00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			Alhamdulillah wa salatu wa salamu ala Rasulillah.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			Last night we completed Surah Taha and in
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			Surah Taha there is a story which I'd
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			like to talk about and in it we
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			learn the lesson of how it's very easy
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:27
			to slip up and fall into sins even
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:31
			as grave as shirk while being even in
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:35
			the presence of illustrious people like the Ambianim
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			wa Salatu wa Salam, the Prophets themselves.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			And this is something that we should learn
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:44
			a lesson from that we tend to have
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			a logic or we tend to try to
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:51
			work things out by ourselves to justify things
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			that we do sometimes and in doing so
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			when we don't have the right guidance we
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			tend to instead of doing the right thing
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			we either end up in doing a bid
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:05
			'ah or innovation or even go as far
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			as to commit shirk.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			So this story is the story of Samiri
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:13
			or As-Samiri, the person who misguided Bani
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			Israel while Musa Alayhi Salatu wa Salam was
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:16
			away.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			So the story is that Musa Alayhi Salatu
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:24
			wa Salam, this is after the Israelites escaped
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			from Fir'aun they were wandering around in
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:31
			the wilderness and in the course of doing
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			this Musa Alayhi Salatu wa Salam was instructed
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			to fast for 30 days then he added
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
			another 10 days and he had a meeting
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			scheduled with Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala and
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:45
			he went for that meeting in the meantime
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			behind him a person who the Quran calls
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:52
			As-Samiri and this probably was not his
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:57
			name the indication is that As-Samiri, the
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			Ya at the end is called Ya'ul
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			Mansub or Ya'ul Nisbah and this is
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:06
			like a person saying Pakistani, Hindi, okay so
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			he was from a place called As-Samir
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			or Samir he was from this place called
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			Samir, his real name Allah Subhana wa Ta
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			'ala only knows what it was there is
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:20
			a possibility that it was Haroon but why
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			that was Insha'Allah I will discuss that
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:25
			in a minute so this Samir what he
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:31
			did, he created for the Bani Israel a
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:34
			cow which made a noise, which made a
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:38
			sound and the Bani Israel they started worshipping
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:41
			that cow, they started worshipping that cow while
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			Musa Alayhi Salatu wa Salam was away this
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			is the story of how it came about
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			so I am going to do the translation
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			of those verses and as we go along
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:54
			Insha'Allah I will explain so I will
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:58
			start with the Ayah number 83 in which
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala says to Musa
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:05
			Alayhi Salatu wa Salam O Musa what made
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			you rush in front of your people?
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			so his people were left behind, Musa Alayhi
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			Salatu wa Salam in eagerness to meet Allah
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			Subhana wa Ta'ala and talk to him,
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			he is running forward and he meets Allah
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18
			Subhana wa Ta'ala so Musa Alayhi Salam
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:25
			said Musa Alayhi Salam said they are following
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			in my footsteps, they are coming up behind
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			and I rushed to you so that you
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			could be pleased O Allah Subhana wa Ta
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:39
			'ala Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala says indeed
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:43
			we tested your people after you and As
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:48
			-Samiri he has misguided them he has misguided
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			them, so Musa Alayhi Salatu wa Salam he
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:56
			returns back Musa Alayhi Salatu wa Salam returned
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			back to his people in the state of
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:01
			anger and in the state of sorrow, grief
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:07
			and he says to his people that didn't
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			your Lord Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala give
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:13
			you a good promise meaning that Allah Subhana
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			wa Ta'ala up until now he has
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:18
			been saving you he saved you from Firaun
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21
			and you saw how he destroyed Firaun's army
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			and everything that has happened since you started
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27
			following me has been in your favor and
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			now you turn around and do this completely
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:40
			against my teachings meaning that you saw with
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			your own eyes how Allah Subhana wa Ta
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			'ala destroyed Firaun a miracle, how the sea
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:49
			split and the army of Firaun was drowned
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:52
			there you saw with your own eyes the
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			miracles that I have been performing in front
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			of you and it's not even been a
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			long time, you saw this with your own
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:01
			eyes you know you could say that okay
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:04
			200 years later, 300 years later you forgot
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:07
			about my teachings but these things happened in
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			front of you and the time has not
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:12
			even been that long so how is it
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:15
			that you fell into this kind of misguidance
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			or was it simply that you wanted Allah
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			Subhana wa Ta'ala to be upset with
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			you and angry with you so therefore you
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			broke my promise or went against my promise
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:41
			and now this was the excuse that the
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44
			Bani Israel gave to Musa A.S. they
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47
			said that we did not go against your
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:51
			promise with our own accord but we were
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:55
			laden with the jewelry from the jewelry of
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			the people and we Qadhafna Hamini with the
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			jewelry of the people you threw it, you
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:02
			put it in one place and similarly Samiri
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			did the same thing the story behind this
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:08
			was that when the Israelites escaped from the
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			clutches of Firaun when they escaped from Egypt
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			they had taken with them all their jewelry
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			they brought it all and now they were
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			basically laden with it, it was heavy so
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			they decided that they are going to put
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			it in one place, melt it and then
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:24
			make gold and silver bars out of it
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			so it becomes easier for them to carry
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29
			it so similarly Samiri did the same thing,
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			he had his own jewelry put it and
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:41
			they melted it all and Samiri what he
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:44
			did, he instead of making the jewelry into
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47
			bars of gold and silver he shaped the
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:50
			jewelry into the shape of a cow and
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			this cow had a noise, it made a
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			noise so what was this noise?
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:58
			some scholars say that he and I will
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			cover that in a minute that there was
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04
			a sound that came from it that statue
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			actually made a sound and others say and
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:10
			this is the majority opinion that the holes
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:13
			in this statue were such that when the
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:16
			wind blew through it, it made a sound
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:19
			like the sound of a cow so the
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:24
			Israelites, they were fooled into thinking that it
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			has some kind of life and this was
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:31
			the only proof that they had that this
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:35
			is something worth worshipping that it made a
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:39
			sound and that's it, we should worship it
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			and when they heard this sound they said
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			this is your God and this is also
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:51
			Musa's God but Musa forgot Musa forgot that
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:55
			this is his God Allah says about this
		
00:07:55 --> 00:08:02
			thinking of theirs do they not see that
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			this statue cannot even respond back to them
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:10
			cannot talk to them and does not have
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:14
			control on any harm or benefit so the
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:17
			only logic that they had the only argument
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			that they could present was that it's making
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:23
			a sound therefore it's worth worshipping so the
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:27
			point that we can make is that sometimes
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30
			we will justify an action of ours with
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			a logic that we have in our mind
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:36
			but that logic is against the teachings of
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:39
			the Quran and the Sunnah we think that
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:40
			we have some logic behind it we have
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43
			a reasoning behind it but if you ask
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			a real knowledgeable person he will tell you,
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			no, this logic of yours is tainted this
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:54
			logic is wrong so then after that Allah
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:57
			SWT talks about Harun A.S Harun A
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:01
			.S, he tried to prevent them from doing
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			what they were doing and this is against
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:06
			the teachings of what the Bible says the
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:09
			Bible says that Harun actually encouraged them to
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:12
			make an altar for this cow and encouraged
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			them to try to worship that cow and
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			the scholars think that there is a possibility
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:21
			that Harun was the name of a Samiri
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:24
			and that Harun is what is meant in
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27
			the Bible however as a Prophet, Harun A
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:31
			.S could never dream of or could never
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:35
			imagine encouraging people to commit shirk this is
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:38
			not something that a Prophet let alone a
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:41
			good Muslim would do so Harun A.S
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:44
			prevented them from doing that Allah SWT says
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:51
			about him indeed Harun A.S said to
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:54
			them from before that oh my people, indeed
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			you have been tested by this this is
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			a test for you and to fall into
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:04
			the trap of the Shaitan and to start
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			worshipping this thing you are failing this test
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:15
			miserably your Lord is Ar-Rahman, he is
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:19
			Allah SWT so follow me and obey my
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:23
			command you should listen to me and what
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:23
			was their response?
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:31
			we are going to continuously make I'tikaf in
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:35
			front of this cow, meaning worship it until
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:39
			Musa A.S comes back it means to
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:43
			devote yourself to worship and the word I'tikaf
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			is from this the root letter is the
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			same so we are going to stay devoted
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			in worship to this cow until Musa A
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:53
			.S comes back now the next sentence it
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			talks about it is the saying of Musa
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58
			A.S and from this exchange between Musa
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			A.S and Harun we can learn a
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:27
			huge and a beautiful lesson also he
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:30
			said, oh my, oh the son of the
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			mother oh the son of my mother, meaning
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:33
			he is basically trying to get him to
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:36
			calm down hey listen, we are blood brothers
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:39
			here calm down, I didn't mean to do
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			anything wrong I didn't go against your command
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:48
			don't hold my beard nor my head this
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			could be literal or it could be figurative
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:53
			it could be an expression that don't basically
		
00:11:54 --> 00:12:03
			don't hold me accountable for this situation I
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			was under the impression, I was afraid that
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07
			you are going to say that you made
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:10
			a split between Bani Israel and you didn't
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			wait for me to come you didn't wait
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:16
			for my command so here we learn a
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			lesson Musa A.S is a prophet Harun
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			A.S is also a prophet both brothers
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:25
			both of them have an understanding that you
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:28
			should have done this Harun A.S says
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:30
			Musa A.S said, you should have done
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			this Harun said, well if I had done
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			that I was thinking that this would have
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:37
			happened and there would have been a split
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			amongst the group so I thought it's best
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			for me to stay here wait for you
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			to come back and then resolve the situation
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:46
			after you came back so the lesson we
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			learn is that when this can happen between
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:53
			two prophets a disagreement and you know, differences
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:57
			of opinion how could it not happen between
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:01
			two ordinary individuals so in community sometimes we
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:04
			have differences of opinion amongst people and differences
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:10
			of viewpoints and the underlying thing should always
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:13
			be that each and every community member or
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:17
			Shura member or leader of the community always
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:20
			has the objective of doing good for the
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:23
			community that should always be the bottom line
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:26
			and the reasoning behind every person serving the
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:30
			community in trying to pursue that goal or
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:33
			achieve that goal there will always be differences
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:38
			of opinion differences of viewpoint but the underlying
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:40
			factors should always be the pleasure of Allah
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:43
			S.W.T and when we have differences
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			of opinion this should not be the cause
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:49
			of argument and fighting between us Musa A
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			.S. and Haroon had a difference of opinion
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:53
			as to what should have been done and
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:56
			they were prophets they were prophets A.S.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:58
			did they want to please Allah S.W
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:00
			.T both of them did did they want
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			to disobey Allah S.W.T no they
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:05
			didn't how could they, they were prophets so
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:08
			similarly we learn from this that differences of
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:11
			opinion amongst people are not necessarily wrong and
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:14
			if there are differences of opinion we should
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:18
			try to work them out and understand that
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:21
			there always will be differences of viewpoint that
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:25
			we should try despite those differences to try
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:29
			to work with each other so then Musa
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:33
			A.S. turned to Samiri and he said
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:38
			to him what's your explanation of Samiri what
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			is this situation that you've got the people
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:52
			into so he said so
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:56
			the translation I'll explain it first and then
		
00:14:56 --> 00:15:00
			translate probably makes it easier that he said
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:04
			that I saw what other people could not
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:07
			see I saw the messenger and who is
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			the messenger here one opinion is that it's
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			Jibreel A.S. I saw Jibreel A.S.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			and I could see him and I could
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:18
			see where he could put his footsteps and
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:20
			where he put his footsteps I took the
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:23
			dust from that or the soil which was
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:26
			there and I put it inside the cow
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:29
			and this is the thing that made the
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:34
			noise come that's one opinion and another opinion
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:38
			is that he was trying to trying to
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:41
			as the saying is he was trying to
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:44
			butter up Musa A.S. and try to
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:46
			soften his stance by saying good things about
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:49
			him and the messenger here is referring to
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:52
			Musa A.S. that I followed the footsteps
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:55
			of the prophet Musa A.S. and I
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:58
			took from the dust from his footsteps and
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:01
			I put it into the statue of the
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:04
			cow and this is what made the sound
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:08
			now the Quran doesn't say that this is
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:12
			actually what made the sound come the Quran
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:15
			simply says that this was the explanation that
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:18
			Samiri gave to Musa A.S. and it
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:20
			doesn't say whether that was true or not
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:25
			simply the excuse that he presented so as
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:26
			a criminal, as a person who has done
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:29
			wrong he has a right to present his
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:32
			case he presented it and the Quran doesn't
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			say either way whether he was telling the
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:39
			truth or not so we can simply come
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			to the conclusion that there was no magic
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:44
			dust there was no magic soil simply the
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:48
			fact that the cow it had holes in
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:51
			strategic locations and the wind blew through them
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:54
			it was just making that sound so Musa
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:57
			A.S. told him Go!
		
00:16:59 --> 00:16:59
			Go!
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:03
			because in your life you are going to
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:06
			just tell people don't touch me, don't touch
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:10
			me so he was afflicted with a certain
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:13
			type of illness maybe leprosy in which he
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			used to tell people don't touch me, don't
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:18
			touch me either he became very sensitive to
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			the touch where somebody touched him and it
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:23
			hurt him or it was a contagious disease
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:27
			that he was afflicted with and nobody was
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:29
			allowed to get close to him because of
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:35
			that you have a promise or an appointment
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:38
			that will not be changed meaning you will
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			have a certain amount of time in your
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			life after that you are going to leave
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:45
			this world and then what was done to
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:55
			the statue this
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			statue of yours we are going to take
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			it and we are going to burn it
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:02
			and then the after effects of the statue
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
			being melted and burned we are going to
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			throw them into the sea and this is
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:09
			exactly what happened and then at the end
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:17
			indeed your God is not this statue it
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:20
			is Allah S.W.T there is no
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:24
			one worthy of worship except Him and His
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:29
			knowledge is vast over everything so basically the
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:32
			summary is that when it comes to the
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			Deen and the religion we need to make
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:37
			sure that we are taking the religion from
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39
			the right sources and we are not taking
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:41
			it from somebody that claims to be religious
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:45
			claims to be performing miracles claims to be
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:48
			a person who is in touch with jinns
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:52
			or whatever certain people claim our source of
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:57
			religion should be the righteous guided scholars the
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:00
			Quran and the Sunnah and people that follow
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			the Quran and the Sunnah as a proof
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:05
			in their lives other than that if we
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:08
			try to take other people or other sources
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			there is a very high chance that we
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:13
			might be misguided and we will use the
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:16
			simplest and the smallest of justifications to follow
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:19
			that misguided path just like the Israelites did
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			their proof was simply that the cow is
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:24
			making a sound therefore it is worthy of
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:28
			worship so these are the lessons we learned
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:29
			from this I pray that Allah S.W
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:32
			.T gives us sufiq to understand and practice
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:33
			what has been said in here
