And they give, again
they give, they establish the salah.
We have already read. And they give
zakah/justification, we have already read.
Arabic
And they obey Allah and His
messenger, we have already read.
Arabic
Soon Allah will have mercy, His mercy on
them. And surely Allah is Exalted in
Power and Wise. So Allah will have
mercy on those people who
are protecting each other
by enjoining to the people or ordering
each other which is recognized, maroof,
known and forbidding with which is
disguised. By appearance or by the book
you refer to any ayah is a marroof
known to mankind. If you read a ayat
to any man of the world, it will be
recognized. Maroof, it will be known
He knows it. Because the spirit of
Allahís ayaat. Allah has created us
and He has made us and they we
all know. We know this is the truth
. So this is maroof and known and
other things are disguised. They
may show. Not authentic. Disguised
is not authentic, known, doubtful.
So this is the behavior. If we order
this, then we are each otherís
protector. At the same time, Allah
will have mercy on us. And this is
the party of Allah. So first Allah
is a Protector, messenger is a
protector and now we believers are
the protectors to each other. And
Iíve explained to you how we can Now in
Now in this ayah, you will come to
know that there are people in
the world today, existing, that
they are involved in the holding
fast to the aulia/the protector.
Weíll discuss now. Firs t of all, Allah
says in this ayah
Arabic
Is it not the deen/the judgment exclusively
for Allah, Allah is asking a question
from mankind: that what is the
judgment in the nearness of Allah?
Arabic
Surely the judgment Deen in Arabic
, the judgment in the nearness of
Allah is Islam. And Islam means to
attain peace. Islam means - Salam
aleikum - peace be unto you. Islam
to attain peace, to have peace, to
attain peace, to acquire peace. Now
Allah says the judgment in the
nearness of Allah, we all know this.
Islam, Islam, Islam. So Allah says
Arabic
that is it not the deen/the
judgment exclusively for Allah that
we should have in our mind that any
judgment we make, how can be
exclusively for Allah only when we
take a decision on any judgment
to attain peace of Islam. There are
many, many situations in the world,
we have to take decisions in life.
And the decisions to be made in such
a manner that the resultant should
be in acquiring peace. Always.
Remember this. Based on ayahs,
based on the governing ayahs. But
the resultant should be that we
should attain peace. So Allah says,
is it not the judgment exclusively
for Allah , meaning if you will associate
anyone, any book or anything, not
attaining peace, that means you are
not taking a decision, youíre not
making Allahís judgment exclusively
to Allah, you are associating with
Allah your philosophy. So now those
who people who does so, their behavior
is mentioned in the ayahs.
Arabic
And those who hold, who take aulia/protectors
other than Allah - other than Allah
and now there are people who are
taking Aulia/protectors other than
Allah. They are not taking Allah as
a Protector. But they are taking
protectors other than Allah. One
I explained to you, those who take
protectors that is taghoot. We know
this. But here Allah is explaining
another the behavior of those people
who are taking aulia/protectors
other than Allah. Their behavior is, they say,
Arabic
We do not serve them.
except that they bring us close towards
the nearness to Allah. This is the
behavior of those people who are
taking aulia/protectors other than
Allah.. Now this is how in the world
there are people who will first of
all they will make publicity of a person
by saying that this person is the
aulia or the Wali. Because why?
Because he is near to God. Who gave
them? Who is near to Allah? Who is
near to Allah? All the messengers.
All the messengers of Allah are near
to Allah. But other than hose
messengers, of we take among
ourselves any person that this person
is near to Allah is our concoction
or our, we were that person. All
did not certify that person. Allah
did not certify that person that he
is the aulia or protector. But what
happened, people say, that these
people are near to God. And they
will bring us close to Allah. And we
serve them. We serve these people
because they are close to Allah.
Suppose they say, suppose Mohammed
Raosoolallah (pbuh) and all the
messengers are near to Allah. Right?
They are near to Allah. And these
people are holding fast to them other
than - other than Allah. They are
holding fast to Mohammed Rasoolallah
and they are saying, we do not serve
them except they will bring close to
the nearness of Allah. We are serving
them and they will make us close to God.
This purpose of taking to the Aulia is
that they will make us close to God.
But we must remember this, previous
ayat we have read out already, that
the behavior of the people who are
the protectors to each other is that
they follow the light or the essence
of the ayahs. Allah is the Protector
when we follow that, we establish
the salah, we know the behavior. If
we do not follow and we hold fast to
a name, just the name, if I say
Mohammed (pbuh), I love him, I
adore him I admire him but I do not
establish the salah I do not give
zakah, I do not do any justification,
and I love him, so Iím holding fast
to a name. You must remember this.
If you are just holding fast to a
name and doing nothing, you are just
taking him as a protector, thinking
that he will protect you. There are
so many non-Muslims, they go to
the mazar of the big names of these
people, non-Muslims and they say we
get gust (?) from there, so they are
holding fast to the name. You must
understand, Aulia when we have
read, they have got, the behavior
is that they have to perform these
duties. They have to perform the
salah, give zakah/justification, order
with the maroof which is recognized
and known and have to forbid the
disguise. This is the behavior, if
you are practically involved, if youíre
not, youíre holding fast to a name
and if youíre holding fast to a name,
they say this, we do not serve them
except they bring close to us, bring
us close to the nearness of Allah.
This is the behavior. They are
saying that they are, they will
bring close to God. Us. So Allah
says, surely Allah governs between
them in what they differ. Surely
Allah does not guide him who is a
liar, rejecter. So in other words,
the person who lies, who rejects,
who do not follow Allah, follow
means following, who just takes,
even if I hold fast to Allahís name,
and I donít follow, then Iím taking
Allah as an idol. Remember, if I do
not follow what Allah is telling us in
the ayahs, Iím holding fast to the
name of Allah if I do not follow
what the Mohammed Rasoolallah
(pbuh) is saying in the ayaats, then
Iím holding fast to the name. Holding
fast to the, remember, holding fast,
we are holding fast to the name.
We are taking aulia, there are aulia
and protector, that they will save
me if I do not do anything but I
am holding fast to the name,
Mohammed Rasoolallah, all the
righteous people in the world. Even
the good people in the world, even
the righteous people in the world
who are believers to each other,
as I explained, how can we believers
to each other. If I practice the
ayahs, if I follow the ayahs, so
and if I share it with you, and you
just listen and do not follow so you
may be holding fast to my name. So
holding fast, you must make
difference, that these people who
hold fast to a name, they say, we
are serving these people because
they will bring us close to God. They
cannot bring you close to God if
you donít follow, if you just hold
fast to the name they will not bring
you close. But their concept is such.
No matter they are good people
but this is the behavior of those people who look
Arabic
and those who take
aulia/protectors other than Allah,
who hold fast means to hold fast,
who are just stuck up, who are
holding the name or the personality
or even the good behavior of that
person or the good works and you
admire them you are infatuated, you
are in love with this person but you
do not follow So that is, you are
just holding to the name. And you
say he will bring us close to God.
Closing to God means action and
action is not doneÖyou
are holding fast. In
You see, I am explaining to you,
this is very important to understand
that if you do not follow Allah, if
you do not follow the messenger
, follow means following, if you
just hold fast to the names, so
holding fast the example of those
people who take aulia/protectors
other than Allah, means they do
not follow what Allah says in the
ayahs, they just hold fast to the
name, would be like the example of
a spider. The spider builds a house,
of this, you know, web, very, very
weaken web, thatís the house of
the, a web of the spider., the web.,
the house. The weakest of the houses
is the spiderís house. So in psychology,
if we are holding fast to a name, that
name may be a righteous person. Iím
not denying this fact. The name
may be a good person, good personality
, because of his goodness is because
he is acting on Allah and His messenger
. But a person who does not follow,
but he holds fast to that name, heís
thinking that heís secure. Heís getting
that comfort. But believe me one
day heíll come to know it is a most
weakest house heís living in. It is like
the house of a web of a spider. It
will fall down, all, everything and
youíll come, youíll realize that you
were thinking that thisÖbecause
the name will not benefit you. If
any good person ,any person who is
following Allah and His messenger
, we have to do the same. We can
admire then. Iím not asking that
you may not that we admire them
but we must follow. If we do not
follow, we are just holding on to
the name. So Allah says, if you do
so, the example of those who take
aulia/protectors other than Allah
is the like the example of a spider
who takes a house and surely the
weakest of the houses is the house
of the spider. Now this house,
physically Allah describes the house
of the spider. But Heís explaining
to us our house in the psychology.
We build a house in which we live,
we feel secure, psychologically.
And in that psychology, that house,
if youíre holding fast to a name,
other than Allah, you are holding
fast to a name, person or whoever
he may be and you donít follow Allah
His commandment, the dos and
the donts, so that name, the house
you are making is more weaker
than the house of a web, spiderís
web. So we must take lesson, that
we must be sure that what name
we are holding fast to, and are we
following or not. The most important
thing is the following. If we do
not follow, we know, we understand
the knowledge and everything,
but we donít follow, so it is, that
house you are making, building in
your mind, in psyche, is a weakest
house, the most weakest house
like a spiderís web. So Allah has
given the example to explain to
us that we cannot hold fast to a,
to those who are other than Allah.
Similarly in Surah Younis, Iíll be
describing those mpeople who
are taking for holding
fast to the names only.
In this ayah, they say that Allah
is explaining about those people
who are serving those people other
than Allah. They say, Allah says,
they cannot harm and then they
cannot profit them. They can do
nothing. They cannot harm you or
no profit you whom you are taking
aulia other than Allah. Just holding
fast to the names. They say, these
behavior of these people are, is
like, such, they say these people
are intercessors in the nearness
of Allah. Who? Previously I wrote,
I already read that ayah, in that
was, I read it again for you, that
we do not serve them, we do not
serve them except that they may
bring close - us to the nearness of
Allah. They were serving those
people because they think that
they will bring close to the nearness
of Allah. Here they are saying
they are intercessors. They will
intercede for us. Meaning they
want to live in their wrongdoings.
They do not want to amend and
follow Allah and His messenger.
They donít want to. They just remain
there as they are. And they hold
fasting to these people because
they are close to Allah and they
are doing this works. So they are
holding fast to these names and
thinking they are, will intercede.
They are the intercessors. These
are our intercessors in the nearness
of Allah. And we serve them so
they will bring us near to Allah.
This is the behavior of those people
who are rejecting and who are
not following the, following Allah
and His messenger. But holding
fast to these names. So Allah says,
say do you inform Allah with what
He know what is in the skies and
in the earth. Glory to Him. He is
High above with what they associate
in His name. So in this ayah and
the previous ayah if you link up
these ayahs, that Allah is telling
us there are behavior of the people
who reject and they say we only
serve them because they will make
us close to Allah and these are
intercessors, they will intercede
for us. They are not doing anything,
they are thinking like
this. So Allah says in
And here, Allah says, say for Allah
is the intercession altogether.
Altogether. Intercession. For Him
is the kingdom of the skies and the
earth. Then you will return towards
Him. So in this ayah Allah has
explained that the intercessor,
intercession totally is for Allah.
Who He will may give the permission
to the one but total intercession is
in the hands of Allah The people,
people who are thinking that they
will intercede for us is their imagination
. They are, Allah is saying, are you
informing Allah about your
intercessors? To Allah belong
the skies and the earth. And here
Allah says that all the intercession
is for Allah. So if we believe in such
a manner that Allah will, these
people will intercede, Allah is clearly
identifying that the total intercession
is for Allah alone and to whom He
gives permission. There is ayat in
the Quraían whom He give you
permission. But again if the
intercession is made for anybody
he will follow. He will not just
stuck up. He will not hold fast to
the name. He will follow. Thatís
the main key point. We have to
follow. We canít hold fast to the
name. And now in
The behavior of those people who are intercessing
and how people are misguided.
Now here the rejecters, those
who reject, they say to the believers,
that follow our way ÖWho is saying?
The rejecters. Those people whoa
re rejecting are saying to the
believers. What is they saying?
Follow our way. We will bear your
faults. Have you heard this before
in life? Have you hear? No? Really?
Who are those people? There are
people who, who say, you donít have
to worry. You just listen to me,
follow my way and I will take
the current. If something goes
wrong, I will bear the fault - of
your faults, of your wrongdoings.
And for this is a very easy person
who is doing wrong, itís very easy
for him. I keep on doing wrong, all
the wrong things, all the wrong that
Allah has forbidden and even I donít
establish the good things. And I
expecting the other fellow to do,
to take out my evil from me, so I
can keep on my *** and desire of
wrongdoing. So Allah says they
reject, they are the rejecters basically.
They are not the true guided people.
They are the rejecters. They say
to the believers, follow our way, we
will bear your faults and they will
not bear their faults from anything.
Surely they are liars. Allah is
exposing them, exposing those
people whoa are behaving in a
manner in the world and you can see
so many things. You know, they are
asking questions about people. People
are asking questions for the guidance.
And they say and do this and they
say certain things you
do this and you
do that. You are not following what
Allah is telling. What Allah is
saying in the ayahs, you follow
this person, follow our way and
we will bear you faults. They say,
donít worry. Whatever Iím saying
you do, no problem. You donít have
to read the Quraían. Iíve read it.
You donít have to look into it. I
have read it. I know what the
Quraían is and just follow what
I am saying. So remember, this
is very dangerous. You must read
the Quraía, you must know the
ayahs, he must know the ayaat.
He must follow it and you must
follow it. Of if he doesnít follow,
you educate. He may forget an
error, so it is both ways. We are
the protector for each other and
in this context if you Öthey will
say we will bear Öand they will not
bear the faults and Allah says they
are liars. They are lying. They can
never bear the faults of their own,
how can they bear the faults of
others? And further, they will bear
the burdens along with their own
burdens and on the Day of Judgment
they will be questioned what they
invented. They invented this kind
of philosophy that follow our way,
we will bear your faults. Follow
our way, we will bear your faults.
You donít have to bother. You keep
on doing the wrongs, you keep on
doing the mischief and the wrongs
and you do not do implement and
correct and you do not do the dos.
You do not apply the dost, you do
not do the donts, you donít express,
donít do anything, you just follow
my way. I will bear you faults.
Keep on doing. This is a very wrong
concept prevailing in the society.
So we must get educated. These
ayahs are for guidance and education
and exposing all kinds of peopleís
behavior who are stuck up in these
kinds of things. So in
Now in this ayah, Allah is explaining
that Allah does not give a task to
a soul except to her capacity, what
she earns is for her and what she
has and what she has earned is for
her. You see, there are variables
in the world. You can see, every
human being men and women, by
cultures, by colour, by intellect, by
wealth, they are divided. They are
divided - by culture, by color, by
language, theya are divided. So and
whatÖAnd by intellect. So Allah says
they, Allah does not give a task to a
soul except to her capacity. This is
the rule that Allah is telling that
Allah is giving a task to every
individual according to his own
capacity that he can take the load.
But usually people say that I am
been mostly burdened. I am mostly
burdened. As compared to otherÖ
heís leading a very easy life, other
fellow. Heís seeing other people as
leading, that leading a very easy
life but I am very much burdened,
you know, you canít even imagine.
But for Allah, Allah is saying that
Allah does not give a task to any
soul except to her capacity. What
she earns is on her and what she
has earned is on her. Meaning
whatever you do, right and wrong,
is for you. And what you are doing
and what you have already earned
is also on you. You cannot blame
onto the shaitan also. Shaitan has,
Allah has given him permission to
invite you to do wrong. He does
not have authority on you. He just
invites you and once you follow that,
the crime is yours. So you have
earned that crime so it is on you. In
this world we can easily say, this
personm because of him, I did this.
Because of him I did that. But in
the true sense, the shaitan you canít,
even then the shaitan, no? On the
Day of Judgment. Allah has already
mentioned the Quraíanic ayahs and
exposes the shaitan that we must be
careful how the shaitan works. So
when the shaitan is exposed, so
identified, heís identified and he
misguides you and if you are misguide,
you cannot say that shaitan did it,
inspired me and I did wrong. Who?
Allah has told you before only. So
what you earning, right or wrong, good
deeds or bad deeds, is on you. You
cannot take the benefit of doing good
to other people. You cannot give, you
donít give the benefit, good to other
people. I did this good because of
your own, of your own hard work and
of your own bad work. And the capacity
is, Allah does not give a task beyond
the capacity of what you are. He
gives you what you are exactly, what
you can take up the load of the burden.
You can take up the capacity what she
earnsÖThen further Allah say, how
we must pray. Our Lord, do not
catch us if we forget or we commit
a mistake. Before I read a verse where
these people are saying, you follow us
and we will hold the mistakes. We will
take the burden of your mistake. Here
Allah say, you must say to Allah.
Remember. Our Lord
Arabic
our Lord, do not
catch us if we forget and we make a
mistake Our Lord, do not load a burden
on us. Like you burden on those
from before us. So this you are saying
to who? To Allah. And these people
who are behind I read, they say we
will take put the whole, we will take
the burden of your mistakes. Previously
these people whoa are trying to
misguide people, they say, we will
take the burden of your mistakes.
But here we are asking from Allah .
O our Lord, do not catch us if we
forget or we commit a mistake. Our
Lord, do not load a burden on us like
you burden on those from before us.
O our Lord do not burden us with
what we do not have the strength with
it. Now this is the normal behavior
of a person that we say to Allah that
we do not have the strength. We do
not have the strength with it. We
have the strength but we think like
that. So Allah says Again a two
times. Surely with difficulty there
is easiness. Only with difficulty
easiness. And here it is says that
we do not have the strength. O our
Lord, do not burden us which we do
not have the strength with it. We
are saying to All that we do
not have the strength with it.
