Q & A
What is the main theme of the speaker's message in the script?
-The main theme is the relationship between believers and the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and how believers are responsible for carrying on the Prophet's mission, reflecting his light, just as the moon reflects the light of the sun.
What is unique about the story of the messengers mentioned in Surah Yasin?
-In Surah Yasin, Allah sent two messengers to a nation that rejected them, and then He reinforced them with a third messenger. This is unique because it's rare for three messengers to be sent to the same people at the same time.
Why does the speaker compare the believers to the moon?
-The speaker compares believers to the moon because, like the moon reflecting the sun's light, believers reflect the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). The moon goes through phases of brightness, symbolizing the fluctuating faith of believers.
How does the speaker relate the story of the messengers to the role of the believers?
-The speaker explains that just as the messengers have their own responsibilities, so do the believers. Even if the messengers are doing their job, believers must also fulfill their role of spreading the message and supporting the mission.
What lesson is learned from the analogy of the sun and the moon in the Quran?
-The lesson is that just as the sun and moon have their designated roles in the universe, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and the believers have their distinct responsibilities. The sun (the Prophet) provides the original light, while the moon (the believers) reflects that light in the Prophet’s absence.
Why does the speaker mention the phases of the moon in relation to the believers?
-The phases of the moon represent the varying levels of faith among believers. Just as the moon goes through phases, believers may experience strong or weak faith at different times. However, they still carry the responsibility of reflecting the Prophet’s light.
What role does the believer from the neighboring city play in the story mentioned in Surah Yasin?
-The believer from the neighboring city hears about the three messengers and decides to support them, showing that even when messengers are present, believers must still take initiative to help spread the message.
How does the speaker describe the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) using the metaphor of a lamp?
-The speaker describes the Prophet as a lamp that illuminates other things, symbolizing that the Prophet is a source of guidance and light for others, just as the sun provides light for the moon.
What is the significance of the believer’s role after the Prophet's (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) passing?
-The significance is that after the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) is no longer present, the believers must carry on his mission by reflecting his teachings, just as the moon reflects the sun after sunset. The believers are a source of light in dark times.
What does the speaker suggest about the fluctuating nature of faith?
-The speaker acknowledges that faith, like the phases of the moon, fluctuates. Sometimes it is strong and full, while other times it is weak. However, even in weak moments, believers are still reflecting the light of Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam).
Outlines
🌟 Introduction to a Powerful Lesson from the Quran
The speaker introduces a profound lesson from the Quran, which deeply moved him. He sets the stage by discussing a unique story in Surah 36, where Allah sent three messengers to a nation, but they were all rejected. Despite this, a fourth person, not a messenger, came from a neighboring city to support the messengers. This story emphasizes the role of believers in continuing the work of the messengers, showing that even when messengers face rejection, the believers still have a responsibility to act.
🌙 The Roles of the Sun, Moon, and Believers
The speaker draws an analogy between the sun, moon, and believers, explaining that just as the sun and moon have distinct roles, so do the messengers and believers. The sun, representing the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), provides constant light, while the moon, symbolizing the believers, reflects this light. This teaches that believers must carry on the mission of the Prophet by reflecting his teachings, especially in times of darkness. The phases of the moon are likened to the fluctuating faith of believers, who must strive to shine even when their faith is weak.
🌅 The Responsibility of Believers in Dark Times
The speaker emphasizes the responsibility of believers as representatives of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He compares the current state of the world to a time of darkness after the sun (the Prophet) has set, leaving the moon (the believers) to provide light. Despite the challenges and fluctuations in faith, believers must continually rise and reflect the teachings of the Prophet, ensuring that his light reaches others. The speaker highlights that every believer, in their actions, embodies the Prophet's teachings and has the duty to reflect his light to guide others.
🌍 Reflecting on the Sun and Moon as Signs from Allah
In the conclusion, the speaker urges the audience to see the sun and moon as constant reminders of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and their connection to him. He explains that these natural signs are lessons from Allah, encouraging believers to constantly remember and embody the teachings of the Prophet in their daily lives. The speaker prays for all believers to carry and reflect the light of the Prophet, helping others find their way to the truth, just as the moon reflects the sun's light in the night sky.

Highlights
The speaker introduces the lesson as one of the most powerful he has studied in the Quran, emphasizing its impact on him personally.
The lesson is derived from Surah 36 of the Quran, which tells a unique story of multiple prophets sent to a single nation.
Unlike typical stories in the Quran, where one prophet is sent to one nation, in this case, Allah sends two prophets, and then a third is added when the nation rejects the message.
A fourth person, a believer from another city, decides to help the three messengers, showing that believers have their own responsibility in addition to the messengers.
The story illustrates that both messengers and followers have their roles and duties; these roles are distinct but complementary.
The lesson transitions to a comparison with celestial bodies: the Sun represents the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), while the Moon symbolizes the believers.
The Sun (Prophet Muhammad) brings light and dispels darkness when present, while the Moon (believers) reflects the Sun’s light after it sets.
The Moon goes through phases, just as a believer's faith can fluctuate; however, it always reflects the light of the Sun, indicating that believers still carry the message even in difficult times.
Allah chose this ummah (community) to carry on the mission of the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), even after his physical departure from the world.
The believers are compared to the Moon, which serves as a source of light in the darkness, guiding others with the light of the Prophet’s teachings.
The lesson stresses that Allah created signs, like the Sun and Moon, each with their specific roles, analogous to the roles of messengers and followers.
Believers should never look at the Sun and Moon the same way again, seeing them as constant reminders of their connection to the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam).
The Moon’s phases represent the varying states of a believer’s faith, but even at its weakest, the Moon still reflects the Sun’s light, signifying hope and renewal.
Allah chose the believers to be the source of light in the darkness, a representation of hope and guidance to others.
The reminder that the Quran and its teachings help believers remain connected to the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) through continuous reflection on the signs of Allah in nature.
Transcripts
today I'm going to share something with
you about our beloved messenger
sallallah alaihi wasallam and our
relationship with him but when I start
discussing this with you it will feel
like that is not my topic At All by the
end I hope to see that it is in fact
what I want to share with you for myself
personally this is one of the most
powerful lessons I ever studied in the
Quran and I'm very moved by this lesson
I pray that I'm able to communicate some
of the Beauty and the power of what I
was honored to study and to learn from
this Surah this lesson belongs toah y
the 36th Surah of the Quran Allah
describes in the Surah a unique story of
prophets typically you find that Allah
sends one to one town but in this case
Allah
says Allah sent two Messengers to them
and the nation rejected both of those
Messengers then Allah reinforced Allah
says we reinforce them with a third one
so now this nation is unique to any
other Nation because three Messengers
are giving them the message at the same
time and then their response to all
three of those Messengers is and and by
the way before I go on you have to
appreciate har M had to challenge one of
the greatest villains mentioned in the
Quran and he asked for the help of who
Haron so that's two of them that's two
of them and when you study the Quran you
find even when they were two of them mam
did all of the talking Haram was silent
actually it was all of the job was being
done still
by was support he was
there reinforce my back with him make
him a partner in my mission but his his
job became more support than anything
else in the case of these Messengers all
three of them were giving da all of them
are delivering the message and all of
them are G given the same
rejection
if we we think all of you are cursed the
people said all of you are a curse on
our nation and if you don't stop this
preaching of yours we are going to Stone
you to
death or or we'll find some other
painful way of torturing you you better
stop and so these me three of them were
rejected and as that's happening Allah
adds a fourth person in the story three
wasn't enough now a fourth person but
this fourth person is not a messenger
there's not a
messenger from the other end of the city
meaning there in this town in a
neighboring City somebody heard a
Believer heard that there are three
Messengers here delivering a message and
nobody's listening to them I should go
help them so as a Believer he comes from
the other city and he comes and he
starts talking to the people what's
incredible
[Music]
the umah who believes in them have their
own
responsibility The Messengers will do
their job the believer will do his job
or her job and they cannot replace each
other's job they cannot say well the
messenger is already there so I don't
have to do it no you still have to do it
and he speaks and he speaks in the Quran
his speech is recorded longer than all
of those Messengers now the lesson being
taught here now we come to our messenger
sallallahu alaihi wasallam the lesson
being taught here is that the Believer
cannot say well the messenger came he
already did what had to be done my
responsibility is over you see what does
Allah do inah y after that right after
the story Allah describes something and
this is where I need your attention
Allah describes something that seems
like it's not related at all he says
about the he starts talking about the
Sun and the Moon he starts talking about
the Sun and the Moon and he says about
the
moon we make the moon go through
different phases we especially pay
attention to the phases of the moon in
the month of Ramadan so he says the moon
goes through phases and he he talks
about the Sun and then he adds one
statement he
[Music]
says the sun it's not it's not
appropriate for the sun to get ahead of
the
moon and the night cannot come before
the
day
every one of them has their place they
are moving in their own place everything
has its own job the story right before
was Messengers have their own job and
followers have their own job and now
Allah says just like that what has their
own job the sun has its own job and the
moon has its own job so now as we come
to Al wasallam why is this so
powerful our
messenger
in Allah was describing him he was
talking to him and telling him what role
he has to
play Allah says about the messenger that
he plays multiple roles but at the end
of those roles Allah describes our
messenger with a unique word he calls
him a lamp a lamp that gives light and
illuminates other things a lamp that sh
shines light on other things and
illuminates them now here's the thing
about that the word in the Quran is used
for the sun it's used for the
sun our
messenger is being compared to what the
sun says the sun has its own job and the
moon has its own job now when our
messenger is being compared to the Sun
what does that mean when the messenger
came sallallah alaihi wasallam and you
were in his presence there is no
possibility that you will not be exposed
to light there is no possibility there's
no possibility that Darkness will not go
away because the sun has arrived but
Allah's decree is that the sun will not
stay in the sky forever the Sun goes
away and when the Sun goes away whose
turn is it it's the Moon's turn our
messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam is
no longer with us but who's still here
we're still here and by the way the sun
the sun is in the commanding position
and the Moon is a follower now we even
know that scientifically the Moon is
simply a follower pulled all of all of
these planets and their their moons are
forced into the gravitational field of
the sun and the only reason the moon has
any light is because it reflects the
light of the Sun so we are living in
dark
times we are like the Believers who are
living in dark times and we are being
compared to the moon and the only light
we have
the only light we have is the light
shining on us through the darkness that
actually originates from where from the
Sun
from.am the IM of every believer every
believer is actually a reflection of the
original teachings of s wasallam like
The Sun Shines on the moon and now think
about this think about this Allah gave
us the sun and the sun does not go
through phases
the sun is perfect every time but the
moon sometimes it's a full moon and
sometimes it's a very weak Moon just
like the believer we don't stay the same
Allah described the heart of our
messenger
sallallah so we can make your heart firm
and permanent meaning the light of IM
the light of the faith of Allah in the
messenger's heart sallallah alaihi
wasallam is permanent it's like the sun
constant L burning light when you see
the sun it's still there when you don't
see it it's still there it's still
shining its light on the moon but the
moon goes through phases like a Believer
goes through phases and sometimes the
believer's Iman is so weak you can
barely find it in the
sky but even when your faith is so so
weak no one thing you are still
representing the light
ofam that is the that is the when you
look at the sky the next time time when
you look at the sky when you look at the
Moon you're actually looking at yourself
you're looking at yourself you're
reminding yourself that Allah chose this
um to be around in the darkest of times
so they can reflect the light
ofam what what kind of responsibility
does that put on you and me you know
what that does it helps you understand
what said he said famously he
said I am the Messenger of the messenger
of Allah
s and he taught us something about being
a member of this umah every one of us
every one of us is a
representative of our
messenger every one of us when we are
obeying him and when we are disobeying
him when we are acting the way we should
and when we're acting not the way we
should when we speak ill of others and
when we speak kind L of others when we
control our eyes and when we don't
control our eyes that whether we like it
or not we are we are supposed to be
reflecting the light of s alai
wasam we we we carry that responsibility
and sometimes we don't do such a good
job it's not like the full moon
sometimes it's very weak but you know
what just because it's weak never does
it mean it disappeared because the way
Allah decreed the moon to be when it's
at its weakest then it's time for it to
what
Rise Again rise again our messenger
would say about the believer that their
IM IM will go it will go up and down
time and time you won't feel the same
reverence and strength of Faith all the
time but your connection to your
messenger will strengthen your faith
over and over and over again y That's
our relationship with our messenger
sallallah alaihi wasallam that's what he
represents to us you know the last thing
I share with you here is what it why did
Allah you know this this wisdom what
else does it mean for you and me it
actually means that Allah chose us chose
us to carry on the mission of s alai
wasallam and Allah knew that
when wasallam is no longer in this world
with us the way he was with the sahabah
when he's no longer there it's going to
be like the sun disappeared and night
came like night came and when Night
Comes there's hopelessness there's
Darkness
there's fear there's anxiety there's
ignorance what do I mean by ignorance at
in the daytime you can find your way in
night time you can get easily lost in
the daytime the same street is safe at
night time the same street is dangerous
in the daytime there's life at night
time there's death there's Stillness
Allah chose this um to be the only
source of light in the darkness when
everybody else is surrounded by Darkness
he chose us to be the moon he chose us
to for for people to find light and find
some hope and when they see us they see
some Glimpse some Glimpse
ofam that is what you and I are supposed
to be that is what Allah has given us
you know inshallah in the next time I
speak about wasallam we'll talk about
one of the most powerful ayat of the
Quran where Allah himself sends Salat
upon the
messenger and it's actually related to
this lesson so we we'll discuss that at
another time but for now I want you to
reflect and really do think that Allah
what whatever signs Allah has given us
the Sun the moon the wind the trees
every one of those signs behind them is
a lesson behind them is a lesson and so
we never the believer will never look at
the sun the same way again the believer
will never look at the Moon the same way
again now you don't have to listen to a
about the messenger of Allah sallallah
alaihi wasallam to be reminded to say
sallallah alaihi wasallam you just have
to look out and the sun is coming up and
you say Sall alai wasallam that next
that just the sun is now a reminder of s
alaihi wasall that is the beauty of this
Quran it never once you once you embody
its view you can never Escape reminder
you can never Escape reminder and we can
never Escape our connection to our
beloved s alaihi wasallam may Allah make
us all those who carry the light of of
our messenger and actually reflect that
light outward so others can find their
way towards that
sun
