Surah Al-Ankabut - Session 10
04/10/2015 Duración: 38minSurah Al-Ankabut (29:52-62). Surah Al-Ankabut (29:52-62). True belief is belief in the Truth, and disbelief is belief in falsehood.

Surah Al-Ankabut - Session 9
30/08/2015 Duración: 52minSurah Al-Ankabut (29:48-51). The Quran informs us that one component of the seerah that is often-overlooked is that the prophet (S) never read, and never wrote. Yet he went on to produce a civilization that read and wrote. The prophet (S) is the mu'jizah manifesting Allah's ability to create something from nothing. In this lecture: rationale for the unlettered prophet; the subtle irony in being the people of the book; wahy as the basis for prophethood; 'ulama as inheritors of the prophets; the piety of an 'aalim lies in his learning and his dispensation of knowledge; reading precedes understanding. The need of the hour is for Muslims to distinguish between the hukm and the hikmah.

Surah Al-Ankabut - Session 8
23/08/2015 Duración: 42minSurah Al-Ankabut (29:46-47) It is part of our belief to prepare ourselves to partake in discussions of theism with members of other faiths. In this lecture: maintaining a level of readiness for religious interchange; the prophetic model for such preparedness, the training behind the success; the need for an academic response to whatever the challenge of the hour is; an exemplar of verse 46; the acceptance and affirmation of all wahy as a Muslim civilizational value.
-
Surah Al-Ankabut - Session 7
10/05/2015 Duración: 52minSurah Al-Ankabut (29:44-45). This session has tremendous insights into prayer (salaat) as the ultimate vehicle that will carry the believer to unimaginable heights. In the list lecture: the order of ibaadah, and its comparability to the natural order in all creation, wahy as a foundation of salaat, aligning salaat with individual najaat, salaat as proof of submission, the body and spirit of salaat.

Surah Al-Ankabut - Session 6
26/04/2015 Duración: 44minSurah Al-Ankabut (29:38-43). These verses call out the eight categories of men condemned for their rejection of the messenger sent to them. In this lecture: the effects of oppression; the obscure yet real injustice committed in denying Allah (S) and the imbalance it creates in the cosmos; the similitude between those who take other than Allah and the house of the spider, an intricate construction with a strong source yet weak manifestation; insights into the Islamic theory of economics being rooted in the fiqh of it. The breath of nubuwwah demolishes the intricate plans of those who reject it, no matter how strong its foundation may be.

Surah Al-Ankabut - Session 5
19/04/2015 Duración: 55minSurah Al-Ankabut (29:26-37). The tests of the prophets are varied, but all difficult and severe. In this lecture: the blessed offspring of Ibrahim (AS), the tribulations of Lut (AS), the mission of Lut (AS), what is legal is not necessarily moral, the mission of Shu'ayb (AS). Lut (AS) was sent to address an aberration in the understanding of human nature. Shu'ayb (AS) was sent to address an aberration in the understanding of the nature of wealth. Their mission is compared and contrasted with that of Ibrahim (AS) and Nuh (AS) who were sent to address an aberration in the understanding of the nature of the Divine.

Surah Al-Ankabut - Session 4
12/04/2015 Duración: 54minSurah Al-Ankabut (29:16-25). Truth evades those who submerge themselves in the pursuit of worldly pleasures. In this lecture: worshipping Allah (S) as a means of thanking Him, the pervasive phenomena of death and resurrection, the supreme intellect of prophets ('alayhimusSalaam), the inevitable meeting with Allah (S), the violent reaction of an intellectually defeated people, adopting a worldview of tauheed, Ibrahim (AS), as a shining example of one who was born into a community steeped in polytheism yet making the conscious choice of ascertaining and believing in Allah's Oneness. Allah (S) does not need to punish, but He has the prerogative to do so. It is from the Absolute and Sovereign essence of what makes God worthy of worshipping, unfettered by the limitations of human imagination and the impositions of finite thought.

Surah Al-Ankabut - Session 3
05/04/2015 Duración: 44minSurah Al-Ankabut (29:11-15). Allah (S) wants believers to expose their belief and the manifest the Islamic code of conduct. In this lecture: the two levels of hypocrisy, the tafsir and wisdom behind the age of Nuh ('alayhisSalaam) and the vast knowledge he accumulated during his lifetime, the mu'jizah of Quranic brevity, the magnitude and quality of Nuh's ('alayhisSalaam) knowledge of Zoology, the ark as a marvel of engineering, individual accountability, and the role of society as an aid to life and living. Moral decadence is the flood of our times.

Surah Al-Ankabut - Session 2
15/03/2015 Duración: 53minSurah Al-Ankabut (29:7-10). There is no obedience to creation in disobedience to the Creator. In this session, beauty and grace in dealing with parents, drawing the line between obedience and non-conformance, conclusive knowledge as critical to avoiding confusion in matters of religious and social obligation, recognizing our role in the distortion of social practices, a corollary example in the need to take a collective stance on facilitating marriage, the appropriate sense of al-saliheen, the fallacy of freedom in light of the violation of Divine rights. It is for Muslim society to create an ambience wherein Muslims can be Muslim.

Surah Al-Ankabut - Session 1
08/03/2015 Duración: 50minSurah Al-Ankabut, verses 1 through 6. This surah was revealed at a time when Muslims (barely one hundred in number) were being persecuted for their beliefs. In this session: Surah Al-Qasas as a preface to this chapter, and Al-Qasas as a prelude to the hijrah; the need for faith despite trials; the fallacy that faith removes all trials, and that worldly success is a sign of God's pleasure with you; tribulation as preparation for what is to come; the understanding of mujahadah as a prerequisite to the understanding of jihaad; the sahabah as role models for the ansaar. Historically, no nation has thrived that has not engaged in mujahadah.

Surah Al-Qasas - Session 14
01/03/2015 Duración: 49minSurah Al-Qasas, verses 86 through 88. Conclusion and conclusory comments. Wahy is delivered to a nabi with no effort on the part of the recipient towards such Divine attraction. Wahy is from the grace and predestination of Allah (S), it is all about rahmah and has nothing to do in essence with social and moral standing or otherwise. In this lecture: a prophet's supremacy over human beings is by virtue of the intellectual abilities given to him by Allah (S); only a prophet can plan for eternity; the minor signs of Allah's creativity, rahmah and compassion that are accessible to all human beings, and the greater signs that are revealed only to His anbiyaa (such as the mi'raaj); the similarities between Musa (AS) and Muhammad (S), and Al-Qasas as a vehicle of Divine kalaam that bridges one story with the other; the universal code of Tauheed and the path to Allah; the preservation of man and his good deeds in Jannah; the deficiencies of poetry in contrast with the perfection in Kalaam-ul-Allah. The moral of The S

Surah Al-Qasas - Session 13
22/02/2015 Duración: 56minSurah Al-Qasas, verses 83 through 86. These verses sum up everything Muslims need to understand about political authority. Authority comes from Allah (S) and cannot be assumed by force. In this lecture: the fallacy of Islamic rule being essential to Islamic practice; the accessibility to taqwa with or without Islamic rule; the incomparable vastness of Jannah contrasted with this limited world; fanaticism and fundamentalism as consequences of attempting to render divine justice on earth; the indispensable message in Al-Qasas for those who strive to make sense of the grave crisis Muslims face today; the mission of the prophet (S) was guided by wahy, not human emotion; the authority of the prophet (S) over Makkah was purely for the fulfillment of the five pillars, political dominion was just a side effect. If you seek supremacy on earth, Allah (S) will deprive you of any authority in Jannah.

Surah Al-Qasas - Session 12
15/02/2015 Duración: 43minSurah Al-Qasas, verses 78 through 82. This session contrasts the example of Qaroun as a hoarder of wealth with that of Musa as a custodian of knowledge. In this lecture: Qaroun's false claim to knowledge as the source of his good fortune; the staggering amount of Qaroun's wealth is little compared with those who perished before him; limited wealth and lasting knowledge; wealth as a means for knowledge; the impact of a nabi upon the mindset of a disenfranchised people; the short-sighted beliefs of the disbeliever; the distribution of wealth as a Divine prerogative. Our wealth does not make us, rather we make our wealth. If we are good, then our wealth will be good. If we are consumed by our pursuits, then we will be drowned in them (much as Qaroun was swallowed up). We must strive to be free men and women, worshiping Allah free from the weight of our worldly pursuits.

Surah Al-Qasas - Session 11
08/02/2015 Duración: 43minSurah Al-Qasas, verses 71 through 80. Allah (S) is the Lord and Guardian of all who are subordinate to Him as well as those who are insubordinate to Him. In this lecture: Divine mercy in the alternation of day and night; using sensory perception to exercise shukr as the basis for loving Allah (S); the result of shukr and the result of arrogance; the wealth bestowed on Qaroon and his arrogance on account of it; the implicit command to speak out against social vices; the authority of prophets over their people; nobility in speech as the way of Allah (S) and the way he recommended to his prophets. If you have authority, then make sure you don't let your authority bring you disgrace.

Surah Al-Qasas - Session 10
25/01/2015 Duración: 52minSurah Al-Qasas (28:62-70). Human prerogatives are very limited while Allah's prerogatives are supreme. In this lecture: Allah's (S) ruboobiyyah extends to all creation, even the rebellious; Fir'aun was granted ample opportunity for repentance; human will, although free, is limited by what Allah (S) has ordained, this is embodied in the word Rabb; Allah (S) has a personal affiliation with every individual in the capacity of being one's Rabb; Allah (S) alleviates the intense sense of loss felt by the prophet (S) at Abu Talib's demise through the verses of this surah that present the many tribulations of Musa (A); the prophet's (S) love for Allah (S) increased in times of tribulation. True worship is independent of what the worshipped does, therein lies tauheed whereby the sources of good and bad are one and the same. Fluctuating in our love for Allah (S) subject to our times of ease and difficulty is a sign of shirk, i.e. perceiving separation in the source of all things.

Surah Al-Qasas - Session 9
18/01/2015 Duración: 44min28:57-61. It is only through the institution of prophethood that mankind still exists on this planet. In this lecture: Allah (S) being in total control of provisions for all creatures; the Kaaba as a source of security and economic prosperity for the Quraysh; the consequences of igniting the fire of shirk and rebellion against Allah's authority; Divine rules that govern the destruction of a people; faith and good deeds as the currency of the Hereafter; remembrance in the dunya yields fruits in Paradise. Allah's Rahmah overrides the angelic assessment of mankind's ineligibility for mercy.

Surah Al-Qasas - Session 8
11/01/2015 Duración: 57min28:51-56. Shaykh Amin discusses several practical ramifications of these verses applicable in our times of free speech and expression. In this lecture: the mindset of a believer, submitting to the ruboobiyyah of Allah (S); acknowledging you have a Rabb is a prerequisite to believing; rejection by the world not reason enough to reject the truth; the twofold reward of sincere believers: firstly for their belief, and secondly, for their resilient persistence in it; repelling evil with good from a position of strength; refrain from vain discourse as an attribute of steadfast believers; example in Musa (A) engaging Fir'awn in debate from a position of strength. The passion of the believer is to honor the prophet (S), follow his example, and hold true to the believer's code of conduct. The greatest insult one can levy against the prophet (S) is to deny he is the last Messenger.
