WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.600 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:04.690 --> 00:00:09.189 The story of Yusuf (peace be upon him) and the wife of al-'Aziz. 00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:13.919 “And he of Egypt who purchased him said unto his wife: Receive him honourably. Perchance he may prove useful to us or we may adopt him as a son. Thus we established Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah was predominant in His career, but most of mankind know not.” (12:21) 00:00:16.309 --> 00:00:18.109 In explaining the story of Yusuf. 00:00:18.809 --> 00:00:23.210 Allah has gathered several important themes in a single verse. 00:00:23.809 --> 00:00:25.109 For He, the Almighty, says: 00:00:26.030 --> 00:00:34.429 “And he of Egypt who purchased him said unto his wife: Receive him honourably. Perchance he may prove useful to us or we may adopt him as a son. Thus we established Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah was predominant in His career, but most of mankind know not.” (12:21) 00:00:34.630 --> 00:00:42.429 "Perhaps it will benefit us, or we may adopt him as a son." 00:00:43.030 --> 00:00:47.630 "And thus We established Yusuf in the land." 00:00:47.829 --> 00:00:52.829 “And he of Egypt who purchased him said unto his wife: Receive him honourably. Perchance he may prove useful to us or we may adopt him as a son. Thus we established Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah was predominant in His career, but most of mankind know not.” (12:21) 00:00:53.229 --> 00:00:57.630 “And he of Egypt who purchased him said unto his wife: Receive him honourably. Perchance he may prove useful to us or we may adopt him as a son. Thus we established Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah was predominant in His career, but most of mankind know not.” (12:21) 00:00:57.829 --> 00:01:03.229 "But most of the people do not know." 00:01:04.969 --> 00:01:07.170 This verse encompasses: 00:01:07.769 --> 00:01:10.969 The instruction of al-'Aziz to his wife to treat Yusuf honorably. 00:01:11.569 --> 00:01:13.569 The establishment of Yusuf in the land. 00:01:14.170 --> 00:01:16.969 And the teaching of Yusuf the interpretation of hadiths. 00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.599 Then Allah, the Almighty, concluded these themes by saying: 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.400 “And he of Egypt who purchased him said unto his wife: Receive him honourably. Perchance he may prove useful to us or we may adopt him as a son. Thus we established Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah was predominant in His career, but most of mankind know not.” (12:21) 00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:28.000 "But most of the people do not know." 00:01:28.859 --> 00:01:33.459 There is no strangeness in gathering such themes in one verse. 00:01:34.099 --> 00:01:37.900 For Allah, the Almighty, opened the Surah by saying: 00:01:38.299 --> 00:01:39.900 "Alif-Lam-Ra." 00:01:40.299 --> 00:01:42.900 "These are the verses of the clear Book." 00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:48.900 “Lo! We have revealed it, a Lecture in Arabic, that ye may understand.” (12:2) 00:01:49.689 --> 00:01:53.090 Whoever contemplates the story of Yusuf (peace be upon him), 00:01:53.489 --> 00:01:58.489 finds that the details of its events are never devoid of the theme of plotting and scheming. 00:01:59.090 --> 00:02:01.090 Either by explicitly mentioning them, 00:02:01.290 --> 00:02:03.290 or by what indicates them. 00:02:03.689 --> 00:02:05.290 Such as His saying, the Almighty: 00:02:06.090 --> 00:02:11.490 “He said: O my dear son! Tell not thy brethren of thy vision, lest they plot a plot against thee. Lo! Satan is for man an open foe.” (12:5) 00:02:12.090 --> 00:02:16.090 “He said: O my dear son! Tell not thy brethren of thy vision, lest they plot a plot against thee. Lo! Satan is for man an open foe.” (12:5) 00:02:16.689 --> 00:02:17.889 And He, the Almighty, says: 00:02:18.490 --> 00:02:24.889 “So when he saw his shirt torn from behind, he said: Lo! this is of the guile of you women. Lo! the guile of you is very great.” (12:28) 00:02:25.289 --> 00:02:27.689 "Indeed, your plot is great." 00:02:28.289 --> 00:02:29.490 And He, the Almighty, says: 00:02:30.090 --> 00:02:34.490 “He said: O my Lord! Prison is more dear than that unto which they urge me, and if Thou fend not off their wiles from me I shall incline unto them and become of the foolish.” (12:33) 00:02:34.889 --> 00:02:40.889 “He said: O my Lord! Prison is more dear than that unto which they urge me, and if Thou fend not off their wiles from me I shall incline unto them and become of the foolish.” (12:33) 00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:42.919 And He, the Almighty, says: 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:49.520 “And when she heard of their sly talk, she sent to them and prepared for them a cushioned couch (to lie on at the feast) and gave to every one of them a knife and said (to Joseph): Come out unto them! And when they saw him they exalted him and cut their hands, exclaiming: Allah Blameless! This is no a human being. This is not other than some gracious angel.” (12:31) 00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.520 “And when she heard of their sly talk, she sent to them and prepared for them a cushioned couch (to lie on at the feast) and gave to every one of them a knife and said (to Joseph): Come out unto them! And when they saw him they exalted him and cut their hands, exclaiming: Allah Blameless! This is no a human being. This is not other than some gracious angel.” (12:31) 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:56.120 And He says: "Come out before them." 00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:01.120 "And when they saw him, they greatly admired him and cut their hands." 00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:04.919 "And said, 'Exalted is Allah! This is not a man.'" 00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:08.319 “And when she heard of their sly talk, she sent to them and prepared for them a cushioned couch (to lie on at the feast) and gave to every one of them a knife and said (to Joseph): Come out unto them! And when they saw him they exalted him and cut their hands, exclaiming: Allah Blameless! This is no a human being. This is not other than some gracious angel.” (12:31) 00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:10.319 And He, the Almighty, says: 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.520 “So his Lord heard his prayer and fended off their wiles from him. Lo! He is Hearer, Knower.” (12:34) 00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:17.719 "Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing." 00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:19.520 And He, the Almighty, says: 00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:22.120 "And the King said, 'Bring him to me.'" 00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:26.919 “And the king said: Bring him unto me. And when the messenger came unto him, he (Joseph) said: Return unto thy lord and ask him what was the case of the women who cut their hands. Lo! my Lord knoweth their guile.” (12:50) 00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:31.719 "So ask him what is the case of the women who cut their hands." 00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:35.319 “And the king said: Bring him unto me. And when the messenger came unto him, he (Joseph) said: Return unto thy lord and ask him what was the case of the women who cut their hands. Lo! my Lord knoweth their guile.” (12:50) 00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:37.319 And He, the Almighty, says: 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:41.520 “(Then Joseph said: I asked for) this, that he (my lord) may know that I betrayed him not in secret, and that surely Allah guideth not the snare of the betrayers.” (12:52) 00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:45.919 “(Then Joseph said: I asked for) this, that he (my lord) may know that I betrayed him not in secret, and that surely Allah guideth not the snare of the betrayers.” (12:52) 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:47.919 And He, the Almighty, says: 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:52.520 "That is from the news of the unseen which We reveal to you." 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:58.120 “This is of the tidings of the Unseen which We inspire in thee (Muhammad). Thou wast not present with them when they fixed their plan and they were scheming.” (12:102) 00:03:58.580 --> 00:04:02.580 Despite all these verses and others in the story of Yusuf, 00:04:02.780 --> 00:04:05.979 which indicate the plotting and scheming against Yusuf, 00:04:06.379 --> 00:04:10.580 Allah, the Almighty, gave us glad tidings at the beginning of the story, 00:04:10.580 --> 00:04:13.180 and with the very first of its events, by saying: 00:04:13.580 --> 00:04:16.779 "And thus We established Yusuf in the land." 00:04:16.779 --> 00:04:20.180 “And he of Egypt who purchased him said unto his wife: Receive him honourably. Perchance he may prove useful to us or we may adopt him as a son. Thus we established Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah was predominant in His career, but most of mankind know not.” (12:21) 00:04:20.819 --> 00:04:23.220 “And he of Egypt who purchased him said unto his wife: Receive him honourably. Perchance he may prove useful to us or we may adopt him as a son. Thus we established Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah was predominant in His career, but most of mankind know not.” (12:21) 00:04:23.620 --> 00:04:27.019 "But most of the people do not know." 00:04:27.740 --> 00:04:31.339 He, the Almighty, gave us glad tidings of the establishment of Yusuf in the land, 00:04:31.740 --> 00:04:36.339 and reassured our hearts that there is no one who can overcome His command. 00:04:36.740 --> 00:04:41.939 Meaning, if He wills something, it cannot be turned back, prevented, or opposed. 00:04:42.339 --> 00:04:44.540 Rather, He is the Overcomer of all else. 00:04:45.180 --> 00:04:47.180 “And he of Egypt who purchased him said unto his wife: Receive him honourably. Perchance he may prove useful to us or we may adopt him as a son. Thus we established Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah was predominant in His career, but most of mankind know not.” (12:21) 00:04:47.779 --> 00:04:52.980 His command is effective; no one can invalidate it, and no one can overcome it. 00:04:53.870 --> 00:04:58.069 Ya'qub (peace be upon him) wanted to hide the matter of the vision that Yusuf saw, 00:04:58.470 --> 00:05:02.870 so that his brothers would not know of it, lest they plot against him. 00:05:03.269 --> 00:05:06.069 But Allah is predominant over His command. 00:05:06.470 --> 00:05:08.870 So they learned of it and plotted against him. 00:05:09.699 --> 00:05:13.699 Yusuf’s brothers wanted to remove Yusuf from their father’s sight, 00:05:14.100 --> 00:05:15.699 to monopolize his heart. 00:05:16.300 --> 00:05:19.100 But Allah is predominant over His command. 00:05:19.699 --> 00:05:23.500 So Ya'qub’s attachment to Yusuf (peace be upon them both) only increased. 00:05:24.389 --> 00:05:28.790 Yusuf’s brothers wanted to hide his affair by casting him into the well, 00:05:29.589 --> 00:05:32.389 but Allah is predominant over His command. 00:05:32.990 --> 00:05:36.790 So he was raised until he became the 'Aziz of Egypt. 00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:41.519 The wife of al-'Aziz wanted to lure Yusuf into temptation, 00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:45.319 so she prepared the means and locked the doors. 00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.720 But Allah is predominant over His command. 00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:53.120 So He protected Yusuf and shielded him from falling into the temptation. 00:05:54.050 --> 00:05:57.449 The wife of al-'Aziz wanted to deflect the accusation from herself, 00:05:58.050 --> 00:06:00.050 so she hastened to accuse Yusuf. 00:06:00.649 --> 00:06:03.649 But Allah is predominant over His command. 00:06:04.250 --> 00:06:07.850 A witness from her own family testified to Yusuf’s innocence, 00:06:08.250 --> 00:06:10.449 and the accusation was proven against her. 00:06:11.269 --> 00:06:14.470 Thus, the events in the story of Yusuf unfold: 00:06:15.069 --> 00:06:17.269 They scheme and plot against him, 00:06:17.670 --> 00:06:20.870 but Allah is predominant over His command. 00:06:21.829 --> 00:06:25.029 Plotting and scheming in this era are of two types: 00:06:25.629 --> 00:06:28.230 One type relates to the laws of Islam, 00:06:28.629 --> 00:06:31.629 and one type relates to the carriers of this religion, 00:06:31.829 --> 00:06:34.230 those who convey the message from the Lord of the worlds, 00:06:34.629 --> 00:06:37.629 from among the scholars, callers, and reformers. 00:06:38.620 --> 00:06:40.819 As for the plotting against the laws of Islam, 00:06:41.220 --> 00:06:43.420 it is through raising doubts, 00:06:43.819 --> 00:06:45.819 attacking the fundamentals of the religion, 00:06:46.220 --> 00:06:48.620 stirring up controversial issues, 00:06:49.019 --> 00:06:53.220 and casting doubt on everything that is necessarily known of the religion. 00:06:53.620 --> 00:06:58.420 It is also by making people doubt their acts of worship and distracting them from the obedience of their Lord. 00:06:59.220 --> 00:07:03.019 They only do this to extinguish the light of Islam. 00:07:03.620 --> 00:07:08.019 Allah, the Exalted in His highness, has exposed them in His Book, saying: 00:07:08.620 --> 00:07:12.620 “Fain would they put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah disdaineth (aught) save that He shall perfect His light, however much the disbelievers are averse.” (9:32) 00:07:13.220 --> 00:07:18.620 “Fain would they put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah disdaineth (aught) save that He shall perfect His light, however much the disbelievers are averse.” (9:32) 00:07:19.220 --> 00:07:23.220 "It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth," 00:07:23.819 --> 00:07:28.220 "to manifest it over all religion, although the polytheists dislike it." 00:07:28.819 --> 00:07:30.220 And He, the Almighty, says: 00:07:30.819 --> 00:07:34.420 “Fain would they put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light however much the disbelievers are averse.” (61:8) 00:07:35.019 --> 00:07:39.220 “Fain would they put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light however much the disbelievers are averse.” (61:8) 00:07:39.819 --> 00:07:43.819 "It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth," 00:07:44.420 --> 00:07:48.620 "to manifest it over all religion, although the polytheists dislike it." 00:07:49.579 --> 00:07:51.180 For Allah, the Exalted in His highness, 00:07:51.779 --> 00:07:56.379 did not send His Messenger (peace be upon him) with this great religion, 00:07:56.779 --> 00:07:59.379 except to manifest it over all religion. 00:08:00.050 --> 00:08:03.850 So no matter how hard the haters work to extinguish the light of this religion, 00:08:04.250 --> 00:08:06.850 they will not be able to, and they will not succeed. 00:08:07.449 --> 00:08:09.649 Ibn Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) said: 00:08:10.250 --> 00:08:11.649 "Allah, the Almighty, says," 00:08:12.050 --> 00:08:16.050 "these disbelievers from among the polytheists and the People of the Book desire," 00:08:16.449 --> 00:08:18.250 “Fain would they put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah disdaineth (aught) save that He shall perfect His light, however much the disbelievers are averse.” (9:32) 00:08:18.649 --> 00:08:22.250 "meaning what His Messenger (peace be upon him) was sent with," 00:08:22.250 --> 00:08:24.250 "of guidance and the religion of truth," 00:08:24.649 --> 00:08:27.250 "merely by their arguing and their fabrications." 00:08:27.850 --> 00:08:29.449 Their likeness in that, 00:08:29.850 --> 00:08:32.850 is like someone who wants to extinguish the rays of the sun, 00:08:32.850 --> 00:08:34.850 or the light of the moon by blowing at it. 00:08:35.250 --> 00:08:37.250 There is no way to achieve this. 00:08:37.850 --> 00:08:42.049 Likewise, that which His Messenger (peace be upon him) was sent with, 00:08:42.450 --> 00:08:44.649 must be completed and manifested. 00:08:45.250 --> 00:08:50.049 Therefore, He, the Almighty, said, countering them in what they sought and desired: 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:55.879 “Fain would they put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah disdaineth (aught) save that He shall perfect His light, however much the disbelievers are averse.” (9:32) 00:08:56.809 --> 00:09:00.610 We should not be overcome by sadness and fear for this religion, 00:09:01.210 --> 00:09:05.210 when we see such scheming and plotting against Islam and its people, 00:09:05.809 --> 00:09:08.610 and when we see such a fierce attack, 00:09:08.610 --> 00:09:10.610 on the fundamentals of Islam, 00:09:10.809 --> 00:09:12.610 and its great laws. 00:09:13.210 --> 00:09:18.210 For this plot will turn back upon them, sooner or later. 00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:20.039 The Almighty says: 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:23.639 “(Shown in their) behaving arrogantly in the land and plotting evil; and the evil plot encloseth but the men who make it. Then, can they expect aught save the treatment of the folk of old? Thou wilt not find for Allah's way of treatment any substitute, nor wilt thou find for Allah's way of treatment aught of power to change.” (35:43) 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:27.440 “(Shown in their) behaving arrogantly in the land and plotting evil; and the evil plot encloseth but the men who make it. Then, can they expect aught save the treatment of the folk of old? Thou wilt not find for Allah's way of treatment any substitute, nor wilt thou find for Allah's way of treatment aught of power to change.” (35:43) 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.639 "So do they await except the way of the former peoples?" 00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:35.440 "For you will not find in the way of Allah any change," 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.240 "and you will not find in the way of Allah any alteration." 00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:46.039 "Have they not traveled through the land and observed how was the end of those before them?" 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.840 “Have they not travelled in the land and seen the nature of the consequence for those who were before them, and they were mightier than these in power? Allah is not such that aught in the heavens or in the earth escapeth Him. Lo! He is the Wise, the Mighty.” (35:44) 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:55.039 “Have they not travelled in the land and seen the nature of the consequence for those who were before them, and they were mightier than these in power? Allah is not such that aught in the heavens or in the earth escapeth Him. Lo! He is the Wise, the Mighty.” (35:44) 00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:58.639 “Have they not travelled in the land and seen the nature of the consequence for those who were before them, and they were mightier than these in power? Allah is not such that aught in the heavens or in the earth escapeth Him. Lo! He is the Wise, the Mighty.” (35:44) 00:09:59.629 --> 00:10:03.830 Allah, the Almighty, declares His decree for the manifestation of the religion of truth, 00:10:04.230 --> 00:10:07.429 with which He sent His Messenger, over all religion. 00:10:07.830 --> 00:10:10.230 With this comprehensive and general meaning, 00:10:10.830 --> 00:10:13.629 sovereignty will belong to Allah alone, 00:10:14.230 --> 00:10:20.029 and the manifestation will be for the methodology in which sovereignty for Allah alone is embodied. 00:10:20.789 --> 00:10:26.389 This was realized once at the hands of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), 00:10:26.789 --> 00:10:31.789 and his successors, and those who came after them for a long period of time. 00:10:32.389 --> 00:10:34.990 The religion of truth was the most manifest and the most dominant, 00:10:35.590 --> 00:10:41.590 and the religions in which sovereignty was not purely for Allah were fearful and trembling. 00:10:42.389 --> 00:10:46.389 Then the followers of the religion of truth abandoned it step by step, 00:10:46.590 --> 00:10:52.190 due to factors inherent in the structure of Islamic societies on one hand, 00:10:52.590 --> 00:10:56.990 and due to the long-term, multi-method war, 00:10:57.389 --> 00:11:02.990 which its enemies—from among the polytheists and the People of the Book alike—declared against it. 00:11:03.590 --> 00:11:06.590 But this is not the end of the journey. 00:11:07.190 --> 00:11:08.990 The promise of Allah stands, 00:11:09.389 --> 00:11:11.389 awaiting the Muslim group, 00:11:11.789 --> 00:11:14.190 that carries the banner and moves forward, 00:11:14.590 --> 00:11:16.789 starting from the starting point, 00:11:17.190 --> 00:11:21.990 from which the steps of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) began, 00:11:22.389 --> 00:11:25.990 as he carried the religion of truth and moved by the light of Allah. 00:11:27.009 --> 00:11:32.009 What is required of us is to work for the victory of His religion by all possible means. 00:11:32.610 --> 00:11:34.210 And whoever supports the religion of Allah, 00:11:34.610 --> 00:11:37.809 Allah will support him and keep him firm upon this religion. 00:11:38.409 --> 00:11:39.610 The Almighty says: 00:11:40.210 --> 00:11:42.409 "O you who have believed," 00:11:42.409 --> 00:11:47.210 “O ye who believe! If ye help Allah, He will help you and will make your foothold firm.” (47:7) 00:11:47.809 --> 00:11:52.009 "And those who disbelieved—so misery will be for them, and He will lead them astray from their deeds." 00:11:52.610 --> 00:11:56.210 “That is because they are averse to that which Allah hath revealed, therefor maketh He their actions fruitless.” (47:9) 00:11:56.210 --> 00:11:58.009 "So He rendered their deeds worthless." 00:11:58.669 --> 00:12:00.669 "Have they not traveled through the land," 00:12:00.669 --> 00:12:05.070 "and observed how was the end of those before them?" 00:12:05.470 --> 00:12:07.470 "Allah destroyed them," 00:12:07.470 --> 00:12:09.870 "and for the disbelievers is something like it." 00:12:10.500 --> 00:12:14.299 “That is because Allah is patron of those who believe, and because the disbelievers have no patron.” (47:11) 00:12:14.500 --> 00:12:17.899 “That is because Allah is patron of those who believe, and because the disbelievers have no patron.” (47:11) 00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:22.559 As for the second type of plotting and scheming in this era, 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.759 it is the plotting against the carriers of this religion who defend it, 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:29.960 from among the scholars, callers, and reformers. 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:32.759 The goal of this plotting and scheming, 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:36.559 is to distance the scholars from influencing societies, 00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:39.559 and from clarifying the truth and refuting falsehood, 00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:43.559 so that people may live in heedlessness regarding their religion. 00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:46.960 Thus, it becomes easy for those who hate this religion, 00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:51.159 from among those with diseased hearts and those who follow their desires, 00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:56.960 to achieve their goals in corrupting societies and turning people away from the religion of Allah. 00:12:57.620 --> 00:12:58.820 The Almighty says: 00:12:59.419 --> 00:13:02.419 “And Allah would turn to you in mercy; but those who follow vain desires would have you go tremendously astray.” (4:27) 00:13:02.820 --> 00:13:08.419 “And Allah would turn to you in mercy; but those who follow vain desires would have you go tremendously astray.” (4:27) 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:13.879 In the story of Yusuf with the wife of al-'Aziz, there is a lesson for those who take heed. 00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:17.080 For whoever follows the path of the prophets, 00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:19.879 will not be free from exposure to trials. 00:13:20.509 --> 00:13:23.710 And trials are the beginning of establishment in the land. 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:27.799 The enemies of the religion and the followers of desires will continue, 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:30.600 to plot against the reformers in the land. 00:13:31.230 --> 00:13:34.029 But Allah is predominant over His command. 00:13:34.629 --> 00:13:38.230 He has promised victory to the believers who defend this religion, 00:13:38.830 --> 00:13:42.429 who enjoin good and forbid evil. 00:13:42.830 --> 00:13:45.429 But people are impatient. 00:13:46.029 --> 00:13:47.230 The Almighty says: 00:13:47.830 --> 00:13:51.429 “Lo! Allah defendeth those who are true. Lo! Allah loveth not each treacherous ingrate.” (22:38) 00:13:51.830 --> 00:13:56.029 “Lo! Allah defendeth those who are true. Lo! Allah loveth not each treacherous ingrate.” (22:38) 00:13:56.730 --> 00:14:00.929 So, has it become clear to us who the enemies of the religion are in this era? 00:14:01.529 --> 00:14:06.529 And who is it that wants to extinguish the light of Allah which He sent down upon His Prophet? 00:14:07.129 --> 00:14:12.929 And who are the followers of desires who want to spread immorality among the people? 00:14:13.789 --> 00:14:15.190 The discussion continues. 00:14:15.190 --> 00:14:18.990 We will complete it in a future meeting, if Allah wills.
