 As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim wa Salatu wa As-salamu ala Sayyidina wa Nabiyina Muhammadin wa Alaa Ali wa Sahbihi wa Salim Ya Rabbana lakal hamdu kamaa yam baghili jalal wa jilka wa adhina Sultanaq, Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim Today insha'Allah we will be starting with the Tafsir of Surah Al-Waq'a Surah Al-Waq'a starts the name of the Surah is another name of Al-Waq'a is another name for Yawm Al-Qiyamah and you know that Yawm Al-Qiyamah has several names Al-Qamah, Al-Haqqah, Al-Qariah So each one of these names look at Yawm Al-Qiyamah from a different perspective, from a different angle And insha'Allah we will be talking more about the Surah in general after we finish the Tafsir of the Surah So we start insha'Allah Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim إذا وقاعة الواقع So when we all come back again after death when we come back to Allah SWT And this is a promise that Allah has given us There will be a day of judgment There will be a day that everyone is going to be back in front of Allah SWT And all people or actions, everything will be scaled so that people will be grouped People of the right, people who are the three groups We have the people of the right Those people who are forerunners and the people of the left And we will see that insha'Allah while we are doing the Tafsir insha'Allah So ليس لواقعتيها كادبة So this promise that Allah SWT promised is going to happen So there is at its occurrence no denial When it happens, no one can deny it Those people who used to deny it in the dunya they will be sure that there is a day of judgment when it happens And at that time they will know that what have we done They will realize that they were losers They will realize that they were wrong They will realize that they did something bad خافضة رافعة So at that time on the day of judgment it will bring down some people and it will raise up others It will bring down those who belied it those who did not believe in Allah those who did not believe in the messengers those who did not believe in the Qur'an and the orders that Allah SWT they did not fulfill the orders of Allah SWT And it will raise up other people it will raise up the believers those who used to do their best to prepare for it So they will be elevated they will be raised up in the blessings that they will be finding in Jannah So what will happen on that day إذا رجة الأرض رجة When the earth is shaken with convulsion We know that the earth we mentioned it earlier in previous surahs when we explained Juz-e-amah the 30th Juz-e we found out that the earth is fixed with mountains The word رجة to this verb means رج is to shake things to keep shaking things until you take it out So when there is a peg in the ground and you want to take it off you don't just snatch it up no, you shake it and then you take it and that will make taking it out easier So Allah SWT says in Surat Al-Hajj إِنَّ زَلْزَلَتَ السَّاعَةِ شِيْئِمْ عَظِيمَ Indeed the confulsion of the hour is a terrible thing Also إِذَا زُنْزِلَتِ الأرضُ زِلْزَالَحَةَ When the earth is shaken with its earthquake so there will be a shake there will be a huge shake on that day وَبُسَّةِ الجِبَالُوا بَسَّةَ And the mountains are broken down, crumbling So what will happen to the mountains to the steady fast mountains that are holding the earth in place? فَكَانَتْ هَبَاءَ مُنْبَثَّةَ So these mountains they will become dust flying in the air What does the word هَبَاءَ مِنْ If you look at the sun rays you will see small particles flying in the air And these particles you cannot see them if there is no rays, no sun rays So the mountains will be broken down and they will become dust flying in the air same as these small particles that you see So they will be flying in the air because these mountains الله سبحانه وتعالى told us in Surah Al-Qarih وَتَكُونُوا الْجِبَالُوا كَالْعِهْنِ المَنْفُوشِ So the mountains will be like wool fluffed up Normally these small particles they stay in the air the ones that we see if we look at the sun rays they stay in the air they fly in the air Why? Because they don't have any weight that the gravity of the air would pull them down The mountains will be the same they will be dust flying in the air وَكُونْتُمْ اَزْوَاجَنْ ثَلَافَا So and you people will become of three kinds So Allah سبحانه وتعالى is telling us here that the people first of all he's telling us about the everything what will happen to everything and we saw earlier when in Surah Al-Shams الله سبحانه وتعالى would say اِذَا شَمْسُكُوا وِرَتْ So the sun will be like a bowl and it will be thrown so there will be no light for the sun it will not be burning anymore وَاِذَا سَمَاءُكُشِطَتْ The sky will split a sander اِذَا البِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ The rivers, the sea, the oceans will have a blast so there won't be anything but what happens to you people you will belong to one of the following three kinds three types so each one of you will belong to one of these groups what are these groups اصحاب الميمنة ما اصحاب الميمنة the companions of the right and what do you know about the companions of the right what are the companions of the right here the repetition tells us that there is something important we have to pay attention to what is going to be said it's not just repeating the words Allah is attracting our attention to listen to what's going to be said the people of the right those are the people of the khair so any person who has khair inside his khair will be spread to him and to others the benefit will be for him and for others so if you have any khair just pass it to people so everyone will enjoy that khair if you know something if you love Sayyidina Muhammad SAW share it with people so that people will have the same khair if you do good tell people to do good so that everyone will have khair so these are the people of Allah SWT this group is فأما من قوتي كتابه بيمينه فيقولها امقرأ كتابية اني ظلمت اني ملاق الحسابية فهو في عيشة راضية في جنة عالية اطوفها دانية كلوا وشربوا هنيئا بما استلفتم في الأيام الخالية so this is the people of the right so as far for those who are given the record in the right hand that person will say here read my record indeed I was certain I would be held into account so he will be in a pleasant life in an elevated garden it's a fruit to be picked hanging near so they will eat and drink in satisfaction for what Allah SWT has guided them has made them prepare for these past for the past days they lived in they prepared themselves for the akhirah so these are the people of the people who received the record in the right hand those are the اصحاب اليمين اصحاب الميمنا but the other group is اصحاب الشيمال so this is the next اصحاب الشيمال لماء اصحاب الشيمال and the people of the left what are the people of the left again when we want to know an explanation of an ayah we take another ayah that we see what's been said in other ayahs and we see here but for those who were given the records in the left hand that person will say I wish I had not been given my record ولم ادريما حسابية I wish I hadn't known what is my account يا ليتها كانت القاضية I wish my death had been the decision of one ما اغنعني مالية my wealth has not failed me هلك عن لي سلطانيا and my authority has failed me خذوه فهلوه seize him and chuckle him ثم في سلسلة زرعوها سبعون ذراعا فسلقون then into a chain whose length is 70 cupids insert him إنه كان لا يؤمن بالله العظيم indeed he did not he did not used to believe in Allah the most great so those are the people of the left now what is the third group وَسَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُون and the forerunners the forerunners who are those forerunners they used to hasten to do to fulfill Allah's order Allah says something then they would immediately do it so now we have three groups if we want to order them from higher to lower we will see السَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُون the forerunners and below them there will be السَّابُ المَيْمَنَ the people of the right so below this السَّابُ المَيْمَنَ we will have السَّابُ الشِمَال the people of the left now someone since his early life is doing good so now I'm going to differentiate a little bit between السَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ and the forerunners so if someone since his early life he was doing good and he remained good until and he will fulfill the orders of Allah SWT until he dies so that person will be of السَّابِقُون but what about the people of the forerunners who is this group these are someone who in early life did something bad and they were not as good as the first categories they who has to do everything on time to please Allah SWT no the ashab al yameen did some sins were a little bit bad their early life but later they repented and they became good people and they became they wanted to please Allah SWT they wanted to do what they they want to make it up for the time they did not they were not as good as they are they were now so we call these people ashab al yameen and we know ashab al shemaal ashab al shemaal are those who got in all their lives they used to do bad bad deeds and they remained so until they died so those are the people of ashab al shemaal and these are the three categories that Allah SWT has mentioned at the beginning of the surah and we are going to read more now about them during the surah now Allah SWT saying wa ssaabiquna ssaabiqun let's talk about this group now wa ssaabiquna ssaabiqun those are the forerunners those are the ones who hasten to to do whatever Allah wants to fulfill the orders of Allah SWT and they are so quick in doing that so who are those people ulaika almukarrabun those are the ones who brought near those are the ones who brought near but near what? all all are getting into paradise so what is this near? each in his own garden enjoying the countless blessings that Allah has prepared for him but what are they brought near to? muqarrabun to the throne this is the level that we are all working for to be assaabiquna ssaabiqun assaabiqun are those people who compete who compete to do good deeds and they are they and they win and they they win their companions so who are those? Allah SWT said in Surah al-Mutafifin wa fidhalika falyatana fasil mutana fisun so for that let the competitors compete what is what is let the competitors compete how can we understand this? the companions at the time of Sayyidina Muhammad SAW used to ask each other how many raqas did you pray at night? how many days did you fast at this week? how many ayahs have you memorized? how many khatams did you finish? this is the way that they used to compete with they don't compete in dunya this lady bought a ring I'm gonna buy a better ring this lady had a house I'm gonna try to get a better house so this is not the competition the real competition is to do what Allah SWT asks us to do the real competition is to please Allah SWT the real competition is to wake up at night to pray to raqas when all people are are sleeping the real competition is to go on getting closer to Allah SWT and to Sayyidina Muhammad SAW to make istighfar to send Salawat to Sayyidina Muhammad SAW this is how righteous people compete even if you notice that when someone dies they say that the jana'zah was going fast what does this mean? they say that when a person dies he will see his position will it be in jannah or in hellfire if it's in jannah he will say qaddimuni, qaddimuni please don't delay me, don't delay me don't make me wait for the blessings that I'm going to enjoy and that's why they say the jana'zah was going fast they Subhanallah so what this happened when this happened they don't want to get delayed from getting the reward and those people who are who die such a peaceful death you will see if you look at their faces when they die you will see that they are smiling so they saw what is waiting for them and that's why you see Subhanallah his face was radiant Subhanallah, his face became more beautiful so this is what it means to have to be of the group wassabiqun, assabiqun we are still now this is the dunya level so what will happen to them? what will happen in the day after? so we said they will brought near near the throne they will be fi jannahina'im they will be in the gardens in the gardens of pleasure thullatun minal awwaleen wa qaleelun minal akhirin there will be a large group thullah means big group large group large group of the former people and a few of the later people what does this mean? at the time of Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the companions were so many and a lot of them were of the people of jannah so this is a big group of the former people they're going to jannah wa qaleelun minal akhirin but in our days what happened? dunya became had stronger effect on people the everything in this dunya more attachment to dunya so people became less wa qaleelun minal akhirin and a few people of the later people because those people were going into the affairs where more dunya was involved to them so this was what happened this was what they faced now wa qaleelun minal akhirin but again Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was merciful to His ummah and He said the people at the last of the days they the one who is on the right path will be as if he is holding a piece of coal in his hand so much dunya to avoid so much of the hinges so much of the obstacles that we have to to be to cross so to be of the sadaquna sadaquna so thullatun minal awwali wa qaleelun minal akhirin what happens to them ala sururin mauduna so those people will be on high beds woven with ornaments mauduna is the the strings that they were made of are made of gold so imagine the beauty of the beds that we will be on insha'Allah muttakiina alayha mutaqabilin so they are reclining on their high beds and they're facing each other we feel happy to see each other so they would they would say oh we used to compete in dunya for we used to be to compete in how much ibadah we used to do and never they never had any bad intention that they are doing this just to show off never it's just for the akhirah it's just for the sake of Allah swt muttakiina alayha mutaqabilin yatufu alayhim wil-danum mukhalladun so they will circulate among them young boys made eternal and they are nice kind people boys kind boys who do not get older then they will be serving the people of jannah and even by the way even the people of jannah will not will not will always be age and they will will always be young they will not they will not age so yatufu alayhim wil-danum mukhalladun young boys will circulate among them with what bi'aqbabin wa abariqa wa kaqsinin ma'in we have three things here vessels pictures and cups from flowing spring now let's talk about the three types first and see what's the difference so a qab is plural the singular is qub and qub is the glass that we drink from or the container that we drink from which does not have a handle and it doesn't have a place to pour from and on the other side so this is the qub the ibriq the ibriq is a pitcher that has a handle you will hold it from and it has a place where to to make the water go out of it so there will be a so we call this a pitcher al-qaqas al-qaqas is al-qaqas should be should be full to call it qas when it's empty we do not we do not call it qas so now so we have bi'aqbabin wa abariqa wa kaqsinin ma'in al-ma'in wa al-ma'ul jari the flowing water now when we say the word qas the word qas is always used to drink wine in in it but what type of wine is it la yusabda'oona anha wa la yunzi full no headache will they have their way from nor they will be intoxicated when they drink this wine that Allah has prepared for them for the winners in the akhirah they will not have a headache the word yusabda'oona or the word sada'a'a in Arabic is a headache and when someone has a headache it will turn his day up and up and down it will be so bad for the person who has a headache he will not enjoy anything he will feel so the physical state will be so upset so headache is terrible but the drink that this wine that they will drink it will not it will not cause headaches so now we are known we know for sure that we are talking about wine and there is a difference between the wine of the akhirah and the wine of dunya the wine of the akhirah does not cause headache does not cause vomiting so yunzi full la yusabda'oona and hawa la yunzi full they don't vomit because when people drink wine in dunya first of all the cups of wine are so small and they drink the shots drudges very quickly because it's not tasty so they drink it quickly and normally it causes problems to the stomach problems to the liver problems to the it will cause headache and it will cause the intellect to be unaware so the person would be violent the person would be hitting, cursing people will fear him and when he walks he will walk right and left so it's terrible but the hammer of the akhirah the hammer of the akhirah is different why would people drink wine in dunya? as we said wine will cause their the intellect just it will cause a person to be unaware of what's going on and people have so many things that worry them that that will make them upset so when they drink the wine they will stop their intellect their minds from thinking about their problems so they will enjoy that thinking free time for a short period of time but they will suffer long after it whereas islam protects us islam does not want this these terrible things to happen to us so when someone has a problem he has to think about it he has where did this problem come from what's the reason of this problem how can i find solutions and resolutions for this problem until he gets out of the problem so he doesn't just want something to veil his mind not to think about it no that's not the way to to get out of problems of dunya and there are so many countless problems in this dunya whereas the khamr of the akhira the khamr of the akhira the wine of the akhira is described in surah muhammad allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says wa anharun min khamrin less than the shayneedin allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has prepared rivers of wine delicious to those who drink them so this is what the young boys are circulating cups and pictures of wine and there will be fruits of what they select they they would think of something and it will come near to them and they will pick it up but there is a difference between what they have in dunya in taste and what they have in the akhira in surah al-baqarah allah says whenever they are provided with the provision of fruit their farm they will say this is what we were provided with before this is what we have in dunya here is a mango and there is a mango we ate mango we ate mango we ate mango we ate mango we ate mango we ate mango we ate mango and it's given to them in likeness only but the taste is nothing they knew of so they know this is a mango but when they eat it it's completely different than the taste they had in dunya so now they started their meal with the fakihah with the fruits and then they will be provided with the meat and do this in dunya try to eat fruits before you eat your main dish and the meat of fawwaw the meat of birds the meat of delicious this delicious meat that will be provided in the akhira from whatever they desire whatever they think of they will come to them whatever they will have in mind it will be slaughtered what do they want it for baked whatever they have in mind it will be just on plates provided to them now they had wine they had fruits they had meat wahoor or naeen this is extra now and from them are fair women with large beautiful eyes so their eyes are so beautiful they are large eyes the blackness of the eye is super black the whiteness of the eye is super white and this is one of the best most beautiful eyes you can find the poet says the eyes that have wahoor or naeen the eyes have this special beauty which is the darkness of the black and the whiteness of the white it's very very charming so these types of eyes when you look at them you feel as if they kill you with their beauty wahoor or naeen and thirdly so the likeness of pearls well protected everything Allah has created perfected and the countless bounties the countless bounties that they will have in the day of judgment is something that no one can think of no one have heard of no one can even imagine why would they have that jazaan bima kaan wia amadoon so this is a reward for what they used to do this is a reward for what they how they used to fulfill the orders of Allah swt those are who hastened to do everything that Allah wanted and quickly they wanted to fulfill the orders of Allah swt quickly as soon as they can no one can listen to it no one will not listen they will not hear there in ill speech nor commission of sin Allah what does Allah mean? Allah has the just the new words that no khayr makes just talk it such a thing in Jannah. Wala te'athima and no one is going to have any sin in Jannah. They will not, they will not hear any bad words in Jannah. But they will only hear the phrase salam, peace, peace. They will breathe each other, people of Jannah will breathe each other with peace. The angels will breathe them with peace, salam. And the highest honor and the most pleasing thing is what was mentioned in Surah Tiyasim when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will say to people, salam. And we always read it in Surah Tiyasim when we say, salamun qawla min rabbir rahim. This word, salam, is the word that will be said by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala directly to those people, salam. And that's why so many Arabs will name their daughters, their babies, salam. It's the peace word that Allah will greet His people in the day of judgment. So this is the first group that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has mentioned in the first part of Surah Tuaqa. So those are the ones who hasten, the ones who want to do whatever Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala very quickly. Those are the four runners to fulfill the orders of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Now if we move to the second, if we move to the second group, those are the group of Ashabu-l-Yameen. And we mentioned that in the difference between Ashabu-l-Qun, Ashabu-l-Qun and Ashabu-l-Yameen, Ashabu-l-Qun, Ashabu-l-Qun are the people who do good from early life till their death. And the people of Ashabu-l-Yameen are those who used to do good and bad at the beginning of their life, but then they repented and used to do everything good. So what is this group now? So these are the companions of the right. What are the companions of the right? Again, Allah has repeated this word, these two words, just to get our attention to what He is going to say. Ashabu-l-Yameen, ashabu-l-Yameen are the people who do good from early life till their death. So they will be among a note tree, with the trunks removed. We know the Zezifas, Christi, they call it in Arabic, the fruit of this tree is huge. It's very big, and it's so delicious when it is ripe. But what's the difference between it and between what we will find in Akhirah that trunks are removed? Why would they have trunks in the dunya so that the mice and the worms would not crawl up and eat it? So it's a protection in dunya. So ashabu-l-Yameen, ashabu-l-Yameen, and ashabu-l-Yameen, ashabu-l-Yameen are the people who do good from early life. And the trunks are removed. It says that the trunks are the bananas. So the trunks are removed and banana tree is layered with fruit. And if you look at the banana tree, you will see the from the shape of the tree is so attractive. The fruits are facing each others, the leaves are facing each others. It's different from any other tree. There will be extended shade. So the will be the shade of the in the Akhirah, the shade of the trees will be extended. You won't see something a place where there's very heavy work and so sunny you cannot sit in it at high temperature. No, there will be shade everywhere. The shade is extended. And water poured out. And as I mentioned earlier, we just know the name, but the taste will be different. And there will be fruit in abundance. There will be lots of variation. So there will be lots of things that Allah has prepared for the second group of people and there will be beds raised high. Again, imagine everything that Allah has prepared for the people of Jannah. And I'm sure we are all longing to be there now. I think we will stop here, insha'Allah. And we will continue next week.
