The reason people are so far from Allah subhanaw taala, even though

00:00:03 --> 00:00:07

they say they're believers, is because they've not taken the time

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

out to understand who Allah is.

00:00:10 --> 00:00:14

I don't think there's enough books out there or enough lectures out

00:00:14 --> 00:00:17

there about the names of Allah as well the names of Allah are so

00:00:17 --> 00:00:21

important that they actually have to become part of our life.

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

Because that's who Allah is. If you don't know that Allah subhanaw

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

taala knows everything

00:00:28 --> 00:00:31

that Allah subhanaw taala is the wise one, that Allah subhanaw

00:00:31 --> 00:00:34

taala doesn't oppress even in the least like he can't even make a

00:00:34 --> 00:00:39

mistake. He can't even mistake Leopold someone like, okay, he's

00:00:39 --> 00:00:42

got, you know, sometimes they say that, Oh, the person has some very

00:00:42 --> 00:00:46

good intentions, but he made a mistake. Right? It was a genuine

00:00:46 --> 00:00:50

mistake. Allah does not make mistakes. He knows what's going on

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53

now. And he knows what's going to happen. 100 years afterwards like

00:00:53 --> 00:00:57

forget, two years afterwards, oh, forget just after the event, or

00:00:57 --> 00:01:01

just, you know, next year or whatever. He knows what your great

00:01:01 --> 00:01:05

great, great great grandfather grandchild will be doing right

00:01:05 --> 00:01:09

now. He knows what the last person will be doing. Allah does not make

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

mistakes, everything is planned. And he knew everything from

00:01:11 --> 00:01:15

beforehand. Now, if you don't know that, that is such a powerful

00:01:15 --> 00:01:18

knowledge, bit of knowledge that can affect the way you think about

00:01:18 --> 00:01:22

Allah subhanaw taala. So I think one of the most fundamental

00:01:22 --> 00:01:25

problems that is that people do not know who Allah is, even though

00:01:25 --> 00:01:28

we say we believe in Allah, we pray to Him and everything. But if

00:01:28 --> 00:01:31

you don't know that Allah subhanaw taala is omniscient that he knows

00:01:31 --> 00:01:36

everything in detail in minut detail, right? Number two, he's in

00:01:36 --> 00:01:41

control of everything. Number of all the factors. He's planned

00:01:41 --> 00:01:45

everything. There's a reason behind everything. Okay? Allah

00:01:45 --> 00:01:49

subhanaw taala loves believers. Right? Numerous verses in the

00:01:49 --> 00:01:53

Quran about Allah subhanaw taala as loves for the believer, Allah

00:01:53 --> 00:01:56

subhanaw taala loving the believers, Allah taking care of

00:01:56 --> 00:02:00

them, while Allahu Allah you will mean Allah, Who will you let in

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04

numerous, numerous ways that he takes care of you. If you don't

00:02:04 --> 00:02:07

know that you won't call unto him because what shaytaan will make

00:02:07 --> 00:02:12

you do is to look elsewhere is to say, No, God hates you. Right? How

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

do you know God hates you? Yes, if you've been committing a lot of

00:02:14 --> 00:02:17

sin, maybe maybe he's going to punish you. Yes, that's

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19

understandable. That doesn't mean it's not open. Allah subhanaw

00:02:19 --> 00:02:23

taala is the forgiving one, numerous verses numerous. In fact

00:02:23 --> 00:02:27

numerous names as far as often as I finish them. Kabhi Tobin Allah

00:02:27 --> 00:02:30

00:02:31 --> 00:02:34

right. There are so many words and so many names so many

00:02:34 --> 00:02:37

characteristic he uses to explain so really taken

00:02:38 --> 00:02:42

study the Quran because the Quran includes the names of Allah

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45

subhanaw taala names have to become part of our life. We need

00:02:45 --> 00:02:48

to call out Allah subhanaw taala with his names,

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51

right according to the need of the time, we're looking for

00:02:51 --> 00:02:55
