1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,050 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The story of Maryam, daughter of Imran, peace be upon her. 2 00:00:13,050 --> 00:00:19,910 Mary’s submission to God’s command 3 00:00:19,910 --> 00:00:26,300 The truth of a woman’s Islam is evident in her extent of submission to God’s command. 4 00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:30,179 This is the standard of faith for all people 5 00:00:30,179 --> 00:00:37,380 It is one of the biggest issues around which the meanings of the verses and stories in Surat Al-Baqarah revolve 6 00:00:37,380 --> 00:00:47,009 Our Lord Almighty praised His Prophet and friend Abraham, peace and blessings be upon him, by surrendering to him. 7 00:00:47,009 --> 00:00:48,689 And he said 8 00:00:48,689 --> 00:00:57,369 Whoever turns away from the religion of Abraham except one who fools himself 9 00:00:57,369 --> 00:01:07,049 We have chosen him in this world, and in the Hereafter he will be among the righteous 10 00:01:07,049 --> 00:01:16,799 When his Lord said to him, “I submit,” he said, “I submit to the Lord of the Worlds.” 11 00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:27,519 Al-Saadi, may God have mercy on him, said when his Lord said to him, “I submit to Islam.” He said, “In compliance with the command of his Lord, I have submitted to the Lord of the Worlds.” 12 00:01:27,519 --> 00:01:32,430 Sincerity, unity, love and representation 13 00:01:32,430 --> 00:01:38,989 A woman's faith increases or decreases according to her submission to God's command and law 14 00:01:38,989 --> 00:01:46,349 Ibn Taymiyyah, may God have mercy on him, said that Islam includes submission to God alone 15 00:01:46,349 --> 00:01:50,590 Whoever surrenders to him and to others is a polytheist 16 00:01:50,590 --> 00:01:55,310 Whoever does not submit to Him is arrogant in worshiping Him 17 00:01:55,390 --> 00:02:00,409 Anyone who polytheizes Him and is arrogant in worshiping Him is an unbeliever 18 00:02:00,409 --> 00:02:07,129 Surrendering to Him alone includes worshiping Him alone and obeying Him alone 19 00:02:07,129 --> 00:02:12,169 This is the religion of Islam, other than which God does not accept 20 00:02:12,169 --> 00:02:16,409 This can only be done by being obeyed at all times 21 00:02:16,409 --> 00:02:20,400 By doing what he was ordered to do at that time 22 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:25,039 This is the conclusion mentioned by Ibn Taymiyyah, may God have mercy on him 23 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,240 Summarizes the issue of surrender for you 24 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,159 It is to obey God Almighty at all times 25 00:02:32,159 --> 00:02:36,460 Do what I told you to do at that time 26 00:02:36,460 --> 00:02:39,500 And when you look at the story of Mary 27 00:02:39,500 --> 00:02:43,740 And what God Almighty commanded her to do and wrote for her 28 00:02:43,740 --> 00:02:47,419 The one who became pregnant with Jesus while she was a chaste virgin 29 00:02:47,419 --> 00:02:49,659 Not touched by a man 30 00:02:49,659 --> 00:02:54,860 She did not object after she knew that this was the command of God Almighty 31 00:02:54,860 --> 00:02:58,300 That is why God Almighty said about it 32 00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:03,419 So she carried him and took him away to a far away place 33 00:03:03,419 --> 00:03:06,139 Ibn Kathir, may God have mercy on him, said 34 00:03:06,139 --> 00:03:09,180 God Almighty says about Mary 35 00:03:09,180 --> 00:03:14,219 It was when Gabriel told her about God Almighty what he said 36 00:03:14,219 --> 00:03:18,460 She surrendered to God Almighty's judgment 37 00:03:18,460 --> 00:03:23,259 And Mary, peace be upon him, before the good news of Jesus came to her 38 00:03:23,340 --> 00:03:27,819 She was eager to worship God in Jerusalem 39 00:03:27,819 --> 00:03:30,060 Away from people 40 00:03:30,060 --> 00:03:33,259 I have taken a veil from them 41 00:03:33,259 --> 00:03:35,659 Then the test of pregnancy came to her 42 00:03:35,659 --> 00:03:37,340 I succeeded in it 43 00:03:37,340 --> 00:03:41,099 Her status with God Almighty rose 44 00:03:41,099 --> 00:03:44,889 Until He made it a sign to the worlds 45 00:03:44,889 --> 00:03:46,810 God Almighty said 46 00:03:46,810 --> 00:03:49,210 And the one who protected her chastity 47 00:03:49,210 --> 00:03:51,530 So we breathed into it of our spirit 48 00:03:51,530 --> 00:03:56,009 And We made her and her son a sign to the worlds 49 00:03:56,009 --> 00:03:57,449 And he said 50 00:03:57,449 --> 00:04:01,050 And We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign 51 00:04:01,050 --> 00:04:06,990 We sheltered them in a hill with a clear and stable place 52 00:04:06,990 --> 00:04:13,389 God’s examination of His servants is a past year that does not change or change 53 00:04:13,389 --> 00:04:15,069 Even the prophets 54 00:04:15,069 --> 00:04:18,829 God will afflict them with the most severe types of affliction 55 00:04:18,829 --> 00:04:25,529 All of this is to show the extent of their submission to God’s command and law and their steadfastness in it 56 00:04:25,529 --> 00:04:27,470 God Almighty said 57 00:04:27,470 --> 00:04:39,389 People think that they will be left without saying, “We believe,” and they will not be tried 58 00:04:39,389 --> 00:04:44,990 We tried those before them 59 00:04:44,990 --> 00:04:54,430 May God teach us those who are truthful and teach us those who are liars 60 00:04:54,430 --> 00:04:57,149 Ibn Kathir, may God have mercy on him, said 61 00:04:57,149 --> 00:04:59,149 God Almighty said 62 00:04:59,149 --> 00:05:06,670 People think that they will be left without saying, “We believe,” and they will not be tried 63 00:05:06,670 --> 00:05:08,670 Denial interrogative 64 00:05:08,670 --> 00:05:14,910 It means that God Almighty must test His faithful servants 65 00:05:14,910 --> 00:05:17,709 According to their faith 66 00:05:17,709 --> 00:05:20,589 As stated in the authentic hadith 67 00:05:20,589 --> 00:05:23,709 The most afflicted people are the prophets 68 00:05:23,709 --> 00:05:25,389 Then the righteous 69 00:05:25,389 --> 00:05:28,029 Then the optimal, then the optimal 70 00:05:28,029 --> 00:05:30,910 A man will be tested according to his religion 71 00:05:30,910 --> 00:05:33,550 If he has solidity in his religion 72 00:05:33,550 --> 00:05:36,300 Increase his calamity 73 00:05:36,300 --> 00:05:39,579 Mary, peace be upon him, is one of the righteous deeds 74 00:05:39,579 --> 00:05:41,579 Because of the strength of her faith 75 00:05:41,579 --> 00:05:44,379 God tested her with a great matter 76 00:05:44,540 --> 00:05:47,339 It is pregnancy without politics 77 00:05:47,339 --> 00:05:54,620 How will she face her people when she is the one who is known for nothing but worship and devotion to her 78 00:05:54,620 --> 00:06:01,769 This is the test with which God Almighty tests His servants according to their faith 79 00:06:01,769 --> 00:06:07,449 To see the extent of their submission to His command and His law and the extent of their steadfastness towards Him 80 00:06:07,449 --> 00:06:09,709 This is a test 81 00:06:09,790 --> 00:06:14,910 Its aim is to clarify the truthful from the false in supplication of faith 82 00:06:14,910 --> 00:06:17,709 Al-Saadi, may God have mercy on him, said 83 00:06:17,709 --> 00:06:20,910 God Almighty tells us about the fullness of His wisdom 84 00:06:20,910 --> 00:06:25,870 His wisdom does not require that everyone who says he is a believer 85 00:06:25,870 --> 00:06:28,350 He claimed faith for himself 86 00:06:28,350 --> 00:06:33,310 To remain in a state in which they are safe from temptations and tribulations 87 00:06:33,310 --> 00:06:38,600 And do not expose them to anything that will confuse their faith and its weakness 88 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,399 If that were the case, they would 89 00:06:41,399 --> 00:06:44,360 He did not distinguish the truthful from the liar 90 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,839 And the right is the one who is wrong 91 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:51,959 But its Sunnah and custom were among the ancients and in this nation 92 00:06:51,959 --> 00:06:54,480 To afflict them 93 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,959 And from God's mercy toward His servants 94 00:06:56,959 --> 00:07:01,120 He helps the truthful ones with what He afflicts them with 95 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,920 It also happened in the story of Mary 96 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:09,040 God helped her confront her people with clear signs 97 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,600 Who spoke Jesus as an infant? 98 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,000 And his words are in the cradle 99 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,819 Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali, may God have mercy on him, said 100 00:07:17,819 --> 00:07:22,939 But God is kind to His faithful servants in these temptations 101 00:07:22,939 --> 00:07:26,699 He gives them patience and rewards them 102 00:07:26,699 --> 00:07:32,300 And do not throw them into a destructive and misleading temptation that will destroy their religion 103 00:07:32,300 --> 00:07:36,779 Rather, temptations pass over them and they are in good health 104 00:07:37,610 --> 00:07:40,410 Praying and believing is easy 105 00:07:40,410 --> 00:07:42,410 Because it is words 106 00:07:42,410 --> 00:07:46,410 But the truth of faith is revealed in the source of commitment 107 00:07:46,410 --> 00:07:49,930 The practicality required of both male and female Muslims 108 00:07:49,930 --> 00:07:53,209 Therefore, God denied the Bedouins 109 00:07:53,209 --> 00:07:56,089 As in the Almighty’s saying 110 00:07:56,089 --> 00:08:00,879 The Bedouins said, “We are safe.” 111 00:08:00,879 --> 00:08:05,839 Say, “You do not believe, but speak.” 112 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:12,480 We converted to Islam when faith entered your hearts 113 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,959 And if you obey God and His Messenger 114 00:08:16,959 --> 00:08:21,600 Nothing of your deeds will devour you 115 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,720 God is Forgiving and Merciful 116 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:33,840 The believers are only those who believe in God and His Messenger 117 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:40,029 Then they were not suspicious 118 00:08:40,029 --> 00:08:47,309 They strove with their money and their lives for the sake of God 119 00:08:47,309 --> 00:08:52,269 Those are the truthful ones 120 00:08:52,269 --> 00:08:56,110 Say, “Do you know God about your religion?” 121 00:08:56,110 --> 00:09:01,870 And God knows what is in the heavens and what is on earth 122 00:09:01,870 --> 00:09:06,029 And God is All-Knowing of all things 123 00:09:32,590 --> 00:09:36,429 He forbids you from being alone with a foreign man 124 00:09:36,429 --> 00:09:39,230 And mixing in the fields of work 125 00:09:39,230 --> 00:09:42,190 It is forbidden for you to go out wearing perfume 126 00:09:42,190 --> 00:09:44,990 He commanded you to obey your husband 127 00:09:44,990 --> 00:09:48,990 He created you as a female, different from a male 128 00:09:48,990 --> 00:09:52,750 All of this and other matters are part of God’s law and command 129 00:09:52,750 --> 00:09:57,549 It requires absolute and unquestionable surrender from you 130 00:09:57,549 --> 00:10:01,950 Because God does not command you to do something or forbid you to do something 131 00:10:02,029 --> 00:10:06,029 Except for your benefit in this world and the hereafter 132 00:10:06,029 --> 00:10:10,190 It is not enough to say it is true and I believe 133 00:10:10,190 --> 00:10:14,429 Then do not surrender to it or apply it 134 00:10:14,429 --> 00:10:18,909 It is not enough to say that you love God and His Messenger 135 00:10:18,909 --> 00:10:24,269 Then you do not comply with the command of God and His Messenger in the reality of your life 136 00:10:24,269 --> 00:10:30,269 Or you argue about the command of God and His Messenger when it contradicts your desires 137 00:10:30,350 --> 00:10:33,070 It contradicts the reality of societies 138 00:10:33,070 --> 00:10:36,029 For fear of societal pressure on you 139 00:10:36,029 --> 00:10:40,299 And their disapproval of you or their mockery of you 140 00:10:40,299 --> 00:10:45,399 All of this is contrary to submission to God’s command and law 141 00:10:45,399 --> 00:10:47,639 And look at the condition of the Jews 142 00:10:47,639 --> 00:10:51,240 When they opposed God's command with much controversy 143 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,679 What happened to them due to the stress on them in this world? 144 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,740 God Almighty said 145 00:10:57,740 --> 00:11:01,659 And when Moses said to his people: 146 00:11:01,659 --> 00:11:07,470 God commands you to slaughter a cow 147 00:11:07,470 --> 00:11:12,830 They said: Do you take us as a mocker? 148 00:11:12,830 --> 00:11:18,190 He said, “I seek refuge in God from being among the ignorant.” 149 00:11:18,190 --> 00:11:23,149 He said, “Pray for us, and your Lord will explain to us what it is.” 150 00:11:23,149 --> 00:11:34,350 He said that he says she is a cow, neither ripe nor virgin, in between 151 00:11:34,350 --> 00:11:37,230 So do what you are commanded 152 00:11:37,230 --> 00:11:42,750 He said, “Pray for us, and your Lord will show us what color it is.” 153 00:11:42,830 --> 00:11:49,950 He says he says it's a yellow cow 154 00:11:49,950 --> 00:11:54,590 Its bright color delights the beholders 155 00:11:54,590 --> 00:11:59,149 He said, “Pray for us, and your Lord will explain to us what it is.” 156 00:11:59,149 --> 00:12:07,230 The cow is too old for us 157 00:12:07,230 --> 00:12:14,590 And we, God willing, will be guided 158 00:12:14,590 --> 00:12:21,950 He said that he says she is a cow that cannot plow the ground 159 00:12:21,950 --> 00:12:27,149 Do not irrigate the tillage until it is clean and has no spots on it 160 00:12:27,149 --> 00:12:30,590 They said, "Now you have come with the truth." 161 00:12:30,590 --> 00:12:34,830 So they slaughtered
