subhanho wa Taala says in the Quran, whatever we'll keep it here
will be somewhere where it will all be what will as these will

did it brothers and sisters, wherever you are around the world,
just akmola here for joining us and for taking part in this in
this global webinar. May Allah subhanho wa Taala reward both the
organizers and also the those of you who've who've signed up taking
their time out on this Saturday afternoon, evening night wherever
you are around the world. May Allah subhanaw taala make this a
means of elevating his Cunnamulla Ilaha illa Allah may Allah
subhanaw taala make this also a means of relieving some of the
difficulties that our Muslim brethren are experiencing around
the world every bit we can do in our comfort, especially I mean,
I'm assuming that if we're on this course right now, if we're on
this, if we're on this seminar, this webinar rather right now, you
haven't, you have access to internet that means you must have
you must be in some kind of situation of comfort and
definitely there will be people who are worse off than us. So we
ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to relieve them of their problems and
their issues. We Allah subhanaw taala to protect us from any form
of fitna or trials that we cannot bear. We Allah subhanho wa Taala
make this a blessing occasion, blessing occasion for all of us.
Allah subhanho wa Taala in the Quran, he has a surah which he
makes us read over and over again every Muslim whenever they are
making solids, or even in other situations when they want to gain
Baraka. When they want to gain Shiva, they recite Surah Fatiha
certain fatty Alhamdulillah your beloved Amin Rahman and Rahim
Maliki are within if we're just to look at these first few verses of
here of this Surah Al hamdu, Lillahi Rabbil Alameen all praises
to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds when we speak about the world, or
the worlds rather this is a plural of world of Adam, and Adam here
refers to all forms of worlds. And what this means here, this could
refer to the world of the Insan, the world of the human being the
world of the gym, the world of the flowers, the world of
inanimate objects, the world of the birds, the world of beasts,
this encompasses all of these worlds, the world of the angels,
the sublunary world, a super unary world, it includes all of that, it
can also include in terms of worlds it can also be categorized,
instead of a instead of into a category of different beings, it
can be categorized in terms of time, and thus we have the animal
Arwa, which is the domain or the realm in which we are in before we
come into this world. Then there's the item of dunya. And then
there's the item will Barossa, which follows this world which is
the Intermediate Realm between this world and the next world. And
then comes the next one which is then the standing on the Day of
Judgment, the reckoning the piano, and then after that comes the
world that follows that which is the world of paradise or Hellfire
May Allah subhanaw taala put us into intergender without any
reckoning. So ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada is all praise is to Allah Who
is the Lord of the Worlds he is the absolute Creator, He is the
absolute administrator, and totally in charge of all of these
different realms. So essentially when we look at it from a time
perspective, he's been in charge from even before we were born, and
he will be in charge even after we are born. And that's why Allah
subhanho wa Taala as related by Imam Muslim from Abdullah Muhammad
Ali Allah one relates to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said, you have to inlaw who is our gentle Salawa to Allah
subhanho wa Taala will roll up the heavens on the Day of Judgment. So
may or may not be any noon then he will cross them he will take hold
of them with his right familiar color
In a medical and non medical aim of jump Barun amo motor can be
ruined. Then he will announce once he's done that, once he's taken
all of this into his hand, he will say I am the sovereign, I am the
King, I am the absolute ruler. Where are the tyrants? Where are
the arrogant ones? Where are those that used to consider themselves
something over others and oppress others and consider themselves to
be superior to others? Or indulge Jabbar oh and I don't know take a
beer on then this will just be the heavens he will do that so that
people will still be on the heavy in on the earth. That is a
thumbnail that will allow for my yacht will Adina be shimmery, then
he with his left he will he will tie he will roll up you will roll
up the earth the different layers of the earth, the Maya cool and
and medical energy Barun. Amon will take up your own. And then he
will announce the same thing, which is that I am the sovereign,
where are the tyrants? Where are the claimants of of power? Where
are the claimants of arrogance where other claimants have
all sorts of worldly abilities who thought that they could do as they
wished in this world? For Subhana men at the to center what are the
top Allah subhanaw taala before He created the world, he explains in
the Quran that he created the heavens He created the world. He
then said to the heavens and the earth, the O and O Quran called
attain upon him. It says come together, whether you like it or
not come together willingly or unwillingly. They said, We will
come together willingly. What that according to some scientists, what
they've recognized with that is that if you study the nature of
the substance and the forces that make up the sublunary, well
meaning the the earth and you look at the nature of the heavens, you
will see that they are of opposing natures in the sense that it's
very difficult. It's it's quite an extraordinary
event that they've even been able to come together and stay
together. And that is that Allah subhanho wa Taala explains this
eternally in the Quran that come together. He said Allah subhanho
wa Taala addressed the heavens and earth and he said, Come together
whether you like it or not, and they said no, no, we'll come
together willingly. So they are servants they are in servitude of
Allah subhanho wa Taala and they come together willingly. Allah
subhanho wa Taala has control of the entire universe is such a not
this may be a repetition of things that we've heard before. But Allah
subhanaw taala says it says in the Quran, where that can fit in a
thicker than federal Momineen. That remained because reminders
are beneficial for the believers. And although we've heard many of
these things before, it always helps for us to understand and re
recognize, re acknowledge and remind ourselves of the power of
Allah subhanaw taala give you an example of that. There's Eunice
Ali. Salaam Eunice Ali Salam has gone away from his community and
Allah subhanho wa Taala wants to take him through some through some
difficulty through a test as he Allah subhanho wa Taala takes His
Messengers through many tests, Ibrahim Ali Salaam and others. So
Eunice it is salaam he goes away is on the banks of the river and
suddenly he is washed out and a whale comes and eats him up. Now,
just imagine for a moment that anything that goes into the
stomach of a whale or stomach of any living being I mean, if you
studied even basic biology, you will be able to understand that
there are forces that will take over as soon as the food goes down
the throat as soon as it goes down the gullet, the there are forces
within which take over there is the bile that is that is spread
over the food there is the there are the different processes that
take place in the intestines. And then how it squashes the how it
breaks it down and squashes it together and so on. I mean even a
basic understanding of biology we'll be able to give you an
understanding of that. Now imagine you know Sally is a full grown
human being is in the in this whale. And the whale has no
control over its insights. It's a natural process that none of us
have any control over. The only way the only thing you could do if
you've swallowed a swamp, if you've
taken something down and swallowed something that you don't want is
you have to try to immediately bring it up again by putting your
finger in your mouth or trying to you know, vomit it out. Other than
that once it's in there, then unless it's something which is
industry indestructible, like maybe you know some a piece of
metal or something which may harm our insights or it may come out if
it's in a safe passage. You know from you know when when a person
relieves themselves Other than that, I mean nobody has any
control over what goes on in our inside. However we use Ali salaam
he was the only to be put under this test. When he's in the
stomach. He calls out to Allah subhanho wa Taala Subhanak in new
countrymen of God in La ilaha illa and the Subhanak in
You continue to follow the mean there is no God except you La
ilaha illa, Anta Subhan Allah, you are free of all blemishes
glorified Are you you are pure of all defects and you are above any
kind of any kind of blemish that anybody could ever attribute
Subhanak in the consuming of Valley mean is an iOS of the
oppressors, I was of those who had done wrong, I should have followed
the different path. I should not have said what I said I should not
have, I should not have made the statement that I did make. And
Allah subhana wa Tada, who is the control center of all of these
things, and this is our belief about Allah subhanaw taala that I
also know Allah Jamar, which inshallah you are, and all of us
are a part of, is the belief of the majority of the belief of the
majority of the Muslims today, as opposed to certain other sectarian
groups and other sectarian groups that live before the opinion of
the majority of the opinion of the Elsinore Gemma, as Imam Ghazali
explains, is that of that we are occasional lists. And what that
means is that unlike certain philosophers, and unlike the
martyrs, the likes of the past, we believe that Allah subhanho wa
Taala when he when when he makes something when he creates
something, he gives it certain powers, but each time well we It
doesn't give them powers we'd rather say he associate certain
powers to them, which are released by Allah subhanaw taala or
permitted by Allah subhanaw taala. case by case basis, literally
speaking. So every time you want to take a morsel and you want to
chew it, Allah is permitting you to do that. Every time that you
move your finger, literally you you are permitted you are being
committed by ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada every time a knife has been used
to cut something it has been permitted to come by ALLAH SubhanA
wa Tada. We do not believe that Allah subhanaw taala put an
intrinsic ability within the knife or the fire, to be able to cut and
to burn as it pleases, and that Allah subhanho wa Taala now
doesn't have to take part in anything. It's not an automated
world. If Allah subhanho wa Taala wanted he could have, but he
doesn't need an automated well, we need an automated well the only
reason human beings need things automated in the morning. For
example, you know the coffeemaker is ready in the morning with your
coffee, right the washing machine does your does your things
according to a set time, the oven comes on, you're given time when
you come back home from work, your food is ready. The only reason we
need to do these things is because we are unable to multitask in that
way that we can't be working on site at our workplace and at the
same time be preparing food at home a cleaning, that all of these
things are just something for us. Now we must not think of Allah
Subhana Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah subhanaw taala has abilities are
way beyond our imagination. It's absolutely way beyond our
imagination. So the fact that Allah subhanaw taala is able to do
all of these things at once and give permission to every single
fire that burns in the world at any given time simultaneously, the
fires that are burning at any given time, or the knives that are
cutting, or anybody that's moving any leaf that is dropping Allah
subhanaw taala mentions that in the Quran himself about the Divan
tell you a story about that afterwards. But the main thing you
must understand is that the power of Allah subhanaw taala is so
mighty. And we must not underestimate his power. Those
philosophers who stepped down Allah subhanho wa Taala is not
passive, in the sense that he's put his he's created certain
necessary associations between things and the effects. And now
those things have to take place. Then some of them they say that
Allah subhanaw taala can intervene, stop it sometimes if
they wants to, like, for example, if you if you ask them about this
use is that I'm story how he went into the stomach of this large
fish or well, and it didn't have any effect on him. And then it
finally he came out of it totally unharmed. How is that possible?
How is that possible that a human being be taken in like that and
then come up the these philosophers,
they would say these philosophers, they would basically say that
some would say that although God has created this association, God
has created this association, he does have the ability to interrupt
it to intervene sometimes if he wants to. And yet there were
others who believe in God as being the original creator of
everything, but now he's no longer a creator. He's he's no longer in
charge of it. Now he can't even intervene. Now that's obviously
reading both of those opinions are really limiting Allah subhanho wa
Taala has power. We believe Allah subhanaw taala has power is so
great, and it's so mighty. And he it's so comprehensive and so
multifaceted that at the same time he is able to hear everything that
is going on in the world, literally. And some of the latest
callers even went as far as saying that Allah subhanho wa Taala can
even see sounds. So it's not that he has to hear sounds but he can
even see sounds
Right, he can even see sounds and SubhanAllah. You know, this might
be something of disbelief to any of us. But recently, there is a
there is a person who is colorblind, he is colorblind, he
can't really see colors property, you know, he can just see like two
colors or something like that just dark and light. He created this
gadget. He created this gadget, where he's got this processor
linked to a camera, which he carries everywhere for the last so
many years over his head. And any color that he sees that
transmitted that color is then translated, translated into a
sound that he hears. And he is able to recognize the sound
regardless of what color it is, right? He can put the camera to
somebody's face, he can recognize the color of your face, how it's
different from somebody else's. Essentially what we're doing here
is he is hearing, he is hearing colors, right? If he can hear
colors through this basic camera and microchip this processor,
Allah subhanaw taala has the ability according to some of the
later theologians that he can even see sounds and
his his hearing, his power is dominating. It's dominating. It's
thorough. So our belief is that Allah subhanaw taala. Absolutely,
he knows everything that we're doing. So we can't do anything
that he doesn't know. It's not that we do it. And then he finds
out everything that we do he, he knows from before, because he's
the one who gives us the power to actually do it when we do it. We
have our freewill. So we do something, right, we want to do
subhanaw taala gives us the ability to do it. If you want to
use that ability to do good, he gives us the ability to do it. If
you want to use that same ability with our feet and our hands to go
and do evil. Well, he'll say, Okay, I'll give you the ability to
use that as well. But we're going to reckon with you afterwards. If
you use this God given ability that is at your disposal, which
we've said we will give you whenever you want to do something,
then we're going to reckon with you accordingly as well. We're
going to reckon with you accordingly in the sense that if
you do good with it, great. If you don't do good with it, you're
going to be taken to task. Allah subhanho wa Taala
his ability is so great as Allah, as he himself says in the Quran,
we're in the home of Article of Faith for him, he has he possesses
the keys of all of the unseen so nobody else can even get into the
can even enter into the unseen world because the keys are all
with ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. So everything unseen is with Allah
subhana wa Tala layer and then we'll have Allah who nobody knows
it, but he does we are no more mirfield Bernie well, he knows
what is on the on the earth and what is in the in the sea, what
matters to me and what rocketing
he also knows there is not it actually says in the Quran here.
When I dispute we work with Eli namaha, not a leaf drops, except
that he knows that as well. Well, I have button for your automatic
rd. And likewise even a seed in the dark depths of the of the
earth. He even knows that. So every seed at this point in time,
you can imagine acres and acres of cornfields acres and acres of all
the vegetation and all the crops that are growing around the UK,
the US around the world in Africa and other places. Allah subhanaw
taala is aware of every single hub, every single,
every single seed exactly what's going to come of it when it's
going to germinate, what it's going to produce, he knows
everything exactly as it is. What are what's been what is missing
enough he could have been moving there is neither anything else dry
or moist that Allah Socrata is not in the books of Allah subhanaw
taala everything is recorded. That is the power of Allah subhanho wa
Taala when I actually wound up becoming with Claudia Hora when I
asked her what Yeah, so what Arabica mean with cod is a rotten
fill out of the water this summer, he was all I mean, Zydeco Allah
Akbar enough he Kitabi Mubin, that there is nothing that will be
hidden, and that will miss your Lord. Whether it's the size of an
atom, even the something the size of an atom cannot be missed by
Allah subhanaw taala whether it's in the heavens or the earth,
whether it's even smaller than that, if you can fathom things in
science is all always discovered the always dividing and
subdividing the atoms and the protons and so on and so forth. So
Allah subhanaw taala has all of that covered. He says that, even
if it's the size of a mustard seed, even if it's the size of an
atom, one or Assam, indolic Even if it's smaller than that, you can
go because obviously, if he had mentioned something smaller, that
would that that the knowledge of that wasn't available at that
time. So Allah subhanaw taala comprehensively mentioned that you
can go on dividing and you can continue to divide things and
Allah subhanaw taala knows those things.
beyond that level, whether it's going to be learning whether a
kebab, where you can magnify things. So Allah subhanaw taala
says, And he knows even things greater than that the things that
are so great that you could never understand that you could never
fathom, for example, the space, there is an exploration right now
of this of the universe and trying to understand where we are,
because we are such small beings in the realm of this great
universe. I mean, to give you a simple example, if you think of a
bacteria on somebody's tooth,
right, you think of a bacteria on just one tooth of a person. Right?
If that bacteria decided that he wanted to see how this, the
university he lived in, and the university he lives in, I mean,
the proportion, right, of the of this, of this bacteria compared to
this tooth, is probably the proportion of you know, us in this
milky way, in this galaxy, I mean, that's probably the proportion,
but for just like we would have to go away in a satellite into space,
and be able to then take an aerial view of something, this bacteria
would have to dislodge itself and come back and go to such a
distance, that you'll be able to see the tooth that it's on, and
then beyond the tooth to see the mouth that that tooth is in, and
then to see the face that that that mouth is on and so on and so
forth. Now you can imagine that we there are things that are so
beyond us so great. And then yet so minute as well. In both of
these things, Allah subhanaw taala has all of them covered in love,
you could be moving except that it's all in a clear book, which
should be laid open clearly in the Hereafter. May Allah subhanho wa
Taala give us the Tofig to understand his greatness. May
Allah subhanho wa Taala give us the understand to be under a give
us understanding and give us the ability to think of him and to
treat him and to worship him the way he is. Oh my god Allah haka.
Kadri. As Allah subhanho wa Taala says, We're not further Allah,
they have not valued, they have not really regarded Allah subhanaw
taala as much as is his right to be regarded to be considered to be
considering every aspect. What are the Jimmy unchopped to Jamelia,
whereas the whole earth will be under his command on the day of
judgment and SubhanAllah. If you look at what ALLAH SubhanA wa
Taala
the power that he has, that he changes the X, he changes the
customary ways of things in this world to prove his power at
certain times. For example, Allah the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam has a hadith related by Imam Muslim in his saheeli where
the prophets of Allah Islam said, in the law, for hedger on fee
Makkah, Ghana, you're suddenly more under your cobbler and Oberth
that I know. And I can still recognize if I go there, I could
still recognize that stone in Makkah that used to make Salam on
me that used to say salam to me before I was even a prophet.
Before I was sent as a prophet and chosen and designated as a
prophet. I know that stone used to make salam to me all the time.
Imagine that a stone I mean, subhanAllah you know, nowadays, a
stone could talk but you have to put a chip in there. Right? You
know, you'd have to put a chip in there and have to be, you know,
something with a chip inside something with a speaker inside
and something that's programmed to do that, but Allah subhanho wa
Taala is able to make a northstone Speak now he doesn't do this all
the time. Because this is not a world of customary miracles. This
is not a world of magic. Can you imagine if everything just
happened by magic here? What if everything happened in this
haphazard way where you know, you could call on to the unseen and
let things happen in a way that you know when against against the
norm of things? Because really, essentially, what is magic? What
is a miracle? A miracle or Magic is something that goes against
what you're normally used to. You're normally not used to this
moon being split okay, it's being split you're not used to a star
for a stick becoming a snake. Okay, here you go. Don't start
from Busan it's not becomes a stick you're not used to use Ali
salaam or a man being in a in a way in a whale and then being able
to come out of it right and escape from it totally unharmed you're
not used to it because the normal customer customary exercise would
or process would have been that he read digested in that now on the
villa but ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada goes against these things
sometimes as a miracle. That's exactly what is to prove a point
to show sometimes that look things can be different. Or what are the
Allahu Anhu is in the masjid in Medina, he's got the Sahaba around
him Almighty Allah Han is under member and suddenly he's suddenly
in the middle of his hotbar you start to say yes, early algebra,
yes. Earlier algebra. That all Saudia meaning referring to a
Sahaba whose name was Surya, the mountain, the mountain and people
can you imagine what people must have thought that is in the middle
of a hot one. Suddenly you start saying Oh, Sadia. Oh sorry. We're
sorry. I wasn't even around Surya was in Persia. He was in one of
the Jihads in Persia and people many
People probably knew that they just wondering what is going on
the alojado saying, some people mark that day when this this thing
had taken place. When this army came back from Persia, Saudi out
of the Allahu Han was in there as well. And he explained that we
were there, and there was a vulnerable point from which our
enemies would have attacked us and Ramallah the Allahu Anhu Ramallah
the Allahu anhu, who I suddenly heard or Omar, the Allah one whose
voice telling us to be careful of the mountain. So we quickly turn
around and we were able to protect ourselves, otherwise we would have
been destroyed. Now remember, there were there were situations
when the Muslims were defeated when the Muslims were attacked. In
a similar situation. If you look in the Battle of Earth, the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and left 5050 Archers there
50 People or 50 soldiers there to Sahaba and told them not to move.
And when they fought that it had all been one day they moved away.
Now, in that case, no miracle took place yet Allah subhanaw taala did
cause the Muslims to compose themselves again in that
situation. But in this battle, Allah subhanho wa Taala decided to
do something extraordinary, just so that you don't rely on that you
don't rely on that Allah subhanho wa Taala wants you to rely on him.
That's why he says come in fit him on either team, or whatever. But
we didn't get here at nila, there are so many a small group that
will dominate and win and have success
that will have success over larger groups. And that's why you notice
that when you have 313, in the Battle of Buddha, you they went
and they took over a group of 1000 that were well equipped, right
button or had similar, you've got the situation. Now the conquest of
Makkah takes place and all of these other people become Muslim
that had just been waiting literally in 1000s People became
Muslim after the conquest of Makkah. So now what you had is you
had this, one of the largest armies that Muslims had ever
gotten together, you had them going towards her name south of
Madina, Munawwara south of Makkah, to go and take, go and deal with,
with the horrors in there. Now, people thought there were many
numerous things as well, people thought that this was one was
going to be a walkover because until now, despite being very
small in number, they were able to overcome greater enemies. And now
you have this great huge army going down. And it was just going
to be a walkover, Allah subhanho wa Taala showed them that that's
not what works. It's the coder of Allah subhanaw taala that he can
do things that he wants, as long as you have your Tawakkol and your
reliance in your reliance in Allah subhanaw taala. So he showed them
because initially they came under a shower of arrows, they came
under a shower of arrows, where they were, they were trapped in a
valley and the people of Hawaii were very good archers and they
were totally scattered. It came to such a situation as is related,
that the purpose of the lesson was literally left in the middle on
his mount with a few Sahaba around him, they were because everybody
has scattered in course such a disrupted everything in made such
a turbulence among the among the Muslim forces, that it was able
Sofia and Amber, Sunny Allah and they remain with him. And finally
the army came together again and then they were able to overcome
that area. But Allah subhanaw taala mentions in his Quran as
well as Jabba tomb cathro, to whom further domini and whom che, that
you're the large number made them conceited. Their large numbers
made them very excited and happy that oh, they started to trust
their numbers. And that's why it was to have no avail to them, that
they those numbers could not do anything for them. That's why from
these things, we can understand that Allah subhanaw taala does not
do things by magic in this world. Except certain times it seems like
that normally there's always an explanation, because Allah
subhanaw taala is power is over all things. Allah subhanaw taala
has power is over all things. Our reliance must be on Allah subhanho
wa Taala that our power must be on him. I'll give you an example.
There's a story that's submitted by Luca Thea and other Moogfest
city as well, that initially there was a man who,
who was lying down somewhere and he saw a scorpion. Actually, this
is another version of this story is related by Immanuel Immanuel
Kodama al makdisi, in his guitar with the worry, he says that he's
suddenly this man, he suddenly saw this Scorpion, which is really
going fast. So he decides to follow it because it seems like
the scorpion seems to know where it's going. Normally, you see a
scorpion is scuttling around here, and they're aimlessly, you know,
just going from one place to the other hiding somewhere maybe
coming out. This didn't look like that. This seemed like the
scorpion was going in a particular direction. It seemed to have a
mission in mind, and it seems to have you know, it seems to be
taking steps with great conviction. So he decided to
follow he saw that as it was going, going going and this person
is following it. Suddenly he saw a sees in the in the distance this
young youth
Right, who is known to be a drunkard of the community, he is
known to be a drunkard of the community. He's lying there. So
this person thought that the scorpion is going to go and attack
it. But you're still quite extraordinary. Why would a
scorpion go so far? No, because this from from where we had
started, the scorpion, or this person could not see this drunkard
sleeping in that direction in the middle of the forest. So the
scorpion goes, is going in a direction, obviously, it's been
directed by something, it's been directed by something. So they go.
And finally, what they notice is that it goes there and there's a
snake that's about to attack this young guy, this drunkard, the
scorpion heads towards a snake and bites that snake and the snake
falls to the side. So this guy, this, this person who had been
following the snake, the scorpion, he goes and quickly wakes that
drunkard up, right and, and says, look at this, look what's happened
next, he sees the destinate next to and he sees the scorpion
retreating and the drunken person is just out of his mind. You just
can't understand. And then this person gives him some nasiha he
says, Look, Allah subhanaw taala is has protected you from such a
distance. Allah subhanaw taala wills well with you was good with
you that you could have died by being bitten by the snake having
slept in this area. But look what Allah subhanaw taala has done for
you. This from that day that young man he made Toba he made doba to
Allah subhana wa used to say that if ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala can even
protect a drunkard and a wasted individual like me who doesn't
care about his life, because this guy just used to get drunk he was
always in a state of depression. And he used to just just just be
totally knocked out wherever he was, if Allah subhanaw taala could
care for me that he can do great things with this really improved
his understanding of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. It improved his
understanding and the greatness of Allah subhanho wa Taala And
subhanAllah he changed from that day and he became a much better
individual. That is the power of Allah subhanho wa taala. Allah
subhanaw taala does many things I don't think I'm sure if we've
thought of these kinds of things in our life as well. You will
realize that Allah subhanaw taala has done many things for us
sometimes we can explain, we can explain those things and sometimes
we can't explain those things. Right now. In the Quran, Allah
subhanaw taala also says and this is what you see on your screen
there B and it is the power of the Almighty, which is Allah subhanaw
taala as he says in the Quran, Surah trc in Umrah who either are
the shaman in your corner who can fire code that ALLAH SubhanA wa
Taala when he has to when he wishes wishes, when he wills to do
something, right when he wills to do now when we use the word will
for Allah subhanho wa Taala it's a definite will. When we say we wish
something we don't know whether it's going to happen or not, we
wouldn't want it to happen. And that's why we wish it but with
Allah subhanho wa Taala whenever our other shaitan, which means
whenever he will something it happens, and then to show how fast
and how quickly and how powerful Allah subhanaw taala is and how
fast he can do something, it says all he has to say is good. Fire
cool. Fire cool means and then that thing is he just has to say B
and it is now the owner might have looked at this verse. And some
have taken it literally by saying that whenever Allah subhanaw taala
wants to create something, he just says good. And the thing is
created, however other other might have gone beyond that and said,
Allah subhanaw taala is not even in need of saying the word goon.
He doesn't have to say that this is just to give us an
understanding that Allah subhanaw taala can do this. It's an
expression he's using, like we say, Oh, don't worry, it's just a
click of a finger, I can click my finger and this will take place,
right? I can just look at him and he will melt. You know that kind
of a thing. Right? So Allah subhanho wa Taala doesn't even
need him. He doesn't even have to utter it. It's just an indication
or a metaphor of how fast he can do something that it's as fast as
that. In fact, it's even faster than that. Right? Because imagine
if Allah subhanaw taala can have the throne of slaves of the Queen
of Sheba, given to slavery at his Salon at the blink of an eye.
Right? And the blink of an eye may be faster than than saying good
than it seems like these people have a point because Solomon is
the number one tip the throne of the Queen of Sheba, to be brought
to him before she came. And what he noticed what were he asked who
can bring it to me before before she comes to me on land. So one
person said one gin, a ferry terminal gin said, I'll bring it
to you before you can stand up from your place, which is quite
quick, probably a few seconds. Another one, another human being
who had the knowledge of the Name of Allah subhanaw taala. He says,
I can bring it to you faster than that. I can bring it to you at the
blink of an eye. And there it was standing in front of him. If that
is the case there. Why does Allah subhanaw taala even need to say
good. However, the third group of aroma they say look, this is part
of the muta shall be part of the Quran is one of the
ambiguous aspects of the Quran where we can't really understand
exactly. We're not going to insist on it. But Allah subhanaw taala
has mentioned in it mentioned it, that that's what that's what he
has to do. So we believe in it the way Allah subhanaw taala wants us
to believe in it, and that is probably the best opinion to
follow. Having said that, the main thing is that we must recognize
the power of Allah subhanho wa taala. And the power of Allah
subhanho wa Taala can be attracted to us the Allah. So it says, in a
hadith that sadaqa calms the anger of the Lord. So that calms the
anger of the Lord, and it also repels an evil death. I'm sure
this is something we all want to do. We've all done wrongs.
Whenever we've done wrong, Allah subhanaw taala could be angry with
us. And that's why hustle and bustle he says in his in his
collection of
prayers for forgiveness. He says, Oh Allah, I seek forgiveness from
you for every sin that has prevented good things happening to
me, that has prevented my sustenance being increased, that
has caused my sustenance to be decreased, that has caused
problems to occur in my life that has caused all of these issues to
come up in front of me that has taken away the baraka from me. So
if we want Baraka in Allah subhanho wa taala, one of the most
powerful ways is to give sadaqa That's why it says that the during
the prophets of Allah, it was Adams time, the one thing that the
monarchy team could not do, they could come to the prayer, they
will come a bit lazy, they would come at the back that just attend
just to show that they're there. They wouldn't miss it completely.
Because if you missed a prayer in the masjid and tell us what allah
sallallahu wasallam you were a monastic, I mean, it was quite
clear because all the believers prayed in that time, at that time
in the masjid. However, the one thing that they found very
difficult to do is to give sadaqa that's why sometimes what they
would do is they would come to the province and Allahu alayhi wa
sallam asked for a personal consultation with him, and then he
would come and say these weird things. So in order to take that
away and to stop that from happening in the province of Allah
Allah, Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran for Carpe Diem obey
near the end network, consider that now when you come to talk
intimately to Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam give
some sadaqa before now obviously, because there were so tight about
giving their money away. They were unable to do that that stopped
many of them from coming and irritating Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam. Having said that sadaqa in the path of Allah
subhana wa Tada is increased greatly. It shows that we have our
Quran Allah subhanaw taala, the more Tawakkol and reliance you
have in Allah subhanaw taala, the more sadaqa you will give, think
about it, why would you not want to give 2000 pounds today? The
reason is that you think you need to save up you think you don't
need that's all you've got, if you've got that much. I mean, if
you've got that much, or however much you have to say you have 200
pounds $200 Can you give that $200 away, you think no, it's something
I saved up, I need to buy a house, I need to buy a car to buy this, I
need to buy that I need to leave it for my children, whatever the
story is, I'm gonna hold life in front of me. The reason why we
can't give it is because our level of Tawakkol is not that great if
Abu Bakr Siddiq or Leon could give everything in the path of Allah
subhanaw taala. And when asked what you left for your family, he
said Allah and His Messenger, that is the worker, seriously, that is
the worker, when can we get to that level? Right? If we can't get
to that level, we should be able to get to some level. Right? We're
not asking you to give all your money. I would finish this program
this session by recommending and requesting all of us to be able to
donate something for this cause these group of sisters in Omaha
Synod, masha Allah, may Allah reward them, they're doing this
great work. I mean, it's really great in this day and age, you
know, to see this as an example, many sisters they wonder what they
can do for Islam. This is a great way we look at this, this is all
being done by sisters, right? That they're setting this whole whole
thing up online, they don't have to expose themselves, they can
keep their modesty and at the same time they can do this great work.
This is a good example of what sisters can do. This is just one
example. You ask Allah subhanaw taala for Tofik of what you can
do, and Allah subhanaw taala will bring about something for you may
Allah reward all of these people, the brothers as well, whoever is
involved in this project and one of the scholars, our Sheikh Sharif
Abdul Rahim, Allah Himself and Mon Hussain Kali as well who is going
to be speaking after me. May Allah subhanaw taala reward them all for
taking his time out on the Saturday, right, I am speaking to
you. I've got another program to attend for in Cambridge. So we
managed to find a room to be able to do this program 100 Allah
subhanaw taala facilitate for us, I ask all of you to make dua for
me as well, my family and for all of those on this side that have
made this made this useful as well. May Allah subhanaw taala
grant you a great Jezza in I encourage you again to do as much
as possible for this mother as a project that they have in Albania.
As far as I understand, I'll be explaining more later on. Take the
stage for the rest of the course and and really, really give give
give your most so that we can show our reliance to Allah subhanho wa
Taala and Allah subhanaw taala may He forgive us May He protect us
from all forms of fitna and problems
And may Allah subhanaw taala at least if he sees that we're doing
something for other people in the world, you will protect us from
going down the same way. We must never feel I guarantee that we
have at best, it's just Allah subhanaw taala takes poverty and
he takes poverty to different places at different times. He
enriches different people at different times. Currently, it's
you know, we're doing quite well in the West. May Allah subhanaw
taala preserve us while should be Darwin and the hamdulillahi rabbil
