 السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم وصلاته السلام على سيدينا ونبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم يا ربنا لك الحمد كما ينبغي لي جلال وجهك وعظيم سلطانك اللهم يمقلب القلوب والأبصار فبت قلوبنا على دينك اللهم علمنا ما ينفعنا وانفعنا بما علمتنا يا رحم الرحيمين يا رب العالمين بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم today إن شاء الله we will be starting with صورة الملك and we know that صورة الملك is one of the last صورة of the مكي صورة and after صورة الملك it was only maybe about 10 صورة that were revealed and of course when we say اين مكا we mean before the migration to المدينة صورة الملك talks about الله سبحانه وتعالى from beginning to end it talks about his power his dominion his blessings it talks about everything that he has done for us in this dunya and that he has prepared for the Akhira there are so many names for صورة الملك it's called صورة تبارك صورة الملك صورة المنجية المنقضة the saver it's called الشافعة the intersitter and the reason is that it would ask الله سبحانه وتعالى for forgiveness for the one who kept reading صورة الملك in dunya and we know that it is called صورة المنجية because it saves a person from the punishment of the grave سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم said سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم wished that each person a male female all young knows صورة الملك it would be so much that almost all righteous people memorized صورة الملك and they read it every day before bedtime or sometimes people read it after they pray or sometimes people read it before going to bed it depends on but people read it every night this is صورة الملك once some companions were with سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم traveling and they stopped for the night one of the companions went to bed and he put his tent there and he didn't know that the place where he put his tent is a grave of one of the murders when he slept he had a dream of the person who is in the grave he was reading صورة الملك when he woke up he told صيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم his dream and صيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم said إنها تنجي من عذاب القضر صورة الملك saves a person from the punishment of the grave and it has been mentioned over and over that when a person dies and he is put in the grave صورة الملك defends him so if a torturer would come from the side of his feet then صورة الملك would say he was reading me when he was praying at night so it would push the punishment away and if the punishment came from the head side then صورة الملك would say he read me with his tongue and it would push the punishment away from that person it saves the people of the graves those who used to keep reading صورة الملك in their lives so they will save them with صورة الملك from the punishment of the grave and on the day after صورة الملك will have will be a big deal صلى الله عليه وسلم اني لأعلم صورة في كتاب الله عدوا آياتها ثلاثون آية شفعت لصاحبها شفعت تقارئها فأخرجته من النار وأدخلته الجنة محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم أعلم صورة في الكتاب الله يوجد 30 آيات 30 آيات يوجد 30 آيات ونحن فهي مخيمة النار الذي قام برغبه في هذا العالم ونحن ساعده من المنطقة ونحن ساعده في الجنة نسأل الله سبحانه وتعالى أن نفعلنا من الناس who read surat al-mulk every day and who understand surat al-mulk and who embodies the teachings of surat al-mulk in his life سبسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الله starts with تبارك الذي بيده الملك وهو على كل شيء قدير بلست is he, exalted is he in whose hand is dominion and he is over all things competent the word تبارك equals the word تعالى and both words cannot be said except for الله سبحانه وتعالى and we say قال الله تبارك وتعالى الله the blessed the exalted تبارك وتعالى said and we all know that nothing will be blessed unless الله سبحانه وتعالى makes it blessed and that's why we keep repeating the dua اللهم بارك لنا في أوقاتنا وصحتنا ومالنا وعقلنا وأهلنا وأزواجنا وأولادنا or Allah bless us bless our time bless our health bless our wealth bless our minds our children our spouses we want Allah سبحانه وتعالى to bless us to bless everything around us and we know that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has created this earth and he blessed it and this is what he said in surah وفصلت وبارك فيها he blessed the earth so out of these blessings الله سبحانه وتعالى أخرج منها ماءها ومرعاها والجبال أرساها متاع لكم ولي أنعامكم he Allah سبحانه وتعالى extracted from it its water and its pastor and the mountains he said firmly as provision for you and your grazing livestock so from the blessings that we have that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has blessed this earth is that a seed of grain grows and this is what Allah said in Surah Al-Baqarah he says سبع سنابلة في كل سنبولة مائة وحبه والله يضيف لما يشاء a seed of grain grows seven spikes in each spike there is a hundred grains and Allah سبحانه وتعالى multiplies his reward for whom he wills so it is the blessings of Allah سبحانه وتعالى that makes that keeps this land this earth as blessed as it is as giving as it is as generous as it is and we all know that there are certain places on this earth that are blessed for example مكة المدينة القدس and we know that in the city سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم says فيها روضة من رياضي الجنة روضة من رياضي الجنة it's a garden it's the road of Sharifa that whenever you go there you feel tranquility you feel at peace so try always to get try your best to get there just to see the blessings that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has placed in these places in these blessed parts of this earth also of the blessed places we have سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم said in the Hadith اللهم بارك لنا في شامنا و يمننا ya Allah make Sham the area of Sham and Egypt and Yemen bless these places ya Allah so try again to visit the places of Barakah and also try to visit the people the blessed people the people of Barakah whom Allah سبحانه وتعالى has given some secrets these are blessed people and we go back to the first word تبارك اللذي بيده الملك الله سبحانه وتعالى is blessed so he blessed people he blessed places he blessed so many things again he blessed time سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم says بورك لأمتي في بكورها my people my nation will have the blessings at the beginning of the day so this is this is the time after Fajr سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم used to wake his wife and say wake up and witness the provisions being distributed if you want to do anything you wake up early just to get as much time in Barakah as you can and the morning time the Fajr time is blessed so you will achieve more things in the early hours of the day than you would during the day and we know that after Juma prayer there is a special Barakah that سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم الله سبحانه وتعالى said there is a special Barakah at that time days out of the days يوم الجمعة the day Friday is a blessed day Monday is a blessed day all the days there are certain things certain blessings that Allah سبحانه وتعالى placed in certain times of the year of the week of the month so try not to miss this Barakah and of course there is a special blessing a special Barakah at that time at the last hour of the night when Allah سبحانه وتعالى descends down and listens to those people who are asking him who are making Dua who are searching for their for Allah's help for Allah's guidance for Allah's forgiveness you will say ألا من مستغفر فأغفر لحا ألا من سائر فأعطيع so Allah is listening to us these are blessed times to make advantage of this time تبارك الذي بيده الملك وهو على كل شيء قدير what does it mean what does the word بيده الملك mean in whose hand is dominion okay what does it mean Allah says in صورة آل عمران قولي اللهم مالك الملك تقتي الملك من تشاء وتنزع الملك من من تشاء وتعز من تشاء وتزل من تشاء وتشاء بيدك الخير say oh Allah honor of dominion you give sovereignty power to whom you will and you take power away from whom you will you honor whom you will and you humble whom you will in your hand is all good so Allah سبحانه وتعالى says بيده الملك he is the owner of everything and he does whatever he wants without anyone to question him or without anyone to ask him why you did this and you didn't do that so Allah is the owner of everything he gives power he gives provision to whoever he wishes whether a believer or not believer and we know that Allah gave the power he gave the فرعون for example was the king of Egypt who gave him this authority Allah gave it to him نمرود was also one of the bad kings and he was he had a lot of things so what happens here Allah سبحانه وتعالى gives everyone whether he deserve it or not when he gave Sayyidna Dawood عليه السلام he gave him what did he say what Allah سبحانه وتعالى يا جبال وأويبي معه وطير وقلنا له الحديد يا جبال وقلنا وقلنا our praises with him and the birds as well وقلنا وقلنا for him إيران so Allah can give whoever whom he wants whom he wills whoever he wants to give and if we are going to give about the blessings that we have we will take days to talk about them but always remember that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has given us so much blessings he has created us and he has perfected us he has he has given us a lot and we have to thank Allah سبحانه وتعالى we have to say كما ينبغي لجلال وجهك وعظيم سلطانك يا ربنا لا نحصيثنا أن عليك أنت كما أثنيت على نفسك we cannot praise you the way you deserve to be praised يا الله so Allah سبحانه وتعالى says in the next ayah الذي خلق الموت والحياة ليبلوكم أيكم أحسن وعملم وهو العزيز الغفور so Allah He created death and life to test you as to which of you is best indeed who does the best deed and he is the exalted in might the forgiving so this ayah and the few ayahs that will follow will show the power of Allah سبحانه وتعالى would list so many things that show the power of Allah سبحانه وتعالى so the first thing Allah created death and life what is death what is life life is the the union between the the body when someone is alive then he has a soul and he has a body but death is the separation between the soul and the body so when someone dies we said his soul his soul left him he doesn't have any soul so he becomes just nothing cannot move cannot talk because he lost his soul so Allah سبحانه وتعالى what he did he created death on the form of a male sheep okay so and we know the hadith says يؤتى بالموت يوم القيامة على صورة كبش أملح on the day of judgment death will be brought as a male on the form of a male a sheep فينادى يا أهل النار يشرئبون وينظرون so there will be a call يا أهل النار all people of her fire so they would look up and they would want to see why are they being called they will have some hope that they are going to be away فإذا بكبش كبير يمسكه الملائكة so they find a big male sheep being held by the angels and they will be asked يا أهل النار تعرفون هذا all people of her fire do you know this they would say yes this is death يقولون نعم هذا الموت وينادى أهل الجنة the people of paradise will be called يا أهل الجنة all people of paradise فيشرئبون وينظرون so they would look happily they want to see you they want to hear what's going to happen فيرون الكبش so they will see the male sheep يا أهل الجنة تعرفون هذا they will be asked all people of paradise do you know this فيقولون نعم هذا الموت so they would answer yes this is death فيزبح بين الجنة وينادى أهل الجنة so this male sheep will be slaughtered between between paradise and hellfire so everyone will see that death is being slaughtered وينادى منادن and someone will call يا أهل النار خلودا فلا موت فيتصارخون ويدعو بعضهم على بعض بالويل والثبور so there will be someone to call all people of hellfire you will be in hellfire for forever no death just eternity now in hellfire so they will cry and they will curse each other and they will they will say so they will ask Allah to distract those people who made them in hellfire so they will be in they will be realizing that this is reality now there is no out of this position where they are in they cannot get out now what happens to the people of paradise so the people of paradise will feel happy that they are everlasting in the paradise so death is a creature was created but being created means that he has a beginning and an end so at the end death will die death will be slaughtered because it was created only Allah created death only for the people of dunya but the people of akhira are not going to die they will be resting forever in either hell or paradise and while dunya is going to perish Allah سبحانه وتعالى called dunya alfania the ending the perishable and while akhira is staying is going to be there so Allah سبحانه وتعالى called al akhira be al baqia al baqia the one that will be everlasting so this is what Allah سبحانه وتعالى did for death it is being slaughtered Allah سبحانه وتعالى has created us in this dunya and he sent us the messengers he gave us the intellect and he he made so many things in front of us just the good things and the bad things so we have to choose our path he made several tests for us we finish one test we get to the other one we finish the other one we get to the one that follows until until we will die when we die then we will be resurrected again and when we are resurrected again our deeds will be scaled so we have to remember say it now Omar when he says من وجد خيرا فاليحمد الله whoever finds good at the end then he should thank Allah سبحانه وتعالى ومن وجد غير ذلك فلا يلومن إلا نفسه and whoever finds anything other than good then he is the one to be he should blame himself only so Allah سبحانه وتعالى says is the one who has the power the might but even though he is so powerful he is still الغفور الغفور is the one who forgives he forgives anyone who comes repenting to him and he does he veils that person he never exposes his servants and not only that he even replaces his bad deeds with good ones الذي خلق سبعة سماوات طباقة الله سبحانه وتعالى has created seven heavens in layers ما ترا في خلق الرحمن من تفاوت you do not see in the creation of the most merciful any inconsistency you do not see any defect فرجع البصرة هل ترا من فطور look at the sky do you see any defect الله سبحانه وتعالى created seven heavens one above each other there are not one layer seven heavens and he created them in so much perfection and they are so beautiful there is not a single defect in either one of them so الله سبحانه وتعالى asked us to look at the skies فرجع البصر look at the skies enjoy your sight with the beauty of the skies هل ترامي فطور look at the skies enjoy your sight هل ترامي فطور do you see any any defect in my creation ثمرجع البصرة كرتين ينقلب إليك البصر خاصي أن ينقلب إليك البصر خاصي أن وهو حسير then look again and again and again even if you try as hard as you can to find a defect in the sky you will never be able you will never be able your vision will not find anything wrong in the sky and it will get fatigued just trying to find a defect in the sky so as I mentioned these are all سوئة that show the power of الله سبحانه وتعالى و لقد زينا السماء الدنيا بمصابحة وجعلناها رجوما للشياطين وأعتدنا لهم عذاب السعير and we have certainly beautified the nearest haven to you with stars and have made them from these stars we made shooting stars thrown at the devils who want to get the knowledge from the sky so to give it to those people who work with the devil just to deceive people and have prepared for them the punishment of the blaze is that Allah created this sky الله سبحانه وتعالى adorned this sky with those beautiful amazing stars that if they were not there then you will see that at night the sky is as if as if it is just a ceiling a roof that has no light وَلِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَبِئْسَ المَصِيرَ and for those who disbelieved in their lord is the punishment of hell and dredged in the destination so those people who denied the signs of Allah who belied the messengers of Allah who did not believe in the prophets of Allah those are the people of Hellfire and would that be a good place to be in وَبِئْسَ المَصِيرَ and this is the worst ever place that they will be in إذا ألقوا فيها سميع لها شهيقا وهي تفور when they are thrown into Hellfire they will hear from it a dreadful inhaling while it boils up so imagine how boiling that fire is it was heated 50.000 years until it was until it was it was boiling and boiling and boiling so each and every 50.000 years would give it a special color for this blazing fire تكاد تميز من الغيز كلما ألقي فيها فوج سألهم خزانتها ألم يأتيكم نذير it almost bursts with rage every time a group of people are thrown into it the keepers of Hellfire would ask them did they not come to you a warner قالوا بلا وجاءنا نذير فكذبنا وقلنا ما نزل الله من شيء إن أنتم إلا في ضلال كبير so their answer would be yes a warner had came to us but we denied we denied and we said Allah has not sent down anything so it will be said you are not but in a great error you did so bad for yourselves so the Hellfire will be so angry and it will be blazing in fire so what will happen to them we mentioned last time we mentioned last week when we talked about the people of Hellfire that Allah سبحانه وتعالى would put them in that fire that that is blazing blazing so hard so their their skin would melt so every time their skins are roasted they will be replaced with other skins so they will taste real punishment and they did that because they belied in dunya they did not believe what Allah سبحانه وتعالى has promised them they did not accept the idea of being resurrected وقالوا لو كنا نسمعوا أو نعقلوا يجب عليهم وقالوا إذا only we had been listening إذا only we listened إذا only we reasoned we would not be among the people of the place we wish we wish we did not belied we wish we did not disobey we wish we we did not do all the bad deeds that we have done so sorry for themselves فعطا رفوا بذنبهم فسوح قلد يصحابي سعير فسوح قلد يصحابي سعير فسوح قلد يصحابي سعير they will admit their sins so what will happen to them so it is any nature for the companions of the place they when they said we wish we accepted we wish we thought we wish we reasoned then by this they assured that they were not the people who thought correctly they admitted that they did not follow the right path they admitted that they did not accept the directions of the orders of the messengers so what happened to them they did not get into anything good all they got was the hellfire فعطا رفوا بذنبهم and they admitted that they were wrong so now they will feel they will feel wretched for so many reasons first of all they know that they were they were not thinking correctly in the dunya they did not follow the right path they will know that they will be placed in hellfire they are sure that after death is being slaughtered that there is no way out of hellfire and they will know for sure that they missed a lot of blessings that the bounties that Allah has prepared for the righteous people so they will feel sorry for themselves they will feel bad that they have done that to themselves and insha'Allah next time we will talk about those who feared Allah what happened to them so Allah has revealed this amazing surah and we have talked about the blessings of this surah so insha'Allah from now on we will be reading surah insha'Allah before but time after aisha the time that you choose and while understanding the meanings it will be more it will be more soothing to our heart to read it and to contemplate to think of the meanings of these ayahs and reading وصل الله على سيدنا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم يا ربنا لك الحمد كما ينبغي لجلال وجيك وعظيم السلطانك اللهم انا نسألك من خير ما سألك منه عبدك ونبيك محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم ونعوذ بك من شرم استعادك منه سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم اللهم انا نسألك من الخير عاجله واجله ما علبنا منه وما لم نعلم
