00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious,
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:38
			the Most Merciful.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			All praise is due to Allah, the Lord
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			of the Worlds, and to the righteous.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			And peace and blessings be upon His noble
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			Messenger, and upon his family and companions.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:50
			Next.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:58
			This is the third season of the Al
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:03
			-Bina course, or series of lectures.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			We've covered three main topics.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:10
			Aqidah, and the fiqh, and the seerah.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			Every Monday, we hold the Aqidah class.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:20
			Previously, we covered various topics under the subject
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:24
			of Aqidah, and we continue in this third
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:29
			season with the same series of lectures, covering
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			some additional topics related to Aqidah.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:38
			Today's topic is the belief in Allah's existence.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:43
			This is a topic that is very common
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			nowadays.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:53
			And not only some Muslims have doubts in
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:58
			Allah's existence, in fact, some have even left
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:03
			the religion of Islam because of the shubuhat,
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			because of the doubts that have been instilled
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			in their mind, or I should say the
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:13
			shubuhat that have been whispered in their mind.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:21
			And unfortunately, this fitna is fast growing, which
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			is known as atheism.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:24
			Atheists.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:29
			Those who deny the existence of Allah subhanahu
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:34
			wa ta'ala based on not any evidence
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:39
			at all, rather all based on shubuhat and
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			the doubts.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			And when they are encountered with some clear
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:50
			-cut evidences, the answer is, that's it, this
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			is how it happens.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:58
			So according to them, everything happens automatically.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:05
			So this whole universe came into existence without
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			a creator.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:12
			The heavens and the earth, and the sea,
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:17
			the sun, moon, stars, everything came into existence
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			by itself, as well as human beings.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:26
			And this is something that does not appeal
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			the nature of human beings.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			Believing in the existence of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:37
			ta'ala, or believing in the existence of
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:42
			a creator, it is something that is part
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:46
			of the natural instinct of human beings.
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:53
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, fitratallah allathee
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:59
			fataran nasa alaiha The fitrah upon which Allah
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:03
			subhanahu wa ta'ala created the mankind, Allah
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			created the human beings.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:09
			la tabdeela li khalqillah There is no change
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12
			in the creation of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:12
			'ala.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			No change in the creation of Allah means,
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:18
			the way Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala created
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21
			the things, no one could create differently.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25
			No one could create any change.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			For example, Allah created the heavens, no one
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			is able to change the creation of the
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:36
			heavens, or the earth, or the sea, or
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			the sun, or the moon, or the mountain,
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			like was human beings.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:45
			You may say that human beings are different,
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			every individual is different, no doubt they are
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:53
			different, but they have some limitations.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:59
			For example, a human being has to grow
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			to a certain height.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:06
			What stops a human being to grow longer
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			or taller than the certain height?
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11
			If a man, if a person came into
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:16
			existence by himself or herself, what stops the
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:20
			person to grow further, to grow taller?
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:26
			Why we don't see common human beings having
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			three hands?
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			Why can't a human being have two faces?
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:37
			Why can't a normal human being have four
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38
			eyes?
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:43
			Four ears, two nose, what stops them?
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:49
			If everything came into existence by itself, then
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:49
			what stops them?
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:54
			These limitations and this particular form or shape
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:58
			itself is an evidence that they have been
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			created by a creator.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:04
			Someone is there who has created them.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:07
			And this is something that Allah Subh'anaHu
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			Wa Ta-A'la has highlighted in the
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:13
			Qur'an in many ayat, in many surahs.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:18
			And those who have doubts with regards to
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			the existence of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			-A'la, as he said, they are only
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			doubts, there is no any evidence.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			They may say we have some scientific evidences,
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			but on the other hand, there are more
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			than one or more than the evidences they
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35
			have.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			There are other evidences that prove the existence
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			of the creator, Allah Dhul-Jalali wal-Ikram.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:47
			There are so many intellectual or rational evidences
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			that prove the existence of Allah Subh'anaHu
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:51
			Wa Ta-A'la.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55
			Those who have shubuhat, those who have doubts
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			with regards to the existence of Allah Subh
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, one of their
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:03
			common shubuhat or the doubt is that way
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:06
			in the Qur'an is written that Allah
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07
			exists.
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			Is there any ayah, is there any clear
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:12
			cut evidence in the Qur'an?
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:16
			The answer is that there are some ayat,
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:19
			but if you were to contemplate and reflect
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			on the meaning and the translation of those
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:21
			ayat.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			Secondly, yes, there are only few ayat that
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29
			discuss the existence of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			Ta-A'la, but vast majority of the
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			ayat, I should say, one third of the
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:38
			entire Qur'an focuses on the tawheed of
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43
			So, the Qur'an does not focus much
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:48
			on the existence of Allah, rather, it focuses
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			on the oneness of Allah, on the tawheed
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:51
			of Allah.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:51
			Why?
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:56
			Because the existence of believing or belief in
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59
			the existence of Allah is something that is
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			part of the natural instinct.
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			This is part of the fitrah.
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:09
			A person, any human being who is born
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:13
			and he grows up, they ask question about
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			the existence of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:15
			-A'la.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			Those who have doubts, I'm talking about those
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:18
			who have doubts.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:23
			Them asking those questions or raising those doubts
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:27
			or raising question based on those doubts, it
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:34
			itself is an evidence that their fitrah invites
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			them to believe in the Creator.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			That is why they have all these evidences.
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			That is why they have all these doubts
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			and shubuhat.
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la said
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:51
			in the Qur'an, And the Prophet Sallallahu
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			Alaihi Wasallam has confirmed that.
		
00:08:53 --> 00:09:05
			He said, The
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, There is no
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:11
			human being, there is no insan that is
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:15
			born except he and she is born on
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:15
			fitrah.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:21
			And then later, his environment, his parents, and
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:24
			the people who groom him or her, they
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			are the one who change his religion.
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			That is why the religion of Islam is
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			called the religion of fitrah.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33
			Fitrah Allah.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:36
			Fitrah Allah, the fitrah of Allah, the fitrah
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:39
			that Allah created the human beings on is
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40
			the fitrah of Islam.
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			And Islam is based on what?
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			Tawheed of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			'la, believing in one God.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			And this is something that Allah has discussed
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:51
			in the Qur'an.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			For example, in Surah Al-Anbiya, Allah Subh
		
00:09:54 --> 00:10:02
			'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la says, If there
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:05
			were more than one God in this universe,
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:08
			the whole system will go wrong.
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			Allah says, Allah did not take a child,
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:25
			and there is no any God besides Allah
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:26
			Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la.
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			If there was another God, if there was
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:37
			one more God, God one would create something,
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			Allah two would create something else.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:44
			And then who would decide who has more
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:44
			power?
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			Because both of them can't be equal.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:50
			If one has more power than the other,
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			then the one who has less power, how
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			can he be God and Allah then?
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:57
			He has limited power.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			God and Allah should be someone who has
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:03
			unlimited power and authority over everything.
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:06
			If one has less power than the other,
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			then it shows that there is only one
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:10
			God.
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:13
			And this is one of the evidences that
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16
			we present to the Christians, those who believe
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:17
			in Trinity.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:23
			They say, Allah has a son, Isa.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:29
			So, they say that the father God and
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:34
			the son God, do they have the similar
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			level of power and authority?
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:37
			No.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:39
			The father God has more authority.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:43
			Then it means, the son that you believe
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:46
			or you call a son God, he does
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			not have a power or he has limited.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:51
			Then the one who created, he is actually
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:51
			Allah.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:55
			If he is Allah, if he is the
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			creator, then he is the one who deserves
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:58
			our worship.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:02
			And if he deserves our worship, then why
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:05
			other Allah and other Gods deserve our worship?
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			Why do we need to worship?
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:10
			So, this is how Quran has discussed this
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:10
			matter.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:19
			If there are many Gods in the heaven
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:22
			and the earth, the whole system will crop,
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:27
			will flop, because it cannot work.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:34
			You cannot have two individuals running the system
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:38
			of any country, both of them have the
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:39
			same power.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:42
			Have you ever heard that there are two
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			prime ministers in one country?
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:47
			Two presidents in one country?
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:49
			Yeah, there is always opposition.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:56
			One may take over the chair, one may
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:00
			take over the other, but both of them
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:03
			cannot have equal power and authority.
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:09
			How can this whole universe run smoothly, not
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:12
			for a day or two, for millions of
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:16
			years, every single day the sun comes out,
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:20
			sun rises and sun sets, moon comes out
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21
			and goes down.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:24
			And every single day you have a day
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:27
			and night, and sometimes days are longer than
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:30
			night, and sometimes vice versa.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:35
			All of this is the evidence that there
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:35
			is a creator.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:39
			And this is what Allah has discussed in
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
			many ayat of the Quran.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			And this is what we are going to
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:47
			discuss inshallah next week, with regards to Tawheed
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			al-Rububiyah.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:52
			Because this is the first step, that you
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			understand that there is a creator.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			Going back to the doubts of those who
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			do not believe in the existence of Allah
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:00
			subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:05
			One of the common doubt is that, who
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			created Allah then?
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			If Allah is a creator, who created Allah?
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:16
			And for us, the Muslims, those who believe
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:18
			in the Quran, and in the hadith of
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:22
			Rasulullah s.a.w, the Prophet a.s.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:23
			has addressed this question.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:28
			And he s.a.w said, you keep
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:31
			asking and raising questions about the existence of
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, starting from the
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:33
			Qadr of Allah.
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			And then you end up asking or raising
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:38
			this question, who created Allah?
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:42
			The simple answer for us the believers, those
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			who believe in the Quran, in the hadith,
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:47
			of Rasulullah s.a.w is, that you
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:48
			stop at that point.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:50
			As soon as shaitan whispers in your mind,
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:51
			who created Allah?
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:52
			That's it.
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:54
			Say, I seek refuge with Allah, and try
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56
			to get rid of that doubt from your
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:56
			mind.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:15:00
			But for those, who do not believe in
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			the Quran, those who do not believe in
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:05
			the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w, for them
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:09
			the answer is, that you tell us who
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			created, who could have created Allah.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			If we say, the way you believe, that
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:18
			everything came into existence by itself, what if
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:20
			we say, that Allah came into existence by
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:21
			himself?
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:24
			Then what?
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27
			How can you deny that?
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			They have no evidence to deny.
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:33
			On the other hand, if we say, someone
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:35
			created Allah, I seek refuge with Allah from
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:38
			that, then who created?
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:39
			The one who created Allah.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			And this is something that can lead, and
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:45
			unlimited, you know, it continues.
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:48
			You will have to believe, you have to
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:51
			believe, that there is a creator, who is
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:52
			not created.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			And the one who is created, cannot be
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			creator.
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			That is why Allah says in the Quran,
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:02
			in Surah At-Tur, أَمْ خُلِقُوا مِنْ غَيْرِ
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:07
			شَيْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ الْخَالِقُونَ أَمْ خَلَقُوا السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:11
			بَلْ لَا يُوقِنُوا أَمْ خُلِقُوا مِنْ غَيْرِ شَيْءٍ
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:15
			Have the human beings been created from nothing?
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:19
			And how is it possible for anything to
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			come into existence from nothing?
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:26
			You name a thing in this, anything that
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:30
			you have in your possession, this laptop, this
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:36
			mic, this table, chair, anything, can you prove
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:39
			that all of this came into existence by
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:39
			itself?
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:40
			No.
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:42
			You would never say that.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:46
			Rather you believe that someone created, someone made
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:47
			them.
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:51
			That is why it is reported that someone
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:55
			raised this question to Imam Abu Hanifa, Rahimahullah.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:59
			And he replied and he said, what if
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:01
			I say to you that there was a
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:05
			tree, a tree came into existence by itself,
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:10
			and then the tree itself fell down.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:14
			And the tree itself was chopped into pieces
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:14
			of wood.
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:18
			And those pieces of wood came together by
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:19
			themselves.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:23
			And they took the form of a ship.
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:26
			And then once the ship was made or
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:29
			the ship came into existence by itself, the
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			ship itself went into the sea.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:35
			And then it traveled for a long journey
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			and then the ship came back.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:41
			And the ship was loaded with the stuff
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:42
			by itself.
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			And the ship came back by itself.
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:45
			Would you believe in that?
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:47
			He said no.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:48
			How can it be possible?
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:49
			It cannot happen.
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:53
			He said one single ship cannot come into
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			existence by itself.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:58
			How can this whole universe come into existence
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:59
			by itself?
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:04
			And it is also narrated in another narration
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:09
			that Imam Abu Hanifa, he had a debate
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:14
			with an atheist, someone who did not believe
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:15
			in the existence of Allah.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20
			And the time was agreed.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:22
			The place was agreed.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:26
			And Imam Abu Hanifa, he was late.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:29
			He was late for the appointed time.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:34
			And when he came late, the opposite side,
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:37
			the atheist, he asked him, you Muslim, you
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:41
			do not stick to your time and you
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:42
			are late.
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:43
			Why were you late?
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:47
			Abu Hanifa said actually, I was far away
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:51
			and I had no means to travel to
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:51
			this place.
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:55
			Then all of a sudden, a ship came
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			into existence in front of me.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:00
			And then I traveled and the ship by
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:01
			itself moved.
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03
			And this is how I traveled.
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			He said, you know, how is it possible?
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			No, you are lying.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:12
			He said, if I am lying, then you
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			are lying as well.
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:16
			That this whole universe came into existence by
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:19
			itself without a creator.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:22
			Allah says, Am khuliqoo min ghayri shay'in
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:26
			am humul khaliqoon Have they been created by
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			themselves or without anything?
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			Now there are only two possibilities.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:37
			Either something comes into existence by a maker,
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:40
			by a creator, or it comes into existence
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:41
			by itself.
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:46
			If it comes into existence by itself, then
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:49
			what is the evidence and how is it
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:49
			possible?
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54
			Now on reasoning or rational, how is it
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:57
			possible for something to come into existence?
		
00:19:57 --> 00:20:00
			And more than how, why?
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			Why something came into existence?
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			There must be a reason.
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:09
			This mouse has been created for a reason.
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:12
			Laptop has been created for a reason.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:16
			Microphone has been created for a reason.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:19
			Table has been made for a reason.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:25
			But this whole universe came into existence without
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:27
			a creator and without a reason?
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:32
			A human being came into existence without a
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			creator, without a reason?
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:36
			How is it possible?
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:41
			Everything that you enjoy in this life come
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42
			into existence for a reason.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:48
			But your own self existence has no reason.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:54
			Allah says, Afa hasibtum annama khalaqnakum abafa wa
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56
			annakum ilayna la turjaun.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			Do you believe or do you think that
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:02
			you have been created without a purpose?
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:08
			Rather, human being are created for a purpose,
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:09
			for a reason.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			And the reason Allah has told us in
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:14
			the Quran wama khalaqtul jinna wal insa illa
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:14
			liyabudoon.
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:20
			So, for something, for you to say that
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:25
			something comes into existence without a reason, this
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:26
			does not make sense.
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:29
			And if you say, yes, there is a
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			reason, who is going to define the reason?
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:36
			Obviously someone who makes something, he is the
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:38
			one who defines the reason.
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:43
			And if a human being came into existence
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:46
			by a creator, then the creator is the
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			one who has defined the reason.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			And the reason is as Allah says, wama
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52
			khalaqtul jinna wal insa illa liyabudoon.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			And if you say that human being came
		
00:21:55 --> 00:22:00
			into existence without a reason, then next question
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			is, why human being die?
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:04
			What is the reason?
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:07
			Why can't they live forever in this life?
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:10
			Why can't they live forever?
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:14
			If something came into existence by itself, what
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:15
			stops them?
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:18
			And what is the reason that they leave
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:19
			this dunya?
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:21
			What stops them from living forever?
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:25
			Why someone dies at the age of 40,
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27
			50, 60, 70?
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:33
			And another question is, what if someone does
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:35
			not want to die but they still die?
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			Someone especially those who do not believe in
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:41
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:43
			They are always afraid of death.
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:47
			The true believer is never scared of death.
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:50
			As Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has confirmed.
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:54
			The true believer always loves meeting Allah Dhul
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:54
			Jalal al-Ikram.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:23:00
			But those who do not believe in Allah,
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:03
			they do not want to leave this dunya.
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:03
			Why?
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:04
			What is the reason?
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:08
			If they came into existence without a reason,
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:11
			why they would leave this dunya without a
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:12
			reason?
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:18
			Have they been created from nothing?
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:23
			Or the other possibility is that they themselves
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			are the Khaliq.
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			So this is another point.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:31
			If you say that something came into existence
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:35
			without a creator, in other words, you are
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:39
			saying that that particular object is the creator
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:40
			of itself.
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:44
			Human being came into existence by himself and
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:48
			Insan, a man came into existence by himself
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:50
			means that he created himself.
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:55
			Then it means you do believe in a
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:55
			creator.
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:57
			You do believe in a creator.
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:01
			You do not believe in one creator, rather
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:03
			you believe in countless creators.
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:09
			And how can there be countless creators and
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:13
			and all of them, they agree on something
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:15
			with regards to the shape and the form
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:16
			of human being.
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			As I just said at the start, that
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:22
			why person A has two hands and person
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:24
			B cannot have three hands.
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:28
			Because person 1 came into existence, basically the
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:31
			person 1 created himself and the person B
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:32
			created himself as well.
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:36
			Why both of them have two hands?
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39
			Why person B can't have three?
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			Person C have four hands.
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			Person D have five hands.
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:44
			Why?
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			This all is in evidence that there is
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:48
			one creator.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:52
			There is one created who has created the
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:53
			human being and he is the one who
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:55
			created the heavens and the earth.
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:58
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says in the
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:01
			Quran, in the story of Sayyiduna Musa A
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:08
			.S. that Firaun Firaun did not deny the
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:09
			existence of Allah.
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:17
			Rather he claimed to be Allah along with
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:19
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:25
			And when Musa A.S. gave him Dawah,
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:27
			he said as Allah says in the Quran
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:34
			Firaun What is and Who is Because Musa
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:38
			A.S. called him to the oneness of
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:40
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:43
			And then he raised this question as it
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45
			is mentioned in another ayah in Surah Taha
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:52
			He said Who is your Lord O Musa
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:56
			And Musa A.S. gave evidence.
		
00:25:56 --> 00:26:02
			He said The The Rabb and the creator
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:04
			and the lord of the heavens and the
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:04
			earth.
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:07
			This was the strongest and the biggest evidence
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:11
			that Musa A.S. presented before Firaun and
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:14
			this is the evidence that Allah has repeatedly
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:15
			mentioned in the Quran.
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			The people of Mecca during the time of
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:21
			the Prophet S.A.W they never denied
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:24
			the existence of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:29
			Rather they said that Allah is the one
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:29
			who has.
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:32
			They always believed in higher power.
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:37
			And they said Allah has divided his authority
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:41
			and he has distributed his authorities amongst various
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:42
			gods.
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:46
			He has given the authority to so and
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:47
			so to give children.
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:50
			He gave authority to so and so to
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:53
			provide provision and rizq and to grant barakah.
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56
			So this is what they believed in.
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:58
			They never refused.
		
00:26:58 --> 00:26:59
			They never denied the existence of Allah.
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:02
			But Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala made his
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:03
			Tawheed Al-Rububiyah.
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:06
			That if you believe that Allah is the
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:06
			one.
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:07
			He is alone.
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:09
			He is the one who created the heavens
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:10
			and the earth.
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:14
			Then this is an evidence that he himself
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:16
			alone deserves your worship.
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:18
			And that is as said.
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			We are going to discuss inshallah next week
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:21
			Tawheed Al-Rububiyah.
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:32
			So Musa A.S. said My
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:35
			Lord, my Rab is the Rab of the
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:38
			heavens and the earth if you have yaqeen,
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:40
			if you have certainty.
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:45
			Meaning you have to have certainty in believing
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:49
			that the heavens and the earth were created
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:49
			by your creator.
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:54
			And the same thing Allah has repeated in
		
00:27:54 --> 00:28:02
			Surah At-Tur when he said Have they
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:04
			been created from nothing?
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:08
			Or they are the creator of themselves?
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:11
			Or have they created the heavens and the
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:11
			earth?
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:14
			Then Allah says But the reality is that
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			they have no certainty.
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:21
			Rather they have their belief based on all
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:21
			the doubts.
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:24
			And this is what Musa A.S. said
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:27
			to Firaun If you have yaqeen.
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:31
			Then Firaun said to the people around him
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:36
			He said Do you not hear what Musa
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:36
			A.S. is saying?
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:41
			Musa A.S. said it's not only the
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:43
			Lord, the Rab of the heavens and the
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:50
			earth Rather The Rab who created the heavens
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:51
			and the earth He is the same Rab
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:58
			who created you and your forefathers He is
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:00
			the Rab of the east and the west
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:02
			and whatever is in between.
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:08
			So Musa A.S. presented the evidence of
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:12
			this whole universe as evidence for the existence
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:13
			of Allah.
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:19
			For the existence of Allah So these are
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:24
			the evidences that the Quran focuses on Believing
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:25
			in one God.
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			And you can believe in one God only
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:30
			if you believe in the existence of Allah
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:33
			And for you to believe in the existence
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:36
			of Allah You need to look at the
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:37
			signs of the universe.
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:39
			You need to look into the signs of
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:40
			the universe.
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:42
			That is why Allah.S.W.T. said
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:49
			in the Quran Why do these people do
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:52
			not ponder and reflect upon themselves?
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:57
			Look at their own body a particular shape
		
00:29:58 --> 00:30:08
			How they came into existence Arabic Arabic Arabic
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:10
			Allah did not create the heavens and the
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:15
			earth and whatever is between except with truth
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:19
			and for a limited period of time for
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:28
			a specific time Arabic Arabic The vast majority
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:31
			of people deny meeting Allah.S.W.T.
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:36
			So the very first point is that believing
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:38
			in the existence of Allah.S.W.T
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:43
			is based on the fitrah upon which Allah
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:46
			.S.W.T has created the human beings
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:51
			Every person, every human being naturally believes in
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:54
			Allah.S.W.T Now the question is
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:57
			how can you confirm that every single human
		
00:30:57 --> 00:31:00
			being believes in Allah, in the existence of
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:03
			Allah This is what the Quran confirms Arabic
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:13
			Arabic Arabic Arabic When Allah created Adam.S
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:18
			.W.T Allah brought and produced from the
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:22
			loins of Adam.S.W.T his offspring
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:26
			and from the offspring, the offspring and Allah
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:32
			made them witness Arabic Allah asked each one
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:34
			of us whether we remember or we don't
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:38
			If we don't remember then the message of
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:42
			the Prophet comes to awaken us so that
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:47
			those who accept the message, they actually remember
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:51
			what they promised Allah So Allah asked each
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:54
			one of us, He said Arabic Am I
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:55
			not your Lord?
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:59
			All of them said, why not?
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:04
			Arabic We bear witness, we testify that you
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:07
			are our Rabb, you are our Lord, you
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:12
			are our creator Then Allah says Arabic Arabic
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:16
			So that you should not say on the
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:19
			day of judgment that we were unaware that
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:20
			who created us.
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:23
			So that is the fitrah that Allah S
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:27
			.W.T created us on and this is
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:31
			the reason that people raise these questions about
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:34
			the existence of Allah and them asking those
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:37
			questions or raising those shubhaat itself is an
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:41
			evidence that they naturally believe in the existence
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:44
			of Allah S.W.T Then they have
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:46
			those doubts and those doubts have been whispered
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:53
			in their mind Arabic Arabic And finally I
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:58
			would like to recommend those who are interested
		
00:32:58 --> 00:33:01
			in this matter to basically study in detail
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:06
			a very good book written by brother Hamza
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:11
			the one who works for Aira I think
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:16
			it's Divine something Does anyone know the name
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:16
			of the book?
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:20
			Divine Reality Yes, Divine Reality.
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:24
			It's a very good book Alhamdulillah because all
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:27
			these shubhaat comes from philosophers based on philosophy
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:32
			and the philosophy itself is so weak as
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:34
			compared to the evidence of the Quran and
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:37
			the evidence that Allah S.W.T has
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:41
			placed in the universe and the very last
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:43
			thing that I would like to advise those
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:47
			who do not have a strong base or
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:51
			foundation of their belief based on the evidence
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:54
			of the Quran and the hadiths never ever
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:58
			indulge into discussion with the atheists and those
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:01
			who have doubts about the existence of Allah
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:03
			or those who do not believe in the
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:06
			existence of Allah S.W.T because it
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:11
			can eventually and potentially lead you having doubts
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:13
			about the existence of Allah S.W.T
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:17
			for you to have a strong foundation of
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:19
			your belief in the existence of Allah S
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:21
			.W.T you need to study the Quran
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:25
			the hadiths of Rasulullah S.A.W and
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:31
			under within the umbrella of the Quran and
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:33
			the hadiths of Rasulullah S.A.W look
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:37
			into the scientific evidences about the existence of
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:40
			Allah S.W.T then only you may
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:43
			have discussion with those who have doubts or
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:45
			those who do not believe in the existence
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:48
			of Allah S.W.T otherwise for a
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:50
			believer for Muslim it does not be fit
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:53
			for them to just simply as unfortunately some
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:55
			of the youth nowadays say just out of
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:58
			curiosity I just wanted to know I just
		
00:34:58 --> 00:35:02
			wanted to hear their side no before you
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:05
			hear their side before you get involved into
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:07
			the doubts or hear their doubts you need
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:10
			to understand the ayat of the Quran you
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:13
			need to understand the hadiths of Rasulullah S
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:14
			.A.W you need to have that solid
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:19
			foundation then only you can tackle this issue
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:21
			may Allah S.W.T grant us protection
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:24
			and may Allah S.W.T protect us
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:26
			from the whispers of shaitan and from the
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:29
			shubuhat may Allah S.W.T keep us
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:31
			firm and steadfast on the path of Islam
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:44
			more knowledge on Islam and question okay the
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:47
			question is what do you say to people
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:51
			who inquire more knowledge on Islam and question
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:55
			why Allah is used as the term he
		
00:35:56 --> 00:36:00
			okay if obviously you know whatever Allah S
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:02
			.W.T used in the Quran whether the
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:04
			term he or other term this is not
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:06
			only term there are other terms as well
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:08
			you may raise question about those terms as
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:11
			well all of these terms have been used
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:15
			in order for us to understand in order
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:17
			for us to understand let me give you
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:19
			an example Allah says in the Quran one
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:24
			of the attributes of Allah is alimulghaybi washshahada
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:29
			Allah is the knower of the unseen and
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:36
			the present just reflect on this word alimulghaybi
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:39
			Allah is the knower of the unseen if
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:42
			something is unseen and he knows does it
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:47
			not contradict how can it be unseen if
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:50
			he knows how can it be unseen and
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:53
			if it is unseen how can he be
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:56
			knower but why it is not once or
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:59
			twice in so many ayat Allah says alimulghaybi
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:02
			washshahada he is the knower of the unseen
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:06
			and the present the answer is that Allah
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:09
			said unseen for human being whatever is unseen
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:14
			for us he knows nothing is unseen for
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:18
			Allah for Allah everything is present everything is
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:20
			within the knowledge of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:23
			'ala everything is within the knowledge of Allah
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:27
			nothing is unseen for Allah but Allah used
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:35
			the term alimulghaybi washshahada all the unseen wherever
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:38
			the word unseen is used or the word
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:40
			ghayb is used in the Quran it is
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:44
			for us to understand another example is that
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:53
			Allah says whenever Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:57
			intends to do something he says kun, be
		
00:37:58 --> 00:38:04
			or become and it comes into existence now
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:07
			the question is that Allah why does Allah
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:10
			need to say kun, that is why some
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:13
			of the mufassirun said that is for us
		
00:38:13 --> 00:38:17
			to understand that nothing is impossible for Allah
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:22
			for us to understand Allah said whenever he
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:25
			intends to do something he says kun for
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:30
			us to understand whereas in reality Allah does
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:32
			not even need to say Allah is not
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:35
			in need of anything Allah does not need
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:39
			to even say kun he intends it happens
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:44
			so likewise the term he or huwa in
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:48
			Arabic is mentioned for us to understand because
		
00:38:48 --> 00:38:52
			we human being again we have been created
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:54
			by the creator and the one who created
		
00:38:54 --> 00:38:58
			us he created us with limitations as we
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:03
			have the limitations we have limited limited forms
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:08
			of our limbs, the body and everything likewise
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:13
			he gave us limited ability to understand, limited
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:18
			ability to comprehend limited ability to see limited
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:22
			ability to hear limited ability to do something,
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:28
			everything is limited and these limitations are also
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:30
			the evidence of the creator the one who
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:33
			created us he is the one who has
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:36
			set those limits for us those limitations for
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:40
			us and but for Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:44
			'ala no limit when we say Allah is
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:47
			samee and baseer and aleem and khabeer and
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:51
			hakeem without any limit so since we have
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:56
			limited ability to comprehend and understand he subhanahu
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:59
			wa ta'ala addressed us according to our
		
00:39:59 --> 00:40:02
			ability according to our ability that is why
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:04
			he subhanahu wa ta'ala has used these
		
00:40:04 --> 00:40:14
			terms are there people that
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:17
			remember like the prophets being asked by Allah,
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:23
			am I not your lord if you are
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:26
			asking about the question that Allah created, when
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:28
			Allah asked all the human beings that obviously
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:38
			the prophets were included in that mentioned Adam
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:40
			a.s. can you explain how the children
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:45
			came into being what was the form when
		
00:40:45 --> 00:40:47
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala created Adam a
		
00:40:47 --> 00:40:49
			.s. to a certain extent it is mentioned
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:52
			in the hadith that Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:55
			'ala created Adam a.s. and he was
		
00:40:55 --> 00:41:00
			60 cubic long tall, ok and then what
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:03
			was the form of the children of Adam
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:07
			when Allah took that covenant, Allah a.s.
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:09
			we do not know, they say this is
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:11
			something that belongs to the knowledge of the
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:15
			unseen and we don't have that knowledge whatever
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:17
			happened in the past we don't have the
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:19
			knowledge of it, whatever is going to happen
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:20
			in the future we don't have the knowledge
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:23
			of it unless and until Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:25
			ta'ala reveals it to us through his
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:28
			prophets and whatever Allah has revealed to his
		
00:41:28 --> 00:41:30
			prophet and the prophet a.s. has informed
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:32
			us we know of that, other than that
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:34
			we do not have any knowledge because we
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:48
			have limited ability to comprehend how do
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:52
			you explain to someone that their purpose for
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:54
			creation is to worship Allah while also emphasizing
		
00:41:54 --> 00:41:59
			the importance of balancing this with their everyday
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:04
			life, yeah so in order to fulfill your
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:08
			purpose of creation and how to balance first
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:10
			of all we need to define the balance
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:14
			the problem is that each one of us
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:17
			we have created our own balance someone says
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:19
			I want to have balance, I want to
		
00:42:19 --> 00:42:22
			have balance between my deen and dunya okay,
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:26
			my definition of balance is different from your
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:31
			definition of balance, for example for me for
		
00:42:31 --> 00:42:33
			example the balance between deen and dunya would
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:35
			be that I must offer five daily prayers,
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:38
			I must recite five ajza of the Quran
		
00:42:38 --> 00:42:41
			every single day, I must wake up for
		
00:42:41 --> 00:42:43
			salat tahajjud, I must do this, this, this,
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:46
			all of that yet I am able to
		
00:42:46 --> 00:42:49
			do my daily routine the worldly matter, deal
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:52
			with my worldly matters as well, this is
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:55
			a perfect balance for me but for those
		
00:42:55 --> 00:42:58
			who do not have the habit of offering
		
00:42:58 --> 00:43:01
			five daily prayers, if you ask them, their
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:04
			first answer would be, we are so busy
		
00:43:04 --> 00:43:06
			at work we are so busy, how can
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:08
			I how can I space some time, because
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:11
			their understanding of the balance is different and
		
00:43:11 --> 00:43:14
			this is not the right word to use
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:18
			when you say balance the one who created
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:22
			us he is the one who defines the
		
00:43:22 --> 00:43:25
			balance for us, and for that balance he
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:28
			has ordered us to worship him five times
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:31
			a day because he is the one who
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:33
			created and he knows how to keep that
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:36
			balance and the one who created us and
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:39
			he knows our ability, the one who has
		
00:43:39 --> 00:43:42
			set our limitation, he is the one who
		
00:43:42 --> 00:43:44
			has ordered us to do this, it is
		
00:43:44 --> 00:43:48
			only for us to change our mindset, to
		
00:43:48 --> 00:43:52
			change our mindset and our attitude towards the
		
00:43:52 --> 00:44:01
			worship of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala a
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:03
			Muslim you know is already questioned the Qadar
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:09
			of Allah, how can we help them ok,
		
00:44:09 --> 00:44:11
			the matter of Qadar I think is going
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:14
			to be discussed in one of the classes
		
00:44:14 --> 00:44:16
			later inshallah, then we will discuss the Qadar
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:19
			how to understand the Qadar and the divine
		
00:44:19 --> 00:44:21
			decree of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala ok,
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:34
			since humans and the way we have been
		
00:44:34 --> 00:44:38
			created is an evidence for Allah's existence, how
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:42
			do we understand that there are those who
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:50
			are born with deformities basically those who are
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:53
			born with some kind of disabilities or less
		
00:44:53 --> 00:44:58
			abilities or whatever for them to be born
		
00:44:58 --> 00:45:02
			in that way is itself is an evidence
		
00:45:02 --> 00:45:05
			that there is someone who created them, otherwise
		
00:45:06 --> 00:45:09
			someone who is born with a disability or
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:13
			any kind of you know defect in their
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:15
			body, in their limbs who would want that
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:20
			who would want that no one and if
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:23
			someone is born with some kind of disability
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:26
			or any you know defect in their body
		
00:45:26 --> 00:45:29
			or deformation within the body or their form
		
00:45:29 --> 00:45:32
			then this itself is an evidence that Allah
		
00:45:32 --> 00:45:34
			is the one who created them, what is
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:39
			the wisdom we cannot truly understand the wisdom
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:43
			but there are some reasons that are mentioned
		
00:45:43 --> 00:45:45
			that we can derive from the ayat of
		
00:45:45 --> 00:45:47
			the Quran as well as the hadith of
		
00:45:47 --> 00:45:50
			Rasulullah S.A.W for example the parents
		
00:45:52 --> 00:45:56
			have a disabled child it is a trial
		
00:45:56 --> 00:45:59
			for them it is a long term trial
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:02
			for them and there are evidence in the
		
00:46:02 --> 00:46:04
			hadith of the Prophet S.A.W that
		
00:46:04 --> 00:46:07
			this kind of trial is one of the
		
00:46:07 --> 00:46:11
			greatest means for them to attain the forgiveness
		
00:46:11 --> 00:46:13
			of Allah S.W.T in this life
		
00:46:13 --> 00:46:16
			for their sins and not only attain the
		
00:46:16 --> 00:46:20
			forgiveness of Allah rather to attain great reward
		
00:46:20 --> 00:46:23
			and while they are going through this trial
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:29
			of dealing with their disabled child Allah S
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:34
			.W.T raises their ranks in paradise on
		
00:46:34 --> 00:46:36
			the day of judgment so there are so
		
00:46:36 --> 00:46:40
			many other wisdoms by which Allah S.W
		
00:46:40 --> 00:46:46
			.T creates the human being are there people
		
00:46:46 --> 00:46:51
			that remember being asked by Allah I am
		
00:46:51 --> 00:46:54
			not your lord are there people that remember
		
00:46:54 --> 00:46:57
			being asked by Allah I am not your
		
00:46:57 --> 00:47:02
			lord every single believer who believes in the
		
00:47:02 --> 00:47:07
			existence of Allah that belief is the sign
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:10
			that they confirm that day when Allah created
		
00:47:10 --> 00:47:11
			them that is why they believe in Allah
		
00:47:11 --> 00:47:20
			so every single believer believes in that how
		
00:47:20 --> 00:47:30
			do you answer someone
		
00:47:30 --> 00:47:32
			who says nothing in this world is in
		
00:47:32 --> 00:47:36
			perfect order like natural disasters and everything is
		
00:47:36 --> 00:47:40
			happening in a chaos ok, not everything happens
		
00:47:40 --> 00:47:42
			in chaos, how many times have you seen
		
00:47:42 --> 00:47:45
			the sun coming from the west how many
		
00:47:45 --> 00:47:48
			times have you seen the heavens falling down
		
00:47:49 --> 00:47:52
			how many times have you seen the moon
		
00:47:52 --> 00:47:54
			coming to the earth how can you say
		
00:47:54 --> 00:47:59
			everything is in chaos it's only limited, few
		
00:47:59 --> 00:48:01
			things that happens by the wisdom of Allah
		
00:48:01 --> 00:48:05
			S.W.T Allah, the one who created
		
00:48:05 --> 00:48:08
			he shows the signs he shows the signs
		
00:48:08 --> 00:48:11
			of his power to us, to believe in
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:15
			his existence, to believe in his power ok
		
00:48:15 --> 00:48:19
			we have days, nights sun, moon, everything everything
		
00:48:22 --> 00:48:25
			everything is moving according to the plan of
		
00:48:25 --> 00:48:28
			Allah S.W.T how Allah S.W
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:34
			.T orders them and nothing moves without the
		
00:48:34 --> 00:48:37
			permission of Allah S.W.T, nothing happens
		
00:48:37 --> 00:48:41
			without the permission of Allah and everything happens
		
00:48:41 --> 00:48:44
			in this world by the permission of Allah,
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:47
			see even the disasters the disaster any kind
		
00:48:47 --> 00:48:51
			of disaster, natural disaster or any disaster, it
		
00:48:51 --> 00:48:53
			happens by the permission of Allah S.W
		
00:48:53 --> 00:48:56
			.T again, that is vast topic that why
		
00:48:56 --> 00:48:59
			these disasters happen, what is the wisdom based
		
00:48:59 --> 00:49:01
			on the ayat of the Quran the hadith
		
00:49:01 --> 00:49:03
			of Rasulullah S.W.T there are so
		
00:49:03 --> 00:49:07
			many benefits we look on the negative side
		
00:49:07 --> 00:49:09
			only and we tend to forget all the
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:15
			positive ok, and naturally we are inclined towards
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:18
			looking on the negativity on the negative side
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:21
			and we tend to forget the positive and
		
00:49:21 --> 00:49:23
			this is something that is natural within human
		
00:49:23 --> 00:49:25
			there are only few human beings who always
		
00:49:25 --> 00:49:30
			look on the positive side ok if you
		
00:49:30 --> 00:49:33
			are afflicted by a problem, by a difficulty
		
00:49:33 --> 00:49:35
			by a calamity in your life you will
		
00:49:35 --> 00:49:38
			be focusing on that one single calamity and
		
00:49:38 --> 00:49:40
			you tend to forget the thousands of the
		
00:49:40 --> 00:49:42
			blessings of Allah why?
		
00:49:42 --> 00:49:46
			because you focus on negative and you you
		
00:49:46 --> 00:49:50
			tend to forget all the positives and this
		
00:49:50 --> 00:49:53
			is how, when any disaster happens, we should
		
00:49:53 --> 00:49:56
			be looking at the positive side as well
		
00:49:56 --> 00:49:58
			and there are always positive and there are
		
00:49:58 --> 00:50:03
			always benefits inshallah, ok inshallah is there anyone
		
00:50:03 --> 00:50:04
			who would like to ask any question from
		
00:50:04 --> 00:50:05
			the floor?
		
00:50:22 --> 00:50:24
			yeah, the brother is saying that Allah has
		
00:50:24 --> 00:50:27
			addressed the argument of the atheists in Surah
		
00:50:27 --> 00:50:31
			Al-Ankabut according to my knowledge Allah addresses
		
00:50:31 --> 00:50:36
			the argument of those who associate partners with
		
00:50:36 --> 00:50:45
			Allah Allah says those who have taken
		
00:50:45 --> 00:50:49
			awliya and the friends besides Allah or gods
		
00:50:49 --> 00:50:54
			besides Allah Allah says they are like the
		
00:50:54 --> 00:50:57
			spider so he's not talking about the atheists
		
00:50:57 --> 00:51:01
			rather those who associate partners but as he
		
00:51:01 --> 00:51:06
			just explained those who apparently say they do
		
00:51:06 --> 00:51:08
			not believe in the existence of a god
		
00:51:08 --> 00:51:11
			or creator they actually believe in so many
		
00:51:11 --> 00:51:15
			creators when they say every single human being
		
00:51:15 --> 00:51:19
			came into existence by himself or herself basically
		
00:51:19 --> 00:51:22
			in other words they're saying that they created
		
00:51:22 --> 00:51:26
			themselves so according to them every human being
		
00:51:26 --> 00:51:29
			is the creator of himself or herself so
		
00:51:29 --> 00:51:33
			many partners so many creators then in this
		
00:51:33 --> 00:51:35
			way you can say yes that you know
		
00:51:35 --> 00:51:42
			Allah says in the Quran Arabic Arabic the
		
00:51:42 --> 00:51:44
			weakest of the house is the house of
		
00:51:44 --> 00:51:48
			the spider ok inshallah Arabic
