The importance of consciousness and the concept of grace is emphasized, along with the use of engineering and magnetic forces to control energy transfer.

00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			Brothers and sisters
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:32
			continuing to look at the pillars of humanity from a moral perspective,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			we talked about belief in the law and what it meant.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:45
			And its implication with regards to our character.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			In this book,
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53
			we'll be looking at belief in
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			the agent,
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:04
			something which we don't usually talk about very much believe in the age.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			Because, to some degree,
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:15
			we may feel a bit shy about this belief in the angels.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			In Western society,
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			Western civilization,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			there was a belief.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:33
			But with the development in science, technology,
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:40
			people replace the various things which are attributed to the angel
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:46
			laws governing the physical world.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:56
			So believe that the angels drifted away, and was looked at, as the ancient peoples
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			attempt to explain
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			what they didn't know
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:11
			what was happening in the world around them, they didn't know the forces behind it. So angels was
the way to explain it.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			Therefore, the modern mind
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			could not possibly be accepted or rejected.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25
			And I would say personally, when I studied Islam,
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:50
			I was a communist at the time. And I became impressed with the system, the political, economic,
social system of Islam. And I became convinced that the Islamic system really was the solution for
human times roles and leads.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:55
			The belief in a law took time.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:16
			Because the communist one denies God's existence. So even though you may be convinced about the
validity of a system, accepting God again, in my life was not an easy step. It took some time. But
Allah was merciful. And he showed me
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:18
			why,
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:27
			in my own life, my own circumstance, after accepting it, and
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:36
			stepping forward to learn the different things about Islam practices, etc. When I came to believe
that the angels, this was a problem,
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			I'll say, it was a problem.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			At that point, what I did, I said, Okay, I really can't understand it.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:04:02
			But because everything else was right. I accept that it is a lack, on my part, my own inability. So
I will just save it until a later point in time when I can handle it. So I went ahead and accepted.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:07
			Having uncertainty about
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:16
			believing in the general sense, but really, if you're the old man saying, Well, can you explain this
belief in the ages I was.
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:44
			So I can understand what would lie in the hearts of people from the west who have rejected this
whole idea? And what may lie in the hearts of Muslims today, having been educated in a system, which
was produced by those who deny the existence of the angels.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			So I wouldn't be surprised.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:55
			I wouldn't be surprised to find in this gathering of some 1000 people,
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			a number of Muslims who would say yeah
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			I really don't know what to do with this idea.
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:06
			So
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			last time,
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			he made it,
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			the second pillar of
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:21
			he made it, the second pillar of faith,
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			meaning that it's important,
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			it is very important.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:37
			So really, what we need to do is to look to see what is the importance of belief in it.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			First and foremost,
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			when we say,
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:48
			as the second pillar of faith, belief in the angels, it means belief in their existence,
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53
			believe in their existence,
		
00:05:55 --> 00:06:04
			believe in their attributes and their qualities, as a law and His Messenger have described them.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			And finally,
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:15
			it means also applying that belief
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:20
			in our life, because, as we said, Every pillar of Islam
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:26
			and every pillar of the map of faith has relevance.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:36
			There is a place has relevance, because the law does not give us knowledge for the sake of
knowledge.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:46
			This is a Western concept knowledge for the sake of knowledge, Islamic concept is knowledge or its
benefit,
		
00:06:47 --> 00:07:08
			knowledge for the benefit of that knowledge, when a law reveals knowledge to us that is because
there is benefit in it for us in our life, practical benefit, which is applicable. Otherwise, it is
just burning them burdening us with something which we didn't need.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:11
			So
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			when we look at the various texts of the Quran,
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:22
			and the Sunnah, there are some basic information that we derive from it about page.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			First and foremost, angels
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:31
			are not what is depicted in the West,
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			either a man
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:38
			or a woman with big wings on his or her
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:49
			nose, nor are they like Cupid, little baby with wings on his back, like
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:57
			remove those images from the minds and the hearts.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			Angels
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:07
			Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam informed us
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			deviated from life.
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:15
			And again, we have to be clear and understand that when the
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:20
			angels are created from the light, it doesn't mean that they are light.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			Because you have some people
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:30
			who are believing that angels are like themselves light
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			gets involved in
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			certain spiritual exercises,
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:51
			where they may swing their head from side to side, saying a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of like this,
and they will keep saying into swinging and swaying and until they hyperventilate.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:57
			And when you hyperventilate, then your eyes playing tricks on you start to see sparks of light.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06
			This is nonsense.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:17
			Angels are not themselves light, any more than we as human beings are created from dirt. And we're
not
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			our origin is dirt.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:37
			The same components which make up our bodies, you can find it in dirt, clumps of dirt walking
around. In the same way, do not consider or think of angels as light.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40
			Because then you open the door as I said,
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:53
			which claims that you can see the angels like these, you know when you reach certain stages of
spiritual
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:59
			development through these spiritual exercises which have no basis
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			Which are the problems?
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			There are sorts of misguidance
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:21
			innovation religion, Prophet Muhammad did not report in any narration to us that he saw
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:28
			angels as light, never, not a single authentic narration
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:32
			described in angels as light.
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:43
			So therefore, anyone who claims to see the angels, we have to say, are making false claims, please
either Come in,
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:52
			come in, if there's no room for you, and please step back out and let the door be closed, let the
door be closed.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:01
			So understanding angels continuing to understand and
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			created
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:10
			as beings
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15
			to fill the circumstances that he wanted them
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			to operate within.
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23
			In the case of Muhammad Rasul Allah when he experienced revelation.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			And he felt pressure on himself
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			in the cave,
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:36
			the beginnings of revelation when you know, fearfully leaving,
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			he said,
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:45
			would you bring in Angel Gabriel, filled the horizon,
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			in whatever direction he looks.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:55
			Horizon was filled with being of angel.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:05
			We're not talking about that said, Man flying around with wings off their backs.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:29
			And, of course, Allah describes the angels with wings. But again, when he describes them with wings,
we don't think about the wings of a bird. Because we talk about the wing of an airplane. And we
don't think about the wing of a bird.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:36
			So, similarly, when they are described as having 246,
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:42
			large numbers of wings, we don't think bird wings
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			didn't say early
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:52
			bird wings. So we don't think in those terms,
		
00:12:53 --> 00:13:00
			we try to limit our grasp to what has been conveyed to us.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:03
			Furthermore,
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:06
			when
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:10
			we look at the description is found in the Quran and
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:15
			what we find is that virtually everything
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			which takes place in this world,
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:25
			happens through the agency of angels
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:29
			by laws permission,
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:48
			and happens through the agency of angels, whether it is the rain, or lightning and thunder, whether
it is the growing of the crops, etc. all that happens in the world. Angels are involved in
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:52
			this is how it is described.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:00
			Again, somebody may ask,
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:07
			Why do angels have to be involved in everything we
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:13
			could no longer make these things happen without the agency of angels?
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			This is the question.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:21
			Yes.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:24
			I was able to do all
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:33
			it doesn't need the angels for these things. You think similarly, he doesn't need gravity
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:36
			for things to fall down.
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:44
			He doesn't need the other forces of magnetism.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:59
			magnetic forces which attract bodies, it doesn't need all of the various scientific laws that we
have discovered all the way to equals mc squared.
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:10
			But he has chosen to create this world governed by these principles.
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:37
			And as he is created to govern by discernible principles that we can observe under the microscope,
etc, is also decided to create it, operating not only under these discernible principles, but under
undiscernible principle principles that we can see that are behind it.
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:43
			My position, magnetism operates through the agency of angels,
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:48
			we can see the effects of magnetism, we cannot see magnetism.
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:52
			As
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			agents, angels were behind it.
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:02
			Perhaps the title company will be able to see the magnetic force.
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:12
			But God will not come when we'll be able to see the angels behind it.
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:17
			So what is the right tell us about?
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:21
			The good?
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:26
			Why tell us about something we'll never be able to see.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:34
			magnetic forces enough for us? What do we need to know about these angels?
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:40
			reality is that
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			telling us about angels,
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			and their role within the world
		
00:16:50 --> 00:17:11
			is a part and parcel of the overall role of the angels because the angels role doesn't stop there.
He goes on to inform us that there are angels each and every one of us has an angel with him or her,
which encourages that individual
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:16
			is an angel with each and every one of us.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:20
			encouraging us
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:27
			Furthermore, there are angels who record IDs,
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:34
			on the right hand recordings with deeds on the left hand recording.
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:45
			That's a part and parcel of the overall picture of the angel with regards
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:52
			and the most important element is there.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:58
			Our deeds are being recorded.
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:02
			record it.
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:19
			So why don't you tell us about these angels recorded so that we will be conscious, more conscious
about the fact that whatever we do,
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:22
			we will have to meet
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:26
			the damage
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:30
			that it is all required.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			To further remind us
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:39
			to be conscious about what we are doing.
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:44
			So on one hand,
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:50
			it should create in us a character
		
00:18:51 --> 00:19:00
			a deliberate character cracker which deliberates whatever it does. Whatever we have to do with
deliberate on it.
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:07
			We ask ourselves, is this really good? Or is it really evil?
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:14
			Because if I do it and it's not good, it is going to be recorded against
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:21
			if it is good, to be recorded for me. So I should try to
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:37
			so I deliberate over the things that I'm going to do. I don't just do things and not a spontaneous
person in the sense that I don't stop and think things out.
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:42
			To me minute law.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:46
			deliberation is wrong.
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:51
			minute shape
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:59
			is from Satan. So that's spontaneous character which has has a feeling to it
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			This is a tactic
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:12
			and knowledge of the angels is to help us to develop that deliberate
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:15
			deliberate
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:20
			things over things before doing,
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:26
			thinks about the consequence to come, if these things are done.
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:30
			And it makes that individual a careful that
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:36
			you take care in the things that you do.
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:40
			This is important.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:50
			Because much of sin, much of the sinful things that we do, are a result of our heads.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:52
			We do.
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:58
			Because we didn't stop and think it through.
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			So this is a very, very important
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:10
			concept in our lives, consciousness of the angels.
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:15
			awareness of their recording, on one hand,
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:18
			should keep us
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:26
			on the clear path, straight path, guidance to get all of our careers.
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			We think about what we're going to do before we
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:36
			take care, whatever we do.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:43
			On the other hand, knowledge that
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			there is an angel with each and every one of us,
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51
			encourages us to good
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:58
			that should create in us a sense of gratitude.
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:04
			Because this is a blessing. This is a merging.
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			This is from the grace of God.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:18
			Because he already created us with a consciousness of good and evil, each soul that is created as a
law set for
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:26
			each and every soul is created with the consciousness of good and evil ready.
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:38
			So this is additional from a law. Something which we don't specifically deserve, it is wrong is
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:49
			grace that He has given us assigned to each and every one of us, an angel would remind us or would
encourage us to do.
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:55
			thoughts come into our hands. We wonder where they come from.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:23:02
			You want to do something which is not necessarily good. And then the thought comes into your head.
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:10
			We take it and say well, yeah, something to think about.
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:34
			We don't stop to think well, where did that thought come from. But the prophet SAW a lot of stuff
that has informed us that this is the source. This should remind us to be grateful to Allah, Allah,
in our life, special grace that is within each and every one of our lives, to help us to be on the
straight path
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:59
			to forgive our sins, and to give us the reality of faith in the world of angels, and that we apply
that belief in our day to day life, and become the deliberate type of individuals which God wished
us to become. Believe in the angels.
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:08
			Believe in the angels represents believe in the unseen world.
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:14
			Angels were seen by the prophets
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:21
			and by certain individuals in the past,
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:27
			who had special relationships with the prophets.
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:44
			Included in that world of Odyssey be an extension of belief in the angels is belief in the world of
the jinn.
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:47
			The world of the jinn
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:50
			a world
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			parallel to our world,
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:59
			wherein there are beings creatures
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:04
			Have a free will, as we do.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:11
			Unlike the angel angels, who do, as I said, we,
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:26
			they do whatever they are commanded to do. Angels do a lot of speaking with without any question,
they do not challenge our laws, meaning they don't disobey the law.
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			But a law created another one
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:38
			which shares with our world the ability to choose between good and evil.
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:48
			It's a part of the spirit world, we share the spirit world in that we have a spirit and a soul.
		
00:25:50 --> 00:26:05
			But we live in a physical world at the same time, the angels are in the spirit world. But they have
an impact in the physical world. There is another
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:14
			set of beings that live in the spiritual world, known as the gym.
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:27
			And they have an influence on an effect on this world, this physical world in which we live. And
that is why a law spoke about them.
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:30
			And they were important enough.
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:36
			That's a chapter from the privates call the chapter of the year.
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:45
			There's no chapter called the chapter of the angels. But there's a chapter called chapter of the
God.
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:49
			So they are important,
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56
			like belief, in the
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:01
			belief that the world of the jinn has an impact on our character.
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:21
			And the law inform us about that world for reasons which have to do with our existence, our lives as
creatures who should be worshipping along in all aspects of our existence.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:27
			The world of the gym, is a big dog.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:36
			If you look at the series of books on the pillars of the mat,
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:39
			by chef
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:42
			this series is available.
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:45
			Nine volumes.
		
00:27:47 --> 00:28:10
			It's available at the bookstore Control Center, which is in Doha, the largest bookstore, with the
widest selection of English, books on Islam, and other languages. So those of you that are not aware
of it, this should take benefit.
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:16
			In any case, this series, very important,
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:20
			which each and every family should have in their home.
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:22
			Because
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:35
			a scholar has described or elucidated the pillars of the man in a wonderful way in which he has
brought all of the evidence.
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:44
			So you feel a sense of confidence that the information you're receiving is authentic, reliable, and
is
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:47
			dedicated when you look at that series.
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:57
			The Book of the book, which is on the angels, is about half the size as the book on the world.
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:01
			Because the topic is a big
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:05
			and I'm not gonna be able to cover it
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:09
			unless you all want to stay on.
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:18
			So enough for us to say that the world of the gym
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:22
			has an impact in our lives
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:25
			that we should be aware of.
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:45
			We shouldn't deny their existence. We should seek knowledge about. Of course, in all of our
cultures, we have a whole bunch of folklore stories. We hear about people back in the vintage who
had gins were cleaning their homes. Did you live people garage?
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:52
			It's important to know the truth about
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:59
			the future. Coming up with Java, we'll look at it in a little more depth.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:05
			At least in this world, but enough to know that
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:10
			the jinn, their origin, they were created from fire.
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:14
			This is what the prophet SAW Solomon.
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:22
			And in the same way that the angels are created from light that they're not like the gym were graded
from fire.
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:31
			So if you have pictures of fireballs running around, remove them from your mind.
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:43
			And the question that some people raised with the jinn are created from fire, and they do good and
they do evil. So the evil ones are going to the Hellfire, how can fire fire fire?
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:51
			That question comes up that's because of a mistaken understanding of what it means to be created
from.
		
00:30:53 --> 00:31:00
			But in any case, the simple explanation for that question which might be on your minds, is that we
are created from Earth.
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:05
			But can we not take some Earth,
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:07
			Clay
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:08
			molded,
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:15
			take it out solid like a rock and
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:18
			kill somebody with it.
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:26
			So even though we're made from Earth, we can be killed, we can be harmed we can be hurt backers.
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:31
			So even though the jinn were made from fire,
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:34
			they can be harmed by fire,
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:41
			they will lead to evil among them will enter the fire as evil among human beings will also enter.
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:49
			The other point to note
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:51
			is that
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:57
			they play a role of mischief in this world.
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:05
			They are they are a source of guidance and harm.
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:12
			That is why allies informed us about them in order to protect ourselves from their influence.
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:17
			The most important
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:21
			from the world of the Djinn
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:25
			the most important being is Satan.
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:38
			In our belief system, Satan was from the world of the jinn, not a fallen angel, as believed by
Christians.
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:55
			This is according to Christian theology. But there are angels who disobeyed the law they created a
group when Satan was the head of them is called Lucifer get referred to different other names. No,
in our belief system, angels do what God commands them to.
		
00:32:57 --> 00:33:00
			Satan was from the world opportunity.
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:03
			Most important points.
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:08
			Short, this point that I can cover in this book
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:15
			is why Allah created Satan
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:23
			knowing that he would tempt Adam and Eve.
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:33
			And they would fall under his temptation, his influence and disobeyed God.
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:47
			And this relates to what the general concept of why is there evil in a world created by a good God?
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:51
			Where did the evil come from?
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:58
			Satan was created by
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:01
			knowing full well what he would do.
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:14
			And the Lord created him, not evil. Satan from the world of the jinn, he had a choice between good
and evil.
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:18
			And for a period of time he did what was good.
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:21
			But when he was tested, and we'll look at that later,
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:24
			he turned,
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:33
			his face was tested. It was commanded to bow before Adam, along with the other agents. he disobeyed.
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:35
			Allow you all of this.
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:39
			So why did he go ahead,
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:45
			knowing that he's going to come back when Adam and Eve are at the garden and
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:47
			deceive them
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:51
			because
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:59
			the consequence of Adam and Eve is deception. What
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:04
			without ever needing to see they disobeyed a law they ate from the tree.
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:06
			And
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:10
			then they turn back to a law and repentance.
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:20
			That turning back to a line repentance after committing sin, this is one of the greatest acts of
worship.
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:31
			As the prophet SAW sounds upset at me, command la de la one who repent from sin is like one without
sin.
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:37
			So this was a magnificent form of worship,
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:48
			which would only exist if Adam disobeyed the law as a result of being tempted by Satan.
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:51
			So we see the greater good.
		
00:35:53 --> 00:35:58
			A law permitted Satan's temptation for a greater good,
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:04
			which is related to the nature of human beings, that we will disappear.
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:20
			And we need to have a way to remove that sin from ourselves. It is true rebellion, repentance. So
Adam and Eve became the model of repentance for us.
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:44
			But that whole process could only take place in that scheme of things with the presence of Satan. So
Allah created Satan, not for the evil that he would do, but for the good consequences that would
come as a result of the evil.
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:57
			This is the guidance which Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam gave us. And this is why we are
commanded, as
		
00:36:58 --> 00:36:59
			in the law of Allah,
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:01
			Allah.
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:06
			Allah stated that he and his angels, bless.
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:21
			He calls on all of us who believe, to also ask for Peace and blessings, to be a prophet.
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:26
			Because he was the messenger brought to us this
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:34
			knowledge of the world of angels, knowledge of the world of agility,
		
00:37:36 --> 00:37:41
			which would impact in our lives, and help us to be
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:43
			on the right
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:48
			to do the right thing to make the right decision.
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:51
			And I asked my boss,
		
00:37:52 --> 00:38:34
			to keep us on that path of knowledge, where we seek to understand the world around us as a lot of
revealed knowledge regarding it. We asked the law, to give us the conviction to apply this knowledge
in our day to day lives, to make us practical Muslims, who live this faith of Islam, to make us
examples for those around us. Examples of righteousness are not examples of corruption. We asked the
law to give us sincerity, the blessing of sincerity and to keep us in this faith
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:37
			in this world
