This opportunity to look at these most powerful verses of the Quran.
This is AYATUL kursi, the verse of the kursi, the verse of the
throne. It's called the throne verse. It has huge importance and
significance.
The value of this verse, the status of this verse, the maqam of
this verse is extremely high. It's related in Sahih Hadith from a
Zulu allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that it is the UF Dalu is
in Philippi Kitab Allah it is the most superior, most virtuous and
most excellent verse of Allah subhanho wa Taala is Kitab Imam
Muhammad Ibrahim humble Rahim Allah He is related, transmitted a
Hadith from obey IGNOU cabra the Allah one that the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam once asked him, the Prophet sallallahu
Sallam asked obey YBNL gabra The Allah one
UI at infy Kitab Allah He out
in the book of Allah which is the verse that is the greatest that is
the most majestic
and of course this is the Prophet sallallahu Sallam asking obey
Ubuntu capsule Babel macabre the Allah one was said Allah and His
Messenger know best.
The prophets Allah loves him asked him this over and over again
repeatedly a few times which is the most superior verse of the
Quran. So then obey or the Allah Himself said I will kursi this
throne verse. So the Prophet sallallahu Sallam got really
happy, and he said to him, Leah, Nicola, Belmont, Belmont, Belmont
is, obey bluecar was also callable mantra says, May the knowledge,
may your knowledge be great for you.
By the one in whose hand is my soul,
I tell Kersey has a tongue, and it has lips. This is in
Allah knows best exactly what that means. But this is what the
Prophet said was him said that this verse, it has a tongue and it
has lips, which glorify Allah, which glorify Allah, by the by the
feet of the arch, by the foot of the arch, it stays there and it
glorifies Allah subhanaw taala Imam Muslim has related this
narration as well. There's another narration I'm going to mention
several before we start actually looking at the verse I want to
explain its importance. We've already learned that it is the
greatest verse of the Quran. Why is it the greatest? And what are
we supposed to do with this verse?
You see from a perspective of being Quran, it is the same as any
other verse in the Quran. Because every single verse in the Quran,
even the verses which speak about the Pharaoh and the shaytaan, and
the bliss, they are also Quran which means the words of Allah
subhanaw taala. This verse is also the word of Allah subhanho wa
taala. So in terms of that, it is the same, but in terms of what it
contains, its subject matter. Its theme. It is the greatest because
it it is one verse, long verse, which is completely dedicated to
describing who Allah subhanaw taala is, that is the great beauty
of this verse. So now
there is a no
The narration that is related from
Abdullah IGNOU, obey IGNOU cab, so obey ImmunoCAP son. He relates
this, he says that his father will be even a cab informed him that he
used to have
a container that used to have dates inside a container of dates
and,
or other container here to supply a supply of dates. He realized
once that it was actually diminishing, they were
disappearing from there, he could see that they were disappearing.
He wasn't taking them they were disappearing.
So one night he decided he's going to stay at night and look after
them, protect them and watch over them to see what's going on.
So suddenly, he sees this creature he suddenly sees this creature
that looks like
a young boy right creatures a young boy it looks like a young
boy.
And
this whatever this creature was that looked like a young boy it
made salaam to him as salaam aleikum. So he responded I said,
Well, who are you? Are you a gin or human? What are you are you a
gin or human because he looked really strange and obscure like
this said I'm a gin says give me your hand over you look up, give
me your hand. So he gave me his hand. His hand was the hand of a
dog. So it looked like a poor that is a that's what it looked like.
And also the hair was like the hair of a dog. So I said, Is this
how jeans are created? Like is this what jeans look like? So he
said, It looks like you have understood the gene better than I
have.
Then I asked him why are you doing what you're doing? Why are you
taking some of the dates away?
Why do I feel that my dates are disappearing?
So he said that I have heard that you are a person who likes giving
a lot of sadaqa and charity. You love to give a lot of charity. So
we just want you to come and eat some of your foods. We just want
you to come and take some of your food
now obey macabre the Allahu Anhu decided to ask him a question. He
said tell me what will give me protection from you. It's very
interesting that you find a thief and you say okay, tell me how I
can protect myself from you from A to G Rana familia as a YouTuber
and I'm income.
So he said this is this is the jinn telling him that this is this
verse, which is AYATUL kursi that will protect you from us.
So the next morning will be even acabo into the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam and told him about this and the prophets Allah
some said satirical Hadith,
this hobby.
He has told the truth. Hobbies means this ugly repugnant
individual creation whoever he is, he's told the truth.
This is how Imam Hakim has related this in his mustard rock.
From a Buddha with a biopsy and a number of others. He says this is
Sahil isnaad Though Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim haven't related
this, but it's Sahiwal isnaad.
There's a number of other versions of this narration as well as a
famous one was Abu Huraira to be alone, which many of you may have
already heard. We'll look at that a bit later. There's another
narration from Anasazi. Hola, Juan. Ahmed relates this
says that an asymptomatic or the Allahu Anhu said that Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wasallam once asked his companions
a philon
You know, like you'd say, also such as Oh, so and so like that a
philon? Are you married?
Health as a Witched said, No, I don't have anything to marry with
because you know, in those it's very important that you had a
model. You had things to give and look after your family with.
So the prophets Allah has amassed him that don't you have Kulu
Allahu Ahad?
He said, Yes. He said that's 1/4 of the Quran.
Don't you have Kalia? You will Kathy rune? He said yes. He said,
that is 1/4 of the Quran. Don't you have either Zulu Zillertal or
those zada that's worth a quarter of the Quran. Don't you have
Elijah Nasir Allah he will fit? He said yes. He said that is worth a
quarter of the Quran and don't you have AYATUL kursi that's worth a
quarter of the Quran. What it means it doesn't necessarily mean
that you don't have to read the Quran you just read these and it
will be like reading the full Quran. You may get the reward of
it, but you're not gonna it's not going to be the same as the reward
of actually reading the entire
Quran itself also another meaning of it is that each one of these
holds such a meaning and a subject matter. That is one of the four
main themes of the Quran or something like this. So it has a
very rich content that is equivalent to a quarter of the
Quran that if you understand this well it's as a as though you have
understood a quarter of the Quran. So it's various meanings of this
but you can just see the value of sort of AYATUL kursi in this. The
next Hadith I want to relate to you is Imam Buhari generation now
now Imam Buhari Rahmatullah here today. He is related this story
about it's a different story from Abu Huraira the Allah one in his
father, even Quran is also related in Kitab al Ricarda Sciver to
IBLEES a number of other chapters in his site with man Abdullah
Haytham, he relates and he goes to Mohammed Hypno CT and Hooray some
Abu Huraira the Allah Juan Abu Huraira the Allah vana says that
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he made me
the caretaker, the God, the one who looks after the Zakat of
Ramadan, you know the money of zakat that was collected in
Ramadan, he made me in charge of it.
And one, one day, one night, I was there looking after it, and
suddenly, somebody comes along and starts to take him help himself
from the food that was there. I grabbed him, I took hold of him, I
captured him, and I said, I'm gonna report you to the messenger
of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So the person process is
that any mortage I'm in great need. I'm a poor person. I am a
needy man. I'm a destitute and I've got many hungry children,
many hungry children. I have a huge needs, I mean, intense needs.
So I felt sorry for him. I like let him go. In the morning, the
prophets Allah I was with the prophets, Allah is some of you
know, he was in the masjid. Right. So the Prophet sallallahu sallam
said Himself to me, I didn't mention anything to him. The
prophets of Allah some himself said to me, oh, Abu Huraira your
prisoner of last night? What did he do? So he suddenly mentioned
that.
I said, the Rasul Allah, he just complained of having a lot of
poverty. He was in intense need, he's got a family and so on. So
then I felt merciful. I felt compassion towards him. So I let
him go. He said, The Prophets Allah, some said, he's told you a
lie. But he will come back. He's telling a lie, but he will come
back. So I knew Abu Huraira the Aman says, I knew that he is going
to come back because the Prophet saw some said so.
And he came back, I waited for him. He comes back and he starts
suddenly helping himself to the food again.
I took hold of him again. I said, this time, I'm going to report you
to the messenger of allah sallallahu sallam, he says, No,
let me go, please. You know, I'm, I am in need. And I've got all of
these family to look after I won't come back now. I won't come back.
Again, I had mercy on him. Again, I had mercy on him and I let him
go. In the morning. The prophets also said to me abou Herrera, your
prisoner of last night. Again, what did he do? So I said yada,
yada. Again, he complained of all of this need to me and
I let him go, I felt sorry for him.
Again, the professor Lawson said, Look, he's told he's telling you a
lie. But he will come back. So I waited for him for the third time.
And this time he comes in again, I see him casually helping himself
to the food he didn't say casual is just my opinion, is taking from
the food again, or just imagine the shape on his bowl, just come
and start taking in. So I said this time I'm going to report you
to Allah's Messenger, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and this is the
final of the three times that you keep saying you're not going to
come back. That is the third time you've come back. And then you
keep coming back. She said, Look, let me go this time.
And I will teach you some words a formula. I will teach you a
formula that will Allah will benefit you by it, Allah will
benefit you by it. Okay, these words. Whatever the Allah is a
student of knowledge and for a student of knowledge, you tell him
I'll give you a book. Or I'll give you some knowledge and say yes,
that's, that's greater for me than anything else. So he says, What is
this formula? What are these special words?
So this individual says, when you go to your bed at night, recite
AYATUL kursi.
Recite AYATUL kursi Do you know I
guess everybody knows Al
Hamdulillah this is something which most of our single parents
one of the first things we teach our children and made that
continue. Recite AYATUL kursi Allahu La ilaha illa Well, hi
Eureka you until you finish it.
That will remain for you. If you read this. Allah will send a
protector for you.
Through these verses, it will remain taking care
Review and the shaytaan. Now, this is the first time shaytans name
comes into the picture because even the professor didn't call him
a shaytaan. He called him a liar. Until now, right, which is the
other name for shaytaan. But we heard was not to know this yet, is
but shaytan is telling him that the shaytaan will not come to you
until the morning. So if you read this at night, shaytan will not
come to you until the morning. So I let him go.
That was the deal. I let him go. In the morning. The professor also
again said to me, your prisoner, what did he do last night? So I
told him we are a sort of Allah. He claimed that he could teach me
some verses a formula that would Allah would benefit me through
them. So I let him go, what are they? The professor Lawson said.
He said that when you I told him when you go to your bed at night,
then recite AYATUL kursi from the beginning until you finish it
Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola, Europe, a human
constantly throughout the night.
Allah will send you a protector mean Allah will protect you
shaytaan will not come close to you until the morning.
And above whatever the Allah Allah is saying this, that he seemed to
be really really greedy. Oh, actually, this is actually a boo
Herrera, the Allah one and the sahaba. So the narrator is
narrating that the Sahaba they used to always be looking out for
the goodness to learn something new of virtue. So the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Look, know that he has told you
the truth. He is telling you the truth in no sadaqa Well, who
cares? Dubai, he's a liar.
So that's his he is a liar, but for some reason he's told you the
truth. Do you know who you've been speaking to, for the last three
nights. abou Herrera said no that will shape on.
That will shaytaan. Now
shaytaan doesn't generally come like that anymore, though he still
does.
There's different opinions about whether shaytan still comes about
himself in the form. And while that is still possible, because in
the town, rasool Allah Salas numerous times like this, during
when the people of Morocco deciding on what to do with the
Prophet sallallahu, some shaytan appeared in the form of an old man
from nudged he doesn't come as a shaytaan he generally comes as a
human being, so that he can fit in. And most other times what he
does, is that they he is, he will from I was speaking to a very
prominent individual who
is on a very high position of a very religious man. He says to me
that generally what happens and he's he's been in numerous
negotiate negotiations and meetings. So generally what
happens is, the meeting will be taking place. And the way shaytan
will, the way evil will come through it is that even though it
may be going very, very well,
somebody will be made to say something through an inspiration
of the shaytaan they may not even realize it and they will just turn
the whole thing around.
They will turn the whole thing around. This makes a great amount
of sense. The only way of protection from that is that even
when you are in a meeting, especially important meetings,
should constantly try to remember Allah subhanaw taala. So while
we're having a meeting, I may speak you may speak you may speak
but in the midst of all of that, you should have at least be with
you at least Allahumma Salli, ala Sayidina, Muhammad Allah, Allah,
Allah, Allah, even under your breath in your heart, that will
keep the shaytaan away. Because Allah subhanho wa Taala says in
the Quran, amen. Yeah, Chu, and decree Rahmani naka de la who
Shavon and for whoever who Kareem that those who remain,
who abandon who stay away from the remembrance of the Most Merciful
One. we designate and subjugate the shaytaan for them, who becomes
a close associate.
And we know from the Hadith that the shaytans that each one of us
has that is that tells us to do bad when we make vicar of Allah
they they retreat. So especially when it's an important meeting,
it's important to remember Allah subhanaw taala at that time, this
is the way shaytan does things. He doesn't have to come in his own
form, he will come Shayateen origins Shayateen ins that's why
we have this concepts. There's another narration another story
that's related about this from Abner Masuda the Allah one. So one
of the human one of the people, he was on his way somewhere, and
suddenly he confronts one of the gym. He confronts agent
and the gym says to him that
Let's have a duel. Let's have a wrestle. Let's have a fight.
If you fight to me, I will teach you an iron a verse. And if you
recite that verse, When you enter your house, the shaytaan cannot
enter that house. Now this person, just, you know, he's looking at
this gym. Not sure if he knows it's a gentleman, but it seems
like he probably does know it's a gym. So then he had a wrestling
match with him. And he overcame him.
So he said to him, that I find you to be extremely weak.
And it's as though your hands as though your hands are like that of
a dog. So again, you get that description like we had in the
other narration. So it looks like this, the gin is coming in this
Jin form is such the one when they are visible, they're like this, of
course, they can take the form of a human being like a proper human
being, when they take the form of when they just become revealed as
a gem, then they become like that.
So it looks like this idea of the hand is like a poor of a dog. So
he asked him, Is this how you are? Is this how you gin? Is this how
you generally appear and how you look like all of you? Or are you
just like one of them who is a bit weak and different?
So he said, No, I'm actually a very strong person. I'm supposed
to be from among the jinn, I'm actually very strong. I'm not a
weak one.
So
we fought again, we did another wrestle. Again, this time, the
human being the man, he overcame him again. So then the person does
gin. As promised, He said, You recite AYATUL kursi recite AYATUL
kursi and anybody who recites it and then enters their house,
the shaytaan will come out. So if there's a shaytaan in the house
and you go inside the house, so inshallah when we go back home
today,
right, all of us Inshallah, read the AYATUL kursi. Inshallah, the
shaytaan will come out of the house.
Into Masuda the Allahu Anhu somebody said to him, that Who was
this man was it Omar?
Was this Amara, the Allahu Allah Who this happened with?
So he said, who couldn't? Who else could it have been except Omar?
Made it be something somebody like Amara Dianna who would do
something like this.
So that's basically what it is.
Another narration Which Imam Hakeem has related in his Musa Doc
is from Abu Huraira the Allahu Anhu Rasulullah sallallahu sallam
said Surah Al Baqarah.
In it is an ayah which is considered the leader of the
verses of the Quran say yes to Al Quran, Ernie.
Any house in which it is recited shaytaan runs out. That is AYATUL
kursi.
Again, this is a generation though Imam Buhari has not related it,
but it's Asahina raishin.
We have another narration
which is
Imam Ahmed relates
that I heard Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam say now let us
the verse of AYATUL kursi is Allahu La ilaha illa who al Haj
Europa you
al Haj Europa you Allah, there is no God except he. So Allah is the
subject, La ilaha illa who is like another sin clause in between and
then who will high yield a high yield consume. Allah is the living
and the independence or the self subsisting however you want to
translate that. So it's Allah, Allah ulica Yom Allah is the
height and the que yo, La ilaha illa who is in the middle, and
there's some various other ways of looking at this. Because by the
end of this session, Inshallah, we want to really understand what
AYATUL kursi is all about. So that when we read it, we understand
what we're reading, we have a good understanding and a good picture
of what AYATUL kursi is about Inshallah, that will make it much
more powerful.
Do you know what it means?
But you know it right? So Inshallah, today we're going to
try to understand what it means so that it becomes more powerful. So
Allah yoka you This is extremely powerful. It's got the word Allah
in this verse, it has Allah and it has Allah Europa Yom Allah and
Allah Ulukaya. Both of these are known to be smaller in our them.
The great
Name of Allah as the Hadith mentions, Allah has a great name
by which if you use it to call on time you do as will be accepted.
One opinion is that it's Allah. That's the most famous opinion.
Another opinion is that is how you will consume. And this ayah has
got both in there. So if you recite this ayah, this entire
AYATUL kursi, the throne verse, you've got all of the baraka so
that's why it's related by Imam Ahmed,
from shahada Hashem from a smart man two years even a second she
says that I heard a sudo allah sallallahu Sallam saying that in
these two verses Allah hula Illa Illa who will Hi Europa you
and Alif Lam Allahu La ilaha illa who Allah Europa which has been a
sort of early Imran, in these two is the is Mala Hill album
is Mala Hill album is in these two verses. And this is also what has
been related by Imam Abu Dawood, from Musa Imam Timothy and so on
and they've all related this this is a hassle incineration. That's
now you can see why this verse is so powerful. We have another
narration which is related by Abdullah the way from Abu Omar
Mara the Allah one says that a Prophet sallallahu sallam said is
Mala Hill out of them. The Great Name of Allah. Allah the either
door ARB a job by which if you call unto Him, He will respond
Allah will respond is in three verses or is in three. One is
Surah Al Baqarah. It's inserted Bacara it's inserted earlier Imran
and it's in surah Taha it's in these three obviously specific
verses. And then he it's been mentioned that he sham relates he
shall ignore Amar who is famous hadith of Damascus it relates to
in Bukhara is Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah europeo that's the
verse because they'll high yield a young insert early Emraan it's the
beginning of the flow. Meme Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola. Well, hi yoka
UMX and in surah Taha it's what Anna till whoo hoo lil high yield
Are you
it's that's the verse so it's how you look are you in these three
swords? That's where this these words a curl. Hi, yah. Hey, you
yaka you that's what we're gonna read.
There is another narration
in which a boo mama relates, again, ignore the way he has
transmitted this narration from Abu Omar the Alana Surah, Lhasa
Lawson said, Man, Cora Dubois, Cooley, Salah, MCDU button,
whoever recites at the end, after finishing your fourth prayer,
or the five for prayers, I told kursi whoever recites that that's
why you see a number of people already doing this
lamium Nat who mean the hole in Jannetty in LA Illa a moot
The only thing that is stopping him from entering Jana is his
death
meaning a person recites This is a person of jannah inshallah, and
this is of course, for the person who becomes habituated to reading
this after each solids
who keeps doing this?
We will mention this now, and we will be inspired to do this. But
then the one who remembers to do this, because generally after
solid we are generally in a hurry, so we get up and we run, right, so
that is a fourth, this is not a fourth, this is just optional. So
we do the farther we run from the nothing, but only those people who
are dedicated one doctor and say, No, I want to sit down. And I want
to do this as well. So may Allah subhanaw taala grant a small
little feat to do this as well.
Now,
Abu Abdullah, he mentioned that
I had to kursi is such a verse that Allah will give you the
reward of it both in this world and in the hereafter. In terms of
this world, we've already mentioned in the narrations, that
you will get a protection and we are in times where we need
protection. May Allah protect us, we will have protection from all
forms of our first and calamities.
It is related from Nofal be curly, says AYATUL kursi in the Torah is
called a Walia to Allah, the friend of Allah
and the person who recites it.
In the kingdom of the heavens and earth, that person will be
considered as ease and mighty.
Abdul Rahman him now for the Allah one, one of the great Sahaba
whenever he would enter his house, he would go and he recite it could
see in all of the four corners of his house,
he would go to each corner and recite AYATUL kursi you can do
that in each of your corners of your room.
As though he was looking he was seeking a protection from ALLAH
SubhanA
Motorola in all of the corners of his house so that he could be
protected from all four sides. This is how the Sahaba understood
this.
There's numerous other iterations
that we can go into, but in the interest of time, I will just
mentioned I will actually we will inshallah start speaking about the
verse itself. If not, unbiasedly Allahu Anhu says, I had to kursi
is Ashraful ayat in fill Quran. It is the most noble of the verses of
the Quran.
Some of their Allama they explain why it's the most noble, it's
because it is this verse in which Allah is mentioned repeatedly over
and over again the whole subject matter specific detail here and
content is all about Allah subhana wa Tada.
Allah is mentioned here at least 18 times either explicitly or in a
pronoun, or referenced 18 times in this one verse.
Let me just go through the translation of AYATUL kursi. So we
understand the whole verse before we look at it individually.
Allahu La ilaha illa who Allah yoka whom Allah it starts with the
greatest and most Majestic Name of Allah, there is no God except he
so we are saying from before there is no God except t it is him Alhaj
Europa UMX he is the living one. And he is the self subsisting and
sustaining one, but you means ca him, the one who is in charge and
taking care the caretaker, he is not in need of anybody and
everybody is in need of Him, He takes care of everything.
And the height is the living one.
All the attributes of Allah subhanaw taala
they all come back to high because if Allah was not high, then none
of the other attributes would exist. So logically speaking,
somebody has to be alive, to be generous, to be speaking, to be
listening, to understand so it's a logical basis of all of the other
attributes and Names of Allah subhanaw taala learned that who
the WHO sinner to Allah No, no slumber no sleep can overcome him.
Forget full sleep, not even slumber when you got sleep in your
eyes though you haven't slept fully yet. You're still aware of
things but your eyes are droopy. So no slumber Do you ever slumber
you know slumbering right now right?
So no slumber no sleep can overcome him. For him. laahu Math,
his summer work at Walmart I fill out for him is all that is there
in the summer, what in the heavens? Warmer fill or than
everything that is in the earth. So everything in the heavens and
earth belongs to him he is the sovereign, the King, the owner,
the administrator.
Then Allah asks a question, mandala the Yeshua are in the
lobby is
sometimes the most effective way of driving a point home is to ask
a question. So it gets you to think if I just keep telling you
stuff, then you may get you may start getting distracted. If I ask
you a question that I'm engaging you mandala, the issuer in the
Willoughby who is it that can intercede by him, except with his
permission.
Now if we understood the Quran, and this is our interaction with
the Quran, Allah will be telling us something then and ask a
question, then make us think, don't you think? Don't they think
anything I do think I should think but when we don't understand the
meaning of the Quran, though, we love it so much and we still read
it with you know, we still read many father of the Quran.
Unfortunately, we can't take that benefit though. You know, when
Allah engages, asked questions makes us think.
So who is it that can intercede
by him? Except with his permission? Yeah. And a mama bein
ad he mama homophone. He knows everything that is before them and
will come later.
He knows everything that they know. That's in front of them and
everything that will even come while you're here tonight. Bishi
immunol me he Ellerbee Masha, there is nothing and no one who
can encompass cover, acquire every part of his knowledge. Nobody
except only that which Allah once Allah will give you a small amount
of his knowledge.
There is nobody that can encompass all of his knowledge
was here I could see you somehow it will
Arthur, his kursi
expands the heavens and the earth.
This is why it's called AYATUL kursi. It could have been called
the Ayatollah, it could have been called AYATUL. High yield to you.
It could have been called to Schaeffer. It could have been
called Ayatollah.
But it was called AYATUL kursi. Was he I could see you a summer
word he will have his kursi will describe what that is later.
Expanded encompasses the heavens and earth, it's in fact greater
than more expensive than Wallah Yahoo has glaucoma. And he tells
you that the kursi is so great. That's just one creation of his he
hasn't even spoken about dosh. And ours is even greater than that.
His kursi is more expensive than the heavens and earth for us
heavens and the earth is big enough, that's more than we can
even take in. Because even from a scientific perspective, we haven't
been able to fully understand beyond our own planet. Much of
what's out there is looking at it every day. And every every few
months, every few years with the new telescopes and other things
people are discovering how much we don't know and how much we don't
know as we continue to know it continues to mind boggle us. Then
Allah says very simply says while you do have
to look after all of this and protect him keep it in its system.
It doesn't make Allah tired or weary at all. Looking after all of
this doesn't tie him out at all.
And that's telling us how great Allah subhanaw taala is will who
will ally you allow him and he is the mighty and he is the high and
the mighty one. That's essentially what this verse is about. It's you
can see the full description of Allah subhanaw taala that's what
it refers to. So now let's look at
each of these in a bit more detail. So it opens up for us.
First and foremost Allah Europa UMX
Alhaj as I mentioned, it's one of the great names of Allah subhana
wa Tada. And as I mentioned, it is also the Ismaila Hill album.
Right with LTU it is a smaller Hill album.
It is related. The ISA Abner millennium, you know that Sid
salaam he used to bring. He used to bring living back to death.
Because you know, he used to make birds out of clay
and blow on them. And they used to become alive.
He used to obey all ACMA while abrasca were or he'll motor beef
nila, as Allah mentions in the Quran.
So he mentioned that whenever he wanted to bring something back to
something to life is a high yield consume, he would use ill high
because he means the living one, we need to call Unto Allah with
the right name. So he's calling bale hay. And that is what was so
powerful that he could bring it back to life.
I don't know if that's gonna work for us. If we want to revive, you
know, like the car is not working, you're hating and then try to
revive it.
We're not going to bring the dead back to life. But maybe a dead cow
we can hopefully try to bring back to life in sha Allah try it next
time. Because the names of Allah very powerful. Depends on your
Tawakkol why not?
There was one Jamaat they were going through in Pakistan and they
had a Lenten oil Lenten.
And oil finished. So the Lenten went out pitch dark.
What they're going to do now.
So they all made dua, and then the Emile the leader of the group, he
said, You know what, let us say Bismillah everybody read Bismillah
everybody do some dhikr of Allah and we'll put water in sha Allah,
Allah will allow. So they did this and it came to light. They were
able to like there was one brother in New from Scotland. He was there
when he heard this story. So he went to the USA engineering mind
yet he went to the markets to look for a lamp. He was from England
from the UK, he didn't see a lamb before. But now he found a lambda.
So he looked inside and he saw you know, you have a week in the lamp,
the thread so
it doesn't go all the way down to the bottom.
From the bottom it stays up a bit. So there must have been oil inside
some kerosene which is very light. When you put water the kerosene
goes up right so that's where he lived but Allah put that in the
mind
so now
he Saudi salaam he used to say yeah, how are you?
And that is how he used to bring the dead back to life. Asif IGNOU
Bahia Asif IGNOU Bahia he was the one in Salvarsan, who's
A time who said I can bring you the Arsh the throne of, of
Maltese, before you blink of an eye
to slay man Ali salaam
yatta yatta Yom is what he used Allahu Allah and that's what he
mentioned. He used that that was his verse.
And when the Bani Israel the Israelites when they asked Musa
alayhis salam, what is the smaller one of them? He He told them, it's
a higher
shutter higher.
Which is, I'm not sure if I'm even saying this right, I was unable to
confirm. But this is probably the Hebrew for your high yield to you.
For your high you use the same names of Allah you're calling on.
That's why it's mentioned that this is the dua of the people of
the ocean. If they fear that they will drown they read your hate you
Yeah, can you Oh, giver of life or a living one? Oh, sustainer of
everything. It's a very powerful do as you can understand. So I'll
tell you, I already described to you what it means. It means the
one who takes care administrators, everything who is in charge of
everything. That's what a human refers to. Nothing is hidden from
him. And he is completely and fully in charge of everything. You
know, if you are, in fact in that forget our businesses forget
anything else, even in our own houses. And for the sisters,
right? Even in your own fridge or freezer, you will probably not
know everything that is in the
US especially if you got one of those deep freezes. Many homes
have the extra ones in which you have three, four or five months of
supply. Right, your mouse and samosa and everything else, right?
You sometimes forget what's in your own fridge.
That's why sometimes you end up in your own company find Hey, this
has gone out of date. Because you forgot you had it. You go to the
shop and you buy some you bring it Oh, I already had one. You forget
what is in your own house, in your own cupboard, in your own drawer
in your own fridge. But for Allah subhanaw taala know,
he knows everything at any time. Despite how many things there are.
That's why Omiya is not to be solved one of the famous poets who
said lum doc lucky summer or when Lulu was Shem Suma Cameroon yaku
could cut Dora who Haman KU will hash through will Jana to win now
emo in larly.
of evil. What that means is the heavens and the stars were not
created, or the sun with the moon on their own standing.
It was the more Haman Allah subhanaw taala. That's his name
Bulma Haman, who the more Haman and the KU, the Sustainer
he is the one who predestined them and decreed them. And also the
hash of the gathering, the Jana and the bounties of Jana.
He did all of this. They were all created the Amarin Shatner who are
the mu for a reason or a purpose, whose status is very high. That's
what they were created for him by hockey relates that he says he
relates from the oreonna tafsir.
About Ultra UMX that this could also refer to somebody for the one
who does not sleep well who Allah de la Anna. But maybe they're just
taking this from Allah Allah, Allah, Allah Europa, you've
learned that who sent it to Allah No. Just one Alka UMX refers to
then Allah subhanaw taala says that who who sent it to Allah No,
no sleep, no slumber overcomes Allah subhanaw taala
there's no way that Allah will ever sleep. And the reason why
this had to be mentioned is because human beings have their
own experience. You can stay awake for 10 hours, 12 hours, 15 hours.
And if you're really excited, and there's some very important work,
you will stay awake for even 24 hours. Maybe you will stay awake
for 48 hours. But you know, you must get some sleep now.
Human beings
relate very strongly to sleep. And sleep is important. You know from
a neurological perspective, if you don't sleep the neurons in the
mind they don't come back together it causes problems. That body
needs to rest all the rest of it so we human beings fall asleep is
very important. We can't understand anything that doesn't
need to sleep.
That's why Allah had to make this very clear that just because Allah
is looking after everything. He doesn't need to take arrest.
Forget arrest, forget fall asleep. He won't even slumber is not law.
like he is.
Some people are still on painkillers. There's one person I
know and they drink, high caffeine Red Bull. They have caffeine
tablets to stay awake when they have to have a long drive or to
have an examination. Allah doesn't need any of this stuff. Just He
doesn't sleep is high. He is the Ever Living One who is never
overcome by even slumber. That's what he refers to.
So now
what is the difference between lotta hallucinatory Sinnott
unknown? No Miss full sleep syndrome is that slumber?
It says that if it's just in the eyes, where you're just eyes are
droopy. That is Cynodon.
When it gets to the heart, and you're overcome finish, then it's
known.
In Arabic you have words for everything. So Cynodon they say is
actually when the head feels heavy.
No us. No us is another word in Arabic, that is when effects the
eyes and no is when effects the heart and you go.
So you you get into bed and you start feeling sleep. And if
something doesn't let you sleep afterwards, you get half asleep.
In other words, it is a weakness that overcomes a tiredness, a
weariness, a weakness that overcomes
the human being, but you don't fully realize you don't fully lose
your uncle. In your sleep. You don't have any alcohol, you know,
because you're asleep. But no analyst is when you're halfway
there. That's what it means.
What it means here for Allah subhanaw taala is that there is
nothing that will affect him and make him weary and weak or not in
charge. He is always fully comprehensive. There is a slight
alienation. God knows best if it's even if Luca theory is related as
unquote, to be as related this as well. Allah knows best whether it
is true or not. But what it says is that Abu Huraira the Allah on
relates that I heard the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi salam
relating from Musa alayhis salam who was on the member, Musa Islam
said that it came to my mind it crossed my mind a question that
doesn't Allah sleep or not.
So then Allah sent him an angel, who kept him awake for three days.
For three days it kept him awake. Allah knows best bet best whether
this hadith is Sahai or not, okay, I'm just mentioning to what
they've related, because the wisdom of it I want to use
then he then the angel gave him two glasses to hold. And he said,
You must hold these and make sure you don't drop them.
But he starts feeling sleepy, what's going to happen?
So he said, eventually he dropped them.
And that was to show that this was to prove that nothing in the
heavens and the earth has gone out of its system, it's still perfect,
it's still working, which means Allah is still awake.
This proves that Allah is always awake. He is not overcome by sleep
or slumber and thus that's why Alhamdulillah the Nirvana of the
world works.
Now, what's very interesting is that AYATUL kursi you know, there
was something that happened because of which this idea came
down. What happened is the Quraysh they said that Manna Buddha whom
the reason we worship the stones, the idols is because they take us
to Allah. We don't have direct access to Allah, they are agency
for Allah subhanaw taala that's why this verse was revealed that
Lahu Martha's summer, what you wanna fill out for him is
everything in the heavens and earth.
He doesn't need agents, they all belong to him. He doesn't need
anything directly. No sleep, no slumber over comes in. So why
should you have to worry about going through someone else go
direct to Allah subhanaw taala. He can take care of everything.
Mandala, the Ashfur are in the hotel lobby evening, who can
intercede on the Day of Judgment who is going to intercede except
with this permission? The reason is Janet is his jahannam. His his
the Day of Judgment is his he is the sovereign of the Day of
Judgment. Maddie Kiyomi Diem. On that day, there's going to be
people who will have sin. There's going to be people who will not
have enough good deeds, there will be people who will be destined for
jahannam. So the people who have good deeds, the people who are
entered into Jannah, the pious ones the righteous one Mottaki in
the Gambia, the mousseline, the shahada, the salah here in the
city when they will be given the right to intercede for others go
and look for your friends.
That's why Wallah yes fair owner in learning manual Tada when they
intercede they will
still only be able to intercede for whom Allah allows they will be
given permission to intercede and then permission only for who Allah
allows. Everything is in the hands of Allah subhanaw taala on that
day, okay, yeah, and then mama been a de mama Khalifa.

They cannot encompass and gather
any part of his knowledge.
They cannot encompass any parts of his knowledge except the amount he
wishes for them. He will only give you as much as he wishes. Now he
says me che him in ill me he is attributes. You can't divide it so
you can't take from somebody else's knowledge knowledge you
take from his what he knows the martlew Maths, the things which he
knows you take from there. So that's what this means. They
cannot encompass everything that Allah knows.
Except only that much that Allah gives them. That's what it is.
Law. Yeah, he don't appreciate you mean Martin lumati
This is like how they're Alayhis Salam. You know the famous story
of Haider Ali Salaam and Musa Ali Salam.
What happened is there was a pigeon.
So a pigeon packed its beak into the water. How big is a pigeon?
How big is its beak? How big is the river and the ocean?
And Peter said
my knowledge and your knowledge does not take from Allah's
knowledge, except as much as this bird has taken from this water.
Like how many drops is that? Nothing.
That is how much we can know from Allah has knowledge because Allah
knows everything. The only one who had the greatest amount of
knowledge that Allah gave him was the Prophet salallahu Alaihe
Salam,
what's your accuracy you will somehow it will out
his kursi is expensive over the heavens and earth.
If not, a circuit has related in his study from idea to the Allahu
Allah rasool Allah Allah some said, the courtesy of Allah is a
pearl. The column, the pen is a pearl. The length of the column is
700 years. The length of the kursi is only Allah knows. That's how
big this is, from the perspective of this world.
700 years distance if you'd go for 700 years, how long will it take
how much distance it will cover?
Hama Dibner Salama he relates from YBNL Masuda de Allah one, that if
you look at the heavens, between every two of the seven heavens, no
we can just about see the first heaven if we're lucky, right?
Between every two heavens is the distance of 500 years distance
between the seventh heaven and the kursi, which is above that is
another 500 years. It's just It's mind boggling.
And between the kursi and the Arash is another 500 years, we're
just talking about the kursi, the arch is even greater.
There are some people when they they are Muslims, they believe in
Islam, for what they look at the Quran, they interpret all of these
things they can't understand that they say could see just means
knowledge.
There is no real course.
You know, now, what the Imam put it to be mentioned is that why
should you have a doubt about it just because you can't see it? You
know that the universe is so mighty, so majestic, that we
haven't even been able to understand everything. So if you
can't even see beyond, nobody knows what's in a black hole, for
example, then why should you deny it just because you can't see it?
That the quadrotor of Allah subhanaw taala has enough space
for a kursi there's nothing wrong with that. So why don't you
believe it? It's Iman with this is why if this is we believe in this
our Aqeedah Abu Musa Allah Shalida the ALLAH and he describes that
you know what is the origin what is the kursi now remember,
according to this, the Kersey is not a chair,
genuine recite Kersey course is a chair
the Arash is the place of sitting, the arches the throne, the kursi
according to many of the others,
including a Musashi is moldable codomain. Whenever you have a
throne, you have a special place to put the feet, the foot
pedestal, that is the kursi.
That is what is referred to as the kursi. So the arch is even greater
than that.
That's why Bay hockey, Mumbai hockey relates that it's been
related to us from Hypno Abbas or the Allah one.
That the courtesy is the place from a throne where the feet would
generally go.
But of course, we don't say that Allah uses that to sit on because
Allah doesn't need a place to sit.
And if you believe that Allah sits on his artist, and where was he
before He created the arch, whereas it's agreed upon that he
created the arch. So our belief of the unsuitable Gemma is that the
Arsh is physical Arash, but it is the sign of his supreme power and
His greatness and His kingdom and dominion. Not that he needs it to
sit on. And it would be blasphemy of Allah to say he sits on the
earth, because it shows that then he is he is smaller than the RS
can be contained within his own mouth. Look, this causes a lot of
problems. So this is from the Motorshow Behat we leave it to
Allah subhanaw taala and we say that Allah is not in need of
sitting anywhere, or resting anywhere.
There is a narration number of generations that Ibnu gelida
Tabari even no matter the way numerous others have narrated the
prophets Allah some asked year above
the heavens, the seven heavens in comparison to the kursi is just
like a ring, you know, a ring thrown into a desert.
Imagine the desert, one ring in there, how big is that ring
compared to the desert? How small is that? That is the same as the
seven heavens compared to the kursi that's the size
and the fadul the greatness the superiority of the arch then over
the kursi
is like the superiority of that desert over that piece that rink.
That's amazing.
Numerous generations that tell us of the same thing. What we
understand from here is that Elon Kudarat Allah azza wa jal it's the
it's the greatness of Allah subhanho wa taala. And then the
great part is that Allah Wallah Yeah, who have the Houma, which is
the final part of this Wallah. Yeah. Oh do it doesn't burden him.
It doesn't make him tired. It doesn't wear him. It doesn't. It
doesn't tie him out to look after this. First Allah describes how
great his kingdom is just by talking about Darsh just by
talking about the cool sea and then he says that it doesn't tie
him out to look after the cool see, if it doesn't time him out to
look after the kursi then how is he going to tie him out to look
after the rest of
Kingdom the seven heavens under under earth?
That's why
then Allah subhanaw taala finishes by saying, Wallah, yeah, hoo hoo
hoo hoo, wah wah hoo, well Ali, you love him. He is the ally and
the RV. That's what Allah finishes this with. Now, you know, in the
Quran constantly, some places will who will have food Rahim will who
are semi or naughty. There's some Orientalist. They say that, you
know, these, these are just to make it sound beautiful. They
don't really have a meaning. They have a meaning. But they're not.
They're just to make it look beautiful. You know, when you
write something and then you add a few nice designs here and says for
that, but that's so wrong. Every time this is used, it's used for a
particular reason. Ollie, you love him. Allah is the high and mighty,
of the the Great and Majestic. It's perfect with this is to show
Allah Allah is High, not in terms of
space and position that he is above and this is below because
then it's like he's part of the universe. Because if He is above
the universe, and where is he you know, that gets complicated and
that becomes problematic. That's why what it means is, who will
ally you loving Him, which means he is the mighty in his position,
in his status, and in his rank over everything. And he is the
oven he is the most majestic, he is the greatest. He is the
greatest and he's the most majestic.
Some people said Ollie means that he is higher than his creation in
terms of place.
Like this is higher than this.
What if not a year, the great Mufasa of the Quran he says that
her the cold who Jalla Jalla will just see
mean, this is the opinion of those people who want to reduce Allah to
have human like JSON and body anthropomorphise. So this is the
wrong thing to believe about this.
And he says that this is not something that should be said like
this. Abdurrahman ignore code says that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam,
on the night that he went to the Mirage. He heard the test be being
Allah being glorified from the highest summit what? What did he
hear Subhan Allah Hill alley, Allah Subhan Allah Hill, Ali Hill,
Allah, this is a Subhan Allah means
glorified and purified is Allah who is Hi, Al Allah the Most High.
Now, I don't know if there's a word you can use that puts him up
higher than us. Subhan Allah Hill allinial Allah and you know when
you make dua, you should use this by saying Subhan Allah Hill, or
Lee Yeon, or Allah, Allah wa herb
and Wahab, the giver, the greatest giver. So you're saying Glorified
is Allah who is the high, the most high, but the greatest giver? And
what you're trying to say by this is Oh Allah give me that's why a
lot of other ma when they make their dua they start with the
Subhan Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah wa and then they ask Allah
that's that's remember the Subhanallah Hill, Ali Hill al
Wahab the greatest giver, the wah wah wah means to give. So that's
Subhanallah Hill, Allah Allah, Allah subhanahu wa taala. This is
what he had heard when he went to the ascension. That is what was
being that was one of the test bees being said above there
because that is the highest of the world and that's what they were
glorifying Allah subhanaw taala with
May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us the baraka and the blessing of
this verse Alhamdulillah as we mentioned in the beginning, most
of us teach our children this and we learned it from a young age.
Now inshallah we know the meaning and let us take this meaning and
explain it to our households today of what why is this verse so
great? Why every believer has it, and every time we enter the house,
we will recite it so the shayateen leaf and every time we are in
trouble, we recited inshallah will get respect. And every time we
recited after a morning and evening, especially after the five
prayers, we will stay in protection. May Allah subhanaw
taala grant us that protection while he read Darwin and hamdu
