de Shamcey thoroughly lie in a in a mean border then sorry, rotten
water kill Luther Furman mme.
All of this
after he is specifically mentioned a few points about the Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam and
his qualities and so on the rest of the sick, the rest of the these
couplets here, they're just about trying to speak of the praise of
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam in a very general way. So he's going to
give a lot of
metaphor he's trying to show His weakness is trying to show his
weakness from trying to
understand Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam and to get to the limits of
his praise.
So that's what this is all about. So he says, to his essence, assign
whatever you will of honor and to his stature, assign whatever
greatness you will. So whatever greatness whatever, high status,
you can come to your mind, assign that to him, but he already told
us the limits of he said that Medina to nasaga fina be him,
Wacom be Murshida Madhavi he was the key me, set aside the claim
the Christians made for their prophets, then compose whatever
praise of him you wish and do so well. And then he tells us how to
do it. So he says, to his essence, assign whatever you will have his
honor, to his status to his stature, assign what greatness you
will, for in the formula Rasulullah he lays Allah who had
done for you already, but and who now it can be for me, for the
merits of God's Messenger knows no bounds that might be voiced by the
mouths of men. And then he says, Lo NASA but kodra who is to who
are Islam and he has smooth hanging a Yoda This remind me if
his miracle stood in proportion to his greatness, the very mention of
his name would revive Dry Bones. Let me I'm dying Bhima Tatiana
rakudo Be he Harrelson. Elena falam Northup What am the Hemi he
did not try us he did not try us or test us or challenge us with
things that baffled the mind. Such was his concern for us. So we
neither doubted nor straight, aren't yell whare for Marina who
Felisa Euro Phil Kirby will be the fee Hey, you, Roman Fahey, me,
understanding his meaning exhausts the human mind, near and far,
always seem to be dumbstruck. Because some set of hollowly lie
in a in a mean burden. So he rotten, what I can look toward him
in me, he is like the sun to the AI at a distance, it seems small,
but when near it dazzles the site. So he's pulling these examples
from, from everywhere, from history, from the cosmos, from the
system of the universe, and he's bringing all of that just to show
the greatness of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So
after he said in the poem, which we read last week, which is point
number 43, that just don't do what the Nosara did. That's your limit.
Other than that, just praise Him as you wish. So he says to his
essence, assign whatever you will of honor and to his stature,
assign what greatness you will.
Because the merits of Allah's Messenger knows no bounds that
might be voiced by the mouths of men. So understand that this is
what's going to happen. So he says,
think of all the perfections that you can think of all the
accomplishments perfections Come on, that you could pray somebody
by
and anything that would say
dignify anybody's greatness and high position. So think of
anything of that nature you want and then
take as much of that as possible and apply it to law school allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
take all the good characteristics or praiseworthy characteristics
you can think about in anybody, and apply that to Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
according to his status, so don't just take the best of what you see
in others take that magnify that as many times as you want, and
then attributed to Rasulullah sallallahu sallam. Because one is
that you see some body that you know, you might know somebody that
you know, you have a neighbor or relative or a friend or a family
member or something, he's got very good o'clock or got a particular
quality that you see time and time again, it expresses itself. And it
always dazzles you take that quality, don't apply that to Rasul
Allah, multiply it as many times as you want, and apply that to
Rasulullah sallallahu.
Because that's what he had. And that's where he showed time and
time again.
So do it according to his status, don't do it according to the
status of the person you're seeing it with.
Because he says for khulumani, sub to either 30 He mineral mahasin,
anything, any excellence that you attribute to his that
What did he mean, I'll come early will allow them for a no and only
that IQ, and any other perfection or greatness that you want to
attribute
that you've seen in anything else, he is definitely going to be
worthy of that. And that will definitely be his embodiment. Then
after that, once you've done all of that, and then observe, and you
will see
that the greatness of Rasulullah sallallahu, alayhi wasallam, you
will still have not been able to get to the ends of his place.
But remember, he's not making him like Allah, Allah is Allah. But
it's to say that any human perfection and accomplishment that
you have seen and thought about, apply that to rasool Allah, you'll
see that he's even beyond that.
Now you might think, Well, if we apply all human excellences to
him, then beyond that is God. You know, if he's beyond that, then
beyond that, is God no. Because do we even have the ability to
understand and comprehend all human excellences we miss out so
many things. We haven't seen so many things. We don't know of
everything that goes on in the world and all a good there is in
the world. We know of what we've observed and what we've seen. So
he's obviously going to be beyond that because we're, he's talking
to each human being here.
This is a poem, it's to make us think, think in your life, what
you've seen of greatness and virtue and excellence, attribute,
something beyond that sort of will allah sallallahu Sallam that
doesn't take you to Allah, Allah is beyond and beyond even that,
you can't even compare Allah that's, that's a different level
totally.
So what you will notice, he says, is that what Allah subhanaw taala
has designated for our messenger SallAllahu Simon chosen him
specifically chosen for him specifically, of the noble
essence, high status, there is no limit to it that you can get to,
there is no limit to it that you can get to. And there's no tongue
that can sing sufficient praise of him and get to that limit, and be
able to articulate that because all the eloquent individuals and
even though they have exaggerated in their poems, in their writing
in all of these eloquent writers and poets and so on, that
appraises all allah sallallahu sallam.
And they may have exaggerated because poetry is to do with some
exaggeration.
And they've tried to
they've tried to mention his attributes. All that they have
really reached is just like a.in An ocean a drop of the ocean.
That's why ignore jusy Abul Qasim ignored us a great Moroccan

What a duben will hope and what varman
The Urfa journey be what Aruba Sukkot in Karna fie Bala Houghton
Waru Buka
The admin fee he uttered only RTB. So what he's saying here is that I
intended, my intention was to try to praise the chosen one, Mustafa.
But what stopped me was my insufficiency from comprehending
those virtues and Excellences, when I realized that I couldn't
even comprehend them, so how could I praise him?
Who, for me, can fathom the oceans when the ocean is so vast? Who is
it that can encompass the ocean for me, when the ocean is so vast,
who is there for me to count all of the pebbles, who's there that
can count these billions of pebbles and the stars who can do
that, for me, this is what you call poetry. Right? So he's
saying, Who can count the pebbles that are available on the earth,
and the stars in the skies for me. And he then said that if every
limb of mine became a tongue, if every limb of mine became a
tongue, even then I would not be able to reach even some of his
praise. So no, some of what I intend to do, some of what I
intend to do. It's beyond, it's beyond me is trying to say,
then he said, if the entire universe got together, to try to
compile His praise, they would not even reach some of what is
necessary. And then he says, So then
I think they should be for unset to Unha, hey, button water, a
duben.
That would make more sense which would read so then I withheld
myself from doing so out of all, reverence, an adverb
out of other, and also out of fear.
And
out of considering this very high status to be so majestic, that I
feel so small, how can I do it? So I'd rather not then to do a sloppy
job than to do an incomplete so I recognize that this is not my
bowl, this is not my game. And then he says afterwards, at the
end, he says, and sometimes silence can be more efficient and
effective.
Silence has more blah, blah, means to say something that is
effective, eloquent. So he's saying that sometimes silence is
what eloquent and sometimes saying something, some forms of speech,
some forms of comments, some forms of speech, you will be told off
so that he's saying something, obviously. But he's saying as
though I'm not saying anything, so he's explaining that I can't do
it. Eternal Fire that was asked. I think he was actually asked why
did you not praise the process that allows them in some kind of,
you know, some kind of prose or writing or poetry or something
like that?
He said, Allah Kula made him finna be more concern. We're in
Burleigh, well, ethna Allah he will act thorough. If Allahu ethna
ability who Allahu alayhi PhRMA Mecca dar uma atom Dahu al whare.
He says, I see that every praise about the Prophet sallallahu
sallam, I seem to have shortcomings.
Even if they try to exaggerate, and they do it abundant me, I
still think it's going to be less. Because only Allah subhanaw taala
has praised him for his worth, according to his worth. So if
Allah is the only one who can do that, what prays? Can anybody
aside from Allah subhanho wa taala, provide for him.
And in that is a praise itself anyway.
So that's what that's what this poem is. That's what these two
lines are saying to His essence, assign whatever you will of honor
to his stature, assign what greatness you will, for the merits
of Allah's Messenger know, no bounds that might be voiced by the
mouths of mouths of men.
Because we can only perceive so much. We only know the good things
that have happened to us. And day by day, we learn something new, we
get a new job, we go and visit somebody new, we do a travel. And
suddenly, we see good qualities that we've never known before. We
see we have new experiences. So if all of these things were put
together
one single human being can only have so much. And then there's
even levels beyond that. So that's that's what he's saying. Then he
says that.
Now this is one way of him to try to show how great this is.
So you he uses a very strange example.
He invokes the miracles of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam and
he says, Lo Nasser but kodra who is to who Everman or
Here is Mahina Yoda either is a remind me. So not only is he
praising the person awesome in that he's actually showing him
he's actually alluding to something so think.
Look what he says he says,
If His miracles stood in proportion to his greatness, which
means if his miracles were as much as his status and his greatness,
the very mention of his name would revive Dry Bones. What is he
alluding to?
Think about that.
If his miracles were made to be the same as his status, then just
mentioning his name would have so much Baraka that. But that's not
what Allah wanted, is it? So that's not what's happening.
That's not the reality. Meaning that's not what we see. But that
is the reality that that's his status.
Now, this is, you know, this seems like a high exaggeration. But we
have to understand what he means there, too, because remember,
poets take poetic license, and they say these things, so you have
to understand what he's saying here. So what the author is saying
what the point is saying here is that the promise of license status
is very high, according to Allah.
Right? That's what that's what it is. And his his
honor, is extremely high. Now, if the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam
is more Jesus, and His miracles that we know, and all the
extraordinary things that happened, and his hand if they
were on par,
if more were given to him
to match his real status, then
it would have been so powerful, that had his names being mentioned
on dry bones, Allah would have made them alive, because it's a
miracle. Now, don't think that this is out of the world, because
this is what Eastside Islam used to do.
So that was one of the miracles of Esau, they said
that he would form a bird or something, or sometimes it was
actually
in a place as one of the things we spoke about last time as well,
that he was given the ability to revive the dead. He didn't do this
every day necessarily, but it occurred on a few occasions. So
so his status would have been even higher than a solid Salam, because
Eastside Islam had to go there to the grave or to the people and
then say, Okay, stand by the will of Allah and they would stand. But
if the prophets of Allah was given that same marches, for example,
then his name would have sufficed, his name would have sufficed to do
that without even him having to have gone there. And you might
think, well, how can his name suffice? What Doesn't our name
suffice? Sometimes, for example, you want a job somewhere, or you
want something from someone and you say, So and so sent me and He
gave me a recommendation out of respect for that guy will do it.
Right? So it's that kind of a thing. Because Allah subhanaw
taala loves him to that level that that that's what would have
happened but that's not what Allah wanted. That the way Allah wanted
it to be in the world is different. So although ALLAH
SubhanA wa Tada gave Eastside Islam a very special status of
being able to revive the dead, for example, that doesn't mean that it
makes him better than Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, because you can
have individuals can have specific qualities that the better person
doesn't have. But overall, that person has more qualities than
that, or the individual. So for example, let's just say that
I needed the Allahu annalistic or semana de Allahu Anhu. He had a
special quality of modesty, probably more than Abu Bakr and
Omar or the Allah one, but nobody says that he's greater no Bakr and
Omar in general with the Allahu Anhu. So it's absolutely possible
that certain prophets had one specific quality or two or three
or many that were very good and great in their own right. But
overall, the prophets of Allah Islam had the greatest. So the
what the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was given, just to get
an idea is for example,
there was a pillar in the masjid that the professor was amused to
hold on to doing hotbar because there was no member.
Now imagine this full Joomla salad, you can imagine all the
Sahaba being there, how many Sahaba there must have been, the
professor was amused to hold on to this pillar and give the hotbar
used to that was his kind of support. Then somebody suggested
this woman she suggested that I've got a slave who can make, you know
as carpenter, he knows how to make a member for us. He made a member
so the process was and then shifted away from there from that
pillar, and he went and he stood on the member instead on the
pulpit. And imagine this, you're in Juma? You're listening to the
HUD team and suddenly the pillar starts crying.
Now this is not one person's story that happened in private. This is
in Juba
that pillar starts crying, it starts whimpering. So the poster
was on walked over and calmed it down.
So honey has given its that's what we're speaking about here that was
a open, you know, open miracle. Then the other one is obviously
the water that comes out of his finger when he put it into the
bowl and everybody was able to in we just read a hadith in
Bukhari just
yesterday.
I will call her
invited the professor lorrison. We had small amount of dough that he
made bread with his wife made bread with
and was gonna go to Rasulullah sallallahu sallam. So when he went
to tell us what was going on, let's go told the whole 7080
people
and you get to the house, Abdullah says to his wife, the prophecy
lessons here
so you know what his wife says? She says, Allah who are pseudo
she's like, she didn't say oh, no, we did.
Maria, oh, Barbara. You know, when is there anything of that?
She says Allah and His Messenger know best and so on or what comes
to mind at that time is that if you put your reliance in Allah at
that critical moment, that shows you've got Reliance because at
that moment first you could say also and then say no, no, we'll
just do Torkel we all say that afterwards. But if you have it
from the beginning, Allah will provide because when you are
making him your first results, and not your cupboard or this or that
or your cousin or you know your next door neighbor, then he will
provide so she says Hola, or pseudo island. So she quickly she
put that in pieces, she had some gear or something, some butter or
some gear or something some and the process and said okay, tell 10
people to come in, you know, a 10 by 10 They came in and they ate
they went 10 people when an 8070 or 80 people he mentions in the
Hadith aid from that. I was in Dubai a few weeks about to what is
the last month
and I went to visit the scholar who I had met in Attica often
Mashallah. He's an older man probably 70 Something he's stayed
with a number of great orlimar in India Mala he was associated
manana acid Allah of Sauron portwest and carry
from Hardoi what's his name? Garcia deixa. Bhandari then he was
with Hakeem after he became his Khalifa and then he was in. Then
he's now with Montessori cars. So I went to visit him and he told me
in Attica, you come to my house malcode doll Kalanga.
Maria doll bhakti aapke doll Kalanga. So I remember that and
he's such a simple but such a nice guy. Right? very pious. So I went
to visit him. And
I had an invitation earlier were a program I did, but I couldn't eat.
I didn't feel like eating at that time was too early or something I
didn't eat. So I went to his house and I said, okay, yeah, I'll eat.
I didn't do too well of inputting the pretenses It was myself, three
others and him.
And he says, I've nicaya Canada isn't many of Canada. Canada,
Canada. Canada, is the food is ready.
System. Okay, fine. I mean, if it's ready, just bring it on. I
thought, Okay, well, there's no point doing the pretenses with
him. His wife was in hospital as well, that they see just like
crashing back from the hospital. But and yeah, there were two types
of doll there. And I think it was some rice and maybe, no, there was
definitely some kind of naan or bread or something and sunrise
and even the way he talks to his nephew was there or something even
the way he he calls him it's just so beautiful. We are lucky when he
Bill cola lucky when he like he's telling him off. And he's saying
lucky when he didn't he's
not like Bill cook. Julija. You know, like, means like, stupid. Go
Hurry up, you know, just like even you say that fondly. His fond
words are a lucky Willie the way of Allah.
And then we ate. And I didn't you know, I didn't eat a bit. I ate,
not loads and loads, but I ate. And I guarantee you that food did
not decrease except about 10%. Because when we looked at as like,
the food is still there. It probably only decreased about 10%
Even though three or four of us ate from it. So it's not
impossible. These things are not impossible. Of course. 70 people
from one pot. That is a lot to ask for today, but but it's not
impossible.
So that was another thing with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam.
I mean animals have spoken in front of him. The tree has given
him a response to salaam, the rock used to speak to him, the iguanas
spoke to him. All of these Hadith are there. He said to adopt the
Guan. He says, Man, who am I and the don't say You are the
messenger of Allah. He's he said it straight. But he what the point
is saying is that all of that is not up to his level. That's below
his level. His level is much higher.
because at the end of the day, he is a creation of Allah. And the
Marchesa is also a creation of Allah. So the comparison here is
between two creation, we're not comparing with Allah. Remember,
we're not comparing him with Allah, we're comparing him with
another creation. So he is obviously superior because he's
the most superior of creation.
So there's nothing wrong with that,
that he is superior to all those more deserts that were created by
Allah for him.
So it's just a creation to creation comparison.
But Allah subhana wa said, then why did Allah subhanaw taala not
give him so many miracles, to the level of his stature, real
stature, and that's up to Allah.
And again, this is one man's perspective. But there's an
element of truth in that.
It's just, you have to look at it in the correct way. Otherwise, it
gets a bit difficult.
Now, this is obviously there is one more geezer of his, which you
can't compare him with. But the fact that he received it is the
special designation and that is the Quran.
Because the Quran is the speech of Allah. So when he's making that
comparison here, he doesn't mean the Quran here. Because whenever
you make a universal declaration of some sort, there's always going
to be exceptions. That's the rule of the world. Because nothing is
perfect here in this world. So part of that is when you make a
universal statement or a declaration, there's always going
to be some exemptions from that. And the exemption here is the
Quran because the Quran is the one miracle of his, which is the
speech of Allah subhanho wa Taala and that can't be compared.
So you know, we put it in perspective.
Then he says, like Allah subhanaw taala uses Naina to the miracle
Lucia in a mirror of Bihar, it destroys everything with the you
know with the hokum of is of Allah, okay, it doesn't destroy
the whole world destroys what they've been talking about, but it
seems like collage everything, but obviously they mean a certain
thing by that that's the way we use speech.
Okay, let me underline Bhima Tatiana record will be he hit a
sonata in Fulham Narita. Well, I'm Naomi. Now he says that the
Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, despite his status now look, where
his mind is going that the process is a very high status we've just
associated with him, and we've just designated for him. That
means that he must be speaking like these great philosophers that
we can't even understand their words, what's a great philosophy
today? Somebody you can't understand. I mean, that's for
for, for the foolish among us. That's, that's what a great
philosophy I can't even understanding who is he? So the
world has moved on, you have to remember the West, when you're
talking about Europe never had a profit that we know about at least
I mean, it could have been, because Allah says that every
group has been sent a profit. But in our recent history of many
centuries, we don't know of any profits that came to Europe or
America. So their profits have been people like Immanuel Kant and
all these other people. And that is what Western philosophy has
been based on for a very long time, starting with Socrates,
Plato and Aristotle. And then they gave rise to these and these
recent German, Russian, French, you know, Derrida, Foucault, and
all these people and then the British or the English and but now
it's moved on beyond that today the fitna is not that although a
lot of based on that, but today's the one of the biggest fitness of
recent time, which is losing some of its luster. Now insha, Allah is
The God Delusion is Dawkins.
That's the problem of today. Because we've had so many people
come up who've been
basically deluded by that deluded by The God Delusion, as they say,
right? I mean, how many people come to you and they say, because
of what these older, early philosophers that that's causing
them a problem, it's generally because the older philosophers,
their stuff is quite complicated. Some of the stuff you can agree
with some of the conclusions they draw, though you can agree with,
not everything they say has to be wrong, or anybody says has to be
wrong, right, even a shaytaan tell some truth sometimes. So, today,
fitness are of different types of different times. So the Prophet
sallallahu, some despite this high status of his where he could have
been speaking at a totally different level, his because he
was sent for Dawa. What he was sent was understandable,
comprehensible to all of us. And hence, that's exactly what he's
saying. He did not try us and test us and challenge us with things
that baffled the mind.
Such was his concern for us. So we neither doubted nor straight.
Because
these high level discussions they're only for certain
individuals, not for everybody.
But with the prophets. Allah Salam, the hadith is for everyone.
As long as you've got some prerequisite knowledge to
understand them, you, you take them and you, you read them and
you benefit from them.
So what he's saying here, first and foremost, what we have to
understand is what is the aka what is aka? What is intellect? How do
you define intellect. First and foremost, the word Arkel in Arabic
comes from Aquila, which means to tie to bind. So it's from anchor
that dub when you bind and tie an animal so it doesn't escape. So
it's Arkell has this meaning of encompass meant tying and binding
something because the ankle is supposed to the ankle is that
which prevents
its
beholder. It's possessor
of
engaging in the
desires, meaning the wrong desires. That's what the article
is supposed to do. Real Arkell. So it's not talking about just raw
intelligence. It's talking about intelligence with wisdom, a very
comprehensive look at alkyl is that which prevents you from doing
the wrong to yourself. That's what alcohol is.
That's why in Arabic, it says, either aka Dakka, Dakka, Dakka,
Amala and Buffy for Antiochian. If your uncle, if it stops you and he
stops you from something which is unseemingly and wrong, then you
are asking, then you are intelligent.
One of the best things that have been said about alcohol is that
it's a no, it's a light that has been placed into the heart, which
is like the sight in the eyes like vision a person has, but it's this
is the one that's inner, the inner sight. That's what you call
arqule. Which, just like with the sight, sometimes you you can't see
properly sometimes it's a bit blurry. Sometimes it's close,
sometimes people lose it, sometime you can see more, you know, and so
on and so forth. You can use a telescope microscope and so on.
You can use instruments to augment your sight. Likewise, it happens
with that sometimes the eyes become weak and sick, cataracts
problems. Same thing happens with the hearts. Same thing happens
with the uncle in the hearts. So it becomes by doing disobedience
is with disobedience is it becomes duck, veiled filtered. That's why
you can't you stop seeing the truth as the truth.
Then you see the wrong as beautiful. You don't see the right
is the right. So if we've got a problem in distinguishing good and
bad and staying away from it and not preventing ourselves the
problem is with our outcome, because of the disobedience says.
So the uncle will increase our wisdom will increase with the with
the increase of obedience says.
Now the question is where is this article within us? Very difficult
to pin it down. However, we know one thing some people say it's in
the demand it's in the mind it's in the in when we say mind,
where's the mind? It's in the it's in the brain? Because the brain is
physical.
Why do we say it's in the brain is because generally when somebody
has an effect on the brain effects the occult generally. So that's
why because of that association, but some say that No, actually
it's real place and source is the heart and it has an extension to
the brain. Clearly there's some truth in all of this.
Allah says a phenom, you see refill or deferred Hakuna Allahu
Kowloon yaki Luna, Bihar, Allah says himself when they don't they,
why don't they travel on the earth, in the earth. And then they
have hearts that they will understand from, or understand
with and comprehend with.
And then Allah subhanaw taala says in a hadith good see, when I love
a servant, I become his hearing by which he hears and his sight by
which he sees and his hand by which he holds and his feet by
which he walks and his heart by which he comprehends. So in this
hadith, there are there is the sight. And there is the heart and
the comprehension, two different things. So that's the Ockel the
second one, and it's with the uncle, that people are
distinguished in the world. Some people become superior to others
or overcome others using Docker. So the alcohol is a very, very
potent and important
characteristic that people have in this dunya and akhira. It will
work in both places.
That's why it is said that hygroma RTL in CERN, Laughlin, yes judo,
the best thing a person can be given is an uncle that stops him
holds him back prevents him from the wrong things for in them
Jaquan if he doesn't have
In the apple for hire on Yom Nehru who, if he doesn't have any
alcohol and intelligence and that kind of wisdom, then if he still
has, if that person still has modesty and chastity, he'll still
be good. You have now who it will still prevent him from doing the
wrong and haram. There's people who are foolish, but they've got a
lot of they don't have much alcohol as they say, but they have
at least they have higher a natural shyness and bashfulness
keeps them away for in LA murican. If he doesn't even have the
pheromone on your stew, then he will have the wealth, which will
then at least keep him and fulfill his needs, will be able to buy
things with it. We're in lemmya Khan. If he doesn't have Apple, he
doesn't have higher, he doesn't have wealth, then for Satya cotton
tariku Then you just need a lightning that will burn him away.
And there's no need for him. So you need something
for the study home in Hull biller will have a bird's eye when he's
gone. When he struck with lightning and he's gone. When he
when he's destroyed, then people and the surroundings will rest.
Because he was such a you're such a violent and such such a fitna
May Allah not make us of those.
So what he says in this regard, is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam because of his avid interest in our welfare, and his
great chef aka and his compassion and his mercy for us. He never
challenged us or made us responsible for dealing with
complicated issues
that would go beyond our Arkadin intellect. And he never challenged
us with issues that will cause us doubt in things. So for example,
he never said that you have to become philosophical,
and that you have to understand the reality of the spirit, the
soul, he never told us that you must and in fact, in the Quran, he
is kind of discouraged. They asked about the rule, say that the rule
is from my Lord of my command of my Lord, and you've been given
very less knowledge. So he never made us responsible for that.
Neither did he make us responsible for understanding the Galaxy
system and how it works. And what are the supernumerary worlds? And
he didn't make us responsible for that you're not going to be
questioned about it on the Day of Judgment, neither as to what is
beyond the heavens, he never made us. Like we don't have to know
where Jana is. We just have to know it is there. But we don't
have to know exactly where it is. Neither did he make us responsible
for knowing what is in the, under the Earth's? Neither did he tell
us that you must try to comprehend God, meaning his essence. He said,
No, what you should do is you should try to understand the
signs, His manifestation in terms of his beauty and his actions that
he does in the world, the saints, not who the essence of ALLAH is,
you can't understand that. In fact, He prohibited us from that
He prohibits us from trying to understand destiny because he says
You won't understand it, you will come out, be deluded, so don't
even try. So he gave us an example from our own rule. The rule, it's
our own rule.
So Allah says that the rule, you know, you don't have been given
much knowledge. What is the most essential aspect of the human
being,
this body will wither and die and decompose will be given a new body
in the hereafter? The rule, here's what's going to continue. But we
don't even know the reality of this rule. So he said that you are
ignorant of your own rule inside you that makes you tick that makes
you move that gives you life. What are you going to understand beyond
that?
So that's why all of these questions today when people are
challenged, where is Allah brother?
The prophets, Allah, I'm only asked that once to this slave girl
for a very particular reason. This was not a question, for example,
that he asked many, many people everybody that came with Allah is
Allah is Allah it was never it was just that one Hadith, that one
slave girl. And she was asked that because they say she couldn't
speak. That was one example. The other thing is just to distinguish
you pointed up, that was only to distinguish that she did not
believe in the idols because in those days, you either were an
idol worship or that were on ground level, or your worship of
Allah subhana wa Tada. And she said, up, which indicated that,
but neither did the profit or loss and neither did the sahaba.
Afterwards, go and ask these questions today. People ask this
question. And then some people say he's everywhere. Then they say,
okay, is he in the toilet then if he's everywhere, it's wrong to say
he's everywhere physically, anyway. But it's just putting
somebody in that position because people never generally think about
it. If you ask somebody really, is Allah in this house or in this cup
or in this bottle? Listen, what are you talking about? It's a daft
question. When you ask that question,
somebody you're making them think of things that are wrong.
The products are awesome. Never did that with everybody and
anybody. That was a very special interrogation he had to do or a
questioning he had to do to ascertain something. It's never
been a common question. And until this century, it was never a
common question at all. I don't think you've been able to take me
ask that question. Right? He went around us. I don't think he even
did that.
I mean, look, some things do kind of pick up at certain times become
trending, and you know, so and so forth. And that's just what's
happened here. But the process also never made it difficult. In
fact, he said, Look, we don't even
we don't use the special calculator. You see the moon
Hollis, you do your aid, and otherwise you don't
made it simple. In fact, those days, the people they knew the sky
is much better than any of us.
When we look up there, all we see is these weird lights all over the
place, if we can even see them one day.
But you go to the desert, and you ask anybody, they will tell you
what it is. And if you if they were to ask you, where's the
Pleiades? With today? Yeah, and where's the Big Dipper? And
where's this? And you don't know they're gonna think Man, what do
you know? You know, you would be a PhD or a master's from here, Big
Island, whatever, you go into a desert. And it's there's a guy
saying, can you tell me which is the North Star? You probably won't
you won't be able to say that. I think my What do you know?
Because what do we know? So the prophets of Allah some never told
us to go, never made it responsible. Yeah, seeing is
encouragement to know more, to get to closer to Allah and to learn
these things and to teach and educate, but it was never made
real responsibility for everybody. And that's how people are, that's
just the way people are. And that was all of a shuffle for us. So
when a person cannot even understand the soul that makes his
him live, how can you understand how Allah is what he is? All you
need to know is that he exists. He has these attributes. He is all
powerful Allah coalition encoded as what the Quran says in Hollis.
That's it. Okay, so these two are very short, our el worauf Marina
who Felisa you're on your Kirby Wilbert the fee, fee Rahman, fatty
layer among, for me. What that means is, he says,
understanding his meaning, who he really is the substance that he is
from, exhaust the human mind, it will tie your mind it will, it's
impossible for you to comprehend. So again, he's just going back to
the same theme after mentioning his high status. And despite his
high status, he did not make us responsible for knowing these
intricate, profound details. But then he goes back to the fact that
saying that,
if you try to understand his meaning, well, who he really was,
and his high status, it will exhaust your mind your mind is not
capable of doing so.
And then he says another thing, he says, near and far always seem to
be dumbstruck. It doesn't matter whether you're closer to him, and
you walked around with him and knew him or you were distant, and
you never even met him like us, or you were the sahaba. When it comes
to really understanding who he is none of it, nobody did.
Yes, they understood more than us. But did they get to the depth and
limits of who he was? No, not even them. So then he strikes an
example. He says it's like the sun,
which,
to the eye at a distance, it seems small.
But when near it does decide if it's small, generally, when things
are small, when you get closer, they become clearer.
But what he's trying to say is that you get clear to the sun, and
it will desert you and you will be worse off than you and you are
further because you could probably see it as distance, but seeing it
from closer up, it gets you right there.
So
it doesn't matter how close you will just become more and more
dazzled the more you know,
the more and more you know, the more desert you become because
then it starts giving rise to this data may becomes much more
complicated. That's what he's saying in these two.
He says that the creation is totally enfeebled from
understanding the secrets that Allah subhanaw taala gave him the
special qualities that Allah chose him for. It's impossible.
What are we talking about here?
Think of it.
He is the one who reached the status physically going up in his
marriage, to where he heard, he says, I went to a place where I
heard the screeching of depends writing the decree.
So what happens is that you've got the local math booth, on which
everything was written 50,000 years before the creation of the
world. Now every week or every month or every day, whatever the
time limit is, there are angels that take from there as to what's
going to happen in the next week. And they write those decrees and
given to the other angels.
So whether that's writing on a tablet or is writing on a pen or a
slayed form, Allah knows best what they use, but they must have some
serious technology. Right? Because we're only getting this recently.
It's only coming to us recently and it's improving. I mean,
they've got the best tech. I mean, imagine what the angels use, what
did they use to write? You know, we've always been like paper, they
will how much paper have they got, you know, people must have
questioned people must have questioned that now, today, you
see, you can pack so much information in it,
you know, in an iPad or something. So they must have some serious,
serious technology that they've been writing on for years and
years, that is never going to that's never going to be depleted,
never gonna run out of space, you know, never have to update the
system, you know, and so on and so forth. They must have something
really serious. So he went to the level where he could hear these
pens writing.
Then
he will have the McConnell Muhammad, which we know he'll be
the one to intercede on everybody's behalf.
He's the one who led the Gambia in prayer in beta macness. On that,
on that special night for Kabak. He went to his Lord and he says
For Callback Hosseini, oh, Adena, according to one of the tough
scenes that he was as close as above or even closer, nobody's
been to that level.
And
in the Laylatul, Sr, he went even beyond where Jibreel can go,
because you really had to stop at one place and says, Okay, I can't
go beyond this, you will have to go alone. So all of these things,
if you were to try to understand this and things that we don't even
know what happened with him, then you would not be able to. So it
doesn't matter how close you are, in terms of knowing the absolute
limits. Everybody's a jarhead
because only Allah subhanaw taala knows.
There was Imam Shafi, you've heard of Imam Shafi. He had his one of
his main students was Imam Moosonee. Imam Muslim, he says
that people did never really understood Imam Shafi was, and
they would not all you know, is is a big, big, Hadith and a big
fucky. But most, and he knows his status, because money is a great
jurist. He knows the intricacies of fic. And he knows how his
teachers mind works and what he knows. So when he knows so much,
and he's baffled by that amount of what he knows, can you imagine why
he then makes the statement that people didn't never really
recognize that you weren't sure for you was, because his status
was very high, because I can tell you that because I know in my
expertise, and my proficiency, Shafi was even greater than me. So
what people they have no idea where he was.
So if that's about Imam Shafi and other individuals, then look at
what Rasulullah sallallahu said must have been.
That's where he then talks about the sun, you're the same
regardless, the more closer you get to the sun, the more it's
going to dazzle you,
the more it's going to dazzle you because the more it'll be intense.
So the closer you get to Rasulullah sallallahu ism is going
to be even more intense, his qualities are going to be more
intense, more you're going to know, the more it's going to be
revealed. And you're just going to get more and more befuddled and
dazzled. And that's it. So that way, it doesn't make a difference
where you are, you're never going to know the full potential. But
yes, you know more than others. And then, for next week, the next
poem, wor k for you that worked for you three COVID Dunya piccata,
who commonly among the salon who will Hello me. He says how can how
can his reality be grasped in this world by people who are asleep?
distracted from him by dreams? That makes it that makes it even
worse, that we're so distracted individuals how are we going to
understand them? We're asleep. For my blog will tell me fi and who
Buchon were under who Jairo hulky law he called him. The most we
know of him is that he is a mortal man, and that he is the best of
all Allah's creation. That's all we can say.
May Allah subhanaw taala give us to drink from his hands on the day
of judgment from his hold and may Allah give us his company and not
allow him to turn away from us?

Charlemagne, the point of a lecture is to encourage people to
act to get further an inspiration, and encouragement, persuasion. The
next step is to actually start learning seriously, to read books
to take on a subject of Islam and to understand all the subjects of
Islam at least at the basic level, so that we can become more aware
of what our deen wants from us. And that's why we started Rayyan
courses so that you can actually take organize lectures on demand
whenever you have free time, especially for example, the
Islamic essentials course that we have on the Islamic essentials
certificate, which you take 20 Short modules and at the end of
that inshallah you will have gotten the basics of most of the
most important topics in Islam and you'll feel a lot more confident.
You don't have to leave lectures behind you can continue to live,
you know, to listen to lectures, but you need to have this more
sustained study as well. JazakAllah Heron salaam aleikum wa
rahmatullah wa barakato.
