Quran Study Sura 1419, Chastity-premarital pregnancy, Sura 17:47, we are allowed ... - Rashad Khalifa

Speaker 1 (0:00) A'udhu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem. (0:03) Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. (0:06) Every page of the Quran says, Worship only the Omnipotent One. (0:12) Do you not realize that God has created the heavens and the earth for a specific purpose? (0:18) Batool, stop this noise there, Batool. Speaker 15 (0:22) It's only Rachel. (0:24) Rachel. (0:26) There we go. Speaker 1 (0:28) She knows what she wants. (0:31) When I sit in Mama's lap, that's all. (0:35) A'udhu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem. (0:36) Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. (0:37) Verse 19 of Surah 14 says, Do you not realize that God has created the heavens and the earth for a specific purpose? (0:45) If He wills, He can remove you and substitute a new creation in your place. (0:50) This is not too difficult for God. (0:53) When they all stood before God, the followers said to the leaders, We used to follow you. (1:00) Can you spare us even a little bit of God's restitution? (1:03) They said, Had God guided us, we would have guided you. (1:08) Now it is too late. (1:09) Whether we grieve or resort to patience, there is no exit for us. (1:14) This is a little past tense to emphasize that this is actually what happened on the Day of Judgment. (1:20) As witnessed by God. (1:23) The Day of Judgment is not here yet. (1:26) But these are things. (1:27) The Bible and the Quran speak in the past tense to indicate that this is a prophecy that is sure to come to pass. Speaker 10 (1:35) This is not too difficult for God. (1:37) Question asked in Arabic. Speaker 1 (1:41) Wa ma dhalika ala Allahi bi azeez. Speaker 10 (1:46) It sounds like it's no difficult at all. Speaker 1 (1:49) It's not difficult at all. (1:52) Oh, I see. (1:57) Yeah, no, this is... (2:00) It's not difficult for God to do. (2:08) 22. (2:10) And the devil said, After the judgment had been issued, God had promised you the truthful promise. (2:19) And I promised you, but I broke my promise. (2:22) I had no power over you. (2:27) All I did was invite you, and you simply, you accepted my invitation. (2:32) Therefore, do not blame me and blame yourselves. (2:35) My complaining cannot help you, nor can your complaining help me. (2:40) I have disbelieved in your idolizing me. (2:43) Only the transgressors have incurred a painful retribution. (2:47) So here is Satan finally telling his constituents, I knew you were stupid to worship me, to follow me. (2:55) So, now, the people who follow him now, he points at some of them, Oh, you stupid idiots. (3:01) I tricked you. (3:03) You follow me? (3:06) 23. (3:07) As for those who believed and led a righteous life, they were admitted into gardens with flowing streams. (3:14) They abided therein forever. (3:15) In accordance with the will of their Lord, the greeting therein is peace. (3:22) Do you not see that God has cited the example of the good word as a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branch is high in the sky? (3:33) With the good word, the truth lasts. (3:36) It has basis. (3:38) It has roots. (3:41) And, 25. (3:42) It produces its crop every season, as designed by its Lord. (3:48) God does cite the examples for the people that they may take heed. (3:53) The example of the bad word is that of a bad tree chopped at the soil level. (3:58) It does not stand. (4:00) So the bad word, the falsehood, just blow in it and it falls down. (4:07) 27. (4:08) God strengthens those who believe with the proven word, in this life and in the hereafter. (4:14) And what we have is the proven word. (4:21) And God sends the transgressors astray. (4:23) God does what He wills. (4:27) They remove their families from God's protection. (4:29) Number 28. (4:31) Have you noted those who responded to God's blessings by disbelieving and thus brought disaster upon their families? (4:38) We talked earlier this afternoon about the souls being assigned to certain homes. (4:48) If the people refused to uphold God's commandments, God would assign evil souls to their houses. (5:07) Amazingly, it works both ways. (5:10) The believer will get his or her way. (5:14) But a lot of times the situation... (5:15) Pardon? (5:19) Usually, yes. (5:20) I'm trying to think. (5:27) You see, the believers get their way. (5:31) I'm looking, I'm thinking of my own parents. (5:34) My mother was a believer. (5:36) My father was not. (5:38) He was a heavy duty idol worshiper. (5:45) But you see, my mother was not actively preaching. (5:50) Not continuously. (5:51) She was not as educated as she wished to be. (5:53) But she was just telling us always, God alone, God alone. (5:59) The saints and the prophets are dead. (6:01) You must trust in God alone, nobody else. (6:04) And she kind of gave up because we all ganged up on her with my father. (6:09) So in other words, we didn't follow her. (6:12) So we ended up half the kids are believers and half are disbelievers. (6:16) I shouldn't put it this way. (6:17) Half are believers. (6:19) 50% are believers. (6:21) 10% are disbelievers. (6:24) And the rest are wishy-washy. (6:27) Sounds like we had a hundred kids, right? (6:30) We're only six. (6:32) But that's a very good proportion. (6:34) Three believers out of the six. (6:36) And two nice ones made a firm stand. (6:42) And one disbeliever. (6:44) So that's not bad. Speaker 2 (6:45) If both sides are believers, and true believers, it's not a guarantee that the children will be believers? Speaker 4 (6:53) And so these believers, so far as these believers, they can have a believing child. Speaker 1 (6:59) No one has one son that was disbelieving. (7:02) We have examples in the Quran of all kinds of religions. (7:05) Because the word guarantee is just too strong. (7:10) Generally, yes. (7:12) And in this new era, the believers will get their way. (7:16) This is a very difficult era to believe, because of the TV, the movies, the atmosphere, the society. (7:27) It's just more difficult to believe. (7:30) At the same time, it is easier to believe. (7:33) You can understand that. (7:35) There are too many distractions. (7:39) So in this new era, where the miracle is mental and everything, just God's system, things will go the way of the believers. (7:50) So inshallah, Rukhsana's kids, all of them will be believers. (7:54) They are already, inshallah. (8:03) Where were we? (8:07) Yeah, true, but they removed their families from God's protection. (8:11) There are also examples, for example, Ibrahim. (8:14) Ibrahim was God's favorite person. (8:20) But his father, his parents, I don't know about his mother, but at least his father was a disbeliever. (8:26) A real bad one. (8:29) So there are certain exceptions, at least in the past. (8:34) I was going to mention to you Carol Foreshi and her husband, for example, where the daughter works both ways. (8:45) Samina is a test for Carol and a punishment for Ihsan. (8:51) So it works both ways. (8:54) That incident caused Carol to be a stronger believer. (8:58) It caused Ihsan to be a miserable person. (9:10) 28. (9:11) Have you noted those who responded to God's blessing by disbelieving and thus brought disaster upon their families? (9:18) Hell is their destiny wherein they burn what a miserable end. (9:24) I will worship the mother of all evil. (9:27) They set up rivals to rank with God and divert others from His path. (9:31) Say, enjoy for a while. (9:32) Your final destiny is Hell. (9:35) Exhort my servants who believe to observe the contact prayers and give to charity from our provisions to them secretly and publicly before a day comes when there is neither trade nor nepotism. (9:49) God is the one who created the heavens and the earth and He sends down from the sky water to produce all kinds of fruit for your sustenance. (9:57) He has committed the ships to serve you on the sea in accordance with His command. (10:03) He has committed the rivers as well. (10:05) He has committed the sun and the moon in your service, continuously. (10:10) He has committed the night and the day to serve you. (10:14) All we can do is show our appreciation. (10:17) I worship Him alone. (10:19) Muhammad didn't do any of this. (10:21) Jesus didn't decide how long the night shall be or what season will be set in place. (10:28) God is the only one who controls the sun, the moon, and all that. (10:35) Congratulations. (10:36) God bless you. Speaker 9 (10:40) The truth of it is only God controls. Speaker 1 (10:44) Yes. Speaker 9 (10:46) Nothing else. Speaker 1 (10:48) Yes. (10:49) The sun is the truth of matter and only God controls the sun. (10:55) The sun is very obedient. (10:59) Sunrise, sunset. (11:00) Sunrise, sunset. Speaker 2 (11:03) This is what Abraham discovered, actually, is that the sun was obedient to the higher. (11:10) That's how he discovered it. Speaker 1 (11:11) Well, actually, he was ridiculing his people. (11:15) He was telling them, why don't you worship the one God? (11:19) And they said, apparently they were worshiping the sun as well. (11:23) So he was telling them, maybe this star is our God. (11:26) Let's just make fun of it, as it turns out. (11:33) Because obviously he has seen the sun, the moon, and the stars before. (11:38) And also, if you read the text, he says, oh my people, if you don't, you know, I disown your idolatry. (11:46) So there's a connection between talking about the sun, the moon, and the stars and his guidance. (11:52) Mr. Azar Shah. Speaker 4 (11:54) I was talking to my wife. (11:57) Enjoy your stay. (12:00) Because the places we rather be living in sometimes, from the day by day, it's going to be for the children, the grown-ups. (12:10) I said, OK, I don't mind sacrificing myself, for example, I know, for example, I like that area. (12:16) However, when I don't care, I don't care very much. (12:20) I care whether I'll be able to survive, I like it, I don't care about it. Speaker 1 (12:25) The whole... (12:26) Thank you, Omar. (12:28) That's so good. Speaker 4 (12:30) I'm asking to Victoria, for example, let's go to HNO2 here, because my child can grow here, and he's going to be there, pray every time. (12:39) So, what's your idea? Speaker 2 (12:43) Because, for example, I try to, all the time, I pray for my children to be, submit to God, my next generation. (12:49) I don't know if I'll be able to see them or not. Speaker 1 (12:53) You have, like I remember, I told you just a few minutes ago, you must ask him to pray with you, wherever you are, in your home. (13:00) And Vicky also tell her to do that. (13:03) Because, I look at Hany, and I know what, he prays with us just like an adult Hany does. (13:11) It's because we taught him to do that. Speaker 4 (13:13) No. (13:15) It doesn't matter. Speaker 1 (13:17) Even if you come here, teaching him at home would be the most important. (13:21) In fact. (13:23) So, you just settle wherever you make a living. (13:26) Of course, in Tucson, there's a big advantage, but we'll settle wherever we can make a living. (13:40) What I'm trying to say, what I'm trying to emphasize, is that teaching at home is very important. (13:45) So, Muhammad is not too young to make him, gradually, he will discipline himself and stand in the prayer. (13:54) At first, he will stand for only half a rak'ah, then for one rak'ah, then for two. (14:00) And eventually, he will do the whole prayer with you. (14:03) And will enjoy it. (14:04) Give him some incentives, like candy and cookies. Speaker 2 (14:09) Easy. Speaker 1 (14:11) Easy. (14:12) Yes. (14:17) And he's very hyper. Speaker 2 (14:20) But still, I feel, just for them, I'll be able to know my friends are here. (14:26) They are going to be ready to rank him in the future if they go to California. Speaker 1 (14:32) Yes. (14:32) I don't blame them. (14:33) But wherever you go, they are in God's hands. (14:35) Remember that. (14:36) If you are with God and observing this, your children are in God's hands. (14:41) You don't have to worry about them. (14:44) One more question. Speaker 2 (14:47) What is the law of the Quran about a father educating his child with the hand, for instance, on the... (15:00) No. (15:01) I didn't find anything. (15:08) Is this actually a satanic act? Speaker 1 (15:12) Yes. (15:14) Don't touch your kids. (15:16) You'll be sorry. (15:22) You'll be sorry because soon they'll grow up and they'll put you to shame every time you see them. (15:28) In the Torah... Speaker 2 (15:32) In the Torah it says the father who loves his son doesn't bear the... (15:43) How do you say it in English? Speaker 1 (15:46) Make a point. (15:50) Everybody here, make a point that you can stand someday and say, I never slapped my son or my daughter. (15:57) Never beat my son or my daughter. (16:00) And if you can repent, and you rest the past and start anew, and you can make the same claim before God. Speaker 2 (16:09) But what does it mean then in the Torah when it says that the father who loves his son doesn't spare the rod? Speaker 1 (16:18) Translate to English. (16:20) Say it in English. (16:25) Say it in our English. Speaker 2 (16:26) The father who loves his son doesn't spare the rod. Speaker 1 (16:33) That doesn't tell you to beat your kid. (16:38) It means the father who loves his son never uses the rod. (16:45) Huh? (16:46) Yeah? (16:47) So it depends on how you look at it. (16:48) I mean it's... Speaker 2 (16:51) I don't have the Bible in English. Speaker 1 (16:54) It's a satanic trick because it makes the kid hate everything that you want to promote. (17:01) If you want the kid to read the Quran and you beat them to read the Quran, they will hate the Quran. (17:05) As soon as they're out of your influence, they will curse the Quran and everything connected with it. (17:12) I've seen it. Speaker 2 (17:13) I didn't ask it from this point of view to read the Quran. (17:19) Because this is a very... Speaker 1 (17:20) No, I'm just giving an example. (17:22) If you beat the kid because you want him or her to sleep at 8 o'clock every night, they will hate 8 o'clock. (17:30) Yeah. (17:31) They will connect the beating with whatever you want to promote. Speaker 2 (17:40) Some children are committing like throwing stones through the window of the neighbor's house. Speaker 1 (17:49) Yes. Speaker 2 (17:49) And they do it repeatedly. Speaker 1 (17:51) Right. Speaker 2 (17:52) Or they steal bicycles. (17:53) I don't know what they do. (17:54) Yes. (17:55) And the father is trying to say, don't do that. (17:59) So he punishes his child for having committed disobedience and destruction. (18:11) And this is a question which is very, I would say... Speaker 1 (18:19) If a kid is behaving this way, it's the fault of the parents anyway. (18:23) They had on I think it was Oprah Oprah Winfrey's show, they had a mother and a daughter. (18:32) The daughter got pregnant when she was 15. (18:35) She dropped out of high school. (18:37) Dropped out of school and got pregnant. (18:40) And the mother was there and the daughter was there. (18:43) And Oprah Winfrey was asking, what is it that caused you to drop out of school? (18:49) And the girl said, well, I want to be with my boyfriend. (18:52) So boyfriend is more fun than school. (18:54) This kind of thing. (18:57) So then she said to the mother and said, why did your daughter turn this way? (19:05) And the mother turned to her and said, why is it that you drop out of school and go after your boyfriend and get pregnant? (19:12) Why do you do these bad things when I want you to go to school and this and that? (19:16) So the daughter looked at the mother and said, when you're never home and when you're fooling around with your boyfriend, this and that. (19:22) And that was on the show. (19:24) So what I'm saying is it's the parent's responsibility. (19:26) It's the mother setting the example for the daughter. Speaker 2 (19:30) Is there anything wrong with getting pregnant with the kids? (19:37) Maybe they got married in their way in front of God. (19:42) There's no such thing. Speaker 1 (19:48) You mean there's nothing wrong with dropping out of school at the age of 15 and getting pregnant? Speaker 2 (19:57) School is not compulsory in itself. Speaker 1 (20:08) So you think it's okay to drop out of school and go to the boyfriend and get pregnant without marriage? Speaker 2 (20:16) I didn't say that without marriage. (20:17) I said maybe with marriage. Speaker 1 (20:21) So why not get married? (20:24) You're 15 years old. Speaker 2 (20:26) Maybe they... Speaker 1 (20:28) Why marry in secret? (20:30) There's a girl 15 years old in school. (20:32) She drops out, goes to her boyfriend, and she marries him and gets pregnant. (20:36) Why not make the marriage public? Speaker 2 (20:41) What I'm saying is that, Rashad, school has time. (20:47) It's not the criteria for righteousness. (20:49) I didn't find in Quran that we have to go to school. (20:53) Maybe she was tired. Speaker 1 (20:56) You didn't read the Quran. (20:59) You didn't read the Quran. (20:59) You have to read the Quran. (21:00) We were talking about this two days ago. (21:02) The rich believer is better than the poor believer. (21:05) That's what God is saying. (21:07) What about this man? Speaker 2 (21:09) Yeah, that's the more educated that they are. Speaker 1 (21:11) Right. (21:13) In fact, I will let you read it. Speaker 2 (21:17) In many schools they are teaching, they are indoctrinating. Speaker 1 (21:26) Indoctrinating what? Speaker 2 (21:27) Well, in materialist values. Speaker 1 (21:30) So do you suggest that we cancel school? Speaker 2 (21:33) No, we can improve schools. (21:35) But if some young people drop out of school, maybe it's a reaction against that they don't agree with what they do. (21:43) The schools are under certain control, but they don't understand it. Speaker 1 (21:49) Yeah, look at page 275. (21:53) If you read for us 75 and 76, you'll appreciate it. (22:00) My fellow. (22:15) Read it out there. (22:17) You can read the Quran. (22:19) When I said you didn't read the Quran, it means you read it, but you didn't read it. Speaker 2 (22:24) Because when you make a statement like that... (22:27) I didn't make a statement, I made a question. Speaker 1 (22:30) You said that school is not important. (22:32) Or not mandatory. Speaker 2 (22:34) I didn't say that knowledge is not important. Speaker 1 (22:38) You said school is not. Speaker 2 (22:39) I said that people who drop out of school can have very good reasons for it. Speaker 1 (22:43) You can't get knowledge without school. (22:45) But I will read it. (22:47) It will take you 20 times as long if you want to educate yourself outside. (22:53) Without school. Speaker 2 (22:56) What? Speaker 1 (22:57) I've seen both. Speaker 2 (22:58) Are you trying to say that the school is a guarantee for success? Speaker 1 (23:03) I didn't say that. (23:04) The education in school is faster than education without school. Speaker 2 (23:07) That is the simplistic generalization which has nothing to do because each individual is different and there are lots of individuals... Speaker 1 (23:15) I've seen both examples. (23:16) I've seen people who go to school and people who didn't go to school. (23:19) And when you go to school and you have 15 points, you study logic and philosophy and accounting and economics and journalism. (23:29) But if you do it on your own, it's going to be 20 times as long. (23:35) You can... (23:36) I can live the experience of a hundred scholars. Speaker 2 (23:39) I agree. Speaker 1 (23:42) You can look at the research that did a lot of surveys, surveyed thousands of people and come up with a conclusion. Speaker 2 (23:49) But you see, the school is not a guarantee that you will learn the right thing. Speaker 1 (23:54) Ignorance is. Speaker 2 (23:56) But your mother, for instance, she was not that ignorant. (23:59) She wanted to, but she told you the truth. (24:02) She worshipped God alone. (24:03) You see, don't mix up things like this. (24:05) Because the fact that you are going to school is not a guarantee that you will succeed in life. (24:11) So this proves that ignorance is good. (24:15) No, I didn't say that. Speaker 1 (24:16) What are you saying? (24:17) You're saying the school doesn't guarantee happiness, therefore let us cancel schools. Speaker 2 (24:22) What I'm trying to say... (24:23) I don't want to start an argument. Speaker 1 (24:27) I'm repeating what you're saying. (24:29) You're saying school does not guarantee happiness, right? (24:32) Is that what you said? (24:33) Success? (24:35) Therefore, let us eliminate schools. Speaker 2 (24:37) No, I didn't say that. Speaker 1 (24:38) What is your conclusion? Speaker 2 (24:41) My conclusion is that we know very well that the school system today is not optimal. (24:52) Or do you think it is? Speaker 1 (24:52) Well, it's the best. (24:54) The best ever. (24:55) You think it's the best? Speaker 9 (24:55) Yes. (24:56) The best ever. Speaker 1 (24:58) The best ever. (25:00) What school do you talk about? (25:02) Any school system anywhere in the world today is better than any other time. Speaker 2 (25:06) Do you believe that sincerely? Speaker 1 (25:08) Yes, I know that. Speaker 2 (25:09) I don't want to misguide you, but there is a national emergency plan in the United States where people don't learn anything in school. (25:18) And the level of illiteracy and the level of unacceptedness has increased in the United States. (25:24) So I think it's a little bit... (25:26) Why? (25:27) Because the schools don't teach anymore as they used to. (25:32) They don't teach. (25:33) They have acquired new so-called methods which are not as good teaching methods as they used to be. (25:42) And the children are not very motivated when they go to school because there are lots of other activities that are promoted on the side. (25:56) And the role of the school today has become more of a social institution to teach young children to socialize rather than to acquire knowledge. (26:05) And they believe... Speaker 1 (26:07) Somehow Eric has taken us away from the Quran. (26:09) Is this true? (26:11) We'd like to study the Quran and not politics or school systems. (26:15) Yes, but you took up... (26:16) Our children are the most educated kids in the world. Speaker 2 (26:20) You are just knocking off this 15 or 16-year-old girl or whatever. (26:24) Just like this. (26:25) Maybe she has a very good reason. Speaker 1 (26:27) We oppose the highest moral character because God told us to do so. (26:33) If a girl gets pregnant, physiologically she's not ready to get pregnant. (26:38) It is not good for her. (26:39) To drop out of school is not good for her. (26:41) It is a bad example. (26:43) And... (26:46) It affects your behavior. (26:50) When you don't have the highest moral standard, it affects your behavior and then it affects you. Speaker 2 (26:56) Maybe this girl was a believer. Speaker 1 (26:58) Pardon? Speaker 2 (26:58) Maybe this girl was a believer. Speaker 1 (27:00) Maybe she... (27:01) No, she's not a believer. (27:02) She doesn't know anything. (27:02) She's drugged. (27:03) She's alcoholic. (27:04) She's 15-year-old. (27:06) Pregnant. (27:06) Without marriage. (27:07) How can she be a believer when she got pregnant at 15 and dropped out of school? Speaker 2 (27:11) I don't know. Speaker 1 (27:11) Tell it to her mother. (27:12) I mean, why do you think she's a believer? (27:14) Because she got pregnant? Speaker 2 (27:15) I said, maybe she is. (27:17) How do you know that she's not? (27:29) I'm trying to say that God knows but we don't know. (27:34) Let's pretend that we know. (27:35) Because God knows. Speaker 1 (27:36) So the girl that gets pregnant, drops out of school at 15 and without a girlfriend and pregnant, she has a child. (27:43) This is a criterion for a believer. (27:46) This tells us she's a believer. (27:48) Is this true? (27:49) Is this what you're saying? Speaker 11 (27:50) What are you saying? Speaker 1 (27:52) A girl that's 15 years old, drops out of school and gets pregnant and gives birth to a child out of wedlock. (27:59) This is a sign of a believer. (28:01) I didn't say that. (28:03) You said, maybe she's a believer. (28:05) I said, maybe she's a believer. (28:06) Because all the signs are there. (28:08) All the signs of a believer are there. (28:11) Right? (28:12) Why do you say that all the signs of a believer are there? (28:14) Well, this is your conclusion. (28:16) You must see science. (28:16) Maybe she's a believer. Speaker 2 (28:19) Why? (28:19) Don't put words in my mouth right now. (28:22) I'm just trying to say that what she has in her heart for whom we don't know. Speaker 1 (28:28) Well, I think you have bad influence on us, Eric. (28:30) I suggest you go back to Switzerland. (28:33) That's my suggestion. (28:35) Because your behavior reflects what you're saying. (28:38) It hasn't been very good. Speaker 2 (28:42) I'm sorry. Speaker 1 (28:43) Me too. (28:47) I know certain things you don't know. Speaker 3 (28:49) Excuse my expression. (28:50) If something happens like the believer judges from what the Quran says for what she knows that's what she knows about the rules. Speaker 1 (29:15) That's right. Speaker 3 (29:15) She is in that position from what she knows. (29:21) But from what we know and even for me as a woman I would not want to be pregnant for her. Speaker 1 (29:31) Looking from God's point of view strictly from God's point of view I don't think it's a good influence when we have here children boys and girls to hear somebody say maybe she's a believer when she got pregnant at 15 and dropped out of school and so on. (29:47) I'm very jealous when it comes to guarding our standards. Speaker 3 (29:51) But I have another question and then we can answer that. (29:56) As human beings we all have to have feelings on a daily basis. Speaker 1 (30:05) Say it again. Speaker 3 (30:13) I mean I know in our law if even a man and a woman get pregnant and want to get married after one month I mean if they have a baby and after one month they want to get married that's like in court Yes. Speaker 2 (30:32) Yes? Speaker 1 (30:38) It was conceived outside of marriage which is God's institution. (30:47) I just don't trust you talking to the believers when I'm not here. (30:52) I'm not comfortable because of your point of view. (30:56) Maybe you have some European ideas or something. (30:58) Whatever it is, I'm not comfortable when you're talking to the people and there's always some negative feedback. (31:05) So I'd appreciate it if you just visit when you're here or maybe we can just go back to the question. (31:18) Are there any other questions on this? (31:21) What were we talking about? (31:24) Are we saying that the parents set the example for the children? (31:36) Marry a man. (31:40) 19 years old. Speaker 9 (31:42) 19 years old. Speaker 11 (31:47) Mariam was 19 years old and she said no man has ever touched her. Speaker 1 (31:51) That's the Quranic lesson. (31:58) It was a good hint when it was in surah 19 and it surprises Mariam and it tells the birth of Jesus and so on. (32:07) It's a very good indication. (32:11) 15 is just even physiologically the girl is not ready. (32:17) Just because she's menstruating and so on doesn't mean the uterus is ready and emotional psychological conditions are satisfied. Speaker 9 (32:26) And the same with the boys. Speaker 6 (32:48) Yes, infant mortality. (32:52) It was a mistake. Speaker 1 (33:04) Just physiologically the boys are not ready before they're 19 or 20. Speaker 9 (33:37) Animals are better. (33:42) I have dogs at home. Speaker 12 (33:58) I don't picture any of my children running around because I don't have any dogs. Speaker 2 (34:05) That's not human nature. Speaker 12 (34:07) I've got one of them, my daughter or my son are in there. (34:12) I want them to learn. Speaker 1 (34:14) Control themselves. Speaker 3 (34:16) I send control. (34:17) This is what it's all about. (34:19) Yes. Speaker 1 (34:24) Seems like in the last 10 Quranic studies I have been reminding the parents to tell their children that they're very special. (34:32) They must learn they're very special. (34:33) They're not to behave like the commoners. (34:37) And they must not let anybody touch them in a sexual manner until their wedding night. (34:42) And so I have an appendix here entitled virginity. (34:44) So if they're too embarrassed you can just have them read the appendix. (34:50) Sometimes it's a sickly subject. (34:52) It's difficult to discuss. (34:54) But they must teach them first that their happiness in this life depends on obeying God's commandments. Speaker 3 (35:01) Well, I won't teach them. (35:02) I mean, it was a service. (35:06) It was supposed to be. (35:10) But what about the man? Speaker 2 (35:12) Right. Speaker 3 (35:12) And it was in a fashion of don't let women touch the men, you know. (35:17) And on and on. (35:18) And after he's been taken to the bar and it's ridiculous because it's men and women. Speaker 2 (35:22) And what's responsible? Speaker 3 (35:23) He doesn't care. (35:25) It's an important issue. (35:29) I'm not having to blame the doctor because the woman is so embarrassed. (35:33) The man didn't do anything. Speaker 1 (35:51) That's why I put in the headlines that it's boys and girls. (35:56) There is no double standard here. (36:03) You know, first and foremost, if a person is a believer, the children are in God's hands. (36:09) And you must have that confidence. (36:16) Just one. (36:17) Roxanne was asking the same question. (36:22) Remember, God says that in heaven you have anything you wish for, anything you want. (36:28) And the believer's heaven begins right here. (36:30) So if a believer is one parent with a believer, he or she will have what they want. (36:38) Anything that belongs to you is in God's hands. (36:43) Including your husband. (36:46) God will consult their minds in their hearts. (36:52) Husbands go from extreme, from the extremely cooperative to the extremely violent in opposition. (36:59) And even the extremely violent in opposition, they can threaten but they have no will. (37:06) The will of God is finally banned. (37:10) They can shout and threaten but they cannot do anything. (37:14) God is doing everything. (37:32) Well, it's the beginning. (37:34) The age. (37:37) I actually heard commercials on the radio and TV advocating abstinence. (37:42) Until you have the one partner that you're going to have. (37:47) I mean, this is unheard of. (37:49) Twenty years ago, it was unheard of to actually hear commercials on the radio and the TV talk about age awareness. (37:58) I'm telling you, the best way... (38:01) Exactly. (38:03) Our generation coming up. (38:08) I mean, twenty years from now, there will be twice as many people on earth who never heard of the Trinity or anything else. (38:16) And Ehsan says that this is God's way of teaching them since their parents are lax. (38:22) They're not teaching their children about homosexuality and this and that. (38:26) Their parents are so lax, so God sees to it that he's teaching them. (38:32) So now, what was... Speaker 2 (38:36) Oh, it's like... (38:40) Targon was saying... (38:40) Targon was saying, Oh, yes, yes. Speaker 1 (38:44) The cat is so weak and old and falling apart. (38:49) And Targon said, maybe she has AIDS. Speaker 9 (38:59) But that is not... Speaker 1 (39:01) That's not the point, you see. (39:02) The point is, look at the child. (39:04) It knows about AIDS. Speaker 8 (39:08) Yes. Speaker 2 (39:29) Yes. Speaker 1 (39:35) Ziba is calling about 15-20 minutes. (39:38) Where? (39:42) Where? (39:43) Here? (39:46) I was partying with Alex. (39:47) I had no awareness. (39:50) I wasn't aware of anything. Speaker 2 (39:56) Oh, yes. (39:57) Wow. Speaker 1 (40:19) There's a teacher who's a believer, right there. (40:22) A good one. (40:28) When did you meet a butcher or accountant or a doctor who's a believer? (40:33) Don't be so hard on teachers. Speaker 3 (40:35) What do we have to do? Speaker 1 (40:40) Remember, your children are in God's hands. (40:43) God will manipulate the circumstances so they will get the life they deserve. (40:54) Yes, that's it. (40:57) Very important. (41:06) I mean, we can use Hani. (41:08) Look at Hani. (41:09) As an example. (41:12) He stands with us, just like the above, and prays. (41:15) Perfect. (41:16) The only thing that Robert destroys is he makes his salam to the left. Speaker 9 (41:24) Yes. Speaker 1 (41:27) He looks at him because he's anxious to say congratulations. (41:31) So we're thinking of putting him on the other side to be the first one there. (41:42) But this really tells us that you can't teach the kids how to do the proper prayer from very early age. (41:50) It is only... Speaker 2 (41:54) Yes. Speaker 9 (42:05) He was actually listening. Speaker 11 (42:07) Yes. (42:09) He was listening to the convention. (42:13) Wow, wow. Speaker 4 (42:18) But he was listening to the conference. Speaker 1 (42:21) You know how old Nanny is? (42:24) Nanny Linda. (42:25) Ahmed Baroni. (42:27) Wow, mashallah. (42:29) What is this? (42:40) I was going to hang it in my office. (42:45) Anyway. (42:45) Nanny was running after a fly with a swastika. (42:48) Do you want to go to heaven? (42:49) Do you want to go to heaven? (42:51) Even our bums don't know this. Speaker 4 (42:56) Send them to heaven. (42:59) He's asking the little flies, do you want to go to heaven? (43:03) He was listening to the conference. Speaker 2 (43:10) He's about two. (43:13) My God. Speaker 9 (43:15) He was listening. (43:16) At the conference. Speaker 2 (43:18) Nobody told him before. Speaker 1 (43:37) The Mali's are here. (43:39) Mashallah. (43:43) What happened to the Jehovah Witnesses that came to your house? (43:52) Aisha was there. Speaker 9 (43:53) Oh, you was there. Speaker 2 (44:02) What did they do? (44:07) That's good. (44:08) Mashallah. Speaker 1 (44:26) They know the new people. (44:28) Did he ever show up again? (44:30) I don't think he's a Jehovah Witness anymore. (44:34) He came in to tell us to read the Bible. (44:37) And we ended up telling him to read the Bible. (44:41) We showed him. (44:43) He doesn't know what's in it. Speaker 2 (44:44) He has to read from door to door just like my kids do. Speaker 9 (44:48) They're getting married. Speaker 2 (44:50) From door to door, nobody will be home. Speaker 9 (44:54) Right. Speaker 2 (45:08) That gentleman he didn't go to heaven. Speaker 1 (45:13) Were you there? (45:15) Yes. (45:17) He came to tell us not to go to heaven. (45:26) He said, I have no hope. (45:29) I have no heavenly hope. (45:31) What did he say? (45:32) I have no heavenly hope. (45:35) He said, you mean you're not going to heaven? (45:36) I said, no. (45:37) He said, do you want to go to heaven? (45:38) Because we're going. (45:39) I said, no. (45:42) He said, no. (45:45) He said, no. (45:46) I said, well, wait a minute. (45:47) If you have a choice, would you like to go to heaven or not? (45:52) He said, if I have a choice, yes, but I have no hope. (45:56) So you're coming to tell us that you want to take us with you? (46:02) Yes. (46:04) You want us to cancel all our heavenly hope or what? Speaker 2 (46:12) No. Speaker 1 (46:21) Believers say you are following a crazy man. (46:25) In their privacy, this is what they say. (46:28) You're following a crazy man. (46:36) I think this happens to every one of us. (46:41) Note how they describe you and how this causes them to stray off the path. (46:53) They said, after we turn into bones and fragments, we get resurrected anew. (46:59) In other words, they do not believe in resurrection after death. (47:01) They don't believe in the hereafter. (47:03) And I want to emphasize here that 49 does not mean they say it orally. (47:10) They say it in their heart, in their mind, secretly. (47:14) Their subconscious is saying that. (47:16) This is why we need the three criteria to bring out that subconscious statement. (47:22) And I think in the new edition I'm making this clear. (47:28) They said in their subconscious, after we turn into bones and fragments, we get resurrected anew. (47:37) 50. (47:38) Say, even if you turn into rocks or iron, or a lion devours you and digests you. (47:45) Excuse me. (47:46) 51. (47:49) 51. (47:50) Actually, this is what it says. (47:52) 51. (47:52) Or any kind of creation that you deem impossible to resurrect. (47:56) This is what it means. (47:58) Somebody is eaten up by a lion and devoured. (48:00) How will you be resurrected? (48:01) This is actually what they ask. (48:04) You will be resurrected anew, because the body doesn't mean a thing. (48:07) The body is eaten up by the earth anyway, or cremated, or whatever. (48:14) They will then say, who will bring us back? (48:17) Say, the one who created you in the first place. (48:20) They will then shake their heads and say, when will that be? (48:24) Say, it may be closer than you think. (48:29) Treat each other amicably. (48:32) This is a commandment to all of us, and we have to be very careful, because this is Satan's last stand. (48:39) To borrow Custer's word. (48:42) General Custer? (48:44) Custer's last stand? (48:47) I don't know what the connection is, but this is Satan. (48:51) There's some connection there. (48:53) Tell my servants that you and I, to treat each other in the best possible manner. (48:59) For the devil will always try to drive a wedge among us. (49:03) This is his last... (49:05) You know, he failed to stop you from believing in God. (49:08) He failed to stop you from reading the Quran. (49:13) He failed to stop you from being saved. (49:16) So his last thing to do is to drive a wedge between the believers. (49:22) Because this will be a violation of God's statement that the believers are brothers and sisters. (49:29) That the believers are one family. (49:33) It's a statement that God made, and Satan wants you to contradict that statement by being averse to some other believers. (49:41) So we have to go out of our way to make it backfire on Satan. (49:46) If he tries to drive a wedge between you and another believer, you must reverse it. (49:51) It takes work. (49:59) Pardon? (50:00) 52? (50:03) The day he summons you, you will respond by praising him. (50:07) Oh, did I miss it? (50:08) Yes. (50:09) Okay. (50:10) The day he summons you, you will respond by praising him, and you will then realize that you have lasted in this life but a short while. (50:19) Really very short. (50:20) It's sufficient for the test, but it's very short. (50:25) Just think of all the years that went by so fast. (50:32) Only yesterday you were a freshman in high school. (50:38) Good like that. (50:43) Tell my servants to treat each other in the best possible manner, for the devil will always try to drive a wedge among them. (50:49) Surely the devil is man's most ardent enemy. (50:53) For if he succeeds to drive a wedge between you and your brother or sister, the believers, he can point at you and say, look, he or she is not a believer. (51:03) He doesn't have that brotherhood, sisterhood feeling that you stated. (51:08) Satan will say that. (51:11) And Satan is the biggest crybaby. (51:14) He'll just look for anything to claim you. (51:17) So don't give him a chance. (51:20) 54? (51:20) Your Lord is the best knower of you in accordance with his knowledge. (51:26) He showers you with mercy or in accordance with his knowledge he requires you. (51:33) We did not send you to be their advocate. (51:37) Your Lord is the best knower of everyone in the heavens and the earth. (51:41) In accordance with his knowledge, we preferred some prophets over others. (51:46) For example, we gave David the psalm. (51:48) We were talking about this yesterday. (51:53) Many, many people, especially secular people, they think that David wrote the psalm, which is true, but he wrote it with God's inspiration. (52:02) God gave David the psalm because he deserved it. (52:08) And I hope all of you were here when I said, for example, the five daily prayers are a gift from God. (52:14) You know the one who is doing the five prayers. (52:17) God is allowing you to do the five prayers as a gift from him because he knows you deserve that gift. (52:26) And this is proven by the prayer, Abraham's prayer. (52:30) I like to repeat this because it's very important. (52:37) Because when we do the five prayers, we do not feel like we're doing God a favor. (52:41) We should feel the other way around. (52:43) We should feel that we thank God for the favor that God gave us to make us do the five prayers. (52:50) Abraham's prayer was, please God, make me one who observes the five prayers. (52:53) Who sang that song? (53:02) Abraham said, please God, make me one who observes the five daily prayers. (53:14) We gave David the psalm. (53:16) You know, you always read the people who wrote the verses, the psalmist said this, the psalmist said that. (53:24) They called David the psalmist. (53:27) They really, you know, act and write and consider that David is the writer of the psalms. (53:35) But the psalms is one of God's scriptures. (53:37) It is all loving God, and it emanated from David, but God gave David the word to express that love. (53:57) Finally, finally. (53:59) Even if that is correct, which is not. (54:01) It is not correct. (54:03) God is the one who preferred, and he ordered us not to prefer anyone, and not to make distinction. (54:09) God preferred by necessity. (54:11) He spoke to Moses, for example. (54:12) A great honor that was not given to any other prophet. (54:17) The prophets that are honored in the Quran are the following. (54:20) Moses, Jesus, and David. (54:22) Not Muhammad, ironically. (54:24) So if you are to pinpoint who are the prophets who were honored and Abraham, excuse me. (54:31) If you are to pinpoint in the Quran who are the prophets who were honored to higher ranks by God, they were Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and David. (54:38) It is named by name. (54:41) You know what? (54:41) God made Abraham a close friend. (54:45) Consider this. (54:46) I mean, what an honor this is. (54:47) Moses by speaking to him. (54:49) Jesus by being born as a prophet. (54:55) And David, God gave him the Psalms. (54:58) He loved God so much. (54:59) He was single. (55:01) He loved the love of God. (55:03) And until today, if we want to express true love of God, we use David's words. (55:12) John was a prophet. Speaker 14 (55:13) Was he born as a prophet? (55:16) The Baptist. (55:17) Was he born as a prophet? Speaker 1 (55:19) No. (55:21) He was not born as a prophet. (55:25) But Jesus was born as a prophet. (55:27) He spoke from infancy and he said, I am a servant of God. (55:30) God gave me the scripture. (55:35) When God told Zechariah that John will be a prophet, he said, he will be a prophet after he grows up. (55:47) 56. (55:48) Say, implore whomever you claim to be God beside him. (55:52) They have no power to relieve your afflictions, nor can they prevent them. (55:57) There goes St. Jude. (56:02) St. Jude, you read the paper every day and people are thanking St. Jude for the success of the operation and for healing the disease. (56:09) Any paper, every day. Speaker 4 (56:10) It was some Jewish guy, you know. Speaker 1 (56:12) St. Jude. (56:13) Yes, St. Jude. (56:15) He probably never existed. (56:18) If he did exist, his power is dead. (56:23) Even if he is alive now, he can do nothing to heal anybody. (56:26) I don't think he went to school of medicine. (56:31) So I don't do a much better job than St. Jude. (56:34) If you have a competition, Suhaib Khalifa against St. Jude, he would do a much better job of healing. (56:43) The righteous idols worship God alone. (56:46) 57 says, even the idols that they implore, that is Hussain, Ali, Muhammad, Jesus, are seeking the ways and means towards their Lord. (56:56) Wish for his mercy and fear his retribution. (57:00) Surely the retribution of your Lord is dreadful. (57:03) We have this very well put in surah entitled The Prophets, verse 21. (57:09) They are worried about their own neck. (57:11) The prophets themselves, they want to get as close as possible to God, and they worry about their own neck. (57:22) 58, there is not a community that we will not annihilate before the day of resurrection or inflict severe retribution upon them. (57:29) This is already written down in the book. (57:33) Congratulations. (57:34) God bless you. (57:34) These are our two pages. (57:37) Lisa and Susan, there is some fantastic breakfast on the stove for you. (57:44) Get to work. (57:52) Yes, of course. (57:53) It's very good. (57:56) Should have waited until Lisa and Susan checked out. Speaker 9 (58:01) You can hear it that you have breakfast. Speaker 2 (58:08) Are there any workers who are going to work now? Speaker 1 (58:13) We're the jobless ones. Speaker 2 (58:14) I have to go. (58:19) Leave the door open now. (58:22) Everything is fine now. Speaker 4 (58:26) Leave it open. Speaker 1 (58:38) Because it follows only a number of commandments. (58:43) It refers to the commandments starting at verse 22. (58:53) From 22 to 38, a number of commandments. (58:58) God is saying this is some of the wisdom. (59:00) It's referring to just these. Speaker 2 (59:02) Since the Quran is written, do you think that this verse refers to Quran? Speaker 1 (59:09) Yes. Speaker 2 (59:10) Or does it just refer to the verse? Speaker 1 (59:13) Those verses are part of the Quran. (59:18) God says, some of the wisdom revealed to you. (59:20) Whatever God reveals is wisdom. (59:23) Hadith is not revealed from God, it's revealed from Satan. (59:26) The people have to have a choice between God's wisdom and Satan's wisdom. (59:32) And all you need to do to see how stupid Satan's wisdom is, is to open the book of Hadith and find it. (59:38) From the names of the narrators to the subjects themselves, it's really very stupid. (59:45) I mean, Satan couldn't be that stupid. (59:47) He must do it on purpose just to show God that people will follow him anyway. (59:51) Yes. Speaker 2 (59:52) Yes. (59:54) Yes. (1:00:05) Yes. (1:00:09) Oh, I see. Speaker 1 (1:00:12) I see. Speaker 2 (1:00:15) Yes. Speaker 1 (1:00:23) But you see, the Hadiths deny that Quran is wisdom at all. (1:00:27) Or part of the wisdom. (1:00:29) See, Quran is the scripture and Hadith is the wisdom. (1:00:33) Ali Izzadi, right? Speaker 3 (1:00:35) What Ali Izzadi said. (1:00:38) Pardon? (1:00:38) Pardon? (1:00:41) Oh yeah. (1:00:42) Yes. Speaker 1 (1:00:55) By the way, this didn't show up until we proclaimed that the Quran alone should be upheld. (1:01:00) Did you notice that? Speaker 2 (1:01:02) No. Speaker 1 (1:01:03) We never heard of this before. (1:01:06) Only that this message became known that they started to say Quran is... (1:01:11) It's like they made a discovery. Speaker 2 (1:01:16) Right. Speaker 1 (1:01:21) Exactly. (1:01:42) By the way, this is another idea that Ihsan developed also. (1:01:47) About when they asked what is the Salat in the Quran? (1:01:51) And Ihsan says if the Salat is described in detail, every step of it, every word you answer, everything in the Quran, which will take quite a few pages, will you follow it? (1:02:01) And the person says, of course I'll follow it. (1:02:03) He says, okay, let's take the first step in Salat. (1:02:06) It is in the Quran, in Surah 5, verse 6. (1:02:09) It says, O you who believe, when you get up for the prayer, wash your face, your arms and the elbows, wipe your hair, and wash your feet. (1:02:17) Is this what you do? (1:02:19) The old flunk. (1:02:20) Because they don't do that. (1:02:22) See? (1:02:23) God is giving you the first step in Salat, and you don't follow it. (1:02:26) So why? Speaker 6 (1:02:27) You are sitting down, yes. (1:02:30) Yes, another. (1:02:30) The only correction is what you do wrong in Salat. (1:02:33) Because Allah is already there all the time. (1:02:36) And if you are sitting down, when you ask to sit down, nobody has ever said, there is no difference. Speaker 1 (1:02:50) You know, if some Muslims were doing the morning three rakahs, and some are doing it five rakahs, and so on, then God would have said, hey, the proper number of rakahs is two. Speaker 3 (1:03:15) Yes, take your pick. (1:03:31) It's a bad thing, I mean, if it says marry more than one woman. Speaker 1 (1:03:39) You are costing the Quran. Speaker 3 (1:03:41) Yes, but if they make it without the requirement of the Quran, I mean, the Quran does say there is, I mean, you have to be doing it. (1:03:52) No, the Quran makes it almost impossible. Speaker 9 (1:03:56) Impossible, yes. Speaker 3 (1:03:59) Yes. Speaker 1 (1:04:12) This is a temporary marriage. Speaker 3 (1:04:14) Oh, they have it. (1:04:16) I mean, I saw it in my country, where they have women in Morocco, women in Saudi Arabia, then they take them to Saudi Arabia, and two years they come back, and it's acceptable. (1:04:29) I mean, I hear women in Morocco say that. Speaker 9 (1:04:35) No, no, no. Speaker 1 (1:04:37) It's a lot worse than that. (1:04:38) You don't know what Jahshan is. (1:04:40) This is prostitution. Speaker 9 (1:04:44) Right. (1:04:49) No, no, no. Speaker 1 (1:04:51) This is for one hour. (1:04:54) And this is only a few yards from the Kaaba. (1:04:59) And this man was walking with three or four girls, and he's saying zawaj al mut'a, zawaj al mut'a, temporary marriage, temporary marriage. (1:05:07) So a man will walk to him and say, I would like to marry this one. (1:05:13) And he says, for how long? (1:05:15) He says, two hours. (1:05:18) How about this one? (1:05:20) I mean, really, prostitution. (1:05:22) And people get angry, and they go to the police, and the police will say, sorry, this is the Shia principle, we cannot interfere in religious affairs. (1:05:30) As if freedom of religion is rampant in Saudi Arabia. (1:05:35) Did they divorce? (1:05:38) Yes, they divorced after one hour or two hours. (1:05:41) And you negotiate with the man. (1:05:44) This is only a few yards from the Kaaba. (1:05:45) It's really terrible. (1:05:47) But... Speaker 3 (1:05:49) Prophet Muhammad came, he makes things easy. (1:05:52) Habib is helping to make things easy for Muhammad. (1:05:55) He didn't say, no, yes. (1:05:58) I say, please, let's listen to the devil of death, and I think we can solve it. Speaker 6 (1:06:10) Yes? (1:06:13) But you were quoting the Quran when you said when hadiths find anything they want. Speaker 1 (1:06:33) Surah 68, verse 38. (1:06:36) It says they have a book in which they can find anything they want. (1:06:40) 68, 38. (1:06:43) 68? (1:06:43) 68? (1:06:45) Surah 68, verse 38. (1:06:48) Another multiple line. (1:06:57) Yes? Speaker 3 (1:07:10) What you want is not what I want. (1:07:12) So that's why we are fighting. (1:07:15) And what the other person wants is not what we want. Speaker 1 (1:07:18) They're always fighting. (1:07:19) We had a guy walk in three days ago from the Islamic Center here. (1:07:26) Saying that they are fighting so much, there's so much hatred and so much fights. (1:07:30) I'm sick and tired of it. (1:07:31) I'm looking for another place. Speaker 13 (1:07:39) Should we treat the Muslims like the criminals? (1:07:43) Very profound. (1:07:45) Can you see that? Speaker 1 (1:07:49) No. (1:07:50) They can't see it. (1:07:54) Yes? (1:07:55) This is the word that's used. (1:07:58) 35. (1:07:59) It says mujrimeen. (1:08:00) It's a very bad word in Arabic. (1:08:02) Mujrimeen, criminals. (1:08:04) They're the ones who have a book where they can find anything they want. (1:08:28) You mean you have a question? (1:08:31) I can't believe it. (1:08:34) Okay, go ahead. Speaker 2 (1:09:07) Right. Speaker 1 (1:09:08) Okay. (1:09:10) Do you know what happens before the resurrection? (1:09:16) Before resurrection. (1:09:17) Immediately before resurrection, what happens? (1:09:25) Before that, what happens? (1:09:29) It's okay. (1:09:30) You know it, but I want to bring it out. (1:09:34) Okay. (1:09:34) What happens just before resurrection? (1:09:39) Before that? (1:09:47) Look at surah 39. (1:09:50) The answer is in surah 39. (1:09:52) Azar's answer. (1:09:57) Page 466. (1:09:58) 466. (1:10:02) And we have a correction to make because of the new information that the righteous do not die. (1:10:08) The righteous do not die. (1:10:10) So 466. (1:10:13) 466. (1:10:14) You're looking at the wrong page. (1:10:16) Page 466. (1:10:21) Read it from the top. Speaker 6 (1:10:22) The holy book will open everyone in the heavens and the earth in a strong place. Speaker 1 (1:10:35) If this is your book, cross dead out and put unconscious. (1:10:40) See, she already got it. (1:10:42) Right? (1:10:43) Mashallah. (1:10:44) Happy anniversary. (1:10:50) It's also rashad. (1:10:51) Because this includes the angels also. (1:10:54) The angels also will be struck Yes. (1:10:57) It says everyone in the heavens and the earth. (1:10:59) Everyone in the heavens and the earth. Speaker 11 (1:11:01) Except Michael. Speaker 1 (1:11:05) Or Israfil. (1:11:06) The one who is blowing the notes. (1:11:12) I don't know if it's Michael or Israfil. (1:11:15) Is it Israfil? (1:11:18) It doesn't matter. (1:11:19) I think it's... (1:11:25) The one angel who blows the notes. (1:11:29) Israfil or Israfil. (1:11:32) Even the people in heaven will be not unconscious. (1:11:39) The reason I wanted to cross out dead and put unconscious is because it is the same word used when Moses was not unconscious. (1:11:47) When God manifested himself. (1:11:51) Moses said And the word used here is, if you can see it in Arabic it says The word unconscious. (1:12:02) So in this translation it's not accurate. Speaker 4 (1:12:08) It's also wrong according to our previous information this would be the third death. Speaker 1 (1:12:17) Right. (1:12:18) Exactly. (1:12:19) Exactly. (1:12:20) Also in addition to all of this, the people of the cave they were asleep, they were unconscious for 309 years and God used the word resurrection. (1:12:30) But they're waking up. (1:12:32) God used the word resurrection for our getting up every morning. (1:12:37) And if you know how Barbara Jean sleeps, it's resurrection alright. (1:12:49) Have a nice day. (1:12:51) See you InshaAllah and Friday prayers. (1:13:07) Some of the wisdom that we revealed to you it has a good point in that the people who are looking for excuse, they'll find it. (1:13:19) God puts deliberate traps in the Quran for those people. (1:13:24) I'm thinking of how to put subtitles to avoid those problems. (1:13:30) We'll see. (1:13:33) See what happens. (1:13:36) That's a long story. (1:13:39) We're going to call your son Yahya, so say, why, why? (1:13:43) Yahya Yuksel. (1:13:46) Did you expect him? (1:13:47) Did you know that? Speaker 2 (1:13:50) News travel. (1:13:52) He also. Speaker 1 (1:13:59) He loves apame so much that when she has morning sickness, he has it too. (1:14:03) I brought him from lunch the other day and he said, I vomit. (1:14:07) Honest. (1:14:09) Is this true? (1:14:12) Listen to him. (1:14:13) What did you say? (1:14:20) Explain. (1:14:24) Explain. (1:14:24) Explain. (1:14:36) Third one here, another one. (1:14:38) Okay, very nice. (1:14:39) This is a Quran. Speaker 5 (1:14:44) Shams is good? Speaker 1 (1:14:45) Yes. Speaker 5 (1:14:48) Or Shams. Speaker 8 (1:14:51) No, it's not Shams. (1:14:55) Is it Shams al-Kufar? (1:15:00) Surah 81. Speaker 1 (1:15:06) Nubat appointed angels to wake us up for the Adhan prayer. (1:15:10) And the Turks were a little nuts, for most people. (1:15:14) But for Baba, they had to knock on the door to wake him down. (1:15:18) To get him to move out of bed and walk to the door. (1:15:22) This is true. (1:15:27) The best way to wake somebody up for example, I'm sure you all did, is to put the alarm away from the bed, right? (1:15:35) If it's next to the bed, it goes, and you're moving back. Speaker 9 (1:15:38) It's like my cat's dream. Speaker 1 (1:15:42) The angels found that they have to knock on Baba's door before they're opened, or don't find out, and say, oh, okay, good morning prayer. (1:15:56) That's a lot, a lot drastic. Speaker 7 (1:15:59) He's a cat after all, right? (1:16:01) So, he's like, okay. (1:16:03) He's already awake. Speaker 2 (1:16:04) He prays fast too. Speaker 3 (1:16:07) He's just neat about that. (1:16:08) From observation when I was home, that the darkness at the end, I mean, it doesn't end. (1:16:16) I mean, he's waking up everybody, but nobody's waking up. (1:16:21) I mean, it lasts something like half an hour. Speaker 1 (1:16:24) Even in Morocco. Speaker 3 (1:16:26) In fact, they're cursing. (1:16:28) Almost, I mean. Speaker 1 (1:16:29) Putting the pillars on their ears. Speaker 3 (1:16:31) But I say, they don't do that. (1:16:33) Nobody's telling them, leave the cooking. (1:16:36) I mean, I was sitting with my mum, I say, he disturbed us so much for half an hour earlier. (1:16:41) But look at now, you need to leave him in his kitchen, and attend to God. (1:16:47) They will hear it all day long. (1:16:48) Nobody is really taking the time to pray at the end of the day. (1:16:52) Well, the evening will come. Speaker 1 (1:16:54) Where we lived back home, they built a mosque with a minaret and with big loudspeakers that were pointing right to the window of Suhaib's room. (1:17:06) And this ugly-voiced guy, you know, every day, one hour before dawn, he comes up and just raps on some nonsense, very loud. Speaker 3 (1:17:14) I mean, it's horrible. Speaker 1 (1:17:15) And usually, she's studying for, you know, school of medicine, she's up until 2 o'clock in the morning or something, and she puts her head down, and then there comes this guy. (1:17:23) They actually complained to the police about him. (1:17:26) But he won. (1:17:27) Yes. (1:17:29) It's really terrible. (1:17:31) One hour. (1:17:33) You're right. (1:17:34) They don't do it in other prayers. (1:17:35) Only in the Fajr prayers. (1:17:41) I think the people hate anything that's connected with prayer, or God, or Islam. (1:17:48) What's your question about? Speaker 7 (1:17:52) Just one more. Speaker 1 (1:17:55) I love that phrase. Speaker 7 (1:17:57) One at a time. (1:18:02) In Surah 2, verse 29, we read, He is the one who created for you everything on earth, then turned to the sky, and created seven universes therein. (1:18:14) And He is fully aware of all things. (1:18:17) And this question comes up that, in another verse, we read that everything was in masses, and then explosion happened, and there was, you know, everything was created. (1:18:28) And when I think about that, and I read this one, I'm confused that the earth was created first, and then the seven heavens. Speaker 1 (1:18:38) The provisions for every ant, horse, mouse were calculated. (1:18:44) The design was done. (1:18:45) Everything was created first. (1:18:47) The process of creation is the big thing. Speaker 7 (1:18:52) So this is just a provision that creates space. Speaker 1 (1:18:55) The earth took four days to design and calculate the provisions and everything. (1:19:05) Just the earth. (1:19:13) God created the whole universe. (1:19:16) This is in Surah 41, verse 11. Speaker 4 (1:19:21) For sure. (1:19:22) It doesn't seem in Quran this doesn't mean always at times sequence. Speaker 1 (1:19:30) As a matter of fact, there is no time sequence. (1:19:34) As God is concerned, there is no time. (1:19:36) To show us, even to teach us everything existed. Speaker 4 (1:19:40) To teach us sometimes God's time sequence. (1:19:45) There is no time sequence for God. (1:19:47) Did you hear that? Speaker 7 (1:19:50) No. Speaker 2 (1:19:53) Here, especially in verse 29, there is no time sequence because Summa means additionally He created the seven universes and He expanded them. (1:20:10) He created this and also this. Speaker 1 (1:20:12) Summa doesn't mean then doesn't mean here and then. (1:20:16) There is no time sequence for God. (1:20:18) In other words, before the seven universes were created, God knew that the earth would be created, that Adam would be born, and would move to San Francisco, and would marry Mahdi at Massachusetts. (1:20:26) God knew that. (1:20:27) So it was already created, even though there is nothing yet. (1:20:31) As far as we're concerned. (1:20:32) So there is no time sequence as far as God is concerned. Speaker 8 (1:20:35) I said maybe, for example, you build the building and you didn't finish the design, but you go first to your room and you finish this for design. Speaker 4 (1:20:49) Furniture, and go You know in your head how many rooms you're going to have, what it's going to look like. (1:20:56) In Arabic, shows time sequence. Speaker 1 (1:21:01) Usually applies to people. (1:21:05) You just believed or you believed or you went to another town so it applies to the creatures. (1:21:13) As far as God is concerned, there is no time. (1:21:16) Therefore, there is no sequence. (1:21:20) I mean, the people will be born a hundred years from now. (1:21:23) God already knows about this, so are they created yet? (1:21:29) Yes. (1:21:30) But they are not in existence yet. Speaker 4 (1:21:33) They would be here a hundred years from now. (1:21:35) As long as we're concerned. (1:21:38) Right. (1:21:39) Who said the past, future, and past and present and future doesn't exist at the same time? (1:21:44) That's why God tells us about the resurrection in the past tense, as if it's happening. Speaker 1 (1:21:48) Which is true, as far as God is concerned, it's happening, everything is done. (1:21:53) That's why when God says Satan went to hell, nobody can say is it possible that God will forgive Satan because God already tells us what happened in the future. Speaker 8 (1:22:05) But the word for English, everybody understand that way because when we say everything on earth, then turn to the sky and create seventh universe and design design seventh universe or create it. Speaker 1 (1:22:24) It doesn't matter, we shouldn't pick on these little things. (1:22:27) We shouldn't necessarily copy the rest of the heaven. Speaker 7 (1:22:31) When people ask us, we should have an answer for them. Speaker 1 (1:22:35) This is the answer. (1:22:36) Why is it relevant to you whether to ask him first or to look at him first? (1:22:44) Ask him the question. (1:22:45) Ask him the question. (1:22:47) Is it important whether Jupiter came first or the Earth came first? (1:22:51) Is it important to you? (1:22:54) But that's what God says. (1:22:55) The people who doubt in their hearts, they will ask you those questions. Speaker 7 (1:23:01) You said 41? (1:23:03) Which one? Speaker 10 (1:23:04) 4111 No. Speaker 1 (1:23:22) Same expression. (1:23:27) He used the same expression for Jesus, for example. (1:23:35) They forget that. (1:23:37) Like when they say God and His angels make salat on the Prophet. (1:23:41) Ten verses ahead of that, God and His angels make salat on the believers. (1:23:45) The same words. (1:23:50) Exactly the same words. (1:23:51) But you never hear them saying that God and His angels make salat. (1:23:55) I'm using the expression make salat, because whatever the understanding of that is, God does it for Muhammad and He does it for the believers also. (1:24:06) This is exactly 13 verses before which is a big deal. (1:24:12) 13 verses before that, God says to all you who believe. (1:24:17) It's called another expression. (1:24:22) Same words. (1:24:24) But they pick out and make it like it's exclusive for the Prophet Muhammad. Speaker 15 (1:24:32) Exactly. Speaker 1 (1:24:34) Second word out of context. (1:24:41) God used the same thing for Jesus. (1:24:43) He said When they say We sent you as mercy to the people. (1:24:50) They consider Muhammad to be the mercy. (1:24:52) But what God is saying and this is what the believers will see is that out of mercy from God He sent Muhammad or any messenger to remind the people and save them. (1:25:03) So the mercy is from God. (1:25:06) So when it comes the same word is used for Jesus. (1:25:20) Okay. (1:25:22) I don't give up. (1:25:23) Go take a nap. (1:25:26) Everybody. (1:25:31) Yes, Allah will meet at 12 today. Speaker 2 (1:25:38) The Juma, yes, excuse me. Speaker 1 (1:25:41) At 12 o'clock. (1:25:45) Great khutba today. Speaker 9 (1:25:47) Don't miss it. Speaker 1 (1:25:49) Thank you. Speaker 4 (1:25:51) Even more exciting. (1:25:55) God is here, folks. (1:25:57) MashaAllah, MashaAllah. (1:26:01) Thank God. (1:26:05) When he wakes up, it's going to be a lot of trouble. Speaker 14 (1:26:11) Ow, ow, ow. (1:26:14) I will get sick. Speaker 2 (1:26:17) You expected it. Speaker 5 (1:26:27) One, two, three, four, five. (1:26:31) You have to count the number. (1:26:33) So to make it easy, say number. (1:26:36) The verses. Speaker 2 (1:26:38) Read it. (1:26:41) But what about the instructions God told Muhammad? (1:26:44) Muhammad put this verse in this surah with this verse. Speaker 5 (1:26:48) After the one that was there. Speaker 2 (1:26:52) What about he would say put it before this. Speaker 5 (1:26:56) There were no numbers. (1:26:57) There were no numbers. (1:27:00) Do you understand? (1:27:02) How would he know what number is this? (1:27:04) Because it came to him in the sequence that came to him in surahs also it came to him in the sequence of verses. (1:27:12) When I met you first and then I met Mehdi and then I met Farhad and then I met Farivash and then I met in the sequence that I met you I know you are number one, you are number two, you are number three, you are number four. (1:27:29) Because I can count which one I met first. (1:27:32) Then if I forget the name then I can put number. (1:27:35) Yes, I know. Speaker 8 (1:27:36) That means when he said Surah Al-Mudassir he finished Surah Al-Mudassir and God said now is Surah Hamd. (1:27:44) Go to Surah Hamd but not numbers. (1:27:47) Because there are no numbers. Speaker 5 (1:27:49) He said now this is Al-Fatiha. (1:27:51) This is Surah Al-Fatiha. (1:27:52) Now it's Surah Sham. (1:27:54) When you put it in a book you're going to put this one number five. (1:27:59) This will be the fifth one. (1:28:02) Do you understand? (1:28:05) Because the first one came to him already is Surah Ikhrah. (1:28:10) And the second one was Surah Noon. (1:28:14) The third one was Surah Al-Muzammil. (1:28:17) The fourth one was Surah Al-Mudassir. (1:28:20) He said I have to stop here now and this is another Surah number four now, no verses now. (1:28:27) There's nothing called verses there's nothing called Surah, that's all he knew. (1:28:30) OK, now this is another Surah now. (1:28:32) Now he knows this is the fifth Surah. (1:28:35) OK, now has the fifth Surah finished or not? (1:28:38) He doesn't know that. (1:28:39) He believes it's there. (1:28:39) Now he will go and tell him this now is gone in Surah Al-Mudassir. (1:28:47) Then continue Surah Al-Mudassir.
