Surah al Baqarah Lesson #15 Ayahs 92 – 103
Ayah 92 And Moses had certainly brought you clear proofs. Then you took the calf [in worship] after that, while you were wrongdoers.
And Moses had certainly brought you clear proofs Then you took the calf [in worship] while you were wrongdoers
Ayah 93 And [recall] when We took your covenant and raised over you the mount, [saying], "Take what We have given you with determination and listen." They said [instead], "We hear and disobey." And their hearts absorbed [the worship of] the calf because of their disbelief. Say, "How wretched is that which your faith enjoins upon you, if you should be believers."
Lessons Might and Power of Allah The one who sides with a Dhawlim is a dhawlim himself, even if he does not commit the wrong. Listening is the first step towards Amal Every person has a false god - that prevents a person from the obedience of Allah.
Analyze! What is my “COW”?
Ayah 94 Say, [O Muhammad], "If the home of the Hereafter with Allah is for you alone and not the [other] people, then wish for death, if you should be truthful.
Claims of Bani Israel "We are the children of Allāh and His beloved.“[Al Maida:18] "None will enter Paradise except one who is a Jew or a Christian." [Al Baqarah:111] ً "Never will the Fire touch us, except for a few days.“ [Al Baqarah:80]
Allah’s Response If you are truthful in your claims, then why are you afraid of Death? & Why don’t you wish to die?
Ayah 95 But they will never wish for it, ever, because of what their hands have put forth. And Allah is Knowing of the wrongdoers.
They didn’t want to die because of their wrong actions.
Analyze! Why do we fear death? Is it because of our Amal? If it is, then why don’t we change our Amal?
RECAP • Last week, we talked about… • The oath taken by the Bani Israel • Importance of listening and obeying • Love of the calf in their hearts • What is the “CALF” in our life? • Thoughts on dying and death – how confident are we in meeting Allah SWT?
Ayah 96 And you will surely find them the most greedy of people for life - [even] more than those who associate others with Allah . One of them wishes that he could be granted life a thousand years, but it would not remove him in the least from the [coming] punishment that he should be granted life. And Allah is Seeing of what they do.
Ayah 96 - Roots • Noon Shaddah: most definitely • HaaRaawSaawd: strongly desire something; its difficult to fulfill it so have to put in some effort • Structure: Af‘ al: superlative degree; MOST greedy • Greedy for life
Ayah 96 - Roots • Sheen RaawKaaf: to associate partners with Allah, i.e. giving the share of Allah to others • WaawDaalDaal: intense love • AainMeemRaaw: 1. he is given the age of 1000 years 2. he is given a long life • ZaaHaaZaaHaa(4 ROOTS!) – to move away; • no matter how long a life we have, we can’t delay death or the Hereafter
Context • These people want 1000 more years of life; the more aged they become, the longer life they want • Even more than the Quraish because they were warriors, they’d rather go to the battlefield and fight to the death
Analyze Why do we want to live longer? If we are granted a last wish before we die, what will that be?
Lessons Even if we get to live a long life, this can not prevent the punishment Every Soul will Taste Death Everyone of us will face Allah on the Day of Judgement Use Dunya to Earn Akhira!
Ayah 97 Say, "Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel - it is [none but] he who has brought the Qur'an down upon your heart, [O Muhammad], by permission of Allah , confirming that which was before it and as guidance and good tidings for the believers."
Jibreel A.S. • The person who is the enemy of Jibreel A.S., he should know, he should leave his enmity because Jibreel A.S. is only obeying the command of Allah • His enmity is not going to change anything
Ayah 97 - Roots • Baa Sheen Raaw– such good news that makes the receiver happy; you can see it in a person’s attitude • The Qu’ran should enter the hearts; not just knowledge heart is the place where feelings and emotions are
Lessons Qur’an is the Source of Guidance & Happiness Quran is for the hearts, its not just the information Heart is a faculty of understanding and retaining memory
Heart has ability to Reason and have hearts by which to reason [al-Hajj: 46]
Thinking Heart Paul Pearsall, MD, a psychoneuroimmunologist and author of The Heart's Code, has researched the transference of memories through organ transplantation
Analyze! Check your hearts? After reading the Qur’an, listening to it, do I feel happy? If I do, then this is a sign of a Eman. & If I don’t then its Alarming!
Ayah 98 Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His angels and His messengers and Gabriel and Michael - then indeed, Allah is an enemy to the disbelievers.
Context • Bani Israel used to say: Mikael is our friend, but this is not complete imaan, because whoever is an enemy to one angel, is an enemy to all • Revelation brings life to our souls while rain brings life to the earth • Angels are beloved to Allah; they’re all friends of Allah
Whoever is an enemy and Michael to Allah and Gabriel and His angels and His messengers then indeed Allah is an enemy to the disbelievers
Lessons Enmity with Allah is to leave, hate or go against His commands He who hates Messenger, Angels or Allah is a Disbeliever Loving the loved ones of Allah, is a means of attaining Allah’s pleasure.
Ayah 99 And We have certainly revealed to you verses [which are] clear proofs, and no one would deny them except the defiantly disobedient.
Ayah 100 Is it not [true] that every time they took a covenant a party of them threw it away? But, [in fact], most of them do not believe.
Ayah 100 - Roots • Noon Baa Dhaal– to throw/reject something; to discard something because a person finds it useless in terms of its value; also to turn away from something • Context: every time the Bani Israel made a promise with Allah, they threw it (a small group did this)
Treaty of Madinah • One with Allah - the covenants that we read about and that they would believe in Allah and His messengers and support them. They denied the Prophet (s.a.w.). • Agreements made with the Prophet (saw) - when the Prophet (s.a.w.) went to • Madina. A covenant was signed between three groups: • 1. Muslims • 2. Jews • 3. Mushrikeen of Madina. • This covenant was known as the Treaty of Madina; had many clauses, but one of main clauses was: That if someone attacks Madina from outside, then the three groups would combat the enemy together. However, the Bani Israel did not support the Muslims in this
Ayah 101 And when a messenger from Allah came to them confirming that which was with them, a party of those who had been given the Scripture threw the Scripture of Allah behind their backs as if they did not know [what it contained].
Ayah 101 - Roots • WaawRaawYaa– something that is beyond; 1. as if they didn’t know this Book was from Allah • 2. as if they didn’t know the commands of the Torah
Context • The Prophet met the description of the final prophet in their book • They threw away the Book: • 1. The Qu’ran; they did not believe in it; ignored it • 2. The commands of Allah, that the people of the Book believe in the teachings of their own book
Analyze! What is our state? How do we deal with the Book? How many of our children know who the Messenger (saw) is? How many of us know what is in the Qur’an?
Ayah 102 And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut. But the two angels do not teach anyone unless they say, "We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic]." And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allah . And the people learn what harms them and does not benefit them. But the Children of Israel certainly knew that whoever purchased the magic would not have in the Hereafter any share. And wretched is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew.
Context • Suleiman A.S. was the son of Dawud A.S. both were kings of Bani Israel • He had birds, jinns and the wind under his control (with the permission of Allah) • The shaitaan put in the hearts of people that Suleiman A.S. had all these things because of magic to get the Bani Israel interested in this • However, practicing magic is forbidden, and Suleiman A.S. was not an unbeliever (got everything from the fadl of Allah SWT)
