This is about the Quran. This is not the Quran. This is just false poetry. Poetry of Muhammad. This is about the fire that a wife will set for her husband. I find solace in Muhammad's pain.

Speaker A
Slaves, spread these thorns in front of his house. This is the story of the man who disgraced Rasul Allah in the open market. People of Mecca, do not listen to this. This is my nephew Muhammad, and he is crazy, crazy.
Speaker A
Look at that madman. This is about Surah Al-Lahab. Often in Muslim families, children are made to memorize the Quran. Whether they understand or not, they should at least remember Surah Al-Lahab. Perhaps that is why today the Quran is
Speaker A
present in our homes but not in our hearts. What is Surah Al-Lahab? Listen, Abu Manal. Allah revealed Surah Al-Lahab mentioning Abu Lahab by name. It is God's protection, brother. Who was Umme Jameel, whose mention Allah made in this Surah?
Speaker A
Have you heard? What is it? Umme Jameel's necklace will become a rope around her neck in the hereafter. And what did this couple do that Allah criticized them by mentioning Abu Lahab by name in the Quran?
Speaker A
Allah will give them the punishment of fire. He says, "I will carry wood on my head." And most importantly, how this Surah is living proof of the miracles of the Quran. We will learn in this video. [Music] Masad Surah Al-Lahab was revealed in Mecca when
Speaker A
Abu Lahab crossed all limits of cruelty. He troubled Allah's Prophet, insulted him, and disgraced him in the open market. "My nephew has abandoned the religion of his ancestors," he said. "Believe in that one God? I have never heard anything more disgraceful."
Speaker A
It is surprising, but all this started that morning when the sun's rays kissed the land of Mecca. Camels ran across the sandy plains. Some were looking at themselves in the mirror early in the morning. Some were having breakfast, and some were still stretching in bed.
Speaker A
Hands were moving, and they had to break beds all day. And what is the work? Hey, are you going to keep sleeping?
Speaker A
But someone was climbing the Safa mountain. Who was on the mountain?
Speaker A
Muhammad. This was the mountain where the people of Mecca gathered each other. They shared something special. Climbing the Safa mountain, Allah's Prophet took a deep breath and then called out loudly. Ya Sabah [Music]
Speaker A
This was not the call to prayer. Nor was it the call of a merchant. It was a call of danger. It meant, "O people, get up and listen to me. You are in danger. Be alert. It seems some trouble has come."
Speaker A
People left their homes, their shops, their conversations. And when everyone gathered at the foot of Safa mountain, Allah's Prophet looked at them all. Then he asked them a question. O people, if I tell you that behind this mountain an enemy army is coming to attack you, will you believe me?
Speaker A
People shouted, "Yes, absolutely we will. Because you are truthful. You are trustworthy. You are Siddiq. You are Muhammad."
Speaker A
Hearing all these answers, Allah's Prophet paused for a moment. Then he said to them, "O people, I warn you of the coming punishment which is very severe, and worship the one Lord who is the owner of the entire universe."
Speaker A
Hearing this, suddenly the atmosphere changed. A screaming silence spread over their faces. They looked at each other in surprise. What is he saying? It is surprising. I have heard that one should not abandon the religion of their ancestors,
Speaker A
should not anger their gods. Then a man stood up, full of anger and hatred. He shouted, "Nephew, get lost! Ali Haza Jama'a Na." This phrase in Arabic meant, "May you be destroyed. May your hands break." Did you gather us here for this?
Speaker A
This man was none other than Rasul Allah's uncle, Abu Lahab. His curse hit the sky and came back to him. The pages of his fate were forever written with the punishment of Hell. But Allah had not yet informed His Prophet of this. Scholars say that if this Surah had been revealed at that time, the people of Mecca would have said, "How can we trust him? He speaks ill of his own."
Speaker A
Actually, in that era in Mecca, the uncle's status was equal to that of the father, especially when the biological father had passed away. Time passed. Allah's Prophet traveled from place to place spreading the message of worshiping Allah.
Speaker A
But Abu Lahab followed him everywhere. "What new poetry have you brought now?"
Speaker A
He even sent the respectable boys of the market after Muhammad (peace be upon him) and told them to throw stones at him. "Hit him! Hit him! Catch him! Hit him! Catch him!" But his cruelty did not stop there. His wife, that is Rasul Allah's aunt Umme Jameel,
Speaker A
who was an incredibly beautiful woman, troubled the Prophet in new ways. "You all are the big chiefs of Mecca. Then why don't you boycott Ahmad?"
Speaker A
"Right said. Boycott him."
Speaker A
"Yes, boycott him."
Speaker A
"Right said."
Speaker A
"Yes, boycott him."
Speaker A
And the limit was crossed when he ordered his two sons to divorce their wives because these wives were daughters of the Prophet (peace be upon him), Umme Kulthum and Ruqayyah (may Allah be pleased with them).
Speaker A
"Your face is forbidden to me. If you do not divorce your wives..."
Speaker A
"Father, we will divorce them today."
Speaker A
Days turned into evenings. Evenings turned into nights. But Abu Lahab's cruelty did not lessen. "O people of Mecca, your nephew has gone mad, mad. Do not listen to him." And when his cruelty crossed all limits,
Speaker A
Allah, the Exalted, revealed Surah Al-Lahab in the tenth year of prophethood.
Speaker A
Abu Hadi, now tell us the Surah that was revealed on the Prophet. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. Tabda Abi wa Tab Manahu Kasab Sat Hum Jihab
Speaker A
Masad. Now let's understand this Surah in a cinematic way, simply. The first verse is Tabat Yada Abi Lahab. In the first verse, Allah said that both hands of Abu Lahab are broken, and he is ruined.
Speaker A
Here, two things are worth noting. The first is that this entire verse is actually in the past tense. It is not that Abu Lahab's hands will break. Actually, his hands have already broken. The moment he insulted the Prophet of Allah, his hands broke.
Speaker A
So this work is 100% done. His hands are broken. But Abu Lahab did not stop. When this Surah was revealed, he told people, "My hands are broken." "Where are my hands broken?" "Yes, they are intact." We will see after the Battle of Badr, when we look at the life of the Prophet (peace be upon him),
Speaker A
we will know how badly he died and how the verses proved absolutely true. Now, the second important thing to note here is, why is it only about the hands? Why is it said that the hands are broken? Why is it not said that the head is broken, the leg is broken, or the heart failed? Why not?
Speaker A
I say for this, watch this scene. [Praise] [Music] Let's watch this scene again. In this scene, you will notice how a soldier, a fighter, holds a sword in one hand and a shield in the other to protect himself. So if a person's both hands are broken, what will happen?
Speaker A
He will neither be able to attack nor defend himself. Then, in the end, you will be destroyed, finished, and the next attack will be on you. Similarly, in Abu Lahab's life, we see his wealth, his sons, his connections, his relations, his power—all were destroyed.
Speaker A
None of them helped him. And later we see that when he died, he died a terrible death. Such a terrible death that no one wanted to touch him. No one wanted to bury him. For many days, his corpse rotted on the street. People were disturbed.
Speaker A
Even his own sons refused to touch him or keep him at home. "Hey, sons of Abu Lahab, dispose of your father's corpse. The smell is making people vomit." Now, moving to the second verse. Ma Ana Anhu Maluhu wa Kasab. Neither his wealth helped him nor his children.
Speaker A
Actually, this verse is a response to what Abu Lahab often said to people. If he was truthful, he would give his wealth to Allah and save himself from Hell. Now, note that the word Kasab means earnings, income. Sometimes people have a lot of money inherited from their ancestors.
Speaker A
But the word Kasab is used for the income you earn yourself. There is a Hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon him) in which he says that the best earning of a person is his children. And as we see, his children did not help him. Moving to the next verse.
Speaker A
Verse number three: Sasla Naraja Talab. Abu Lahab will be burned in the fire of Hell, which will be blazing with flames. Now we move to the fourth verse, which is Wat Ham. And this verse means that his wife will carry fuel on her head. Fuel means she will be carrying wood.
Speaker A
लकड़ियां ढो रही होगी जहन्नुम के अंदर। इसका काम यह होगा कि जलना तो है ही है और साथ में आपको जाना है। इसको जाना है और जाकर यह लकड़ियां लेकर आएगी और उस आग के अंदर लकड़ियां डालेगी। तो जब हम आग में
Speaker A
लकड़ियां डालते हैं तो क्या होता है? आग और तेज होती है। तो अपनी आग ये खुद ब खुद जलाएगी। लेकिन यहां मजे की बात यह है कि अल्लाह ताला यह भी कह सकते थे कि वो जहन्नुम में जलेगी। वो जहन्नुम का दादा दाब जिंदगी भर
Speaker A
झेलती रहेगी। यही क्यों कहा कि वो लकड़ियां लेकर आएगी। देखिए यहां समझने की बात यह है कि वो अपनी जिंदगी में क्या करती थी। आप फिक्र ना करें। अब जो मैं कहती हूं वो करते जाएं बस। तो वो इस दुनिया में अपने हस्बैंड की नफरत
Speaker A
को फ्यूल करती थी। उस आग को बढ़ाने में उसका साथ देती थी। इसी वजह से अल्लाह सुभाना ताला ने आखिरत में उसका अज़ाब ये रखा है कि जाओ जाके लकड़ियां उठा के लेके आओ ढो अपने सर पे और अपनी आंख को खुद
Speaker A
भड़काओ। अब यहां पे एक और जरूरी बात है। बहुत इंपॉर्टेंट बात है। जब भी आप नमाज में सूरत को रिसाइट करें तो ऐसा नहीं कि आप गए वात हम ना हम्मा एक पावरफुल लफज़ है। बहुत ही ज्यादा उसके अंदर असर है। वेट है तो आप
Speaker A
जब भी पढ़ेंगे आपको उस पे जोर देना है। वमरातहु हमत आयत नंबर पांच की तरफ बढ़ते हैं जो है फ़ जीदहाब मसद और इसके गले में मूज की रस्सी होगी यानी नारियल की छाल वाली रस्सी होगी यहां पर जीदीहा का जो लफज़ है इस लफज़ का
Speaker A
इस्तेमाल होता है खूबसूरत गर्दन के लिए ऐसी गर्दन जो जेवर से लदी हुई हो कमाल की बात यह है मजे की बात यह है कि रस्सी का जिक्र क्यों है और गर्दन का जिक्र क्यों है तो इसके पीछे की बात यह है कि उे जमील
Speaker A
एक खूबसूरत बस अपने गले में हार पहना करती थी। वो मक्का वालों से कहती थी, अपने नौकरों से कहती थी, आम लोगों से कहती थी। मेरे गले का यह हार मैं उसको दूंगी जो मोहम्मद के खिलाफ खड़ा होगा। मेरा साथ
Speaker A
देगा। और इसी वजह से यहां यह मेंशन किया गया है कि उसके गले में मूज की रस्सी होगी, बल वाली रस्सी होगी, तकलीफ देने वाली रस्सी होगी। उसकी उस गले में जिसमें वो हर वक्त हार पहने रहती थी।
Speaker A
ये थी सूर लहब की अंडरस्टैंडिंग। अब सबसे जरूरी बात यह कि समझना यह है कि आज हमारी जिंदगी में इसका क्या रेलेवेंस है। जो मैं समझा हूं उस किताब से बताता हूं कि सबसे पहली बात तो यह कि सूरत इसलिए नाजिल
Speaker A
की गई है कि वो जो अल्लाह के नबी का दुश्मन है वो अल्लाह का दुश्मन है। जिस स्पीड से वो अल्लाह के नबी की तरफ बढ़ रहा था जुल्म करने के लिए उससे कई गुना ज्यादा स्पीड से अल्लाह का अज़ाब अबू लहब की तरफ आ
Speaker A
रहा था और आ चुका था उसे खबर नहीं थी। अब आते हैं दूसरे रेलेवेंस की तरफ जो मैं समझा हूं जो आज हम अपनी जिंदगी में अप्लाई कर सकते हैं। देखिए मियां बीवी एक दूसरे का साया होते हैं। दोस्त दोस्त भाई भाई एक
Speaker A
दूसरे का साया होते हैं। [संगीत] अब कई बार क्या होता है कि हमारा दोस्त किसी की चुगली करता है। तुझे पता है ऐसा हो गया? अबे नहीं क्या बात कर रहा है? और और बता। अक्सर मियां बीवी में भी ऐसा होता
Speaker A
है। अपनी जिंदगी को छोड़ के दूसरों की जिंदगी में बड़ा झांकते हैं। अरे फलाने की लड़की भाग गई। तुम्हें पता चला तो अब यह जो वाइफ है या जो हस्बैंड है इसे क्या चाहिए? वो उसे गाइड करें। अरे यार ऐसा
Speaker A
नहीं करो। लेकिन हम लोग क्या करते हैं? खाली भागी है। अपनी मां का जेवर तक ले गई है। उस बात में और लुकमा लगा देते हैं। उसको और फ्यूल करते हैं। तो याद रखिए कि जब आप बुराई का साथ देते हो ना तो जो काम
Speaker A
बुरा करने वाले का है वही अंजाम उस बुराई को इनिशिएट करने वाले का है। बढ़ावा देने वाले का है। आईडिया देने वाले का है। उम्मीद करता हूं कि बात समझ आई होगी। वीडियो पसंद आई होगी। इसके अलावा आपसे एक
Speaker A
गुजारिश है, एक इल्तजा है, एक रिक्वेस्ट है कि अगर हो सके तो हमारी इस कम्युनिटी को जॉइ कीजिए। अक्सर लोग पूछते हैं भाई आपकी वीडियो देख के बड़ा अच्छा लगा। ऐसी वीडियो और बनाइए। अगली वीडियो कब आ रही
Speaker A
है? मैं अकेला बंदा हूं यार। नौकरी करता हूं। फिर थोड़ा सा वक्त चुरा के ये YouTube की वीडियोस बनाता हूं। अगर आप कम्युनिटी ज्वाइन करेंगे तो मैं अपनी टीम को बढ़ा सकता हूं और लोगों को शामिल कर सकता हूं। जिससे हम जल्द से जल्द और
Speaker A
ज्यादा और बेहतर वीडियोस प्रोड्यूस कर पाएंगे। शायद बहुत ज्यादा पूरे कुरान को मुकम्मल करें। अभी मेरा मकसद यह है कि मैं कुरान की आखिरी 10 सूरतें बनाऊं। उसके बाद फिर हम और टॉपिक्स को भी एक्सप्लोर करेंगे। कई लोगों के लिए मुश्किल होती है
Speaker A
तो इस क्यूआर कोड को आप स्कैन करके कम्युनिटी को ज्वाइन कर सकते हैं। इसकी कीमत शायद आपके एक वक्त की बिरयानी से भी कम है। शायद आपके एक बर्गर से भी कम है। शायद आपकी एक आइसक्रीम से भी कम है। जजाक
Speaker A
अल्लाह खैर। अस्सलाम वालेकुम।
