Ayat 48 to 50 – (سورة مريم) Surah Maryam

َ ًّ۬ And I shall turn") ( َوأَ ۡع َت ِزلُ ُك ۡم َو َما َتۡد ُعو َن مِن ُدو ِن ٱّلل ِ َوأَۡد ُعو ا َر ِّبى َع َس ى أَ َّل أَ ُكو َن بِ ُد َعا ِء َر ِّبى َشقِ يا) – Ayah 48 away from you and from those whom you invoke besides Allâh. And I shall call upon my Lord; and I hope that I shall not be unblest in my invocation to my Lord.")

And I shall turn away from you): when Ibrahim (as) knew that his father is an enemy of") ( َوأَ ۡع َت ِزلُ ُك ۡم ) . Allah (swt), then he freed himself from him and did not seek forgiveness for him. Surah At Tawbah َ ۡ َ And) ( َو َما َكا َن ٱ ۡستِ ۡغ َفا ر إِۡب َرٲ ِهي َم ِِلبِي ِه إِ َّل َعن َمۡو ِع َد ة َو َع َد َها إِ َياه َف َل َما َت َب َي َن َل ه ۥۤ أَ َن ه ۥ َع د و ّ َ لِّلِ َت َب َرأ َ ِمن ۚه إِ َن إِۡب َرٲ ِهي َم َِل َوٲه َحلِي م) :114 Ibrâhîm’s (Abraham) invoking (of Allâh) for his father’s forgiveness was only because of a promise he [Ibrâhîm (Abraham)] had made to him (his father). But when it became clear to him [Ibrâhîm (Abraham)] that he (his father) is an enemy of Allâh, he dissociated himself from him. Verily Ibrâhîm (Abraham) was Awwah (one who invokes Allâh with humility, glorifies Him and remembers Him much) and was forbearing) Ibrahim (as) decided and declared to leave and separate from his people (اهجرني) and this took place after he was threatened and was thrown into the fire. The father said is to be cut-off (الهجر) .both mean separation, but in different ways – ( َوأَ ۡع َت ِزلُ ُك ۡم ) and Ibrahim (as) said hijra is to leave a disbelieving country to a believing country, and ,(القطيعة الجفاء) with complete hatred deserting the Quran and leaving it – (مهجورا) hijra is also to leave the sins. Don’t make the Quran but ,(اّلبتعاد مع عدم المشاركة) is to leave any interactions/socializing (اّلعتزال) .with hatred, subhan Allah -Some Muslims might have non .(مع تكرار المحاولة) if there’s a chance for dawah, then he will try complete separation with hatred, you still have to be dutiful – (الهجر) Muslim parents, you can’t do to the parents. When the people wanted to throw Ibrahim (as) into the fire, they undressed him as And .(حسبنا هللا و نعم الوكيل) well, subhan Allah. Jibreel came to Ibrahim (as) to help him and he said ق ۡل َنا َيٰـ َنا ر ) :then Allah (swt) told the fire to be cool and comfortable for Ibrahim (as). Surah Al Anbiya 69

We (Allâh) said: "O fire! Be you coolness and safety for Ibrâhim) ( كونِى َب ۡر دا َو َس َلٰـ ما َع َل ٰى إِۡب َرٲ ِهي َم (Abraham)!") On the Day of Judgement, people will be resurrected naked and the first to be dressed is Ibrahim (as) as a result of what he faced in the duniya, subhan Allah. and from those whom you invoke besides Allâh.): Ibrahim (as) also left what) ( َو َما َتۡد ُعو َن مِن ُدو ِن ٱ َّلل ِ) . they invoked – he left the idols they worshiped. The worship they performed is dua’a/calling and You will find those who worship idols, they call and invoke the .(الدعاء عبادة) invoking them, that’s why statues – all of which is shirk. Whether a person is invoking messengers, angels, or idols – it’s all shirk, it’s not a matter of being worse than the other. Ibrahim (as) and Lut (as) left their people as a result of this. And I shall call upon my Lord;): this reminds you when Zachariah (as) invoked Allah) ( َوأَۡد ُعو ا َر ِّبى) . (swt) – Ibrahim (as) left his people, with no father or family, so he was busy making dua’a to Allah (swt). This shows us if someone is going through this kind of situation – then be busy with making then you have an empty ,(اّلعتزال) dua’a to Allah (swt). When you leave and separate from others space that used to be occupied, so invoke Allah (swt) and be busy with reforming yourself – learning and understanding the Quran, acquiring knowledge, etc. Because if the time is idle then it’s very easy for the wiswas of the shaitan to take place – it comes especially when alone. And notice Ibrahim (as) invoked his Rabb, the Nurturer, the Reformer.

ًّ۬ :(".and I hope that I shall not be unblest in my invocation to my Lord) ( َع َس ى أَ َّل أَ ُكو َن بِ ُد َعا ِء َر ِّبى َشقِ يا) . when Zachariah (as) supplicated to Allah (swt), he affirmed that Allah (swt) will respond to him because He always has and always gives him. Don’t make dua’a with hesitation, don’t say, ‘if You wish to forgive me O Allah’, be firm and insist. Ibrahim (as) knows that when he calls on Allah (swt), then he won’t be left empty-handed. Ibrahim (as) has so much hope that Allah (swt) will respond to his dua’a. Though he left his people, he knows he is not alone because He has Allah (swt). Keep this Whoever leaves anything for Allah then he will be given – (من ترك شيئا لِّل عوضه هللا خيرا منه) as a rule better than what he left. You need to know for sure you will have something better. For example, someone might leave a haram job for Allah (swt), and this needs faith and sincerity to do it, then Allah (swt) will give him better quality than what he left. Look at Ibrahim (as) – Allah (swt) made him Khalil Allah, Father of the Prophets, a messenger of determination, children, righteous offspring. If you leave one bida’a, then Allah (swt) will open many sunnahs for you. If you leave one bad friend, Allah (swt) will bring you many good friends. When you make dua’a with ikhlas, Allah (swt) will respond to you for sure – it doesn’t mean you will see it immediately, maybe after sometime or on the Day of Judgement. But a dua’a that is responded to is accepted, meaning you get rewarded for it. A dua’a is not responded to or unaccepted if there is no ikhlas. And when Allah (swt) responds to the dua’a, then the person will not be miserable. But anyone calling to other than Allah (swt), then of course he will be miserable. You will notice that Ibrahim (as) is always making dua’a, anyone going to hajj is a response to Ibrahim’s dua’a, anyone praying is a response to Ibrahim’s dua’a, subhan Allah. Observe the dua’as of Ibrahim (as) in the Quran and you can always use the same dua’as mentioned in the Quran. Dua’a can change the qadr, with what is written with the angels. Omar bin Al Khattab (ra) said I don’t worry about the response of the dua’a but making the dua’a because he knows that Allah (swt) respond for sure, but it’s about making dua’a in the first place. You need to believe that when you make dua’a, at the same time Allah (swt) is responding to your dua’a and rewarding you, but you need to be patient. That’s why our test in this life is to be patient but in paradise you get whatever you want immediately, subhan Allah. ًّ۬ ۡ ًّ۬ So when he had) ( َف َل َما ٱ ۡع َت َز َل ُه ۡم َو َما َي ۡع ُب ُدو َن مِن ُدو ِن ٱ َّلل ِ َو َهۡب َنا َل ُه ۥۤ إِ ۡس َح ـ َق َو َي ۡع ُقو َ ۖب َو ُكل َج َعل َنا َنبِ يا) – Ayah 49 turned away from them and from those whom they worshipped besides Allâh, We gave him Ishâq (Isaac) and Ya'qûb (Jacob), and each one of them We made a Prophet) ًّ۬ ۡ ًّ۬ So when he had turned away) ( َف َل َما ٱ ۡع َت َز َل ُه ۡم َو َما َي ۡع ُب ُدو َن مِن ُدو ِن ٱ َّلل ِ َو َهۡب َنا َل ُه ۥۤ إِ ۡس َح ـ َق َو َي ۡع ُقو َب ۖ َو ُكل َج َعل َنا َنبِ يا) . from them and from those whom they worshipped besides Allâh, We gave him Ishâq (Isaac) and Ya'qûb (Jacob), and each one of them We made a Prophet): all of the ayat about Ibrahim (as) show he is truthful. Ibrahim (as) left what they’re calling to and he was given something better. He left his family and the shirk – Ibrahim (as) is haneefan Muslim, he is away from shirk, anytime there’s shirk, he goes away, subhan Allah. Allah (swt) gave him with better, he was gifted with children and they’re messengers, subhan Allah. It’s a mercy that Allah (swt) didn’t give him children while he (as) was with his disbelieving people – Allah (swt) gave him later after he) left them. Ibrahim (as) has two wives – Sarah and Hajar. As soon as left the disbelieving people, he had two children from the two (knowledgeable – Ismaeel (as/(عليم) wives – Is’haaq (as) and Ismaeel (as). Is’haaq (as) is described as forbearing. Banu Israel comes from the line of Yaqoob (as) who is the son of/(حليم) is described as

,The final messenger .(مغضوب عليهم) Is’haaq (as). Banu Israel had so much knowledge, yet they were came from the line of Ismaeel (as), but the Jews were so jealous and hated it that a ,(ﷺ) Prophet messenger came from the Arabs, from the line of Ismael (as), and not from the line of Is’haaq (as). They even migrated from Sham to the Arabian Peninsula, because they knew of the coming of the .(ﷺ) final messenger would appear there – Mohammed ۡ ًّ۬ And We gave them of Our Mercy (a) ( َو َو َهۡب َنا َل ُهم ِّمن َر ۡح َمتِ َنا َو َج َعل َنا َل ُه ۡم لِ َسا َن ِصۡد ق َعلِ يا) – Ayah 50 good provision in plenty), and We granted them honour on the tongues (of all the nations, i.e everybody remembers them with a good praise).)

And We gave them of Our Mercy (a good provision in plenty),): all of the) ( َو َو َهۡب َنا َل ُهم ِّمن َر ۡح َمتِ َنا) . righteous offspring that came from the lines of Is’haaq (as) / Ismael (as) – such as Musa (as), Eisa Maryam (as) – all of ,(ﷺ) as), Dawud (as), Suleiman (as), Yaqoob (as), Yusuf (as), Mohammed) them were gifted mercy from Allah (swt). What mercy was granted to them? o Beneficial knowledge o Righteous good deeds o Many offspring o Many of those offspring were righteous ۡ ًّ۬ and We granted them honour on the tongues (of all the nations, i.e) ( َو َج َعل َنا َل ُه ۡم لِ َسا َن ِصۡد ق َعلِ يا) . everybody remembers them with a good praise).): all of them were given a good reputation after they die. A truthful tongue means they will be talked about in truth and goodness after they die. We’re talking about when good people speak about them. And not only will they be praised, but they will be given a high position in the hearts of the people that they will be taken as good examples. We take the messengers as good examples.

May Allah (swt) have mercy on us and grant us the good reputation after death. Ameen.
