Karim Abuzaid – Can we see Allah in this World

			Bismillah Alhamdulillah Welcome to the deen show Peace be with you. I'm your host Thank you for
tuning in. We have back in the deen show studio with us Shay Karim and we're gonna be answering some
of your questions here on the deen show. We'll be right back
		

			this is the
		

			please be with your salaam aleikum wa equals Salaam wa
		

			Alhamdulillah. All Praise be to Allah subhana wa tada you know, many people that are out there are
tuning they want to know, because it's all over the news. You know, it's not Muslims and a lot of
false things been attributed to Islam. So they heard an Arabic word Allah, can you go ahead and
define you know what a law means? Because some people think that there's some foreign God that the
Muslims worship, who's Allah? Well, let me start with by saying that we have out of Christians and
Arab Jews. And we have the Old Testament and the New Testament in Arabic. You know that right? The
viewers know that.
		

			Guess what, and the first page in the book of Genesis, the Old Testament and the Arabic version,
Allah was used 17 times 17 times Allah, Allah.
		

			This is how we fear to kill that argument. Yes, we Yeah. without even having to go over Suzanne Cree
who speak Arabic Read Arabic. Yeah. allows us allows us they know who Allah is not not nothing, not
not Jesus. Not Jehovah. Jehovah, not but Allah. No, that's it. And it's in the place of God with a
capital G.
		

			Not with a small g with a capital G. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. That's amazing. I mean, you you also you do
some I've seen some of your, your debates dialogues with people of different religions as
Christians. So I'm sure you're also well versed as a comparative student, also, of different
religions a little bit, right. I strive. We strive to learn because, you know, we want the knowledge
Have you seen anywhere else? That because, you know, to find the truth, some people make it seem
like it's so difficult, like, all these religions are making the claim. But have you ever just with
this one point, seen anywhere in the Bible or any Hindus or anywhere that the Creator is making
		

			himself known? So clearly saying, like we have in the Quran where Allah says, I am your Creator, I'm
a law. I created you, this universe and everything in it. it's crystal clear. Do you see anything
like that? Absolutely. I mean, there are some, if you approach any scriptural text, with any
preconceived notions, yeah, you could always manipulate the text. But listen, token about people
being gods
		

			are attributing divinity to people. That's how we like to put it. For example, Jesus alayhis salam
peace be upon him, the Messenger of Allah. Listen, Jesus was born. This is just one fact. Allah has
no beginning. Who will?
		

			He is the first laser kubla Hoshi none existed before him and amazing Subhanallah This is the first
paragraph in the book of Genesis In the beginning it was God that begin when you say that somebody
is born, for example, like Jesus or any other human being.
		

			That means he has a birthday. That's why I when I speak to Christians, I tell them God doesn't have
a birthday. That's real deep, right? Yeah. Just think about it. He doesn't have a birthday. Another
one right away is the fact that and this is this argument was actually addressed in the Quran. Look
at this many mercy hug No. moriyama Allah Rasool Allah subhanho wa salaamu.
		

			Kula No.
		

			Look, look, the messenger, that Messiah the Messiah. Is Jesus peace be upon him. Came is a messenger
came in a chain of messengers, after Moses Jani. And his mother is a truthful woman. Look at this.
They used to eat food
		

			for them to survive. This is in the Quran. Now in the Quran. Do you need food? Yes, that means they
need to sleep. That means they need they do need. God is free of need.
		

			Bathroom now that's really deep if you think about it.
		

			Yeah, I mean this is but Allah made clear food and free of leads. Yeah, they needed to sleep. They
needed to sleep a lot of them sleep. Allahu La Ilaha Illa What are you lead? Who do who say no to
Nola? No. Yeah, there is an author is really one of the Israelites which we do not believe we do not
belie. There are things that we get from the People of the Book from the Christian and the Jews who
accepted Islam and they bring some of the teachings into Islam. As long as it's not contradictory to
our teachings. We do not believe it, we do not realize it, and we could not read it. That Prophet
Musa alayhis salam asked Allah subhana wa Taala this question, how come Oh Allah, you do not sleep.
		

			So Allah subhana wa Taala wanted him to experience something. They say they stand up and he had him
hold an object in his head. Stand up until I tell you to sit up and hold this hold. Yeah, yes, he
stood up. You could try this at home right now. Right? Yeah, he can try this right now. A slumber of
asleep. overtake it over to him. So he's standing up? Yes. holding something a cup of coffee is even
a cup that weighs three ounces. Try it. Even the lightest, even the lightest, a slumber of asleep
overtook him what happened to the object? He said by my mind, by my glory, if a slumber for sleep
would overtake me, the heavens would crumble on earth. And this is in the Quran in Allahumma su casa
		

			now it will have the antigen, what Yun Susannah and the levy and he is holding the heavens not to
fall down on Earth, the creator, the creator, except with His permission, which is in reference you
can't say that God created the the the heavens and earth and six day and then rested on the seventh
goes back what you're saying, you see AD AD. We are. I think this is what draws the line between us
and Christian and Jews. You see Christians, Jews, Muslims, they speak of a God, but we differ on the
concept who is the concern? You see, for me as a Muslim to say Allah has tested her. Number one in
the viewers, we need to know that in Surah Kahf, Allah subhana wa Taala dismissed this totally. And
		

			he actually said do not say that while look at the verse in Surah Kahf while Hakuna Sana what you
will have the honor that you know who Murphy said that the I am in one and a tsunami loop. Indeed I
have created the we have created the heavens and the earth in six days and what's in between them in
six days. And no fatigue touched on it. That's the word mess Center, the beginning of fatigue. Now
if you say Allah rested, that means you're saying Allah gets tired,
		

			be careful. We as Muslims, we do not use these terms with Allah subhanho wa Taala we're very
disciplined. Even when we negate things regarding Allah Subhana Allah, we only negate that which
Allah negated. I cannot say for example, as a Muslim, Allah doesn't walk in the street while edible
and I'm just doing this for Allah forgive me, I'm just doing this for the sake of education. I
cannot say Allah doesn't go to the demo. I cannot say that. I only say negative. I say Allah is not
blind. One I mean law is not one is in the law, he lays it out because it was established. So I
negate and affirm the names and the attributes which are negated and affirmed in the revelation.
		

			We're very disciplined once we talk about Allah Subhana Allah and that's what draws the line between
us and so nothing is said about the creator that he didn't say about himself so you can't make up
things according to your fantasies because logically you haven't seen him Have you seen him? So
pinata? No, no one no one can so how in the world do you speak? What are you here to never say?
		

			Be Masha, how in the world? You see there are two elements here. element number one that you have
not seen Allah and no one can. So how in the world can you describe someone who you have not seen?
Okay, number two, there is none like him. So that you can use as a major Yani there is none like him
in the world. His he's not like his creations. His creations are not like him. So you cannot say
okay, I'm gonna describe that creation because it looks like Allah. So those two elements are there.
So you have to stick to what to what is what is b? Not look look. So you're sure that no one's seen
guy? No one can no one can see Got you. Sure? Absolutely. Okay, you heard what he said. Because
		

			there's some people saying it it's all got this and we're gonna be right back to answer this
question.
		

			We got it. We will be right back. We'll be right back to ask this question about Have you really
seen God Some people say that have we read back here on the show? I want you to imagine you wake up
and in front of you are about
		

			You guys running around, kicking a ball? No goals, no lines, no rules. What would you think?
		

			But is that your life? Surely every sport has its goal. Every game has its end. It has its
objective, it has its rules. How about life? How about our life? Isn't there a goal to life? Isn't
there a purpose and objective that we have to reach? We think so. The Quran tells us that we exist
in order to worship God and worshiping God means knowing God as the core answers. When the HELOC
tool general insert Isla Leah Buddha worship, though, is not some narrow, small thing. It's wide.
It's vast, it encompasses everything that the human being does. Everything that you do everything
that you think everything that you feel, can be done for said, felt in a way that is either pleasing
		

			or displeasing to God, the purpose of life is to try and do everything in a way that God loves and
God is pleased with. That is your goal.
		

			Back here on the deen show, and we're talking about a very important issue that you know, talking
about the creator without knowledge is something that we don't do. So we have the verbatim Word of
God God Almighty sent revelation throughout time. And the last and final revelation is the previous
revelations were sent. We believe in the original Torah, the original NGO gospel that was given to
Jesus peace be upon what was given to David of the Psalms, but these scriptures over time, they got
corrupted, change. So God sent the last and final revelation to Qur'an. So when we get to talking to
people, you know, when we do, then we give the invitation Islam is based on proof and evidences and
		

			we talk to people and we explain to them that Jesus, he never claimed divinity, nor did he talk
Trinity, or calling people to worship himself alongside with God. And then it goes back and forth.
And some people will say, and this goes back to what you were saying, they say, look, God spoke to
me. He spoke to my heart, I saw him in a dream. So you said that no one saw God but they said those
people and I've talked to him myself personally gonna answer this in a very interesting way. Go
ahead. You know, we believe that there is a character who will emerge right before the Second Coming
of our office, a solid, solid Prophet, Jesus, which is the Antichrist,
		

			the Antichrist, his initial emerging, emergence into emerging into earth, He will claim to be a
prophet and then finally he will say, I am God. Now, you know, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam made a very interesting comment when you say Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam. Now you talk
about the last final question. Yes. Okay. Yes. When the Prophet Allah was talking to his companions,
warning them about the Antichrist, he made that statement, you know, what they said, Alamo and
nakulan, Corona, Rebecca Matata mo to the hurricane Elena Muslim, rest assured that you will never
be able to see Allah unless you die, or until you die. So look at this now, the fact look at this
		

			now at the fact that the Antichrist is saying He is Allah, and you're still in this world. This is
the first argument or the first point that that that dismisses the fact that he's got that I'm able
to see you.
		

			The fact that I'm able to see you and you're supposed to be God, because I'm not supposed to see you
in this world act to this is the defect in his face. You're the Creator. And you made me with two
eyes, and you only have one eye. go fix your eye man. I mean, come on, you made me better than you.
So the creation is better than the Creator. After this, we have a very interesting experiment. Which
Prophet Musa alayhis salam went through, and it was recorded in Surah t RF or adna. Musetta Latina,
a Latin word Magna
		

			Carta or binary the meaning of moosari salam, O Allah subhanaw taala
		

			the children of Israel By the way, the Jews during the time because they lived in Egypt so many
times and the Egyptians used to worship idols they got contaminated by this the need to see God so
they kept asking Musashi Salaam we will not believe unless we were padula not minella cotton our
logic of saying the Moses yeah to Moses at a salon that we will not believe what you're conveying
unless we see a lot lately. So Prophet Musa and in a way when Allah was speaking to him, Allah Allah
Masha Allah Mussolini Katana Kala be areni under a lake. Oh Allah can you make me see you
		

			torani you're not going to be able to because the way that we're fashion ad that our body cannot
handle it. The greatness of Allah subhanaw taala you just cannot be
		

			absorb the look of it No, no, no, that there is a veil between us and Allah if Allah removes that
that veil does not prevent him from seeing and hearing us Be careful.
		

			Hadith masala Sharia and the Muslim in Allah Allah and while I am barilla Nina Allah does not sleep
and sleep and it's not befitting for him to sleep your hospital Christopher fall he lowers people
who put down people, your father your ama lab lab and in our our these are presented to him at night
before the day and the day before the night. Hey Jabu No, there is a veil between him and his
courage. Low kashia who if that veil is removed, everything will burn.
		

			Everything will burn for imagine this. But again, be careful that veil does not prevent a lot from
hearing and seeing what what do you tell someone now let's say our brothers in humanity, the
Christian
		

			Moser quickly in a minute or so allotted to me you're not going to be able to learn torani But
listen, if you want to try this, let's do it. Well, epi number Ll Jabba the mountain is if you've
been to Sinai of into Sinai, the mountains there are out of this world. I mean, huge mountains
Ravasi you look at this mountain, I'm going to descend on this mountain. Of course, we believe that
a lot of sense and in a way that fits his majesty, we do not reject the attribute of descending like
people do. But we do not try to liken it to our descending. Lord, we try to visualize it or figure
out how he descends later. Second cliche and at the end of the world. laya Lmk. For law, Elon Musk,
		

			define that word is the only one who knows how Allah is Allah subhanaw taala no one is like Allah
Subhana Allah that nothing resembles nothing that resembles him. No rival resembles him. No one is
like him. And so so we believe that Allah subhanho wa Taala he descends in a certain way, how he
descends, I don't know. But I believe he descends. Should I strive to No, no, you should not. But
you must believe that He deserves. So Allah subhanaw taala descended on the top of this mountain.
Guess what happened to the mountain? crumbled? We cannot see. What would you say to our brothers in
humanity who say the Christians many or many others who say look that Jesus came to me in a drink
		

			God came to me in a dream and told me to do things this way. What do you say you know, those ad who
say that we we see in Allah we seen the message. I don't want to get into whether they saw or not.
That's whether they even believe or not, whether they had will do or not, whether they pray five
times or not, we could go attack the issue tackle the issue from there. But let's say that, that you
seen a dream. Our Messengers told us Hi, this is Phil Phil bahariya Muslim that dream belongs to one
of the following three categories whether it is howdy to nefs something that you're consumed with
you're thinking all the day about
		

			you know, ice cream,
		

			it just you're consumed with it. You could see ice cream in your dream at night, had it because
something, something that you're thinking about all the time your Nemesis is attached all the time,
then you dream of it at night. Number two is from shaitan that shaitan comes and the devil now the
devil yes Satan and that comes actually and reveals things do to scare you. Number three is from
Allah Jani. It could be from Allah Subhana Allah. But let's say that you saw in your dream that
someone telling you 80 you don't have to pray anymore. You're good. Let's say that and you're
certain is from Allah.
		

			Can you implement that dream? No, you can absolutely not. You have to take this to the Sharia. If
you see a dream get a kill your your your your neighbor, you go on and kill you can see it's no way
for will discipline ad we go through the Sharia, the religion will go through it. So the Revelation
says opposite. Now you can't go ahead and do the opposite to the revelation, whatever you see in
your dreams has to be measured by the religion. Yeah. But it does not override the religion. You see
that suspected Islam that gone astray in that field they say had definitely called Beyond Robbie,
that I received my religion Street between me and Allah. My heart is connected with Allah, I don't
		

			have to go through messengers. And this is where I said at the beginning, that if you actually
reject the message and the messenger ship, you go out of the fold of Islam. You believe that you
connect directly with Allah subhanaw taala. Without a medium without the messenger, the way to Allah
is the way of the message. And you heard that you can't reject any of the messengers. You can't
reject Jesus, Moses, Abraham, or the last and final messenger set to all of mankind have profound
peace be upon them, who called people to worship the Creator, not as creation. We right back with
more here in the show.
		

			Back here on the D show with Shay Kareem tele shake, we're talking about, we're talking about the
dreams. And some people will say they had this experience. Have you had any experience? Because you
host the TV show called let's talk about it have any? None. Not yet Muslims called in or people. And
they actually as soon as they say dreams, I say I don't turn with dreams. They asked you about
interpreting dreams? I don't I tell them right away some callers they call she I saw method right
away I actually get to be a specialist in that area or how is that? No is not that? You know, I'm
not I'm I'm a guy who you know, who tells religious rulings based on the text? I'm not there to say
		

			your dreams mean, that would mean that in my opinion, in my humble opinion, actually. Yeah, you're
right, you must have the skill of doing it. This is number one. But you should not do this in a show
because a lot of people make a lot out of these dreams. And they have to be extremely careful. I
mean, dreams in a way are a form of revelation from Revelation in the sense not literally. But Allah
subhanaw taala is conveying a message to you, in a way.
		

			But we should not, we always have to take it to the religion, we have to take it to the dean. So I
don't try to present myself to be that because people sometimes make a big deal out of those people.
How we see that, you know, just from studying this way of life, Islam is the natural way cause you
not to do anything that's weird out of this world, it's really straightforward and simple worshiping
the creator and not as creation, establishing the prayer five times a day now because, you know,
some people say, Well, well, why do I have to pray? You know, what does God need my prayer? You
know, that's, that's something else. That some excuse some people would would would make, like,
		

			what's the point of prayer? But we know that okay, as Muslims, we have to pray that's for us to
develop ourselves more. God consciousness keeps us away from evil. He's right. And so how can
someone be certain now that, look, they come from a way of life, that everything's confusing, it's
kind of makeup things as you go, everyone has their own opinion, you find 10 people in a room with
1213 different opinions, when you come over to Islam is straight cut is it's really simple.
Understand? So what's the first step? Now? What's the first step then somebody who's Look, they
really, you know, are searching, but they're coming from a land of confusion. Now, you know, you
		

			just throw in Islam in the buffet, just another religion. How do you I like I like what you said,
You know, I heard you, I don't know more than one time I love that line that always seek guidance
from him. Go down the ground and frustrate because if Allah guides you, no one can take you astray.
Even if the whole world, gather that simple, simple. So let's just start start right now. Right now,
right now, you know, you just not have you know, have known as innovations in your heart, whatever
we show to be Allah, I will follow it. This is the first commitment that you should make, whatever,
whatever we even if it is the way of the Muslims, I will follow it. Make that vow, make that
		

			commitment. And big him every day, every night.
		

			Go down, like Jesus peace be upon him a Saudi slammed it on your forehead and ask him You cannot
imagine a lot of people who accepted Islam. They told me they love this. They told me they run this
at night they would be crying and weeping and they are so distress, depressed. They are about to
kill themselves, and they broke break in tears. And when you're at that stage, you really feel that
connection between you and Allah subhanho wa Taala and they go down in their forehead, and they
prostrate and they request guide me, I want you I want to, that's what you need to do. That's the
first initial step, the first initial then after that, if it is the way of Islam, which it is no
		

			question about it. Then begin learning Accra read, but begin learning La ilaha illAllah, pure
monotheism? No Allah is. That is the first requirement that you need to know. Don't get indulged in
all these details of the religion. You're going to be distracted. Get to do your Lord, get to know
who Allah is. And this is what the messenger did with us harbor for 13 years as far as
		

			villamagna generates that all what we knew from the Quran is who Allah is Jenna and * 13 years.
That's what you need to learn. But of course, they still have to pray. And I'm not saying that they,
they're gonna put Salah aside. Now that's not what I'm saying. But knowledge should be focused here
knowing what is know the basics, how to pray, Al Fatiha, Jani, the Salah, and so forth. Now from the
carry on, and take it easy. You see a big obstacle in the faces of those who accept Islam, that they
look at the package in its totality. And they think they cannot do it. And that's why shaitan plays
in them, are you going to do all of this, this is not going to work. You see what Allah subhanaw
		

			taala wants from you is to believe in him and make a full commitment in your heart that you will
submit to Him. No reservation, and then factor columns, that strife, strife. If you fall short, or
Allah forgive me, I can do this. Or Allah helped me to do this. If you fall into a sin, Oh ALLAH
forgive me. And work Bill, Bill. That's how it goes. make strides each and every day. Don't give us
a roadmap, roadmap slanza roadmap, yes. And at the end agenda, that's a paradise day. Thank you very
much. We're out of time. Thank you very much again, the creditor that rewards you say thank you. And
that's the first simple step that you can start with, because if you're on Xanax, if you're on
		

			antidepressants, and if you're looking for love in all the wrong places, with that beer bottle, you
know that something's missing. So start, break down, shed one tear, or many of you have to, but ask
the Creator, earnestly to guide you. Humble yourself, because death is a reality. And when it
approaches, it's too late. And then all that stuff has been numbing your mind all that music and
entertainment that takes you away from reality. But when death comes, then you're in the reality,
and then it's too late Hellfire or paradise? And did you work hard for paradise? You worked hard for
that paycheck, you didn't get it for free. So Paradise is not for free. You got to strive in this
		

			life to be the best that you can be. And you need the blueprint. You need the game plan, and you got
to get it from the one who created mankind. That's the one God so start to ask him do that simple.
That's the homework right now start to ask the Creator, your maker, my maker, the one who made
everything in his universe for guidance, and give us a call one 800 662 Islam. We'll see you next
time.
