 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والصلاة والسلام علي سيدنا ونبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحمه وسلم يا ربنا لك الحمدك با ينبغي الجلال وجيك وعظيمي سلطانك يا الله وإن شاء الله we will be starting today our session continuing the Tapsee year of Surat Yaseen last time we stopped at ayah 58 إن شاء الله we will go from here إن شاء الله بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ومتازوا اليوم أيها المجرمون and you you الله سبحانه وتعالى is talking to the criminals now and he is saying stand apart today the word متازوا means to be separated so they were separated from everything from mercy they were separated from the good people so they will not receive anything good so Allah سبحانه وتعالى showed those criminals those losers he showed them that the believers and the winners are going to they are going to paradise and they are going to some of them to the Ferdows so that that thing that happened to them just to see just to see that people are going to paradise and they are going to that by itself will cause them so much sorrow so Allah سبحانه وتعالى he threatened them in dunya he sent them messengers he did all that he wanted to do just to be merciful to them but they did not follow him so this is why they will be punished in the day after Allah سبحانه وتعالى says ألم أعهد إليكم يا بني آدم أن لا تعبد الشيطان إنه لكم عدو المبين هل أنا لن أحاول أنك يا صديقي آدم أن لا يجب أن تحاول الشيطان حقا الشيطان is your worst enemy so Allah سبحانه وتعالى is telling them that شيطان is a plain enemy to you so you did not listen Allah when he sent the messengers they told people that be careful شيطان will keep whispering شيطان will do whatever he can just to make you away from أسراط المستقيم if we go back to the story of سيدنا آدم شيطان was doomed out of جنة because he disobeyed الله سبحانه وتعالى and he did not prostrate for سيدنا آدم so he was outcasted but what did he do he sweared by the might of الله سبحانه وتعالى that he will for sure mislead his people except among them those whom Allah has chosen as by servants إلا عبادك منهم المخلصين so those servants he cannot whisper to them why the problem is not between شيطان and Allah it's between شيطان and people he promised for sure that he will أقعدنا لهم سراطك المستقيم سراطك المستقيم so he promised Allah that I will surely wait for them on your straight path why شيطان is not going to go to the bars to the gambling stations it's not gonna go there because he knows for sure already people who got astray but he wants to go to the places of worship just to whisper to people he wants to whisper to people not to obey Allah سبحانه وتعالى so what did Allah سبحانه وتعالى do what did he do he ordered his servants not to worship شيطان and listen to his whisper because إنه لكما عدو مبيين he is a plain enemy to you so what will he do he will try to make people astray from the right path if he cannot then he will try to make them have in their media so their actions won't be for the sake only of Allah سبحانه وتعالى so their سواب their reward will be decreased he knows he cannot get them astray but he will try to do anything he can to make them away from full reward so he said لأات ينه من بين ايديهم ومن خلفيهم وعن ايمانهم وعن شمائلهم I will get to your servants from between their hands from behind them from their right from their left he wants to go in all directions but he forgot to say from above them or from below them why because the servant is connected to Allah and he is connected from above to the dignity of servitude and he is going away from below from the humiliation of being a follower to shaitan so shaitan could not get into these these people then Allah سبحانه و تعالى goes on and says so he said ألم أعهد إليكم يا ابني آدمة أن لا تعبدوا الشيطان إنه لكم عدو مبين didn't I command you not to worship shaitan then he said وأني عبدوني هذا الصرات المستقيم and that you should worship me and that is so worship me why worship me because because of so many things the first one is that Allah سبحانه و تعالى has created you and he sent you the messengers he loved his creatures Allah loves people so he wanted he wanted them just to enjoy his bounties in the day after وأني عبدوني هذا الصرات المستقيم so this هذا is a call to follow the صرات المستقيم what is the صرات المستقيم obeying Allah سبحانه و تعالى leaving away what he ordered us not to do following the Quran following the sunnah getting closer to Allah this is the صرات المستقيم this is the straight path and to add into this is the disobeying of shaitan shaitan will whisper but we have to get stronger so not to be affected by his whisper so Allah is calling people to the صرات to the طريق the straight path and whether people loved this صرات or did not love it whether they found it easy or they found it difficult they have to follow this صرات so in dunya we are walking we are going along this طريق this road and we are going when there is a road when you are driving you will go just you pass through this road and you go to another thing to another station so our life in this dunya is just as if we are passing from one station to the other so the road that we are following has a beginning and has an end has a from and has a to and its death where does it lead to either paradise or health fire so when we follow الله سبحانه وتعالى وعني عبدوني when we follow him then what happens we are on the right path إن شاء الله that would lead to the high heavens and of course since there is no rest in this dunya there will be obstacles on this right path it will not be easy again shaitan will whisper to you when you are worshipping Allah سبحانه وتعالى shaitan will tell you when you want to wake up for pleasure oh it's called just few more minutes it's just called in time is you still have more time until you either do it at the end or you miss it normally the worship at the beginning of its time has support has something that will push you to do it eagerly and easily but at the end it will be as if something oh I have to do it it's not the same way as I want to do it to enjoy it to get the highest reward for it so this is what shaitan promised Allah سبحانه وتعالى to do وَلَقَدْ أَضَلَّ مِنْكُمْ جِبِلَّنْ كَثِيرًا أفلم تكونوا تحقيلون indeed shaitan led astray a great number of strong people did you not then understand so you are not the only ones who shaitan got you astray there are so many people so many people who were misled by shaitan and those people were strong enough they thought that shaitan cannot get into them cannot affect them cannot whisper to them so get prepared get prepared so that you will be able to walk on the shaitan even though there are difficulties but you will you will be able to overcome these difficulties by the help of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and it's not only you when you care about your children you would be able to raise them on the same سرات المستقين you will be raised them in a way that they will be able to choose what's good and what's bad you will raise them in a way that you will care about their akhirah you will raise them in a way that they will be strong leaders who other weak people can follow you will get the reward of everything good you are doing so just think أفلم تكونوا تعقلون so what happened to those strong people shaitan came to them from the from the road of things that they love to do in this dunya so these things made the way of worshiping of Allah سبحانه وتعالى more difficult for them but only if they used their intellect they would know the reality and they would know that their sound intellect would order them just to follow the right path because they know that if they don't جهنم is waiting and this is what Allah is saying in the next ayah هذه جهنم التي كنتم تعادون this is health this is the health fire which you were promised Allah sent the messengers to warn people that if you don't follow the صرات المستقيم if you don't follow the right path then you will a great punishment is waiting for you so what will happen to them the losers on the day after they would look into the health fire and the result is atmosphere because they know that this would be their final destination they know that Allah سبحانه وتعالى is going to order them to order angels to throw these losers in health fire and when they do then يسلوها اليوم بما كنتم تكفرون burn therein this day this day which is the day of judgment burn in health fire بما كنتم تكفرون and that's for what you used to disbelieve in يسلوها burn in it because of your disbelief in the bounties of Allah سبحانه وتعالى in the signs that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has sent you in the messengers that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has sent you disbelieved in everything okay this is the the punishment يوم يدعون الى نارجة هنما دعا هذه النار التي كنتم بها تكذيبون the day when they will be pushed down by force to fire they will not get there gently no this is the fire which they used to be lie what does the word يسلوها اليوم بما كنتم تكفرون what's اليوم اليوم is today what's the what's the emphasis on this word because earlier yesterday which was the dunya which was their life yesterday was gone with with the things that they loved and they enjoyed and nothing is left except the humiliation of the sin that the sins that they were committing in dunya they will be ashamed that they did not believe they would be ashamed that they sinned they would be ashamed that they did not follow the right path so what will happen to them they are burning in hellfire اليوم نختموا على أفواههم اليوم نختموا على أفواههم again this is an emphasis to the day of judgment اليوم نختموا على أفواههم اليوم نختموا على أفواههم we shall seal up their mouth they they will be voiceless they will be speechless they will not be able to say any word by their mouth so earlier in dunya their hearts were sealed so this belief would not get out of it and faith would not get into it but today today their mouth mouth will be sealed why so they would not give excuses they would not keep on denying and belying they would not give explanations why they belied why they did not believe so they will not be able to ask for forgiveness because this is not the time for it the time was in dunya that they could have done استغفار in dunya they had a chance to work more to erase their sins to do استغفار but that ended when they are now before الله سبحانه وتعالى they won't have any other chance so اليوم نختموا على أفواههم we shall seal up their mouth and their hands will speak to us their hands will witness what they did what they did in dunya they will say we used to obey obey him obey the person our master if he wanted to hit someone he would raise the hand and he would hit and the hand would obey same thing for the tongue they would they want the tongue is ordered to say whatever a man wants to say whether good or bad but for those people they were saying only bad things to other people so the tongue is ordered to obey the hands are ordered to obey but when they are going to Allah سبحانه وتعالى what will happen those limbs are going to witness what that man did who else will witness what the shahad who are their men and the legs also will bear witness where did they go so they went to so and so place that they were not supposed to go to places of haram places of gambling bars here and there their legs will witness to that so everything will witness to what they used to earn if we want to give an example for this we can give the example of the soldiers in a war in the war the soldiers were ordered to obey their officers their chiefs blindly even if the orders were wrong they had to fulfill them they have to obey but when they go back from the war they would give a report to the higher command to the officers the officers who they used to obey in the war and this is when when this is something similar that these limbs will stand before Allah سبحانه وتعالى the highest supreme the highest court and they will talk about the word the getting something is of two types someone might do a sin an action a bad deed but unintentionally without any previous intention so he would feel sorry he would repent and he would try not to do it again so this is the first way of deeds the other type is that someone would do a sin and he will show off that he has done that sin he won't repent but he would go on and he would talk to people oh we went to so and so place to do so and so bad things they would show off so the hands the mums the legs everything will witness on a human being in the day after what they did and why they did it and the person cannot say any word there will be speechless something else and if we will if we wish we would surely obliterate their eyes so what will happen and they would raise to find the path but how could they see so we could have misguided them when they cannot see so who is going to be guiding them how they could be guided and if we willed we could have deformed them we could have paralyzed them we could have transformed them to in their places we could have turned them to stones or to anything we will they would be unable to go forward not nor even to go backward فنستطاعوا مضيّن ولا يرجعون then they would have been unable to go forward to take a new path nor they could have turned back to the path they already follow which is leading to جهنم they could not change that Allah has warned them when he advise them not to worship shaitan not to obey shaitan whenever someone wants to do anything just have a second and think about it will I be obeying Allah or shaitan will this be on the scale of my good deeds or my bad deeds and then do it or not do it ومن نعمره ننكسه في الخلق and a person he whom we grant long life we reverse him in creation what does this mean نعمره ومن نعمره نعمره means to give long life to grant long life some people live 80 years some people live 90 years some people live 100 years some people have a short life they die young children young people so ومن نعمره those who we give long life ننكسه so he will go back to what he was earlier when he was young when he was baby when he was a child so he will not be he will not be as strong he will not be as energetic he will not have the knowledge that he has when he got older and this is what happens if he is walking someone needs to hold his hand so he doesn't fall down or someone needs even to carry him because he cannot walk anymore and this is mentioned clearly ومنكم يردوا إلى أرضلي العمر لكي لا يعلم من بعد علم شيء and amongst you there is he who is brought back to old age أرضلي العمر old age so that he knows nothing after having knowledge sometimes you see you hear of people having Alzheimer's they will forget everything after they were professors after they were doctors after they were lawyers so intellect they were intellectual nothing so when a person gets older he needs a special care when a person becomes old you will feel that taking care of that person is getting sensitive because the person himself will feel more sensitive than what he was earlier he will be more sensitive because he feels that he is a burden to others so if if someone says any word that they used to say to him the same word earlier when he was healthy then he he would not have sensitivity from that word it won't affect him but the old person would be more sensitive sometimes the old parents would advise something to their children who are getting old of course now so the children would think oh we know more oh way better than them they are old they don't know life real life they cannot follow the new technology they so they would show the parents that they have something less whether in thinking ideas this life so what happens الله سبحانه وتعالى in the Quran said do not say of to your parents do not show them that you don't like what they say do not show them that you don't like what they order you and in the Quran الله سبحانه وتعالى gave this advice to children and he did not give it to the parents he did not ask the parents to take care of their children but he asked the children to take care of their parents especially when they get old why because the nature of the parents is giving is loving their kids but that's why الله wants the children to honor their parents when they get older he wants to show them that they are everything in his life so whoever has parents alive just be good to them show them your love show them just a little bit of their sacrifice that they did for you when you were young when you were a child when you were an infant and if someone lost his parents just make استغفار for them do charities for them and remember always that reading Gal Fatiha for them would be a very valuable gift in one of the narrations one of the friends of Allah dreamt of his friend who passed away and he dreamt that he was passing by a graveyard and someone read Fatiha and sent it as a gift to the people who were deceased and who were in their graves so everybody was getting up brushing trying to get these jewels that was sent to them except for his friend he was he was surprised so he went to the place where he used to live and he asked who is the family what happened to his family he said after his death his son was very righteous and he was so good to his father and he would always read Quran for him and send him after and he understood that the people in their graves wanted the jewels of the Fatiha that was thrown to them because they don't have people to read Fatiha they don't have someone to do good for them later on he had the same person had another dream that his friend is collecting the jewels with the others and when he asked they told him that his son died so just remember your parents just remember to send them gifts if they are dead read them Quran do استغفار for them do عمرة for them do حج for them just give them gifts try to to do something that you wish to do in their life and you didn't do أفا لا يعقلون will they not then understand will they not think about how they were created will they not think about the life cycle they were created weak then they got stronger then they became gray-haired and then they became old and then they realized that they were created for another life for another world that is eternal they understood that this life is going to an end so أفا لا يعقلون think think of the oneness of Allah سبحانه وتعالى think of the messages think of the messengers think of death think of resurrection think of standing before Allah سبحانه وتعالى think for your for the scale and for your deeds think take the time to think you have time to think now but later you won't you have a chance to do good to yourself now you have a chance to make up what you missed but later you won't وما علمناه الشعر وما ينبغي له وما وما لم ننجد وما ليكانه هو سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم ومعنى هل it's suitable for him وما هو the reason of this ayah أعلمت نوام كريش when they belied سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم they they said that he is a magician he is a poet هو ، هو ، هو ، so Allah is denying that his messenger is a poet and he said in another verse in Surat Al-Shu'ara in ayah 224 he said but it's only the deviators follow them but Prophet Muhammad SAW was not a poet yes he is reading the Quran yes the Quran is as eloquent more than anything they can create or they can say because you know the Arabs were so eloquent and the Quran came with their language but they couldn't do they couldn't make one single ayah similar to the Quran they were poets but Quran was not poetry they were poets but SAW was not a poet so it's not the society it's not the environment that taught him how to say Allah SWT did so this is the honor that his knowledge is divine knowledge today Muhammad SAW did not say poetry and was not a poet because it wasn't suitable for him to be a poet and you know that when earlier when they used to say poetry they used to praise the kings and say things maybe those things are not his characteristics even or not his mirrors just to gain some some money so there is some type of lying in poetry and SAW was not a poet and Allah SWT said that إن هو إلا ذكر وقرآن مبين this is only a reminder the Quran is only a reminder it is a clear Quran so SAW was so careful was so accurate in saying or in delivering the message and in giving the people the real exact 100% words of the Quran nothing was changed so again this is an emphasis that SAW was not a poet was not a priest was not a poet was not a liar was not a magician he was only a messenger of Allah SWT who جبريل عليه السلام gave him or revealed to him the Quran now sometimes you feel that there are people who are not Muslims when they hear the Quran they start to cry even though they don't know Arabic they don't know they don't understand what's said they never heard the Quran before so why what happens this is called in Arabic إن فعال المواجد which means that the eyes would tear when they hear the Quran they don't know the language they don't understand the words but the Quran is the words of Allah and those who are listening to the words of Allah are the creatures of Allah and the words of Allah would affect the heart of those who have pure إنقنص this is the condition some people would hear it even Muslims it would not affect them some people you will see that they are starting to crying and crying and crying it affected the heart so this is the real words of Allah SWT so why things happen why is it like this okay let's take an example a practical example if we are drinking tea and it's hot what do we do before we take a sip we just blow in it just a little bit so it gets so the surface of the tea just gets a little cooler now think of another example in winter when we get out and our hands are freezing what do we do we blow in our hands just to make them warm the blow is the same the same person blow once in the cup of tea and once in his hands but the result is different this is why we have القرآن is one thing but some people are affected by it some people are not لينذر من كان حي to warn whoever is alive Allah SWT says استجابوا لله إذا دعاكم لما يحقيكم how would what does يحقيكم يحقيكم means ينجيكم to save you so listen to Allah obey Allah when he calls you why so to save you in your next life there is life that's going this life is going to end this is materialistic life but there is a life that the moral life that will not that will not end but the results will appear only in the day after and this is this is the moral life so it will give you value in the day after but what does it give you in this dunya it gives you safety it gives you tranquility لينذر من كان حي where would we get all this from the Quran so when we read the Quran we understand it affects our hearts we want our hearts to be ready to gain the light of the Quran when our hearts have the light of the Quran then our life will be lit by this light our life will be shining لينذر من كان حي ويحق القول على الكافرين and that word maybe justified against the disbelievers those who did not believe it's a Quran is a mercy to the believers and it's an evidence against the non-believers so Allah SWT warned people and whoever go back in the day after to find himself of the winners he should thank Allah SWT that he Allah SWT made him or gave him the power to do what's good to be able to overcome shaitan to overcome the whispering of shaitan and that who found himself a loser he should blame himself and only blame himself so ya Allah we ask you ya Allah to get us connected to your book to get us connected to the book that who you revealed to sayidna Muhammad SAW to get us to be connected to the words that you chose in your book ya Allah to enlighten our hearts with the light of the Quran ya Allah to enlighten our graves with the light of Allah of the Quran ya Allah اللهم جعله نورا لنا في حياتنا ya Allah وصل للهما على سيدنا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم إن شاء الله we will continue إن شاء الله next week السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
