Al-Bayan, Discourses on the Qur'an
by Javed Ahmad Ghamidi

00:00:16.851 --> 00:00:24.101
Surah Aal i Imran
Aayaat 77 to 91.

00:00:25.233 --> 00:00:28.193
Gratitude is only for God,
the Lord of the World,

00:00:28.193 --> 00:00:30.733
and may His peace and mercy
be on Muhammad, the trustworthy.

00:00:30.733 --> 00:00:33.453
I seek refuge with God
from the accursed Devil.

00:00:33.453 --> 00:00:35.563
In the Name of God, the Most Gracious,
the Ever Merciful.

00:00:35.563 --> 00:00:39.563
Ladies and Gentlemen, We are beginning
the study of Surah Aal I Imran

00:00:39.563 --> 00:00:41.703
from verse 77 in the Quran.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In the preceding verses of the Quran, 
it states that jews are mistaken

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for any special place reserved for 
them by Allah, due to which

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they consider themselves superior 
to others.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And that the jews are wrong in saying 
that God has kept them free

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of any responsibility as compared to 
the Ishmaelites.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Quran, addressing the jews clarified 
that any rank given by Allah is only for

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
those who fulfills the covenant, and act 
in accordance with the covenant

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
at any cost; the Quran interprets it as 
Taqwa (fear of God).

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Those who will act like this will be pious
and devout, and God loves to be friends

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with the pious people. Those who disregard
the promise to Allah or cross the limit

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
shamelessly claim to be God fearing 
and pious people.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They are just living in their imaginations
and have no relevance.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is what was stated in the preceding 
verses of the Quran.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Innallazeena yashtaroona bi aahdilleahi

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Indeed, those who trade Allah’s covenant 
and their oaths for a fleeting gain.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In the earlier verse, it was mentioned 
that who are the pious

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and God fearing people…

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now, the Quran states that those 
who trade Allah’s covenant and

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
their oaths for a fleeting gain.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What is intended from this covenant?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It is evident that it is with regard to 
covenant asked from jews in relation

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to God’s Shariah (Islamic Law) and the 
advent of the Prophet (pbuh).

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And with respect to the oaths; it is 
mentioned in context to the oaths

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
by the jews to the Prophets and in specific
to help and support Prophet (pbuh).

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
These oaths will be explicitly stated 
in verse 81,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we will learn about them when we 
read, as to what oaths did they take.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Innallazeena yashtaroona bi aahdilleahi 
va aymeanihim samanan kaaleelan

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Indeed, those who trade Allah’s covenant 
and their oaths for a fleeting gain.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Quran stated that, they think of 
themselves as beloved to God,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
while trading Allah’s covenant and 
oaths for fleeting gains.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
uleaika lea haalaakaa lahum feel eahıraati

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
No matter how religiously they present 
themselves, and think that they are

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
superior to others, they will have no 
share in the Hereafter.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Those who keep Allah’s covenant and 
oaths, the ones who have honest affairs

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and act in accordance with the law 
of religion.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They are the ones who have a share 
in the Hereafter.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
uleaika lea haalaakaa lahum feel eahıraati

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The misconception that the jews have 
that they are the beloved people of God

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and that they will be specially treated…

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In Fact there is no doubt that jews are 
a special group of people

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as is stated in the Quran. Jews were 
chosen by God, given a rank

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and responsibility. Even after all this 
the Quran states that the rank given

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to the jews was based on merit, it 
was given with a purpose and

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
has its own limitations. However, it is 
not like; jews will forever enjoy the rank

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and its status - whereas do no good to 
the responsibility delegated to them.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There is no possibility of it. uleaika lea
haalaakaa lahum feel eahıraati

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they are the ones who will have no share 
in the Hereafter.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
va lea yukallimuhumulleahu Allah will 
not speak to them

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on the Day of resurrection.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They are the ones who are rejected 
in the court of Allah…

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In reality this is the outcome of 
Laanath (Driven out of Gods mercy).

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In our terminology Laanat is used as 
an abusive term,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but it actually means to drive out 
someone from Gods mercy.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yukallimuhumulleahu Allah will not 
speak to them on the

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Day of resurrection va lea yanzuru 
ilayhim yavmal kıyeamati and

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
God will not look at them with kindness 
on the Day of Resurrection.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Like you say, God will not even like to 
see them or look at them with kindness.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
va lea yuzakkeehim And God will not 
exonerate them of their sins

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
va lahum aazeabun aleem and for 
them there is a painful torment.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As the Quran states that they will not 
be exonerated of their sins.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What is the meaning of it?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It means that they have committed grave 
offences for which there is little scope

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of punishment and reward.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It is evident from the verse that when 
the sins are so grave…

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
May Allah guide us towards good, so that 
every Muslim may enter the paradise

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in the very first instance.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
From this verse we understand that there 
can be certain transgressions that

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
are beyond the scope of punishment 
and reward.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If an individual can not rectify his 
offenses through good deeds,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Allah removes the remnants of any 
wrongdoing by a punishment,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because it is necessary to enter heaven 
unpolluted. Quran mentioned that

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they will not even ascertain this 
chastity.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
va lahum aazeabun aleem for them 
there is a painful torment.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It is evident from this verse that, 
how big a sin it is?


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to break Allah’s Covenant, willingly 
deny the truth and oaths with Allah.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is the level of this wrongdoing in 
respect of the Prophet (pbuh) and

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it is no else an offense in any other 
circumstances.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Quran has explicitly detailed it out.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Quran has made an analogy in the 
last two verses and stated that,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in normal circumstances the jews 
degraded themselves,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that is the reason here in case they 
came to a point of Allah’s covenant

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and their oaths for a fleeting gain.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Therefore, morality among people can 
have Allah’s mercy and kindness,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
if these people will have good intentions,
true faith in God,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
try to be a devout Muslim and not deny 
the truth by God,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but commited certains other offences.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In that case, a glad tiding was received 
that Allah would warn and punish them

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but eventually wash them of their 
transgressions.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And then they can enter into heaven.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is what has been explained in 
the Hadiths.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is the real crux, but many-a-times 
the narrators try to portray

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this in a very different style, which 
changes its real meaning.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is what the Quran has explained.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Quran states that Va inna minhum la
fareekaan yalvoona alsinatahum bil kiteabi

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And most surely there is a party of them 
(people of the Book)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
who distort the Book with their tongues 
that you may consider it to be of the Book

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
li taahsaboohu minal kiteabi va mea 
huva minal kiteab(kiteabi)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you may think it is from the book, but it 
is not from the book.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Just imagine to what extent people 
can go.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you try to connect it with the previous
verses,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you will understand that these words 
carry extreme displeasure and

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
hate from Allah towards these people.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
How Allah gave them a status and 
treated them accordingly…

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
indeed they deserved this punishment.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As Allah explains, that neither he would 
look down on them with kindness,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
nor speak to them.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Infact Allah mentions that he will not 
even purify them of their sins

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so that they could enter heaven.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They will live in this torment forever.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you try to understand their status,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I even gave an example to help you 
understand that when the

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
wives of the Prophet (pbuh) were chosen 
for this status,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it was explicitly made clear that now 
their reward and

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
punishment both are doubled,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
i.e., when you are chosen for a position 
and you decide to take up the charge,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
then you must be ready to take up the 
responsibilities that may arise.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Quran says:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There are some among them…

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Its is obvious that is related to 
the interpretation that if they

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
want to save themselves from 
responsibilities

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of the covenants of God, then how do 
they distort the Book?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There are two aspects of it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One you alter the book and its meaning.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The other aspect is that, since majority 
of the people are illiterate,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
therefore, you distort the book with 
mere tongues and

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
change the meaning of the verse 
in its entirety,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
i.e., you did not alter the words but 
distorted the meaning with your tongue,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that is what has been mentioned here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There are people who…

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
yalvoona alsinatahum bil kiteabi

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There are some among them who 
distort the Book with their tongues

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
li taahsaboohu minal kiteabi to make 
you think this ˹distortion˺

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is from the Book va mea huva minal 
kiteab but it is not what the Book says.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
va yakooloona hu va min indilleahi that 
you may consider it to be

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of the Book from God,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
va mea huva min indilleah even though 
it is not from God.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
va yakooloona aalealleahil kaziba va 
hum yaa’lamoon(yaa’lamoona

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And they speak untruth about Allah 
while they know.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The crime that has been mentioned here 
has been perpetrated

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
by both jews and christians. In the 
earlier chapter of Al-Bakara,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it was detailed out how jews and 
christains alters the meaning

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of the word MARWA with their tongues.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The word “Marwa” was used when 
Prophet Abraham (pbuh) was asked

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to sacrifice Prophet Ismael, his son.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Apart from other alterations to this 
incident of sacrifice not only did the jews

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
add the name of Prophet Isaac but also 
ruined the pronunciation of the word Marwa.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, this is the type of alteration that has 
been mentioned here in this verse,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
​​that you alter the meaning of a word in 
order to divert people's attention

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to a different topic while concealing the 
real meaning. In order to conceal

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the fact that Prophet Abraham (pbuh) 
came to Arab,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
build the house of God, his lineage was 
floriesed in the soil and also

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
about the incident of Ismael’s 
sacrifice, therefore,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
anticipating the outcomes of how it
could relate to the advent of Prophet (pbuh),

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
jews manipulated the word Marwa.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is an example of how they concealed 
the facts in history,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so as to disassociate the relation of 
Prophet Abraham with the house of God.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is just an example that 
I have quoted…

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is what has been explained here…

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It is explained that even in the case 
of the Prophet (pbuh),

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
when they are unfair, they can go 
down to any level.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
People used to go to the 
Prophet (pbuh)...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
when the Quran repeatedly mentioned 
about the foretelling,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
people used to go to the Prophet (pbuh) 
and

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
ask him about the foretelling mentioned 
in the Quran.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is how the Quran has captured the 
scene of what their

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
religious leaders used to do.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is what has been mentioned 
in the Quran,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that they would distort the real facts 
and alter the meaning of it,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to convey it as the book of God, but 
it is not from the book.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They would give you and impression, 
that it is from the book of God,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
when it is not. The Quran stated: 
Mea keana li basharin an

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
yu’tiyahulleahul kiteaba val hukma 
van nubuvvata summa yakoola

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
lin neasi koonoo ıbeadan lee min 
doonilleahi It is not appropriate

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for someone who Allah has blessed 
with the Scripture, wisdom,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and prophethood to say to people,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“Worship me instead of Allah.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
yu’tiyahulleahul kiteaba val hukma

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It is not appropriate for someone who 
Allah has blessed with his command,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
wan nubuvvata and bestow him with 
prophethood summa yakoola

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
lin neasi koonoo ıbeadan lee min 
doonilleahi “Worship me instead of Allah.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
How is it possible? Since, Christians are 
addressed in this verse,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
How is it possible that God send down 
his book to the Christians,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and guided them as to decide in the 
religious matter in accordance

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with the book of God and even appointed 
from them for the status of prophethood.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And instead of inviting people to worship 
God, how could they propagate

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
their own worship instead? 
How is it possible?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
God says, it cannot be. Christian cannot 
say: koonoo ıbeadan lee min doonilleahi

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Be servants to me apart from Allah, 
No!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
va leakin koonoo raabbeaniyyeena bi mea 
kuntum tuaallimoonal kiteaba

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but rather say “be Godly servants”.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Why would he (christian) ask you to 
be his servant, rather he would ask you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to be raabbeani (Godly servants).

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The word raabbeani means worshipper 
of God (Godly servants).

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Same is the meaning of Maulvi in 
our society.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It is indeed a beautiful word, but a 
wrong interpretation

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
leads us to this place.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Infact, we learn from the Quran that the 
religious scholars of christians were

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
reffered to as “Rabbanni”.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Like we use the term “Mualivi” for our 
religious leaders,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
its roots are in the word “Maula”.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Similarly, Rabbani word in rooted in 
the word “Rab”.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, this word was used in context of 
worshipper of God, Godly servants.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Quran say: This is what the Prophet 
would preach.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Quran also mentions that the Prophet 
would never mention as

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to a specific number of people to 
become Maulvi (religious scholar) or

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Rabbani (worshipper of God). He would 
invite everyone to worship God.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
bi mea kuntum tuaallimoonal kiteaba 
but [instead, he would say],

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Be pious scholars of the Lord because 
of what you have taught

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of the Scripture and because of what 
you have studied."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
va bimea kuntum tadrusoon


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but he will surely say, “Be sincere 
worshippers of Allah,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because you teach the Book and 
you preach from it.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Va lea ya’murakum an tattahizool 
maleaikata van nabiyyeena arbeabea

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And he would never ask you to take angels 
and prophets as lords.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He would never ask you. he would never 
ask you to take angels and

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
prophets as lords. a ya’murukum bil kufri 
baa’da iz antum muslimoon

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Would he ask you to disbelieve after 
you have submitted?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Quran, while addressing the common 
sense of jews, christians and

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
even quraish of mecca, rather everyone 
made aware of the fact that the Prophets

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
only call to Iman which commands 
worshiping Allah Alone without partners.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And if you ever come across something 
like this,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
never accept it to be from a legitimate 
source.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
After going through something like this, 
you must be well aware that

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this is nothing but the alteration of the
meaning and verses

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
by people who went astray.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
No Prophet can invite you to this 
sort of religion.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Look how there is an assay-balance 
explained in the Quran.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The one who hasthe book of God, the 
one who has been blessed with

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the abilities to better comprehend and 
decide on religious matters in

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
accordance with the book of God.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The one who would be stationed at the 
position of prophethood.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What would he say to the people?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He would always guide people that invite 
them to the right path

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of Tawhid (oneness of God). Only Tawhid, 
nothing more than that.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He would never ask people to submit 
and worship him instead of God.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He would never boast about himself.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The one having the knowledge of the 
book would never exaggerate

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and boast about the angels 
and Prophets.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He would only invite you to say one thing 
and that tawheed, the Oneness of God.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Allah says in the Quran, If you come 
across anything that is contrary

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to the oneness of God, then that is not 
from God, but fabrication of the message.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It is not possible that after inviting you
to Islam and the oneness of God,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the prophet word then ask you to 
make partners with God.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It does not possible that the Prophet 
would first invite you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to the religion of God that is Islam and 
then asked you to worship him instead.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It is not possible that first the Prophet 
(pbuh) would invite you to

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the oneness of God and then ask you 
to worship him.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This was the equilibrium that was put 
forth to the jews,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
if you read Torah, Bible even today, 
you will find them supporting

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the oneness of God in entirety.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You can better comprehend this 
statement which is explained

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
here in context, only when you will 
understand that since,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you have the books of your Prophets 
with you. Do you ever see that

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the Prophet is inviting people to 
worship him?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Or give the status of God to someone?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then how do you believe in it? if Jesus 
himself propagated the Oneness of God,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
stressed on Iman and good deeds, 
and make this as a foundation

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of invitation towards the right path.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Even after thousands of years Torah,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
revealed by Prophet Moses (pbuh) 
preachers the same facts

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
about the Oneness of God, how is it 
possible than

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
when the religious scholars try to 
explain the preaching

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of the book of God, how can they ask people
to worship the Prophet (pbuh) instead of God?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is what has been stressed over 
here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Is it possible that first the Prophet 
(pbuh) would work hard all his life

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to invite people to the religion Islam and
then ask them to submit to him

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and worship him instead?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It is not possible, When you analyze two 
aspects of it, one what the Prophet (pbuh)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
taught us and second what is being done 
after the Prophet (pbuh),

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you will gain a deeper understanding 
of it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is what is being explained 
over here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is what is being stated in the Quran:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a ya’murukum bil kufri baa’da iz antum 
muslimoon,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the Prophet (pbuh) invited people towards 
the religion of Islam,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
towards the onesness of God.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Even today this invitation towards the 
right path is clearly stated

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in the book of God. Then did the Prophet 
(pbuh) proclaim that he has

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
attained Godly powers, or there are 
some attributes of God

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that are manifested in him?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Did the Prophet (pbuh) ever announce 
that he has received the divine powers?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When did the Prophet (pbuh) ever say 
something like this that you are saying

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to people after He is gone?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is what has been mentioned 
in the Quran.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You will better comprehend this when 
you will compare the

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
meaning of the word muslimoon with 
ya’murukum bil kufri.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
How is it possible? When the Prophet 
(pbuh) himself proclaimed

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
about the oneness of God and stood 
by it throughout His life.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
How is it possible that He might have 
said something of this sort,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that you claim the Prophet (pbuh) has 
mentioned about his own divinity.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
How is it possible that the Prophet (pbuh)
first presented himself

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as the servant of God and preached 
about Iman and Tawhiid,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as in accordance with the verses of 
the Quran.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And then in no time we came to 
know different stories of a completely

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
different perspective about the Prophet 
(pbuh) attaining the virtue of divinity.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
While inviting people to Islam, was the 
Prophet (pbuh) asking people

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to unbelief after they became Muslim.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is what has been mentioned in this 
term a ya’murukum bil kufri baa’da

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
iz antum muslimoon Would he ask you 
to disbelieve after you have submitted?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Messenger of Allah can never do 
something like this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Prophet (pbuh) only invites people 
to Tawhiid and preaches about

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the oneness of God till the end.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Va iz ahaazaalleahu meeseakaan nabiyyeena

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[O Prophet! Remind them of the time] 
When Allah took the Covenant

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from them regarding the prophets.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Va iz ahaazaalleahu meeseakaan 
nabiyyeena

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When Allah took the Covenant from 
them regarding the prophets.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What was the Covenant? lamea eataytukum 
min kiteabin va hikmatin.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Allah says in the Quran that: I have 
given you the Shariyat (Islamic Laws)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the Wisdom. summa ceaakum 
rasoolun

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
then a Rasul (Messenger) comes to you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Allah took the Covenant from them 
regarding the prophets,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and reminded them of who they are, 
giving them the Book and the Wisdom.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In other words, after explaining all the 
content, Allah mentions that

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he has given them his religion, 
i.e., Islam.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There was a possibility of deviating 
from the right path only when there

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
would have been no clear guidance 
from God.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As the Quran says: It is possible that 
someone might not have

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
received God’s guidance or the book, 
and in that case

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
if there is any misunderstanding.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Here it is introduced in a way, that when 
Allah took the Covenant from you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
regarding the Prophets, and raised 
you as a Umma.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Do you remember what you were bestowed 
upon from God?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He gave you the light of his religion…

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Quran has mentioned a lot of places 
that the religion is composed

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of only two things, one Shariyat (Islamic 
Laws) and Hikmmat (wisdom).

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What does wisdom mean?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Wisdom is to do with faith and morality.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In philosophical terminology you interpret
it as metaphysics and ethics.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In reality the religion is to do with both
metaphysics and ethics,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and serve as the foundation for developing
laws. And those laws are known as Shariyat

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Quran states that: you were given 
both the Shariyat and the Wisdom

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and then you were asked to take 
an oath.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
summa jeaakum rasoolun,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
if a Rasul (Messenger) comes to you 
musaaddikun limea maaakum

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a Rasul (Messenger) comes to you 
confirming that which is

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with you (Shariyat, Wisdom that 
Allah had given to you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the predictions about the coming 
of a Prophet) and comes to you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
confirming that then what would 
you do?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
la tu’minunna bihee you must definitely 
believe in him va la taansurunnahu

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and you must definitely help him.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Therefore, this was the covenant that 
Allah took from the Israelites.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Though ordinary words are used in this 
covenant viz; when

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a Rasul (Messenger) comes, it is amply 
clear that it is pointing out towards

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the Prophet (pbuh).

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In Fact they were part of this covenant 
even in the times of other prophets

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that used to come to them.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But this was a special oath in relation 
to the Prophet (pbuh),

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as is mentioned in their books that he 
would not bring about

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a new religion all together, but confirm 
the relation that is already in practice.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It is your own problem that you denied 
something that was already present

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the Prophet (pbuh) was only 
confirming about the religion

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that was already with you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You took up the heavy responsibility 
of that Covenant,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but when you had to confirm.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You denied having any such oath and 
did not confirm.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It is a crime.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As Jesus says: the bridegrooms wait 
for their brides throughout the night

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and when the time is near, they 
do not wait.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This responsibility was shouldered 
by you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Allah says, [remind them] Allah took 
the Covenant about the Prophets,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the covenant was that whenever 
any of God’s Prophet would

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
come musaaddikun limea maaakum 
a Rasul (Messenger) would come to you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
confirming about what is already with 
you (Shariyat, Wisdom that Allah had

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
given to you and the predictions about 
the coming of a Prophet in Torah

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and Bible) and comes to you confirming 
that must definitely believe in him,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you must definitely help him.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Kala a aakraartum va ahaaztum aalea 
zealikum ısree Allah said:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“Do you agree and accept (My Oath)”? To 
understand this verse,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we should consult Bible and Torah.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Whenever these covenants were 
taken from them,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
every time they were asked to confirm, 
you will transfer this knowledge

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to you next generation and spread the 
word among people.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Prophet Moses (pbuh) used to take this 
oath with due planning.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Allah asked: Kaalu, and what did your 
ancestors answer to that?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Aakraarnea (They) said: “We agree”.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
keala fashhadoo Then bear witness va ana 
maaakum minash sheahideen (Allah) said:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
“Then bear witness and I am of the bearers
of witness with you”.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fa man tavallea baa’da zealika fa uleaika 
humul feasikoon Whoever therefore

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
turns back after this (denies the Messenger
that will come after the Prophets),

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they are the Fâsiqûn (those who are not 
in the Way of Allah or

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
have gone out of it, transgressors).

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Allah reminds them of this is how, they 
were asked to asked

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to follow the Prophet (pbuh) and help 
him in his cause of religion.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This covenant was taken in relation to 
all the Prophets of God,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but here in case the Quran is pointing 
out towards Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I reiterate what i mentioned earlier, these
words Fa man tavallea baa’da zealika

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that even after this, if someone turns 
back after this (denies the Messenger

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that will come after the Prophets) then 
there is no doubt that they

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
are the Fasiqun (those who are not in 
the Way of Allah or transgressors).

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The meaning of Fasiqun in the Quranic 
terminology is disobedient.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Even after making it clear and taking the
Covenant from them regarding the Prophets.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Even then you are hell bent towards 
this attitude...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you read Bible you will come to know 
that the Israelites leaders are assembled

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in a place and different group of people 
join them,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they are all assembled in a place of 
worship, Prophet Moses (pbuh)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
first explained the oath well and only 
after that took their consent.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He Instructed them to bear witness and 
know the consequences of this life

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the hereafter if any one of them 
turns their back to the covenant.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Covenant about the rewards and 
punishments from Allah,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
about Shariah and Prophets are taken in 
the same way.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What a state of remorse it is for the 
Israelites that Allah reminds them

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
how he took oath from them and still 
you are denying that covenant.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A fa gaayra deenilleahi yabgoona.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Allah says in the Quran: Prophets used to 
come in the same way;

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the way in which they have covenants 
with Allah.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Prophet (pbuh) came in the same 
way as well.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Prophets came to fulfill those covenants 
that you promised to Allah.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Allah says: since they came with the same 
message and religion,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
then are they looking for some new 
religion altogether?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Are they denying it? Now the oneness 
of God,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the same truth, book and wisdom.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You shouldn't have had a speck 
of doubt in it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now are you denying it and looking for 
a different religion than Islam?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
va lahoo aslama man fees sameaveati 
val aardı

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and to Him submit whoever is in the 
heavens and in the earth,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
taav’aan va karhan willingly 
and unwillingly,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they are bound by his commands, are 
obedient and

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
are bowed down before God.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
va ilayhi yurcaoon and to Him shall they 
be returned.
