I start in the name of Allah the
compassionate the merciful. All praise
is due to Allahawel
and may the peace and blessings of Allah
be upon his prophet Muhammad his
companions and his followers all until
the day of resurrection. And I welcome
you to this new lesson of taps at of
level four at Zad Academy. And we are
actually uh continuing surah
and we ended with uh ayah
and then we are going to continue uh
this surah today from ayah 9 until ayah
19 where Allah says after
for.
These are the verses where Allahel says
the meaning of which uh have you
considered
the the one who forbids a servant
when he prays?
How about if he is following guidance or
enjoying righteousness?
Uh how about if he meaning the one who's
praying is following guidance and
enjoying
uh enjoys righteousness. How about the
one who denies and turns away?
So this is the one who is forbidding the
one who prays. So if he who denies and
turns away, does he know does he not
know that Allah sees?
No. If he does not desist,
we will surely drag him by the forlock.
A lying sinning for uh lock.
Then let him call his associates.
We will call the angels of hell.
No, do not obey him
but prostrate
and draw near to Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala. This is 9-19. Now uh coming to
the commentary
it's not like you see with your own eyes
but rather have you considered have you
seen with your mind that is tell me what
you think. This is a denunciation and an
expression of astonishment at the state
of the one who forbids someone to pray.
And this is regarding
uh this is a reprehensible deed um where
the one who forbids a servant when he
prays. This refers to Abu Jah uh who had
forbidden the messenger of Allah
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam to
pray.
Now it was narrated by Muslim that Abu
said Abu Jahal said does Muhammad rub
his face in the dust in front of you. He
was talking to his own companions and it
was said yes. He said uh by and he was
swearing by and als
rub his face in the dust. That's what he
wanted to do. Then he came to the
messenger of Allah sallall alaihi
wasallam when he was praying thinking
that he would step on his neck. But
suddenly
uh they saw him meaning the people
around um Abu Jahal uh stepping
backwards shielding his faith with his
own hands and it was said to him what is
the matter with you? What happened to
you? He said between me and him is a
ditch of fire, terror and wings.
The messenger of Allaham said if he had
come close to me the angels would have
snatched him by his limbs.
So this was a protection from allahel
for the prophetatam
from Abu Jahal who wanted to step on the
on the neck of the prophetam or to rub
his face on in the dust but he could not
do that because Allah created a ditch of
fire between him and and and the
prophetat wasam
and then he saw terror and wings meaning
wings of the angels because had he come
closer he would have been snatched by
the these angels and um uh by by his own
limbs. So that was that was the
protection and that was the story of Abu
Jah regarding um forbidding the
prophetam from praying. Now he uh how
about if he is following uh guidance
meaning why would he do so when he is
following the guidance? This is the
prophet sallallaihi wasallam the
messenger of Allahawel.
You forbid him to pray and he was
following the straight path in his deeds
um or in joining piety in his words and
you are rebuking him and threatening him
for praying. Allah is is is is showing
this saying why do you do that when he's
when he's a right uh a righteous man who
is doing this uh uh worship to allahel
how about the one who denies and turns
away now coming back to Abu Jahal again
where he denied the truth with which
Allah sent Muhammad wasallam and turned
away from it and he did not believe in
it does he not know that Allah sees.
This is again another warning and it's
uh showing him the requ
in in control. And he said
this is a deterrent and rebuke to the
transgressor Abu Jahal who forbade the
prophet wasallam to pray if he does not
desist.
If he did not stop what he was doing, we
will surely drag him by the forlock.
That is, if he does not stop this evil
and stubbornness, we shall seize him
forcefully and violently by his forlock
and and which is the hair in the front
of the head. That is the front of the
head and the hair will be pulled and he
will be dragged into hell. uh with that
this is like the verse in which allahel
says regarding this is in
the wicked will be known by their marks
and they will be seized by the four
locks and the feet. So
the word
is translated above as drag. Refers to
grabbing someone um or something
violently and forcefully um and then uh
throwing it you know like pulling them
so forcefully and strongly. A lying
sinning forlock. This is description of
the uh head and the forlock of Abu
Jahal. It's it's regarding Abu Jal who
was a liar, a sinner because he was
lying in his words and he was a sinner
by his own uh deeds and actions.
Then let him call his associates
that is his own people, his own tribe,
his own companions. Uh the wording of
the phrase translated here as let him
call is a challenge to him um to serve
uh uh and serves to prove that he is
helpless. He would not be able to even
get the company of the people of his own
group or the whole of his tribe. He will
they will not be able to help him. Abu
Jal who was held in high esteem among
his own people was was uh sitting in a
place called Anadwa for example with his
own associates where they would gather
around him and talk to him because he
was so esteemed by his own tribe uh in
Quraysh we will call the angels of hell
they are these are the angels of
punishment and allahel described them
here elsewhere as
As Allah says,
harsh and severe, they do not disobey
Allah uh in what he commands them, but
do what they are commanded.
Mayun. So these this is the description
of these great severe and strong and
harsh uh
angels. In Arabic the word Zabania
Zabania is translated as the angels of
hell because this refers to the police
because it is it comes from the word
zebin. Zeban meaning pushing because
they will push people towards hell.
That's why they're called Zabania. Now
coming to
the last two ayah no do not obey him.
The last ayah do not obey him
but prostrate and draw near to allahel.
referring to the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam calling him to um not to
give up his own prayer to uh continue
doing uh the righteous deeds uh
prostrate that is to pray to Allah and
come near to him by doing acts of
worship and obedience
and the close the closest a person to
allahel is in the state of sjud uh or
prostration.
He says the prophet says in the
closest a person is to his lord is when
he is prostrating so offer a lot of
supplication or dua. What we learn from
these ayas is the following. First the
verses contain unique miracle of the
glorious Quran because these verses
issued a challenge to Abu Jah and Abu
Jah heard these verses and his own
supporters and associates heard it but
no one was dared to attack the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam and uh these
although these words provoked them yet
they were not able to do anything. So
that's a challenge and a miracle of the
glorious Quran. Secondly, the stern
words and stern warning of Allahel that
he addressed a stubborn rebellious Abu
Jah indicate that the more a person
transgresses the uh harsh and the
greater will be his share of Allah's
punishment. So that is depending on how
great the sin is, the the great uh the
punishment will be. So that is like a a
rule.
This is what we learn and in going to
the activities
uh explain the meaning of the following
words. We will surely drag him
and this is pulling him violently uh and
forcefully. That is
by the forlock meaning the hair of the
head of the front part of the of the
head. U
his associates meaning his own tribe
those people who were sitting with him
his own supporters that is his
associates. Secondly, in the phrase and
the one who forbids
uh a servant when he prays, who is the
one who forbade it? Well, we know that
it is Abu Jahal. And who is the servant
who was praying? We know it's the
prophet sallallah.aii
wasallam. Does he uh not know that Allah
sees? What is the significance of this
verse in the life of the believer? Of
course, it showed that allahel is
watching is looking after the the
everything that a person does.
So Allah looking after doesn't doesn't
Allah uh uh see him it's it's just like
a warning that look even if you try to
do something bad remember that allahel
is watching over you and his angels are
recording everything that you do and
you'll be u uh receiving the requir
what you did. That's that's a good a
good thing for a believer to always
watch uh whatever he does because
allahel is there watching and knowing
everything that a person does. This
brings us to the end of our lesson for
today. Until we meet you inshallah in
this in the second or coming lesson I
leave you with Allah's care and
protection.
