00:00Quran journey, Quran journey, let's understand the words and gain the knowledge from the Quran journey.
00:15Surat al-Fajr, The Dawn
00:18When Muhammad ﷺ started to spread Islam openly,
00:24the bad Quraysh leaders and rich people started to give a hard time to the new Muslims.
00:32To warn them, Allah ﷻ sent Surat al-Fajr with some examples of powerful bad civilizations
00:41who were destroyed by Allah ﷻ.
00:45Allah ﷻ starts Surat al-Fajr by taking an oath of the dawn or really, really early morning.
00:54Also, different parts of the month, even and odd numbers, and night turning into day.
01:02For wise people, these are good examples of how everything in this world works perfectly.
01:10Just like how the sun rises in the morning and sets at night, and how we can tell what day it is.
01:18Smart people understand that there must be a God who is in charge of everything.
01:26Allah ﷻ mentions different groups of bad people from our history.
01:33Some groups of people behaved well and were successful,
01:38while others were not so good and ended up in trouble.
01:45Here, we can learn the mistakes and successes from history.
01:50Allah ﷻ mentions the people of Aad who lived in the hills.
01:57They were physically well built and well known for their tall building construction with big towers.
02:08Among all the nations, they were very powerful and wealthy, which unfortunately made them arrogant.
02:17They worshipped their stone idols and they did not believe in the day of judgment.
02:25To guide those people, Allah ﷻ sent Prophet Hud ,
02:32but they did not believe Prophet Hud ,
02:36and kept doing all of their bad actions.
02:39So, Allah ﷻ decided to punish all the bad people.
02:46As a punishment, there was no rain.
02:50So, a terrible drought spread all throughout the land.
02:58Then, finally, a very heavy sandstorm killed all the disbelievers.
03:06For more details of this story, you can watch our Prophet story episode of Prophet Hud .
03:15Now, unfortunately, some people still do not learn from history.
03:20The people of Thamud also rejected Allah ﷻ and their Prophet Salih ﷺ's advice.
03:30Allah ﷻ made them the first nation in history who cut rocks to build their houses.
03:38Another example is that Allah ﷻ made Pharaoh or Fir'aun a very powerful king in history.
03:47He had a very large and strong army.
03:51But, after getting Allah ﷻ's blessing, they became very arrogant
03:59and broke Allah ﷻ's law and orders to destroy the peace with their people.
04:07So, basically, all the bad people spread crimes in their community.
04:14They thought nobody was watching them.
04:17But, they forgot that Allah ﷻ is keeping an eye on everything at all times.
04:26When the bad people cross a limit and go too far, Allah ﷻ attacks them with a big punishment.
04:38Bad people are very ungrateful to Allah ﷻ.
04:43When they have money, fancy things, and power, they feel really proud.
04:51They think they have special blessings and honor from God.
04:55But, when they don't get what they want, they feel humiliated and blame God.
05:03They think that money and power makes them important.
05:08But, they do not realize that everything they have is actually a test from the one and only God,
05:18Allah ﷻ made the people of Aad, Thamud, and Pharaoh very powerful to see if they would become
05:30grateful to God and how they would use their wealth and power.
05:36And, if some people are not so lucky with money, it is still a test to see if they will be patient
05:45with Allah ﷻ. Allah ﷻ sees how we treat orphans and poor people.
05:53It is our duty to help them with our money and wealth.
05:58But, the bad people are very greedy to become even more rich.
06:04Some of them don't even have respect for the dead people and their families.
06:11They are greedy to grab the dead person's assets and money so that they can become more rich.
06:19They think that there will be no effect for their bad action.
06:23But, Allah ﷻ will not let them go that easily.
06:29All of their good and bad actions will be judged on the day of judgment.
06:34And, that day is real and it will happen at the right time.
06:40To prepare for that day, Allah ﷻ will destroy this world into powder.
06:48On the day of judgment, they will see the Almighty Allah ﷻ and angels who will wait with discipline.
06:57They will also see the scary hellfire.
07:01And, then they will realize that the day of judgment is real.
07:06But, it will be too late.
07:09There will be no hope and way to save them except with Allah ﷻ's mercy.
07:17They will start to cry out of fear and will be sorry for their bad actions.
07:24They will wish that they did more good jobs in this world.
07:30On that day, Allah ﷻ will be very angry with the bad people and tie them very tightly
07:39to throw them into the hellfire with extreme punishment.
07:43But, Allah ﷻ will be very happy for the good people who followed Allah ﷻ's law and order, the Holy Qur'an.
07:57And, He will send their souls to paradise where they will live happily forever.
