00:00Quran Journey, Quran Journey, let's understand the words, and gain the knowledge from the Quran Journey.
00:16Surah Al-Baruj, The Great Stars
00:19This surah was revealed in Mecca during a very difficult time for Muslims.
00:26Back then Muslims are being treated very badly.
00:31The bad people were forcing the new Muslims to give up their faith.
00:37They were being very mean and were using their power to try to scare people away from Islam.
00:46At that time Allah sent this surah to encourage the believers to be patient and strong.
00:55He promised that if they stayed patient and kept their faith, they would be rewarded in Jannah.
01:03And on the other hand, this surah also warns that the bad people who didn't believe in Allah and were being very cruel would receive severe punishment in the hell fire.
01:19To start this surah, Allah SWT swears by the very big beautiful stars in the sky which move along their own paths at their own speed.
01:34Allah SWT also swears by the Day of Judgment.
01:39On that day, people will give evidence against each other.
01:44Our own body parts will speak up about what we did too.
01:49All the prophets will talk about how their people behaved and Allah SWT himself will be a witness to all our good and bad actions.
02:03Everyone will be there to witness what happens.
02:07It will be a very scary scene.
02:11In history, bad people were unfortunately very cruel to believers who worshipped the one and only God, Allah SWT.
02:23There are many events where bad people even threw good people into a ditch of fire because they accepted Allah SWT as their God.
02:36Here, Allah SWT talks about those bad people of the ditch or trench.
02:43And there is a story about them in the Hadith.
02:47About 70 years ago, before the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAW,
02:54Yemen had an evil king who wanted everyone to believe that he was a god.
03:02So, he used a magician to control and trick his people.
03:07After many years, the magician became very old.
03:12So, he asked the king for a smart boy to teach his evil magic to control the people.
03:20After the king approved, the old magician started to train the young boy.
03:26Now, every day on his way home, the boy saw a religious man and learned about the true God, Allah SWT.
03:35So, every day he learned from two teachers, one about Islam and the other from magical tricks.
03:43One day, a big wild beast was blocking the road.
03:49The people were very scared to pass through.
03:53The young boy decided to test who was the right teacher, the religious good man or the magician.
04:01He picked up a small little rock and threw it in the name of Allah SWT.
04:08Right away, the big wild animal died.
04:13The people were shocked by his amazing ability.
04:18Seeing this event, many people started to come to the boy to solve their problems.
04:25With Allah SWT's help, the boy was able to cure all kinds of physical problems and diseases.
04:34When the religious man heard this, he told the boy,
04:38Now Allah SWT will test your iman.
04:43Soon after, a governor of the king became blind.
04:47He came to the boy and the boy said that without Allah SWT's help, he could not do anything.
04:57If the governor believed in the one and only God Allah SWT, his blindness would be cured.
05:06As soon as the governor believed in Allah SWT, he was able to see.
05:12Later, when the king heard this, he ordered the boy, the religious teacher, and the governor to be brought to the palace.
05:23The angry king commanded them to accept him as their god.
05:29But they refused the king's order.
05:32The king became very angry and ordered the governor and the religious teacher to be killed.
05:40The angry king also ordered that the boy be taken to a very high mountain and pushed off.
05:49As a miracle, the mountain started shaking and all of the king's guards fell off the mountain and died.
05:58But Allah SWT saved the young boy.
06:03He returned to the king who was shocked to see him.
06:07The king again ordered the boy to be taken in the middle of the deep ocean and pushed into the water.
06:16The boy was not worried because he had strong faith in Allah SWT.
06:24Suddenly, a large wave came from the sea and killed all of the guards but saved the boy.
06:33Again, the boy returned to the palace.
06:36The king was surprised.
06:38The boy said that the king could not kill him in this way.
06:43The only way he could be killed was if the king brought all the people from his kingdom to one place and shot an arrow at him in the name of Allah SWT.
06:58So, the king gathered all the people from the kingdom.
07:04In front of the crowd, the king said Bismillah and shot his arrow at the boy.
07:10Immediately, the boy died and the people realized that only by the power of Allah SWT's name could the king kill the boy.
07:21Instantly, the people in the crowd accepted Allah SWT as their only God.
07:28When the evil king realized what had happened, he became extremely angry.
07:33He ordered a huge ditch to be dug and a big fire to be started in it.
07:39Then, he commanded that all the believers be thrown one by one into the fire.
07:45Now, inshallah, Allah SWT will reward every single one of those believers in the hereafter for dying with such strong faith.
07:57Now, another story from Iran or Persia involves a very bad king.
08:02He wanted to marry his sister.
08:05So, he told the people that God allowed that kind of marriage and made it a law in their society.
08:12When the people did not accept, the king dug a big trench with fire and burned them one by one.
08:19Another story is about the evil people of Babylon.
08:24They killed many good believers from the Bani Israel or the children of Israel who believed in Allah SWT and followed their prophets.
08:34We also know the story of Ibrahim who was thrown into a fire by a king because he believed in the one and only true God Allah SWT.
08:46Sadly, history is filled with many cruel stories like this.
08:52Now, we have to remember that Allah SWT has power over everything.
08:58He is the king of the heavens and the earth and he watches everything.
09:04For the bad people, their punishment will be in the big fire of hell.
09:11We need to understand that Allah SWT is very kind and merciful.
09:18So, if the bad people feel sorry for their mistakes and ask for forgiveness, the most merciful Allah SWT will forgive them.
09:28In the same way, if we make a mistake, small or big, we should be sincerely sorry and ask for forgiveness from Allah SWT.
09:39He loves to forgive us because He loves us very much.
09:45Now, those who die for their strong faith are considered shuhada or martyrs by Allah SWT and He will reward them in paradise.
09:55Allah SWT becomes very happy when anyone believes in Him and follows His orders.
10:03If Allah SWT is happy with us, we are successful and as a reward, we will go to the most beautiful heaven where rivers flow through heavenly gardens.
10:16So, we must be very careful about what we do and believe.
10:23Our Lord Allah SWT created us from nothing and He will create us again after our death.
10:31If we don't care about our Creator, we will receive extremely painful punishments.
10:38But Allah SWT loves us very much and does not want us to go to hell fire.
10:45So, He loves to forgive our sins.
10:50If we sincerely repent and promise to try our best to not make the same mistake and be good people, He will save us insha'Allah.
11:00He is the one and only King and Lord of everything.
11:05He can do whatever He wants and He has the highest power over everything.
11:13Unfortunately, some bad and arrogant people forget this.
11:18They used their power to oppress and harm good people.
11:24We can see how Pharaoh used his power and strong soldiers to try to destroy Prophet Musa and his followers.
11:35The powerful King of Samut and his bad soldiers killed Allah SWT's miracle camel and its baby to show their arrogance.
11:44And Allah SWT was easily able to destroy them.
11:49Even today, bad disbelievers don't like Allah SWT's law and order or Prophet Muhammad SAW's message.
11:59Like in the old days, they tried to oppress good Muslims and reject the truth.
12:05They forget that Allah SWT is everywhere and no one can escape His kingdom.
12:13He can easily destroy them if He wants.
12:16But Allah SWT is merciful, kind and loving.
12:21To save humanity from the hellfire, He gave us the glorious Qur'an.
12:27In it, He shares many stories from the past to help people avoid evil and the hellfire.
12:34The Qur'an is a timeless miracle from Allah SWT.
12:38It is magnificent and noble.
12:41The words of the Qur'an can never be changed or altered.
12:46Even if the whole world tried, they would not be able to change a single word.
12:52There are no mistakes in the Qur'an and it will never become outdated for people or our society.
13:01It will remain until Yawm Al Qiyamah, the end of the world.
13:05Allah SWT sent the Qur'an to Prophet Muhammad SAW directly from Allah SWT, the most protected place of Allah SWT, where everything is written.
13:20May Allah SWT help us understand the Holy Qur'an and follow His guidance so we can be successful in this world and the hereafter. Ameen.
