Zakariyya Harnekar – Sacred Sanctuary Series 3 P2 discusses, Returning, before our Return

Is that better?

Can I just find a ticket that's better?

Okay.

And when hard adversity befalls mankind,

they call upon him whilst repenting to him.

Then when he causes them to taste a

mercy from him, behold,

a party of them ascribe partners to their

lord.

Liakfuru,

as a result of that,

they show ingratitude and they deny

what he has given them.

Fatamat Tahu Allah then says to them, Allah

actually changes his his mode of address here.

He was speaking about them firstly so that

they

show ingratitude,

for what he had given them. And then

he changes

his address. And he says, Fatima' Tahoe,

Allah commands them now he's addressing them in

the second person and he says so

enjoy yourselves.

Enjoy yourselves. Enjoy yourselves.

Enjoy yourselves for a little while.

Soon soon

you will know.

May Allah

let that address not be to us.

And then he asks a question.

Or

and Zalna,

did we reveal

upon them, meaning those people ascribe partners to

Allah? Did we reveal to them

some authority?

Did we give them some sanction?

And then that sanction speaks

of that which they used to ascribe partners

with

or that which they used to associate with

him.

Allah

asked me a question.

The fact that they turned to

the fact that they turned to,

in grat expressing gratitude to Allah and ascribing

partners to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Was that

sanctioned by Allah? Did Allah reveal that to

them?

Why Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has asked them

this is because the polytheist essentially did believe

in Allah.

They just ascribe partners to him there weren't

people who said that denied the existence of

Allah altogether

they did believe in Allah as the, the

supreme God but they ascribe partners to him

so Allah asked a question or did we

reveal to them some authority or sanction? Then

that sanction spoke of these things that the

ascribe partners

to him with.

Then Allah goes back to speaking of their

condition and He says

and when

again from that word but this is on

the 4th bar

and when we cause mankind to taste

a

mercy

what do they do?

Means to be happy but in this context

it doesn't mean they rejoice therein but almost

like they exalt they rejoice

to a point of arrogance

they rejoice therein.

But

if badness or evil

if it befalls them and afflicts them

for that which or on account of that

which

means to send forth

or to put forth

to

put forward

Allah says

if

evil befalls them on account of

what their own hands have put forward meaning

consequences of their own actions.

Allah says

depression. I'm speaking about a type of of

depression that stems from a loss of faith,

from meaninglessness,

from

one's connection with Allah

breaking.

So Allah mentioned 2 things. It's it's as

if there's a there's a level of repetition

there.

Allah says,

he first speaks about did we reveal sanction

for that thing? Tasting mercy and then being

or evil times.

The response of these people was in the

response of

in a moment be it

to the ingratitude shown in the first case

Allah denying that it came from him.

In the second case Allah asks a question

meaning did mankind not see Allah

It is for whoever he was.

And

I believe we have

Is that any better?

Okay.

We continue. So the

that the favor is from

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. In case, it was,

that they displayed.

Do they not?

That,

expands

the risk that

and he constrains it for whoever comes to

them. It comes to them from Allah.

I think there are signs.
