Assalamu wa sallam ala rasulillah. Who either LED wasabi at marine and bad rubbish after sundry wasted the unreacted of determined design Ian from. Prepares it belongs to Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala. And peace and salutations be upon our final message of how we develop it. Laughs salallahu alayhi wasalam. Salam alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatu. And welcome back to part 2 of our brief journey through Surah Rahman. The last ayah we stopped on was the first mention of a very eyeliner of the Connecticut River. And before that, Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala taught us many of His blessings upon us. And He will continue to do so. Teach us many of His blessings upon us. And just before the ayah, Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala taught us how Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala blessed us with fruits and palm trees having sheaths of days. And we know when the days grow, for those who've seen they'd grow on palm trees, they come out in abundance. And then Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala taught us about grains having husks and scented plants that He had. We spoke about Rihan, scented plants, and also plants that are covered in in a way that makes them beautiful to look at, right, pleasing to look at. We said the rehan refers to the sweet-smelling fronds, as well as these plants that are covered that give you pleasure when you look at it. And one other thing we want to highlight is we spoke earlier about this duality in in in in Surah Rahman and how in Allah and balance, how the Surah has balance. If Allah talks about the heavens, He talks about the earth. If He talks about the land, He talks about the sea. If He talks about punishment, He speaks about reward. If He speaks about Jahannam, He speaks about Jannah. And even if you look in the first few is that we took, this this balance exists. If you look in, for example, Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala when He tells us about a Shem, swell comma, one Najam, right? Then Allah, and the Sama, or offer aha, Allah tells us about the Shia, right? As well. And Allah tells us about the armed, one our hand, in nm, the I would refers to the land and how Allah has pasted up the land. So Allah told us about the skies, He told us about the assign, He told us about the moon, He told us about the stars. And then He tells us about the trees and how the trees prostrate to Allah. When He tells us about the things of the skies that prostrate to Allah, He tells us and the trees also prostrate to Allah. And we know that the stars are many in the sky, and trees on earth are many on earth, right? Subhan Allah. So Allah tells us about the masses of the sky that prostrate to Allah, teaches us about the masses on El that prostrate to Allah. Tells us about the summer, how it's been raised so perfectly. Allah tells us how He spread the land for us. So can you see this, this, this balance that we find, and this comprehensiveness that we find in Surah Ar-Rahman? So I mentioned this to you at the beginning, and now we're seeing it in action, and we're going to continuously see this as we go through the Surah.
Now, if a B ie, you're not become at, you can't be been the fact that Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala mentions it 31 times, we can actually take a lesson from this. And that is the lesson of how important when things are important, or how important this concept of gratitude is, and recognizing Allah's blessings upon us is. Because when something is important, we repeat it. It's human nature, right? Like when you tell your kids that, have you done this? Are you sure you've done it? Are you sure you you've studied? Are you sure you started to you? Are you ready? You sure you don't need to read it again? You know, your parents would repeat it because it's important, right? When someone's traveling, did you double-check? Did you triple-check? Do you check the tip? Because you check the passport? Is the important matters, right? We repeat and we we double-check and triple-check. So here, Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala is repeating, for BAE, here on pickle man, 2 can be been 31 times, who should highlight to us how important this method is. And I shared a similar lesson about those of during the Ramadan reminders for those who follow me online, when we spoke about how Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala mentioned stuff for so many times in the Quran. But when He speaks about Ramadan, it's mentioned, you can count the number of times Ramadan is mentioned on your mentioned in the Quran. When He speaks about fasting, you can, you know, you can count the number of times Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala has mentioned fasting. But Tawa is countless times. While because fasting is easy, but Tawa is hard, right? That way is hard, fasting is easy. What's harder is step 4, and what's the objective of fasting? Tattwa. So the Quran has this know that when the important matters of most Hanna who attend either repeats it for us and repeats it for us and repeats it for us. And here in one Surah, we find this repetition. "Which of the favors of your Lord do you deny?" That's why we said from the objectives of the Surah, I had to mention it, I went back to it, is that you learn how to thank Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala and recognize His blessings upon you. You got to take time out to actually think of Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala's blessings upon you. Because you can only thank Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala well, if you recognize all those blessings upon you. There's so many blessings that Allah has given us that we have no recognition of, and thus we don't thank Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala to an appropriate right. We spoke earlier that when you realize how much Allah has done for you, the more you love Allah, the more you love Allah, the more you can want to do for Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala. And this Surah is building our Budhia, it's building our ability to worship. When Allah is teaching us of His blessings and His mercy, and His blessings and His mercy, and His blessings and His mercy, it grows your love for Allah, thus this will develop your Budhia appropriately. So Rehan refers to sweet-smelling plants and those plants that are covered in a way that makes it pleasing for you to look at. And then Allah says, "So which of the favors of your Lord do you deny?" Then Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala brings our attention to how He created us and how Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala made us and now our reality as the creation of Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala. Pan in san lien salsalin kalfakhkhar. And then remember we said this always, this comparison, this duality. After ba teaches us how He created us, He teaches us how He created the Jinn, right? So Allah says that He created man from clay like that of pottery, that which is used to make pottery. So there's mud, then Allah added water to that matter. That's why in other ayat, Allah tells us that He created us from water. Allah Allah Kaku later but him in math, right? So Allah created everything from water, and Allah added water to the to the mud, so it became clay. Thus we find Allah telling us that He created us min hammer in must noon, which refers to black heat and dry, smooth and clay. So if you look at the different descriptions in the Quran, they complement each other, and through it, we we have an understanding of our exact makeup, right? So basically, and again, remember we said it's important that we look beyond the apparent meaning of the ayah. And when we look the beyond the apparent meanings of of sand and water and clay and heated clay and so on and so forth, we realize or we learn how humble we should be as human beings. Because Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala has created us from humble elements, water, sand, right? These are humble elements. And here Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala says, in strong soil, in kalfa ha, and the scholar says also refers to something that a sound emanates from when you tap it. And even Cathedra mentions that when Allah created Adam, He left Adam in the state before He blew the soul into him for a period of time, and the angels passed by. And in Albania, when I hire the system history book of him, even can heal by him of Allah, the beginning and the end, he cites this and he says that the angels would walk past a past and see this new creation of Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala. So it was hollow, which means it was hardened, right? Like we said, hammer in Massillon, Allah says after we were shaped, it was heated. So now we dry, and that's what happens to clay pottery after the shape is decided, then it's left to dry, and it becomes harder. When you tap it, a sound emanates from it. This is similar to us and how fragile is pottery. It's fragile, right? Subhan Allah. So we've got to think of lie in terms of our strengths and abilities, and also recognize how fragile we are. Now, as one of the door and said that subhanAllah, if one small vein experiences a little twist, you could enter, you could have a health issue. So finally, there are uncountable. So then why do you be arrogant? Why are you adamant? That's how fragile you are. Why are you adamant? Where is his arrogance come? It's not befitting for your reality as a creation. And then should prove to us the presence of shape on that indeed plays a shape on the fact that fragile creation can actually adopt arrogance means there is this hidden enemy because he breeds within us this pride. So this is what Allah tells us here. Then Allah takes our attention to the reality of the creation of the Jinn. And Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala says that He created the Jinn from a smokeless flame of fire. Wada partying mean marriage Amina. And the scholars say that when it comes to Jinn, then Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala are the Creator them from a perfect blaze. That's the perfect blaze that stems from the flame. You have a perfect fire at the right temperature, and it's burning well. You see these sparks, these these flames that separate from the fire as the fire is burning. And this is the basis of the creation of the Jinn. And Genie refers to something hidden. And that's why Jannah is called Jannah because it's from the unseen. So the Jinn refers to something hidden, and Jannah refers to the refers to the unseen. And also the Jeanine, the fetus is called Jeanine. Can you see sharing all that? It's sharing the two letters, G, M, and L, because Jeanine, we also refers to the feet, to something which is covered. The fetus is covered, it exists, but you can't see it. Jannah exists, but you can't see it. The Jinn exists, but you can't see it. So they share these same letters, G, M, and N, and meanings that come from words that have a base function, a base makeup of the letter G, M, and N. They carry the meanings of something that exists that is not seen, it's hidden. So this huh, this is the basis of shape and a meaning of Jinn. And we know that it bliss is from the Djinn of attalos can a meaner Jin Lee philosopher and a Miura P in which Surah solitude Kara. Then please was from the Jinn. And the Jinn have a nature to disobey. And he disobeyed the commands of his Lord. And mankind as well, we have choice. We are creatures of choice. Allah says from and share absolutely woman share a very echo, because we have choice. So those who choose the path of guidance, let them believe. And those who choose the path of misguidance, let them disbelieve. Essaouira to carve, indeed, is that weekly perspective for both in genie kind and mankind. It is the weekly perspective. Allah's perspective is linked down in certain curve regarding our realities that the week might throw us right and throw us left and cause our calibrations to change. But if pride might come in there, what a bad character might settle in there, huh? You might lose your collapse a little bit there. And then you did certain curve, obviously reading it with understanding, and it recalibrates you, and you enter the next week in in in the way better than you are at the end of the last week. And that's one of the reasons why certain curve is a light from the last from the last week to the next week. It's only a light if we implement its lessons, right? So Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala then brings us to this reality, the reality of us as a creation, and the reality as of the Jinn as creation, meaning the reality of the Jinn as the creation of Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala. In the Muslim environment, we have the Hadith of Arisia of the Lahaina. And this Hadith, Sahih Muslim, my memory serves me right, in which she says that the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is reported to have said that the angels have been created from light, and the Jinn from a rising flame. And we spoke about the Shahab marriage mina, a rising flame that peaks out of a healthy fire. And mankind has been created from that which has been already described, described as we've seen in Surah Ar-Rahman. And add the ayat in the Quran, we spoke about Sol Sol, we spoke about Hema in mass noon, we spoke about math, we spoke about clay, right? So Allah created us from sand mixed with water, which then was heated and became hardened. And in other parts of the Quran, Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala tells us about mixed claim, maintaining lesson. Now, that's the I mean cleaning lesson. This refers to hot, connected, mixed, perfect clay, Subhan Allah, as the scholars of the seal described, right? So this is us as a creation. And then we have the Jing as a creation. Then Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala says, "For be a year, Allah Arabic Ummah, to can't depend, which of the favors of your Lord do you deny?" And subhanAllah, look at us as a creation, where Allah placed our joints, well, the bones that Allah gave us, the joints that Allah gave us, that wallahi, if Allah didn't give you an elbow, how would you feed yourself? How would you get the food into your mouth? Someone else would have to feed you. If I didn't give you a waist and didn't give you knees, how would you fall into prostration? So dude, the sweetest, the straightest position on earth, and the one thing that fills a void like no other thing. There's there's a sweetness in sujood, wallah, that fills a void that nothing else can fill. If you didn't have the elbows, the waist, the knees, the ankles, how could you fall into salute? How could you worship Allah through rock? Or have you ever thought about this? When Allah says, "Laconic man insane, mean Oxana taqwim," we've created you in the best of postures. And Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala says, "Mahabharat become curry melody Hanukkah cavasso vodka for idolic," what has put you in a deception of your Lord, who is Kareem, who is generous? He created you and shaped you and made you upright. What is put you in a deception that you fell to thank Allah for that reality that has given you that? If He didn't give you this, how would you worship Him? Soprano who attack. If you didn't lay out the earth and spread it for you, how would you worship Him? As Allah teaches us, how would you go for Hajj? Will be difficult? Be too difficult? Allah facilitated it, right? With these our faintness from the AEL, a Europe Okuma, to can't depend. Then Hamas is robbed vanie, or a bull, or email. Allah is the Lord of the machinery, pain of the two Easts. And He is the Lord of the West of the two Wests. In in another part of the Quran, Allah says, "For the Aqsa mubarak bill mache really, well maja DB." This is the plural. This is not to Eastern, to s Wests. It refers to Easts and Wests, the plural form was taking of custom by the Lord of all of the east and all of the west. And some of the scholars have said that this ayah teaches us that the earth is not flat, but a sphere, because you can only have different settings of the Sun, thus multiple Easts, the multiple Wests, sorry, and different rising points of the Sun, thus multiple Easts, if the earth is curved. Subhana Allah. Look at this deduction. Amazing, right? So Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala here, He says He's the Lord of all the positions, the different positions of rising and setting of the Sun. And Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala then teaches us from the AEA, "Layer of the coma, to can be bad, which of the favors of your Lord do you deny?" That Allah is the absolute owner. He is the absolute owner because He owns all the setting positions of the Sun and all the rising positions of the Sun, which means He is the owner of the entire universe. He owns all of the Easterner of the West. He is the absolute owner of the entire universe. So which of the favors of your Lord do you deny? Then Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala says, "Mirage and by harini el Tepeyac." So here we have the discussion of matters pertaining to physical land. Now Allah takes us to the sea. This duality in terms of instruction, I keep highlighting it so you appreciate it even more. We see it come about here again. After Allah has discussed the matters pertaining to the land, now Allah has gone to matters pertaining to the sea. And Allah say, and the oceans. Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala. Before that, these are the benefits when we talk about the rising and setting of the Sun, such as you and I having periods of rest and period of work, which are anna-lena be better, or Johanna Najera. Masha Allah says, "We we made the night the best, and that the night is a canopy that covers the day." So you have this night forest. And we learn about certain hormones that are released in darkness that your body needs. It helps your body clock, and it helps the healing of your body. And it only is released when there's darkness. But your own, and a harmonizer, "We've made the daily a day for seeking the day, the portion of your life where you seek sustenance and things happen, right?" And because of the different positions of the rising and setting of the Sun, which brings about the night and the day, you have you have a chance to recognize Allah. And we learned this from Surah Al-Imran at the end of "Anyone of us is enough, you hope this somehow at one al-bayati lafi lady when her eye Attilio ldap." Subhan Allah. Allah sees, "Indeed, in the differences of the night and day, in the creations of the heavens and the earth, and in the differences of the night and day because of the different positions of the rising and setting of the Sun." And we spoke earlier about how the Sun is a means of seasons for us. We have some lights that are cold, and some nights which are warm, some days which are cold, some days which are warm, some nights which are long, some nights which are short, some days that are long, some days that are sure. Now, in the winter here, we have shorter days, longer nights. The summer comes, you have longer days, shorter nights, because of the different positions of the rising and setting of the Sun. And the different seasons that come. And as I said, we learn from this the sphere reality of the globe of the earth, that it is a glow. Allah says, "In all this is a means for you to recognize your daughter, to learn that there's a Lord, that the system cannot be perfect just like that, there has to be a controller, and He is Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala." So the fact that we did all this for you to recognize Allah, for BA ela, your optical magic, and even giving you means of guidance, "Which of the favors of your Lord do you deny?" Are you gonna thank Allah for giving you the means of being guided to an Jannah? That even between prophets, you don't have an excuse because you have your Fatah, and you have this mind, and you have this reality that Allah has created all of it. If connected leads you to believe in one Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala. Although we can go on and on, it's amazing. This what I told you, it's short, but it's simply it's complex in its simplicity. There's so much going on. And all this further highlights the Mucky nature of it because it really taps the the hard heart and the heart, soul, and the heart nerves. These are short taps, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, that it breaks the outer layer, those shackles that are blocking the light of belief and and and the pure nature of the fitara that's been buried. So as those layers, outer layers are removed, you slowly pick few closer to guidance, closer to Allah. That it is plausible to believe in one of light. It's plausible that a Lord does exist, right? It's not coming out. It's not coming out as they keep listening to the Quran for the killbill Quran, remind them using the Quran, maybe a half-hour read. "Those who fear the punishment of Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala, pain the BAE and Iran to come and to cut the ban, which of the favors of your own to you tonight?" As we said, then Allah now moves on to matters of the sea. And He mentions Mirage el-bahari Nene el Tatia. He talks about the oceans and the meeting. And then He tells us, "You giman who may look a little more gen." I was talking about the treasures of the sea. Then Allah tells us what our job. Then Allah tells us about the functions of the sea. Let's go into that. Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala says, "Larger the Harini Alta p.m." Allah says that "We have caused the seas to cover the oceans to come together and meet. And likewise the seas, right? We've caused them to come together to meet. Between them is a barrier that they don't cross." And we know we have saltwater and we have freshwater lakes, right? This is a reality that we know. And Allah is saying this is Allah's doing. And because Allah does this, do you have benefit? There's so much benefit in having saltwater and having freshwater. And even though they're two liquids, one doesn't overpower the other because if it did, you probably would only have saltwater and that which comes with saltwater like saltwater fish. But because we have kept these things separate, we have freshwater fish, saltwater fish, you have different tastes, right? Different types of meat, different benefits. You have water that you can drink, and there's water that you can't drink. We know about desalinated plants that are used to remove the salt from water so it becomes edible, it's something you can drink. But Allah has freshwater that you can just put your hand into and drink it immediately from. Bae Allah, your people man, to can't be bad, which of the favors of your Lord do you deny? So two four come in higher number 53 of martyrs or something similar, Allah says, "For one lady margin bahrain had the boon for our tool, Oh Georgia, what you have available, buzzer Rajaram majora." Allah says, "And it is He who has released simultaneously at the same time the two seas, one fresh and sweet, and one salty and bitter, and He placed between them a barrier and a prohibiting partition." Perhaps if we go into the science, you might be able to explain it through a process of osmosis. Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala knows best, right? Osmosis, which is the movement of a liquid from a high concentration to a low concentration with a semi-permeable membrane. Trying to remember my luggage for hey, Sam, you permeable memory, that's it. Well, Lago Ireland, but this exists. And we know freshwater fish that can't live in saltwater, and vice versa. There was no barrier, they would be distraction. So final ah, the system of of Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala that is so perfect. How can anyone deny Allah when this is its reality? When what we see is Allah's reality, and His reality leads us to Allah. People claim this is nature, civilization, it just happened. And they say that is more logical than believing in a God, an ultimate supreme power that manages this perfect system. How misguided are they? May Allah guide them. I mean, more atal bihari yieldeth en being a humidors a-- leo bien sûr viel europe big boomer took at the van, which of the favors of your lord do you deny? Because of fresh water, you have irrigation for your plants that might be hard if you use support, and that would affect your sustenance, the produce, the nature of your produce. But then we have water because the earth leads it to kill bacteria that gathers in what. So Allah gives you it as well as benefit in its bitterness and its saltiness. And through it, you have sea salt, which is also that it has a function for you to accentuate the ingredients of your food. And it brings to your food a different taste, which we've created your tongues to enjoy. And when you taste it, you remember your Lord and praise Him more. So through it is an opportunity to praise Allah. If we didn't have that salt, you wouldn't get that opportunity to play as praise Allah. Subhan Allah. What leads back to Allah? It's all about to heed, right? Everything is leading us back to well, that we did this so this could happen, and that can happen. It because that happened, you could praise Allah in a way that you couldn't do had it not happened. And because of that, you built your chimney some more. Because of these different types of waters, we have seashells and corals and pearls, which are valuable, the sustenance for you, right? People earn a living through this. "Which of the favors of your Lord do you delay?" Here fish of different colors and different sizes and different tastes and different complexities in terms of their flesh. "Which of the favors of your Lord do you deny?" Because of these waters, you have different job opting occupations related to related to the services that the seas are a means of providing. You have the Marines, and your fishing, you have transport, right? You have you can now trade with people in other lands. "To be a ela, you're not becoming to cut deeper." Because in Allah is telling us about merchants, Bihari, Allah is telling us about how the seas come together because of this way of currents. And because of currents, things flow on top of the waters. If that didn't happen, how would these massive ships move? Before engines, there were sails, and the currents push helped because of the sails meeting the currency, the ships move. They travel long distances. "Fabella Arak Baku map to Kathy back." Subhan Allah. Allah then Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala says, "Yahoo to in Houma Lulu and large an from them emerges pearls and corals." Fairly spoke about this. "Fabella the command to Caliban wahdahu Java a Lucia had filled Africa." Allah Allah says, "And to Him belongs the ships with sails and awaited in the sea like mountains." Look at the description of the Quran, that you have mountains that Allah has used to peg the earth. And Allah spoke about the earth and the blessings on earth. And Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala speaks about something similar in the seas. Then when you see these ships with their high sales, it looks like mountains on the sea moving along. "Viel layer of bakoma to come the ban, which of the favors of your Lord do you deny?" When we spoken about these ships, and when Allah brings our attention to the seas and mentions the ships, that no doubt how Allah has allowed the ship with all its weight to float above a liquid. This is from the mercy of Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala as well. If it couldn't, you couldn't benefit from this reality. "From bae la, Europe the connecticut river." And upon this, through contemplation and deduction and analogy, apply your thoughts. We have the planes in the sky. For the a ela, or optical magic endeavor. We have cars on the land. To be a year, they become hard to come by bus effortlessly taking you from place to place. The world is a corner, as they say today, because of air travel. "Phobia, you're become at you can develop." Tons of steel soaring the skies with his wings spread out. Nothing holds it except a rock man. Ilaha illallah, as Allah tells us. And soar to look in nothing is holding it up except man. "Febby AEL, or become at you can develop, which of the favors of your Lord do you deny?" Would likely we enter a plane today, we don't even think of Allah's favor upon us, take it for granted. We get into our vehicles today, nobody's thanking Allah. We take it for granted. We receive, we cargo, we import, we export, everything's happening. People's livelihood, goods are coming in via these ships. Not one day are we thanking Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala because of His favors upon us. Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala says that now look, subhanAllah, after Allah teaches us of all these blessings and reminds us time and time again, thank Allah, thank Allah, thank Allah. You really realize that this Quran is from a Creator who created you. Because immediately after all of this, when you are in shock and awe of the reality of your Lord and what is given you, Allah says, "Kulu manali - everything will disappear, disintegrate, be crushed and perish." Fall of the circle, because it's human nature, then we don't recognize the blessings of something until it's gone. So Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala accentuates and emphasizes our understanding of His mercy upon us and His blessings upon us by reminding us that everything is going to disappear except who? Boy, a Papa, what Europe? Because of Jalali wal Ikram, everyone and everything on earth will perish, and nothing will remain except the face of your Lord, the owner, the face of your Lord, owner of majesty and honor. Gujarati will become. And Allah tells us, "Recognize Allah's favors upon you." Someone might say, "Why is Allah saying for me and I hope do for my to convey after was telling us that everything is going to perish? Where's the favor in that?" The very way in that is in you recognizing Allah's favor upon you by you realizing that one day it will disappear. So Allah help you recognize His favor upon you so you thanked Him, and that was good for you. "Which of the favors of your Lord do you deny?" Subhan Allah. This is the Quran. Then Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala says in the next ayah, or when Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala tells us that everything will perish, save Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala, obviously, if we look beyond at this ayah and beyond what I shared, the no doubt this is a quota to heat. That if nothing will remain except Allah, why would you want to worship anything besides Allah? If things more powerful than the idols that you've made and the graves that you worship will perish, mountains will perish, ships will perish, the seas will perish, the corals will perish, the pearls will perish, the trees will perish, the Sun will perish, the moon will perish, the stars will perish, everything that we told you about that is so mighty and great will perish besides Allah. Why would you want to worship anything besides Allah? And this in Surah Al-Fatiha, we say, "Ya cannot but ye are kinda staying, you are don't do you worship, and you don't do we seek assistance from." Meaning, we will not seek assistance from anyone besides You, Ya Allah, because no one can help us besides You. So why would we worship anyone but if no one can help us besides You, how can we worship anyone but You? Thus, you say, "Ya cannot, would you alone do we worship, because You alone do we seek assistance from." Meaning, what? Because there's no one else who can help us. There's no one else who we can worship besides You. It's a message of to eat. Then Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala says, "So which of the favors of your Lord do you deny?" Allah brings us now into reality. Allah says, "We will attend to you, O prominent beings." La ilaha illallah. Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala. This enough for who lack, who may you have topple on you. "Will be attended to, O mankind and Jinn kind. Don't think that your Lord will be too busy to take you to account." Each and every one of you will be attendant. And if you want to widen the net here, this is talking about the Day of Judgment when we will be taken to account. But if you want to widen the net here, Allah attends to us irrespective of our number. Attends to every living being irrespective of of its number, 24/7. And it's not even difficult for Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala. For be a year, that you're on pickle mat, you can be bad. But this ayah is talking about there will take you to account. But there's a distance influence that I want to highlight here because also this should make us recognize above blessings upon us. There were llahi, we have millions of trees on earth with trillions of leaves. Not one leaf falls except with the permission of Allah and His power and His knowledge. There's trillions of tiny creatures moving on the face of this earth. Nothing moves except for the Hall of Allah and His knowledge. Subhan Allah. But even that black and underneath that dark balda, during the darkest of nights, it doesn't move except with Allah's knowledge of it moving and Allah attending to it. Dimension brothers and sisters, our hearts beat. Allah is attending to it. What love? You imagine if we had to remember our hearts beating? What would happen? If we have to remember to be alive? We're not forgetful. We are all right. Let's remember. I film of course, every time you remember your heartbeats like what happened? You forgot? Then you see some panel I forgot. Have you been no time for that? You're dead. You forgot. Now you did. It's class. You can't even say some panel I forgot to your heartbeats without you thinking about it. Allah is attending to your servant of Allah. And like you, every single living creation of my is attending to it. Even bacteria. For the a year, not become her to conceive an. This is the reality of your Creator. Why do you worship anyone but Him? Why do you think other people like Him? Why do you attribute success to yourself? What is this? My skills, my money, my deal, my brain, my education, my school, my background? What is this? You fragile human being. Why do you behave with this kind of arrogance and paradigm when you are who you are because of the power and might of Allah? Your system should be one of the how Allah, where for at a level, there's no power nor might except remember Allah. It's all advice, not me. We don't do a lot deaths. This is your reality. Where is this arrogance coming? These are the favors of Allah upon you. You are nothing without your Lord. Why do you act as if you are who you are because of you? The honor Allah gave you. Oh, Allah, you think about these brothers and sisters. We have sins on the heights. Our sins are life. But I didn't hide our sins. What orna would we have? Allah hides our sins. He raises our mention. People meet us, they respect us, they love us. Rely it's only because Allah heed our sins and made prevalent to them and manifest to them our goodness. "Which of the favors of your Lord do you deny?" This is Surah Ar-Rahman. Another Surah of great perspective on life. You're assuming a shower, using alumina share, will be ideal to. He gives honor to whom He wills, and He bases whom He wills. And in His hands is working. Have you thanked Allah for the honor that you have in society? Because you haven't recognized it as a favor. Allah says, "While I attend to whom Allah, he 11 la ilaha illa who could lucia in hand, he could watch her love." We'll talk more in a he told John in certain paths of Zion, amber 88. Now the ayah that complements the iron sword Rahman, Allah says, "Do not worship anyone besides Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala. La illaha illallah. There's no one worthy of worship besides Him. Everything will perish besides Allah." How come He is the owner of all rule and legislation? "Well, in a he told your own, and indeed to Him you will return." In another ayah, Allah says, "Allah would do well on Tabarrok Allah, indeed for my solid creation, well other legislation. Why should why SH? Why should it be for anyone else? He created you." So He mentions mates legislation is only for Allah because He's the only one who created you. He knows you better than you know yourself. So He legislates appropriately to your reality. Who can legislate better than Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala? Blessed is Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala. And even our best says the angel said, "All on earth would perish." And when this area was revealed, the angels became informed that even they would perish. "Kulu manali half an." Angels thought that only those on earth will perish. But when Allah did you could Illuminati have fun, they realized that even they would perish. Then there's a very weak narration, very weak, that describes the Day of Judgment, and Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala asking the few that here now to remain. Who remains? She will might have heard this narration. And the angel says, "The Gibreel remains." And historize Micahel. And is revealed. And the angels care in your hours. And the Angel of Death. And and you enter, "Hey little I am, what you are the everliving that never done." We don't have to repeat the narration because it's extremely weak. But indeed, this message there are lies. There believing in whatever day this is. How kulu manali have that way of coverage for optical gel anybody kron. For BAE, and your OB Kumar, to can feedback that you have the ability to worship the only one worthy of worship. "Which of the favors of your Lord do you deny?" Even candy dimensions here that Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala has described His face as the owner of absolute majesty and honor. And even a burst of the Allah one describes Allah as the owner of majesty and prank. Thus affirming that Allah Almighty is the only one worthy of being worshipped, and His laws are the only laws worthy of being followed. He's the absolute perpetual being from ever and forever. And the name of Allah Almighty is a mighty one in our door. No doubt the names of Allah are watch horebeek Haram. But is the Lord, and we've been encouraged to use Allah's names in our dua. Once the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, someone has been Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala using this name, Allah, and using a name from the names of Allah. And especially online, the scholars have two deductions from this narration. Number one, importance of using Allah's names in our dryer. Number two, their discussion, which is a matter of difference between the bush is the greatest name of Allah. Is it Allah? Is it A hail of AUM? Or is it and hey? This is not the discussion for today. But we take this benefit from this ayah and from what I told you earlier about ear canal booze, ye Afghanistan, the worship Allah alone, because we can only seek assistance from Him. Who shouldn't worship anyone else? So when we make dua to Allah, we make dua using Allah's names of us is believed to ilaha, we do or man am tech guru father who, and a smell or husband loss is called out to Allah using the name Allah or the name of Rama, and any of them would you use. Allah has beautiful elevated names. By and obviously, this ayah, brothers and sisters in Islam, should bring an impact to our servitude. We should really be feeling the reality of ourselves in front of Allah. And I will leave to worship Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala. Right, worship Him alone and increase our Budhia. And I spoke earlier about McAnally movement, me not this. It's not the case for a believing male and female that when the law of Allah comes, you start deciding when you want to follow it. You start deciding that you have a choice. I'll see how it goes. We don't have this in our Sharia, right? Then Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala says, "He ya barrage in New Orleans in Stockton and tell food women a papyrus sell our t1 our different food ooh let em fool an 11-1." Now, some of the scholars say that this is Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala telling us about the DFB Emma, because of the Iassogna 400 lucuma, "Us, the final analysis, we will attend to you, O Tappan, and O mankind and Jinn kind." And that my dad reversed the two heavy things. And mankind and Jinn kind are referred to heavy matters because they are weighty, right? And they are from the weighty matters on earth. So they've been given this title. And also they are weighty because of their deeds. And if their deeds are not good, then their weight in bad deeds. And if the deeds are good, then the weighting good deeds. And we know that our deeds will be weighed on the Day of Judgment. And anything that is way heaps to have weight. So this has a lot of perspective that comes into play by Allah describing us as waiting. Subhan Allah. This is the might of the Quran that is just one word, but it sends you into a vortex of contemplation. Allah sees, "We will attend to you." And as I said, the scholars said this on the Day of Judgment. So Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala says, "Yeah, I'm actually Valjean anyone else." And this is the topple on the Jean kind and the mankind. It is the fathom. If you are able, and tons of them in after is somehow a t1 up the squatter say this refers to your mana back sure. When mankind and Jinn kind are gathered on the plains of reckoning, Allah is saying, "If you are able to escape this day, you it's impossible. Let them let them fall in love you. So far, you will never have a Babel to escape this day, escape the smash-up, escape this plains of with the questioning will happen in visual part, except with permission, except with the power, except what they might. And you don't have it. So if you don't even think about it, you're not going that way." You see how the Sun was now changed? Subhan Allah. It was we've given you, if given you, we've given you. In giving you, they will take it away. Now realize also, are you going to? And what's gonna happen then? Here you thought you had a choice. Here you thought you could decide. You had your mind, you had your heart, you could do what you want, when you want, how you want. Addition, you thought you come into a day where nothing of that's what's gonna happen. That's a mighty day. We spoke about how Allah would be so angry. He was never angry like that before, and He will never be angry like that after. That you will be raised clothes less. And I shall deal of mine, He tells the problem that tells the Prophet SAW Allah matter, you a senator King, how you'd be raised without any clothes. People who will be naked and looking at each other. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, "Eurasia, the situation will be far more greater than you see. Nobody will have time to think about that." That comes out of the blood. The same when they go for Hajj, instead pizza happening or not protect us. But if you hear some accounts, people's farms are being ripped off, and females are partially being exposed. No one notices anything. And some projects have said, well, luckily, we thought about what the Prophet of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, that it will be stopped. Situation would be so mighty, you wouldn't be. These are not things to look at or take notes off, right? I'm trying to give you all the example just to bring it closer to you that when you start fearing for your life, what ye, no one's looking at this person is exposed, ye, and this person's exposed. A that's for your life. What about your salvation in the hereafter? If you go into Gehenna, limits for ever, you go into Jannah's forever. And you don't know. And it's a day that's fifty thousand years long. That's the Day of Judgment. Cannabidiol who have seen, as I said, ah first bill sovereign Jamil. And that's what you have to do on earth. If you patient, the beautiful patience on earth, remaining upon the dews, staying away from the domes, then you will manage fifty thousand years, which is one day. Fiamma refers to the last day. There's no day after it. It's the last day of things which are temporary. Everything after this perpetual. PA refers to the finality of a phase. Or we could say of a phase. So p.m. is that day that brings I end to the phase of things that imposter on Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala says that for anyone who attempts who thinks of it. Allah Subhanahu wa'ta'ala says.
That they will be sent upon them a flame of fire and and copper. One who has filete art. Ah, still running. You'll never ever be able to defend yourselves. It's no defense. And remember, we're talking about a moment in time that we can't even imagine. So don't think about flames of the dunya and cop of the death. Febby a ela Arabic America be back again. He will say, "Well, this is fearful stuff here. Where is Allah?"
Repeating, "Which of the favors of your Lord do you deny? Which of the favors of your Lord do you deny?" Realize from this the favor of guidance. Realize from this the favor of Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Realize from this the favor of the Quran. Realize from this the favor of the Sunnah. Realize from this the favor of the other man. That do ads realized on the servants of Allah, O children of Adam, these are favors. Which of the favors of you know do deny?
Its birthday ma yet when you reading this is birthday MA. At the fact that Allah is giving you advance notice of that which is to come is a favor. He's not shocking you. He's giving you advance notice. He's telling you how it's going to be. There's a big exam in the grave. He's told you the questions before the exam. In the world of the which, which institute gives you questions before the exam? I was telling you, we giving you in advance the questions. This is a favor from Allah. Which of the favors of your Lord do you deny?
The reality is a real one of despair for those who don't pull through, one of disaster and destruction for those who don't pull through. These are favors. The school and this messenger, the sooner, your knowledge of the unseen, that which Allah made known to you. These are favors. O servants of Allah, which of the favors of your Lord do you deny? Allah sees faith and sharp artists. Salim. Subhan Allah.
And when the heaven is split open and becomes rose-colored like oil, right? When the deer, and this is from the descriptions of the Day of Qiyamah. In essence, and Sarah Shaymin Ar-Raheem, Allah says, "The shaking of the Hour is a mighty thing. It is a mighty thing." She is it. Is it not the endeavor? Is it in the indefinite form? So whatever you want to think about its mighty. Show you and our theme, it's a mighty thing. Largos have to tell us, you'll see people who are who are normal, but they're moving around like they're drunk. Water, a NASA su carro de su carro, like inaudible ahi, should eat. If they're moving along around like they're drunk, but they're not drunk, but it's the punishment of Allah that is severe that caused them to act like they're intoxicated. So Allah says, "Freedom shot that if I hadn't shot that fighting shop that this summer who for Canada them can be Han."
And when the heaven split and become rose-colored like oil, candy hem, right? So BAE Allah, you're a big uma to cut the ban. You gonna ask, "What is the favor in Allah making a scared?" Well, the same answers I shared with you previously apply here. Then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says, "Then on that day, no one will be asked about his sin among many." Or Jimmy. Now, you'll be standing in front of Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, you have a standing by yourself. That is the reality. You'll be standing in front of Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, by yourself. We all have the standing. Allah is highlighting to us. And in this world, you might think you have your buddies. "I'll take him with me. I'll take her with me." No, you will be asked about your sin by yourself. And Allah will be asking you because he doesn't know. The angels have written everything. Kiraman Katibeen, they've written everything. I was able to ask to try and find out? No. You will be asking that. Asking in itself is a punishment. When Allah says, "You'd be questioned on the Day of Judgment, but you'll be informed." That's the reality. You will be informed of your reality. And you will be by yourself. And no one who stands at wonderful novel theory, I will stand except as they will perish. For lights, maybe it's not a small matter. And it's the mercy of Allah that will dictate our end. May Allah shower His mercy upon us. So make that go out to Allah. Allah, shower upon me Your mercy on my affairs in this life, in the next. Give me Your mercy, Allah, the greatest. While you can ask for Allah, let's just ask Him for His mercy because He knows the reality of His mercy. Only His mercy will save us when we stand in front of Him. There's no questioning. It's an interrogation. Brothers and sisters in Islam, and we don't like that term. Interrogation? Right now, someone says, "You going for interrogation?" Hey, that doesn't sound very, very nice. That's what the reality of TMS did. Did you come across the is a woman fissiraga developed? I skip it. A lot is just a woman facility. What others go back to it? Allah says, "Yes, other woman facility."
"Well, Coolio man who efficient. Everything in the skies asked from Allah." This is Ayah number 29. "Everything in the skies asked from Allah. Everything on earth asked from Allah." The creation on earth asks Allah for sustenance and forgiveness. And the creation of the skies asks for forgiveness. And the angels ask Allah to forgive us and shower upon us. It is mankind needs what mankind needs. And all our needs are different. We were asking for different things. Plants have needs. Animals have needs. Insects have needs. Birds have needs. Fish have needs. La ilaha illallah. Everything has a need. And Allah is attending to everyone's need. And we spoke about this. But we when we said, "Allah attends to all of us." Right? So the explanation was given. Although we didn't mention the Ayah, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala goes on to say, "And by the way, if we want to look at the deeper lesson behind the apparent meanings, then what do you see? Why are we letting here the importance of accountability? Right? Take yourself to a compromise. And sisters in Islam, before Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala takes you to account, take account of your deeds before Allah takes you to account. Have that thinking thing. It's important. You analyze your life and realize who you are and who you're not. Don't live life thinking you're someone when you're not someone because Allah doesn't judge you based on your appearance. He judges you based on your deeds. He judges you based on your heart."
In the while I am doing now, tsuzuku Allah. Allah, I've said it from what I can yank. Put it up, y'all too. We love to do become more American. The Hadith is disputed, but the meaning is right. Allah doesn't look at your outer appearance, your dress. He looks at your heart and your deeds. It's not going to reward you because you look like you prayed. He lured you actually pray. If your intention was right, He will reward you. If you look like you fasted, some of us live like thinking we upon guidance, but we haven't really analyzed ourselves and done the necessary stop. Take people know what stocks they have, but they still do a stocktake, right? They physically count, just in case. Possible. And for second component to hasip, take account of yourself before account is taken off. This is the meanings of this Ayah. And the favor of them is Allah telling us what is going to come so we take account of ourselves. And that is the favor that after you take account of yourselves, yourself, you thank Allah for giving you the ability to take account of yourself. Can you imagine the fact that we don't take ourselves to account? If we do that, is a mercy from Allah. From a rough man, from BA ela. Your pickle man to can be bad. Unless you are flew to the moon abyss email. We spoke about this, that the believers have a sign. They are known by a sign. The sign was with for an. And also Allah says, "The disbelievers also, they would have their sign." For impossible. Now I see one after them. Allah will get them lifted by their forelocks and their feet and turn into the fire. And when a person picks you up like that, it's painful. Number one, and number two, it's a sign from Allah that you will have nothing to grab on. If someone grabs you by the hands, you can grab on to them. You have nothing to grab on to. And here we are taught, you'll be flung into the file. Okay, that is that brings a reality for laughs. Every an Akuma to can be been. Which of the favors of your Lord do you deny? Have you had animality? You can't be pooping on booze anymore. This is the agenda that the criminals are in. Denying your tofu nabina have been a hammy mean. And Allah, for this Ayah, Allah, He it's one to strike fear even in the strongest of people. Allah says that this Jahannam is what the criminals deny. Allah says they will go around in this Jahannam between this Jahannam and Hanuman, Hadith, and refers to scale, the boiling water. So what will be their plight in this Jahannam? They'll be moving from punishment to scale, to scale, the boiling water, to punishment, to scaling, boiling water, to punishment, to scaling, boiling water, being a vortex of hardship. This is what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is describing. Remember, we said Rahman is descriptive of the general listings in sort of common. Allah is going into details here. But as He goes into details in, He'll also give us details of Jannah. May Allah save us from Jahannam. I mean. Four billion people, not to cut the bad. Which of the favors of your Lord do you deny?
Then Allah tells us, "Were demon half a map Amara be Janet an." Now Allah has finished with Jahannam. He goes to Jannah. And He says, "As for the one who fears His standing in front of Allah, Allah says, 'For him is Jannah. For him is Jannah.'" Two paradises. So hand Allah. Why two paradises? What are these two paradises here? The scholars have different explanations to it. And obviously, I'm speeding up a bit because our time is coming to an end. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says that whoever fears His standing in front of Allah, He of His Lord, Jannah. Then He will have two gentleness. And it, He said that this Ayah was renewed because of Abu Bakr, of the Allahu Anhu. Refers to Abu Bakr, of the Allahu Anhu, and himself. And he once said that he wished he was like a plant that was consumed by another animal. And he wished that he was never created when he heard the descriptions of Jahannam. So Allah revealed, "Wali man karma Komarov bahijon." That was revealed because of his wish. Oh, because of what he said when he heard the description of Jahannam. So Allah says, "The one who fears his Lord will get to generous." And even a passage that this Ayah includes in it, the Jinn that fear of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, and reward accordingly. Because of man was ready to birth the Jinn and the Ins. And the Quran was revealed for both the Jinn and the Ins. The scholars of Tafsir have cited several lessons or interpretations regarding this as follows. They say, this Ayah refers to the one who fears his standing in front of his Lord on the Day of Qiyamah. And the one who fears his Lord, knowing that his Lord is omniscient and omniscient. Meaning is a lie lean. So for knowledge about Olga, what he did. So he lived on earth with the knowledge that Allah is watching what I do. And he also feared his standing in front of Allah. So when he worshipped Allah, he feared Allah the most regards to his deeds being accepted. When Allah says, "Watching at home." When He describes those whose whose hearts shaking, Trevor, who did the Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, described them as as those who worship Allah. They do what Allah tells them to do, but they do it knowing that I have to return to Allah. And they don't know how it's going to be when they return to Allah. But they have good hope in Allah. But they don't get a guarantee for themselves, success. Then another explanation says, is for a person who who left even leaning towards doing something, not doing the sin, but even then the leaning towards it, he left it as well. If an ambassador of a loved one says, "The one who fears his Lord after completing a compulsory act is who?" This irony first doesn't guarantee him for himself salvation. And this would entail that he fears his deeds not being accepted. And he maintained piety outside of the Farhat. He didn't just do the minimum. He tried to beautify his minimum with the volumes. But he has no doubt the one who does the minimum will get Jannah. Then we spoke about the business class Jannah, right? Who come to that a child? I think an weekend sometime after the Salah to finish. When do we have to finish now? All right, in three minutes or four minutes. Fame another of commencement. Finish this point and we break for Salah. Another food to be mentions a report by the Nab passed around the Allahu Anhu, that's a messenger, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, said, "Two gardens, with each garden spanning the length of 100 years, with each garden having in it a middle, and in that middle is an unimaginable house made out of light." Subhan Allah. This is a description of the promise of Allah. I leave us enough about this. These gardens. And as for the, as for the two genders, it has been said that it is a Jannah made for him, and a Jannah that he inherits. And some said it's a Jannah for him, and a Jannah for his wives. And someone said it's a Jannah for doing good, and a Jannah for leaving back Jannah. And some said it's a Jannah for the good from the Jinn, and a Jannah from the good from mankind, because Allah talks about Jinn and hints in Surah Ar-Rahman. And some have said to his mentioned. However, it refers to many. But the norm of the Arabs was to mention a number in reference to many things. This, and this is a law like in the Quran. And Allah also mentions to the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, who a set of about seeking forgiveness for the hypocrites. If he does it seven times, sorry, 70 times, serene Amara, Allah won't forgive them. This doesn't mean that if he did it 71 times, that Allah will forgive me. Allah is mentioning a number, but He means there's no number. There's no amount of forgiveness that you can seek for them that they will get a reward for. BAE. And your pick Homer to candy burn. Which of the favors of your Lord do you deny?
When we come back after Salah, we'll speak about the remaining descriptions about this Jannah, and then talk about the comparison between the higher Jannah and the lower Jannah. Be denied Allah, sallallahu wa sallam, wa barik ala nabina Muhammad, wa ala aalihi wa sahbihi ajmain. Smoking that was Lamar observable aware that a de wa sahbihi woman wala salam alaykum wa barakatuh. All praise belongs to Allah, and peace and salutations be upon the final messenger. Just a third a short of that session will end soon, insha'Allah, before the his class also begins. So we've reached the point where now Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is describing for us Jannah. And Allah says, "For the one who fears His standing in front of Allah, Allah will give him two paradises." And then of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, and we explained what the different lessons from the books of Tafsir regarding what two paradises referred to. Then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, He says, "The Hawaiian tell a phenom." He says that these two paradises, they will have trees with branches that are outspread. Now, remember the Sahaba receiving these Ayahs, they were in the desert. So you have to appreciate what this means to them, right? To see a tree that has branches that stretch out. You know, the most they were accustomed to a date palm trees. They palm trees don't have leaves that then stretch out as other trees that we know do. So the Sahaba receiving these Ayahs, no doubt, for them, this would send them into a maze of imagination. And even for us, it's human nature to find solace and therapeutic moments in nature. From our nature to be connected with nature. You go to the forest, you go to the park, that is greenery. You feel you feel revived. Your spirit feels revived. Your thoughts feel revived. And you experience a solace that you don't normally do in the city. All right. So here, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, what He first brings our attention to the trees. Now, we mustn't forget. Now, when we speak about trees, when you're speaking about shade, and shade is another matter that mankind seeks. When you, when you speak about trees, you're speaking about fruits, because trees bear fruits. And remember, we already know as a precursor that a tree in this life, and a tree in the next, only share one thing in common. That's the letters of thought. That's it. Only share Jarrah is Cheju. Just the letters are shed. But the reality is totally different. Because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us that Jannah has a tree which no eye has ever seen, no ears ever heard of, and no heart has ever dreamt of, right? So if you close your eyes and dream of the most amazing things, Jannah has better. That's the reality. So Allah brings our attention to the trees of Jannah, and then says, "A viel Yoruba kuma to turn depend. Which of the favors of your Lord do you deny?"
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says, "FEMA in a neat idea." Allah says, "FEMA in both of them, a nan are two springs." So Allah saying, "FEMA in both of them, a nan are two springs." So this for springs, we mentioned here, two in one Jannah, and two in the other Jannah. Allah says they are flowing again. Think of an Arab in a waterless desert being told of streams that are flowing, not one, but two. And even as we find peace when we near flowing rivers and flowing lakes, and it only brings about goodness because you think about irrigation, you think about fresh water to drink, you think about cleanliness and purity, and so on and so forth. This is the real, true water. Allah says, "Fee fee humanitarian. Which of the favors of your Lord do you Dina?" So each paradise will have free-flowing springs which feed the trees of Jannah. So the irrigation is automated. It's automated irrigation, right? And this means so it's the water of Jannah feeding the trees of Jannah. So can you imagine the fruits of Jannah? This is what Allah, this is the temple. So there are a lot of the each. He says, "Da da da ba e Li Arabic American people." And then He tells about the rivers. Febby ie. He doesn't mention if trees and rivers, then say which of the favors of your Lord you deny. No, after every mention, He asks us, "Which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?" Then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says, "FEMA in a neat idea." Allah says, "FEMA in both of them, couldn't leave her he had in zou Jam." Now, remember I said, you think about the trees of Jannah, then the irrigation of Jannah, all the fruits. Be Allah, now tells about the trees. Allah says, "Of hello Ida, that in both of them are in both of them, of every fruit, two kinds." Every fruit that you find in Jannah, subhanAllah, you will find two kinds of that fruit. LACMA, right? So there's no shortage. And remember, we said that two could just be a number, right? Two could just be a number. It is possible, given the norm of the Arabic language and Allah in the Quran, that the number is just to tell you a lot, that it could be two kinds, three kinds, four kinds, five kinds. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala tells us that in both of them, in both of them, are of every food, two kinds. But our high lightness to could just be another for BAE la beacon onto Caliban. Which of the favors of your Lord to you, or will you deny?
Now, this is Samba brings our attention to the infrastructure of Jannah. That this means a lot to us. Then He takes us to the food of Jannah. This means a lot to us. What else do we like to do when we when we go on and chill out? We choose. We choose where we going destination, right? So now, if it's gonna be in the mountains, right? Don't we do that? Right? With nowadays it's hotels. So what Amelia teases the hotel have? After that, let's shift the restaurant. Let's check the restaurant out. All right, will you achieve? You check out the restaurant. How's the buffet? What are they offering? Well, what is gonna be like when you when you going on a holiday? You think of all these things. Then what else do you think about? You think about the amenities. Do they have a pool? How big is the pool? On the waterslide? Today is their gym? So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala tells us all this. What's the next thing? Let's check the bedroom. Our house, the bedroom gonna be well, it's in the bed. Allah takes our attention to the recliners of Jannah. How the rest is gonna be in Jannah. So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says, "Good tequila for --is-- Lafourche papa. You know, Harmonist a lot for general generally need a lot of technical analysis. They are reclining or they will be sleeping and reclining on beds." And let's be honest, when you go to hotels, whichever doctor we say either then the linen of this hotel, in the pillars of this hotel, in fact, hotels advertise the stuff. They talk to you about the linen used and the pillows used, whether it's duck feathers or goose feathers, or whether they write because you are you trying to understand how restful your sleep is going to be, right? They say they use this cover, this foam on top of the mattress, the sleeping foam, so you even sink more into the mattress. They tell you all these things. And and even in our own discussions, out discuss with people when they choose a particular brand of hotel because of, you know, that this is how the linen is going to be and the bedding is going to be. So He, Allah tells us that they'll be reclining on beds. And the linings and linen of this bed will be made out of silk brocade. So subhanAllah, indeed, this Quran is from Allah because Allah knows that we know each other through experience. But Allah, if He knows us, so He's telling us what matters to us, right? Obviously, this mom Abbas is from bie Anna. You're not become at you can depend. Which of the favors of your Lord to you deny?
Then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says, "For Jannah, Jannah Taney damn." And the fruit of the two Gardens will be hanging low. Because that's how Jannah is. In Jannah, the things will come to you. You don't go to it. Gen lays the rewards of the dunya. The dunya is the effort. Oh, that car was telling some people yesterday. Unfortunately, some people think they're living in Jannah right now. So I want everything to happen with no action. They want peace on earth, no action. They want projects, they don't want to delete, right? They want this, they don't want they just want to dream. I think they're in Jannah. But in Jannah, you don't go to anything. It comes to you. The trees will have below and come to you. You've got to pick. Okay, it comes right to you. It's like having a butler, and he brings everything into your mouth, right? That's how Jannah is. So Allah tells us this because this is this message to us. Oh, Jannah, Jannah Taney damn. And the fruits of the two Gardens, the two Jannahs, then they are closed. For BAE la, Rama Kumar to cut the pen.
Then Allah takes us to the women of Jannah. Thus, no doubt is something which is Allah created as He knows us better than we know ourselves. You know how He knows how He created us. A panda who antenna. So He brings our attention to the women of Jannah. This is not to belittle women as a creation of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala in any way. Law is it to bring sadness to the women of the dunya? Because the reality is, the women of Jannah are a reward. And the women of the dunya are the real deal. Who can three ones? Is the difference between the two? Mmm, right? And those women who are righteous, they will they will be from the from the women of Jannah. But not in comparison to the whole area. Because remember, we said the whole inner reward. They are I think from the things of Jannah. But the women who are righteous and get to Jannah, they will be an inhabitant from the inhabitants of Jannah. There's a difference between a thing from the things on Jannah and an inhabitant from the inhabitants of Jannah. So no one should use modern-day 21st-century bias to read the Quran and develop real feelings in regards to what the Quran is saying. We should be submitted to the world of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and believers in Him and calibrate our hearts and minds appropriately. Okay? So Allah is telling us about the women of Jannah because, no doubt, Allah says women are a means of peace, are a means of solace. And even in the dunya, Allah tells us from the signs of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, and her pelican, "We've created for you your spouses, little school, Oh Elena, so you may derive peace from them, serenity from them, sanctity from them." I know top. This is that brings Jannah. And and eyeglasses. This is a sign from the signs of Allah. So Allah tells us that if that is gentle on earth, then in Jannah, you'll have a Jannah. And that will be the women of Jannah that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has created for your mosses. Faheen Nicosia to Perth. Let me up to meet wooden ancient Okinawan again. In them are women limiting their glances. Their glances are only for you. There's men. The possessor. But by nature, right? These are women who only been created for you. And the glances are only for you. And Allah says, "Untouched before them by any man or Jinn." And the scholars, this Ayah is used as evidence in in other sciences of Islam where they discussed the concept of Jinn and possession and so on and so forth. I'm highlighting it, but that's not our discussion for today. Abbas is 50 a year. And Arabic, oh man, to candy Ben. Which of the favors of your Lord do you deny?
Then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, after telling us now about the maidens and the restrained glances that they have, and that they are untouched, and before we move on, even our best Allah Allah says that or He describes the females of Jannah as having shins that allow you to see the inside through the skin. That's are pure and crystal. The skin is or the skin of the human Jannah. So the so however, shared with us descriptions of what they learned from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala tells us the reason for the reward. He says, "Hello jazz, it's any illness." And this is the reward for you to heed anything. But Jannah. Allah says, "Your toe heel is exam." And is there any reward for that? Yes, I accept a sir. Is there any reward for your excellence except excellence? Is there any reward for your servitude and submission to the will of Allah except Allah? La ilaha illallah. This a bad. Allah doesn't need it. Our our righteousness does not raise His Majesty. Our sin does not decrease His Majesty. But we worship Him, and He gives us Jannah. And He says, "Is there any reward for your excellence besides excellence?" And what lie? This is the meaning of Allah when we say Allah is Kareem. Honestly, I think about this are a lot of times. And I've been blessed with alcohol that Institute to teach a course dedicated the names of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So I've had to go on my own journey with many names. And when you think of the term Kareem, I don't think I mean nothing can describe it better than her just sound. It's a Neela lesson that it's your job to worship Allah. He doesn't need you. You need Him. And He gives you Jannah for worshipping Him. He gives you Jannah for doing what you were supposed to do anyway, whether there was a reward or not. There's no other God worthy of worship besides Allah. And He gives you Jannah for doing that. That is that is Allah being carried. And in reality, indeed, it's Karim because we know our mistakes and our guidance. And we also know how I miss guidance, which means the reward is beyond our ability. But Allah gives it to us because He's our him as well. He's Karim and Rahim. He showers His mercy upon us. He expands our reward. So it's worthy of that limit. He'll Jersey is an inland exam. So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?
Then Allah says, "What I mean? Do imagine that Allah says, 'Do means any lesser?'" Allah says, "And lesser than that." Those two jealous that we've just described are to add the gentleness. And this is what I was talking about. That even in this whole Jew ality that Allah tells us about Jahannam, He tells us about two two paradises. Then He tells about two paradises. He tells about the higher one and the lower one. Now, there's no economy Jannah. His new budget programmed in Jannah. But Allah describes for us the Jannah for a people, and the Jannah for those who did less. Because Allah is just. And Allah has told us there are those who supersede, and that there are those who are mocked acid. There are those who do the bare minimum. And there are those who oppress themselves. They do good deeds, and they do bad deeds. Or those who even just disbelief, right? Now, we know about the companion who came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the Bedouin man, and said, "That I will own, you know, I would only do the minimum. What I get Jannah for?" Yes, if you do if you do the minimum and you truth. He goes, "I'll do the minimum." And if Selim said, "If you're truthful in what you say, and capture, I do five Surahs, nothing more, and leave sin, you get Jannah. Only give Zakat, no Sadaqah, you get Jannah. Are only fast the month of Ramadan, no other days, and I leave sin, you get Jannah." But can you can Jannah like the one who fasts Ramadan in the sixth of Shawwal and Monday and and so on and so forth? The one who reads his four Ayahs, and he reads his hardship, and then he reads the here to do, and here to Masjid, and here is extra. The one who goes for Hajj, Jenny goes for Ramadan, he does another Hajj. No doubt the rewards are going to be different. So Allah tells us about the admission. Never roll under the Jannah is also easy. But Allah tells us about the great Jannah. So that we don't settle for amazing. We settle for super amazing. Allah doesn't want us to have no ambitions. He wants us to have high ambitions. This is the nature of the Quran. The Quran urges us to think big. The Quran Allah urges us to have greater goals, not goals that are easy to achieve. The Quran urges us to have dreams that make us scared, because those are the real dreams of a believer. The dreams that make you scared, not meanings, get in a positive way that you really feel that, wow, I need to act, and I need to work. I don't know if I'll manage, but I'm gonna give it a shot. That's the that's the nature. That's how the Quran urges. And the prophets of Allah are having will set up nurtured us in the same way. You always told us, think big. Even if you see the Day of Judgment becoming, it's happening, and you have a seedling in your hand, planted. And expect your reward with Allah. Be brave, right? That is how the Quran and Sunnah nurtures. As if we ponder over it, it's always pushing us to be brave. So He's pushing us to do more. It's always teaching us. They have high aspirations, high ambitions, greater goals, because we were Alma that was sent to give them, not to take. We were sent to make a difference. We were sent to happen to things rather than things happening to us. No doubt He's gonna lecture us upon these paradigms.
So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala teaches us about this Jannah. And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala teaches it to us to give us an ability to compare. And that's how I'm gonna run through the remaining Ayahs. I'll go to the remaining Ayahs comparing it, okay, to what I've just told you about the first Jannah. Now, first you know, though, a tariff danfa ba ela, or optical Matt, you can't be bad. We spoke about the trees, we spoke about the rivers, we spoke about the fruits, we spoke about the beds, and we've given these descriptions, right? So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So as we've seen, Ayah number 46 to the end of the Surah is when we find the description of Jannah. So we have an, we have the the first class of the elite class, the upper class. And then we have indeed, but here me a slightly less elite than the first elite. So I'm also had avatar. And Ayah number 46, we said, Allah says, "But for him who fears the standing before his Lord, he would have two gardens." In Ayah 62, where we are now, Allah says, "And below these two, they are to Ithaca. There are two gardens, Jannah town." Okay, but here Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, it doesn't mention fear here. He says, "When he went off on Muhammad, he was a woman." Do any imagined that time? And below this Jannah, another two gardens. So you see already the difference that those people who are for different level in terms of the Eman, then these people who will get this Jannah. Then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, He says, "In Ayah number 48, he says, 'The latter a flan.'" Remember the outstretched branches. And in Ayah number 64, He says, "Would hermit am." He describes dark green trees. And by the way, this is the shortest Ayah on the forum. "Would have matter." Just as a side doctor, it's it's an entire sentence. "Would have matter" is an entire sentence. This is the shortest Ayah in the Quran when it's a complete sentence. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says, "Would have." Then this is in the lower level. So Allah gives it color. It's something you can describe. But the water of math, and you can't describe it. So when Allah tells about the trees of the other Jannah, it's beyond our ability to describe here. It's also beyond our ability to describe. But we know it's V. All right. Then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, He in Ayah number 50, He says, "When both of the paradises, there'll be these springs are flowing in water." In Ayah number 66, Allah says, "In them both will be two springs bubbling out." No bucket at, right? So here what tells us about it? Doesn't tell us about streams flowing. He tells us about water bubbling out of the ground. You can see it's the difference, right? But it's both amazing, no doubt. But if you had the choice, what would you want? You want the flowing one? It's a human nature. Allah knows us. Then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala tells us in Ayah number 52, that "In them both will be every kind of fruit." In pezzo Jam. We-we-we spoke about this. We spoke about how it's beyond our imagination to, you know, describe these fruits. And Allah told us how these fruits have types, two types. But two times, just the number, many types, right? Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala tells us that "In both of them, in both of them, are of every food, two kinds." But our high lightness to could just be another for BAE la, beacon onto Caliban. Which of the favors of your Lord to you, or will you deny?
Then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, He says, "In them are fruits and dates and pomegranates." There's a list. Now, here ants fixed. They be getting it. This days, this fruits. And really, a lot of the fluid stains, pomegranates. I mean, it's so amazing and beautiful. But can you see, some had Allah, how eloquent this Quran is, and how in tune it is with our hearts and minds? The creation of Allah, so Hannah, what time, right? So the fact that now it's it's finite. In the first one, it was infinite. It wasn't none. But now here, it's numbered. There's a difference. Then in Ayah number 54, Allah tells us about the reclining cultures and the the soup brocade and so on and so forth. In Ayah number 76, Allah tells us about the recliners of the lower Jannah. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says, "They will be reclining on green fine cushions, right? And decorated carpets." He says, "He says, rough water body, right? Decorated carpets." This is in the derivative. So the first Jannah, the imagination is is way open than the lower Jannah. No Jannah, there's a bit more detail being given, right? So our imagination is slightly curved, right? But again, it's beautiful, brothers and sisters. No, it's not here to I told you, it's not be riots. Are not here to make you be sad. Desires. I we had to push you. To push you. Okay. Then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala tells us about the women of Jannah, as we spoke about in Ayah number 58, when He describes the women of Jannah. Allah, sorry. In now, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala describes them as rubies and pearls. They are like rubies and pearls. The impurity will be like rubies and pearls. Earlier on, Allah told us that they limit their gaze and they saw they solely. They not touched by man or Jinn, right? The attention is only for you. For for you. Allah, in the corresponding Ayah, Allah says, He says, "The women of Jannah, they're like rubies and pearls." But what too? That's amazing story. But you can see the difference when you do the comparison. Then in Ayah number 60, we know that Allah said, "Is there any reward for good exam except good, which is exam?" And obviously, Allah is not asking us a question to give an answer. This is Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala making a statement. And we have this type of questions even in in the English language. They call rhetorical questions. Then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, now, then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala goes on to mention additional descriptions of the women of the lower Jannah. So in Ayah number 70, He says, "In Jannah, there are women who are pure and beautiful." Claritin listen. And then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala tells us in Ayah number 72, "They are guarded in tents." And then He says, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, in Ayah number 74, that "They untouched by man or Jinn." Same length before, right? No doubt, this is specific to Jannah. So anything specific to Jannah is untouched by man or Jinn. So the females of the high Jannah and the lower Jannah share this description. But the point is, when He came to the females of the high, description were shed. Females of the lower Jannah, a beautiful description was shared. But more, and naturally, the imagination is curved again. Both Jannah, all the Jannah are beautiful. But Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is sharing with us the subtle differences so that we push ourselves. And then Allah obviously often repeats the viel A or B Kumar to Caliban. Which of the favors of your Lord do you deny?
Then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala ends off by saying, "Tomorrow, customer pick a little generally when a quorum." And we spoke about this at the beginning. But after all the stubborn customer, blessed is the name of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, the possessor of JLL, of majesty and Ekrem, and honor. And He is a rough man. We we we we we say, "Blessed is the name of our Lord." And that name was used at the beginning of RAM. And we almost had a grant has the understanding of the Quran and the ability to practice upon the Quran and the teachings of the Quran. Allah blesses to be motivated by the Quran. That was panatela connect us with the Quran. Violate panatela cause the poor entity a companion with us in the grave. And make us from the family of the Quran. And the Day of Judgment. And grant us the position of Jannah where the family of the Quran will be. It's about you being regular with the Quran. It's not just about behalf of the Quran. Many people think that that Jannah is for the prefer. And for those who are regular with the Quran, the Quran doesn't leave them. They always with it. They have their daily sitting with the Quran. They never end a day except that they've given the Quran its hawk, like you give your parents. They have like you give your children. It's how it's right. You give the Quran, it's right. It's not a side thing. It's by the way, when you're sitting and doing nothing, and you think, "Let me read the Quran." And the days when you you go days without reading the Quran. No, brothers and sisters in Islam. This is this is the timeless Marika. We need to have a relationship with it where we read it, where we listen to it, where we memorize parts of it, where we practice the damper and ponder over it. Right? And as I've told you before, the basic level of the damper is you, after understanding the Ayah, asking yourself, "Do the meanings of this Ayah exist in my life? How close am I to be to the action matters of this Ayah? How far am I from the ideals that the Ayah is seeking?" This is basic to them. But no one is to be a specialist in Arabic language with this matter. When Allah says, "The EE variety, the permanent pariah," and He's mentioning it generally, this implies every Muslim, every human being. "Do not ponder over the Quran." Which means there's a common denominator that we all share with regard to the number of the Quran. And that is basically sitting down and pondering over your life and that Ayah that you just read. And what is telling you. And that's how you slowly but surely grow until your character becomes the character of the Quran. And your sign is the sign of the pure, as we said, an 11-4 at me. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala grant us this Dory's. Then we have asked brothers and sisters. And it's not everything correct is from Allah alone. And He's perfect. In any mistake, sir, for myself. And share part. And I praise Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala for blessing me with the ability to share some insights into the Surah. And ask Allah to forgive me for any weaknesses in explaining that which needed to be explained. And any mistakes. And once again, ask Allah to make this a gathering forgiving of honesty.
