Smilla Rahmanir Rahim o salat wa salam ala Rasulillah. While he was
happy, he was still in the Sleeman, cafiero Ahmedabad.
So along the next few minutes, we're going to be spending some
time on some reflections of Surah that, in my opinion, is one of the
most powerful sources in the Quran. That's called turut almak
minimoon Surah of the believers, Allah subhanaw taala has named
that believers because of the reasons that I'm going to mention
insha Allah to Allah. So today, we're just gonna go very quick an
overview about the surah and and and my goal in sha Allah Tala is
after this talk, that me and you go back to the surah in the Quran
and the most half. And check it out. If you know Allah, if you
recite it with a translation that changes, the translation is enough
for you to really get hit with the powerful meaning of of this
beautiful surah. So Allah subhanaw taala starts off the entire Surah
by saying F la minimoon the believers, indeed will be
successful.
But this is a conclusion. So Allah starts of the surah with a
conclusion. And then Allah is going to mention how can me and
you get a high Eman that allow us to achieve that level of success.
So right after this ayah Allah subhanaw taala started listing the
qualities of the believers, he mentioned, you know, couple of
qualities that I want you to check out in sha Allah, Allah when you
go home. And then after chicken, these qualities, so bear with me,
he starts out by saying the conclusion believers are
successful. And here is some of the things that you need to know
about who the believer is, these are the qualities and right after
this, he gave us a solution he gave us that the mean that the
what's called the method to follow. So we can achieve that
level of Eman. You want to achieve that level of Eman. Here is the
list of things that we need to do. He said, first, you need to know
who Allah subhanaw taala is, by the way, sortimo muralism akin
Surah it was revealed in Mecca. And most of the sources that were
revealed in Mecca, speaks about Allah, the creation of Allah, the
beauty of the creation of Allah, the beauty of the universe, the
beauty of, you know, the creation of mankind, speaks about the
unseen world speaks about the Day of Judgment speaks about the
angels, it's all about a man. All of these sources are focused on
email, the McKenzie was the Macedonian tourists are focused
more into the rulings and rulings a fasting rule itself, you know,
has rulings of Salah all of that. So my cancers are so powerful, so
powerful. So Allah has sort of the Moon Moon,
again starts off the surah by saying what the conclusion
believers are successful. And here are the qualities and then he
spoke about the creation of mankind lie I did this exercise
with my students one time it was mind boggling. I told them go and
look for your ultrasound pictures.
Go and look for your own ultrasound pictures and bring it
up to me tomorrow. And we got these ultrasound pictures. And we
match it with the steps that Allah subhanaw taala has mentioned here
in certain moments and and how Allah created the baby in the
womb. And how are the steps the development of the steps and
Subhanallah you can match these pictures, just the baby want to
start like a little dot and then it grows and just match it with
the surah Wallah. It's mind boggling. We need to do this today
in sha Allah Tala when you go home, if you have if you still
have the pictures of the ultrasound of your children, bring
your child open up so little mommy noon, and show him and tell him
Allah has is mentioning here. The steps on how you developed in the
womb of your mother.
What else certainty attain you need, you know to prove the Quran
right? Subhanallah Subhanallah and then after this, Allah subhanaw
taala speaks about something even greater. Is there anything greater
than the creation of human being? Yes, the creation of God of the
universe of the sky of the earth of the entire universe recently,
you know, we've got to see this beautiful pictures of the
universe. Hala magnificent
picture of the universe that should remind us by Allah subhanaw
taala. how huge the universe is, just remind you by who Allah
subhanaw taala is. So here's what the moon, after Allah speaks about
the creation of mankind spoke about the creation of the universe
after this, spoke about two of the prophets, to have the prophets,
prophets know Hello Salam also speaks about how he was resilient
950 years given Dawa his his, his major motivation was this idea and
this aspect of faith. Remember this surah was revealed to the
Sahaba for Salah, Salah Salem only when they were very weak, scared,
you know, the DA was just in the baby steps. And they were they
needed that support that help to help them go through that
difficult time. So Allah is reminding them actually a reminder
for definitely for us as well. That Prophet knew, you know,
sacrificed way more than you. That's that's the message of Allah
subhanaw taala. And then he mentioned the story of Prophet
Musa alayhis salam, it's all in one Surah Surah three movie noon,
brothers and sisters, we need to check it out today in Shallowater,
Prophet Musa alayhis, Salam and the fitna that he went through,
and the difficulty the hardships facing Pharaoh and whatnot. It's a
journey of pain, journey of difficulties. And in an IRA bisa
de and he mentioned that like Allah is with me, I'm just I have
this tranquility because I know for a fact that my Eman will help
me go over all of these hardships and difficulties. And after this
towards the end of the surah beautiful surah. Again, Wallahi
highly recommend this for all of us just that translation is
sufficient inshallah for all of us towards the end of the surah Allah
subhanaw taala
speak strongly about one of the scenes that's going to occur on
the day of judgments. And I'll tell you that you know, it's a
little scary. The last last page is a little scary, because Allah
subhanaw taala speaks about one of the scenes that's going to happen.
He starts off from an Fabula Xenu for like a movie Haroon, those who
have heavy weight on their good deeds, they're going to be
successful. Omaha Faulkner was you know, for like Latina hospital and
for some fija Hannah Mahalia Dune, and those who don't have enough
good deeds and their skill, they will be permanently in hellfire.
And then he started describing how they will be, you know, how's
their status and the day and the hellfire? He said telfa who would
you have woman? Tell her who who now? We're Humphrey Hi Kelly. Who?
That the fire will slap their faces. Well, homecare will home
for you How can the home can hold such a heavy word that their faces
will be affected by the Hellfire to the point that they will look
ugly.
And I'm taking it to Clara Lake Consequently, I had to cut the
bone we reminded you by the eyes of Allah subhanaw taala and you
have denied all of the signs of Allah subhanaw taala you've seen
it. The Prophet Sierra was brought to you and you denied it. The
beauty of Islam was brought brought to you and you mark the
prophets, you mark the disbelievers today, you are going
to be permanently in hellfire. And then he said Paul would have been
Allah but Allah and Aisha Cortona Hakuna comando Lena Oh Allah we
weren't able to accept the truth and we were misguided
Robin Krishna Mina Oh ALLAH beautiful as here I mean strong is
very strong guys. Robin Krishna Mina Oh ALLAH just give us another
chance another opportunity for in for in Navali moon and if we go
back and we've turned back to our status our behavior of previous
behavior then in Navali moon then we will we will be among those who
committed and just students to themselves. Call set Ophelia wala
to Kalamoon told them like you know what, just stay permanently
hellfire and led to Kalamoon don't even pray anymore. This is not the
time for prayer. You got plenty of time on the on the on the dunya to
pray and to ask Allah subhanaw taala for forgiveness, and you did
not now you don't you don't get to talk led to call him now who can
afford your community bediako loan there are a small group of people
that maybe the thought that they're a minority
now can affect your community bediako loan Rebecca, Amanda
farfield. And our handle antihero I mean, they asked for forgiveness
and mercy. And today I'm going to give them that mercy and
forgiveness.
So again, overview about the surah starts off by the moment are
successful and then you
After this the quality of the believers and then mainly all
McCain sewers, creation of Allah subhanaw taala Creation of the
Universe creation of human beings. And then while the ultimate Pm is
some scenes of the day of judgment for me and you to soften our
hearts and to accept the truth, and to know that we're here in a
temporary life that we need to do our best for us to go to Allah
subhanaw taala on the Day of Judgment with the highest level of
Amen. So may Allah subhanaw taala. Grant us this high level of Eman
