1 00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:12,519 Biss Miler rahmani Rahi in the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the 2 00:00:12,599 --> 00:00:31,440 most merciful. Heard a lot below heard Part Excellence presents lessens from the stories 3 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:48,359 of the prophets by Mufti Ismail even Mussa menk adam ah Salam on Earth. 4 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:57,759 Part two Adam Peace be upon him on Earth. Part two about a cat 5 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:06,640 Smilah Rahman Rahim a hand Alamin was Salah to Salam muhala Mabrahmed lila Alamin be 6 00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:11,519 in a Muhammad ua alah ali he was haby here jamahina abad. All praise 7 00:01:11,599 --> 00:01:15,359 is due to a lass Subhana hua ta Alah. Blessings and salutations upon Muhammad 8 00:01:15,359 --> 00:01:19,400 salaalahu ala he was seldom We ask alas subhanahua ta Alah to bless him and 9 00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:22,799 all his companions, to bless every single one of us. To bless our 10 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,599 offspring those to come up to the day of Kayama. May alas subanah huata 11 00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:30,280 Alah, keep them all steadfast on this dean, and may alas subanah huat 12 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,319 Alah, keep us as well steadfast on the Dean. This evening, as 13 00:01:34,359 --> 00:01:41,000 we were reading these Salah, the tarawih a thought came to my mind, 14 00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:46,319 and that is a haditha of the prophets Allallahu Allah. He was seldom narrated 15 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:51,120 by aha Aha. She says that she used to watch the prophets a Lallah 16 00:01:51,239 --> 00:01:56,719 Ali. He was Seldam reads Salah at night so often most of the night, 17 00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:01,640 almost all of the night, to the degree that his feet became swollen. 18 00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:07,239 And she asked him a question. She says, Oh, messenger of 19 00:02:07,239 --> 00:02:12,800 Allah, so la lah alih, he was alone. Allah has kept you 20 00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:16,639 free from sin, and Allah has forgiven you, in fact, anything to 21 00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:21,400 come in anything that was there is nothing. You have such a high rank. 22 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,639 You are so high, you know your rank. So why is it 23 00:02:24,719 --> 00:02:30,479 that you are spending so much time in Salah that your feet are actually swollen? 24 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:37,479 And he answered so beautifully. And I think we should all be thinking 25 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,919 of it, because none of our feet are swollen right now. Yet we 26 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,159 find it so difficult to stand for one hour. Sometimes make it easy for 27 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,199 us. And ma alasu hannah awat Alah, grant us a lesson from the 28 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:54,000 answer of this most beloved creature of alasubnah awat Alah. He says, alf 29 00:02:54,039 --> 00:03:01,280 Ala Akuna abden Shakura should I not be a slave who is grateful, who 30 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:07,919 is thankful to his creator for the status that he was granted subhanah lah. 31 00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:12,919 So with him he had the status, he knew it. He had this 32 00:03:13,039 --> 00:03:16,000 link with a las subanah hamatalah, and he wanted to please Allah even more. 33 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,479 So that's what made him happy. It made him happy when he could 34 00:03:20,479 --> 00:03:25,759 stand and his legs were swollen because of standing for his own creator. I 35 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,840 want to ask a question, and a serious question. What makes us happy. 36 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,840 Let's be frank, Let's be honest. If you struck a good deal 37 00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:38,840 and today business was brisk, we become happy. If we're feeling healthy and 38 00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:43,719 our sickness is gone, we become happy. If we've just purchased clothing that 39 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,159 fits us nicely and it looks good, we become excited. This is what 40 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,439 makes us happy. If, for example, we've purchased a new vehicle and 41 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,759 it's sitting there in the front, be happy, mash allah. If for 42 00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,439 example, we've won a ticket to Hawaii or Honolulu for holiday, we're excited, 43 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,719 were happy. Let's be honest, this is what makes us happy. 44 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:10,280 If our salaries have increased and our hours have decreased, we become happy. 45 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,600 Yes, Now, let's take a look at the lesson that we have from 46 00:04:15,639 --> 00:04:19,480 this blessed Hadith of the prophets or allaho addeh he was seldom. Yes, 47 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,920 it is natural to be happy at what I've just mentioned, but that happiness 48 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000 is momentary. It is just for a moment. It is not supposed to 49 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,560 be prolonged happiness. The true excitement must be when your legs start painting and 50 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,079 you standing and you say, yea Allah, this is for you, loh 51 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,399 akhabar, yeah Allah. If it was not for you, I would not 52 00:04:39,519 --> 00:04:44,639 even have dressed appropriately akabar. So when you are dressed appropriately, covering properly 53 00:04:44,879 --> 00:04:47,040 and people are laughing at you and calling you names, you need to say 54 00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:49,959 ya Allah. This is what makes me so happy, because I know you 55 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:56,240 writing next to my name rewards that will grant me entry into Jenna and alas 56 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:03,839 is in ladina a joramo can a lavina a man your bako. The criminals 57 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:09,079 used to laugh at the believers in this world. The criminals used to laugh 58 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,639 at the believers. If you are dressed as a Muslim woman, one of 59 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,000 the ways of telling that you are dressed properly is sometime in your life someone 60 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,560 will pass a negative comment, or someone will laugh at you, or someone 61 00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:27,079 will say something discouraging. Then you know you've dressed properly subhana lah, because 62 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,360 that's a lot of Subhanahuatlah's plan. And I'm talking here of when you are 63 00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:34,519 living in a non Muslim country, and sometimes even from amongst our own family 64 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,120 members, they discourage us. Know you're too young to cover your hair. 65 00:05:39,399 --> 00:05:42,079 Don't cover it now, wait until you grow. How are you gonna get 66 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,639 married. They're not going to see what the head and shoulders look like in 67 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,639 your hair. La hu akbar Alla say, if Goddess, this is the 68 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,720 mentality that people have, yet we don't understand. When we cover it for 69 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,079 the sake of Allah, it must make us happy. Imagine, on one 70 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,959 hand, we got the example of the swollen legs. What is that example 71 00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:05,040 compare to just covering properly? Love akabar, may Allah use us really in 72 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:10,160 his course, and may alasu hanah, howat Alah accept us this evening to 73 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:15,480 make her resolution that we will dress appropriately come what may, and may Allah 74 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,560 make us from those who can make a resolution this evening that come what may, 75 00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:21,480 we will fulfill our five Salah for the sake of a loss of Hannah 76 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,959 howat Ala, it is not worth leaving it out. I was thinking moments 77 00:06:25,959 --> 00:06:30,319 ago as I was getting up that for myself it has rekindled the link with 78 00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:33,800 a lass of Hannah Howatala. To make mention of how everything began and the 79 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,959 creation of Adam alahis Salam and the stories of the prophets, not to say 80 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,399 there was no link, but we rekindle the link, and we want to 81 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,319 keep that fire going. We want to keep that light going. I wonder 82 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,959 if it is the same for all of us that we have this link. 83 00:06:49,079 --> 00:06:53,879 We feel that really we are going to return to Alas subhanah Howatala this evening 84 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,759 in shallah, we will be completing the story of Adam Alahi sala to a 85 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,680 Salam with a few details in shallah, and thereafter we will continue tomorrow with 86 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:08,279 the stories of the other prophets of Alas Suphana Hawatala. To start with this 87 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,759 koran, we need to understand, as I had made mention of at the 88 00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:16,079 end of yesterday's talk, that Alas Suhana Hawatala says we will send for you 89 00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:21,680 reminders, and whosoever turns away from the reminders they will be resurrected blind. 90 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,079 If you recall we made mention of it, and we read the verse which 91 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,920 happens to be in Surataha, and thereafter there is a point that needs to 92 00:07:30,959 --> 00:07:35,600 be highlighted. What did the Kufar of Korash used to say at the time 93 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,639 of the prophets Allaho allai he was seldam when the Koran was being revealed. 94 00:07:40,959 --> 00:07:46,680 They knew that anybody who listens to this Koran, they are automatically inclined towards 95 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,480 it. One is to look at the face of Muhammad Salahu alaia was Alam 96 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,399 is already a turning point. You need a little bit of sincerity and you're 97 00:07:54,439 --> 00:07:57,920 turned. And after that, to listen to the words of the Qur'an, 98 00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:01,680 it melts you. Today, there were so many verses that were read, 99 00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:05,360 and I was thinking to myself, I wish I could pause to translate some 100 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:11,759 of those verses. One of them, Alas of hannahuata Alah says ashah you 101 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:22,000 hebacum nasu why tb alfari oh man. If Allah wills, he can delete 102 00:08:22,079 --> 00:08:26,240 you and replace you with others. If Allah ones, he can wipe you 103 00:08:26,399 --> 00:08:30,079 out and bring others in. Another place in the Korannallas says the same thing 104 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,360 that if you are not going to worship Allah, if you want to turn 105 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,200 away from Allah's worship, he does not need you, Oh man, He 106 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,879 can actually delete you. You know how powerful is that word delete? Imagine 107 00:08:41,879 --> 00:08:43,919 if someone had to tell you I'm going to delete you, can you look 108 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,919 at them and say what? You probably take your gun out for them. 109 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:52,519 In this country alasubanahuata Alah say gods and yeah, Allah is saying he's explaining 110 00:08:52,639 --> 00:08:58,879 how independent he is and how dependent we are. He says, if you, 111 00:08:58,159 --> 00:09:01,320 if you, if I so will, I can actually delete you and 112 00:09:01,399 --> 00:09:05,960 I can bring others. May Allah never do that to us. So that's 113 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,639 a powerful verse. Another verse that we mentioned this evening. And sometimes in 114 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:16,399 order to please people and to seek status, we please people in the displeasure 115 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:22,080 of Allah. Supanahat Allah, and Allah says ayabatahuna dahom. Do they want 116 00:09:22,159 --> 00:09:28,399 to seek that status with those people there in the displeasure of Allah? Let 117 00:09:28,519 --> 00:09:35,600 them know? For Inlizeta Lilla jami Ah, it is Allah alone who who 118 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,200 owns the dignity and the status. If Allah wants he can raise you, 119 00:09:39,279 --> 00:09:43,320 and if he wants, he can drop you. There is no point in 120 00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:46,840 pleasing people in the displeasure of Allah subhanahu at Allah. Rather, if the 121 00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:52,039 people are displeased while wife Allah is pleased, then alhamdulla, we are heading 122 00:09:52,039 --> 00:09:56,919 in the right direction. So the Qur'an, I'd like to make mention of 123 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:01,000 a very interesting story. At the time of rasululas Allah, the Kufar of 124 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,799 Korat sent one of the most eloquent from amongst them out and Arabia to the 125 00:10:05,879 --> 00:10:07,559 prophets of Allah. Was seldom in order to try and tell him that, 126 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,159 you know, you better stop doing what you're doing. This was in the 127 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,720 initial stages. And we don't want you to swear our idols. We want 128 00:10:13,759 --> 00:10:16,840 you, you know, to take what you want from us, but stop 129 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,480 preaching all this that you are preaching about one God and one Creator and supreme 130 00:10:22,519 --> 00:10:26,080 Maker. Why did they decide this? Because they were materialistic people. For 131 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:31,240 them, what made them happy when they had power, They were elected as 132 00:10:31,399 --> 00:10:33,759 chairman, they were elected as someone big. They became happy. That was 133 00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:39,159 the height of their life. And I normally say when someone has got to 134 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,440 a peak and they tell me I've got to a peak, I said, 135 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,000 does that mean, you can die now you've achieved what you wanted to from 136 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:50,559 life with us. No, the peak will only come when Allah decides we 137 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,639 for us as Musliman, we should be happy when we are obeying the commands 138 00:10:54,639 --> 00:10:58,399 of Alla Subannah at Adah. So these kofar, they decided, let's go 139 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,759 and make him some offer except one of the offers. So they made him 140 00:11:01,759 --> 00:11:03,919 a few offers. The one went to him and he says, and he 141 00:11:03,039 --> 00:11:07,000 was an eloquent man, and he says, Oh, Muhammad saladah Islam, 142 00:11:07,919 --> 00:11:11,120 we want you to leave what you are saying. If you want, we 143 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,200 can get you married to the most beautiful of women. If women is what 144 00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:18,279 you're looking for, look at how they're thinking. If wealth is what you're 145 00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:20,399 looking for, we make you the wealthiest. If power is what you're looking 146 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,360 for, you can be our king and our leader. What is it that 147 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,360 you want, We will dish it out to you now. But stop saying 148 00:11:26,399 --> 00:11:30,840 what you are saying. And Muhammed saralaalah a Islam said the famous saying, 149 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,960 walah he if you are to put the sun in my right hand and the 150 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,000 moon in my left, and then you are to ask me to stop what 151 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,440 I'm saying, I'll never stop it. What that means is give me what 152 00:11:41,639 --> 00:11:43,919 you want, give me that which is impossible. This is a mission I 153 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:52,840 have come with. Then he began to read verses of the Quran. Hamizilum 154 00:11:52,200 --> 00:12:03,559 mean a rahman rahim ki tabu for suilat ayaht koran nabi nikomi alamun bashi rong, 155 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,559 that's sura. He continued reading it until he got to a place where 156 00:12:09,759 --> 00:12:16,960 he made mention of the punishment of the previous nations. This was the verse 157 00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:22,840 he got to. This verse he says, for in arado fakuladaruto kum sar 158 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:35,200 inkota lasar inkartidam, if they are going to turn away, then warn them 159 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,480 of the punishment. That got to add and the mood. At this stage, 160 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,639 the man puts his hand on the mouth of the prophet Salah Aslam and 161 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,600 blocks it and says stop, stop, stop, stop. That's enough. 162 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,600 Why he did not want to hear the punishment. Then he ran back to 163 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,759 his people and says, oh, my people. He went back to Abu 164 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,840 Jahal and the others, and he says, you know what, I have 165 00:12:58,039 --> 00:13:03,919 heard something today recitation I have heard it is so sweet. It is so 166 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,120 beautiful, It is so correct, it is so apt. It is something 167 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,759 that you just feel like continuing listening to, and it has so much in 168 00:13:11,879 --> 00:13:13,799 it and so on, and it is definitely not the speech of man. 169 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,200 They looked at him, they said, what we sent you to tell that 170 00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:20,919 man to get out of what he's saying. And you come back telling us 171 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,200 you almost convinced. He says, no, no, no, no no, 172 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,159 I'm only letting you know what I heard. I'm not convinced. Look 173 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,360 at this, Look at what happened. Now, what happens to us? 174 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,000 We listen to the Koran, we read the Koran, we understand the message 175 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,679 of Allah. Are we not sometimes being cheated the same way by Chaipan where 176 00:13:39,159 --> 00:13:43,440 we say, it's a beautiful Kuran. I enjoy listening to this sech and 177 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,080 that share and this person and that reciter and mashalla this one and that one. 178 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,120 But how much are we following it? What's the point of getting the 179 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,279 enjoyment of the ear alone that was achieved by the Kufar as well. I 180 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,519 can tell you a true story. I had stopped one day at the traffic 181 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,480 light with the Kuran a little bit loud. I don't want to call it 182 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,679 blasting, But Marshall, I was loud and there were people right next to 183 00:14:05,759 --> 00:14:09,039 me. They looked at me and they said, you know, they're like 184 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,720 sort of putting their thumbs up, and I put it down to talk to 185 00:14:11,799 --> 00:14:15,720 them, and they say, I love your music. What music is this? 186 00:14:16,519 --> 00:14:20,399 So it shows us that if we are going to stop at the soothing 187 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,440 of the ears alone, then that happens to the kufar as well. What's 188 00:14:24,519 --> 00:14:28,919 the difference we are supposed to be taking it further and putting practice to what 189 00:14:30,039 --> 00:14:33,360 we listened to. Alas Subhanah howat Ala, open our doors and may he 190 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,120 grant us a deep understanding. So this is why at that time they did 191 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,960 not want to hear any revelation. Chaipan had a plan, and that plan 192 00:14:41,159 --> 00:14:43,639 was he was going to turn people away from a revelation. And this is 193 00:14:43,679 --> 00:14:54,639 why alas Subhanah howat Ala says waka leading a kafar la tasmaoni koro. The 194 00:14:54,759 --> 00:14:58,720 disbelievers used to say, do not listen to this revelation, don't listen to 195 00:14:58,759 --> 00:15:03,639 the Koran. Make noise whilst it is being read, because as people were 196 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,519 listening to it, it was piercing their ears. It was piercing their hearts 197 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,799 and it was going in. They were digesting it, and they were turning. 198 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,600 As they were turning, the Kofar did not know how to stop it. 199 00:15:13,919 --> 00:15:18,960 Didn't I say yesterday that man needs spirituality in order to complete himself and 200 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,039 in order to be content. So as the people were turning, they did 201 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,399 not know what to do. So these koufar of Korage, the leaders started 202 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,720 saying, don't listen to the Koran. This is why one of the biggest 203 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:35,240 sins we can have is when Allah has sent down a book and we are 204 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,360 stopping people from trying to understand that book, and we are stopping people from 205 00:15:39,399 --> 00:15:43,840 reading the book, and we are discouraging people from trying to understand the Koran. 206 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:48,159 That is one of the biggest sins we could ever have. Because Allah 207 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,279 promised Adam Alaisalam right at the beginning that I'm going to send you guidance, 208 00:15:52,639 --> 00:15:56,159 and every time guidance comes, whoever follows it will be rightly guided, and 209 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,720 whoever doesn't, then it is them to blame. So Allah grant us a 210 00:16:00,759 --> 00:16:06,240 deep understanding. So from the beginning there were two forces, his Bulahi and 211 00:16:06,399 --> 00:16:10,720 his bushet Pani. There is the force of Alas subhanah hauwat Alah and the 212 00:16:10,799 --> 00:16:14,480 force of the devil. These two forces are very clear in our lives. 213 00:16:14,799 --> 00:16:18,240 We see it from the very beginning. We are lucky, we are fortunate 214 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,039 that we were told how it started and what the root of it was. 215 00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:27,279 It is so really, so soothing to know the beginning, because now we 216 00:16:27,399 --> 00:16:30,600 can do something about it. We do not have to reinvent the wheel. 217 00:16:30,759 --> 00:16:34,639 It's already there. We believe, we've seen. We have these verses that 218 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,600 are recited for us. So Alas Subhanah houwat Ala speaks of these two forces 219 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:45,120 from the very beginning, and we need to understand not only that Alas subhanah 220 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,279 hawat Alah mercy to all of us. He goes a step further. What 221 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,799 is that step? He teaches us from the beginning, how to protect ourselves 222 00:16:52,840 --> 00:17:00,240 from the devil. Yeah, Bani adama lie af tina na komus hipan come 223 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:15,480 ahraja abaa income in al jihan yes humlibas and huma lida humashima in hu yakamakabino 224 00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:27,799 hum in haithuna tarahum in jasha al Ala mean powerful verses of the Koran. 225 00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:33,160 Alas his old children of Adam. We are all included in this. Do 226 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:40,640 not let the Chipan lead you astray, or do not let him overpower you, 227 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,799 or overcome you, or cheat you or test you in the way that 228 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:49,960 he did with your forefather Adam and his wife Hawa. And he removed them 229 00:17:51,079 --> 00:17:55,960 as a result from the goodness that they were in So a lies warning us, 230 00:17:56,519 --> 00:18:00,720 Allah tells us be one and over and above that we are taught that 231 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:07,759 the last part of that verse alas is, Chaithan will not be able to 232 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,960 be a protector for those who believe He can only be a protector for those 233 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,640 who disbelieve He can offer them this sort of false protection. For a moment, 234 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,839 we ask Allah to make us the true believers and to make us from 235 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:26,680 those whom Allah has protected. Now, if you take a look at Chaithan 236 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:33,440 and what he did, and the fact that he had removed Adam and ha 237 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:40,279 allay him as Salam from Jannah, he removed them from Jannah by conning them. 238 00:18:40,759 --> 00:18:44,680 This happens to us on a daily basis. Alas is, if you 239 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,680 ask Allah's protection, you will never ever be led astray. So every morning 240 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,160 and every evening, it is our duty to ask the protection of alas Supanaha 241 00:18:55,240 --> 00:19:00,680 to Alah. We are taught listen to the verse alas supanahuat alas is wal 242 00:19:00,799 --> 00:19:12,240 kurab be ah tho be coming Hamazati shayati waau do being arab behind oh messenger 243 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:19,759 Muhammad Sallah was Selam say invoke Allah, call Allah with the following words, 244 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:26,720 say, I seek Allah's protection from the whisperings of the devil, and I 245 00:19:26,839 --> 00:19:32,559 seek Allah's protection from these devils even coming into my presence. Isn't that a 246 00:19:32,599 --> 00:19:37,039 powerful dua? We will find it in sa minoon towards the end, and 247 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,960 this dua should be read by us on a daily basis. We are seeking 248 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,599 the protection of Allah from the devil and his whisperings. And we are seeking 249 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:51,759 the protection of Allah from the devil even coming into our presence, because we 250 00:19:51,799 --> 00:19:53,720 don't want him to come into our presence. What a powerful duan? In 251 00:19:53,799 --> 00:19:59,200 a hadith, the prophets or allaho a Selam speaks about the power of Ayatukurzi 252 00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:02,640 and I'm we all know it off by heart, but we have to read 253 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:07,119 it every morning every evening, thrice in the morning, thrice in the evening. 254 00:20:07,599 --> 00:20:11,200 In another narration, the power of the last two suras of the Quran 255 00:20:11,319 --> 00:20:17,480 is being made mention of pulled audu bill phalaka pulled audub bin nas. They 256 00:20:17,519 --> 00:20:22,880 are known as almo aw. We attain those two suras wherein we seek refuge 257 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,960 in a las subhanah hawatalah from so much evil. We need to read these 258 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,359 surahs three times in the morning, three times in the evening. Now, 259 00:20:30,559 --> 00:20:36,319 what does a las supanah hawatala say? First we read this evening in a 260 00:20:36,519 --> 00:20:45,119 Kaida shianika Albarif the plot of the devil is very weak, Chaithan's plot is 261 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,440 very weak. And if we are to seek the protection of Allah Subhana Hawatala, 262 00:20:49,519 --> 00:20:52,279 it won't even affect us, it won't even bother us. So it's 263 00:20:52,279 --> 00:20:56,839 important whilst we spoke about the devil that we also speak about how to be 264 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:02,359 protected from the devil. It literally creates a metal armor around you when you 265 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,960 read this early morning and every evening for the rest of the day and the 266 00:21:06,039 --> 00:21:08,319 rest of the night, and Chaipan will not be able to harm you and 267 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,960 attack you. There is something known as the evil eye that is also from 268 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,400 the devil. There is something known as jealousy that is also from the devil. 269 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,519 There is something known as envy that is also from the devil. We 270 00:21:18,599 --> 00:21:23,559 will be protected from all this. We will also be protected from the magic 271 00:21:23,799 --> 00:21:26,920 that people want to engage in, and the black magic and what have you. 272 00:21:27,319 --> 00:21:32,240 All this we will be protected from, including being protected from the jin 273 00:21:32,319 --> 00:21:36,359 kind at large. May alas Sudhnahuatla grant us a deep understanding for your information. 274 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,000 Ginkind is very very frightened of man, very very frightened of men. 275 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:47,079 But when we show a weak link, then he gets excited. He gets 276 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,000 excited. You know. It reminds me of a story. Maybe on a 277 00:21:49,079 --> 00:21:52,799 lighter note, we could mention this. They say, there was a man 278 00:21:52,839 --> 00:21:56,960 who was very soft natured, very very soft natured, and when he was 279 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:02,279 getting married, the people were worried that you're going to control you completely. 280 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,839 Your wife is going to control you completely, He says, So what should 281 00:22:04,839 --> 00:22:07,680 I do? They gave him an idea. They said, first night, 282 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:12,039 get a stick and we'll release a cat into the room. And as soon 283 00:22:12,079 --> 00:22:15,880 as you know, you walk into the room, when the cat appears, 284 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,720 you must just put your head gear on one side and start beating the cat 285 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,039 until you kill it and then throw it out. Of the window like a 286 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,359 man. And that's the only thing you're going to need to do. He 287 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,359 says, well, that's fine. On the other hand, his wife was 288 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,200 hearing that. You know, you've got such a soft natured husband. You're 289 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,440 so lucky. So what happened first night they released the cat and the plan 290 00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:37,759 worked. He beat up the cat, and she was scared looking at him. 291 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,079 This is not what I knew him as. And and the cat died 292 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,240 and he threw it out of the window, and he says, no, 293 00:22:44,279 --> 00:22:45,720 I'm sorry about that. He cleansed everything, and it was all back to 294 00:22:45,799 --> 00:22:48,880 Noma. Every day he would say I'd like you to do this or else 295 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,279 or else what so hannaha or else. As soon as he says or else, 296 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,799 she's worried that o elves I'll get the whack, you know, just 297 00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:00,319 like the cat. Until some time later she went back to her family, 298 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,039 She went back to her friends. But you people told me this man was 299 00:23:03,079 --> 00:23:06,400 soft. They said, no, try defying him once. See what happens. 300 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,759 See we're talking here of the gin and how weak the ginnis. So 301 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:15,839 what happened is he says, I want you to have the tea ready at 302 00:23:15,839 --> 00:23:18,640 seven o'clock or else, she says, or else, what else? I'll 303 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,599 have it ready, lah akaba, we ask a lass of Hannah's adah to 304 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,920 grant us protection and understand it. Really so, how we feel that chaifan 305 00:23:27,039 --> 00:23:30,839 and the devil is strong, well, lie he is weak. Defy him 306 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,799 and see what happens Defy the devil. I'm not saying the husband's are devils. 307 00:23:33,839 --> 00:23:37,920 But what we are saying, so Hannah Lah, is that we need 308 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,720 to learn a lesson. When we have a perception that something is stronger than 309 00:23:41,799 --> 00:23:44,960 us, we tend to be overcome by it. Why well, why it 310 00:23:45,079 --> 00:23:48,319 is weak. It is something that is frightened of us. Let us understand 311 00:23:48,559 --> 00:23:51,839 when we defy this devil, and with the Quran and with the words of 312 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,240 a lass of hannahwa talah, it will run away. Getting to the children 313 00:23:56,279 --> 00:23:59,359 of Adam alais saarahua Salam, how did they come about? It's a question 314 00:24:00,759 --> 00:24:07,200 how may peace be upon her? She gave birth twenty times. Each time 315 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,839 there was a boy and a girl subhan allah. They were of different colors, 316 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,079 different shapes and sizes in the sense that you know, the looks were 317 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,160 varying from one to the other, and so on, and at that time 318 00:24:18,839 --> 00:24:22,240 they had to be marriage. So how were they going to marry? They 319 00:24:22,279 --> 00:24:26,880 had a different law, they had a different shariah. Adam alahis Salam. 320 00:24:27,039 --> 00:24:30,119 How did he become a prophet? That is also a very important question for 321 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:34,880 us to answer. Initially, he was the father. When he had his 322 00:24:36,039 --> 00:24:40,599 children, he began to remind his children of what happened in Janna and what 323 00:24:40,759 --> 00:24:42,799 happened with the devil, So automatically he was in a bee of Allah. 324 00:24:44,039 --> 00:24:48,119 He was reminding them of the beginning and who Allah is, and how we 325 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,359 must worship Allah alone because he is the sole creator, and how the devil 326 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:57,079 cheated them and got them out of paradise. So they all knew directly from 327 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:02,319 Adam alahis Salam that this is what happened, and Ada malai Salam was giving 328 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,400 them the Auah. He was literally calling them towards goodness and keeping them on 329 00:25:06,519 --> 00:25:11,799 the right track. So as the children grew, one of the oldest children 330 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:17,480 was known as Kabil in the English language Kin and the one younger than him 331 00:25:17,599 --> 00:25:21,680 was known as Habil or Abel in the English language. We find some similarities 332 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:26,319 in the previous revelations with what we also have in Islam. So what was 333 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,440 the difference between these two. Listen very carefully. Cain was not so good 334 00:25:30,519 --> 00:25:37,640 looking and Abel was very handsome. Listen to this. And the sister of 335 00:25:37,799 --> 00:25:41,880 Cain was very good looking, but she was born in the same or from 336 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:48,559 the same womb. So those two were what we call womb brothers and sisters 337 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,759 from the same womb. And when it came to Abel, he was very 338 00:25:52,799 --> 00:25:57,279 good looking, but his sister was not as good looking. Look at how 339 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:03,640 looks affected them from the very So Adam alais Salam instructed the two when the 340 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:10,039 time came, and they Allah put naturally in them the inclination towards marriage and 341 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:14,839 partnership and so on. So Adam Alaisellam says, you will marry the sister 342 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,000 of this one, and this one will marry the sister of your meaning your 343 00:26:18,079 --> 00:26:22,640 sister. So Cain, his sister was very good looking. He looked at 344 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:27,319 this girl is supposed to marry, and he says, she's not that good 345 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:33,680 looking. And why must I give my sister to this guy? Why imagine 346 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,200 the question I don't want to give my sister. If we read the books 347 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,680 of the historians, if Nikati Rahimahla has made mention of what I'm saying, 348 00:26:41,319 --> 00:26:45,680 he says. Kabil Kaine says, I don't want my sister to go to 349 00:26:45,799 --> 00:26:49,000 him, and I don't want to have his sister. I'd rather have my 350 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,960 own sister. He's saying, stop a little law. But anyway, that 351 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,119 was what went through his mind, and as a result, it created a 352 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,920 problem. Look at how a marriage up to today creates problems between people. 353 00:27:00,319 --> 00:27:03,400 The Hadith the prophets a Lallada Salam says, either ajah a kummantor bon adina 354 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:10,839 hua hulukahof as a huijuhu ilerta halo hutakun fit natunvil ord aasadun arid. If 355 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:15,000 a proposal comes to you from a person whose level of dean you are happy 356 00:27:15,079 --> 00:27:18,680 with and whose character you are happy with, then get them married. If 357 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,960 you don't get them married, they will be great fitna and fasad and corruption 358 00:27:22,079 --> 00:27:26,279 and lots of chaos on earth. Imagine from the beginning that's happened. So 359 00:27:27,319 --> 00:27:30,039 Kain was worried about Luks and he says, I'm not going to marry her 360 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,799 now. As the turbulence continued, they went to their father. The father 361 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,519 heard about it. He was upset He tried to explain to them, and 362 00:27:37,599 --> 00:27:41,759 he made do artu alas subhanahuatala, and Allah showed him a way out. 363 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,119 What was the way out? Allah says, instruct the two of them, 364 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,640 one was a shepherd and one was a farmer who had produced. Instruct the 365 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,799 two of them to give out a charity. Instruct the two of them to 366 00:27:53,839 --> 00:28:00,559 give out a charity, and whoever's charity is accepted will be correct. Now 367 00:28:00,599 --> 00:28:04,359 what happened? This is made mention of the Quran. In the Quran alas 368 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:12,119 is what laim Adam abin hako oh Muhammad sala was Slam recite to them. 369 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:19,119 The story of the two sons of Adam with truth is kara korbana fatu kubbil 370 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:26,279 amin ahadi him a kambal min al aha. When both of them gave their 371 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,440 sacrifices and it was accepted from one and it was not accepted from the other, 372 00:28:32,039 --> 00:28:36,000 the question is why was it not accepted? It is very interesting. 373 00:28:36,079 --> 00:28:38,880 We are going to draw a lesson from this. The one who was a 374 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:45,319 shepherd was able. He came with a good animal and he put it on 375 00:28:45,359 --> 00:28:47,759 the mountain. Why did they have to put it on the mountain? There 376 00:28:47,799 --> 00:28:51,480 were no poor people at the time, he's no poor to give the charity 377 00:28:51,559 --> 00:28:55,319 to. So the plan at that time what used to happen is they used 378 00:28:55,359 --> 00:29:00,160 to put the sacrifice on the mountain and then they would go away. When 379 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,240 they come back, they would see the fire has eaten one or the other. 380 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,200 When the fire has eaten your sacrifice, it means it was accepted by 381 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,720 a lasubanahata ana. And if the fire has not eaten it, it's not 382 00:29:11,839 --> 00:29:15,559 accepted, it's rejected. So this man came with a very good animal and 383 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,039 put it there, and the other brother, Kine, the one who was 384 00:29:19,119 --> 00:29:22,720 fighting and arguing. He was a farmer. He had produce. He brought, 385 00:29:23,519 --> 00:29:27,480 not mediocre produce, but that produce that was now almost rotten. And 386 00:29:27,599 --> 00:29:30,319 he put it there and he says, right, this is the sacrifice, 387 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,079 and they went away. So one was accepted, one wasn't. It's very 388 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:40,720 simple to know which one was accepted. And why remember when we give out 389 00:29:40,759 --> 00:29:45,880 our zaka, zaka is not a voluntary charity. Voluntary charity you can give 390 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,920 what you want, but at least try to give something which is reasonable. 391 00:29:52,039 --> 00:29:55,039 So for a voluntary charity, you can give second hand clothes, you can 392 00:29:55,119 --> 00:29:57,440 give a little bit of leftover food and so on, no problem, because 393 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,119 it is going to be made use of by some and the privileged. That 394 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,240 is a voluntary charity. But when it comes to zaka, don't do that. 395 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,640 You need to give that which is good. We are not saying the 396 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:12,920 best nabis ar Lada seldom tells moide nijabal ita amalehim dyahmad. When you go 397 00:30:14,079 --> 00:30:17,279 to collect the zakat from the people, don't take the best, but don't 398 00:30:17,279 --> 00:30:21,079 take the worst either, take that which is mediocre the middle. So when 399 00:30:21,119 --> 00:30:23,480 we are giving, let's not give the stock that is expired and say that's 400 00:30:23,519 --> 00:30:27,039 my zakat. I'm going to deduct it from my zaka. How it's expired, 401 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:32,079 You rather give it as a voluntary charity. Give that which is good. 402 00:30:32,279 --> 00:30:34,519 Allah will accept it. You'll see the difference of it in your life. 403 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,680 But when we've given the poor wealth, sometimes, you know, we 404 00:30:37,799 --> 00:30:41,480 take a look at the two and a half percent, a small percentage is 405 00:30:41,599 --> 00:30:45,680 zaka. Other churches they're giving ten percent of the salary. Go and find 406 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,480 out. Ask people who are following other churches. Happily they come and say, 407 00:30:48,519 --> 00:30:52,440 no, this is twelve percent. Ten and another two from me and 408 00:30:52,559 --> 00:30:53,720 with us it's only two and a half percent. And you find a man 409 00:30:53,799 --> 00:30:56,680 scrounging saying, you know what, are you sure I've got to give the 410 00:30:56,759 --> 00:31:00,359 cut on this? You know, do I really have to malla open our 411 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:06,440 doors? It is from Allah? And a charity has never decreased anybody's wealth, 412 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,720 that is, a hadith charity cannot decrease your wealth. How much are 413 00:31:08,759 --> 00:31:11,240 you going to use? How much are you going to spend? So when 414 00:31:11,319 --> 00:31:15,519 one charity was accepted, the other one wasn't listen to the vis prl la 415 00:31:15,599 --> 00:31:19,599 la akoutulank. He looked at his brother and says, I'm going to kill 416 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,200 you. Now, why do you want to kill him? When he was 417 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:26,559 accepted and mine wasn't a llahu akabal? Now I want to kill him for 418 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,519 what? Again? This is Chaman's plan. Don't look at the root of 419 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,759 the cause or the root cause, but go and just blame someone and lay 420 00:31:34,839 --> 00:31:40,160 the blame on him and start becoming violent. That's Shathan. So instead of 421 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:44,480 looking at why it was rejected, he decided, right, I'm envious of 422 00:31:44,559 --> 00:31:47,240 this man. Firstly, he's good looking. Secondly, he's going to get 423 00:31:47,279 --> 00:31:49,720 a wife who's very good looking. Thirdly, his wealth is accepted, and 424 00:31:49,839 --> 00:31:53,880 he's a nice farmer. He's got all this, you know, live stock, 425 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,680 and he's so happily living and so on. Why is it that I 426 00:31:56,799 --> 00:32:00,759 am not? He became envious of his own brother. Does this not happen 427 00:32:00,839 --> 00:32:05,880 in some homes? Allasay, goddess, where because of how good looking someone 428 00:32:06,079 --> 00:32:10,720 is, the others ignore them, or sometimes the other way around. Some 429 00:32:12,119 --> 00:32:15,039 parents ignore and Wellahi, we need to go home. Look, I'm not 430 00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:17,480 going to mince my words. We need to go home and ask ourselves are 431 00:32:17,519 --> 00:32:22,039 we guilty of this? Without knowing subconsciously, I always believe people are good. 432 00:32:22,279 --> 00:32:28,680 Chaipan is bad. Do you know? Sometimes Cheapan makes a parent ignore 433 00:32:28,799 --> 00:32:32,279 a child and give more importance to the one who's better looking without realizing, 434 00:32:34,839 --> 00:32:39,720 well, Lahi. Sometimes Cha'than makes a parent give more importance to the child 435 00:32:39,759 --> 00:32:45,359 who's more intelligent. Well, Lahi, and this is Chaithan's plan. And 436 00:32:45,519 --> 00:32:51,119 the other child cannot talk. They are depressed, They cannot open up to 437 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,480 anyone. I have had so many emails from people who have this problem and 438 00:32:54,599 --> 00:32:58,480 they can't make mention of anything. And I say, should I talk to 439 00:32:58,519 --> 00:33:00,839 your parent? They say no, ways, but they feel so inferior. 440 00:33:01,079 --> 00:33:06,640 For what why should we do this? I would like to believe Chapan is 441 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,640 bad. People are good. We need to try and make sure we don't 442 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:14,319 fall into the trap of Chaipan. So let Chathan not do the same thing 443 00:33:14,599 --> 00:33:17,160 that he did with the children of Adam, where because of beauty there was 444 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:22,480 big chaos and disaster. Either way, alanah alah grant us understanding. So 445 00:33:22,599 --> 00:33:27,880 we are talking here both signs of the coin, so he says. The 446 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:35,440 brother gave an answer in amayatak lam al mutaki. A law is going to 447 00:33:35,599 --> 00:33:39,960 accept the charity of the person who is conscious of Allah. Allah will accept 448 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:45,759 the charity of the one who's conscious of a law like basalt elai ya can 449 00:33:45,960 --> 00:34:02,720 tako to lani ma anabivasily elai kali to like in ahaful law. If you 450 00:34:02,839 --> 00:34:06,400 are going to stretch your hand to kill me, I am not going to 451 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,599 stretch my hand to fight you or to kill you back, or to do 452 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:14,119 anything to you. Because I fear Allah. I fear our creator who has 453 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,639 created entire creation, and he is the lord of the worlds. This was 454 00:34:17,679 --> 00:34:24,599 the answer of the brother. But what happened This brother was adamant and Chapan 455 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:30,519 had taught him how to kill. Imagine, how would someone have known how 456 00:34:30,599 --> 00:34:35,000 to kill? You got to stop this person from breathing. How Chapan taught 457 00:34:35,079 --> 00:34:38,159 him how to murder? So he hit his brother with something very hard, 458 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:44,360 either a rock or something very hard, and he killed him akbar. He 459 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:50,320 killed his brother. As soon as he killed his brother, he sat there 460 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:58,039 looking at his brother, and he started regretting. He started regretting. Why 461 00:34:58,119 --> 00:35:01,480 did he start regretting? That is chaifan. As soon as you do something 462 00:35:01,599 --> 00:35:07,760 bad and you've executed it, he goes away. When a person commits adultree, 463 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:13,079 it's made so beautiful. The run up to adultree is so beautiful. 464 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,760 If he has I man or she has I man. As soon as it's 465 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:21,440 committed, there is a guilty in the heart straight because now Chaithan is gone, 466 00:35:21,639 --> 00:35:25,920 you feel. This is why one narration says either saraatka hassanatuka was aska 467 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,559 sayyeatuka fanta momen. A sign that you are a mo mim is when your 468 00:35:30,639 --> 00:35:35,840 good deed makes you happy and your sin makes you regret. That's a sign 469 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,559 you're a mote mid. But then there are people who will commit adultery after 470 00:35:38,639 --> 00:35:43,119 adultery, and they will continue and go on and on. There are some 471 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,280 on drugs. The first two times, two three times, they regret. 472 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:49,679 After that, no regret after that, They do it openly. One brother 473 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,320 was telling me that when they went to the World Cup, only Allah knows. 474 00:35:52,639 --> 00:35:57,239 He says, I seen so many people offering me weed. And when 475 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,400 I said no, I don't do this, they said, what You're probably 476 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,800 the only one. I said no. It can't be Malas of hannahwat Alah 477 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:06,960 safe guard us. If it's that common, then may Alas of Hannah howat 478 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,079 Alah protect us from chipan. And I'd like to believe that the brother was 479 00:36:09,119 --> 00:36:13,800 telling a lie, because by the will of Alas of Hannah howat Ala, 480 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,880 we are not like that. We ask Allah to open our doors. Once 481 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,840 the brother was killed, he looks at his brother, and now he went 482 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,039 away. He went to Adam Alai is Salam, and he carried on with 483 00:36:22,159 --> 00:36:27,199 the day and Adam Alai Islam asks him, where's your brother? He says, 484 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,400 my brother, I am not responsible for him. Why do I have 485 00:36:30,559 --> 00:36:34,599 to know where he is and what's happening. Immediately, Adam Alaisalam knew that 486 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,119 there's something wrong. This child is hiding something from me. There is something 487 00:36:38,159 --> 00:36:43,039 wrong. Now, later on in the evening he went back to the body 488 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,840 and he's looking at it. And the following morning he's looking at this body 489 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:51,440 again, and now it started releasing a stinge. It started releasing a stinge. 490 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,559 And he was remorseful because of his regret. Alas of Hannahowat Alah had 491 00:36:55,599 --> 00:37:01,000 mercy on him by sending him a lesson through two crows. Alas says in 492 00:37:01,039 --> 00:37:20,079 the Quran faballabahiakaari sa pla ya I just do an a kuna na yai for 493 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:29,519 os Bahamin and Nadimi. He regretted when he saw these crows come and the 494 00:37:29,639 --> 00:37:35,760 one was digging in order to bury the other, and it dug and put 495 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,599 the other into the ground and covered it. So he says, can't I 496 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,920 be like this crow? Let me do this. So he dug a hole 497 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,000 also and he buried his brother and so on, and he was very very 498 00:37:47,079 --> 00:37:52,320 remuseful. And thereafter it is reported that he could not really stay with Adam 499 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:57,119 a Salam and then with all the regret that he had, and so he 500 00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,280 went away. He went quite far. In fact, one deration says he 501 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,199 carried the body on his back, and he went quite far, and then 502 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:07,519 he buried it at a bit of a distance. Now he had gone, 503 00:38:07,119 --> 00:38:13,480 and thereafter what happened. Adam Alais has Salah to a Salam and his wife 504 00:38:13,559 --> 00:38:16,519 Hawa Alais has Salam. They had many children, and as I said, 505 00:38:17,039 --> 00:38:23,960 they had forty children. Twenty pays and the pay were not allowed to intermarry, 506 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:29,320 but those who were from a different pay were allowed to marry, the 507 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,280 others from another pair, and so on. And he saw some of his 508 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:37,760 grandchildren and his great grandchildren, and his progeny and his offspring. And it 509 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:42,960 is reported that he'd seen thousands of them, thousands of his children, and 510 00:38:43,119 --> 00:38:46,079 they had gone various parts of the globe, and so many different places they 511 00:38:46,119 --> 00:38:51,800 had gone to. And Adam alai is Salam used to constantly remind them, 512 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,400 and he used to tell them, and some of his children continued that reminder. 513 00:38:54,719 --> 00:39:00,599 One of them was a child known as Sheath she Alai Salam. We 514 00:39:00,679 --> 00:39:04,159 call him Alai is Salam. He was also a messenger of a loss of 515 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,119 Hannah Houa to Alah, in that he carried the message of his father. 516 00:39:07,559 --> 00:39:15,079 One narration says that there were one hundred and four psalms that were revealed by 517 00:39:15,079 --> 00:39:19,800 a loss of Hannah howat Alah. These parchments that were revealed by a loss 518 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,960 of Hannah howat Alah. From them, fifty were revealed to Shi alaihis salah 519 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,239 to a Salam. So he was also given guidance and he was told to 520 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,840 guide the people. And as time passed it became more difficult because they were 521 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:36,599 further away from Adam Alai is Salam. It's like, for example, when 522 00:39:36,679 --> 00:39:40,880 your father has suffered to make his money and you were there watching him suffer 523 00:39:42,079 --> 00:39:45,800 and watching him go through turbulence and turmoil, it is easier for you to 524 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:50,000 appreciate that, but when your children come and they've only seen wealth, for 525 00:39:50,119 --> 00:39:53,480 them to appreciate it is very difficult. This is why wealth generally it's not 526 00:39:53,519 --> 00:39:59,440 an Islamic law, but people who have Muslims who have studied have said it 527 00:39:59,519 --> 00:40:02,599 does not asked for more than three generations without actually depleting totally. Three to 528 00:40:02,679 --> 00:40:07,920 four generations. After that, it has to deplete because alas suhnahuata Alah has 529 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,400 a plan, and his plan is such that wealth does not stay in the 530 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:14,679 same hands for long. It will move and it will can it will go 531 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:19,960 on and on. Allahu akabar may alas suhnahuat Allah grant us goodness and contentment. 532 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,039 So adam alai is salah to a Salamashallah. He'd seen so many of 533 00:40:24,159 --> 00:40:28,760 us children, and he was grooming his children also to continue the message. 534 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,440 He used to call them regularly and tell them that this is what you need 535 00:40:31,519 --> 00:40:34,159 to do, and that is what you need to do, and so on. 536 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,480 And this is how Chaithan. They used to gather together, and he 537 00:40:37,559 --> 00:40:40,679 used to remind them how Chaithan led him astray, and how Chaithan was very 538 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:44,719 jealous, and so on. So there is something for us to learn from 539 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,239 this as well. We need to gather our children and we need to constantly 540 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:51,599 remind them not only of our beginnings, but of the messenger, of the 541 00:40:51,639 --> 00:40:54,440 message of alasu Hannahuatlah. How many of us have sat with our children and 542 00:40:54,559 --> 00:40:58,440 told them, do you know, this is what Allah requires, This is 543 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,760 how we should be dressing. This is the ben of this, This is 544 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,920 the benefit of that. This is the downfall that one will taste if they 545 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,320 do this, and if they do that, and look at this example and 546 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,000 that example. Spend the time with your children it is the Sunna of the 547 00:41:09,079 --> 00:41:14,920 prophets, all the prophets, May Alas peace be upon them. Then Alas 548 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:21,000 subhanahwata Allah makes mention of something very interesting again where Adam alais Salah to a 549 00:41:21,039 --> 00:41:23,400 Salam got sick. He got ill. He got ill at a certain stage, 550 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:29,000 and look at Allah's plan. Allah made him wish for something, wish 551 00:41:29,079 --> 00:41:32,840 for what certain fruits he had eaten in Genna. He ate some fruits in 552 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:37,320 Paradise. He still remembered the taste. So he was wishing for it, 553 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:42,280 making du'atu Allah saying, ya Allah, I'm wishing for these fruits. So 554 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:46,800 Alas subhanah hawat Alah instructed him that at a certain place you will find something, 555 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,519 not that you will find the fruits, but at a certain place you 556 00:41:51,559 --> 00:41:54,320 will find something. But he was unhealthy. He was not healthy enough to 557 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:58,119 go there. So he decided to send some of his children. He says, 558 00:41:58,159 --> 00:42:00,920 go to that place, and you will find something for me there. 559 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:06,559 So when they went there, they found some angels, a group of angels. 560 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,519 What did they have with them? They were dressed in white, and 561 00:42:10,639 --> 00:42:15,960 they had some tools with them. There was a pig and a shovel and 562 00:42:15,119 --> 00:42:20,239 tools to dig. Now these tools were new to the children of Adam Alai 563 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:24,599 is Salah to a Salam. They looked. These angels told the children of 564 00:42:24,639 --> 00:42:29,360 Adam, we are angels and we want you to go back to your father. 565 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:34,480 He is ill and his time is up. Akhabar, he is ill 566 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,320 and his time is up. So they walked with Adam, with the children 567 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:42,360 of Adam Adai is Salam back to Adam Adai Islam and as they entered. 568 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:51,840 As they entered, how may peace be upon her? She recognized this angel 569 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:57,800 is the Angel of Death, the Angel of death. So she quickly started 570 00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,039 going behind Adam Alai is sala to a Salam and he says, no, 571 00:43:00,079 --> 00:43:04,719 no, no, don't worry, move away. I was created before you. 572 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,239 I was created before you. He's going to go. He was not 573 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,920 worried, and now why am I going? And so on. He was 574 00:43:12,039 --> 00:43:14,960 reminded. In fact, he told the Angel of death when he saw him. 575 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,559 He says, but don't I have forty more years to go. We 576 00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,920 made mention of this a few days ago. The angel says, don't you 577 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:28,440 remember you gave it to Da wood a Lai is Salam, And he says, 578 00:43:28,519 --> 00:43:31,360 no, I don't remember. I don't remember. And after he was 579 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:36,320 reminded, he says, no problem. However, he first gathered his children. 580 00:43:36,679 --> 00:43:39,880 Look at this. He gathered his children on his deathbed, and he 581 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:45,079 reminded them, saying, Allah will send messengers to you. He will not 582 00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:49,519 leave you alone. He will send messengers to you, and messages. These 583 00:43:49,639 --> 00:43:54,320 messengers will come different languages, different names, different dialects, but their message 584 00:43:54,639 --> 00:44:00,199 will all be one calling you to worship one alone, the one who made 585 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:04,559 you, and to stay away from the devil and Chaipan and he bliss, 586 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,679 and to be careful that the biggest crime anyone can commit is to associate a 587 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:16,679 partner with the creator. And after he reminded his children, the angels took 588 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:23,639 his soul away and he passed away, and he passed away happily. He 589 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:30,199 was happy to go. Why was he happy to go? Very interesting? 590 00:44:30,559 --> 00:44:32,920 I think that's a lesson. When I was reading about it, really it 591 00:44:34,039 --> 00:44:37,440 brought tears to my eyes. He was happy to go because he knew he 592 00:44:37,599 --> 00:44:43,400 is going back to that heaven that he came from. He knew he's going 593 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,440 back to Allah subhanahwat Al, And he was happy to go because he had 594 00:44:46,519 --> 00:44:52,239 problems here on the earth. He had tests, he had difficulties. He 595 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,000 first hunted for his wife, then he had the problems with his children and 596 00:44:55,079 --> 00:44:59,719 so on, and now he had to taste death. But that death was 597 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:04,599 getting him to Allas Subhanahawa Tala, And from this there is a narration alas 598 00:45:04,679 --> 00:45:07,280 Subhanah Howatala tells us through the lips of Muhammad Sala lah A, you are 599 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:14,599 seldom to have to minial moto. The gift of a true believer is death. 600 00:45:15,519 --> 00:45:20,079 Why you're going back to your maker, your creator. There's no more 601 00:45:20,119 --> 00:45:22,880 inflation, there's no more robberies, there's no more power cuts. There's no 602 00:45:23,079 --> 00:45:27,960 more you know, credit and debt and people following you and running behind you, 603 00:45:28,039 --> 00:45:30,559 and sickness and cough and what have you. Everything ends, It stops. 604 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:35,239 There is only justice and goodness, and for you is what you wish 605 00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:39,559 and what you want and what you whatever you desire. I always give the 606 00:45:39,639 --> 00:45:44,760 example of a child who works hard at school. You work very hard at 607 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:50,960 school for what in order to get a prize? So now, how are 608 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:52,480 you going to get the prize? If you don't want to attend the prize 609 00:45:52,519 --> 00:45:57,719 giving Akbar, You've got to go there, and then you will shake the 610 00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,239 hand and get your price. If you don't go there, how are you 611 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,280 going to get your prize? So for us, we've been promised to read 612 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:06,639 Salah. You get this, give you usaka. You do this dress appropriately, 613 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:08,159 this will happen. For you do that, this will happen. Where 614 00:46:08,159 --> 00:46:10,960 are we going to get all these prizes? You need to go to the 615 00:46:12,039 --> 00:46:14,840 stage. Where is the stage? You need to die first, and then 616 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:19,239 you get to the stage. Laho akuaban, laho akaban. Simple to understand. 617 00:46:19,559 --> 00:46:23,039 But still when we die or someone dies, we become depressed and we 618 00:46:23,159 --> 00:46:29,239 start moaning to the degree that we question what Allah's decree was. How can 619 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,480 we do that? It is natural to miss someone, It is natural to 620 00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:36,639 shed tears of mercy because you're going to miss them. But we never questioned 621 00:46:36,679 --> 00:46:39,679 the decree of Allah. Whatever Allah does is the best. It is the 622 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:44,440 best. When Allah has taken a person away, whether it is in a 623 00:46:44,519 --> 00:46:47,800 car crash or after sickness or suddenly or whatever it is, it is the 624 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:52,960 best that Allah could have done for that particular person. We need to know 625 00:46:52,079 --> 00:46:58,760 this, especially as meaning as believers, so we should not depress ourselves. 626 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,800 If they have on we are going very very soon, so Ada malai is 627 00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:07,760 Salah to a Salam went. When he went, what happened. The angels 628 00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:12,480 had come with the tools. They took the children of Adamalai sala to a 629 00:47:12,559 --> 00:47:15,719 Salam a little bit of a distance, and they dug a proper grave, 630 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:21,639 and they washed the body of Adam Alah his salam with water. They enshrouded 631 00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:28,559 him properly, and they led the salah or the prayer the genaza of Ada 632 00:47:28,639 --> 00:47:31,920 malay is sala to a Salam. One narration says that Jibril instructed Sheath to 633 00:47:32,039 --> 00:47:36,920 lead the salah, and another narration says the angels themselves led that salah. 634 00:47:37,119 --> 00:47:42,639 Only Allah knows. But the Salah was done and he was buried. And 635 00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,440 once he was buried, the angels looked at the children of Adamalai sala to 636 00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:50,519 a Salam and says, had he sun natu kum. This is the way 637 00:47:50,599 --> 00:47:53,480 you shall do it when anyone from amongst you passes away. So that is 638 00:47:53,559 --> 00:47:59,320 how we were taught to enshroud and to leave a gap. I was speaking 639 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,760 to someone a few moments ago, in fact, a few days before I'm 640 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:07,360 avan, and we were talking about how amazing it is that the grave of 641 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:14,000 a Muslim, you have a gap. You are enshrouded in a shroud, 642 00:48:14,599 --> 00:48:19,199 and then you are placed in the grave and the wooden pieces or the bricks 643 00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,440 are not put on you. But there is a gap, and then quite 644 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,320 a big gap, and then there is the wooden pieces, and on top 645 00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:30,719 of that is the soil subhana lah Do you know one of the benefits of 646 00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:37,039 that is it allows for the decomposure of that body in the soil because of 647 00:48:37,159 --> 00:48:40,719 the presence of oxygen in that hollow. If there was no oxygen, what 648 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:44,639 happens. Let me tell you what happens. Look at the mass graves in 649 00:48:44,639 --> 00:48:47,760 the globe. When the people are buried and the sand is straight onto them, 650 00:48:49,159 --> 00:48:52,719 what happens? You find the bone, even after a thousand years, 651 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:57,000 you might find some of it has not yet decomposed, because it is all 652 00:48:57,079 --> 00:48:59,760 there. Still, the skulls are there, everything is there. Whereas if 653 00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:04,119 you very islamically the proper way by leaving that gap, who knew that there 654 00:49:04,159 --> 00:49:07,880 would be oxygen trapped in there which is needed for that to decompose. Lahu 655 00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:14,719 akabar, Lahu akabar. So now that it decomposes completely, you dig it 656 00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,920 back up nine months later, there is nothing remaining there. In la Ajabad 657 00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:22,360 Danab, the Hadid speaks about the last small little portion at the bottom of 658 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:27,119 your spine, the conicle, the little cone shaped bone, part of it 659 00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,119 remains, and that is the seed of man from which you we will grow, 660 00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:35,719 as I made mention of the other day. So this is how we 661 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:37,360 are to be buried. Where were we taught from? We were taught by 662 00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:42,719 the angels from a las subhanahuata alah amazing story. We ask alas sub Hannah 663 00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:46,400 hauata Alah to grant us a deep understanding. The question where was he buried? 664 00:49:46,639 --> 00:49:52,639 It's a question. Some narrations say he was buried phil Hind, close 665 00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:57,480 to where he had descended, whereas other narrations say that he was buried in 666 00:49:57,559 --> 00:50:01,639 Macca by the mount known as Jabbal abi robais just outside where the Haram is 667 00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:06,079 now. He was buried somewhere there, but Allah knows best. All we 668 00:50:06,199 --> 00:50:08,920 know is he was definitely buried. And I had spoken about Sief Ali is 669 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:14,480 Salam being another nabee of Allah subannahwatala in sha Allah. We will get to 670 00:50:14,599 --> 00:50:16,960 more of the stories of these messengers. The last question I have is how 671 00:50:17,079 --> 00:50:22,840 many messengers were there? How many messengers of Allah subhana hawatala. We don't 672 00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:27,599 know the exact figure in the Koran. Twenty five are mentioned in the Koran, 673 00:50:27,679 --> 00:50:31,440 there are twenty five names of the messengers, but some narration of Muhammed 674 00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:37,400 saladah Alai Rasalam makes mention of different figures, the largest of which is one 675 00:50:37,639 --> 00:50:44,119 hundred and twenty four thousand imagine one one hundred and twenty four thousand messengers. 676 00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,559 We don't know really whether that figure is correct, but we have a rough 677 00:50:47,599 --> 00:50:55,239 idea that there are so many. The Koran says min Hum cosas nalaika or 678 00:50:55,360 --> 00:51:02,920 mian hum malamakoso Salai. There are messengers O Mohammed Salam whom we have told 679 00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,679 you about, and we've related to you their stories, and some whom we 680 00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:09,199 have not even told you about, which means there are so many. Only 681 00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:14,480 Alan knows the exact number. All subhannah Ala grant us a lesson until we 682 00:51:14,639 --> 00:51:21,360 continue again in sha a lot tomorrow. We say, what's Allahanhammed Subhanahadi subhanah lah
