Yousef Bakeer – Reflecting on Surah Mu’minoon

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

Amin, Amin aerobill alameen Jessa, Kamala and on Santa Monica Monica
