the story content now we have just talked about the point in time where the Prophet Yusuf Alayhi
Salam revealed his identity to his brothers and his brothers are absolutely astonished and shocked
in today's episode inshallah hotel that we will continue along and talk about the reunion of use of
it his setup with his parents, and as is our custom, we will begin with a recitation of the relevant
verses. So today we will recite inshallah with data from verse number 92, to verse number 98. And I
		

			would encourage our viewers to listen and follow along with the Quran in their hands.

			So, in this passage, use of it his system
		

			informs them all the largest Riva de como yo codelattice Reba chameleon, he said, no blame is on you
today. Notice the phrasing here.
		

			He didn't even say I am not blaming you rather in try and try to make it even less personal, try to
make his brothers not feel so singled out. He didn't say after all that you have done to me, I still
forgive you. rather he keeps it as we say in the in the neutral. He doesn't mention where the blame
will come from. He keeps it anonymous, as he says latter three by the common yom. There shall be no
blame on you. And he does this in order not to hurt his brother's feelings. Look at the the
perfection in the character of use of it his setup. After all that his brothers have done to him, he
still does not want to hurt his brothers even in the slightest. And he says there shall be no blame
		

			not that I am angry or I have forgiven, not even the slightest hint there shall be no blame on you
today. Young Pharaoh Allahu Allah, Allah will forgive you. Now how could you survive he said, I'm
say Allah will forgive you. When he doesn't know what a level do. The response is the because they
made their mistake to use of because they did injustice to use of, then if use of Allah His solemn
forgives his right, then the right of Allah subhanho wa Taala will be forgiven if they repent. In
other words, to take a step back and to clarify what we're talking about. We can say that any type
of sin can be categorized into one of two categories. Any sin that you do is one of two types. The
		

			first type of sin is a sin that is done between you and Allah only. Allah subhanho wa Taala knows of
this and no one else is affected by it, you have not done anything against another human being. So
this is between you and Allah subhanho wa Taala. So for example, if you saw something you should not
have seen if your eyes did something that you should not have done. This is a private sin between
you and Allah. In order to have this sin forgiven. You need to repent to Allah and when you repent,
the sin is forgiven. The second category of sin involves a sin that is between you and another
person, you steal somebody's money, you say something bad about him. So it involves you add another
		

			person, and what it involves you and another person. In this case, you need to seek forgiveness not
just from Allah, but also from the person whom you have wronged. So if you have stolen somebody's
money, you must ask him forgiveness and ask a lot because you have transgressed to rights, the
rights of Allah because you stole them that goes against all those commands, and the rights of this
person, the rights of the person, you need to ask him directly.
		

			The fact that use of Allah His serum is the one who has been wronged. When use of forgives them,
then all that is left is the right of Allah and the rights of Allah is always forgiven if you truly
repent. And they themselves said we were mistaken. We made a mistake in Kona halter in we weren't
people who were in error. So they admitted their guilt and their mistake and they realized that they
did something wrong and they are going to repent. So that is why use of allihies salaam can be so
confident and say young fit Allahu Allah, Allah will forgive you because Yusuf has forgiven and they
have repented. And when that is the case, then there is no question that they will be forgiven. Well
		

			who are out of Hamra Haman and He is the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy. So he is our
hammer. Rohini means that even though some people have Rama, even though some people have mercy, no
one can compare to Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, the mercy that Allah subhana wa Ida has. Allah is
our hamoed Rahim. Allah is the most merciful and the most compassionate of all those who have mercy
and compassion. Now, what is significant about this verse is that it's so it's very a stark reminder
of the realities of the revelation of the sutra. Remember why this sutra was revealed? It was
revealed to consult our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, to tell him that if you think your
		

			people have rejected you, how about the Prophet Yusuf, whose own brothers rejected him physically,
they threw him out. If you think that you have suffered hardship, you are not the first one use of
Allah His name was only six, seven years old when the hardships began. So it is a consolation to the
prophets of Allah who it send them and it is also an indication that patience and perseverance will
give you the rewards of Allah, like the Prophet Yusuf Alayhi Salam was patient and persevered. Now,
remember, this sorta was revealed at the low height of the Sierra if you like the low depths of the
theater where it was the most traumatic time for the Prophet salallahu idea he was setting them yet,
		

			when does he use this verse? Amazingly, he uses this very verse at the pinnacle of the incidence of
this hero, call Elijah three of the Komodo Pharaoh local Warhammer Rahimi, the exact same verse that
use of uses at the end of this surah our Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam used it at the
pinnacle.
		

			of his prophethood. And when was that? that occurred when the Prophet salallahu alaihe salam re
conquered Mecca, when he returned to Mecca as a conquer the very city that had expelled him, the
very city that had persecuted him, the very city that had caused him so much harm and grief and
hassle. Now he comes back in the eighth year of the hijra, and he comes back leading an army of
1000s of Muslims. And he comes back as a conqueror, as a victor, as a as a person who now controls
the entire city. And all the people of Makkah are scared, they are terrified. What will this band do
to him to them after all they have done to him, they deserve to be executed one after another. They
		

			deserve that they are punished the severest punishment for all that they have done, not just for the
last 10 for the last 20 years, the persecution that they have done. So they all come huddled,
cowering, scared, terrified around the Kaaba, and the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is standing high up,
and he says, matter noona and Nephilim become, what do you think? Or perhaps, what is the real thing
I should do to you? What is the verdict that you deserve? What do you think I should do to you? So
obviously, in that terrified state, in that scared state, all they could do is beg and plead in the
best way. And they say, you are noble relative, and the son of a noble relative. In other words,
		

			we're all related. We're all family. So they remind him after all that they have done, after the
persecution and torture, after the assassination attempts against him, what can come out of their
mouth, oh, we are all family. We are all one group. We are all from the chorus, we all have the same
ancestors. You are our cousin, you are relative, and your parents were also our relatives. So when
they said this, and of course the Prophet says I've had no intention to punish them. He said the
same verse that use of Allah His Salaam said, God, Allah, Allah communion, there is no blame on you
today, Yellowfin Allahu Allah, Allah will forgive you. Well, who are humble Rahimi, and He is the
		

			Most Merciful of all those who show mercy, then use of it instead of says it will be coming. So he
had to take the shirt of mine, and throw it on the face of my father, he shall return back to seeing
and bring your families back to me here in Egypt. So he gives him the shirt. He gives him the shirt
that he was wearing, and tells the brothers go back to your father and throw the shirt in his face.
When it touches his face, his eyesight will get back to normal. Here we see the the motif of the
shirt again, the shirt is what the brothers took off of use of the shirt is the evidence they gave
to their father. The shirt is the very evidence that their father realized Yousuf is alive because
		

			it wasn't torn into bits. And then the shirt was was torn from use of when the woman tried to seduce
him, the wife of Aziz, and the shirt proved his innocence there. And now the theme of the shirt
returns at the end, and he tells them take this dummies take this garment, ensure divine and throw
it in my father's face, the very shirt that caused him blindness in the beginning, because of the
grief. Now the shirts will come back and bring his sight back. And this is because the it This is
because the cure of any disease is always the the the opposite of that disease. So the shirt that
caused him to go blind. Now another shirt of use of his sternum will bring him back to his site. And
		

			obviously we know that the clothes of all of the profits anything that is connected to their bodies,
it has an intrinsic blessing to it. Anything that the profits are more anything that he touched, and
he wants it that comes from his hands, all of this would become blessing. And so use of it his Sam
gave this shirt which must have now been a blessing shirt, but this is only for the prophets of
Allah. No pious person can say that I am exuding blessings or blessings come from my shirt. No, only
only the prophets of Allah are so holy, that their very bodies become items that are blessing and so
anything that they wear becomes blessing as well. And so he told he told them take the shirt and go
		

			throw it on the face of my father and he shall return to his state of seeing. We need to take a
short break now. I know all of you will stay with me. We'll see you in a bit. lavado ganas de casa

			only.
		

			So use of Islam gives them his shirt and says Go back to your father and throw this shirt in his
face and he'll return to his site that he used to see
		

			Allah says in the Quran what am fossati you then when the caravan departed from Egypt, when the
caravan default departed from Egypt audioboom their father said, in need of a god,
		

			I am sure I can smell you. I am sure I can smell use of the scent of use of I can smell it, Lola and
to finally do were it not for the fact that you would think that I am now senile and old, I would
have said even more. In other words, I am sure I smell the scent of use of. But I know that when I
say this, all that you're going to think is that I am an old man who has lost his mind. So all the
way from Egypt when the caravan sets forth, the prophet Jehovah his sternum is blessed with the
sense and perception Something is happening I smell my son again. And of course all of this was from
Allah subhana wa tada that Allah subhanho wa Taala blessed him with this blessing and this, this
		

			bushrod is good news. That use of Allah Hassan is about to return, you're about to see him and
things are going to change. Of course when he said this, what do you think his relative said hit now
these are his grandchildren because all the sons are in Egypt, the grandchildren and great
grandchildren. They replied back that auto indicative call it's a law hit in the coffee bar, they
call them, they said we swear by Allah, you are still in your old ways of misguidance misguidance.
Here, again is not a spiritual misguidance it is a an error. That is an intellectual error. It's not
an error, that is a religious error. Remember, they are all Yeah, who is a prophet. So they cannot
		

			accuse this prophet of being misguided in a religious sense. Rather they think that he is mistaken
and when he thinks that use of Allah His setup is returning, and this shows us that Indeed Allah
subhanho wa Taala blesses certain people with things that he does not bless others with and
especially the prophets, obviously, they are blessed with matters that the other people are not
blessed with. So they they dismiss this and they say, You are indeed in your arable ways, you cannot
you cannot possibly be smelling use of Allah He said them rather just like all of these years, all
you can do is think of use of use of use of now once again you're saying the same thing, but now
		

			it's a twist. And the twist is you think you can smell use of so they dismiss this, this, this
prophets sayings as being that of an old man ranting away, they don't appreciate the fact that this
is the Prophet jacoba his center and the knowledge that Allah has given him. So they trivialize the
status of Yaqub simply because he is their father and grandfather, although it's a law in Nicola
fee, but article khadim selama and Al Bashir then when the bus she came, and there but she had here
refers to one of the brothers and Allah calls him but she's not that his name was Bashir, but it's a
description. It means the one who bought the good tidings, the one who came with the good news, and
		

			that is why even the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is called a bedsheet in the Quran, because he gives
us good news of Allah's mercy. He gives us good news of Allah's pleasure, he gives us good news of
the hereafter. So even the prophets that listed them is called Bashir. Some of the scholars say that
the very brother who was the most evil of them before, and the one who has the most sinister in
wanting to kill us have in the beginning of the story, that brother turned over completely and
realize the error of his ways. And he insisted on bringing the shirt back to his father. And this is
something that inshallah Allah is not far from the truth because all of the brothers repented from
		

			what they had done. So the one that was the worst of them in terms of the plotting and planning, he
became the most repentant and he was the one who came and he insisted to bring the shirt to their
father because of all of the crimes that he had done. And he threw the shirt in the face of jacoba
his setup and miraculously by the pleasure and the mercy and the will of Allah subhanho wa Taala the
eyesight of Yahoo was restored because I such of Yahoo had gone blind because of the excessive
crying that he had done for the Prophet use of Allah His setup. And at this point, he said odd
Aquila come in the eye level Meena law, he made it.
		

			He said, didn't I tell you that I know from Allah, what you don't know. He is a prophet of Allah. He
is a prophet and they don't did not appreciate that. Not that they didn't realize it. No, of course
they believe in him. But they did not appreciate the depth of knowledge that he had, that he knew
that Yousuf was alive for all of these years, he never gave up hope in Allah, He put his trust in
Allah that my son is still alive. And when the news comes back and use of Allah, he said, Our story
is told, remember, all the brothers would have told him now What happened? He said, didn't I tell
you that? I know from Allah, what you do not know. And this also shows us that all knowledge that a
		

			person has it comes from Allah, not from any person himself. And there are those people now who
believe that
		

			certain human beings possess knowledge of everything. And this is something that the Quran clearly
denies. Rather it is the prophets who possess more knowledge but not even ultimate knowledge.
Because the Prophet Yaqoob did not know where Yusuf was the Prophet jackal didn't know the details.
All he knew his son is alive and he put his trust in Allah in that the point I'm trying to stress
here, if the Prophet Yahoo and he is such a great Prophet did not know the knowledge of the unseen
all of it, then how could any other human being in our times claim? How could any scholar or any
person who believes that he has knowledge other than what is found in the Quran and Sunnah claim he
		

			has knowledge of the unseen these are things that we as Muslims do not believe. True, orthodox Islam
does not make Gods out of men, only Allah Subhana Allah knows in my life, anybody who claims that he
knows in my life is simply lying. No one knows anything other than Allah subhanho wa Taala. So
prophet Jakob tells them I knew from Allah things that you didn't know. And of the things I knew the
product use of his life. How do you abandon they said, Oh, our Father is still Filipina is lubaina.
seek Allah's forgiveness for us is still for Lana drobeta in Kona Hata, in we were of those who made
a mistake, we admit our mistake. So they all beg and plead their father for forgiveness. And they
		

			also ask him to ask Allah for forgiveness. So they realize the error of their ways. They realize the
big mistake that they had committed, and they have to ask forgiveness from use of from the for their
father, and from Allah subhanho wa Taala. So because their father was a prophet, they go to their
father and they say, oh, our father asked a lot to forgive us a stone for that little banner in the
corner, hotter in and the reply is on a sofa stone for Lacombe. He says so far after a while, after
some time, I will seek forgiveness from Allah for your sins. In never will have a photo Rahim He is
the one who is the most forgiving and the Most Merciful. Now why did he delay the seeking of
		

			forgiveness?
		

			What was the reason for delaying it?
		

			Some scholars say that he wanted to delay it until the last third of the night. And the last third
of the night is the time which is the most blessing and the most opportune time to have your
daughter accepted. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us that Allah subhana wa Allah
Himself descends into the lowest heavens, he comes down himself into the lowest heavens. And he
asks, Who is there that is praying to me, that I may accept that prayer? Who is there that is making
that me give him what he wants? Who is there that is requesting something that I may fulfill his
requests? So this occurs in the last third of the night, that Allah subhanho wa Taala comes down
		

			himself, and he asks, Who is there that's praying to me? We're talking about the night prayer, that
the hybrid prayer so they say that the Prophet jackalberry He said, I wanted to delay asking for
their forgiveness up until the last third of the night. And he says in the huella, for Rahim,
Verily, Allah subhana wa tada is a food add a Rahim, Allah for means the one who covers up the sin,
the one who conceals it, and protects you from the consequences of this and this is the meaning of a
form that the protector or the cover of the sin, so that the consequences of the sin do not return
back to you. This is the actual meaning of food, not just for giving us a bit vague, but the actual
		

			meaning of food, you have a sin and Allah protects you from the consequences of your own sin. And a
Rahim means that Allah has mercy and compassion. So Allah subhana wa tada combines between these two
her photo Rahim in many, many verses in the Quran, to show you that the reason why he protects these
sins and covers them up is because he is compassionate and merciful. Now, before we conclude today's
episode, I want to talk about a little bit of a tangent. And that is the concept of asking someone
to ask Allah subhana wa tada because they say over here, or our father asked Allah to forgive us. So
they themselves obviously have asked Allah for forgiveness. And they have asked use of and their
		

			fathers for direct forgiveness for the crimes they have done against them. But here they ask yah,
yah hoo. They say, oh, our father asked a lot for forgiveness. This leads us into a theological
tangent. Can you go through intermediaries to get to Allah? And the response to this is no, you can
		

			You are not allowed to go through intermediaries to get to Allah, but you are allowed only one
thing. And that is, you may ask another living person who is alive who is in front of you who is
physically present, you may ask that person to make the art for you to seek forgiveness for you. But
you cannot ask a living or a dead person to forgive a sin between you and Allah, or to give you life
or child or health or wealth. You cannot ask a living person for the law that only Allah subhana wa
tada is worthy of asking, nor can you ask a dead person, you cannot ask a saint or an intermediary.
You cannot go to the grave of a pious person and say, Oh, so and so make dua to Allah for Forgive
		

			me, or much worse. Oh, so and so forgive me. Oh, so and so give me a child to do this is blatant
ship, to ask a dead person for something that only Allah can give you? This is blatant should you
are making this person into a god besides Allah, rather what the children of Yaqoob did. They asked
him to ask Allah for forgiveness. And they're allowed to do this, especially because Jaco is a
prophet. And even in our times, if you find a person that you believe, is more righteous and pious
than you, then along with your own, and along with your own efforts, if you go to this person, and
you say, Oh, sure, so and so. Oh, mmm. so and so? Can you make dua to Allah to forgive me or to give
		

			me a child or this and that this is permissible, because you have asked him as a living healthy
person who can hear you who knows what you're saying, to raise his hands and say, oh, Allah, forgive
this man, oh, Allah give him what he wants. And the Sahaba used to do this, the companions of the
Prophet system used to do this with the Prophet. So instead of while he was alive, but after the
prophets are sent and passed away, they never went to his grave. They never talked to him, as he's
in the grave. And they said, Yeah, Rasulullah do this and do that. Because they realize that he is
now alive in the life of the Buddha, not the life of this world. The Prophet system is alive,
		

			nobody's denying that. But the life that he has, is not the life that we have. It is a different
type of life. So this is a theological point that I wanted to emphasize because of this verse where
they go to their fathers and they say, oh, our father asked Allah to forgive us. This is permissible
only for a living person and shallow to add on our next episode, we will talk about the family
reunion that occurred in Egypt with the Prophet Yusuf and the brothers and the parents. inshallah, I
hope to see you then, until next time, Assalamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh loco ganas de
