[0:00]um so as I'm talking you guys can spend the time thinking

[0:04]and not paying attention to what I'm saying so it works out

[0:07]well some of you might be celebrating aid on Sunday depends on

[0:14]which manager you are following and some of you may be celebrating

[0:22]it on Monday so Sunday night for some of you would be

[0:25]the day over 8:00 in the evening and some of you would

[0:31]be the eve of Eid so the question that I have for

[0:37]you given that we're such democratic country and we love democracy is

[0:40]for you guys to think about whether or not you want to

[0:43]have a lecture on Sunday night so think about it and then

[0:48]let me know at the end of the lecture Shalvis I spent

[0:51]the whole time I'm talking you just think whether you want to

[0:54]have a lecture on Sunday night or you don't want to have

[0:57]a lecture on Sunday night so as I'm talking I'll see some

[0:59]coins being tossed I'll see some things maybe somebody will pull out

[1:03]the Quran making a Sahaba you know maybe it's different ways that

[1:08]you guys make up your decisions but inshallah by the end of

[1:12]the talk we'll make a quick survey yes and thank you just

[1:15]to bribe me to stay on Sunday thanks yeah okay all right

[1:20]all right so it's by the end of the talk tonight we

[1:23]need to decide if we decide that we don't want to have

[1:28]a lecture on Sunday then I will make sure that I wrap

[1:32]up my whole discussion by tomorrow if we are going to have

[1:34]a lecture then that gives me an extra day so I know

[1:38]how to adjust my speed and my discussion so just let me

[1:41]know by the end insha'Allah so we can kind of think about

[4:19]be huh oh so the unknown Eileen la même Solana Muhammad Ali

[4:26]Mohammed okay so we have been discussing the journeys of the whole

[4:37]nine the Quran speaks of three journeys we spoke about his first

[4:41]journey to the west then his second journey to the east and

[4:51]now his third journey on his third journey he arrives somewhere in

[4:57]the middle here we don't know exactly where this is not the

[5:00]West anymore it's not the Far East anymore somewhere in the middle

[5:07]now apparently it's some place which has mountains so he comes to

[5:14]a mountainous terrain and from the ayat of the Quran it appears

[5:19]there two major mountains Allah says Timaeus Ababa after he went far

[5:27]east and he met those people who are living a very primitive

[5:31]life he taught them he educated them and then he moved on

[5:34]he continued he moved remember Allah subhana WA Ta'ala had taught the

[5:44]bog nine the means of everything so he knew how to travel

[5:49]and his travel was quick somehow he travels Allah says hat Isabella

[5:55]cabinas said Dane until he comes between the two the words used

[6:02]in the Quran is two dams said means dam however it's not

[6:04]referring to a dam a mountain here is what is referred to

[6:06]because a mountain sometimes you know acts as a dam a barrier

[6:12]so it's a barrier so he comes between the two barriers at

[6:15]Bella Davina's said Dane so he comes between the two barriers two

[6:19]mountains what did he find Roger de Mendoza Hima OMA liya Cardona

[6:27]of Kahuna Cola group of people there as well so some people

[6:31]who are living there and he was curious about those people these

[6:40]people were a bit different apparently they were not as primitive as

[6:48]the previous people whom he met however he had difficulty communicating with

[6:57]them either because they were simple and so they did not understand

[7:03]the language or their language was just difficult or something that is

[7:07]not very well known not among the well known languages of his

[7:10]time so he had a difficulty communicating with them you know sometimes

[7:17]depending on the language you speak even if you speak English sometimes

[7:24]if you speak a sophisticated language that people don't understand they won't

[7:28]have a clue what you're talking about even though you speak English

[7:30]I remember when we were doing you know when I was doing

[7:35]my PhD in chemistry we were invited once to go to a

[7:38]talk presented by a physicist and the talk was discussing the nuclear

[7:43]reactions that are happening on the Sun you know the Sun has

[7:49]some nuclear reactions that take place so a bunch of us you

[7:52]know we're graduate students PhD candidates we went there and we started

[7:54]listening to the talk at the end of the talk we came

[7:57]out and some of my colleagues were looking at each other's like

[7:59]did you understand a word what this guy was talking about and

[8:03]they were like you know well it was a you know you

[8:07]had to pay attention to quite understand what this guy was talking

[8:10]about what the presenter you know we're chemists these guys and physicists

[8:13]although we're all scientists but the language language is different so sometimes

[8:18]you might speak the same language but if it's at a higher

[8:21]level then the opposite may not understand what you're talking about if

[8:26]they don't have that qualification so it was either one of those

[8:32]cases where maybe they just didn't understand what the line was talking

[8:36]about because the language was his language was a bit so sophisticated

[8:38]for them or it may be because it was just a unique

[8:44]language you know a region that spoke a specific language it was

[8:47]not a popular language you know one of those reasons God knows

[8:53]nonetheless one tells us he comes to this place between two mountains

[8:57]group of people and they don't understand what he speaks but somehow

[9:01]they managed to communicate sign language maybe interpreter translator somehow not only

[9:10]this apparently those people recognized the pug name they knew of him

[9:14]because when they saw him they asked him they started asking him

[9:21]a favor or quest what do they need what do they ask

[9:28]all ouya del canaan they said del canaan we have a problem

[9:29]what is your problem there is a community out there there's a

[9:36]group out there they called here George and Matt George who are

[9:40]you jujin Matt Jude we'll discuss that briefly later there's that community

[9:45]out there a group out there okay what's a problem well those

[9:53]people are troublemakers what do they do in the juju I'm juju

[9:56]Moxie do Novell Adam they cost corruption the troublemakers apparently these guys

[10:06]like I said they were not very primitive they had some sort

[10:14]of trade some sort of economics system maybe they had an agricultural

[10:21]system maybe they were farmers so they said to the hog nein

[10:23]this group of people jujin met Jews they come to us and

[10:29]they cause corruption they steal our wealth sometimes they kill some of

[10:35]our our men they distress us and they run away and then

[10:40]we try to rebuild and then guess what they come back again

[10:44]and they cause us a lot of headache we are in constant

[10:50]fear and when you are in constant fear you cannot progress you

[10:54]cannot move forward I'll come to that in Sharla we'll go through

[10:58]the story and then we'll stop on some of the comments inshallah

[11:04]so we are living in constant fear so what do you want

[11:07]here's what they asked for for Helena Holika Hagen Allah and touch-a

[11:12]Lebanon Albania home set da here is this something interesting how about

[11:18]this we're gonna hire you we'll pay you how about if we

[11:22]pay you in exchange of you creating damn this time they ask

[11:28]for a damn a barrier some kind of a dam some kind

[11:30]of a barrier between them and between us now that's quite interesting

[11:36]it means this group of people they were a bit more developed

[11:41]than the primitive people they they hire what we call today consultants

[11:43]in a consultant will hire you and will pay you for it

[11:49]so they had that kind of understanding they had that kind of

[11:53]knowledge where we will hire you to do some work for us

[11:57]and we'll pay you we'll give you money for it or a

[11:59]construction worker you know we need some construction here so you consult

[12:06]us you built for us and we'll reimburse you how about that

[12:08]so they trying to make a trade here some trade so this

[12:13]indicates these people were not very primitive they had some kind of

[12:18]understanding some kind of financial systems etc okay so what was his

[12:24]response he responded hola mama can Neifi here a behavior he said

[12:32]what Allah has given me is much better than what you guys

[12:34]are planning to give me I don't need your money whatever you

[12:38]give me Allah subhana WA Ta'ala has given me for our much

[12:41]greater than what you are Allah says in the Quran earlier on

[12:46]and nomicon Allah who fell out of we enabled him on the

[12:47]land Allah has taught him all the resources if he needs gold

[12:51]he know he knows where to find the gold he knows where

[12:52]to find the silver you knows where to find the diamond Allah

[12:56]gave him that ability not only that Allah showed him the means

[12:59]not only does he have the knowledge you also have the knowledge

[13:03]of how to get them out how to use them how to

[13:04]utilize them so whatever you guys are offering me I don't needed

[13:08]Alabama can mean fee here upbeat hyah Allah subhana WA Ta'ala has

[13:14]given me share has give me lots of good things I don't

[13:16]need that however what I really need of you guys okay I

[13:22]accept I will help you but there's something you need to provide

[13:26]me with what is it you need Oh agile by Nicole Medina

[13:31]home or edema you need to help me I need the manpower

[13:37]I need your support if you guys are willing to invest time

[13:40]support me help me I can help you as well Allah says

[13:47]another part in the Quran in Allah hallelujah Omaha woman hacked a

[13:51]yo-yo ma be and foster him Allah does not change the state

[13:56]of a community unless they change from within themselves if you guys

[14:01]are willing to change such that you are united you're working together

[14:05]you help me you follow my instructions you follow my leadership then

[14:10]I will help you not just building a dam they asked for

[14:15]I said that's what they use said Doug said da means a

[14:21]dam you know a barrier he replied he said I'm not only

[14:22]will I build you a said he said I will build you

[14:25]a baina home a gradma at random we have said which is

[14:31]a barrier add an algorithm which is a very well made barrier

[14:35]something that is even beyond what you've asked for beyond your expectations

[14:39]I'm gonna build you something which is going to last good material

[14:44]it's like okay great mashallah all right but that's the deal you

[14:52]have to help me you have to work with me we have

[14:53]to work together we have to be united by myself it's going

[14:58]to be difficult are you guys willing apparently they accepted apparently apparently

[15:03]they accepted the deal they were going to help him in exchange

[15:09]he will help them so this indicates brothers and sisters going back

[15:14]if you remember what I said yesterday that most of the teachings

[15:17]that the theory that we have most of the teachings and the

[15:20]developments and humans over the centuries and over the world I know

[15:25]that millennia came through prophetic revelations or from divine individuals like this

[15:31]man these people apparently they had some understanding of trade maybe agriculture

[15:36]but they just did not know what to do here that knowledge

[15:40]to build that dam to build a wall a big wall was

[15:46]not there and apparently this man who wants to build a wall

[15:49]between the two countries your country and other country you know he

[15:53]may be needing some help from this guy the Canaan hopefully to

[15:58]help him how to figure it out all right so we need

[16:04]that wall although these guys were you know building it for a

[16:07]real reason a genuine reason that's why the good King was helping

[16:09]them out now look at it okay remember this is we're talking

[16:16]you know at the earliest we said who they'll call main was

[16:19]all these series if you remember we discussed who the Canaan was

[16:22]few years a few weeks ago one of them was that he

[16:26]was maybe Cyrus the Great of the Persian the Persian king Cyrus

[16:31]the Great if that were the case then it means it was

[16:34]550 BC so we're talking about 2500 years ago 2500 years ago

[16:38]at the at the earliest if not earlier so 2500 years ago

[16:42]well let's look at the solution that the cognate presented What did

[16:47]he say a tuna Zuba al-hadid I need ayran ayran not just

[16:56]iron I need iron blocks good lord where do you even find

[16:59]iron where do we find iron blocks I will teach you so

[17:03]he told them you go to this mountain remember Allah taught him

[17:06]a logic ated him so Allah know he knows he said you

[17:10]go to this mountain you dig the mountain you start mining we

[17:13]need to mine for what Iren that's what we need to mine

[17:19]for so they started mining apparently that's another's you know indication that

[17:24]these people did not live a primitive life apparently they had tools

[17:29]they had some tools with which they could mine so or maybe

[17:32]he helped them develop even better tools that's possible as well they

[17:39]come and they start breaking the rocks and mining and they started

[17:43]digging for iron and as we said yesterday maybe that was how

[17:47]human being discovered how he can discover even more of the minerals

[17:54]on the earth he could dig for them he can mind them

[17:56]there are some minerals which are hidden in the ground so maybe

[18:01]that's one of the ways a law alum God knows again so

[18:03]they start digging they start bringing to him the iron and he

[18:09]starts shaping it well how did he start shaping iron what what

[18:11]did they do today to iron in order to make it onto

[18:15]all these blocks and what do they do to it melted exactly

[18:17]apparently that's what he did so he says bring me the iron

[18:23]iron blocks what did he do Hatta ada Sawa they in asada

[18:28]Fane Island for who he brings two pieces of iron blocks puts

[18:32]them together and then he says blow so they were not blowing

[18:36]apparently they developed these blowers you know you know these old blowers

[18:42]so he said now stop blowing so they started blowing now the

[18:46]fire started to ignite the heat started to grow and then Allahu

[18:51]Nara until he made it into fire as he molted that iron

[18:56]started melting that's how we started shaping it so this is what

[18:59]2,500 years ago so imagine we're talking about some pretty good technology

[19:03]here back then and that's where again I go back to my

[19:09]theory suggesting that this technology this understanding the human development yes Allah

[19:13]gave the human the mind the Apple but in addition to the

[19:18]apple the Apple is not enough the mind is not enough for

[19:20]the human to advance by itself you need to have the background

[19:26]there has to be some background that background that spark that illumination

[19:31]comes from allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala another proof for this another suggestion for

[19:37]this from the Quran is what is the first solar that was

[19:39]revealed to the to our prophet you guys you guys know that

[19:45]what is the first surah huh so until Alec what is the

[19:48]beginning of so Alec what does Allah say bismillah menorah Haim what

[19:54]after ladies no better than you guys all us will live you

[20:00]know you embarrass us you guys you you know Allah Allah read

[20:03]in the name of your Lord who created this miracle any shallop

[20:09]created the human from a zygote a local and Sangamon Allah after

[20:14]a book al Akram read and your Lord is the Honorable and

[20:20]then the next two verses are important Alevi ulema LM the one

[20:24]who taught with the pen or the writing instrument the writing instrument

[20:28]you remember last night I said the first person to be seen

[20:33]writing was food you remember prophet at least alayhi s-salam exactly profited

[20:37]Wiis was the first to be seen writing with an instrument apparently

[20:40]was writing and maybe that's how humanity learned how to write Allah

[20:44]says he taught he taught the human how to write a lemma

[20:50]belkalem and then the next verse a lemon in sana my lam

[20:52]ya'lam he taught the human what he did not know what the

[20:57]human did not know so Allah taught the human that teaching which

[21:00]means that after the mind itself is not enough you may have

[21:05]a very smart individual extremely you know very smart but if this

[21:08]person never goes to school never becomes educated it is difficult for

[21:13]such a person who even though he may be smart difficult for

[21:17]such a person for example to build a high-rise he doesn't have

[21:21]the knowledge but if he goes to study engineering for example he

[21:27]learns he learns the keys how to unlock then yes then he

[21:29]has the basis he has a foundation and that's where he can

[21:32]become creative that's why you find some engineers who are extremely intelligent

[21:35]or some architects who can make you a beautiful design they have

[21:41]the background and they have the intellect so they put them together

[21:46]and now they start to produce wonders so going back here back

[21:49]in those days this group of people or this group of people

[21:55]although they were smart apparently at least more advanced than the previous

[21:58]group there were more advanced than those guys however they still had

[22:04]no eye this was something beyond their mind and intellect how to

[22:09]dig for ayran how to get it out how to mine it

[22:15]how to get it you know shaped into blocks blow it up

[22:18]you know blow it for example heat it up melt it so

[22:22]that was something beyond them and that's how he managed to build

[22:24]this dam so he made it all out of ayran so there

[22:30]were two mountains apparently and there was a space between these two

[22:33]mountains what they'll pagina in did as he filled this space with

[22:42]a wall a metal wall now what happens to iron if you

[22:46]leave it out there in the exposed to air for some time

[22:52]it's rusted exactly so if the colony just leaves it as is

[22:58]what's going to happen to this wall sooner or later is going

[23:00]to get rusted and once it gets rusted is going to become

[23:05]weaker and guess what this group will come and they will punch

[23:06]it or make hole in it and the whole thing will collapse

[23:08]correct what did he tell them I'm going to make do you

[23:14]remember what did he say I'm gonna make you what a well

[23:18]made so would this be considered well made this is a job

[23:22]well done no so he would not be satisfied with this and

[23:25]this is another beautiful lesson when you make something you make it

[23:28]well that's why there is a hadith that says Rahim Elohim were

[23:32]in a Mila a melon at Cana may Allah have mercy on

[23:34]one who makes a good action makes some job but does it

[23:39]well you don't hire a contractor and he just takes your money

[23:42]and he makes short cuts a week to after he leaves the

[23:49]roof collapses what happened oh no yeah whatever call your insurance company

[23:53]and he runs away you know make it well do it well

[23:56]okay that's important so what did he do then well what did

[24:03]the Canaan do well let's read haataja Sawa by now sada FA

[24:07]now when he puts the two blocks together like he puts blocks

[24:12]together they melt them together then what happened after melting them shaping

[24:16]it what did he do hot either Jahanara when he makes it

[24:21]fire you know line now that he's heated it up what did

[24:26]he do then Allah to knee off with Ali hit a paw

[24:28]bring me copper copper so that's something interesting so not only did

[24:36]they mine ayran they also mind what copper well that's quite interesting

[24:44]so he took copper and he put it over the whole thing

[24:50]so now you have something which is well protected well made the

[24:55]iron is not exposed anymore the iron is all filled up with

[25:01]the copper so even if there were any holes in the process

[25:06]of building the iron if there were any small defects here and

[25:09]there that whole copper now has just malted you know melted on

[25:14]top of it and it's just now filled it all up well

[25:19]and that protects the iron from rusting genius isn't it you know

[25:25]2500 years ago at least at least quite amazing did it work

[25:29]well Quran tells us apparently jujin ma'juj this community this group comes

[25:35]they come to attack and interestingly here he did not just build

[25:39]it and say my Salama by by Qaddafi's i'll see you later

[25:44]guys no he actually waited he wanted to test it he wanted

[25:49]to see did it work so even though he has his army

[25:51]as backup remember the guy was a king and he had an

[25:55]army with him so he had his army as backup he wanted

[25:58]to see did this stand the test so he waits he waits

[26:01]until the attackers come they come now can they conquer it Allah

[26:11]says Thomas Paro yahoooo mustafa ala Hunico be' they were shocked jujin

[26:17]met jewish that community the corrupters the oppressors the troublemakers they had

[26:25]never seen something like this before huge wall they could not climb

[26:29]over it to us - hi + it did not have anything

[26:35]for you to grab on to climb so they couldn't go over

[26:40]it no were they able to break it they tried with their

[26:44]you know whatever tools they had they try to break the wall

[26:47]nothing it's a solid wall maybe your president might be listening to

[26:55]figure out how to build a solid wall you know that could

[27:01]not be you know top on table with people and breaking it

[27:07]so it worked from a star oh so he waited and it

[27:10]succeeded perfect these guys cannot come can i they cannot climb over

[27:19]it nor can they break it well done from a star or

[27:21]a Yahoo they were not able to climb over it one estaba

[27:25]Ola wound up about they were not able to break it so

[27:31]he built a very well structure okay then after looking at all

[27:36]this now it's important here is an important lesson sometimes when we

[27:42]look at some of our accomplishments you know sometimes we might forget

[27:47]to thank Allah subhana WA Ta'ala I don't know if you ever

[27:52]heard people I have I have heard people who say you know

[27:54]I I own I made myself by myself nobody ever helped me

[28:01]I did everything by myself on my own to such people I

[28:04]think I say you know I would want to say usually really

[28:07]all by yourself you think Allah did not help you in any

[28:13]way shape or form Allah did not assist you when people say

[28:16]that they're really not recognizing the greatness of Allah they're not being

[28:21]grateful to allah subhanahu wata'ala so sometimes people become arrogant here to

[28:29]show how good of a believer Delp ugh nein was how a

[28:35]good man he was after seeing his accomplishment he just made this

[28:39]whole wall successfully they were not able to go over it then

[28:46]he says ha ha da rahmatan min Robbie this is from Allah's

[28:49]mercy this is from a las merci in other words I would

[28:55]not have been able to do this on my own on my

[28:58]own I couldn't have done this Allah subhana WA Ta'ala who gave

[29:01]me the knowledge he gave me the tools the ability to make

[29:04]something like this and you see how strong this wall is how

[29:12]solid it is well guess what when the day of judgement comes

[29:15]this world would just shatter whenever Allah who wants this world to

[29:20]shatter it will shatter now it's strong but at some point this

[29:28]wall could just disappear altogether colorada Rama Tamara be FEA Durga I

[29:35]adore BJ Allah who the car when Allah when my Lord's promise

[29:39]comes is fulfilled whatever the promise is here different connotation but nonetheless

[29:49]different interpretation Allah will destroy it what car door B ha ha

[29:54]and the promise of my lord is the truth is this promise

[29:57]referring to whenever Allah subhana WA Ta'ala has dictated this wall to

[30:04]stay up for example for example Allah may have dictated this wall

[30:08]will remain for a thousand years for example after a thousand years

[30:11]this wall is going to come down if that's what Allah subhana

[30:13]WA Ta'ala has dictated that's what's going to happen so this world

[30:19]will remain until Allah subhana WA Ta'ala decided you know whatever length

[30:23]of time Allah has dictated for this wall to remain oh it

[30:26]could mean until the day of judgement that's another possibility what do

[30:30]I be you know the promise of a lot could be the

[30:33]day of judgement that's what or it could be until the time

[30:35]of the reappearance of the Imam agile allahu ta'ala for jihad shelleyf

[30:38]the time of his reappearance that could be the time when is

[30:44]the promise of Allah subhana WA Ta'ala because Allah says in a

[30:46]different eye in the Quran o Allah Allah Dina Amin Amin come

[30:51]Allah has promised those who have believed in so at the noon

[30:54]verse number 55 that's a good verse brothers and sisters true remember

[30:57]the other day I asked you to remember I had to cut

[31:01]here the the ayah of purification and the Maoridom law that was

[31:05]so at number 33 verse 33 this one remembers so at 24

[31:09]so at a noon easy to remember so to know the light

[31:13]so at an old verse five five you know five five easy

[31:16]fifty-five that's Allah that is important it's one of the verses in

[31:20]the Quran where all Muslims Shia Anson agree that it is about

[31:27]Imam al-mahdi ailment of agile Allah Ta'ala for John Sharif that were

[31:30]Allah subhana WA Ta'ala is promising the believers that there will be

[31:34]a time when their religion will prevail and even Sunni commentators one

[31:38]of them is even Oh Cathy yep no Cathy was one of

[31:42]the big so many commentators says this ayah is referring to al-mehdi

[31:45]al-mehdi hero issue is the word al Mahadi the one whom the

[31:52]Prophet has mentioned about him that he will come at the end

[31:54]of time to fold this earth with justice the way it will

[31:59]be filled with what corruption tyranny and oppression so that ayah is

[32:03]agreed upon by both she and Sunni commentators so it's one of

[32:07]the proofs someone asks you where is the proof that there is

[32:10]an imam mehdi ali as salam he will come back at the

[32:14]end of time you tell them well here's one one of the

[32:15]proofs were many but at least this is one of them that

[32:19]you can show to them from the quran okay so allah has

[32:21]promised the believers so this could be the promise so the promise

[32:27]could be one interpretation whatever time allah has dictated for that wall

[32:32]to survive the promise could be the day of judgment the promise

[32:38]could be the return of the imam until allah - allah for

[32:40]jihad surely Allah knows best all right so knowing all this now

[32:48]the question comes where is this damn where is it belt built

[32:52]where did it go again there are many theories out there many

[32:55]theories some the commentators say this could be the Great Wall of

[33:00]China but do you think the description here fits the description of

[33:03]the Great Wall of China what is the Great Wall of China

[33:09]made of stones exactly is it made of Iren and copper no

[33:13]so apparently that does not really match the description others said it

[33:18]could be the dam the dam that was built to stop the

[33:24]flood of water in Yemen in Yemen it's called the dam of

[33:27]Magadh Marin but again that dam the purpose of that dam is

[33:34]to stop what water that there is the purpose of this dam

[33:36]to stop water No so apparently that purpose is not the same

[33:41]purpose so it may not be that Dam okay well where is

[33:49]it some commentators suggest maybe maybe upon some research in today's map

[33:58]on today's map there is a country called Georgia there's a country

[34:03]called Georgia today and Russia between Georgia and Russia right at the

[34:08]borders between Georgia and Russia there is a small Gorge you know

[34:11]a small opening between two mountains there are two mountains and there's

[34:16]a small opening it's called the gorge of Dario Dario some commentators

[34:21]suggest could be that one that could be it that's where he

[34:29]built that dam why they say there is a river nearby close

[34:33]by that area that's called the Cyrus River Cyrus if the theory

[34:41]is true that the COG 9's Cyrus the Great they said maybe

[34:44]after he built them this dam they named that River after him

[34:47]possibly you know again like I said there's all theories the Quran

[34:54]however did not stress did not mention where this dam is where's

[34:57]it located but rather it's what's important is the lessons we learn

[35:01]from it the lessons we learn from this process so you see

[35:06]here with the journeys of the cognate my brothers and sisters the

[35:11]first journey he went over to the west he saw that there

[35:14]were some tyrants apparently they were the ones who are in power

[35:20]and you had the oppressed the oppressed were the believers the tyrants

[35:23]were the non-believers he came there he established justice he punished oppressors

[35:29]and he made the week become strong not only that he spoke

[35:37]to the weak he educated them he taught them and things worked

[35:40]out well until he basically fixed the problem there he moved from

[35:45]the West all the way to the East he arrived at a

[35:49]group of people who lived a very primitive lifestyle they did not

[35:53]even have homes maybe not even close again he taught them he

[35:59]helped them to build shelters close once they became independent he then

[36:04]fixed their problem and moved on the Quran says he moved on

[36:08]to a third place where apparently he came across people who were

[36:12]not so primitive in their lifestyle although they may have had a

[36:18]unique language that was not very common or maybe their language of

[36:21]the agnya was a bit too sophisticated for them either way although

[36:26]they had some sense of understanding of trade because I said we

[36:30]will pay you we can pay you but they still were unable

[36:34]to deal with a major problem that they had and that was

[36:39]the problem of security they had a problem of security which is

[36:42]a major problem so again the main helped them overcome that problem

[36:46]build them this dam and managed to protect them protect that nation

[36:55]all right who are you Jane met George that's another question because

[37:01]this term jujin jooge also comes up in suet and never L

[37:06]so L AM BIA short LM beer comes twice here we hear

[37:13]about you Jane ma'juj people who are causing corruption and in surah

[37:20]al-anbiya towards the end of time one of the signs of the

[37:25]end of time as there will be also ya Jews and non-jews

[37:31]this kind of group who will also be causing problems so are

[37:34]they a particular nation are they a particular ooop is it just

[37:41]a metaphor for people who cause corruption possible all these are possibilities

[37:47]one possibility one theory people say this group of Eugen George apparently

[37:52]may have come from today what we call the country of Mongolia

[38:01]they came from that region which they say the original region of

[38:05]the Chinese that's what they came from the origins so maybe they

[38:09]belong to that region and there was a tribe who was living

[38:15]in that region who lived the life of invaders any country any

[38:19]area that has wealth they would invade them they would take all

[38:22]their wealth and they would go back that's possible maybe this is

[38:28]what this you know back in those days this is what they

[38:30]belonged to and they were called ya yuge and met Jews a

[38:34]tribe of George and met George Koch and magog you know they

[38:41]have some references also in other scriptures in other works that's possibly

[38:48]that's a possible you know interpretation so does that mean at the

[38:51]end of time there will be troublemakers will be coming from that

[38:54]region as well god knows or it may suggest that know there

[39:00]will be some troublemakers but they're given this term just like these

[39:04]guys who were troublemakers who would come invade your land take all

[39:08]your wealth and run away with it and leave you with nothing

[39:13]there are some other people other imperial powers invaders or maybe not

[39:18]even invaders people who will come to other countries sign a contract

[39:22]deal for 450 billion dollars and sell some fighter jets and fill

[39:26]some you know sell some weapons that's also you know another possibility

[39:29]God knows where people will start causing corruption causing problems so that

[39:35]maybe also as one of the signs of the hereafter so yeah

[39:42]jujin huge could be a group coming from a specific region the

[39:47]northern Chinese region if we may call it that or it could

[39:52]be a reference to a group of people who cause corruption they

[39:56]come they raid they steal your wealth they create a lack of

[40:00]security and they don't keep you in a safe shape vironment so

[40:06]then he helped protect those people from all these problems and all

[40:15]these difficulties so inshallah this now helps us understand hopefully the journey

[40:22]of the canaan we understand now the lane we have some understanding

[40:26]about who he was if you remember we mentioned that in the

[40:28]early days he may have been a lender the great that's one

[40:34]theory but most probably he wasn't because the description of Alexander was

[40:38]does not fit the description of the Cullinane Alexander was not a

[40:45]god-fearing individual like vel Carlene was some people say well he may

[40:50]have been one of the kings of Yemen possibly but the description

[40:54]of the kings of Yemen and the dam that is built in

[40:58]Yemen does not fit the description of the dam here either so

[41:00]that's probably not the case some people suggest that he may have

[41:04]been Cyrus the Great that's a possibility Oh another theory suggests that

[41:10]none of the above it's some other king who may be history

[41:12]did not write about who lived at the time of prophet ibrahim

[41:16]alayhis salaam so we're talking about it early on you know possibly

[41:20]why is he called the cog nine do you remember we gave

[41:22]three reasons there are many reasons of course there are other theories

[41:27]about who the Canaan was by the way we just you know

[41:29]we just mentioned this for for the sake of time do you

[41:32]remember we mentioned three theories why is he called the Ignite do

[41:36]you remember what they were was the first one his horns he

[41:38]may have worn a helmet with two horns possibly another reason is

[41:48]because why he yes he was the one who was hit twice

[41:52]according to the hadith women are ER es Salaam apparently he was

[41:56]a virtuous man a good man he preached to his people his

[41:58]community about Allah they beat him on his head it created a

[42:02]bump once he was kind of recovered he came back and sorry

[42:05]so I did not stop he's insisting to teach people about the

[42:10]truth they beat him again on his head create another bump on

[42:12]his head so he had these couple bumps on his head and

[42:16]hence people started calling him the man with the two horns imam

[42:19]ali saddam suggests this and he says i'm like him you know

[42:24]he was hit once on his head in the battle of al

[42:25]Kondik and the second time by Abdul Rahman animaljam when he was

[42:32]praying so that's another reason a third reason we said maybe because

[42:36]of what I said he ruled over the Horn of the East

[42:41]and the Horn of the West so basically he ruled over the

[42:43]world apparently he got the world under his control these were some

[42:46]of their theories although Iran does not really mention any of the

[42:52]above doesn't doesn't really pay much attention which is it's good to

[42:56]know but this is not really the whole idea this man what's

[42:59]important about him is he was a good man he believed in

[43:03]allah subhanaw taala despite all the powers Allah gave him even though

[43:08]him is what we call today was a superpower he is a

[43:13]superpower I mean the man had a big army he knew ways

[43:14]of getting things done yet he was still very humble very kind

[43:22]always grateful to Allah and that's an important thing for us no

[43:26]matter how much Allah gives you even if you become the best

[43:31]professor in the world you won the Nobel Prize even if you

[43:34]become the wealthiest man in the world or woman even if you

[43:37]you know whatever you make it all the way to the top

[43:39]always remain humble please be humble be grateful to Allah prophet Sulayman

[43:46]alehissalaam the king when he ordered the throne of the queen of

[43:50]yemen to come before him and it was brought in front of

[43:56]him within seconds from yemen to jerusalem he said this is from

[43:59]the grace of my lord hadam and fought Lenape to test me

[44:04]whether I am grateful or ungrateful whomever is grateful he adds is

[44:11]for himself and whoever is ungrateful Allah has needless of people's prayers

[44:18]or help or whatever so that's something important brothers and sisters that's

[44:24]a very important lesson remember a few nights ago I said let

[44:28]us appreciate the beautiful things we have in this world hamdulillah we

[44:32]all have a house we have a roof to cover us when

[44:37]it gets cold that night we can turn on the heater when

[44:39]it gets hot we can turn on the AC or we have

[44:45]fans we have electricity many of us have mobile phones many of

[44:51]us have the luxury of having a tab that you can open

[44:53]and fresh water comes to you many of us have that luxury

[45:01]the blessing of Allah of having parents dinner 8:00 is coming right

[45:04]now and there are millions of children's over the world who don't

[45:08]have a parent a parent who will take them out maybe to

[45:12]have fun on the day of Eid to come and tell them

[45:14]8:00 Mubarak to bring them new clothes to take them out to

[45:19]enjoy the day of a to prepare them you know let's go

[45:21]shopping for Eid do your parents do that for you prepare you

[45:26]for some of that stuff prepare you for the day of Eid

[45:28]that in itself is a blessing a great blessing so go kiss

[45:33]the hands of your parents and say alhamdulillah alhamdulillah that Allah has

[45:37]blessed me with parents there are many people who have no parents

[45:40]unfortunately who've lost their parents and now rate is coming in a

[45:45]couple of days approximately and they have nobody they see other children

[45:48]having fun on the day of Eid their parents are buying them

[45:50]taking them going around with them they have their mothers with them

[45:55]they have their fathers with them but these guys just don't have

[45:59]anybody unfortunately so that's a big name a big blessing we always

[46:01]need to say thank you your Allah alhamdulillah alhamdulillah not just saying

[46:07]alhamdulillah but also to demonstrate it in action demonstrate is in action

[46:13]by going and respecting our parents for example helping those who are

[46:18]in need by showing our humbleness that's a way of gratitude just

[46:23]like the plug 9 despite his accomplishments and his powers he says

[46:28]Haram atonement Robbie this is out of the mercy of Allah son

[46:31]of the mercy Allah I did not do anything on my own

[46:36]I had no powers in addition let us show our gratitude to

[46:40]Allah praying salat on time watching our manners doing things that Allah

[46:47]like brothers and sisters were almost at the end of the holy

[46:51]month of Ramadan you know we just have maybe a couple more

[46:53]days or so please a humble request don't make this holy month

[47:02]of Ramadan and and the day of Eid comes and you guys

[47:04]going back to doing the same thing you were doing before some

[47:09]people on the day of Eid I don't know if you've seen

[47:10]it you know sometimes you go to some of these stores and

[47:14]they have a big poster Eid party I eat concert I eat

[47:17]whatever carnival you know musics are being played you find them sometimes

[47:22]here and there and I think you know sometimes when I read

[47:27]some of these posters say subhanAllah you know is this the way

[47:30]you thank allah subhana wa ta'ala 30 days he blessed you he

[47:35]had mercy on you and on the day of eid you go

[47:36]and disobey him you go back to the same person you were

[47:41]before that's not the way that's not what is the essence of

[47:44]the holy month of ramadan we need to be humble we need

[47:48]to really change ourselves so we still have two more days approximately

[47:51]one or two more days pray to allah for a change and

[47:58]put in the effort to execute that change so these are some

[48:01]of the beautiful lessons we learn from the story of the canaan

[48:06]the man who went to a trip on the east at the

[48:07]west then the east and then somewhere in the middle maybe on

[48:12]the borders of Russia again according to some commentators although the cognate

[48:16]experience many other things on his journey in the hadith of Ahlul

[48:21]Bayt alehissalaam they tell us many other things that happen but the

[48:26]quran concentrates on these three journeys the one on the west the

[48:28]one to the east and the one in the middle somewhere as

[48:31]he was going from west to east and back in the middle

[48:35]he saw a lot of interesting things and he learned a lot

[48:37]of interesting things and that's something also important for us as we

[48:45]go along let us learn let us learn there are a few

[48:47]more lessons and show a lot that we will touch upon and

[48:50]show Allah tomorrow night if Allah gives us Sophia to do so

[53:20]that every night on the start of the holy month of ramadan

[53:26]every night allah subhana wa ta'ala forgives thousands of people every night

[53:32]until the very last night which maybe could be tomorrow night or

[53:39]whomever is among the believers like us insha Allah who may have
