00:00:01 --> 00:00:04

Last night we completed the 29th Juz.

00:00:05 --> 00:00:08

I just want to focus on some verses

00:00:08 --> 00:00:09

in Surah Al-Qalam.

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

Surah Al-Qalam was revealed at the very

00:00:12 --> 00:00:15

beginning of the Prophethood in which the Prophet

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18

ﷺ had started openly giving dawah to the

00:00:18 --> 00:00:21

people and in response to that dawah, the

00:00:21 --> 00:00:26

Prophet ﷺ was called Majnoon, Sahir and Kahin

00:00:26 --> 00:00:29

and so many different insults.

00:00:29 --> 00:00:33

And Allah ﷻ revealed this Surah to kind

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

of put him at ease that he was

00:00:35 --> 00:00:38

watching over everything and the fact that the

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

Quraysh were dealing with him so harshly, it

00:00:41 --> 00:00:45

was not unnoticed by Allah ﷻ and therefore

00:00:45 --> 00:00:48

he would be dealing with the perpetrators of

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

that crime in the future.

00:00:50 --> 00:00:54

So at the beginning, Allah ﷻ, He takes

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

an oath and I just want to touch

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

upon that briefly before I move on to

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01

the main subject, which is an example that

00:01:01 --> 00:01:04

Allah ﷻ gives of the people of Quraysh.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:07

First of all, Allah ﷻ takes an oath.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:11

He says, Noon walqalami wa ma yasturoon Noon

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13

is one of the huruf al-muqata'at

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

which we do not know the meaning of

00:01:15 --> 00:01:19

and Allah says, I swear by the pen

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

and what they are writing, meaning what the

00:01:21 --> 00:01:25

angels of Takbeer and Qadr are writing, Allah

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

ﷻ takes an oath by that and He

00:01:27 --> 00:01:30

says, Ma anta bi ni'mati rabbika bi majnoon

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

O Prophet of Allah, you are not, through

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

the mercy of Allah ﷻ, you are not

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

majnoon, you are not afflicted by a jinn,

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

you are not crazy and the fact that

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40

they are calling you that and they are

00:01:40 --> 00:01:43

saying that you are majnoon, this does not

00:01:43 --> 00:01:43

make it real.

00:01:44 --> 00:01:47

And then, Wa inna laka la ajran ghayra

00:01:47 --> 00:01:50

mamnoon And indeed for you, there is so

00:01:50 --> 00:01:53

much emphasis here, indeed for you, especially for

00:01:53 --> 00:01:56

you, la ajran, indeed again, laam is here

00:01:56 --> 00:02:01

for qasam, is a reward, ghayra mamnoon, ghayra

00:02:01 --> 00:02:06

mamnoon means an unlimited reward and mamnoon basically

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

means that favour which is counted.

00:02:09 --> 00:02:13

So, if you give somebody something and then

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

you keep on reminding him of that favour,

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

Allah ﷻ says, you are going to get

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19

a reward that nobody is going to count

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

that favour from you and nobody is going

00:02:21 --> 00:02:24

to remind you, meaning it's an unlimited reward

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

which is unaccountable.

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

Allah ﷻ is going to give you a

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

reward for the fact that you have to

00:02:29 --> 00:02:32

deal with these difficulties in the work of

00:02:32 --> 00:02:32

Prophethood.

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35

And then after that, Wa innaka la'la

00:02:35 --> 00:02:38

khuluqin azeem Indeed, O Prophet of Allah, you

00:02:38 --> 00:02:41

have the best of akhlaaq, you have the

00:02:41 --> 00:02:42

best of manners.

00:02:42 --> 00:02:46

And again, Wa innaka la And then, these

00:02:46 --> 00:02:47

are all words of emphasis.

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50

Inna, emphasis.

00:02:51 --> 00:02:52

Laam, emphasis.

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

And the dhameer right there, it's for emphasis.

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57

Indeed, you have the best of manners.

00:02:57 --> 00:02:59

So, if you look at the context in

00:02:59 --> 00:03:02

which the Prophet ﷺ is being told you

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04

have the best of manners, it is not

00:03:04 --> 00:03:07

the context in which people are dealing with

00:03:07 --> 00:03:10

him favourably and saying nice things about him

00:03:10 --> 00:03:13

and treating him like a king.

00:03:13 --> 00:03:16

He is being insulted, he is being persecuted,

00:03:16 --> 00:03:20

he is being called all types of different

00:03:20 --> 00:03:20

names.

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

And in the context of all of those

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25

insults and difficulties that he is going through,

00:03:26 --> 00:03:29

the Prophet ﷺ still displayed the best of

00:03:29 --> 00:03:29

manners.

00:03:30 --> 00:03:31

That is what true akhlaaq is.

00:03:31 --> 00:03:34

Otherwise, if everyone is good to me and

00:03:34 --> 00:03:35

everyone is dealing with me in a nice

00:03:35 --> 00:03:38

way, yes, I can have good akhlaaq and

00:03:38 --> 00:03:39

I can deal with them in a nice

00:03:39 --> 00:03:40

way.

00:03:40 --> 00:03:41

That's not difficult.

00:03:41 --> 00:03:44

The difficulty is when people are giving you

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46

a hard time and you are having a

00:03:46 --> 00:03:49

lot of difficulty with them and then on

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

top of that, you deal with them in

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

the best of ways.

00:03:52 --> 00:03:54

That is what good akhlaaq truly is.

00:03:55 --> 00:03:58

So, in the context in which the Prophet

00:03:58 --> 00:04:01

ﷺ was told that you have the best

00:04:01 --> 00:04:04

of manners, it was the context which we

00:04:04 --> 00:04:06

can see from the surrounding verses where he

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08

is being called majnoon and so on.

00:04:09 --> 00:04:13

So, Allah ﷻ says to him, O Prophet

00:04:13 --> 00:04:15

of Allah, you are going to see and

00:04:15 --> 00:04:16

they are going to also see.

00:04:18 --> 00:04:23

Which of you all are in a trial?

00:04:24 --> 00:04:28

Meaning, who is a majnoon, who is on

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31

the right path, who is misguided, you will

00:04:31 --> 00:04:34

find out in the future, in the hereafter,

00:04:34 --> 00:04:36

that will truly emerge.

00:04:36 --> 00:04:38

So, you will see that.

00:04:38 --> 00:04:39

So, O Prophet of Allah, be patient.

00:04:44 --> 00:04:47

Your Lord, He has more knowledge of those

00:04:47 --> 00:04:49

people that are misguided from His path and

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51

those people that are on the right path.

00:04:52 --> 00:04:54

After that, I'm going to skip and go

00:04:54 --> 00:04:57

on to an example that Allah ﷻ is

00:04:57 --> 00:04:57

giving.

00:04:58 --> 00:04:59

And I'm going to go through that example

00:04:59 --> 00:05:02

first and then we're going to compare it

00:05:02 --> 00:05:06

with the purpose of bringing those particular verses.

00:05:08 --> 00:05:15

Indeed, we have tested them, tested the Quraysh

00:05:15 --> 00:05:19

to whom the Prophet ﷺ was sent, just

00:05:19 --> 00:05:21

like we tested the people of the garden.

00:05:21 --> 00:05:24

So, it's the story of a people who

00:05:24 --> 00:05:26

have a garden that is ready for harvesting,

00:05:27 --> 00:05:29

the fruit is ready and they are about

00:05:29 --> 00:05:30

to get that fruit.

00:05:30 --> 00:05:33

So, Allah ﷻ is saying, we are testing

00:05:33 --> 00:05:36

the Quraysh just like we tested the people

00:05:36 --> 00:05:36

of the garden.

00:05:39 --> 00:05:42

When they took an oath that most certainly

00:05:42 --> 00:05:44

they're going to harvest it in the morning.

00:05:45 --> 00:05:47

So, the fruit is ready for picking, they're

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

ready to harvest the fruit or the crop

00:05:49 --> 00:05:51

and they are taking an oath.

00:05:52 --> 00:05:53

They are saying that, Wallahi, we're going to

00:05:53 --> 00:05:55

go in the morning and we're going to

00:05:55 --> 00:05:56

harvest the fruit.

00:05:56 --> 00:05:58

This year we've had a very good crop.

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00

This year we've had a very good harvest.

00:06:00 --> 00:06:02

We're going to take it tomorrow.

00:06:04 --> 00:06:06

And they didn't make any type of exception.

00:06:07 --> 00:06:09

What does that mean, taking an exception?

00:06:09 --> 00:06:12

It means that they did not set aside

00:06:12 --> 00:06:15

a share for the poor people.

00:06:16 --> 00:06:17

They didn't set aside a share for the

00:06:17 --> 00:06:20

poor people and they said basically everything is

00:06:20 --> 00:06:22

ours and nobody is deserving of this.

00:06:22 --> 00:06:25

We put our back into this harvest.

00:06:25 --> 00:06:28

We made a huge effort and now we

00:06:28 --> 00:06:30

are the ones that deserve it.

00:06:30 --> 00:06:31

Nobody else is going to deserve it, no

00:06:31 --> 00:06:32

poor person or anything.

00:06:34 --> 00:06:35

So, what happened?

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38

They took an oath that in the morning

00:06:38 --> 00:06:39

they're going to harvest it.

00:06:39 --> 00:06:40

Overnight something happened.

00:06:46 --> 00:06:47

Something came overnight.

00:06:48 --> 00:06:50

A punishment from Allah ﷻ came overnight.

00:06:51 --> 00:06:53

Ta'if basically means, from the word Tawaf,

00:06:53 --> 00:06:53

right?

00:06:53 --> 00:06:57

Tawaf, it means to circulate, circumambulate.

00:06:58 --> 00:07:00

So, this punishment of Allah ﷻ in whatever

00:07:00 --> 00:07:03

form it was, whether it's a fire or

00:07:03 --> 00:07:05

a tornado or a hurricane, whatever it was,

00:07:05 --> 00:07:06

it destroyed everything.

00:07:07 --> 00:07:09

While they were sleeping.

00:07:12 --> 00:07:16

And this whole harvest became like chewed up

00:07:16 --> 00:07:18

or harvested crop.

00:07:18 --> 00:07:23

Sareem, according to Ibn Abbas, means like a

00:07:23 --> 00:07:24

black night.

00:07:25 --> 00:07:28

Everything became darkened and charred and destroyed.

00:07:28 --> 00:07:31

And according to the majority of the scholars,

00:07:32 --> 00:07:34

As-Sareem means that harvest that has already

00:07:34 --> 00:07:35

been chopped down.

00:07:35 --> 00:07:38

So, you see a harvest one day and

00:07:38 --> 00:07:40

the next day the farmer, he chops it

00:07:40 --> 00:07:42

down and he takes all the crop.

00:07:42 --> 00:07:45

So, what remains of it, that is As

00:07:45 --> 00:07:45

-Sareem.

00:07:45 --> 00:07:48

So, it became as if it's already been

00:07:48 --> 00:07:48

harvested.

00:07:50 --> 00:07:52

And now they don't know that's happened.

00:07:52 --> 00:07:54

So, they wake up in the morning and

00:07:54 --> 00:07:55

they're calling each other.

00:07:56 --> 00:07:58

They are calling each other in the morning.

00:08:02 --> 00:08:08

Let's hurry and go early to the fields

00:08:08 --> 00:08:10

so we can do the harvesting.

00:08:10 --> 00:08:13

If you want to do the harvesting, let's

00:08:13 --> 00:08:16

hurry to the fields if you're going to

00:08:16 --> 00:08:16

do it.

00:08:19 --> 00:08:24

And they walked while they were doing Takhafud.

00:08:24 --> 00:08:27

Takhafud means talking slowly and quietly.

00:08:27 --> 00:08:28

Why?

00:08:28 --> 00:08:33

The next ayah says, And they were talking

00:08:33 --> 00:08:35

slowly and quietly so that the Masakeen and

00:08:35 --> 00:08:38

the poor people don't realize that they're going

00:08:38 --> 00:08:40

for the harvesting and they don't come and

00:08:40 --> 00:08:41

ask for their share.

00:08:44 --> 00:08:48

That today, no Maskeen should enter upon this

00:08:48 --> 00:08:50

harvest because we want everything for ourselves.

00:08:53 --> 00:09:00

And they came to Hard, basically means with

00:09:00 --> 00:09:03

a strong resolve, with a strong intention.

00:09:03 --> 00:09:06

They came fully equipped with a good intention,

00:09:07 --> 00:09:09

a full intention that they're going to do

00:09:09 --> 00:09:12

the harvesting today and they're going to keep

00:09:12 --> 00:09:13

it all to themselves.

00:09:19 --> 00:09:22

And when they saw it, they said, Looks

00:09:22 --> 00:09:23

like we lost the way.

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25

This isn't our harvest.

00:09:25 --> 00:09:27

This isn't our field.

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29

We probably took a wrong turn somewhere.

00:09:30 --> 00:09:34

And they said, And then they realized, no,

00:09:34 --> 00:09:36

it is their field.

00:09:37 --> 00:09:41

In fact, we are, we have been deprived.

00:09:42 --> 00:09:46

So this is actually what happens when a

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

person is faced with a tragedy or difficulty.

00:09:49 --> 00:09:50

The first thing that happens is there's denial.

00:09:52 --> 00:09:56

There's a psychological, you know, steps, psychological steps

00:09:56 --> 00:09:58

that take place when a person is faced

00:09:58 --> 00:10:00

with a difficulty or grief or a tragedy.

00:10:00 --> 00:10:04

Somebody, a doctor tells him, you have a

00:10:04 --> 00:10:05

very bad illness.

00:10:06 --> 00:10:08

So the person initially, he will say, no,

00:10:08 --> 00:10:09

the test must be wrong.

00:10:10 --> 00:10:11

I'm going to get a second opinion.

00:10:11 --> 00:10:13

Denial always there.

00:10:13 --> 00:10:14

So this is what happened.

00:10:14 --> 00:10:16

The first thing they said, this isn't our

00:10:16 --> 00:10:17

field.

00:10:17 --> 00:10:19

They denied that it was their field.

00:10:19 --> 00:10:20

The denial took place.

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22

And then when the reality sets in, then

00:10:22 --> 00:10:24

the person starts to actually believe it.

00:10:24 --> 00:10:29

And he says, and the next Ayah, The

00:10:29 --> 00:10:31

reality is, yes, I have got that illness.

00:10:32 --> 00:10:33

I've taken that second opinion.

00:10:33 --> 00:10:34

I have got that illness.

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37

And they realized that it is the field

00:10:37 --> 00:10:38

that they have.

00:10:44 --> 00:10:47

The middle from amongst them, and Awsat, according

00:10:47 --> 00:10:50

to the scholars, it refers to, the best

00:10:50 --> 00:10:53

among them, the most just amongst them, said

00:10:53 --> 00:10:57

to them, Didn't I tell you, why don't

00:10:57 --> 00:10:59

you make the tasbih of Allah subhanahu wa

00:10:59 --> 00:10:59

ta'ala?

00:11:00 --> 00:11:03

And the tasbih here refers to the issue

00:11:03 --> 00:11:03

of giving in charity.

00:11:04 --> 00:11:06

Because glorification of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,

00:11:06 --> 00:11:08

it comes in many forms.

00:11:08 --> 00:11:09

And one of them is giving in charity.

00:11:10 --> 00:11:13

It doesn't necessarily mean to make the tasbih

00:11:13 --> 00:11:13

itself.

00:11:14 --> 00:11:15

In the context in which the word is

00:11:15 --> 00:11:17

being used, it means to give in charity.

00:11:18 --> 00:11:20

Didn't I tell you to give in charity?

00:11:25 --> 00:11:28

And they realized that our Lord is pure

00:11:28 --> 00:11:30

and we were the wrongdoers.

00:11:32 --> 00:11:35

And they turned to each other and started

00:11:35 --> 00:11:37

blaming each other also.

00:11:37 --> 00:11:38

So this also happens.

00:11:39 --> 00:11:41

When people get into trouble, one of the

00:11:41 --> 00:11:43

things that they do is they start blaming

00:11:43 --> 00:11:46

each other and they don't take responsibility for

00:11:46 --> 00:11:46

their own actions.

00:11:50 --> 00:11:53

They started saying that indeed we were transgressors.

00:11:58 --> 00:12:00

Maybe Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is going

00:12:00 --> 00:12:02

to replace it with something better than that.

00:12:02 --> 00:12:04

We should now turn to Allah subhanahu wa

00:12:04 --> 00:12:05

ta'ala.

00:12:05 --> 00:12:08

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, This is

00:12:08 --> 00:12:09

how the punishment comes.

00:12:11 --> 00:12:15

And the punishment of the hereafter is greater

00:12:15 --> 00:12:17

if only they knew.

00:12:18 --> 00:12:20

So what does this mean?

00:12:20 --> 00:12:22

That the punishments that we get in this

00:12:22 --> 00:12:23

world or the tests that we get in

00:12:23 --> 00:12:26

this world, these are minor in comparison to

00:12:26 --> 00:12:28

the tests that we will get in the

00:12:28 --> 00:12:28

hereafter.

00:12:34 --> 00:12:37

We will certainly make the people taste the

00:12:37 --> 00:12:39

smaller punishments in this world.

00:12:40 --> 00:12:44

Affliction with illness, you know, difficulties in the

00:12:44 --> 00:12:48

marriage, difficulty with the children, problems with the

00:12:48 --> 00:12:49

business, financial difficulties.

00:12:50 --> 00:12:54

This is the small test that Allah subhanahu

00:12:54 --> 00:12:55

wa ta'ala sends sometimes.

00:12:55 --> 00:12:58

But the main punishment is in the hereafter.

00:12:58 --> 00:13:01

So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala keeps us

00:13:01 --> 00:13:03

on the straight path by giving us these

00:13:03 --> 00:13:06

small doses so that we keep on turning

00:13:06 --> 00:13:06

to him.

00:13:07 --> 00:13:09

So here Allah says that the punishment of

00:13:09 --> 00:13:12

the hereafter is greater if only they knew.

00:13:13 --> 00:13:15

So what is this story about?

00:13:15 --> 00:13:16

And what is it meaning?

00:13:17 --> 00:13:19

What does it mean in the context in

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala brings these

00:13:21 --> 00:13:21

verses?

00:13:21 --> 00:13:23

The Quraysh, they are insulting the Prophet.

00:13:24 --> 00:13:25

They are not taking the message from him.

00:13:25 --> 00:13:30

So what it means is that Allah subhanahu

00:13:30 --> 00:13:31

wa ta'ala, he is giving the example

00:13:31 --> 00:13:35

of a good village that is getting so

00:13:35 --> 00:13:37

many different types of benefits from Allah subhanahu

00:13:37 --> 00:13:40

wa ta'ala in terms of harvesting, fruit,

00:13:40 --> 00:13:41

crops, and so on.

00:13:42 --> 00:13:45

And this village, it's referring to Makkah al

00:13:45 --> 00:13:45

-Mukarramah.

00:13:46 --> 00:13:48

And the people of Makkah, they are getting

00:13:48 --> 00:13:50

all types of fruits because of the fact

00:13:50 --> 00:13:51

that the Ka'bah is there.

00:13:51 --> 00:13:54

People are coming, they are migrating, they are

00:13:54 --> 00:13:56

coming to do the pilgrimage.

00:13:56 --> 00:13:59

So a huge economy is based upon people

00:13:59 --> 00:14:01

coming to Makkah al-Mukarramah.

00:14:02 --> 00:14:04

In addition to that, people from north and

00:14:04 --> 00:14:07

south are respecting the people of Makkah because

00:14:07 --> 00:14:10

the Ka'bah, the Baytullah is there.

00:14:10 --> 00:14:13

And they get privileges for that reason.

00:14:13 --> 00:14:18

So when they go to the north in

00:14:18 --> 00:14:20

the summertime, they do trade in Jerusalem and

00:14:20 --> 00:14:21

Bilad al-Sham.

00:14:21 --> 00:14:23

And in the wintertime, they go to Yemen

00:14:23 --> 00:14:25

to the south and they do trade over

00:14:25 --> 00:14:26

there.

00:14:26 --> 00:14:28

And everything is beautiful.

00:14:28 --> 00:14:29

Business is booming.

00:14:30 --> 00:14:31

They are getting so much profit.

00:14:31 --> 00:14:34

And then one prophet comes to them.

00:14:35 --> 00:14:37

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentioned here,

00:14:37 --> 00:14:38

Awsatuhum.

00:14:38 --> 00:14:39

Who is the Awsatuhum?

00:14:39 --> 00:14:42

The Prophet ﷺ comes to them and tells

00:14:42 --> 00:14:44

them that Allah has blessed you with so

00:14:44 --> 00:14:44

much.

00:14:44 --> 00:14:46

Why don't you worship only Him?

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

Why don't you worship only Him?

00:14:49 --> 00:14:50

But they don't listen to Him.

00:14:51 --> 00:14:52

They don't listen to His message.

00:14:53 --> 00:14:56

And Allah is saying that there is a

00:14:56 --> 00:15:00

big possibility that these people that do not

00:15:00 --> 00:15:02

accept the message that is given to them,

00:15:02 --> 00:15:05

they would be deprived of the blessings that

00:15:05 --> 00:15:05

they have.

00:15:06 --> 00:15:08

And a punishment comes to them in this

00:15:08 --> 00:15:08

world.

00:15:09 --> 00:15:11

So this is the message that Allah subhanahu

00:15:11 --> 00:15:13

wa ta'ala is giving to the people

00:15:13 --> 00:15:13

of Quraysh.

00:15:14 --> 00:15:17

That don't be like these people, this example

00:15:17 --> 00:15:18

that is being given to you.

00:15:18 --> 00:15:20

It is for you to wake up and

00:15:20 --> 00:15:22

realize how many blessings you've been given.

00:15:23 --> 00:15:24

You should listen to the Prophet that has

00:15:24 --> 00:15:24

come.

00:15:25 --> 00:15:27

Otherwise, there is a high possibility that Allah

00:15:27 --> 00:15:28

subhanahu wa ta'ala could punish you.

00:15:29 --> 00:15:31

So the same thing actually applies to us.

00:15:31 --> 00:15:33

If we take it away from the context

00:15:33 --> 00:15:35

in which it was revealed and we take

00:15:35 --> 00:15:39

it upon ourselves, Allah has blessed us with

00:15:39 --> 00:15:39

so much.

00:15:40 --> 00:15:42

And the only thing that Allah wants from

00:15:42 --> 00:15:44

us is that we lead our life in

00:15:44 --> 00:15:45

His obedience.

00:15:45 --> 00:15:47

Stay away from His disobedience.

00:15:47 --> 00:15:49

And to lead our life in a way

00:15:49 --> 00:15:50

that pleases Him.

00:15:51 --> 00:15:55

And sometimes if we do not, then Allah

00:15:55 --> 00:15:57

subhanahu wa ta'ala can send down these

00:15:57 --> 00:15:58

calamities and tests.

00:15:58 --> 00:16:02

So that first of all, we wake up.

00:16:02 --> 00:16:05

And secondly, so that our sins are forgiven

00:16:05 --> 00:16:06

in this world.

00:16:06 --> 00:16:08

So we don't have, you know, the punishment

00:16:08 --> 00:16:09

of the hereafter.

00:16:11 --> 00:16:13

So, if Allah has blessed us with these

00:16:13 --> 00:16:15

blessings, first of all, we need to use

00:16:15 --> 00:16:17

those blessings to please Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:16:17 --> 00:16:17

'ala.

00:16:18 --> 00:16:19

And in His obedience.

00:16:19 --> 00:16:21

And also, keep a share for the poor

00:16:21 --> 00:16:22

and the needy.

00:16:22 --> 00:16:23

And don't be stingy with them.

00:16:24 --> 00:16:26

And this is basically the lesson that we

00:16:26 --> 00:16:28

learn from these verses that Allah subhanahu wa

00:16:28 --> 00:16:30

ta'ala has told us in Surah Al

00:16:30 --> 00:16:31

-Qalam.

00:16:31 --> 00:16:32

I pray that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:16:32 --> 00:16:34

gives us sufiq to understand and practice what

00:16:34 --> 00:16:35

is being said in it.
