The Man Who Killed 99 People - Yusha Evans - Quran Weekly

assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatu quran weekly this yuusha evans have you ever thought to yourself that you have done so much evil and that you've been sinning for so long that maybe Allah cannot forgive you you know and I've heard this before someone that wants to be a better Muslim but they've spent 10 15 20 years you know just completely disobeying Allah you know how is it now that you know I've been Muslim I know how lawyers I've done so much sinning how could Allah possibly forgive me with the blatant arrogance that I've had in the blatant disrespect for Allah Allah and Haram etc you know this is a question that comes up even to the best of us even to the best of us think and ponder that question even the prophets of the lauralee was seldom said he himself was not sure of Jenna unless Allah had mercy upon him and he told none of us to be sure I'm Jenna but when it comes to Allah is mercy when it comes to his Orana when it comes to his ability to forgive human beings it is something that is incomprehensible by the human mind we cannot even wrap our heads around and quantify Allah is mercy to his creation it is an impossibility in Allah as Rogell refers to himself as our man r-rahim allah for and what dude so many times in the Quran I mean it's just repetitive how Allah reminds us of his mercy and the prophet salallahu alaihe salam also reminded us to never be despondent of the mercy of allah never despair of the mercy of allah that the mercy of allah is is incomprehensible and there are only a very small number of things that you can do that you cannot be forgiven for the number one of them is shirk if you know any worship something other than Allah then that is one thing that we know is an established fact that you're not forgiven from these things but just for the fact that maybe you've been disobeying Allah maybe you've been going down the wrong road maybe you've been doing this that in the third for however long it is Allah Azza WA JAL always has the door to tau bar open we need to understand this fact that tawba our repentance to Allah is one of the things that makes a lot loves us so much it is are returning to Allah that actually shows our need for him the fact that we send and turn to Allah is the real way one of the most beautiful ways that we show Allah our need of him that we turn to Him and realize yeah Allah you were the only one that can forgive me such as Adam and Eve Allah he said and although we have wronged our own selves if you do not forgive us and have mercy upon us indeed will be of the losers the same thing Yunus said when he was in the belly of the fish on my lord I have wronged myself if you do not forgive me that mercy upon me I would indeed be one of the losers same thing that Musa alayhi Salam was repeated just the the showing - a lot that if you don't forgive me if you don't have mercy upon me than indeed I am lost there's no one that can help me except but you and we know the prophet sallallaahu seldom said that if the creation didn't sin if the creation committed no sin that Allah would just get rid of that creation he would do away with the creation and he would create people who would sin and then turn to him it's not that Allah loves the sin and that he wants us to disobey him but he knows inevitably we're going to make mistakes and but when we returned to him it is the real it is a real act of ibadah it is one of the purest accidentally bad at return to Allah when you feel that remorse inside of yourself and you cry to Allah and to ask a lot to forgive you and we have to remember the story of the man from bani israel and this is narrating Bukhari and Muslim the man of Bani Israel who killed 99 people he killed 99 people and then you know he decided that he wanted to change his life you know maybe he had a tiff aney of some sorts he wanted to change his life so he went to the I did the person who just worshipped their worship in a worship he didn't have a lot of knowledge he just worshipped Allah a lot and he went to the ayah bit and he told that I but I've killed 99 people they think a lot can forgive me and you know the I bet had become such a good hood that he had become such a pious righteous self-righteous person that you know he thought himself now a lot can forgive you you know he didn't have the enemy to act upon so he said no Allah can't forgive you so what did the man do well if Allah can't forgive me for the 99 then I'll just make you 100 so he killed him he killed the man and you know he still wanted to still inside of himself wanted to find some way to you know there has to be some answer for me so he would ask the people who do I go to who do I go to you know to get this answered and they said go to this scholar so they sent him to the scholar now first they send into the avid just the worshiper now they sent him to the the scholar the person who has knowledge so he went to the scholar and told him you know what I have done I've killed 99 actually I killed a hundred people now can Allah forgive me and the scholars response was you know there's nothing between you and Allah is mercy that you've done there's nothing that you've done that is preventing you from a laws mercy he said of course Allah can forgive you but he said but I recommend for you to leave this town you should this is the difference with the scholar the scholar is not only able to tell us right from wrong but he's able to give us viable solutions this is you know the benefit of of the scholars and going to them the scholar told him you need to leave this place if you are serious if you're serious about wanting a lot to forgive you and wanting to be better you got to leave here because here you know they're only going to be people who were going to remind you of your evil you know I mean you're only gonna be around the same thing so he said leave this place he told him to go to a town there are people there they're good they will help you they will help you to become a better person so go to this town so the man left to go to the town but allah subhanahu wa ta'ala saw fit and willed for him to die on his way to this town and he died on the way there and when he died on the way there the angel of mercy came and the angel of punishment came you know the angel of mercy who takes out the souls of the believers and gently and so on and so forth and then the angel of there bore the punishment the one who takes the souls of evil and disobedient and disbelievers came and they started arguing who should take the soul the angel of mercy said I should take it because he was on his way to Talbot from Allah he was seeking to be forgiven by Allah the angel of that was saying no he didn't reach his place you know he was still a person had committed so much evil he didn't reach his destination so finally you know the dispute was put in front of a lot of agenda what do we do so allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala told them to measure measure the distance from the town that he was leaving to where he is now and then measured the distance from where he is now to the town the way is going and whichever of them you find to be shorter that is the angel that will take him whatever he's closer to and it is said in Bukhari and Muslim that when they measured they found him closer to the place where he was heading so the angel of mercy took his place one of the the the companions and this is in the collection of Imam Muslim says that he heard from Al Hassan that actually when the man was in the the throes of death he would crawled upon his chest until he finally reached the place to where he would be closer but even kathira you know the the great Mufasa of the Quran and the great scholar Amica theer mentions NSL badeah one Dahiya that and this is something that we don't find a Bukhari and Muslim we have to you know be specific about that that Allah Azza WA JAL when he was telling the angels to measure the distance you know that actually in reality the man was closer to the town that he came from but Allah commanded the earth in the town where he came from to move away and he commanded the earth in the town to where the man was heading to move closer so Allah physically changed the dimensions of the earth to make it that the man would be closer now you know if this is true we can see from this the amount of rahman that allah is trying to show the amount of mercy that allows trying to show because allah could have just caused him to die closer to the town very simple very simplified but if Allah wanted to change the dimensions of the earth just to give him forgiveness it shows just the amount of of mercy that Allah is willing to extend to someone who is searching for his forgiveness the the links that Allah will go to to bring his forgiveness towards his creation when they are willing to come to him is shown through this ending and we know very clearly from the hadith of a pudzian in a number of hadith that mean to say the prophet sallallaahu seldom said don't be despondent even if your sins were enough to fill the entire skies or they were to fill the foam of the sea or they were to fill the entire earth and everything that is in it if you meet your Creator having worship nothing but him alone seeking his forgiveness then Allah would bring an equal like forgiveness to you and there is another very beautiful hadith this is referenced in their media as well as in Bukhari and you will find this in the beautiful books written by Omar Arash Carter you know the the the Athena series number of books and this one isn't know the collection I think it is volume number 7 about Jenna what Jahannam that on the day of judgment when people are being thrown to the Hellfire there will be two people it's very beautiful one of them were being put me being pushed towards the Hellfire and then the Hellfire would withdraw it'll move back it'll step back from the person it'll withdraw itself from the individual and Allah will ask Jahannam what is wrong with you and Jahannam will say to Allah Ya Allah he is seeking refuge with you from me he is seeking refuge in you from me and so Allah will tell Jahannam released my slave let him go let him go when he will be forgiven and then there will be another person who were being pushed towards the Hellfire maybe his you know his evil deeds outweigh his good deeds and he'll being pushed towards the Hellfire and he will tell Allah Ya Allah I never expected this from you Ya Allah I would not expect this from you and Allah will say to that man well what did you expect from me and he will say that I expected that even your mercy would reach me and Allah will tell you hadn't released my slave you know so this is the amount of Mercy that Allah is willing to extend to his creation when wouldn't some pure effort is made towards Allah striving for his forgiveness when it is done with purity Allah is more forgiving than you can even begin to comprehend and understand so we can never be despondent of the mercy of Allah even taenia share all Islam iemon tamiya rahim allah allah said that being despair having despair of the mercy of allah is one of the major sins that can take you to Jahannam in and of itself so never be despondent of the mercy of allah the mercy of allah is open to all of you anyone I don't care how much you've done I don't care what amount of sins and evils you have committed trust me there are people were than you and everyone who maybe worse than you there's someone worse than them but Allah Azza WA JAL is indeed after over him he is the most compassionately merciful and the most especially merciful to those who turn in repentance to him and we need to understand this in Shama so hopefully all of you now it doesn't matter what you've done in your life take this time out to go and stand in front of your Lord stand in front of your Lord with some sincerity and be admitting of all the evils you have done have some remorse for what you have done and then ask a lot to forgive it and shielded and inshallah you will find Allah as merciful as he describes himself and he will cover you with his forgiveness and it would be something that will be forgotten between you and your rub insha Allah Jews are called hiden this has been you should Evans for Quran weekly saying Salam
