Surah az Zukhruf........ayat 33 to ayat 56

your excellency,

we move on to ayat 33 to ayat 56.

ustaz shamsuri starts his discourse with a hadith on 'laila haillallah', its connotation and ramification.

in a week of contentious issues troubling us , we leave dr timothy winter for a while and travel up north to the east coast town of kota bharu to listen to ustaz azhar. i love his clarity and exuberance . if you are partial to this, bear in mind that he is not addressing the average ttdi or damansara height crowd. mat rempits are his biggest fans

but that aside , he speak without fear or favour.

that is a hallmark of being an ulama , not the gallery type of muftis that inundated our land nowadays, unfortunately.

advising the wrong advice for those under their charges for the sake of some degree of 

'soft landing' and personal popularity and necessary career survival and longevity.....
in not so many words, 'playing to the gallery'.

muftis ,north, south east or west, should not play to the gallery.
you guys will land up at the bottom heap of an nar!

Surah az Zukhruf......... ayat 33 to ayat 56

And were it not that mankind would have become one community, We might well have appointed, for those who disbelieve in the Beneficent, roofs of silver for their houses and stairs (of silver) whereby to mount, (33) And for their houses doors (of silver) and couches of silver whereon to recline, (34) And ornaments of gold. Yet all that would have been but a provision of the life of the world. And the Hereafter with your Lord would have been for those who keep from evil. (35) And he whose sight is dim to the remembrance of the Beneficent, We assign unto him a devil who becometh his comrade; (36) And lo! they surely turn them from the way of Allah, and yet they deem that they are rightly guided; (37) Till, when he cometh unto Us, he saith (unto his comrade): Ah, would that between me and thee there were the distance of the two horizons - an evil comrade! (38) And it profiteth you not this day, because ye did wrong, that ye will be sharers in the doom. (39) Canst thou (Muhammad) make the deaf to hear, or canst thou guide the blind or him who is in error manifest? (40) And if We take thee away, We surely shall take vengeance on them, (41) Or (if) We show thee that wherewith We threaten them; for lo! We have complete command of them. (42) So hold thou fast to that which is inspired in thee. Lo! thou art on a right path. (43) And lo! it is in truth a Reminder for thee and for thy folk; and ye will be questioned. (44) And ask those of Our messengers whom We sent before thee: Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped beside the Beneficent? (45) And verily We sent Moses with Our revelations unto Pharaoh and his chiefs, and he said: I am a messenger of the Lord of the Worlds. (46) But when he brought them Our tokens, behold! they laughed at them. (47) And every token that We showed them was greater than its sister (token), and We grasped them with the torment, that haply they might turn again. (48) And they said: O wizard! Entreat thy Lord for us by the pact that He hath made with thee. Lo! we verily will walk aright. (49) But when We eased them of the torment, behold! they broke their word. (50) And Pharaoh caused a proclamation to be made among his people saying: O my people! Is not mine the sovereignty of Egypt and these rivers flowing under me? Can ye not then discern? (51) I am surely better than this fellow, who is despicable and can hardly make (his meaning) plain! (52) Why, then, have armlets of gold not been set upon him, or angels sent along with him? (53) Thus he persuaded his people to make light (of Moses), and they obeyed him. Lo! they were a wanton folk. (54) So, when they angered Us, We punished them and drowned them every one. (55) And We made them a thing past, and an example for those after (them). (56)

commentary by ustaz dato shamsuri hj ahmad, in 'bahasa'.

the ustaz starts with a short  hadith discourse relating to the shahadah, 'laila haillallah'.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwO1Qxr0uOE

a long , recent [ august 2017 ]ustaz azhar discourse in kota bharu  , but relevant in the face of current public facetiousness, uncalled for political correctness and lack of ilm within even the ulul amri ,who   are supposed to give good advice  to their charges etc and etc 

i know ustaz azhar is not popular with the elites . to enjoy him you have to put yourselves as the common people, without 'much false ego' .
 also imagine yourself as a kampong chap in kemaman or kuantan, not damansara height or ttdi'. 
certainly not g25 or sis.

ustaz azhar is very popular with young people as well as 'mat rempit'. pardon his over exuberance, and you will discover the gem in him.

a lot of  relevant fekah issues here discussed  in an hour long q& a  ....some minor some major.

listen..


..[   1.54.10  ]  is frightening.
