1 00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:12,400 This is Miler rahimani Rahim in the name of Allah, the most Gracious, 2 00:00:12,439 --> 00:00:31,440 the most merciful, heard a lot par excellence, presents lessens from the stories 3 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:48,920 of the prophets by Mufti Ismail even Musa menk Son and in his Salam snip 4 00:00:48,960 --> 00:01:03,679 peace be upon him sat allahhu is Aldah awabaraka alah ibad lao staff Awabad. 5 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,560 All praise is due to a loss sub Hannah. Howat Ailah, blessings and 6 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,719 salutations upon Muhammad salalahu areeh. He was seldom We ask Alas subhanahwa t Alah 7 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,200 to bless him and to bless every single one of us, and to grant 8 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:21,599 us every form of goodness a mean beloved brothers and sisters in Islam. Yesterday 9 00:01:21,719 --> 00:01:26,840 we went through the story of the nation known as ad to whom Alas subpnahwat 10 00:01:26,879 --> 00:01:33,000 Aialah had sent a nabe and a prophet known as who the Adehsalah to us 11 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,680 Salam. We heard that they were destroyed with a wind, a very very 12 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:44,079 powerful wind. And we heard that Alas Subphanah hauwat Alah destroyed them to the 13 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:49,640 degree that there was no remnants of them, nothing at all to this day, 14 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:55,680 there is nothing to prove to us that ad existed besides the verses in 15 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,280 the Quran. Unlike the pharaohs, whom we have pyramids to see that they 16 00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:02,920 were there, when it comes to the other nations, there are some science 17 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,199 to prove that they were there. Yet these people were the most powerful. 18 00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:15,560 They were large, huge people who were granted lots of wealth, They were 19 00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:21,479 granted lots of power. They had made their homes in such sophisticated ways, 20 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:27,400 and they defied a loss of hannahuat Allah by saying, who is there that 21 00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:31,080 can be more powerful than us? Today on the globe, we have forces 22 00:02:31,159 --> 00:02:37,159 that claim to be the most powerful. We have nations that are the most 23 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:43,479 sophisticated. We have nations that are technologically the highest, and they are far 24 00:02:43,759 --> 00:02:49,159 beyond everyone else. Take a look at the nation of Japan, for example. 25 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,240 May as of hanahuat Allah protect us, and may he protect humanity at 26 00:02:53,319 --> 00:03:00,120 large. May he guide us all to the straight path. I recall a 27 00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:06,840 few months back witnessing what happened in Japan, and I told myself, and 28 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:12,360 I'm sure we all did, that these are the most sophisticated brains in the 29 00:03:12,439 --> 00:03:19,159 world. They have Sony and they have motor vehicles, and they have so 30 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:24,199 much in terms of electronic gadgets that when they want to get to their offices, 31 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,000 they look at the door, it looks at them and opens. And 32 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,439 believe me, this is what happens. It detects the eye and it opens 33 00:03:31,759 --> 00:03:38,120 Laho Akamar. And yet when alas sub hanahuwat Ala in eight seconds decided to 34 00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:46,080 destroy a whole portion, nobody could do anything. Nothing nothing, not a 35 00:03:46,199 --> 00:03:50,400 soul, not a machine, not technology, not a man, not a 36 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,719 power, not a weapon, not their seats in the security council. Nothing 37 00:03:54,199 --> 00:04:00,400 no. And that is the power of the creator A las Subphnahwatala safe goddess, 38 00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:02,280 and may he make us from those who can learn a lesson. This 39 00:04:02,439 --> 00:04:06,639 is why whenever the prophets or a Laho Allah he was seldom used to see 40 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:13,840 clouds come towards Madina till Munawara, his face would change and he would start 41 00:04:13,919 --> 00:04:17,480 making duah and he would be worried. And Ai sharaday allahu Anha says that 42 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,639 I asked him, oh, messenger solallaho Allah, he was seldom. Why 43 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:27,600 do you look so worried? He responded, saying, these clouds have been 44 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,399 sent before as a punishment to destroy nations. Here they are, we should 45 00:04:31,439 --> 00:04:35,439 make da to alla supnah to ala ya Allah grant us rainfall of mercy. 46 00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:42,279 Let this cloud bring what is known as sukiya ahmat and lasukiya adar. Let 47 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,040 it bring the rain of mercy, not that of punishment. Alasupnah to Allah 48 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,720 grant us a lesson. So when we hear the lightning, when we hear 49 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,759 the howling of the wind, we should always seek the protection of alasu hanahua 50 00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:00,720 to alah. Obviously, the nation of Islam will not be destroyed completely, 51 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,959 no, not at once, just like the previous nations, but the pockets 52 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:10,120 of people will be suffering depending on their connection with a Las supannahuata ala. 53 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:15,439 Alas supanna huatala grant us that plug in in such a way that we connect 54 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,040 to our las supannahuata ala. This evening, we'd like to go through the 55 00:05:18,079 --> 00:05:25,399 story of Saleh haleehala toua Salama. These people were successors after Ad. They 56 00:05:25,439 --> 00:05:30,439 were further up north. They were roughly in a place known as al Hijan 57 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,480 Alhejir, the place which was quite rocky. There were some rocky mountains and 58 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:41,480 so on and alas Suhanahuatla has named a whole sura in the Qur'an after them, 59 00:05:41,879 --> 00:05:46,720 known as Sura Tuljijen, and their dwellings are still present up to now 60 00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:54,240 roughly three hundred and eighty kilometers northwest of Madina Tulmunawara and Rasulu Las alaho Ah 61 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,920 Rasalam has been there, and so have some of his companions. And the 62 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,040 story is related to us in Challah. We will get to the end of 63 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,959 it. What the profits of allaho Ala? He was seldom said, But 64 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:09,439 let's take a look at what happened to these people. After add these people 65 00:06:09,519 --> 00:06:13,120 were the remainders. They went further up north and so only settled, and 66 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,480 they had children and what have you, in generations, and they were in 67 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,800 the worship of Allah Subhanah howat Ala. They were thanking Allah that they were 68 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,920 saved and what have you. And after some time they also began to get 69 00:06:20,959 --> 00:06:25,800 produced, they got gardens, they got power. They were large human beings. 70 00:06:25,959 --> 00:06:30,120 When I say large, I'm talking of huge human beings, so huge 71 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,439 that Alas su Hanah howat Alah describes their size, and he describes their dwellings, 72 00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:38,800 and he describes the gifts that he gave and alas sub haanah howa to 73 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,879 Alah says, from amongst them, there was so much wealth that after some 74 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:48,639 time they began to forget Allah Suhannah Howatana, they began to indulge, to 75 00:06:48,759 --> 00:06:54,360 indulge. This is why we constantly say that alas sup Hannah howat Alah. 76 00:06:54,399 --> 00:06:57,360 When he gives us good health, when he gives us wealth, when he 77 00:06:57,439 --> 00:07:02,560 gives us happy conditions, don't forget him tarra il allah he feel rahi yeah 78 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,839 arif kahita. Get close to a loss of hannah huwat Alah. At times 79 00:07:06,879 --> 00:07:12,560 of ease, when you are in difficulty, he will come to you soub 80 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,040 hanaha. But with us, what happens. Sometimes we forget a loss of 81 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,800 hannahuwa to Alah. So next thing we have a problem, and that problem 82 00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:24,480 makes us lift our hands up to him for the first time in our lives. 83 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,959 Now, a loss of hannahua to Alah grant us the ability to turn 84 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,120 to him at all times. So these people, when they began to engage 85 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:39,439 in this type of behavior, they had lots and lots of wealth. They 86 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:45,120 also followed their forefathers, And what did their forefathers. Do you remember we 87 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,800 spoke about it yesterday. They had these houses on top of the mountains that 88 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,319 they did not really live in, and then they had their dwellings in the 89 00:07:54,439 --> 00:07:59,160 valleys. These people did the same thing. They did exactly the same thing. 90 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,120 So Hannahwatala decided to send to them from amongst them a man. What 91 00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:07,560 type of a man, A man who was also from a wealthy family, 92 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,319 A man who was also from a very well looked up to family. Not 93 00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:16,160 just an ordinary person from the low caste of people. No, a person 94 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,600 who had very high standing in society and community, so much so that he 95 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:26,199 was a man whom they were preparing in order to appoint as their leader. 96 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,560 They wanted to appoint him as their leader because he was one of the most 97 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,679 intelligent from amongst them. S alihis Salah to a Salam for your information. 98 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,600 Once again, this story, just like the story of Ard, is not 99 00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:45,759 made mention of in the Old Testament or the New Testament because these were Arab 100 00:08:45,879 --> 00:08:48,799 prophets who came to the Arabian Peninsula. So for some reason, they are 101 00:08:48,879 --> 00:08:54,840 not mentioned in the Jewish and Christian scriptures. Although the Qur'an says that Mussa 102 00:08:54,879 --> 00:09:00,399 alehissalah to a Salam. The prophet Moses had warned his people of something similar 103 00:09:00,519 --> 00:09:03,480 to what happened to Themud and the others. So mention is made of this 104 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:11,279 in the Quran. So Alas Subhanah huwat Alah says, w elahamuda aham Sali 105 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,759 to the people of Themmud, we sent to them their brother Saleh may Alas 106 00:09:16,759 --> 00:09:22,240 peace be upon him. What is meant by their brother we explained yesterday when 107 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,639 Allah says we sent their brother, it means one from amongst them. It 108 00:09:26,759 --> 00:09:33,360 means he was from amongst them. Klayah kumulm la kun in ela him royal. 109 00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:37,159 He says, Oh, my people, worship Allah alone. You do 110 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,519 not have anyone worthy of worship besides Allah. Sobhanahwat Anah. Look, this 111 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,360 is the same message, the same message that Alas sup Hannah howat Alah sent 112 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,519 with every single messenger. This evening, we came across verses at the beginning 113 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,320 of surat Hood where Alas Subhana huwat Alah speaks about why he revealed the Qoran. 114 00:09:54,759 --> 00:09:58,399 Listen to what Allah says, and these were verses we read inter We 115 00:09:58,519 --> 00:10:05,960 have a few moments ago kitabun kim and a touna for say, led me 116 00:10:07,039 --> 00:10:18,720 in ladun hankiim in hobby a latado in Allah. We have revealed this book 117 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:24,200 to you, oh Mohammad Salah. He was seldom from the most knowledgeable, 118 00:10:24,799 --> 00:10:31,679 the one who knows absolutely everything the all wise in order that they may abstain 119 00:10:31,879 --> 00:10:37,320 from wayshiping anything besides allahs of Hannahattan. So that's the reason why the Quran 120 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:43,879 was revealed to warn us all with the same warning that the previous messengers had 121 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,639 come and brought to their people. Be careful of shiri. That was the 122 00:10:46,759 --> 00:10:50,159 main message, and that is the core message of the Quran. If you 123 00:10:50,279 --> 00:10:54,960 are to associate partnership with Allah, you fell into the same trap that Chaipan 124 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:01,200 has been using for so long. It beats me that to cat you still 125 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,879 need the same trap that they used to use one hundred years ago. It 126 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,720 works. They have not become sophisticated. Lahu akaba. Have you ever come 127 00:11:07,759 --> 00:11:13,519 across people or rats? Should I say that do not get ensnared in that 128 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,639 trap. Maybe fish are slightly cleverer, because now if you use the same 129 00:11:16,759 --> 00:11:20,399 bait in one place, they see their brothers are getting caught. They won't 130 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:26,120 bite the fishermen from amongst us no akaba. So you've got to start thinking 131 00:11:26,159 --> 00:11:30,720 of different type of bait. But Chaipan uses the same plan and he's hooking 132 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,919 man one after the other. They bite him, they biteing and alas sunahoatalas 133 00:11:35,039 --> 00:11:39,440 is man. We've given you these stories of the previous nations for you to 134 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,120 abstain from it. Now when we talk about shir, some people start saying, 135 00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:46,200 what everything is sure? How can you be saying that this is she 136 00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:50,759 gratscher. Well, it's better to be on the safest side because then we'll 137 00:11:50,799 --> 00:11:54,879 be saved. But the moment we are now entered in great territory. For 138 00:11:54,039 --> 00:12:00,480 what the Quran is clear cut. Worship Allah alone now Ala suhanahat Allah ourdos 139 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,919 so alas of Hannah. Howat Alah says that Salah told his people, look 140 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:11,799 at the gifts of Allah upon you, who are shaku mean stanma kuni ha 141 00:12:13,879 --> 00:12:16,279 a loss of Hannah. Howatala has established you on earth, and he has 142 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:22,399 granted you growth on this earth, and he has granted you multiplication. Festal 143 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:31,480 feel fu matobo in a. So seek forgiveness to Allah and return to him. 144 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,159 This is Yet another messenger who is making mention of both is still far 145 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,360 as well as Tealba to repent and to turn back to a loss of Hannah, 146 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,399 howat ala, And he says, then a loss of Hannah, Howatla 147 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:54,519 will answer your call. He will answer your duah in arabbikiboom mujib. Allah 148 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,919 is indeed very near, and he will respond. Many of us we may 149 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,639 ada. Then we say, Allah is not answering my da. Allah is 150 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,159 not answering my da. But there is a narration of the prophets a Lallah 151 00:13:07,159 --> 00:13:13,200 who was seldom, which says, how can there be a man who is 152 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:18,600 raising his hands so high in the skies and asking Allah, Yeah rab Rabbi 153 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:26,639 warman Basu, Who haramon wama parana, Who haraman wahi haraami fanna ustadjabuli dalik. 154 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,120 His food is haram, his clothing is haram, He's drinking is haram. 155 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,679 He has been nourished with haram. How does he expect a response? 156 00:13:35,759 --> 00:13:39,960 This is what the prophets Allah Allam is saying. So sometimes we need to 157 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,639 look into our own selves. When we call out to Allah. A true 158 00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:48,200 more men will feel in his or her heart that Allah has hurt my dam, 159 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,679 he will feel it. And the prophets Allallah, who seldom says yustajabuli 160 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,919 ahadi kumala mystaja. All of you will be responded to by Allah. Suhanah 161 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,720 Allah for as long as you don't make haste. So the sahaba say, 162 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,159 woman is the ajia luya rasula la? What is it to make haste? 163 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,879 What is that? He says, anyapuna ahadukun daur too, fellow new stage. 164 00:14:11,879 --> 00:14:16,679 I believe when you start saying that I have made a dua but I 165 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,639 still don't have a response, then you are trying to jump the gun. 166 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,879 So don't jump the gun. Don't make haste. Allah will respond, keep 167 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,480 on making that duar. When the messengers made dua, they made a dua. 168 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,279 Allah responded, but they sacrificed their whole lives for Alas subhanah houata Alah. 169 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,039 And there were some messengers we will get to them in shah Allah who 170 00:14:39,159 --> 00:14:43,559 made duaa and repeated the dua until a day came when Allah responded. Sometimes 171 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:48,559 it was not almost spontaneous, but Alas Suhanna huwata Alah wanted to prove something. 172 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,039 So it's important for us never to lose hope. But remember, if 173 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,279 you want your dua to be accepted, we'd better engage in still far first. 174 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,320 When you engage in still far first and repent first, and then you 175 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,559 ask Allah whatever you want, there is a greater likelihood of that being answered 176 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:13,320 almost spontaneously. So alas Subhanahuatla says their houses were so big jakano yantu namin 177 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:24,559 aljibalibuyut amini. They used to carve out of the rocky mountains their homes that 178 00:15:24,879 --> 00:15:31,159 they felt so secure in. Sobhanah Lah, imagine a rock, a boulder, 179 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,559 a mountain like a boulder, and here comes a man and with his 180 00:15:33,759 --> 00:15:37,440 thumb as though this is the play dough let the children play with. And 181 00:15:37,559 --> 00:15:43,279 he is just, you know, pushing it. And there is something just 182 00:15:43,399 --> 00:15:46,639 like play dough, a cavity being created because of his thumb being pushed into 183 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,799 a rock. That's how powerful they were. And alas is when they made 184 00:15:50,879 --> 00:15:56,000 their houses of rock at the top of the mountains, they felt so secure. 185 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,799 What did they begin to say? Nothing can harm us, not at 186 00:16:00,799 --> 00:16:06,639 all. Remember those Titanics and those challenges that have been destroyed by a La 187 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:11,559 Suhanahuatala people need to learn a lesson across the globe. The minute you try 188 00:16:11,639 --> 00:16:17,440 to defy the maker, it's no go area nothing, No matter how sophisticated 189 00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:22,440 you are, no matter how high in technology you are. When you utter 190 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,720 words of blasphemy, it is the end of the road. Finished. The 191 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,039 chapter closed, Allahu Akaba, and Allah has shown us this in the past 192 00:16:30,159 --> 00:16:33,639 and in the present. Whenever people have uttered words of this nature, they 193 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:38,879 have been destroyed. As we said yesterday, the word used was destruction. 194 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:48,360 To smithereens. You know what Allah says about the people of ah matadarami shai 195 00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:57,840 in a tatalai inland Islan w came on the wind that blew that tornado, 196 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,799 the fierce wind. Every single thing that it touched, it destroyed it to 197 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:10,519 smithereens aramm meaning complete destruction, although as though it was already decomposed into the 198 00:17:10,559 --> 00:17:15,599 ground. That's the wind. That's a lot Subhanna huata alah alas supannah hu 199 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,240 to Allah grant us a lesson, so alas is. These people had homes, 200 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,920 they felt so secure. What will destroy us? Nothing? The wind 201 00:17:22,039 --> 00:17:26,359 will not destroy us because this is rock. Listen carefully, because at the 202 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,599 end we're going to need to remember what was said. Now. The wind 203 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,920 won't destroy us because this is rock. The water cannot destroy us because this 204 00:17:34,039 --> 00:17:37,480 is at the top of the mountain. And what else can destroy us? 205 00:17:37,759 --> 00:17:41,240 If the earth is going to shake, this is a rock. It will 206 00:17:41,279 --> 00:17:44,200 remain in one piece. It can't destroy us. So they were happy. 207 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,839 Am mean, they felt very secure. So alas supannah huata alas is Salah 208 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:53,079 haleehi Salam who was also from a wealthy family. He was a very strong 209 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,319 man, extremely intelligent, very very bright, and they knew it because they 210 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:02,200 were preparing him to become a leader. He said, if pla a lahum 211 00:18:02,319 --> 00:18:08,559 ahum sali hun alah tata he says, or their brother Salah told them, 212 00:18:08,759 --> 00:18:12,240 are you not going to be fearing a las subnahu ada? Don't you fear 213 00:18:12,279 --> 00:18:18,640 a punishment that will come to you in mila kum rasulun. And I have 214 00:18:18,799 --> 00:18:26,799 been sent as an honest and trustworthy messenger unto you fatapu lah well out to 215 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:32,200 your own So fear Allah, fear your maker and follow what I have to 216 00:18:32,319 --> 00:18:38,160 say because I have his message. Wama as Kumar alan him in Agile in 217 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:45,759 Aigeria. In Lahlah, I'm being m I'm not asking from you any sense, 218 00:18:47,079 --> 00:18:51,200 nothing, no recompense at all. My reward will be with a llah. 219 00:18:51,279 --> 00:18:53,319 Look we get to that point again. Every messenger is saying, I 220 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,720 don't want anything material from you. They did not to the degree that the 221 00:18:57,759 --> 00:19:03,039 prophets are allaho Alai seldom says with us the prophets it is prohibited to eat 222 00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:07,680 a charity. We're not allowed. You cannot give a charity to the messenger 223 00:19:07,319 --> 00:19:14,279 or to his family members. No, because alas Supannah howat Alan makes mentioned 224 00:19:14,279 --> 00:19:19,720 in the pan of how the religious folk of other faiths have made their religion 225 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:25,200 a money making rackets. Literally, you enter that church, for example, 226 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,559 you pay so much. The richest person there is the priests or the bishop 227 00:19:30,519 --> 00:19:36,359 loaded marshal llah. That is why nowadays in our countries, if a person 228 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,559 doesn't have faith and belief and they want to become rich, first thing you 229 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,920 do open a churchho akaba. It's better than a touch shop, better than 230 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:47,680 anything else, believe me, better than dealing in the stock market laho akaba. 231 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,359 So for that reason, alas Supana howat Alah warns us to say that 232 00:19:51,519 --> 00:19:55,519 true men of religion they will not be greedy. They will not be people 233 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,319 running after wealth. Allah will take care of them. Alas Supannah, howat 234 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:06,119 Alah grant us contentment. Then alas subhanahata Ala says thereafter that they looked at 235 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,440 him and they were shocked. Shocked while listen to what they said, Call 236 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:26,759 yeah, Sally, oh God Uncottaphine, Marjoua kabela atta Buddhamaya owner Akabani. 237 00:20:26,839 --> 00:20:30,480 They said, oh Sally, we had so much hope in you. We 238 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:36,720 were busy preparing you to make you our leader. How can you now come 239 00:20:36,839 --> 00:20:40,759 to us and stop us from what our forefathers have been doing. All along 240 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,640 we had hope in you. Now you decided to become a priest. You 241 00:20:44,759 --> 00:20:48,240 decided to become someone who wants to preach to us. You're claiming to be 242 00:20:48,319 --> 00:20:52,400 a messenger. So they lost hope in him, but they had hope moments 243 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,839 before he uttered those words. What happens to us, my beloved brothers and 244 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:03,640 sisters, listen to blynd. Sometimes you have an intelligent child, you send 245 00:21:03,759 --> 00:21:07,319 him to become a doctor. Why he's too sharp? And then you have 246 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,160 one who struggling at school. Ah, he must become a chef. Let 247 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,799 him send him today, Oh love am I right. Let's be honest. 248 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,880 Let us face the facts and one lie. If you find an intelligent child 249 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,880 wanting to turn to become a chef, for example, people at in some 250 00:21:25,079 --> 00:21:26,759 homes, they'll discourage, No, no, what you're gonna earn. I 251 00:21:27,039 --> 00:21:33,599 know of cases myself of people who've been so fortunate, so fortunate in that 252 00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:40,440 they were inclining towards studying the religion. Their parents stopped them and blocked them 253 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:41,920 and said, what you're gonna earn? Until they convinced them that you know 254 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,359 what, these molanas that are here, they don't have any money. Look 255 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,759 at their cars. They're all driving little Toyota Corollas of nineteen ninety six. 256 00:21:49,759 --> 00:21:55,480 Yes, that's the statement being made, exactly what they told Sally hale Issalam. 257 00:21:55,559 --> 00:21:59,920 Look at it being repeated again. Yeah, saleh ho father coll Telphine 258 00:22:00,079 --> 00:22:06,440 nahmamojo kbanaha. Oh Sally, you had such good education, meaning you were 259 00:22:06,519 --> 00:22:08,680 top you, so intelligent and so on. We had so much hope in 260 00:22:08,759 --> 00:22:12,160 you. You want to choose this path, why don't you choose our path? 261 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,039 Will make you loaded? Laho akaba. Look at that. Look at 262 00:22:15,079 --> 00:22:21,039 the statements. We need to learn to encourage our children and we need to 263 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:26,920 know that wealth is not everything. There are people who have reserved their places 264 00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:30,440 in paradise who have never lived in a home. They've only spent their time 265 00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:37,799 under the trees and intense because Jana and Paradise is not reserved for those who 266 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,279 had money in this world. No, Wi, you be happy with what 267 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,799 alas subhanahamat Al has given us. May alasu panahamat Allah grant us sustenance that 268 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,279 is good for us, and may he grant us in shallah a comfortable life 269 00:22:49,519 --> 00:22:53,480 and a comfortable asherah. I see that I mean is loud Mashallah. We 270 00:22:53,559 --> 00:22:56,119 said that yesterday, and well, it's a fact, and it's good. 271 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,960 It's very good that we say it loudly because we need it in shah. 272 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,440 From a loss of hannahwa to alah so a loss of Hannah. Howat Alah 273 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:08,440 says they told him, you telling us that we should leave what our forefathers 274 00:23:08,519 --> 00:23:12,599 have been doing all along. We have doubts in what you're saying. You're 275 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:19,680 not telling us the truth. We have doubt in anlafisia kim him matad on 276 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:29,160 inlaihim MOORI, we are in doubt regarding that which you are calling us towards. 277 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,640 We are in cleaned dout. So he continued telling his people, Look, 278 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,200 my people, don't be in doubt. I am the messenger and I 279 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,440 am warning you that worship Allah alone. What are you going to lose? 280 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,039 What are you going to lose? I'm telling you, worship your maker. 281 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:47,119 You can enjoy what you have, but worship your maker. Stop worshiping idols, 282 00:23:47,319 --> 00:23:51,599 stop worshiping people, and do not worship the rich from amongst you. 283 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,519 Because they had a problem. They used to worship the rich from amongst them, 284 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,559 and this is mentioned in n Quran. They used to worship the rich. 285 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,400 Whatever what the rich said. Everybody was running in that direction. Why 286 00:24:03,519 --> 00:24:06,359 because they were loaded. I made mention of it a few days ago that 287 00:24:06,519 --> 00:24:11,319 sometimes your business partner can control you as a human being because you're making money 288 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,839 through him. So let's be careful. When we're making money through someone, 289 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,839 they should not control you to the degree that you now earn the anger of 290 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,640 Allah and you are blinded religiously just because the man or the woman you've made 291 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:27,960 money through is now your big boss. As of Hanahuatlah grant us the understanding 292 00:24:29,039 --> 00:24:33,680 that he is the supreme boss I mean, I mean so Ala Suhannah howat 293 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:47,720 Ala says. He reminded them what cor in Jama, I mean koum in 294 00:24:48,000 --> 00:25:03,480 our messa what and he and Jimba father kor Allah HeLa in our old emove 295 00:25:03,599 --> 00:25:11,079 cedy. Oh, my people, remember that Allah has made you successes after 296 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:17,880 the people of d whom he destroyed. And Allah Suhanna huat Allah has granted 297 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:25,680 you so much that He has given you abodes on this earth, such that 298 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:30,079 you have taken homes, you have built your castles in the valleys, and 299 00:25:30,279 --> 00:25:36,920 on top of that you have these resorts or these huge palaces that are made 300 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,799 of a rock in the top of the mountains, on the tops of the 301 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:45,400 mountains. So my people remember, turned to Allah what he did to Art, 302 00:25:45,039 --> 00:25:48,599 it is not impossible that he can do it to you. What was 303 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:55,960 the response? They began to say that you are a madman, you're a 304 00:25:56,039 --> 00:26:00,319 magician, You're a madman. The same this man is mad, this man 305 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,400 is a magician. These were different people. But look as though they were 306 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:10,720 trained in the same varsity, as though they were trained in the same college. 307 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:17,839 Why because their lecturer was Chaipan, really Chapan, I believe what did 308 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,880 he do listen carefully because he does it to us. He seemed that this 309 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,920 plan works. Let me use it again, exactly the same plan, again 310 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,240 and again and again and again, and it kept on working, and it 311 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,160 is working to this day with many people around us. All say God the 312 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,480 Muslim omar, and may he grant he dire to those who don't see the 313 00:26:36,559 --> 00:26:41,359 light. So let's never fall pray to Chaipan. Same plan used again. 314 00:26:41,519 --> 00:26:44,799 This is why it's repeated in the Qoran. So alas subhanahmach Ala says, 315 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:52,680 call in a mataman almost a hurry. You are a person who's a magician. 316 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,400 You're doing you're casting spells on people. Because there were some people who 317 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,920 started listening to him. Few people started listening to him, and he started 318 00:27:00,079 --> 00:27:03,440 having a following sally hallehsla to us salam. But who were they who followed 319 00:27:03,519 --> 00:27:07,319 him? The poor, those who did not have authority. Because remember one 320 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,319 thing, when a person doesn't really have much, by him following the right 321 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,759 path, he knows he's not going to lose anything material as it is, 322 00:27:15,839 --> 00:27:19,519 he doesn't have much. But when someone has a lot, a lot, 323 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,480 and he is being told to change his own lifestyle, he thinks to himself, 324 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,799 but I'm going to lose all this as it is. I'm sitting comfy 325 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:32,119 alhamdulillah. I'm very comfortable. Everything is okay here, So why should I 326 00:27:32,279 --> 00:27:34,240 change? Remember that is when we should be changing for the sake of Allah. 327 00:27:34,599 --> 00:27:38,599 We won't lose anything. We will in fact build our afia. So 328 00:27:38,759 --> 00:27:51,079 then they told him abasha on mean tabio in even la fali, so a 329 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,079 man just like us, one of us, we should follow him. No, 330 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,079 this is a human being like us. What's the difference between us and 331 00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:00,240 him? Same thing like the previous nations, the loss of Hannah howatch analysis. 332 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:06,279 On top of that, they said, ma t in la basham mis 333 00:28:06,519 --> 00:28:08,720 nona, you are a human being just like us, and we want to 334 00:28:08,799 --> 00:28:18,359 ask you something f tbi thin in tamino sadi. If you are truthful osaleh, 335 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:23,039 we want you to bring us a sign we want to sign. If 336 00:28:23,079 --> 00:28:26,079 you're truthful, we want to sign what type of a sign. Well, 337 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:32,119 we will decide what sign and we're going to get back to you. Imagine 338 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:33,720 they wanted. According to them, we want to sign and we will get 339 00:28:33,759 --> 00:28:38,480 back to you. So a loss of Hannah Howatch analysis. The themodo bind 340 00:28:40,359 --> 00:28:42,359 the people of the mood. The mood is the name of the people the 341 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:49,119 tribe Alas is the mood they BELI like the warners, the word noddle is 342 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,319 used the warners. People came to warn them. The messenger was sent to 343 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,039 warn them, and as the messenger was warning them, those who followed the 344 00:28:57,119 --> 00:29:03,680 messenger were also warning. There were discussions in this case between the followers of 345 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:10,160 Saleh and those who didn't follow him from the same community. So alas hanahuata 346 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:15,319 Ala says again he made mention of the gifts of all upon them, and 347 00:29:15,359 --> 00:29:18,480 he says, look, Allah is the one who provided you a two trakona 348 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:36,279 femaaamani fijan nati was moreanaugh. How do what an hatona mean? Energy? 349 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:44,440 Balibu tell Feri Salih Salam says, oh, my people, do you think 350 00:29:44,599 --> 00:29:49,559 that you're going to be left very safe and secure in your condition? You 351 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:56,000 have these gardens, you have these rivers and these springs that are gushing for 352 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,799 you, have all these crops. You have all these palms that I hear, 353 00:30:00,279 --> 00:30:03,640 you have all these dwellings in the mountains that you have made with your 354 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,319 own hands. Allahs made them soft for you. Do you think you are 355 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,920 going to be secure in this from the one who has given it to you? 356 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,039 And they were very happy. They said, yes, we will be 357 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:19,680 very secure. Nobody can harm us. Who can harm USh Akma? They 358 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:25,359 went to Salah they told him, Oh Salleh, why should we follow you? 359 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:30,640 You must follow us. Look at the statement why should we follow you? 360 00:30:30,079 --> 00:30:34,559 You must follow us. Leave your ways and come back to our ways. 361 00:30:34,799 --> 00:30:40,559 And you see how you will be successful. Up to this moment, 362 00:30:41,079 --> 00:30:45,880 whether it is on an international level or on a small scale within community, 363 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:51,480 you find wealthy people thinking that it is their right to dictate the pace to 364 00:30:51,559 --> 00:30:55,759 the whole community as to how the religion should operate to this day. They 365 00:30:55,839 --> 00:31:00,680 are none other than the army of Iblis. They are none other than those 366 00:31:00,839 --> 00:31:04,240 who have not learned a lesson from the Koran. They probably don't even know 367 00:31:04,359 --> 00:31:10,240 that the Koran exists. Alas Supannah howat Ala Granta's lessen. Remember, these 368 00:31:10,279 --> 00:31:14,200 stories are not here as fairy tales. They are here for us to current 369 00:31:14,319 --> 00:31:17,799 tie every verse and to put it into our lives. That's why these stories 370 00:31:17,839 --> 00:31:22,640 are here. So Alas Supannahwatalya says, these are the people over and above 371 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:27,599 that they said, okay, we now know what we want. You see 372 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:33,799 this huge rock that's here. We want you to split it into two and 373 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,319 from the inside must come out a camera. The camera must be a female. 374 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,119 Look at this, now, you be honest with me. Something. 375 00:31:41,279 --> 00:31:47,680 They believe that this is totally impossible. So salahala Sanam's listening to them. 376 00:31:47,759 --> 00:31:51,960 As he's listening, they had a feeling this man might be thinking he's going 377 00:31:52,039 --> 00:31:53,960 to come with this, So let's make it more difficult. The camel must 378 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:59,039 be pregnant. Not only that, it must be dark red in color, 379 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,039 rich red color. Not only that, it must have an appetite. It 380 00:32:02,119 --> 00:32:06,519 must be bigger than all the camels we've ever seen. It must have an 381 00:32:06,519 --> 00:32:08,680 appetite, it must come. It must be strong and solid, and it 382 00:32:08,799 --> 00:32:14,000 must be a sign for us sign we want to see. Salahala Salam says, 383 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,680 okay, I will call Allah sabhanahua ta alah, and I'm going to 384 00:32:16,759 --> 00:32:22,319 tell him. But there's one condition. Whenever people have asked for a sign 385 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:28,200 and Allah sends the sign, it's over. It's over, meaning whoever does 386 00:32:28,319 --> 00:32:30,680 not believe after that, And this is mentioned in many places in the Quran. 387 00:32:31,079 --> 00:32:34,960 When it came to the people of Jesus made peace be upon him. 388 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,200 He told them that, look, if I'm going to come with this laid 389 00:32:38,279 --> 00:32:43,559 table cloth, then whoever doesn't believe after that they will be destroyed. The 390 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,920 same with Mohammad saladah Alahi was seldom The people of Korage told him lao la 391 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:52,599 za alai himalak. Why doesn't Allah send an angel with him to prove that 392 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:58,880 he's right? You know what, Allah says, Wailao sana mala can kobri 393 00:32:59,039 --> 00:33:01,799 al amro. If we had sent an angel, we would have sorted the 394 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:06,480 matter out there, and then whoever didn't believe after they saw it it was 395 00:33:06,559 --> 00:33:09,640 their sign they asking for it. After that, there's nothing left besides destruction. 396 00:33:10,119 --> 00:33:15,640 Imagine someone tells you that if you do this, I will believe, 397 00:33:15,279 --> 00:33:19,480 and they bring you something semi impossible, and you do it and they still 398 00:33:19,519 --> 00:33:22,960 don't believe. Is there anything left? Is there anything left? Nothing? 399 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:27,799 That's according to Allah, I want to draw a very very different lesson from 400 00:33:27,839 --> 00:33:30,480 this. We just came to my mind. Now it's important for us in 401 00:33:30,559 --> 00:33:36,000 our own little levels. Whenever we promise our children something, fulfill it. 402 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,480 What does that mean when you tell your child, you do this, I'll 403 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:43,519 give you a sweet. If they do it, produce the sweet, sohama 404 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,720 lah. And that's why I don't tell them impossible things, because I'm only 405 00:33:46,799 --> 00:33:52,480 main mentioning this because it's come to my mind now that sometimes we tend to 406 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,680 reduce the morale of our children my lying to them. You do this, 407 00:33:55,799 --> 00:34:00,519 I take you for a ride. They do that so willingly, and then 408 00:34:00,559 --> 00:34:04,359 you say no, the ki is not starting. Why why lie for what? 409 00:34:05,359 --> 00:34:07,119 We need to be honest because it will encourage them to do more and 410 00:34:07,239 --> 00:34:10,960 they will know that. You know, I'm aiming somewhere. Alas sunana howat 411 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,480 ala grantas a listen. This is not related to what we've said, but 412 00:34:14,599 --> 00:34:17,440 it came to my mind and I decided to say so. Alas utana Huatlah 413 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:27,760 heard the dua and guess what happened. Lahu akabar lohu akaba ha hinakatu la 414 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,440 hila kumaya. Here is your sheep, Here is your camera. Here it 415 00:34:30,559 --> 00:34:36,559 is the rock split they watching what a camera came out of it? What 416 00:34:37,119 --> 00:34:40,920 they're looking at it huge, big, massive, the biggest camera ever to 417 00:34:42,039 --> 00:34:47,880 be created. There Richard Red in color pregnant laho akaba, lahu akaba. 418 00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:52,480 They're looking at it. The community was split into two, divided. The 419 00:34:52,599 --> 00:34:58,639 majority of them just kept looking. What did they say? What would they 420 00:34:58,679 --> 00:35:02,599 say? Now? Magic? Exactly magic Mashallah. You see we know how 421 00:35:02,639 --> 00:35:06,599 they operated say, look, this is magic. But you asked me. 422 00:35:07,039 --> 00:35:09,400 I made a dua. It came according to what you wanted. Now you 423 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:14,639 want to say magic. But what happened. Some of the people started accepting. 424 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,719 He said, no, we believe you are the messenger. All is 425 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:21,960 one. We don't want to worship anything beside them. So it started working. 426 00:35:22,679 --> 00:35:29,239 Mashall La community divided into two. Now there was a debate because you 427 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,880 find one nabie. He was one nabee with very few people. The numbers 428 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:37,039 started increasing. When the numbers started increasing, these rich people, Alla says 429 00:35:37,079 --> 00:35:42,159 in the Koran, they started debating. Karla Ladinas, tat baom In Callmi 430 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:51,480 Lila Ladinas, tod Refo liman Ahmanamin hum at Muna and asali hm Rusalum mirobi 431 00:35:52,360 --> 00:36:00,639 carlu in Bima si nabi min. The Hohotea, the wealthy, the powerful 432 00:36:01,119 --> 00:36:07,000 from amongst his people told those who were down troddle who had accepted his message, 433 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,320 do you know for certain that Salah is actually a messenger? They said, 434 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:14,159 yes, indeed, we believe in everything he has come with. We 435 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:22,960 believe. So they responded in having lady to be caf on. As for 436 00:36:22,159 --> 00:36:25,519 us, we disbelieve in what you've believed in. We don't want. We're 437 00:36:25,519 --> 00:36:30,639 still happy with what we're sitting with. This guy is a magician. Laho 438 00:36:30,679 --> 00:36:34,719 akbar. Look, nothing could bring them. Why they're drowning in money. 439 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,880 They had wealth that they could live so many lives, and still they would 440 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:44,760 have changed. So to speak, It's like today, if you look at 441 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:49,599 the wealthy people in the world, they have enough wealth that if they gave 442 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,880 ten dollars to every inhabitant of the globe, they still have changed. Loaho 443 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,000 akabar, laho akabar. What are they going to do with it? Well, 444 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:59,840 if they don't worship their maker, they stand no chance, nothing, 445 00:37:00,119 --> 00:37:02,960 no. And I hope anyone has heard this from amongst them in shallah via 446 00:37:04,039 --> 00:37:07,440 whether it is the television or the radios or what have you. Now, 447 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,320 Alas of hanahuwat Alah use us always to be a means of the guidance of 448 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:14,800 people. Remember, the softening of the heart is in the hands of a 449 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,719 loss of hannahawat Alah. We need to ask a lot to soften the hearts. 450 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:22,000 Let's continue with this beautiful story. Alas of hannahawat Ala says, when 451 00:37:22,119 --> 00:37:28,559 that nata, when that camel came down as they wanted it. He told 452 00:37:28,639 --> 00:37:37,199 them, father, Kulfi arld in lahi while a ta'mas soon happy. So 453 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:45,039 in fair huda kumada bun ali, Oh my people, the camera has come, 454 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,199 leave it. Do not harm it at all. If you harm it, 455 00:37:49,679 --> 00:37:53,840 Alas, punishment will overtake you immediately. And he warned them many times. 456 00:37:54,599 --> 00:38:00,559 One verse Alas is a grave punishment will overtake you if you touch that 457 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:07,320 camera. Then a las sub hannahuat Allah says, as you people had requested, 458 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,039 it was a huge camel. It has an appetite. So what will 459 00:38:09,079 --> 00:38:15,559 happen? It will drink from the spring one day and all your camels keep 460 00:38:15,639 --> 00:38:20,760 them on one side, and it will drink whatever it can from the morning 461 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,599 to the evening. The next day, it will go out to graze when 462 00:38:22,599 --> 00:38:30,039 your camels can drink. So we are sharing the days. Whom and ma 463 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:42,599 archisma to bay whom collusive motable inform them that the water will be split between 464 00:38:42,679 --> 00:38:45,719 this one camera and the rest of the camels. One day this one and 465 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,800 the other day the rest of them. That's how it's going to be split. 466 00:38:49,039 --> 00:38:52,079 Nobody is allowed to change that because they had asked for it. Now 467 00:38:52,199 --> 00:38:57,280 they were happy, and they were also unhappy, happy because they'd seen the 468 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,639 sign and it was a living miracle. It is reported that because it was 469 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:06,079 there every day for them to see, it was living in their midst. 470 00:39:06,679 --> 00:39:09,199 Every day, a few people were accepting. Every day, a few people 471 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:13,559 were accepting Saleh. Every day, a few people were coming onto the right 472 00:39:13,639 --> 00:39:16,360 path because every day they're witnessing this camera. They're seeing it's huge, it's 473 00:39:16,519 --> 00:39:24,320 powerful, and this is the camera. And a Lassu hannah Ala says that 474 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:29,960 when sally halea Is Salam came, the community split into two, and that 475 00:39:30,119 --> 00:39:35,440 split was a split of mercy. When Muhammad Salaha Salam came to Khorash, 476 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,719 Khorash divided into two, those who accepted and those who didn't. That disunity 477 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:44,679 was a mercy. It was a split for the right reasons. And from 478 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:54,239 this, let's listen to the verse. While our father as Inamoda Aham Salibodullah 479 00:39:55,159 --> 00:40:05,719 Fium feri Kani of Tsuimu. When we send Saleh to his people to the 480 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:13,639 mud with the message to worship Allah alone, behold immediately they were divided into 481 00:40:13,679 --> 00:40:16,039 two groups, a group four and a group against. There you are, 482 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,760 they were arguing with one another, one saying no, he's wrong, the 483 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,639 other one saying no, he's right. And they had these debates, as 484 00:40:22,679 --> 00:40:25,039 we made mentioned. From this, we learn that whenever there is a man 485 00:40:25,519 --> 00:40:30,920 who comes to the community with justice and with the Qur'an and the Sunnah of 486 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,480 Muhammad, s adalah Ahi was seldom and the truth, and he reminds us 487 00:40:34,519 --> 00:40:38,679 in a similar way that the previous prophets have reminded us. And if that 488 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:45,119 causes a division, that division is healthy. It's not unhealthy. Although we 489 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:49,760 are meant to be staying as one umah as far as possible, but at 490 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,679 times if all of us are astray, it's better that ten be on the 491 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,599 right path than everybody else be astray. May alasu Hannah hawatala, grant us 492 00:40:55,960 --> 00:41:00,320 unity. May alas uh Hannah howatala unite the Muslim um upon la illah la 493 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:05,760 lah ahmadnasulu la s la lah a. That is one statement that will bring 494 00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,079 us together. And that is one statement that we can come together for. 495 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:13,480 It is the unifying statement. It is the only statement that will unite us. 496 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,239 A loss of Hannah houa ta ala open our doors. Then alas of 497 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:23,159 Hannah Howat Alah says whereafter that, these people they got tired with this camel 498 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:27,960 because it was drinking. And now they were getting tired. Whenever the camera 499 00:41:28,079 --> 00:41:30,639 was walking, their cameras ran away. Whenever the camera was walking, the 500 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:37,079 cattle ran away the cattle. So they started a rumor in the society, 501 00:41:37,159 --> 00:41:42,239 in the community that now we need to sort this camel out. One man 502 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,559 decided that I want to do something here and we need to sort it out. 503 00:41:46,679 --> 00:41:50,519 He managed to get support of another man. The two of them got 504 00:41:50,559 --> 00:41:53,199 support of another seven people there were nine in total, and they decided, 505 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:58,599 we're going to kill this camera. And news started spreading that people are deciding 506 00:41:58,679 --> 00:42:01,519 to kill the camera. So Salah Alam warned them again, you dare touch 507 00:42:01,599 --> 00:42:05,960 the camera. If you touch the camera, there will be punishment coming. 508 00:42:06,039 --> 00:42:09,400 It will overtake you. So it was a huge camera. Even the people 509 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:14,320 were slightly frightened, although they were huge themselves. So this one man goes 510 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:19,000 to the front of it. Alas is faaka wakata. Well, I'll tell 511 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:24,440 a many robbed him. What did he do? He threw an arrow into 512 00:42:24,599 --> 00:42:30,239 the front leg of this camera, and the other man went in and he 513 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:34,480 slit its muscle, and a few of them went in when it dropped, 514 00:42:34,679 --> 00:42:37,599 and they killed it. Lah, come on, they killed the camera. 515 00:42:37,039 --> 00:42:40,679 They're killing the sign of Allah that they had asked for. They destroyed it. 516 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,920 And when they destroyed it, the rest of the people were cheering them 517 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:49,000 on happening that now our camels can drink every day way one day, one 518 00:42:49,079 --> 00:42:52,519 day. Were tired of that our cameras can drink every day, and now 519 00:42:52,559 --> 00:42:54,519 we've got rid of this. And Salah halla is Salam told them, In 520 00:42:54,639 --> 00:42:58,159 fact, they told Sally. Once they killed it, they said, right, 521 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,840 come here, we want to tell you one thing. We want to 522 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:12,119 challenge you for a karao and amrira be him waka yeah Sali tina Habi mater 523 00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:19,880 donna in ktamin almal sani. They said, oh, Saleh, here is 524 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,440 what we've done to this camel. Now bring the punishment that you were promising 525 00:43:22,559 --> 00:43:34,440 us. So Alas Suhanna Ala revealed immediately to Saleh ca la tamatadi kalaa kawa. 526 00:43:34,599 --> 00:43:40,920 Don ryomak remain in your houses for three days. That's it. It's 527 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:45,360 a promise of Allah. Not more than three days, you'll be destroyed. 528 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:50,639 Now they looked at their houses. They were happy. Remember what they said, 529 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,480 what is Allah going to send to us? What can he send flats? 530 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:58,000 We have something so high, so strong? Can he send to us? 531 00:43:58,599 --> 00:44:01,400 When we have rock made of rock? And so on? They were 532 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:07,480 so happy, and sally Hala is Salam was instructed by Allah Subhannah howatala to 533 00:44:07,559 --> 00:44:10,960 leave the place. He was instructed leave because now the punishment was going to 534 00:44:12,039 --> 00:44:14,960 come. These people were happy they got rid of the man. Do you 535 00:44:15,039 --> 00:44:19,679 see what happens when they were happy. They were happy for the wrong reasons 536 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:25,559 because they succeeded to chase the true leader that they had from their own community. 537 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,199 When they chased him away, they were excited. Now we can sit 538 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:34,440 and we can have our own party. There we are. The man is 539 00:44:34,519 --> 00:44:37,960 gone. They did not realize that that is your destruction. You are, 540 00:44:38,039 --> 00:44:42,400 at last, not him. He's going to go and be saved by Allah. 541 00:44:42,559 --> 00:44:46,679 Subhanah, howat Aalah, may Allah say godess allas Suhnah howat Alah grant 542 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:51,599 us a direct lesson from that, and may allasu Hanah howat Alah open our 543 00:44:51,639 --> 00:44:58,000 thinking. So the first day their color changed the color of their faces, 544 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,320 all of them, the whole community, all the faces. One narration says 545 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:06,760 they became yellow, and another one says they became red. Let's say they 546 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,719 became yellow. They started crying. Second day they became red. Third day 547 00:45:10,159 --> 00:45:14,800 they became black. Faces became black. The whole community. They were crying. 548 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,280 They didn't know what to do. And what did they say? They 549 00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:22,119 said, these are days of bad omen. These are days of bad omen. 550 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:27,119 But now there was something else that had happened just before sala Halleh his 551 00:45:27,119 --> 00:45:34,760 Salam left. Something happened the evening before he went. These nine people got 552 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:47,639 together, and what did they do? Carutaka samuhila bay yet alla throm malanapali 553 00:45:49,119 --> 00:45:58,800 he Marshahi dinner a mahalik who in alasadin pu. They swore an oath between 554 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:02,039 the nine of them. Tonight we want to kill Saleh and his whole family. 555 00:46:05,079 --> 00:46:07,519 Tonight we want to kill him and his family. And in the morning 556 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:13,360 we will tell everybody that we don't know anything. We will pretend like we 557 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:20,039 are one of them. So alas is Wama karma, Karnama, Karnama kra 558 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:28,719 wahum lash. They planned their planning, and we planned our planning. Alas 559 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,840 is, we had our plan. They had their plan, and then Alasses 560 00:46:32,679 --> 00:46:40,519 foul kaifa can ah ka back to mckinne him take a look at what was 561 00:46:40,639 --> 00:46:45,840 the result of their own plot. They plotted the downfall of the one who 562 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:52,400 was bringing them towards goodness, and Alass says, we in return destroyed them 563 00:46:52,639 --> 00:46:59,719 completely. How did the destruction come? Three days past? They still didn't 564 00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:01,760 see the punishment, besides the fact that their faces were changing and they were 565 00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:06,280 crying, and they knew something was happening. So they went into their dwellings. 566 00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,239 Listen carefully. They went into their dwellings safe, secure, those rock 567 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:15,280 homes, and they were now secures. And Alas of Hannah to Ala sent 568 00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:22,400 them something he's never sent before. Alas of Hannahoa to Ala says in the 569 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:29,719 Quran for Aha that Homos Sawyer had to almost behaved. We sent them a 570 00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:34,599 sound wave in the morning. What was a sound wave? They started hearing 571 00:47:34,639 --> 00:47:38,960 a sound The sound became louder louder louder, until each one of them were 572 00:47:39,159 --> 00:47:44,920 curled up because of the loudness of the sound, and the sound started shaking 573 00:47:45,159 --> 00:47:51,320 their whole community, the nation was shaking, and the sound itself was It 574 00:47:51,519 --> 00:47:59,559 created a tremor, and that sound resulted in their hearts dropping and they died 575 00:47:59,639 --> 00:48:02,719 on the spot with the sound. Just what sound? Imagine the flood didn't 576 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:07,239 come, the wind didn't come, just a sound. Alas is, we 577 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,440 destroyed them because the sound resulted in the tremor. And the tremor is a 578 00:48:10,519 --> 00:48:19,559 rajivah, and the rajivah and the sound, they were destroyed completely amazing. 579 00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:24,519 Do you know today this is a fact the powers of the world are studying 580 00:48:27,079 --> 00:48:32,519 creating weapons out of sound. But I see someone nodding their heads. We 581 00:48:32,679 --> 00:48:38,760 know this why because they've realized now that large sound it shakes. Have you 582 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:43,239 ever had someone blasting their beat right next to you in a motor vehicle? 583 00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,920 What happens? Your car shakes? Yes? Did you ever think that sound 584 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:51,559 can shake the ground? Where did they get it from? Here? Alas 585 00:48:51,679 --> 00:48:54,960 of hanah, howat Ala used it in the past. He destroyed them completely 586 00:48:55,440 --> 00:49:01,519 again and a loss of hanahawata Allah uses some power of words. He says 587 00:49:02,519 --> 00:49:13,679 in uh a sudden I had ahidaka hashim. We sent them one loud sound 588 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:17,159 wave and they became rubble. Do you know what is rubble? Something that 589 00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:22,639 the builders use when they want to build a place, They use rubble. 590 00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:28,400 That rubble completely destroyed, totally out into smithereens. Once again, another word, 591 00:49:28,599 --> 00:49:30,159 and I think a lot of us would know the of by heart. 592 00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:40,360 Alas is in cana bad them tamoud. They belied their messenger by being evil 593 00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:51,920 and by engaging in all bad he asha. They sent the one cursed person 594 00:49:52,280 --> 00:50:00,119 to go and kill that camera fatala lamasahala he was yeah. So the messenger 595 00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:06,119 of Allah told them that is the camel of Allah. Don't touch it and 596 00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:12,960 let it drink on its day of drinking. Fakabo fak ha. They belied 597 00:50:13,079 --> 00:50:19,159 him and they killed that camera. Alas is for dam damma allah akbar. 598 00:50:19,199 --> 00:50:25,639 Do you know what that means? Fa dam dama lai him rambo the being 599 00:50:27,199 --> 00:50:34,519 first a wa alas as. We destroyed them totally as a result of that, 600 00:50:35,199 --> 00:50:37,480 so that they were now destroyed in the same way that they destroyed the 601 00:50:37,599 --> 00:50:43,239 camera. Destruction. Look at that word. I'm sure we've all heard it 602 00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:45,840 dumb dumb. Now you know, dumb dam means complete destruction, total, 603 00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:53,639 without any form of exception, nothing left. Then alas suhnahuatalysis fatil kabuyo to 604 00:50:53,840 --> 00:51:00,000 hum jawi a bimala, there are their homes, Go and have a people 605 00:51:00,039 --> 00:51:04,480 at their homes because of their oppression. Go and see empty homes as though 606 00:51:04,519 --> 00:51:07,760 they'd never been lived in before. Nothing. So who was Allah saying this 607 00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:13,599 to Muhammad Salaa? He says, the homes the dwellings of the mood, 608 00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:17,719 They are still there now for your information, Sally hala is Salam. After 609 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:22,519 that went back, when everything was destroyed. He went back. These people 610 00:51:22,599 --> 00:51:27,639 were dead, killed gon and Salah hala Is Slam looks at his people and 611 00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:30,280 he says, yeah, tell me now they're gone, they dead, But 612 00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:37,440 he's still addressing them. La caada ab laoto kum ri sala taran bi juannasahtu 613 00:51:37,559 --> 00:51:45,400 la coum juaa ki lah to him born and say, oh, my people, 614 00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:51,400 I conveyed the message to you of my rob He gave it to me 615 00:51:51,559 --> 00:51:55,719 to give you. I gave you and I advised you. But very sadly 616 00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,519 you do not like people who advise you. So now look at what has 617 00:52:00,559 --> 00:52:06,159 happened Allah to hit boone and larsi hin. Anyone who corrects you you don't 618 00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,159 like them, what lesson do we draw from them? My beloved brothers and 619 00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:14,639 sisters. Whenever we are corrected, do not feel bad. Never, whether 620 00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:17,079 it's in the home, whether it's at the madrasa, whether it's at school, 621 00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:22,719 whether it's on a community level, Whenever and wherever. If someone corrects 622 00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,960 you and they bring to your attention something where you have heard, you should 623 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,360 be happy because if you feel sad alas says, there were people before you 624 00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:36,440 who used to dislike those who advised them. The result of it was destruction. 625 00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:42,000 Now alasuhnahuatla safeguardess. The last point I'd like to mention this evening before 626 00:52:42,039 --> 00:52:45,719 we actually close, is what should happen if we were to go there? 627 00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:50,320 Are we allowed to go to Maday and Salah. It's not very far from 628 00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,760 Madina Munoara. If you want to take a taxi there, it's only three 629 00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:59,280 hours away or four maximum. Yes, we are allowed to go there. 630 00:52:59,559 --> 00:53:02,800 The proper Sola Aslam passed there with his companions and this narration is in Sai 631 00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:08,559 Albuhari and his companions. They looked at this the ruins of the people of 632 00:53:08,639 --> 00:53:12,679 the mood, and there were some wells there. They took some water, 633 00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,679 and they were making their dough, and they had made some bread with it. 634 00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,920 And when they brought it to the prophets of a Salem, he instructed 635 00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:22,400 them to take it back and throw it back. He says, not from 636 00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,679 that well. No. They went a little bit further and there was a 637 00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:29,000 well from which the camel used to drink. He asked them to take the 638 00:53:29,079 --> 00:53:36,760 water from them subhan a lah. And this is why the prophet Salala Islam 639 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:40,840 says, do not go there or pass there accepting the condition of crying. 640 00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,880 When you want to go there. You don't go there as a tourist, 641 00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:50,800 you know, with your miniskirts and with your heavy sun hats, the hair 642 00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:54,079 showing everything happening, sunglasses and me there taking photos smiling. You know, 643 00:53:54,199 --> 00:54:00,480 behind in the background is this ruin of no, that's not allowed. The 644 00:54:00,559 --> 00:54:04,400 prophet Salada seldom says no. When you pass by, it should be a 645 00:54:04,519 --> 00:54:07,480 lesson. Do you know what the parancea is? If you go there, 646 00:54:07,599 --> 00:54:12,320 it will seem that no one ever lived there. Yet those who lived there 647 00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,800 were far more powerful than all of you put together. Listen, and really, 648 00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:20,360 if you go there, you will notice it's empty, it's hollow, 649 00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,079 It's it's like something subhanah lai. You might tell yourself, it's this just 650 00:54:23,159 --> 00:54:29,000 a museum, Parallah says through the lips of Muhammad Salaha, and he was 651 00:54:29,039 --> 00:54:31,360 sellen. You are allowed to go there to learn a lesson, nothing else. 652 00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:35,440 You go and see it, Yes, it should shake you up. 653 00:54:35,679 --> 00:54:39,119 You should be trembling. You should know the story. This is why with 654 00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:44,000 us nowadays, Chetan comes and he makes us want to go to the Pyramids 655 00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,760 as a tourist, not to learn anything. And we go then to Petra, 656 00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:52,320 and what did we learn? I shallah? We enjoy ourselves. Hey, 657 00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:54,760 it was a very nice holiday. We enjoyed it.
