00:00Quran journey, Quran journey, let's understand the words, and gain the knowledge from the Quran journey.
00:15Surat At-Tariq, The Night Star
00:18In Surah At-Tariq, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala talks about two main points.
00:24The first is that our Creator, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, has all the power to bring us back to life on the Day of Judgment
00:35and show us every single action we did in this world.
00:41The second is that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's plan will always win, even when people make evil plans.
00:54Surah At-Tariq begins by mentioning a special star that we can see at night.
01:00This star is so bright that it seems to shine through the darkness and stands high above everything.
01:11Astronomers today believe that the first three sentences of Surah At-Tariq may talk about pulsars or neutron stars,
01:21which are stars that spin very fast and send out strong beams of light, kind of like a lighthouse in space.
01:33They are very small but extremely heavy and powerful.
01:38This is something very new in modern astronomy.
01:44But the Qur'an mentioned it over 1400 years ago.
01:52Now, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala created everything and makes sure it all stays in its place.
02:00He is like a guardian, taking care of the entire universe.
02:08Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the best protector.
02:13Even if we think about ourselves, how did we come into this world?
02:17This process is really complicated, happening between the backbone and ribs and also involves different parts of our nervous system working together smoothly.
02:30In this process, we see more than 100 million tiny sperm from our father, searching for an egg from our mother.
02:42But only one special sperm and one special egg begins a new life in the mother's womb,
02:51where everything, like the body and brain, starts forming in just the right way.
02:57It grows in the mother's womb until it is ready to come out as a baby.
03:04Even after we are born, we have special natural food from our mother,
03:10which protects us from illnesses and helps us grow little by little.
03:16This is all part of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's plan as our creator, guardian and protector.
03:25If Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala can do all of this to create us and take care of us throughout our lives,
03:33doesn't it make sense that He can bring us back to life after we die?
03:38Of course He can!
03:40Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, who controls the whole universe,
03:45can easily bring us back to life on the day of judgment.
03:49On judgment day, everything that was hidden will be out in the open.
03:56Not only will our actions be looked at, but also the reasons behind them.
04:03We will see the effects of those actions on this world.
04:08Like planting a seed, we might not see the tree right away.
04:12But eventually, it grows and affects everything around it.
04:18So, on judgment day, we will be surprised to see the full impact of what we did,
04:25both good and bad.
04:27We will not be able to deny or make excuses for our actions.
04:33On the day of judgment, nobody can help us avoid the punishments from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
04:40if we've done bad things.
04:42The only thing that can protect us is having true faith in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
04:49and doing good things.
04:51Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala created a scientific system like the water cycle
04:57to send rain from the sky again and again.
05:01When water comes to the ground, it helps seed grow
05:04and makes the earth crack open to give life to new plants.
05:08It's like the earth is giving birth to plants.
05:12And this process shows us how life keeps renewing itself.
05:17Just like rain brings life to the earth,
05:20Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's Quran brings life to our hearts.
05:25As rain helps plants grow, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's guidance helps us become better people.
05:33Because the Quran is not just an ordinary book.
05:37If someone doesn't take the Quran seriously,
05:40they will be in big trouble on the day of judgment.
05:45The Quran has the power to guide us to live a beautiful life in this world
05:51and bring peace to our society.
05:54But unfortunately, bad people do not like spreading peace.
05:59For example, in Mecca, when Prophet Muhammad spread Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's message
06:08through the Quran, the disbelievers tried to stop people from listening.
06:14They made up all kinds of lies and tried to make people doubt the Prophet and the Quran.
06:21They did this to keep everyone in the dark about the truth and stop them from accepting Islam.
06:30Allah told the Prophet to be patient.
06:33Even though they were making evil plans, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala had his own plans.
06:41In the end, the disbelievers failed and the light of the Quran, which they tried so hard to stop,
06:49spread all over the world.
06:52And even today, it continues to reach more people.
06:57This reminds us that even when things seem tough, we should trust Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
07:05be patient and know that He is always in control and is the best planner.
