Handling Technical Issues and Communicating with Followers

Peace be upon you, our brothers on YouTube, forgive us, the mobile "froze" so we had to restart the broadcast, but we ask you to be patient a little so that our brothers on YouTube do not get angry. Sorry again, regarding the previous question, some answer: "So what about such and such verse and such and such verse?". Frankly, this question had more than one answer, so forgive us.

For example, one of the brothers says: "Had this Quran not been revealed upon a man from the two towns, great," this is from Surah Az-Zukhruf and not from today's parts. But the brothers who mentioned Allah's saying: {Shall we believe you and follow you while the most wretched (creatures) follow you?} frankly, their answer is correct, but the answers followed so we had to limit the answer to the person of the Prophet, peace be upon him, at the beginning, so forgive us otherwise your answer is correct.

There is brother Muhammad Al-Ghandour, who asks for consideration because he is blind, may Allah illuminate his insight and enlighten his vision and insight in the Hereafter. We welcome his participation, and if exceptionally he mentions the verse number, we will try to help him, although memorizing the verse numbers may be difficult for some. If you have a suggestion for a way to involve you, we are ready, so forgive me and suggest to us, may your Lord honor you.

Question Twelve: Idols of the Heart

Question twelve is originally a tweet by Sheikh Al-Tarifi - may Allah forgive him: "A person may carry an idol in his heart to which his heart prostrates and bows, just as the people of ignorance used to prostrate to their idols with their bodies and bow. Mention a verse that reminds you of this meaning?"

Answer: Allah the Exalted said in Surah Al-Furqan: {Have you seen him who has taken as his god his (own) desire, and Allah has sent him astray knowing (this), and has set a seal upon his hearing and his heart, and has placed on his sight a veil? Then who will guide him after Allah? Will you not then remember?} So the human may take desire as a god, and these are as if they are carrying their idol inside their chests, their hearts prostrate to it and bow.

Question Thirteen: Honoring the Self from Vain Speech

Question thirteen is also originally a tweet by Al-Tarifi - may Allah benefit by his knowledge: "Honoring the self is not listening to the worthless speech, just as honoring the foot is lifting it from harm on its way. Mention a verse that reminds you of the meaning in the first part?"

Answer: There are two verses that are suitable for the answer:

His saying, may He be exalted: {And when they pass by vain speech, they pass by with dignity.} meaning they honor themselves from delving into this vain speech or listening to it.
His saying, may He be exalted: {And when they hear vain speech, they withdraw from it and say, "For us are our deeds, and for you are your deeds. Peace be upon you; we seek not the ignorant."}

Question Fourteen and Last: The Sound Mind of the Queen of Sheba

Two wise words that indicate the composure of their speaker, so that he does not lie nor is lied to, and does not cut off what is possible, what are they?

Answer: The two words are: {As if it were he}. It is mentioned in Surah An-Naml in the story of the Queen of Sheba with Sulayman, peace be upon him. When her throne was brought to her and it was made unrecognizable, she was asked: {Is this your throne?} So if she had said "yes," she might have lied because the appearance had changed, and if she had said "no," she might have lied because it was very similar. So from her sound mind and wisdom, she said: {As if it were he}.

Al-Baghawi, may Allah have mercy on him, said about Ikrimah: "She was wise, she did not say yes for fear of lying, and she did not say no for fear of being lied to, so Sulayman knew the perfection of her mind." As for her previous deviation in worshiping the sun, the Quran explained its cause: {And she was prevented by what she had been worshiping other than Allah; indeed, she was from a disbelieving people}, meaning that the environment was what led her astray from the truth, otherwise she was rational.

And in His saying, may He be exalted: {And we were given knowledge before her, and we have been Muslims}, the commentators differed; some said it is from the speech of Sulayman, and some said it is the continuation of the queen's speech, meaning that she knew of Sulayman's prophethood and she became Muslim before seeing this verse (bringing the throne).

Conclusion

With this, we have reached the end of today's session. May Allah reward you for your good follow-up and participation, and may Allah accept from us and from you. Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
