00:00Nahmaduhu wa nusalli ala rasoolihil kareem amma baad
00:03The most brief summary of the 16th chapter of the Quran is that
00:07at the end of the 15th chapter, the knowledge journey of Prophet Moses and Prophet Khidr
00:14and during that time, their knowledge conversation was going on
00:19and at the beginning of the 16th chapter as well, the same knowledge conversation
00:25and the revelation of all those incidents and the wisdoms hidden behind them
00:32were mentioned by Prophet Khidr.
00:35Then after the beginning of the 16th chapter,
00:38Allah, the Lord of Glory, has narrated the whole story of Prophet Zulqarnain and his circumstances.
00:48Before the story of Prophet Zulqarnain, it should be kept in mind that
00:52the polytheists had asked Prophet Moses three questions.
00:56One of the questions was to tell us about the person who travelled from the west to the east.
01:04The person who travelled from the west to the east, tell us about his circumstances.
01:08Prophet Zulqarnain is not a certain prophet.
01:12Although there is a saying about him that he is a prophet,
01:15but it is not certain that he is a prophet.
01:18However, Allah, the Lord of Glory, has given him extraordinary means.
01:23He travelled an extraordinary and long journey.
01:28Therefore, he travelled from the west to the east.
01:31The journey from the west to the east was where the sun was setting
01:34and it was the last corner of the world after which the sea was the sea.
01:38This was one of his journeys.
01:40The second journey was from the east to the west
01:43and this was the journey from the east to the west from where the sun was setting.
01:47His third journey was from the north.
01:50When Prophet Zulqarnain travelled from the north, he met the people there.
01:55They talked about the killing of Gog and Magog,
01:59and about the bloodshed from their side.
02:04He also said that you should build a wall in the middle of these mountains
02:09and we will offer you all kinds of wealth.
02:13Prophet Zulqarnain said that he did not need wealth.
02:17However, individual effort should be done with the help of human resources.
02:25Therefore, Prophet Zulqarnain built a strong wall there
02:30with the help of iron planks and molten glass
02:34and Gog and Magog were protected from it.
02:37Then Allah, the Lord of Glory, said
02:39Arabic
02:47which can be explained in simple words
02:50that how can anyone describe the attributes of Allah?
02:54It is not possible.
02:56Even if all the trees in the world turn into pens,
02:59all the rivers and seas turn into ink,
03:02and all the people turn into scribes,
03:05it is not possible to describe the attributes of Allah.
03:09Allah, the Lord of Glory, said this here.
03:12And the summary of these last verses is that
03:15there are three basic conditions for the acceptance of deeds.
03:20The first condition is that the belief should be right.
03:22The second condition is that the intention should be right.
03:24And the third condition is that the deeds of man should be in accordance with the Sunnah.
03:28After Surah Kahf, Allah, the Lord of Glory, started Surah Maryam in this 16th chapter.
03:34In Surah Maryam, Allah, the Lord of Glory, stated the right beliefs regarding Jesus Christ and Mary.
03:42And He refuted the Christians.
03:44And while refuting the Christians,
03:47He specifically stated that Jesus Christ was born from the womb of Mary.
03:53He is neither the third of the three,
03:56nor is he the son of God, nor is he God.
03:59Just as in the Holy Quran, Allah, the Lord of Glory, refuted the Christian beliefs in many places.
04:07After this, Allah, the Lord of Glory, mentioned the prayer of Hazrat Zakariya.
04:12He called out to Allah, the Lord of Glory, in secret.
04:15He called out to Allah, the Lord of Glory, in secret.
04:20And he asked for a son.
04:22And Allah, the Lord of Glory, accepted his request
04:26and gave him the good news of a son named Hazrat Yahya.
04:33Upon this, Hazrat Zakariya asked the question,
04:37I have become old,
04:39and what will be the sign of this?
04:43Allah, the Lord of Glory, gave this sign to Hazrat Zakariya,
04:48that despite having a healthy body,
04:51you will not be able to speak for three days.
04:54Then Allah, the Lord of Glory, mentioned the attributes of Yahya,
04:57that he will be obedient,
04:59and he will obey his parents,
05:03he will be pure,
05:05and he will be pious,
05:07and Allah, the Lord of Glory, made him pious,
05:09and he served his parents.
05:11Allah, the Lord of Glory, mentioned all these things.
05:14After this, it is mentioned in the book of Mary.
05:16It is the mention of Hazrat Mary, peace and blessings be upon her.
05:19And from here, the story of Hazrat Mary, peace and blessings be upon her, is narrated.
05:23It is said that she was about 13 or 15 years old.
05:27According to Mary, peace and blessings be upon her,
05:30Hazrat Jibreel came to visit her.
05:32Whenever Hazrat Jibreel, peace and blessings be upon him, visited her,
05:35he would come in the form of a beautiful man.
05:40When he came to Hazrat Mary, peace and blessings be upon her,
05:43she began to cover herself.
05:46Hazrat Jibreel, peace and blessings be upon her, told her,
05:49I have come with the good news of a son,
05:52and I am not a human being.
05:54In fact, I am an angel, i.e. Jibreel.
05:57And then, Hazrat Jibreel, peace and blessings be upon him,
06:00blew into her neck,
06:02from which Allah, the Lord of Glory,
06:04granted Hazrat Mary, peace and blessings be upon her,
06:07the pregnancy of Isa, peace and blessings be upon him.
06:11When the time of birth was approaching,
06:14Hazrat Mary, peace and blessings be upon her, was told,
06:17therefore, she reached near a hill.
06:21There, Allah, the Lord of Glory,
06:23through the date tree,
06:26granted her unseasonal dates.
06:29A spring of water flowed below.
06:32So Allah, the Lord of Glory, granted her water,
06:35and Allah, the Lord of Glory, granted her unseasonal fruit.
06:38Hazrat Mary, peace and blessings be upon her,
06:41spent there, according to one narration,
06:43forty days, and according to other narrations,
06:45she spent there as long as she could.
06:47And after that, she came to her family with the child.
06:50When she came to her family,
06:52the people of the family questioned her,
06:54and began to object,
06:56that she was an unmarried woman,
06:58and when she was not married,
07:00and she was not married,
07:02then how could she have a child?
07:04On this occasion, they pointed towards
07:06Hazrat Isa, peace and blessings be upon him.
07:08Allah, the Lord of Glory,
07:10granted Hazrat Isa, peace and blessings be upon him,
07:12the power of pregnancy in his lap,
07:14and he testified,
07:16and he said about his future,
07:18about being a prophet,
07:20and the good news of being given a book to him,
07:22after which,
07:24all the people of the family became happy.
07:26After this, Allah, the Lord of Glory,
07:28in this same Surah Maryam,
07:30mentioned the Tabligh of Hazrat Ibrahim, peace and blessings be upon him.
07:33Rather, it is mentioned in the book of Ibrahim,
07:35that many Prophets,
07:37the Dawah of Tawheed,
07:39and Tabligh and Irshad,
07:41were mentioned by Allah, the Lord of Glory.
07:43Therefore, many Prophets,
07:45while mentioning the qualities and qualities,
07:47Hazrat Ibrahim, peace and blessings be upon him,
07:49mentioned the Dawah of Tawheed
07:51to his father,
07:53as a special mention.
07:55Then Allah, the Lord of Glory,
07:57mentioned Hazrat Idrees, peace and blessings be upon him,
07:59mentioned in the book of Idrees,
08:01and Allah, the Lord of Glory,
08:03mentioned their Dawah and their Tawheed.
08:05Moving forward,
08:07Allah, the Lord of Glory,
08:09specifically mentioned Pul Sirat,
08:11there is no one among you
08:13who will not be helped by the people of faith.
08:15And when the people of faith
08:17pass through,
08:19when the people of Kufr pass through,
08:21they will never be able to pass through
08:23safely.
08:25In the end, Allah, the Lord of Glory,
08:27mentioned the love of the people of faith.
08:33In the end of this Surah, Allah, the Lord of Glory,
08:35mentioned that for those who believe
08:37and do righteous deeds,
08:39Allah bestows love and
08:41blessings upon them.
08:43After this, Allah, the Lord of Glory,
08:45mentioned Surah Taha after Surah Maryam.
08:47In Surah Taha,
08:49in the beginning,
08:51Allah, the Lord of Glory,
08:53used to spend the entire night
08:55in Tahajjud,
08:57and his feet would become warm.
08:59Then Allah, the Lord of Glory,
09:01comforted the Prophet,
09:03and said that he should
09:05take some rest and some worship.
09:07Therefore,
09:09in this Surah,
09:11Allah, the Lord of Glory,
09:13used the word Ma'amul Mubarak.
09:15The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
09:17was given the title of Prophet,
09:19and his entire story is
09:21the Hadith of Musa.
09:23From here, Allah, the Lord of Glory,
09:25mentioned this till Ayah 98,
09:27and the detailed story
09:29of Prophet Musa, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
09:31Especially,
09:33when Prophet Musa, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
09:35on his return from Madinah,
09:37he saw a place where
09:39a tree was burning.
09:41So, he sat his family there,
09:43and they went to the place
09:45where the tree was burning,
09:47so that they could find
09:49some light and a way.
09:51When they went there,
09:53they found that the branches of the tree
09:55were not burning in the fire,
09:57but because of the fire,
09:59the beauty of the tree was increasing.
10:01At this place,
10:03Prophet Musa, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
10:05said, I am your Lord.
10:07Worship only me.
10:09I have chosen you for prophethood.
10:11I will grant you prophethood.
10:13Moving forward,
10:15there is a mention of prayers
10:17of Prophet Musa, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
10:19especially,
10:21to get rid of the tongue,
10:23and to make Prophet Harun, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
10:25a partner in this work of prophethood.
10:27Allah, the Lord of Glory,
10:29mentioned this.
10:31Then, Allah, the Lord of Glory,
10:33mentioned the childhood
10:35of Prophet Musa, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
10:37with details.
10:39We had ordered to put Prophet Musa, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
10:41in the river.
10:43Then, the sister kept walking with him.
10:45The matter of feeding him with milk.
10:47Then, Prophet Musa and Prophet Harun,
10:49peace and blessings of Allah be upon them,
10:51went to Pharaoh and invited him.
10:53After narrating the detailed story
10:55of Prophet Musa, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
10:57Allah, the Lord of Glory, said,
10:59Thus, We tell you of the events
11:01and We have given you a reminder.
11:03This, which Allah, the Lord of Glory, said,
11:05is actually an evidence of the truthfulness
11:07and truthfulness of the Prophet,
11:09peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
11:11How is the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
11:13narrating the story of Prophet Musa, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him?
11:15It is not possible without revelation.
11:17So, Allah gave the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
11:19this story.
11:21Then,
11:23from the tongue of Prophet Musa, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
11:25this story is being narrated
11:27in the form of revelation and the Holy Quran.
11:29Then, in the end,
11:37in this, there is a mention of the five daily prayers.
11:39Allah, the Lord of Glory,
11:41mentioned the five daily prayers
11:43and gave the commandment.
11:45And in the end, this too,
11:53Here, Allah, the Lord of Glory,
11:55revealed the wealth of these disbelievers
11:57and gave the commandment
11:59not to turn towards
12:01the wealth of these disbelievers.
12:03That these disbelievers
12:05should never turn
12:07towards this wealth.
12:09Rather,
12:11Allah, the Lord of Glory,
12:13gave the commandment
12:15to always turn towards Allah and the Hereafter.
12:17And certainly,
12:19by giving this commandment to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
12:21to the Ummah and to us,
12:23this commandment is intended
12:25that we should never turn towards
12:27the wealth of these disbelievers
12:29and their light
12:31and their knowledge
12:33and their forgetting of the Hereafter.
12:35We should always turn
12:37towards Allah
12:39and the Hereafter.
12:41And in the end, our supplication is that,
12:43All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of Glory.
