Kind: captions Language: en for [Music] forman. [Music] In the name of Allah, the compassion, the merciful, all praise is due to Allah. And may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon his prophet Muhammad, his family, his companions, and his followers all until the day of reckoning. I welcome you to this new episode and lesson from the series of Taps level four at Zed Academy. And today we are having surah and this is revealed before alra. So it's a mecca surah in this allahawel after. So these are six ayas or verses from the glorious Quran in which Allah says say oh disbelievers I do not worship what you worship and you do not worship what I worship. I have never woripped what you worship and you do not worship what I worship for you is your religion and for me is my religion. The reasons for revelation is that some of Quraysh including some heads of them like Albuya ali Abu Jah and others of their like said, "Oh Muhammad, follow our religion and we will follow your religion. worship our gods for one year and we worship your god for one year and uh the prophetam said Allah forbid that we should associate anything with him then this surah was revealed disavowing uh their gods so that's the virtues of the surah and acting in accordance with it um it was narrated That said, the prophet sallall.aii Wasam said, "Recite, oh you, oh you disbelievers, then uh res sleep when you have finished it, for it is a disavow of mean. It was narrated that said this surah is equivalent to one quarter of the Quran. So it's equal to one quarter of the Quran like is equal to a third of the Quran in reward and in of course u meaning and substance. Now the virtues of the surah as we said in Muslim it is narrated that from that the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam used to recite um say Allah say he is Allah who is one in the two following. So this is the importance of surah in Muslim. It is narrated from Abu Hur that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam recited these two suras in the two sunnah raas of meaning before you pray two raas of sunnah and in one you read and you in the second one you read it was narrated from that the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam recited the um two sunnah raas before and the two sunnas after 20 odd times or between 10 and 20 times say oh disbelievers and say he is Allah who is one. So these two suras were recited in both be the sunnah of which is which is before the prayer of and the sunnah of which uh comes after the prayer of uh and he's he repeated that at least more than 10 times or more than 20 times. So that is the uh uh hadith in the uh uh acting in according to the surah. Now coming to the commentary say oh disbelievers this includes every disbeliever on the face of earth even if those to whom it was initially addressed uh were the disbelievers of Quraysh. Yes, it was addressed to the people of Kesh, but it's to all disbelievers at all times. You must address every disbeliever in your heart or verbally if he's present in order to disavow him uh and what he worship. If the context is is viable, then you read uh this and you should show them the disavow of shik from what they worship. If they worship uh anyone other than Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, we should we have noted uh that they in their ignorance called the messenger of Allaham to worship their idols. Yes, they did. They they said worship your idols for one year. We worship your uh god for one year. Then Allah revealed the surah in which he instructed the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam to disavow the religion completely as he said subhanahu wa ta'ala I do not worship what you worship that is at present namely the idols and rivals that you have the Muslims in every era must disavow their manner uh uh everything in this manner everything that is worshiped beside Allah whether it is well like a saint, a grave or anything else. So no worship of anything or anyone except Allahel. And you should disavow yourself from the worship of any other object or being. How great is the need for those who call people to Islam today to disavow everything is worship beside Allah. Yes. Very important. and and every every person who calls people to Islam should concentrate on the the concept of the uh or the faith in allahel and to worship him alone and not to associate partners with him not to worship anything other than Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and you do not worship what I worship namely Allah alone subhana tala so you do not worship Allah my my my my lord my god and I do not worship your god gods who are idols and uh rivals. I do not do that. I have never worshiped what you worship. That is in the past I never worshiped what you worshiped. What is meant I was never known to do that. So alhamdulillah Allah saved the prophetam from worshiping their gods even before he was sent as a messenger. And you do not worship what I worship. That is repeated again. So to leave no room for any doubt or suspicion that um uh it might be come to the minds of person or thinking that yes I might reconcile I might uh try to accommodate your religion as you accommodate my religion. There is no way that you can do that. uh you know there should be a separation between this and that. For you is your religion namely shik and the requ quit that will result from it is yours and for me is my religion namely Islam and the reward that will result from it is mine. So there is no way that uh this will be uh you know going to be reconciled. So uh this is the concept of which means that the Muslim takes all his concepts, values, beliefs and laws that regulate the conduct from allahel to the exclusion of all others and all aspects of life. It's a complete im and Islam and oneness ored of allahel. Um what we learn from these ays is first disavowel of worship of anything other than allahel. Thus it is obligatory to disavow the religion of the Jews, the Christians, the pol polytheists um in every place in every time without any uh sync criticism half solutions or meeting halfway. No no way no way that you can you can meet with with shik in any way any time. Uh secondly to is one path and shik is a different path. So they do not meet they do not come and meet together. There's no reconciliation. There is no way to get um uh and shik all together or can be can be combined or we can accept they can accept each other. Either you are inhed or you are in shik or you're ined or you're in nohed. That is the point. And thirdly, it is obligatory to be sincere to allahel alone and not worship anyone or anything except Allah. This is the importance of u of for the Muslim. That is that is very very very important. All right. I think we need to um look for our place and uh I think we're coming towards the activities of uh of our lesson uh for today. Let's see where we have the lesson there. Alhamdulillah. All right. Now coming to the activities. quote uh the prophetic uh hadith concerning the following the virtue of we talked about hadith where the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said recite then sleep at the end of it because it is a disavow of so that's hadith by the reasons for this revelation we already talked about the reason which is some people from Quraysh uh asked the prophet wasallam to um worship their god for one year and and gods for one year and he they will worship his god for one year and they meet halfway and he said allahel revealed the surah to say no and and the prophet said to them Allah forbid that we worship we associate anyone with him subhanahala acting in accordance with it. of course acting in accordance with it. Uh the prophetam used to to recite it in the sunnah of and uh the sunnah of and even a twoas in the two rakas of after you make you make the sunnah behind the station of Ibraim Ibraim if possible or other in in any other place and then haram then it is possible for you it's sunnah to read uh this these two suras And then what do we learn from the repetition of the verse and you do not worship what I worship is to leave no room for doubt or suspicion in this matter at all. Allah repeats that it's not possible that you worship other than Allah and these people will not worship their gods and worship Allah at the same time. It's not possible. Either you worship Allah or you worship something else. So it hased and Islam and submission to Allah has to be for him alone and not for anything or anyone else. All right, that brings us to the end of our lesson for today. Until I meet you inshallah for the next lesson, I leave you with Allah with Allah's care and protection. What about [Music] that? Nothing. [Music]
