When The Kabeer Says “ Your Bounty is Kabeer” Tafseer Surah Al-Insan | EP07 | Ustadh Mohamad Baajour

Bismillah, alhamdulillah, wassalatu wassalam ala rasoolillah. Two weeks ago, last week, we were busy with the announcement. We finished with:

SubhanAllah, we said, what a miracle. How can you have silver and glass at the same time? Silver, see-through silver, transparent silver. This is unheard of. This is why it is Jannah. These are only available in Jannah. May Allah make us drink from them. Ameen.

Then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he said, we explained what does قَدَّرُوهَا تَقْدِيرًا mean. And then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said:

And they will be given a drink of pure-flavored ginger.

The Service of Jannah

وَيُسْقَوْنَ They will be given the drink. They don't have to, like we said last week, or two weeks before, just a reminder. You don't have to get up. You don't have to do anything. You just think about what you like. You have to just imagine what you want. And it's there. It's done.

وَيُسْقَوْنَ I feel like having some soft, smooth drink. Boom. It's right there. وَيُسْقَوْنَ فِيهَا They are being... Someone is giving them the drink. We all know that there are وِلْدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ. There are boys or creation called وِلْدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ. These people, their job is only strictly to serve the people of Jannah.

So they go around, continuously serving. You don't feel like, you know what, come on, your service took so long. No, no, no. Immediately, the minute you think about it, the branch descends to the level that you could take it. The food is as delicious. The second bite is more delicious than the first bite. All of that is complete bliss, complete comfort, complete rest.

The Meaning of the Cup

كَأْسًا كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنجَبِيلًا Here, فِيهَا either goes back to the Jannah, they will be given the water in the Jannah, or it goes back to the cups. Because we were talking about the cups before.

And we said before, in the beginning of Tafsir, we said the word كَأْس. What did we say? Anybody remember? It has to be wine. كَأْس. When you say كَأْس, that means whatever is in it is wine. Different than كُوب. كُوب could have juice, water. But كَأْس is always for wine.

Mixed with Ginger

كَأْسًا it's mixed. So this كَأْس, it has wine. مِزَاج from يُمزَج, مَزَجَ is to mix. So the wine is mixed with ginger, زَنجَبِيل.

And we all know, subhanAllah, one of the things that has a cure for everything is ginger. Anytime you have cold, ginger. You're not having children, ginger. Just like when we were growing up, there was a medicine in Lebanon called Penadol. You go to the doctor in the school, you broke your foot, you broke your leg, you're going crazy, you're throwing up, all Penadol. Take Penadol.

So mixed with ginger. And last time it was mixed with Kafur. Right? مِزَاجُهَا كَانَ كَافُورًا This time it's mixed with ginger.

And this is the, look at the word used here. كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُورًا, كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنجَبِيلًا. كَانَ here, it does not mean that it was in the past and it stopped. No. In general, in general, don't think about now. Think about that time.

When you offer something with ginger, like for example, you have a few guests. And you say, Ahmed is my habibi. I want to give him the ginger. And this is for the VIP of your guests. For the VIP of your guests, you give the ginger. Not to everybody. Because it's very expensive, very hard to get. Don't think I can go to Kroger. There was no Kroger at that time. So it was very hard to get. So when you give ginger, oh, sheikh, when we went to his house, he gave us ginger. You know, gourmet. Something really classy, luxurious.

So here, it's always mixed with ginger. Always, always. This spring, always. That has kafur, like as if you're walking. This spring is kafur. This spring is ginger. This spring is chocolate. This spring is pineapple. So, always. It's always mixed with ginger. Not, keep in mind, he's talking to the people that ginger was very, very luxurious. So, you know, maybe it will be ginger for a week. No, no, no, no. It's always mixed with ginger.

The Spring Called Salsabila

This ginger is coming from a spring. Now, listen carefully. That is called salsabila. In Arabic, when you say something is, the drink is refreshing, easy to digest, smooth. All the best things you could say about a drink, you say it is salis. And if it is extremely, extremely salis, salsabila.

When you say something is salsabila, this is the best drink ever. Now, look. The name of the spring is after the taste. The spring is named after its taste. You know, it's not like, this spring is called Plano, and then, oh, it is delicious. No, no, no. The spring is called delicious. Now, where are you going? Where are we going to delicious spring? The spring itself is called salsabila. The name of that spring is called salsabila.

The Eternal Youth

And there will be waited by eternal youth. وِلْدَان is plural of وَلَد. وَلَد is young boy. وِلْدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ. I will explain what does مُّخَلَّدُونَ mean.

If you saw them, you would think, if you look at them, you would think they are scattered pearls. Scattered pearls. The boy is like a scattered pearl. The amount of, you know, when you have a masbaha, and it breaks, how they spread all over. Imagine millions of them are there just to serve you.

And they are مُّخَلَّدُونَ. What does مُّخَلَّدُونَ mean? Either they are there forever, or they themselves do not age. This creation called وِلْدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ, they do not age. And also, they do not die. Those وِلْدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ are there at a certain age, certain beauty, certain energy, that will stay the same as long, not as long, you are in Jannah. They are مُّخَلَّدُونَ themselves. And their age is mukhalad. And their service is mukhalad. Everything about them is mukhalad. Forever. Eternal.

And when you look at them, subhanAllah, I want you to imagine, if the one that is serving you, when you look at him, you are seeing pearls. The one who is serving you looks like a pearl. Can you imagine what he is serving you? How does it look like? How does it taste like? If he, and you look at them, you don't want to take your eyes. إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ حَسِبْتَهُمْ. And when you look at them, so beautiful.

If you are attracted to the beauty of the وِلْدَان, can you imagine the things that they have with them? Like we said before, not only the product that they are bringing, the goods that they are bringing is good, but even the eyes that are seeing them are enjoying that view, that sight.

When you see, this is something in the Arab world, that era, that scattered pearls is something of, they used to say, or when someone is very, very, very rich, those kings, if they want to do something immaculate out of this world, outstanding to the bride, they put a sheet of gold on the floor, and they put scattered pearls on it. This is the ultimate luxury. So this is coming from something that they know about. What? Scattered pearls?

And keep in mind, because sometimes our mind starts thinking about fake pearls. Keep in mind that, no, these people were not, the pearls are from the sea. And to get the pearl, I don't think there was scuba diving at that time. To get a pearl, you have to go through so much. Now you're talking about scattered pearls? It has to be kings only who can afford something like this.

So, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is telling us, you know, in this dunya, only kings can have something like this. Over there, every single one of you will have it. Scattered pearls. It shows the abundance of the pearls. It's not like they would look like a pearl. No, no, no. Many, many, many pearls.

A Huge Bounty

And then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, He said:

That's another reading. There are two readings. Or, if you look over there, you would see a huge bounty. مُلْكًا كَبِيرًا. Or, if you look, and then you look again, you will see a huge bounty. A huge mulk.

Now, it says, if you look, listen to me carefully. Let me ask you before I tell you. What comes to your mind? If I tell you, if you look, you will see beauty and luxury. Anybody? No direction is mentioned. Everywhere you look. No direction. If you look to your left, you will see something beautiful. To the right, not that great. No, no, no. وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ نَعِيمًا وَمُلْكًا كَبِيرًا. Huge. You can't see the end of it.

When Al-Kabeer Says the Bounty is Kabeer

SubhanAllah. You have to know, who's the one who's saying that the mulk is kabeer. The Kabeer himself. The Kabeer himself is saying the mulk is kabeer.

You know, sometimes I ask a brother, what do you think of this restaurant? I've never tasted something like this. Amazing. And I go there and have food poisoning after. It was the worst food I've ever tasted. So I get very careful now. Who am I asking? Does this guy know his food? Are you experienced with food? How do you think of this vacation? Oh, subhanAllah. Florida is so beautiful. The place was amazing. I said, brother, but, you know, weren't there women not dressed properly at the beach that you went to? Yeah, but, you know, I lowered my gaze. Lower your gaze at the beach, ya habibi.

So you have to know who's giving you the description. Who's giving you the description? It's very important. If you ask a kid, you know, what do you think of this phone? Oh, my God, I would love to have an iPhone. If you ask probably a 19-year-old. 13? I have 17, habibi. You know, so it depends who you're talking to.

Now the Kabeer himself is saying that the mulk is kabeer. Can you imagine? Allah the Kabeer. He's saying that when you look, the mulk is kabeer.

The Last Person to Enter Jannah

Let me give you an idea. Ya Allah, or Rasulullah ﷺ said, I know the last person who entered Jannah. He is a man that is brought from the hellfire. And he will be crawling. And he will be told, go and enter Jannah. The last Muslim who will enter Jannah. Go and enter Jannah. He will come to it. And he will come back to Allah and say, Ya Allah, Jannah's full. Everybody's there. I don't see any spot for me.

So Allah said, go and enter Jannah. He will come and come back. Ya Allah, I just came back. It's full. Then he will come back to Allah. And Allah will tell him, go back and enter Jannah. And you will have the like of earth and ten times more.

This is the last guy who will enter Jannah. He will have the dunya. How many countries you visited? Have you visited all the continents? And if you visited all the continents, have you visited every city and village in these continents? Even if you lived a hundred years or so, you will not visit half of this dunya. Not even quarter of this dunya. The last person who will enter Jannah, will get ten times the size of earth, of dunya. Ten times.

So in another narration, he would say, Ya Allah, are you mocking me? Are you joking with me? All I'm looking is, I want a small spring of water with a nice house. This is enough for me, Allah. Are you mocking me?

So Ibn Mas'ud, when he was narrating the hadith, he laughed. He said to the sahaba, he said, ask me why I'm laughing. They asked him, why are you laughing Ibn Mas'ud? He said, because Rasulullah ﷺ, when he was narrating this hadith, he laughed. He laughed at this. And when he was asked, Ya Rasulullah, why are you laughing? He said, because Allah laughed when the guy told him, are you mocking me? وَأَنتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ And you are Rabbul Alameen. And you're telling me you got 10 times the dunya? SubhanAllah. And I saw the messenger smiling broadly, that his molar teeth could be seen.

Now, when we say مُلْكًا كَبِيرًا, we cannot, like we always say, there's no way that this brain, this dunya brain, can imagine what's happening in the akhira.
