1 Tafseer of surah Baqarah 13 th march 2012 Recap: We said of how Allah Subahanawatha'la will test us with various things! And we need to remember when Allah az awajal afflicts us it doesn t mean he wants to punish us or doesn t love us; it is to make us better and raise up in ranks! Because there are people who after calamities they get better and get nearer to Allah az awajal! But there are those who are the opposite and after calamities they go to kuffr and become worse So Subahanallah Allah Subahanawatha'la is testing us to see if we really want the guidance and if we are genuine about it then after the test we will go forward but the ones who don t really want the guidance they will go backwards! In the time of calamities: So we said how a believer in any calamity that befalls him he will really think GOOD of Allah az awajal and will never question the decree of Allah! And he will trust in Allah Subahanawatha'la and know that whatever the calamity it has a good Hiqmah and this calamity will make it more polished! But then the Munaafiq and the Kaafir: the calamity will make him go backwards.he will complain and talk bad and misbehave with everyone and even kill themselves..these are the Kaafir or Munaafiqs who have no faith. In the time of good: For the believer when Allah Subahanawatha'la provides for him, he will feel more and be alert more and be more afraid almost..some of the salaf whenever a blessing came to them they were scared and would make dua: ya rabbi don t decrease my reward on the day of judgment! Subahanallah! So this is a test when Allah Subahanawatha'la gives you more, you take it and use it but you are afraid, not totally relaxed you will always remind yourself that this is not Jannah! Whenever the prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam was given something good then he would say: Allahumma la aisha illa aish-al-aakhirah- O Allah! The real and everlasting life is the life of the Hereafter But the Munaafiq and Kaafir when he gets the good, he will be thinking that Allah is pleased with him and he is spoilt and forgets Allah and gets caught up in the blessings!

2 Ayat 156 اذ ن إ ذ ا أ م وا إ و إ إ ر ا ون.156 Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "Truly! To Allâh we belong and truly, to Him we shall return." So we learn from the Quran where Allah Subahanawatha'la tells us of what they will do or what they will say. Museebah : means like a trial a big trial! A calamity that is really painful! E.g.: when you lose money or lose things in your life isn t this painful? So this museebah is either in your body or in your heart! Body: where you get sick or something. Heart: when you lose something and in your heart u feel no one can replace it وا say? Then what do the believers So Subahanallah when calamities happen we worry and get upset.sometimes before the calamities there are people who predict what will happen and are always negative thinking oh this is going to happen and what if so and so is taken away etc.. This is actually a waswaas of the shaitan! But the believer is never like this! The believer stays positive! And Allah Subahanawatha'la is teaching us إ و إ إ ر ا ون say: what these believers Now this consists of 2 parts: 1. Part 1 - Verily we all belong to Allah! He can do what He wills with us! We are His slaves إ and Allah Subahanawatha'la is our creator and we are UNDER HIS control! We cannot dispose our own affairs right! Then Allah Subahanawatha'la has the full right! You are all under Allah's control and we all know that He is more merciful than a mother towards her children! So Allah s mercy is so vast! Subahanallah! So the believer is content with the calamity, pleased, and he makes Shukr to Allah Subahanawatha'la! Because he knows he is under Allah az awajal! There was a man in the time of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and he had a small boy and this boy got a fever when the father wasn t there and the boy passed away in the house..then the mother she was wondering how to tell her husband about the death of the husband! So when her

3 husband came he found the wife dressed up really beautiful that day and she was talking to the husband nicely! And she asked him: imagine if the neighbor gave you something and they came and asked for it back will you then give it back? Then the husband said: yes I will give it back And then she told him that Allah Subahanawatha'la has taken your son away. Then the husband was so angry and he went to the prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and said of what happened and then the prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said: may Allah Subahanawatha'la bless your night! And Subahanallah that night the wife was found to be carrying a child! Subahanallah! So this is the - إ! And this was to do with losing a human. إ و إ إ ر ا ونsay But even if you lose money or if you lose anything you just Therefore this is the first pillar of faith: BELIEF IN ALLAH this will give a comfort to the person because he will realize that و إ إ ر ا ون 2: 2. Part eventually all of it will go and there is no point being sad etc they will never be upset with the calamities! But there are people who say: oh the more faith you have the more calamities you get so I better stay away and not have faith.but this is not an option for us because the faith is so valuable! When any problem occurs it will happen and never think it will just occur to those who are increased in faith! This is just the shaitan whispering to you! The believer his attitude will be different.because he knows that Allah Subahanawatha'la decreed your life already and you cannot change it. He will want to increase his faith always so that he can face the test and pass it! So this second part is: BELIEF IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT! So if a calamity occurs if you are patient through it then you will get the ajar. And let s see what Allah Subahanawatha'la promised to these people: we will see the promise of Allah and this is from Allah az awajal s name: Al Mu min!!!!!!!!!
