Now we come toah this is the third of the group of 10 mad suras and you have seen that started with then without any mention of now this third is again starting but there’s a difference there here to have more emphasis everything which is in the heavens and everything which is in the
Earth glorifies Allah subhah wa taala I have explained these two names of Allah subhana wa taala in connection with had now in the Surah also you shall find that conflict between hisbah andan but first of all there is a historical background and that was the Battle of B
Nazir when the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam came to Madina I told you to consolidate his position at Madina he did three things number one building of the mosque number two making brothers one of the anars other from declared as brothers and thirdly he concluded treaties with the three Jewish
Tribes which were there around Medina the B and Banu that was a treaty of Joint Defense of Madina but after the battle of Badr B they broke their treaty so they were expelled from Madina the same thing happened to Banu Naz after the Battle of they also conspired and
When their conspiracies came to surface then the prophet sallallah Alam took a step against them and laid a Siege around their you know they had sort of fortifications so but they couldn’t dare come out and fight with the Muslims and say surrendered and they were expelled
It was allowed to them you can go from Madina wherever you like and you can take whatever ever you can take with you so they took whatever wealth or things that they belong to them they took them also they themselves demolished their houses so that to take the doors or the
Windows or you know the some some word of the ceilings so these things also they wanted to take so it’s destruction with their own hands so this was the punishment that came to them but then there was Abdullah the chief of the he had instigated him that nothing doing
If you are expelled from here we shall also leave Madina with you if there is a war against you a battle against you we shall help you but at the time of when this event happened he couldn’t come to the help so his hypocrisy you know it
Cleared they are sincere neither to the Muslims nor to the non-muslims they are neither to Allah nor to human beings they are sincere only to their own self and the lower self the baser self the ID or liido and that’s all it is he that is Allah subhana wa
Ta’ala who expelled those who disbelieved from among the people of the book that is from their homes at the first Gathering of the people the first Gathering Muslims came laid a Siege and then they surrendered oh Muslims you never thought they will come out and they also thought that their
Fortresses would defend them from Allah but then Allah Came Upon him whence they could not they didn’t think from where Allah subhana wa ta’ala can attack them what was that Allah put in their hearts the Terror of Muslims this is our Allah attacks now what thing can Avil you when your hearts
Have gone and you are full of fear and Terror nothing can help you now they are demolishing and destroying their homes with their own hands and the rest of the work was done by the Muslims so take heed of this oh you who have eyes and
Sight and if Allah subhana wa tala had not prescribed for them the Exile he would have given them a very painful chastisement in in this world and for them in the Hereafter is the torment of the fire now this is the same conflict enity this because they were enemies to Allah and his
Messenger and whosoever opposes and fights against Allah Allah is very severe in punishment whatsoever palm trees you cut down because there were palm trees around their fortresses and it’s sort of you know is defense for them so the prophet allowed the Muslims to cut down some of
The palm trees so that the way to invade over their fortresses was clear then there was the criticism what type of a messenger of Allah he is he is letting people cutting down the trees they they are innocent they have done nothing to them but you know Allah is saying that
It was with the permission of Allah whatsoever palm trees you cut down or left standing upon their Roots it was by Allah’s leave and this was so that the transgressors should be humiliated and whatsoever is restored to his messenger from Allah subhah waala you made no Expedition against
Them with Cavalry or cavalry now this was a position that when there was no fighting whatever wealth the Muslims got it was if it was gima it should have been divided among all the people who took took part in that expedition but here is a new law that if there is no fighting
And without fighting Allah subhana wa ta’ala gives some wealth to the Muslims from the non-muslims then it is called Fair and this fair is not distributed it is exclusively for Allah and his messenger and his relatives and the poor among the Muslims so this is the fair you didn’t run your horses over
Them nor your camels but Allah imposes his Messengers on whomsoever he wishes and definitely Allah is powerful over everything whatsoever Allah has restored to his messenger from the people of the township now this is the law it is for Allah subhana wa tala and his messenger and all those are the kred or
The Kinsmen of theam and the orphans and the needy and The Travelers the wayers so that the wealth should not remain circulating among the rich only of you now this is a very big fundamental principle that Allah subhana wa taala has defined here the system of equitable distribution of wealth not
That the wealth is circulating among the haves the rich people only and you know it is not settling down to the lower sections of the society Allah has devised a plan through which this this wealth is distributed equitably among all the sections of the society whatsoever Allah the messenger
Gives you take it receive it and whatever he forbids abstain from it and have fear of Allah verily Allah is very severe in punishment now especially this wealth which has come to you from this Bon the first thing to be considered for this wealth to be given the poor among the
Immigrants who had come over to Madina from Makkah and they were poor who were expelled from their homes and possessions and they are seeking only only the Bounty of Allah and his and his pleasure and they are helping Allah and his messenger they’re ready to fight
They took part in in bad they took part in and so on and so forth they’re always ready they are at the call of Muhammad sallahu alaihi wasallam and whenever he calls them definitely they are the truthful so now the first right on this Mal on this
You know wealth which has come to the Muslims without fighting first right is for them and those who had their in Madina before them before the immigrants that is ansar and in faith also who had already accepted Islam before this Hijra there were so many people who had
Accepted Islam and they had entered the fold of Islam before coming to Madina of Muhammad s alhi wasallam they love those who have immigrated to them and they do not find any need in their hearts or jealousy or heartb burning in their hearts for that which was given to the immigrants they said
Okay they are brothers they are the immigrants from Madina they are poor okay if nothing is given to us no harm let them have it and they are preferring those those M over themselves although even though might have poverty with them whoever is saved from the covetousness of their
Souls only they are the prosperous or the successors and those who will come after them they will say Oh Our Lord forgive us and also our brethren who preceded Us in faith and don’t put in our hearts any ranker or hatred for those who have believed in
You oh our Lord you are verily very gracious and merciful now that was one party of thean the the KU open now the other group which was helping them instigating them didn’t you consider the conditions of those Hypocrites they were saying to those of their Brethren who were unbelievers from
Among the people of the book If you are expelled we shall also leave Madina with you and we are not going to believe and we are not going to obey anybody regarding you ever and if you are fought there is battle against you we shall definitely help
You and Allah testifies that they are liars if they are expelled they will not go out with them and if they are fought they will never help them and if at all they tried to help they will soon turn their backs and then they will not be helped oh Believers certainly you are
More Dreadful in their hearts than Allah they fear you more than Allah subhana wa taala this is because they are a people who don’t have the understanding these people the or these both of them they will never fight against you together except in fortifi townships where they themselves are
Safe or from Behind the Walls not face to face and fight men to man their enmity among them is very severe you think that they are united while their hearts are divided how can they be United Unity can be among only the sincere people whosoever is not sincere how can they be
United this is because they are a people who have no sense they are like those who a short time before were tested and the evil result they had of their conduct and this is the first tribe which was expelled just after for them is a very painful chastisement the Hypocrites are like
Satan he says to man don’t believe when he disbelieves say I am quit I’m free I have no connection with you I fear Allah who is the Lord of all the worlds so the end of both of them S as well as as well as
The that both of them will be in the fire to abide there forever forever and this is the reward of those who are evildoers now the last section of this Surah is as important as the first six ayat of Surah had and here you will find in the last three
Ayat the biggest collection of the names of Allah subhah wa ta’ala at one place in Quran 16 names at one place in three aat nowhere else you’ll find such a flower pot you know all the flowers put together in a very beautiful Manner and sequence first
Ayah oh you who believe have fear of Allah have regard for Allah Every Soul must see what it has sent for itself for tomorrow the tomorrow that is Hereafter the big tomorrow the big tomorrow which is to come what have you sent this should be your first concern everybody should always be
Seeing to it what he has sent for him for the Hereafter in the same ay again have TA of Allah keep him in your mind and heart always verily Allah is aware of what you are doing and don’t be like those who forgot Allah and then he made forget them then
Made them forget themselves those are the transgressors this Ayah is of a very important philosophical import and this is the basis of Alama bal’s philosophy of self forgetting yourself what does it mean who forgets himself who forgets his needs needs of his body his material needs who doesn’t care for his
Body and its needs and requirements so what you forget is some other existence of yours existence which is not visible your rof your spirit that is your self when I say my pen what does it mean pen is a differ another thing and I’m a different person I own this there’s a connection
Relationship of ownership of one thing by the other when I say my body who is that I who owns this body my hands my feet my head my this my that my eyes my ears my body but who is that eye who possesses this body that is the spiritual existence of
Man that is thei that is the self that is the Anna and man just forgets it he takes himself to be an animal this is the biggest tragedy of our age especially due to Darian theory of evolution now people think we are animals just just like other animals there’s no qualitative
Difference between animals and man the difference is only quantitative just as we have a horse and a donkey both are animals donkey is a coarse animal horse is a refined animal that’s all what the difference no the difference the same instincts the same something to eat something to
Drink the same sexual for procreation everything what’s the difference it’s only qualitative quantitative in the same way what’s the difference between man and chimpanzee and gorilla no it’s also a quantitative difference not qualitative difference so modern man has just taken himself to be an animal and nothing else this is the
Tragedy and there is you know in the upad Hindu scriptures a very beautiful quotation man in his ignorance identifies himself with the material sheaths which Encompass his real self real self is something within me and around this real self there are these sheets material sheets the bones
And the Flesh and then the skin you know these are the material sheets but man in his ignorance he doesn’t know the real self he thinks this is me this is I the physical body this is me man is ignorance identifies himself with the material sheets which Encompass his real
Self so this is the Ayah because it was asked by Nazir naazi albal that people say some people say you have borrowed your philosophy of the self from such and such person from such and such persons you should say what’s the source of your philosophy of self he said okay
Come tomorrow at that time and I’ll dictate to you so he say I was very happy very happy the poet of the East he will be dictating to me so when he at the appointed time he went there with a pencil and a notebook ready to write
Down albal said take out that copy of Quran so I was somewhat disappointed he has not asked me to take out any book of philosophy n or someone else what he said Quran then he said oh on in this ay don’t be like those who forget Allah and as a
Punishment Allah makes them forget themselves they have resigned from their High position of being the vice student of Allah on Earth they have taken upon them the position of an animal and nothing else the Dwellers of the fire and the Dwellers of the garden are not equal verily the Dwellers of the
Garden they are the triumphant they will be the successful had we said down this Quran on some Mountain you would have seen it humbled and split Ascender me the fear of Allah subhana wa tala and these are the similitudes for mankind that we strike so that they should Ponder they should
Reflect now this is the simile but as you know in Surah that incident has been mentioned which took place when M wasam he requested Allah subhana waala oh Allah you have blessed me with this conversation with you I had before also today you have again blessed me with the conversation one more request
Please Grant it show yourself to me I want to look at you what was the answer you won’t be able to see me but look to that mountain in front of you I will throw a light of my own on that jabble on that mountain if it can bear it and stands at
Its place then you can hope that you can see me when Allah cast down a shadow you make reflection you may call a light from his whatever we can say the mountain was broken into pieces and M although he was seeing that of Allah indirectly it was not directly on
Him but he fell down unconscious so that was the effect of the T illumination and same is the effect of the illumination of the cam of Allah the word of Allah this is word of Allah had it been sent down a Piece One Piece on a mountain that would have
Crumbled now the last three ayat as I told you the biggest flower partt of the names of Allah he is Allah there’s no God except him the knower of the seen and the Unseen he is the compassionate the merciful he is Allah there’s no God but he Al Malik is The Sovereign
Al the Holy One Assam free from all shortcomings Al Giver of Peace Al The Protector Al aiz the mighty Al jaar the compell AL the self magnified one this Tak is something bad for us but for Allah it is most befitting self magnifying self magnification of Allah
Subhana wa tala now you have eight names of Allah in one Ayah and if you add up the Ayah before it and after they will become 16 Subhan Allah and you don’t find any wow between no end all these attributes of Allah present in his personality in his person at once
Simultaneous he is Allah who is the creator Ali he is the inventor he is the fashioner of the forms to him belong all the good names now the same the words with which this Surah started that is past tense Al muar has in Arabic grammar both present and
Future so this glorification of Allah subhana wa ta’ala by everything and every person in the universe it has been going on always from ever it is being done at any moment at every moment and it will continue forever and the same two words Al Al he
Is all powerful Almighty he has all the authority there are no checks and balances on his authority Al but at the same time he is thece his authority is balanced with his wisdom now again you’ll find the same conflict between andan but in a different way and there’s a in the background an
Incident that took place this this Surah was revealed in the eighth year after Hijra just before the conquest of Makkah when the prophet had decided sallallahu alaihi wasallam to invade Makkah and he knew that the qures now don’t have the courage to face me they will surrender when we go they will
Surrender but he wanted to keep it a secret so that he should go there so that they don’t have any time to think and to call all you know their allies from there and from there and from there then there should be Bloodshed so he
Wanted to give a surprise so he kept it secret but one of the sah he was a m from makka his family was still at Makkah and he was he participated in the Battle of bad also now he thought if this battle you know is fought in Makkah maybe my family will be
Crushed maybe the kufar they take revenge on my family they are sort of hostages with them so I should do some good to the kufar to the of Makkah so that they can have some regard for me and my family and they spare my family so he wrote down a
Letter and he informed the chief of Makkah that Muhammad s Ali wasallam is planning to invade and attack Makkah this letter was given to a woman and she was carrying it to Makkah but the prophet Sall wasallam was informed by the Revelation he called Ali and two more
Companions of the Prophet Sall wasallam and he told them a woman is taking a letter to Makkah and she is at present at that place some place in between Makkah and Madina go and take it from her now they went there the woman was there Ali said give us the letter she
Said I don’t know letter I don’t have a letteri threatened we know you have a letter this has been told To Us by the prophet of Allah and if you don’t accept I will take off your clothings and I’ll search you thoroughly after this threat she opened
You know the hair locks and took out that letter out of this hair locks and presented so it was brought back at that time Omar said oh messenger of Allah allow me I should kill this what a big crime he has done the prophet said no don’t you know Omar he
Is bad he was present on the day of bad and Allah subhana wa ta’ala has forgiven those who participated in the Battle of bad all their sins former or future so no he was pardoned so this is it but Allah subhana wa taala took a very serious note what are you
Doing addresses to one but there were so manys over there the it was a class he was only representative of that class now this is that polarization which I said and unless this polarization is complete you cannot hope to succeed in the conflict it has to be very
Pure oh you who believe don’t make friends with my enemies and your enemies offering them love although they have rejected and disbelieved what has come to you from the truth they are the ones who expelled the messenger of Allah and also you and your fault was
Only this that you believe in Allah your lord had you come out from makah to make Jihad in my way why did you leave Makkah at that time you could have stayed over there this migration from Makkah was so that the whole force of the Muslims
Comes at one point so that from that base an attack on the kufar of Makkah can be launched you must have some base and there the whole Force should be gathered that was the reason why this Hijra was made compulsory compulsory so much so that it was said
That unless these Muslims who claim to be Ms but they are not making Hijra they are not immigrating to Madina you have no connection with them till they immigrate so here also if you had come out of Makkah to make Jihad in my cause and seek my pleasure you are sending them secret
Messages of love I very well know what you conceal and hide and what you reveal and say out whosoever from among you takes this attitude does this so he has stayed very far off from the right path if they overcome you they will treat you as enemies
And they will extend and stretch against you their hands and their tongues with evil they will desire that you should come back to your come back to the religion of your forefathers your relationships due to the wombs of the mother will be of no avail to you nor your
Children these things are not going to count on the day of the Resurrection Allah subhana wa ta’ala will judge between you and give his Awards and verily whatever you are doing Allah is seeing indeed there is for you an excellent example in ibraim and those who were with him is when they
Said to their people we are quit of you absolutely disconnected from you and also from Those whom you are worshiping we have rejected you and between you and us an enmity and hatred had started and it will remain Forever Until You Come to believe in Allah Allah alone so this is the conf
We read it in fat in the end this relationship of love and friendship of a moment truly believing moment can be only with the moment verily your friend and protector is only Allah and his messenger and those who have faith who have Iman except one saying of which he said to his
Father I will definitely ask for forgiveness for you although I don’t own anything about you I have No Authority about you regarding you from Allah Oh Our Lord we put our trust in you and we turn to you and to you is the final and eventual return now this was the only exception
But we have read inba that in the end ibraim Alam he declared himself away from his father also when he came to know that he is that he is a bitter enemy to Allah subhana wa tala then he said okay now there’s no relationship between you and me Oh Our
Lord don’t make us a tool of those who disbelieve tool of trial you are trying them on us allowing them to persecute us the trial is from you but at the hands of this this disbelievers so as if you have made us a tool to test these people these disbelievers and forgive
Us Oh Our Lord you are the Mighty the wise verily for you there is an example in them but this example can be followed only by whom who hopes Allah and the last day whosoever believes in Allah the same wordings were there in three preconditions you have to
Fulfill if you want to follow the model of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi here too whosoever hopes to meet Allah subhah wa ta’ala and whosoever is fearful of the day of judgment and whosoever turns away from this right path that Allah is self-sufficient and PR worthy he doesn’t need anybody
It’s just possible that Allah subhana wa taala will bring about love between you and those of them with whom you are at enmity this condition can come to an end this enmity when if they accept Islam if they change their position from that side they cross to this
Side Allah is powerful after all after a few you may say not less not more than two years after this conquest of Makkah whole of Arabia became Muslim now that enity finished because they have crossed over from disbelief to belief Allah is are powerful and Allah is forgiving and merciful
Indeed Allah doesn’t forbid you regarding those who never fought against you and who never expelled you from your houses that you be kind to them and deal with them justly this is the point that I made clear in regarding the Ayah number 13 ofat that Muslim Society Muslim state it has its own
Boundaries the member of a Muslim Society is only a Muslim full citizen of Islamic State is only a Muslim but there are two relationships of these Muslims with all the mankind what is that the same Allah created them who created us number two they are also the pry of Adam and
Eve just like us so a friendship a fraternity A brotherhood it can go on but those who are hostile who are opposing Allah the matter is different now they are your enemies you have to be very severe on them very strict very hard so this is it Allah doesn’t forbid you to have
Relations with those who never fought you against you regarding de they never expell you from your houses that you show them kindness but and you deal with them justly verily Allah likes and loves those who are Equitable Allah is forbidding you from making friendship and taking them as friends those who fought against
You de regarding your de they expel you from your homes and they helped each other supported each other in your expulsion that you become friends with them and whosoever becomes a friend with them then definitely they are the evildoers now behind this the ayat is also an
Incident at the Treaty of hudia because I told you these ayat were revealed in the eighth year when the hudia treaty was concluded it was decided that if some Muslim comes from Makkah to Madina runs away his parents or his relatives had tied him down in Chains but now somehow
He he broke the chains and come over to Madina he will have to be returned but if someone from Madina goes and joins kufar the kufar of Makkah will not return him this was one of the two unequal terms but what about women this question
Was not settled at that time and it was a sensitive issue a relationship of marriage a Muslim has migrated the wife is there and she is kaf mus is she still your wife or not or if a woman in Makkah she Embraces Islam and comes over to Madina are you bound to
Return them according to the term of the Treaty of hudia and then such a case came before the prophet he decided no the terms of hudia contract never covered women they’re exempt if a Muslim woman comes to Madina she will not be returned but there was a possibility
Maybe the mushin the enemies are sending spies in their guys so this is the instruction when some M some M woman comes over from Makkah to Madina then test her whether she is really a m or not you believe when M believing women come to you immigrating so test
Them Allah very knows whether they have IM or not and nobody can know it surely but you can guess you can judge talk to them you will come to know whether she is sincere M or not then if you conclude that they are truly believing women don’t return them to the
Unbelievers now they are not lawful for them now this woman had a husband and he is a cfir but due to her becoming a m now that this Bond of marriage has broken now she’s not lawful wife of that cfir husband at Makkah neither are these women lawful for those
Men nor are they those kufar men lawful for these Muslim women now they could say the kafir husband I paid her so much door so you return oh Muslims you pay him back okay this woman has entered Islam she’s our sister she’s with us now
You pay so much door we pay you the door and there’s no blame on you that you marry them when you pay them they do because now that husband has not divorced but there’s no need of any divorce because he is kaf and she has
Become a m so the bond of marriage is already finished so there’s no harm now you can marry her in the same way oh Muslims you don’t hold with you those women in the bond of marriage who are and still staying at Makkah and don’t hold not to the and hold not to
The ties of marriage of disbelieving women and you also ask for what door you had paid to them and let them ask demand from you what they had spent now this is you know it seems there’s some understanding between the kufar and the Muslims because the treaty was there and this is
All being done in that special environment of that treaty this is the command of and Allah subhana wa tala decides between you and commands you and Allah is all knower all wise now if any part of doors of your wives has passed away from you to the disbelievers
So so when you have your turn of Triumph you have some booty so now give some money to those whose wives have gone and they are not paying big the doers also whatsoever they had spent on those who remained back in Makkah and have fear of Allah on whom
You believe on whom you have faith and trust now now this is the subject of again we had number one inah and in the end this Bond of IM is a bond of it’s a matter of sale and purchase a Believer he sells himself and his belongings to Allah subhana tala and
The price is J but then on that basis this B was taken by the prophet Sall alhi wasallam and we have read it inah fat verily who are giving you their B who are pledging themselves to you oh Muhammad sahu alaihi wasallam actually they are giving their B to
Allah over your two hands hand of Muhammad s alaihi wasallam the hand of the person who was giving B There is a third hand also Allah’s hand is over their hands so it’s a tripartite agreement sale deed is between Allah and the believer moment but now the believer woman will spend
His life his time his money according to the command of Muhammad sah alaihi wasallam now this was the basis of this J that Muhammad wasallam established there’s a Hadi inl both from n articles of we pledged ourselves to the messenger of Allah that we shall listen to
Whatever he says number one number two obey him number three F whether it is difficult number four or easy number number five whether we feel like doing it feel inclined towards that or we have to force ourselves to do it although others might be preferred to us
We shall never say we are your old friends and old comrades old servants how come you have appointed a newcomer as a me on us no no it’s your prerogative you fix whomsoever you like and we shall not quarrel with those whom you place at the helm of Affairs regarding
Discipline but we shall give our honest opinions every all times everywhere anywhere we shall have we shall be wherever we shall be and we shall not fear that may people laugh at it what he is saying so this nine articles of bukari and Muslim both contains this
But now Quran mentions the B of men but these articles of are not given in Quran they are in the Hadi although it is regard regarding authenticity is very close to Quran regards regarding it authenticity comes very close to Quran but regarding women Allah subhah wa ta’ala has given
Them a privilege that their be the items of B are given here in a oh oh oh messenger oh Prophet when believing women come to you to pledge themselves now these are the Articles number one they will not not associated with Allah anything and they won’t steal they won’t commit
Adultery they will not kill their offspring and they will not come up with the calumny slender that they might Forge between their hands and their feet and and that they will not lastly six that they will not disobey you in whatever is right that is within the
Limits of the Sharia six articles of B for women now what was the benefit of this B the women folk also had a feeling that we belong to this party although there the active you know participation in Jihad and that was not Bing on them but a sense of belonging to a group
Belonging to a party this Jama concept of J is so important that women should also be included in that mam accept their and ask Allah forgiveness for them Allah is forgiving merciful now this is the final touch of this discussion which we have be having from this conflict final don’t make friends with
Those Allah’s W is on them on whom there is WRA of Allah subhana tala they have rejected the faith they are opposing Muhammad Ali wasallam they resisting the of of Allah on Earth don’t make friends with them these people have despaired absolutely from here after just as the believe this Believers
Despair this players who are the inmates of the graves they have despaired despaired of what they have despaired from the mercy of Allah they know we we are not going to have any Mercy or these kufar have despaired that those who are in Graves that cannot be
Resurrected these are the two ways in which this Ayah has been translated
