Qur'an 30 for 30

 And she was telling me about that now.  It's probably because my router is far away from me.  JazakAllah.  As-salamu alaykum everyone.  Abdullahi wa s-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.  Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim.  Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen.  Wa la'udhu wa la'na ila anzalameen.  Wa la'aqeebatu fi'l-muttaqeem.  Allahumma salli wa sallim wa barak ala abdika wa rasulika  Muhammadin salallahu alayhi wa sallam  wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallim tasliman kathira.  So now we're in Juz 11.  Congratulations to all of you on finishing the first third of Ramadan.  May Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la accept it from you and allow you to move strong  into the second part of Ramadan and then the third part inshaAllah Ta'ala.  Every day of Ramadan is a day of rahmat, of mercy and forgiveness  and bismillah ta'ala being freed from the punishment.  Tonight inshaAllah ta'ala we start with the last part of Surat At-Tawbah  and stretch all the way through Surah Yunus into the first few verses of Surah Hud.  So Juz 11 starts from verse 93 of Surat At-Tawbah  and it goes all the way through Yunus into verse 5 of Surah Hud.  SubhanAllah I'll give a beautiful story just so my New Orleans folks,  I know that some of you might be watching,  some of you might remember I posted about Abu Abd al-Jabbar Khan,  may Allah have mercy on him, a brother who loved the masjid  and who passed away due to COVID-19 just before Ramadan.  And I used to always recite the first page and a half of Surah Yunus.  It's one of my favorite portions of the Quran.  By far the first page and a half of Surah Yunus up till  Wa akhiru da'wahum al-alhamdulillahi rabbil alameen  I would always recite that.  And so he used to make fun of me.  He said you always recite that and then he said I'm going to memorize it  just by you reciting that so much.  And so subhanAllah I thought about him as I was preparing for tonight  and Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala have mercy on him and grants him shahadah,  Allahumma ameen.  So we get into now Surah Yunus.  So Surah Tawbah, as we said, Surah Tawbah is at the end of Medina, right?  It was revealed after Tabuk.  So we're talking about nine years after Hijrah.  Now you come all the way back with Surah Yunus and Surah Yunus is the lowest point.  It's two years before Hijrah.  Okay, so subhanAllah it's a switch from the highest point of Islam to the lowest point  and this is something that Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala does with us in the Quran  constantly switching us from Badr and then to Uhud and then back to Badr, right?  To remind you not to get too excited,  that you don't become stuck in one phase of it.  So the story is told in a way that we constantly learn lessons  and it's not a storybook the way that you would read a storybook,  but rather it keeps taking you between these different flashpoints of Islam  so that you learn the lessons that are necessary.  Now what you have here is the first chapter of the Quran that's named after a prophet  and it's significant that it's Yunus Alayhi Salaam, okay?  And in fact now you have after the long Surahs, Surah Yunus and Surah Hud.  So the first two chapters that come after Surah Tawbah  are the first two chapters in the Quran that are named after the prophets of Allah.  Why Yunus Alayhi Salaam and then Hud Alayhi Salaam?  Yunus, who is Jonah, Yunus Alayhi Salaam, the prophet Jonah,  is not just the first Surah here to have,  or is not just the first prophet to have a Surah named after him,  but he's also actually the first prophet that was mentioned to the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam in Revelation, okay?  Where?  Fasbir li hukmi rabbika wala takun ka sahibi alhuti idh nada wa huwa maklum. Okay? When Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la revealed to the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam in Surah Al-Qalam,  be patient with the decree of your Lord and do not be like the companion of the whale when he called out to Allah after he was swallowed.  So the first prophet that the Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam had revelation come to him about in the capacity of the Quran was Yunus Alayhi Salaam.  And now as you're reading the Quran in its beautiful structure,  the first Surah named after a prophet is named after Yunus Alayhi Salaam.  And there's a profound lesson in that. Why?  Because Yunus is, of course, a prophet who at one point gave up and turned away from his people and ended up in, you know,  not just at a low point, but physically at the bottom of the ocean,  in the belly of a whale, under the darkness of the night, calling out to Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la,  and not only did Allah save him, but Allah elevated him.  So he was better off after that tawbah, after that repentance,  than before when he turned away from his people thinking there was no hope in them.  So it's very instructive that that's the first prophet that was revealed to the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam,  and that as you're reading the Quran, the first Surah named after a prophet is him.
