			Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and welcome to a nother tagalong discussion on the 99 Names of
Allah I am your host, without Han with yours. I just realized I'm not even showing up in this town.
You're not supposed to show up in the camera like I'm not supposed to show up in that camera. Okay,
so FYI, okay, by the way, this video we're gonna be talking about I came and part of the wisdom of
or which is the most all wise encompassing of wisdom, right? Yes. And one of the one tidbit on
folks, if you're ever doing I eat hobos make them snappy. Huh? We're still in the season? Yes. Um,
the last season every Friday? Yes.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:56
			Yeah, you know, the profits lesson I've said from the film a person is that he makes this whole bus
short. And his
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:12
			solo long, huh? That's from the fifth of a person's understanding of a person. And I know one chef
who makes his whole bus on purpose. Uh, huh. His community everything. Anybody who comes and visits?
Yeah, they tell him the whole bus 10 minutes.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			The whole first 10 minutes. That's dope, man. So the question.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:35
			My question to him to the chef was I said to him, the problem is, is that what I've heard, many Sree
have talked about is they say, Hey, this is the only opportunity we have Yeah, to educate and inform
the people was not for me. So we need that for 20 or 3040, sometimes 50 minutes, right.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:42
			Not everybody's his response to that was a really good response. He said, that's their problem.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:02:22
			Right? Like, that's your problem. If you can get people to come to an educational program. That's
your problem. But that's not what the hope was intended for. And I also think that Ted Talks, kind
of flipped all of that on its head, because they proved that you can provide information or inspire
or educate and do all of these things within 15 minutes. Yeah. I mean, in fact, they like, their
whole thing is like to their magic numbers, like 18 minutes. They said, Because beyond 18 minutes,
he started losing. And even you'll notice these videos, they're not longer than ATAR videos. Yeah. I
mean, these videos, I think are gonna have to be edited down to 18 Minute. No, they're not longer
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:44
			than like, the longest running video that we have. uncut is 18 minutes. Okay. And so like, even when
we edit it down, it's anywhere between like, five and 15. So I'm good. Because I don't think that's
for you guys. Yeah, I don't think a person can listen to us for more than 10 minutes at a time. It
depends. I can listen to us all day. Gary says you can listen to us for three minutes, three,
		
00:02:45 --> 00:03:00
			three seconds. Okay. All right. So let's get to it. Hakeem ham de la sala Salama the dream? Yes. So
I mean to from Houston. Yes, rockin. He's talking about Hakeem Olajuwon. But we're talking about
Hakeem a lot as origin. And so a lot as well. Is that Hakeem?
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:31
			And hacking meaning the all wise, there's a couple of names, all sorts that are appropriate with
that. And that is at Hakeem as well as in hacking and Ackermann hacking. So these are play. Yes,
these are the these are the names that have some flexibility. Okay, which we defined last week to
be, or in the last episode to be names that are have flexibility or names that in which, you know,
some people will say this is a name and someone will say, No, it's not really a name, like a hacker
would hacky mean, okay, the most
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:41
			common hacker mean, or just would hacky mean? Come on. Okay. Yeah. Come on hacky mean, which is the
most just of those who judge
		
00:03:43 --> 00:04:08
			asked for a hacking. And hacking is mentioned in a number of places. So it Hakeem has mentioned a
number of places in the Quran, he's mentioned 94 times. And what was the difference between on
hacking? I'll get to, I'll get to that. So jumping the gun that Hakeem is mentioned in 94 times. And
and Hakeem is mentioned five times, what's the significance of a particular name being mentioned X
number of times?
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			What is the significance? Yeah.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:48
			I see this much like I see people do that a lot. Well, they'll come through and they'll say, this is
the the reason, and I believe it's just something that people like if you find a name being
mentioned a lot, okay. Right. that's indicative that allows you a lot of times is directing your
attention to this name. And if a name is mentioned only once, like, or a couple times like
alcoholism, yes. Right. Does that mean it's not that much attention setting? I would think that
would be more attention center, because look, I'm only mentioning it here. So pay attention. And
that's a way to look at it as well. Right? It's like you look oh, this name is only mentioned once
		
00:04:48 --> 00:05:00
			in this particular instance, pay attention to the context for example, in which this name is
mentioned, okay? Whereas you have something like Rahmani Raheem is the fact that it is mentioned at
the beginning of every
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:17
			sutra indicate something. Yes definitely. Is it part of the sutra? Or is it part of the editor
simply just part of the etiquette of reciting a sutra from the beginning? Because if you recite
investment it isn't a part of any genre. Except for saw that animal. animal. Oh, because in the end,
no, it's in the middle of the soul. Oh, really? It is in the middle. Okay.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:25
			In case she says, Yeah, you had Melo in a lake town Kareem enormous Lee man. Oh no. Bismillah R
Rahman r Rahim.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:06:12
			I get goosebumps man doo, doo doo. It's amazing. Meaning she says yes. Today man sends a letter to
misplace the Queen of Sheba. Okay. And so her name is not Chiba. She was the play Subbu Subbu. Okay.
Oh, okay. Because this is actually the DC five version of Shiva. Yes. Okay. So Subbu is Yemen. Okay.
So she says yeah, you had my that she says all my people. It will take Nikita and Kareem. I received
a Nobel letter in a homerun today man. It's from should a man we're in Ohio. Bismillah R Rahman r
Rahim. And it is it says the letter says Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim. So they used Bismillah R Rahman
Rahim, from the time of even Solomon for sure. For sure. So it's not a new thing. That's for the
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:38
			month of May. Not by text of the whole on that it's there. But we digress as usual. So let's come
back to Hakeem and then hack him. So I'll hack him. We're Holla Holla. I know we will. Sorry. So he
was after Moosa. Yes. So bunnies are familiar with Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Yes. So now I'm
wondering is this midlaner Jorge Matata? Is it in the solder? Maybe? Huh?
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:54
			So why were the Arabs? Like a rough man? They were. Yeah. Why were they? What was it because it
didn't reach them. Okay. It didn't reach them. So were the Jews of Medina familiar with it?
Possibly. Okay, I guess.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:56
			Possibly.
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:41
			They might have been familiar with it. But we're talking about Polish Polish was not familiar with
it. Right, man. Okay. He said who's got it? Yeah. So Hakeem. So at Hakeem is the one who, Alinea
come up with dinner. So Hakeem is the one who perfects everything. And he places everything in its
appropriate place. And so, again, you'll always find the definition of hikma, you'll see this come a
lot, that the definition of wisdom is putting things in its proper place. Hmm. It's not necessarily
treating two different things equally. It's treating everything and everyone in a way that it is
appropriate to them, equitably, equitably. Very good. Exactly. And of the meanings of hikma also is,
		
00:07:42 --> 00:08:02
			I mean, there are a lot of ways that hikma is reflective the hikma velocity and is reflected in this
world that we live in. So of them, for example, is believing that a lot as we realize that Hakeem is
that we weren't created for no reason. You know, just a lot of people they always fight for
equality.
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:17
			Would it? Would it be more appropriate to fight for equity? Yes, I think so. For sure. To fight for
equity would be better than to fight for equality, because treating two people who are different
equally is an act of oppression.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			Yeah, so then we have
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:30
			so of the ways in which we see the wisdom of allies or yet isn't the fact that allies it did not
create us for nothing.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:38
			He created us for a reason because he is in hockey. And so Allah azza wa jal, we know that we are
here.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:09:06
			Not Agatha, we're not just here for no reason about ABA, ABA, you're saying ABA, I'm saying ABA.
What? What does that mean? And that just means for no reason. Right? Cobain? Yes, envying? Okay,
that there was no purpose behind it. Okay. No, we believe that our Lord is hacky, that we have a
purpose here. It's a matter of us. So anyway, borrows the justice is hekima hacking justice as well,
or No.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:47
			It's not sometimes the term is has to do with somebody being a judge, right? Somebody hacking and
hacking was the one who judges. Right. So, so it's very much related to justice. So the fact that it
is the justice of a loss, Matata, that we're not hearing, I mean, when you put when you put things
in their proper place, that is an act of justice. Okay. Right. So then you have the manifestations
of the hc mobilizing budget is the idea. Okay, is the law. And so a law as again, gives us these
measurements around when you're talking about wisdom set up already and how much of it is
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:50
			interpretable and,
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:59
			and all of it, we're talking about what is set up already? Yeah, like for example, inheritance,
mostly even Mafalda law says, These are
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:32
			These are the amounts that are no play in it, or that which has given us flexibility. All of that
comes back to his hikma he knows what are the things that should not be played with at all. Okay, it
should not be left for interpretation clear. And that's clear. Okay, and the things that are open
for interpretation and that's clear as well and so this is not what the province of the lightest and
let me say it says the holiday is clear and clear and between them there are doubtful matters that
many of the people don't know. But he said many of the people he didn't say all of the people don't
know so there's always aspects that are going to be clarity in the doubt granted, somebody has taken
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:37
			the time to clarify it and a lot of it has given that person that clarity God which brings us to the
third aspect of
		
00:10:38 --> 00:11:19
			photography Dania, someone has been given the religion Okay, also, which brings us to the third
which is the pigma Masha Allah says He grants wisdom to whoever he wills and whoever is everybody's
was no and wisdom cannot be always we have the statement here. You know, common sense is not so
common. Forget wisdom, just common sense is not so common. Okay, so a lot of good grants wisdom, and
whoever has been granted wisdom that has been given a hit on Casio has been granted a lot of
goodness. And so is there a specific da for asking a lot of grant I've never heard or come across a
specific asking a large budget for achema. But that person can ask a lot for Hickman, for sure. You
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:44
			know, you see people who martial law have wisdom, they know how to solve people's problems. They
their suggestions are always suggestions that are just very weighty and measured. And what was the
one time it was, I think in one of your classes, you mentioned something along the lines of wisdom
isn't knowing what's right or wrong, but it's being able to decipher between two rights, or between
two, that's the definition of
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:48
			a person who's a puppy. Yeah, it's not the person who knows.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:12:20
			Between Helen O'Hara, but he knows between to highlight things, what's better? Yeah. And between two
how long things what's worse, okay. You see, so But that requires wisdom. Yes. Okay. But it also
requires filter understanding. And so you have to be able to measure things, okay? accordingly. And
not everybody has the ability to do that. Some people, you know, when they command the good or
forbid the evil, they bring an evil that's worse. And you see that every single day. And then you
have some people who you know, try to command the good
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:29
			and they don't bring about a good that's better than the good that the people are already
experiencing. So and So asking a lot as well for hikma is
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			something incredibly valuable to be
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:49
			to be encouraged for a person to seek out and also something that's beautiful, just a normal example
everyday example of the Hakan mobilizer is really the differences in languages. Okay. How is the how
		
00:12:50 --> 00:13:09
			were what are what are what is the wisdom and allies of creating so many different languages a lot,
Isaiah says and we have created you into nations and tribes that you may know one another, but also
the differences of the languages. For example, it shows you the, you know the power of a lot. Okay,
you know, we
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:40
			we keep bringing up this guy who, who, who made this elf language, what's his name? Oh, JRR Tolkien.
He's the guy who wrote Lord of the Rings, right. And as part of the writing of the book, he he's
also a linguist, right, so he developed his own fake language called the elephant language, but the
same process was also Gene Roddenberry applied the same process, where he came up with the tracking
comes out in me is the Klingon language, okay, and people actually learn the Klingon language and
speak it as not people but nerds nerds.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:14:18
			Yes. So it's the same concept that they actually came up with develop this fake language and people
so he created the language. So it's, they do the same thing with the movie Avatar with James
Cameron. Okay, they developed the NaVi, they worked with linguists, and they literally work. I
wonder the depth of these languages like how, how rich these languages are? It's a good question. I
mean, I think for the purposes of, I think out of these three, I mean, I would say the elephant
language is probably the most has the most depth because it has had time and culture and nerds and
geeks to get in on it and develop it and develop it further. And one of the cool things that he did
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:33
			was he even developed dialects within it because I would imagine that they had a lot of time to
develop it. They spent almost two years since he came up with it and and even then it's just like
people continue to have their practice in their parents basements.
		
00:14:37 --> 00:15:00
			So yeah, so what were we going with this so where we're going with that is that you saw how Bella's
face lit up and how he amazed he wasn't excited he became when we're talking about a single person
who created a language a language and we are not sure about its depth that just spans three novels
or what have you know, man, he's got like a bunch of books, bro. Okay, got Lord of the Rings, which
is three, you got the hobbit which is one and you got the silmarillion
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:35
			Which is another, and then you have a whole series of other books, which kinda is like a dictionary,
Encyclopedia of the his fake history of Middle Earth, which is and then we look and we say, look at
what our laws are created of the vastness of languages on this earth. Sure. And these are the
languages that are spoken now not the languages that are spoken 1000 years ago or 2000, or three or
four. Yeah, so a lot as we had mentioned, that is one of all of that is indicative of the power of a
lie, says women a it Hulk was similar to a lot of data for synthetic oil when Kamala says from his
sciences, the creation of the heavens of the earth and the differences in your color of skin and
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:44
			your languages and allies. It says, Man Holla Holla Holla insane. Right? Wait, we talk about sutra
Han? Yeah.
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:45
			Allah.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:16:06
			Allah, yeah, so Allah says, Allah man, he, he taught before and he created mankind, and they taught
them speech. Okay, right. So this being taught eloquence and ban is a great favor from Allah, as we
heard that he taught us. And that was one of these is that that no other species on Earth has been
right?
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:40
			Or is that? Are there species that I don't know? I mean, every species has some way that they
communicate, communicate, but the idea that they're not gonna, well, you're talking about your poem,
right? You don't see a cat and marvel at the sunrise or whatever it was. They're not they're not.
They're not impressed by beauty, whether or not they communicate and what level of communication
that's, I think, something that scientists figure out because because of that, because the thought
was like, like, even with the from the Quran, or the ants would say, like, you know, so the man is
coming and going to travel. Right? So that's communication, this communication, but it's not like
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:41
			the answer to go back and write poetry.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:43
			That's a very good point.
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			Unless they wrote it, and we don't know about it.
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			All right. So we end here with regards to Hakeem.
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:54
			Some of our listeners hamadryad.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:17:04
			Wait, before we end, like is there any action points we can talk away? Like, what do we do with
this? The action points? I mean, we go home and read Lord of the Rings, I'm all for that.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:45
			No, the action points with regard Hakeem number one very important action point is contentment,
contentment of the heart. When I realized that, you know what, the way that my life is going is
being designed by a Lackey, the one who is the most wise one is the most, okay, that grand So
basically, what we have in life and where we're at is out of the justice of a lunch for us to be his
wisdom is his wisdom and a luxury, it is the most wise there is a reason and not only a reason, but
a marvelous, incredible reason for why what's happened to me has happened to me. Okay. I may not
know it, I may never know it. But I take solace in the fact that a lot has it is it hockey,
		
00:17:45 --> 00:18:05
			everything happens for a reason. And a great example of that is the story of Musa Musa is incredibly
intelligent, yeah, and knowledgeable and all of these things, and he can't wrap his head around why
these things are happening. Yeah. And he, you know, the story gives us access at the end. But
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:27
			we don't have access for the stuff that happens in our day to day lives. And so we have faith. Okay,
and understand that a lot of it is that hacking? Sure. Also important action item is from this is to
seek out wisdom. You know, people used to seek out wisdom, learn wisdom, and recognize also that a
lot of wisdom comes from simply experience.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:37
			Okay, but one says seek out wisdom, you say that's not not everybody's going through wisdom, but you
can seek it out. Like what does that mean? What that means is that when I add
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:48
			experiences, to my experience, I add lifetimes to my lifetimes. So seek out the experiences of
others, is seeking out the wisdom that is seeking out wisdom, okay, and not only that, but also
		
00:18:49 --> 00:19:24
			in the form of mentors, or if not in the form of mentors who are alive. mentors who have passed
away. You don't want to just realize, we talked about like experience, right? What is what defines
an experience, right? It's not just a memory, but I was just, I was having a conversation with
someone. And I was asking, like, if you were to describe somebody to me, like, why is it so
difficult to describe them? They're like Yeah, but it would take a lot of depth to know someone I'm
like, Well, if you know somebody you know on a number of levels, right? You know them on what their
basic talents are. Right? What what what comes naturally to them. Right? corniness comes naturally
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			to me wit comes naturally to you.
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:42
			At the same time, what it what is it that they've spent learning? What have they spent educating
themselves on? Going into that? How have they what the skills have they developed along with that
education? And how they combine all that into
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:51
			something that they've applied, which has become an experience, and what have they learned from that
application? I think that's where the wisdom comes in.
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			And that's very good.
		
00:19:54 --> 00:20:00
			So the question now is, maybe a lot of times we might have a lot of wisdom in our own experience.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:09
			says we just haven't taken the time to reflect on it. And by the way, I love what you just said
right there. I really think for example, journaling. Yes.
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:42
			I'll tell you right now, the book I'm writing myself is just like your journal, your thoughts? Yeah,
just a lot of us go through life, and we're not even recording. Right? You're never going back and
seeing, you know, looking back reflecting pulling lessons, you know, some of the most painful
moments in life, you don't realize how many lessons are in it, if you just take the time to relive
that pain, maybe a little bit, but then I think more and more people are journaling than ever
before. Yeah, in the form of Facebook statuses. Okay, but it's not really reflection. I mean, they
write their reflections, I suppose. But I would, I would say Facebook statuses kind of, they just
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:43
			vary everything.
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:57
			Just as you write a Facebook status, that you just copy it into a single document that becomes your
own journal. That's a brilliant idea. Thank you very much. That was worth getting to the end of the
video for
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:10
			do that, guys. That's an action. Yes, you guys write stuff, documented? Google Docs, Evernote,
whatever. And I really think, you know, Marhaba, Minister shot, the one who
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:50
			consults doesn't lose ever. And so when you consult people, and you gain x, you add experience to
your experience. And that's something important also to consult people. You know, we talked
yesterday about the story of the province of Alliance and a misaligned marriage. Yeah. And the
prayer was obligated on him 50 times. Yeah. And he met somebody with more experience than him. And
that was massage, and massage, and I've continued to tell the profit, go back, go back, go back,
trust me. Your people aren't going to be able to do it. I tried, I have more experience. I went and
I tried with vinius law in and they're just not going to end the profits of the license and continue
		
00:21:50 --> 00:22:05
			to benefit from Russo's advice and his experience, until he got to the point where he said, I'm too
shy to ask my Lord for more. And so it stayed at five. But look, we benefited so much from most
artists and his experience with venues like we were saved by that. Yeah. So
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:13
			consulting people who are older than you is always something people have more experienced than you
is a habit of people who are,
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:29
			you know, successful. And this is maybe like even a something that we can even revive and a benefit
for us personally visiting old people. Yeah, learning their stories. Yeah. benefiting from their
example. You know, they say that a wise person is someone who learns from the mistakes of others.
		
00:22:31 --> 00:23:02
			Yeah. And I just think of this poster, right. You know, they have those motivational posters. Yeah.
And then they have those on motivational posters as well, which is kind of like the sarcastic Yeah.
And they feel like a ship is sunk. And it's like, some people are just meant to be a warning for
you. Yeah. They say a wise person learns from the mistakes of others. An intelligent person learns
from their own mistakes and a dumb person doesn't even learn from their own mistakes. Yeah,
something like that. So we end here with a hacky sort of lights and a hammer. Do it like this.
