There are people whose bad speculation went far to even sometimes suspecting the worst of their wife and thinking that their wife is with another man in a relationship sometimes. All because of what? Su'u dhan. Stay away from what? Speculation.
Anything that's based on speculation. I think, I believe, I assume da'la min hadihi. We don't want to hear all of this.
Surah Al-Hujurat is a surah which is Madaniyyah, meaning it came down after the Messenger salallahu alayhi wa sallam migrated from the city of Mecca to the city of Medina. So any surah that's called Madaniyyah are the surahs that came down after the Messenger alayhi salatu wassalam migrated alayhi salatu wassalam. This surah has three ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu.
The beginning it starts with what? It starts with ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu. Who knows what the beginning first of the five ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu is. So inshallah ta'ala the benefits going to be an interaction inshallah ta'ala.
I ask questions you guys answer it and that's how we're gonna inshallah ta'ala take the reflection. So there's five ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu mentioned in this surah. Each and every one of them have a significance.
Hey, what's the first? Yeah Not in Surah Al-Hujurat. Surah Al-Hujurat. There's three times it's mentioned, five times it's mentioned.
What's the first one? The first ayah, ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu la taqaddimu bayna yadaillahi wa asri. The recitation that we heard today recited. What was it ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu? La taqaddamu.
So the one that we heard was ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu la taqaddamu. Good. What's the second ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu, the one in the order that it's in? Yeah Ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu la tarfa'u aswatakum.
So the first one is whose rights? Ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu Allah Azza wa Jalla. Ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu la taqaddimu bayna yadaillahi wa rasuli. So it's Allah and his messenger.
That's the first rights that the ayah starts with. The second one it talks about whose rights. Ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu la tarfa'u aswatakum fawqa sawti an-nabi wa la taj'haru lahu bilqawli ka jahri ba'dithum li ba'din an tahbata amalukum wa antum la tash'uroon.
It's whose rights? The messenger alayhi salatu wassalam. That's the second. Hey, when is the other ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu? The second one is what? Ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu inja'akum fasiqum binabain fatabayyanu.
Now here it talks about what? Who is it talking about? Yeah Which people is it talking about? Ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu? So it's talking about It's talking about which type of fasiqia So it's talking, this third one is talking to the ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu, those of you believe If a fasiq comes to you, so it's talking to the believers, all three or all five of them It's talking to the believers, but it's telling them if a fasiq, so it's issue related to a fasiq. The fourth one is what? The fourth one is, ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu la yasgharu qawmun min qawmin asa'i yakulu khayra minhum wa la nisa'u min nisa'in asa'i yakunna khayra minhunna wa la tanmizu anfusakum wa la tanabazu bil alqaab bi'sa lismu alfusuqu ba'dil iman wa man lam yatu fa ulaikum dhalimun. That's the fourth one.
This is talking about what? So the first one, ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu injaakum fasiqum binaba'in is talking about the fasiq in the time when he's present. Ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu Ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu la yasgharu qawmin min qawmin is talking about what? When you're together, the believer, what about the fifth one and the last one? What's the last fifth, the fifth one, ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu? Last fifth one, the fifth one. Ya ayyuha allatheena aamanu ujtanibu katheeran Now it's talking about when the believer is not there with you, think good of your brother.
Don't backbite him. So inshallah ta'ala this surah as you can see it's dealing with what is, was it dealing with? Mannerism. Akhlaq.
And that's why I thought this surah inshallah ta'ala would be a good surah for us to have a reflection over. Some of the scholars they call surah al-hujurat surah al-adab ama surah al-adab. Because it teaches us mannerism and how to carry ourselves as Muslims and how we should be.
Especially when we live in the lands of the non-Muslims. A lot of the times we pick up bad habits, bad mannerism from the people we're around. And we forget as Muslims we have a code of conduct.
We have a way that we should be carrying ourselves. The first mannerism that we as Muslims have is that we do not put anything or anyone before Allah and his messenger. The sign of the believer brothers is that Allah and his messenger are number one.
In many places in the Quran Allah tells us this. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he says فَلَا وَرَبِّكَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى يُحَكِمُوكَ فِي مَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَجِدُوا فِي عَنفُسِهِمْ حَرَجًا مِّمَّا قَضَيْتَ وَيُسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا That you're not a true believer until you make the Prophet ﷺ and Allah your judge in all matters in all affairs. Also Allah says in another ayah subhanahu wa ta'ala يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَأُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ Obey Allah and obey the messenger.
In another place Allah says subhanahu wa ta'ala وَإِنَّمَا كَانَ قَوْلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذَا دُعُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَنْ يَقُولُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعَنَا وَأُولَئِكُمُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ The sign of the believer is what? What's the sign of the believer? What's the sign that you know this individual is a true true believer? Is that when Allah and his messenger pass a judgment all that you hear from him is I hear and I obey. وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُ أَمْرًا أَن يَقُولَ لَهُمُ الْخِيْرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ When Allah and his messenger pass a judgment in a matter you have no choice. بِذَلِكَ الْإِمَامُ الْبُخَارِيُونَ رِيْتٍ فِي صَحِيحِهِ مِنْ حَدِيتِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ That the Prophet said كُلُّ أُمَّةِ يَتْقُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَبَى All of my ummah will enter Jannah except the one who refuses The Sahabas were shocked and they were How would somebody say that they don't want to enter Jannah? Is there somebody who doesn't want to go to the place? مَا لَعَيْنُ الرَّاتِ وَلَا أُذُنٌ سَمِعَتْ وَلَا خَطَرَ عَلَى قَلْبِ بَشَرٍ Is there somebody who doesn't want to enter Jannah? They said The Prophet said مَنْ أَطَاعَنِي دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنْ أَعْصَانِي فَقَدْ أَبَى The one who obeys me will enter Jannah And the one who doesn't He is the one who refuses He doesn't want to enter Jannah So to enter Jannah To be from the people of Jannah You are not allowed to put anyone's opinion before the opinion of who? Allah Azza wa Jalla Are we all together? And also the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم And the Sahabas were like that At the time of the Prophet If he said something They would do it And Imam Abu Dawood narrated in his Sunan That the Prophet one day was addressing the companions And Abdullah ibn Mas'ud was walking outside Imagine this Abdullah ibn Mas'ud was not even in the Masjid He was coming into the Masjid And he heard the Prophet Say to the people sit down He didn't wait to come in And be in front of the Prophet And then sit down He sat exactly where he was standing When the Prophet said it Because they believe that They believe they have to follow the Prophet Salvation and prosperity is in that brothers Every conflict Any dispute That we have amongst ourselves Any dispute Whether it be between two brothers Whether it be between a wife and a husband Whether it be between children and parents All of it the judgments were فَإِن تَنْعَزَعْتُنْ فِي شَيْءٍ فَارُدُّوهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ إِن كُنتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيلًا Anytime there is a conflict and a dispute We're always going to find the solution in the book of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala So that's what the ayah speaks about One of the things that this surah Because I can't go through all of it inshallah We're just going to shed some benefits on it Is Allah ta'ala which is the second يَا أَيُّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا Allah ta'ala what does he say يَا أَيُّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ النَّبِيِّ Don't raise your voices over the voices of who When the Prophet ﷺ passed away It means don't raise your voices over his narrations and the hadith when they are mentioned If somebody says to you قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَرْعِهَا سَمْعَكُ Bring your ears close Just like when Allah says يَا أَيُّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا As Abdullah ibn Mithsa said bring your ear close Listen attentively Because you're either going to be told something to do Or you're going to be told stay away from something So the believer wants to hear what the Prophet ﷺ says And this is what the Prophet ﷺ was teaching the companions He told him يَا أَيُّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ النَّبِيِّ وَلَا تَجْهَرُوا لَهُ بِالْقَوْلِ كَجَهْرِ بَعْضِكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ And do not address the Prophet ﷺ And call him by his name Don't say يا محمد Don't say يا محمد Don't address him by this name Because Allah Azawajal in the entirety of the Qur'an He did not call him by his pure name No his actual name Nowhere in the Qur'an did Allah say يا محمد When He called out the Prophet ﷺ He either says يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ آمَنُ يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ Or a description of his يَا أَيُّهَا المُزَّمِّلُ يَا أَيُّهَا المُدَّثِّرُ Out of respect for him But you find all the other Prophets Allah calls them by their names يَا نُوحُ قَدْ جَادَلْتَنَا فَأَكْتَرْتَ جِدَالَنَا فَأَتِنَا بِمَا تَعِيدُنَا إِنْ كُنتُمْ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ We find Ibrahim ﷺ We find Nabiullah Musa We find Nabiullah Isa Dawood All of the Prophets They are called by their actual name Whereas Nabiullah Muhammad is not And this is love and status of the Prophet ﷺ So we have to understand Our Prophet ﷺ is a maqam and his position And our Prophet brothers and sisters We have to love him So much so Look at the Sahaba This is how they felt towards him They really really loved him Because they followed the hadith لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ وَلَدِي وَوَلِدِي وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ He was more beloved to them Than any and everything And even their nafs of course بِذَلِكَ أُعْمَرٌ بِالْخَطَّابِ When he came to the Prophet ﷺ And he said to the Prophet ﷺ لَأَنتَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ You are more beloved to me مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ Any and everything Except myself This is what he said at the beginning Then the Prophet ﷺ said No Umar Umar Oh no You have to love me Because it's a sign of Iman More than any and everybody And so what happened Umar thought He realized what he said wasn't Wasn't correct And he said to the Prophet ﷺ Now you are more beloved to me Than even myself And then the Prophet ﷺ said الآن يا عمر Umar Now your Iman is complete Are we all together brothers Yeah So loving the Prophet ﷺ More than and beyond everything Even your wealth And your children And your brothers And your cousins And your relatives Any and everybody Who do you love more The Prophet ﷺ You love the Prophet ﷺ وَلِذَٰلِكَ دِيْسِ آيَ يَا أَيَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ When he came down The noble companion تابت رضي الله تعالى عنه كان جهوري الصوت He said he had a very loud voice So when in the gatherings Of the Prophet ﷺ He would sometimes talk And he would raise his voice So he thought this ayah was talking about him Because what did the ayah say at the end أَن تَحْبَطَ أَعْمَالُكُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ Oh this is serious now The consequences of raising your voice Over the Prophet ﷺ Will make your what Actions nullified And you don't even know So then this Scared this noble companion So he went Locked himself in his house And he never came out Look at the Prophet ﷺ He was a very caring man He was caring for his community And this is one of the things that Amazes me about the Prophet ﷺ All of those companions that he has He knows which one is missing He is aware He asks about him So he said where is Taabit I haven't seen Taabit They said Oh Rasulullah Taabit He locked himself in the house The minute that verse came down He is scared of the consequences Of this verse أَن تَحْبَطَ أَعْمَالُكُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ So the Prophet ﷺ called him He said bring him to me Taabit was brought And the Prophet ﷺ said to him Taabit Shall I tell you something Taabit said Yes Rasulullah So he said Why did you first The Prophet ﷺ asked him He said Why did you go and lock yourself In the house He said Ya Rasulullah I know I'm a man who has a very loud voice I know when I speak And you might have spoken And I might have over Overcome your voice I might have been louder Than your voice He said Ya Rasulullah I'm scared أَنْ تَحْبَطَ أَعْمَالُكُمْ أَنْتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ The Prophet ﷺ said to him Don't worry Taabit You are not only going to be From the people of Jannah But you're also going to die As a martyr And Taabit ﷺ Who died as a martyr And he also is from the people of Jannah Again this shows us Something else brothers That we When we read a verse in the Qur'an We don't look at it To apply it to other people We don't look at this verse and say I want to use this verse Against Fulan and Allan But we look at it Where do I stand in this verse How much of it Am I implementing Right brothers Because the Qur'an was sent down For us to what Fix our issues The third يَا إِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا Is what يَا إِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ جَاءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَئٍ فَتَثَبَّتُوا أَمَا فَتَبَيَّنُوا If a Fasiq comes to you With news What do you do You have to verify So the people are categories A reliable Honest person Comes to you with news Of course you You take it But a person Who is a Fasiq A Fasiq The scholars they say Is a person Who commits major sins Or He is consistent Upon minor sins Fasiq is a person Who what It's a person Who commits major sin Okay For the Muslim Because the word Fasiq Can sometimes be used For the disbelievers right But for the believer When it's used It's referring to somebody Who commits major sins Or a person Who is consistent upon what Minor sins Consistent We won't say The person who does minor sins Because we all Fall into it And if a person repents From the major sin التائب من الذنب كما لا ذنب له The one who repents From his sins Is like he's never ever committed That sin in the first place صح We're talking about the person Who is consistent upon His major sins And he's also consistent upon His minor sins This person is a Fasiq If he brings you news Allah here says to you Verify What do you do You verify the information Are we all together brothers You don't take it Straight away from the person's mouth What about if a reliable person Comes to you You take it You trust the person You believe them But what about if the person Is unknown to you The scholars they said He also falls under يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ جَاءَكُمْ He's unknown to you So because he's unknown to you You also have to verify The information Are we all together You have to what Verify information And this is very important Because a lot of people Don't verify information They take it straight away And you find A lot of the times Between wife and husband There are a lot of these issues Somebody else is telling them something Spoon feeding them information It has no basis So that when you bring The two people together Your aim and objective Is to bring the two people together So you're telling them This information is not true All of it is made up It's fabricated So Muslim brothers and sisters If you follow Surah Al-Hujurat Al-Adab Al-Akhlaaq Wallahi you will see him As a different person يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ جَاءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَأٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا What's gonna happen أَنْ تُصِيبُ قَوْمًا بِجَهَالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُ عَلَىٰ مَا فَعَلْتُ النَّادِمِينَ You're gonna regret What you do later The consequences of Acting upon this information That you did not verify You're gonna regret The consequences of it The fourth يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا Is what يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا يَسْقَلْ قَوْمًا مِنْ قُومٍ Do not mock one another And belittle each other This is very common Amongst the Muslims صح وللأسف شديد May Allah forgive us For our private and our public sins But mocking another Muslim Belittling him Ridiculing him Who is he What does he think he is This is not the sign of a believer A believer does not put down Another believer He always makes dua for him في ظهر الغيب When he's not with him He makes dua He says اللهم ثبتوا يا رب العالمين اللهم اسكنوا في جنة الفردوس And he makes dua He wants the best for this person Are we all together brothers لذلك This is an illness of the what مرض من أمراض القلوب It's an illness from the illnesses of the heart لذلك That's why Because it's a sickness And it's an illness Allah will not take the people to Jannah Unless he cleans it from them And that's why Just after the people make it over the Sirat Before they go to Jannah All of these things have to وَنَزَأْنَا مَا فِي سُدُورِهِمْ مِنْ غِلٍّ إِخْوَانًا عَلَىٰ سُرُورٍ مُتَقَابِلِينَ Allah The hearts are cleansed And they're cleaned So that when they meet each other In Jannah All of that has gone But as believers We have to try to fix that what We need to fix those issues Don't ridicule another Muslim And belittle them And the ayah tells us something very profound Which is عَسَىٰ أَن يَكُونُ خَيْرًا مِنْهُ This person that you're putting down And you're mocking Who told you what they are In the eyes of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala And the scholars they mentioned That there was a noble companion By the name of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud رضي الله تعالى عنه Abdullah ibn Mas'ud one day He must have climbed a tree And the sahabas they saw The size of his what Legs Legs It was very small So what they did is The sahabas didn't belittle him But they just laughed That's all A very light laugh They just laughed That's all What did the Prophet say to them عليه الصلاة والسلام What did he say The Prophet said By Allah Azza wa Jalla Very tough Very tough Legs are Heavier than Your foot is The Prophet said عليه الصلاة والسلام MashaAllah The Prophet said That his leg This small sac that you're looking at It's heavier in the eyes of Allah Than the mountain of Uhud right MashaAllah Have you guys ever seen The mountain of Uhud Yes I have seen It's a big mountain right Imagine his leg is In the eyes of Allah So what did the sahabas not realize That the way Allah scales things And the way that the humans scale things Is different Our scaling machine is Based on the apparent إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُنظُرُ إِلَىٰ أَجْسَامِكُمْ وَلَا إِلَىٰ صُوَّرِكُمْ وَلَكِ يَنظُرُ إِلَىٰ قُلُوبِكُمْ وَعَمَالِكُمْ And no one else sees this Only Allah sees this So if this person is up Or if this person is down هَذَا بَيْنَهُ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ You don't know this What does he do behind closed doors How is his heart Are we all together brothers Does that make sense brothers And if you look at the sahabas When the prophet praised Allah praised them in the Quran Allah didn't just praise their appearance Allah praised their outward action And he praised their what Their hearts مُحَمَّدُ الرَّسُولُ اللَّهُ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ أَشِدَّوَ عَلَىٰ الْكُفَارِ رُحَبَأُ بَيْنَهُمْ تَرَاهُمْ رُكَعًا سُجَدًا So when you see them You're going to see them in ruku and sujood And then after what did he say يَبْتَوُونَ فَضْلًا So their hearts now Their hearts Look at it It's in another level All of this they're doing Who they're doing it for Allah Azza wa Jalla So Allah Ta'ala He spoke high of their actions And he also spoke high of their Their hearts وَلِذَلِكَ يَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ رَجُلٌ سَمِينٌ بَدِينٌ A man who is big and tough MashaAllah he did i'tikaf in the gym And he is He has spent so much time working out He will come the day of judgment And he will be put on the scale فَلَا يَزِنُوا عِندَ اللَّهِ جَنَاحَ بَعُضَةٍ He will not weigh the what The wing of a mosquito But the humans when they saw this man They would say wow this man is everything And we all together So there are many places the Prophet taught the sahabas That the way you guys are looking at things Is not the way Allah looks at it subhanahu wa ta'ala صح Even Iblis The beginning he got it wrong And that was his reason why he left Jannah What did he say? He was the first one to do this He said قَالَ أَنَا قَيْرٌ مِنْهُ I am better هَيَا إِبْلِيسَ Why are you better? This is the question صح هَيَا إِبْلِيسَ Why are you better than Adam? He got it all wrong He thought the good and the virtue is connected to what? Where he is made from Compared to where Adam is made from صح He said قَالَ أَنَا قَيْرٌ مِنْهُ خَلَقْتَنِي مِنْ نَارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُ مِنْ طِيلٍ So the point is that he got it wrong The scaling He is weighing it wrong He is thinking that virtue is connected to what you are made from صح But the sad thing is that The plots and plans that shaytan has for us And the tricks that he uses against us Is the same old tricks Even now This Muslim or this individual Looks at this other person and belittles him With the same things that shaytan was belittling Are we all together brothers? So we don't belittle our Muslim brothers صح We always want our Muslim brothers to be up We help them We support them We grab them up We say we can do it We encourage them The last and final Which one? Stay away from what brothers? Speculation Assumption A lot of people believe A lot of things that they made up They didn't even hear it from anywhere His brain just told him this He is like when he walked in he didn't even give salams properly The brother came from a 95 shift He was tired He was exhausted I know this brother I know he is up to something All of it when you follow it up Is all based on what? Speculations And all of that And this my brothers and sisters Is something we really need to fix If we want to have a good relationship with our Muslim brothers If we want to have a good relationship with even our spouses There are people whose dhan Or their su'ud dhan Their bad speculation went far To even sometimes suspecting the worst of their wife And thinking that their wife is with another man in a relationship sometimes All because of what? Su'ud dhan There is men that have these issues Why do they have it? You are not following this verse يَا إِلَىٰ نِعَمَلْ تَنِبُوا كَثِيرًا مِنَ الْضَنِّ Stay away from what? Speculation يَا أَخِي Upon you is what? التَتَبُّت Upon you is what? يَقِيل Anything that is based on speculation I think, I believe, I assume دَعْنَا مِنْ هَذِهِ We don't want to hear all of this We are all together brothers So if we follow these five يَا يَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا Can you already see what is happening now? In surah al-Hujurat We haven't even gone through all of the other places That the surah has I want to mention one last verse I want to bring this, inshallah ta'ala To the end and the conclusion Is that the surah talks about something known as الأخوة الإيمانية Brotherhood, صح يَا يَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ The believers are what brothers to each other? What are we to each other? إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةً The believers are what? The brothers فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَا أَخَوَيْكُمْ You have to perfect your brotherhood You have to perfect your what? Sisterhood It's fascinating that surah mentions Brotherhood and sisterhood in what context? It mentions it in the context of the Muslim fighting وَإِنْ طَائِفَتَانِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَتَتَلُوا فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَهُمَا فَإِنْ بَغَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الْأُقْرَى فَقَاتِلُوا الَّتِي تَبْغِي حَتَّى تَفِيءَ إِلَىٰ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ فَاءَتْ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَهُمَا بِالْعَدْلِ وَأَقَاصِطُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ صح؟ So after it talks about brotherhood and how we should be together as brothers so after it talks about battle and fighting, two groups of Muslims are fighting each other, it reminds us that even if you lost your loved one another Muslim killed your loved one remember he is what? At the end of all of this he is still your? He is still your Muslim brother Also Allah mentions in Surah Al-Baqarah يَا أَيُّهِ الَّذِي لَا مَنُ كُتِبْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِصَاصُ فِي الْقَتْلَةِ الْفُرْضُ بِالْفُرْضِ وَالْعَبْدُ بِالْعَبْدِ وَالْمُنْثَى بِالْمُنْثَى فَمَنْ عُفِيَ لَهُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ شَيْءٍ مُفَتِّمَعٌ وَأَدَعْنُ إِلَيْهِ بِعْسَاسَ Allah is mentioning here subhanahu wa ta'ala the concept of قِصَاص which is capital punishment and a Muslim being killed for another Muslim that he killed but in that context what does Allah say فَمَنْ عُفِيَ لَهُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ anyone who what? anyone who forgives his brother so can it get worse if somebody killed your killed your family member you can't get worse right? Allah is still telling you that he is your brother there is no way you can go around this one he is your Muslim brother who transgressed of course he has his consequences for his actions he is your brother at the end of the day are we all together brothers? so people are cutting the brotherhood for something much less than that for what? for much less than that people haven't killed all they've done is they probably said something wrong to you and now they are asking what? for forgiveness and rectification so I ask Allah Ta'ala that he increases us in understanding of the Quran by Allah the Quran is full of gems and anyone who opens their heart فيه نبأ ما قبلكم فيه نبأ ما قبلكم وخبر ما بعدكم وحكم ما بينكم هو الفصل ليس بالهز من تركه من جبار قسمه الله ومن ابتغى الهدى في غيره أذنه الله وقد تكفل الله لمن قرأ القرآن وعمل بما فيه ألا يظل في الدنيا ولا يشقى في الآخرة فقال تعالى فإما يأتي أنكم مني هدى فمن اتبع هدايا فلا يظل ولا يشقى if you want the news and the stories of the nations that came before you find it in the Quran if you want to know the stories of those or the news of what's going to happen in the future فيه قبر ما بعدكم that's going to come it tells you the Qiyam al Sa'a and things that are going to take place it's also a judgement between us and any matters that we have it's a serious book that brings an end to all of our issues من تركه من جبار قسمه الله any tyrant who goes against this book Allah will smash his back ومن ابتغى الهدى في غيره أذنه الله anyone who looks for guidance other than this book Allah will humiliate that person if you try to look for guidance in other than it and Allah Ta'ala placed it upon himself that anybody who reads the Quran and acts upon what is in it Allah Ta'ala will not let them be misguided on this earth and also Allah Ta'ala will make them from the inhabitants of Jannah so let's ponder on the Quran and these Mashallah I was told what Sheikh Muhammad is doing in his masjid for Fajr every morning where he goes to the tafsir of the Quran or he goes for reflection Mashallah over these verses that are recited in Salatul Fajr this is اعمالاً بقوله تعالى أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ أَمْ عَلَى قُلُوبِنَا قَفَالُهَا أَمْ أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ غَيْرِ اللَّهِ لَوَجَدُوا فِيهِ اِفْتِلَافٍ كَثِيرًا to ponder on the Quran that's what we were told so inshallah 20 minutes after you pray Salatul Fajr yeah, so just sit there for 20 minutes and take some benefits from a surah or a verse or a few verses this inshallah can change your life bismillahirrahmanirrahim I ask Allah to forgive us for any shortcomings or mistakes anything I've said that was wrong or incorrect is from me and shaytan and Allah and his messenger are both free from it سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ أَشْهَدُ أَن لا إِلهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ
