Episode Notes

Shaykh Hasan Ali begins a series on the 99 Names of Allah through a book scribed by the famous Imam Al Qurtubi who is one of the greatest scholars of his time. In the book, Imam Al Qurtubi begins by thanking Allah for helping us recognize the Names of Allah. We would not know Allah without these names. There is great benefit in these names.

Allah SWT has said in Surah Al A’raf, verse 180-

Allah has many beautiful names. So now ask Allah through these Names.

Some of the Ulema have taken a stance of calling only a few Names of Allah as opposed to all which is also absolutely fine and agreed upon.

In the Asma ul Husna, a number of Ulema have used certain Names of Allah and have found that the Dua or whatever they wished for has been accepted. If somebody has experienced that, they are allowed to go to other people and tell them about it. As long as a portion of the Ummah or a large portion of it does not make it or think of this as the Sunnah which the Prophet ﷺ advocated, it is acceptable. Some other Ulema are completely against it and also say that a number should not be fixated on the number of times a particular Name of Allah is called upon.

The point that is made by Imam Al Qurtubi is that if we are calling Allah by His Name and we want to get His Mercy, then it is always beneficial to know the meanings of these Names. Who is the One we are calling? We should have the knowledge of this and also we should give due recognition to the Name of Allah that we are calling out. We should cultivate a deeper understanding of the Names of Allah so that we can come closer to Allah by asking Him various things through these Magnificent Names.

Narrated Abu Hurairah RA: Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “Allah has ninety-nine names, i.e. one-hundred minus one, and whoever knows them will go to Paradise.”

The next concept discussed is that of the meaning of the Arabic word – Ahsaaha – in the above Hadith. What does this word mean? Imam Al Qurtubi in his book, goes into the details of this name and says that the predominant meaning is that whosoever has willed will commit to these names themselves.

Imam Al Qurtubi elaborates on the meaning of Ahsaaha saying that it means teaching the names of Allah to their fullest meaning . according to the majority of the Ulema, the word Ahsaaha is to look and search for the meanings of these names. 

A form of searching or investigating for these names is to look for occasions that the person is in and then look for that name of Allah among the 99 names to use on those occasions. This is particularly useful on occasions of distress or when people need a solution for their problems. For example, if somebody wants a Dua to be answered, he can most often use the name – Al Mujeeb and may find that Allah is more likely to answer his Dua. Hence, it can also be deduced that if people want to use the experience and expertise of the Ulema and also employ the benefits of the techniques used by them to give Shafaa’, then it is completely permissible.

Imam Al Qurtubi also gives another meaning of the word Ahsaaha which is to do Hifz of these names of Allah. It also means to bring in oneself, those qualities of the Names of Allah in our lives so as to better it and come closer to Allah. Ahsaaha also means to understand these names well, to place these names in its right place and to use these names to revere Allah sincerely.

The Shaykh now discusses the first name of Allah which is the greatest name of Allah. The first name that appears in the Qur’an is Allah. One of the qualities of Allah is to know Him as the Rabb – The Provider.

In Surah Al Furqan, verse 60 – “And when it is said to them, “Prostrate to the Most Merciful,” they say, “And what is the Most Merciful? Should we prostrate to that which you order us?”

This verse in particular shows us the ignorance of the people of Makkah regarding the names of Allah. They only knew the name – Allah and did not know who Ar Rahman was.

Sri Lanka Rahim hamdulillah hablando de la salatu salam ala nabina Muhammad wa

00:00:29--> 00:00:31

salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.

00:00:35--> 00:00:36

inshallah

00:00:37--> 00:00:40

Bismillah. With the help of Allah with

00:00:41--> 00:00:46

only his help we start a new book today which is on the smart life

00:00:47--> 00:00:52

which is the 99 Names of Allah subhanaw taala.

00:00:53--> 00:00:59

Now these names of Allah, the names of Allah they're not only restricted to 99

00:01:00--> 00:01:06

because it has been said inside it has been said in Hadees that

00:01:08--> 00:01:13

in various Hadith and also in the Quran, you will find names that are outside the 99

00:01:14--> 00:01:29

However, in a Hadees of Timothy also in Buhari, you find that I've overlaid all of the alarm on who has reported an entire 99 names in a whole sequence from Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam

00:01:31--> 00:01:32

and

00:01:34--> 00:01:55

there's great benefit in these names which inshallah we will will go through one by one. But just as we start this I'd like to mention that we are covering the book on the 99 Names of Allah by Imam shamsudeen Abdullah Mohammed, Ahmed Ansari, Alico to be

00:01:56--> 00:02:06

the man to be is one of those scholars, who has, who has been, who is one of the greatest scholars

00:02:07--> 00:02:54

of his time on the radio scalable this time he passed away in 671. His era he was in Cordova, which is kotoba, Islamic name for he was called to ban and caught the vine, Spain, which was an Islamic country. He has received very famous Tafseer, which is in several volumes. And if you actually look at Mr. C, you'll be amazed at how much knowledge a lot of Amazon had given him. On every single eye on every word is able to spend pages and pages, just continuing to expand on the meanings and other in these in the eyes of the Quran.

00:02:56--> 00:03:00

And Imam contoura mala, he starts off this,

00:03:01--> 00:03:14

he starts off this book, by praising Allah subhanaw taala. And he says that we thank Allah for guiding us to these names, guiding us to the to recognizing His names.

00:03:16--> 00:03:25

Because these are the names that give us a recognition to Allah subhanaw taala who would not know Allah without these names?

00:03:26--> 00:03:51

So great thanks to him and a great, great thing that was so Lassila Larson has done for us in reporting these things to the oma. The actual asthma are the names of the oma, Allah subhanaw taala has said in sudo, rr, which is the seventh surah Ayah number 180. Allah has said when he left him a smile for the rojava

00:03:52--> 00:04:23

Allah has many beautiful name so Allah has beautiful names for him, to Him alone belong these beautiful names for the room who be here. So now ask Allah through these names. So what Allah has done in this era, the 100 and 81st, sort of RFPs he's asking us to specifically ask him by saying Yeah, law, yada, yada, yada, yada, yada, yada

00:04:26--> 00:04:30

yada, yada, yada. And so on so forth.

00:04:31--> 00:04:39

allies, asking us to ask them through these through these names. Now, you will find certain there are certain orlimar who have

00:04:40--> 00:04:47

make it a practice when they when they're making a draw. They go through all these names one by one,

00:04:48--> 00:04:56

from your Allah, Allahu Allah, Allah Allah Allah who then those a Yama Yama Yama Rahim Allah to the last name

00:04:58--> 00:04:59

of the 99 names you

00:05:00--> 00:05:04

coated in that particular Hadith, and then they will make law,

00:05:05--> 00:05:36

then they will make law because Allah Subhan Allah for any sort of law, that to Allah belong these names. And he's asking us to call him through these names. So they call it there's some other Allah, I've come across beautiful drawings that they've got. One way is to actually name that they mentioned every name. And with that name, they they mentioned something in the Hadees or in the Quran to do with that name.

00:05:37--> 00:05:39

So, for example, they might say,

00:05:40--> 00:06:07

when they come to us Sameer and yeah, bossy Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam has has a lot of my test smell kalamunda What are our mccannon our law you are hearing all our words that we are seeing at this moment, you see our exact space, our place in at this moment. And and then he continues to say God, so when they will come to some year, they will say that when they come to another name of Allah.

00:06:10--> 00:06:38

For example, they might come across a Rob, and there are several several hobbies and perangkat has to do with using the name Rob, which is the provider. And they will say those drawers under those are when they reach those names. And it's a lengthy draw, to learn to draw some mollema or some some of the seller or the producers have taken that. Some others have taken a stance in calling

00:06:39--> 00:07:01

a few of these names, which is fine. You can say whichever of these names you want. Whenever you want, unquote Allah you can just say yeah, Allah and make your dog you can just say, No, some Allah Subhana Allah they found benefit and look, not everything. You You must find when you do something, not everything you have to find.

00:07:03--> 00:07:48

If you want to do something personal, I'm saying if you want to do something personal, you just want to do it yourself. You don't have to find a heartbeat for everything you want to do as long as it's within certain parameters. For example, if somebody wants to now go into sudduth and introduce they want to just you know, say that okay, Subhan Allah, Allah Subhana Allah who will be handy he's this wahana Lyra Allah, Allah, Allah Subhana Allah Subhana Allah will be handy and many of these different drawers are there to say in the in the suit, and you will even find some drawers from Rasulullah sallallahu. Specifically, he said in this video, however, if somebody wants to say, if

00:07:48--> 00:08:29

somebody wants to say Allahu Allah, Allah give me this Allah grant me this, and they don't know the army, but they want to say Allahu mirzakhani hada Allah marzipan he had Allah provide me this will not provide me this. So there are something from Allah and they want to do it Institute and they want to go into rocket Salah. Now, you're not going to find a Hadith, specifically that you should say this, especially if you don't know the Arabic. But there's something that I tell people that you can actually say this, if you don't know the Arabic, you don't know how to ask a line Arabic, but you're going to sudo and you want to ask Allah this particular thing. Give me this. Now how are you

00:08:29--> 00:09:08

going to say? So if you if you know, just this phrase, Allah grant me this and in your mind, you bring that thing in your mind? Allah subhanaw taala is there to know what you what you're after? And he will, he will inshallah, if he will, he will grant it to you. But you won't. My point is you won't find a hadith for this. So is it wrong of me to tell people to say alarmist, but it's not wrong. It's not wrong, because there's nothing that is against this in the in the Sharia. So sometimes, what you have to look at is, if it's something that you're doing on a personal level, or a few individuals are doing it, when there's nothing in the Sharia to say that you're doing

00:09:08--> 00:09:50

something against it, then it's fine for you to do it. And and there's no one or there's nothing that that is done wrong to go ahead and do do a practice like this. However, if the large part of the oma starts to believe that this is the way to ask a lot, a lot more, a lot more. Let's just have it in the mind, and then make it a practice a big custom. And people start to make it a tradition and generation now of generation people are not going to look at it as this is the way to ask Allah and it's not in the Sunnah to say a Lama Zopa, now it will it will become a Buddha. Now to become a Buddha because now a large part of the oma or part of the oma even if he's part of the oma, they

00:09:50--> 00:10:00

believe that this is something which you must do in this manner to get what you want. Then Then it's on that on those people, too.

00:10:00--> 00:10:47

steer away from that and to do something different. Okay? So for example, in the in the smell landlessness certain, or Lama have used certain names, certain names a number of times calling him, and they found that the door or whatever they wanted has been accepted. Okay, the founder, and if somebody has experienced that they're allowed to go to other people and to tell them, I have experienced this. And I'd like you to experience it, as well, there's nothing wrong with that, as long as the oma in a large portion does not make it or does not feel, or does not think believe that this is a Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu. So this is something in the deen that we must do in this

00:10:47--> 00:11:01

manner. So one thing I want to say for example, ln Latif, which is a lie is so delicately so intimate. He's so he's so gentle with love, and intimacy with his service.

00:11:02--> 00:11:44

Somebody might have found that to say you're lucky for 1000 times brings a great amount of Rama and mercy of Allah towards them. So they'll say, yeah, lovely, if we are lucky, if we are lucky, yellow fever, yellow fever. So again, look, you don't have to do this. I'm not saying you have to do this. But some Allah will find some, some, some great individuals of this oma have found that to say certain names with certain numbers will give benefit. Now, some others are completely against this. And they will say, we should not fixate a certain number to these names. And that's fine, if you want to do that. But what we want to establish is, for example, one thing to be says here,

00:11:45--> 00:12:22

which is if you're calling a last name, and you want to get get His mercies nice to know the meanings of these names, what is it? Who is it that you're calling, because one is in I wanted to add fan, one is knowledge, and one is recognition. Knowledge is when we know what is about what the thing is about what what is Iran, which is recognition. It's a deeper understanding of the name. So that is exactly what we're trying to establish through this book, which is we want to gain a deeper establish of knowing the names of Allah so that we can come closer to him by asking him these names.

00:12:23--> 00:12:28

Furthermore, when he says that in Bukhari and Muslim,

00:12:29--> 00:12:33

there's a hadith from Abu Dhabi, Allah Han who says,

00:12:34--> 00:12:41

in another solo line is a la Hollis alum and Rasul Allah, Allah has more power in Allah He T. Sato notice

00:12:42--> 00:12:51

me at an 11 lava Haider, man of Sahaja holla Jana, Allah has 99 names

00:12:52--> 00:13:11

100 but one, meaning that one less than 100 Whosoever faha whosoever will do alpha, and I'll come to that meaning, they will enter Jannah Now, what is a Swami whosoever will do this they will enter Jannah

00:13:12--> 00:13:23

now, goes into the whole of this meaning of what I saw her is and the predominant the dominant meaning of it is that whosoever will will

00:13:24--> 00:13:25

committed to themselves

00:13:26--> 00:13:32

commit to them. Now, how does it mean that how do you commit to these names?

00:13:36--> 00:13:48

A man good to be says some nourish some orlimar have said this word is a Sahaja Asada, which would mean that you commit to teaching these names to others.

00:13:49--> 00:13:52

And you commit to teach them in its fullest meaning.

00:13:54--> 00:14:01

But then he says that, that is not the basically that is not the most common understanding of that Hadees and that word

00:14:03--> 00:14:05

is not a thought, aha, exactly.

00:14:06--> 00:14:56

Which is more common. One of the meanings we're gonna have said is that, that you become a person who looks searches for these names, searches for these names. So what you do then is you look in the Quran and you try and find the names that are related to for example, you find the name Brahma ways are among the Quran. So you search for that, you find the name, Wali, and if you look in the Quran, where are these names of Wali in the Quran, so this is searching and trying to find is another type of search, which I found certain people have knowledge. What they do is, they look for the occasion they're in and they will look for a name of the 99 names

00:14:57--> 00:14:59

to use in those occasions.

00:15:00--> 00:15:12

Specially occasions of distress, or occasions when people need to find an answer to some of the problems or solutions to some of the problems that they have.

00:15:13--> 00:15:15

For example, if somebody

00:15:17--> 00:15:23

if somebody wants a dry answer, somebody wants to answer, the last one of his name's Mooji

00:15:25--> 00:15:36

Mooji? Which is the the, the one who answered was, so they will say emoji, the emoji emoji the emoji emoji. And they will continue to say emoji because they want this to be answered.

00:15:37--> 00:15:45

And then found there found that if they do this, then Allah is more likely to answer the doors.

00:15:47--> 00:16:04

If If there's someone who's who's lost as someone who is someone who needs to wake up, someone who needs to wake up at a certain time, so so they'll they'll say the word that they'll say the name or like a bias bias is the one who makes you rise.

00:16:06--> 00:16:53

So yeah, very good advice. Yeah, bars, and their sound. Now this is done in Hades, but they found themselves in as their own experience, that if you use those names, with the intention of getting what you want, in those particular moments, when you need it most, then Allah will allow to help you. Someone who's for example, who's poor, was poor. And I need to be enriched with some wealth. A lot. One of us our last name is money, money, which is who enriches somebody else who gives somebody riches or who provides them with wealth and so on. So to say your money, your money, your money, yeah, money. Yeah, moving on. To repeat that constantly. They're found that Allah subhanaw taala,

00:16:53--> 00:17:34

comes to the aid with trying to enrich them with something that didn't have. So this is one thing to do with why some of them have said, a Sahaja means that you actually search for you search for these and meaning that you search for the occasion most suitable for these names. And you will try and use those names in those in those ways. Now, inshallah, what we'll do is as we go along the names, I will tell you certain things that people have found, when I say people, I mean, Allah, people who are close to Allah, they have they have used these names in a certain way. And they found these benefits of these names. Again, if you're a person who doesn't want to do that, and doesn't want to

00:17:34--> 00:17:43

use this particular name, because it's not in the sooner something that's your stance. But there's nothing wrong, I'm telling there's nothing wrong in you testing,

00:17:44--> 00:18:21

or trying these names out in certain occasions on your own accord. Because Allah said, What in law, law, he has the best of names, he has the most beautiful names. So ask him. Now, he didn't go into the tuxedo. He didn't go into the explanation of fatherhood, Bihar, how to ask him when to ask him and so on. His left to open first, his left, left open for us, just as you will find even certain Sahaba they did certain things. on their own accord. They read certain things without prior, prior

00:18:22--> 00:18:27

Hadees that they received from Professor Mullah. They did it for example, that famous Hadith in Bukhari

00:18:28--> 00:18:49

famous Hadith in Bukhari, where the Sahaba are on a journey and they pass by a place and some villagers come out and they say, Halloween come in rock. Is there anyone amongst you who who knows how to heal a person from the snake of poison from from the poison of a snake?

00:18:50--> 00:18:53

So that one of the savvy says,

00:18:54--> 00:18:58

if I do it for you, what will you give me in return?

00:19:01--> 00:19:03

And then he starts bargaining with them.

00:19:04--> 00:19:10

Now, some of the other Sahaba that were with him. They were frowning and thinking, What is he doing?

00:19:12--> 00:19:22

He's now bargaining that he's going to do this. So they waited until he bargained he said, if I do it for you, you you will give me 30 I think was

00:19:24--> 00:19:25

30 goals or 30. She

00:19:26--> 00:19:50

so they agreed. So he came straight over, he saw the person who was bitten by a snake. He rates to the heart to her sort of fat to her, but I think it was seven times the blue on to the individual. I'm not quite sure if it was seven, I was one. But anyway, it's in Sahil Buhari where he blew on to the person after reading it and through that lag if she factor this dispersal.

00:19:52--> 00:19:55

Now when this happened, and they gave the 30

00:19:57--> 00:19:59

animals to this individual, they fell into dispute.

00:20:00--> 00:20:36

Now, what's very interesting about this is, it's very interesting about this is that of course, the Sahaba. They they will also, you know, half of them were frowning on this fact that how can you do something like this? And this other side feels that it's fine. You know, I, you know, I had something in my mind what I would do this and I did it in work, and now I'm going away with something that I didn't have, and they reach the prophets of Allah said on the profit and loss and then I have to comment on this. So what did the prophet of Islam say Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam said that it was completely fine for him to do that. And he said, if you've got

00:20:38--> 00:21:09

any left, you may, you may want to include me into a portion of of the of the sheet for some that that you got. I think that there's one one has to do with that. And if it's, if by the least you want to say that Rasulullah sallallahu didn't reprimand the individual who did this, but my point of this hadith is that if there was a hadith from the Prophet sallallahu wasallam that for the poison of a snake,

00:21:10--> 00:21:20

recite Surah Fatiha, then either the Sahaba would have known that we're traveling with him. Or they would have said, What's your delille? Once you tell him

00:21:21--> 00:21:22

that you're going to do this?

00:21:23--> 00:21:52

And he would have said, Okay, I heard from Rasulullah sallallahu. I saw perhaps a lower on a Salaam that he did this on one occasion, but he didn't. And neither will you find any Hadith where Rasulullah sallallahu is using pseudo Fatiha and he's curing someone from the poison of a snake. But what what? What does this whole Hadith say? This Hadees tells us that if somebody on an individual basis wants to use something from the Quran and Sunnah,

00:21:54--> 00:21:57

for whatever reason they want to, then it's completely fine.

00:21:58--> 00:22:39

It's completely fine as long as they have Okay, fine later on Rasulullah sallallahu has agreed to this person, whatever he did, and it becomes part of the student anyway, but when he did it, when he actually did it, he didn't say well, let me let you guys wait let me go to the Prophet Allah let me ask them Can I read certified there for the poisonous of a snake? You know, he didn't do that he just went ahead and did it. So my point again here is if people want to use the the Rebbe or the experience of the LMR before us, and if people want to use these names in a way that brings us benefit and fun, go ahead and use those just like they found benefit inshallah Vina, you'll find

00:22:39--> 00:22:55

benefit. So here a man called to be says that one of the meanings are artha, whosoever will do axotomy whosoever will investigate, continue to search for these names continue to continue to go after these names, then they will enter Paradise.

00:22:57--> 00:23:42

In another narration, there is a hadith that says, Man haffi raha, whosoever will do his have these names. Now, what does that mean? That means whosoever will memorize these names, or it means whosoever will, will guard these names. There's two meanings again here. In another Hadith, he says, Man, have you ever heard anyone quote to be says that this is a sight This is also a generation or a an authentic narration of the word perhaps, which would mean what, which would mean that you now memorize all the names from beginning to end, one by one, and this is one of the things inshallah I want to do through this, through these lessons. And every time we we, we come to a new name,

00:23:43--> 00:24:25

and we'll try to do it in the exact order of the Hadith. Every time we come across a new name, the beginning of the lesson here, I want all of us to go through the names from the beginning after that, is that okay? So one by one is going to take you nice can take a bit of time to get through the 99. But one by one, two, by to be some some weeks, and we might cover two, three names. And some weeks, we might just not even cover a whole one completely. So as we go along the names, I want you with me to memorize the 99 names inshallah. So then we get the benefit of this Hadees. Well, if you means that you memorize the 99 names, and you go to gender, then we get that benefit

00:24:26--> 00:24:28

in a another.

00:24:32--> 00:24:46

In another understanding of how to which the meaning is guarding these names. What does that mean? It means that you bring in new cells, you bring in the cell yourself the qualities of these names.

00:24:47--> 00:24:56

So for example, when you read Rahman and Rahim, you reflect on the names and you try and bring mercy into yourself.

00:24:58--> 00:24:59

Exactly. You bring them up.

00:25:00--> 00:25:07

For, for example, the Saudis about the rocky moon, but those who have mercy

00:25:08--> 00:25:17

and those who have mercy, or Rahim on Yahoo law, those who have mercy on the earth, Allah Who is the man has mercy on them.

00:25:18--> 00:25:59

There's a hadith along those longer meaning we'll come to that heading for new cover on shallow particularly. But what does that mean? That means that allies rochman allies Rahim Allah has mercy. So now if I haven't, if I bring this quality of mercy inside myself, then Allah will have mercy on me. So for example name could do which means that a lie is absolutely pure, absolute pure so I'm going to bring purity in my life. But when it comes to something positive that I should have as a servant of Allah I bring those a god those things within my life. Okay, but when it comes to something that I shouldn't have, like, for example, the word moussaka which is Allah has the he

00:25:59--> 00:26:09

rightfully has the the position to to express his greatness over everything else.

00:26:12--> 00:26:34

But we don't have that right. We shouldn't be with a committee we shouldn't be those people who are so proud of ourselves that we look down on another that we feel others are lower than us, when Allah has that right. So, when we come across that name, we should then think of ourselves as humble that Allah is them to come in and I should be I should be one who is absolutely humble in front of his his nature.

00:26:35--> 00:26:43

Is that clear? Yeah. So like that along the names will come to them one of the one of the meanings that we bring the quality of that language in our lives.

00:26:44--> 00:27:33

Another meaning a man could be says is to understand these names for understanding of these names. Another one he says is to place every name within it right place. So for example, if your belief or your aqidah this because these names will form our beliefs about Allah, when Allah has used a particular name for himself, and you believe it in its right form, and you don't go to one extreme or another extreme, that means that you have not an X Haha, you have now completed what props Allah has been said that you have an alpha agenda, whosoever will now place husana will believe in these names in its proper form.

00:27:34--> 00:27:35

Then they will go to

00:27:38--> 00:28:13

another one is to use these names to reveal our belief and reveal Allah. So that means that I know last name. And by knowing Rama and called Rama by known Rahim, Bonanza is so specific to discern by knowing his Malecon, he's the king and by now he's got all these different names. I'm only going to have the album and the reverence of Allah in my heart, the more I know about these names, the more I will reveal a lot. And that is the meaning of Manasa, whosoever will will reveal a lot in his proper form by knowing these names, they will enter them.

00:28:14--> 00:28:19

And the last meaning he reports is that whosoever will will.

00:28:22--> 00:28:31

Yeah, so the last one I've already said which is the practice upon these names, the practice upon these names. So for example, when it is to do with

00:28:34--> 00:28:38

the woman to come to a name of Wally,

00:28:39--> 00:28:53

Wally, Allah is the guardian. For me to try and become a closer to Allah, our aim is close Caribbean's close one. So I try and bring myself close to Allah to practice these names, when that person goes into general.

00:28:55--> 00:28:57

To be has got quite a long

00:29:00--> 00:29:31

beginning introduction to this book. And what I want to do is, as I go through this book, I want to cover every week part of the introduction because it's quite a long introduction. But at the same time, I want to go straight to the name as well. So what I will do is every week I will do part of the introduction I've done about a couple of three chapters of summarize three chapters of his introduction. And now I want to go straight to the name of Allah, the first name of the 99 names.

00:29:32--> 00:29:33

So here,

00:29:34--> 00:29:40

even got to be says that the name of Allah subhanaw taala, Allah, Allah, that name itself,

00:29:42--> 00:29:44

this is according to some Allah.

00:29:46--> 00:29:57

According to some Allah This is one of this is one of the greatest names on the greatest names because Allah has started the Quran with this name

00:29:58--> 00:29:59

how Allah started

00:30:00--> 00:30:00

This name

00:30:05--> 00:30:06

Bismillah

00:30:07--> 00:30:31

part of sort of Fatiha is Bismillah Ar Rahman AR na part of all the others the difference between Allah whether between Iran is part of every single surah or not, but definitely about Fatiha. Bismillah R Rahman Rahmani Raheem block Coronavirus is part of it. Some say it's not part of it. But a lot of the autumn I do say that it's part of part of the law started with that, in the name of Allah Bismillah.

00:30:33--> 00:30:38

Allah has also started Even if you say suta sort of had to have beginning the first name that appears in the Quran is

00:30:40--> 00:31:10

Allah, Allah hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen. So Rob comes next to Allah. And there's a big hidden meaning in this. Allah said because what he says later on is Mohammed II says that one of the qualities of Allah is to know him as a rub, one of the qualities of allies to know him as the rub which is the provider. So if you look at the if you know Allah, if you know Allah, you know, Rob

00:31:11--> 00:31:27

we talked about the same being here. You know, Allah you know, that he provides. So one of the things that you look at when you look at Allah is that you know that Allah provides us why most of the drivers of the MBR they start with what word

00:31:28--> 00:31:32

in the Quran, most of rather than via what what where do they start with

00:31:33--> 00:31:41

cabana and you have to be has extensively gone through many different graphs that start with Rabbana.

00:31:42--> 00:31:51

He says when the hookah of Rasulullah sallallahu ministered to hookah, he started with Alhamdulillah Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam wrote the letters he started with the name of Allah.

00:31:53--> 00:32:05

When Allah has told us about his Beautiful Names is suited to Iraq, he said lilla Hill astronomers know for a lot of these beautiful names so he's made this the basis allies the basis of all of these names.

00:32:06--> 00:32:28

When we find in, in the in the people of the past, because these names a lot of these names that you know the Macan people when Rasulullah sallallahu came to them, they didn't recognize they didn't recognize the the other names of Allah, they knew Allah. They knew Allah. But they didn't know for example, ramen.

00:32:29--> 00:33:15

They didn't know ramen. So in the Quran, if you look in Surah Furqan, the 25th suit of the Quran, verse number 60, you will find Allah says when they're told to prostrate to the man, they say, well, matter of man, or a man whose man is the man people run Rasulullah sallallahu on the day that they weren't, they weren't aware of Who's this? Why is he using? You know, some of them even said, If Allah is one and he's saying Allah is one then why is he using all these other names for Allah? Why is he using Raman and so on? So you find that many of the people in the past didn't know some of these names. However, they all knew the name of Allah. So if you look in the people of North what

00:33:15--> 00:33:48

the people have not said is north was the first messenger onto the earth. Allahu salatu salam in the Quran. Surah min on the 23rd surah of the Quran, verse number 24. You will find, they said to say that a new ally Salah Willow sha Allah if Allah will land xlm Allah, Allah would have sent angels down to us madisonian Abbey had a fever in an hour. We haven't heard anything about this in our forefathers. So they said well, oh sha Allah, if Allah will to the name of Allah is there in the people of North? When hood and he said

00:33:49--> 00:34:10

when? When he started to say to the people who had people, the Giants he gave him dhara they said a gitana Lina de la vida, have you come to us so that we may worship Allah alone? calu tenali nabooda la vida, you come to us to worship Allah alone, so they knew the name of Allah.

00:34:11--> 00:34:12

And

00:34:13--> 00:34:14

again, with with

00:34:16--> 00:35:00

the different almost with different people, even with the Moroccan people, Allah said to the to Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam he said, these people who are around if you were to ask them, who created the heavens and the earth, they will say Allah, they will surely definitely say Allah. This is in Surah Lockman. Sort of man surah number 31 verse number 25. When I insert the human Hala personality will lay aku nama they will definitely say Allah if you ask them who's created, who is created the heavens and the earth, but one thing I'm called to be says n equals an ayah of surah. Yousuf Yousuf, which is the 12th Sutra and verse number

00:35:00--> 00:35:18

106 one ma you know accelero whom biLlahi illa homebush deikun One of the things about not knowing Allah c one is to not knowing Allah with the IDE for not recognizing Allah properly is that you know Allah but you still assigned partners with him.

00:35:19--> 00:36:07

You still assign partners with him. So here you've got for example, Allah subhanaw taala says that the Arabs are the mushriks the mushriks are the policies who are in Rasulullah sallallahu. Jasmine's time they would they would say Allah but they had statues and other things around them which they used to call all these other names lat was Manhattan's and so on. And when it came to Allah, they recognized him but they but they recognize him in a different way. They didn't see him as the provider of everything they've been seen as Rob they didn't see him as the one who only had the soul worthy of worship. They didn't see that they saw that okay, we can worship you a lot we can worship

00:36:07--> 00:36:28

these idols they saw okay we can get from you Allah but we'll get from all these other idols. So one of the things is not to know one of the things of not knowing a law properly is not to know the fact that you are possibly committing shill or signing partners with him in one way or another. So this ayah in the Quran in uncooked we use this to say

00:36:29--> 00:36:46

that we need to we need to know that all the 99 names are only describing Allah subhanho wa Taala and all these qualities are within it. So he quotes a hadith in Muslim and Buhari by Abdullah bin Masuda the alarm.

00:36:47--> 00:36:48

This Hadith says

00:36:49--> 00:36:51

the Hadith howdy howdy

00:36:52--> 00:37:06

four h one six in Muslim 2775 and in Ahmed is 3614. Where Abdullah with Masuda de la mano, he says is Tama in debate class is nothing.

00:37:08--> 00:37:30

There are three different people who came to the Kaaba, two people from the Quidditch game and one savvy one person from the tribe of Saif suceava he came urbanicity where he came or it was the other way around the two from sabetha team on one one was a Qureshi that came and they were Colleen

00:37:31--> 00:37:42

Falco Haku boom there are people whose hearts understood a little a little understanding caffeine

00:37:44--> 00:37:45

shakaama boo

00:37:46--> 00:38:23

but they were people who had a lot of fat on their stomachs. So the this is in the Hadith that they were fat people would literally understanding sitting there and one of them said uttarayan Allah your smile and one of whom do you really think that our allies hearing what we're saying? These obviously politics Do you see really think that allies hearing what we're saying? Another one said? He hears Yes. Now in Johanna wala is now in China. He hears us if we say things loudly, but he doesn't hear us when we say things secretly. And the saying is right from the cover.

00:38:24--> 00:38:31

And then another one said, hang on a minute. If if he can hear us when we saying it loudly.

00:38:33--> 00:38:36

Surely he can hear us when we're saying it quietly.

00:38:38--> 00:38:52

They are debating this in front of the camera and fans of Allah azza wa jal so Allah revealed this verse of the Quran in surah facilite ayah number 22 lahmacun testa Tirana eyeshadow alaikum salam o kumala Apsara Kumara you know,

00:38:53--> 00:39:18

you cannot hide. You cannot hide what your own hearing what your own eyes your own is what your own skin will witness against you on the Day of Judgment. You can't hide them. So Allah subhanaw taala revealed that when they were in doubt of what the real nature of Allah is.

00:39:21--> 00:39:33

Now, another beautiful thing about it is that as long as someone on the earth is saying, Allah, Allah, as long as someone The earth is a lot luckier man or the Day of Judgment can come.

00:39:35--> 00:39:51

The Day of Judgment cannot come and this is a hadith in Bukhari, where Rasulullah Salallahu alaihe salam, he says, saya de la takamasa while out of the way Naboo Allah, the day of judgment will not come.

00:39:52--> 00:39:59

While on the earth there is someone who will say Allah and another Hadith he says la Taku sobre la you

00:40:00--> 00:40:20

Fill up the Allah Allah the Day of Judgment cannot come until no one on the earth remains to say Allah Allah. This is in various Hadith and Muslim is Hadith number 40 848. And its various other books like Mr. Muhammad Abdullah Rosa has also reported it

00:40:23--> 00:40:26

okay. So, this is not the beauty of this of this name.

00:40:28--> 00:40:31

Now, there is another part to this which is

00:40:33--> 00:41:26

the name of Allah What is it made of, because in Arabic some of you who know Arabic days Alif Lam Alif Lam comes to try and identify something with specifically. So, for example, if you said keytab means a book, but if you said Al Kitab it means the book so you make it you identified. So, if you were to say this book, you say you want to have Akita you can say, this is a book, but you want to say this specific Will you say have al Qaeda, Al Islam there? So, the debate amongst the scholars was, is the name of Allah, the Alif Lam in Allah, is it is it specifically part of Allah His name, or are we using it as an extension to the word to his name la was his name LA and then we said,

00:41:26--> 00:41:36

Allah, what was the actual specific to that? Now, Ivanka says that most of the scholars, great scholars, including mom, Shaftesbury in

00:41:38--> 00:42:14

Erbil, Mohali, Tavella, bizarrely, cardi, B, and so on, so there's quite a few names as mentioned, he's saying all of them are of the opinion that the Alif Lam they're a part of his original name, there are no extension to his name. That is the reason why when we call Allah we say and we were using you putting Yeah, in front of it, we say Oh Allah, where you know, normally in Arabic what you do is that you may drop that Islamic So for example, if you say, if you're using any of the 99 names 99 names apart from

00:42:15--> 00:42:56

apart from the word Allah, you will drop the Elif lamp so for example, you will not say yeah, of Rama. Yeah, or Rahim Yeah, Al Malik. You don't say that. You say yada. yada he Yeah, Malik Yakubu. But for Allah the name of Allah you have to say yeah, Allah. You can't say Yama, Yama. I mean some people say that as a as a you know exactly a it's actually colloquial to say that Yella Yella Yella, what they're doing what they really should say yada yada as in calling him but sometimes they use this as a phrase

00:42:57--> 00:43:18

and they and they they sort of almost miss out the hanzomon to our Hamza Katya The, the part of Allah is a Yella and they miss out in that and people do that but the real way to call Allah is what Ya Allah just like you know when we when say some people say Mashallah

00:43:19--> 00:43:22

he's actually wrong. The proper way to say well is

00:43:23--> 00:43:39

Masha Allah, Masha, Allah, that's the proper way of saying it, or some people say, inshallah, inshallah. That's actually wrong. It should be in sha Allah in sha Allah

00:43:41--> 00:43:52

Okay, so please try and change that because it's, it's becoming a norm that we will just say inshallah inshallah. Mashallah. So I'm supposed to be in sha Allah, Masha Allah

00:43:57--> 00:44:01

imagine so. So you're gonna Abdullah bin Abbas of the Lama

00:44:03--> 00:44:23

has said that, one of the one of the paths to the whole thing about Allah, he said, it comes from Illa it actually came Illa which is his, the deity of Allah or him being worthy of worship, it comes from that, some have said that

00:44:24--> 00:44:35

the apostle or the actual part of it from Willa, which is the guardianship of closeness, it comes from there. Some others have said,

00:44:36--> 00:44:37

that

00:44:41--> 00:44:59

is from Allah Hi, yah, Allahu, which means when a person is when a person is in fear, and they run to someone that they can get there that they can have, get some peace from them, or be safe and protected. That's where this name

00:45:00--> 00:45:08

comes from so the original is Alinea which means the person is scared they move to the come to Allah Allah protect me and that's where the name of Allah come from.

00:45:10--> 00:45:51

So Eman Number says that in that ayah in the Quran surah verse number 127 whereas Arakawa attack, wherever Qawwali attack he says there's another way of reciting this verse. Whereas Arakawa Illa attack, which means they fear you and they fear worshipping, not a bad attack he said instead of Allah instead instead of an attack, it's a lotta which means this to worship Allah. So one of the names of Allah, Allah what is where does that come from? It means that it comes from worshiping Allah mean that he only holds the right to worship, worship Him and no one else.

00:45:55--> 00:46:10

One of the beautiful things about this name which Eman even though Hassan has mentioned is that you cannot use it for anyone there are certain names that you can't use for anyone I said then you can't use rhinoceros for example, you can, you can say someone is

00:46:12--> 00:46:21

is Ronnie is rich, someone is rich, who are the low honey, he's a man who is rich, you can say that.

00:46:22--> 00:46:41

Though our last name is honey. One of our last names is Ronnie. So you can use that to describe others. However, there are certain names Allah has given no authority to anyone to use for anyone else. And one of those names is the name of Allah.

00:46:44--> 00:47:36

One beautiful ayah in the in the Quran to do with because the name of our life is quite a lot in the Quran. The name of Allah is extensive in the Quran and extensively in the Hadith. But one thing to reflect on Imam says is gives a couple of highlights one is in sha Allah homina evaluated Rama part of sort of Fatah, which is the 35th surah is number 28. In Nam if Salam and those who are people of knowledge, they they definitely are the people who fear Allah. So a lot the word Allah should cause fear into a person. This is one thing that you want to be saying. Plus he says in the in the Quran, surah and fan, the eighth surah verse number two, in normal movement on the believers, when they

00:47:36--> 00:47:59

hear alladhina De Luca de la de la Ku Mana name, Allah is mentioned heart start to tremble. So the real way of having Allah in one's one's thoughts and one might one's mind is that hearts will tremble just by knowing the name of Allah. See, I remember one, great one scholar, he said once in one of his

00:48:00--> 00:48:12

lectures, he said, Imagine if you imagine if you are relaxed, man, if you relaxed in your own sort of home, in your living room is relaxed.

00:48:13--> 00:48:18

And person comes and knocks on the door.

00:48:19--> 00:48:27

Doesn't comes and knocks on the door. So with a knock on the door, knocking on the door use, you just relax and say, Who is it? Who is it?

00:48:28--> 00:48:32

And if the president says For example, it's now

00:48:33--> 00:48:39

he might say, you know, zekeriya as a name, he says the Korea

00:48:40--> 00:48:44

now, you might say, the Korea who?

00:48:45--> 00:48:45

With the Korea

00:48:48--> 00:48:53

so you still relaxed? Whoever that name is, whatever that means, okay? You might say Who is that? You still relax.

00:48:54--> 00:48:59

But he said, Imagine that. The person who knocked on the door

00:49:00--> 00:49:01

says to you,

00:49:02--> 00:49:03

when you say Who is it?

00:49:04--> 00:49:08

And they say it's a policeman.

00:49:11--> 00:49:18

Now the moment he says the police Oh, he might say police zaccaria Patel, whatever the name is.

00:49:20--> 00:49:24

Imagine his he uses your PC something before his name.

00:49:25--> 00:49:29

If he uses that, you're not going to be still relaxing on your couch.

00:49:30--> 00:49:34

You probably jump up. He think what a policeman do that model?

00:49:35--> 00:49:36

What do you want from me?

00:49:37--> 00:49:49

CFO. All these things go through your mind. And the person behind the door. You haven't seen him? Sure. You haven't seen him all you see is that you've heard the name.

00:49:50--> 00:49:59

But by the two different descriptions. You either carry on lying on the couch or you jump up

00:50:00--> 00:50:04

What this scholar said, so I said a beautiful thing. He said, Allah, we haven't seen him.

00:50:06--> 00:50:10

Allah we haven't seen him. Knife Allah means

00:50:11--> 00:50:12

it's Allah.

00:50:14--> 00:50:14

Then you relax,

00:50:16--> 00:50:55

relax. But if I love law, and it means the rule is different qualities of what he can do and what is about, if it means that and you know who Allah really is, if you think of a law as the one who's destroyed the giants, the one who has caused earthquakes, the one who, you know, will smash rooftops, or combo rooftops onto people's heads, the one who, who can whose name is tucked in here event is the one who's who's who has a great amount of highness and unsought when you have all these different qualities with Aladdin. Allah is not Allah is Allah.

00:50:56--> 00:51:32

So his point was that we need to get to know Allah, we need to get to know Allah, because without knowing his qualities properly, without putting them all in front of oneself, you're only treating Allah just as any ordinary being. And if you're doing that, then you won't have fear in your heart. And coming back to this, this is in sort of the eighth surah verse number two, when I realized that in our movie, Nora Latina Eva para la guajira kulu. The believers, those people, they are those human Allah is mentioned their heart start to tremble, these are true believers,

00:51:33--> 00:51:49

the true believers, so how to let him say that the Allahu anhu when he was kind of work often in the kita Villa, which means that if you quoted a verse to say the Narmada mahatama Delano, if you quoted the verse to him, he will tremble,

00:51:50--> 00:51:57

you tremble, and he will start crying, and he will stop and he will ponder that was the one of the qualities of a minimum.

00:51:59--> 00:52:40

Now, these days, you know, sometimes even sometimes the Quran is being played. And people are just chatting, chatting, yapping, yapping, whatever, whatever someone even called support, and someone says, you know, there's certain incidents where you take the plan, say one lie II and the Quran is in front of you your Quran, and business people who still lie. There's people who still lie whether they even you know, in the mosque, either whether the taking the name of Allah, what are they saying the word will lie, you know, taking the oath of a lie. You know how severe that is saying by allies swear, which means that, which means that I've got no other witnesses now, but my only witness is a

00:52:40--> 00:53:02

law and I'm taking his name and I'm saying will live by that Allah who will we will return back to by that one who watched our internet I have no other witness that Allah I use a witness now for this case here. That's what life imagine people who live with that on the Day of Judgment, what will happen to them

00:53:03--> 00:53:21

and that will say to them what you took my name from the right from the unseen and you made me a witness. You made me a witness to your statement when it wasn't true. And you want me to be merciful to you and is as valid as him so we're going to make a stop there's a bit more to say With

00:53:22--> 00:53:34

the name of Allah and then inshallah after this name will move towards the name Batman. Okay, so if everyone before we finish, we say who Allahu la de la ilaha illa who say

00:53:37--> 00:53:39

hola love levy.

00:53:40--> 00:53:49

Levy as good with Val Val tongue goes underneath the top two teeth will love levy

00:53:51--> 00:53:53

He's a lady who La Ilaha there is no other one worthy of worship in LA who accept Him who is a Rahman Rahim and miracle kudos inshallah we'll go through these names. Are there any questions before we finish this session? The question anyone has got to do with this session?

00:54:29--> 00:54:32
