You're Forgiven,Move On! | That's Messed Up! | Nouman Ali Khan (English)

Salam Alikum wa Rahmatu-Allah, Adullah
 Wa-alikum Assalam

What's going on, man? You wanted to talk to me about one of your friends, or something

Yeah, I was playing ball with a guy

And afterwards, we did the whole Eid Mubarak thing but he felt like he could not even celebrate Eid because he felt like he had done some things in his past and that that had kind of taken him too far and everyone around him was making him feel bad, like there was no hope. I tried to talk to him but at some point I don't know

I meet a lot of these people, but subhanallah
We are far more merciless towards people, and it's ironic, we expect all this mercy from Allah for ourselves and we don't give any of it to people.
So those people mess up, fine
some people do Haram things, some people do like epic,
Super, Extra, Haram squared things

And other people find out about it, and they will say things like
Oh you will never be forgiven, Allah is never going to forgive you, dude!
You, forget it! you are so going to hell!

and that kind of thing, and you hear that enough times, you get guilt-tripped enough times you start believing it. but the problem is if you start believing that you are not going to be forgiven then you really have no motivation left to do anything good in your life
like, why would you
I mean, why would I even pray?
I'm going to go hell anyway!
Why would I care about my parents? why would I speak the truth? why would I stay away from more Haram? it does not matter anymore, anyway
I am already done.
Yeah, just add it on!

you know how much worse can it already get? that kind of a thing so when I try to talk to people about this state which is not something easy to pull out of

so you can give a reminder because Allah said "Remind! remind!
It will have its own benefit. It will give some benefit

But this is something that has be done like, reinforced. That is why "Remind!" is mentioned
you can't just tell someone a good thing once You gotta, like stay with people like that.

like a lot of people say "I watch your videos, I watched that same video like ten times",
I was like "yeah, I hoped that helped" because, somethings you need to hear over and over again you can't just hear it once, right?

One time I was telling somebody to have hope, and I said "let me tell you about Musa (pbuh)
and she stopped me, she goes "No, no, no! but those are prophets!
those are such awesome people!

you know I'm messed up! I made so many mistakes, so give me something I can relate to."

and I was like, "hold on a second, I'm going to tell you about Musa before he was a prophet, not after, but before he was a prophet he kinda, sorta, (pbuh) did mess up, a little bit"
She's like "Whaaatt?!
prophet?! messed up?!"

I said "Yeah, he got upset and he punched a guy and,he kinda died

and then he was wanted for murder in Egypt, and there was an order to kill him on sight, and he had to kinda run away and he was as a fugitive from the law

I mean, I am sure you have done something bad
but murder?
that is pretty big

Is that relevant?! maybe if we can see how he can find hope
maybe we can use that to find hope ourselves

So it is important to know he was not a prophet yet, because if he is a prophet then he talks to Allah and Allah talks to him, yes?
but if he is not a prophet, he talks to Allah but Allah does not yet talk to him, just like us

We talk to Allah all the time, we pray all the time, but Allah does not talk back to us so we ask forgiveness, but we do not get a message from Allah saying you are forgiven, so we do not know where it stands

so now, what is awesome about his story
is that as soon as he punched the guy and he died, and he said that "this is from the work of Satan,
he turned to Allah and said, "Master, I have wronged myself"
he admitted that he did something wrong
"forgive me"
"forgive me" OK
does Allah talk to him? no, because he is not a prophet yet but the Ayah of the Quran says "Therefore, He forgave him"

the Ayah says Therefore, He forgave him", so "forgive me!"

"Therefore, He forgave him"
and the letter "Faa'" in Arabic is for: Therefore (Sababyiah)
It's also for immediacy so therefore he forgave him immediately

And then he says, and you would read that,
and go "wait! just like that?
he killed someone!"
and he didn't, like, grovel and beg for an apology for years and years and years
"Oh Allah, Am I forgiven or not? What's gonna happen?"

He asked Allah immediately sincerely, "I have made a huge mistake, forgive me" and how long before the forgiveness arrives? It's done
and if you are doubting it
the ayah ends 'There is no doubt about it, He is the Extremely Forgiving, always Loving and Merciful"

You can get murder forgiven if it was a sincere mistake and you sincerely turn to Allah
that what happens with Musa (pbuh)

I'm not suggesting somebody go do murder
what I am saying is that, probably your mistake is not that big
it is not that big

You know, killing someone is probably one of the highest sins against humanity,why?
because Allah says "If you killed one person, It is as though you have killed humanity all together"

why is that? I mean, think about the logic behind it.
if you kill one person
that's one person, there is billion of people, so how is it the same as killing all humanity?
imagine someone killed Adam
what happens? there is no humanity left

this person has entire future generation of people under him and all human being are direct descendants of Adam so they have the same status of Adam (pbuh)

So, murder is not a small deal and yet Allah will leave the door open even for that level of crime, imagine!

So there might be somebody, like, one day there is somebody who becomes Muslim who did commit murder, who was in jail or something for committing murder and he's thinking that "Allah will never forgive me"
well, he should read Musa (pbuh) story

you can be as great, I mean,
he is, after being that...
and you know what? every body in Egypt thinks of him as what?
A killer, a criminal, a fugitive

And Allah raises him to the level of a prophet and the most mentioned prophet in the Quran
think about that

To you think you have made a mistake and it is over for you

Yes maybe in the eyes of people, because people are cheap with their forgiveness, Allah is not
Allah gives., HE's just waiting for you to ask genuinely

so, if people just sincerely ask Allah to forgive them, turn around
and by the way he did not ask for forgiveness, he says, and here is the really cool part
so, OK, fine, Allah forgave immediately but I kept saying Allah does not talk to him

so does he know that Allah forgave him?
No. but in the very next Ayah
he says "Master, because the favor you have done to me, I will never back up criminals again"
wait, what favor did Allah do to him?

He just killed somebody, asked for forgiveness because he got conned by the other guy , he backed up the criminal so he punched the wrong guy and now he says
"Because of the favor you did to me, I will never back up a criminal again" so what is the favor? the favor is forgiveness. but then the question is
How does he know about the forgiveness?
Allah does not talk to him, you know what we are learning here?

If you are a sincere believer in Allah, you do not need revelation from Allah, like an angel coming and telling you "you are forgiven"

When you sincerely ask for forgiveness
You should actually have no doubt  whatsoever
That forgiveness came, it is a matter of fact
Tt is not a matter of assumption

Not to a believer and since he is a believer, he does not have to be a prophet to know that, he just knows it subhanallah, so you do not have to like "I wonder if Allah forgave me?"

The only thing you should wonder is was my apology and was my seeking of forgiveness sincere? was it genuine? was it heartfelt? if it was then you have your answer

=Abdullah: and then you still have to deal with the people around

Yeah, you have to deal with the consequences and all of that and that's easy because once you have Allah's forgiveness then Allah makes dealing with the consequences easy because now Allah is on your side

When you have not sought Allah's forgiveness then you do not have Allah on your side because you abandoned HIM

Apologize to HIM first, and then, yes, you will have to deal with the wrong you have done to other people but HE will help you deal with it, HE will help you make right out of the wrong as best you possibly can so people like that should have hope insha'Allah

And you know, be encouraging and kinda slip things here and there. Don't give up on people like that,
and do not let them kinda fade away because usually when they get depressed like that, they stop showing up to play ball or whatever and you do not see then anymore.

And you are like I wonder what happened and you hear even more messed up things about them, you know
so kind of stay in touch, maybe drop a text message kinda reach out to them just every once in a while

You do not have to give them this lecture, you just kind of like just throw in a few good words of encouragement here and there and it will help insha'Allah
Thank you very much.

Assalamu'alaykum semuanya,
Selama Teluk Tour saya menerima beberapa surah, dan ini adalah salah satunya
Saya seorang non muslim yang bekerja di Kuwait selama beberapa tahun dan saya sudah sangat dekat untuk menerima Islam karena saya terkesan oleh rekan muslim yang sangat saleh dan ingin menikah dengannya jadi saya ingin belajar lebih banyak tentang Islam

Orang yang saya sukai ini adalah seorang Pakistan dan untuk mengenal budaya nya saya pun dekat dengan rekan perempuan lain yang muslim yang menikah dengan keluarga Pakistan

Saya sedang belajar tentang Islam dan Al-Quran di mana hak-hak seorang istri yang begitu mengesankan dan penuh kesetaraan tetapi ketika saya melihat kehidupan teman wanita saya, dimana dia diminta untuk melakukan begitu banyak pekerjaan oleh mertuanya dan juga dipaksa oleh suaminya untuk merawat ibu mertuanya dan ibu mertuanya menyiksanya dengan menciptakan banyak pertengkaran antara dia dan suaminya juga saudara iparnya memintanya bekerja seperti layaknya pembantu sepanjang waktu

Suaminya sangat keras dan saya melihat banyak ketidakadilan di mana si suami sering mengancam untuk meninggalkan dia jika dia tidak mendengarkan dan melakukan apa yang inginkan mertua dan iparnya

Jika ini adalah Islam maka saya bingung untuk menjadi seorang muslim, apa saran Anda?

Ini sebenarnya bukan pertama kalinya saya mendapat pertanyaan seperti ini, banyak orang yang bertanya kepada saya yang bertanya tentang hak-hak perempuan terutama yang berkaitan dengan mertua dan ipar. Itu adalah subjek yang rumit tapi saya ingin menjelaskan beberapa hal mendasar agar bisa diapahami oleh semuanya dan untuk saudari yang mengajukan pertanyaan, pertama-tama terima kasih untuk pertanyaan Anda

Karena menurut saya, bukan hanya Anda, tapi juga banyak orang yang dapat mengambil manfaat insya Allahu ta'ala. Hal penting pertama adalah dalam Islam setiap hubungan yang kita miliki dilengkapi dengan hak dan tanggung jawab sehingga sebagai laki-laki misalnya, saya punya kewajiban tertentu kepada istri saya seperti dia juga punya kewajiban tertentu pada saya dan saya juga memiliki kewajiban kepada orang tua saya seperti mereka juga punya kewajiban sebagai orangtua dan mereka juga memiliki hak tertentu yang harus saya penuhi dan demikian juga dengan saya

Sekarang prinsipnya adalah bahwa Anda tidak bisa membiarkan hak siapa pun dalam suatu hubungan, untuk menciptakan ketidakadilan atas hak orang lain

Bagaimana Anda menyeimbangkan semua ini bersama-sama?

Khususnya kita berbicara tentang suami, istri, mertua dan ipar

Bagi saya sebagai anak, saya berutang ketaatan pada orangtuaku, saya wajib menghormati mereka, berbuat baik pada mereka, saya juga berusaha untuk memenuhi apa yang mereka minta kecuali hal-hal yang tidak sesuai dengan ajaran Islam atau mereka meminta saya untuk melanggar perintah Allah, saya pasti akan tolak, Jadi seharusnya saya tidak memiliki keberatan mematuhi mereka dalam setiap hal

Namun berbeda dengan istri saya, istri saya hanya wajib menghormati mereka, dan bersikap santun pada mereka tetapi istri saya tidak memiliki kewajiban untuk taat ,melayani dan mengurusi mereka dan jika saya mengharapkan dari istri saya untuk melayani orang tua saya, itu sebenarnya sebuah ketidakadilan pada istri saya, dia punya kewajiban untuk melayani orangtuanya sendiri, dia punya orang tua sendiri

Sementara ini bukan orangtuanya, ini adalah orang tua Anda

Berbicara fakta, ikatan darah itu berbeda dengan ikatan pernikahan sehingga sebagai suami, anda mengharapkan istri untuk melayani orang tua Anda. Ini sebenarnya bentuk ketidakadilan, dan itu bukan sesuatu yang diizinkan dalam Islam.

Beberapa orang mengatakan, baik Anda harus mematuhi apapun yang dikatakan suami anda, itu tidak sepenuhnya benar. Anda tidak boleh mematuhi siapapun manusianya dengan syarat "Apapun yang dia katakan"

Saya bahkan tidak bisa mematuhi orang tua saya apapun yang mereka katakan jika ayah saya memberitahu saya untuk mengambil pinjaman mahasiswa dengan bunga, saya tidak akan melakukannya. Saya tidak bisa, itu ketidaktaatan kepada Allah. Aku tidak akan melakukannya, karena sebenarnya kadang-kadang Anda harus melakukan ketidaktaatan pada orang tua Anda, jika mereka bersikap tidak masuk akal

Itu harus terjadi kadang-kadang, Anda tahu ayahmu memintamu untuk mengambil pinjaman walaupun itu bukan pinjaman berbasis bunga atau dia mencoba untuk meminta Anda untuk masuk ke bisnis yang Anda tahu itu akan gagal. Anda tahu dengan yakin itu tidak akan berhasil, tapi dia ingin Anda untuk mengambil semua tabungan hidup Anda dan menempatkannya dalam bisnis itu. Jadi Anda tidak mendengarkan Ayah Anda dalam situasi seperti itu

Itu bukan ketidaktaatan kepada ayah Anda, bukan seperti itu bentuk taat pada orang tua

Fakta lainnya, ketaatan kita kepada orang tua kita adalah dalam sultu lingkaran alasan dan tentu saja saat kita tidak mematuhi mereka, Anda tahu, bukan berarti kita di luar batas-batas hormat dalam melayani mereka dan tentu saja bahkan saat mereka meminta hal-hal yang sulit pada kita, kita masih tetap harus mematuhinya bahkan saat mereka  bersikap sangat sulit pada kita. Tetapi saat mereka bersikap sesuatu yang sangat tidak masuk akal, atau akan menempatkan orang lain dalam kesulitan

Contoh kasus yang saya berikan tadi, jika saya mengosongkan semua tabungan saya atau semua aset saya dan memberinya ke bisnis yang mereka inginkan saya ikuti yang saya tahu bisnis itu tidak akan berhasil, hanya karena saya ingin memenuhi permintaan mereka

Maka saya akan menempatkan anak-anak saya dalam kesulitan, saya akan menempatkan istri saya dalam kesulitan, saya akan menempatkan orang lain yang bergantung pada saya dalam kesulitan

Saya tidak bisa melakukan itu, mereka dapat melakukan apapun yang mereka inginkan dengan saya, tetapi mereka tidak bisa membuat saya untuk melakukan ketidakadilan kepada orang lain

itu bukan cara kerjanya, maka jika ada keluarga yang memaksa suami untuk memiliki satu akun rekening dan orang tua yang menjadi co-signer pada akun rekening itu dan istri hanya mendapat sekitar upah 20 jam bekerja setiap minggu atau sesuatu, itu bukan cara kerja yang baik, Anda tidak bisa melakukan itu

Anda saat ini bisa memiliki istri Anda, Anda menikahinya, Anda mengambil dari ayahnya untuk menjadi wali nya dan Anda sekarang memiliki tanggung jawab untuk mengurusnya seperti tanggung jawab ayahnya dulu dan sekarang anda malah memperlakukannya seperti warga kelas dua di dalam rumah atau memperlakukannya seperti pembantu untuk orang tua Anda atau saudara Anda atau orang lain, ini semua benar-benar tidak masuk akal dan konyol sekali

Dan ini adalah salah satu hal yang Anda dan saya akan ditanya tentang pada hari kiamat, namun di sisi lain ada ekstrim yang berbeda, di satu ekstrim Anda telah Anda tahu tentang menantu yang berubah menjadi pembantu yang benar-benar tidak masuk akal dan konyol dan tidak dapat diterima dalam Islam

Namun di sisi lain, Anda memiliki orang-orang yang seorang istri atau bahkan seorang suami yang benar-benar bersikap jahat kepada mertua mereka dan tidak mau berurusan dengan mereka

Aku tidak ingin melihat wajah mereka, aku tidak ingin mereka datang, aku tidak ingin pergi ke rumah ibumu, aku tidak ingin kamu berbicara dengannya sampai kapanpun, aku membencinya, aku tidak tahan dengannya dll

Seseorang yang bersikap sangat jauh secara ekstrim dari keluarga suami Anda

Anda tahu, ini juga merupakan ekstrim, ini adalah bentuk ketidakadilan juga. mereka adalah orang tuanya, mereka memiliki hak atas dirinya. Mereka harus dapat melihat cucu-cucu mereka, mereka harus mampu untuk datang dan tidak khawatir tentang terjadi perkelahian, Anda tahu, Anda sering kali terlihat marah dan tidak suka atas kehadiran mereka, sekarang ketidakadilan justru yang Anda lakukan karena jika Anda mencintai suami Anda, setidaknya Anda harus menunjukkan rasa hormat kepada keluarganya, sopan dan hormat, hanya itu, tapi suami anda tidak bisa memaksa hal ini pada Anda, ini harus datang dari Anda. Sikap hormat dan sopan ini adalah sikap yang harus dimiliki setiap muslim terhadap setiap muslim lainnya, terutama berbicara tentang orang-orang dibawa bersama sebagai keluarga

Anda tahu kita seharusnya menjadi yang terbaik yang kita bisa terhadap anggota keluarga kita, ya komplikasi sering terjadi dan terutama untuk situasi Joint Family (beberapa keluarga tinggal dalam satu rumah), yang tentunya situasi yang sangat rumit

Anda tahu antara budaya lain dan budaya DC pada khususnya ini adalah sesuatu yang kita tekankan, seperti banyak orang yang hidup di bawah satu atap dan Anda tahu keuangan dikontrol oleh orang tua dan Anda tahu putri menantu harus melakukan ini dan itu untuk menjadi istri yang baik dan harus berhadapan dengan banyak hal, kondisi ini tidak sesuai untuk banyak keluarga dan jika memang tidak sesuai, Anda tahu , kaum istri  saya tidak meminta Anda untuk meminta cerai atau sesuatu seperti itu, yang jelas hal seperti ini butuh dibicarakan, karena itu bukan Islam, bahkan jika Anda melakukannya sebagai keputusan keluarga, jangan bersembunyi di balik fakta bahwa ini adalah apa yang Islam inginkan

Itu bukan apa yang diinginkan Islam, itu yang diinginkan keluarga Anda. Itu adalah suatu istilah tertentu yang datangnya harus dari perbincangan sebagai sebuah keluarga

Allah Azza wa Jalla mengatakan "tsumma Latus alunna yaumaidzin 'Anin Na'im (QS.At-takatsur: 8), Anda akan ditanya tentang semua berkah dan ni'mat yang Anda nikmati. Dan istri yang saya miliki, anak-anak yang saya miliki, orang tua yang saya punya, Anda tahu semua berkat yang saat ini saya nikmati

Dan saya lebih baik bersikap dengan baik dan benar pada mereka jadi saya berdoa bahwa ini, Anda tahu, saya berharap setidaknya meredakan beberapa kekhawatiran bahwa ini ada hubungannya dengan Islam, itu sama sekali tidak.

Hal ini berkaitan dengan praktek-praktek budaya dan bagaimana bersikap pada perempuan dengan cara tertentu. Yang mana Quran, kitab Allah, tidak membenarkan hal ini, dan Sunnah saw nabi sungguh tidak membenarkan hal ini

Is Serving In Laws part of Wife's Responsibility in Islam ? Q&A Nouman Ali Khan

Assalamu'alaykum everyone

During the Gulf Tour I receive the number of letters, here is one of them, I'm a non muslim working in Kuwait for few years and I've been very close to accepting Islam as I was impressed by a very pious muslim colleague and wants to marry him so I want to learn more about Islam

The man I like is a Pakistani brother and to know his culture I got close to another muslim female colleague who is married to a Pakistani family, I'm studying about Islam and the Quran where the rights of a wife are so impressive and full of equity, but when I see my female friend's life she is asked to do so much work for her in laws as forced by her husband to take care her mother in law and the mother in law torture her a lot by creating fights between the couple also the sister in laws are expecting her to work like a maid all the time, her husband is very strict and I see a lot of injustice where he threatens her of leaving her if she doesn't listen and do what in laws want

If this is Islam then I'm confuse about becoming a muslim, what's your advice ?

This is actually not the first time I got a question like this one bunch of people who ask me question about the rights of women particularly having to do with in laws

It's a complicated subject but I wanna lay down a couple of basic things for everybody to understand and the sister who ask the question, first of all thank you for your question because it's not just you I think it's others can take benefits Insha Allahu ta'ala

The first thing is in Islam every relationship we have comes with rights and responsibility so as a man for instance, I owe certain obligations to my wife just like she owes me certain obligation and I also owe obligations to my parents just like they owe me, I have certain rights today that I have over them

Now the principle is that you cannot allow anyone relationship's rights to do injustice over anybody else's rights

How do you balance all of this together ? Specifically we're talking about a husband, wife and in laws

For me as a son, I owe my parents' obedience, I owe them respect, I owe them kindness, I owe them anything they ask really unless it's outside of default of Islam or they asking me to disobey Allah, i really don't, should not have any objection of obeying them in every matters however my wife owes them respects, owes them you know common courtesy but does not owes them obedience and me expecting from my wife to serve my parents, it's actually an injustice on my wife

She host her own parent service, she has parents of her own, these are not her parents, these are your parents

As a matter of a fact, the ties of blood are different  from the ties of marriage so to expect from the wife to serve your parents as a husband

It's actually a form of injustice, and it's not something Islamicly allowed. Some people say, well you have to obey your husband no matter what he says, that's not entirely true either.

You don't obey any human being with that disclamer no matter what they say

I can't even obey my parents no matter what they say, if my dad  was telling me to take a student loan with interest, I wouldn't take it, I can't, it's disobedience to Allah, I'm not gonna do it, as a matter of fact sometimes you have to even disobedience your parents, out of respect if they are being unreasonable

it has to happen sometimes, you know your father asks you to take a loan even it's not an interest based loan
or he's tried to ask you to go into a business which you know it's going to sink, you absolutely don't, you know guarantee it's not gonna fly, but He wants you to take all your life's saving and put them in that business, you're not listening to your Dad in that situation, it's not disobedience to your father, that's not how that works

As a matter of fact, our obedience to our parents is within the round of reasons and of course the thing that even when we disobey them you know, we don't disobey them at all ever outside the bounds of respect and of course even if things are difficult on us we should still obey them even if they're difficult on us but one day you know, when there's something completely unreasonable, or gonna put others in difficulty.

The example I just give you for instance, if I ruin all of my savings or all of my assets in some business that they want me to get into that I know won't work, then I want just be doing something they wanted me to do

I'll be putting my children in difficulty, I'll be putting my wife in difficulty, I'll be putting other people that depend on me in difficulty

I can't do that, they can do whatever they want with me but they cannot allow me to do injustice to anybody else, it's not how it works

Then there are family who force the husband to have one account right and the parents are co-signer on the account and the wife gets like 20 hour bill every week or something, that's not how it works either, you cannot do that

You can have your wife you married her, you took her from her father to become her wali and you owe her now the same responsibility her father used to owe her and now treat her like a second class citizen inside the house or maid to your parents or to your sisters or somebody else, this is all absolutely absurd ridiculous and this is one of the thing you and I are gonna be asked about on the Judgement day

On the other hand however there's the other extreme, on the one extreme you have you know daughter in laws being turned to maid which is absolutely absurd and ridiculous, unacceptable in Islam

And on the other hand, you have people that are wives or even husbands that are absolutely spiteful of their in laws and want nothing to do with them

I don't wanna see their face, I don't want them coming over, I don't wanna go to your mother's house, i don't wanna you talk to her ever, I hate her, I can't stand her etc etc

this overly extreme distance from your husband's family, you know, this is also an extreme, this is form of injustice too. those are his parents, they have rights over him, they should be able to see their grandkids, they should be able to come over and not worry about having a fight you know

are you like visibly looking upset at their presence, this is injustice now on your part because out of love of your husband, at the very least you should be showing courtesy to his family, courtesy and respect, that's all but he cannot force this things on you, this should come from you just these are things that by the way just to take the shocker away from all of this, these are attitudes that every muslim owes every other muslim by the way

What to speak of people that brought together by family, you know we're supposed to be the best we can be towards family member, yes this complication happen and especially joint family type situation which are certainly complicated situation and you know among other culture and DC's culture in particular this is something we emphasize like everybody living under one roof

And you know the finance being control by parents and you know the daughter having to do this and that in order to do be a good wife and put up with a lot of this stuff, this stuff doesn't work for a lot of families and if it doesn't work, you know the sisters I'm not asking you to break marriages or something like that, it certainly wants a conversation, because it's not islamic, even if you're doing it as a family decision, don't hide behind the fact that this is what Islam wants

It's not what Islam wants, it's what your family wants that's what you have to come to certain terms as a family

Allah Azza wa Jalla said "tsumma Latus alunna yaumaidzin 'anin na'im (QS.At-takatsur:8) , you're going to be asked all of good blessings you enjoyed and the wife I have, the children I have, the parents I have, you know all of these blessings I enjoy and I better do right by them so I pray that this you know hope alleviate at least some of the concern that this has to do with Islam, it really doesn't

It has to do with cultural practices and treatment of women in certain ways
That really the Quran, the book of Allah, does not justified, the Sunnah of the prophet pbuh absolutely does not justified

Why Does the Quran Refers to Allah as "He" | Nouman Ali Khan

Why Does the Quran Refer to Allah as “He”?  Nouman Ali Khan
https://www.youtube.com/c/PembelajarQuranChannel
http://pembelajar-quran.blogspot.com

Assalamu'alaykum everyone
During my Gulf Tour in Kuwait, I was giving a lecture and somebody ask a really cool question and I thought I should share the answer with everyone.

The question was that in reading the Quran you found the God use the word He for himself like He is the creator the sky and the earth or He is one, and the word He is obviously male so how can we use a male word for God eventhough Allah is beyond gender.

So that was a pretty cool question i thought  and so i decided to make this video and share with you some thoughts on how to address this problem.

First of all we have to understand that the Arabic language which differently than the English language.
In the English language you have three (3) options, you can use He or you can use She or you can use It
He obviously has male conotation, She has female conotation, It is beyond gender
So you would have the choice of It but the only problem is the word It is for inanimate object, It would be inappropriate for Allah because It necessity the assumption for non living things
None of those three options can truly do justice to the word for God
Now Allah chose, this kind of give me more confidence and remind me even more why Allah chose the Arabic language for His revelation

In the Arabic language things work very differently from English
First of foremorst they don't have the pronoun It, they only have He and She, Huwa and Hiya, there is no inanimate object pronoun. There is no gender neutral, there is no such things in the Arabic,

The second thing to note, in the Arabic, gramatically speaking the word He / Huwa serve 2 functions, now please pay attention to this part cause it gets a little tricky
It serves 2 functions, it serves the function of male and also serves the function of masculine
Actually before he even serves the function of male, its primary purpose is to communicate the masculine

The Arabs makes a distinction in their grammar between masculine and male, this is actually not that different from Spanish

you know when you have L, liberal and La, liberateca, they take inanimate object even and end it with a gender

a book is masculine and the library is feminine right, so in the Arabic language, the word Huwa can be use for things that have gender and things that don't have gender and to them, masculine is not actually about a biological gender, it's a grammatical concept

so a boy is actually a male but a tree is actually just it's an It, in Arabic syajaroh is feminine that doesn't mean tree is female, but to them tree is feminine similarly to the them the sun is feminine. Asy-Syams is feminine to them
Not because the tree, the sun, biologically female, so masculine and feminine are different from male and female

All questions assume because the English language uses word He for male
the Arabic equivalent Huwa must all to be use for male, it's not the case

it's actually use for masculine or for the male but still you know the question is why use the masculine anyway why not use the feminine ?

Here's where understanding Arabic linguistics and the overall sturucture Arabic language help

As an overview the Arabic Language is a contract has a certain principles that dictate how the whole languages organize. Those guidance principles, if that's the masculine, it's the default
it's kinda when you have like a word will remain masculine until there's a reason to consider it feminine. You don't get out of the masculine gender unless you have some grammatical reasons, so the fact that the masculine is use for Allah, Huwa is use for Allah, actually in the case, this is the default state is how is supposed to be

Using the feminine word would actually be the problem that would be leaving the natural default state, the truly neutral state in Arabic and going to the unnatural state which is
the feminine form in the Arabic language

So the problem does not exist at all in Arabic and exist certainly in the English language
which is why for you know, since the beginning of the Quran, nobody actually attribute masculinity to Allah, even among the Pagan Arab, they didn't have this problem because they just they know this talking about define being, the word that has to be use for him, appropriate to him has to be one does not limited self to any connotation and that word in Arabic, it certainly be Huwa

We'll still gonna be limited in English, we're gonna have to use the word He because we don't have a better word

that at the end of the day serve one purpose and one purpose alone to me, that is nothing in the end will be truly equivalent to the word of Allah as He revealed it

Surah Al Fiil Part 1| Nouman Ali Khan Lectures | Ilustrated Tafseer Quran Juz Amma (Juz 30)

Assalamu'alaykum warohmatullahi wa barokatuhu
A'udzubillahi minas syaithonir rojiim
Bismillaahirrohmaanirrohiim

الم تر كيف فعل ربك باصحاب الفيل
Alam taro kaifa fa'ala robbuka biashhaabil fiil (QS.Al-Fiil :1)
Didn't you see how your lord dealt with the people of the elephant ?

الم يجعل كيدهم في تضليل
Alam yaj'al kaidahum fii tadhlil (QS.Al-Fiil :2)
Didn't He make their plot in waste ?

وارسل عليهم طيرا ابابيل
wa arsala 'alayhim thoiron abaabiil (QS.Al-Fiil :3)
And He sent against them birds herds upon herds

ترميهم بحجارة من سجيل
tarmiihim bihijaarotim min sijjiil (QS.Al-Fiil:4)
Striking them with stones of hard clay

فجعلهم كعصف ماكول
faja'alahum ka'ashfim ma'kuul (QS.Al-Fiil:5)
So (He) made them an empty field of stalks eaten up

So in the beginning insha Allahu ta'ala, there's interesting comment made by Dr Fadil Sholih Hassan ar-Ra'i

“Hiya surotul fiiha ibrotun likulli thohiyyatin mutakabbirin mutajabbir fii kulli ushur wal lazmal”

He says this surah has a warning and a lesson for every rebellious arrogant tyrant that lives in any age and any time in any civillization any nation

So He says, this is not just the surah talking about the oppresion of Abrahah against the Ka'bah but this surah is sending a message to anyone who hopes to,you know, doing oppresion upon civilian population, or overpower one a nation or ruler trying to overpower another nation by means their military power.

With the understanding what they are gonna do to fight against us ? they have no military capability to stand up to us and with that you know assumption with that arrogant assumption

They go in and they don't care about the consequences, you know when a society is not in power, they talk about the Rule of Law and they call people to obey by the Rule of Law. But when a society has power they will say the Law is for everyone else, and we are above the Law, we're beyond the Law and this people would apply some nice things stuff  to buy some special occasions, and who's gonna stop them?

Even when they trample all over the Law and the regulations dare the most powerful, you know,civilization, who's gonna question them? who's gonna question their oppresion? and this is something that has happened throughout history

it's not difficult to see example of that event of our time but this is something

that you know, the surah is trying to explain to us.

Now He gives reason why He thinks this is the key, listen to surah why we should limited to a discussion only of the historical account which of course are critical

liza jaaf fi'il taro, this is why the verb "taro" came,"alam taro" now there are different ways of saying this

The first part of the ayah roughly translated is "Didn't you see?", that's the first part "Didn't you see?" common translation would be "Didn't you see how your lord dealt with the people of the elephant?"

This is probably common translation you heard before but I will commenting only on the first phrase "alam taro" specifically the verb “to see”, that's been use in the present tense, “bisighati mudhori' liddhalalati 'alal istimror wattajadur” and the specific use of that known as English translation come out as past tense, right?

"alam taro" come out as "Didn't you see?" and clearly if you understand English that past tense but in Arabic there's rethorical function here,

And as suppose to saying,"amaroaita" right? you could use the past tense function also but that wasn't use, that use the past tense, it allude something continuous in Arabic rethoric, in balaghoh in linguistic, refers to something that didn't happen once that happens over and over again.

And this surah from  a linguistic point of view, we'll learn something amazing about this surah, how the changing of tenses carry amazing lesson in them.

So that use just of the mudhorri', the present future tense in the Arabic, with the word Lam, regardless the presence of the word lam, indicate that this is not just something to observing think about for that time but for all time

Now we look at some commentary by ash-Shawkani rahimahullah

“wa huwa ta'jibullahu shalallahu 'alayhi wa sallam bima fa'alallaahu lah”, and this is to give the messenger in a sense of amazement and wonder in regards to what Allah himself did with the people of the elephant

"Qod 'alimta yaa Muhammad"

You already know Muhammad shalallahu 'alayhi wa sallam

“aw 'alimannaasa mawjudun fii 'ashrik”

or the people who are present in your time they also know very very well

“wa mim ba'dihim”

and even the people that came after them,

“bima balagohu minal akbaril mutawwatiroh min qishati ashhabi fiihim”,

because of what came to them from continuous narative and narration and people telling the story over and over again of the story of the elephant

“wa ma fa'alallaahu bihim fa ma lakum laa tu'minuun”

this is the last part of ash-Shawkani's commentary. He said just in the "Alam taro kaifa" Allah Azza Wa Jalla, it is as tough he is saying "Didn't you realize what Allah does to his enemy? so whats wrong with you? why don"t you believe in Him?"

you're using that to take pride of How Allah protected His house so why don't you take next step toward iman?

Now finally " Alam yaj'al kaydahum fii tadhliil" (continue to part 2)

[Ilustration] Surah Al-Ashr | Nouman Ali Khan Lectures|Tafseer Quran juz...

Bismillaah..

والعصر ان الانسان لفي خسرالا الذين امنوا وعملوا الصالحات وتواصوا بالحق وتواصوا بالصبر

Demi Masa, Sesungguhnya manusia berada dalam kerugian, Kecuali orang-orang yang beriman dan beramal sholih, dan saling menasihati dalam kebenaran dan saling menasihati dalam kesabaran.

Dan gambaran yang ingin saya bagi dengan anda adalah salah satu yang akan membantu anda memahami konsep besar dari surat Al-asr.

Bayangkan bersama saya bahwa anda sedang tenggelam dan anda tidak sadarkan diri, dua hal...anda tenggelam dan tak sadarkan diri

apakah anda punya banyak waktu? jika anda tenggelam dan tak sadarkan diri apakah anda mempunyai banyak waktu?

Tidak, kita tidak mempunyai banyak waktu

itu artinya, waktu semakin menipis dan anda tahu dalam bahasa arab kata apa yang digunakan untuk waktu yang menipis, kata untuk itu adalah "al-asr"

"asr" secara bahasa berarti waktu yang semakin menipis, bagian akhir hari dimana waktu semakin menipis, itu adalah waktu solat asar. Asar berasal dari kata asir, jus yang diperas keluar..waktu yang diperas keluar dari tangan anda

"asara tauba" digunakan jika anda mengambil kain yang tenggelam di air dan jika anda memerasnya air keluar dari dalamnya, asara adalah kata kerja yang digunakan seperti itu untuk memerasnya, jadi Allah membicarakan waktu ini.

Anda tenggelam dan tak sadarkan diri dan waktu anda tak banyak, apa hal pertama yang harus anda lakukan untuk selamat dari posisi ini jika anda berharap selamat ?

Hal pertama apa yang harus anda lakukan, apa yang anda pikirkan? Bangun!

Itu hal pertama yang harus anda lakukan..jika anda tetap tak sadarkan diri dan anda akan habis!

Kondisi pertama yang harus anda lakukan, anda harus BANGUN, walaupun anda dalam mimpi indah, dan dalam mimpi anda menikmati kesuksesan terhebat anda mengendarai ferari seperti iklan di tv, dengan bukit bukit dan jalan yang besar dan sungai di sisi lain seperti mobil yang atapnya terbuka dan anda berkendara di jalan menikmati hidup, itulah mimpi anda!

Tapi pada saat anda sadar, anda menyadari, anda tenggelam, anda berada didalam air

itu adalah kondisi pertama, anda harus BANGUN

setelah anda bangun, anda berkata "aduh ini adalah kenyataan yang kejam, saya sedang menikmati mimpi indah..saya akan kembali tidur..jika anda melakukan ini, orang seperti apa anda orang tak waras..anda tak waras, atau seseorang yang tak berani menerima kenyataan karena mereka menemukan kenyataan begitu sulit, mereka memutuskan untuk kembali tidur walaupun mereka sudah bangun..

Apakah orang ini jika dia tenggelam, apakah dia bisa menyalahkan orang lain? orang yang bangun kemudian kembali tidur. Seseorang yang belum terbangun,mungkin...

Tapi orang yang sudah terbangun, berkata..ini tidak bagus..dan mereka kembali tidur, mereka tidak bisa menyalahkan orang lain..kecuali diri mereka sendiri

Sekarang bayangkan mereka bangun, apa yang harus anda lakukan selanjutnya? wow ini buruk saya tenggelam. Walaupun anda tidak bisa berenang, anda akan menggunakan otot dalam tubuh anda untuk bergerak menuju permukaan dan anda menemukan pergerakan menuju kebawah dan pergerakan ke permukaan.

Setelah anda menemukan pergerakan untuk ke permukaan, anda hanya akan melakukan hal tersebut, betul?

Dengan kata lain, hal pertama yang anda lakukan adalah BANGUN kedua adalah BERENANG

Anda harus melakukan sesuatu untuk menuju ke permukaan, saat anda mencapai kepermukaan, anda menghirup udara segar dan anda ditarik lagi kebawah ,anda ditarik lagi kebawah, oleh siapa? anda tidak akan percaya ini...

Ada rantai disekeliling kaki anda dan saudara sepupu anda sedang tertidur, ia menyeret anda dan sekarang anda tenggelam karena sepupu anda. Apa yang harus anda lakukan sekarang? anda harus membangunkan dia!

Bahkan anda bukan membangunkan dia untuk menyelamatkan dia, untuk apa anda membangunkan dia?

mungkin anda mau menyelamatkannya.

mungkin anda tidak menyukai sepupu anda.

tapi intinya adalah, anda berusaha membangunkan dia karena jika anda tidak membangunkan dia, siapa yang akan ikut tenggelam?

anda sendiri....jadi anda membangunkan dia

dan dia berkata, “Aduh,saya lagi naik ferari! dan kamu membangunkan saya tanpa alasan!! saya akan kembali tidur”

Apakah anda dapat berkata, saya sendiri tidak suka dengan kamu..terserahlah!..tidak bisa..

Jika dia kembali lagi tidur, apa yang akan anda lakukan??

JANGAN, BANGUN AYO AYO! kita tidak bisa menyerah.

kamu tidak bisa tidak menerima kenyataan!

dan anda harus terus membangunkannya, sampai dia berkata."baiklah apa yang akan kita lakukan?"

kalian berdua berenang ke permukaan, dan kemudian anda kembali diseret kebawah oleh nenek anda

oleh tante anda

oleh tetangga anda

oleh anak anda

oleh putri anda, apakah proses terus berlanjut?

Ada 4 proses, untuk proses menyelamatkan hidup ini..

pertama, mereka harus bangun..

kemudian berusaha untuk berenang

kemudian beritahu orang lain, bahwa ini adalah KEBENARANnya, Ayo!

walaupun salah satu dari mereka capek, dan mereka berkata.."saya tidak bisa melakukan ini lagi.."

kita selalu melakukan ini terus

saya tidak tahu apakah saya bisa melakukan ini lagi..dan yang lain berkata TIDAK! kita akan selamat bersama

kita harus SELAMAT BERSAMA! AYO AYO AYO!! TERUS BERUSAHA!

Apa anda pernah melihat film seperti itu ?..

dimana mereka berusaha melarikan diri dari tentara

dan salah satu dari mereka menjadi lelah,tidak bisa lari lagi, apa yang lainnya lakukan?

ayo, ayo kita bisa melakukan ini! dan mereka terus berlari walaupun mereka sudah lelah

mereka bekerja sama satu dengan yang lainnya, karena hidup mereka bergantung satu dengan yang lainnya.

mereka bekerja sama mati-matian, apa yang Allah katakan di akhir surah?

pertama manusia tenggelam dalam kerugian, Wal-Asr waktu menipis

innal insana lafii khusr

saya artikan manusia tenggelam dalam kerugian

apa anda melihat persamaannya? manusia tenggelam dalam kerugian.

apa pengecualiannya? illa lladzina..

orang yang percaya, percaya apa?

Allah bukan berkata percaya upada rukun iman,

Percaya kepada kitabnya, kepada Rasulnya, kepada hari akhir..tidak Allah sebutkan

Allah tidak menyebutkan apa apa..

Walaupun sebenernya semua hal tersebut termasuk kedalamnya..

tetapi menurut kata-katanya dan isi dari surat ini

hal pertama apa yang harus dipercayai

bahwa mereka dalam kerugian..

bahwa mereka tenggelam

dan setelah mereka percayai itu, dan mereka memperbaiki iman mereka

apa hal yang perlu terjadi, mereka akan berenang

dan bergerak keatas,

Bagaimana Allah menggambarkan hal ini?

"wa amilu ssolihaati"

dan mereka melakukan amal baik

amal yang membantu memperbaiki situasi

omong omong, salih adalah kata sifat, jama' muannats salim, secara literal artinya yang memperbaiki sesuatu.

sesuatu yang salah dan ia perbaiki, jadi mereka melakukan sesuatu yang memperbaiki situasi. literal seperti orang yang berusaha untuk berenang, tapi karena mereka terikat dengan orang lain, hal lain apa yang mereka harus lakukan

watawa saubilhaqq

mereka harus memberitahu yang lainya tentang kebenaran.

tidak hanya mereka memberitahu kebenarannya, tidak.

mereka harus membangunkannya dan mengajaknya. Ayo ayo!!

berulang-ulang "tawasi" mempunyai takrar didalamnya

ada repetisi didalamnya

berulang ulang! ini kebenarannya, ini kebenarannya!

Anda tahu kenapa? orang yang mau anda selamatkan

walaupun anda membangunkannya sebentar selama khutbah

tebak apa yang terjadi setelah khutbah selesai?

mereka kembali tidur

mereka kembali tenggelam

jadi apa yang harus anda lakukan? anda harus membangunkannya lagi

dan kemudian mereka mengantuk lagi

dan anda harus membangunkannya lagi, ini adalah tawasi bil haqq

Mungkin anda akan lelah melakukan hal tersebut, anda mungkin akan tidak sabar, Allah menambahkan "watawasaw bis sabr"

sabar berarti konsistensi, kegigihan

kesabaran anda harus tetap menuju ketujuan, dan terus melakukan ini.

karena keselamatan anda bergantung dari hal ini

pada akhirnya jika anda melakukan semua tapi tidak ada kesabaran, dan anda menyerah, maka anda akan tenggelam juga

walaupun anda punya iman, amal baik, dan anda memberitahu Kebenaran tapi anda tidak punya kesabaran, anda tetap tenggelam,

Jadi ada berapa kondisi yang harus terpenuhi untuk selamat keempat-empatnya. Seluruh 4 kondisi diperlukan, mereka sangat kritikal dan penting karenanya ada "DAN" diantaranya. Anda melihat perkembangan logisnya dari iman ke amal salih, watawa saubil haqq, watawwa saubil sabr sangat indah digambarkan dalam surat ini.

Bismillaah...

Dalam ceramahnya mengenai Surah Al-Kafiruun, ustadh Nouman Ali Khan menjelaskan tentang konsep Ibadah yang memiliki makna bukan hanya penyembahan secara ritual saja namun juga penyembahan kepada Allah SWT dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.

Beliau juga menyinggung mengenai Asbabun Nuzul-nya surah ini dikarenakan tawaran kaum kafir Quraisy untuk melakukan kompromi berua 1 tahun menyembah Allah SWT dan 1 tahun menyembah berhala.

[Ilustrasi] Surah Al-Lahab / Al-Masadd | Nouman Ali Khan | Tafsir Quran Juz Amma (Juz 30)

Bismillaah..
Surah Al-Lahab, Al-Quranul Kareem, Juz Amma (Juz 30)
In this surah, Allah 'Azza Wa Jalla shows us HIS promise to destroy Abu Lahab , uncle of Nabi Muhammad (PBUH), (and his wife) in Hellfire.

This surah reveals when Abu Lahab still alive and this means beside Allah's promise, this surah also shows prediction and as a proof that Quran miraculously right since Abu Lahab till the last breath he take, not once say syahada.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bismillaah..
Surah Al-Lahab, Quranul Karim, Juz Amma, Juz 30
Dalam surah ini, Allah memberikan ancaman tentang betapa celakanya Abu Lahab, paman Nabi Muhammad, (dan istrinya Abu lahab) nanti di neraka..

Surah ini turun saat Abu Lahab masih hidup, jadi selain menunjukkan tentang janji/ ancaman dan prediksi masa depan-nya Abu Lahab, surah ini juga menjadi bukti tentang betapa benarnya Quran, karena hingga akhir hayatnya Abu Lahab, tidak sekaliput mengucapkan dua kalimat syahadat.

[Ilustrasi] Surah Al-Falaq - Nouman Ali Khan - Tafsir Quran Juz Amma (Juz 30)

Bismillaah..

Sinopsis dari sumbernya " The Beauty of Surah Al-Falaq -Nouman Ali Khan" :

Some Interesting Note from the Full Tafsir of Al-Falaq
the Word "Fa-laqa" litteraly mean "to rip open something".
"falaqa" used for the morning because the rays of the morning tear through the darkness and morning comes out. thats why it called "falaq"/ Daybreak

Brother Nouman explain,and i find the Language and the meaning behind the ayah is Really amazing!

Falaq (as mentioned in many arabic lexicons including Taj al Uroos, Lisan al 'Arab) includes the meaning of Khalq = that which is Created. So Falaq is similar to 'Created' in meaning -- because all life comes into existence through "tearing out through" something else.

Allah is signifying that He is the Master of birth, of life. Because this tearing open signifies; the birth of the day from the night, the birth of rain tearing from the clouds which gives life to the dead earth -- giving it life, providing life food for all living beings -- birth of a children, Etc . SubhanAllah!

listen the full Lecture, This Surah is Amazing!
