Allah Hammerberg. So today I recited certain verses of Surah Felter and inshallah we'll just comment
on some of the beautiful meanings that are found in these verses, I recited, of course, first,
beginning with you and NASA unto modificado, Allah, all mankind, all of you are faqeer in front of
Allah and Allah is Allah Vani and Hamid and in the second verse, I began from the second section of
this, which is Allah azza wa jal and mentioning various signs around us and linking those signs to
his existence. And then there's a very interesting phrase that comes, we're going to talk about that
		
00:01:17 --> 00:02:05
			today. So Allah says, I'm Tara and Allah and Ximena Semih, Ema and Haven't you seen that Allah has
sent down from the heavens rain for a garage nabby Heath Emirati ma telefone guanhua from that one
rain, the same rain. Allah has caused many plants to come forth. These plants are all metallic in
their Alwan their colors are different. So the soil is the same color. The rain is the same color,
but the plants that come are varied in everything in their species in the fruits and in their color.
Most elephant albino hmm so Allah mentions that all of this is different in color. And then Allah
subhanaw taala says that the same applies woman energy body Judo don't build on what homegrown more
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:48
			telefone elewana Doha wakatobi boo suit and from the mountains as well, from the mountains look
around you. The doodad here means the peaks and the crevices. So every mountain it has you know, the
unique shape every mountain has rocks sticking out it has those crevices in it. So Allah says look
at these various mountains when we go to Bali Judah don't build on some of them are shining white,
so the rock is like almost white and homerun reddish in color. And then also hot all the booze sued
dark complete dark woman a Nazi what Doha be one an army, more telephone Alwan, Oka, garlic, and
from mankind, you have all of these colors, and from the animals that you rear cows and sheep, you
		
00:02:48 --> 00:03:27
			have different color, and from all types of animals in the earth, you have different color. Now,
what is Allah mentioning in all of this diversity, there is actually a very deep philosophical point
that that we can find in this, it is mentioned by some of the Western scholars when it comes to the
proofs for the existence of God. And it is called the proof of the existence of God from beauty, the
proof of the existence of God from beauty. What does this mean? The proof goes as follows. That the
fact that we have within us the mechanism to appreciate the beauty of the creation.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:04:15
			because beauty is something that doesn't have to be within us. There's no reason for us to
appreciate a majestic sunset. And yet every human being appreciates a majestic sunset. There is no
reason to feel all when we look at the stars around us. Yet every single human when he standing or
she standing looking up to the heavens in the darkness, and they look at those millions of stars.
They feel a sense of awe and appreciation. Why? Why do we feel a sense of awe and appreciation? When
we look at those nature documentaries and we find animals and how they hunt and how they you know
communicate with one another and how the ants build there Antibes no matter what, your level of
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:59
			Eman, you cannot help but be in all even the non Muslim he isn't all that's why these nature
documentaries are so popular and watched by all the question why do you feel all and where do you
get this beauty from? The response. This is a Western notion which is found in the Quran. The
Creator wanted his creation to be enjoyed. The Creator wanted his creation to be appreciated. And so
he implanted within us the mechanism to appreciate the creation. Are you guys following this? Right?
There is no reason for us to find something beautiful in the creation. Think about it. There's an
absolute
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:45
			The no reason, but every one of us finds it. And the Quran has not one not five, two dozen versus
woman, a yachtie. He looked at the Hulk, look at the stars. Look at the all of the signs around you.
Haven't you seen the full katachi? Philippi? Haven't you seen the skies rain coming down? Haven't
you seen that which is in the heavens average, you're seeing the sun in the moon. And in those
creation are signs Allah says, this notion of finding miracles in the creation, of appreciating the
creation of looking at the diversity of the creation and appreciating the Creator. All of this goes
back to the argument for the existence of God, by virtue of the existence of beauty, recognizing
		
00:05:45 --> 00:06:38
			beauty, so this passage can go in that vein. Then there's a phrase which at first cent at first
glance does not make sense. Allah says in this section, in Yoshua, Allah Mary Barra de la rue Lama,
after mentioning the diversity of animals, beasts of prey, mankind, the mountains, the vegetation,
Allah then says it is only the Lama who truly fear Allah subhanho wa taala. What has this phrase got
to do with all that is before it, the response our scholars say Allah is alluding to the fact that
there is diversity not just in how you look, but also in how you are inside of you. So when how you
look it is your skin colors, then there's also a diversity on the inside. And then within that
		
00:06:38 --> 00:07:24
			diversity, that is one group that is the best of the best. And that group are those who have
knowledge of Allah subhanho wa taala. So by talking about the diversity of the creation, Allah hints
to the diversity of Eman and Taqwa as well. Not all of mankind is the same in their skin colors. Not
all of mankind is the same in their Eman and out of all of those who have Eman. It is one group that
is the highest in nama Yahshua La Mina Eva barra de Luna MA in the la hora z is one of our food. So
this indicates that that which is beyond your control, your skin color does not give you benefit.
This is a verse against racism because Allah says of his signs if therefore I wanna come you have
		
00:07:24 --> 00:08:08
			different colored skin colors, then Allah says the one who has the most Eman and the most fear is
the one who is the alum, not the one whose skin color is brown or white or black. So the one who is
the most beloved to Allah has nothing to do with your skin colors. Your skin colors are irrelevant.
It's a miracle. Appreciate it. Look at the diversity of the creation, but realize that has nothing
to do with the Hashem of Allah with the nobility of Allah. What has that got to do with there isn't
and there is that which is linked to the Sharia. Whenever Allah praises in the Quran, he is talking
about the knowledge of himself and the knowledge of the Shetty. As for him that is generic knowledge
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:49
			in and of itself. It is only praiseworthy when it brings you closer to Allah, in and of itself
knowledge of physics of astronomy or whatnot. If you don't have Yvonne and Taqwa it's not going to
bring you any nobility. And if you have Eman and Taqwa and you use this knowledge to come closer to
Allah, then it will be blessing. As for knowledge of the Quran, and knowledge of Allah and knowledge
of the Prophet system. It is intrinsically blessing. And if a person knows this and acts upon it, in
Yahshua, Allah Muhammad Eva de Andrew lemma, this verse also shows that the highest level can only
be achieved via knowledge. The worshiper is good, but the alum is far better than the worshiper. And
		
00:08:49 --> 00:09:32
			this is why our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that the superiority of the alum over the
worshipper is like that of the moon over the stars. It's a very powerful metaphor. It says it then
Timothy, one moon eclipses all the stars when there's a full moon. You don't see a single star
except maybe the North Star and Sirius and whatnot. That's it. Everything else is blocked out. When
the moon is not there. You see billions of stars. But all of those stars don't give you enough light
to help you on earth. Whereas one moon gives you all the light that you need. At night. In the
middle of the night, a full moon you can actually see with it, and it casts a shadow. One scholar
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:59
			can revive an entire OMA one scholar can be a mover and shaker 1000 worshippers they benefit
themselves. They don't benefit other people. They're stars, but they're not movers and shakers. So
in nama Yahshua la manera de la ma it is the Roma who truly fear Allah subhanho wa Taala who are the
Roma, Allah azza wa jal says in the next verse, a lady named Luna Kitab Allah wa como Sala wa to
cerca though
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:40
			They are the ones who recite the book of Allah subhanho wa taala. And they pray, and they give
charity and they're constantly giving Simran Wallonia, they're giving in secret and in hiding in
public and in secret, those are the ones who are going to be passing the test. And then Allah
mentions one of the most amazing verses. And when this verse will conclude, Allah mentions the
categories of the believers, the categories of those who have been there are not all the same film
our rough, Nikita, Ladino Stephane and Reba dena. Then we allow the group of people whom we have
chosen to take the book, the believers of the book, we allow the group of people to inherit the
		
00:10:40 --> 00:11:28
			book. So these are the Muslims. Allah mentions three categories femin home volley, Molina FC, woman
whom mocha tested women home Salah Bill Campbell karate be even Illa valleca, who will follow KB.
This is the most explicit verse in the Quran about the different categories of believers. And this
verse summarizes in three main categories, the first category, these are all believers, how do we
know this? Because Allah says from our rational Kitab Aladino, stuffing them in a body now, we chose
some of our servants, and we allow them to take the book, who takes the book, the believers, the
believers believe in the book. These believers from in home volume will lean FC one group even
		
00:11:28 --> 00:12:14
			though they took the book, they wrong themselves. they wronged themselves. They didn't do justice.
Women home Mahkota acid, and some of them were average. Mokhtar said here means average women home
sir Bill Campbell hieratic, even Illa czar Lika who will Fabul Kabir and some of them beat the race
and they were at the forefront. And that is the father of Allah subhanho wa taala. What are these
three categories? Our scholars mentioned, the Muslim who inherits the book, but does not act upon it
does not do the YG baths and falls into the haram. This is londonwill Enough. See, he's still a
Muslim. He's inherited the book, but he is doing wrong to himself. It doesn't harm Allah. The
		
00:12:14 --> 00:13:02
			Mahkota acid is somebody who does the minimum not falling into the major sins. But He also falls
short. He might do minor sins constantly. He will not take advantage of getting a higher pass up
just doing the bare minimum and getting by that's matassa. On the middle is okay. See, does the job
woman whom Saba can build hierarchies, and some of them have won the race because of their good
deeds hierarchy? How do you win the race extra? What is the extra what is the bonus hierarchy? You
have to have good deeds. And Allah says that Erica who will for that is the father of Allah, that is
the clear father. Now these are the three categories. Volume, Moca acid, and sobre la right? What
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:48
			will happen to all of these categories? In the end, Jenna to either Nino, the whole Luna
Subhanallah, all three of them, we'll get to Jana. But the Hadith tells us that it's not all the
same. The hadith informs us the volume will enough See he might go through Jahannam for a period of
time when a shadow Billa we see colors refuge. We don't want to be amongst that category. But
there's going to be a large group of Muslims this we learn from the Hadith. The Quran, alludes to it
but not explicit isn't Hadith, there's going to be a large group of Muslims who fell short of Allah
Moline of sin. And our Prophet sallallahu sallam said they shall be punished for as long as Allah
		
00:13:48 --> 00:14:06
			wills them to be punished but their Eman will save them. And that's what Allah is saying Jana to
adenine, they shall enter yet whoa Luna the Hulu is not going to be for Jahannam even the volume if
he enters Jahannam it will not be Hollywood. Hollywood means what?
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:52
			Eternity that's why when it comes to Hollywood, Allah says even the volume Janna to either in India
the whole Luna the Hollywood will be there because Eman and the Kalima even an atom's wait will
eventually save you. This is the volume. As for the Mocha hotel said, They shall be us how will you
mean? They're good, they've done their job, and they shall enter Jannah and they shall be saved from
the worst punishment. Allah mentions this explicitly in the Quran. It is a promise from Allah
subhanho wa Taala it is a promise from Allah that Allah says in the Quran in Destiny Bukoba Rama
toon Hona and Nuka pharaon come say your article want to the hero komoot Holla and Karima This is
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:59
			Allah's promise if you avoid the major sins, which means you're not murdering, you're not stealing,
you're not *, plundering.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:35
			You're praying and doing the regular good deeds. If you avoid the major sins, we shall forgive your
minor ones on the day of judgment, and you shall enter Jannah you might be punished but not in
Jahannam the punishment will be in this world in the grave on the day of judgment, but not in
jahannam. This is a promise of Allah. So, this is more tacit, you shall enter and you will be in the
broad peripheries of Jannah. But then there is the highest level there is the higher MACOM there is
the horror of there is the fear dose, right?
		
00:15:36 --> 00:16:19
			Allah azza wa jal mentions in the Quran Well, it could Linda Raja tune, mimma Emmylou and all of
them shall have their da Raja based upon their Amal very clear, very simple. This is Allah's
fairness, right? The one who studied shall not get the same grade as the one who was lazy. The one
who put in the effort will not be in the same level as the one who was average. So Allah says, women
whom said the Khumbu harati be the Nilla some of them are at the very beginning and winning the race
by the good deeds, and that is from the father of ALLAH SubhanA wa taala. And all three of them
shall eventually enter Jannah but each one in accordance with what they have done, the volume might
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:58
			not enter immediately whether you are the biller, the mycotoxin will be in the lower levels and in
the peripheral regions, and the Saba Kumble hierarchy will be in the highest levels of the horror of
that is called the VIP suites. The agenda to for those and all of them will be there because they
believed in the book and they did what they could. So the question now to you is very simple. These
are the three groups which one do you consider yourself in now? And which one do you want to be in
when you die? Simple as that? So we ask Allah subhana wa Tada to save us from the law limiting upset
and we ask Allah subhana wa Tada to bless us to be over the Saba Campbell hierarchy. And we ask
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:10
			Allah azza wa jal to raise our ranks and Jen and to make us of the people of Eman and of Iman and of
the people of knowledge in nama Yahshua Allah Meribah da da da da da da Zack Milaca and I'm writing
Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh.
