29 August 2017 – 07 Dhul Hijjah 1438

Surah An Naml ( االنملل سووررةة ) – Ayat 80 to 81

Ayah 80 – ( مم تسمع ووال ٱٱلمووتى تسمع ال إإنكك عاء ٱٱلص مددبرريینن وولوواا إإذذاا ٱٱلدد ) (Verily, you cannot make the dead to hear nor can you make the deaf to hear the call (i.e. benefit them and similarly the disbelievers). when they flee, turning their backs.)

§ You will find commands and confirmations given to the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) and this is teaching us a civilization cannot only command, but also give confirmations, similar to motivations. The commands to the Prophet )ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص( are to not be sad or tight in the chest, and to also have tawakul in Allah ).Theهلالج لج( confirmation is he’s on the manifest truth. It’s important to give clear instructions and not only command, but motivate as well.

§ A messenger is someone who delivers the message and moves on. For example, is there a postman who delivers the mail and waits with you? No, subhan Allah. Yet we are sitting and waiting for people to be guided, subhan Allah.

§ The messenger delivers the message and it’s up to the people if they want to ‘open’ the message or not. Do we open all the emails we receive? No. The messenger conveys the message with glad tidings and warnings. But what happens after is not upon the messenger.

§ As human beings we love to see achievement tangibly. For example we convey the message and expect the person to change immediately, and if they do we become proud of ourselves. Allah )هلالج لج( is telling the Prophet )ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص( an important fact and us as well.

§ ( إإنكك ال تسمع ٱٱلمووتى) (Verily, you cannot make the dead to hear): you cannot make a dead person to hear, who’s dead? The one whose heart is dead as a result of disbelief. How does a heart die? With sins, and as the sins accumulate, the heart becomes sick until it dies. If the heart is only being fed ‘tangible’ then it’ll die. The food of the heart is reminders. When a person is talking, it’s not the person himself who can make others hear, only Allah (هلالج لج) can make the people hear; this is His action. He knows who’s deserving to hear and who isn’t, subhan Allah. We cannot make anyone hear, especially if their heart is dead. After Ibrahim (as) completed the Bait Al Haram, Allah (هلالج لج) commanded Ibrahim (as) to announce the hajj and Allah made his message to reach the world, subhan Allah. You may say something, but Allah )هلالج لج( is able to make others in the world to hear it.

§ Who will hear? An alive and sound heart, the one that’s remembering Allah .)هلالج لج( § A person might hear but it needs to be beneficial hearing which means to listen and act. May Allah

(هلالج لج) make whatever we say to be beneficial hearing. Ameen. The Prophet )ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص( is the best to speak and convey the message, but if the heart is dead then they can’t hear.

§ ( عاء مم ٱٱلدد (ووال تسمع ٱٱلص (nor can you make the deaf to hear the call (i.e. benefit them and similarly the disbelievers),): the other group of people is they’re deaf. Their hearts are not dead, but what’s the deficiency they have? Deafness. Surah Al Anfal 20-‐24:

تسمعونن ووأأنتم عنهھ تولواا ووال ووررسولهھ هللا أأططيیعواا آآمنواا االذيین أأيیهھا يیا O you who believe! Obey Allâh and His Messenger, and turn not away from him (i.e. Messenger

Muhammad (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص while you are hearing.

يیسمعونن ال ووهھھھم سمعنا قالواا كالذيین تكونواا ووال



And be not like those who say: "We have heard," but they hear not.

وواابب شر إإنن م هللا عند االد يیعقلونن ال االذيین االبكم االص Verily! The worst of (moving) living creatures with Allâh are the deaf and the dumb, those who

understand not (i.e. the disbelievers) سمعهھم خيیراا فيیهھم هللا علم وولو هھھھم لتولواا أأسمعهھم وولو أل عرضونن وو م

Had Allah known any good in them, He would have made them hear. And if He had made them hear, they would [still] have turned away, while they were refusing.

ااستجيیبواا آآمنواا االذيین أأيیهھا يیا # سولل تحشروونن إإليیهھ ووأأنهھ قلبهھ وو االمرء بيین يیحولل هللا أأنن ووااعلمواا يیحيیيیكم لما ددعاكم إإذذاا ووللر O you who have believed, respond to Allah and to the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life. And know that Allah intervenes between a man and his heart and that to Him you will

be gathered. Whatever command comes from Allah and the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) then the person shouldn’t be rebellious, but obey. In the beginning the person could hear, but what did he do? He turned away. The one on falsehood doesn’t want to face the truth; he can’t have eye-‐contact with the truth, subhan Allah. So how does one become deaf? He hears but his heart turns away. If there was any goodness in the heart then Allah )هلالج لج( would make him hear, subhan Allah. If a person has an atom of goodness then Allah (هلالج لج) will make him hear the truth, subhan Allah. Sometimes one word can change a person, and another person would hear the same thing but it doesn’t change him, why? Because Allah (هلالج لج) knows if there’s goodness in the hearts or not. When a person rejects and doesn’t respond, then Allah )هلالج لج( will be in between the person’s heart, of course not physically. So the message will not go through to the person’s heart, astaghfar Allah. O Changer of the Hearts, keep our hearts firm on Your deen. Ameen.

§ Imagine a king sending an invitation to everyone and someone official from the king comes to deliver it, who are the successful ones? The ones who respond to the invitation, they will get more than they can imagine. But those who didn’t go will then realize what they missed it, though the letter was official, and everything was official, subhan Allah. Allah (هلالج لج) is inviting all of us to go to paradise, He’s inviting all of us to make us alive, so will we respond? The one who won’t respond is the one who’s dead and deaf.

§ ( إإذذاا وولوواا مددبرريینن) (when they flee, turning their backs.): what makes the deaf to not hear? When they

:(وولوواا ) turn while :)مددبرريینن ( giving their back. If a person is just turning away then ultimately he will face the truth at death, but where can he run away at that time? The angels will take his soul and the people will bury his body. Don’t make your submission at the time of death, make it while you’re alive, subhan Allah. If someone comes accepting and coming forward then Allah will accommodate him. If a person comes shy, then Allah will be shy from him. But if a person turns away, then Allah will turn away from him. What makes people to not listen? Dead heart, deaf and turning away. What makes people to listen? Alive hear, listening and coming forward. The more a person is doing this, the more he will listen beneficially.

Ayah 81 – ( ددىى أأنتت ووما ـ لتهھمم عنن ٱٱلعمى بہ ـ تنا يیؤؤمنن منن إإال تسمع إإنن ضل ـ سلموونن فهھمم بـٴايی م ) (Nor can you lead the blind out of their error, you can only make to hear those who believe in Our



Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), and who have submitted (themselves to Allâh in Islâm as Muslims))

§ ( لتهھمم ـ ددىى ٱٱلعمى عنن ضل ـ (ووما أأنتت بہ (Nor can you lead the blind out of their error,): ددىى) ـ (بہ means to guide. Guidance is to display the message and act upon the message. In this ayah, it’s referring to acting upon the message. The Prophet )ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص( displayed the message but he’s not the one to guide the people to act. Truth and falsehood are both are being displayed. Truth is beautiful on its own but falsehood has to be adorned, it’s up to us to choose and act. The entry for guidance is the ears and eyes, then a person thinks. Allah )هلالج لج( is telling the Prophet )ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص( he’s not the one to guide the blind, and what makes a person to be blind from the truth? Sins, astaghfar Allah. The one who follows the guidance will have a happy and guided life and the one who turns away from the guidance then he will have a hard and unhappy life and he will be resurrected blind.

Surah Ta Ha 124: أأعمى االقيیامة يیومم وونحشرهه ضنكا معيیشة لهھ فإنن ذذكريي عن رضض أأع وومن

And whoever turns away from My remembrance -‐ indeed, he will have a depressed life, and We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind."

Someone who’s sinning can’t handle facing someone who’s obedient. Our limbs will not be beneficial if they’re not taking the guidance. Our eyes will not really see if they’re not taking the guidance, our ears will not really hear if they’re not taking the guidance, subhan Allah.

§ ( سلموونن تنا فهھمم م ـ (إإنن تسمع إإال منن يیؤؤمنن بـٴايی (you can only make to hear those who believe in Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), and who have submitted (themselves to Allâh in Islâm as Muslims)): to be continued in sha’a Allah.

May Allah )هلالج لج( grant us alive and sound hearts. Ameen.
