			Smilla Rahmanir Rahim o salat wa
salam ala Rasulillah. While he was
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			happy, he was still in the
Sleeman, cafiero Ahmedabad.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:16
			So along the next few minutes,
we're going to be spending some
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:22
			time on some reflections of Surah
that, in my opinion, is one of the
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:27
			most powerful sources in the
Quran. That's called turut almak
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:32
			minimoon Surah of the believers,
Allah subhanaw taala has named
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:36
			that believers because of the
reasons that I'm going to mention
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:40
			insha Allah to Allah. So today,
we're just gonna go very quick an
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:46
			overview about the surah and and
and my goal in sha Allah Tala is
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:51
			after this talk, that me and you
go back to the surah in the Quran
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			and the most half. And check it
out. If you know Allah, if you
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:58
			recite it with a translation that
changes, the translation is enough
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:04
			for you to really get hit with the
powerful meaning of of this
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:09
			beautiful surah. So Allah subhanaw
taala starts off the entire Surah
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:15
			by saying F la minimoon the
believers, indeed will be
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			successful.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:22
			But this is a conclusion. So Allah
starts of the surah with a
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:27
			conclusion. And then Allah is
going to mention how can me and
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:33
			you get a high Eman that allow us
to achieve that level of success.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:39
			So right after this ayah Allah
subhanaw taala started listing the
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:43
			qualities of the believers, he
mentioned, you know, couple of
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			qualities that I want you to check
out in sha Allah, Allah when you
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:50
			go home. And then after chicken,
these qualities, so bear with me,
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:54
			he starts out by saying the
conclusion believers are
		
00:01:54 --> 00:02:00
			successful. And here is some of
the things that you need to know
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:05
			about who the believer is, these
are the qualities and right after
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:14
			this, he gave us a solution he
gave us that the mean that the
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:18
			what's called the method to
follow. So we can achieve that
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:23
			level of Eman. You want to achieve
that level of Eman. Here is the
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:31
			list of things that we need to do.
He said, first, you need to know
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:35
			who Allah subhanaw taala is, by
the way, sortimo muralism akin
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:39
			Surah it was revealed in Mecca.
And most of the sources that were
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:44
			revealed in Mecca, speaks about
Allah, the creation of Allah, the
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:48
			beauty of the creation of Allah,
the beauty of the universe, the
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:53
			beauty of, you know, the creation
of mankind, speaks about the
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:57
			unseen world speaks about the Day
of Judgment speaks about the
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:02
			angels, it's all about a man. All
of these sources are focused on
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:05
			email, the McKenzie was the
Macedonian tourists are focused
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:11
			more into the rulings and rulings
a fasting rule itself, you know,
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:16
			has rulings of Salah all of that.
So my cancers are so powerful, so
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:19
			powerful. So Allah has sort of the
Moon Moon,
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			again starts off the surah by
saying what the conclusion
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:28
			believers are successful. And here
are the qualities and then he
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			spoke about the creation of
mankind lie I did this exercise
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:36
			with my students one time it was
mind boggling. I told them go and
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			look for your ultrasound pictures.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			Go and look for your own
ultrasound pictures and bring it
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:49
			up to me tomorrow. And we got
these ultrasound pictures. And we
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:53
			match it with the steps that Allah
subhanaw taala has mentioned here
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:57
			in certain moments and and how
Allah created the baby in the
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:01
			womb. And how are the steps the
development of the steps and
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			Subhanallah you can match these
pictures, just the baby want to
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:08
			start like a little dot and then
it grows and just match it with
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:12
			the surah Wallah. It's mind
boggling. We need to do this today
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			in sha Allah Tala when you go
home, if you have if you still
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:19
			have the pictures of the
ultrasound of your children, bring
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:23
			your child open up so little mommy

00:04:24 --> 00:04:30
			Allah has is mentioning here. The
steps on how you developed in the
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:31
			womb of your mother.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:36
			What else certainty attain you
need, you know to prove the Quran
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:40
			right? Subhanallah Subhanallah and
then after this, Allah subhanaw
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:44
			taala speaks about something even
greater. Is there anything greater
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:48
			than the creation of human being?
Yes, the creation of God of the
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:53
			universe of the sky of the earth
of the entire universe recently,
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:56
			you know, we've got to see this
beautiful pictures of the
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			universe. Hala magnificent
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			picture of the universe that
should remind us by Allah subhanaw
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:07
			taala. how huge the universe is,
just remind you by who Allah
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:11
			subhanaw taala is. So here's what
the moon, after Allah speaks about
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:15
			the creation of mankind spoke
about the creation of the universe
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:20
			after this, spoke about two of the
prophets, to have the prophets,
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:25
			prophets know Hello Salam also
speaks about how he was resilient
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:34
			950 years given Dawa his his, his
major motivation was this idea and
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:38
			this aspect of faith. Remember
this surah was revealed to the
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:43
			Sahaba for Salah, Salah Salem only
when they were very weak, scared,
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:48
			you know, the DA was just in the
baby steps. And they were they
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:52
			needed that support that help to
help them go through that
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			difficult time. So Allah is
reminding them actually a reminder
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:59
			for definitely for us as well.
That Prophet knew, you know,
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:04
			sacrificed way more than you.
That's that's the message of Allah
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:08
			subhanaw taala. And then he
mentioned the story of Prophet
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:11
			Musa alayhis salam, it's all in
one Surah Surah three movie noon,
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			brothers and sisters, we need to
check it out today in Shallowater,
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:18
			Prophet Musa alayhis, Salam and
the fitna that he went through,
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:23
			and the difficulty the hardships
facing Pharaoh and whatnot. It's a
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:28
			journey of pain, journey of
difficulties. And in an IRA bisa
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:33
			de and he mentioned that like
Allah is with me, I'm just I have
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:36
			this tranquility because I know
for a fact that my Eman will help
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:41
			me go over all of these hardships
and difficulties. And after this
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46
			towards the end of the surah
beautiful surah. Again, Wallahi
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:49
			highly recommend this for all of
us just that translation is
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:53
			sufficient inshallah for all of us
towards the end of the surah Allah
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			subhanaw taala
		
00:06:55 --> 00:07:00
			speak strongly about one of the
scenes that's going to occur on
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:04
			the day of judgments. And I'll
tell you that you know, it's a
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:09
			little scary. The last last page
is a little scary, because Allah
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			subhanaw taala speaks about one of
the scenes that's going to happen.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:17
			He starts off from an Fabula Xenu
for like a movie Haroon, those who
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			have heavy weight on their good
deeds, they're going to be
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:23
			successful. Omaha Faulkner was you
know, for like Latina hospital and
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:27
			for some fija Hannah Mahalia Dune,
and those who don't have enough
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30
			good deeds and their skill, they
will be permanently in hellfire.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:36
			And then he started describing how
they will be, you know, how's
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:40
			their status and the day and the
hellfire? He said telfa who would
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:45
			you have woman? Tell her who who
now? We're Humphrey Hi Kelly. Who?
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:50
			That the fire will slap their
faces. Well, homecare will home
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:56
			for you How can the home can hold
such a heavy word that their faces
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			will be affected by the Hellfire
to the point that they will look
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59
			ugly.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:03
			And I'm taking it to Clara Lake
Consequently, I had to cut the
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:06
			bone we reminded you by the eyes
of Allah subhanaw taala and you
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:10
			have denied all of the signs of
Allah subhanaw taala you've seen
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:15
			it. The Prophet Sierra was brought
to you and you denied it. The
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:18
			beauty of Islam was brought
brought to you and you mark the
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:22
			prophets, you mark the
disbelievers today, you are going
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:27
			to be permanently in hellfire. And
then he said Paul would have been
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:31
			Allah but Allah and Aisha Cortona
Hakuna comando Lena Oh Allah we
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:36
			weren't able to accept the truth
and we were misguided
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:42
			Robin Krishna Mina Oh ALLAH
beautiful as here I mean strong is
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:46
			very strong guys. Robin Krishna
Mina Oh ALLAH just give us another
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:51
			chance another opportunity for in
for in Navali moon and if we go
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:55
			back and we've turned back to our
status our behavior of previous
		
00:08:55 --> 00:09:00
			behavior then in Navali moon then
we will we will be among those who
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:06
			committed and just students to
themselves. Call set Ophelia wala
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:09
			to Kalamoon told them like you

00:09:09 --> 00:09:15
			hellfire and led to Kalamoon don't
even pray anymore. This is not the
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:23
			time for prayer. You got plenty of
time on the on the on the dunya to
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:27
			pray and to ask Allah subhanaw
taala for forgiveness, and you did
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:32
			not now you don't you don't get to

00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			that maybe the thought that
they're a minority
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:43
			now can affect your community

			and mercy. And today I'm going to
give them that mercy and
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:52
			forgiveness.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:57
			So again, overview about the surah
starts off by the moment are
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			successful and then you
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
