Kind: captions Language: en [Music] AC [Music] alhamdulillah I start in the name of Allah the lord of the worlds The Compassion of the merciful and May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon his Prophet Muhammad his family his companions and all of his followers until the day of judgment welcome to this new lesson from the series of t on the first level or of the first level for for zad Academy now we are continuing the uh of Surah Al F the interpretation of the chapter of the opening Surah Al faat and we reached into the saying of Allah subhah waala so what is the meaning of is to submit to Allah in the complete uh submission and humiliating yourself before Allah subhah wa tala of course humiliating in in the sense that it dignifies you it makes you above um uh the uh worship of of other than Allah subhana wa tala so you submit only to Allah subh that's why you say what is as was given a definition by so it's a a complete general term for everything that Allah loves and is pleased with uh in including the deeds and the sayings whether apparent or hidden whether apparent or in in public or in private uh so all of these this is this is what any everything that Allah loves and is pleased with of actions and and uh and deeds and sayings and we use this word is because you actually uh go along with uh in his own uh wants uh so if if you do not go along with with with Allah wants from you then you're not so all and all uh go around the same the same meaning is to submit and to follow and to to obey and to be consistent with uh what Allah wants from you subhanahu wa taala now there are always uh uh uh uh something that the scholars of Islam uh tell us about which is which is important they say that cannot be accepted and cannot be true unless it attains two conditions first is to be sincerely for Allah's sake and secondly to be an so and meaning to follow the guidance of the messenger of of of the the messenger Sall Al so if anyone invents or creates something in the religion of Allah then they have not attained and have not purified which Allah wanted from them so it's important to keep on that guidance and not to go to the right or to the left but rather be straight on that so uh this is important and now look at the uh way we Allah says he put the word before and he said he put the word before the word the reason is because in Arabic if you do that it means you said you only we worship so you only we worship so you you start with and that means that we have to uh limit our meaning to seek help for that with Allah subhah waala alone that's that's the benefit of how you learn Arabic and understand how the Arabic uh grammar and Arabic language is uh is composed in order to give you that meaning and uh of course when Allah subhah wa ta'ala says first so the intention and the and and the deed for is is only for you and if we have that then you are going to be helping us we seek help from you to worship you so uh how nice it is to say that you want to worship Allah and to seek help from him to do that uh and that mean that means that we do not uh uh worship anyone except you and we do not depend on anyone uh for that except you and this is the complete and perfect obedience for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala so uh religion after all goes back to these uh two two meanings which is so we have to have worship and we have to have dependence upon Allah some of the says that Al f is the secret is the key uh to the Quran and and and the s for this the secret and the the key to this word is for you um you only we worship and you only we seek help from and Subhan Allah that's why wrote his very famous book so uh the uh ranks of the uh of The Seekers of of Allah those who try to get to Allah subhah wa ta'ala where they they actually follow this path of there are of course ranks and degrees and they're not all on the same level but if you want to attain that you have to strive to do that you have to strive to to fulfill the meaning of because the first one is disavow of shik and polytheism and the second one is to the disavowal of your own power and strength so uh you you you have to avoid that and be and and have this disavow from from the two in order to purify yourself for Allah waala and look at this turning because first we say and then then we say turning turning directly from the third person into the second person which is which is because you're getting closer to Allah as you say if you submit to that then you're getting closer to Allah and you're seeking his you're seeking his help uh to worship him in the right way this is this is how Arabic is is composed that's why it's so sweet to understand the Arabic language and do not depend on translation we're just only trying to make uh the meaning accessible to you but this does not uh in any way uh be enough for you it is not enough for you to only depend on translation whether being uh translation in lessons like this um in in in video or in writing still the meaning doesn't come as you read the Arabic itself uh the original language of the Glorious Quran and the um the tap as well look at the uh benefits of this from this Ayah uh we there are some benefit of of these ay first uh a person cannot worship Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala except if Allah helps that person uh and that shows you that even if you are uh indulged in in in in um worship you cannot you know don't boast about yourself and don't see yourself as as arrogant and all that but rather you submit and you seek help because it was if it was not for the help of Allah you would not be able to uh to worship subhah Allah subhah wa taala also uh you should not the Ayah shows you that you do not depend anyone and anyone except the one who deserves uh the worship as Allah says in another Ayah see how the Quran supports the meaning here and there same meaning is being uh explained uh another verse again it's basically the same as and when we say it it shows that yes it is our free will to do that and we have the will to do it this is unlike what the Jeb group uh that came in history um among Muslims in earlier times and probably some people still believe in that until today that they said well we are as they say we are we are driven to our Destiny without our choice and we we don't have the choice we don't have the will well actually this Ayah when we say we worship you with our own will subhanahu waala and yes we can choose to do it Allah showed the way to people so they can be either thankful or reject full it's it's based on their own U will and free choice also some of the benefits here is that a person cannot do anything except uh with the help of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and and and and his own and the will of Allah subhanahu wa taala again this is to refute uh the claim by theis which is the opposite to the Jeb uh that uh uh everything that we uh we we we do it's our own and Allah uh doesn't have any will or or choice to to to to create our uh Deeds for us we do create our own Deeds we choose so look at these two extremes one is saying there is no choice for uh the human being and the other one says uh there is no choice and and well for Allah it's only us who are doing it well you are doing your own choice but under the choice and under the will of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that is the the right the right uh in correct position and finally uh you uh you can get seek help from people for or others for things that are they are able to do like uh giving you helping you carrying things moving things you know uh many things that we people can do so it means if you seek help you seek help from Allah for things that Allah is alone is able to do like uh who's going to cure you it's Allah these people can can be a reason can be can be a help can be a tool but they are the the the decision is with Allah subhanahu waala finally let me get into the activities and you have to answer these activities uh how can I be be accepted and and and and straight uh and and correct uh why would Allah subhana wa tala combine with and finally uh answer the uh choose the right answer uh the essence of Al is what is it you know the answer um the innovator is is is rewarded or he has done um a waj or a compulsory thing or he is uh committing a sin and then finally uh give us a reason why when a person prays three seeking uh Allah's help to be close to Allah is his uh and then his Salah is not correct why is that so these are some of the things that you need to look for may Allah subh accept from all us the good deeds and until I see you in the coming lesson I Leave You Allah's care and protection [Music] for [Music] for
