 Dear brothers, dear sisters, today's khutbah is about a surah of the Qur'an. And it's a brief introduction to this amazing surah. It's a surah that most of us are familiar with. It's a surah that we read often. And many people, many Muslims, have already memorized the surah. Even though it's more than one page. Even though it's multiple pages. This surah is surah at Yasin. It's a surah that we're all familiar with. And it's a surah that starts with an oath. It starts with an oath. Yasin. Wel Qur'anil Hakim. By the Qur'an. By the wise Qur'an. It starts with an oath. Usually when a surah starts with an oath. Or many surahs that starts with an oath. Usually the foundation of the religion is mentioned after the oath. When Allah SWT says When najmi wa ma hawwa When suratu najm Ma dalla sahibukum wa ma gawa We immediately know that this surah is about the Prophet SAW. When we hear the surah wa toor We immediately know that this surah is about revelation. This reminds us of the tour of the mountain. And the tablets where Musa A.S. received revelation. So the surah elaborates on revelation. When Allah SWT says Wa zariyyati zarwa It's a surah that starts with an oath. It follows that by talking about Inna ilaha kum lawahid. It talks about the wahdaniyah of Allah. In surah to safat When Allah SWT talks about was safati safah It began with an oath. Then after that the whole surah Talked about dispelling a miss That the ancient Arabs used to have. And it's a miss that the jinn and Allah SWT are related. That there is a relation and a nisbah between them. Not only that, that they got married. That Allah SWT got married to someone from the jinn And they began children. And those children are daughters. And those daughters are called angels. And the whole surah is about dispelling this miss. And the end of the surah is amazing. It ended with Subhan Rabbika Rabbil Izzati Amna Yusufu All this miss. Wa Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alami Many times when you come to the end of the surahs You know, you feel that the surah is ending. The way it's ending. And just before a safah We have surah at Yasin. And surah at Yasin also began with an oath. Yasin. Wa Al-Qur'anil Hakim Innaka Lamina Al-Mursali Yasin, by the wise Quran You are truly among the message bearers. You are truly one of the messengers. The surah is a surah that's familiar to all of us. And there are multiple hadiths about this surah In which the Prophet SAW Is reported to have said Iqra'u Yasin A'la Mautaikum Recite Yasin over your dead. Muslims recite the surah often. And recite the surah over the dead. i.e. those who are close to death. Those who are dying. Why do we recite the surah In the presence of those who are dying? Why this particular surah? Because of the meanings within the surah. The surah talks about Innaka Lamina Al-Mursali It talks about Isbatu Risala to the Prophet SAW But not only the Risala Is whatever is also included in the Risala It reminds those who are dying Of everything about Islam That's why in another hadith The Prophet SAW is reported to have said And it's authentic enough to be quoted That Yasin is the heart of the Quran Everything has a heart And Yasin is the heart of the Quran What does this mean? It includes everything As the heart pumps blood And life through the veins Into all the body And keeps the body alive And then everything goes back to the heart Because there is Dawgah the Mawiyah All the meanings of Islam Is included in the surah All the essential meanings Imam Ghazali mentioned that This is the heart of the Quran Because it includes all the foundations of Islam And not only the foundations It distributes this And talks about these foundations In very beautiful ways Once you read the surah You feel that you have been transformed And that you are living in a different world It takes you to the hereafter It takes you to the past It takes you to the future It talks, it tells you about those Who listen to their messengers And obey their messengers And follow the message And what happened to them? And it tells you about those Who rejected the messengers And rejected their message And what happened to them? So this surah included Talking about Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala And about some of the attributes of Allah Especially Al Aziz Al Rahim And these two names of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala You see it in the surah Al Aziz No one can overcome Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala And those who reject the messengers They will never be able to win victory At the end Their end on the day of judgement is known And Al Rahim Those who accept the message And follow the messengers The Rahmah of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Will be distributed on them And they will see it in this world As well as the next So this surah As the ulamas say And the mufassirun That is tamalat a la risala Talks about messengership Talks about the message It talks about al-Hashr The gathering on the day of judgement It talks about al-Nashr And how people will be resurrected From their grave It talks about al-Baas And how it talks about resurrection It talks about zikr-us-sabiqeen It talks about the stories of people Who have come before us And how they reacted To the message and to their messengers It talks about al-Lahiqeen Those who will come after us Talks about the present The past The future It talks about the distant future Then it talks about the Quran And that's really amazing Usually What is oath? When we say I'm making an oath What am I doing? I'm stressing I want to stress a fact And to stress a fact I bring an oath Allah could have said But by saying It's stressing this fact That you are among the messengers And who denies that Prophet Muhammad is not one of the messengers It's a disbelievers Yet Allah swt did not address them Because they are not worthy of being addressed And did not even prove That he did not stress messengership No messengership is a fact He's just stressing that Prophet Muhammad is one of those messengers That have come before And he addressed it to the Prophet Because he is the one worthy of being addressed Not those disbelievers Who disbelieve in the Prophet Then it talks about the attributes of messengers And it talks about Qadar It talks about the knowledge of Allah swt The omniscience of Allah swt It talks about Shukr al-Mun'ayn And there is waz in it There is Qadar And there is warning And there is admonition And there is invitation And in Surah Tassin you have all these It's like the blood that comes from your heart And travels through your body And keeps your body alive When we are about to die It's very good to be reminded Of all those meanings Before we die And as we die we are not just dying We are not just dying We just die here Our body dies But our soul Qilad khulil jannah It will be said to the soul Qilad khulil jannah And this surah also It talks about sacrifice A person who sacrificed everything for the truth To the point that he ended up losing his life And what happened to him Qilad khulil jannah It was said to him Enter paradise So this surah is recited usually For those who are close to death For those who have just died For those who recited at the graves of loved ones And we also recited for those who are sick This is the time when we need to remember All these meanings And this surah includes everything As Imam Ghazali said The usul of everything Especially belief in Allah SWT And belief in the prophethood And the prophecy And belief in the day of judgment And this surah has a way of reminding us of those things And throughout the surah we see discussion We see arguments Arguments for the omnipotence of Allah SWT That Allah's power Like why don't you believe in the day of judgment Because Allah doesn't have power Why he has power And those who believe Allah SWT has power Why don't you believe that Allah SWT Will not resurrect the bodies The disbelievers They came to the prophet Muhammad And they crushed the bones They said Are you saying that after these bones are crushed And become dust That we're going to be resurrected again He says Qul yuhiyyahal lazi ansha'aha awwala marra What's the problem Are you starting the power of Allah SWT Yes You will be resurrected Like you were created the first time What's the difference For the sake of time This surah is a very important surah That we Muslims memorize We recite We contemplate upon And perhaps after this brief introduction Insha'Allah let's read this surah again Many times and reflect upon its meaning And see, appreciate why this surah is called The heart of the Quran And why this surah is a surah that we should recite In almost any situation Especially in situation where we face calamities Or we are sick Or in front of those who are dying To remind them just before they leave this world Of all these meanings So when they leave this world They leave this world in full face Praise be to Allah A lot of things are like water And I bear witness that there is no god but Allah There is no partner for Him And I bear witness that our master and prophet His servant and messenger May Allah's blessings be upon him And on his family and companions All that was done by Allah And I am glad to have been told By the servants of Allah That he was turned into water And you turned from him into a tree And they left the world out of your hearts فإنه إذا استول أسر وعلموا أن الله عز وجل أمركم بأمر عميم بدأ فيه بنفسه وسن بملائكة قدوسه فقال عز من قائل عليما إن الله وملائكته يصلون على النبي يا أيها الذين آمنوا صلوا عليه وسلموا تسليما اللهم فصل وسلم وبارك على سيدنا محمد وعلى آل سيدنا محمد صلاة وسلاما دائمين متلازمين إلى يوم الدين ورضي الله عن الخلفاء الراشدين أبي بكر وعمر وعسمان وعلي وعن سائر الصحابة والقرابة والتابعين ومن تبيعهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين اللهم أنصر الإسلام والمسلمين وأعل يا مولان كلمة الإيمان والحق والدين اللهم من أراد بالإسلام والمسلمين خيرا فوفقوا لكل خير ومن أراد بالإسلام والمسلمين غير ذلك فخزوا أخذ عز زيز مقتدر تولى المسلمين في هذه البلدة وسائر بلاد الإسلام بعين عنايتك وبأتمير عايتك وأبد العسرا يا مولان يسرا عاجلا غير آجلا يا رب العالمين وفرج القرب عن المكربين ونفس الهم عن المهمومين وردنا إلى دينك ردا جميلا كريما يا أكرم الأكرمين اغفر للمسلمين والمسلمات والمؤمنين والمؤمنات الأحياء منهم والأموات إن كايا مولانا سميع قريب مجيب الدعوات عباد الله إن الله يأمر بالعدل والإحسان وإيتائز الكربة وينهى عن الفحشاه والمكر والبغي يعيز قم لعل
