And we have sent it down on 8
blessed night
Allah also
says,
and it will go back to Allah
What's the proof they will go back to
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala?
It's the statement of the prophet salallahu alaihi
wa sallam.
Their religion
of Allah
is going to fade away.
Just like
the color of your or the clothes that
you have is going to fade away.
Until the people, they don't know what sadaqa
is,
what the khesh rituals are,
and they don't know the issues pertaining
to the Sa'an.
So the relation of Al Azzar is going
to fade away. As this is happening now,
the basics of our religion, we don't
have much understanding to.
And as time and time,
we get closer to the end of time,
There will come a time when an old
woman and an old man, they will say,
we met our forefathers upon this kalima.
They used to say
The Quran is going to disappear
and go back to Allah
and arise to him in one
night.
All these letters
that we know about
is going to what wise back to Allah
and no one's gonna know the
and the Quran that we have between us.
So it
will rise back to Allah
And now it shows that this is the
speech of Allah
And if any of the muslims, they seek
your protection,
then give him protection
and send he hears
the
statement of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, the speech
of Allah
And brother and sister, there's very very important
matters that we need to know pertaining the
speech of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
People will come with doubts
to say to you that the Quran is
created.
Same as like, There's another verse in the
Quran.
There's another verse in the Quran. Well,
says, Allah has created
everything.
Has
created everything.
How do we actually tackle this?
Well, we just mentioned that the Quran is
a speech of is not created.
It is the speech of Allah
that is forbidden in reality,
letters,
and also with a voice. And we affirm
that because Allah
said,
We call out to Musa
So calling out,
it necessitates what?
The nidah necessitates
it being done with a loud
voice.
And at the same time, we do not
resemble Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala in his creation.
If we say
Allah speaks, we don't say that Allah speaks
like the creation.
If we are told by Allah we're gonna
come into this later insha'Allah
as well, that Allah has a hand.
Without similarizing
or resembling Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to his
creation. There's a statement in the Quran, at
least, like, with the issue also miracles said.
Nothing is like Allah
and his own hearing is all seeing.
And we
don't know this
Then how can we claim to know Allah
when we wanna get married?
When we want to get married or we
wanna start a job,
you find that one that's the best possible
research.
So he's able to what?
Feel comfortable with the person that he's dealing
with.
And the right of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
is to know him, to study his names
and attributes, to know who he is.
If we don't know the
characteristics,
and the Sifa'at, the attributes of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala, how can we claim to know
Allah How can we claim to know the
and the Islamic faith? It's an obligation, and
we have
fulfill
the servitude that Allah
has asked us to do. To worship Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So basically worshiping
a lot that we don't know anything about.
That's why the topic of Al Asma was
Sifat is important. So you know who your
Lord is.
So that you're able to recognize your Lord
on your.
So we notice the fact now, and there
will be things that Israel will come until
later, where Allah
for example will
uncover his shim on your If
you don't know what's going on, then how
do you expect to know the realities of
what's gonna happen on your
So what that means was speaking about was
the speech of
Allah not having been created in a statement
of Allah
If we was to say no, that Allah
has created everything
and say that under this goes with the
Quran.
And pay attention here. Allah says he has
created everything.
Means everything.
Rather, we believe
that the word
the word
The word
everything,
it needs to be placed in this context
and that which
is basically related to that particular topic.
When
the woman
that was king at the time of Surayman
alaihis salam,
she was known as,
She said,
or the hulhul said to Surayman,
She was given everything. Does that mean she
was given the heavens and the earth and
everything else?
Or was she only given that which
a king can only be given?
So it is basically put in its context
and that which is related to.
And also Allah
has called himself
Allah
has called himself
So we say Allah
has created everything, then that will
necessitate that
Allah has created himself. He's created himself.
Or he's created Allah Allah has created himself
for all.
We know
that
diverting
any sort of
to is a form of shirk.
If I make to someone else, I put
into what? I put into shirk.
If
I
do
not
all of these other things
that are known to be from the Ibadat.
And I'll elaborate on this inshallah.
If we now divert into Abidul Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala, it is a form of shaykh.
If I start making dua to Abidul Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, or ask him, Allah
upon his shirk.
Unless
these three condition are fulfilled.
That
that person is
He's
alive.
He's able and he's present.
If a brother Gul Ta'iman is standing here
and I'm saying, Yaqi help me out on
this one,
I'm asking and I'm seeking help. Even though
the something is happening to me now. I'm
being pushed, I'm being hit. I'm being punished.
And I call up to someone,
and I ask him to remove the that
is basically happening to me.
But he's the creation. As long as the
person is what?
That is fine.
So if
the speech of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala was
created,
then why would the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam learn
seek refuge
in that which was created.
Something that is not living, something that is
what? Created,
something that is what? Not present
or not able.
The prophetess of Allah
said,
I seek refuge
in the perfect
words of Allah
We can only seek refuge in Allah Why
did the promise of Allah now seek refuge
in something that is created, if we was
to now say that the Quran is created
and he is doing it?
Are we gonna say that the prophet failed
to shift?
And nobody would ever say this.
So this is not one way to tackle
that the Quran is not created.
The fact that the prophet
he saw refuge in what?
The speech
is
at shows you what? That the speech of
Allah
cannot be created
simply because the prophet
refuged it.
Living,
able, and likewise present.
So the speech of Allah
doesn't have the ability to do anything.
And it's not present, and it doesn't it's
not living. And at the same time, it's
created.
Now, and it's only papers that are there.
Only Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
can aid me and help me.
That why all the prophet is a refuge
in that which is created. That's the whole
point.
And also one other thing that I want
to mention,
And also brothers, sister, this is more like
a lecture. This is more like,
you know, a lesson where we have to
get very very
commerce that haven't come before,
you might find that it'd be difficult trying
to understand or, you know, comprehend.
It is deep
technical issues,
Nayan, that only when one is cutting these
things will be more easy to comprehend.
So,
this is the reason why we became more
technical. If it was maybe given a,
then it wouldn't be as technical and as
academical as this dam.
Then another issue that you might
cause a bit of confusion.
Someone might say now
that
the fact that Allah
can speak if necessities that he has a
throat and a tongue and teeth as well.
Because 1, if you get like a human
being and you take his tongue off, you
take his teeth out,
and you also take his throat out, can
you smell his feet?
So these people therefore and went into tashbih,
similarizing Allah got adversity's creation.
Rather, like we mentioned before, what
Allah has affirmed for himself, we affirmed.
Stop when the people of knowledge have stopped
the They stopped at the
as well as taking
They stopped there and they basically left it
as that. They didn't go into interpreting what
the defeats
his majesty. Not in a manner that defeats
his majesty.
Not like the creation.
Nam,
also a fish has hands. The has a
hand. This for hands.
Would anyone ever come and say that the
human being
is like a fish
or like a door? The hand of a
human being is like the door?
It's hand.
Or will anyone say that the hand of
a monkey is like the hand of a
human being? Nobody would ever say this.
Just like we wouldn't similarize
Allah Sorry. We wouldn't similarize ourselves to the
creation that are lower than us.
Allah
has preferred us over them.
As
Allah
mentioned,
we wouldn't similarize Allah
to ourselves, to the creation.
Just because the same words are used,
the same words are used to maybe describe
a particular thing, it doesn't necessitate
that every single form
is just the exact same.
In a manner that suits his majesty.
Speaks in a manner that suits his majesty
and we leave our
stuff.
Like, like we mentioned before, someone comes up
to you and says,
and I'll conclude the lesson with this. Allah
speaks.
If you must not speak, then we would
have to affirm that Allah speaks. That being
that Allah is a little at the throat,
a light of his teeth, and he also
has a tongue.
We say,
it's funny.
The fact that something can speak,
it doesn't necessitate all these organs.
Allah tells us about the heaven and earth
to
The heavens and the earth, they glorify Allah
and
there's nothing except that it glorifies him. Pay
attention to this word
here.
There's not a thing except that he what?
Glorified and praise the praise of Allah
And there was a stone,
in the time of the prophet
that used to give him
Now I know
that there was a stone,
they used to give salam to me,
before I was sent as a messenger
or as a prophet.
The fact that the stone
can speak, does not necessarily that the stone
has teeth and likewise
a throat and a tongue. It doesn't necessarily
that.
So this thing the Allah's
messenger has told us about, that can speak
glorified
praise,
but at the same time these characteristics and
these organs haven't been affirmed to them.
And likewise, it came in not hadith.
When
Abdullah ibn Mas early said,
We used to eat the food
when we were eating it, glorifying
Allah is glorifying, doing
before it's being it, and
can hear
it. So do we say that the has
teeth, and he has tongue, and at the
same time he has a throat in order
for it to speak or to murmurify
Allah which is not the case.
And
also,
alayraddiallahu
alaihi wa
sallam I'm Makkah. I was with the prophet
sallam alaihi wa sallam Makkah. So
Then was he
or did he run into a mountain
or a tree except that these
things were saying
You Rasulullah.
So the mountain is speaking to Rav The
trees are speaking to Rav Does
anyone with intellect that has a brain
say that the teeth
or the tree has teeth or the mountain
has teeth?
So these Nawazim are absolutely the
internet.
And
this is basically how we explain when it
comes to affirming
the characteristic.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that he did speak,
Allah
spoke
in its reality, he spoke
and then he spoke to Musa
His Lord spoke to him and he called
up to him,
and Allah
will speak
to his messages
when he wants, whenever he wants, how he
wants.
And it's a set path that has been
affirmed,
and confirmed.
And this is one of this is one
of the, issues that Imam Ahmad
was beaten for and whipped for, simply because
he was affirming them. And at the time
you would find that
everyone,
the the people,
they were all saying that the Quran is
what created. Imam Ahmed by himself.
So one time a man came to Imam
Ahmed and he said, yeah, Imam. Is it
possible now that all of these judges, all
of these other scholars, all of these people,
all of these leaders
are wrong and you by yourself are correct?
Which shows you what?
That the
the majority
has no significance when it comes to the
Haqq.
If that was the case,
we would follow what the majority of the
people who do. You find that this from
the
from the matters of ignorance.
Rather in many place in the Quran, you
find Allah
defades the majority.
Allah says, If you was to now follow
the majority
of those upon the land, they will mislead
you and misguide you.
Allah says,
Allah said,
The majority don't believe Allah
accept that they are Mushriks.
And many many
speak to us and tell us about
what? That the majority
The
the congregation
is that
which goes in the corners to the heart.
Even you are by yourself.
But you have to have the haqq. You
have to have the truth.
Not like anyone that just wants to disconnect
himself from that community.
Everyone follow me when in reality what he's
saying is absolutely vital. It's just emotions.
So
Imam Abu Luh said,
if it was as easy,
or if I had the ability to get
the knowledge and just pour it inside your
mouth,
I would have done it.
But knowledge
can only be acquired and gained
with the hardness
and also the rubbing and the scratching of
the knees
and the difficulty that person goes through.
Namr requires hardship, it requires time, it requires
Namr, it requires
Namr hard work.
Next week, we'll be taking matters pertaining
the Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that you've seen
on your Marl Diyama, the place where he's
going to be seen, and also where Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala is. What is the
the when it
comes to Do we say that
the
Do we say that the names and attributes
of Allah from the ambiguous verses?
The verse that are unclear?
As many of those that are in our
time now, they say they say forget about
the Islam and the Sifaat. It is only
ambiguous, so
we don't give any significance to it.
No.
I think I, you you know, took more
than I was expected. And inshallah, I'm gonna
try and catch the train that leaves at
845.
