1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,720
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2
00:00:03,620 --> 00:00:05,900
The story of our mother Eve.

3
00:00:08,460 --> 00:00:09,859
O Eve.

4
00:00:10,099 --> 00:00:12,300
Why do they envy you?

5
00:00:14,250 --> 00:00:15,650
O Eve.

6
00:00:16,010 --> 00:00:19,210
Everyone today speaks of your rights.

7
00:00:19,370 --> 00:00:22,050
They demand the removal of injustice from you.

8
00:00:22,170 --> 00:00:24,370
They champion your causes.

9
00:00:24,489 --> 00:00:27,329
Everyone displays concern for you.

10
00:00:27,649 --> 00:00:31,929
Yet not one of them declares themselves your enemy.

11
00:00:32,369 --> 00:00:36,210
But they do not agree on a single path.

12
00:00:36,689 --> 00:00:39,890
Rather, their paths are contradictory and discordant.

13
00:00:40,409 --> 00:00:43,170
So, who is truly concerned for you?

14
00:00:43,609 --> 00:00:46,009
And who is truly your enemy?

15
00:00:46,899 --> 00:00:51,500
From here comes the importance of the story of Eve in the Holy Qur'an.

16
00:00:51,899 --> 00:00:54,060
Along with the identification of her primary enemy.

17
00:00:54,460 --> 00:00:57,579
And those among his soldiers who follow his path.

18
00:00:57,899 --> 00:01:02,500
And the method he employs to achieve his great goal.

19
00:01:02,780 --> 00:01:05,019
Which is to expel you from Paradise.

20
00:01:05,140 --> 00:01:07,620
And to have you accompany him in the Fire.

21
00:01:08,140 --> 00:01:10,620
So how can you recognize your enemy?

22
00:01:11,219 --> 00:01:12,180
First.

23
00:01:12,659 --> 00:01:15,579
Everyone claims to be an advisor to you.

24
00:01:15,700 --> 00:01:17,819
A defender of your rights.

25
00:01:18,180 --> 00:01:20,500
So who among them is truthful?

26
00:01:21,189 --> 00:01:23,189
Contemplate the story of Iblis.

27
00:01:23,310 --> 00:01:25,390
When he was expelled from Paradise.

28
00:01:25,790 --> 00:01:29,750
And our father Adam and our mother Eve were made to dwell therein.

29
00:01:30,230 --> 00:01:31,390
What did he do?

30
00:01:32,099 --> 00:01:33,299
Allah the Almighty says:

31
00:01:34,019 --> 00:01:38,260
"Get out of this, disgraced and expelled."

32
00:01:38,420 --> 00:01:46,060
"Whoever among them follows you, I will surely fill Hell with you all."

33
00:01:46,219 --> 00:01:53,540
"And O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat..."

34
00:01:53,859 --> 00:02:02,219
"...from wherever you will, but do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers."

35
00:02:02,420 --> 00:02:10,340
Then Satan whispered to them to reveal to them that which was hidden from them of their shame.

36
00:02:10,340 --> 00:02:19,500
“Then Satan whispered to them that he might manifest unto them that which was hidden from them of their shame, and he said: Your Lord forbade you from this tree only lest ye should become angels or become of the immortals.” (7:20)

37
00:02:19,539 --> 00:02:27,340
“Then Satan whispered to them that he might manifest unto them that which was hidden from them of their shame, and he said: Your Lord forbade you from this tree only lest ye should become angels or become of the immortals.” (7:20)

38
00:02:27,539 --> 00:02:34,419
“And he swore unto them (saying): Lo! I am a sincere adviser unto you.” (7:21)

39
00:02:35,900 --> 00:02:37,060
He swore by Allah.

40
00:02:37,340 --> 00:02:41,180
That he was a sincere advisor to our father Adam and our mother Eve.

41
00:02:41,780 --> 00:02:42,780
And the result?

42
00:02:43,259 --> 00:02:45,139
He caused them to be expelled from Paradise.

43
00:02:45,699 --> 00:02:50,219
Because he envied them for the blessing Allah had bestowed upon them.

44
00:02:51,219 --> 00:02:52,219
Second.

45
00:02:52,620 --> 00:02:57,379
You must realize, O Eve, that your enemy bears enmity toward you.

46
00:02:57,819 --> 00:03:04,539
Because you possess a great blessing that he does not, so he envies you for it.

47
00:03:05,379 --> 00:03:08,180
Ibn Jarir al-Tabari, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

48
00:03:08,780 --> 00:03:10,419
Allah said to Adam:

49
00:03:11,219 --> 00:03:17,139
"O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat from wherever you will."

50
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,680
So He, the Exalted in praise, caused Adam and his wife to dwell in Paradise.

51
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,919
After He had cast Iblis down from it and expelled him.

52
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:32,360
And He permitted them to eat of its fruits from wherever they wished.

53
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,800
And He forbade them from approaching the fruit of that specific tree.

54
00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:39,909
And Ibn Kathir, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

55
00:03:40,590 --> 00:03:46,990
Allah mentions that He permitted Adam, peace be upon him, and his wife Eve to dwell in Paradise.

56
00:03:47,550 --> 00:03:52,750
To eat from all its fruits except for one tree.

57
00:03:53,569 --> 00:03:57,210
The discussion regarding this has already preceded in Surah al-Baqarah.

58
00:03:57,930 --> 00:04:00,930
It was then that Satan envied them.

59
00:04:01,409 --> 00:04:04,449
And he strove in plotting, whispering, and deception.

60
00:04:04,969 --> 00:04:09,449
To strip them of the blessing and the fine clothing they were in.

61
00:04:10,479 --> 00:04:16,120
Third: What is the blessing that the Muslim woman possesses today?

62
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:19,480
That her enemy would envy her for it?

63
00:04:20,569 --> 00:04:22,209
They envy you, O Eve.

64
00:04:22,769 --> 00:04:26,209
Because you have ranks in Islam that they do not know.

65
00:04:26,649 --> 00:04:28,610
And do not find among themselves.

66
00:04:29,250 --> 00:04:32,449
And cannot achieve in their reality.

67
00:04:33,129 --> 00:04:37,089
For they know the woman as one severed from all connections.

68
00:04:37,689 --> 00:04:39,410
Toyed with by those who toy with her.

69
00:04:39,930 --> 00:04:44,290
Then discarded when they are finished, to go search for another.

70
00:04:45,209 --> 00:04:46,889
They envy you, O Eve.

71
00:04:47,410 --> 00:04:51,009
Because in Islam, you are a mother, honored and cherished.

72
00:04:51,769 --> 00:04:55,490
You have been granted three times the right of kindness over the father.

73
00:04:56,209 --> 00:05:00,610
And children are obligated to care for you and protect you if they desire Paradise.

74
00:05:01,399 --> 00:05:05,079
And your care has been prioritized over Jihad in the cause of Allah.

75
00:05:05,819 --> 00:05:07,819
For it is narrated from Mu'awiyah Ibn Jahimah:

76
00:05:08,540 --> 00:05:14,019
That Jahimah came to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and said:

77
00:05:14,740 --> 00:05:19,740
"O Messenger of Allah, I intended to go on a military expedition and I have come to seek your counsel."

78
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,160
He said: "Do you have a mother?"

79
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:26,000
He said: "Yes." He said:

80
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:30,600
"Stay with her, for Paradise is at her feet."

81
00:05:31,399 --> 00:05:32,480
Narrated by Ahmad.

82
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,959
Yet they do not know the mother and her merit.

83
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,720
And they do not mention her except for one day a year, if they mention her at all.

84
00:05:41,519 --> 00:05:42,879
As for her care.

85
00:05:43,399 --> 00:05:45,839
It is left to artificial care homes.

86
00:05:46,930 --> 00:05:48,610
They envy you, O Eve.

87
00:05:49,129 --> 00:05:50,889
Because if you are a maternal aunt.

88
00:05:51,449 --> 00:05:53,089
You have the rights of a mother.

89
00:05:53,769 --> 00:05:56,769
As the Prophet, peace be upon him, said:

90
00:05:57,329 --> 00:05:59,569
"The maternal aunt is in the position of the mother."

91
00:06:00,129 --> 00:06:01,490
Narrated by al-Bukhari.

92
00:06:02,470 --> 00:06:06,870
So your sister's children owe you the same rights they owe their mother.

93
00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:10,430
And your affection for them is like the affection of their mother.

94
00:06:11,180 --> 00:06:13,220
So those who do not know the mother.

95
00:06:13,620 --> 00:06:15,339
Will they know the maternal aunt?

96
00:06:16,579 --> 00:06:18,300
They envy you, O Eve.

97
00:06:18,819 --> 00:06:21,379
Because in Islam, you are a protected daughter.

98
00:06:21,939 --> 00:06:24,060
Caring for you is a shield from the Fire.

99
00:06:24,540 --> 00:06:26,500
And a cause for entering Paradise.

100
00:06:26,939 --> 00:06:30,259
And companionship with the Prophet, peace be upon him.

101
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,199
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:

102
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,600
"No man has two daughters reach maturity..."

103
00:06:38,199 --> 00:06:42,079
"...and he treats them well as long as they are with him or he is with them..."

104
00:06:42,519 --> 00:06:44,879
"...but they will cause him to enter Paradise."

105
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,759
Narrated by Ibn Majah.

106
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,879
And he, peace be upon him, said:

107
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,519
"Whoever is responsible for any of these girls and treats them well..."

108
00:06:55,079 --> 00:06:57,519
"...they will be a shield for him from the Fire."

109
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,519
Narrated by al-Bukhari.

110
00:07:00,459 --> 00:07:02,860
And he, peace be upon him, said:

111
00:07:03,459 --> 00:07:06,500
"Whoever supports two girls until they reach maturity..."

112
00:07:07,060 --> 00:07:09,980
"...will come on the Day of Resurrection, I and he..."

113
00:07:10,540 --> 00:07:11,980
And he joined his fingers.

114
00:07:12,579 --> 00:07:13,860
Narrated by Muslim.

115
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:15,560
As for them.

116
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,759
They do not know how to raise daughters.

117
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,160
And they pay them no heed.

118
00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:24,680
Once they reach eighteen years of age.

119
00:07:25,620 --> 00:07:27,379
They envy you, O Eve.

120
00:07:27,980 --> 00:07:32,620
Because in Islam, you are a wife with full marital rights.

121
00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:34,579
Allah the Almighty says:

122
00:07:35,100 --> 00:07:38,699
“Women who are divorced shall wait, keeping themselves apart, three (monthly) courses. And it is not lawful for them that they should conceal that which Allah hath created in their wombs if they are believers in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands would do better to take them back in that case if they desire a reconciliation. And they (women) have rights similar to those (of men) over them in kindness, and men are a degree above them. Allah is Mighty, Wise.” (2:228)

123
00:07:39,610 --> 00:07:43,649
And it is your right that the man provides for you in all your circumstances.

124
00:07:44,449 --> 00:07:45,970
The dowry at the time of marriage.

125
00:07:46,569 --> 00:07:48,410
And maintenance after marriage.

126
00:07:49,050 --> 00:07:51,290
Even the water you drink.

127
00:07:51,769 --> 00:07:54,329
He provides it for you in obedience to Allah.

128
00:07:55,540 --> 00:07:57,259
They envy you, O Eve.

129
00:07:57,819 --> 00:07:59,939
Because Islam has protected your honor.

130
00:08:00,579 --> 00:08:03,500
And imposed a punishment on whoever slanders it.

131
00:08:04,220 --> 00:08:05,420
Allah the Almighty said:

132
00:08:06,389 --> 00:08:09,709
"And those who accuse chaste women..."

133
00:08:09,709 --> 00:08:14,870
“And those who accuse honourable women but bring not four witnesses, scourge them (with) eighty stripes and never (afterward) accept their testimony - They indeed are evil-doers -” (24:4)

134
00:08:15,350 --> 00:08:21,629
“And those who accuse honourable women but bring not four witnesses, scourge them (with) eighty stripes and never (afterward) accept their testimony - They indeed are evil-doers -” (24:4)

135
00:08:21,629 --> 00:08:24,910
"...then lash them with eighty lashes."

136
00:08:25,189 --> 00:08:28,910
"...then lash them with eighty lashes."

137
00:08:28,910 --> 00:08:33,190
“And those who accuse honourable women but bring not four witnesses, scourge them (with) eighty stripes and never (afterward) accept their testimony - They indeed are evil-doers -” (24:4)

138
00:08:33,509 --> 00:08:38,389
"...and those are the defiantly disobedient."

139
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,000
And the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, counted:

140
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,559
Among the seven destructive sins.

141
00:08:46,159 --> 00:08:48,440
Slandering the honor of chaste women.

142
00:08:49,159 --> 00:08:49,960
He said:

143
00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:54,000
"...and slandering chaste, believing, unwary women."

144
00:08:54,779 --> 00:08:56,139
Narrated by al-Bukhari.

145
00:08:57,460 --> 00:08:59,220
They envy you, O Eve.

146
00:08:59,779 --> 00:09:02,539
Because Allah has honored you with a great religion.

147
00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:06,620
That preserved your dignity from the tampering of those who tamper.

148
00:09:07,220 --> 00:09:12,179
And protected you in a manner befitting the nature with which Allah created you.

149
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,480
So have you realized why they envy you?

150
00:09:16,389 --> 00:09:17,870
And know, O Eve.

151
00:09:18,470 --> 00:09:20,389
That bestowing blessings and honor.

152
00:09:20,710 --> 00:09:23,029
Is only for those who obey Allah.

153
00:09:23,710 --> 00:09:25,070
As for those who disobey Him.

154
00:09:25,669 --> 00:09:27,789
Their example is like that of Iblis.

155
00:09:28,190 --> 00:09:29,429
He was commanded and he disobeyed.

156
00:09:29,990 --> 00:09:32,350
So he deserved expulsion from the bliss.

157
00:09:33,340 --> 00:09:36,019
Al-Tahir Ibn 'Ashur, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

158
00:09:36,799 --> 00:09:40,279
In directing the address to Adam with this virtue.

159
00:09:40,759 --> 00:09:43,039
In the presence of Iblis after his expulsion.

160
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,840
There is an increase in humiliation.

161
00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:48,320
Because giving blessings to one who is pleased with.

162
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,600
While punishing one who deserves punishment.

163
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,679
Is an increase in heartbreak for the one being punished.

164
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,759
And a demonstration of the disparity between the one deserving of blessing.

165
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,679
And the one deserving of punishment.

166
00:10:01,429 --> 00:10:03,870
The speech would not convey the same meanings.

167
00:10:03,870 --> 00:10:06,870
As it does through the conjunction used in the narrated statement.

168
00:10:07,549 --> 00:10:09,470
And because if that were intended.

169
00:10:09,789 --> 00:10:11,509
The verb of saying would have been repeated.

170
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,960
Furthermore, if Adam was created in Paradise.

171
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,879
And was established therein beforehand.

172
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:19,879
Then the command in His saying:

173
00:10:20,279 --> 00:10:21,080
"Dwell."

174
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,600
Is merely a command of confirmation.

175
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:24,679
Meaning:

176
00:10:24,919 --> 00:10:26,120
Remain in Paradise.

177
00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:30,080
And if Adam was created outside of Paradise.

178
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,080
Then the command is for permission as an honor to him.

179
00:10:33,889 --> 00:10:35,210
Regardless of which it is.

180
00:10:35,730 --> 00:10:38,690
In this command, within the hearing of Iblis.

181
00:10:39,009 --> 00:10:40,730
Is a suppression of Iblis.

182
00:10:41,409 --> 00:10:45,490
Because if Iblis was established in Paradise beforehand.

183
00:10:45,970 --> 00:10:47,210
Then the suppression is evident.

184
00:10:47,850 --> 00:10:49,289
Since Allah expelled him.

185
00:10:49,850 --> 00:10:53,129
And caused the one he was too arrogant to prostrate to.

186
00:10:53,649 --> 00:10:57,649
To dwell in the honorable place that was his before his arrogance.

187
00:10:58,470 --> 00:11:01,950
And if Iblis was not dwelling in Paradise before.

188
00:11:02,509 --> 00:11:06,549
Then honoring the one he despised and felt superior to is a suppression of him.

189
00:11:07,389 --> 00:11:10,789
The placement of this speech in this Surah has indicated.

190
00:11:11,350 --> 00:11:14,389
A great meaning of the suppression of Iblis.

191
00:11:14,750 --> 00:11:18,190
In addition to what is in the verse of Surah al-Baqarah.

192
00:11:18,830 --> 00:11:21,789
Even if they are identical in wording.

193
00:11:22,509 --> 00:11:24,629
But this subtle meaning.

194
00:11:24,950 --> 00:11:26,710
Was derived from the context.

195
00:11:27,460 --> 00:11:30,659
And this is among the wonders of the inimitability of the Qur'an.

196
00:11:31,539 --> 00:11:35,340
And the reason for choosing this verse with this particularity is found.

197
00:11:36,019 --> 00:11:39,100
In that this speech is directed to the polytheists.

198
00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:43,179
Who took Satan as an ally instead of Allah.

199
00:11:44,019 --> 00:11:46,179
As for what is in Surah al-Baqarah.

200
00:11:46,740 --> 00:11:49,500
It is an admonition to the Children of Israel.

201
00:11:50,059 --> 00:11:54,419
And they are among those who should beware of Satan and not follow his footsteps.

202
00:11:55,610 --> 00:11:58,570
We will continue in a future meeting, if Allah wills.

203
00:11:59,289 --> 00:12:01,809
And praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.

204
00:12:03,450 --> 00:12:06,450
The story of our mother Eve.
