			As we discussed before, we're
going to be journeying through the
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			Quran from the lens of the CLR. So
integrating the Quran with the
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:16
			Sierra together and looking at how
the Companions themselves
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19
			interacted with the Quran and how
the tambourine interacted with the
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			Quran. So this is again a seed
that is focused on the
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:27
			chronological development of the
Sierra and the Quran inshallah
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30

			don't wanna dia, Santa, Zeb, Enya
Kela was do the
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:23
			Surah Al Alana, before we begin
with the solar, let's just share a
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:26
			quick reflection. I remember one
of the earliest things that you
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:31
			know, my teachers and my father
has mentioned to me, the Quran is
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:36
			like a vast desert, DESERT, not
desert. The Quran is like a vast
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:40
			desert. Some people walk, and they
look at this desert and they find
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:45
			that it's empty, we don't see
anything, it's barren. So some
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:49
			people do that with the Quran
itself, or within just ancient
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52
			fables and tales that is not going
to be in any shape or form
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:57
			relevant to the modern society in
the modern time. So some people
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00
			look at it as something that's
abandoned and old and barren and
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			useless and impractical.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			Others will look at the desert and
they will look at the surface they
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:10
			will scratch the surface and they
will find you know, minerals and
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:14
			they will find other important
things. Others will dig deeper and
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:18
			they will find rubies and
sapphires. Others will dig deeper
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:23
			and they will find gold and they
will find other ores. Others will
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:27
			dig even deeper and they will find
oil and other rich resources and
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			others will dig deeper and will
find diamonds. So the same thing
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:34
			with the Quran. It depends on how
well you dig and how patient you
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			are. And the person who comes in
if you read the prophesied some
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:42
			university in some commentators
will focus on the linguistic
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:45
			aspect of the Quran because that's
where they trained so they will
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			come in and they will realize the
profundity in the language of the
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:53
			Quran. Others who are trained in
politics will come and realize wow
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:57
			the Quran is full of gems when it
comes to our own political
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			ambitions and our own pull
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			Recall thinking and thought,
others will come from a
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			sociological training, will look
at the Quran and say wow the Quran
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:10
			is full of gems and pointers and
things that you can really
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			appreciate from a zoological point
of view, same thing from a
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			psychological point of view from a
biological point of view. And you
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			will come to realize that the
Quran there are so many different
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:22
			layers and every one of us will
extract from the Quran, that which
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:25
			Allah subhanaw taala allows us to
do so depending on our own
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:30
			ambitions, our own knowledge, our
own training, and of course, most
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:35
			importantly, how much sincerity we
have. And so, we'll always find
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:38
			out you know, when when you teach
the Quran, you see the baraka, you
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:42
			see the blessing in your own life.
You see how it impacts you, it
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:45
			makes you lighter, it makes you
happier, it makes you more
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:49
			encouraged, it makes you more
excited to give back. Because
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			Allah subhanaw taala, you know,
calls this Quran rule Henneman
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:56
			Emelina. It's a, it's got a life
of its own, it's a spirit of its
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			own. It's alive, it interacts with
you,
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:04
			with, with your mind, with your
heart with your soul, it interacts
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:08
			with you on multiple, multiple
layers. And inshallah we'll come
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:13
			to appreciate that together in the
letter. All right, so let's let's
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			look at the screen here and Shala
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			hopefully you can see the screen
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35
			just make a bigger
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			site
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:49
			then hopefully can everybody see
the screen? Does that come online?
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			Perfect.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:58
			So last time, we talked, we
introduced the surah reintroduce
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			the surah. A little bit, and today
inshallah we're going to begin
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:06
			with the second we technically we
did the first Surah first if we
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:11
			said if Bismillah beacon levy
Holla Holla, Al Insana minallah,
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:17
			read in the Name of your Lord, who
created, created what created
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:21
			everything created everything.
First, we discussed that the word
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:26
			clearer and clearer doesn't just
mean to read, it means to read, to
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:31
			recite, to spread, to remember to
begin to share to speak on behalf
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:35
			of Allah subhanaw taala. And the
notes are there for all of us to
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:38
			reflect and to read upon on your
own time and Charlotte at dinner.
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:42
			And we said this Mirrabooka could
mean read on behalf of you, Lord,
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:46
			or read with the assistance of
your Lord, or read knowing that
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:50
			Allah Subhana Allah will show you
every step of the way, and guide
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:53
			you every step of the way. And
last time, just to add on to the
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			reflections that we we shared a
little bit last time. You know, if
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			you look at the story of how the
Prophet Muhammad SAW, send and
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:02
			receive revelation, we see the
human aspect of Rasulullah
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05
			sallallahu Sallam who see that he
runs back to his wife. He's
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:08
			confused, he's worried he's
wondering what's happening to me.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:12
			What's going on? He's confused. So
imagine when you're when you're
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:16
			reading the story of a fake
prophet or a fake messenger who
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:20
			claims that they have received
prophet hood from Allah, or who
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:23
			claims to be speaking on behalf of
Allah. You see that the story is,
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:28
			it's very grand. It's very
ambitious as well as if everything
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:31
			fell in place from the very
beginning and the guy knew exactly
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34
			what was happening. But with Rasul
Allah Azza wa sallam, we see the
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:37
			humanity of Rasulullah sallallahu,
we see the human aspect of
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40
			Rasulullah, Salah, the he's
confused, he goes to his wife, and
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			he tells her I don't know what's
happening to me, and she comforts
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:45
			him and she gives them that
support. And she tells them by
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:48
			Allah, it doesn't matter, Allah,
Allah will never disappoint you.
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:51
			Why? Because you are a person
who's good to everybody around
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:55
			you. So we see that the story of
Rasulullah Selim, from the very
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:59
			beginning, is a story of a human
being, whom Allah Subhana Allah
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:02
			chooses as a messenger, and
chooses to elevate. But from the
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:05
			very beginning, there's what
there's lack of there's there's,
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			there's there's not really
complete, complete awareness of
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:11
			what's going on, that sometimes
you could be really, really
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:15
			blessed, but you're not aware of
that blessing yet. And it comes
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:18
			with time, that you come to really
appreciate the blessing that Allah
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			Subhan Allah has given you. So
there's a lesson that we take from
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:24
			that. Sometimes we are privileged,
we're wrapped and engulfed in
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27
			blessings from Allah subhanaw
taala. But we may not be aware of
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:31
			them yet, but things will be clear
with time, things will be clear
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:38
			with time. Excellent. Now, if we
begin today, Allah Subhana Allah
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:44
			says, in second Aya Hala, Al
Insana Miniloc. He created the
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:49
			human being Al Insana, he Allah
Hala, Al Insana created the human
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:54
			being from Allah aka from Allah.
Recently there's been a discussion
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:59
			on what this term Allah means.
What this term means. I actually
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			received the
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			A message or a phone call recently
from one of one of our colleagues,
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:09
			and he was wondering, I love
doesn't really mean a blood clot,
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:13
			is the Quran supporting the idea
that the human being is created
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:17
			from a blood clot because that
existed in galenic. Medicine and
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:22
			other philosophers, Greek
classical philosophers wrote about
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:25
			this. And it was obviously a
mistake, you know, the assumed
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:28
			that the human being was created
from a blood clot. So is it really
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:31
			that the Quran is making the claim
or making the argument that the
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:35
			human being is is created from a
blood clot, far from that, far
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:39
			from that, and here it may be
beneficial, it may be beneficial,
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:40
			and let me just
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			just through here,
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:48
			it may be beneficial to mention,
listen to this carefully, it may
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:52
			be beneficial to mention that when
ALLAH SubhanA, Allah uses words,
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:57
			those words have to make sense to
the first primary audience of the
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:01
			Quran. So they have to make sense
to the Arabs who are listening to
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:05
			the Quran. And they have to also
make sense to every subsequent
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:09
			generation that is to come. So it
has to be relevant to the 21st
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:13
			century thinker. And it has to
make sense to the bedwin Arab
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16
			who's living in the desert,
listening to the Quran for the
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			first time. And that's what makes
the Quran very unique. If the
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:22
			Quran started to give this
elaborate description of how the
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:26
			human comes to be, right, imagine
the Quran were to give a full
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:31
			account from a neuro anatomy and a
cellular biology point of view and
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:34
			evolutionary biology point of
view. Well, it would be considered
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			at that time by the audience of
the Quran at that time,
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			irrelevant, like what are you
talking about? We don't believe in
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:41
			any of this stuff. We've never
seen it. So the Human Development
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:44
			has not reached a point where it's
ready to fully understand the
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:48
			details of creation. So the Quran
is going to be very specific in
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:52
			giving enough to encourage that
journey and encourage the inquiry
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:56
			and it will continue to still be
relevant. So ALLAH SubhanA, Allah
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			says, follicle insert, I mean
Allah, let's look at this as a
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:02
			good example of that. So what is
the word that Hallak mean? The
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			word Allah, let's look at the
linguistic. So whenever we look at
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:08
			a word of the Quran, we have to go
down to the basics, we begin first
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:12
			first layer with the linguistics,
the word that alaka is often
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:15
			interpreted as a clot of blood.
But that's not necessarily true,
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			because I look and we'll explain
why it came to be associated with
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:23
			that. The word I look literally
means to come and distinct
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:26
			together. So it's something that
is sticky. And that's why we call
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:31
			a relationship. In Arabic, ALA,
AKA a relationship is called the
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:35
			Rila Appa, because it's one where
you're attached. So it's an
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:39
			attachment, it's a sticky thing,
it's something that sticks. And
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:42
			also, it is something that is
suspended. It's something that is
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:45
			splendid like why Luca when
someone is left hanging, or
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:50
			suspended as Allah Subhana Allah
uses in the Quran to a wife whose
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:54
			relationships are not or whose
emotional, and other
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:57
			responsibilities are not given to
her what she's owed is not given
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:00
			to her by her husband. So she's
called a Mohammed aka someone who
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:03
			is left hanging. And it's also
associated with the with the word
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:07
			leech. It's also associated with
the word leech, because a leech
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:13
			will literally stick onto you and
take away or, or start consuming
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:17
			the resources that you have. So
this is the linguistic meaning, it
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:20
			comes from the thing that means
sticky, is to be sticky, to be
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:25
			suspended, to be attached to hang
all of these things. So when the
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:30
			Arabs heard this, the earliest of
us sitting, if you look at the
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:33
			earliest movers, sitting, and
maybe if you're paying attention,
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			Inshallah, to Allah will do will
do a really interesting thing
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:39
			together. So when actually pull it
up in sha Allah, later on,
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:42
			hopefully, we'll be able to pull
it up. And what I want to do is I
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:46
			want to actually show you show you
the, all the different methods
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:49
			soon, all the different of a
pseudo they have written about the
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:53
			topic, from inshallah to Allah
towards the end, hopefully to do
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:56
			this. But if you look at any
Surah, if you look at any Surah,
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:59
			and you go through the Memphis
saloon, you will see that,
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:01
			over time,
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:05
			over chronology over a
chronological point of time,
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:08
			different things will become the
focus in Tafseer.
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:12
			Maybe linguistic and then over
time becomes biological, and then
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			the biological becomes less
interesting. So people switch to,
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:18
			you know, sociological,
psychological, so everything has
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:21
			its orientation. But if you look
at the earliest FSEOG, like, for
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:23
			example, McCarthy, and we'll talk
about the problems with this
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:27
			stuff, see, later. But McCarthy,
he mentions the word Anika
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:33
			literally means sperm. So for the
envelopes, you can imagine when
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:36
			they're reading this, Allah
created the human from Allah, what
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:40
			is Allah something sticky, a
substance that is trivial, that
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:45
			seems to be trivial, as something
that attaches some something that
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:50
			you know, attaches and then even
cleaves, cleaves or breaks off or
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:54
			divides, those are all associated
with the term. So for them,
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:57
			because attaching, cleaving,
hanging, all of these things are
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			associated with the word so they
assume that the word
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			literally means sperm, something
sticky, something that comes
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:07
			together or sticks. And then later
on, they also said, it could refer
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:13
			to the execution that is released
by the female. So the sexual
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:17
			executions, or the sexual cells
that are released by the males and
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:21
			the females. Now, back then we
didn't understand the concept of a
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:24
			cell. That's a very modern
concept. So they were talking
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			about it in the sense of
secretions, that these are the
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:30
			things that are secreted. So in
the minds of the classical
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:33
			scholars, from the very beginning,
we see the scholars, the earliest
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:36
			commentators on the Quran, whether
the writing on the Quran from
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:39
			historical point of view, from an
axial point of view, those
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:42
			commentators are associating the
term with something that is sticky
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:47
			as substance that hangs the man.
Now later on, when the Muslims
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:51
			were reading, and coming into
contact with galenic, medicine and
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:55
			other forms of medicine that
existed at the time, they borrowed
		
00:15:55 --> 00:16:00
			the idea that the human being
comes from a blood a blood clot.
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			So they said, Oh, is a blood clot
when the blood coagulates? Does it
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:06
			become sticky? Yes, so could be a
blood clot, that's fine. So
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:12
			they're accepting and borrowing
from Western medicine that was
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:14
			available to them at the time. And
they're making sense of what
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:17
			they're reading based on that.
It's kind of like when we read the
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			Surah, when we read the iron,
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:24
			I would Amuro, our Marilena, CAFO
and SML. What will Canada rot
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:28
			Confederate upon alguma? Do they
not see that the earth and the
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:32
			heavens, everything that was
existent was once one entity and
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:37
			that entity exploded explosively.
And from that everything was
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:41
			created from water, everything was
created. So when we read that
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43
			we're like, wait a second as
audience now living in the 21st
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:48
			century? We say that sounds a lot
like the Big Bang. Now is the
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:52
			Quran say anything about the Big
Bang? It's not. But is there room
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:56
			to super impose the Big Bang as a
theory upon the AI, there is you
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:59
			could make a case for it could be
strong or could not be. The idea
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:04
			here is that the Quranic text is
suggestive, it is not a book of
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:08
			science, it's not that official
biology. The idea from the very
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:13
			beginning is to make a point that
that still holds true from a
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:17
			biological point of view. Because
the one who created us is the same
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:18
			one who has revealed in the Quran
there's no there's not going to be
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:21
			discrepancy between what Allah
reveals to us in the form of text.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			And what Allah subhanaw taala sets
in motion in the form of universal
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:28
			laws and biological constants.
Does that make sense? So if you
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:32
			look back at the Halacha insert, I
mean, if we're reading through the
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:35
			history of them for students, some
of our students say that up here
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:38
			literally means a relationship.
Allah Subhana Allah created the
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:43
			human being from a relationship
from an attachment from a thing
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:48
			that hangs a substance that sticks
so from sperm from the egg that
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:52
			the female releases and all of
those meanings hold true. And
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:55
			actually if you look
interestingly, if you look
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			interestingly at the
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:28
			Oh, you cannot you cannot hear me
when I now you can. Okay, perfect.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:32
			Does that go ahead? May Allah
bless you. So whenever I turn my
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			section off, you're not able to
hear finish Allah.
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:37
			So if you look, if you look again
at the way that biology books
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:41
			describe the relationship with a
fertilization is the fertilization
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:46
			happens in two main phases. In the
first a sperm recognizes an egg
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:50
			sticks to its jelly like coating
and strips to reveal parts of its
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:54
			cellular membrane. In the second
phase, the cell membranes of the
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:58
			egg and the sperm cling together
in an intimate embrace, before
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:03
			fusing to allow DNA to meet. Now
from my perspective, when I'm
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:06
			reading this, and when I was
studying, you know, neuroanatomy
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:14
			and, and, and biology and the way,
the way the baby is formed,
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:17
			subhanAllah one word that comes to
mind as well. One One thing that
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:22
			keeps popping up is what?
Clinging, coming together sticking
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:27
			together, intimate embrace fusing,
and all of those terms are
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:29
			associated with the word dialogue.
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:34
			So the Quranic description still
holds true. Allah Subhana Allah
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:37
			gives us a word that still holds
true and carries so much
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:41
			profundity in profundity in
meaning to Nam, and that's really
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:45
			important to go back to the
basics. So this is again, a very
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:50
			beautiful and amazing, incredible
reference. But we're not going to
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:54
			make a big a big claim by saying,
oh, you know, this is this is what
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:57
			the Quran is speaking about, from
the very beginning of this how the
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			Muslims earliest Muslims
understood it.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			That's not important. That's not
important. If we go back and we're
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:06
			honest and asking, how did the
earliest Muslims understand, the
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:09
			earliest Muslims understood it as
Allah subhana data is making a
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:13
			very simple reference that we are
created from a very simple entity,
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:18
			a sticky entity that is small,
that is trivial, and that most of
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:22
			us neglect to think about. And
that small thing carries enough
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:26
			information, like a small little
seed carries enough information to
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:31
			give rise to this big incredible
being. That is the human being. So
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:34
			that's the point. When Allah
subhana, Allah says pineapple
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:37
			inside I mean, I know, the
biologists can say, Wow, that's
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:39
			really interesting. The
philosopher can say, Wow, that's
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:42
			really interesting. They story and
can go back and be like, I want to
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:45
			see how the word that Allah
evolved in the mind of the reader
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:48
			of the Quran, throughout time and
space, really interesting. But at
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:52
			the end of the day, the original
audience of the Quran thought, the
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:56
			point here is to remind me that
I'm so limited, that I am so
		
00:20:56 --> 00:21:01
			small, that I was once a small
little entity and a little sperm,
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:06
			a little egg. That's who I am. So
how can I have this arrogance,
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:09
			because the the main focus of the
surah, in the end is arrogance
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:14
			attacking this egoistic entitled
attitude, demand. So the idea here
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:19
			is that we are reminded of our
smallness and the smallness of our
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:23
			origin, the smallness of our
origin. So those who say it's a
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:27
			demo demo live in German, it's a
blood clot that is thick and
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:31
			sticky. They're referring to what
they understood based on the
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:34
			knowledge that they had at the
time. But the earliest earliest
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:38
			scholars, before the classical
works and philosophies were
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:42
			brought into the Muslim world
looked at this as a reference to
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:48
			the sperm or to the act of
clinging or attaching of some
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			time. Excellent. Does that make
sense? I hope that's a good
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:54
			exercise in how we should be
critical about the way that we see
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:58
			and read the ayat of the Quran,
and also critical of what we hear
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:01
			but the act of the Quran because
people will say, Oh, look, you're
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:04
			listening for students say it's a
blood clot. See, you're just
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:07
			reading what's coming from
classical, Greek and Roman
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:11
			philosophy. Calm down, relax.
Let's look at the bigger picture
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:11
			for you.
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:17
			Allah subhanaw taala says it por
la Bukal Aecon.
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:23
			This is the third eye if para la
Bouken economic Koran in the
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:28
			Arabic word is associated with
nobility and generosity, and
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:31
			honor. So Allah Subhana Allah is
reminding Mohamed salah, and
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:35
			reminding the audiences of the
Quran Read, read, read, continue
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:35
			reading
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:41
			and know that your Lord is the
Most Generous. So even Mohammed,
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:44
			if you were to go moments of
humiliation, know that Allah
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:47
			Subhana Allah is the most generous
and the end he is going to honor
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:50
			you. And if you go through the
highest moments of honor, know
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:54
			that at the end, Allah is the most
honorable. So if you're the
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:58
			weakest moment in your life, your
fallen, remember that Allah is the
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:02
			most honorable. So by connecting
back to Allah, you can regain your
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:05
			honor. And if you're in a position
where you're really honored, and
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:07
			people respect you, and people
look at you with all this honor,
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:11
			don't let that deceive you because
Allah Subhana Allah is the most
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:14
			honorable. So if you let the honor
that people attribute to you,
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:18
			distract you from connecting to
the most honorable, you have lost
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:21
			track of what is really, really
important. So read on Mohamed
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:25
			salah, Marcellin and know that
Allah Subhana Allah is the most
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:29
			honorable. So what is what is the
connection? Or what Abu can
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:33
			economic Quran read recites, but
know that you're not going to
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:37
			really see the world just based on
your own intent to read. Honor is
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:40
			still from Allah. So if you want
Allah to honor the way that you
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:44
			read reality, connect with him,
saying, read, read, read, and know
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:48
			that at the end, it is Allah who
is the most generous, most
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:49
			generous in the way that he's
going to teach you in the way that
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:51
			he's going to allow you to see in
the way that he's going to empower
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:54
			you to continue to read but know
that Allah is the one who's going
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:58
			to bless your knowledge and bless
your quest for knowledge. And
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:00
			Allah Subhana Allah if you look at
the word Karim, when I put the
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:03
			Koran there when he earned him,
and certainly we have honored the
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:07
			Children of Adam, Allah Subhana
Allah says in the Quran in surah
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:11
			Al Baqarah with tabula where you
are handed in Macomb Allah and
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:14
			have Taqwa of Allah and Allah
Subhana Allah will teach you. So
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:16
			the idea here is to have humility
in the way that you seek
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:19
			knowledge. And one of the most
beautiful hadith of interview
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:24
			Salah sellin is the Hadith that is
narrated by Ramana Mahato he says,
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:28
			I heard rasool Allah Azza wa Salam
wa Hua where I heard Rama who
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:32
			Allah limber your pool Yeah Are
you a nurse that while doctor in
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:35
			nice Amir to rasool Allah is Allah
Allah Allah Allah sell me a pool
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:40
			mentor Waldo Allah hereafter
Allah. I'm going to say oh people
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:43
			have humility because I heard
rasool Allah wa salam saying,
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:48
			Whoever has humility with Allah,
Allah who honor and reach them for
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:53
			Hua Fein FC sorry, we are uni
nurse. Yeah, Alvin. So the way
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:56
			that he looks at himself the way
that she looks at herself, I think
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:59
			of myself as small very small. I
haven't done anything
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:04
			myself impression my impression of
myself is that I am a small being.
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:08
			But in the eyes of people Allah
will make you great in the eyes of
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:13
			people. Women take up Baroque
wobble I will love was diligent,
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:18
			and whoever puts himself in a
position where he's more grand
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:21
			than what he's entitled to, like,
you're a small little student, but
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:24
			you pretend to be a big chef, or a
big scholar, or you're a small
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:28
			little business person, but you
buy a bigger house and a bigger
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:31
			car than what you can afford
basically to give people the
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:34
			impression that you're greater
than you really are. Right to get
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:36
			people that's what Cambodia is to
give people the impression that
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38
			you're greater than you really
are. And with Allah subhanaw
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:41
			taala, to speak with Allah Subhana
Allah in a way that like you don't
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:45
			really understand your position
and you you your your self image
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:49
			of who you are in your own eyes is
way too greater than what it
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:51
			should be. Right. So that's what
the Kabbalah is. So Allah says,
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:55
			Whoever has that, well, but I will
Allah who is eligible for her vi
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:59
			unit nurses have a goofy NFC
career. So in the eyes of people,
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:02
			people see him or her as something
very small and trivial, and
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:05
			someone that's very disgusting and
very useless, but in his own eyes
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:08
			and her own eyes. While I'm so
important, I'm so big, do you know
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:11
			what I did? So they always
attribute that to themselves. And
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:14
			Allah Subhana Allah Allah actually
mentioned in the Quran, that among
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:18
			the people that are most disliked
by Allah subhanaw taala when you
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:21
			hear Munna and you will be mad,
let me follow, they like to take
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:24
			credit for things that they have
not done. So that's not a sign of
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:27
			someone that Allah Subhana Allah
will honor and bless. You're
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:30
			working in a project and
everybody's contributing and
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:33
			committing together but you want
to take credit, oh, you know, the
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:38
			success is because of me know, a
good, humble individual will
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:41
			always attribute the hair to Allah
Subhana Allah and to the people
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			around and that's someone that
people will really appreciate,
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:48
			works behind the scenes supports.
prods encourages the whole feeling
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:51
			of security, it can be used for
what Fiat and unnecessary with NFC
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53
			can be. It is not what we're
looking for. We don't want to look
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:56
			at ourselves as grant but in the
eyes of people, Allah subhanaw
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:59
			taala will humiliate us, right so
Allah started as reminding us
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:05
			read, look, search, grow, empower.
What a book is a Quran, because
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:08
			Allah is the one who's going to be
most generous. Don't underestimate
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:11
			how much Allah can give you. Don't
underestimate how much a las
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:14
			Panatela can empower you don't
ever give up. Life is life is a
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:17
			struggle. Yes, there will be
moments of difficulty Yes. But
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			don't forget the honor of Allah
Subhana Allah that Allah is the
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			most honorable in the moments of
difficulty. And in the moments of
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:24
			blessing and honor, he's the most
honorable at the end of the day.
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:29
			But you and Lydia Allah lemma
Buchanan read in the name of the
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:34
			one who taught by the pen. Here's
another reference that is vague,
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:38
			it is vague. So there are ways
that this could be read and the
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:40
			scholars will look at this in
multiple ways. The first is that
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:43
			this is a reference to the column
which is the written script,
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:49
			the written script, imagine if we
did not have a way to communicate
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:53
			our thoughts through writing or
descriptions. How else would we be
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:55
			able to transmit knowledge
knowledge would end at the end of
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:58
			that generation. So imagine the
ancient Egyptians whatever they
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:01
			learn, imagine they couldn't
connect or transmit that knowledge
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:04
			to us. Our ability to progress and
develop would have been very
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:07
			limited. So some of the
commentators refer to this as L
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:13
			column meaning the written script
the man for example, for example,
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:17
			Qatada says, Al pandemonium
meeting mean Allah has no agenda,
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:22
			our women, Lola radical, Aamir
Khan, Dean lamea, calm Dean, while
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:27
			I'm, while I'm your slew Aisha,
the written script or the pen the
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:32
			ability and scribe is a big
blessing from Allah. Without it,
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:36
			no religion, no religion would
have been preserved or would have
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:40
			been established. And without it,
no living structure, or living
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:44
			beings or form of life could have
existed could have been
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:48
			functional. Like there's no
function, there's really no social
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:52
			structure or or living structures,
constructions would not be
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:57
			possible without the gift of the
gift of writing, writing the man
		
00:28:57 --> 00:29:01
			also so it's writing. Others say
it's the preservation of
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:04
			knowledge. And then the middle
column is a reference to the
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:07
			preservation of knowledge. And
then Imam Shafi has his famous
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:10
			quote, in which he says, an early
Musashi dunwell kita. But to call
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:13
			you do who by you, so you would
like a big, burly, wealthy,
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:18
			feminine hammock at the end to see
there was a little weather took
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:24
			banal, holler up bah, bah, which
means knowledge is like hunting a
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:30
			hunted game. And writing is what
keeps it firmly bound tie by ETSU
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:35
			that goes by your what you hunt,
to the secure mountains, because
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:40
			it is foolish to catch a deer. And
until leave it alone in the wild.
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:43
			You caught the deer that you're
going to let it be no you know, so
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:47
			whatever, you know, whatever you
learn, write it down, write it
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:51
			down. And this is again referring
to an learnable column it is Allah
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:55
			who taught through our ability to
read and spread and teach and
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:58
			record. So all of that is
associated with the column meaning
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59
			the human pen
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:03
			A reference a metaphor for the
ability to read and write and
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:07
			transmit knowledge. The column
also some have said, it is the pen
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:12
			of the scholars, the judges and
the kings. And Allah's Panatela
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:16
			takes an oath by this noon, while
column one is thrown by the pen
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:20
			and that which they ascribe in
lines through it, the man. So
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:25
			column also actually comes from
the original word clean, which is
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:28
			the process of sharpening wood to
make it pointed to be able to read
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:31
			and write. So this could be the
written contract through which
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:35
			judges have the power to give and
to issue verdicts through which
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:39
			scholars have the power to issue
verdicts. Right, it's the process
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:44
			of writing. And that writing now
is given weight and is given some
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:49
			form of power. But the fourth
opinion is that econom actually
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:52
			means the divine pen, because
Allah Subhana Allah we know
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:56
			according to the Hadith, ALLAH
SubhanA, Allah says, Musa Selim
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:59
			says, well, actually, it's a
reference it's given to even our
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:03
			best if numbers are the lionesses,
in a world Mr. Hala cologne column
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:07
			for all Allahu octobe, the first
thing that Allah created is the
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:11
			divine pen. And Allah subhana,
Allah commanded it to write. So
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:16
			before everything that we know
came to be Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:22
			had already a written a written
account of what would happen. Now
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:26
			this is, this is a it's a tough
one. And the concept of Kedah, the
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:30
			concept of God is very difficult
to kind of understand, and maybe
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:33
			now is not the time to delve in
too deeply. But one of the ways
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:38
			that young young students, you
know, some of my young students
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:41
			when, when they asked me, how is
it that ALLAH SubhanA, Allah knows
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:43
			what we're going to do before we
do it? And how does he have a
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:47
			written account of that before it
actually took place? And if he has
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:50
			a written account, then isn't he
aware of what we're going to do?
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:53
			So how can you punish us for
something that is the you know,
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:56
			it's it's a difficult topic to
grasp, but the way to understand
		
00:31:56 --> 00:32:00
			it, imagine, imagine, Allah
Subhana Allah, or you can imagine
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:03
			a las Panatela, of course, but
imagine Allah subhanaw taala,
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:07
			being in a position where he is
not limited or bound by anything
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:10
			that you created, Allah said that
by necessity, he's the creator. So
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:13
			he's not bound by any of his
creation, whether physical or
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:18
			abstract. So time, for example, is
a construct in our mind. Time is a
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:23
			construct in our mind, that is
limited by or limiting us as human
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:26
			beings, we're limited by time, I
can exist. Now, I may not exist in
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:29
			the future, but Allah is not
limited by time, he is able to
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:33
			access any moment in time, he is
able to, he's not limited in his
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:36
			knowledge and in his scope, we are
limited by time and space, Allah
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:39
			Subhana Allah may occupy a space
in a way that fits his Majesty,
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:43
			how we know Allahu Allah them how
to them, we know he might occupy a
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:46
			position where he's not limited by
the occupation and limited by that
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:49
			position. So Allah subhanaw taala,
because it's not limited by time
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:55
			or space, everything that happened
or happens or is happening, it's
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:57
			already happened. But Allah
Subhana Allah said, you know, it's
		
00:32:57 --> 00:33:02
			like when I'm, when I'm editing a
video, I am watching, I'm putting
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:06
			these clips together. And I have a
timeline of, you know, my video,
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:09
			I'm able to go back and I'm able
to move forward, and I'm able to
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:12
			move and shuffle. Why, because I'm
not limited by the timeline. I'm
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:16
			watching the timeline. So I'm
outside of the timeline. Does that
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:19
			make sense? So I'm not limited by
the timeline, I can go to the
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:22
			past, and I can go to the present.
But if I'm a small little clip
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:24
			that is stuck in that time, I'm
limited by that I don't have an
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:27
			autonomy of my own, I don't have a
will of my own to them. So
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:30
			similarly, with Allah span, it's
added. So another example is when
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:34
			I'm watching a movie, when I'm
watching a soccer game, after the
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:37
			game took place, I have a record
of the game, I can have a record
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:39
			of the game without influencing
the game, I have a record of it a
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:43
			video form that is given to me
after the game is over, because it
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:46
			was recorded. Now imagine if I'm
if I'm not limited by time, I
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:49
			might be able to have access to
that record, even before the game
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:52
			took place. But it's exactly what
happened in the game. So it's not
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:55
			what I'm forcing the game to be.
It's what happened in the game but
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:58
			have access to it before because I
am not limited by time or space.
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:01
			That's just one of the ways and of
course there are many logical
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:05
			rebuttals and conversations back
and forth. But it's just a helpful
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:09
			little step to get us to think
about how Allah Subhana Allah may
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:14
			be able to access time and access
knowledge with without it
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:17
			necessarily happening yet from our
point of view, but it's already
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:21
			happened for him because for him
when failure Koon so Olivia
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:24
			unnamable column, it is He Allah
who allows for teaching to
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:28
			happens, or for knowledge to
happen or to be spread by the pen
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:32
			meaning the divine pen, meaning
the will that has already been set
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:36
			in stone from way past, because it
is an account of everything that
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:38
			Allah Subhana Allah willed to
happen and everything that did
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:41
			happen, that did happen now that
there is a big discussion, you
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:45
			might want to, you know, read a
read upon it on your own, and
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:47
			inshallah we'll come back to it
when we look in the eye and speak
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:50
			about the other and speak about
the local muscle in general.
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:55
			Excellent. So let the unnamable
FOLLOW ME ON level insert. Man.
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:58
			I'm Jana. This is the fifth year
and it's here that the Prophet
		
00:34:58 --> 00:34:59
			Muhammad Al Salam
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:04
			I received the very first five is
that the very first five out of
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:07
			sorts that Allah were the first to
review. Everything else came after
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:11
			the ending of the surah came after
so Allah Subhana Allah says I'm an
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:15
			insane amount of Yharnam it is you
created the human being, and it's
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:18
			you taught through the pen and
that is you taught the human being
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:22
			what the human being knew not
there's a lot of things that we
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:25
			don't know Allah Subhana Allah
reminds us Allah Adam at a smell
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:29
			cooler is Allah Petro taught Adam
the names of things how to name
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:32
			things language right woman will
teach women that me luckily Allah
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:35
			and you've given you've received
from knowledge very very little
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:38
			while lemma can and I'm talking
tournament Allah speak so Salah
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:41
			salami says Why limit the amount
of the content and what kind of
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:44
			formula they can only make it is
He Allah Who taught you what you
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:47
			didn't know Muhammad and the
knowledge that Allah is giving you
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:50
			was a big favor from Allah and the
favors of Allah upon you, O
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:54
			Muhammad are many Allahumma salli
wa sallim wa barik ala Muhammad
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:57
			and Allah candidate also says
we're filled up pulizia Illuminati
		
00:35:58 --> 00:36:02
			and above every person who knows
is someone who truly knows but
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:06
			felt Coulier element and in and
Allah subhanaw taala also tells us
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:10
			in another suit on the Quran,
Allah Raja comb Minwoo Tonio
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:14
			multicom latch, alimony che Wa
Alaikum wa sallam Sam our episode
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:18
			are with editor Malcolm dish Quran
and Allah brought you out of the
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:21
			wombs of your mothers, you knew
nothing at that time, but he gave
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:25
			you the hearing the sight and the
heart so that you're able to learn
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:27
			and through that knowledge, you're
able to give thanks to Allah
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:31
			subhanho wa taala. So there's an
idea that the more we learn, the
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:34
			more we understand, the more we
interact with reality, the more
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:38
			that we allow our curiosity to
guide us to look for truth and to
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:41
			look for meaning and symbols and
to construct and to interact with
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:45
			our reality, we will come to be
more grateful of Allah Subhana
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:48
			Allah. So in Islam, it's not like
the more that I know that more
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:51
			than a distant from Allah, Spanish
Allah, the more that I know the
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:54
			more that are growing closer and
connection with Allah Subhana
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:56
			Allah and closeness to on this
planet on the map. Now, of course,
		
00:36:56 --> 00:37:00
			that's going to depend on what I
choose as the rules of my
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:03
			engagement with the world, if I
choose to have a limited
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:06
			perspective from which I look at
the world, and to limit my
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:10
			knowledge, quest to things that I
can only see or things that I can
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:15
			only recognize empirically, that's
by definition, a limitation that
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:19
			I've placed upon myself, then. So
to be able to deconstruct any of
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:22
			those limitations and interact the
world genuinely with the world
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:26
			genuinely, without any bias is
going to be a difficult process.
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:30
			But it's one that liberates us.
It's one that liberates us to
		
00:37:30 --> 00:37:34
			ma'am, type. Quickly. Before we
go. I'm just gonna look at some of
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:35
			the comments here.
		
00:37:36 --> 00:37:42
			Ken, what's written be changed by
dua? Yes, it so here's the thing,
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:44
			Sister, what are the asks a good
question.
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:49
			A good question and that is can
the Khadir be changed by what we
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:53
			know the Hadith larrondo como la
da. So the Cabal the Kabbalah is
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:58
			the predestined thing that Allah
has written. But the low hill
		
00:37:58 --> 00:38:01
			mahoe the ultimate other is the
record of everything that has
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:05
			happened. So there's a yearly
Kedah, there's weekly Fedora,
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:08
			there's monthly padar. Allah
Panatela, for example, reminds us
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:14
			in surah, in one of the Surah, one
of the how I mean, he says, fee
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:17
			how you for Roku, on this night,
you for Roku, Amazon hacking,
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:21
			there's a night some says letter
to other on this day, whatever is
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:25
			meant to happen for you for the
next year will be written and some
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:27
			of that will be able will be
reversed through. That's why we
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:30
			make dua now a little further Oh
Allah protect me from this and
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:33
			protect me from that. So the cada,
what Allah has written for you
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:36
			specifically might be changed
through dua, but the ultimate
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:40
			color which we discussed earlier
in the low hanging fruit is a
		
00:38:40 --> 00:38:44
			record of what ultimately happened
and happens to you. So it takes
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:48
			into account the fact that you
made dua for the scholar to be
		
00:38:48 --> 00:38:51
			lessened or for this other to be
removed. And then that is now a
		
00:38:51 --> 00:38:54
			part of the new product that is
given to you. But the ultimate
		
00:38:54 --> 00:38:57
			account of what happens, the
ultimate account of what happens
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:00
			is mentioned in the low hanging
fruit because then I've had my
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:04
			full account includes all those
changes that have taken place
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:07
			through the app, because as I
mentioned, it is a record of
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:09
			everything that you did and
everything that has happened to
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:12
			you eventually ultimately, taking
into account all those little
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:15
			changes and that's why I said the
discussion of the discussion of
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:19
			powder is a big one, but at least
this gives you inshallah some tips
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:22
			and for anyone who wants to read
more, explore more, but hopefully
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:24
			this at least give you the titles
through which you're able to
		
00:39:24 --> 00:39:27
			engage the discussion. Also
Writing helps us organize thoughts
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:30
			Absolutely. Hasid May Allah bless
you and give you the best and
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:33
			Julian Asha Farukh Ernie, may
Allah bless you and give you
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:38
			generous for those who mean 20
minutes on word Subhanallah how
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:41
			amazing is the Quran? That is
true? Yes, that is true. And we're
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:44
			going to be inshallah enjoying
just that formula for the big size
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:47
			of the ASL and hamdulillah I'm
happy to hear that you're
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:50
			enjoying. Even after birth the
child is
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:54
			more tailored to the mother hooked
around her arms. That is true.
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:57
			That is true. Excellent,
excellent. May Allah bless you and
		
00:39:57 --> 00:39:59
			give you Jennifer those perfect
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:07
			The zygote looks like a leech
cloth but clearly not only not
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:10
			clearly only books like one not
literally sorry the zygote looks
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:15
			like a leech like cloth but
cleaning only in only books like
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:19
			one not sorry the same I'm not
able to understand but I'm sure
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:23
			it's a it's a great it's a great
message because I can go here and
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:26
			my law bless you all and give you
Janet for those Baraka Luffy call
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:28
			may Allah bless you sister the
center hope inshallah that it's
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:33
			beneficial, but the record may
change and the recording of these
		
00:40:33 --> 00:40:37
			changes of the record is also
recorded. Read that a few times
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:40
			however the knowledge of Allah's
Panatela is unchanged, safe to
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:43
			Zakka love it, hopefully be able
to go back and inshallah read. I
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:45
			don't want to go into the details
too much we'll have the whole
		
00:40:45 --> 00:40:49
			journey together Inshallah, which
were able to discuss the surah
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:52
			together, right, so this was the
first section, this is the first
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:55
			section hopefully in the last 20
minutes, I'm able to give justice
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:58
			to the end of the surah and
inshallah whatever we don't finish
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:02
			off. I will do a separate video, a
third video in sha Allah,
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:05
			recapping, and then hopefully
Inshallah, that will be before
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:07
			next Saturday, so at least we'll
have the surah as a whole so
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:10
			whatever I don't finish today,
Inshallah, or tonight, I'll do a
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:13
			separate video that's continuing
as a part of the series in
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:14
			Charlottetown. Fine.
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:20
			So the first few 858 will receive
by the Prophet Muhammad Salam in
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:25
			the Horn of Hara when were these
ads review in Ramadan when in
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:28
			Ramadan in Laylat of product how
do we know because the solar right
		
00:41:28 --> 00:41:33
			after says in Zilla who feel a
little colder Qadr one adelakun A
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:35
			little further Laila to the
requirement official so in all
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:39
			levels of Qatar is the time
through which the Quran or during
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:42
			which the Quran was revealed to
the Prophet Muhammad wa salam Some
		
00:41:42 --> 00:41:46
			say it's revealed from the roadmap
or to the to the first heaven and
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:49
			then from there to also Lhasa
Salam OTG Bri and then from from
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:56
			from from Rasulullah Selim to us
so we find out about it also insha
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:58
			Allah and in Ramadan, we connect
with the Quran as well.
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:02
			So this is these are the first
five eight first five, eight.
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:06
			Excellent. Now Kela insana, layer
four
		
00:42:07 --> 00:42:08
			is sterner.
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:13
			So let's look at the second part
of the surah. The second part of
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:18
			the surah highlights an example of
somebody who, by thinking of
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:22
			themselves as self sufficient
deviated away from the Quran
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:26
			deviated away from the message.
Right? Before I get into that,
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:30
			sometimes it is a big move now
among young people to be
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:32
			financially independent, oh, I
want to be financially
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:34
			independent, I want to be in
control of my hours, I want to be
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:36
			controlling my time I want to be
controlling my energy, I don't
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:40
			want to have a boss, I don't want
to do all these things. And yes,
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:43
			sometimes those who think that
way, are genuine, and they really
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:46
			want the control over their own
time to be able to give back and
		
00:42:46 --> 00:42:49
			to be able to help and to be able
to not be stuck in a nine to five
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:53
			and be limited by a trivial or a
nominal kind of work that they're
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:56
			doing. Which you know, some people
have hamdullah they have the
		
00:42:56 --> 00:42:58
			capacity and the limited
financially so they want to be
		
00:42:58 --> 00:43:02
			able to give back. But many people
they have this self aggrandizing
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:05
			image I don't want to be doing
this little work I want to do
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:08
			something great. So sometimes it's
out of arrogance and sometimes
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:10
			people want that because they just
don't want anyone to tell them
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:15
			what to do. They don't want anyone
to tell them what to do them. So
		
00:43:16 --> 00:43:21
			here's an example of that killer
in the internal airport. Governor
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:26
			the human being indeed has the
nature to transgress when he or
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:32
			see when he or she sees himself or
herself as self sufficient. So the
		
00:43:32 --> 00:43:35
			man please join the WhatsApp group
I will let you know inshallah to
		
00:43:35 --> 00:43:37
			Allah when the video will be
released to show Monday or when
		
00:43:37 --> 00:43:41
			the video will happen. So let's
look for example at what McCarthy
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:45
			says McArdle has one of the early
one of the earliest commentaries
		
00:43:45 --> 00:43:48
			on the Quran that we still have.
Many people have issues with
		
00:43:48 --> 00:43:50
			morality, and one of the reasons
why they people have issues with
		
00:43:50 --> 00:43:55
			RTL is McCarthy tends to be very
biased in his opinions towards
		
00:43:56 --> 00:44:00
			towards a specific orientation. We
can get to that later. But more
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:04
			importantly, he tends to report
narrations that are very bizarre,
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:06
			all the other nourishes that
people have through books of
		
00:44:06 --> 00:44:09
			Hadith. They're you know, they
don't have that much detail more
		
00:44:09 --> 00:44:13
			often stands alone in having a lot
of details in the narrations which
		
00:44:13 --> 00:44:16
			she reports and that's what some
people like really what he's
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:20
			writing 120 years or 25 years
after the Prophet Muhammad Salam
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:23
			migrated from Mecca to Medina. So
what is he getting all these
		
00:44:23 --> 00:44:27
			information? Maybe what he was
doing is he was collecting
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:30
			information seeing other other had
the field and people are focusing
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:33
			on you know, general pictures that
I'm going to focus on the details.
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:36
			Or maybe he's adding in imagining
some of these details later
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:40
			imagining some of these details
later on, on and adding them into
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:44
			the island them onto the to the
works, or maybe he is combining
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:47
			between finding sources that no
one else has access to. And then
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:52
			combining but nonetheless, in
sharing these detailed narrations
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:57
			we can at least get a sense of how
Muslims early on 125 were
		
00:44:57 --> 00:44:59
			imagining this is too
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:00
			have taken place.
		
00:45:02 --> 00:45:06
			So in citing McCarthy, there could
be sites in order to be I could be
		
00:45:06 --> 00:45:10
			citing McCarthy I could be citing
much more classical recognized,
		
00:45:10 --> 00:45:15
			respected of a city. But in citing
McCarthy, I'm doing this, you know
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:18
			specifically why because Makati is
a standalone and giving us a lot
		
00:45:18 --> 00:45:21
			of details whether they're
imagined or true. At least we get
		
00:45:21 --> 00:45:24
			a sense of how muscles are
imagining this took place. So how
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:27
			is Abuja interacting with
Rasulullah sallallahu. Now there's
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:30
			a big gap between the first five
eight or so Salam goes to his wife
		
00:45:30 --> 00:45:34
			cover me. After that Rasulullah
Selim is given some time in which
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:36
			he's reflecting goes to water
power and tells him you're a
		
00:45:36 --> 00:45:39
			prophet. He doesn't know what to
do with the information is, you
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:42
			know, really, really stressed out
looking for a job you cannot find
		
00:45:42 --> 00:45:45
			Jabril and then after a while, 40
days or so there's no revelation
		
00:45:45 --> 00:45:49
			coming now he's wondering what's
going on a while passes by and
		
00:45:49 --> 00:45:52
			then the ending of the surah
comes, some people say two years
		
00:45:52 --> 00:45:55
			passed by some people say six
months passed by. So technically,
		
00:45:55 --> 00:45:57
			if we're going to go
chronologically, we would wait a
		
00:45:57 --> 00:45:59
			little bit and come back to the
end of the surah but nonetheless,
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:02
			we're going to just finish the
surah so at least we have the
		
00:46:02 --> 00:46:05
			package surah and think and
reflect upon that, and then
		
00:46:05 --> 00:46:07
			inshallah hopefully we can get a
better sense of exactly where this
		
00:46:08 --> 00:46:11
			end of the surah falls but
somebody will say between six
		
00:46:11 --> 00:46:14
			months to a year to two years
after the Prophet Muhammad said
		
00:46:14 --> 00:46:17
			and received the revelation this
part comes other suggestions could
		
00:46:17 --> 00:46:20
			be early it could be a few months
or so after Roswell Salim received
		
00:46:20 --> 00:46:24
			the first five eight, but
nonetheless, Allah Subhana Allah
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:27
			is reminding us killer in the
Lisanna layer for what was stolen
		
00:46:27 --> 00:46:32
			the human being transgressors when
he or she sees himself as as what,
		
00:46:32 --> 00:46:36
			as self sufficient. So let's look
at the narration. McCarthy says
		
00:46:37 --> 00:46:40
			McCarthy says here, Abu Jehanne
Indonesia is what's being
		
00:46:40 --> 00:46:46
			referenced. What can they saw the
man in a shadow Yanni bottle of
		
00:46:46 --> 00:46:50
			ecrb Well, he Moeraki be what you
told me we shall all be fed Erica
		
00:46:50 --> 00:46:55
			Fabiani, either an officer who is
stubborn at work earn more 7
		
00:46:55 --> 00:46:59
			billion right. So what does this
mean? The eye refers to Abuja
		
00:46:59 --> 00:47:02
			*, when he made a fortune, he
would be extravagant in his
		
00:47:02 --> 00:47:06
			clothing and in his rise and his
food and drinks, and he would
		
00:47:06 --> 00:47:09
			transgress he would think of
himself as self sufficient
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:14
			sufficient, because of his
affluence, needing no one else. So
		
00:47:14 --> 00:47:16
			here's the reference from the
Prophet saying that this is
		
00:47:16 --> 00:47:20
			referring to Abu Jamal who would
be very very arrogant when he
		
00:47:20 --> 00:47:24
			would make money when he would
have some money. Now he gives us
		
00:47:24 --> 00:47:27
			an example of one the Prophet
Mohammed Salim entered the cabin,
		
00:47:28 --> 00:47:31
			and he found Abu Jamal placing a
gold amulet on the God that he
		
00:47:31 --> 00:47:36
			worships. Adding musk and saying,
oh Hubel thank you for everything.
		
00:47:36 --> 00:47:38
			For everything. There's a
comforter and for you is the
		
00:47:38 --> 00:47:42
			greatest reward I swear to you, I
will make you the happiest I will
		
00:47:42 --> 00:47:46
			make you happy. And this he said
because the female camels that he
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:52
			owned, delivered 1000 Baby camels
for him, calves for him that year.
		
00:47:52 --> 00:47:56
			Also, a care event came from the
Levant, the sham, profiting him
		
00:47:56 --> 00:48:01
			with 10,000 withdrawals if
everyone's God is 4.2 4.25 grams
		
00:48:01 --> 00:48:04
			of causes the millions of dollars
in modern sense that he made. So
		
00:48:04 --> 00:48:09
			the caravan made him 10,000 Miss
McLeod's of goal. So he dedicated
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:14
			he dedicated his gratitude to
Hubel and idel standing 18 meters
		
00:48:14 --> 00:48:18
			or sorry 18 arms length to all
situated inside the cabin. So
		
00:48:18 --> 00:48:22
			these are details who's giving us
these details? McCarthy? What is
		
00:48:22 --> 00:48:25
			your writing on getting 25 years
after the hijab so it's still
		
00:48:25 --> 00:48:29
			important information is a fully
true Allah Rana. What is
		
00:48:29 --> 00:48:32
			interesting to think about and to
reflect Yes, it's interesting to
		
00:48:32 --> 00:48:35
			think about. So we know here, for
example, that huben is the God
		
00:48:35 --> 00:48:38
			that we generally used to worship
and Hobart was situated inside the
		
00:48:38 --> 00:48:42
			Kaaba. The Prophet Muhammad Salam
said, What a shame. Your Lord
		
00:48:42 --> 00:48:47
			provides for you Abu JAL, but you
think other than Him by Allah, He
		
00:48:47 --> 00:48:50
			has not withheld anything from
you. How long will you continue
		
00:48:50 --> 00:48:55
			this for what a shame white hacker
I'm me, my uncle. I invite you to
		
00:48:55 --> 00:48:58
			Allah alone, for He is your Lord
and He is the Lord of your
		
00:48:58 --> 00:49:02
			forefathers. He has created you
and he alone sustains you. If you
		
00:49:02 --> 00:49:05
			follow me you shall attain the
provisions of this lord and the
		
00:49:05 --> 00:49:09
			next Abuja has responded by a lot
and Allah Russa swearing by the
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:12
			gods that he worships. Right? So
if you look at the RMB here and
		
00:49:12 --> 00:49:15
			I've attached it, what letter was

00:49:38 --> 00:49:41
			and I have attached for you the
notes here. Abuja responds by
		
00:49:41 --> 00:49:44
			alert and Allah Russa and by the
Lord of the structure meaning the
		
00:49:44 --> 00:49:48
			Kaaba, if you don't stop what
you're saying, and you don't and
		
00:49:48 --> 00:49:51
			if I ever come and find you here
again worshipping other than these
		
00:49:51 --> 00:49:55
			deities, I will drag you by the
forelock, do not see that these
		
00:49:55 --> 00:49:57
			deities Latin roots are the
daughters of Allah
		
00:49:59 --> 00:49:59
			and the Prophet and
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:04
			Muslims response is how could you
ever say anything and attribute
		
00:50:04 --> 00:50:05
			anything like that to Allah?
		
00:50:06 --> 00:50:08
			So whether this took place or not
what we know is there was
		
00:50:08 --> 00:50:12
			confrontation between Abu Jehan
and Rasulullah Salah cell and that
		
00:50:12 --> 00:50:16
			confrontation led to Rasulullah
Selim saying my uncle worship
		
00:50:16 --> 00:50:20
			Allah and Allah alone. And I will
just said no way you hacker What
		
00:50:20 --> 00:50:23
			are you saying get out of here Get
out of my face. And if you don't
		
00:50:23 --> 00:50:26
			stop, I will drag it by the
forehead and I will throw it onto
		
00:50:26 --> 00:50:29
			the ground. And we know for
example, later on he would throw
		
00:50:29 --> 00:50:31
			disgusting things on the Prophet
Muhammad Salam is back when he
		
00:50:31 --> 00:50:35
			would see the Prophet Muhammad
Salam worshipping and, and and
		
00:50:35 --> 00:50:39
			reading Quran around the Kaaba. So
why is this important because
		
00:50:39 --> 00:50:43
			often we get the idea that there
was a private time in which the
		
00:50:43 --> 00:50:47
			Prophet Muhammad Salam did not
publicize the Dawa did not
		
00:50:47 --> 00:50:50
			publicize the Dawa. But however,
even during this private time he
		
00:50:50 --> 00:50:53
			was to reach out to his uncles
reach out to his family, reach out
		
00:50:53 --> 00:50:57
			to everyone individually, and call
them to Allah subhanaw taala based
		
00:50:57 --> 00:51:00
			on what he knows, but this will
happen one, this will happen after
		
00:51:00 --> 00:51:04
			the revelation of Surah Mudassar,
which makes it clear to him that
		
00:51:04 --> 00:51:08
			now you have to inform him get up
and warn, get up and teach. So now
		
00:51:08 --> 00:51:11
			we're sorted, I love the first
five, if he still doesn't know
		
00:51:11 --> 00:51:14
			that he's a prophet, he's a
messenger, right. And a prophet
		
00:51:14 --> 00:51:17
			may be given knowledge about Allah
subhanaw taala. But it's not
		
00:51:17 --> 00:51:19
			instructed to get up and teach,
whereas the messenger is
		
00:51:19 --> 00:51:22
			instructed to get up and teach.
Now of course, there are various
		
00:51:22 --> 00:51:24
			other ways of defining prophets
and messengers, some said, the two
		
00:51:24 --> 00:51:28
			terms are interchangeable. But the
the the opinion that I do follow
		
00:51:28 --> 00:51:32
			is the prophet is given knowledge,
but doesn't have to teach it, just
		
00:51:32 --> 00:51:35
			to revise it or is given a new
message like, for example,
		
00:51:36 --> 00:51:39
			Lu pallisa, we don't know that
he's given a message. So we say
		
00:51:39 --> 00:51:43
			he's a prophet, for example, Yahoo
Balasana, he's a prophet was he
		
00:51:43 --> 00:51:46
			given a message specifically to
teach? No, he's reviving a message
		
00:51:46 --> 00:51:49
			that already exists, or he's
teaching a bunch of ethics and,
		
00:51:49 --> 00:51:51
			and good things that are lost
nonetheless instructed him to
		
00:51:51 --> 00:51:54
			teach but not a specific message,
a specific book or a specific text
		
00:51:54 --> 00:51:57
			that comes to mind that entire
community. So messenger is given a
		
00:51:57 --> 00:52:01
			message, a specific message with a
mandate to teach that message.
		
00:52:01 --> 00:52:03
			That's the difference in the
Prophet and the messenger for your
		
00:52:03 --> 00:52:06
			own information. Some other might
say that Rasulillah Salam was a
		
00:52:06 --> 00:52:10
			prophet for those few days that he
received after he received the
		
00:52:10 --> 00:52:16
			five heirs of salted Allah, after
40 days or so when he receives the
		
00:52:16 --> 00:52:18
			remainder of surah. Tila or the
beginning of sorrows of death,
		
00:52:18 --> 00:52:21
			that's when it comes to realize
that he's a messenger, because
		
00:52:21 --> 00:52:24
			Allah says, Yeah, even when that
fear comes under, and we'll talk
		
00:52:24 --> 00:52:27
			about that will get a better sense
of what's happened, the man, so
		
00:52:27 --> 00:52:31
			killer in the internal elbow, I
don't know who's done. So the
		
00:52:31 --> 00:52:35
			person the human being, does this
job again, and the word thaw. If
		
00:52:35 --> 00:52:39
			you look at the Quran, in lemma
boil, you know, Allah uses the
		
00:52:39 --> 00:52:44
			word thought to refer to the water
that rises above its container. So
		
00:52:44 --> 00:52:46
			imagine there's water in this
container or tea in this
		
00:52:46 --> 00:52:50
			container. And if it starts
pouring, and boiling and such
		
00:52:50 --> 00:52:53
			pouring out of the container,
that's totally an Breann. So it
		
00:52:53 --> 00:52:57
			floods out. So the human being
likes to do what likes to floods
		
00:52:57 --> 00:53:00
			out of the boundaries, that he
should be in the boundaries, like,
		
00:53:00 --> 00:53:02
			you know, know your place. You
know, when you say know your
		
00:53:02 --> 00:53:06
			place, don't don't like don't get
out of your place, stay in your
		
00:53:06 --> 00:53:08
			lane, you know, when he says I'm
gonna stay in your lane. So when
		
00:53:08 --> 00:53:10
			does a person say he started going
out of the lane and start saying
		
00:53:10 --> 00:53:13
			things that they don't know, and
start to, you know, kind of just
		
00:53:13 --> 00:53:17
			too much. When do they start doing
that? Allah says many times, when
		
00:53:17 --> 00:53:20
			they see themselves as self
sufficient, I don't need nobody, I
		
00:53:20 --> 00:53:24
			got money or power. So the other
night usually talk about many
		
00:53:24 --> 00:53:27
			forms of Talia, they say to the
end of the beauty, when it's
		
00:53:27 --> 00:53:29
			yourself are so beautiful, I don't
have to do anything, I can get
		
00:53:29 --> 00:53:33
			away with anything, just by being
beautiful, I can do the worst kind
		
00:53:33 --> 00:53:35
			of thing. And then I won't get in
trouble for it. Why? Because I'm
		
00:53:35 --> 00:53:38
			so beautiful. That's one form of
bullying. Right? We start you
		
00:53:38 --> 00:53:41
			know, you start using your beauty
to oppress others using your
		
00:53:41 --> 00:53:46
			beauty as a form of as a form of
power. Right? You use your your
		
00:53:46 --> 00:53:48
			beauty as a form of dominating
other people. And we live in a
		
00:53:48 --> 00:53:51
			society that is very
materialistic, and sometimes
		
00:53:51 --> 00:53:55
			focuses on finding weaknesses and
others by demonstrating constant
		
00:53:55 --> 00:54:00
			beautiful displays that captivate
and attract attention. And of
		
00:54:00 --> 00:54:03
			course, it's the it's the it's a
duty on both sides, for those who
		
00:54:03 --> 00:54:06
			use that to be ethical in the
sense of like, is this really
		
00:54:06 --> 00:54:09
			ethical is really more to play on
people's weaknesses, and also the
		
00:54:09 --> 00:54:12
			person who's consuming that
content to be ethical and to be
		
00:54:12 --> 00:54:15
			honest and saying, Allah, Allah
has asked me to lower my gaze and
		
00:54:15 --> 00:54:18
			to be conscious of what I
internalize. So it's on both
		
00:54:18 --> 00:54:21
			sides, the person who's displaying
has to be honest and saying, is
		
00:54:21 --> 00:54:24
			this really good in terms of
display? And the person consuming
		
00:54:24 --> 00:54:27
			has to ask, is this good in
consuming, so that's one form of
		
00:54:27 --> 00:54:30
			the when, when a beauty another
form of the Lian is the total
		
00:54:30 --> 00:54:34
			amount of knowledge. Those who
say, I have a lot of knowledge, I
		
00:54:34 --> 00:54:37
			have a lot of skill and I can use
my knowledge to blackmail. I can
		
00:54:37 --> 00:54:40
			use my knowledge as leverage to
haggle people or you want to know
		
00:54:40 --> 00:54:43
			or pay me you know, those people
who have used others for the sake
		
00:54:43 --> 00:54:45
			of giving them knowledge and
sometimes that knowledge may even
		
00:54:45 --> 00:54:49
			be made up who give me $100,000
And I will tell you where the
		
00:54:50 --> 00:54:53
			treasure that your ancestors hid,
where it will get you information
		
00:54:53 --> 00:54:55
			about, you know, the person that
you're that is
		
00:54:56 --> 00:55:00
			doing black magic on you and all
that kind of stuff. Oh,
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:02
			There is a form of wolf that you
see people who are very wealthy,
		
00:55:02 --> 00:55:03
			politically
		
00:55:04 --> 00:55:08
			positioned and privilege, they
will begin to have to learn in
		
00:55:08 --> 00:55:11
			enforcing their own doctrines and
enforcing their own views upon
		
00:55:11 --> 00:55:14
			others. And also to the end can
happen because of people around
		
00:55:14 --> 00:55:19
			you, constantly giving you good
positive compliments. And that's
		
00:55:19 --> 00:55:22
			why we have to be very careful
with our compliments. And I say
		
00:55:22 --> 00:55:25
			this to everybody, if you see
someone that is doing good, and
		
00:55:25 --> 00:55:28
			that is that is doing hair, know
that there is a gift that was
		
00:55:28 --> 00:55:31
			given to them, maybe because of a
secret between them and a las
		
00:55:31 --> 00:55:33
			Panatela. Maybe because they
suffered earlier on in the lives,
		
00:55:34 --> 00:55:37
			maybe because a test you don't
know. So don't contribute to that
		
00:55:37 --> 00:55:40
			person's test, by constantly
giving them compliments.
		
00:55:42 --> 00:55:45
			unconditionally, just like that,
because that will weaken their
		
00:55:45 --> 00:55:48
			connection with Allah subhanaw
taala you have to be very careful
		
00:55:48 --> 00:55:51
			with the words that you give, say
them in the form of dua, Allah is
		
00:55:51 --> 00:55:53
			using you and ask Allah to
continue to protect you and to
		
00:55:53 --> 00:55:56
			continue to use you. Allah has
privileged you, Allah has blessed
		
00:55:56 --> 00:56:00
			you it's a responsibility hold on
tight. So I'm giving them a
		
00:56:00 --> 00:56:03
			compliment, but in giving them the
compliment. I'm also keeping them
		
00:56:03 --> 00:56:07
			grounded. So they don't now Oh,
I'm so good. Yeah, and, you know,
		
00:56:07 --> 00:56:09
			sometimes, you will see, for
example, some people they're still
		
00:56:09 --> 00:56:13
			not, they still haven't developed
a full, a false sense of self
		
00:56:13 --> 00:56:16
			accountability. So for example,
after they receive really, really
		
00:56:16 --> 00:56:19
			good feedback from their
supervisor at work, what happens,
		
00:56:19 --> 00:56:22
			they start slacking off, oh, I
paid my dues down to, you know,
		
00:56:22 --> 00:56:25
			not done that time to not do what
is right, but shouldn't be that
		
00:56:25 --> 00:56:28
			way. So it's the person's
responsibility, who's receiving
		
00:56:28 --> 00:56:31
			the compliment to appreciate you
know, people are trying their best
		
00:56:31 --> 00:56:34
			to appreciate, I appreciate it,
but not let it get to you. You're
		
00:56:34 --> 00:56:38
			never going to be as good as your
fans claim me to be. And you're
		
00:56:38 --> 00:56:41
			never going to be as bad as your
critics like you to be, or paint
		
00:56:41 --> 00:56:44
			you to be. And Allah Subhana Allah
knows you better than you know
		
00:56:44 --> 00:56:48
			yourself. So keep going. Do the
fair, avoid all the noise, whether
		
00:56:48 --> 00:56:51
			good or negative, use the
criticism that comes from people
		
00:56:51 --> 00:56:54
			who really really care for you as
an opportunity to grow. Yeah,
		
00:56:54 --> 00:56:58
			exactly. This is good. Almost all
of the time. They're not real and
		
00:56:59 --> 00:57:01
			they're exaggerated. Yeah. So
that, that is true. I like to
		
00:57:01 --> 00:57:04
			always give people hope, no one
when they you know, when they give
		
00:57:04 --> 00:57:07
			compliments, you haven't done it,
you have good intentions, but
		
00:57:07 --> 00:57:10
			ignore and dismiss them right,
ignore and dismiss them. And keep
		
00:57:10 --> 00:57:14
			keep in mind that Allah Subhana
Allah is the One who, who knows
		
00:57:14 --> 00:57:17
			you better than you know yourself.
Right? So Kela in an internal
		
00:57:17 --> 00:57:21
			Yato, our rooster owner, who is
Governor,
		
00:57:23 --> 00:57:28
			excellent, and I give given you
here a few examples of, of, you
		
00:57:28 --> 00:57:31
			know, the forms of history, that
Allah Subhana Allah mentions in
		
00:57:31 --> 00:57:34
			the Quran that Allah subhanaw
taala mentions in the Quran, and
		
00:57:34 --> 00:57:38
			mentions in the in the Hadith. The
Prophet Muhammad Salam used to
		
00:57:38 --> 00:57:41
			make this beautiful dua, Allah
humara Metallica Arrojo Falletta
		
00:57:41 --> 00:57:45
			kill nila, let's see a thorough
feta Iein was literally shut me
		
00:57:46 --> 00:57:47
			either.
		
00:57:48 --> 00:57:53
			Oh Allah I seek Your mercy. So
leave me not on my own even for
		
00:57:53 --> 00:57:57
			the glimpse of an eye and rectify
all my affairs for there's no
		
00:57:57 --> 00:58:01
			daddy besides you. This is why
that we make to protect ourselves
		
00:58:01 --> 00:58:03
			from our own lives. Because
sometimes we like to think of
		
00:58:03 --> 00:58:06
			ourselves as self sufficient. So
one of the laws that we make to
		
00:58:06 --> 00:58:09
			protect ourselves from that is
this dua May Allah Subhana Allah
		
00:58:09 --> 00:58:14
			bless you and give you Jana to
further those Yeah, rob me and
		
00:58:14 --> 00:58:15
			buy.
		
00:58:16 --> 00:58:23
			In Leila, bigger Raja, indeed to
your Lord is the final return to
		
00:58:23 --> 00:58:27
			your Lord is the final return. So
don't think of yourself as self
		
00:58:27 --> 00:58:30
			sufficient. Because you always
depend on a loss Panther. And you
		
00:58:30 --> 00:58:33
			always need a loss panitan And to
Allah subhanaw taala, you're
		
00:58:33 --> 00:58:36
			going, you're on the journey back
to Allah Subhana Allah. So how can
		
00:58:36 --> 00:58:39
			you think of yourself as self
sufficient as independent as
		
00:58:39 --> 00:58:44
			independent? We are social beings
by definition. And you know, we
		
00:58:44 --> 00:58:47
			were always going to still need
people. Like, for example, even if
		
00:58:47 --> 00:58:49
			you're the greatest person in the
world, how will you come to
		
00:58:49 --> 00:58:52
			realize that you're the greatest
person in the world without having
		
00:58:52 --> 00:58:53
			people that tell you that?
		
00:58:55 --> 00:58:58
			If you're the most generous person
in the world, how will you be
		
00:58:58 --> 00:59:01
			generous if there are no poor
people to give money to? If you're
		
00:59:01 --> 00:59:04
			the kindest person alive? How are
we going to know what kindness is,
		
00:59:04 --> 00:59:06
			is if ALLAH SubhanA did not create
a system in which there is
		
00:59:06 --> 00:59:10
			kindness and there's also evil in
the world, as a result of people's
		
00:59:10 --> 00:59:15
			own decisions, so you're always
limited, then attached and down by
		
00:59:15 --> 00:59:18
			system, ie the greatest politician
needs people to govern. The
		
00:59:18 --> 00:59:21
			greatest scientists needs what
it's part of an entire enterprise.
		
00:59:21 --> 00:59:26
			So you're always limited and down.
Even physically how can I think
		
00:59:26 --> 00:59:28
			without my brain but where's my
brain come from? It's a gift from
		
00:59:28 --> 00:59:30
			Allah Spinetta. How can I
articulate without my tongue
		
00:59:30 --> 00:59:32
			Where's where's the tongue from?
So at the end of the day, ALLAH
		
00:59:32 --> 00:59:35
			SubhanA, Allah is reminding us
everything goes back to Allah in
		
00:59:35 --> 00:59:37
			Arabic Raja to Allah is the
ultimate return. If you look at
		
00:59:37 --> 00:59:41
			your phone and you trace all the
resources or trace everything,
		
00:59:41 --> 00:59:43
			where does it come from,
ultimately comes from Allah, where
		
00:59:43 --> 00:59:46
			is ultimately going to Allah. So
everything comes from Allah and
		
00:59:46 --> 00:59:51
			going back to Allah. So what? Take
you these, recognize your place,
		
00:59:52 --> 00:59:55
			humble yourself. Sometimes we
forget it's such a simple thing. A
		
00:59:55 --> 00:59:58
			child you could have accomplished
job Nicaea or you know, everything
		
00:59:58 --> 01:00:00
			comes from Allah. I didn't know
I've gone back to
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:03
			like it's such a simple concept,
but sometimes in our day to day
		
01:00:03 --> 01:00:08
			interactions, we forget, but it is
six o'clock and we want to show
		
01:00:08 --> 01:00:11
			our respect everybody's time. So
what I will do in Charlotte this
		
01:00:11 --> 01:00:14
			time is I will ask you members
individually for those for your
		
01:00:14 --> 01:00:17
			permission to bring the Halacha to
a close, and then inshallah Tada I
		
01:00:17 --> 01:00:21
			will be releasing a third video
soon. The finishes the surah
		
01:00:21 --> 01:00:24
			recaps everything in sha Allah to
Allah gives you a little bit more
		
01:00:24 --> 01:00:26
			information about the other move
as soon said about the end of the
		
01:00:26 --> 01:00:30
			surah contextualize a little bit
and then in sha Allah to Allah
		
01:00:30 --> 01:00:34
			talk about some Philippi
perspectives on the Salah, because
		
01:00:34 --> 01:00:37
			this was mentioned at the end of
the solar is a form of Salah says
		
01:00:37 --> 01:00:40
			that so what kind of Salah did the
Companions pray? How did the salah
		
01:00:40 --> 01:00:43
			change across some of the
companions? What does my father
		
01:00:43 --> 01:00:46
			say? What does it say? What does
Mujahid say? What are these MOFA
		
01:00:46 --> 01:00:49
			students say? And how do we
contextualize all of that within
		
01:00:49 --> 01:00:52
			the bigger picture of the serum
does that come Allah Hi Ron, may
		
01:00:52 --> 01:00:55
			Allah bless you ask Allah to bless
you your families and giving them
		
01:00:55 --> 01:00:57
			that for those keepers in your
DUA. Subhanak along with the human
		
01:00:57 --> 01:01:01
			dignity of Allah in Ireland, Mr.
