Ahmad Kutty – Reflections on Ayat alKursi

Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa

salatu salam ala Sayed Lumbee I will do Celine Mohamed Anwar Ali

was a big marine

brothers and sisters, a Salaam Alaykum Warahmatullahi

Wabarakatuh.

In this session, I would like to spend some time

reflecting on AYATUL kursi which is the 25th verse from Surah Al

Baqarah Chapter Two of the holy book.

This was has been considered the greatest verse in the holy book

and it is required reading for us

every day before we retire to bed

and every time we perform the salah, after further salah.

If we read this idea,

we have been guaranteed paradise

this idea is called the greatest.

I have the holy book

we we ask why.

The reason is that

our of the Quran revolves around three themes.

The number one theme the central theme of the Quran is a Tao heed

the Oneness of Allah subhanho wa Taala and the names and attributes

of Allah subhanho wa Taala

and

belief in the sovereignty of Allah and His lordship over the whole

creation.

That is the 1/3 of the whole of Quran and that is why

Surah two listless has been called 1/3 of the Holy Quran. Because

Surah two listeners is dealing with Tao heat, it is talks about

pure monotheism or pure belief in the Oneness of Allah subhanho wa

taala.

Either kursi,

condense

10 phrases, all of them are describing something of the nature

of allows one over kala the nature of Allah is beyond human

cognition.

Because Allah is incomparable, he is unique.

He cannot be compared with editing of His creation. So how do we know

Allah?

The only way for us to know Him is through his own self disclosure,

through the revelation, and that is what we learn

from this surah as well as from the different

verses of the holy book 1/3 of the holy book is telling us about a

loved one or whatever, how do we think about him? How do we

conceive of him?

So let us read first, this idea, and then I'm going to translate

and explain each of these 10 phrases for us.

To have that rule reverence for Allah is one of Allah, who alone

is the creator, the Lord sustainer and cherisher of the words

are the builder who ministry plan and Raja rajim Bismillahi Rahmani

Allah has spoken the truth

And the messenger of Mercy has conveyed to us. The revelations

communicated to him through jiggery salat wa salam.

His power, His sovereignty, his throne, and compasses all of the

heavens and the earth. While I Oh, hello Ma, preserving them. Where

is him not? Well, who will Ollie you love him in the exalted, the

high and the Great, the tremendous.

So let us explain each of these phrase these 10 phrases. First is

the assertion Allah there is no God beside him.

There is no one worthy of worship

and submission except Allah subhanho wa taala, who alone is

the Creator, the Sustainer and cherish of the words I'll hire he

ever living.

Meaning everything else derives their life, let's live from the

Ever Living from the source of life, who is our living and who

will never die?

The believers, Muslims had

an experience of this, the meaning of this profound phrase, when the

messenger of Allah passed away

Rasul allah sallallahu wasallam was everything for them is was

more than their father, their spiritual leader, their teacher,

their mentor, the ideal personality, they look up to

Rasulullah sallallahu for everything

after a loved one or Tada, but when the messenger of Allah passed

away, they could not accept that.

Even though some of the most intelligent persons like Obama

hottub Raleigh allawah know, he could not accept the fact that

Rasulullah Salallahu Salam is dead.

So he was ready to talk to anyone who would say Rasulullah Salallahu

Salam is dead. He thought Rasulullah Salallahu Islam has

gone to have an intimate communion with his Lord, even as Musa

alayhis salam had gone for communion with Allah Spano Tala.

So, but as for a move across the equally low No, he was a more

sober person, more wiser person. He made sure he wants chakra that

Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam has already passed away. He came out

and pushed over away. Probably a low or no. And declare monka Yeah,

Boo Boo Hamedan for it. No. Muhammadan cardbox whoever has

been worshipping Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa salam. Let

him know that Muhammad is dead. Some of Allahu alayhi wa salam

among khariar Badulla for in Namaha EULA your moot. Hoover has

been worshipping Allah subhanho wa Taala let him know that Allah is

Ever Living and he will never die. So that is Allah Allah never dies.

There is everything else. Kulu Manali have fun, everything on the

face of the earth will perish will die.

But Allah alone will live

Whatever I'll call you. The next phrase is even more deeper.

Teaching us another dimension of the divine nature. And are you God

is some subsystem, he exists by himself.

Data doesn't exist because of somebody else's existence is not

derived from anyone else, is self existing. And he's also the self

existing source of our beings, meaning everything else exists

through him.

Here is a refutation of the philosophy called concept of God.

You know, the Greek philosophers visualize God as utterly

transcendent. Their god is all holy, our perfection, so he's too

high to noble to exalted, to be involved in learning the universe,

that will be an imperfection for him. So he has let the world move

on his own,

and more contemplate his own perfection.

Islam negates this because Islam teaches us, the God that we

believe in

is the creator sustainer and change of the world. He is

involved in the creation.

Everything exists through him, everything will depends on Allah

subhanaw taala for their continued existence. So God is in charge.

God cares for his creation. Through God alone, everything

exists. lotto hallucinatory Murano, neither slumbers, nor

sleep overtakes him. This is another refutation, another false

idea that crept into some of the scriptures that conceived of God.

You know, after creating the wall for six days, God became exhausted

and tired and to crust.

So here Allah subhanho wa Taala in this phrase, as well as the phrase

that comes before the last of the two phrases, what I owe to him

Hello Ma, meaning God is never exhausted. Go doesn't need rest.

Gore is far about all of these imperfect attributes we attribute

when God doesn't sleep in Hola Hola, yo, gnome. What are your

Molina Who are you know, Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said,

God doesn't sleep, it doesn't fit befit signature to sleep. So,

no mark is somehow what you have available, or that is in the

heavens and the earth belongs to him alone. Immediate today, the

science has discovered the cosmos

is in T the size of it. mind boggling there are billions of

galaxies each of the galaxy have planners. So nobody knows the

size, the image size of the cosmos and nobody knows

that nature.

How

infinity the creation of a loss one hour Tada. So Allah teaches us

all that is in the heavens and the earth belongs to him.

When the lineage following the hula, lovey dovey, who shall dare

to intercede before him without his permission. This is again

another refutation, because great religions, even though they have

the concept of oneness of God,

they conceive God has like a kin. You don't go direct to the kin,

you go through the intermediaries so that they made a comparison of

God with the kin with the created be.

God refutes this idea. Allah want us to refuse to to disbelieve

this, that God that we believe in, you can communicate directly with

him. You don't need any intermediary to speak to God

Almighty. So this is an ultimate liberation. Because if you look at

the great religious traditions, you know, because they set up

human beings as intermediaries, this great exploitation. Millions

of people have been duped by this kind of superstitious beliefs, and

they have been exploited. And Islam curse at the root of all

these misconceptions about word that no one can intercede without

God's permission, and there is no need for us to go through

intermediaries. We can approach God

directly, Yala, Booma by ID him mama Khalifa home. He knows

everything out there that exists that will exists in the past,

present and future. He knows everything. Nothing happens in

this universe without God's knowledge and will.

You know, imagine this, the profound meaning of this, when we

are speaking, how many trillions of life forms are coming alive,

bursting forth to life, and how many are dying

and God knows there is not a single lifars Without going doing

it with our last one Rotella doing it.

And there is a beautiful

story of the dialogue between huller and Musa he was salam,

hello and Musar Islam was standing on the shore of the ocean.

And they saw a small board packing water

Hello, Ali Salam told Musa alayhis salam, now Musa, the knowledge you

have been given the knowledge I have been given and the knowledge

of all of the Creation

put together.

If you compare this knowledge that we Mater's have with the knowledge

of God Almighty, that is what this the size of the drop of water this

board has pack for the ocean,

as compared to the ocean, of course, even the oceans or of the

oceans together, will not exist. If they were in and all of the

trees were pen. And we were to write down the wisdom of God

Almighty. The wisdom of God Almighty will not be exhausted.

The pen will not be able to write everything in the ocean will re up

what are you hate? Would I be shaking a mineral be healed every

Basha.

Course knowledge is infinite incomparable, but the knowledge of

human beings, the knowledge of scientists, social scientists,

scientists, philosophers, theologians.

All of this knowledge of put together is nothing. All of this

is a gift, pure gift from Allah subhanho wa taala, who alone is

arguing

that Muslims scientists have the wisdom to recognize the

limitations of human knowledge. So no matter what stage when they're

made, they will always follow it up with a common, what Allahu Alem

cold prospects best.

This is what we know, given the limited knowledge you have been

given.

And there may be something more for us to learn, which we'll learn

later, which we've discovered later. Actually, this is how the

science also progresses. Because every time science discovers

something, it discovers that there are a lot more questions to be

answered. And then that push envelope is pushed further.

What's the accuracy you will somehow what you will learn is

sovereignty pervades and compasses all of the creation.

What I owe to him for the whole ma God's sovereignty got lordship for

sustaining the universe and the cosmos, everything in between. It

doesn't really him not. It doesn't exhaust him. It doesn't tire him

because he doesn't need rest. He's all powerful.

Whoa, Raleigh, you rollin. He's all Hi.

All local, all exalted. Ali, the great tremendous, brothers and

sisters. It behooves us in this blessed month of Ramadan,

to strengthen our relationship with the Quran. And the way to

strengthen our relationship with the Quran is to read it to reflect

upon the message. And let the message soak,

imbue our soul transformer soul with the message. So reading

AYATUL kursi, we should fill our heart with reverence for our last

one our Tala and all of these attributes that God has described,

to teach us something of His divine nature, we should use them.

Use them to decipher the science of God's glory. As we read the

Scripture, as we read the book of nature outside because we have

been given two books. One is the book of Revelation and

Another revelation is that nature with the divine signs are

manifested. But for that we need to open our heart or eyes, our

ears or mind to reflect and by reading the two scriptures

together, we will be try seeking Inshallah, we will be able to see

something of the depth of the Divine book. I would urge you to

read it to see every single day as you wake up, read AYATUL kursi

before you will retire Tibet rewriter kursi rewriter could see

the corners of your house, if you want protection from Allah

subhanho wa taala. Read AYATUL kursi after every farla Salah

because the messenger of Mercy said if you read it, you could see

after every further Salah it's a guarantee for Paradise. So I will

urge you to do that rewriter cracy for all your children and blow on

them and blown yourself for protection from the last one

Rotella because Allah alone is our powerful, either healer and cure.

Surely, we need to take go to doctors and receive treatments but

they can only work with the will of Allah subhanho wa Taala so let

us join the combine the three kinds of treatment according to

Cody hada harder was tougher Allah you will have come was Salam

alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
