Who Is Allah

So the title of the topic

was a lie and why do we need to know him?

Certainly, the beginning, you know, the first half of the fight and which is

much, much smaller than describing a loss provided to you.

I will basically refer you

two allows description of himself

and Alaska describe himself throughout his book, and his messengers have described them, including the last and the greatest of the messengers, Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,

you have a beautiful description, here,

hung up on the wall in the back as a courtesy of Soraka.

And I invite you to read it.

And I invite you to study it, and I invite you to repeat it often. And 30 reflect on each and every attribute of Allah subhanaw taala. In this verse, this is the greatest verse of the Quran. And why is it the grace greatest verse of the Quran? Because it's all about the loss of power, it is all about and it is all about us. And

then

there are two different

locutions or there are two different places and the parameter Alon describe themselves.

One time Allah described himself directly.

And one time Allah describes himself on the tongue of one of his mighty and greatest messengers, that is, say you don't

have the cash.

And I will say this first, because I will focus more on the description of Allah by Ibrahim alayhis salam not because it is greater than the description at the end of sort of a crash. But because it It talks about a lot from our perspective as history.

And then the sooner professional law describes his names and attributes of law says will love

us or

the one medical producer

for liability,

cup of Panama,

for love, suddenly whenever I smell

Boise's or hockey, or Lola visa in a lower radius,

it is a lot besides whom there is no God. I was the Knower of the unseen and the sea.

Water of metal Rahim he has the benefits of the merciful

love and the dynamic that what medical produces ceremony in

the bottom of the capitals of geometry.

It is a love besides whom there is no God.

The sovereign

the sovereign, can produce the whole,

the giver of peace as

the keeper of faith, and

the preserver of security and the guardian and Mohave the mighty Colossus, that can you pillar above the supreme and accomplish

so the handle I am a goon Glory be to Allah above when they set up as partners with him. Glory be to Allah above what they set up as partners. We've had

a lot of hypervariable so what is

he who's the Creator, is Allah,

the creator, and they're the originator. And also, the fashion.

Lower as normal. The person next to him belongs the beautiful names

to him doing all the beautiful names

Some people have said that it was

everything in the habits and everything in the on Earth, glorify Him, whatever is in the heavens, and whatever is on Earth, glorify

who he is, or Hakeem and he is the mighty, and the wise.

So, these last three verses have sort of attached, the also the also where our attention and learnt our reflection, and where our changes, chanting of these verses with ourselves. Like, you know, oftentimes, we waste so much time, you know, stuck in traffic, here in New Jersey,

you know, we waste so much time waiting in line. And if you are just waking up, you know, in line or you're you're stuck in traffic, and you change those verses, if you memorize any chance to turn those verses that is basically connecting with a loss of power. It is about more brick emission of a loss.

Undoubtedly, America

undoubtedly more recognition of a law will result in more blood of Allah subhanaw taala. Because the more you recognize a love is a tree, the possessor of the Most Beautiful Names and attributes, the Most Merciful, the most beneficial, and will do the most compassionate shockula grateful, the loving, the more you recognize a lot, and the love for more. So it is a virtuous cycle versus the vicious cycle are two different closed cycles.

They're both close with what is vicious, and what is virtuous. And here we're talking about the first one cycle of recognition and love and more recognition leading to more love and more love inviting you to get to know him better, so that he can love him more, and so on and so forth. So those who are in love with Allah, they learn more about the law, so that he can be in more love with a loss.

And they can basically immerse themselves in that virtuous cycle of Baraka or hope, recognition, and love.

But the verses that I wanted to talk about today in particular are those verses in sort of the genre, whatever it is that I've sent to the steam parlor for I

do end

up at the moon for in the Hollywood de la vida de de

de de hoy me was Steve for in America who SP What do you mean 20 some million he will level up America young fella leave it at home at the

end, I will just focus on

these verses. Carla Aiko, McIntosh, this is him talking to the speaker. He's introducing us to his people. And certainly, you know, someone of my size

will benefit a great deal from his introduction of God.

You know, Brahim is the second greatest after the

second greatest of the last creation, the second greatest of mankind after prophet the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So Ibrahim said to them caught on fire. I told my cousin Tabitha, and he said, Have you seen those that you use the worship? Have you seen those deities that you have been worshipping for in the home or do the

enemy? They're all my enemies, except for the Lord of the world's problem? A lot. I mean, except for the Lord of the words. And it is, you know, sometimes we

feel too shy to say the truth and I'm not saying that you will always speak in this

perfected assertive assertiveness because your

your your character, your qualities are not out there so that he could speak in a prophetic voice.

Do you know what I'm saying? Like you're not going to talk to the people like a regular people with the assertiveness. forcefulness and the prophetic voice of Ibrahim because of Brahim already.

have witnessed, he was known to be abroad he, Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, he started to preach to the

after he was already known to be a subject that you

would actually looked down.

Or we're actually

perceived with

suspicion and doubt,

if not worse.

So don't speak of a prophetic voice, but understand that there is an importance for assertiveness, clarity, and lack of ambiguity. In other words, they are my enemies, except for the Lord of the worlds. So to clear myself from shift,

to basically set the record straight. I have nothing to do with all of this, there is only one deity that I worship is unlike any of those deities. Without that clarification without making sure that you have complete devotion for Allah subhanaw taala, you will not be admitted into His presence, because he does not pay basically,

people who have

preoccupation with other with other deities, which could be

not necessarily idols, there is actually analyzing the malefics there is

different types of paganism,

different types of idolatry, there is a lot of money, isn't that what the Prophet told was that

the Prophet said price of the dinar price of the

medium of prosper the state of the dinar in this thing.

So Allah does not accept any form of idolatry, a loved one secure devotion. So in order for you to be admitted into His presence, and in order for you to be accepted,

as one of his servants, you will need to clear your heart from any competition.

Any competition has to be completely devoted to Allah saponified. That's not easy, by the way, that is extremely

You know, one of the one of the things that you need to clear hearts is that is basically the pursuit of people's pleasure, that pursuit of people's acceptance, the pursuit of conforming the pursuit of basically

being

accepted by the generality of people, that is, that is a devastating pursuit. And that pursuit is particularly devastating to people who excel and get rid of the other forms of idolatry and purify the hearts of all other forms.

Ship so that people can likes appear as though he said

moderator So, the permanent movies a minimum for years, I have not seen zone

to be more

curse and anything, then the zone for this interest in leadership, because it's about acceptance, it's about people's pleasure, he said that a man could could practice is

that on your sort of yoga mat, the enthusiasm for the asset, the karma, you have either seen that a man could have a good show of his interest in wealth, food, drain, even, you know sexual relations, he would have, he could actually practice Zoo or show his interest and all of that, but once someone competes with me for leadership, for distinction, you know, sibling rivalry,

I want to be my parents favorite.

It is basically wanting to be you know, accepting, wanting to be praised, wanting to be recognized by the people as superior as far as lesser than.

So, he remember, he said that I remember given everything, but once some people someone competes with him for leadership, then he becomes agitated.

Because of that, and he fights and he makes enemies because of the

is different but so I'm just saying this, to say that this is, you know, removal of idolatry from our hearts is not an easy business. Don't think that you got there. Don't think that you have sincerity.

Pack use yourself always have lack of sincerity at use yourself always have the hypocrisy, man, the not

so caught up in the fact that our enemy or an aka D You are

not the sort of major hypocrisy because you know that you're a believer and you know that you believe deep inside.

So how can you stack us themselves off as an economic as the practice is basically to show off one. So that's like a form of makeup to show off is a form of to seek the pleasure of people where you should have been seeking the pleasure of a lot to do something in private, that is good. But then you can keep it for yourself. And you're almost it seemed to tell somebody about, you know, even your wife, or your parents, you're just keeping precepts, although I knew about it, she should have been sufficient for you at some level because that isn't the law sufficient for his servant. You have done it, who also allowed sufficient for you. Madonna melodica, Norma Cara Bahama

Omar said was meant to not be recognized. If the government had already known if the Lord of armour has already recognized, so isn't the most efficient for us, he is certainly sufficient for us. So why are we interesting because somebody about it when a lot so when upon you, you have a lot here, you've done something good, keep it, hide that for another day, for the day of your need. Hide it for the time of your lead, hide that for your first night in the grave, that will be a very

sort of consequences.

Because that is the beginning of the next phase of your existence. If it is good, then everything else, everything beyond will be better. And if it is bad, then everything beyond that will be worse. Why can't we hide it?

We have to practice this. So

let's remove four forms of ideology from our hearts. So that we will be like Ibrahim

model would be a lot of felony felony violence to start us. But all four was very much

enemies except for the Lord of the words. And then he fell upon me for who I had the nice part to describe his Lord. He began with what a lovely fella he will create for who he is he will guides.

I look at the connection that they were emailing suddenly.

He who created the Kennedys evil guys, is very important. That's a very important connection here.

And let me find a penny. For how MD Did anyone make a claim of creation, other than the Lord of the words, the Lord of the Brahim. And you know, the prophets before him and after him, Musa Mohammed before the knowing from Adam alayhis salam, did anyone make that claim?

No.

In fact, the way you reach the doors of Allah,

that the way you get yourself there

is through reflection, cannot

can then you look around and you see that you are here.

And you are the greatest site on his existence, kind of his magnificence and his greatness.

You're here, pinch yourself.

You're not you're here, you're present. You know, some philosophers have issues with

with perception.

But at least you can map out your existence, even the solid since this was not our existence as a certain philosophy,

philosophy as well because if you

power users cannot doubt your existence users

that you personally exist.

And if you exist, you are a great sign of his existence

yourself.

And

a loss of Paragon sort of tour tells us and Polycom and Valley site libraries, this episode about your warning systems allow users to prove his existence through your existence.

Although, although his existence is not in need of your existence to be proven,

but in order for us to comprehend

you know that and that basically reason

to reflect Allah invites us to this discourse he says I'm fully human by the saying come home or family or have they been created by nothing

and homophony for or are they the creators of themselves?

similarity with that lie okay. No, or the decrease the heavens and the earth name they have no surface

common

pika and homeless IQ or the have the depositories of your board or are they in control and political

party created themselves have been liberated by nothing impossible.

Right, someone must have brought you the existence because you could have not assembled yourself in your time of nothingness before you came to existence, how could the non existence harmonic system

being bring himself to existence when he was non existent? On Polycom is a dream

women find a boon or the degree themselves has even heard

you have not been created by by you have been trained by nothing is extremely hard. It is harder to upgrade yourself because you will not existed. And fellow customer want your art that is that is called escalation of argument. That ascendancy of arguments

because it gets from heart to heart the hardest.

Um, hello, Somalia, oh, you came here I found they existed before you, then it would have been even harder that you have created those who have existed before. Those creatures that have existed before you're paired up with some of it along. But now you have a known name, they have no certainty.

And then there is a beautiful fact here's another argument or a beautiful turn into another argument that is completely different. Which is

on to the other depositories of your own

site your own? Or are they control?

Are they in control? So Allah subhanaw taala? is leaving the argument of recreation now. And entertaining a different argument? Are you in control

of the wind? And the rain? Are you in control of the rivers?

And the oceans? Are you in control of the treatment and the trends? Are you in control of your heart beats?

Are you in control of the earnings?

Are you in control of the movements of your intestines? Do you know that your intestines are moving all the time? And are you controlling us even

though we're

not even in control of your body, you're not even control your interiors, you're not even in control of the blood that is moving all the time through your body

you can control the variables Someone must be in control, someone must be in control. The very concept of every ethnicity of that control is so beautiful. So telling the presence of a supreme being that is in control

that is in control and that cannot be a consequence of nature. Because nature must be

an unwinnable agent should be resilient right in his you know how the causes lead to the effects

either natural by natural flow or willful action.

Right as opposed to the effects that induce

effects are unpredictable and completely original meaning there is no reason I mean by

April 24 2016,

will not be like April 24 2015, right?

If this is a product of unnatural coincidence, if all of our existence is a product of unnatural places, April 24, of 2016 2016 16 should be like April 24 2015, right around causes the effects through natural flow, the natural flow has to be a resonant

rhythmic flow, but the fact that it is not and it is not predictable, and no one can predict

no one, get your arms over the one to say that we can be 100% certain of what happens, they will not tell you that we can be 100% certain of what will happen tomorrow, let alone what happened next week, that very every Missa tee is a sign that the one in control is a wonderful agent is about to be

so magnificent and wonderful.

That's the that's the definition of a god.

Magnificent, all omnipotent, all capable and willful with.

So, Abraham is Samson, a lovely fella can

can then we said that no one ever claimed that

he created this university except that have a

look at all the

religions, you know, after you basically reason this way, and you identify that there is a need.

There, there is a necessity.

There is a necessity for the existence of a creator for this universe, there is a rational resistance. It says, a logical necessity, after you have identified this survey the whole world

that all of the religions in this world

can be divided into three groups. They're like there's a paganistic group of religions, and then Eastern philosophies that was Hinduism, you know, Eastern philosophies, Buddhism. And then there are the the the religions that have originally come from the divine from God, that that basically that are based on the messenger ship model, or the model of messengers.

Keep in mind, Buddha did not say I'm a messenger from God, who there was a philosopher, he may have made making introductions to the human thought and human philosophy. The Buddha did not say I am a messenger of God, I deal with a message from God delivered to you. That was

so

since God created this universe,

he should have indeed been He created us and he has a purpose will be and he must have created us for our purpose then you must die for that purpose of Raheem Sterling. Oh Andy, and his evil guys, because it is evil.

And my creator is a purposeful creator. And I have a purpose will be if I do anything purposeless Lee.

If I now do anything purposes, you'll call me crazy.

So I have a purpose for being in my God has a purpose, purpose for God, then he must not communicate with the purpose of my existence. To me Muslim, sent me some guidance which I must look for, which I must find and which which I must fall. Not only that, Ebrahim is pointing out to them, that you should be on the lookout for that guidance that has come to you or that is coming to you or that should come to you from your Lord who created you. That is a vehicle according to Andy. He said to them, since we were created, then we must be on the lookout for guidance from our Creator.

But he was not only pointing this out, but he was pointing out something else.

So let's find out that points out in many parts in the

color of the sun.

Hello. So, I thought was

so,

different from you Doesn't he know what he created when he is the old Southern

Meaning, if you want to look for guidance, who can do better than the one who made you

when I was a young child, I heard this photo from like a very outspoken shape that was very effective in his deliveries and effective in basically convincing people of all ages. And he said, he was saying that

if you buy, if you buy a General Electric fridge

and

you know it breaks would be best capable of ticks

metric agency or whatever,

they will be best at fixing the General Electric fridge, who will be who will be best capable of telling you how to use the functions, the features, the options in that frame, or in your Nisa?

Absolutely. So as a human being someone, maybe

you should be seeking His guidance, and figuring out how you should basically conduct your life, how you should live your life, you should be seeking His guidance, you should be on the lookout for his guidance and you should then conform, comply, and it is only natural for human to comply with the divine.

And let me find a tiny for who I am the

one who told me us Dean and it is he who feeds me and it is he who gives me this dress. And it is he who feeds me this he gives me to drink.

Do you think that you're feeding yourself?

Alice

Walker

and Tesla owners

pharma

in

a variety of boon.

But for it to matter how soon Have you seen that the seeds that you sow?

Are you the ones who make it grow? Or are the Are we the ones who make it grow?

But not savers usually find this the translation? Say Are you the ones who make it grow? Or are we the ones who make

Alaska? Are you the planters Are we the planters so why is effectively telling us that although you call yourself Zara or are

you actually

Your word is so minimal, that is

nothing

What is your work?

You basically you sowed a seed in the ground

that's your work

compare this work to the rest of the work that needs to be done for this seed to become a tree

and then by comparison, your work will be reduced to zero.

Therefore, you will not

have nothing to do. Are you the ones who planted? Are you the ones who make grow? Are you the planters or are we the claimants and it is across Ireland is the claim that your work is so trivial that mathematically it will be reduced to zero when you compare it to the work of Allah from the time the seed has been sown in the ground and that it has become a key or a plan.

And then last and then

why not learn to follow he can it is he who hears me or is he when I fall in.

He hears it.

few verses of poetry

reflecting on this meeting

No matter how, how advanced we become in medicine,

the very doctor that is treating you could die before you.

Even go Brother, yeah shafia, Brody, man,

say to the physician or say to the healer,

who has been snatched by the hand

that

yes, after a long row here, diseases, man or

woman, because we have

different variations

of that guy or healer of diseases, who caused you to die, who came to you, if you are the healer diseases, because you really not that evil.

One day I was approached by a man who said to him, there is no one who knows more about medicine than I do. So that will take care of the abscess in your back. And the profits on some of them are big about his hobby wise.

Put the marina okay.

So say to the sick, or, you know, the ill person

who survived, after all medications, fake, all treatments fake,

who made you survive who cured

for this Selenium to lamina has nothing

to

say to the wealthy one, who dies without any disease, who can cause you to die without any disease. So, that is what the brain tries emphasize here, it is you who face diseases.

And then he says, What are you waiting for my feeling is He who causes me the bar and brings me back to life

is He

Who is

that he will forgive my sin?

So that was his introduction to the people in z.

And it is really that we should be looking for guidance from concerning our wife, you should be looking for the answers to the most pressing

questions that you should look for answers to what are most

most pressing questions, but

basically, the most essential questions to be answered by a human being philosophically.

What are they? Where do they come from? What am I here for? And where am I going?

Those are the existential questions that human beings asked themselves all the time.

Who should tell you about the answers to those questions? Other than the one who created you, the one amazing

so why do we need to know him?

Because basically,

you will never come to terms with your own existence. You will never come to you will never have comfort. You will never have inner peace. You will never have contentment. You will never have stability.

Without knowing

Can you imagine being on a bus enjoying a bus ride if you don't know your final destination?

You're on a bus on a bus train with many people.

And everybody's laughing and everybody is you know, clapping and everybody's having a good time.

Can you imagine just engaging in laughter and clapping and partying with everybody on the bus. When you don't know the final destination of this bus.

You cannot.

You can pretend to be happy.

You can basically get yourself drunk on party while you're in route.

But deep inside,

there will be this undiscovered

deep inside you. You can never come to this. Basically. station of homeless always together

Together

togetherness of your

Entire v,

e all of your dimensions physical, the spiritual, the intellectual,

you will not come together in peace as long as you are not certain of the final destination. And no matter how much you celebrate the company of your friends or enjoy the party in route, you will always have a nagging feeling this dressing

you all the time. Where is this? Where is this bus going? Where is the final destination? Where are we heading to? That is why you do need to recognize your Lord and to connect with your Lord.

So someone who does not know his father, would he not be interested in knowing his father, someone doesn't know his father doesn't even live his life. With this curiosity, keenness eagerness to know who his father was, they do, they do.

But if you don't know who your Lord is,

much worse than not knowing who your father

you need to know Allah, you need to know about

because basically,

spiritually,

you know that umbilical cord is your source of mate nurser on your feet up in your feet of life.

If you cut off your umbilical cord,

in your feet of life, your

demise will be a matter of certainty. If you cut off the umbilical cord, springs will lead your connection with Allah subhanaw taala is your spiritual umbilical cord.

You will suffer from rapid spiritual demise. If you distance yourself from your Lord and created you, he is your source of comfort, your source of tranquility, your source of solace, it is a loss of God and without Him you will never be able to make

last time about us as a sort of

like

a year ago, when he was young.

II who does righteousness whether male or female, while in a state of belief.

While in the State of Belief,

we will shall give them a good life therapy

and we shall reward them according

to their destinies. On the opposite side Allah says

victory in a randomized

or optional way I'm a piano teacher

and he who stays away from my remembrance, he would have a life of distress

on our victories nice you will have a life in the stress. Well actually we omit the empty arm and we shall resurrected on the Day of Judgment live.

Keep in mind No matter how much you tried to escape from it, no matter how much you try to engage in all forms of practice recreation

in all forms of

you know, joy, joyful functions and activities and so on and so forth. It will be a life of distress. Why? Because of many reasons. Because you are in a bus ride not knowing your final destination because the approaching of death itself causes you distress

because that is coming closer. And if you don't know what you're gonna have afterwards that causes you stress. Even the least. You know at least you will be stressed about leaving all this behind. And the more you will have this life The more you will be stressed about leaving behind.

You know people who really have

you know are

on top of, you know the parent

or

The strata of the society, you know, occupy the topmost strata of the society, they, they're the people who are most stressed about leaving this behind. And then when you hit 40 years of age, and you start to feel different about yourself, different about your mom, and he hits 50, you're even feeling weaker. And even though things are giving, you know, you know, you, you know, your knees are the same, like they were before your hips and this and

that, with every year, you will feel some deteriorate. It is a life stress. And it is a life of distress. Because no matter how much you have used the old comparing yourself to somebody else, because a lot of the stress between

the good will give them a life of distress. And we reserved reserved for the blind in

a lot. Trust me your eyes. Keep in mind, if you're the Queen of England, you will be looking at someone else who has something that you don't have.

You will be looking at a lot of people who have things that you don't have, it's all about Well, how about our status? There is well, there is no, there is beauty, there is hands, you know, handsome that's for men, there is basically celebrating their influence. There are so many things. So people who have, you know, we'll get to the task of one of them, they will be looking for the others. So even more, you could be the wealthiest, but you're not necessarily the most healthy

or healthiest of all people. So you will be always comparing yourself to others who have something that you don't have.

That is a form of distress that you will never be able to shake off. Unless you seek your comfort, your solace, your togetherness, your home this year of openness from the source of wholeness and to the loss of

the one who will put you back together. Your Spirit, your intellect, and you're fuzzy. You will be put back together when you connect with him because he is the one who put them all together the first time. You will never be able to redo what he did is unrepeatable. He can only do it. He can only put all of your dimensions back together all of your components back together, quote according others
