			brothers and sisters, a Salaam
Alaykum Warahmatullahi
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			Wabarakatuh.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			In this session, I would like to
spend some time
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:45
			reflecting on AYATUL kursi which
is the 25th verse from Surah Al
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:49
			Baqarah Chapter Two of the holy
book.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:57
			This was has been considered the
greatest verse in the holy book
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			and it is required reading for us
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			every day before we retire to bed
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:14
			and every time we perform the
salah, after further salah.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			If we read this idea,
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			we have been guaranteed paradise
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			this idea is called the greatest.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			I have the holy book
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			we we ask why.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			The reason is that
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:43
			our of the Quran revolves around
three themes.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:50
			The number one theme the central
theme of the Quran is a Tao heed
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:57
			the Oneness of Allah subhanho wa
Taala and the names and attributes
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			of Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			and
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:06
			belief in the sovereignty of Allah
and His lordship over the whole
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			creation.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:16
			That is the 1/3 of the whole of
Quran and that is why
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:23
			Surah two listless has been called
1/3 of the Holy Quran. Because
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:31
			Surah two listeners is dealing
with Tao heat, it is talks about
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:36
			pure monotheism or pure belief in
the Oneness of Allah subhanho wa
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			taala.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			Either kursi,
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			condense
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:52
			10 phrases, all of them are
describing something of the nature
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:58
			of allows one over kala the nature
of Allah is beyond human
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			cognition.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:05
			Because Allah is incomparable, he
is unique.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:11
			He cannot be compared with editing
of His creation. So how do we know
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			Allah?
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:18
			The only way for us to know Him is
through his own self disclosure,
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:24
			through the revelation, and that
is what we learn
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			from this surah as well as from
the different
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:37
			verses of the holy book 1/3 of the
holy book is telling us about a
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:42
			loved one or whatever, how do we
think about him? How do we
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			conceive of him?
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:52
			So let us read first, this idea,
and then I'm going to translate
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:57
			and explain each of these 10
phrases for us.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:03
			To have that rule reverence for
Allah is one of Allah, who alone
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:10

			And the messenger of Mercy has
conveyed to us. The revelations
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:09

			high and the Great, the
tremendous.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:54
			So let us explain each of these
phrase these 10 phrases. First is
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:59
			the assertion Allah there is no
God beside him.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			There is no one worthy of worship
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:09
			and submission except Allah
subhanho wa taala, who alone is
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:16
			the Creator, the Sustainer and
cherish of the words I'll hire he
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			ever living.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:25
			Meaning everything else derives
their life, let's live from the
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:32
			Ever Living from the source of
life, who is our living and who
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			will never die?
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			The believers, Muslims had
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:45
			an experience of this, the meaning
of this profound phrase, when the
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			messenger of Allah passed away
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:53
			Rasul allah sallallahu wasallam
was everything for them is was
		
00:07:53 --> 00:08:00
			more than their father, their
spiritual leader, their teacher,
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:05
			their mentor, the ideal
personality, they look up to
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			Rasulullah sallallahu for
everything
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:12
			after a loved one or Tada, but
when the messenger of Allah passed
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:16
			away, they could not accept that.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:23
			Even though some of the most
intelligent persons like Obama
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:27
			hottub Raleigh allawah know, he
could not accept the fact that
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			Rasulullah Salallahu Salam is
dead.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:36
			So he was ready to talk to anyone
who would say Rasulullah Salallahu
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:39
			Salam is dead. He thought
Rasulullah Salallahu Islam has
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:46
			gone to have an intimate communion
with his Lord, even as Musa
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:50
			alayhis salam had gone for
communion with Allah Spano Tala.
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:58
			So, but as for a move across the
equally low No, he was a more
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:05
			sober person, more wiser person.
He made sure he wants chakra that
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:10
			Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam has
already passed away. He came out
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:16
			and pushed over away. Probably a
low or no. And declare monka Yeah,
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:21
			Boo Boo Hamedan for it. No.
Muhammadan cardbox whoever has
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:25
			been worshipping Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa salam. Let
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:29
			him know that Muhammad is dead.
Some of Allahu alayhi wa salam
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:35
			among khariar Badulla for in
Namaha EULA your moot. Hoover has
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:40
			been worshipping Allah subhanho wa
Taala let him know that Allah is
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:47
			Ever Living and he will never die.
So that is Allah Allah never dies.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:53
			There is everything else. Kulu
Manali have fun, everything on the
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			face of the earth will perish will
die.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			But Allah alone will live
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:07
			Whatever I'll call you. The next
phrase is even more deeper.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:14
			Teaching us another dimension of
the divine nature. And are you God
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:18
			is some subsystem, he exists by
himself.
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:23
			Data doesn't exist because of
somebody else's existence is not
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:29
			derived from anyone else, is self
existing. And he's also the self
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:35
			existing source of our beings,
meaning everything else exists
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:36
			through him.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:41
			Here is a refutation of the
philosophy called concept of God.
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:47
			You know, the Greek philosophers
visualize God as utterly
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:55
			transcendent. Their god is all
holy, our perfection, so he's too
		
00:10:55 --> 00:11:01
			high to noble to exalted, to be
involved in learning the universe,
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:07
			that will be an imperfection for
him. So he has let the world move
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			on his own,
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:12
			and more contemplate his own
perfection.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:19
			Islam negates this because Islam
teaches us, the God that we
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:20
			believe in
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:26
			is the creator sustainer and
change of the world. He is
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			involved in the creation.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:34
			Everything exists through him,
everything will depends on Allah
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:40
			subhanaw taala for their continued
existence. So God is in charge.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:45
			God cares for his creation.
Through God alone, everything
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:51
			exists. lotto hallucinatory
Murano, neither slumbers, nor
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:56
			sleep overtakes him. This is
another refutation, another false
		
00:11:56 --> 00:12:01
			idea that crept into some of the
scriptures that conceived of God.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:07
			You know, after creating the wall
for six days, God became exhausted
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09
			and tired and to crust.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:15
			So here Allah subhanho wa Taala in
this phrase, as well as the phrase
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:21
			that comes before the last of the
two phrases, what I owe to him
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:26
			Hello Ma, meaning God is never
exhausted. Go doesn't need rest.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:32
			Gore is far about all of these
imperfect attributes we attribute
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:37
			when God doesn't sleep in Hola
Hola, yo, gnome. What are your
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40
			Molina Who are you know,
Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said,
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:47
			God doesn't sleep, it doesn't fit
befit signature to sleep. So,
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:51
			no mark is somehow what you have
available, or that is in the
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:57
			heavens and the earth belongs to
him alone. Immediate today, the
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:01
			science has discovered the cosmos
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:08
			is in T the size of it. mind
boggling there are billions of
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:15
			galaxies each of the galaxy have
planners. So nobody knows the
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:21
			size, the image size of the cosmos
and nobody knows
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:22
			that nature.
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:24
			How
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:30
			infinity the creation of a loss
one hour Tada. So Allah teaches us
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:34
			all that is in the heavens and the
earth belongs to him.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:39
			When the lineage following the
hula, lovey dovey, who shall dare
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:44
			to intercede before him without
his permission. This is again
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:49
			another refutation, because great
religions, even though they have
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			the concept of oneness of God,
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:58
			they conceive God has like a kin.
You don't go direct to the kin,
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:04
			you go through the intermediaries
so that they made a comparison of
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:08
			God with the kin with the created
be.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:14
			God refutes this idea. Allah want
us to refuse to to disbelieve
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:19
			this, that God that we believe in,
you can communicate directly with
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:23
			him. You don't need any
intermediary to speak to God
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:28
			Almighty. So this is an ultimate
liberation. Because if you look at
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:33
			the great religious traditions,
you know, because they set up
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:38
			human beings as intermediaries,
this great exploitation. Millions
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:43
			of people have been duped by this
kind of superstitious beliefs, and
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:47
			they have been exploited. And
Islam curse at the root of all
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:52
			these misconceptions about word
that no one can intercede without
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:57
			God's permission, and there is no
need for us to go through
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			intermediaries. We can approach
God
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:06
			directly, Yala, Booma by ID him
mama Khalifa home. He knows
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:12
			everything out there that exists
that will exists in the past,
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:17
			present and future. He knows
everything. Nothing happens in
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:20
			this universe without God's
knowledge and will.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:26
			You know, imagine this, the
profound meaning of this, when we
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:33
			are speaking, how many trillions
of life forms are coming alive,
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:37
			bursting forth to life, and how
many are dying
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:43
			and God knows there is not a
single lifars Without going doing
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			it with our last one Rotella doing
it.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:48
			And there is a beautiful
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:54
			story of the dialogue between
huller and Musa he was salam,
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:58
			hello and Musar Islam was standing
on the shore of the ocean.
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:03
			And they saw a small board packing
water
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:10
			Hello, Ali Salam told Musa alayhis
salam, now Musa, the knowledge you
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:14
			have been given the knowledge I
have been given and the knowledge
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:15
			of all of the Creation
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18
			put together.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:23
			If you compare this knowledge that
we Mater's have with the knowledge
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:29
			of God Almighty, that is what this
the size of the drop of water this
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:31
			board has pack for the ocean,
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:36
			as compared to the ocean, of
course, even the oceans or of the
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:42
			oceans together, will not exist.
If they were in and all of the
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:47
			trees were pen. And we were to
write down the wisdom of God
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:51
			Almighty. The wisdom of God
Almighty will not be exhausted.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:58
			The pen will not be able to write
everything in the ocean will re up
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:01
			what are you hate? Would I be
shaking a mineral be healed every
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:02
			Basha.
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:08
			Course knowledge is infinite
incomparable, but the knowledge of
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:14
			human beings, the knowledge of
scientists, social scientists,
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:18
			scientists, philosophers,
theologians.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:25
			All of this knowledge of put
together is nothing. All of this
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:29
			is a gift, pure gift from Allah
subhanho wa taala, who alone is
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:30
			arguing
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:35
			that Muslims scientists have the
wisdom to recognize the
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:41
			limitations of human knowledge. So
no matter what stage when they're
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:46
			made, they will always follow it
up with a common, what Allahu Alem
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:48
			cold prospects best.
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:53
			This is what we know, given the
limited knowledge you have been
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			given.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:59
			And there may be something more
for us to learn, which we'll learn
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:04
			later, which we've discovered
later. Actually, this is how the
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:07
			science also progresses. Because
every time science discovers
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:12
			something, it discovers that there
are a lot more questions to be
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:16
			answered. And then that push
envelope is pushed further.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:21
			What's the accuracy you will
somehow what you will learn is
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:25
			sovereignty pervades and compasses
all of the creation.

God's sovereignty got lordship for

exhaust him. It doesn't tire him
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:48
			because he doesn't need rest. He's
all powerful.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:54
			Whoa, Raleigh, you rollin. He's
all Hi.
		
00:18:56 --> 00:19:04
			All local, all exalted. Ali, the
great tremendous, brothers and
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:08
			sisters. It behooves us in this
blessed month of Ramadan,
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:13
			to strengthen our relationship
with the Quran. And the way to
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:18
			strengthen our relationship with
the Quran is to read it to reflect
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:22
			upon the message. And let the
message soak,
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:29
			imbue our soul transformer soul
with the message. So reading
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:34
			AYATUL kursi, we should fill our
heart with reverence for our last
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:38
			one our Tala and all of these
attributes that God has described,
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:45
			to teach us something of His
divine nature, we should use them.
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:50
			Use them to decipher the science
of God's glory. As we read the
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:55
			Scripture, as we read the book of
nature outside because we have
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:59
			been given two books. One is the
book of Revelation and
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			Another revelation is that nature
with the divine signs are
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:10
			manifested. But for that we need
to open our heart or eyes, our
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:15
			ears or mind to reflect and by
reading the two scriptures
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:22
			together, we will be try seeking
Inshallah, we will be able to see
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:28
			something of the depth of the
Divine book. I would urge you to
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:35
			read it to see every single day as
you wake up, read AYATUL kursi
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:41
			before you will retire Tibet
rewriter kursi rewriter could see
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:44
			the corners of your house, if you
want protection from Allah
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:50
			subhanho wa taala. Read AYATUL
kursi after every farla Salah
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:54
			because the messenger of Mercy
said if you read it, you could see
		
00:20:55 --> 00:21:01
			after every further Salah it's a
guarantee for Paradise. So I will
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:06
			urge you to do that rewriter cracy
for all your children and blow on
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:10
			them and blown yourself for
protection from the last one
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:15
			Rotella because Allah alone is our
powerful, either healer and cure.
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:21
			Surely, we need to take go to
doctors and receive treatments but
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:25
			they can only work with the will
of Allah subhanho wa Taala so let
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:31
			us join the combine the three
kinds of treatment according to

you will have come was Salam
