Kamil Ahmad – The Beautiful Names of Allah #12

Kamil Ahmad
AI: Summary ©
The title of Islam is the same as the title of the Bible, and the title of Islam refers to the knowledge of Islam and not the people. Islam's knowledge is not based on ignorance or forgetfulness, but rather based on actions and behavior. The importance of learning from the names of Islam and avoiding negative comments or references is emphasized, as well as the secret of Islam's knowledge and its impact on one's behavior. The use of the Prophet's eyes and multiple names of Allah's eyes are discussed, and the importance of knowing who Allah is and not worrying about one's enemies. The speaker provides three lessons for future guidance, including being patient with the decree of his Lord, being fully focused, and being a witness on the day of judgment.

We continue on with our series on Isma'u'llahil

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

Husna,

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

the most beautiful names of Allah.

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

And

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

we have covered several names so far.

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

Perhaps

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

half of the names that we want to

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

cover thus far we've covered

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18

until we continue.

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22

Tonight we have

00:01:25 --> 00:01:26

names of Allah

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

3 names

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30

that

00:01:30 --> 00:01:31

basically

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

refer to

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

the knowledge of Allah subhanahu

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

wa ta'ala. His His

00:01:38 --> 00:01:38

knowledge.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:42

And so these three names are

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

Alaaalim,

00:01:45 --> 00:01:46

Alaaalim,

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

and Al Khabib.

00:01:50 --> 00:01:50

Alaaalim,

00:01:52 --> 00:01:52

Alaaalim,

00:01:55 --> 00:01:56

and Al Khabib.

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

As for 'alim,

00:02:06 --> 00:02:07

it has been mentioned

00:02:08 --> 00:02:09

in the Quran 13 times

00:02:12 --> 00:02:15

And every time it was added to

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19

Al Ghaib and Ashahad,

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24

or Al Ghaib on its own.

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

Al Ghayb means the unseen

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

and Ash Shahadah means the seen.

00:02:31 --> 00:02:35

So Allah tells us that He is He

00:02:37 --> 00:02:38

is the Knower

00:02:39 --> 00:02:41

of the unseen

00:02:41 --> 00:02:42

and the seen.

00:02:45 --> 00:02:46

So for example,

00:02:47 --> 00:02:47

Allah says

00:02:48 --> 00:02:49

in Surah

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

Then you'll be returned

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

to the one who knows the ghaib, the

00:03:01 --> 00:03:02

unseen,

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

and the seen.

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06

And then he'll inform you of what you

00:03:06 --> 00:03:06

used to do.

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10

And other times, Allah just mentions Al Ghayb

00:03:10 --> 00:03:11

on its own.

00:03:11 --> 00:03:13

For example, in Surat Al Jin,

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21

The knower of the unseen.

00:03:22 --> 00:03:23

The knower of the unseen

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

disclosing none of it to anyone.

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

Allah doesn't disclose the unseen to anyone.

00:03:33 --> 00:03:34

And twice

00:03:36 --> 00:03:38

Allah's name, Alim, has been mentioned in the

00:03:38 --> 00:03:39

plural form.

00:03:42 --> 00:03:45

And so in Surat Al Anbiya, Allah says,

00:03:58 --> 00:03:59

And we granted Ibrahim

00:04:00 --> 00:04:01

sound judgment

00:04:02 --> 00:04:03

early on,

00:04:04 --> 00:04:06

and we knew Him very well. Allah says

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08

we knew Him very well.

00:04:11 --> 00:04:14

And also in Surat Alambia, Allah says

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23

And we know everything.

00:04:24 --> 00:04:25

We have knowledge of

00:04:26 --> 00:04:27

everything.

00:04:28 --> 00:04:29

And we spoke about

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

referring to himself in the plural form. We

00:04:34 --> 00:04:36

spoke about this last time

00:04:36 --> 00:04:37

and what that means.

00:04:39 --> 00:04:41

And so this is Allah's name Al Alif.

00:04:42 --> 00:04:43

As for Al Alim,

00:04:44 --> 00:04:45

this is a name that has been mentioned

00:04:45 --> 00:04:47

multiple times in the Quran.

00:04:49 --> 00:04:50

And if you were to

00:04:51 --> 00:04:53

count the number of times, it comes to

00:04:53 --> 00:04:54

approximately a 157

00:04:55 --> 00:04:56

times in the Quran.

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

So this is one of the names that

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

has been mentioned

00:05:00 --> 00:05:01

frequently

00:05:02 --> 00:05:02

in the Quran.

00:05:04 --> 00:05:06

Just like other names of Allah like Al

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

Ghafoor,

00:05:07 --> 00:05:08

Ar Rahim,

00:05:09 --> 00:05:10

Al Aziz,

00:05:10 --> 00:05:13

these names are frequently mentioned in the Quran.

00:05:16 --> 00:05:17

And

00:05:18 --> 00:05:20

many times Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24

mentions a particular phrase. What is that?

00:05:29 --> 00:05:30

No?

00:05:31 --> 00:05:31

In Nawwah?

00:05:35 --> 00:05:36

Okay so that's Allah

00:05:37 --> 00:05:38

combining between

00:05:39 --> 00:05:40

Aleem with Hakim.

00:05:42 --> 00:05:43

But something else,

00:05:45 --> 00:05:46

Just say Qadir.

00:05:47 --> 00:05:48

We mentioned like Qadir.

00:06:03 --> 00:06:05

That Allah has knowledge of everything.

00:06:09 --> 00:06:10

As for Al Khabib

00:06:12 --> 00:06:15

as for Al Khabeer, it has been mentioned

00:06:15 --> 00:06:16

45 times in the Quran.

00:06:19 --> 00:06:21

And most of the time,

00:06:24 --> 00:06:25

it's mentioned

00:06:26 --> 00:06:27

as

00:06:28 --> 00:06:29

Wallahu Khabeerumdi

00:06:30 --> 00:06:31

Matta Amaloon or

00:06:32 --> 00:06:33

Wallahu Bima Ta'amaloona

00:06:34 --> 00:06:34

khadib.

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

That Allah,

00:06:38 --> 00:06:40

is fully aware

00:06:40 --> 00:06:41

of what you do.

00:06:41 --> 00:06:44

Allah is fully aware of what you do.

00:06:52 --> 00:06:53

And sometimes

00:06:53 --> 00:06:55

it's mentioned on its own.

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

For example,

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

Yaumma

00:07:01 --> 00:07:02

idhin lakhabir

00:07:03 --> 00:07:04

Suratul Adiyat,

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

Allah says, surely

00:07:07 --> 00:07:09

their Lord is all aware of them on

00:07:09 --> 00:07:10

that day. Meaning

00:07:11 --> 00:07:12

the day of judgment.

00:07:15 --> 00:07:15

So

00:07:17 --> 00:07:20

what do these names mean? As we mentioned

00:07:20 --> 00:07:20

earlier,

00:07:21 --> 00:07:22

they all referred to

00:07:23 --> 00:07:24

the ail,

00:07:24 --> 00:07:25

the knowledge of Allah.

00:07:27 --> 00:07:30

So these names they teach us that Allah

00:07:31 --> 00:07:33

is the one who knows everything.

00:07:34 --> 00:07:35

He comprehends

00:07:36 --> 00:07:37

everything.

00:07:38 --> 00:07:40

He is fully aware

00:07:40 --> 00:07:41

of all things

00:07:43 --> 00:07:47

Even before they exist. Even before they happen.

00:07:49 --> 00:07:51

He is the one who has knowledge with

00:07:51 --> 00:07:52

certainty.

00:07:54 --> 00:07:55

Not knowledge

00:07:56 --> 00:07:57

which is tainted with doubt.

00:08:00 --> 00:08:02

And he is the one who knows the

00:08:02 --> 00:08:03

past, the present and the future

00:08:06 --> 00:08:07

and

00:08:07 --> 00:08:09

nothing is concealed from him.

00:08:10 --> 00:08:12

Nothing is hidden from his knowledge.

00:08:15 --> 00:08:16

And so he is the one who knows

00:08:16 --> 00:08:17

everything

00:08:18 --> 00:08:20

in general and in detail.

00:08:22 --> 00:08:25

And so this is generally the meaning of

00:08:25 --> 00:08:29

these names, Mala'alim, Al-'Alim and Al Khabeem.

00:08:32 --> 00:08:32

And to

00:08:33 --> 00:08:35

put this knowledge into perspective,

00:08:37 --> 00:08:39

we have the story of

00:08:40 --> 00:08:41

Musa and Khidr.

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44

The Allah mentions in Surat Al Kahf that

00:08:44 --> 00:08:47

the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam mentions it

00:08:47 --> 00:08:47

in more detail

00:08:48 --> 00:08:49

in a hadith in Sahih Muslim.

00:08:50 --> 00:08:53

A long hadith, the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa

00:08:53 --> 00:08:53

sallam,

00:08:54 --> 00:08:56

explains that story to us.

00:08:59 --> 00:09:00

Basically Musa

00:09:01 --> 00:09:03

thought that he was the most knowledgeable person

00:09:03 --> 00:09:03

on earth

00:09:04 --> 00:09:06

because he was a prophet of Allah.

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08

He knew things that other people did not

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

know.

00:09:09 --> 00:09:11

So Allah wanted to teach him a lesson

00:09:11 --> 00:09:13

and tell him that no, there's someone else

00:09:13 --> 00:09:15

who has knowledge that I have given, who

00:09:15 --> 00:09:16

I have not given to you. I have

00:09:16 --> 00:09:18

not given that knowledge to you

00:09:18 --> 00:09:19

that was khidr.

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

So

00:09:23 --> 00:09:24

Musa alaihis

00:09:30 --> 00:09:33

salam wanted to meet him. He wanted to

00:09:33 --> 00:09:35

see who this person is. So he traveled.

00:09:36 --> 00:09:38

Tells us the story in Surat Al Kahf.

00:09:39 --> 00:09:40

Anyways, the point is

00:09:42 --> 00:09:43

when they met

00:09:46 --> 00:09:46

and

00:09:47 --> 00:09:48

when they met and they were on the

00:09:48 --> 00:09:49

ship.

00:09:52 --> 00:09:52

Khidr

00:09:54 --> 00:09:55

wanted to show

00:09:56 --> 00:09:56

and explain

00:10:00 --> 00:10:02

the knowledge of Allah compared to

00:10:02 --> 00:10:03

whose knowledge?

00:10:07 --> 00:10:07

And?

00:10:08 --> 00:10:09

And Khidr.

00:10:10 --> 00:10:12

The 2 most knowledgeable people on the face

00:10:12 --> 00:10:14

of the earth at that time.

00:10:16 --> 00:10:20

So Khidr, he says to Musa alaihis salam.

00:11:02 --> 00:11:03

I think it's the battery.

00:11:12 --> 00:11:15

So Musa alaihis salam or Khidr, he says

00:11:15 --> 00:11:17

to Musa alaihis salam,

00:11:20 --> 00:11:21

as they were on the ship,

00:11:22 --> 00:11:24

there was a pigeon or a bird that

00:11:24 --> 00:11:25

landed and

00:11:29 --> 00:11:32

put its beak into the ocean, the sea.

00:11:36 --> 00:11:37

So Khidr said,

00:11:38 --> 00:11:40

my knowledge and your knowledge

00:11:41 --> 00:11:42

compared to the knowledge of Allah

00:11:44 --> 00:11:45

is like

00:11:47 --> 00:11:48

what this bird

00:11:49 --> 00:11:50

took out

00:11:51 --> 00:11:51

from

00:11:52 --> 00:11:54

the water of the ocean, the sea.

00:11:55 --> 00:11:56

What did it take out? Perhaps a drop

00:11:56 --> 00:11:57

or 2.

00:11:59 --> 00:12:00

It's incomparable.

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03

The knowledge we have compared to the knowledge

00:12:03 --> 00:12:04

of Allah cannot be compared.

00:12:06 --> 00:12:07

There's no way for us

00:12:08 --> 00:12:11

to even begin to think that we can

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

comprehend

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

the knowledge of Allah. It's impossible.

00:12:15 --> 00:12:17

We can't even come near to it

00:12:19 --> 00:12:20

and that is why

00:12:21 --> 00:12:23

it's important for us to submit

00:12:25 --> 00:12:28

to Allah and whatever He decides, whatever He

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

decrees

00:12:29 --> 00:12:30

in His creation.

00:12:31 --> 00:12:32

And we're gonna come to this point later

00:12:32 --> 00:12:33

on

00:12:36 --> 00:12:39

because sometimes we cannot make sense of things.

00:12:41 --> 00:12:42

Why does Allah do this? Why does He

00:12:42 --> 00:12:43

do that?

00:12:44 --> 00:12:46

Why does Allah legislate this? Why does he

00:12:46 --> 00:12:47

legislate that?

00:12:49 --> 00:12:51

We can try to comprehend it. We can

00:12:51 --> 00:12:52

try to understand it.

00:12:54 --> 00:12:56

But in the end of the day,

00:12:56 --> 00:12:57

what is our knowledge

00:12:58 --> 00:12:59

compared to the knowledge of Allah?

00:13:00 --> 00:13:02

It's like a person who comes

00:13:02 --> 00:13:04

to the ocean and he says, I want

00:13:04 --> 00:13:06

he takes a glass

00:13:06 --> 00:13:08

and he says, I want all the water

00:13:08 --> 00:13:10

of this ocean to be in this glass.

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

It's impossible

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

And unfortunately, some of us,

00:13:15 --> 00:13:17

we fall into this trap

00:13:18 --> 00:13:19

and we say we want to understand

00:13:21 --> 00:13:22

why Allah does things,

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

why Allah,

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

you know,

00:13:25 --> 00:13:26

decrees such and such,

00:13:27 --> 00:13:29

and I have to understand it.

00:13:30 --> 00:13:31

Right?

00:13:31 --> 00:13:35

And so it's impossible for us to even

00:13:35 --> 00:13:36

begin to imagine,

00:13:38 --> 00:13:40

comprehending the knowledge of Allah subhanahu

00:13:40 --> 00:13:41

wa ta'ala.

00:13:43 --> 00:13:43

Alright.

00:13:46 --> 00:13:46

Now

00:13:50 --> 00:13:52

Al-'arim and Al-'alim come from the same root

00:13:52 --> 00:13:53

word of?

00:13:55 --> 00:13:55

Of?

00:13:56 --> 00:13:57

Alal.

00:13:57 --> 00:13:58

Right? Knowledge.

00:14:02 --> 00:14:06

But there's another word that refers to knowledge

00:14:07 --> 00:14:09

in the Arabic language. What is that?

00:14:12 --> 00:14:14

There's Al and there's

00:14:15 --> 00:14:17

Marifa. Right? Marifa.

00:14:17 --> 00:14:18

And the,

00:14:21 --> 00:14:23

the verb for that is Yarifu. Right? Arafa

00:14:23 --> 00:14:24

Yarifu.

00:14:26 --> 00:14:29

What's the difference between alm and ma'arifah?

00:14:31 --> 00:14:33

So we attribute to Allah'al,

00:14:34 --> 00:14:35

right.

00:14:35 --> 00:14:36

He is Al Ali

00:14:38 --> 00:14:39

and You Alamu.

00:14:40 --> 00:14:42

He knows as Allah mentions in the Quran

00:14:42 --> 00:14:43

that He knows.

00:14:44 --> 00:14:45

You Alamu.

00:14:46 --> 00:14:48

Can we attribute to Allah Ma'arifah?

00:14:55 --> 00:14:55

Okay.

00:15:11 --> 00:15:13

We're gonna come to that. That's the meaning

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

of

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

the third name, Al Khabeel. Right, we wouldn't

00:15:17 --> 00:15:20

come to that. But when it comes to

00:15:21 --> 00:15:23

Na'riqah, we cannot first of all, we have

00:15:23 --> 00:15:24

the rule,

00:15:25 --> 00:15:26

when it comes to Allah's names and that

00:15:26 --> 00:15:27

is what?

00:15:27 --> 00:15:29

We only attribute to Allah

00:15:30 --> 00:15:31

what He Himself

00:15:33 --> 00:15:34

attributes to himself. Right?

00:15:36 --> 00:15:38

So that's the rule we go by. We

00:15:38 --> 00:15:40

simply say we do not attribute to Allah,

00:15:40 --> 00:15:43

madifa, because he himself did not attribute to

00:15:43 --> 00:15:44

to himself.

00:15:45 --> 00:15:46

Nowhere will you find

00:15:47 --> 00:15:49

Allah or his messenger saying Allahu You Arifu

00:15:50 --> 00:15:51

or

00:15:51 --> 00:15:52

Inna Allahu Aarifu.

00:15:53 --> 00:15:54

It doesn't come in the Quran or in

00:15:54 --> 00:15:55

the sunnah.

00:15:56 --> 00:15:57

Secondly,

00:15:58 --> 00:16:00

the reason for that they say

00:16:01 --> 00:16:02

is

00:16:03 --> 00:16:04

that

00:16:05 --> 00:16:06

Al Na'itha

00:16:08 --> 00:16:09

is knowledge which is gained

00:16:11 --> 00:16:12

through learning,

00:16:15 --> 00:16:15

through

00:16:18 --> 00:16:20

training, through experience.

00:16:22 --> 00:16:23

So

00:16:24 --> 00:16:25

what preceded that?

00:16:26 --> 00:16:26

Ignorance.

00:16:27 --> 00:16:28

Okay.

00:16:29 --> 00:16:31

What preceded that was ignorance. This person didn't

00:16:31 --> 00:16:33

know, now he knows

00:16:34 --> 00:16:36

and we do not attribute that to Allah.

00:16:37 --> 00:16:38

We do not attribute

00:16:38 --> 00:16:39

that to Allah

00:16:42 --> 00:16:44

So Allah is Al Alim. He is Alim.

00:16:45 --> 00:16:47

He's also Alham. Alham Alahuwiyub.

00:16:50 --> 00:16:51

As for Al Khabir

00:16:53 --> 00:16:54

as for Al Khabir,

00:16:56 --> 00:16:58

it comes from the root word of Khibra.

00:16:58 --> 00:16:59

Khibra means

00:17:01 --> 00:17:02

to have

00:17:04 --> 00:17:05

detailed knowledge of something.

00:17:10 --> 00:17:12

And that's why when you say someone is

00:17:12 --> 00:17:14

khabir, what does that mean?

00:17:17 --> 00:17:19

He is experienced

00:17:20 --> 00:17:22

or skilled in in something particular.

00:17:24 --> 00:17:25

He knows something

00:17:25 --> 00:17:26

inside out.

00:17:29 --> 00:17:29

So

00:17:31 --> 00:17:33

Al Ahim is more general

00:17:36 --> 00:17:37

and Al Khibra is more specific.

00:17:39 --> 00:17:41

So when we say Allah is Al Aalim

00:17:41 --> 00:17:43

and He is Al Aleem,

00:17:43 --> 00:17:44

meaning

00:17:45 --> 00:17:47

in the general sense, Allah knows everything,

00:17:48 --> 00:17:49

right?

00:17:50 --> 00:17:51

Encompassing

00:17:52 --> 00:17:54

absolutely everything.

00:17:55 --> 00:17:56

Whereas khabir refers

00:17:57 --> 00:17:59

to the one who has knowledge of the

00:17:59 --> 00:18:00

finest details of things.

00:18:03 --> 00:18:06

And that's why Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala usually

00:18:06 --> 00:18:06

uses

00:18:07 --> 00:18:08

his name Al Khabeer

00:18:09 --> 00:18:10

to describe

00:18:10 --> 00:18:11

his knowledge

00:18:12 --> 00:18:14

of the small minute things

00:18:15 --> 00:18:17

that most others don't know.

00:18:18 --> 00:18:20

Those things that most others do not know.

00:18:25 --> 00:18:26

For example,

00:18:29 --> 00:18:30

in Surat An Nur,

00:18:32 --> 00:18:34

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,

00:18:36 --> 00:18:37

Ihudum

00:18:37 --> 00:18:38

min arbusarim

00:18:39 --> 00:18:41

warahfahu furujahu

00:18:42 --> 00:18:42

zhalikaizkalaum.

00:18:45 --> 00:18:46

Tell the believing men

00:18:47 --> 00:18:49

to lower their gaze

00:18:50 --> 00:18:51

and protect their private

00:18:52 --> 00:18:52

parties.

00:18:52 --> 00:18:54

That is purer for them.

00:18:55 --> 00:18:57

How does Allah end the ayah?

00:18:57 --> 00:19:00

Inna Allahu Fabi'um Bima yosnahuun.

00:19:02 --> 00:19:05

For verily Allah is all aware of what

00:19:05 --> 00:19:06

they do, kabeet.

00:19:09 --> 00:19:11

Now why didn't Allah say Alim here?

00:19:13 --> 00:19:14

The scholars say because

00:19:16 --> 00:19:17

your sight and your gaze

00:19:19 --> 00:19:21

and what you look at is something

00:19:22 --> 00:19:24

that you can hide from people around you.

00:19:25 --> 00:19:28

You know, you can appear to be looking

00:19:28 --> 00:19:30

at something while in reality you're looking at

00:19:30 --> 00:19:31

something else.

00:19:32 --> 00:19:33

Right?

00:19:33 --> 00:19:34

To those around you.

00:19:36 --> 00:19:38

So no one knows what you're actually looking

00:19:38 --> 00:19:39

at besides Allah.

00:19:41 --> 00:19:43

Which is why he uses his name and

00:19:43 --> 00:19:44

khabir here.

00:19:49 --> 00:19:49

Also,

00:19:50 --> 00:19:53

in Surat Al Adiyat, we mentioned the Ayah.

00:20:01 --> 00:20:03

Surely their Lord is

00:20:03 --> 00:20:05

all aware of them

00:20:06 --> 00:20:08

on that day, meaning the day of judgment.

00:20:13 --> 00:20:15

But Allah is aware of us

00:20:16 --> 00:20:17

at all times.

00:20:17 --> 00:20:17

Right?

00:20:18 --> 00:20:21

Why does he specifically mention that he is

00:20:21 --> 00:20:23

fully aware of us on that day?

00:20:29 --> 00:20:30

Because no one knows,

00:20:33 --> 00:20:34

no one else knows

00:20:34 --> 00:20:35

what was deep

00:20:36 --> 00:20:38

inside our hearts besides Him.

00:20:40 --> 00:20:42

And so he will inform

00:20:42 --> 00:20:45

us of every small thing that is in

00:20:45 --> 00:20:46

our hearts that other people

00:20:48 --> 00:20:49

have no knowledge of.

00:20:56 --> 00:20:58

What's the evidence of this?

00:20:59 --> 00:21:01

What are the ayats before them?

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

Right?

00:21:12 --> 00:21:13

What is in the chest, in the hearts,

00:21:13 --> 00:21:15

they're gonna come out on that day.

00:21:15 --> 00:21:18

And then Allah ends by saying He is

00:21:18 --> 00:21:20

fully aware of us on that day, on

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

the day of judgment.

00:21:27 --> 00:21:30

And so these are Allah's names, Al 'alim,

00:21:30 --> 00:21:31

Al 'alim, and

00:21:32 --> 00:21:33

Al Sayyid.

00:21:39 --> 00:21:40

We move on to

00:21:40 --> 00:21:42

what these names teach us.

00:21:43 --> 00:21:45

The first lesson that we learn

00:21:46 --> 00:21:49

is that the knowledge of Allah is unlike

00:21:49 --> 00:21:50

the knowledge

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

of His creation.

00:21:56 --> 00:21:57

Allah's knowledge

00:21:57 --> 00:21:59

cannot be compared to the knowledge of anyone

00:21:59 --> 00:22:00

else,

00:22:01 --> 00:22:02

Whether it is human beings

00:22:03 --> 00:22:04

or the jinn

00:22:05 --> 00:22:06

or anyone else.

00:22:08 --> 00:22:11

Allah's knowledge is not preceded by ignorance

00:22:11 --> 00:22:14

and it is not followed by forgetfulness.

00:22:16 --> 00:22:17

Contrary

00:22:18 --> 00:22:19

to human beings.

00:22:21 --> 00:22:23

Whatever knowledge you have, no matter who you

00:22:23 --> 00:22:25

are, even if you are the most knowledgeable

00:22:25 --> 00:22:27

intellectual person on the face of the earth,

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

your knowledge was preceded by ignorance.

00:22:31 --> 00:22:32

You acquire this knowledge.

00:22:34 --> 00:22:36

That is not the case with Allah.

00:22:38 --> 00:22:40

His knowledge is a part of who He

00:22:40 --> 00:22:40

is

00:22:43 --> 00:22:45

And there comes a time when we forget

00:22:45 --> 00:22:46

things

00:22:46 --> 00:22:47

that we used to know.

00:22:47 --> 00:22:49

That is not the case with Allah Subhanahu

00:22:50 --> 00:22:50

Wa Ta'ala.

00:22:54 --> 00:22:56

And your Lord does not forget.

00:23:01 --> 00:23:03

And as we mentioned, this is why

00:23:05 --> 00:23:07

this is why Allah is attributed with the

00:23:07 --> 00:23:07

'il

00:23:08 --> 00:23:10

and not the 'arifah as we mentioned.

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

The second lesson that we learned

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

is that the knowledge of Allah encompasses

00:23:17 --> 00:23:18

everything.

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

So Allah knows

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

everything before it existed

00:23:26 --> 00:23:27

and

00:23:28 --> 00:23:31

how its existence will be until the very

00:23:31 --> 00:23:31

end.

00:23:34 --> 00:23:37

And He even knows that which will never

00:23:37 --> 00:23:37

exist if

00:23:39 --> 00:23:40

If it was to exist,

00:23:42 --> 00:23:44

how it would exist?

00:23:48 --> 00:23:48

Allah knows

00:23:49 --> 00:23:51

that which will never happen.

00:23:51 --> 00:23:53

If it was to happen,

00:23:54 --> 00:23:57

how it would happen, only Allah knows.

00:23:59 --> 00:24:00

And so what this teaches

00:24:01 --> 00:24:02

us is

00:24:03 --> 00:24:04

what this teaches us

00:24:06 --> 00:24:09

is to always refer to Allah subhanahu wa

00:24:09 --> 00:24:09

ta'ala

00:24:11 --> 00:24:12

who knows everything

00:24:14 --> 00:24:16

and never to object to anything.

00:24:19 --> 00:24:21

The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam forbid

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

us. When things don't go the way we

00:24:25 --> 00:24:26

planned

00:24:27 --> 00:24:28

and a mishap happens,

00:24:29 --> 00:24:31

something happens in our lives,

00:24:32 --> 00:24:34

we feel it was because of what we

00:24:34 --> 00:24:35

did. We did something wrong

00:24:37 --> 00:24:38

and so we say to ourselves,

00:24:39 --> 00:24:42

if only I had done such and such

00:24:42 --> 00:24:43

in this way,

00:24:44 --> 00:24:46

the result would have been different. The prophet

00:24:46 --> 00:24:47

said, do not say

00:24:48 --> 00:24:50

that. Do not say that. Don't say if.

00:24:52 --> 00:24:53

Why he said? Because that opens up the

00:24:53 --> 00:24:54

door of Shaytan.

00:25:00 --> 00:25:02

Because what you're claiming here

00:25:03 --> 00:25:05

is that you know

00:25:06 --> 00:25:08

something that only Allah knows.

00:25:11 --> 00:25:11

Right?

00:25:13 --> 00:25:14

Yes.

00:25:17 --> 00:25:18

On the offset, it seems

00:25:19 --> 00:25:21

that if I had done something differently, the

00:25:21 --> 00:25:22

result would have been different.

00:25:23 --> 00:25:23

Right?

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

It seems like that.

00:25:26 --> 00:25:27

But how do you know?

00:25:28 --> 00:25:29

Maybe it would have been worse.

00:25:31 --> 00:25:32

And that's why we say

00:25:33 --> 00:25:34

only Allah knows

00:25:35 --> 00:25:37

that which will never happen. Allah did not

00:25:37 --> 00:25:38

decree for it to happen.

00:25:39 --> 00:25:40

Right?

00:25:42 --> 00:25:43

If it was to happen,

00:25:44 --> 00:25:46

only Allah knows how it would happen.

00:25:49 --> 00:25:51

And this is why in the dua of

00:25:51 --> 00:25:52

alistikhar,

00:26:21 --> 00:26:22

And what I've heard is,

00:26:22 --> 00:26:24

for example, if you put

00:26:25 --> 00:26:26

if you did all of your work for

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

something and you did the Sahi, all that

00:26:28 --> 00:26:30

kind of stuff, and it didn't work out,

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

that's Allah's cover. But what if I was

00:26:30 --> 00:26:31

lazy for it? That's my choice.

00:26:53 --> 00:26:56

Yeah. That's a different discussion. That's

00:26:56 --> 00:26:57

regarding,

00:26:58 --> 00:27:00

the qadr of Allah and our belief regarding

00:27:00 --> 00:27:01

qadr.

00:27:01 --> 00:27:04

And our belief regarding Qadr is that Allah

00:27:04 --> 00:27:05

has given us free will

00:27:06 --> 00:27:07

and at the same time

00:27:08 --> 00:27:09

He

00:27:10 --> 00:27:12

exercises His will.

00:27:19 --> 00:27:21

Whatever you will, Allah wills

00:27:23 --> 00:27:25

it. So basically, the way we explain this

00:27:25 --> 00:27:26

is

00:27:27 --> 00:27:29

that Allah has given you

00:27:29 --> 00:27:30

free

00:27:30 --> 00:27:30

will

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

and

00:27:32 --> 00:27:35

whatever you do, whatever you plan, whatever you

00:27:35 --> 00:27:36

end up doing,

00:27:37 --> 00:27:38

it was

00:27:39 --> 00:27:41

written, decreed by Allah.

00:27:43 --> 00:27:43

Yeah. Exactly.

00:27:45 --> 00:27:46

This is all part of His knowledge.

00:27:49 --> 00:27:50

But you can't use that

00:27:52 --> 00:27:52

to justify

00:27:55 --> 00:27:55

your

00:27:56 --> 00:27:58

sins or your inaction.

00:28:00 --> 00:28:01

Right?

00:28:02 --> 00:28:04

And the reason for that is because your

00:28:04 --> 00:28:05

inaction

00:28:08 --> 00:28:09

was as a result of your will.

00:28:11 --> 00:28:12

So exactly. That's what I'm saying. Mhmm. For

00:28:12 --> 00:28:15

example, if a project fails because I was

00:28:15 --> 00:28:16

leaving Yeah.

00:28:16 --> 00:28:18

I can see that Mhmm. That's all was

00:28:18 --> 00:28:20

covered and Yeah.

00:28:20 --> 00:28:22

I can put the dream on myself. Yes.

00:28:22 --> 00:28:23

Exactly.

00:28:27 --> 00:28:29

Well, let's go back to the same hadith.

00:28:37 --> 00:28:38

Yes, of course.

00:28:39 --> 00:28:40

Basically,

00:28:40 --> 00:28:42

we do have a hadith in which the

00:28:42 --> 00:28:43

prophet said.

00:28:46 --> 00:28:47

Basically,

00:28:47 --> 00:28:49

on his Hajj, when he went for Hajj,

00:28:52 --> 00:28:53

he took with him

00:28:54 --> 00:28:55

al Hadi, the animals

00:28:56 --> 00:28:56

to slaughter.

00:28:59 --> 00:29:01

And basically when he thought about it later

00:29:01 --> 00:29:02

on, he

00:29:03 --> 00:29:05

realized that it was too much of a

00:29:05 --> 00:29:05

burden

00:29:06 --> 00:29:07

and

00:29:07 --> 00:29:09

it would have been better if he had

00:29:09 --> 00:29:10

not done that.

00:29:10 --> 00:29:12

So what did he say?

00:29:19 --> 00:29:20

If I can go back

00:29:23 --> 00:29:25

and change what I did, I would not

00:29:25 --> 00:29:27

have brought the animals.

00:29:28 --> 00:29:28

Right.

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

But here he's not objecting

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

or he's not

00:29:34 --> 00:29:35

he's not trying to,

00:29:36 --> 00:29:38

you know, change the qadr of Allah or

00:29:39 --> 00:29:41

object to the qadr of Allah,

00:29:41 --> 00:29:42

right.

00:29:42 --> 00:29:43

And here you notice,

00:29:46 --> 00:29:48

there's a difference. The the lau, the if

00:29:48 --> 00:29:49

that we're not

00:29:50 --> 00:29:51

supposed to use

00:29:51 --> 00:29:52

is the one that

00:29:53 --> 00:29:54

you know where,

00:29:55 --> 00:29:56

it basically

00:29:57 --> 00:29:58

makes us discontent

00:30:00 --> 00:30:01

and live in misery.

00:30:02 --> 00:30:04

That, oh if I had, you know, done

00:30:04 --> 00:30:06

things differently, it would have been like this.

00:30:06 --> 00:30:07

Then you start

00:30:08 --> 00:30:10

to basically live in despair

00:30:10 --> 00:30:11

and grief,

00:30:13 --> 00:30:13

right?

00:30:14 --> 00:30:16

Because you're thinking it's all because of my

00:30:16 --> 00:30:17

own self.

00:30:18 --> 00:30:18

Right?

00:30:19 --> 00:30:21

But you here you're forgetting about the Qadr

00:30:21 --> 00:30:22

of Allah.

00:30:22 --> 00:30:24

So we have to combine the 2. We

00:30:24 --> 00:30:26

have to combine the 2. Yes.

00:30:26 --> 00:30:27

You know,

00:30:27 --> 00:30:28

I'm responsible

00:30:29 --> 00:30:31

for what I did but in the end

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

of the day,

00:30:32 --> 00:30:34

okay I've learned my lesson, now let's move

00:30:34 --> 00:30:35

on.

00:30:35 --> 00:30:37

It was the qadr of Allah.

00:30:38 --> 00:30:41

Just like Adam alaihis salaam, we know he

00:30:41 --> 00:30:42

ate from the tree.

00:30:43 --> 00:30:45

When Musa met Adam,

00:30:45 --> 00:30:47

he said it's because of you that we

00:30:48 --> 00:30:50

ended up getting kicked out of Jannah.

00:30:52 --> 00:30:53

Right?

00:30:54 --> 00:30:55

So Adam said,

00:30:56 --> 00:30:59

you're using the qadr of Allah and you

00:30:59 --> 00:31:00

can't do that.

00:31:01 --> 00:31:03

Right? The point is Adam he

00:31:04 --> 00:31:05

learned his lesson.

00:31:06 --> 00:31:07

Right? And that's why

00:31:08 --> 00:31:09

he made tawdah

00:31:10 --> 00:31:11

and he was a sincere tawba.

00:31:13 --> 00:31:14

So

00:31:16 --> 00:31:18

the point here is that we need to

00:31:18 --> 00:31:20

balance between the 2. We need to balance

00:31:20 --> 00:31:20

between this.

00:31:25 --> 00:31:27

Alright. The third lesson that we learned

00:31:30 --> 00:31:32

is that believing in these names

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

of Allah

00:31:35 --> 00:31:37

should cause us to fear him,

00:31:37 --> 00:31:38

to fear Allah

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

and

00:31:42 --> 00:31:44

make us to feel a sense of

00:31:45 --> 00:31:47

the muraqabah of Allah

00:31:49 --> 00:31:49

in

00:31:50 --> 00:31:51

public and in private.

00:31:56 --> 00:31:58

And we have mentioned this regarding many other

00:31:58 --> 00:31:59

names of Allah,

00:32:00 --> 00:32:00

that

00:32:01 --> 00:32:03

when we ponder and reflect over these names

00:32:03 --> 00:32:04

of Allah,

00:32:05 --> 00:32:07

and we know who Allah is,

00:32:09 --> 00:32:09

it should

00:32:10 --> 00:32:12

basically put some fear in our hearts.

00:32:14 --> 00:32:15

Now this is who we're talking about.

00:32:16 --> 00:32:19

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the one who knows

00:32:19 --> 00:32:19

everything,

00:32:20 --> 00:32:23

The one who is fully aware of absolutely

00:32:23 --> 00:32:23

everything.

00:32:25 --> 00:32:27

As we said regarding Allah's name Al Khabid,

00:32:27 --> 00:32:27

right?

00:32:28 --> 00:32:30

Why does Allah end that ayah

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

with that name?

00:32:33 --> 00:32:34

The ayah

00:32:35 --> 00:32:36

of lowering the gaze

00:32:37 --> 00:32:38

to remind us

00:32:38 --> 00:32:40

that you can play around.

00:32:41 --> 00:32:42

You know, in the end of the day,

00:32:43 --> 00:32:45

you can cheat others around you, but you

00:32:45 --> 00:32:46

can't cheat Allah.

00:32:47 --> 00:32:48

So fear Allah.

00:32:50 --> 00:32:52

Allah knows what you're looking at

00:32:53 --> 00:32:56

even if others don't. Right? That's just one

00:32:56 --> 00:32:56

example.

00:32:57 --> 00:32:57

But in general,

00:32:58 --> 00:33:01

these names of Allah should plant that fear

00:33:01 --> 00:33:03

in our hearts for Allah

00:33:04 --> 00:33:06

And so we shouldn't do anything

00:33:06 --> 00:33:07

or say anything

00:33:08 --> 00:33:11

that is displeasing to Allah. Why? Because He

00:33:11 --> 00:33:12

knows

00:33:13 --> 00:33:14

what we're doing

00:33:14 --> 00:33:15

and what we're saying.

00:33:17 --> 00:33:19

The next lesson that we learn

00:33:24 --> 00:33:25

is that

00:33:28 --> 00:33:30

when we know that Allah

00:33:30 --> 00:33:31

knows everything

00:33:33 --> 00:33:34

before it happens

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

and that he wrote it down before creating

00:33:38 --> 00:33:39

anything.

00:33:40 --> 00:33:42

This should cause us

00:33:42 --> 00:33:43

to feel at ease

00:33:45 --> 00:33:46

with

00:33:46 --> 00:33:47

the Qadr of Allah,

00:33:49 --> 00:33:52

to be content and satisfied with what Allah

00:33:52 --> 00:33:52

has decreed.

00:33:53 --> 00:33:55

Why? Because it is based on his

00:33:56 --> 00:33:56

knowledge,

00:33:58 --> 00:33:59

his wisdom.

00:34:02 --> 00:34:04

When you know that whatever Allah has decreed

00:34:05 --> 00:34:06

was based on his knowledge

00:34:07 --> 00:34:08

and his wisdom,

00:34:09 --> 00:34:11

this will lead you to become content

00:34:11 --> 00:34:13

with whatever Allah decrees,

00:34:14 --> 00:34:16

not objecting to it, not questioning

00:34:17 --> 00:34:18

the decree of Allah.

00:34:20 --> 00:34:22

How many people today they question Allah,

00:34:23 --> 00:34:25

especially when a mishap happens to them, a

00:34:25 --> 00:34:26

calamity befalls them.

00:34:29 --> 00:34:30

There are people,

00:34:30 --> 00:34:33

walaia dubillah, they curse Allah

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

because of that.

00:34:38 --> 00:34:40

And they put the blame on Allah Subhanahu

00:34:40 --> 00:34:42

Wa Ta'ala for what they're going through.

00:34:46 --> 00:34:48

And so Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:34:52 --> 00:34:53

says,

00:34:57 --> 00:34:59

Allah is not questioned about what he does,

00:35:00 --> 00:35:02

but they will be questioned.

00:35:03 --> 00:35:04

Who are you to question Allah

00:35:06 --> 00:35:08

when he created you

00:35:10 --> 00:35:11

and he has given you everything? Who are

00:35:11 --> 00:35:13

you to question Allah

00:35:15 --> 00:35:16

when it is you who will be questioned

00:35:16 --> 00:35:18

by Allah on the day of judgment?

00:35:19 --> 00:35:19

Right?

00:35:20 --> 00:35:21

The point here is

00:35:22 --> 00:35:24

that when you know Allah is Al Aleem

00:35:27 --> 00:35:28

and Al Khabeer,

00:35:29 --> 00:35:29

That's it.

00:35:30 --> 00:35:32

You're not gonna question, you're not gonna object

00:35:33 --> 00:35:36

to whatever he decrees. Why? Because his decrees,

00:35:36 --> 00:35:38

his Qadr is based on his knowledge

00:35:39 --> 00:35:40

and his hikmah,

00:35:40 --> 00:35:41

his wisdom.

00:35:43 --> 00:35:46

And so he knew that this was good

00:35:46 --> 00:35:46

for you

00:35:47 --> 00:35:50

or suitable for you even if you don't

00:35:50 --> 00:35:52

see the wisdom in it.

00:35:52 --> 00:35:53

Right?

00:35:54 --> 00:35:54

That knowledge

00:35:57 --> 00:35:58

is hidden from you.

00:36:00 --> 00:36:02

Right? So we should become content and satisfied

00:36:02 --> 00:36:04

with whatever Allah requires.

00:36:05 --> 00:36:07

The last lesson that we can mention here

00:36:09 --> 00:36:11

is that there are certain aspects of Allah's

00:36:11 --> 00:36:12

knowledge

00:36:12 --> 00:36:14

which Allah shares with his creation,

00:36:16 --> 00:36:16

right?

00:36:17 --> 00:36:19

Which is basically everything that we have knowledge

00:36:19 --> 00:36:20

of today.

00:36:20 --> 00:36:22

Now look at how advanced we have become

00:36:23 --> 00:36:23

scientifically.

00:36:26 --> 00:36:27

Look at what we have discovered in the

00:36:27 --> 00:36:28

world today

00:36:29 --> 00:36:30

that our ancestors,

00:36:31 --> 00:36:33

you know, did not know.

00:36:34 --> 00:36:34

Right?

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

Whether it be with respect to us as

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

human beings

00:36:39 --> 00:36:40

and what we know about ourselves

00:36:41 --> 00:36:43

or whether it be with respect to Allah's

00:36:43 --> 00:36:45

creation and the heavens and the

00:36:46 --> 00:36:48

stars and so on and so forth.

00:36:48 --> 00:36:50

Right? We have advanced

00:36:50 --> 00:36:51

in knowledge.

00:36:52 --> 00:36:54

This is a small amount of what Allah

00:36:54 --> 00:36:55

has shared with us from his knowledge.

00:36:58 --> 00:37:01

But the greater portion of Allah's knowledge is

00:37:01 --> 00:37:02

hidden from us.

00:37:03 --> 00:37:05

And this is something we need to understand.

00:37:07 --> 00:37:08

The majority

00:37:09 --> 00:37:10

of what we or the majority

00:37:11 --> 00:37:11

of knowledge

00:37:12 --> 00:37:13

is hidden from us.

00:37:14 --> 00:37:15

What we know is a small fraction.

00:37:18 --> 00:37:20

And unfortunately, this is something that

00:37:21 --> 00:37:23

a lot of people, they don't understand.

00:37:25 --> 00:37:27

And so you have the atheists out there

00:37:27 --> 00:37:27

today

00:37:28 --> 00:37:30

who say, we have discovered the entire universe

00:37:32 --> 00:37:34

and there's no sign of the existence of

00:37:34 --> 00:37:35

God.

00:37:35 --> 00:37:37

That's what they say.

00:37:38 --> 00:37:39

That's what they say.

00:37:41 --> 00:37:43

And so this is from their arrogance. They

00:37:43 --> 00:37:44

think we know everything now.

00:37:45 --> 00:37:46

But in reality,

00:37:47 --> 00:37:49

the knowledge we have is like Musa alaihis

00:37:49 --> 00:37:50

salam

00:37:50 --> 00:37:53

and Khidr or Khidr told Musa alaihis salam

00:37:53 --> 00:37:54

as we mentioned earlier on.

00:37:55 --> 00:37:57

And so that which we do not know,

00:37:58 --> 00:38:00

among that is the light,

00:38:01 --> 00:38:01

the unseen.

00:38:03 --> 00:38:05

And there are certain things that which Allah

00:38:05 --> 00:38:07

will never disclose to us.

00:38:08 --> 00:38:10

No matter how much we advance

00:38:11 --> 00:38:13

in knowledge, in science, etcetera, there are certain

00:38:13 --> 00:38:14

things

00:38:15 --> 00:38:17

which Allah will never share with us.

00:38:18 --> 00:38:19

And these

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

are known as

00:38:22 --> 00:38:23

Mafati Khul Ghayb,

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

the keys

00:38:25 --> 00:38:26

of the Ghayb d Ansi.

00:38:30 --> 00:38:31

As Allah says,

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

the

00:38:38 --> 00:38:40

one who has knowledge of the Ghaib and

00:38:40 --> 00:38:42

he does not disclose it to anyone.

00:38:45 --> 00:38:48

So what are these keys of the unseen?

00:38:49 --> 00:38:52

Allah mentions in Suratul Anham Wa Aindahu.

00:38:57 --> 00:38:59

Where the law belongs the keys of the

00:38:59 --> 00:39:00

unseen

00:39:00 --> 00:39:02

and nobody knows them except him.

00:39:03 --> 00:39:04

What are these keys?

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

The keys of the unseen,

00:39:09 --> 00:39:11

They're mentioned in another another ayah in the

00:39:11 --> 00:39:12

Quran.

00:39:13 --> 00:39:15

They are mentioned in another ayah in the

00:39:15 --> 00:39:15

Quran,

00:39:19 --> 00:39:20

and they are 5.

00:39:23 --> 00:39:24

They are 5.

00:39:30 --> 00:39:31

No. At the end of Suratulukman,

00:39:34 --> 00:39:34

Allah

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

says,

00:39:36 --> 00:39:37

In Allahha

00:39:37 --> 00:39:38

Indahu

00:39:38 --> 00:39:39

Al Musa'ah.

00:39:41 --> 00:39:43

To Allah belongs knowledge of the hour, meaning

00:39:44 --> 00:39:46

when will the day of judgment occur?

00:39:47 --> 00:39:47

Number 2,

00:39:51 --> 00:39:53

and he knows what is in the wombs.

00:39:58 --> 00:40:01

And what that means is even though today

00:40:01 --> 00:40:02

we can see what is in the womb,

00:40:03 --> 00:40:04

we could see the fetus.

00:40:05 --> 00:40:05

Right?

00:40:07 --> 00:40:08

We could even

00:40:08 --> 00:40:09

know what the gender is,

00:40:10 --> 00:40:11

right?

00:40:11 --> 00:40:12

But that doesn't

00:40:14 --> 00:40:16

contradict what Allah is saying here because there

00:40:16 --> 00:40:17

are certain things that we still don't know

00:40:17 --> 00:40:18

about

00:40:18 --> 00:40:19

what's happening inside

00:40:21 --> 00:40:22

and how this

00:40:22 --> 00:40:24

fetus is gonna come out.

00:40:24 --> 00:40:26

Is it gonna come out alive or dead?

00:40:26 --> 00:40:28

Is it gonna come out defective

00:40:29 --> 00:40:31

with a disease, etcetera?

00:40:31 --> 00:40:33

There are certain things we don't know about

00:40:33 --> 00:40:33

it.

00:40:34 --> 00:40:36

Allah only knows about it. And then there

00:40:36 --> 00:40:37

are certain things,

00:40:38 --> 00:40:39

about,

00:40:39 --> 00:40:41

the the fetus that we still don't know

00:40:41 --> 00:40:42

today.

00:40:42 --> 00:40:46

For example, exact exactly when the conception happens.

00:40:47 --> 00:40:49

Right? Exactly when

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

the fetus

00:40:53 --> 00:40:54

is created

00:40:57 --> 00:40:59

and so many other things. So Allah says

00:40:59 --> 00:41:00

that He knows what is in the wombs.

00:41:01 --> 00:41:01

Number 3,

00:41:08 --> 00:41:10

and no soul knows

00:41:11 --> 00:41:12

what it will earn tomorrow.

00:41:15 --> 00:41:16

Only Allah knows.

00:41:17 --> 00:41:19

You don't know if you're still gonna have

00:41:19 --> 00:41:21

a job tomorrow or not.

00:41:22 --> 00:41:23

You don't know if you're gonna

00:41:24 --> 00:41:26

have a lot of money or

00:41:26 --> 00:41:27

no money.

00:41:27 --> 00:41:29

Only Allah knows.

00:41:30 --> 00:41:31

And

00:41:32 --> 00:41:32

number

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

5,

00:41:38 --> 00:41:39

and no soul knows

00:41:40 --> 00:41:40

in which

00:41:41 --> 00:41:42

land it will die.

00:41:43 --> 00:41:45

Nobody knows where they will die or when

00:41:45 --> 00:41:48

they will die except Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:41:48 --> 00:41:48

In Allah,

00:41:49 --> 00:41:52

Alimun Khabeer. Look at how Allah ends the

00:41:52 --> 00:41:53

ayah with both names.

00:41:54 --> 00:41:55

In Allah Alimun

00:41:56 --> 00:41:56

Khabeer.

00:42:00 --> 00:42:01

There are 4?

00:42:03 --> 00:42:03

We

00:42:04 --> 00:42:05

missed 1.

00:42:10 --> 00:42:11

That's number 2.

00:42:11 --> 00:42:12

Wayunazirulukayth.

00:42:13 --> 00:42:14

And Allah

00:42:14 --> 00:42:16

sends down the rain.

00:42:16 --> 00:42:18

So again, we don't know where the rain

00:42:18 --> 00:42:20

will come or when it will come.

00:42:20 --> 00:42:21

Again,

00:42:22 --> 00:42:24

even if we're able to predict and we

00:42:24 --> 00:42:25

have forecasts,

00:42:26 --> 00:42:27

many times they're wrong and

00:42:30 --> 00:42:31

they're not

00:42:31 --> 00:42:32

100%

00:42:32 --> 00:42:33

accurate.

00:42:34 --> 00:42:35

And then

00:42:36 --> 00:42:38

even these forecasts, they can only predict

00:42:39 --> 00:42:41

up to a certain time

00:42:41 --> 00:42:42

before.

00:42:43 --> 00:42:45

They can't predict a year in advance

00:42:45 --> 00:42:47

or even a few months in advance.

00:42:48 --> 00:42:51

So this is knowledge that only Allah has

00:42:53 --> 00:42:55

and this is why whoever claims to have

00:42:55 --> 00:42:57

knowledge of the unseen, the ghayb,

00:42:58 --> 00:43:00

the scholars say whoever claims

00:43:01 --> 00:43:03

that he has knowledge of the unseen, he

00:43:03 --> 00:43:04

is a kafir.

00:43:06 --> 00:43:09

Whoever claims to have knowledge of the unseen,

00:43:09 --> 00:43:10

he's a disbeliever.

00:43:13 --> 00:43:14

And that's

00:43:14 --> 00:43:16

why Allah tells the Prophet

00:43:18 --> 00:43:20

to declare that he has no knowledge of

00:43:20 --> 00:43:21

Yonseem,

00:43:21 --> 00:43:23

right? And yet this is

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

Muhammad

00:43:26 --> 00:43:28

If he doesn't have that knowledge,

00:43:29 --> 00:43:30

then no one else can.

00:43:32 --> 00:43:33

Allah says to him,

00:43:47 --> 00:43:49

If I had known the unseen,

00:43:50 --> 00:43:52

Allah is saying to the prophet tell them,

00:43:52 --> 00:43:53

O Muhammad,

00:43:53 --> 00:43:55

if I had knowledge of the unseen,

00:43:55 --> 00:43:57

I would have benefited myself

00:43:58 --> 00:43:59

enormously.

00:44:00 --> 00:44:01

Meaning if I knew the future,

00:44:03 --> 00:44:05

you know, I would plan my way for

00:44:05 --> 00:44:06

the future,

00:44:06 --> 00:44:07

Right?

00:44:07 --> 00:44:10

And no harm would ever have touched me.

00:44:11 --> 00:44:12

If I knew the future,

00:44:12 --> 00:44:15

then I'll be able to avoid any harm.

00:44:16 --> 00:44:19

But yet even he sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:44:19 --> 00:44:20

went through

00:44:21 --> 00:44:22

different kinds of hardships.

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

Right?

00:44:25 --> 00:44:27

If he knew the MC, he would have

00:44:27 --> 00:44:28

been able to avoid those hardships.

00:44:31 --> 00:44:33

Alright, so we move on after that to

00:44:33 --> 00:44:34

the next three names.

00:44:38 --> 00:44:40

And these next three names

00:44:41 --> 00:44:42

refer to

00:44:43 --> 00:44:45

Allah's watchful sight

00:44:45 --> 00:44:46

over everything.

00:44:47 --> 00:44:49

The watchful sight

00:44:49 --> 00:44:51

of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala over

00:44:52 --> 00:44:52

everything.

00:44:56 --> 00:44:58

And these are Al Basir,

00:44:59 --> 00:45:00

a Shaheed

00:45:02 --> 00:45:02

and a raqid.

00:45:04 --> 00:45:06

Al Basir, a shahid and a raqid.

00:45:07 --> 00:45:08

As for al Basir,

00:45:10 --> 00:45:11

it has been mentioned

00:45:11 --> 00:45:13

42 times in the Quran.

00:45:14 --> 00:45:15

Al Basir,

00:45:15 --> 00:45:17

which means the one who sees

00:45:17 --> 00:45:18

Allah sees.

00:45:20 --> 00:45:22

It has been mentioned numerous times in the

00:45:22 --> 00:45:22

Quran.

00:45:25 --> 00:45:27

Innuwaha bi matalamaloon

00:45:27 --> 00:45:28

abasir

00:45:28 --> 00:45:30

Allahu basirum bi matalamaloon

00:45:31 --> 00:45:33

Allah sees everything you do.

00:45:34 --> 00:45:35

Allah

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

sees

00:45:38 --> 00:45:39

what the servants are doing,

00:45:40 --> 00:45:40

etcetera.

00:45:42 --> 00:45:43

As for a shahid,

00:45:44 --> 00:45:46

it has been mentioned 18 times in the

00:45:46 --> 00:45:47

Quran.

00:45:48 --> 00:45:50

A shahid, which means

00:45:52 --> 00:45:54

the one who witnesses everything.

00:45:58 --> 00:45:59

And as for

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

Ar Raqib,

00:46:02 --> 00:46:04

it has only been mentioned

00:46:04 --> 00:46:06

3 times in the Quran.

00:46:08 --> 00:46:10

Ar Raqib has been mentioned 3 times in

00:46:10 --> 00:46:10

the Quran.

00:46:11 --> 00:46:13

For example, Allah says, In Allah Haqqani alaykum

00:46:14 --> 00:46:15

raqibah.

00:46:16 --> 00:46:17

And so Ar Raqib

00:46:18 --> 00:46:20

is the one who observes.

00:46:24 --> 00:46:26

And so these names, what do they mean?

00:46:27 --> 00:46:30

They basically teach us that Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:46:30 --> 00:46:32

Ta'ala is the one who sees

00:46:32 --> 00:46:35

and watches everything there is to see and

00:46:35 --> 00:46:36

watch.

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

No matter how small,

00:46:39 --> 00:46:41

no matter how minute it may be,

00:46:41 --> 00:46:43

he is the one who sees

00:46:44 --> 00:46:45

the movement.

00:46:46 --> 00:46:48

As a scholar say, he is the one

00:46:48 --> 00:46:49

who sees the movement

00:46:49 --> 00:46:51

of a black ant

00:46:51 --> 00:46:52

on a black rock

00:46:53 --> 00:46:55

in a pitch dark night.

00:46:57 --> 00:46:59

He is the one who sees the apparent

00:46:59 --> 00:47:00

and the hidden.

00:47:02 --> 00:47:04

He is the one who sees both material

00:47:04 --> 00:47:05

and non material,

00:47:06 --> 00:47:08

that which is seen and that which is

00:47:08 --> 00:47:09

unseen by others.

00:47:11 --> 00:47:12

And so for us human beings, no matter

00:47:12 --> 00:47:13

how much we

00:47:14 --> 00:47:15

advance

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

scientifically,

00:47:18 --> 00:47:20

We're only gonna be able to observe

00:47:21 --> 00:47:21

and see

00:47:23 --> 00:47:24

the material world,

00:47:25 --> 00:47:26

right?

00:47:27 --> 00:47:29

How about the non material world?

00:47:31 --> 00:47:32

The angels,

00:47:33 --> 00:47:34

the jinn,

00:47:35 --> 00:47:36

Shayal Bin,

00:47:37 --> 00:47:39

our own ruh, our own soul.

00:47:41 --> 00:47:43

These are non material

00:47:44 --> 00:47:45

and this is where

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

science

00:47:47 --> 00:47:49

comes to an end.

00:47:50 --> 00:47:50

Right?

00:47:51 --> 00:47:51

So

00:47:53 --> 00:47:56

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala can see everything

00:47:57 --> 00:48:00

that which is material, that which is non

00:48:00 --> 00:48:01

material, that which is

00:48:02 --> 00:48:04

seen by us and that which is unseen

00:48:04 --> 00:48:05

by us. Allah

00:48:06 --> 00:48:09

sees everything clearly without any difficulty.

00:48:10 --> 00:48:12

He is the one who sees and watches

00:48:12 --> 00:48:13

every single

00:48:14 --> 00:48:15

thing all at once

00:48:16 --> 00:48:18

without becoming distracted

00:48:19 --> 00:48:21

by seeing one thing

00:48:22 --> 00:48:23

and ignoring another.

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

Right?

00:48:29 --> 00:48:31

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala sees everything

00:48:34 --> 00:48:35

and he is different

00:48:35 --> 00:48:37

than us in that sense.

00:48:37 --> 00:48:39

Where if you're looking at one thing, you

00:48:39 --> 00:48:41

cannot see something else. You'll have to ignore

00:48:41 --> 00:48:42

something else.

00:48:43 --> 00:48:44

But that is not the case with Allah

00:48:44 --> 00:48:45

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:48:48 --> 00:48:51

And so this is what these three names

00:48:51 --> 00:48:52

mean. Al Basir

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

is the one who

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

sees.

00:48:55 --> 00:48:56

As for a shayid,

00:48:56 --> 00:48:58

as we said, it means the one who

00:48:58 --> 00:48:59

witnesses.

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

So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

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

he

00:49:05 --> 00:49:05

witnesses

00:49:06 --> 00:49:08

everything there is to witness in his creation

00:49:10 --> 00:49:12

and there is nothing hidden

00:49:13 --> 00:49:14

from

00:49:14 --> 00:49:16

his sight and his knowledge.

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

And

00:49:21 --> 00:49:23

this this name, Ashaheed also means

00:49:23 --> 00:49:25

that he will be the ultimate witness

00:49:26 --> 00:49:27

from the day of judgment.

00:49:28 --> 00:49:30

He'll be the ultimate witness on the day

00:49:30 --> 00:49:31

of judgment.

00:49:32 --> 00:49:33

As for Aratib,

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

it means the one who observes,

00:49:38 --> 00:49:39

the one who observes

00:49:40 --> 00:49:42

or the one who watches over.

00:49:43 --> 00:49:45

So he is the one who watches over

00:49:45 --> 00:49:45

us

00:49:47 --> 00:49:49

and what we do at all times,

00:49:50 --> 00:49:51

which includes

00:49:52 --> 00:49:53

not only our physical actions

00:49:55 --> 00:49:55

but also

00:49:56 --> 00:49:57

our inner thoughts

00:49:58 --> 00:49:59

and our feelings.

00:50:01 --> 00:50:03

Allah observes all of that.

00:50:06 --> 00:50:08

And so this is the meaning. These are

00:50:08 --> 00:50:10

the meanings of these three names. We move

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

on to

00:50:11 --> 00:50:13

the lessons that we learn from these names.

00:50:14 --> 00:50:15

Number 1

00:50:17 --> 00:50:19

concerning Allah's name Al Basir,

00:50:20 --> 00:50:23

part of our iman, Azahir Sunn wal Jama'ah,

00:50:23 --> 00:50:25

is that Allah's sight

00:50:26 --> 00:50:28

is with his 2 eyes.

00:50:32 --> 00:50:33

Allah has 2 eyes

00:50:34 --> 00:50:36

as is authentically

00:50:38 --> 00:50:39

established

00:50:40 --> 00:50:42

based on Ayat of the Quran and

00:50:43 --> 00:50:44

the Hadith of the Prophet

00:50:47 --> 00:50:47

However,

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

when we say this,

00:50:51 --> 00:50:52

we add here.

00:50:53 --> 00:50:55

What do we add here? We say

00:50:55 --> 00:50:58

Allah sees with his two eyes in a

00:50:58 --> 00:50:59

manner befitting himself

00:51:00 --> 00:51:02

that is unknown to us.

00:51:03 --> 00:51:04

We don't know how.

00:51:05 --> 00:51:07

We don't know how Allah's eyes are. We

00:51:07 --> 00:51:09

don't know how Allah sees with his eyes.

00:51:09 --> 00:51:11

We simply say

00:51:11 --> 00:51:13

Allah sees with his 2 eyes and that's

00:51:13 --> 00:51:13

it.

00:51:14 --> 00:51:15

We don't delve into

00:51:20 --> 00:51:22

it. And to prove that Allah has 2

00:51:22 --> 00:51:24

eyes, what did the Prophet

00:51:24 --> 00:51:24

say?

00:51:29 --> 00:51:30

The prophet

00:51:33 --> 00:51:34

says

00:51:43 --> 00:51:44

Every prophet

00:51:44 --> 00:51:45

warned his Ummah

00:51:46 --> 00:51:46

from

00:51:48 --> 00:51:48

from who?

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

The one eyed liar.

00:51:52 --> 00:51:54

Who is the one eyed liar?

00:51:55 --> 00:51:55

At Dajjal.

00:51:56 --> 00:51:57

And then the prophet

00:51:58 --> 00:51:58

says,

00:52:02 --> 00:52:05

and your Lord is not one eyed.

00:52:08 --> 00:52:10

What does that mean?

00:52:10 --> 00:52:12

It means he has 2

00:52:13 --> 00:52:14

eyes.

00:52:14 --> 00:52:15

Right?

00:52:15 --> 00:52:17

It means he has 2 eyes.

00:52:19 --> 00:52:20

Number 2,

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

the greatest lesson that we learned from these

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

names

00:52:25 --> 00:52:26

is

00:52:27 --> 00:52:29

that they should cause 1

00:52:30 --> 00:52:33

to have the sense of the muraqabah of

00:52:33 --> 00:52:33

Allah

00:52:35 --> 00:52:36

or

00:52:37 --> 00:52:38

him watching over us.

00:52:40 --> 00:52:40

His surveillance.

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

Right?

00:52:44 --> 00:52:46

When we know that we are being watched

00:52:46 --> 00:52:47

by Allah,

00:52:48 --> 00:52:50

we wouldn't dare disobey him

00:52:51 --> 00:52:52

out of fear

00:52:53 --> 00:52:54

of his punishment.

00:52:56 --> 00:52:58

Whether we are in public or whether we

00:52:58 --> 00:52:59

are in private.

00:53:02 --> 00:53:03

And so imagine

00:53:04 --> 00:53:05

if we had

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

surveillance

00:53:07 --> 00:53:07

cameras

00:53:09 --> 00:53:10

following us

00:53:12 --> 00:53:13

at all times.

00:53:14 --> 00:53:16

Your every move is recorded

00:53:17 --> 00:53:18

with these cameras.

00:53:20 --> 00:53:22

If you knew that you have these cameras

00:53:22 --> 00:53:23

watching you

00:53:25 --> 00:53:26

and that

00:53:26 --> 00:53:28

everyone has access to them,

00:53:29 --> 00:53:31

you wouldn't dare do certain things.

00:53:32 --> 00:53:35

Why? Out of fear of being disgraced

00:53:36 --> 00:53:38

and humiliated by people who are gonna see

00:53:38 --> 00:53:38

us,

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

Right?

00:53:40 --> 00:53:41

So how about Allah?

00:53:43 --> 00:53:45

How about Allah who is Al Basir,

00:53:46 --> 00:53:47

Al Shaheed,

00:53:48 --> 00:53:49

and Al Raqib?

00:54:04 --> 00:54:05

I mentioned the hadith.

00:54:07 --> 00:54:09

It's in Bukhari and Muslim. The hadith of

00:54:09 --> 00:54:10

Al Adjal.

00:54:19 --> 00:54:21

Yeah. So what did I just say?

00:54:21 --> 00:54:24

I said Allah has eyes, but we don't

00:54:24 --> 00:54:25

know how they are.

00:54:25 --> 00:54:28

Right? We don't know how they are. We

00:54:28 --> 00:54:29

shouldn't even imagine.

00:54:30 --> 00:54:30

Right?

00:54:31 --> 00:54:32

Because

00:54:32 --> 00:54:34

Allah and all of his

00:54:34 --> 00:54:35

characteristics,

00:54:36 --> 00:54:38

there is no comparison between

00:54:38 --> 00:54:40

that and human beings.

00:54:40 --> 00:54:42

So Allah also has hands.

00:54:43 --> 00:54:44

Allah has a face. But

00:54:46 --> 00:54:48

how are they? We don't know.

00:54:49 --> 00:54:51

For sure. For sure

00:54:51 --> 00:54:52

they are not

00:54:53 --> 00:54:53

like

00:54:54 --> 00:54:55

that of human beings.

00:54:57 --> 00:54:59

Place a community, he shaykh. There is nothing

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

like him.

00:55:00 --> 00:55:02

We cannot even imagine

00:55:03 --> 00:55:04

how he is.

00:55:04 --> 00:55:06

But as long as Allah says

00:55:07 --> 00:55:08

that he has

00:55:09 --> 00:55:11

hands or face or eyes, then we accept

00:55:11 --> 00:55:12

it.

00:55:13 --> 00:55:14

We don't reject.

00:55:15 --> 00:55:16

So in the Quran,

00:55:16 --> 00:55:17

what does Allah say?

00:55:24 --> 00:55:25

Allah says to the prophet,

00:55:26 --> 00:55:27

so be patient

00:55:28 --> 00:55:29

with

00:55:29 --> 00:55:31

the decree of your Lord

00:55:32 --> 00:55:33

for you are truly

00:55:34 --> 00:55:35

under our watchful

00:55:35 --> 00:55:36

eyes.

00:55:37 --> 00:55:39

You are under our watchful eyes.

00:55:40 --> 00:55:42

Is this eye and the hand, is it

00:55:42 --> 00:55:45

more of symbolic for humans to understand? Like,

00:55:45 --> 00:55:47

because humans see perceive something

00:55:47 --> 00:55:49

like, seeing something with eyes. They cannot perceive

00:55:49 --> 00:55:50

something without

00:55:59 --> 00:56:00

No, we don't say that anything in the

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

Quran is symbolic

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

because

00:56:04 --> 00:56:07

if you do that, then you're then that

00:56:07 --> 00:56:09

opens up the door to interpret

00:56:09 --> 00:56:11

many other things that are mentioned in the

00:56:11 --> 00:56:12

Quran as being symbolic.

00:56:13 --> 00:56:15

And this is a mistake that many,

00:56:16 --> 00:56:17

early sects they fell into.

00:56:18 --> 00:56:20

They started interpreting the Quran through

00:56:21 --> 00:56:21

metaphorical

00:56:22 --> 00:56:22

language

00:56:23 --> 00:56:24

and symbolism.

00:56:25 --> 00:56:26

They said

00:56:26 --> 00:56:28

to the point where they said, even salah

00:56:28 --> 00:56:30

is not the salah that we pray

00:56:31 --> 00:56:33

And fasting is not the fasting that we

00:56:33 --> 00:56:34

do.

00:56:34 --> 00:56:36

All these are symbolic things.

00:56:36 --> 00:56:39

They said even Jannah, the hellfire are symbolic.

00:56:39 --> 00:56:40

They're not real.

00:56:40 --> 00:56:43

Right? So when it comes to

00:56:44 --> 00:56:47

the Quran, we interpret it as it is.

00:56:48 --> 00:56:49

And we don't say that

00:56:49 --> 00:56:51

this has a metaphorical meaning.

00:56:53 --> 00:56:55

And that goes also with Allah

00:56:55 --> 00:56:57

Allah's names and attributes.

00:56:58 --> 00:56:59

Anyways, it's a long discussion,

00:57:01 --> 00:57:02

that will leave for another time, Insha'Allah.

00:57:04 --> 00:57:04

Alright.

00:57:05 --> 00:57:06

The third lesson that we learned

00:57:07 --> 00:57:07

is

00:57:08 --> 00:57:09

that these names,

00:57:11 --> 00:57:13

they should also help us to have Ikhlas

00:57:15 --> 00:57:16

in our Ibadah

00:57:17 --> 00:57:18

and help us to perfect

00:57:19 --> 00:57:20

our Ibadah

00:57:21 --> 00:57:23

and to worship Allah with Ihsan.

00:57:24 --> 00:57:25

What is Ihsan?

00:57:28 --> 00:57:29

Doing something

00:57:30 --> 00:57:31

with excellence and,

00:57:33 --> 00:57:36

with God. Yeah. So doing something perfectly

00:57:37 --> 00:57:38

at the highest level.

00:57:39 --> 00:57:41

And when it comes to Allah's worship,

00:57:42 --> 00:57:46

that was defined by the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi

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

Wasallam.

00:57:47 --> 00:57:50

When he he was asked what is Ihsan?

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

He said,

00:57:58 --> 00:58:00

To worship Allah as if you can see

00:58:00 --> 00:58:00

Him.

00:58:01 --> 00:58:03

But if you cannot see Him,

00:58:03 --> 00:58:05

then know that He sees you.

00:58:06 --> 00:58:08

So one of the greatest lessons that we

00:58:08 --> 00:58:11

learned from these names of Allah is

00:58:11 --> 00:58:14

that when you learn Allah is watching you

00:58:14 --> 00:58:14

at every time,

00:58:16 --> 00:58:18

at all times, this includes when you're worshiping

00:58:18 --> 00:58:19

Allah.

00:58:21 --> 00:58:23

So when you're standing there and you're praying,

00:58:25 --> 00:58:26

although you cannot see Allah,

00:58:28 --> 00:58:30

you have to realize he is watching you.

00:58:31 --> 00:58:33

So imagine if you were standing before Allah

00:58:33 --> 00:58:36

physically present in front of Allah. How would

00:58:36 --> 00:58:37

you worship Allah?

00:58:38 --> 00:58:40

You would do it with Ihsan.

00:58:41 --> 00:58:42

You would do it perfectly.

00:58:43 --> 00:58:45

You would be fully focused.

00:58:46 --> 00:58:48

You would know what you're doing. You would

00:58:48 --> 00:58:49

know what you're saying.

00:58:49 --> 00:58:51

Unfortunately, many of us,

00:58:52 --> 00:58:53

we don't do it in that way

00:58:54 --> 00:58:55

because we are lacking

00:58:56 --> 00:58:57

in these meanings

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

and we forget that Allah is watching us.

00:59:04 --> 00:59:06

The 4th lesson that we learn

00:59:07 --> 00:59:09

is that one of the meanings of

00:59:10 --> 00:59:11

a shahid

00:59:12 --> 00:59:12

is

00:59:13 --> 00:59:15

that Uwa will be a shahid,

00:59:15 --> 00:59:17

a witness on the day of judgment.

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

This should

00:59:20 --> 00:59:20

make

00:59:21 --> 00:59:23

one to be cautious of wronging others

00:59:25 --> 00:59:28

because Allah will judge us on that day

00:59:28 --> 00:59:30

and he will be sufficient as a witness.

00:59:31 --> 00:59:32

Allah will be sufficient

00:59:33 --> 00:59:34

as a witness.

00:59:35 --> 00:59:37

Yes, there will be many witnesses on the

00:59:37 --> 00:59:38

day of judgment,

00:59:39 --> 00:59:40

including our own selves.

00:59:42 --> 00:59:44

But the greatest witness without adult is Allah

00:59:44 --> 00:59:45

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:59:46 --> 00:59:47

As Allah says,

00:59:52 --> 00:59:54

Inallah Allah will judge between them on the

00:59:54 --> 00:59:55

day of judgment.

00:59:55 --> 00:59:56

Inallah

00:59:57 --> 00:59:58

Anakulishayim

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

Shaheed,

00:59:59 --> 01:00:02

verily Allah is a witness over all things.

01:00:02 --> 01:00:04

Finally, the last lesson that we'll mention,

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

knowing that Allah

01:00:09 --> 01:00:10

is watching us

01:00:11 --> 01:00:12

should make us feel

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

a sense of peace and

01:00:16 --> 01:00:16

you know,

01:00:17 --> 01:00:18

a sense of security,

01:00:19 --> 01:00:20

not worrying about

01:00:21 --> 01:00:21

others,

01:00:22 --> 01:00:24

not worrying about our enemies

01:00:25 --> 01:00:26

and what they may do to us.

01:00:27 --> 01:00:28

Right?

01:00:30 --> 01:00:32

And this is what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

01:00:32 --> 01:00:33

would remind

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

the prophets

01:00:36 --> 01:00:36

with.

01:00:39 --> 01:00:41

Throughout the Quran, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala would

01:00:41 --> 01:00:42

remind the prophets.

01:00:44 --> 01:00:44

For example,

01:00:46 --> 01:00:47

Musa and Harun.

01:00:56 --> 01:00:59

When Allah told Musa and Harun, go to

01:00:59 --> 01:01:00

Firaun, give him Dawah.

01:01:01 --> 01:01:01

They said,

01:01:02 --> 01:01:04

You Rabb, we're afraid of him and what

01:01:04 --> 01:01:06

he's gonna do to us. What did Allah

01:01:06 --> 01:01:07

say? Reminding them,

01:01:14 --> 01:01:15

Do not fear

01:01:15 --> 01:01:17

for indeed I am with you

01:01:17 --> 01:01:19

watching you,

01:01:20 --> 01:01:21

hearing and watching.

01:01:23 --> 01:01:25

And Allah says to his prophet, as

01:01:30 --> 01:01:30

we mentioned.

01:01:31 --> 01:01:33

So be patient, Allah says to the prophet,

01:01:34 --> 01:01:34

be patient

01:01:35 --> 01:01:37

with the decree of your Lord for you

01:01:37 --> 01:01:39

are under our watchful eyes.

01:01:40 --> 01:01:42

You don't have to worry about anything.

01:01:42 --> 01:01:44

Don't worry about your enemies.

01:01:45 --> 01:01:46

Don't fear them

01:01:48 --> 01:01:48

because

01:01:50 --> 01:01:52

we are watching everything and we're gonna take

01:01:52 --> 01:01:52

care of you.

01:01:54 --> 01:01:56

But this is for the true believers,

01:01:58 --> 01:01:59

the true believers

01:02:00 --> 01:02:03

who deserve that protection of Allah.

01:02:04 --> 01:02:06

And so as long as you

01:02:07 --> 01:02:09

are complying with the commands of Allah and

01:02:09 --> 01:02:11

staying away from his disobedience,

01:02:12 --> 01:02:14

then yes, you have every right to feel

01:02:14 --> 01:02:14

like that.

01:02:19 --> 01:02:21

And you only feel like that because you

01:02:21 --> 01:02:22

know who Allah is,

01:02:23 --> 01:02:24

that He is the one who is watching

01:02:24 --> 01:02:26

you and He'll keep you safe. We ask

01:02:26 --> 01:02:27

Allah

01:02:29 --> 01:02:29

to

01:02:30 --> 01:02:32

grant us that safety and security.

01:02:33 --> 01:02:34

And with that, we conclude.

01:02:45 --> 01:02:46

Thank you very much.
