			to love hamdulillah salatu salam ala Rasulillah who are the early he was so happy to have my bag
short hearted today insha Allah I just recited Surah to noon total column and the first verses are
actually very powerful because they tell us the lack of the prophets or some of the blessings that
He was given and they contrast him with the worst of the o'clock. So, let us quickly go over the
first few verses of Surah Al column so that we can benefit in shallow data from this early McCunn
revelation known while Calamy one your stone known as one of the verses the letters at the beginning
of the sutras we don't know its meaning and if la meme I mean, we don't know its meaning while
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:49
			Academy wanna your stone, Allah gives a cause some by the pen and what the pen writes in my work to
be says, There are three pens that is referenced in this verse. The first is the divine pen. The
second is the angelic pen, and the third is the human pen. What are these three pens? The first is
the divine pen, what is the divine pen? Our Prophet sallallahu wasallam said the first thing that
Allah created was the column this is the divine column, the divine pen, he said to the pen, right,
the pen said What should I write? The Allah said write everything that shall happen from now until
the day of judgment. So the pen wrote, This is the localmart Fools. This is the divine pen that has
		
00:01:49 --> 00:02:32
			written upon the preserves to tablets, everything that shall happen, so Allah gives a custom by that
pen. The second pen is the angelic pen, what is the angelic pen? The angelic pen is the pen of the
angels, ma yellow for the male Codan elanda de he Rafi when it there is an angel on our right and an
angel on our left and these angels record our deeds. So this is the angelic pen. So Allah gives a
custom by the angelic pen as well. This is our own what we have done the deeds and the third is the
pen of men and I lemon in Santa Mala Mia Adam, right? This is the tag team that Allah has given us
right if Kira Whataburger aka the ILM, a bill column Alderman in Santa Mala Mia Adam. So Allah is
		
00:02:32 --> 00:03:14
			giving us some by his miracle and blessing to us to teach us how to transmit knowledge to other
generations. This is unique to our species, animals cannot cumulatively, you know, benefit the next
generation. Allah has given us the permanent recording of our knowledge and the ability to transfer
our knowledge to a complete stranger generation centuries away. This is the best blessing of the
column. So Allah says known while column he was thrown, then Allah mentions three blessings that our
Prophet sallallahu Sallam had, number one, ma and debonair. Mitrovic, Majnoon number two, were
inelegant original item unknown. Number three, what Nikola hold on Alim three blessings. Number one,
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:49
			your rasool Allah, you are not by Allah's blessings, a person that doesn't have intelligence, you're
not a madman, ie you have the best intelligence when the Qureshi accused them, they said, You're
gone crazy. You've lost it. And Allah says, You are the most intelligent, you have the best
intelligence. This is the blessing of body and mind of the blessings that Allah has given. And our
profit system is the one that embodies it embodies that the best is the blessing of the mind. So
Allah praise is that you have the mind you have the ability to think so this is a blessing that all
of us who have it wish with thank Allah, there are those that are born, they're not able to think
		
00:03:49 --> 00:04:24
			properly, we know them in our midst, that are tested and tried, and their families are tested and
tried. We thank Allah for the blessing of the mind. Number two, the blessing of guidance, the
blessing of reward, you shall get a lot of reward, you're upon guidance. So the blessing of Eman,
the blessing of being connected with Allah, the blessing of earning rewards. This is the blessing of
Islam, the two are not the same. There are plenty who have the blessing of the mind, but they're not
guided to the blessing of Islam. Correct. So the two are not the same. We thank Allah we have the
mind all of us here, and we have the blessing of Islam. Then number three, we're in Nicola who Luke
		
00:04:24 --> 00:05:00
			10 of them and you have the blessing of love, not just any a colloquial Rasulillah you have the
highest of love. There is nobody in the entire creation who has better UCLA than you your hook your
mannerisms or characteristic or the best of the best. And this is a separate and distinct blessing,
because there are some people they're not that intelligent, and they might not even be Muslim, but
they have good luck with the people right. And there are those they have a man but they're about a
flap. So if you really have good Eman and good flap and put it together, this is the best of the
best and generally speaking more easily
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:40
			demand and more o'clock go hand in hand. However, it is not necessary for the two to be intertwined.
You can be good in your rituals and be praying to God and going and fasting and going Ramadan. But
your o'clock is bad. We see koalas refuge and there are people like this. Perhaps we all know some
of them are here to Biller, we seek a lot of refuge and there are those people whose demand is weak
but Masha Allah, their kind, compassionate, caring and merciful. In fact, there are those who don't
even have Eman, do we not have colleagues and friends who are other faith traditions, and yet two
o'clock are good. So the three are distinct blessings, but the best blessing is to combine all three
		
00:05:40 --> 00:06:15
			and that's what inshallah we should all strive for. And our Prophet says and what did he do, he
combined all three of them to the perfection. We're in Nikola Hoboken out in contrast to this is a
series of verses. We don't have time to go into every single one. Obviously, time is limited. But
let me just quickly go over those that talk about the worst of a cloud. When Allah azza wa jal
contrast, the Prophet says and he says you have the best of luck, he then brings the worst of a
cloud. So we need to be careful especially of this list of a cloud that has been contrasted with our
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam first to survive sooner vehicle Don't interrupt Baca who Allah

after saying you have the best of luck shows that these are the worst of luck. So we have to be very

he this is the best man. He says well Allah he and he doesn't care. When you mentioned the name of
Allah, you have to think it's a big deal. When you give a custom you cannot give a custom in the
name of Allah unless it is the truth. So this person he is swearing in a Balton in a false manner.
So when we use the name of Allah, we use it not in vain, but with respect and dignity. Hala Finn

established a reputation that is ignoble, it's not noble hella feminine hammers in Musha in Bin Amin
hammers means that way to Licola houmas That illumos This is a mass Hamas means he is being
sarcastic and putting people down Hamas he's derogatory to other people. And you can only be Hamas
when you think you are better. That's the only reason or else you're not going to do it. So the some

poke, somebody puts him down or with the eye emotion, right? Like winking like this. This is also a
		
00:08:19 --> 00:09:00
			must. So somebody who's putting people down. This is hemas Musha, imbuing a meme. He's always eager
to walk between two people spreading nema. NEMA means that you're in a gathering, and somebody was
mentioned in a manner that he shouldn't be. You're like, oh, this is now a tidbit. This is now
gossip. I can go and tell that person. And when he does this, usually he makes a bigger story.
Usually he cuts off anything good that was said or maybe the context and puts in a little bit extra
Hey, you know, they were making fun of you over there. Hey, you know what they said? This is no meme
and our Prophet salallahu it he was setting them said that, you know, the one who spreads these type
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:38
			of tales and breaks friendships and bonds shall never enter agenda, life agenda DockAtot and our
Prophet system said the majority of our double cover is from this person, the Mima, the one who
loves to tattletale The one who loves to spread gossip by the way in the Mima means that you are
spreading maybe even the truth, but your intention is to break friendships. Your intention is to
break the bonds between people. What's your business? If somebody said something in a gathering? Why
should you go and say something to somebody else once or whatever other disease was sitting and a
man came and said, Hey, do you know what somebody said about you? He said such and such about you?
		
00:09:39 --> 00:10:00
			Or I'm gonna be there as he said, If you want I will verify and if I verify only one of two options,
number one you are lying. And if you are lying, Allah subhanho wa Taala says that oh you will
believe in God and fast your commendable Fatima you know, this means you are a faster if you are
lying. Number two, you are telling the truth, in which case
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:40
			This is Nima. And Allah says Fanatec hola hola. Mahina mozzie Misha and Ben Amin. So Allah has
criticized you are the way you are criticized if you're lying, you're a foster. And if you're
telling the truth, then Allah says I should not listen to you. So which of the two do you want? The
man was silent. Then he their own whatever it says, let's just pretend this never happened. Is that
okay? No. Avianca goes okay, let's pretend this never happened. This is no Mima falafel Tacomas
Mishmar Maheen. Her Mirza Misha Amin Amin Munna a little higher, he is eager to prevent good, he
himself is not generous, and if somebody else is doing good, he wants to stop it midnight and Heidi
		
00:10:40 --> 00:11:22
			Morita din, he takes the rights of other people backbiting, slander, taking their money in it that
means you take the rights of other people a theme in his own life he is sinful drunkard drinking
doing things he should not do eating Riba This is in his personal life more attentive in other
people's lives. He's bothering a theme in his own life more attended a theme her Mazda Misha Eminem
manana with Tony and neither fading Martin to limb by the daddy cousin him. Ruutu is a very
interesting word one of the only times that occurs in the Koran, or tune has been translated as
brutish means here. His o'clock is so bad that people don't want to be around him. His tongue is
		
00:11:22 --> 00:12:05
			sharp. His demeanor is always people are turned away from it, or to limb by the daddy. On top of
this, he's acting in an arrogant manner. And then Xeni Zeny means that technically it means
illegitimate but it doesn't mean illegitimate here, it means he pretends to be somebody he's not. He
wants to act as if he's somebody else. So he is pretending if he is a person of wealth or dignity
and he doesn't have wealth and dignity, he loves to boast, he loves to have an illusion of grandeur
or when he doesn't have it. These are very quickly 10 characteristics that Allah Subhana Allah
mentions after this, then Allah mentions that he rejects the Quran, and he doesn't believe and this
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:42
			is different than having bad luck. So in this beginning of Surah, Al column, Allah subhanaw taala
mentions the pen and his three categories you mentioned, Allah mentions the three blessings that the
Prophet system had the blessing of intelligence, the blessing of Imam, the blessing of Allah. By the
way, Eman and o'clock are not the same as we said, in the Hadeeth intermediate or Profit System
said, when somebody comes to you proposing for your daughter, and he has a man and UCLA, then give
your daughter to him. Notice, Dean and hook were mentioned separately, because there are people that
have Dean but no hook, there are people that are hooked and no Dean. The point is, this is the
		
00:12:42 --> 00:13:18
			person right? So our Prophet systems that I have come to perfect good manners means good manners
exist without Islam, but to perfect them you need Islam, you can have good manners without Islam. A
kafir can have good manners we know how far they have good manners, but to perfect you have to have
Eman and Islam. So Allah mentions the three blessings of the process them then Allah mentions 10
negative characteristics I went to with a very quickly because of time, I encourage you to go back
read this surah and the translation of the seer May Allah subhana wa Tada, makers of the righteous
people of intelligence with good luck and save us from the Bible club Zack moolah Harrison ah Malik
