 وَأَقُولُ فِي القُرْعَانِ مَا جَاءَتْ بِهِ اَيَاتُوهُ فَهُوَ الْكَارِيمُ المُنزَالُهُ وَأَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ وَالْمُصْطَافَ الْهَاديِ وَلَا أَتْ أَوَّالُهُ أخي المعاصي سببٌ لزوالٍ نِعَم تتذكر ذلك السنة are the reasons why blessings go the good and the blessings that you had will go it won't remain for you anymore let's mention some of the evidence الله سبحانه وتعالى He said to the companions وَمَا أَصَابَكُمْ مِنْ مُصِيبَةِ the things that you were afflicted with and the harm that touched you الله سبحانه وتعالى He said وَمَا أَصَابَكُمْ it didn't afflict you these harm and these pain and these problems did not afflict you except through what reason إلا بما كسبت الديكم مِن مُصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كسبت الديكم ويعفوا عن كثير it only came to you because of that which you hand put forward pay attention Allah is clearly telling us وَمَا أَصَابَكُمْ مِن مُصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كسبت الديكم and look what Allah said after that ويعفوا عن كثير and He actually forgave us for a lot because of everything we did He took away the blessings from us we wouldn't even live He only is punishing us for some of the sins that we did are we all together brothers? sins will take away blessings from you because brothers if Allah sends a punishment on us there's one of two ways that we can answer this we can either say Allah is oppressing us سبحانه وتعالى and this is oppression سبحان الله معاد الله can we say that about Allah and the second one is that we blame ourselves and we say this is what we've done to ourselves Allah says in another ayah فأكثروا فيها الفساد فصب عليه ربك صوت عذاب فأكثروا فيها الفساد when they increased in the corruption that they brought to this earth and then look what Allah says فصب عليه ربك صوت عذاب and then Allah sent to them a severe punishment the punishment when did it come فأكثروا فيها الفساد when they increased in the corruption that they were causing then the punishment came then the punishment came Allah says in another ayah ولو أن أهل القرى آمنوا if the people of the village were to believe واتقوا أن they were to come with Taqwa لفتحنا we would have opened for them عليهم بركات من السماء we would have opened for them the blessings of the sky والأرضي the blessings from the sky we would have said rain and we would have sent والأرضي from this earth we would have brought crops from them from the earth ولكن but we're not going to do neither of those for them why ولكن كذبوا they disbelieved فأخذناهم Allah says we grabbed them سبحانه وتعالى بما كانوا يكسبون them because of that which they did look what they said ولو أن أهل القرى آمنوا واتقوا لفتحنا عليهم بركات من السماء والأرض ولكن كذبوا فأخذناهم بما كانوا يكسبون it's simple all that was needed from was إيمانا تقوى what did Allah then say I would have sent on them from the sky بركات بركات blessings why does Allah say I'll send from the sky بركات because some of the rains brothers you can destroy some of the rain it can destroy what destroyed the people of نوح was it not rain that was sent down are we all together brothers the people have even destroyed them فلما رأوه أعرضا مستقب لأودية قالوا هذا أعرض منطرنا بل هو مستعجلتم به ريح فيها عذاب قليم تدمر كل شيء بأم لربها فأصبح لا يرأى إلا مساكنهم pay attention the rain that comes down can sometimes be a punishment from Allah ولذلك the messenger out whenever it rained or the sky became dark دقال وخرج he would enter the room and he would come out and he would enter and he could be seen on his face and then the sahabah they said يا رسول الله it's a rain it's bringing blessings for us and then the prophet said فلما رأوه عرضا مستقب لأودية قالوا هذا عرض منطرنا that's what the people of said when they saw this cloud coming together and it becoming dark the people of عد they didn't know it was the day that they were being punished they said it's going to be a nice rain but it was actually the day that the wind was coming it was formatting and how things were happening brothers الله also said in another ayah انا الذين آمنوا those of you who believe I'm sorry انا الذين تولو منكم يوم التقال جمعاني those of you who turned away when the two armies met one another this is the battle of أهد those of you who turned away because that day some of the companions they ran away from the prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام are you with me brothers and our messenger was one of the bravest people when it came to battle نبي الله محمد never turned his back in the battle field صلى الله عليه وسلم he never turned his back rather when the sahabas they ran away from him in the middle of the battle he stood up he said I am the prophet of Allah انا النبي لا كذب انا ابنوا عبد المطارب imagine in the middle of the battle field the overwhelming majority of your soldiers and your army ran away from you the enemy is willing to kill you and you shout your name out and you tell them I'm the prophet of Allah the only one who could do that is a brave and courageous individual صح he was very brave صلى الله عليه وسلم عليه الصلاة والسلام so he's calling his companions to come back but he's saying his name out he's saying who he is he's not scared صلى الله عليه وسلم so Allah says those of you who turned their backs when the two armies met one another إنما استزلهم الشيطان شيطان made them slip إنما استزلهم الشيطان شيطان made them slip why ببعض ما كسبوا because of some of the sins and the mistakes that they came with the reason why الشيطان succeeded in getting to them is because of the mistakes that they did in another الله تبارك وتعالى tells us a story brothers الله tells us a story he says بما كان يصنعون الله tells us about مكة مكة the risk was coming to them from where يأتيها رسقها رغدا من كل مكان the best thing and the risk was coming to them from every direction الله they says فكافرت what does فكافرت here mean it means they did not show what شكر the كفر here means كفر نعمة they disbelieved in the blessing they did not show gratitude because the blessing one sent their way they should have responded to it with what gratitude they didn't do that they used the body that were given to them the fingers and the eyes and the mouth and the ears that were given to them they used it for that which was حرام and so then is that blessing going to remain الله تبارك وتعالى says because of what they did الله made the people of مكة حنغة and poverty and fear came to them when Allah blesses us brothers we should not introduce حرام we should not introduce sins in our lives because that blessing the safety that we have the blessings that we have the good that we have الله will go الله says الله says you own the story of the boys the boys who their father left behind a garden for them صورة القلم الله left for them a garden and their father was a righteous man what he used to do was the garden when he reached the time to give the zakat from it he used to follow the ayah وقاتوا حقوا يوم حصادي he would give the zakat from it but then and he would tell the poor people to come into the garden and he would say choose whatever crops you want take and they would do it but when he died his children took over they changed their situation and they went against the way that their father was and so what did they do they told no mosquito is going to enter this garden today we're not going to let none of them enter our father was confused he didn't know what he was doing we have to look after our property so we're not going to let no mosquito enter what happened to them when they woke up in the morning they thought they planned everything out in the morning they were planning to not let the poor enter but little did they know Allah also planned Subhanahu و تعالى Allah planned Subhanahu و تعالى and Allah made the whole entire garden Allah made it sareem it made into ashes if you look at the self brothers when they entered the garden the self brothers whenever they entered onto their wives and their families if they saw their wife was not obeying them and if they saw that their family members and everyone was against them even if their riding beast was not doing as they used to say إذا عصينا الله if we disobey Allah كنا نرا أثر ذلكة who used to see the effects of our sins and our wives and our children and our riding beast everything doesn't work but where did they believe that this problem came to them from that the wife was listening and the children were not listening and the whole family the whole family where did they think it came to them from their own sins because they believed it came from them and that's why they are in the situation that they are in Allah also tells us about the story of لقال كانا لي سبعي في مسكانه مسكانهم آية جنتان عيامين وشمال كلوا من رزق ربكم شكرا لهم بلدة طيبة ورب غفور فعرضوا فأرسلنا عليهم سيلة العرن وبدلناهم بجنتين جنتين دوات يؤكل خمط وأثن وشيء من سدر قليل ذلك جزيناهم بما كفروا وهل نجازي إلا الكفور اللهم يكفي إن قارون كان من قوم موسى فضغ عليهم واتيناهم من الكنوزي ما إنما فاتحوا لتنوا بالأصبة قارون كان لديهم مقاومة كان لديهم كل شيء فلديهم أبي الله فلديهم مقاومة الله سبحانه وتعالى فخسفنا به وبداره الأرب فما كان لديهم من فيعة ينصرونه من دون الله وما كان من المتصر لا يوجد أيضا لا يوجد أيضا لا يوجد أيضا الله يجعل الأرض فقارون نحن جميعا هنا is a way that Allah deals with criminals and sinners and that is whatever blessing will be taken away from them when they disobey Allah when they go against Allah come on إن ربك لابل مرصان indeed your Lord is observing your actions and everything that you do سبحانه وتعالى الله is brothers nothing is hidden from him سبحانه وتعالى يعلى مخاينة الأعيوني وما تغفص تدور الله knows that the person is trying to deceive the people and Allah knows what's in the people's chests He knows what's in the people's hearts I ask Allah to make us those who are righteous privately and publicly من ما الله تبارك وتعالى forgive us for any shortcomings or mistakes that we may have come from with إنه وليه ذلك والقادر علي سبحانه وتعالى يحمدك أشد والله إلا الله أستغفرك وأتوب إلي
