Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen

alumina alumina MA and from when foreigner Lima alum Turner was it
for additional help to Hopton orders okna Tibba are already in unbelted Abelton orders OpenACC Tina, would you minister me una cola for you, Toby ruiner center. And I mean, what Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
last week, we covered several names of Allah subhanahu wa Tada
that were related to his power and might.
And so we spoke about allies ease.
Al Jabbar
a we Elma team, all of these names go back to the meanings of might power,
the irresistible force of Allah subhanahu wa taala
and so on.
And so tonight Inshallah, we're going to continue along that same theme, moving on to names that relate to his supremacy
is *, Hill prevailing over his creation.
And so, these names that we have tonight are two names
a car here and alcohol
and car here and alcohol.
And so, both of these names,
if we were to think about it, they come from the same root word
of power,
which in the Arabic language means
to subjugate
to prevail over.
But obviously, there has to be a difference now between these two names. So, what is the difference?
Basically, in the Arabic language, we have different skills.
So you have
the skill of Farrell,
which means the doer
and then you have the skill of FAD
which means the doer who does a lot of something
or who does something continuously.
And we mentioned this previously which with which names of Allah
previously we we covered two names of Allah that had the same root word.
And it had the same difference.
Who can recall which those tunings were
they were raw zipped and a result.
So a raw zip is the provider.
A result is the one who continuously provides constantly.
And so here with Alcoy here and Alta hub
the first alcohol is the one who
is supreme who dominates.
And alcohol is the one who is ever dominated
the one who is ever irresistible.
It's on both of these two names have been mentioned in the Quran.
As we're all here, it's been mentioned twice.
It's been mentioned twice, and both times it's been mentioned in the same sentence, the same words were used
and both times are in the same surah
and that is suitable and
and so Allah subhanho wa Taala says in verse in verse 18, of Surah, Langham Wahoo we're all here will fellow chi da de
Wahoo hockey more hobbies?
He is He reigns supreme over his service.
He is a car here.
FOCA
over Are you ready over his servants? Well who will Hakima hobby and he is the author why?
We all aware this the first place in sort of the second place insurable and harm is in verse 61. Verse 61, Allah subhanho wa Taala says, will who will call Hebrew Felker. Notice the same words was a word for call hero felt very bad and he is a call here
Soca over a daddy over his servants.
But the continuation is different. And so Allah says here while you receive Alikum half hour, and he sends recording angels to watch over you.
So this is where the respect to alcohol. As for alcohol it's been mentioned six times in the Quran
it's been mentioned six times in the Quran. And what we notice is that every time it's been mentioned,
it's been combined with another name of Allah
and the same name for that matter. Previously, we mentioned Names of Allah that are usually combined with other names.
But usually they're mentioned with several other names. For example, we mentioned last week, Elisa's
it's mentioned with
several of Allah's names, so it's mentioned with Al Hakim, it's mentioned with Allah alim. It's mentioned with Rahim
Wahoo al Aziz or Hakeem
Aziz Rahim, etc. But with kahar Each of the six times it's been mentioned it's been mentioned with the same name of Allah, which name is that?
Which name is that?
Actually, true Names of Allah.
Allah and
and why it
Allah and Allahu
Allah and Allah.
So for example, in Surah Yusuf
when use of Halle salaam was thrown in prison,
and he met his prison mates.
And he wanted to basically they asked him to, they had asked them to
interpret for them their dream.
He did it right away, interpret it for them. Instead, he said, this is an opportunity to give down
and to call them to the Oneness of Allah.
And so what did he say? Yeah, so he begged his surgeon Arruda buta for re una Hiren
amela who Luca he don't
all my fellow prisoners which is far better
many different lords or Allah, Allah wa hid the one and alcohol the prevailing the supreme
another example of alcohol
is in surah T Brahim.
Allah subhanho wa Taala says
at the end of Surah Ibrahim talking about the Day of Judgment, yo mama to that little oral do over y'all are OB was Santa that
the Day when the earth will be changed into a different earth and the heavens as well. And then Allah says well borrowers who Lilla hill where he will call her and they will all appear before Allah and Wahid kaha, the one end the kahar.
So as we can see from these two names and call her Anil Tahar, Allah is the One who prevails over everything.
He is dominant over his creation. He is the one who is victorious over any opposition, he is the one who is whose will is irresistible. He is the one who is dominant. He is the one whom
everyone submits to the one who everyone has to submit to.
With regards to we'll call here and
specifically this, one will call he will FOCA either, even Kofi if he says in his Tafseer
it means
to Allah the next or
subservient, that tyrants are humble before him, and he has complete control over everything.
The creatures have all bow down to Allah and are humble before his grace, his honor, his pride, his greatness, His Highness, and his ability, over all things, that creatures are insignificant before him, for they are all under his irresistible decision and power. So this is the meaning of Allah being FOCA, he had a lobbying call here,
prevailing supreme over his servants
asked for the hog, we mentioned
that it has been mentioned six times.
And each time it was mentioned with a law and otherwise.
Now, what is the significance of that?
What is the significance of that? Why would Allah specifically mentioned this one name
and not any other name, combined with alcohol.
And unwanted is a name that we previously covered?
It was in the very beginning.
And we mentioned that Iowa head means the one
the one and only.
So, what does that have to do with a Taha?
And if we were to reflect over
the Quran and how Allah
uses his names, we always find that there is a wisdom in it. There's always a wisdom behind
mentioning certain names with others. And we mentioned this, we gave several examples of this.
For example, Al Aziz, why is it mentioned so many times with Al Hakim, we mentioned this last week, right? Why is Allah Aziz mentioned so many times with Al Hakim? Why
al Aziz being the Almighty and Al Hakim being the all wise
because
Yeah, so basically, we mentioned al Aziz being the Almighty, usually people who are who have meat and power, they misuse that later power.
So Allah wanted to show us that He is not like that.
And so He is Allah Aziz. And at the same time, he is Al Hakim, to our wives. So he uses his power and his might, in a just way, in a wise way, not misusing it.
Here with alcohol, and unwanted. What we notice
is that all six times that they have been mentioned, all six times that alcohol has been mentioned.
It has been mentioned in two contexts.
The first is
affirming Allah as a oneness, the Tawheed of Allah, and refuting the arguments of the mushy Kuhn, who associate partners with Allah.
And so the meaning of alcohol here is that Allah prevails, and is dominant over the machete Kuhn, and their weak and feeble arguments justifying their ship.
And so he is the one who subdues the don'ts and the arguments with clear evidences.
And so that's the significance of mentioning and Wowhead with alcohol.
Allah is One.
He is one in every way.
And he is also one
alone, deserving worship alone without any partners.
And so the most Recoome who worship with Allah partners,
they tried to justify that worship, and they try to justify their shit.
And so they'll argue with you, they'll put forth different arguments, and Allah abolishes all of their arguments.
And that was through the Quran. That was through the prayer. And that's why Allah commanded the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when he was in Makkah,
not to wage a physical jihad against his opponents.
With the sword that came later in Medina, but Allah commanded him to wage a jihad
in Mecca
what was that? Those Allah's command? Were J he to whom b He hadn't Kabira fight them
in jihad with it.
What is it the Quran
abolish their arguments with what would
use the Quran as your weapon.
Because Quran is filled with arguments, clear evidence is
showing how Allah prevails over the machinery cool.
So look at all of these ayat.
We said the cohort has been mentioned six times.
Four of these times is in this context.
So the first interaction in the story of use of
he said my fellow prisoners, which is far better, many different lords are a law the one the kahar
so here use of it Islam is
abolishing their idea of ship.
The other idea Surah to Rod Allah says Amjad hula he should occur and soloqueue casal t for the Chava Han Hoku Aliya or have they associated with our partners who supposedly produced a creation like his creation? Leaving them confused about to creations?
Cooley Law who hall you kukuli Shane Wahoo well aware he will
say, Allah is the Creator of all things and He is an
alcoholic. This is sort of Roger Ver 60.
The third example in sort of sod
in verse 65, Allah says, Cool in
and among their, say, Muhammad, I am nothing but a warner.
Well, ma'am, in ILA in Illa law hold where he did kahar And there is no ILA there is no deity object of worship, who deserves worship except Allah. Allah Wahid and
and finally, the fourth example is in sewer to Zoomer.
Verse four in right in the very beginning,
low or odd Wahoo. After Allah mentioned how they have taken partners with Allah and they have associated to Allah, offspring and son, Allah says, No or odd Allahu Enya tells you that when Adam lots of years lewco Nyasha had it been Allah's Will to take children. He could have chosen whatever he willed of His creation. So the Hannah who Allahu Afy daughter, her, Glory be to Him, He is Allah, and Wofford.
So now these are four places where alcohol is mentioned, all four we can see are in the context of Allah affirming his Tauheed and abolishing schicke. So Allah, mentioning his name and kahar
is in the sense that Allah prevails,
is dominant
in subduing the machinery cool, and their arguments, and he has prevailed over them.
The second context in which alcohol is mentioned, and once again with our head is
in the context of warning, the machete Koon of the punishment
that awaits them in the afternoon.
threatening them with the punishment of Allah on the Day of Judgment.
So the meaning of our kahar here is that Allah will prevail and will be dominant
over the machete Kuhn in the Astra, and they will have to be subjugated to him.
They will have to
submit to Him humble themselves to him.
And so He will resurrect everyone.
And no one will be able to resist that.
He will bring everyone
before him to judge them and no one will be able to resist that.
And that is the meaning of an AHA
to one
subjugates everyone, the one who no one can resist him the irresistible one.
So he will prevail over everyone on that day
and this has been mentioned twice.
This has been mentioned twice the first time is in Surat, Ibrahim, as we mentioned, Yama two that there will or will do over Iran or we was an hour
the Day when the earth will be changed to another earth, and the heavens as well while Bara zhu li Lai hill where she DeLuca
and they will all appear before Allah, meaning on the day of judgment, and worship, and
in the second time that this has been mentioned in this context, and is now the sixth time that alcohol has been mentioned in the Quran, in Surah toffee verse 16.
Allah subhanho wa Taala says, Yo know whom berries una Lai AlFalah wa he mean whom shade
on the day that all will appear before Allah, nothing about them will be hidden at all.
Lehman in Malecon Young.
Allah will ask, who does the milk? Who does the authority and the dominion? Who does it belong to on this day?
LilLah Allahu Ahad alcohol, he belongs to Allah, the One the Supreme.
So what we can see is a clear correlation between alcohol and wild.
Here concerning the Day of Judgment, it's clear, only Allah will remain
alone.
Their false gods that they worshipped, will vanish on that day.
They will have no power, no night no help
from their false gods that they used to put so much trust in
that they used to worship thinking that it is a source of elevation source of light, all that will vanish on that date. And only and Wowhead and alcohol will remain and
among the lessons that we learn from
these two names of Allah and call him an alcohol, first of all,
that Allah subhanho wa Taala prevails over his entire creation.
No matter how much light they may have,
no matter who they are in this dunya
they can never resist the force of Allah subhanho wa taala.
And so if they could,
they would by resisting death,
but they can't. This is why
Allah reminds us
after he tells us that he is one who will die he will felt guided
in total and ham the second instance, which is verse 61. What did Allah say, Well, who will fall well, who will call Hebrew folk Abed?
Will you receive Alikum half Allah, He is called here over his servants, and he sends recording angels to watch over you.
Then what does Allah say, had Elijah Qumulo to to what tools will Luna Homeline for
then when death comes to any of you, our angels take the soul and in the they never neglect this duty. The angels do not neglect this duty of taking away the soul at the time of death.
showing us the who is in charge.
Who is in control?
Who has the ultimate might and power number Allah subhanho wa Taala irresistible
so Allah prevails over his entire creation and no matter how much
no matter how much meat or strength we have, no one no matter who they are, can resist Allah subhanho wa taala. The second lesson that we learned is that a lot prevails over us
and subjugates us to His will, as he Subhanahu wa Taala pleases
as he pleases
without us having any say in his decisions.
So
Thus the meaning of Allah being the irresistible one, his will
is fulfilled, his will is executed. We cannot resist
Allah and His will.
And whatever he decides, whatever he plans for us.
And so we we should not object to Allah. That's what we learn from this.
Who are we to object to Allah?
When we have no say in his decisions,
law use
alone.
He is not questioned about what he does,
but rather the will be questioned, meaning
Allah is not questioned about what he does.
It is we who will be questioned by Allah.
Why, because
he is our rump, and he is our Creator.
It's simple. No one should say why?
Why is it that Allah
does not give us
the choice to decide our clutter?
The answer is very simple, because he is your Creator. Allah subhanahu wa taala when He created you, he never took your permission to create you.
He created you without asking you. So who are you to question Allah.
But now, this does not mean this does not mean that Allah has forced us
and not giving us free will.
Yes, when it comes to the color of Allah, what Allah plans for us, that is in Allah's hands, and he wills for it to happen the way it happens, without any choice on our part.
However, Allah has given us free will,
for our actions,
that will result in either reward or punishment in the after. That is what Allah has given us free will.
And that is why no one can justify
their evil actions by trying to use clutter.
And saying, Allah
will pay for me to do these evil actions. Without any choice. On my part, that's not true. Allah has given you a free will.
Allah has given you a free will.
And so that is why we affirm that although Allah plans and he wills, and he has subdued us, the very meaning of alcohol, and him being alcohol,
he has subdued us
to His will. Although that is true when it comes to our actions, our human actions that will result in either reward or punishment. In the era, he has given us the freewill to decide he has given us the freewill to decide. And each each and every single one of us recognizes that it's not something
it's not something difficult to understand. If someone was to go on to
go onto a bridge and say I'm going to commit suicide, I'm going to jump off of this bridge.
And there's people around and he tells them
I'm doing this because I'm being subjugated by the will of Allah.
I have no choice.
Would anyone accept that? No, no one would accept that.
So we all recognize that we have free will. So why is it that when we commit sins, we want to put the blame on Allah and not take responsibility for our own actions that we did as a result of our fever
or the loss of China who had to add a firm both his will as well as our will.
What not to show una de la sha Allah,
you do not will accept that Allah also wills. So Allah attributed to us human beings freewill, and he also attributed to himself, his will and so they go hand in hand we cannot deny either
The third lesson that we learned from a call here and alcohol is that these two names should make one to feel weak
and humbled before Allah subhana who had to Allah and his mate
and his irresistible force, especially when you realize that
everything happens by the command of Allah,
by the wish of Allah.
When you become sick,
it was as a result of the will of Allah. When a calamity strikes you, it happened because of the will of Allah, you cannot resist it.
And so this should make us to feel weak before Allah
to feel humble, before Allah subhanho wa taala, thus
pushing you to worship Allah,
that is the eventual
result in understanding this name of Allah, that it should push you to worship Allah and put your trust in Allah
and seek Allah's protection from every harm from every evil
because you know, and you realize
that everything is in the hands of Allah subhanahu wata. Finally,
the last lesson that we can learn from alcohol is that this is a name that
belongs to Allah alone.
And so, it is not suitable for human beings
to be named as kaha.
And so we mentioned previously that there are certain names that Allah has, that we human beings can also use, as long as we take away the end in the beginning.
So for example, Aziz,
it's a title that was used in the story of use of Hollywood Sara,
as a law mentions in Syracuse.
Also, we said, Rahim,
you can
refer to someone as being Rahim, as being merciful.
Hakeem, you can refer to someone as being wise, and so on and so forth.
As with the hog, it's not a name that is suitable for us.
And we should not describe ourselves with this attribute of color.
And that's because usually anyone who is described with it
usually uses it and misuses it.
And so Allah mentions this in the story of Pharaoh
call so no cut to a dinner at home when a stuffy nice home,
that we will kill their sons and we will keep their women
were in FOCA whom coffee room
and we will completely prevail over the coffee room, we will be dominant over.
So usually when it is mentioned, as an attribute for human beings, it's mentioned in that negative connotation.
And that's why the Prophet sallallahu That's why Allah subhanho wa Taala forbade the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
from
a cloud
with respect to the orphans, suited to Buddha for Emelia tema, Fela Takahara.
For Emelia, tema, Fela taco, as for the orphan, do not subjugate him, Do not oppress him. So, this is
a name and an attribute that is not suitable for human beings as for Allah. Then as we mentioned earlier,
Allah subhanho wa taala, although he is a kahar He doesn't misuse his dominance. He doesn't misuse
his irresistible force, but rather, he uses it in only what is helped in only what is true, and it only what is justice, as we have seen, and that's why Allah says what will cause you to vote die, Daddy, will who will Hakeem and Holly
and he is the wise and the owner.
Until we ask Allah subhana wa
Allah to grant us the beneficial knowledge of Him subhanho wa Taala through His names, his most beautiful names and lofty attributes.
