 شکر ، آپ نے اللہ و جعور ہوجانے کی realize ہوتی ہے ایس tiesی ashg rồi When you are an oppressor or a wrongdoer, you will definitely face the darkness of your action. You will face the darkness of your deeds, whether you like it or not. And in this particular case, Allah is not speaking about those who are non-believers or disbelievers alone, but there are two types of oppression, two types of wrongdoing. The ultimate wrongdoing is known as shirk, that which is unacceptable by Allah. When you, for example, perpetrate a crime against Allah by worshipping deities with Allah or besides Allah, Allah says, you know what, أنا اغنا شركائے عانی شرکی من عملا اشرکہ فیهی معی غیری ترکتو هو شرکا. You want to associate a partner in this deal or act of worship with me, I am the most independent of partners. You know what, I don't need the deal. Give it all to the partner. I don't want it. Imagine when you're a wealthy person, multimillionaire and someone tells you, OK, I've got ten dollars here. You know five is for that guy and five for you. The wealthy guy will say, give all ten to him. What do I need the ten for? So when you engage in an act of worship, make sure you understand it's only for Allah. Allah says, if you associated a partner with me in that act of worship, I don't need it. Give all ten dollars to that guy. Subhan Allah. What an explanation. What wording in the Hadith Qudsi of Allah Subhanahu و تعالی. May Allah grant us understanding. But the second type of oppression and wrongdoing is amongst each other. When you do wrong amongst each other, when I do wrong to you, I have to taste the result of that wrong. Either now or later on, but in my life before I die. And then after I die. Why in my life? Why? Why is it that Allah doesn't just leave it for the day of judgment? Because man's nature is such that when someone does wrong to him, he wants to see the effect of it. That's man's nature. He wants to see, wow, this guy is doing so much wrong. He's getting away with murder. He's done so much. But we'd like to see that Allah is doing something about this. Now, it might not happen in my life if I was oppressed. But definitely in the life of the oppressor. The one who did wrong, definitely in his life, he will taste it in one way or another. Now, why am I saying this evening in Salatul Isha intentionally I read from Suratul Furqan because it brings about comfort to the heart. Suratul Furqan is one of the most beautiful Suras in the Qur'an. You ask the Huffa, they enjoy reading it even if they don't know its meaning. What about those who know the meaning? Al Furqan was revealed in Makkah at a time when the Khufar of Quraish were accusing Rasulullah with so many accusations. They harmed him. They said, you know what? You are a liar. You are a womanizer. You have done this. You have done that. You are after money. You are after power. And they started harming him. They started accusing him. They even murdered some of his companions. They started threatening them. And you know what? There was an issue. What was the issue? As much as the believers in Makkah knew that we are on the straight path. They knew we are on the straight path. But they wanted some form of comfort from Allah. I mean I could be a strong woman. But when I see things wrong happening every single day. How long am I going to be able to tolerate this? Or how long am I going to be able to stay with it? It might work on my iman. Shaytan may be able to come and try his tricks with me. Even though he may not succeed. But it's easy for those to shake who have been shaken for a long long time. That's why the Quran says وَزُلْزِلُوا حَتَّا يَقُولَ الْرَّسُولُ وَلَّدِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَهُ مَتَا نَسْرُ اللَّهِ اللہ says ڈالا اِنَّ نَسْرَ اللَّهِ قَرِبِ اللہ tested the religious people. اللہ tested the prophets. اللہ tested the greatest of the great. So much that there came a time when they who were prophets of Allah and the pious who were the companions of those prophets, they began to ask when is the help of Allah going to come. If that is being asked by the prophets and by the pious who are we, may Allah help us. So Allah says don't worry. When that happens and you are shaken, we have tested you. If you still haven't lost your faith, our help is nia. What is the meaning of nia? Allah knows. Nia could be today, tomorrow, a year, two years, five years. But the end result is in your favor. Do not doubt that. Do not doubt that. Never ever doubt the justice of Allah. Because it has to come. So Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ in سورة الفرقان He tells Rasulullahﷺ clearly look, We will punish these people in the Akhira. You know how badly we are going to tell you how badly. So Allah says when Jahannam sees them, Jahannam will start crackling, crackling. You see sometimes people try to tease and mock. You know when you see someone and you know that they are for example oppressive. There is a hadith which says a sign of Qiyamah is اِن یکرم الرجولو مخافة شرح. A man will be honored. Not because he deserves honor because we fear his backlash. When you see that happening, you know Qiyamah is not far. Today you say Salam علیکم جی. How are you brother? Not because you want to greet him. But because you know this man if you don't he can do something to you that will unnecessarily harm you. That's a sign of Qiyamah to honor a man because he deserves honor is nobility. But to honor a man who is not worth looking at is a sign of Qiyamah. Sign of Qiyamah. Why are you honoring him? Why do you listen etc. Because the hadith says it's a sign of Qiyamah. مخافة شرح. We are fearing maybe if we don't do this he might harm us. So we have no option. So the Prophetﷺ Allah knows he was upon the highest level. So Allah says in the same way they were intimidating. جہنم the crackle will come and intimidate them. Like tell me this is where you're coming. Who is saying this? جہنم itself is cracking. اِذارا اتھو مِمْ مَکَانِ دَعِدِ سَمِعُ لَهَا تَغَيْضَا وَزَفِرَا اللہ says when they get closer to جہنم they will hear the sound of the crackle of جہنم welcoming them into that fire and it will become louder as they get closer as though it is saying we were waiting for you for so long you welcome home now Allah protect us Why? Because you used to wrong the people you used to oppress you used to harm I always tell people your colleagues, your family members watch your tongue with them behave with the people understand they are human beings when they raise their hands to Allah to destroy you you're a goner you're a goner we suffer sometimes health sometimes wealth and we don't know why I'm reading my salah I'm giving my zakah because there was a maid that worked for you 5 years ago you accused of something you made her cry tears she said oh God destroy this man you are suffering as a result of the dua that she made because the hadith says اِتھاکِ دا وَتَلْ مَضْلُمْ فَا اِنَّهُ لَیْ سَبَئِنَ ها وَبَئِنَّ اللہِ حِجابِ there is no barrier between the dua that is made against you by someone that you did wrong against in the eyes of Allah between them and Allah no barrier when they make a dua Allah says we will give it to you maybe not now but you will have a day when you are going to see and you are going to say سبحان اللہ oh Allah you are just سبحان اللہ that's why when Jahannam starts intimidating Allah says you know what will be said to them لا تدعو اليوم ثبورا واحدہ و دعو ثبورا كفیرہ on that day they will say oh destruction upon us look at this this is destruction man Allah says not one destruction don't say one destruction you will be destroyed to smithereens totally Allah says we are going to destroy you once and twice and three times and four times how can you burn me ten times I can only burn once Allah says no کلما نضجت جلودوں بدللہوں جلودا غیرہا لیذوک العذاب every time their skins and their flesh is totally burnt we will just replace it with a new one so that they can taste a new all that burning and punishment once more in the dunya someone burns you a little while later the place becomes numb someone hurts you a little while later you can't feel it anymore it's gone you lost your sensation that's the mercy of Allah when someone tries to harm you beyond a certain degree physically you will die because that's the mercy of Allah Allah doesn't want you to taste pain more than a certain threshold beyond the threshold Allah says I'll just take you away mercy Subhan Allah you see someone shot you instead of feeling the pain what happened to you you died you went the mercy of Allah but we don't look at it that way but Allah says no it's our mess we don't allow man to taste pain beyond the point they cannot allow they cannot do it Allah won't allow it but Allah Subhanahu و تعالیٰ says you see these people those who have wronged those who have oppressed those who have accused those who have falsely accused Rasulullahﷺ those who have done harm those who have worshipped besides Allah Allah says don't worry in the aakhira we're going to punish them but there was another issue the companions of the Prophetﷺ they were happy to hear what's going to happen in the aakhira but they wanted to know what about the dunya man what about this world it's not easy for everybody to say okay I forgive Allah says it's over you need to have a big heart Subhan Allah and these days with the type of food we have the cholesterol makes it narrow Subhan Allah tight chest they say tight chest small heart as well may Allah forgive us Subhan Allah so Allah says in the next verses of Suratul Furqan سورہ Allah says don't worry let's prove to you what happened to people before you remember when we sent Moses Musaﷺ to the Pharaoh and his brother Harul we sent him as a companion and helper to him to be an assistant do you remember the time Subhan Allah yes we do what about it Allah says فَقُلْنَا we told him now this is encouragement to Muhammadﷺ and it is also comfort to all of us to say Allah is just Allah doesn't let things go by Allah won't let things go by so he says فَقُلْنَا ذْحَبَائِلَ الْقَوْمِ اللَّذِنَا کذبُوا بِ آیاتِنَا we told them we want you to go the people who are already oppressing the other people it's not like the Pharaoh wanted to do something against Moses and Harun Musaﷺ and Harun before that he was already doing wrong to his people and to the Banu Israel and to the others so Allah says we are sending you to go to him in order to guide him to remind him that he is not the boss he is not the king he cannot have it his way the king is Allah the boss is Allah the creator is Allah the just is Allah not you you are a mere creature of Allah who is going to close his eyes and you are going to face Allah he denied it what got to his head his power his authority his wealth everything of that nature got to his head really to the degree that he told them I am your Lord اللہ اِن وَیْرِ فِرْعَوْنْ تَلْزِسْ بِیْبَلْ اُوْمَاِ بِیْبَلْ I don't know of a God for you guys to worship besides me Audhu Billah what kind must that have been what type of power must he have had what type of authority must he have had you know what Allah says فَدَمْ مَضْنَا هُمْ تَدَمِرَا because of all of that we destroyed him into the smallest of pieces تَدْمِرْ means total utter sheer complete destruction towards Allah says دَمْ مَرْنَا هُمْ تَدْمِرَا they are connected it means the type of destruction and the amount of destruction is being described by Allah and he tells you total complete the people didn't want to believe that the Pharaoh has drowned Allah says no stress we will make the sea split his body when you see it motionless lifeless you're going to say some narration say what's this the guy what's this the guy yesterday this is what he was saying look at him today that's exactly what happened so Allah says don't worry it's coming but when did it come some narration say it came after 40 years 40 but it came whether today whether tomorrow but it came سبحان اللہ so Allah says look oh Muhammad SAW whether whatever happens they will face their day and they did سبحان اللہ they did the victory of Makkah came when did it come it came a few years later but it came let's carry on with the verses we're talking about the prophet SAW and the comfort received and the retribution against the oppressive one the one who did wrong Allah says وَقَوْ مَنُوحِ لَمْ مَا كَذَّبُر رُسُولا look at the people of Noah when they belied the messenger what did we do to them اغرقاناہم we just drowned them I was watching a whatsapp clip somewhere in the world only Allah knows where exactly it was 9 minutes of rain the city was gone I don't know if you saw that clip within 3 minutes in that clip already the buildings were moving this was very recently this year while we are speaking there are floods across the globe I promise you Allah is قادر مطلق Allah is the one who can do anything he tells us I did it already look Noah how long did we give them to turn to seek forgiveness to say I'm sorry to make peace with Allah how long did we give them Allah says we gave them 950 years after that we closed the door we told you can remain with your people but we want to give you news none of them are going to accept your message now Allah says after 950 years we closed the door the door of guidance was closed by you by Allah did you ever know that he says it in the Qur'an لَا اِنْ يُؤْمِنَ مِنْ قَوْمِكَ إِلَّا مَنْ قَدَ اَمَنْ اوْ نُوحْ we want to tell you no more people are going to accept Islam now door is closed Allah says that in the Qur'an why Allah says we just want you to prepare and then once you're ready we're going to send the punishment that's how detailed the Qur'an goes so Allah says what did we do when they did this we destroyed them now Muhammadﷺ and his companions they were thinking more so the companions when they heard the verse they said no indeed Allah is just Allah says if you don't suffice by that example we will give you more بين ذالکہ کثیرہ عاد ثمود اصحاب الرس and so many other generations Allah says all of them we have given the examples of all of them what did they do whatever they did we gave them some time during that time they got more excited there were some who might have turned yes they were saved but Allah says they became more and more and more when you tell someone fear Allah if they become angry at that the Qur'an in Suratul Baqarah describes that they are the devil themselves when someone reminds you of Allah brother read your Salah hey who are you straight you know this guy he's possessed by what by the devil Allah says with those hypocrites when you tell them to fear Allah when you remind them to do what is right to stay away from wrong it drives them deeper into the sin and the crime Allah says sufficient is for them Jahannam there's no other place for them why how can you allow your heart to become so hard you're a believer you believe in Allah you're supposed to be softened you can't allow that to happen my brothers my sisters when anyone reminds us of Allah and for us to watch our tongues and to watch our character and not to harm people what is hurting us to be polite to everybody what's hurting us why why can you not be polite to your brothers your sisters your parents your uncles your aunts your relatives those who are not related to you the public the workers those whom you are working with or those who are working for you or vice versa whoever you interact with what is stopping you from being polite you pay because you hurt someone's heart they cried a tear for you Allah has watched the tear one day there was a wife who came to Rasulullahﷺ complaining the prophetﷺ told her to wait and to hang on Allah says no way there's no waiting no hanging on قد سمیع الله قول اللہ تی تجادلو کافی زوجنہ و تشتکی إلى اللہ اللہ ریویل ڈو سی to say اللہ has already heard this discussion between the two of you and Allah heard this woman who is complaining to Allah and here is the solution and Allah gave the solution so be careful we don't want this oppression this punishment Allah says look at those who hurt in the past they did the major wrong which was also to disbelieve in Allah but they also harmed the prophets Allah says قضب الرسول they belied the messengers in so many ways Allah says اخرغناہم we drowned them all کلن تبرنا تتبیرہ you know the word تتبیر تبر it means to totally destroy them completely there's no way and I want to end with one beautiful beautiful point when these verses were revealed سورة الفرقان in the Quran ساکہ before even the مدینہ period سحابہ رضی اللہ عنہوں their ایمان became strong they had yaqeen oh Allah today we are struggling no problem we know the day of ad the day of thamood the day of fir'aan is going to come to these people it has to come we know it guarantee watch and wait and see so one day the prophetﷺ I think it was اومیر بن خلف if I'm not mistaken اومیر بن خلف so they were enemies real bad they used to harm they used to throw things they used to cause destruction رسول اللہﷺ says اللہ اومیر مسلط علیہ کلبم من کلابک oh Allah now the prophetﷺ doesn't normally and usually do this but this was too much if you look at all the prophets نوح علیہ السلام he never made dua against his people but when it became too much it got to a point where he said oh Allah finish up these people here after nine hundred years of sabr nine hundred and fifty years then he made the dua لوط علیہ السلام what happened the day they came and broke the wall or tried to break the wall that's the day he says oh Allah finish these people up Allah says don't worry the morning is their time you just carry on don't even look back so نوح علیہ السلام it gets to a threshold a point beyond which اللہ سبحانہ علیہ السلام lashes out so one day this man was walking out in the desert and he saw a lion coming to him he had so much conviction in his heart he told his colleagues this thing is coming for me I heard Muhammad say oh Allah let one of the dogs attack this man and kill him and the lion came and destroyed this man alone no one else straight for him he was taken and he was gone this is the yakin this is the dua this is what happens when Allah says be careful of the dua of the one you have wrong it will have far reaching effects now my brothers my sisters when we see things go wrong in our lives in sha Allah mostly it is a test from Allah it is a test if that thing brought us closer to Allah it was a blessing of Allah your proper closer to Allah it was definitely a test from Allah but if it took you further away from Allah and frustrated you and angered you and made you lose your sleep to the degree that your mind is being lost and you becoming angry and you can't sleep and you can't eat and you can't drink then it's the punishment of Allah now don't worry what people are telling you there just making you feel good it's the punishment of Allah why are you being punished first thing you ask yourself if your relationship with Allah is okay which means your salah is in order you're not a mushrik you don't commit shirk etc have you wronged someone even if it was a little baby a little child you want to scream yell at them you see that small baby could have said oh Allah break this man's bones now suddenly you don't know why you're suffering depressed stressed you don't know oh Allah finish them up oh Allah destroy them how you destroy Firaound we've heard people say this and the man looks like a pious guy subhan Allah but why don't we protect ourselves from these duhas the Sahaba رضی الله عنهم they never ever cursed never but when it passed a threshold sometimes it happened it even happened to the messengers beyond the point no one will tolerate it may Allah سبحانہ واتحالہ grant us a good lesson I pray that not only is this comfort for us when we are wronged but I pray that we stop ourselves from doing wrong to others and I really hope that we can start a campaign in our community to improve our character and conduct with our family members with our community with everybody else wallahi we can change the whole world I promise you we can change the world if you start a campaign with yourself that I'm going to really be the most polite person possible your life will change and you watch what Allah does in your life may Allah grant us baraka may Allah never destroy us may Allah سبحانہ واتحالہ not let the punishment overtake us I say this may Allah peace and blessings be upon you
