00:00:01 --> 00:00:04
			Alhamdulillah salatu wasalamu ala rasoolillah Last night we
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			completed the 13th juz' in which we completed
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:13
			Surat Yusuf, Surat Ar-Ra'd, Surat Ibrahim and
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			I want to just focus on a couple
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:20
			of ayats in Surat Yusuf in which the
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			story of Yusuf a.s. is very long
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			obviously it's been described in the surah itself
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			as being Ahsanul Qasas the best of the
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			stories and that is because of the many
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			lessons that you can derive from this beautiful
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:38
			story and one of the lessons is found
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			in the verses which I want to talk
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:44
			about today and the story goes that Yaqub
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:48
			a.s. he sent his sons to find
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:52
			food and they found out about Aziz-e
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			-Misr, Yusuf a.s. who they didn't know
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			at the time, he is Yusuf a.s.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:01
			but they go to find food and he
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			stocks them up with food but before they
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:08
			actually go, the Prophet Yaqub a.s. tells
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:12
			his sons Ya Baniyya, la tadkhulu min baabin
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			wahidin, wa dkhulu min abwaabin mutafarriqan O my
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:19
			sons, don't enter into one door, but enter
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:24
			into different doors meaning when you enter into
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			the palace of Aziz-e-Misr you should
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			not be all going in as one group,
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:33
			as one party you know, one enter from
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			the right door, one from the left door
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
			enter separately and maybe join up later on
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			or something like this and the scholars say
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			that the reason that Yaqub a.s. told
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			them to do that was to prevent them
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			and protect them from the evil eye which
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			is known as Al Ain in Arabic obviously
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			these were the brothers of Yusuf a.s.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:59
			and the beauty of Yusuf a.s. is
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			mentioned in the surah and it's legendary, everybody
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:07
			knows how handsome he was and obviously these
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			were his brothers so they had to have
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:16
			some kind of looks and beauty associated with
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			that brotherhood of Yusuf a.s. just like
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:23
			Yusuf a.s. was handsome they probably had
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:27
			some portion of handsomeness and beauty that Yusuf
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			a.s. had, so he didn't Yaqub a
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			.s. didn't want everybody's eyes to fall on
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:37
			them immediately at one time thinking that these,
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:41
			wow, these beautiful handsome men where did they
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			come from so that's why he told them
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:46
			to enter into different doors now what is
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			this issue of Al Ain what is this
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			thing and what should we know about it
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:54
			now obviously this is not something physical it's
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			not something that you can do scientific tests
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			for at least in this day and age
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			you cannot do these kinds of tests for
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:05
			but what is sufficient for us to know
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			is that the Prophet a.s. he said
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:11
			about this thing that Al Ain is something
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:14
			which is true it is real and it
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:20
			happens there's very many stories about things, events
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			that happened in the life of the Prophet
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:26
			a.s. that showed that he basically after
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			they happened Prophet a.s. said that this
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			is a result of Al Ain one story
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34
			that comes to mind is while the Prophet
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			a.s. was travelling in a group one
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40
			particular camel was racing ahead of everybody else
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			and then on the way back that same
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:47
			camel became weak and could hardly move so
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:50
			the Prophet a.s. said about this camel
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53
			that he's been afflicted with the evil eye
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:56
			he said at that point the evil eye
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			is true there's another hadith of the Prophet
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:03
			a.s. that Al Ain yudkhilu rajula al
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			qabra wa yudkhilu al jamala al qidra or
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:10
			as he said a.s. that it enters
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			a man into the grave and it enters
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:16
			the camel into the cooking pot meaning that
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			the man it can even lead to a
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:22
			person's death and in the case of an
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:26
			animal that animal becomes so useless that he
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			has to be slaughtered and he has to
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:35
			be cooked so this is what is mentioned
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:38
			in the hadith there's another story of a
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:43
			sahabi named Sahal ibn Hunayf and he was
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			known for being very handsome and very light
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:49
			skinned it's mentioned that one day he took
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:52
			his clothes off to take a shower another
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:55
			sahabi he saw the lightness of his skin
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			and he remarked that I've never seen such
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:02
			beautiful skin as this immediately he fell into
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:06
			an epileptic fit and he went unconscious the
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			sahabi went to the Prophet and said Ya
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			Rasulallah this is what happened so the Prophet
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:14
			he said that did anybody say anything about
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:17
			him or his beauty and one sahabi stepped
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:20
			forward and he said that I said that
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23
			his skin is very beautiful so the Prophet
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:27
			made him make wudhu he made him make
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:31
			wudhu and the wudhu water that was taken
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:34
			from his wudhu it was poured on Sahal
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37
			ibn Hunayf and he became well immediately so
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			this is one of the cures for Al
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:42
			Ain that if you know that whose Ain
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:46
			afflicted you whose evil eye afflicted you then
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:50
			you would make the person make wudhu or
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			ghusl and you would take that water and
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:56
			pour it upon the person who was affected
		
00:05:56 --> 00:06:00
			and it will cure the person now like
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			I said there's no you cannot do any
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			scientific research over this but this is something
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			that the Prophet A.S. told us for
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:10
			what about preventative measures preventative measures the Prophet
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:15
			A.S. he used to make ruqya upon
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:19
			Hasan and Hussain he used to recite protective
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:23
			duas for them before the Muawwithain were revealed
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26
			Muawwithain refers to the last two surahs of
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:31
			the Quran and when the Muawwithain were revealed
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			Prophet A.S. used to recite those and
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:38
			blow them upon his grandsons and again this
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41
			is a practice that we should practice also
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:44
			ourselves after every Salat before going to sleep
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:50
			Ayatul Kursi and the two last surahs and
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:55
			especially after the Salats there are adhkar that
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:58
			the Prophet A.S. used to recite which
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:13
			were protective adhkar so
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			there are many adhkar reported from the Prophet
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:19
			A.S. that were of a preventative nature
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:22
			that protected a person from being afflicted by
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:26
			this and after being afflicted by this if
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			you know whose eye it was that affected
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:31
			the person then you would do like I
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			said you would take the wudu water of
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:36
			that person and pour that wudu water upon
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37
			the affected person if you don't know who
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:41
			it is then again ruqya, recitation of the
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			Quran Muawwithain etc.
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			and this will help the person get cured
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			from the evil eye now when we say
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50
			evil eye remember that this is not necessarily
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:55
			something that a person with evil intent does
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:58
			it remember that this is not something that
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			a person does it with evil intent a
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:03
			pious person a pious person who has no
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:08
			evil intent whatsoever he also has this power
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11
			within him and it varies from person to
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:15
			person he can have this power within him
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:18
			that he looks at something and there may
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:22
			be a little bit of envy involved and
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:26
			not attributing the beauty to Allah SWT involved
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:29
			and that results in the person being affected
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:33
			with the person's evil eye and again it
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			doesn't have to be because the person himself
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:40
			is bad but he has this power of
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:44
			Al Ain that affects other people now when
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			you see something beautiful there are two duas
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			that have been related in the hadith and
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			one of them was recited by Hafiz Usama
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:53
			in the Salat in the story mentioned in
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:56
			Suratul Kahf about two men one who had
		
00:08:56 --> 00:09:00
			beautiful gardens and full of orchards and fruits
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			and the rivers flowing by and he was
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:05
			very very arrogant because of that and he
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			arrogantly boasted to his neighbour next door who
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			didn't have that much he said that I
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			have this and this and this and his
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:19
			neighbour said that why don't you say why
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			don't you say that this is what you
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			should be saying for the blessings that Allah
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			SWT has blessed you with so this is
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:38
			one dua or simply and or and
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40
			things of that nature which attribute the barakah
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:43
			of Allah SWT in it and this is
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:46
			related from that same hadith which I mentioned
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:49
			about Sahl ibn Hanif the Prophet SAW when
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:53
			he heard that sahabi while he saw Sahl
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:56
			ibn Hanif bathing he had praised him and
		
00:09:56 --> 00:10:00
			complimented him he said you should while complimenting
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			somebody attribute, say the barakah of Allah meaning
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:12
			say bismillah so this is another thing that
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:15
			you can say always whenever praising and complimenting
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:18
			say mashallah for the barakah of Allah now
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22
			remember that this is, a'in is a
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:26
			sabab it is a sabab of something that
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:32
			Allah SWT has written already this is an
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:35
			easy way to understand it is that if
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:40
			you were to take something poisonous the result
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			of that would be most likely that you
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			die so the qadr that Allah SWT has
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:47
			written for you is death but the poison
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:50
			became the sabab for it so whatever Allah
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:53
			SWT has written Allah SWT has decreed that
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			will happen for sure but the only thing
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58
			we can do is take preventative measures and
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			make sure that from our end we don't
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:03
			take that poison or in the case of
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:06
			al'a'in we use protective measures by
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:10
			saying mashallah and you know protecting ourselves from
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:14
			by using various adhkar and this is why
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:17
			the verse actually goes on to say he
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:20
			says to his sons do not enter through
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:27
			one door that when Allah SWT wants to
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:30
			do something when he decrees something then I
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:33
			cannot do anything what I'm just telling you
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:38
			is just simply a preventative measure the real
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:41
			decision is up to Allah SWT but again
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:44
			that doesn't mean that I shouldn't take preventative
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:48
			measures only upon Allah SWT I put my
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:54
			trust I put my tawakkul and upon him
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:57
			the people of tawakkul put their tawakkul and
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:01
			trust in Allah SWT so the summary al
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			'a'in is true it is something that
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06
			is real and we should take preventative measures
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:09
			for it preventative measures are recitation of adhkar
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			and whenever we see something beautiful we say
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:17
			mashallah and afterwards if a person is afflicted
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:20
			also he should cure himself by reciting ruqya
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:23
			and the various adhkar that have been reported
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:26
			by the Prophet SAW I pray that Allah
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			SWT gives us sufi to understand and practice
		
00:12:28 --> 00:13:03
			what is being said and heard Al
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:06
			Fatiha
