Qur'an 30 for 30

 As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.  Bismillahir rahmanir raheem.  I'm happy to be here with you today.  I want to welcome you all back to Qur'an 30 for 30.  It's kind of strange how quickly things are going.  When I just look at the fact that we're already at just nine.  So we're moving on.  We ask Allah to accept everyone's Ramadan and all of their ibadah.  We're very blessed to have sister Fatima Knight here with us for the first time.  I'm looking forward to her insights as well.  Welcome for the first time to Qur'an 30 for 30, sister Fatima.  And Shaykh Abdullah, of course, is going to share his wisdom with us as he always does.  So as we get into the ninth juz, we start from the last part of Surah Al-A'raf.  And Surah Al-A'raf is a surah that picks up a lot of the themes from Surah Al-An'am.  But SubhanAllah, there's a connection here from the very beginning to Surah Al-An'am and Surah Al-A'raf that we find.  Which is that in Surah Al-An'am, Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala mentions,  Falamma nasu ma thubkiru bihi fatahna AAalayhim abwaba kulli shay'  hatta idha thariqu bima ootu akhadnaahum baqta fa idhaahum mubilisoon.  Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala says, I believe it's verse 46, but I don't have it in front of me,  of Surah Al-An'am, that when they forgot the reminders that were sent to them,  when the people forgot the constant reminders that were sent to them,  Fatahna AAalayhim abwaba kulli shay'  We went ahead and we opened up the doors of all things that they had wanted.  You want this dunya, you're rejecting Allah for this dunya, go ahead and take it.  And once they were intoxicated by their power, by the blessings that Allah had given to them,  Akhadnaahum baqta fa idhaahum mubilisoon.  Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala says, we seized them suddenly,  and then they were left in a state of despair.  And if you look at the end of Surah Al-An'am, all of the aqwaam,  all of the nations that are mentioned at the end of Surah Al-An'am are the destroyed nations.  Okay, the nations that were collectively destroyed because of their defiance to Allah.  And of course, Ahlaknaahum lamma walamu.  Allah destroyed them, particularly when they became aggressive to their prophets and harmful,  and they started to kill and torture the very people that were sent to bring them mercy and guidance.  Now fast forward to the next surah, Surah Al-A'raf, and verse 96.  walaw anna ahla al-qura'a amanu wattaqaw lafataahna AAalayhim barakaatin minas sama'i wal-ard  walakin kadhabu sa akhadnaahum bimaa kaamil yakseeboon  Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala says in verse 96 of Surah Al-A'raf,  if only the people of the towns had believed and feared, believed in and feared Allah,  we would have opened for them the baraka, the blessings of the heavens and the earth,  but instead they denied the messengers and so we seized them for that which they used to do.  Okay, we took them for that which they used to do.  And this is a powerful transition because Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala is telling us first about a people  that got everything that they wanted as a means of punishment.  And then Allah says in the next surah that had they believed, we would have given them everything,  but there's one word that changes and the word is baraka.  They would have had blessing in that which was given to them.  Because of the way in which they acquired what they acquired,  and the defiance and the rebellion that they showed towards their Lord and towards their prophets,  what they had was only a means of punishment, even if it seemed good on the surface,  because at the end of the day, once the punishment of Allah comes,  they had nothing to hold on to and nothing that used to give them a false sense of power  availed them in those moments.  And SubhanAllah, what does this just start off with?  It starts off with the story of Shu'ayb.  The story of Shu'ayb Alayhi Salam, whose people, as Ibn Kathir Rahimahullah mentions,  were the strongest people.  They were an arrogant people.  They were the first people to institute a highway robbery as a habit.  They used to attack the people because of their strength.  They used to rob the people that passed through the towns.  They had all the qualities of arrogance and all the qualities of pride  because of the blessings that Allah had bestowed upon them.  And you have Shu'ayb Alayhi Salam, this lone prophet in Madian,  that is calling his people, and his people accuse him of all sorts of things,  and they are extremely aggressive towards him,  and they demand him to return back to their religion and back to their way.  And so it's a similar experience to what the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam is encountering in early Makkah.  And then Shu'ayb Alayhi Salam, he gets to the point where he makes dua against them.  Rabbana aftah baynana wa bayna alqawm al-dhalimeen  Oh Allah, open the way.  Ya'ni uhkum baynana  Decree the matter between us and between this aggressive group of people, between our qawm.  And it's one o…
