Alhamdulillah.
In the name of Allah, the compassion,
the merciful. All praise is due to Allah
the Almighty. And may the peace and
blessings of Allah be upon his prophet
Muhammad, his followers, his companions,
and all of his followers until the day
of resurrection with along with his
families.
Now coming to this uh new episode of uh
the subject of taps level four at Z
Academy. I welcome you and we are
dealing this time with surah
surah which is a meccan surah revealed
before the hijra of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam in the surah
allahel says afterman
So these are the uh ay number 1 to8 of
where allahel says the meaning of which
competition and worldly increase
uh divertly diverts you until you visit
the graves. No, you are going to know
then. No, you are going to know. No, if
you only knew what knowledge of
certainty, you will surely see the
hellfire. Then you will surely see it
with the eyes of certainty. Then you
will surely asked you be asked about
that day or you'll be asked that day
about pleasure.
So these are
eight ay of
now coming to what has been narrated
about the surah. Um the Muslim
in his book narrated um from
that his father said I came to the
messenger of Allah
when he was reciting competition and
worldly increase diverts you
he said the son of Adam says my wealth
my wealth He said, "And
do you have anything of your wealth, oh
son of Adam, except what you uh ate and
consumed, what you wore and wore out and
what you gave in charity and sent on
ahead." This is uh the translation of
the hadith
So uh actually this is going what is
going to help you on the day of judgment
uh is what you put forward uh for the
for the second life or whatever you
consumed and already um used in this
life but not the treasures that you
gave. That's why allahel is saying
so you're busy actually and this made
you heedless.
Uh
competition and worldly increase diverts
you. You're distracted by love of this
world and its pleasures um and adorement
um and by competition in uh accumulating
wealth, children, status in showing
pride in your tribe from seeking the
pursuing of the here of the hereafter.
This is exactly the point is that people
are heedless of the hereafter and busy
with this life until you visit the
graves. That is you get carried away
with love of this worldly gain and being
uh uh preoccupied with that until the
death comes you. Then you'll be buried
and then you'll be uh ending up in the
grave and uh uh you become one of its
occupants. That's why he said you visit
until you visit the graves. No, that's
that's a rebuke, a word of rebuke to
them.
You are going to know. Um this is the
reason for this rebuke is uh to deter
them from competing uh in worldly gain
and pointing out to them that they will
come to know the consequence of that on
the day of resurrection. This stems
stern warning to them. Uh then allahel
repeats again that uh rebuke by saying
then no
you are going to know this is one
warning after another is because of the
uh enormity of the matter and um making
sure that whatever you're looking to uh
increase and have more and to earn more
and to keep more of this worldly gain
actually it's going to be coming to an
end and you'll be going into the graves
and then death will befall uh you know
no you are if you only knew with
knowledge of certainty that is if you
knew uh for sure you will surely see the
hellfire meaning that uh you knew for
sure while you are still in this world
you would be able to see hell in your
mind. So you have to envision, you have
to uh imagine the terrors of the day of
resurrection and you'll see uh uh how
how terrible that that day will be. Then
allahel repeats this warning again.
Uh then you will surely see it with the
eyes of certainty. Now after you you
imagine it in this life, you will see it
surely um on the day of resurrection
with your own eyes as allahel uh says
this is in
where Allah says and the wicked will see
the fire and will be certain that there
are to fall therein and they will not
find from it a way elsewhere. Meaning
that they're going to fall in it for
sure because it's in front of their own
eyes. So that's a warning and it it
refers to uh uh everything that they uh
were trying to escape but then they will
see it in reality on the day of
judgment. Then you will surely be asked
about
um that day about pleasure. meaning that
on the day of judgment you'll be held
accountable even for things that you uh
you had as a pleasure that refers to all
worldly pleasure the health the security
the provision everything that Allah gave
you in this life actually you'll be
asked whether you showed uh gratitude
for the blessings that Allah bestowed uh
upon you subhanahu wa'ta'ala uh the uh
there's a hadith in this in this regard
where it was narrated by Abu
they said the messenger of Allah
wasam said the first pleasure a person
will be asked about on the day of
resurrection will be uh when it is said
to him did we not make your body healthy
and was your thirst not quenched with
cold water.
I mean these are very two taken for
granted pleasures which is health in the
body and finding cold water to enjoy
when drinking. Subhan Allah. You know,
this is the first thing that a person
will be asked about on the day of
judgment. And and you could go ahead and
have a long list of all the pleasures
that are given to the human being on the
day of judgment. Subhan Allah. What is
meant by alzak? The life in the grave is
a passing through the stage of the
eternal abode. So alzak or the grave is
not the end. Actually it is only a a
passing stage. It's just only um a step
on the way u where a person will be
buried for some time and then they will
be transferred to the second life where
they will live forever either in
paradise or hellfire may Allah forbid.
Uh that's why uh allahel says
until you visit the graves. It's just
like coming uh when you when you visit
meaning uh actually you're not going to
stay there. It's just like a visit. It
was narrated that when of the Bedwins
heard the reciting saying competition in
worldly increase diverts you until you
visit the graves. He said by Allah the
visitor is not a resident.
by Allah we will surely be resurrected.
So he understood immediately that he is
only there as a visitor and not a
resident or permanent resident and then
we'll be resurrected afterwards. And
that's why it is wrong to think that uh
to express this when when they when they
say in Arabic for example in
gone to his final resting place.
Actually this expression is wrong and
not right because the grave is not the
final resting place. uh the grave is
only the first stage of the hereafter
and it's not the last. The last is
either paradise or hellfire. Number two,
both the believers and the disbelievers
will be asked about the pleasure and
blessings in life. As for a believer
actually he will be asked a question uh
to remind them of the blessings and the
pleasures of that allahel bestowed upon
them so they would be thankful and uh
they will have more of pleasures in the
uh in in the coming life in in paradise
however uh as for the because Allah was
so generous with them but as for the
non-believer actually it's their uh it's
u it will be a question by way of rebuke
and to make them feel guilty. So the
question will be asked to both the
believer and the believer. However, the
situation of the two would be different.
That's why uh uh we have the result and
the requ quit of what a person did in
this life. Coming to activities list the
three types of competing and worldly
gain with which people are preoccupied
nowadays. Think of what what do you
think? You think that for example of
course wealth people are looking for
money and wealth and and gain and and so
on. Uh so that's that's number number
one probably fame where people would
like to have their names known and they
have uh uh they are so famous uh in in
uh in the minds of people and I think is
is like look and health. They want to
look good. They want to be healthy. They
want to be well. Uh of course these are
some of the pleasures um and and things
that people compete to find to have in
this life. list of the three things that
we learn from the surah. Well, uh
actually uh
there are three things that we can
learn. We can learn that the uh grave is
a passing stage as we already talked
about. We said that everything will be
uh uh person will be asked about all the
pleasures in life. Of course, he will be
held accountable in the situation. For
the believer, it's going to be a
reminder of the generosity and kindness
of Allah to them in this life as well as
in the hereafter. And for the
disbeliever, it's going to be like a
rebuke and uh to have him feel guilty.
And then number three, everyone will be
uh will see uh with his own eyes um you
know uh the people of of hellfire and
the people of paradise and uh the people
of of uh uh evil and people who did bad
in this life will see uh jannam and will
see the um hellfire in in front of their
eyes uh clearly with certainty. What
will be uh what u what may be uh
understood from the fact that um uh
burial and the grave is described as a
visit. Of course, it's a visit because
it's it's very very short. It's very
short and um and it's not going to be
lasting. It's only a stage passing
passing by as the Bedwin said. Uh it's
surely we're going to be resurrected.
Any visitor is not is not a resident. Is
the accumulation of worldly gain uh
blamesworthy? We said no. Uh to
accumulate worldly gain is to to spend
it in the in the path of Allah. Just
like we used to have uh merchants and we
used to have uh people who are who were
rich at the time of the uh prophetat
wasam. those who supported the armies of
uh of Islam and they were so much
generous in charity. So yes, we can we
can have have wealth and we can have uh
worldly gain. However, we spend it in
the way of Allah. We spend it kindly and
and rightly and zaka and and other ways
of of spending in the cause of allahel.
And of course it should not be something
that is haram and we should we should
not use it in something that is
prohibited for us. Okay, I think we came
uh to the end of our lesson for today.
Until I see you inshallah in the coming
episode and lesson I leave you with
Allah's care and protectionalamlaykum.
