Muhammad his family and his companions all until the day of judgment I welcome you to this new episode from the series of and uh we uh are dealing with Surah and we already covered part of it and where we stopped now we're coming to the second part which is now in the interpretation of that but as for the one or he who is given his record behind his back his right hand will be tied to the neck and his left hand will be caused to be behind his back so he will be given his book behind with in his left hand behind his back as an indication of what he used to do in this life where he turned his back uh on the book of Allah and he did not care about it and not pay attention to to to to the book of Allah and he did not see anything wrong uh with going against it so that is in return to what he what he did so he will be given his uh record in his left hand as opposed to be given the the one who who who did righteous Deeds to be given in his right hand he will cry out for uh destruction of course he will meaning he will cry out for Destruction uh lamenting his down uh his Doom when he sees his record he would say oh destruction to me oh bad to me how bad is my uh is is is my record and what I did in in this life this will will utter words of regret and sorrow this is like like the verse which Allah says they will cry out thereupon for Destruction uh that is in Surah Alan where people will cry out for Destruction uh again um that's they will call upon uh themselves for or destruction and enter to burn in a blaze that is he will be admitted into fire and burn in it this is like the verse where Allah says he will enter and burn in the greatest fire again the same thing in Surah uh where the same meaning is repeated again in the other Surah in uh the part of in J indeed um he had once been among his people in happiness uh he used to be happy in this life with his family and he forgot and and and did not care about the second life where he will be uh facing uh riddle and he will be held to account for what he did so he did not uh do that and that's why he used to be happy in this life but now is real life coming indeed he had thought he would never return to Allah that's the reason because he thought that he will never return to Allah that is he thought that he would never be brought back to life and resurrected then he would be be brought to account um the word Al Al meaning to return it appears in the Hadith where the Prophet used to say meaning oh Allah I seek Refuge with you from loss after uh plenty so you don't want to lose after you earn to have um um much and then then you lose it that is is the return that's why in the Ayah meaning to return to Allah and this comes also in in the uh Arabic poetry where laid uh the famous uh poet leid said man is nothing but a brilliant shooting star that returns to ashes turns to ashes after having uh Shone brightly so that is where the word is used and you know we always depend on on the earlier part of of Arabic spoken during the times before Islam or after Islam for the first three centuries uh where we can use the Arabic poetry and and and texts uh said by Arabs as to the meaning of a of a word and where the word uh used to be um uh said by by the Arabs at the at that time but yet that is the matter is not as he thought meaning that uh before he created him he knew that he would return to him subhah waala and he knew that uh what already decreed for him uh of Doom or for Bliss so Allah knows uh that this person will not abide by the instructions of Allah subhana wa ta'ala and therefore he will not be uh a good person and therefore Allah knows um exactly his his destination what we can learn from the ayas or the benefits of these ayas first we learn about the record of the deed Allah has made giving of the uh book or the record with the right hand as uh an indication that this person is blessed and destined for Paradise that's an indication of giv in the right hand uh because normally the right hand is uh is customarily used to handle clean and good things this is natural uh when you shake hands in most cultures uh it is done in the right hand if you uh give a person something normally you give them with a right hand and and uh and so on so uh this is a human uh tendency instilled in human beings and that's that's one of the benefits secondly in the verse uh and return to his people in happiness now Allah is expressing that this person is returning to his people either to humans or uh the U wives that he will have in in Paradise because he is uh this is likened to a person who uh went out for trade and came back with a profit and he's happy returning to his family and uh enjoying the uh the winning and attainment of what he what he earned uh is the same thing for this these people who used to uh do good deeds and be righteous uh in this life and then they will be uh uh doing the same thing just like that U winning or uh Merchant who uh who returned to his family after uh earning uh profit from his trait uh the thirdly the verse but yes B indeed his Lord was ever of him seeing meaning indicative of the wisdom uh behind the uh behind resurrecting people in order to Reit uh uh them for their for their deeds you know it's it's uh not proper for Allah to let the one who was doing evil uh to go on without being held uh on the day of judgment for what he did nor would Allah leave a person uh who did well uh not to be uh compensated and not to be rewarded for the for the day of judgment so the day of judgment is a day of re quiddle uh and and and holding people account for each person uh for what he sent forth in uh from this life to the Hereafter these are the benefits of the Ayah now coming to the activities of um this episode uh the one the first one quote three verses from the Glorious Quran which uh refers to the uh splitting of the sky on the day of Resurrection well there are many as we said in this also and also in the Glorious Quran there are many verses in the Glorious Quran in this regard and you'll find them uh the word in in particular or in you'll find that in the Glorious Quran secondly why will uh the Believers be given uh uh their record from behind their back we already talked about that and we said that this is because they uh uh they turned their back from the truth on the on the book of Allah and therefore they will take their book or record on the day of judgment from behind just like one one action for Action the same same action was given to them again on the day of judgment and what do you understand from the eloquent quranic phrase and return to his people in happiness Subhan Allah of course because you know what you understand is that uh you return to your own people to your family members who will be with you in Paradise into Al in in enjoyment and happiness because you feel the the The Profit just like the merchant and you feel that you have attained success and that's why you're so happy for what you did and what Allah gave you as a reward and out of his own generosity subhah wa ta'ala so that is showing us what um what has been uh what this Ayah can be can be reflected uh on from your own thinking so that brings us to the end of this episode until I see you inshallah in the coming episode I leave you with Allah's care and [Music] production for [Music]
