Bilal Philips – Transcendency Part 2

			You know
		

			salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
		

			Allah Peace and blessings beyond each and every one of you.
		

			I'd like to welcome your dear viewers to another in our series, the best of tawheed.
		

			In this series, we're looking at the best evidences which prove
		

			for the believers, the correct form of monotheism or Unitarian unitarianism which God had
prescribed, as was revealed that correct form
		

			with its details are outlined in the various proofs from the Quran and from the Sunnah. So we will
be looking at and we have been looking at the proofs that are there, which have brought us to the
picture that we currently have, of who Allah is.
		

			And in that way, knowing we're worshiping, in fact, a law
		

			and not something besides Him, or instead of him that we have been deluded into thinking is actually
a law. Because we have so many people in the world today who are worshipping human beings, animals,
stones, trees, stars, whatever, are worshipping objects from creation, believing that in doing so
they're actually worshiping a lot. So, in our previous episodes, we looked at the technical
definition of what contradicts it.
		

			Then we looked at examples, from the common practice among people of Acts, and beliefs which violate
the basic authentic view of a laws, unique oneness among them, we looked at
		

			charms, amulets, and omens.
		

			Then we looked also at fortune telling. And we looked at astrology, a part of fortune telling, but
		

			something that has also taken on its own life.
		

			And then we went into magic. And from magic, we also add into spirit possession,
		

			and issues related to it connected to it. All of that
		

			is from the area of
		

			tawheed or maintaining laws unity in his dominion, Ruby,
		

			a lot being the ROB
		

			creator sustainer who maintains the whole universe, the question is,
		

			is there anyone or anything in creation, which has the power to bring good or to prevent evil
besides a law? No. That is the basic Islamic believe it is only Allah. Allah is in control of
everything, La hawla wala quwata illa Billah there is no movement, nor power,
		

			except by the permission of Allah.
		

			The Prophet used to make that do are often with one of his favorite to us, or supplications La hawla
wala quwata illa Billah there is no movement, no power, except by the permission of Allah, nothing
happens in the universe. So, given that reality,
		

			anything
		

			or any concept, which gives the last creation,
		

			the ability to bring good and prevent evil, then we look at that as having violated
		

			the basic
		

			concept of maintaining allows unity with regards to his dominion. We went on to look now at another
area where in violation takes place, it's common around the world. And that is in the area of laws,
attributes, which are unique to him, and should not be shared with his creatures, nor should he be
given human attributes. And from that, we are currently looking at a loss transcendence is a
particular attribute Alou, and the names that are connected to it, a Lally. But
		

			It should also be noted
		

			that as we mentioned earlier in this area of last names and attributes, people have gone astray in
modern philosophies by giving a loss attributes to his creation. And that's the common defense of
atheism, in our time, wherever they conceive of and promote the idea that the world is without
beginning. Because once they've denied God, then the issue of how did everything start, can only be
escaped by saying,
		

			it has no beginning. It has always been
		

			that way. Of course, that goes against common sense, everything has a beginning. We see it in this
world, everything has a beginning, every created object has a beginning in time, there's a time when
it didn't exist, a time when it now exists. All the different systems that are running, it was
something to start it all in motion. Without that first jumpstart,
		

			we wouldn't have anything that we have around today. That's common sense. Anyway, the point is that
those who have given the attributes of eternity of being eternal,
		

			to matter to the world,
		

			that has been their way to escape the challenges to atheism. Now, we mentioned earlier that even in
the Einstein's theory of relativity, where equals mc squared, e being energy, being equal to mass,
		

			times the square of the speed of light, that this formula, which is expressed, in words, as energy
can neither be created nor destroyed, or mass matter can neither be created nor destroyed. This is
how it's expressed. Why don't you say something can neither be created nor destroyed, means that it
is created, and it is everlasting.
		

			But only Allah is uncreated and everlasting without beginning or end. So once we attribute that to
matter, nature,
		

			then we have given the attributes of Allah to his creation. Now, of course, when you give these
attributes to matter, you know, you don't think in terms of what what does matter want from me, you
know, what should I have to do? Since I was created by matter, from matter and by matter?
		

			We don't ask these questions. You know, whereas once you think of a personal God, a God who was the
creator, then you have to think now Well, what does the creator want from me? What am I obliged to
do here?
		

			If he created the world, he has a plan?
		

			How do I fit into that plan? These are the questions that come up. When one denies God's existence,
and these are no longer questions, they're just accidents, whatever is there, it's all by accident,
as they claim it.
		

			So one of the other areas of loss attributes that we are focusing on in this series is that of a
loss, transcendence, his or Lu, being transcended being above and beyond his creation. And in our
previous episode, we looked at the implications of this belief,
		

			which becomes a defense for idolatry. And we went on to
		

			To look at how this belief could be rejected, what is the evidence or proof against it? And though
we did look at the particular Hadith, which addressed the topic, we began to look at the proofs
against it from first the natural perspective, human nature, children, rejecting the idea of a law
being everywhere, because it means that a law has to be in filth, then
		

			we looked at the proof from prayer, you could say it's also a sort of a natural proof in that we are
not allowed to pray to idols or to any aspect of creation. That is indicative that the lies that
within this creation. Then Furthermore, we went on to look at the issue of praying to the Kaaba,
		

			in the direction of the Kaaba, are we worshiping the Kaaba, as many people think, mistakenly?
		

			No, we're not. praying in the direction of the Kaaba is only a means to organize our prayers. In
congregation when we're praying together, we have a unified direction in which we pray, to pray as
one
		

			body, one unit, moving on, past the
		

			natural proof. And the prayer proof, we can move on to may be called the Mirage proof, mirage.
		

			This is the ascension
		

			into the heavens, up through the heavens until the Prophet Moses Allah reached the last of the
heavens, above which was the footstool, the throne of Allah, and Allah was above that.
		

			This is the
		

			reality of
		

			this world. Most people don't get the opportunity.
		

			prophets have been given the opportunity to ascend into the heavens, and to see the world from that
perspective. It happened with Prophet Mohammed, may God's peace and blessings be upon him. And
during that ascension into the heavens, we know that he spoke also, in the seventh heaven, He spoke
directly with a law, if we consider
		

			that this Mirage is essential into the heavens, was one in which the Prophet sallallahu Sallam left
the material world and went into the world of the heavens, where he met prophets met Prophet Moses,
he had discussions with him, etc. This process of going up into the heavens, till he reached the
highest point
		

			above which was the corsi, the footstool, and along with it, the throne of throne, all of that is
		

			beyond the seventh heaven.
		

			And the prophet SAW Selim went up to it. So we're a lot everywhere and in everything, there would
have been no need to have. The prophets are seldom ascended to heaven, all of that could have taken
place, right on Earth. But that's not the case. A lot did not have it happen like that. So in the
process of the Mirage itself, there is evidence, indirect evidence that a law is above his creation.
And this is the point that we need to be clear on. As we look at each and every evidence to that
effect. We're going to take a break now and continue after the break, to look at various proofs that
show without a shadow of a doubt that a loss to Allah is above and beyond his creation and not
		

			caught up inside of immigration. With that, we're going to take a brief break and I will see you
after the break.
		

			salaam aleikum, welcome back from the break.
		

			And prior to the break, we were looking at the ascension proof that Allah is above and beyond his
creation and not mixed into the creation in any way and we say
		

			That, that represents from the profits ourselves experiencing going into the heavens ascending into
the heavens, that this whole process was going above and beyond the existing creation. And up to the
highest point outside and beyond the creation, which is that of the footstool of allotment, Allah,
his throne, is going up to that base above the seventh heaven. So that contained in it indirect
proof that Allah is not everywhere, otherwise, that whole process could have happened in his room in
Makkah, he didn't need to go on this journey and ascend up into the heavens to experience what he
experienced, is not really necessary. So, last medalla, had it happen that way, and left it as a
		

			proof to those who would come after that he himself was not inside of his creation. Because other
religious groups
		

			who may have texts similar to the Quranic texts in the Hadith of the prophets of Salaam, yet, they
maintain this idea of a law being everywhere and in everything, though, it goes against the
fundamental teachings are what they're supposed to believe in. And the evidence is not in favor of a
law being everywhere and in everything. However,
		

			we will continue to look at other proofs, which show and indicate clearly that a lot is above his
creation, among the other proofs, as what may be called the Quranic proof, the proof from the verses
in the Quran where Allah speaks about himself being above and beyond the creation, either Allah
refers to
		

			His angels rising up to him, as in verse four of Surah alamire edge 17 chapter, verse four. Allah
says there touto jewel mala aka to roar Whoa, la he fee yo min Kana micpa daru, who come Sina alpha
Santa, the angels in the spirit, that's Gabriel, I send up to him in a day, whose length is like
50,000 of your years, 30,000 years, in another verse,
		

			in Surah, fatter as the 35th chapter, verse 10.
		

			Allah there says, He lay he, Yes, I do. Tell him
		

			everything good, it's going up to him not going
		

			in this world. Parallel, there is no need to go up. Because if a law is everywhere, and and
everything, and it can be just transferred directly, we also have inverse 3637
		

			of Surah oftheir, where Pharaoh himself asks his people or demands of his people, to make a huge
building which would, would take him up into the heavens, and be able to communicate with God
because he had already declared himself to be God, and are bakuman Allah as he said, I am your Lord,
on high. But notice even in that verse, he says, I'm your Lord. unhide, not your Lord in the world.
He's expressing the natural belief that the Lord must be on high must be beyond this world, higher
than this world. So he wanted the building of this structure, which would take him up to the
heavens. And so he could be able to converse with the God of Moses, you know, argue things out with
		

			him or whatever, as he saw it. So, what we find is that Pharaoh instructs Harmon and says, walk all
around. Yeah, hi, man. ibni li Sol Han Lally, ablon as Bab as Baba sama watty for Talia Illa Illa he
Moosa are in Nila Luna who Khadija Pharaoh said, Oh, hi man. Build a lofty place for me that I may
attain
		

			ways to find through it ways to get to what the ways of reaching the heavens, for me to behold the
God of Moses prize, certainly believe he's a liar. So he instructed them to build this
		

			massive structure going up into the heavens,
		

			which would pave the way for him to go and have a look at the God of Moses, which he believes he
would not going to find when he goes up there. Then of course, we have the names, where a lot of is
referred to one of his names is Li Li, and Allah Allah,
		

			both of which mean the highest, above which there is nothing. So a lot refers to himself
		

			using these names, which indicate that he is in fact, above and beyond his creation, and we have
verses where he actually states that he is above, for example, in Surah, Al anon, as the sixth
chapter, verse 18, and also verse 61, is repeated wahoo elkaar, Hero phulkari body, he is the
irresistible above his worshipers. Also, we have another
		

			verse which describes the believers as worshipping their Lord out of fear worshiping the Lord, who
is above them. Haha foreigner about whom menfolk aim those who fear their Lord, who is above them.
So we have a number of verses in the Quran, which indicate that a law most great and glorious is in
fact, above his creation above and beyond his creation, and understand then that the law is beyond
this creation. So it's not just simply above but above and beyond.
		

			So with that, we're coming to a close for this episode. This episode, which is from the series, the
best of our head, and we will continue to look at the evidence is, in the coming
		

			episode, we're looking at the evidence. And also we have logical proof. We'll be looking at these to
further establish the correctness of the belief that the lie is above and beyond his creation, and
not a part and parcel of it, found everywhere and in everything. With that their viewers would like
to thank you for being with us. In this segment of our program, we hope that you continue to follow
the episodes as they unfold. I bid you now farewell. And I hope to see you in the coming episodes.
Salaam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
