00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			Of, 2 issues that the Allah
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			is with us
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			and that the Allah
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			is above the throne? Okay.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			There is a verse in the Quran that
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			says, He
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			is with you wherever you are.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			And then we have other ahadith and other
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			ayan from the Quran
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			to show us that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			is above his throne.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			How can we combine between the 2? And
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			there's a lot of controversy regarding it.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45
			Before I mentioned the actual narration that combines
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			between the 2,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			we need to know brothers and sisters that
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			we must announce saying that Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			Ta'ala is everywhere,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			and leave it like that unrestricted.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			What does that mean? That Allah is everywhere.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00
			And everywhere is what? The toilet, the sewage.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			Allah
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			is in the feces. Allah
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			is everywhere and anywhere.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			And we must have keep it unrestricted like
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:07
			that.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			That Ayah itself, brothers and sisters,
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			when we look at the beginning of the
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			Ayah and at the end of the Ayah,
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			what is he speaking about?
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			He's speaking about hail.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:21
			Allah says,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			Do you not know that Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:30
			ta'ala knows
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			what's in the heaven and
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			the beginning of the ayah is speaking about
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			what? Il, knowledge. And the end of the
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			ayah is speaking about il again.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			So what the scholars said in order to
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			combine because we can't just take one and
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			leave the other. We have to get the
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			ayat and try to reconcile between them all.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:09
			Now the world
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			win us through his knowledge.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			Topics, we have the Quran and the Sunnah.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			Right?
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			And whose understanding do we take? Do I
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			take my understanding?
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			My uncle?
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			My granddad? My teacher? My chef?
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			Because we know
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			that
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
			the people's intellects, they differ. Everybody has different
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			levels of intellect.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			And because of this today, brothers and sisters,
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			we see there is a big signal amongst
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			the ummah.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			People wanna use their brain to explain or
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			interpret a certain line.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			Rather, that we should that which we should
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			stick to is not my understanding or your
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			understanding or understanding of the Sahaba.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:15
			How they understood these Mus'us. They lived with
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam, and they
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			lived what was being revealed upon him.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			When we now look
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			at how the companions, they understood this issue
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			of whether Allah kept you or whether Allah
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			took off his throne.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:27
			Abdullah
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			is above his throne,
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			and he knows what you are above.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			See how he combined between the 2.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			Is it an ordinary person saying this?
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			Rod is a great companion. Right? And you
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			know, Abdullah ibn Abdul Jabez said when he
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			came to the tafsir of the Quran,
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:58
			he was.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			Him and ibn Abbas,
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			they were higher when it came to other
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:04
			companions.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			And even one time, Abdullah ibn al
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			There's not a person upon except that I
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			know where it came down and who it
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			came down upon.
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			There is someone
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			who knows more than me about the Quran
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			and the right in Kamal can read it,
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			I would have took my right in Kamal
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			and I would have come.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			This Abdullah was commenting
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			on this verse.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			So he takes precedence over my,
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			my intellect, or someone else is going to
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			come and give interpretation of the Quran.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			I love it, my brothers and sisters.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			So this is how we combine between the
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			2, and this is our position when it
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			comes to the Asma, the names and attributes
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that we speak
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:05
			to the Quran and the Sunnah
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			Your families go you don't marry off. She's
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			boasting to the rest of the wife.
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			Are you with me, brothers and sisters?
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			So Zayd bin Jahash is saying, Allah called
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			me Marika from they should say from everywhere.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			From me? Focus on this.
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			Now when Allah is the wajun knows this,
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			again we have another salaf,
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			another great companion, a Sahabiya
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			commenting on this issue. And that's what we
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			stick to when it comes to all these
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:04
			aspects. I'm named Anadu Bismillah Alaihi wa jal.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:07
			Done. Sheikh, we know that this, the question
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			about the third issue
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			That's when it comes to,
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:20
			kifa stawah.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			When he's talking about the kafiyyah.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:23
			Okay?
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			You know Allah subhanahu wa'ala was gonna do
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			this well? Allah subhanahu
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			wa'ala that rose up on his throne.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			Did he tell us anything else how he
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:33
			got it?
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:34
			No.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:36
			When Imam Ali
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:39
			was asked, he was asked the question,
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			how did he
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			rise above the throne?
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			This is what we don't get involved in.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			What Allah told us, we stick to it.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			Don't ask how,
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:50
			why
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			you know, whatever does not happen in.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			So, Imam Malik
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			responded by saying,
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:02
			when can you fear
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:03
			to?
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			Sir. The fact that Baba rose over his
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			throne is known. How it happened, it is
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			not known. Because they don't have the Torahs.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:15
			And to ask the question of how, it's
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:15
			an innovation.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:19
			Because the companions never asked this question, rather
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20
			they used to take it literally.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:24
			Be the zen and Arabic, move in.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			Allah told them in a, you know, with
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			a Arabic tongue. He told him like that.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			The the prophet told them. Hamas, they took
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:32
			him like that. This really
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:34
			no.
