00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			We continue with our series on the,
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			most beautiful names of Allah,
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:07
			Asma'ualla
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			al Husna.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			And so far, we've covered some of the
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			most important
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			names of Allah,
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			and we continue
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			we continue on to,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			tonight to discuss other important,
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			names of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			And as I mentioned previously, the way we're
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			gonna do it is
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			we're gonna try to bring together,
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			those names that,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			revolve around the same,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:44
			meaning.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			And obviously mentioning the differences between those names.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			But in general, we're gonna try to bring
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:54
			together
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			those names that have similar meanings and discuss
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			them
		
00:02:59 --> 00:02:59
			as,
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			you know,
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			1 attribute of Allah
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			because they all refer to the same,
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			the same attribute.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			And so today, we have 2
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			sets of names that we're gonna talk about.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			The first
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			are 4 names that we have.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			These 4 names,
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			they all refer to
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			Allah being the Creator.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			Al Khalak,
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
			Al Khalak,
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			Al Bari,
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			and Al Musawir.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			And so Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			has identified
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			himself as being the creator
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:56
			Numerous times
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			in the Quran throughout the Quran.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			Whether he's a creator of us human beings
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:03
			or
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			the creator of
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			the creation in general.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			As for 3 of these names,
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			3 of these names,
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			they come together in 1 ayah.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			Who knows that ayah?
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			They're mentioned 1 after the other in the
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27
			same ayah. Do you know Surat Al Hashut?
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			Yeah. In Surat Al Hashut.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			So in Surat Al Hashud, the very end
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			of Surat Al Hashud, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			he
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:40
			lists several of His names, about 17.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44
			And among them are these 3 names. Allah
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:44
			says,
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			He is Allah
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			Al Khalik the creator.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			Al Bari
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			the 1 who invents
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			and Al Musawir
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			the 1 who
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:05
			fashions or
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:06
			shapes.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			And we're gonna talk about the differences between
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			these names later on.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			As for Al Khalaq,
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			then it has been mentioned twice in the
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:15
			Quran.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			And that is first of all in Surat
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:20
			Al Hajjur.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			Surah Al Hajjur verse
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:29
			86.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			Allah says that
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:33
			your Lord
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:34
			is indeed
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:36
			Al Khalaq,
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:37
			the creator
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			and Al Alim, the all knowing.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			And the other place Al Khalak is mentioned
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			is in Surah
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			Yaseem.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:46
			Surah Yaseem,
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			towards the end verse 81.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			Can the 1 who created the heavens and
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			the earth
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:04
			not easily,
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			you know,
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			recreate these people?
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:13
			Alalim.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			Yes. For he is
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			the creator of Khalak and
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:20
			the most knowing.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:25
			So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is the creator
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			of everything
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			without exception.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			And there is no creator besides him.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:36
			There is no creator besides Allah.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			And so we have Allah
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			and we have his creation.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:49
			Everything besides Allah is his creation.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:53
			Everything besides Allah, his very being
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			and that includes
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			his names and his attributes.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			Everything besides that is his creation.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			But anything related to Allah like his attributes,
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			we do not say any of that is
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			created.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			As opposed to some of the sects of
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			the past who said
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			that no.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			For example, the speech of Allah which is
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			an attribute of His,
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:25
			They said that the Quran is
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			created.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			It is the created word of Allah. Allah
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			created it.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			But the point is that everything besides Allah
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			and His attributes is His creation.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			But Allah Himself and His attributes are uncreated.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45
			And the evidence for this is pretty clear
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:49
			throughout the Quran. For example, Allah says, Allahu
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:49
			khalikukulishay.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			Allah created everything.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:54
			Everything.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			That that means without any exception.
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			If that is the case, that Allah is
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:05
			the creator,
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			then the question is
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			can
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			Al Khalq or creation
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			be attributed
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			to anyone besides Allah?
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			So can we say
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			I created,
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			you know, whatever
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			this product, for example.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34
			Can we attribute creation to ourselves or not?
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			What? It means like
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			crushing something from something else?
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			Okay. Anyone else?
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			Can we attribute
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52
			creation to anyone besides Allah? Because we've just
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:55
			explained right now that Allah is the sole
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:55
			creator.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			Right? So the answer is no.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:01
			Okay.
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:02
			In the Quran,
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			Allah refers to himself as
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			Allah says
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			He said this after He
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:20
			mentioned
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:24
			how he created us from a sperm.
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			And then how,
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			you know, the stages of
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			our creation in the wombs of our mothers.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			So blessed is Allah.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:58
			What is Asanu Khaliqin mean? The best of
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:58
			creators.
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:00
			The best
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:01
			of creators.
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:03
			So here
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			what Allah is saying is that he is
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			the best of those who create, meaning
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:11
			that we can attribute creation to others.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			But here we have to understand what
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:16
			we mean. And so,
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			creation can mean 1 of 2 things as
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			the brother mentioned.
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:24
			Creation can mean 1 of 2 things.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:25
			Number 1,
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			to bring something into existence
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:34
			from nothing and to invent it without any
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:35
			president.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			To create something
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:39
			from nothing
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			and to invent something
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			without precedent. Meaning,
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46
			there's nothing like it
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			prior to you creating it.
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			And this is only Allah.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:57
			This is only attributed to Allah.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			The second
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			meaning of creation is
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:06
			creating and invented things, inventing things,
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			out of other things that already exist.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:12
			So,
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			you know, what do we create?
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			What do we, human beings,
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:20
			invent and manufacture?
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:26
			We make things out of material that already
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:26
			exists
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29
			from metal, from wood
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:32
			and so on and so forth.
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:36
			You know, even the materials that we have
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:36
			today
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:41
			Like, let's say plastic,
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			right? Even that is
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44
			molded from
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:47
			from natural resources.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:52
			And all of those natural resources are created
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:53
			by Allah.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:55
			Right?
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:57
			So,
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			we can attribute creation to
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			ourselves. However,
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			we need to understand the difference between these
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:06
			2 kinds
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:07
			of creation.
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:11
			So the ultimate creator is none but Allah
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:11
			subhanahu
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			So now what is the difference between these
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
			4 names
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			that we have mentioned?
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21
			Al Khalikh, Al Khalak,
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			Al Bari, and Al Musawir.
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:29
			Al Khaliq
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:31
			is the creator.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			The 1 who
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:35
			decrees
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:39
			existence for his creation before bringing them
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:41
			into existence.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:43
			He had decreed
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:44
			already
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46
			before he created you.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			He already decreed
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:51
			and wrote it that you're gonna be created.
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:55
			And that is based on his knowledge and
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:55
			his wisdom.
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			So Al Khalikh is the creator.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:06
			And this is, you know, in in in
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:06
			Arabic
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:10
			on the scale of Tharib,
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:13
			which means the doer.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			As for Al Khalaq, it is on the
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:17
			scale of Thaal,
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			which is And we've mentioned this previously.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			What is al fa'al?
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:28
			What is the connotation there that is given?
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			It's not just the doer, but
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			Yeah. Someone who is
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:38
			described as
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:40
			continuously doing the thing or,
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43
			he he
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:46
			he's gone to the max in that particular
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:46
			attribute.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:49
			So
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:52
			Al Khalaq is the 1 who
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			constantly creates to no end.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:56
			Al Khalaq
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			is the 1 who constantly creates
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			to no end.
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			As for Albari,
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:11
			then Al Bari means
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:14
			the inventor
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:19
			who brings his creation into existence from nothing.
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:21
			The inventor
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:24
			who
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			brings
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:29
			His creation into existence
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			from nothing.
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			And prior to existing.
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			K. And and this is the difference between
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:46
			what we mentioned,
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			where we can be attributed with creation,
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:51
			and that it is different than the creation
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			of Allah. This is the difference.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56
			This is the difference.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			Only Allah is the 1 who creates from
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			nothing.
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:02
			As for us, whatever we create, whatever we
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			make, whatever we manufacture,
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			it is created from things that
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:08
			we did not create. Right?
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:12
			All he has to do is say, kun
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:13
			faya kun.
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:17
			You know, it's not a process for Allah,
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:20
			where he has to sit down and plan,
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25
			you know, how he's gonna create something.
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:28
			He just has to say be and there
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:29
			it is.
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:31
			Right?
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:34
			And that's 1 of the arguments that Allah
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:35
			uses in the Quran
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:36
			to refute
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:37
			the
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:39
			christians who claim that,
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:43
			the A'isa
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			was the son of Allah because they couldn't
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:48
			fathom the idea that a person can exist
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:49
			without a father.
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:53
			So Allah refutes them
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:59
			by mentioning that 'Isa alayhis salam
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:00
			was
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			the word of Allah. That's the meaning of
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:06
			'Isa alayhis salam being the word of Allah.
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			Kalima Tim Minhu,
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:11
			and that
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:14
			Kalima, that word is Kun,
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			Be and there he was in the womb
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			of his mother, Mariam.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			As for Al
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:23
			Musawir,
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:25
			then that is the fashioner
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:29
			who gives
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:33
			every creation its particular distinct unique
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:35
			shape or form.
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			As opposed to us when we manufacture things,
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			they're pretty much identical.
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:54
			But Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, look at how,
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:58
			look at how He creates.
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:01
			Where,
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:03
			you know, science
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:05
			has taught us a lot of things about
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:07
			our own creation today,
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:14
			And that is that every single human being
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:16
			has
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:18
			a unique fingerprint.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			And there are no 2 fingers and 2
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			fingerprints that are identical.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			And here we're talking about
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			not just a few people,
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:35
			not just a couple of a 100 or
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			a couple of 1, 000. We're talking about
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:38
			in the 1, 000, 000, 000 and trillions
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			from Adam alaihis salam until the day of
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:41
			judgment.
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:44
			Every human being is different than the other.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:48
			And that is the meaning of Allah being
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:49
			the Musawear.
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:53
			He fashions. He gives you a particular unique,
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:55
			distinct,
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:57
			form
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			and shape.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			Even 2 twins
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:03
			who even if we were to say they're
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05
			identical twins,
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			to us they seem to be identical,
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			but they have a lot of things that
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:10
			are different
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:12
			that makes each unique.
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16
			And so this is al Muzawir.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:20
			What do they what do these 4 names
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:20
			teach us?
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:22
			First of all,
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:25
			Allah
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:27
			is
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:29
			the creator
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:33
			who brought this creation into existence
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:35
			from nothing.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:38
			And this is something that is recognized by
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:39
			everyone.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			This is something that
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:42
			practically
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:44
			everyone
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:48
			it's part of their fitra, their innate nature
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:49
			to recognize it,
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:52
			to acknowledge it.
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:00
			And that's why throughout the Quran,
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:05
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala uses this attribute of
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:05
			his,
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:06
			of Halk,
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			to disprove
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:13
			worshiping others.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16
			To disprove
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:17
			the worship of others.
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22
			And so for example, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:23
			says,
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:28
			Allah
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:37
			Allah asks a very simple question here,
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			is there a creator other than Allah who
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:41
			provides
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:43
			for you from the heavens and the earth?
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:44
			So here's the question.
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:47
			Is there any creator
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			besides Allah who gives to you, who provides
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:50
			for you?
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54
			From the heavens and the earth. What does
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:55
			Allah say right after that?
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:57
			La ilaha illa,
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:00
			There is none except Him.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:04
			There is no God, deity who deserves to
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:04
			be worshiped
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:06
			except Him.
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:09
			And,
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:12
			you know, similar ayat in the Quran. We
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:14
			have many similar ayat in the Quran.
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:16
			The point here
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:19
			is that everyone recognizes
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:22
			that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25
			is the sole creator
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:28
			No matter what religion they follow,
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:32
			even if they are idol worshipers and they're,
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:33
			you know, they're
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:34
			not monotheists,
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:42
			they have some form of belief in a
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:43
			greater being,
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:47
			the greater God
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:51
			who created everything.
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:55
			And
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:56
			even the Quraysh
		
00:20:58 --> 00:20:59
			and the Arabs of Jahilia,
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:01
			they recognized
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:05
			that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the only
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:06
			sole creator.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			And when we look back at,
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			you know,
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:14
			human civilization,
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:16
			We find that
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:22
			You know, throughout time, no 1 really denied
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:23
			that there is a creator.
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			It was only in our present time
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:30
			where you have atheists
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:31
			who
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33
			deny their existence of a creator.
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:38
			But historically,
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:42
			this has been an agreed upon belief.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45
			No 1 denied it. There were rare cases,
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			rare individuals throughout history who may have
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51
			been what you can call an atheist.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:54
			But was it something widespread? No.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			And that's why
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:00
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala did not send the
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:01
			prophets and the messengers
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			to tell the people
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:08
			about who he is and that he exists.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:10
			Right?
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:13
			Why?
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:15
			Because it was a common belief.
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:18
			Right?
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:21
			So why did Allah send the prophets and
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:22
			the messengers?
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:26
			To basically
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:28
			tell the people
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			that this God that you recognize, that you
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:33
			know, this creator that you recognize, that you
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:33
			believe
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			in, he alone deserves to be worshiped.
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:37
			Right?
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			He alone deserves to be worshiped.
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:43
			That's why Allah says about the messengers, what
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:46
			did they say to their people? Surat Ibrahiem.
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:58
			The messenger said to their people, is there
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:59
			any doubt
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:01
			about Allah,
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:03
			the creator of the heavens and earth?
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:07
			Right? It's not something that the people doubted
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:08
			or denied.
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:13
			And so atheism as we find it today
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:14
			is a new phenomenon
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:16
			that never existed in the past.
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:17
			The point here
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			is that everyone recognizes this
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:23
			and so coming to the the second point
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:23
			here
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			to follow-up on the first point,
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:31
			we say that believing in Allah as the
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:32
			sole creator
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:35
			which we said is a common belief.
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:36
			It necessitates
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:39
			believing in Him as
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			the only 1 who deserves to be worshipped
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:45
			And this is something we mentioned previously,
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:47
			when we spoke about which name of Allah?
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:51
			Arrub.
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:52
			Right?
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:54
			Because,
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:56
			Al Khalk,
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:59
			creation is an attribute of Rububiya.
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:04
			Right? We mentioned when we spoke about Allah's
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:04
			name Arrab
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:06
			that it means
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:07
			several things.
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:10
			It means that Allah is the creator
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:11
			and the provider
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			and the 1 who controls
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:14
			his creation, etcetera.
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			So we mentioned then
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:19
			that if you believe
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:22
			in
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:24
			1 Rabb
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:27
			who created everything, who provides for you etcetera,
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:29
			then that belief necessitates
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:31
			logically, it necessitates
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:34
			that you believe that only 1
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:38
			God and that being him deserves to be
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:39
			worshipped.
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:47
			Again, this is something that Allah uses in
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:48
			the Quran to refute.
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:49
			The Mushrikoon
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			who recognize him
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			as being the sole creator,
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:55
			but then they worship others
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:56
			who
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:59
			cannot create,
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:01
			who cannot provide,
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:04
			who cannot give life, who cannot
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			cause death, etcetera.
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:08
			As Allah says,
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:20
			Do they associate partners with Allah?
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:22
			These gods, these idols
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:25
			which cannot create anything
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:27
			and they themselves are created?
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:30
			You know, look at the argument here. Look
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:31
			at how powerful it is.
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:33
			Look at how simple it is.
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:35
			Look at how logical it is.
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:40
			Do these people associate partners with Allah?
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45
			Idols which cannot create anything?
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:49
			Which cannot create anything.
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:52
			And yet they themselves are created.
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:54
			You
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:57
			know, not only
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:00
			can they not create which is an essential
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:01
			attribute
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:03
			of the Lord,
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:04
			the Rab.
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:09
			And not only that, but they themselves are
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:10
			created by
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:11
			that Rab.
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:16
			And this is in Surah Al Arab.
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:19
			Surah Al Arab verse 191.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:23
			And in many other places in the Quran.
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25
			Many places in the Quran, Allah says
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:35
			If you were to ask them who created
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:37
			the heavens and the earth? Who did such
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:39
			and such? Who did such and such? They
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:41
			will say Allah. They will say
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:42
			Allah.
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45
			And so even the Mushrikoon
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			who, you know, the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:48
			was sent to.
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:50
			They recognize
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:51
			that
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:53
			Allah is a sole creator
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:55
			but their problem was
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:58
			they did not believe that He alone deserves
		
00:26:58 --> 00:26:58
			to be worshipped.
		
00:26:59 --> 00:26:59
			However,
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:01
			Allah uses
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:02
			their belief.
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:06
			Right? He uses their belief against them.
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:08
			He uses their belief
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:11
			in Allah as being the creator
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:13
			to prove them wrong,
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:15
			to prove to them
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:16
			that
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:18
			it only logically makes sense
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			that if you believe there's only 1 creator
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:23
			that you worship that 1 creator.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			And so that's what we mean when we
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:25
			say
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:29
			that belief in these names of Allah
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:30
			necessitates
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:32
			belief in Allah's Uluhiya.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:34
			Uluhiya means
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:36
			that Allah alone deserves
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:37
			to be worshipped.
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:43
			Moving on to the next point,
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:48
			Believing in Allah as the creator
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:52
			means that you believe
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:55
			he created everything,
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:58
			and due to a wisdom and a reason
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:59
			and a purpose.
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			And not that his creation
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:05
			is without purpose.
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:11
			Why?
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:15
			Why is it necessary to believe that?
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:44
			Okay.
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:46
			Yeah.
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:55
			Yeah.
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:06
			This is in Surah Al Anbiya.
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			We do not create the heavens and the
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:09
			earth
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:11
			and everything in between
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:14
			for mere play.
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:17
			Okay? But if you want to convince
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:20
			a deist
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:23
			who says I believe there is a God
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:24
			but I don't believe
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:26
			that he created us for a purpose.
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:28
			How are you gonna convince him?
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:34
			How are you gonna convince him that no,
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:37
			believing in the creator
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:38
			necessitates
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:40
			that you believe that he created us
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:43
			and he created this world
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:47
			due to a wisdom, due to a reason,
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:49
			for a purpose.
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:05
			Mhmm. Yeah.
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:12
			He believes in God.
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:16
			Yeah. But he doesn't believe he just believes
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:18
			that God created us and left us without
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:19
			purpose. So we live and die and that's
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:20
			it. Oh,
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:22
			then you have it. Yeah. So basically Yeah.
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:23
			Yeah.
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:25
			So basically
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:27
			yeah.
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:34
			Okay.
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:39
			Mhmm.
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:41
			So the brother is saying that.
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:43
			Alhamdulillah
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:46
			that Allah guides us.
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:48
			Yeah.
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:51
			Yeah.
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56
			As Allah says about the, the people of
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:57
			Firaun,
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:02
			They knew deep down inside,
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:05
			that Musa 'alayhi wa sallam was,
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:06
			the Prophet.
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:34
			Mhmm.
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:35
			Mhmm.
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:41
			Okay.
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:04
			Okay.
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:06
			K. But here you're you're mentioning
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:08
			a specific purpose.
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:10
			We haven't gotten to that yet.
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:13
			We're just trying to convince him that there
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:15
			is a purpose. He's saying there's no
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:17
			purpose. So basically,
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:19
			very simply put,
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:22
			the Creator,
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:23
			right?
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:26
			The creator, the 1 who is
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:27
			identified
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:28
			as
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:29
			this being, who created what we see around
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:30
			us, this
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:34
			who created what we see around us, this
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:35
			massive creation,
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:39
			this complex design that we see around us,
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:41
			whether in the universe or within our own
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:41
			selves.
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:44
			It's a necessary
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:45
			attribute of his
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:47
			that
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:51
			he is intelligent, he is wise.
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:53
			Right?
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:55
			Because someone who is not wise could not
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:57
			have created all of this,
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:58
			that we see around us.
		
00:32:59 --> 00:32:59
			Impossible.
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:01
			Right? Wisdom
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:02
			is
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:05
			a necessary attribute of his.
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:07
			Therefore,
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:10
			you know, once we agree on that, therefore,
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:13
			what does a wise person do?
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:17
			Or what does a wise person What does
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:17
			he not do?
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:21
			He doesn't just make things for no reason.
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:24
			Right? Someone who is wise,
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:26
			whatever he does, he does
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:27
			for a reason,
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:30
			for a wisdom. Right?
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:34
			And so it's not possible to believe
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:38
			that this creator who created us and you
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:40
			believe that, you know, there is a creator,
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:43
			it's not possible for you to believe that
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:46
			he simply created us and especially us human
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:49
			beings who are so different than other living
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:49
			beings
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:50
			around us
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:53
			with the intelligence that we have,
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:54
			with
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:56
			the emotions that we have etcetera.
		
00:33:56 --> 00:33:57
			We're completely different.
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:00
			Is it possible to believe that we were
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:02
			created by this wise
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:03
			supreme being
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:07
			to just live and die like animals?
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:09
			No.
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:10
			Right?
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:15
			It just doesn't add up.
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:16
			Right?
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:18
			So this is the point here that I
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:21
			mentioned here. The creator creates everything with wisdom
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:23
			and
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:25
			and reason.
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:27
			With wisdom
		
00:34:27 --> 00:34:30
			and reason as Allah says in the ayah
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:30
			and elsewhere,
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:32
			Allah says in Surah
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:42
			Do you think that we created you without
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:43
			purpose
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:46
			and then you would not be returned to
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:47
			us?
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:49
			And so Allah has mentioned it in the
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:49
			Quran.
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:51
			Moving on to the next point.
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:56
			The creation
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:59
			that we see around us
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:01
			is the clearest proof
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:04
			for the existence of the creator.
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:05
			The
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:08
			creation around us that we see
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:10
			is the clearest proof
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:11
			for
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:12
			the existence
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:14
			of a creator.
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:15
			And
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:20
			that's why 1 of the
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:22
			proofs
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:23
			that we
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:27
			use to prove the existence of Allah
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:29
			is the origin of creation.
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:33
			And that is that
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:35
			whatever exists,
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:37
			whatever,
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:40
			you know, material thing that exists,
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:42
			it could not have just existed on its
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:43
			own
		
00:35:43 --> 00:35:45
			without having a cause.
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:48
			What is known as the causality argument
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:49
			for
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:51
			the existence of God.
		
00:35:53 --> 00:35:54
			And this is 1 of the most simplest,
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:57
			easiest arguments to prove to an atheist
		
00:35:57 --> 00:35:59
			that Allah exists.
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:00
			Very simple.
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:05
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:06
			in Surat
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:16
			Or were they created by nothing?
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:19
			Or were they the creator
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:21
			the creators of themselves?
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:30
			Or did they create the heavens and the
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:31
			earth?
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:35
			Right. Here Allah gives several possibilities.
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:37
			The first,
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:39
			were they created from nothing?
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:42
			Is it
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:44
			logically possible for something to just pop out
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:46
			of nowhere from nothing?
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:48
			Logically speaking, it's not possible.
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:53
			The second possibility, or were they the creators
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:55
			of themselves?
		
00:36:57 --> 00:36:57
			Meaning,
		
00:36:57 --> 00:36:59
			did we create our own selves?
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:02
			Again, that's not logically possible either.
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:04
			Or
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:05
			did we create
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:07
			the heavens and the earth?
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:10
			And so
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:13
			the answer is no, but rather Allah Subhanahu
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:15
			wa Ta'ala created everything and that's why
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:19
			Sheikh al Islam ibn Taymiyyah he says,
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:20
			how can evidence
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:22
			be required
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:24
			to prove the existence
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:27
			of that which everything
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:29
			in existence is evidence of.
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:34
			You know, he was asking
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:38
			how could you possibly ask for evidence for
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:38
			this?
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:41
			It is 1 of the most obvious of
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:42
			facts.
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:45
			It is what we can call a self
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:46
			evident truth.
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:48
			It doesn't require evidence.
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:52
			He says, how could evidence be asked to
		
00:37:52 --> 00:37:53
			prove
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:56
			the existence of that which everything in existence
		
00:37:56 --> 00:37:58
			is evidence of? Look around you.
		
00:37:58 --> 00:37:59
			Everything that you see
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:02
			proves and points to the existence of
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:03
			a creator.
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:05
			The second,
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:06
			the next
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:09
			point here is similar to this
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:11
			and that is that the perfection
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:15
			of the creation around us is yet another
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:15
			proof
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:19
			of the existence of a perfect wise creator.
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:26
			Now what's the difference between this and point
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:26
			number 4?
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:00
			So the previous point that we mentioned, the
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:02
			creation is the clearest proof for the existence
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:03
			of the creator.
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:06
			Meaning the origin of creation.
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:09
			Okay. Going back to the origin of creation,
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:10
			the beginning of creation.
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:13
			Where did we come from? Where did this
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:14
			world come from?
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:15
			Right?
		
00:39:16 --> 00:39:19
			So we're looking at creation from the perspective
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:20
			of its origin.
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:23
			This now point that we're talking about here,
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:25
			we're looking at creation, but from a different
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:26
			perspective, and that is
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:29
			from how we see it before us, not
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:31
			its origin. How we see it before our
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:32
			eyes.
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:33
			Right?
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:35
			What do we see
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:37
			in this creation?
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:38
			You see
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:41
			marvels.
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:45
			Let's start with your own
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:48
			human being, your own human body
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:52
			with its massive and intricate
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:53
			control systems.
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:55
			You have
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:57
			a nervous system.
		
00:39:58 --> 00:39:59
			Your brain,
		
00:39:59 --> 00:40:01
			look at how it works, how it functions,
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:03
			how it analyzes,
		
00:40:04 --> 00:40:04
			stores information,
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:06
			retrieves information,
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:09
			then distinguishes it and categorizes
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:10
			it.
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:12
			How quickly?
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:16
			They say in a millionth of a second.
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:18
			Right?
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:21
			And not just once or twice, but does
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:22
			this constantly.
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:25
			Then look at your heart,
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:28
			How it pumps blood continuously
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:30
			for
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:33
			70, 80 years if you live that long.
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:34
			Intaking,
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:36
			discharging blood,
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:38
			you know, throughout your body
		
00:40:39 --> 00:40:41
			and maintaining a steady precision.
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:44
			Well that's the amazing part about it. Maintaining
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:46
			a steady precision
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:48
			throughout your life that if that precision was
		
00:40:48 --> 00:40:50
			to be changed, that's it. You'd have a
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:51
			heart attack.
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:54
			Your your heart would not no longer be
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:55
			steady
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:00
			And look at, you know, all your other
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:02
			systems in your body.
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:04
			Now look at
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:06
			the world around you.
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:10
			Look at the oceans, look at the fish,
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:10
			the insects,
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:12
			the birds.
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:15
			Look at what we're discovering today, bacteria
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:19
			and chemical elements
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:21
			that have not even
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:23
			been discovered yet.
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:24
			Right?
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:26
			And all of these
		
00:41:28 --> 00:41:30
			All of these different creations has laws that
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:31
			govern them
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:33
			and they work in total
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:35
			synchronization and harmony.
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:39
			And now let's, you know, go to the
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:40
			cosmos. Look
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:42
			at the universe around us.
		
00:41:44 --> 00:41:44
			Look at
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:45
			earth
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:47
			and how
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:50
			it orbits around the sun and how we
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:51
			are at a perfect
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:54
			distance from the sun.
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:58
			That if we were just slightly,
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:01
			you know, far away from it,
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:04
			it would be too cold to here to
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:06
			to live here. If we were just slightly
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:07
			closer to the sun, it will be too
		
00:42:07 --> 00:42:08
			hard too hot.
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:10
			Right?
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:13
			And then look at how our planet is
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:14
			1 planet,
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:15
			is only 1
		
00:42:16 --> 00:42:18
			in our solar system and how our solar
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:19
			system
		
00:42:19 --> 00:42:21
			is only 1 of
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:23
			so many in the galaxy that we were
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:26
			in and how this 1 galaxy is only
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:27
			1 of
		
00:42:27 --> 00:42:28
			so many.
		
00:42:31 --> 00:42:34
			And then, you know, go further out.
		
00:42:35 --> 00:42:35
			Right?
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:38
			And then think about how all of these,
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:42
			you know, celestial bodies, the planets, the stars,
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:42
			etcetera.
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:45
			Think about how they're not colliding with 1
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:45
			another.
		
00:42:46 --> 00:42:49
			Everyone has every single 1 of it has
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:52
			an orbit that it goes around as Allah
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:53
			subhanahu wa ta'ala says.
		
00:42:56 --> 00:42:58
			Every single 1 of them is
		
00:42:59 --> 00:43:00
			is, you know, orbiting
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:06
			is orbiting in its own orbit.
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:09
			And,
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:13
			you know, all of this shows how
		
00:43:15 --> 00:43:17
			not only were we we created
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:19
			but
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:20
			who created all of this?
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:23
			Someone who is attributed with wisdom
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:25
			and intelligence
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:27
			to
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:28
			the max.
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:33
			Right? And this is also what is known
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:34
			as,
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:38
			what they call today the fine tuning of
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:39
			the universe.
		
00:43:39 --> 00:43:41
			The fine tuning of the universe.
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:44
			This is what non muslims
		
00:43:44 --> 00:43:47
			use to prove the existence of Allah
		
00:43:48 --> 00:43:50
			and we say it's already in our Quran.
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:53
			Throughout the Quran, Allah refers to
		
00:43:53 --> 00:43:55
			his perfect design
		
00:43:56 --> 00:43:57
			in his creation.
		
00:43:58 --> 00:44:00
			And so they say this fine tuning of
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:02
			the universe where it's finely tuned,
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:04
			Where
		
00:44:05 --> 00:44:07
			the numbers, if they were just changed by
		
00:44:07 --> 00:44:08
			a few decimals,
		
00:44:09 --> 00:44:11
			that's it. Life would not be possible.
		
00:44:13 --> 00:44:15
			Right? Life would not be possible and not
		
00:44:15 --> 00:44:17
			just any life but complex life like our
		
00:44:17 --> 00:44:18
			life.
		
00:44:19 --> 00:44:20
			Moving on to the next lesson
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:25
			and this we take from Allah's name Al
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:25
			Musawwir.
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:30
			Believing in Allah as Musawwir means
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:31
			that
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:35
			you are happy, you're satisfied, you're content with
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:35
			Allah
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:38
			creating you how He created you.
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:42
			Not only you but also how He created
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:43
			others around you.
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:45
			You're happy, you're content
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:49
			in how Allah created you because He is
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:50
			the 1 who shaped you.
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:52
			He is the 1 who gave you your
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:53
			shape and your form.
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:55
			Right?
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:57
			So the true believer does not object
		
00:44:57 --> 00:44:59
			and say, why am I why do I
		
00:44:59 --> 00:45:00
			look
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:03
			ugly? Or why do I, you know, why
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:03
			am
		
00:45:04 --> 00:45:06
			I tall? Why am I short? Why, you
		
00:45:06 --> 00:45:09
			know, why have why do I stand out?
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:11
			Or, you know, why don't I look like
		
00:45:11 --> 00:45:12
			so and so?
		
00:45:12 --> 00:45:12
			Right?
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:17
			And the true believer also doesn't look down
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:18
			on others.
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:20
			Right?
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:23
			When you see someone who
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:25
			doesn't have the kind of shape and form
		
00:45:25 --> 00:45:27
			that Allah has given to you and bless
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:28
			you with.
		
00:45:28 --> 00:45:30
			You don't look down on others and say,
		
00:45:30 --> 00:45:31
			you know,
		
00:45:31 --> 00:45:32
			I'm better than them.
		
00:45:33 --> 00:45:34
			Right?
		
00:45:35 --> 00:45:36
			Allah is al Musawwir.
		
00:45:38 --> 00:45:40
			And that was a mistake that Iblis fell
		
00:45:40 --> 00:45:40
			into.
		
00:45:42 --> 00:45:42
			Right?
		
00:45:42 --> 00:45:45
			When Allah When Allah created Adam alaihis salam
		
00:45:46 --> 00:45:48
			And we know that Allah shaped Adam with
		
00:45:48 --> 00:45:49
			his 2 hands.
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:52
			And that was exactly what Allah used to
		
00:45:52 --> 00:45:52
			refute
		
00:45:53 --> 00:45:53
			Iblis.
		
00:45:56 --> 00:45:58
			When he ordered him to prostrate
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:00
			and Iblis said,
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:02
			you know, you created me from fire and
		
00:46:02 --> 00:46:04
			you created him from clay, I'm better than
		
00:46:04 --> 00:46:05
			him.
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:07
			Allah says,
		
00:46:17 --> 00:46:19
			I created with my 2 hands?
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:26
			And so Allah being Al Musawr means
		
00:46:27 --> 00:46:29
			that you are content.
		
00:46:31 --> 00:46:33
			You're content that this is how Allah created
		
00:46:33 --> 00:46:34
			you. And
		
00:46:45 --> 00:46:47
			you should be praising Allah for that.
		
00:46:48 --> 00:46:50
			You should be praising Allah for that instead
		
00:46:50 --> 00:46:51
			of being ungrateful.
		
00:46:53 --> 00:46:54
			That Allah has given you something that He
		
00:46:54 --> 00:46:56
			hasn't given to others.
		
00:47:05 --> 00:47:07
			He created the heavens and the earth,
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:08
			and the earth,
		
00:47:08 --> 00:47:09
			for
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:12
			a purpose with with the truth. And he
		
00:47:12 --> 00:47:14
			shaped you, meaning in the wounds of your
		
00:47:14 --> 00:47:17
			mothers, perfecting your shape and your form.
		
00:47:18 --> 00:47:20
			Finally, the last lesson that we'll mention here,
		
00:47:22 --> 00:47:24
			it is not possible for us or it
		
00:47:24 --> 00:47:26
			is not permissible for us
		
00:47:27 --> 00:47:29
			it is not permissible for us
		
00:47:30 --> 00:47:33
			to rival a lot in creating and shaping
		
00:47:33 --> 00:47:34
			and giving form.
		
00:47:40 --> 00:47:41
			And so the prophet
		
00:47:42 --> 00:47:43
			says in this regard,
		
00:47:51 --> 00:47:52
			in Those who are gonna have 1 of
		
00:47:52 --> 00:47:53
			the most painful
		
00:47:53 --> 00:47:55
			punishments in the akira
		
00:47:56 --> 00:47:56
			are
		
00:47:57 --> 00:47:58
			those who
		
00:48:00 --> 00:48:00
			basically
		
00:48:01 --> 00:48:01
			draw images
		
00:48:02 --> 00:48:02
			or
		
00:48:05 --> 00:48:06
			carve images
		
00:48:10 --> 00:48:12
			and the reason for that is because they
		
00:48:12 --> 00:48:15
			are trying to rival Allah.
		
00:48:16 --> 00:48:17
			And so Allah
		
00:48:18 --> 00:48:18
			is the 1 who created living beings. And
		
00:48:18 --> 00:48:19
			this is something that is
		
00:48:23 --> 00:48:24
			And this is something
		
00:48:26 --> 00:48:27
			unique to Allah.
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:30
			We create things and we spoke about this
		
00:48:30 --> 00:48:30
			earlier.
		
00:48:31 --> 00:48:34
			We do make things and manufacture things but
		
00:48:34 --> 00:48:36
			not things that have life in them.
		
00:48:38 --> 00:48:39
			Living beings,
		
00:48:40 --> 00:48:42
			this is only the creation of Allah.
		
00:48:43 --> 00:48:45
			And so if you try to make something
		
00:48:45 --> 00:48:47
			that resembles a living being,
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:50
			then what you're doing is you're rivaling Allah.
		
00:48:52 --> 00:48:54
			And that's why the punishment is severe.
		
00:48:54 --> 00:48:56
			In the other hadith, the prophet
		
00:48:59 --> 00:48:59
			says
		
00:49:07 --> 00:49:09
			It will be said to those who make
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:10
			these images
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:12
			on the day of judgment,
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:15
			or they will be punished on the day
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:16
			of judgment, and it will be said to
		
00:49:16 --> 00:49:18
			them, give life
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:19
			to what you created.
		
00:49:20 --> 00:49:21
			Give
		
00:49:21 --> 00:49:22
			life to
		
00:49:23 --> 00:49:24
			what you created.
		
00:49:26 --> 00:49:29
			Alright. So these are the 4 names, Al
		
00:49:29 --> 00:49:31
			Khalak, Al Khalaq,
		
00:49:31 --> 00:49:33
			Al Badri, and Al Musawir.
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:35
			We move on to
		
00:49:36 --> 00:49:37
			the next set of names.
		
00:49:39 --> 00:49:41
			And these are in relation
		
00:49:42 --> 00:49:45
			to Allah's attribute of Al Mulk.
		
00:49:48 --> 00:49:49
			And these are 3,
		
00:49:51 --> 00:49:52
			Al Malik,
		
00:49:53 --> 00:49:54
			Al Malik,
		
00:49:55 --> 00:49:56
			and Al Malik.
		
00:49:57 --> 00:49:58
			Al Malik,
		
00:49:58 --> 00:50:00
			Al Malik, and Al Malik.
		
00:50:03 --> 00:50:06
			And so these 3 names, they highlight
		
00:50:07 --> 00:50:07
			Allah's
		
00:50:11 --> 00:50:13
			mulk, which is his dominion,
		
00:50:13 --> 00:50:14
			his kingdom,
		
00:50:15 --> 00:50:16
			his power,
		
00:50:18 --> 00:50:22
			and complete control over his creation. His complete
		
00:50:22 --> 00:50:22
			control
		
00:50:23 --> 00:50:24
			over
		
00:50:25 --> 00:50:26
			His creation.
		
00:50:27 --> 00:50:29
			So we notice all 3 names
		
00:50:33 --> 00:50:36
			malik, al malik, and malik, they're all taken
		
00:50:36 --> 00:50:37
			from the same root word
		
00:50:38 --> 00:50:39
			of almulk.
		
00:50:42 --> 00:50:42
			So,
		
00:50:44 --> 00:50:47
			you know, Al Mulk refers to the dominion,
		
00:50:47 --> 00:50:48
			the universe.
		
00:50:50 --> 00:50:50
			And
		
00:50:52 --> 00:50:54
			Al Mulk is 1 of
		
00:50:55 --> 00:50:57
			the attributes of Allah
		
00:50:57 --> 00:50:59
			that come under his Again,
		
00:50:59 --> 00:51:01
			that come under his rububiyah.
		
00:51:02 --> 00:51:04
			So just like Al Khalk
		
00:51:04 --> 00:51:06
			falls under the rububiyah of Allah,
		
00:51:07 --> 00:51:08
			the same thing with
		
00:51:09 --> 00:51:10
			Al Mulk.
		
00:51:11 --> 00:51:12
			And
		
00:51:12 --> 00:51:14
			Allah has referred
		
00:51:15 --> 00:51:17
			to himself with this attribute throughout the Qur'a.
		
00:51:19 --> 00:51:21
			In in the form of his names, these
		
00:51:21 --> 00:51:23
			3 names, as well as in the 4
		
00:51:23 --> 00:51:24
			in the verb form,
		
00:51:26 --> 00:51:27
			right, in the verb form,
		
00:51:30 --> 00:51:31
			as well as
		
00:51:32 --> 00:51:35
			in the noun form of Al Mulk. Lahu
		
00:51:35 --> 00:51:38
			Mulkus Sanahuat Yawal comes in many different places
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:39
			in the Quran.
		
00:51:39 --> 00:51:42
			To him belongs the Mulk, the dominion
		
00:51:43 --> 00:51:44
			of the heavens and the earth.
		
00:51:47 --> 00:51:49
			And this is 1 of the greatest of
		
00:51:49 --> 00:51:50
			Allah's attributes
		
00:51:51 --> 00:51:51
			as it
		
00:51:52 --> 00:51:53
			combines several,
		
00:51:54 --> 00:51:55
			you know,
		
00:51:56 --> 00:51:58
			several qualities of Allah such as
		
00:51:58 --> 00:51:59
			His power,
		
00:52:00 --> 00:52:01
			His ability,
		
00:52:02 --> 00:52:04
			his dominion, his his glory,
		
00:52:05 --> 00:52:06
			his control,
		
00:52:08 --> 00:52:10
			his pride and so on and so forth.
		
00:52:11 --> 00:52:12
			Okay. So
		
00:52:14 --> 00:52:16
			these names, where have they been mentioned in
		
00:52:16 --> 00:52:17
			the Quran?
		
00:52:19 --> 00:52:19
			First of all,
		
00:52:21 --> 00:52:23
			has been mentioned 5 times in the Quran.
		
00:52:32 --> 00:52:35
			And it would be 6 if you consider
		
00:52:36 --> 00:52:36
			the other
		
00:52:38 --> 00:52:39
			of Surah Al Fatiha
		
00:52:41 --> 00:52:42
			and that is
		
00:52:43 --> 00:52:44
			instead of Maliki Umidi.
		
00:52:46 --> 00:52:48
			But besides that it's been mentioned 5 times.
		
00:52:49 --> 00:52:52
			So we have in Surah Al Hashr that
		
00:52:52 --> 00:52:53
			we mentioned earlier.
		
00:52:54 --> 00:52:55
			Those
		
00:52:55 --> 00:52:57
			17 odd names that Allah mentions at the
		
00:52:57 --> 00:53:00
			end of Surah Al Hashr. Allah begins with
		
00:53:08 --> 00:53:08
			Also
		
00:53:08 --> 00:53:09
			in Surat
		
00:53:14 --> 00:53:15
			Allah says
		
00:53:18 --> 00:53:19
			Allah says
		
00:53:20 --> 00:53:22
			exalted is Allah
		
00:53:22 --> 00:53:24
			the true Malik
		
00:53:25 --> 00:53:27
			and this is repeated. The same
		
00:53:28 --> 00:53:30
			verse is repeated in surah
		
00:53:32 --> 00:53:33
			Surah Taha. Fata'aalAllahuul
		
00:53:34 --> 00:53:34
			Malikul haqq.
		
00:53:35 --> 00:53:37
			So it comes in Surah Al Mu'minoon as
		
00:53:37 --> 00:53:38
			well as Surah Taha.
		
00:53:41 --> 00:53:42
			And
		
00:53:43 --> 00:53:44
			we also have
		
00:53:49 --> 00:53:50
			Surat Anas
		
00:53:51 --> 00:53:52
			Surat Anas Malikinas.
		
00:53:53 --> 00:53:54
			Right?
		
00:54:04 --> 00:54:05
			Alright? As for Al Malik,
		
00:54:07 --> 00:54:09
			it has been mentioned only twice.
		
00:54:11 --> 00:54:12
			So the first is And
		
00:54:18 --> 00:54:19
			where else has it been mentioned?
		
00:54:22 --> 00:54:23
			Ali Imran.
		
00:54:43 --> 00:54:44
			As for
		
00:54:44 --> 00:54:45
			Al Malik,
		
00:54:46 --> 00:54:48
			it's only been mentioned once in the Quran.
		
00:54:49 --> 00:54:49
			Al Malik
		
00:54:50 --> 00:54:52
			has only been mentioned once in the Quran.
		
00:54:52 --> 00:54:53
			Where is that?
		
00:54:54 --> 00:54:56
			Surat Al Qamar.
		
00:54:57 --> 00:54:58
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,
		
00:55:08 --> 00:55:10
			Indeed the righteous will be
		
00:55:10 --> 00:55:11
			amid gardens
		
00:55:12 --> 00:55:13
			and rivers.
		
00:55:14 --> 00:55:15
			At the seat of honor,
		
00:55:16 --> 00:55:17
			in the presence of,
		
00:55:18 --> 00:55:19
			and Al Malik,
		
00:55:19 --> 00:55:20
			the most
		
00:55:21 --> 00:55:23
			powerful sovereign. Muqtadir,
		
00:55:23 --> 00:55:24
			powerful.
		
00:55:24 --> 00:55:25
			Al Malik,
		
00:55:26 --> 00:55:26
			the sovereign.
		
00:55:27 --> 00:55:28
			And
		
00:55:29 --> 00:55:30
			it's mentioned that,
		
00:55:31 --> 00:55:33
			you know, Sheikh Alassam Ibn Taymiyyah,
		
00:55:34 --> 00:55:36
			we know that he was imprisoned
		
00:55:36 --> 00:55:38
			several times in his life
		
00:55:39 --> 00:55:39
			and
		
00:55:40 --> 00:55:42
			towards the end of his life, he actually
		
00:55:42 --> 00:55:43
			died in prison.
		
00:55:44 --> 00:55:46
			He actually died in prison
		
00:55:47 --> 00:55:48
			and
		
00:55:50 --> 00:55:51
			he was reading the Quran
		
00:55:51 --> 00:55:53
			and these were the last ayat that he
		
00:55:53 --> 00:55:54
			had read
		
00:55:55 --> 00:55:56
			and then he passed
		
00:55:58 --> 00:55:59
			away.
		
00:56:00 --> 00:56:02
			The believers, the
		
00:56:03 --> 00:56:05
			will be amid gardens and rivers.
		
00:56:09 --> 00:56:11
			They will be at the seat of honor
		
00:56:11 --> 00:56:13
			in the presence of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:56:15 --> 00:56:18
			the 1 who is attributed with these attributes
		
00:56:18 --> 00:56:19
			of Malik and Muqtadir.
		
00:56:21 --> 00:56:21
			Alright.
		
00:56:22 --> 00:56:24
			So what is the difference between
		
00:56:25 --> 00:56:26
			these names?
		
00:56:26 --> 00:56:28
			What is the difference between these names? As
		
00:56:28 --> 00:56:29
			we mentioned previously,
		
00:56:32 --> 00:56:33
			if Allah mentions
		
00:56:33 --> 00:56:35
			different names of His that go back to
		
00:56:35 --> 00:56:36
			the same
		
00:56:37 --> 00:56:37
			meaning,
		
00:56:38 --> 00:56:40
			there has to be a difference between them.
		
00:56:41 --> 00:56:43
			It cannot be that each is synonymous in
		
00:56:43 --> 00:56:44
			every way.
		
00:56:46 --> 00:56:49
			In general, they refer to Allah's dominion
		
00:56:50 --> 00:56:52
			and His you know, Him being
		
00:56:53 --> 00:56:55
			Him owning everything etc.
		
00:56:55 --> 00:56:57
			But there are subtle differences.
		
00:56:57 --> 00:56:58
			So
		
00:56:59 --> 00:57:00
			the difference between
		
00:57:00 --> 00:57:01
			Malik and Malik
		
00:57:03 --> 00:57:05
			the difference between Malik and Malik
		
00:57:07 --> 00:57:09
			is a difference that we also use in
		
00:57:09 --> 00:57:11
			the Arabic language in general.
		
00:57:12 --> 00:57:13
			So
		
00:57:13 --> 00:57:15
			although they both come from the same root
		
00:57:15 --> 00:57:17
			word, there is a difference.
		
00:57:18 --> 00:57:20
			Malik, you say
		
00:57:20 --> 00:57:22
			to refer to the owner of something.
		
00:57:24 --> 00:57:25
			K?
		
00:57:26 --> 00:57:27
			So you say,
		
00:57:27 --> 00:57:29
			the owner of the house,
		
00:57:29 --> 00:57:31
			Malik Adar or Malik Albayt
		
00:57:32 --> 00:57:33
			or Malik Asayara,
		
00:57:34 --> 00:57:35
			the owner of the car.
		
00:57:37 --> 00:57:39
			But you don't say that with respect to
		
00:57:39 --> 00:57:41
			Melek. You don't use Melek for that.
		
00:57:41 --> 00:57:44
			Melek refers to a king or
		
00:57:45 --> 00:57:46
			a sovereign
		
00:57:47 --> 00:57:49
			who has a kingdom under his control.
		
00:57:52 --> 00:57:54
			So his ownership is more than just
		
00:57:56 --> 00:57:57
			The ownership of,
		
00:57:57 --> 00:57:59
			you know, you owning your car or your
		
00:57:59 --> 00:58:02
			house. Right? Your ownership is limited
		
00:58:02 --> 00:58:04
			to only a few things.
		
00:58:04 --> 00:58:07
			The Malik, his ownership is wider.
		
00:58:08 --> 00:58:09
			As for Al Malik,
		
00:58:10 --> 00:58:12
			then they say it covers both meanings.
		
00:58:14 --> 00:58:17
			Al Malik covers both both meanings here.
		
00:58:22 --> 00:58:23
			So Allah being
		
00:58:24 --> 00:58:25
			Al Malik,
		
00:58:26 --> 00:58:28
			Al Malik and Al Malik, basically
		
00:58:29 --> 00:58:31
			we can summarize it to say it
		
00:58:32 --> 00:58:33
			means 1 of 2 things.
		
00:58:34 --> 00:58:35
			It means 1 of 2 things.
		
00:58:37 --> 00:58:38
			The first is
		
00:58:40 --> 00:58:42
			that to Him alone belongs
		
00:58:42 --> 00:58:43
			the mulk,
		
00:58:44 --> 00:58:46
			the dominion, the power and
		
00:58:46 --> 00:58:49
			control over Allah's creation. It belongs to him
		
00:58:49 --> 00:58:50
			alone.
		
00:58:51 --> 00:58:53
			So everything belongs to Allah
		
00:58:54 --> 00:58:56
			and everything is in need of Allah.
		
00:58:56 --> 00:58:58
			Nothing is outside of his
		
00:58:59 --> 00:59:00
			dominion, ownership,
		
00:59:01 --> 00:59:02
			and authority.
		
00:59:08 --> 00:59:10
			And that's why in the Quran,
		
00:59:11 --> 00:59:13
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to encourage us to
		
00:59:13 --> 00:59:14
			give sadaqah.
		
00:59:16 --> 00:59:18
			He says, Give from that which We have
		
00:59:18 --> 00:59:20
			put in your hands.
		
00:59:20 --> 00:59:21
			That
		
00:59:22 --> 00:59:24
			which We have given to you. Don't think
		
00:59:24 --> 00:59:26
			that this wealth that you own, that you
		
00:59:26 --> 00:59:27
			possess,
		
00:59:28 --> 00:59:28
			that you
		
00:59:29 --> 00:59:31
			own it and possess it and you
		
00:59:32 --> 00:59:34
			know, you are the sole owner of it.
		
00:59:34 --> 00:59:35
			No.
		
00:59:36 --> 00:59:37
			Allah owns it
		
00:59:38 --> 00:59:40
			and He put it in your hands.
		
00:59:40 --> 00:59:42
			So now give what Allah has given to
		
00:59:42 --> 00:59:45
			you. Give from what Allah has given to
		
00:59:45 --> 00:59:46
			you. It doesn't belong to you.
		
00:59:47 --> 00:59:48
			It belongs to Allah.
		
00:59:49 --> 00:59:50
			So spend of it
		
00:59:50 --> 00:59:51
			in,
		
00:59:51 --> 00:59:53
			you know, in how Allah is commanding you
		
00:59:53 --> 00:59:54
			to spend it.
		
00:59:55 --> 00:59:56
			The second meaning
		
00:59:57 --> 00:59:57
			is
		
00:59:58 --> 01:00:00
			that Allah has the supreme
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:03
			rule and sovereignty over his creation.
		
01:00:05 --> 01:00:06
			So only
		
01:00:06 --> 01:00:09
			Allah's commands and laws are executed,
		
01:00:10 --> 01:00:12
			And only he has the right to, like,
		
01:00:12 --> 01:00:13
			legislate.
		
01:00:16 --> 01:00:18
			Alright? Only Allah has that right.
		
01:00:20 --> 01:00:23
			And here we can say that
		
01:00:24 --> 01:00:25
			Allah legislates,
		
01:00:25 --> 01:00:26
			when Allah legislates or,
		
01:00:27 --> 01:00:28
			you know,
		
01:00:28 --> 01:00:31
			he he gives commands. The scholars say there
		
01:00:31 --> 01:00:32
			are 3 kinds.
		
01:00:32 --> 01:00:32
			So
		
01:00:33 --> 01:00:35
			we have Ekam, Kadariya,
		
01:00:38 --> 01:00:38
			Those
		
01:00:41 --> 01:00:42
			rulings which are
		
01:00:42 --> 01:00:45
			based on the Qadr of Allah. So Allah
		
01:00:45 --> 01:00:47
			decreed everything. Right?
		
01:00:49 --> 01:00:51
			Everything must happen
		
01:00:51 --> 01:00:52
			how Allah has decreed.
		
01:00:53 --> 01:00:55
			So this is Allah's
		
01:00:55 --> 01:00:58
			As if, you know, Allah's law
		
01:00:59 --> 01:01:00
			being executed.
		
01:01:01 --> 01:01:01
			Right?
		
01:01:03 --> 01:01:05
			The second is Akam Sharaiyah.
		
01:01:08 --> 01:01:09
			Allah has legislated
		
01:01:10 --> 01:01:11
			certain rulings.
		
01:01:12 --> 01:01:14
			Pray 5 times a day.
		
01:01:16 --> 01:01:17
			Do this,
		
01:01:18 --> 01:01:19
			don't do this, etcetera.
		
01:01:20 --> 01:01:22
			These are known as akham sharayyah.
		
01:01:22 --> 01:01:24
			Who has the right to legislate them? Only
		
01:01:24 --> 01:01:24
			Allah.
		
01:01:29 --> 01:01:31
			And what also falls under that are
		
01:01:33 --> 01:01:33
			the
		
01:01:34 --> 01:01:36
			penal code in Islam in the Sharia
		
01:01:37 --> 01:01:38
			which is
		
01:01:38 --> 01:01:39
			the Hudood,
		
01:01:41 --> 01:01:43
			the punishments for crimes.
		
01:01:44 --> 01:01:47
			Again, who has the sole right to legislate
		
01:01:47 --> 01:01:48
			that? Only Allah.
		
01:01:49 --> 01:01:49
			So
		
01:01:50 --> 01:01:51
			what is the punishment for for stealing? To
		
01:01:51 --> 01:01:51
			cut off the hand. What is the punishment
		
01:01:51 --> 01:01:52
			for, murder?
		
01:01:52 --> 01:01:53
			To cut off the
		
01:01:54 --> 01:01:56
			hand. What is the punishment for
		
01:01:56 --> 01:01:57
			murder?
		
01:01:58 --> 01:02:00
			The capital punishment, etcetera.
		
01:02:01 --> 01:02:03
			Right? Who has the right to legislate these
		
01:02:03 --> 01:02:05
			laws? Allah and Allah alone.
		
01:02:05 --> 01:02:08
			And thirdly, Al aqamal jazaiyah
		
01:02:09 --> 01:02:10
			are those
		
01:02:10 --> 01:02:11
			regarding
		
01:02:11 --> 01:02:13
			the akhirah, the jaza,
		
01:02:14 --> 01:02:14
			the
		
01:02:15 --> 01:02:16
			compensation in the akhirah.
		
01:02:20 --> 01:02:22
			What reward are you gonna get?
		
01:02:23 --> 01:02:24
			That is
		
01:02:24 --> 01:02:26
			Allah's right to give you what He will
		
01:02:26 --> 01:02:28
			give you in the akhirah. Whether it be
		
01:02:28 --> 01:02:29
			reward or punishment.
		
01:02:31 --> 01:02:31
			Alright?
		
01:02:32 --> 01:02:32
			So,
		
01:02:33 --> 01:02:33
			basically,
		
01:02:34 --> 01:02:34
			Allah being
		
01:02:35 --> 01:02:38
			Al Malik, Al Malik, Al Malik, it means
		
01:02:38 --> 01:02:39
			these 2 things in general.
		
01:02:40 --> 01:02:42
			Allah is the sole owner
		
01:02:43 --> 01:02:44
			and everything belongs to Him.
		
01:02:46 --> 01:02:47
			And he controls
		
01:02:48 --> 01:02:49
			the entire creation.
		
01:02:51 --> 01:02:53
			And that includes us human beings
		
01:02:54 --> 01:02:56
			and what happens to us, etcetera, and Allah
		
01:02:56 --> 01:02:57
			subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
01:02:58 --> 01:03:00
			He has sovereignty over his creation,
		
01:03:00 --> 01:03:03
			and no 1 should rival Allah subhanahu wa
		
01:03:03 --> 01:03:04
			ta'ala in that.
		
01:03:07 --> 01:03:09
			Alright. We move on to the lessons that
		
01:03:09 --> 01:03:10
			we learned from these
		
01:03:10 --> 01:03:11
			3 names.
		
01:03:13 --> 01:03:14
			First of
		
01:03:17 --> 01:03:19
			all, the first lesson is similar to
		
01:03:21 --> 01:03:22
			what we mentioned regarding
		
01:03:22 --> 01:03:24
			Allah being Al Khaliq.
		
01:03:32 --> 01:03:33
			Yeah.
		
01:03:34 --> 01:03:35
			Mhmm.
		
01:03:40 --> 01:03:41
			But it could be that,
		
01:03:43 --> 01:03:45
			the question was regarding,
		
01:03:46 --> 01:03:48
			in Surat al Fatih, we have a different
		
01:03:50 --> 01:03:52
			Does that happen in the other ayat?
		
01:03:59 --> 01:04:01
			We mentioned that
		
01:04:01 --> 01:04:02
			Malik,
		
01:04:03 --> 01:04:05
			besides this has only been mentioned 1 in
		
01:04:05 --> 01:04:07
			1 other place and that is Surah Al
		
01:04:07 --> 01:04:07
			Imran.
		
01:04:09 --> 01:04:09
			So
		
01:04:09 --> 01:04:11
			we should go back to see
		
01:04:13 --> 01:04:14
			what the other
		
01:04:14 --> 01:04:16
			would be. Allah knows best.
		
01:04:19 --> 01:04:20
			Alright. So
		
01:04:21 --> 01:04:23
			the first lesson that we have is similar
		
01:04:23 --> 01:04:24
			to
		
01:04:26 --> 01:04:27
			the previous names
		
01:04:28 --> 01:04:30
			with respect to Allah being the Creator.
		
01:04:31 --> 01:04:33
			Believing in Allah as
		
01:04:35 --> 01:04:35
			the
		
01:04:35 --> 01:04:36
			malik
		
01:04:36 --> 01:04:37
			or malik,
		
01:04:38 --> 01:04:40
			as the King, the ruler,
		
01:04:40 --> 01:04:41
			the sovereign,
		
01:04:42 --> 01:04:44
			the owner of everything necessitates
		
01:04:45 --> 01:04:47
			believing in Him as the only 1 who
		
01:04:47 --> 01:04:51
			deserves to be worshipped. Believing in his Uluhiya.
		
01:04:53 --> 01:04:55
			This is why throughout the Quran
		
01:04:56 --> 01:04:58
			Allah uses this attribute of his to disprove
		
01:04:58 --> 01:05:01
			the worship of others who do not possess
		
01:05:01 --> 01:05:01
			anything.
		
01:05:03 --> 01:05:05
			Right? Who do not possess anything. Just like
		
01:05:05 --> 01:05:07
			we mentioned regarding Al Khalq.
		
01:05:08 --> 01:05:10
			Allah uses that particular attribute
		
01:05:12 --> 01:05:13
			to disprove
		
01:05:14 --> 01:05:15
			that these idols
		
01:05:17 --> 01:05:18
			deserve to be worshipped.
		
01:05:19 --> 01:05:21
			Right? The same thing with Al Mulk.
		
01:05:22 --> 01:05:23
			The same thing with Al Mulk. Allah
		
01:05:24 --> 01:05:24
			says,
		
01:05:26 --> 01:05:27
			in Surah Satur,
		
01:05:32 --> 01:05:34
			Fatir. That is Allah your Lord.
		
01:05:34 --> 01:05:37
			Al Mulk belongs to Him. All authority belongs
		
01:05:37 --> 01:05:38
			to Him. Then what does Allah
		
01:05:41 --> 01:05:42
			say?
		
01:05:44 --> 01:05:46
			And those who you
		
01:05:46 --> 01:05:48
			call upon besides Him
		
01:05:49 --> 01:05:51
			do not own, do not possess
		
01:05:52 --> 01:05:53
			even something as small
		
01:05:54 --> 01:05:56
			as Al Qutmeer. What is Qutmeer?
		
01:05:58 --> 01:05:58
			Qutmir
		
01:05:59 --> 01:05:59
			is
		
01:06:00 --> 01:06:01
			not just a date,
		
01:06:02 --> 01:06:03
			but
		
01:06:05 --> 01:06:05
			the date
		
01:06:07 --> 01:06:09
			has a seed, not just a seed.
		
01:06:10 --> 01:06:12
			They don't even possess as much as
		
01:06:12 --> 01:06:13
			you know what,
		
01:06:14 --> 01:06:15
			is?
		
01:06:15 --> 01:06:16
			It is that
		
01:06:17 --> 01:06:18
			very thin
		
01:06:20 --> 01:06:22
			cover of the date seal.
		
01:06:24 --> 01:06:26
			It's like the skin of the date seed.
		
01:06:27 --> 01:06:28
			You can peel it off. It's like a
		
01:06:28 --> 01:06:29
			very small
		
01:06:30 --> 01:06:31
			thin layer.
		
01:06:33 --> 01:06:36
			Allah says here, those you call upon besides
		
01:06:36 --> 01:06:39
			him do not even possess something as small
		
01:06:39 --> 01:06:39
			as that.
		
01:06:41 --> 01:06:42
			Right? Why does Allah say
		
01:06:43 --> 01:06:43
			this?
		
01:06:45 --> 01:06:47
			To say that if you're gonna worship someone,
		
01:06:47 --> 01:06:49
			worship someone who has mulk.
		
01:06:50 --> 01:06:51
			Someone who has
		
01:06:51 --> 01:06:54
			possession of something, who owns something, who has
		
01:06:54 --> 01:06:54
			a dominion.
		
01:06:55 --> 01:06:57
			Right? Instead of these idols who don't even
		
01:06:57 --> 01:06:58
			own that much.
		
01:07:00 --> 01:07:03
			And Allah says, elsewhere in Surat Al Ma'idah,
		
01:07:10 --> 01:07:12
			walanafi'a. Say, how can you worship besides Allah
		
01:07:12 --> 01:07:13
			those who neither have
		
01:07:14 --> 01:07:17
			the power to harm you or benefit you?
		
01:07:17 --> 01:07:18
			They don't possess
		
01:07:19 --> 01:07:20
			that ability
		
01:07:20 --> 01:07:23
			to harm you or to benefit you. So
		
01:07:23 --> 01:07:24
			how can you worship them? They don't have
		
01:07:24 --> 01:07:26
			that power. They don't have
		
01:07:26 --> 01:07:28
			that in their ability.
		
01:07:29 --> 01:07:30
			And so
		
01:07:31 --> 01:07:33
			this is how Allah disproves,
		
01:07:34 --> 01:07:37
			the worship of of others besides him.
		
01:07:38 --> 01:07:40
			The second lesson that we learn
		
01:07:44 --> 01:07:47
			is that to Allah belongs the dominion and
		
01:07:47 --> 01:07:50
			the sovereignty of his entire creation. Right?
		
01:07:51 --> 01:07:51
			His entire
		
01:07:52 --> 01:07:52
			universe.
		
01:07:54 --> 01:07:54
			As such,
		
01:07:57 --> 01:07:57
			whatever
		
01:07:58 --> 01:07:59
			sovereignty
		
01:08:00 --> 01:08:00
			or, you
		
01:08:02 --> 01:08:03
			know,
		
01:08:04 --> 01:08:06
			kingship exists
		
01:08:06 --> 01:08:08
			in the hands of human beings
		
01:08:09 --> 01:08:11
			like kings and rulers.
		
01:08:13 --> 01:08:14
			None of it is
		
01:08:14 --> 01:08:15
			real kingdom.
		
01:08:16 --> 01:08:18
			None of it is real
		
01:08:19 --> 01:08:20
			dominion and sovereignty.
		
01:08:21 --> 01:08:22
			None of it is real milk.
		
01:08:23 --> 01:08:24
			Why?
		
01:08:26 --> 01:08:26
			Why?
		
01:08:35 --> 01:08:37
			Okay. Because Allah is the 1 who gives
		
01:08:37 --> 01:08:38
			that mulk
		
01:08:39 --> 01:08:40
			and He takes it away from whomever He
		
01:08:40 --> 01:08:41
			wills.
		
01:08:42 --> 01:08:43
			But I'm asking why is
		
01:08:44 --> 01:08:46
			it not real mulk?
		
01:08:58 --> 01:08:58
			Mhmm.
		
01:09:00 --> 01:09:01
			So basically,
		
01:09:01 --> 01:09:02
			it's incomplete.
		
01:09:04 --> 01:09:06
			Their that they have
		
01:09:06 --> 01:09:07
			is
		
01:09:07 --> 01:09:08
			incomplete.
		
01:09:08 --> 01:09:09
			Not encompassing
		
01:09:10 --> 01:09:11
			everything in the creation.
		
01:09:12 --> 01:09:12
			Right?
		
01:09:14 --> 01:09:16
			In fact, there has never been
		
01:09:17 --> 01:09:19
			a time when there was a king of
		
01:09:19 --> 01:09:19
			the world.
		
01:09:21 --> 01:09:21
			Right?
		
01:09:22 --> 01:09:24
			Yes, there were kings who
		
01:09:24 --> 01:09:25
			had vast empires.
		
01:09:26 --> 01:09:28
			Their empires stretched,
		
01:09:28 --> 01:09:29
			you know,
		
01:09:31 --> 01:09:32
			very far and wide.
		
01:09:33 --> 01:09:33
			However,
		
01:09:34 --> 01:09:36
			while they were alive, there were other kings
		
01:09:37 --> 01:09:39
			who had control of other parts of the
		
01:09:39 --> 01:09:40
			world.
		
01:09:41 --> 01:09:44
			And so whoever has mulk, it is incomplete.
		
01:09:46 --> 01:09:47
			Whether we look at it from the angle
		
01:09:47 --> 01:09:48
			of
		
01:09:48 --> 01:09:49
			land or time.
		
01:09:50 --> 01:09:52
			As you mentioned, once they die, that's it.
		
01:09:55 --> 01:09:55
			Whereas
		
01:09:55 --> 01:09:57
			the mulk of Allah
		
01:09:58 --> 01:10:00
			is complete and it is the real dominion
		
01:10:01 --> 01:10:03
			that will never go away.
		
01:10:17 --> 01:10:18
			Yeah, exactly.
		
01:10:21 --> 01:10:23
			Even his own life, he does not own.
		
01:10:23 --> 01:10:25
			He does not possess.
		
01:10:27 --> 01:10:28
			It's in the possession of Allah
		
01:10:31 --> 01:10:33
			And that's why Allah says when He says
		
01:10:33 --> 01:10:34
			Fata'aal Allah
		
01:10:35 --> 01:10:37
			Al Malikul Haqq.
		
01:10:38 --> 01:10:39
			Right? Allah is superior.
		
01:10:40 --> 01:10:42
			There's no 1 more superior to Him
		
01:10:43 --> 01:10:44
			and that's why
		
01:10:46 --> 01:10:46
			the
		
01:10:48 --> 01:10:49
			Abbasi Khalifa,
		
01:10:52 --> 01:10:52
			Harun
		
01:10:53 --> 01:10:54
			ibn Al Maqasan.
		
01:10:57 --> 01:10:59
			He was on his deathbed and he put
		
01:10:59 --> 01:11:00
			his cheek on the ground
		
01:11:02 --> 01:11:03
			and he
		
01:11:04 --> 01:11:04
			said,
		
01:11:05 --> 01:11:06
			O
		
01:11:06 --> 01:11:09
			Allah the 1 whose kingdom will never vanish,
		
01:11:10 --> 01:11:12
			have mercy upon the 1 whose kingdom
		
01:11:13 --> 01:11:14
			is gone
		
01:11:15 --> 01:11:17
			whose kingdom is gone. Basically he was dying.
		
01:11:19 --> 01:11:20
			And so
		
01:11:21 --> 01:11:22
			the point here is
		
01:11:22 --> 01:11:24
			that, you know, the true
		
01:11:25 --> 01:11:26
			kingdom and dominion
		
01:11:26 --> 01:11:28
			is that of Allah subhanahu wa
		
01:11:30 --> 01:11:33
			ta'ala. Alright. The next point that we'll mention,
		
01:11:34 --> 01:11:35
			is
		
01:11:40 --> 01:11:41
			we notice
		
01:11:42 --> 01:11:43
			in the Quran
		
01:11:44 --> 01:11:47
			that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentions not only
		
01:11:47 --> 01:11:47
			that he
		
01:11:48 --> 01:11:50
			is the king and the ruler of the
		
01:11:50 --> 01:11:51
			dunya
		
01:11:51 --> 01:11:54
			but specifically the akhir. The question is,
		
01:11:55 --> 01:11:56
			why does Allah mention that?
		
01:11:59 --> 01:12:02
			Why does Allah mention specifically that he is
		
01:12:03 --> 01:12:04
			the,
		
01:12:06 --> 01:12:08
			as he says in in in, Surat Al
		
01:12:08 --> 01:12:08
			Fatiha,
		
01:12:10 --> 01:12:11
			he is
		
01:12:11 --> 01:12:14
			the Malik of Yawmidin, the day of judgment.
		
01:12:15 --> 01:12:18
			Why does he mention it? Specifically, the Akhir.
		
01:12:18 --> 01:12:18
			Why?
		
01:13:04 --> 01:13:05
			Exactly.
		
01:13:05 --> 01:13:07
			What all you guys said is is is
		
01:13:07 --> 01:13:07
			right.
		
01:13:08 --> 01:13:09
			Because basically
		
01:13:10 --> 01:13:12
			the reality of Allah's control
		
01:13:13 --> 01:13:15
			and you know over his dominion,
		
01:13:16 --> 01:13:17
			it will be seen on that day,
		
01:13:18 --> 01:13:18
			Right?
		
01:13:19 --> 01:13:21
			When all of the creation is brought before
		
01:13:21 --> 01:13:24
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to stand before him.
		
01:13:25 --> 01:13:25
			Everyone.
		
01:13:26 --> 01:13:27
			Right?
		
01:13:27 --> 01:13:28
			And not a single
		
01:13:29 --> 01:13:31
			soul on that day will have any authority.
		
01:13:33 --> 01:13:35
			No 1 will have any authority.
		
01:13:37 --> 01:13:39
			In this world, there are kings.
		
01:13:40 --> 01:13:42
			Right? There are tyrants.
		
01:13:44 --> 01:13:46
			Their command is obeyed.
		
01:13:48 --> 01:13:50
			Right? To the point where you had someone
		
01:13:50 --> 01:13:50
			like Nimrut
		
01:13:53 --> 01:13:53
			who
		
01:13:54 --> 01:13:56
			said no, you know, I have complete control.
		
01:13:57 --> 01:13:58
			So
		
01:13:58 --> 01:14:01
			Allah mentioned the debate that Ibrahim had with
		
01:14:01 --> 01:14:01
			him.
		
01:14:04 --> 01:14:05
			Right?
		
01:14:06 --> 01:14:07
			And you had the likes of Firaun.
		
01:14:10 --> 01:14:11
			On that day,
		
01:14:13 --> 01:14:15
			no 1 will have any authority, not even
		
01:14:16 --> 01:14:17
			the likes of these individuals.
		
01:14:22 --> 01:14:22
			And then,
		
01:14:23 --> 01:14:25
			you know, forget about that extreme,
		
01:14:26 --> 01:14:27
			come down to the level of,
		
01:14:28 --> 01:14:28
			the common
		
01:14:29 --> 01:14:30
			the common person.
		
01:14:32 --> 01:14:34
			We all have some kind of authority.
		
01:14:35 --> 01:14:35
			Right?
		
01:14:38 --> 01:14:40
			You as a man in the home have
		
01:14:40 --> 01:14:41
			authority over
		
01:14:42 --> 01:14:43
			over your household.
		
01:14:45 --> 01:14:47
			The mother has authority over her children.
		
01:14:49 --> 01:14:51
			Each of us, we possess things. We own
		
01:14:51 --> 01:14:52
			things.
		
01:14:52 --> 01:14:54
			Again, all of that will vanish on the
		
01:14:54 --> 01:14:55
			day of judgement.
		
01:14:56 --> 01:14:57
			No 1 will have even
		
01:14:58 --> 01:15:00
			even a small authority on that day.
		
01:15:01 --> 01:15:03
			Right? You won't be able to benefit anyone
		
01:15:03 --> 01:15:05
			on that day. Why? Because you won't possess
		
01:15:05 --> 01:15:07
			any authority to do so.
		
01:15:07 --> 01:15:09
			And so on that day,
		
01:15:11 --> 01:15:12
			the authority
		
01:15:13 --> 01:15:14
			will be seen
		
01:15:15 --> 01:15:17
			belonging to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And that's
		
01:15:17 --> 01:15:18
			why Allah says
		
01:15:20 --> 01:15:20
			in Surat
		
01:15:35 --> 01:15:37
			before Allah. Nothing about them will be hidden
		
01:15:37 --> 01:15:39
			from Him and He will ask
		
01:15:40 --> 01:15:41
			to who does all
		
01:15:41 --> 01:15:43
			authority belong on this day?
		
01:15:45 --> 01:15:47
			To who does a mulk belong on this
		
01:15:47 --> 01:15:48
			day?
		
01:15:48 --> 01:15:50
			And the answer will be to Allah.
		
01:15:52 --> 01:15:54
			The 1, the Supreme.
		
01:15:55 --> 01:15:57
			And the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says
		
01:15:58 --> 01:16:00
			that Allah will fold the heavens on the
		
01:16:00 --> 01:16:01
			day of judgement
		
01:16:01 --> 01:16:04
			and then He will place them on His
		
01:16:04 --> 01:16:05
			right hand and He will say
		
01:16:12 --> 01:16:14
			He'll say, I am the malik.
		
01:16:14 --> 01:16:16
			Where are the tyrants?
		
01:16:17 --> 01:16:18
			Where are the proud today?
		
01:16:20 --> 01:16:22
			And then he'll fold up the earth, placing
		
01:16:22 --> 01:16:24
			it in his left hand and he will
		
01:16:24 --> 01:16:24
			say,
		
01:16:30 --> 01:16:31
			I am the Malik. Where are
		
01:16:32 --> 01:16:34
			the tyrants? Where are the proud on this
		
01:16:34 --> 01:16:35
			day?
		
01:16:35 --> 01:16:38
			And so when we read, you know, Surah
		
01:16:38 --> 01:16:39
			Al Fatiha
		
01:16:40 --> 01:16:42
			and we read Malikiyaum
		
01:16:43 --> 01:16:43
			Midin.
		
01:16:44 --> 01:16:45
			Now we have
		
01:16:46 --> 01:16:48
			a meaning that perhaps we never thought about
		
01:16:48 --> 01:16:48
			before.
		
01:16:49 --> 01:16:51
			And this is the benefit of learning about
		
01:16:51 --> 01:16:54
			the names of Allah and also the benefit
		
01:16:54 --> 01:16:54
			of
		
01:16:56 --> 01:16:58
			doing tadabbur of the Quran, reflecting over the
		
01:16:58 --> 01:16:59
			Quran.
		
01:16:59 --> 01:17:02
			You know, we shouldn't just read the meanings
		
01:17:02 --> 01:17:04
			and just suffice with that. We should really
		
01:17:04 --> 01:17:05
			delve into the meanings
		
01:17:05 --> 01:17:08
			and understand why is Allah saying what he's
		
01:17:08 --> 01:17:08
			saying?
		
01:17:09 --> 01:17:10
			Why is Allah saying what he's saying?
		
01:17:12 --> 01:17:14
			Finally, the last lesson that we can mention
		
01:17:16 --> 01:17:19
			is that these names should make us turn
		
01:17:19 --> 01:17:20
			to Allah and
		
01:17:20 --> 01:17:22
			seek all of our needs
		
01:17:23 --> 01:17:25
			of the dunya and the akhirah from him
		
01:17:25 --> 01:17:28
			alone as He is the only owner who
		
01:17:28 --> 01:17:29
			owns everything.
		
01:17:30 --> 01:17:32
			Even what is in the hands of others,
		
01:17:34 --> 01:17:36
			right? It actually belongs to Allah as we
		
01:17:36 --> 01:17:37
			mentioned earlier
		
01:17:38 --> 01:17:38
			and
		
01:17:39 --> 01:17:41
			only He can take it out of their
		
01:17:41 --> 01:17:42
			hands and force it to give it to
		
01:17:42 --> 01:17:42
			you.
		
01:17:44 --> 01:17:44
			Right?
		
01:17:45 --> 01:17:46
			So don't humiliate yourself
		
01:17:47 --> 01:17:49
			by begging from the creation,
		
01:17:49 --> 01:17:52
			rather beg the Creator in whose hands belongs
		
01:17:52 --> 01:17:53
			everything.
		
01:17:54 --> 01:17:55
			If you
		
01:17:56 --> 01:17:58
			need something from someone,
		
01:17:58 --> 01:18:00
			yes, you know, Islam doesn't say go and
		
01:18:00 --> 01:18:02
			ask people for help
		
01:18:03 --> 01:18:04
			Or, you know, if you need something from
		
01:18:04 --> 01:18:05
			someone
		
01:18:05 --> 01:18:08
			to ask for it from him.
		
01:18:08 --> 01:18:09
			However,
		
01:18:09 --> 01:18:10
			don't forget
		
01:18:11 --> 01:18:13
			that you could ask Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
01:18:15 --> 01:18:17
			Right? You can ask a lot to to
		
01:18:17 --> 01:18:19
			make this person to help you.
		
01:18:21 --> 01:18:23
			Right? When you do that you have this
		
01:18:23 --> 01:18:24
			in mind.
		
01:18:25 --> 01:18:26
			You have these names in mind,
		
01:18:27 --> 01:18:29
			right? When you do that you have these
		
01:18:29 --> 01:18:30
			names in mind.
		
01:18:31 --> 01:18:33
			Al Malik, Al Malik, Al Malik
		
01:18:36 --> 01:18:39
			And that's why the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
01:18:39 --> 01:18:41
			says in the Hadith of Al Nuzul,
		
01:18:42 --> 01:18:43
			the hadith
		
01:18:43 --> 01:18:46
			of where he mentions that Allah descends to
		
01:18:46 --> 01:18:47
			the lower heavens
		
01:18:47 --> 01:18:49
			in the last 3rd of every night,
		
01:18:50 --> 01:18:52
			In 1 narration, in 1 wording of that
		
01:18:52 --> 01:18:53
			hadith,
		
01:18:55 --> 01:18:55
			the Prophet
		
01:18:56 --> 01:18:58
			says, Allah descends every night to the lowest
		
01:18:58 --> 01:18:59
			heavens
		
01:18:59 --> 01:19:01
			in the last 3rd of the night and
		
01:19:01 --> 01:19:03
			he says Okay. And this is a wording
		
01:19:03 --> 01:19:05
			that many people perhaps have not heard.
		
01:19:06 --> 01:19:08
			He says, * Malik.
		
01:19:09 --> 01:19:11
			* Malik. I am the Malik.
		
01:19:12 --> 01:19:14
			Who is there who is calling upon me
		
01:19:14 --> 01:19:16
			so that I can answer him? Who is
		
01:19:16 --> 01:19:18
			there begging of me for something that I
		
01:19:18 --> 01:19:21
			could grant him? Who is there seeking my
		
01:19:21 --> 01:19:23
			forgiveness so that I could forgive him? And
		
01:19:23 --> 01:19:25
			this continues until,
		
01:19:25 --> 01:19:28
			until dawn, until fajr. And this wording is
		
01:19:28 --> 01:19:29
			in Sahih Muslim.
		
01:19:29 --> 01:19:31
			It is in Sahih Muslim.
		
01:19:31 --> 01:19:33
			And so what this hadith shows us
		
01:19:34 --> 01:19:37
			is Look at how Allah says, * Malik.
		
01:19:38 --> 01:19:39
			Again, what's the,
		
01:19:40 --> 01:19:41
			wisdom behind that?
		
01:19:42 --> 01:19:43
			To encourage us
		
01:19:44 --> 01:19:45
			to turn to Allah
		
01:19:46 --> 01:19:49
			because everything is in in his hands.
		
01:19:50 --> 01:19:51
			So ask him for your needs.
		
01:19:52 --> 01:19:55
			Right? Ask him for your needs rather than
		
01:19:55 --> 01:19:56
			asking the creation.
		
01:19:56 --> 01:19:58
			And so that's what will suffice with. If
		
01:19:58 --> 01:20:01
			there's any questions, we can perhaps take them.
		
01:20:02 --> 01:20:02
			Okay.
		
01:20:03 --> 01:20:04
			So,
		
01:20:06 --> 01:20:07
			you know, if there's questions, you can ask
		
01:20:07 --> 01:20:08
			after them.
		
01:20:10 --> 01:20:11
			We'll just take 1 question.
		
01:20:12 --> 01:20:13
			Go
		
01:20:13 --> 01:20:14
			ahead.
		
01:20:35 --> 01:20:36
			So the question is on that day, on
		
01:20:36 --> 01:20:37
			the day of judgment,
		
01:20:38 --> 01:20:39
			if you're hungry
		
01:20:39 --> 01:20:41
			and you don't have any money and you
		
01:20:41 --> 01:20:43
			don't have anything because we said no one's
		
01:20:43 --> 01:20:45
			going to have anything on that day, right?
		
01:20:45 --> 01:20:46
			You're not going to have any authority, you're
		
01:20:46 --> 01:20:48
			not going to have anything. So what are
		
01:20:48 --> 01:20:49
			you going to do? Basically
		
01:20:55 --> 01:20:57
			Your current plan? Oh, it Normally now. Oh,
		
01:20:57 --> 01:20:59
			okay. Okay. You mean now if you,
		
01:21:01 --> 01:21:04
			so what was the question? Repeat it. Said
		
01:21:04 --> 01:21:05
			that that day,
		
01:21:05 --> 01:21:07
			he was hungry. Mhmm.
		
01:21:15 --> 01:21:15
			Can you?
		
01:21:17 --> 01:21:18
			Steel food.
		
01:21:19 --> 01:21:19
			Yeah.
		
01:21:20 --> 01:21:20
			Yeah. Basically,
		
01:21:21 --> 01:21:24
			you know, someone who is in desperate need
		
01:21:24 --> 01:21:25
			and if he does,
		
01:21:27 --> 01:21:27
			basically
		
01:21:28 --> 01:21:30
			Islam teaches us that you can't punish the
		
01:21:30 --> 01:21:33
			person for that. And it happened. It happened
		
01:21:33 --> 01:21:35
			in the time of Umar ibn Khattab when
		
01:21:35 --> 01:21:36
			he was a Khalifa.
		
01:21:38 --> 01:21:41
			He stopped chopping off people's hands for stealing.
		
01:21:42 --> 01:21:44
			The reason for that was that there was
		
01:21:44 --> 01:21:46
			a lot of poverty, there was a famine,
		
01:21:46 --> 01:21:49
			there was a drought, there was no food.
		
01:21:50 --> 01:21:50
			And,
		
01:21:51 --> 01:21:52
			you know, he said,
		
01:21:53 --> 01:21:55
			you know, if people are doing this, then
		
01:21:55 --> 01:21:56
			it makes sense. They're going hungry.
		
01:21:57 --> 01:21:59
			Right? So he he didn't punish them for
		
01:21:59 --> 01:21:59
			that.
