Aliflamim.

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

Its first position is where the first 1

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06

is in the beginning of the Quran, Surat

00:00:06 --> 00:00:07

Al Baqarah.

00:00:08 --> 00:00:09

What does it mean?

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

Does anyone know what it means?

00:00:12 --> 00:00:13

Allahu Anam. That's the answer.

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

Consensus

00:00:15 --> 00:00:17

among the entire Ummah of Islam, no 1

00:00:17 --> 00:00:18

knows what

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20

it means. And no 1 will ever know

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

what it means in this worldly life. They're

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

gonna ask you a question. When you read

00:00:24 --> 00:00:25

Aliflamim,

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29

do you worship Allah by reading that and

00:00:29 --> 00:00:32

expect 30 hasanat from Allah? 10 for every

00:00:32 --> 00:00:33

letter? Yes. Yeah.

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

So there you go.

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

There is a moment in life

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40

in which you are worshiping Allah

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

by reading something.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:45

You got no clue what it means.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47

Yet you submit and you read it as

00:00:47 --> 00:00:49

Quran and you're worshiping Allah.

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

And that

00:00:51 --> 00:00:52

is training your heart

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

to submit to a command of Allah, even

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

if you got no clue

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

of the wisdom and the reason behind it.

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

It is enough for you to know that

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

every commandment

00:01:04 --> 00:01:05

that is in the Quran and in the

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07

sunnah came from Al Hakim

00:01:08 --> 00:01:08

Al Aleem.

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

They're all knowledgeable, they're all wise. And so

00:01:12 --> 00:01:15

that means that every commandment and every prohibition

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

must be full of knowledge and full of

00:01:17 --> 00:01:17

wisdom.

00:01:18 --> 00:01:21

You see in 1 Quran Al Hakim. Al

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

Quran is full of wisdom in its laws

00:01:23 --> 00:01:26

and prohibitions and everything that he say. The

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

human being is weak. The human being is

00:01:28 --> 00:01:29

intellectually

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30

deficient.

00:01:31 --> 00:01:32

The human being is incomplete.

00:01:34 --> 00:01:34

Allah

00:01:35 --> 00:01:35

is

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36

complete.

00:01:36 --> 00:01:37

Allah

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

is perfect

00:01:38 --> 00:01:41

and everything that comes from Allah is complete

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

and perfect.

00:01:42 --> 00:01:45

Why would you think an incomplete human being

00:01:46 --> 00:01:47

wants to challenge

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

a complete being

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50

in that which he legislated?

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

Abi Allah. Abi Allah, this is a sickness.

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55

This is a sickness. This is an arrogant

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

human being. This is why when Iblis

00:01:59 --> 00:02:00

And he was the first 1

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

to neglect the first command of Allah,

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

when Allah said to you make sujood to

00:02:05 --> 00:02:06

Adam,

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

Allah considered that kibr,

00:02:09 --> 00:02:10

arrogance.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:14

Every commandment you turn away from is arrogance.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:18

Whether you like this word and being labeled

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20

with this word or not, that is the

00:02:20 --> 00:02:20

reality.

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

So, Dhani Ali come and say,

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

That's all it is.

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

And didn't Iblis have a justification with him?

00:02:34 --> 00:02:35

Saying,

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37

but now I am created from fire, he

00:02:37 --> 00:02:40

is created from clay. So let's let's assume

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

let's assume fire is better than clay. So

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

what?

00:02:43 --> 00:02:46

Allah commanded to make a sujda. That's not

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

about who's better and what's better.

00:02:48 --> 00:02:49

It's about there's a commandment.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52

Follow it. No justification,

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

no reason, no complaint, no rubbish.

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58

So anyone, anyone

00:02:58 --> 00:03:01

who receives the Commandment of Allah

00:03:01 --> 00:03:03

and says, I'm not ready for it. I'm

00:03:03 --> 00:03:06

not in the best situation for it. You

00:03:06 --> 00:03:07

don't know what's happening in my life. You

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

don't know the stress I'm going through. You

00:03:09 --> 00:03:11

don't know the difficulty and the calamity I'm

00:03:11 --> 00:03:12

going through.

00:03:12 --> 00:03:15

This is not the time 5. 1llahi

00:03:15 --> 00:03:15

arrogance.

00:03:17 --> 00:03:20

And you are only increasing your calamity upon

00:03:20 --> 00:03:20

calamity.

00:03:21 --> 00:03:21

Allah

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26

says

00:03:28 --> 00:03:29

Whenever they told

00:03:37 --> 00:03:40

Allah labeled their rejection with 1 word. He

00:03:40 --> 00:03:41

said,

00:03:44 --> 00:03:45

They would arrogantly reject.

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48

That's it. That's all it is.

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

So go on find a solution for yourself

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

because that's the reality.

00:03:53 --> 00:03:56

As harsh as it may sound, that's Allah

00:03:56 --> 00:03:56

mercy.

00:03:58 --> 00:04:00

Teaching us you're a human being owned by

00:04:00 --> 00:04:00

Allah.

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

Allah knows you more than you know yourself.

00:04:04 --> 00:04:06

So don't give excuses to Allah.

00:04:09 --> 00:04:10

Allah

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

did not burden us more than what we

00:04:12 --> 00:04:14

can carry. You see all these commandments in

00:04:14 --> 00:04:15

the Quran, He

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

every human being can fulfill them.

00:04:18 --> 00:04:20

No matter what your situation was, didn't I

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

give you the situation of Musa alaihis salam?

00:04:22 --> 00:04:24

He can consider that like the biggest calamity

00:04:24 --> 00:04:25

you're going through.

00:04:26 --> 00:04:27

Did he say, let my life, it's not

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

times now. What am I gonna obey now,

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31

Allah and take a stone and throw it

00:04:31 --> 00:04:32

and cast

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

a stuff onto those see, It's not time

00:04:34 --> 00:04:36

for it. I'm in a huge calamity now.

00:04:36 --> 00:04:38

My life's on the line. Nothing

00:04:39 --> 00:04:41

will save you from your calamity other than

00:04:41 --> 00:04:43

being Allah's command and rushing to it. We

00:04:43 --> 00:04:44

We ask Allah

00:04:44 --> 00:04:47

to instill within our hearts submission to him
