[1:06]respected brothers and sisters as we continue with the exoduses of chapter

[1:15]36 of the quran surat yasin one of the most important surahs

[1:20]of the quran and a surah that is considered to be the

[1:23]heart of the quran because of the great reward in reciting this

[1:32]very important surah that sends so many messages we continue with verse

[1:42]13.

[1:40]of the surah and after in the beginning of the surah after

[1:47]the quran talks about the messengerhood of rasulallah and to prove and

[1:55]affirm that he's a messenger and whether people choose to accept or

[1:58]not that's up to them now allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gives us

[2:03]an example and there are stories in the quran although the quran

[2:09]is not a book of stories there are many stories in the

[2:16]quran and these stories are not for the purpose of entertainment but

[2:20]rather they are for the purpose of education and admonishment so here

[2:25]allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is telling us the story is the people

[2:37]of quraish the people of quraish who rasulullah is a messenger delivering

[2:43]this message to them tell them about about the people of the

[2:47]karya the people of the village who messengers came to this group

[2:55]of people now why does allah subhanahu ta'ala give us several stories

[3:00]in the quran one is to send a message to everyone so

[3:03]that listen to what happened to the people of moses what happened

[3:07]to the people of noah what happened to the people of abraham

[3:10]what happened to the people of all of the prophets so we

[3:14]take a lesson and we don't fall in the same mistakes that

[3:18]those ancient people fell in and second to strengthen the faith and

[3:24]the iman and to encourage to carry on because just as the

[3:32]prophets before you the messengers before you they face struggles in life

[3:35]you are also going to face struggles in life so allah says

[3:45]tell them tell them about the people of the karya the people

[3:52]of the village the people of the city and sometimes karya it

[3:55]is used when it's referring to a people of a village or

[3:59]it's referring to a big city as well for example mecca which

[4:06]was a busy city at that time the quran also refers to

[4:11]it as karya so what methylene the messengers they came to warn

[4:19]to deliver the message of allah to the people of that city

[4:26]now what is the city that the quran is talking about here

[4:30]historians and scholars of the of tafsir of the quran they say

[4:35]this is antioch or current day antartia in turkey it was an

[4:43]ancient roman greek city and the christianity was strong in the city

[4:52]initially now before christianity and monotheism became strong in the city the

[4:59]people of the city used to worship idols so this story that's

[5:07]in surat yasin scholars they say this was either during the time

[5:11]of prophet isa alaihissalam during the time of jesus or there's a

[5:16]different view that says no this happened even before jesus the story

[5:20]took place before the birth of jesus so there are two opinions

[5:26]regarding this but prophets and messengers they came to this group of

[5:34]people methylene we sent to them two messengers they rejected them they

[5:58]called them liars so we sent a third one we sent a

[6:02]third one to reaffirm and to strengthen the message of the first

[6:07]two messengers that came now who are these messengers one opinion says

[6:13]that these were prophets of allah subhanahu ta'ala rasool they were messengers

[6:18]elohim with name we sent to them to fakad they were prophets

[6:25]that came before jesus another opinion says that no these were the

[6:31]disciples of jesus jesus he was in jerusalem and he sends warner's

[6:37]to the city that is nearby this very important city he sends

[6:44]warner so he sends his disciples he sends shamron who is known

[6:50]as peter and johanna who is known as john and later on

[6:56]he sends paul so this is according to one opinion another opinion

[7:00]says that they were messengers before jesus either way we could accept

[7:06]that they were russell they were messengers because either they were messengers

[7:12]from god directly sent to these people they are rusol or they

[7:14]are messengers sent on behalf of jesus which also makes them also

[7:21]makes them messengers so it doesn't contradict the quran so the they

[7:27]go to the people and the people of the city the majority

[7:29]of them are idol worshipers they're all idol worshippers so ibrahim they

[7:42]rejected the first two they rejected the truth so we sent a

[7:49]third one the messengers they tell them we have been sent as

[7:58]messengers from god to deliver a message to you so that you

[8:01]go back to worshiping allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and you don't worship

[8:06]any deity other than allah so here the people of the city

[8:25]they want to reject the messengers so they use a silly excuse

[8:29]and we see this excuse it's been used throughout the quran by

[8:34]those who did not accept the message of the prophets you are

[8:41]human just like us how can you come and tell us to

[8:46]worship allah subhanahu wa ta'ala when you don't have any superpowers when

[8:49]you're a human being just like us let us see a sign

[8:53]that you are strong that you have power that you're that you

[9:01]have authority and this shows the silliness of the people who rejected

[9:05]the messengers they would always ask for a sign as if they

[9:10]had not seen any signs the messengers and the prophets every single

[9:14]one of them when they go to a group of people they

[9:16]would show signs the signs according to the hadith of these two

[9:21]these three prophets was that they would heal the sick just like

[9:25]asa just like jesus they would raise the dead but the people

[9:29]they say no we want we want to see that you have

[9:35]superpowers we want to see that you have strong superpowers and we

[9:39]see the same was said to rasulallah by the people of quraish

[9:44]after they saw the signs from rasulullah they tell him we're not

[10:03]going to accept you except if we see that you're rich you're

[10:07]powerful you have strong authority you're just a normal person living amongst

[10:12]us and similarly the people of nua the people of noor they

[10:16]tell him and we see that your followers they're poor people they're

[10:35]poor people they're following you we want to see if you're truly

[10:40]a messenger then you have to have authority then you have to

[10:42]be rich then you have to be powerful however allah all of

[10:56]the prophets they're human beings they get sick when when people get

[10:59]sick they get injured they die ultimately but in addition to being

[11:05]a human being they are also messengers from allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala and

[11:10]we have a hadith from the imams they were asked why is

[11:14]it that you know the imams they got sick and they died

[11:18]and the prophets they died the imam replies that if the prophets

[11:24]of allah subhanahu ta'ala they had superpowers that people wanted them to

[11:29]see and they don't they do not die and they're living abnor

[11:32]in an abnormal lifestyle where they protect themselves from any injury from

[11:38]any pain then people are going to start worshiping them instead of

[11:42]worshiping allah subhanahu ta'ala so that will defeat the purpose of their

[11:47]message so these people they rejected those prophets they tell them they

[11:54]tell them that kaaluma you are human just like us why should

[12:01]we follow you in anthem they call allah subhanahu ta'ala because they

[12:11]acknowledge that there is a god means no you are not messengers

[12:18]from the rahman you're not messengers from allah but here they they

[12:25]call allah when someone believes that allah subhanahu ta'ala is the merciful

[12:31]then doesn't the merciful send warners and guides to guide me so

[12:37]by default if you believe that allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the

[12:42]merciful then you have to believe in the messengers that allah sent

[12:47]because if he is truly merciful then he is not going to

[12:49]leave us to be misguided he is going to send prophets and

[12:54]messengers to show us the way and the idol worshipers they did

[12:58]not reject allah subhanahu ta'ala no they did believe in god but

[13:01]they associated partners the associated idols with allah subhanahu wa so they

[13:08]rejected the prophets what do the prophets say the prophets they say

[13:13]the messengers they say if you reject that we are messengers allah

[13:22]subhanahu ta'ala knows and acknowledges that we are messengers you reject god

[13:29]is telling us god is affirming that we are the messengers and

[13:36]we have also shown you through the proof we have shown you

[13:41]the signs the clear signs that we are messengers of allah we

[13:48]believe that every prophet every messenger when they go to their people

[13:52]and they have to have a miracle to differentiate themselves from other

[13:57]people otherwise how are people going to believe in them so every

[14:00]messenger had a hajj every messenger had a sign and according to

[14:06]hadith these messengers when they entered into the city one of their

[14:10]sign was that they would heal those who were blind those who

[14:13]were sick those who had problems they would heal them and sometimes

[14:16]they would raise the dead by the permission of allah they did

[14:21]not do anything on their own whatever they did it was by

[14:24]the permission of allah so they've shown the proof and they've come

[14:30]to the people to guide them to show them the right path

[14:35]but what do the people do in return the people of the

[14:41]city they turn the instead of accepting the guidance they resorted to

[14:49]threats and ultimately to to violence towards these messengers of allah subhanahu

[14:54]wa ta'ala become they became very angry and they said indeed we

[15:10]consider you the people they tell the prophets they tell them we

[15:13]consider you a bad omen they say that it stopped raining there

[15:19]was a drought so instead of blaming themselves instead of blaming their

[15:26]own evil actions the wrong that they're doing what did they start

[15:31]doing they started blaming the messengers they started saying what's bad anything

[15:35]bad that's happening to us is because of you because of the

[15:37]messengers that if you don't stop this call where you're telling people

[15:57]to worship only one god then we are going to stone you

[16:03]we're going to stone you to death and from us you will

[16:12]see a painful punishment so this was the reply of the people

[16:18]towards the messengers towards the prophets and all keep in mind that

[16:22]this verse and these surahs are being recited in front of quraish

[16:26]who are also rejecting at least the majority of them in in

[16:31]mecca so this is telling the people of quraish pay attention to

[16:36]this group of people who rejected the messengers the messengers came with

[16:41]signs they rejected them and see what happens to them ultimately so

[16:44]what do the messengers reply the messengers they say your omin the

[16:55]bad omen is with yourselves you're the ones who are causing a

[17:00]bad omen for yourselves you're the ones who are bringing the destruction

[17:03]amongst yourselves and as we reminded you we we were sent to

[17:14]remind you and now you're transgressing is this how you repay us

[17:19]we were sent to guide you to show you the way but

[17:25]you are transgressing we came in to remind you to show you

[17:34]the way but you are transgressing people and this here we see

[17:37]that this is something that happens all the time those who reject

[17:43]the truth once they reject the truth they start blaming all of

[17:47]the bad that has happened in society on the good people and

[17:51]they start hating the messenger that is guiding them that is showing

[17:55]them the way because any time they see the messenger who's showing

[18:01]them the the way they're reminded of their failure and this is

[18:04]what happens a lot of people who are failures in life you

[18:08]see someone who's lazy someone who is unsuccessful in what they're doing

[18:11]when they see a successful person they don't like that person they

[18:14]get uncomfortable why even though the successful person has nothing to do

[18:19]with them they get uncomfortable when they see a successful person because

[18:22]they are reminded of their own failure here the people they did

[18:27]the same thing the prophets and the messengers they were just guiding

[18:30]them they're showing them the way telling them believe in one and

[18:34]only allah they're not asking anything in return from them but they

[18:36]became so upset and they threatened to stone them and they blamed

[18:42]all the bad omens whatever was happening bad they're blaming it on

[18:47]them so the prophets they replied now the surah moves on to

[18:57]bring another character in the story and this was a believer a

[19:05]man who believed in these messengers and these three messengers that were

[19:10]sent he believed in them he was a normal person he believed

[19:13]in them and he tried to bring his community he tried to

[19:18]save his community and have his community believe in these messengers a

[19:33]man came from the end of the city from the outskirts of

[19:39]the city he came rushing telling the people follow these messengers and

[19:43]then he lays down the proof the reasons why they should believe

[19:49]and the messengers so we see that while the majority of the

[19:51]people reject it one person believed and this is also a reminder

[19:55]for the people of quraish just because the believers the menen from

[19:59]quraish are a minority that doesn't mean they're wrong today some people

[20:03]they have the idea that we have to always follow the majority

[20:07]if the majority are doing something then we have to follow it

[20:10]that's not the case if you read the quran you see that

[20:13]always the minority were the believers and the majority a lot of

[20:17]them they were going astray they were going wrong so some people

[20:21]they come and they use this proof all the time oh we're

[20:25]you know with the majority right the bandwagon no we have to

[20:29]use our intellect we have to try to see what we're doing

[20:32]does it make sense does it not make sense and then we

[20:35]carry on so yes the people of antioch they began to harass

[20:43]and abuse the messengers so now someone comes a man comes from

[20:49]the end of the city and this shows us that the that

[20:52]the message of these prophets had reached the whole city where even

[20:57]someone at the end of the city he had heard about them

[21:04]a normal man he wasn't rich he wasn't very powerful he was

[21:08]a normal man and the quran says to show that he was

[21:12]just a normal person and from the normal from a normal person

[21:15]there could be a believer he wasn't rich he wasn't living in

[21:20]the center of town he was probably a poor person living outside

[21:23]of the city but he was guided yes he's coming really quick

[21:30]because now he wants to save the messengers the messengers are being

[21:34]harassed the messengers their lives are threatened with death so he's coming

[21:37]he wants to save them yes he says oh my people oh

[21:45]my home oh my community and this shows that he cares when

[21:49]he says it means that he cares about them follow the mursalien

[21:55]follow the messengers here according to the hadith the name of this

[22:01]man is carpenter and his name is habib so he was a

[22:10]normal person he was a typical person but he believed that's what

[22:16]made him different from everyone in his community he used his intellect

[22:19]he saw that these individuals these messengers they came with signs from

[22:26]allah they with the proof and he followed them and then he

[22:30]tells his people why they should follow them as well he's telling

[22:35]them i followed them he says exactly why it's he says i'll

[22:44]give you two very important reasons why you should follow these messengers

[22:49]the first is it on they're not asking you for anything these

[22:57]messengers they came out of their way they came into your community

[23:00]into your city to teach you they're not asking for anything in

[23:07]return if someone is for anything in return they want power they

[23:11]want position maybe someone might say they have an ulterior motive but

[23:15]these messengers they did not have anything they did not ask people

[23:18]for money they did not ask people for wealth they did not

[23:22]ask for anything and this was how all of the prophets were

[23:24]every single prophet and messenger they go to their people they weren't

[23:28]preaching out of business they weren't treating their their messenger hood their

[23:35]prophethood as a business they weren't making anything they were they were

[23:38]ordered to deliver a message to the people and surat you see

[23:43]five times allah talks about the prophets and repeats this verse all

[23:51]of the prophets they tell their people we're not asking for anything

[23:54]noah he guided his people for over 950 years he tells them

[24:00]i don't want anything from you jesus moses all of the prophets

[24:03]they did not ask for anything in return from the people meaning

[24:10]i don't want anything from you so this is the first sign

[24:13]and if someone is not taking anything from you then that means

[24:18]this person is genuine this person is truly trying to guide you

[24:21]he doesn't want to take anything in return so malayas the second

[24:29]quality is that they are guided people this person is a guided

[24:35]person this person is a person who's successful someone who's not successful

[24:39]someone who's a failure and they're coming and they're telling you do

[24:41]this and do that then you might say this person is trying

[24:44]to mislead me but these prophets they didn't ask for anything in

[24:48]return and they were guided they were good people they were righteous

[24:52]people so they're not wrong meaning that follow them because they're on

[24:57]the right path don't you want to have a good role model

[24:58]don't you want to have someone who is guided someone who knows

[25:02]the right from wrong that you follow this person and he's not

[25:04]asking for anything in return and this is how rasulallah was he

[25:11]didn't ask for anything in return any anything personal and he was

[25:16]guided so the quran is trying to send a message to quraish

[25:17]follow rasulullah you know rasulullah i mean you know rasulallah as a

[25:24]good person a person who he was honest he was truthful he's

[25:31]trustworthy so these are the the first two points where he tries

[25:37]to convince them regarding the messengers they're not asking for anything in

[25:39]return and they're guided and then he moves on to another a

[25:44]third type of argument or a second type of argument about allah

[25:46]he says listen these individuals there's no question mark about them they're

[25:51]not asking for anything in return and they're guided and let's move

[25:54]on to their message what are they asking for you are they

[25:57]telling you to do something that's strange no they're saying when they're

[26:05]they're telling you to worship the one and only allah and let

[26:08]go of the idols and then he says and why should i

[26:18]not believe and worship the one who created me and it is

[26:22]who it is to whom we will all be returned to and

[26:26]you will all be returned to and he's reminding them of the

[26:31]day of judgment he's reminding him of death this is allah subhanahu

[26:34]ta'ala is giving us the words of us a normal person is

[26:42]talking about him because of that stance that he had and then

[26:46]he tells them should i worship idols instead of allah subhanahu wa

[27:04]ta'ala that if the rahman and you had acknowledged earlier that allah

[27:06]subhanahu ta'ala rahman because they said you are not from you are

[27:12]not you are not sent from the rahman and you read if

[27:18]the punishment from the rahman comes the shafa at the intercession of

[27:24]these idols is not going to help me what are these idols

[27:26]going to do for me are they going to be able to

[27:29]save my life are they going to be able to do anything

[27:31]for me no you all know that you created these idols you

[27:34]molded and you put these idols together and you know that they

[27:38]can't help you so if the punishment of god comes down upon

[27:40]us and we're worshiping idols are these idols going to help us

[27:44]no attack and they will not be able to save me and

[28:00]then what will happen to me if i'm worshiping idols and i

[28:04]have not worshipped allah and the punishment of allah subhanahu ta'ala comes

[28:08]upon me and therefore i will be in i will be led

[28:17]astray i will be in the in the manifest error here when

[28:25]he talks about allah he says he says if the rahman wants

[28:33]to punish me what does this mean first of all he's telling

[28:35]them that you believe he's the rahman and he'll send messengers and

[28:41]he'll guide us so follow the rahman second allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

[28:45]his his is forgiving by nature allah is the most forgiving allah

[28:50]does not want to punish anyone but sometimes if we transgress the

[28:55]punishment of allah will come upon us so he says if i

[29:04]if i follow you guys and not the messengers i will be

[29:10]led astray and i will be in the clear and manifest error

[29:16]so they had three messengers come to them they show them proofs

[29:21]they show them signs they rejected them he comes to them and

[29:25]he tries to remind them but they still remain in the wrong

[29:30]so then he says listen i'm going to have to separate myself

[29:34]from you i have submitted and believed in your lord become he

[29:47]tells them because allah allah has the lord of all allah is

[29:50]the lord of those who believe in god and those who do

[29:53]not believe in god indeed i have believed in your lord so

[29:59]listen to me listen to me i'm trying to guide you i'm

[30:02]trying to i'm trying to save you i'm trying to protect you

[30:07]listen to these messengers instead of believing in him and believing in

[30:13]the three messengers what did they end up doing they transgressed so

[30:18]far where they ended up killing khabib nadjar according to the hadith

[30:23]they began to stone him to death or they began to beat

[30:25]him to death because they were upset that a person from their

[30:31]community believed in the idols believed in the disbelieved in the idols

[30:34]and began to believe in the messenger and believed in allah subhanahu

[30:39]wa ta'ala then allah subhanahu ta'ala does not talk about how they

[30:48]killed him allah because as soon as a person is shaheed martyred

[31:06]a martyr immediately they go to paradise allah says in other verses

[31:14]in the quran that the shaheed immediately goes to paradise so he

[31:22]goes to paradise to the gardens of paradise now when he enters

[31:30]into paradise what does he say when he enters and he saw

[31:39]the gardens in paradise he said only if my home only if

[31:44]my community were guided by honored me only if my community were

[31:56]here to see this and this shows the good nature of this

[32:02]man and the mutman is good-natured the mutman wants the kher for

[32:05]everyone wants the good for everyone don't say i'm a believer and

[32:09]i only want to go to paradise alone no a believer does

[32:12]not want to go to paradise alone a believer will try to

[32:15]take as many people with them to paradise so even when he

[32:20]enters paradise he says only if my people they knew so that

[32:31]they would have come with me to see this paradise how my

[32:39]lord forgave me and honored and blessed me now insha allah in

[32:45]the next time we continue with this surah we're going to talk

[32:49]about what happened to this people the people of antioch according to

[32:54]the hadith that they are the people of antioch what happened to

[32:58]them because they rejected three of the messengers and they killed a

[33:01]man who was guiding them a man who was showing them the

[33:05]way and we ask allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to bless a
