That is mentioned.
So if these kind of scenarios clear,
right?
And now, this is a very very important
matter.
This matter is very very important.
Right?
We mentioned previously what the
Allah created everything. So
from the
format is
that
Allah created everything. He created your action.
So under Allah
statement, Allah
goes what? Allah
created everything. What goes under it?
The good and also the evil
How do we put this together?
These ayat that talk about
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala having created
everything, the good and the evil of it.
And the statement of the promise
The evil doesn't go back to you.
It's a it's a confusion that a person,
he might become confused
about this matter because the of it, the
apparent of it shows what? Contradiction.
Then the Ayah, Allah
created everything,
the good of it and also the evil
of it.
That's one Ayah, and now the prophet
say, the evil doesn't go back to you.
So it's a bit of
a confusion,
dilemma. It looks like that the Musos are
contradicting each other.
But know one thing Ikhwani,
the Musos,
the Quran and the sunnah, they never ever
contradict.
It's only a deficiency in our minds, in
our intellects
that's not able to put
the
matters
together.
But the mussars, they never ever contradict Ishaba.
They always go in accordance
to some extent.
So how do we explain this?
How do we explain
the statement of the
prophet And now listen up to what is
to say.
And if a person wants to understand this,
a lot of occurrences that happen in your
life
from the
the
afflictions,
the harms that reach you,
you would be able to deal with it
and have a correct understanding towards
it.
There is nothing that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
creates
that is pure evil.
That's the first thing.
There is nothing that Allah
creates
that is pure cut evil.
So the evils that are taking place around
us,
from the killing of the children
and the killing of the women,
and a woman
losing 3 children in a car crash,
or a woman having a miscarriage.
Nothing that Allah
has created is pure cut
Every single thing that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
creates,
you have what Nihmah Allah
is by the wisdom of Allah
Even though
even though
that it might look to some people
It might look to some people, it being
It being evil.
It has his fair portion of
So when an evil takes place, when an
evil takes place,
even though from the apparently it looks to
us, the human being, that is somehow is
evil,
but it has the old in it.
But the, we might not know about it.
What does Allah
say? So this matter, we have to put
it in accordance to an important
and it is an
It is a important
foundation,
in this matter. While subhanahu wa ta'ala
says, And perhaps you dislike something, but it's
good for you. And
perhaps, the Allah says,
And perhaps you really like and love something.
It is subjective evil. It is subjective.
As for the complete evil, the evil in
totality,
Then also
is free from this.
And also
is exalted from this.
And this is a time of evil that
we can't
refer it back
to
Allah So we only say, as
Ibn Taym Rahmatullah
says, So you only
ascribe it to Allah
partly
and not in his totality.
What does Allah
say in
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
say in sort of messaged, Either you ascribe
it to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
or you say Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala created
everything.
But you don't say this evil is from
Allah
Is that more clear? You don't ascribe the
evil in totality to
Allah say
Allah created all of it, the good and
evil of it, or you ascribe it to
Allah
from the demon that you created.
From the evil that you created,
or
you keep it generally inshallah.
So it's the fake one.
So
These kind of examples now will make
this passage or this information that we just
learned much more clear.
3 kids died now in a car crash.
3 kids have passed away.
The only one that remains in the mother.
From that part of it is what? Evil.
From the apparent of this is what? Evil.
3
kids
free from any sin.
They haven't even hit the age of puberty.
They die in a cockroach.
And the only one that lives is what?
The mother.
To us it looks what? Evil.
How can Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala do this?
How can Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala allow
these kids to
die in a car crash, and the only
one that lives is the mother?
Little do we know what?
That these kids,
had they grown up,
they would have taken the mother to her?
The jahannam.
They would have been ungrateful to her, They
would have busied
her. From what? The
Your kids and your wealth are a fitna.
Only Allah
knows.
And we don't know that if these kids
have lived, what
they would have done to their parents.
And look at his other hadith, the prophet
Muhammad
Never does a woman have 3 kids,
and these 3 kids they pass away,
except that this is now a hijab from
the now.
It is a screen.
It protects her from the fire.
So if a mother now has 3 kids
and they die
or she has 3 miscarriages,
it is now a screen, a protection from
the fire.
Little did we know that maybe Allah
has
Jannah
due to her patience
that she's mostly 3 kids. So this kaihbod
explains the scenario.
That sometimes while
Allah
might do something, and from that part it
looks evil to us.
But Allah something else is good for you.
And this is also the story of Fiddler.
When he killed that boy,
what did the
prophet say?
The
the boy that killed,
he was soon to be from the kufar
Had he lived, he would have put disbelief
and also in gratitude to his parents.
And his parents were what? Believers.
And we were scared. We were vivid that
he would now bring ungratefulness
and disbelief to his parents.
So if you understand around the hikmah, where
Allah
looks at it from,
and how our minds are
are deficient.
And sometimes we don't see a hikmah
because our intellects
can only think to a certain extent.
Even the Shaiban,
the Shaiban.
Can we say the presence of shaitan is
purely evil?
Yes, shaytan is the Iblis,
the biggest kafir,
the biggest arrogant.
Nobody has more arrogance than him.
Can we say now the presence of the
shaytan is pure evil?
What happens now when the shaytan whispers in
a person's mind?
He knows Mahasi, he sins,
he goes and does what? Maybe it's enough,
he steals and he does this.
But when this now, this individual
who remembers Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
Allah And then he makes
what came out of it? What does Allah
say?
Allah loves those that make talk with him.
So this is a statement
that Allah
doesn't create
anything that is purely evil. Even the president
of shaitan does claiming it because sometimes we
send, Judaism is misplaced, and we make talk
to Allah
That happened to
me. Back in London, when I used to
live in London,
I used to live in a place called
Camden.
And in that time,
that place,
Generation after generation after generation, there was gangs.
Samoying brothers, Arab brothers,
they're committing over chaos day and night.
The parents had enough.
This has been going on media for over
40 years. The generation comes, the youngest come
after that.
And the youngest, they have youngest. And the
youngest have youngest, 4 generations.
And it's it was as if the parents,
they were losing hope altogether.
What happens?
A very close friend of mine gets shot.
Evil We
see to be what? Something that is evil.
Maybe if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't
be sitting here today,
and the lot of the prophets that left
the streets that day,
they wouldn't be doing what they're doing today.
So as soon as they were shot, everybody
walked off the streets.
All the gangs,
all these generations,
they started using their brain to bits.
They started making me think, do I wanna
end up like this? People went to Egypt,
people went to Saudi, people went to Yemen
to go study their religion.
So the whole point is what? From the
apparent, he looked to us
to be someone that is evil,
but then it was the reason why many
many
people,
they left the streets and they changed their
lives for the good.
A friend of mine, he was visiting in
a cockroach.
He never used to pray.
He never used to pray.
As soon as he got into the car
crash, he started remembering Allah
What did he start doing after the car
crash? He started praying. He started what? Being
obedient to Allah
So that evil that took place, That
evil that took place,
it made him remember Allah
and came out of it.
And sometimes maybe even the miscarriage,
the divorce that takes place between the man
and the wife.
Sometimes they can't
understand
They've got so much problems.
They've got so much
issues between them.
When the divorce takes place,
the husband begins to think, the wife begins
to think,
And if they ever get married again, they
will try and abstain
from the things that their ex spouse used
to hate them for.
And it helps them have a better relationship
with
the new person that he found.
So all of these are just examples that
help us understand this.
So now, when Stephen Fry,
this atheist,
who is very very dangerous with Shuba hat,
his doubts.
He has maybe over a 10,000,000, 10,000,000 views
on some of his videos.
If you go on YouTube, I'm not telling
you to go on because I don't need
to get the shoe behind.
You find that he has so many views,
and he's misleading so many Muslims.
Brothers, even Somali brothers
who lived in Ishmael.
One of the was telling me, he's sitting
with one of them.
He's debating with one of them. This guy
is saying to him, if your Lord is
really
He is the most merciful one, Then why
on earth is your Lord not doing anything
about all his kids dying? This war taking
place over there in Syria, and this war
taking place in Libya, and this war taking
place in Egypt. Why is the world not
doing anything?
So they try to use analogy.
When there's a person being stabbed in the
road, what happens? The people they say, what
do we do?
They go and try and stop it. The
guy that's being beaten up, you find people
start rushing towards this individual.
And they get him off this person.
They tried to stop the fighting that's taking
place.
So if there was really a road,
the human being would normally stop this. Why
is the road allowing this to take place?
And this takes us back again to the
higher.
Perhaps you dislike something and it is good
for you. And perhaps you like something, it
is bad for you.
Allah
knows, and you don't know.
How many times do we see
this guy, he wants to get married to
that girl? He's trying, he's trying, he's trying,
he's trying.
And it doesn't work out.
Why? Because the 8 mom Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala, maybe if he got married to her,
there there would have been problems.
Maybe they wouldn't have understood.
And the lady he finds out, oh, that
girl, she had this characteristic, she had this,
she did this, she did that.
So he thinks,
Is that clear khan?
So is the Masayl al Khadr
clear and some of the atheists?
Do you understand now the angle that
one can come from to maybe,
disconnect
any of these
shubaha that these people are bringing.
If someone, Ikhwan, doesn't understand, please ask the
question.
He's shy to ask. He's scared.
The arrogant one,
he thinks that he's on cloud 9, that
he knows everything. He doesn't need to know
anything else, so he will never
ask.
And I'm prophetessih Khan. I just quickly give
an advice in regards to this important matter
about seeking knowledge.
And we need this time and time again,
When we seek knowledge and we put all
this effort in,
it is not easy.
Shasmukh
used to say,
that if I had the ability to take
the knowledge and pour it in your mouth
like water, I would have done it.
I would have done it if it was
that simple.
But knowledge doesn't happen except with what?
The
scratching of the knees.
Meaning, you're sitting down and your knees being
scratched,
and you're going through hardship.
And once a person now becomes involved in
knowledge,
Look how people, they chase
the pleasure of people. All they care about
is what?
Being seen as people to be great, to
be high.
That's how the people, they see it.
And this is what the people they may
be chase after.
Allah
is telling you, on
your
there will be certain people
due to their accordance
and how they
stuck on to the knowledge in the Quran.
Allah
will train the people, due to the accordance
to the Quran, and other people will be
humiliated.
The elevation
that we're looking for in the dunya, the
prophet
says to you,
Allah
raises those
who believe in all who have imam,
and then who have knowledge.
Why do we always hear about Imam Al
Bukhari,
Imam Ahmed?
Why do we always hear these names?
Is it because
they chased off the money and they became
the biggest billionaires and the billionaires?
Some of these books that we have here.
Some of these books that we have, Imam
Ahmed, Imam Bukhari, they never had it.
All they cared about was knowledge
after knowledge after knowledge.
