  1. Surah al Baqarah Ayahs 142 – 152

  2. Ayah 142 The foolish among the people will say, "What has turned them away from their qiblah, which they used to face?" Say, "To Allah belongs the east and the west. He guides whom He wills to a straight path."

  3. Context • In Makkah, the Prophet SAW faced the Kaabah and BaitulMaqdas (Masjid al Aqsa) in Jerusalem • But in Madinah when they faced Jerusalem, then their backs were towards the Kaabah. The Prophet SAW knew that he would be told to face the Kaabah eventually

  4. The Foolish Ones • Includes: • 1. The munafiqeen • 2. The yahud • 3. The mushrikeen

  5. Roots • Seen – (it has 3 functions) • 1. it specifies the meaning of the word as future or near future • 2. certainty of the event, that this is definitely going to happen • 3. its an advance warning • Sayaqoolu – the foolishness is being expressed through their words; these people are objecting because of their foolishness

  6. Roots • Qaafbaallaam – what you face is in front of you  the reason for their foolishness is lack of intellect not lack of knowledge; Allah SWT is telling the Prophet SAW to ignore the foolish people’s objections • SaawdRaawTaaw – an open and easy path to follow

  7. QIBLAH CHANGE

  8. Lessons • Allah owns everything, so its not all about just facing one direction or another (we have to face the Kaabah but don’t get caught up in the degrees or angles) • Allah knows what the people were going to say (Past, Present and Future) • Ignore foolish people and their comments

  9. Ayah 143 And thus we have made you a just community that you will be witnesses over the people and the Messenger will be a witness over you. And We did not make the qiblah which you used to face except that We might make evident who would follow the Messenger from who would turn back on his heels. And indeed, it is difficult except for those whom Allah has guided. And never would Allah have caused you to lose your faith. Indeed Allah is, to the people, Kind and Merciful.

  10. Context • Just as the Kaabah is a means of guidance, the Ummah is a means of guiding others • With the changing of the Qiblah, leadership was being given to the Muslims • But with Privilege comes Responsibility

  11. أُمَّةً وَسَط Moderate One Middle Link

  12. Moderate Nation – How? • 1. An ummah that is mid-most in its time of existence • 2. When it comes to the laws, the commands of this ummah are the most moderate (neither exceed the bounds in worldly matters nor abandon the deen) • 3. Best ummah compared to others; Bani Israel killed prophets while Nasaara worshipped the Prophets • 4. Sunnah passed on to the Ummah and now we have to pass it on and convey the message

  13. لِّتَكُونُواْ شُهَدَاء عَلَى النَّاسِ Muslim Ummah will witness that Previous messengers conveyed the message to their nations. You witness over the truth

  14. وَيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيدًا

  15. Why the Change in Qiblah? • Li’naa’lama – 1. so that we can show the people; so that they know; 2. so that we distinguish between sincere and insincere and 3. so that we can establish recompense • It was a test for the believers to see if they would follow the Prophet SAW

  16. Roots • Taa Baa Aain– follow in tangible and intangible ways; sayings and actions • Why is the Name of the Prophet SAW NOT Mentioned? • A) He was the final messenger • B) He is indeed a messenger; his title is only mentioned • C) Encourages us to follow him

  17. Roots • AainQaaf Baa –when you turn your heels; you completely turn away • The one who refuses to follow the messenger; this was a test to expose the sincerity of the people • The Muslim ummah were tested through change in Qiblah; before this, they were told to face Jerusalem in Madinah, which was difficult for some

  18. Roots • Kaaf Baa Raaw– difficult and troublesome • HaaDaalYaa– guidance; when you accept something, it becomes easy Commands of Allah are not hard for the Ones Guided! Guidance Check!!

  19. Roots • Daawdyaaaain– Allah will not waste your iman by not rewarding you for your previous prayers, even though they were in a different direction •  because that command was also from Allah SWT (Muslims prayed in that direction for 16-17 months and some died during this) • Imaan’nakum – prayers that the Muslims prayed while facing Jerusalem

  20. Roots • Raawhamzafaa– kindness/intense mercy; to be kind to someone and to remove some affliction

  21. LESSONS • The commands that Allah gives are difficult for some; when you are guided and have ilm, then they become easy • Following the right path becomes easy; the difference is in the imaan • We have to recognize our role as the Muslim Ummah

  22. Change of Qiblah? Test for the Believers Leadership Shift made Obvious Honor for the Believers

  23. Du’a O our Lord! Let not our hearts deviate (from the truth) after You have Guided us, and Grant us mercy from You. Truly, You are the One who bestow.

  24. REFLECTIONS?

  25. ANNOUNCEMENTS

  26. Ayah 144 We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Muhammad], toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces toward it [in prayer]. Indeed, those who have been given the Scripture well know that it is the truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do.

  27. Ayah 144 - Roots • HamzaRaawYaa– present; when Qad comes before it, it gives the meaning of repitition • The Prophet SAW would repeatedly look towards the sky: he longed to face the Kaabah; looked up in the hope for the command • Each time he looked up, Allah SWT saw him •  shows that the Prophet SAW didn’t make up anything in the deen; always waited for the command

  28. فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ Command to Follow Qiblah!

  29. Why is it important to Follow Qiblah? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OG5_GooANVs

  30. Points about Facing Qiblah • In a plane, you can face any direction the plane is in • For fardhsalah, you MUST face qiblah; its part of establishing salah • For naflsalah, its not mandatory (i.e. on a vehicle) • During salah, if you’re praying in the wrong direction, and someone corrects you, then you can turn during salah

  32. Ayah 145 And if you brought to those who were given the Scripture every sign, they would not follow your qiblah. Nor will you be a follower of their qiblah. Nor would they be followers of one another's qiblah. So if you were to follow their desires after what has come to you of knowledge, indeed, you would then be among the wrongdoers.

  33. Ayah 145 - Roots • HaaWaawYaa– their desires of you following their religion and leaving your own religion • You will be abandoning knowledge if you compromise the deen just to please people • Many times, knowledge means going against ones desires or sacrificing them

  34. Lesson

  35. Ayah 146 Those to whom We gave the Scripture know him as they know their own sons. But indeed, a party of them conceal the truth while they know [it].

  36. Ayah 146 - Roots • AainRaawFaa– to recognize something by its signs, knowledge and realization; knowing why and how something should be done • The people of the Book recognized the Prophet SAW really well and were aware of the signs of the last messenger • Ibn – includes daughters too • Leaders would deliberately hide the truth

  37. Ayah 147 The truth is from your Lord, so never be among the doubters.

  38. Ayah 147 - Roots • MeemRaawYaa– one who has doubt; doubt about a fact; is this really from Allah? • Vs. Raaib (doubt that makes you restless) • Mumtareen– don’t doubt about the facts of Allah; when the commands come, don’t be of those who doubt and put other people in to doubt as well
