 السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والصلاة والسلام علي سيدنا ونبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم يا ربنا لك الحمد كما ينبغي لجلال وجه كما عضيني سلطانك اللهم يا مقلب القلوب والأبسار ثبت قلوبنا على دينك اللهم إنا نسألك العونا والعف والعافية في المعافات الدائمة يا رحم الراحيمين بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم وصلنا today we are insha'Allah going to talk about Surat Al-Insha'a-Khaq Surat Al-Buruj insha'Allah and depending on how long we have insha'Allah we will be talking about Surat Al-Tareq so let's start with Surat Al-Insha'a-Khaq بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم so far all the stories that we have discussed and talked about in Surat Al-Insha'a-Khaq in Juicy 30 talk about the strengthening the iman and faith of the believers of the new believers and we we've seen so many images of the day after we've seen so many ideas that show that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has warned about some important issues today insha'Allah we will continue talking about the day after and we'll see what will happen in this Surat بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انشقت الله سبحانه وتعالى says إذا السماء انشقت وأذينت لربها وحقات so what will happen when the heaven is split as thunder and listens the heaven by doing this is listening and is obeying its lord so this refers to the day of judgment the stars scatter the sun loses its light so everything in the sky will not be the same everything is off track and this happens because of Allah's command to the heaven to do so so the heaven listens and obeys to Allah's command to split apart وحقات means and it must do so it must obey Allah سبحانه وتعالى so it obeyed Allah's order because this order is great and it cannot be rejected the order of Allah overpowers everything and everything is submissive to the orders of Allah سبحانه وتعالى so this is what happens to the skies to the heaven now what will happen to the earth وإذا الأرض مدة وألقت ما فيها ودخلت وأذينت لربها وحقات again when the earth is stretched forth and has thrown out all that was buried in it again the earth to listen and obey to Allah's order so what will happen to the earth it will expand it will spread out why because it will hold all the creatures all the creations that will be recreated resurrected from everyone is coming out again so everyone is standing before Allah سبحانه وتعالى so Allah has stretched forth and expanded the earth and this earth has thrown out all that was buried inside we saw in surat al-zalzana Allah سبحانه وتعالى says إذا زلزلة الأرض زلزالها وأخرجة الأرض أسقال أثقالها when the earth be the shake the earth will send out all the people that were buried inside and she is doing that the earth is doing that it is doing that because it's obeying its lord's command and it must obey Allah's orders يا أيها الإنسان إنك كادحا إلى ربك كدهامث ملاقي أوما you are doing whatever you are doing in this life you are every day every day you start a fresh day this day ends and every day that ends is getting you closer to your death and when you die this means that you are meeting Allah سبحانه وتعالى so what are you going to bring with you before Allah سبحانه وتعالى your deeds so you will get your deeds whether good or bad or good or evil and you will be rewarded for that فما من أوتية كتابه بيمينه فسوف يحاسب حسابا يسيرا then he whose record is given in his right hand he shall have an easy reckoning without difficulties he will not be asked and investigated for all the minute details of his deeds and we know Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said من نوطش الحسابا عضب whoever is interrogated during reckoning then he will be punished and that's why we ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى in one of the dua اللهم ادخلنا الجنة بدون سابقة حساب Allah is the most generous he can do whatever he want always have حسن الضن بالله سبحانه وتعالى when you have the good opinion in Allah سبحانه وتعالى whatever you think of him will happen وينقلبوا إلى أهله مسرورة so that person who got his record in his right hand سوف يحاسب حسابا يسيرا will have an easy reckoning وينقلبوا إلى أهله مسرورة and shall return to his folks in paradise of course they are there rejoicing, delighted he will be happy by what Allah سبحانه وتعالى has given him he will be happy that he was saved from hellfire وينقلبوا إلى أهله مسرورة that's the highest of rejoicing وأما من قوته كتابه وراء ظهره but whoever is given his record behind his back so his left hand is being bent behind his back and he will be holding his record with his left hand behind his back so what will happen to him فسوف يدعو سبورة ويصل سعيرا he shall call for death he would wish that he never got his record he knew now that it will be eternal torment سوف يدعو سبورة ويصل سعيرا and he shall enter a blazing fire he will taste all types of torment fire حميم غساق ذقوم أغلال so fire the boiling drinks فسوف يدعو سبورة ويصل سعيرا he will wish يدعو سبورة ويصل سعيرا which will never happen إنه كان في أهله مسرورة so what's the reason for his being in جهنم now for his being in hellfire فرالي he was completely in joy among his folks he never feared the future he never feared the day after he never thought of resurrection his light happiness which he lived in دنيا will be followed by long grief رسول الله صم الله عليه وسلم says يؤتى بأتعاسي أهل الدنيا فيغمس وغمسة في الجنة the worst person or the person who lived his worst life poverty illness bad luck everything and he was always thankful to الله سبحانه وتعالى he was always obeying الله سبحانه وتعالى that person will be brought in the day after and he will be immersed in just one for one second in الجنة and then he will be taken out and he will be asked have you ever seen any bad luck have you ever seen any bad moment have you ever lived anything not happy with you he will say no, by Allah I never saw anything bad he will be asked are you happy with your status you say by Allah I'm happy with Allah سبحانه وتعالى with whatever he predestined for me and I witness that I'm satisfied but I want you to be satisfied with me then another person who would be from the best people's life one person who is living all the luxurious life he will be he is a bad person he will be brought and he will be immersed in one for one second in hellfire and he will be taken out and he will be asked he will be asked have you ever seen any good fortune any happiness any luxurious life and he will say no, by Allah nothing and by this we know that all the non-halal luxury will be taken away and only the sin will be following that person until it will lead him to hellfire why was he doing so إنه ظنة اللي يحور he thought he thought that he would never return so no resurrection no resurrection after death and he was mistaken why because Allah says بلا إن ربه كان به بصيرا yes, verily his lord was ever watching him his lord has been ever beholding him he will get him back and give him the punishment he deserves Allah is all-knowing الله سبحانه وتعالى ظن and does the swear so what فلا أقسم بالشفق oh no I swear with redness of the horizon you see this time before the sunset or after the sunset this redness in the sky this is what Allah is swearing by so the redness that appears the setting of the sun until it's completely dark so الله سبحانه وتعالى is swearing here by this time وَلَيْلِ وَمَا وَسَبْقَنْ he is swearing by the night and what it gathers together what it has together everybody goes back at night to his home so stars will be there and those people at night everything goes back at home and everything will be together so الله is swearing by this time وَلَقَمَرِ إِذَا تَسَقْ and Allah is swearing also by the moon when it becomes full when it completes it's cycle so the light will have full light and this is the most beneficial and the most beautiful time of the moon so what is Allah سبحانه وتعالى is swearing about لتركبنا طبقا عن طبق you will surely pass from one stage to another from one stage to another you'll be an infant then a child this is one stage from child to adult another stage from adult to old age old age to death to birth to resurrection to reckoning reckoning to reward or punishment so there will be state after state you will pass by a state of ease then it will be followed by difficulty or difficulty followed by ease wealth after poverty health after sickness always in changing of states who created all this الله سبحانه وتعالى فما لهم لا يؤمنون what's the matter with them what's the matter with these people they don't want to believe وإذا قرئ عليهم القرآن لا يسجدون and when the Quran is being recited before them they would not per straight so now when you pass by an ayah that has a sajdah you have to make it if you are in a class you delay it until the end of the class or if you are teaching you delay it until the end of the class until you finish your teaching but remember to do سجود التلاوة it's one sajdah you just you need to have for that you say الله أكبر سبحانه وتعالى there are so many du'as in that and especially for سجود التلاوة so why are they وإذا قرئ عليهم القرآن لا يسجدون بل الذين كفروا يكذبون لا يسجدون they deny resurrection they oppose the truth الله أعلم بما يعون and الله سبحانه وتعالى knows best why they are collecting what they are collecting in their records الله knows what's inside the hearts الله knows everything they do whether they do it in secret or in public so what will happen to those non believers فبشيرهم بعذابين أليم therefore you give them the good news of painful torment the word بشيرهم is normally in Arabic used to give good news so this is a style of being saturated so الله سبحانه وتعالى is saying then give them inform them and announce to them that there will be in painful torment إلا الذين أمنوا except for those who believe وعملوا الصالحات and do righteous good deeds and remember always in the Quran when الله سبحانه وتعالى talks about الذين أمنوا because faith alone is not enough doing good deeds alone is not enough you have to have both of them إلا الذين أمنوا وعملوا الصالحات لهم أجرن غير ممنون so only those who believe and do righteous good things only those shall have a reward that never comes to an end those who followed the orders and fulfilled their duties will be highly rewarded with a reward that will never decrease and it will never end and this this reward will be without measure it will be a gift without an end and we have seen how الله سبحانه وتعالى the numerous bounties that الله سبحانه وتعالى would prepare for the people of the people of heaven in the day after so this is what الله سبحانه وتعالى has revealed in Surah 2 in Sheikah now we will be moving to Surah 2 in Surah 2 in Surah 2 we have a story of a young boy a story of a sorcerer and a story of a king so what happened it's one story so what happened there was a king who who had a sorcerer and this magician became old so he asked the king to give him a boy so to teach him magic so one boy was assigned for this job so what happened the boy would come everyday for to learn magic and he would go back home everyday the same thing on the way one of the days he met a monk and the boy stopped and listened to him he admired his speech so the boy would be late for his for the magic magic class and he will be listening and enjoying the monk's speech everyday he would stop for him he will stop there he will listen he will learn from the monk and then he will go to his class now what happened the when he is late for the sorcerer the sorcerer will hit him and when he would go back home late his family would hit him so he told that to the monk and he said if the sorcerer would want to hurt you you will say my family delayed me and you do the same for your family the sorcerer delayed me and time passed by one day there was a huge terrible creature at the end of the road so people were unable to pass and they were so frightened at this moment the boy said he took a stone a big stone and he said I want to know now which one is better the monk or the sorcerer and he said يا الله if the monk is more beloved to you and you are pleased with him and you want me to learn from him and be with him just kill the sorcerer and just kill the animal and hit that beast and he killed it so now everyone knows that there is something special about this boy he went back to the monk and he told him what happened so the monk told him look boy you are going to be someone special in the future just remember that you will be tested do not tell about me so that boy was able to heal people he was able to everyone who is sick at his with his people he would come to him and would ask him to heal him there was a condition for the boy I will not heal you unless you believe in what I believe in and you follow my religion that person would say yes and all his people all his tribe became on his religion now once there was courtier of the king who was blind and when he heard about the boy he went to him and he took gifts and he asked him to cure him and the boy said I don't cure anybody it's the power of Allah that cures everybody it's the will of Allah so you have to be on my religion and I will make dua for you and that person became on his religion the boy made dua and he was cured he got his sight again so when he visited the king the next day the king looked at him and he said what happened to you he said I was cured by Allah and he said by me because the king used to claim that he is Allah that he is the Lord there is no Lord other than him and he said no my Lord and your Lord is Allah the king was so mad and he asked him to go back to the old religion he refused so he got him tortured so badly until he told about the boy so they got the boy now they know that the boy used to treat people from suffering from blindness from leprosy from other diseases and the king asked the boy to go back to the old religion and he said no so he was tortured so badly until he talked and he said mentioned the monk they got the monk and they tortured him to go back I am not going back to this religion which you are following there is no religion you are following a human being and you are considering him a Lord I am not following him so he was tortured they got a soul and that was put in the middle of his head and he was sewn into two parts the same thing happened to the torture of the king when they wanted to kill the boy the king asked them go take him to the mountain and I want a very severe punishment you throw him from the mountain and he will die so they went to the mountain the boy had a very he had faith in his heart so that Allah will save him because he is on the right path so he said oh Allah save me from them so when they reached the top of the mountain the mountain shook and all of the king's men died and he returned back so when the king heard what happened he said just bring him back and get him on a boat to the middle of the sea and throw him there so when they did that he also said that was his that was his so which means Allah saved me from them and Allah got to the so high waves the boat flipped they died and he came back to the king the king was getting crazy and he said all the point is that the king wanted to kill him so he won't affect all the people and may them follow his religion so he told the king look you want to kill me but you will not be able until you do exactly the same as I will tell you now he said what is it how can I kill you you tie me up to a tree you gather people all the people you take a boat from my quiver and you say بسمي رب الهولان in the name of Allah by the name of Allah the lord of the boy so and you throw me the king did that everyone was watching so the boy died the reaction of the people was what the king was afraid of everybody believed in the religion and in the god of the boy and they said we believe in the lord of the boy so the king ordered ditches to be dog and fire was kindled in them huge fire and they would take every person and they would ask him go back a few religion and whoever abandons this new religion let go if they insist to be on that religion then you throw them in that fire and this is called أصحاب الأخدود الأخدود is the ditch أصحاب الأخدود are the people who were thrown in this ditch one person she was a lady a mother she was carrying her infant in her hands and she was hesitant when they asked her she was afraid she was scared for her boy and this is one of the boys who spoke while they were infants we know say and this boy spoke when he was an infant and she was hesitant should she save her boy she save herself the baby said be patient mom you are following the truth and she of course she after these words she did not go back to the previous religion to follow the king so she was thrown in the fire so let's now quickly understand the ayahs بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم و السماء الى البروج الله سبحانه وتعالى is giving an oath here for something so he is swearing by the heaven holding the positions the moon the stars and the plants each in its orbit ذات البروج orbits and everything that's in the sun واليوم المعود اليوم المعود is refers to the day of judgment so Allah is swearing by اليوم المعود by the day of judgment و شاهد و مشهود سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم و سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم و سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم و أكثر برؤية فإن أخبرنا يخبرنا فإن أخبرنا أخبرنا فإن أخبرنا يخبرنا او ساتس على يوم أفضل من يوم الجمعة. شاهد هو يوم الجمعة وما طلعت شمس ولا غربت على يوم أفضل من يوم الجمعة. وفيه ساعة لا يوافقها عبد المسلم يسألوا الله فيها خيرا إلا أعضاه إياه. وفي فردة يوم أفضل لا يوافق المسلم يسألوا الله فيه خيرا إلا أن يوافقه عبد المسلم يسأل الله فيه خيرا. إذا أنت تفعلت دعاء ولم يجب أن تقلق أمين من أمين المسلمين who are repeating and who are responding to your دعاء و الله will give you this دعاء that you are asking for. ولا يستعيز منها فيها من شر إن إلا أعضاه. He does not seek refuge from any evil in this day, in this hour, in this specific time except that Allah will protect him. And by the witness. والمشهود is the witness. So we said وشاهد يوم ومشهود. So شاهد is يوم الجمعة. مشهود is the day of Arafa. So this is what Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم says ومشهود يوم وعرفة. So Allah سبحانه وتعالى is wearing by السماء وليوم المعود وشاهد ومشهود قطيلة أصحاب الأخدود. Doomed and cursed were the people of the ditches. Those who ordered that the ditches are to be dug. Okay. We said earlier that أصحاب الأخدود are the people who were thrown in the hellfire in the ditches. And those people were ordered to be thrown by أصحاب الأخدود. The ones who ordered for the ditches to be dug. الناري ذات الوقود of fire fed with fuel. And what is the fuel of fire? وقودها الناس والحجار. People and stones. So the fire is intensely blazing fuel. إذ هم عليها قعود when they sat by it. And we said that the king, the high people, the close people of the king, they gave the orders. So that if people would not go back from their religion, they would throw them and they were sitting witnessing what's happening. And they were enjoying looking at the people being burned in that fire. And they witnessed what they were doing with the believers. So if you look, yes, that's right. The believers' bodies were tortured, but their souls were victorious. And by this, we understand that we all pass through turbulences and tests. And we ask Allah to make us victorious at the end. وما نقموا منهم إلا يؤمنوا بالله العزيز الحميد. So they did not commit any sin except that they believed in Allah, the Almighty, the worthy of all praise. الذي لهم ملك السماوات والأرض who is the owner of the kingdom of heavens and earth. And whatever is in between the heaven and earth. And whatever is in the heaven and earth. والله وعلا كل شيء شهيد. And Allah is witnessing. He is watching over everything. Nothing is concealed from him. Nothing is hidden from Allah. Allah knows whatever each and every person does or says or do whatever anything. And he will reward or punish according to the deeds. One time, a person came and he asked his, he gave chickens to each of his three children. And he said to them, go wherever you want and kill that chicken in a place that nobody sees you. The next day, they came back. Two of them got rid of the chicken. One of them got the chicken back. And the father said, what happened? Why did you kill the chicken? And they said, yes, Baba, we did. And he looked at the one with the chicken back. He said, what happened? He said, I couldn't find a place where Allah was not looking at me. This is what we need. A heart that is aware of Allah in all our time, in all our life. Every second of our life will be with Allah's plan. Now, what's the punishment of the people of the ditch إن الذين فتنوا المؤمنين والمؤمنات. So, verily, those who burned the believing, man and the believing woman, ثم لم يتوبوا and did not repent of it, did not regret what they have done. فلهم عذاب جهنم والهم عذاب الحريق. Verily, they will have the torment of hellfire. And they will have the punishment of burning fire. And this is because the recompense is based upon the type of deed they performed. They burned, they will be burned. They burned the people, the believers. They will see what a blazing fire means. إن الذين أمنوا وعملوا صاريحات. And as for those who believed and did righteous good deeds, لهم جناتون تجري من تحتها الأنهار. For them, there will be gardens under which rivers follow. And we've seen the different amazing rewards that Allah has created, has prepared for the people of heaven. He says, I have prepared for my righteous slaves that which no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and has never crossed the mind of any human being. This is the bounty of Allah سبحانه وتعالى for the people who believed in Allah and did righteous deeds. ذلك الفوزل كبير. And that is the supreme success. In the Quran, you see sometimes we see الفوزل مبين, الفوزل كبير, الفوزل عظيم. So what's the difference between these types of victories, these types of success? الفوزل مبين is to be saved from her fire and to enter heaven. الفوزل كبير is to have the highest places, the highest ranks in heaven. While الفوز العظيم is getting the gaze of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, رؤية الله تعالى. ذلك الفوزل كبير. إِنَّ بَطْشَا رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدْ. The punishment of your Lord is ever a severe and painful. It's continuous. So for those who opposed his commands, for those who rejected his messengers, Allah is the owner of power. He is the most strong. He will give any type of punishment he wants. إِنَّ هُوَ يُبْدِ أُوَ يُعِيدْ. He is the one who begins the creation. He repeats it just as he began it. Without opposition, without resistance. وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الْوَدُودِ. He is the all forgiving, the all loving. He forgives those who sin and repent. He is the ruler of the kingdom of the universe. He is the owner of the mighty throne. The glorious. He is the exalted. فَعَالٌ لِمَا يُرِيدْ. فَعَالٌ لِمَا يُرِيدْ. Let's just go back to the word. If we say المجيد, then we are talking about it. We are talking about it. We are talking about it. Then we are talking about Allah's attribute. But when we say ذلعرش المجيد, then we are describing the throne. فَعَالٌ لِمَا يُرِيدْ. He is the doer of whatever he wills. There is no one who can counter his ruling. He is not asked about what he does due to his greatness, power, wisdom, and justice. No one can ask him anything. هل أتا تحديث الجنود فِرعون وثموت؟ هل تأتي هذه الأخبار؟ فِرعون وثموت؟ فِرعون. We all know the story of the transgressor of Egypt. فِرعون. This is an affirmation. إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدْ. The punishment of Allah is severe and painful. When he seizes the wrongdoers, then he seizes them with a severe and painful punishment. بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي تَكْذِيبْ. The disbelievers, the nonbelievers, persist in denying. They are in doubt, they are in suspicion, disbelief, they are rebellion, they want to accept, they keep denying. والله من ورائهم محيط but what happens? الله سبحانه وتعالى has power over them. He encircled them with his power. He knows all about them and what they do. They cannot escape from him. وقرآنه مجيد في لوحه المحفوظ. So what we are talking about, what we are learning about is قرآن. Is a glorious Quran. Is magnificent and noble. It's the words of Allah سبحانه وتعالى whom he has revealed to سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم through Angel Gabriel عليه السلام. في لوحه المحفوظ, اللوحه المحفوظ is the tablet. That's where the Quran is being preserved. Preserved from any increase in a decrease, distortion, change. So the Quran is unchangeable. It's imperishable. It was revealed the same way as we have it now but it will stay the same way until it's the day after. So what's the story of, what's the wisdom behind the story of أصحابي أخدود. We know that we have, first of all, to raise our kids the perfect way. We have to instill in their heart and in their mind the love of Allah سبحانه وتعالى that he is over watching, that he is with us. When we want something, we just make dua to Allah سبحانه وتعالى. We make sincere dua with close understanding. We know, we are certain that he is listening to us and he is answering our calls. And always remember, you have to be the model for your children. You cannot ask your children to be a certain way if you are doing something against that. Again, something else we benefited from this story that there is always tests in this life. We have to practice patience. We have to practice acceptance and riba to whatever Allah سبحانه وتعالى is putting us in because Allah says أسبتم أن تدخل الجنة. Is it so easy for you to go to enter paradise without being tested? ليميز الخبيث من الطيب. So Allah would know he would differentiate, he would put into groups the good and the evil. وصل الله على سيدنا محمد. Next time we will be doing سولة الطارق. We will stop here. وصلات وسلام على سيدنا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم. السلام عليكم.
