yalla bismillah so the first part of the
story in verse 30 chapter 2 Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala says وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ
إِنِّي جَاعِلٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ Allah says I have
told the angels I have decided to place
on earth pause I have decided to place
on earth you and I do not know
yet they didn't go to the next slide
before I tell you exactly what Allah placed
I want to go back in time like
how back in time I want to go
back not just to the first century I
want to go back before we all existed
I want to go even a little bit
further back like how back before even earth
was there before even the skies and the
planets and the universe was there so how
do you know because a group of Yemenis
what asked the prophet the question may Allah
bless them they are a group of people
from Yemen and they want to accept Islam
so they went to the prophet and he
said يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ جِئْنَنَ تَفَقَّهُ فِي الدِّينِ
we are coming to learn about the religion
so they have a lot of questions our
brothers and sisters from Yemen what was one
of the questions عَنْ أَوَّلِ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ مَا
كَانْ what was the first thing to exist
what was the first matter that ever took
place in this universe the prophet ﷺ says
the first first thing the story starts with
Allah كَانَ اللَّهُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْءٌ قَبْلَهُ كَانَ
اللَّهُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْءٌ قَبْلَهُ it was Allah
alone and there was nothing else whatever is
in your mind besides Allah was not there
whatever you can think of anything, the throne,
the sky heaven, * dearborn, none of that
existed no one, nothing كَانَ اللَّهُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ
شَيْءٌ قَبْلَهُ that's why this gives you which
name of Allah which name of Allah can
you get from this go ahead Tawfiq الواحد
the one okay we can take that the
one الواحد what can you take الأول let
me test your knowledge is the name الأول
in the Quran هو الأول والآخر هو الأول
والآخر what surah الحج close very close الحج
الحج الحديد الحديد the surah is called the
steel الحديد so Allah says he is the
first والآخر and Allah is the last okay
Allah was always there what was the first
thing Allah created the first thing there is
a difference of opinion we will share with
you a few hadith ready الرسول صلى الله
عليه وسلم says كل شيء خلق من ما
everything was created from water that's why some
scholars they said the first thing Allah created
was water and everything else came from it
that's one of the thing and this shows
you how pure and important water is then
after Allah perhaps created the water what was
the thing Allah created that he placed above
the water العرش Allah's throne the prophet صلى
الله عليه وسلم says وكان عرشه على الماء
Allah created his throne and he placed it
on water then Allah سبحانه وتعالى he carved
something on his throne just an example you
know how sometimes you have your laptop you
put a sticker you have I don't know
your bed you have a sticker of dhikr
or anything of that sort Allah is the
best at examples nothing is like Allah Allah
carved something on his throne now before you
know what it is it shows you how
important it is correct and that's the one
thing that we know that is written on
Allah's throne anybody here knows what is it
that is written on Allah's throne that's a
big deal go ahead what is it rules
okay you're close there's a rule that God
put there's one rule fantastic go ahead fantastic
the prophet said مكتوب عند عرشه it was
written on Allah's throne رحمتي سبقت غضبي my
mercy is overcoming my mercy was faster my
mercy is further than my anger الله أكبر
what does that make you and I feel
the رحمة the mercy so Allah by default
what's the default of Allah is to be
merciful may Allah shower his mercy upon all
of you say ameen so Allah was there
first then Allah created the water then Allah
created the throne then Allah created the pen
here the prophet says the first thing Allah
created was the pen so when Allah created
the pen Allah told the pen write so
the pen said what should I write so
Allah says أُكْتُب مَقَادِيرَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى تَقُومَ
السَّعَى write everything that will happen until the
day of judgment you being present here today
in Dearborn October 25th 2024 was written the
chair that you're sitting on was written the
fact that someone just walked in it was
written the leaf if we're in fall the
leaf that is falling it was written it
will fall at that time in that speed
in that location everything was written based on
Allah's knowledge after 50,000 years and every
hadith mentioned is authentic 50,000 years from
the creation of the of the pen are
you guys with me 50,000 years later
Allah went ahead to create the heavens and
the earth the universe the milky way and
the planets and the stars and the sun
and the moon every everything and Allah out
of all the creation that is visible to
us today he appeared to give more emphasis
to a little tiny creation from the solar
system out of everything Allah created there's that
one little thing that Allah emphasized so much
on what is that thing called earth he
put water, river mountains, lakes all these things
oceans, valleys volcanoes you name it everything is
there then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala when
he created this just to give you the
size of things and how small earth is
in an authentic narration Ibn Mas'ud said
between the first sky the one that you
and I see that's the first sky and
the second one which no one ever saw
is 500 year journey and between the second
sky and the third sky 500 year journey
all the way until the how many?
7th sky then the prophet Ibn Mas'ud
said based on what he was taught from
the prophet and above the 7th sky is
Al-Kursi not the throne different, Al-Kursi
Ibn Abbas says Al-Kursi is the foot
stool to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala then
between the Kursi and the water is 500
years and what's above the water?
the Arsh, then Ibn Mas'ud says Allah
is above the throne ready for the ending?
look how far, Allah is very far right?
it seems, then Ibn Mas'ud said though
Allah is above 7 heavens above the throne
thousands of years away nothing that you do
Allah is not aware of, may Allah make
us aware of him Allah also eventually creates
what?
that's what the pen wrote the preserved tablet,
well done what else did Allah create?
before you and I angels, who are the
angels?
no not your wife, calm down before that
your wife is better than the angel, I
give you some notes mashallah, right?
the angels, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he
taught us angels were created from light, ok
that's beautiful that's amazing, and Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala says angels, what's their job?
messengers, they are ones that deliver a message,
that's some of their tasks, then Allah says
some of the angels have wings, how many?
two wings, some angels have three wings and
some angels have four wings Allah can increase
as much as Allah wants let me test
your knowledge, do you know any angel that
had a specific number of wings?
go ahead, ok there was a back ok,
fantastic, go ahead angel Jibreel, how many wings?
two, three or four?
mashallah close, six hundred six hundred wings, one
wing can cover the entire horizon now beside
wings imagine the size, if that's the wing
we have the example of a size of
the angel, not the wing, who knows the
size of an angel a big size angel,
you know one?
bismillah, go ahead mashallah, so he gave the
very close description the angels that carry Allah's
throne, hamalat al arsh the prophet salallahu alayhi
wasalam say salallahu alayhi wasalam he says I
see what you do not see in one
hadith then he says how Allah told him
that the angel that carries Allah's throne, ready?
how many people carry, how many angels carry
Allah's throne?
on the day of judgment Allah says wa
yahmilu arsh rabbik on that day, how many?
thamanya, eight one angel between the earlobe and
the shoulder, like look how fast it takes
me, maybe not even one second, right?
one, one, one second if you wanna go
from the earlobe which your parents twist a
lot all the way to your shoulder of
that angel it takes you seven hundred years
seven hundred years of traveling from here to
here and that's one, so you see how
magnificent is Allah's creation the solar system, the
Milky Way and all that stuff that's the
size, what about the quantity, how many angels
are there?
I'll give you two hadith only to tell
you how many, are they a lot or
little, what do you guys think?
a lot, like beyond your imagination, i.e.
no calculator can provide you a number Allahu
Akbar, human beings right now have about eight
billion angels, watch, two ahadith, number one the
prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said I hear things
which you do not hear I know things
which you do not know, and Allah told
me something and he heard something, what is
it?
he said, attati sama, the sky is doing
a squeaky noise did you ever walk on
the stairs in your house and you hear
the squeaky noise of the floor?
right, this, one of one of the possible
causes is the floor is not the best
of quality, the other possible cause, you're big,
alright, bismillah so, what happened Rasul sallallahu alayhi
wasallam says, attati sama the sky is doing
a squeaky noise a huge sky that you
cannot see the end why ya Rasulallah?
then he says, because laysa wunaka mawdi arba
asabi, there's not a distance of four fingers,
except that there is a angel prostrating, what
do you mean?
angel prostrates here, there's a gap, four fingers,
another angel prostrates a gap, four fingers another
angel prostrates a gap, four fingers across the
entire sky, that the sky is making noise,
allahu akbar, one more hadith about the numbers,
ready?
the prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam says how many
heavens are there?
you remember?
seven the seventh heaven has something that no
other heaven has, what is it?
the seventh heaven al kaaba, you're close you're
very close, try a masjid, very close, seventh
heaven has something that no go ahead al
bayt al ma'mur, mashallah what's al bayt al
ma'mur, that house that is known as al
ma'mur?
Allah teaches us the bayt al ma'mur just
to let you know, we know it's located,
literally if the sky check this out, if
the sky were to open up, where the
house is on, the house, the masjid if
it opens up and the house falls where
will it fall?
exactly over the kaaba allahu akbar exactly, so
that other kaaba, al bayt al ma'mur, the
prophet tells us, every single day 70,000
angels circulated, tawaf, 70,000 you look, we
have 1.3 million in hajj ok, calm
down 70,000 angels then the prophet say
he says when these 70,000 leave they
never ever come back, so another 70,000
so if we only use the 50,000
years just the 50,000 years calculate how
many months how many weeks, how many days,
got the days multiply by 70,000, just
50,000 years so you see what's happening
in the universe, you see the 7 heavens,
the kursi Allah's throne, the pen, the number
of the angels, what about their attitude, their
behavior, their akhlaq Allah says these angels never
disobey Allah, like the entire sky, not one
angel, not a single one not a single
one no arrogance, no arrogance Allah says they
don't get ya Allah, that's too much of
worship no, ya Allah, do you really need
us, no, humble to Allah what does that
mean you heard that before, in the Quran
what does that mean ok, feel tired, they
are not exhausted, they keep doing that all
the way now I want you to imagine,
you're like brother, all this is to give
you the picture of this one, all this
is to give you a picture, and your
lord said to the angels, I'm going to
place on earth, because the angels they see,
Allah is giving special attention to earth there's
something special about it who will Allah give
it to what's the purpose of it's existence
Allahumma barik, may Allah grant us the best
say ameen, that's one of the reasons where
Allah says before this verse how can you
disbelieve in Allah after you hear all of
this how can you disbelieve in Allah how
can you disbelieve in Allah Allah says you
never even existed all this show is taking
place, and you're not even there yet, and
then you come and you show up, and
then you're like what is this, and you
complain, and you disobey then Allah says Allah
will bring you to life then Allah will
cause you to die, then Allah will cause
you to come back to life then you
return back to Allah, may Allah make our
state of return beautiful, say ameen so Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala is about to announce
to the angels, wa idh qala rabbuka lilbalaika
perhaps and Allah knows best, we have some
wonderful shuyukh in the audience this is the
greatest announcement of all time and any announcement
you have in your mind, any announcement so
and so is running for a president, whatever
announcement, so and so have been victorious okay
but there's no announcement bigger, better powerful, impactful
than the following announcements all the angels are
paying attention wa idh qala rabbuka lilbalaika oh
angels I have decided that on earth, and
Allah said the location before the occupation, Allah
said the location before the occupation, just to
share with us a quick lesson here from
the mashayikh, to show you the location should
play a role in your occupation, let that
be a significant decision factor in what you
choose in life even real estate agents, what
do they tell you when it's a very
good location they will tell you under zillow
.com, the description of the house, location, location
location, we mentioned that before if you're in
a good location, sometimes people are willing to
live in a tiny house, but give me
the good location, so Allah's telling them that
special location earth who will I occupy it
with, Allah says khalifa khalifa, what does khalifa
mean big discussion khalifa, multiple opinions, 3, 4,
5, 7 opinions, beautiful responses khalifa, basically number
one, shows a new type of creation alright,
khalifa, a new type of creation, so he
is, or she is, or it is, not
an angel, not an animal, none of that,
khalifa, something unique khalifa also means that they
will reproduce reproduce that they will have children,
they will have grandchildren, there's a progeny, okay
khalifa means free will, oh that's to the
angels, that's a big deal because everything Allah
created, worships Allah with no questions, no complaints
no free will, angels do not have an
option to say, you know what, I don't
feel like worshipping Allah today, they don't have
that option khalifa does, so since khalifa has
free will that means the khalifa will have
good decisions and possibly bad decisions and this
khalifa when Allah shares that, they get to
understand from Allah that the khalifa, the good
ones, will worship Allah, they will obey Allah,
the khalifa is to apply the rules of
Allah, and some of the khalifa, the inhabitants
of the earth will spread corruption will cause
bloodshed so when the angels heard these descriptions,
Allah you chose a khalifa on earth, what
happened next?
ya Allah are you, now they're shocked but
they're not questioning his wisdom, one more time
they're not questioning his wisdom they're curious, they're
surprised, so they say you have chosen out
of all the creation the khalifa that human
being to be on earth someone who will
spread corruption and cause what?
and cause bloodshed?
while we I'll pay attention to this one
so the creation, the khalifa, will go as
far as killing people and we we actually
let me switch the levels and we respect
you we praise you, we worship you, non
negotiable we are 100% in, but you
chose someone that has the potential to cause
bloodshed few things the angels noticed that the
worst thing that humans can do as a
khalifa as a leader to the community the
worst thing that can ever be done on
earth amongst creation is bloodshed may Allah protect
us so they picked the worst thing, they
will go that far, wallahi when I was
preparing this, I was thinking how are the
angels feeling when they see the genocide happening
right the bloodshed recorded, almost no one doing
anything about it, but you know what's also
beautiful the angels taught you and I bloodshed
is the most disgusting thing that ever happens
on earth between the creation, but the angels
may Allah bless them, they taught us what's
the best thing the creation can do, what
is it the best thing the dhikr of
Allah, say subhanallah the best, alhamdulillah allahu akbar,
say it la ilaha illallah, so we learn
from this wonderful creation, the angels the worst
is bloodshed the best is the dhikr of
Allah may Allah make you and I busy
with Allah's remembrance say ameen, may Allah make
this ayah the compass of our life to
always remember that, not too long ago subhanallah,
I was feeling not very well not health
wise, it's like you know blah blah feeling,
I don't know how to explain it right,
you know we all went through that everything
is going well but I just feel like
I don't know, maybe annoyed confused disturbed, it
happens every now and then right, and I'm
thinking you know what, do we unwind on
social media, don't we do that sometimes, and
specifically the reels and the YouTube shorts see
something funny, and you know what's interesting is
that studies have shown that those who try
to do that especially if they spend long
unwinding they come out of the phone when
they're done, more miserable than before, allahu akbar
as if it was a drug you paused
time then you're watching, laughing, laughing, laughing you
turned it off, then you're back to your
reality, and subhanallah when you really come down
to it, nothing will help you, and Allah
knows best nothing will help you more than
remembering Allah it's the Quran, nothing, nothing I'm
telling you, I'm giving you free nasiha, nothing
not YouTube shorts not something initially funny, let's
go have a meal bandage, bandaid okay, temporary,
but the real thing that some of us
may look to especially if you tried everything
I said it's not working, it's the dhikr
of Allah subhanallah, it's the Quran make wudu,
pray to rakat open the Quran and read,
and see how you feel when you close
that, compared to closing your phone, may Allah
protect us, and how you will feel with
that I want to ask you, I want
to see your knowledge with tasbih and dhikr,
can I test you?
what is some dhikr that the prophet taught
us, like if you do this, you get
that if you do this dhikr, you get
that and try if you can, I'm going
to make it a little bit advanced a
little bit, try to give me the example
based on these two nusabbihu bihamdik, so subhanallah
alhamdulillah, go ahead give me one, yes fantastic,
one hadith, the prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam says
subhanallah, wabihamdik completes or fills the scale, but
let's explain to everybody, the scale is what
your deeds will be measured with the heavier,
the better so we learn from the prophet
to reach maximum capacity of the scale, make
it heavy say subhanallah wabihamdik fills it up,
allahu akbar but since we said that what
does it mean, like why is it so
powerful, are you ready inshallah what does subhanallah
wabihamdik mean may Allah make it be defined
in a way that we all remember, inshallah
ready, there's no inshallah in dua, I made
a mistake, when you make dua don't say
inshallah, alright subhanallah is the opposite of alhamdulillah
subhanallah is the opposite of alhamdulillah how is
that, subhanallah it's like you're saying Allah is
free from any negative given to him, some
say Allah is cheap may Allah forgive us
some people they say Allah is tight with
provision, so when we hear something negative about
Allah what do we say, subhanallah Allah is
free from the negative said about him example,
Allah says و قالوا اتخذ الله ولده, they
said Allah has a son what's the next
word, subhanah see how it worked out, so
when you hear something disturbing about Allah, something
negative, the appropriate word is subhanallah done, alhamdulillah
is the opposite, when you hear something, something
mentioned about Allah positive, alhamdulillah comes in place,
alham you praise, you praise every positive attribute
given to Allah so when you say, subhanallah
و بحمده, you completed the entire thing, that's
why it fills the scale, fair enough so
Allah is free from any negative, Allah is
full of every positive, subhanallah و بحمده, so
that's one reward, fantastic what about this side,
any reward of dhikr, any reward, go ahead
okay, very close, I'll take the first part,
I'll take the first part and then I'll
proceed, what did the sister say, she's teaching
us something of dhikr that we can do,
and I like what you mentioned, because it
can be done tonight I have some other
content that can be said early in the
morning but I will use this tonight, because
maybe inshallah we're motivated, what's the dhikr, the
prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam, it's a long story
but I'll just give you the gist of
it, he says if you say, before you
sleep people confuse the numbers so pay attention
to the numbers if you say before you
sleep subhanallah, 33 alhamdulillah 33, allahu akbar 34
so for this one, you don't say at
the end, la ilaha illallah no no no
no, subhanallah 33, alhamdulillah 33, allahu akbar 34,
what's the total, how's your math, what's the
total of these three 100, fantastic if you
say that you will wake up the next
morning as if you have a boost in
your energy you will wake up as if
you have an assistant in your life subhanallah
when Ali radhiallahu anhu he heard this, he
said I never in my life slept without
saying it so can we remember inshallah but
don't play with the system, isha'i don't
play with the system don't say, wallah jazakallah
khair for the hadith, tonight I will sleep
at 3 in the morning and get that
5 hour shot, la la la doesn't work
like that, you take the means you sleep
on time inshallah and you say this dua,
don't test it, say it with belief and
tomorrow when you do see the impact, you
will make dua for the sister and all
of us inshallah, sounds good what was the
number again subhanallah 33 alhamdulillah 33 and allahu
akbar 34, Rani go ahead mashallah, mashallah if
you say subhanallah wa bi hamdi, last one,
say subhanallah wa bi hamdi if you say
that 100 times after the 100th time, Allah
will forgive every sin you committed does that
not show you how powerful that line is
you're busy remembering Allah, the prophet says even
if your sins was as much as the
ocean the foam of the ocean, I'll share
with you just maybe encouragement I had this
hadith in my notes but I said let
me take from the audience and we'll see
how time is and I'll proceed, so after
I took my two as I promised I
wanted to go ahead but Allah will that
you mentioned it, so while I had it
here I felt like a hypocrite why?
I have it here, whoever says subhanallah 100
times, subhanallah wa bi hamdi Allah forgive, then
I'm like okay, I'm rehearsing in my attic
upstairs whoever says subhanallah 100 times wa bi
hamdi, Allah forgives the sins I felt like
a munafiq, why?
why?
because I'm not doing it so it feels
very weird so I decided if I wanna
say it I gotta do it so I
paused, went to google timer stopwatch so I
wanted to see something, how long does it
really take?
so I press start subhanallah wa bi hamdi
100 times it took two and a half
minutes so is it worth it?
two and a half minutes?
for all the sins to be forgiven?
inshallah, may Allah put barak in our time
so the angel they said ataj'alu feeha,
ya Allah are you gonna have on earth
that special amazing place khalifa, a human being
that will spread corruption and cause bloodshed while
we, what do we do?
we remember you, night and day we never
disobey you now the ulama, they say something
what do they mean with that?
number one they're saying, ya Allah we don't
want you to be disrespected we love you
these creation will have free will and you
told us that they may cause bloodshed because
they will say la ilba lana illa ma
allamtana, like we say whatever you taught us
so the angels are not guessing they're confirming
there will be bloodshed so ya Allah, number
one we don't want you to be disrespected
we love you, number two choose us let
the angels be the the khalifa let us
do whatever you want let us rule the
way you want us to rule on earth
and the third thing ya Allah, do we
have any shortcomings that we were not chosen
for this task?
you see how that happens?
and ya Allah you're choosing someone that can
cause bloodshed over us that always glorify you
like we have the feel that we're not
good enough you see that?
what is Allah saying?
inni a'alamu ma lata surah al-baqarah,
this is the second chapter after al-fatiha,
you gotta live by this Allah says to
the angels Allah acknowledges what they said, Allah
did not say no, no, no, no, there's
no bloodshed no, no, Allah acknowledges there will
be bloodshed, Allah acknowledges you are great that
you do glorification but I know something which
you do not know Allahu Akbar brothers and
sisters, and Allah starts on a Friday what
happens on a Friday?
Allah starts the creation of that khalifah do
we know the name?
not yet he starts working on that khalifah
and out of everything Allah created it is
not common to do it the following way
Allah is creating the khalifah with his own
hands, biyadayn, Allahu Akbar in the Quran Allah
first gets ready guys?
ready inshallah?
Allah goes to earth and grabs qabda, the
Prophet ﷺ says من قبضة قبضها من جميع
الارض Allah grabs from earth every type of
soil the rough soil the smooth the white
soil the black soil, the reddish soil, all
types and he used that mix and forgive
me for that pause sometimes you come in
social media across someone mocking the mix some
of you may be able to reference what
I'm saying when you see someone acting as
if they are God where there is a
bull they put water and they put a
mix pretending to create a human being it's
not appropriate for you to continue watching you
would be held accountable this is mockery towards
Allah SWT exactly for those that know what
I'm referring to let's go back so Allah
grabs what?
soil all types of soils and then he
starts molding that khalifa, pay attention the Prophet
ﷺ said that is why from the progeny
of the khalifa we have different what?
different skin color the DNA will go back
to that khalifa and we took that type
of soil so that is why since there
is a assorted type of soil we will
have different skin color and different personalities Allah
took from the you know the rough the
ultra red pill then the the other pill
so within that boundary subhanallah then Allah when
he grabbed the soil Allah mixed the soil
with water Allahu Akbar so when the soil
turab comes with maa you put them together
what's the word?
teen or clay teen teen is mud and
look at the origin of the khalifa we
all know we are from the khalifa right?
look at your origin you are pure the
two things that made you, there is no
third element there is no fourth, there is
no fifth, only two two elements that made
you water and soil you are clean which
is very different than some biblical stuff that
oh everybody is born with the original sin
the reason you are on earth is because
you are all miserable you got to clean
yourself we believe the complete opposite we are
pure your default settings, you are amazing you
are more valuable than the shiniest diamond this
is who you are and you got to
believe in that Allah is telling you this
not a motivational speaker Allah is telling you
your origin is water which is the source
of life so be the source of guidance
to others live by the elements you are
made out of you are made out of
soil so build on earth and construct and
make this world a better place when you
want to clean yourself you want to pray,
what do you do?
water, and if there is no water what
do you use?
soil look how clean you are you want
something amazing?
ready for this?
all the ones that love to connect science
with the religious stuff there is an article
titled the epistemology of wrinkles the knowledge of
wrinkles may Allah protect us alright the knowledge
of wrinkles from geology and anatomy to physiology
I'm confused, I'll make it easy I went
to chat GPT, I said give me what
this means in grade 8 English, alright so
look to what it says in the article
I give you word for word it says
the general principles Allah pay attention, you are
going to enjoy this inshallah the general principles
behind tension and compression wrinkles are the same
in geology and dermatology the science of the
skin and how it shrinks and expands is
very similar, foundations to how the earth expands
and shrinks Allahu Akbar so look up this
article if you are interested, the epistemology of
wrinkles from geology and anatomy to physiology an
entire study, amazing how is it so if
you want to be a very good dermatologist
who makes about 700,000 a year join
us and register for this class anyhow, let's
move on so this is what the human
being is made out of, the water and
the soil so then Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala with his hands he starts to fashion
the body of that khalifa and the hadith
says and may require a lot of explanation
but don't be too thrown off by it
the prophet said Allah created that khalifa in
the image of God, authentic hadith alright one
meaning is that he created the image of
that khalifa right to the get go as
in not a baby that grows and becomes
taller so right away, what was the height
of that khalifa authentic hadith, what was the
height 60 arm length what is that 90
feet that's pretty tall 90 feet tall that
khalifa, the first one 90 feet, all his
progeny will start getting shorter and shorter and
shorter 90 feet, you want a comparison NBA
basketball court, how big, how tall how long
94 feet approximately, right so if that khalifa
were to sleep on a basketball court from
the beginning, his head all the way to
the toes, to the end the entire court,
the other meaning of it is that Allah
created him in the image of Allah so
we do not say they are identical, nothing
is like Allah, but Allah did say that
he has eyes تَجْرِي بِأَعْيُنِنَا we don't say
what color, shape but a human being has
eyes Allah says, he can hear and so
was that khalifa can hear but we not
say they are similar in any way, shape
or form, sounds good we don't compare Allah
says he has a face where is that
in the Quran where is it that Allah
says he has a face وَيَبْقَى وَجْهُ رَبِّكَ
ذُلْ جَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ and everything is gone everything
vanishes except the face of Allah, then Allah
says that he has a shin, where is
that shin the human being has a shin
but not like Allah, nothing is like Allah,
but the attributes are there where is the
word shin in the Quran try ما شاء
الله تبارك الله يَوْمَ يُكْشَفُوا عَنْ سَاقٍ Allah
will reveal his shin on the day of
judgment then everyone will be told prostrate may
Allah make us prostrate on that day سبحان
الله I mentioned the name you cannot be
perfect except Allah I try not to say
this you're like brother we already know this
that's a suspense so anyhow, then the khalifa
is created 60 or 90 feet tall and
then Allah when he fashions him he makes
him paused, dry body no soul yet, no
rooh the eyes are not opening, just the
body Allah says in the Quran كَالْفَخَّار the
body of the khalifa becomes like pottery, then
Allah says صَلْصَال what does it mean, if
you go and you do this you will
hear a sound صَلْصَال hollow, fantastic right, so
then تَرَكَهُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَن يَتْرُكَهُ then
Allah left the body as long as Allah
willed, during that time, someone showed up and
sees the body and walks around who's that
person what is he gonna say what is
his plan, all that and much more after
the break inshallah so let's take a break
then we'll come right after the prophet says
that being that was circulating it was Iblis,
before I tell you what he did, what
he said and what happened who is Iblis
there is a discussion and there are difference
of opinion the most recent of scholars, very
much they saying and that's what you'll very
much hear, when much of the scholars around
earth today, they will tell you that Iblis
كان من الجن he was of the jinn
now who are the jinn and you told
us about angels, you told us about the
kursi, you told us about the throne, you
told us about the pen, who are the
jinn jinn, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala told
us that he created the jinn from fire
and it can also be translated as smokeless
fire Allah created them, they're the only ones
besides this new khalifa that have what?
free will excellent, so that jinn, the father
of the jinn is Iblis that's the father
of the jinn I wanna take you a
little bit back just to share it with
you if you come across some benefit some
scholars they said it's not in the Quran
or authentic narrations from my understanding but the
angels were concerned about the khalifa because of
the history of the jinn the jinn has
history they have free will and we saw
what people with free will can do why
are you creating another creature with free will
because they might do the same thing they're
not complaining, they're just surprised and curious so
let's go back Iblis, should I tell you
another opinion or I'm gonna throw you out?
some scholars and many of the older scholars,
they believe Iblis was an angel Iblis was
an angel what am I trying to get
to not that he's an angel or a
jinn, what I'm trying to get to is
everyone, young and old here, respect both opinions
if you can walk outside these doors, and
here are scholars telling you, Iblis was from
the angels and he disobeyed you respect that
because it's a scholarly study and opinion, and
if you attend another one, and the scholar
tells you, the opinion seems stronger that Iblis
is of me, not angels jinn, we respect
that, can we do that, can we walk
out with that respect inshallah, if it was
some random stuff, someone says Iblis was a
dinosaur I don't care who that person is
you walk out of that door, alright fantastic,
so not every you wanna note it down
not every difference of opinion, is a valid
opinion one more time, not every difference of
opinion is a valid opinion just keep that
in mind, because we don't wanna pick and
choose and play games, so when Allah created
Adam and he left him and Iblis, I
will proceed the rest of the session, and
the rest of my teachings and Allah knows
the future will go with Iblis as a
jinn so as Iblis was walking around he's
looking like who is this thing that is
so special that God had to announce it
and then there's a whole earth for him
what is this thing so he comes yanzur
mahu, falamma when the devil, Iblis came and
noticed it was hollow right hollow, empty from
the inside in a way, he says I
got this I can overcome I am better
he is weak he will fall for desires
and temptations and you wanna connect something that's
why down the road on earth, the prophet
told us the devil flows in your body,
just like blood flows in your body may
Allah protect us so then, he said seems
not very happy and criticized Adam and that
khalifa eventually, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will
do one of the biggest moves ever, which
is what and Allah will blow from his
created soul, Allah created a soul and placed
it into that khalifa and the prophet salallahu
alayhi wasalam now the body will have a
lot of value now the value of the
body went up because of the inside so
keep that in mind what you and I
should focus most on is the beauty of
the inside not as much as the outside
outside, you're a hollow body potter pottery, I
was gonna say Harry Potter pottery but when
the soul comes in you become valuable you're
a loved one, the most person that you
love may Allah bless them they're around you
and alive, may Allah honor them when Allah
commands the soul to leave that body will
not have a value your most loved one,
you will not even stand them in your
own house no, no, I love them, you
will not biologically what will happen, the smell
all humans very much go through that and
that body value loses and you have to
go under the ground and place it, Allahu
Akbar so focus what beautifies the soul and
don't sacrifice the beauty of the inside and
go focus all out on the external beauty,
it will not last it can backfire and
stab the inside, may Allah protect us let
me make it more practical when I say
the beauty of the inside it means your
gratitude it means your patience it means your
humbleness, that's the makeup of the inside and
then yes you should care for the outside,
may Allah make us beautiful inside and outside
so when Allah created that khalifa, blew the
soul into him, the soul was risen, or
is rising the soul entered the body the
soul entered the body the soul is going
up, the soul reached the head, and then
itch the khalifa sneezed, first moment in life,
our father our father what will the first
thing he say, what is this where am
I, where in the world the first thing
that comes out of this khalifa's mouth Alhamdulillah
Rabbil Alamin can you imagine the angels like
Allahu Akbar right, like how is that, how
did you know how to talk right, Alhamdulillah
Rabbil Alamin, praise be to Allah so let
that be the first thing you say, when
you wake up when you wake up tomorrow
say Alhamdulillah the same way Allah is teaching
us through this man, Alayhi Salam to say
Alhamdulillah, sounds good so he said Alhamdulillah that's
the first thing the human being ever said,
and the first thing the creator Al Khaliq
will ever say to the human being, the
first thing is what Irhamuk Allah may my
mercy shall be upon you if that's the
beginning, what's next how should you and I
feel as we drive back home you wanna
give up on someone that the first thing
they told you Allah's mercy is on you
you give up on someone like that the
first thing that he said that's the beginning,
what's next, what's next is better did you
ever go to a very fancy dinner before,
like really really fancy dinner that you felt
like a miskeen like I don't, what do
you mean ever had like four plates like
one plate this big then one, two, there's
three, there's four three forks three knives, ever?
I went twice in my life, may Allah
make it easy for us right, and like
a miskeen you eat everything on the first
plate right?
the waiter comes and takes the first plate,
no no no, keep it sir, sir, there's
another one, no no no sir, sir, you
have another plate okay, they take the plate
and you're like sad, wastefulness then they take
the spoon and the fork, no no he's
like, sir, look, look, there's two other ones
may Allah grant us Jannah so you're like,
if this was the appetizer, what's the main
dish?
right?
what's the main dish?
well last one in Windsor I was invited
for iftar a brother, may Allah bless him,
from Pakistan so we had iftar it was
samosa, it was a fruit salad, it was
like a meal, so I'm like, I start
eating and eating and eating and eating and
the guy did not say anything may Allah
honor him and I went all out so
then the brother said, alright, let's go pray
maghrib and I'm like, may Allah help us
the stomach is mashallah, tabarakallah so then, allahu
akbar, pray maghrib after we're done, so brothers,
inshallah, we're gonna start the iftar here, start
the iftar?
what was that?
he's like, no brother, in our culture, that's
what we start, samosas and fruits and a
full meal, I went and it was a
very sad moment, because I could not eat
anything else, subhanallah, right?
so this was the appetizer, then what in
the world was the main dish?
it was amazing, mashallah so Allah is the
best example the first thing Allah told you,
irhamuk Allah, my mercy is upon you what
is waiting for you in jannah?
allahu akbar may Allah make us see Allah's
mercy in this dunya and the akhirah, amir
rabbil alamin, so when Allah created that khalifa
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala taught Adam Allah
was the teacher, Adam was a student now
Allah says the name is Adam, what does
Adam mean?
some ulama said Adam means the face of
the earth, which resembles where he's made out
of, allahu akbar so the name plays a
role with your personality choose the right names,
may Allah grant you the best Allah taught
Adam the names of all things what all
things?
oh, you open the books you'll see this
opinion and that opinion and this opinion, some
of the things Allah taught and perhaps the
first names and things Allah taught Adam would
be what?
Allah's beautiful names I am ar-rahman, I
am ar-rahim, I am al-alim and
Adam is, you know absorbing it, let it
sink in, soaking it and learning Allah's names
is this, this and that, Allah taught him
the language, how to speak some ulama went
as far as saying Adam knew every language
that existed on earth every language, English Arabic,
Farsi Urdu, Hindi everything, he knew all the
languages, some ulama they came in the middle,
they said he knew the foundations that will
bring every other language, so he knew the
foundational language and then people eventually developed it
into other ones, may Allah grant us the
best وَعَلَّمَ آدَمَ الْأَسْمَاءَ كُلَّهُ so he was
very educated he was so smart and he
was so intelligent, then Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala, Allah knows the exact order he told
Adam go to these angels and what should
he do?
Allah told Adam اِذْهَبْ فَسَلِّمْ عَلَىٰ أُولَٰئِكَ النَّفَرَ
go and greet these, who are the nafar?
angels say salam and ya Adam I want
you to pay attention to what, how they
reply mashaAllah, and whatever they reply, Adam your
salam, salamu alaykum whatever they reply that will
be the standard greeting of all your children
Allahu Akbar, so Adam is ok, I want
to see, after I say salamu alaykum, what
will be the response?
he walks to the angels and he says
assalamu alaykum and the angels they say assalamu
alaykum wa rahmatullah, and this is the greeting,
so how about just for a few seconds,
go to the one next to you and
say assalamu alaykum say salam to the one
next to you fantastic, fantastic Allah good?
oh salamu alaykum alright, fantastic, fantastic alright, alright,
alright fantastic, mashaAllah mashaAllah, the sisters are exchanging
numbers already Allahu Akbar salamu alaykum, I saw
you at dreamy I saw you at IIA,
mashaAllah mashaAllah, alright bismillah you see the smile,
you see the love?
this is, you just witnessed a miracle you
literally lived a miracle the prophet salallahu alayhi
wasalam told us this will be the greeting
I remember, I shared it with the ones
that attend Tuesday classes the etiquette of greeting
I went to Beijing, China one time for
work, and when I went there, I wanted
to visit a masjid so when I went
to the masjid in China I saw a
library and then I walked in and there's
all these Islamic books so I told the
old lady handling the library where is the
Quran?
she did not know I said prophet Muhammad
she did not know I was so shocked
how is that possible?
so I said Quran, Quran doesn't need Chinese
to say it Quran, Quran so now what
am I looking for in the library?
for a Quran so then I walked around,
walked around until I found the Quran, so
I said this she said, Quranji I said,
what?
yeah, real Quranji, Quranji I was able to
communicate, we say Quran the Quran says Quran,
anyhow but she didn't get any words and
Allah knows behind the scenes is there oppression,
is there not in that location before I
left and maybe she didn't hear me the
first time I said, what at the end?
salamu alaikum then she said, wa alaikum salam
I'm like, that you know Allah is my
witness, the only thing was salamu alaikum and
what came to my mind, this hadith miracle,
subhanallah, salamu alaikum so here the etiquette, the
prophet he says you will not go to
paradise until you love one another and you
will not no, no, no, I made a
mistake, who can correct me?
I can correct but I wanted you to
correct me no one pays attention Aisa, or
you do pay attention but you're shy to
embarrass me on stage in front of a
thousand people, go ahead, Aisa ok, ahsan, there's
a hadith, the prophet you're right, he says
you will not truly believe until you love
for others what you love for yourself, that's
a hadith you know my mistake, go ahead
ok, you will not enter jannah until you
love each other, that's what I said you
will not go to jannah until you love
each other I made a mistake, there's something
before this ahsan may Allah bless you, you
will not enter jannah until you believe you
will not go to jannah until you believe
you will not go to jannah until you
believe until you love one another shall I
tell you something, if you do you will
love one another the prophet s.a.w
said, spread greeting across and to one another,
may Allah allow us to remember this so
he learned and he learned and he learned,
then what happened then Allah so what did
Allah do, now Allah is going to test
the angels or bring it to the attention
of the angels what are these things, what
is this language, what is this item what
is this thing what is that and what
is this some ulama went as far as
saying that Allah taught Adam everything, like literally
everything the beaches the mountains the rivers, the
cells the biology, everything, everything and by the
way just keep something in mind, next time
you go to one of these fancy colleges
that we pay thousands of dollars and they
teach you that there's a high probability that
we came from monkeys and apes, right and
then there's a picture that it was a
little insect, right, and then this is how
we began, then we started to be this
then we became this, then we became this,
then we became this you saw that image
and picture, right no, no, no, no, we
came educated then we became boogie boogie no
really we became respectful we came dignified we
came to know how to treat people, we
came down knowing how to dress modestly everything,
then we messed up, fair enough, so keep
that what the Quran said, fair enough, alright,
fantastic so then Allah showed the angels the
matters, and he asked them, what's the name
of this what's the function of that, what
does this do, when the angels saw that
what did they say who knows the next
part huh Allah you're free
from any negative you are perfect, you made
the right decision for sure we are reaffirming
it we have no knowledge except the knowledge
you gave us so we will never say
something except it's something that you said and
taught us for the ones that were know
a little bit of depth that's why some
ulema said Allah told the angels some of
the khalifa's progeny will shed blood you're able
to connect it because they said we don't
know except what you taught us, so when
they said the khalifa will have those that
shed blood, that means Allah told them that,
fair enough so your knowledge is infinite ours
is not, you're very wise look at the
name, Al-Hakim, you're wise so let's learn
from the angels to say I do not
know let's try it together, say I don't
know, I know it's hard on some of
us, may Allah make it easy for all
of us, say Ameen I don't know learn
that this is one of the safest sentences
that you can ever say that may save
you from * enter you into heaven this
requires courage to say I don't know it's
not easy, you might shake you might get
nervous just like what happened to your miskeen
brother in Florida, I went to a dinner
and then after the fundraising dinner, a sister
comes up to me and she says brother
I have a question, after the fundraising, I
said what's the question she said is it
okay to donate if I am in death
good question okay, can I donate if I
was in, and what's the answer mashallah, look
Allah Akbar, I got you in my opinion,
I don't care about your opinion right, unless
you're a sheikh and a alim, with all
respect, right may Allah bless you all, right
what's the answer, now I have an educated
guess, but I'm not 100% sure, and
then I'm like oh my god, did I
really say I don't know I'm nervous you
think it's easy, well go in the fundraiser
at the end and you're the keynote speaker
and see what happens, may Allah make it
easy so then I told the sister that's
a really good question, can I donate if
I'm in death, Allah a good question, I
said honestly I don't know the answer, I
suggest you ask a local scholar what did
she say what you don't know the answer
wallahi, unbelievable, you know what she said we
brought you all the way from Michigan to
Florida wallahi and you don't know what the
answer to that question at this point I
said listen qala, right and I was like
right, I'm like that's why I love Dearborn
I'll never make hijra to Canton, anyhow okay
so then I was moved I'm like should
I tell her the educated guess, should I
give it should I tell her I was
just testing your patience I don't know and
I was nervous and I said listen qala,
imagine everything that I learned, this is the
time this is the moment, so I told
the sister listen, I can give you an
educated guess but it might be wrong and
I'd rather be embarrassed in front of you
than be embarrassed in front of Allah on
the day of judgement because I'm signing on
his behalf with all these answers, so I
can I'm not the best of writers just
a reflection you see how I don't know
elevated the status you saw that subhanallah, unintentional,
may Allah purify our intentions may Allah protect
us after this musibah so then I felt
I wanna write something I wanna share to
the world like you guys should not take
it personal when someone says I don't know
and if anything, if I tell you or
someone tells you I don't know about this
your credit should goes up because that means
you know your lane I know what I'm
an expert at I will be very good
in that field so then I wrote an
article it's on Muslim matters about saying I
don't know and even the prophet s.a
.w said I don't know a lot of
hadith and ayat and stories then after I
published the article it went viral, and this
miskeen doesn't write very well so then I
got a call from South Africa I'm like
this is spam or I don't know, Trump
wants me to vote for him I don't
know so then I got a call from
South Africa they said brother, we received and
we read your article and we want you
to come to our radio show I'm like
come to your radio show I'm online, in
South Africa, why?
what's going on?
we have the same problem so it's a
global thing saying I don't know is a
big problem so may Allah make it easy
for us to say I don't know when
we really don't know, sounds good?
alright, fantastic, so the angels they said we
don't know, you know best ya Allah then
look at the display, look at the show
beautiful then Allah calls Adam, Adam comes imagine
all the angels one guy, one Adam, one
human being all the angels as far as
the eye perhaps can see different sizes and
different number of wings all of them Allah
tells Adam tell them, show them what are
the names of this and that how does
this function what's that language, and Adam answers,
answers, answers answers, answers and then once Adam
was done, and what a show what a
performance, what a great righteous creation, intelligent and
room for growth Allahu Akbar Allah says, did
I not tell you?
I know everything so be careful
from falling into a situation where you question
God's wisdom, let this ayah ring in your
mind and specifically this one this one right
here, this one I know what you don't
know, that's what Allah said first so something
happens Gaza, may Allah relieve them from their
hardship in Lebanon all across the world why
is it taking so long where is Allah
in all of this you can ask respectfully
you can ask to be further educated but
never ask in terms of questioning his wisdom
and existence sounds good?
so anytime this comes, Allah knows what he's
doing Allah knows what he's doing that baby,
and you, if you were there I truly
believe, inshallah anyone that was seeing a baby
dying, you will do everything under the sun
to save him, yes or no?
Everything I got a call from an adult
two days ago, about to cry over the
phone, brother what do we do about Gaza,
how do we help a brother, marriage, family,
Allah cannot it's dying can you share some
wisdom just help me my faith, he even
said the word, I'm feeling hopeless and that's
what the shaitan wants you to feel, the
shaitan wants you to get to a point
that it gets so dark in your life
so dark that you ask where is an
-nur, where is Allah the light, where is
he may Allah protect us and forgive us,
so remember this then Allah also said something
similar here, I know everything, the heavens and
the earth and what's in between, then Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala what happens next?
you see the display?
you see the creation?
you see the greatness?
prostrate to Adam what kind of prostration is
this?
worship?
no, respect greeting, welcoming honoring them so every
single angel prostrates except one, did not can
you imagine the scene, are you seeing it?
everyone, prostrating except one, who was that one?
the one that went around the body, it
was fasajadu illa iblees that is why that
is why some scholars they say iblees was
of the angels that's one of the reasons
but we have in surah al kahaf chapter
18 the devil was from the jinn let's
proceed so iblees, he did not prostrate focus
on something, may Allah grant you jannah in
al baqarah, the first story Allah does not
spend a lot of ayat about the devil,
very minimal, other surahs al ahraf and others,
Allah speaks in detail, the focus in al
baqarah, what do you think it is?
what's the word that was repeated quite frequently
in the first story in the Quran huh,
what is it?
Adam, it was mentioned about once, but what's
the thing that was mentioned and mentioned and
mentioned and the theme and that you noticed
wanna try?
huh go ahead, try alif lam mim, okay
okay, you're close, what does that mean?
you're right, you're close, what's the theme?
go ahead sister Allah's mercy, okay, fantastic you
can see it, you can see it in
the verses, alright hadith that I said, siraj
the children of Israel okay, some scholars actually
put this as this page to teach you
that you have people from Bani Israel that
will be jealous towards you just like Iblis
is to Adam, I see that but what's
something that even a young man among us
or woman can notice a theme they read
it in the on the projector, go ahead
Rani I don't know aywa, I don't know
so, what's the theme?
knowledge that's the first theme and one of
the core meanings of the first story in
the Quran that's what makes a khalifa, khalifa
knowledge, you now by 9.30, inshallah we
finish maybe before you leave the room, the
way you entered Allahu Akbar inshallah the iman
increased inshallah the sins erased inshallah the good
deeds went up and the information and the
closeness to Allah, may Allah make it possible,
say ameen so knowledge, but I mentioned to
you earlier in the session the surah al
-baqarah will be the skeleton of the session
but I will go from different surahs and
hadith so I wanna go a little bit
to a discussion a Q&A between Allah
and Iblis, may Allah protect us from Iblis,
say ameen Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says
in the Quran to Iblis, ya Iblis ma
manak what stopped you and what made you
not bow down to the thing I created
with my own hands and Allah wants to
magnify the disaster move that you did which
is not moving you didn't just not listen
to me you disobeyed one of the greatest
things I've ever done, which is creating this
khalifa with my own hands what stopped you
Allah gives him the possible answer, and Allah
knows the answer Allah says astakbarta are you
looking down upon that creation, am kunta minal
aleen, or are you challenging by wisdom, are
you looking down that he's not worth it,
or you're saying it doesn't make sense so
I won't do it, which of these, Iblis
pretty much says a little bit of both
he says ana khayran or ana khayron min
I am better khalaqtani min naar, you made
me out of fire and you made him
out of mud min teen, and I'm not
gonna do it because he's nothing, and I'm
not gonna do it because it makes no
sense that fire bows to mud, may Allah
protect us some people act like Iblis if
it don't make sense, I'm not doing it
so for you to do what Allah told
you you wanna understand the wisdom of every
single thing, some people say yes so if
you want to understand every single thing and
why this and why that, then you're asking
to be a god, and you will never
be one so Allah will share with you
some wisdoms of certain things and then he
will tell you things and will not tell
you why just for you to humble yourself
to Allah, you don't have to understand every
single thing, right?
so here he says no this divine legislation,
he tell me to do this I'm not
doing it, it's not clicking in I am
better than him, so Allah shows anger, Allah
says, fakhruj minha, then get out of here,
you're expelled some said Iblis was at a
high status among the jinn to the point
they used to enter paradise and leave so
because of the one prostration you're out what
about those that have not missed one salah,
a hundred if one prostration with arrogance I'm
not doing it, I'm not a morning guy
I'll pray fajr at 8.30 after my
calculus session that is at 7.30 or
whatever, that level of arrogance towards a salah,
what about subhanallah may Allah protect us, what
about those that don't pray at all, not
just delay it so may Allah make this
session for me and for you to be
committed to salah, because the prophet s.a
.w. says the greatest differentiator the greatest line
between kufr disbelief and Islam submission to God,
the biggest ruler is salah, famantarakaha whoever leaves
it, it's of the kuffar, may Allah protect
us, leaving it, I don't care about it,
leaving it, I don't see the wisdom, why
does God need me to worship Him, you
do not know what Allah knows subhanallah, it's
for your own benefit so then Allah says
you are a cursed individual, then Allah says
get out of here, why, what's my crime
Allah says the crime you are not allowed
it is haram for you to be arrogant
and look down upon people do you know
how bad the sin is Iblis didn't go
kill an angel Iblis didn't go steal stuff
from heaven Iblis didn't go and Iblis just
looked down upon someone that was a crime
to the level that the prophet s.a
.w. the prophet says whoever has an atom
weight of arrogance in their heart they will
not go to paradise an atom weight this
masjid that ethnicity goes to that masjid I'm
not entering that type of person does not
go to jannah, may Allah protect us and
may Allah guide them don't look down upon
people don't be like that brother who I
personally have met and I told him sheikh
so and so with no need of names
he's coming to teach the brother asked me
where is the sheikh from true story I
said the sheikh is from such and such
country wallahi this is what he said you
want me to learn from a guy from
that country till this day arrogant and ignorant
because of who is teaching you, their skin
color or their background and ethnicity may Allah
protect us from arrogance this is the crime
to the point that the prophet one time
a sahabi came to the prophet in one
narration this man cursed me by telling me
this man in medina told the sahabi oh
son of a black woman so the prophet
did he get angry or not he was
fuming he was so upset where is this
man where is he at allahu akbar so
then the man comes then the prophet tells
him you are you are trying to curse
at him by referring to the skin color
of his the prophet was not told this
man slapped me this man robbed me this
man tried to kill my own children this
man committed shirk and kufr this man just
said a racist comment on me and the
prophet was angry then he told him you
still have some ignorance in you and the
man that this was said to was an
older man and he was shocked I still
have some ignorance after all these years on
earth I still after being a muslim there
is still a little bit of arrogance in
me and that man repented and sought to
return back to Allah and seek forgiveness from
that man you see how critical the words
go and the commentary be careful with how
you comment and you label people may Allah
forgive us may Allah protect us and grant
us wisdom so then Allah tells Iblis وَإِنَّ
عَلَيْكَ لَعْنَةٍ وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ لَعْنَةٍ إِلَى يَوْم الدِّينِ
my curse, what does my curse mean my
anger and wrath will always be upon you,
Iblis brothers and sisters cannot repent it was
shut down, Allahu Akbar shut down because of
their arrogance and rejecting Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala until when all the way to the
day of judgment Allah's anger, no mercy will
be shown to him, may Allah protect us
and make us humble brothers and sisters Iblis
he hears this I'm doomed okay Iblis
says if that's the case فَأَنظِرْنِي إِلَى يَوْمِ
يُبْعَثُونَ make my life span, not 60 not
100 years make me live till the last
living being what kind of resume does he
have what kind of experience is he growing
because the jinn has free will so they
also can grow may Allah protect us but
not as good as the human beings so
Allah says yes or no فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ الْمُنظَرِينَ
he gave him this they said something nice
they said if Allah accepted a dua of
a devil he will not accept a dua
of a believer anytime will Allah accept just
go back to this chapter 15 verse 36
anytime you say لا إله إلا الله what's
the matter with you and I Allah accepted
a dua of a devil so Allah says
فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ الْمُنظَرِينَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْوَقْتِ الْمَعْلُومِ until
the appointed day, Allah does not tell when
is the day of judgment then the devil
close, be quiet enough damage, no the devil
goes to Allah and he says أَغْوَيْتَنِي I'm
in that situation because of you يا الله
it is because of you فَبِمَا أَغْوَيْتَنِي chapter
15 verse 39 you're the reason I'm miserable
are we like that?
are we like that?
may Allah protect us the reason I'm like
this is because Allah made me like that
it's in my DNA, it's in my genes
it's in my this, it's in my that
don't play the role of a devil, may
Allah forgive us because just like how there's
Iblis there is Adam and you will see
what happens to Adam so he says أَغْوَيْتَنِي
and because of you and the damage you
caused through this Khalifa, Adam I will never
let go I will never let go of
anyone who tries to get closer to you
his focus is not the nightclubs his focus
is not the drug dealer circles and hubs
his focus are Masajid and healthy families his
focus is you who attended the Friday night
session you are his main target you are
Iblis' avatar he's after there's a target on
every sister and brother he wants you and
he says لَأَقْعُدَنَّ لَهُمْ صِرَاطَكَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ I will
not be on any crooked path they're lost,
I wanna be on the straight path I'll
be sitting on that path to the Masjid,
I'm gonna be on the path to the
part of the closet where you're gonna put
your hijab, I'll be on that one I
will not be on the other side I'll
be on the one on the alarm where
you put it for Fajr I will not
be on the alarm that puts you to
go do a sin with your friends I'll
wake you up may Allah protect us لَأَقْعُدَنَّ
لَهُمْ صِرَاطَكَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ then he says I will
come from the right from the left, from
the front from the back, from all direction
what's your ultimate goal, oh devil so you
may be a complainer and ungrateful, that's his
goal if I get you to be ungrateful
complain about everything complain about the weather, complain
who your parents are, complain about the size
of the house complain about your height, complain
about your eyes, complain about everything then he
has achieved his mission وَلَا تَجِيدُ أَكْثَرُهُمْ or
أَكْثَرَهُمْ شَاكِرِينَ may Allah make us grateful, say
ameen then he says, and you know what
I will do I'll make the earth sound,
look at the most beautiful thing ever لَأَحْتَرِكَنَّ
ذُرِّيَّتَهُ I'm gonna take his children you are
a criminal, you're not just after Adam you're
even after children you know how much he
hates you you, you, you, you know how
much he hates you right when you are
born he pokes you right when you are
born everybody celebrates you, he's angry at your
existence that he's the reason that you cry,
that's what the prophet told us صلى الله
عليه وسلم, that's the level of hate, sounds
familiar not even children are spared sounds familiar
not even a pregnant woman not even animals
are spared may Allah protect us, say ameen
so then he says and I will misguide
them, and I will make them have wishful
thinking and I will paint a fake picture,
and I wanna make them feel insecure, I
will tell them where you're at is not
where you're supposed to be at, this is
where it's really at, I'm gonna make the
ugly look beautiful I'm gonna make them insecure
about the truth, about that which is right
look how they're having fun look where their
honeymoon is at look at the Instagram pictures,
look at you look how boring your family
is, look how boring your religion is, look
how backwards your community and ummah is, look
at it and look at this, do you
not wanna be like this so you feel
insecure what should I do, come here the
devil grabbing, the way we grab cattle, animals,
the reins he will drag, and once they
get there, they see the beauty and right
then and there, it fades away like a
bandaid, right away so they feel very miserable,
hey you promised I will feel better if
I took off my hijab, I feel more
miserable you promised if I sleep in and
miss fajr, I'll be energetic I'm more lazy,
what are you telling me wait, you didn't
try the real deal, come here, takes you
to the other room, and takes you step
by step, till you disbelieve in Allah, and
you become an enemy of Allah and an
agent of the devil on earth may Allah
protect us and does circle, circle, circle, circle
may Allah protect us with that cycle so
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says listen ...
Allah says the truth and the truth is
what I say everyone that listens and follows
you, I will fill * with you and
them anyone who falls for your tricks I
will fill you and them with * ...
the devil says accept the righteous slaves among
you, he has no control over you, may
Allah make us of the chosen ones, may
Allah make us of the sincere ones, say
ameen he tries that, Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala says ...
...
...
my servants you have no control over, so
yes I want you to be concerned but
I want you to keep in mind Allah's
with you, and how do I fight an
enemy that I cannot see ...
Shaitan is an enemy you cannot see so
he might punch you here, you don't know
so the way to fight an enemy you
cannot see, seek help in someone that can
see him seek help in Allah, say ...
so Allah says ...
my servants you have no control over them,
so yes the devil can mess you up
once you forget Allah, when you remember Allah,
the devil is a nobody ...
...
the plotting of the devil is so weak
only when you remember Allah you don't remember
Allah, you fall for the plots brothers and
sisters Allah talks to Adam, and Allah does
another miracle another miracle, what's the miracle?
Adam alayhi salam is not in Jannah yet
Allah does something from his chest Allah takes
a creation, who's that creation?
His spouse his wife, Allah akbar Allah says
...
...
...
O Adam enter with your wife into Jannah,
and you can imagine Adam did not go
to Jannah then Allah gave him a wife
inshallah because the spouses help one another to
go to Jannah the spouse is an essential
part in your life, this is the first
story in the Quran that's what Allah is
emphasizing family family, get the family, then inshallah
you go to Jannah, seek to have a
spouse, don't say ...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
protect us.
So Allah says enter, ya Adam and your
wife into Jannah.
Allahu Akbar.
So we go to Jannah.
Everything is halal.
Except one thing.
What is it?
وَكُلَىٰ مِنْهَا رَغَدًا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمَا۟ Eat everything and
anything, all the rivers, all the trees, everything,
except that one tree.
This one tree, you have millions, you have
billions, this one, don't eat it.
Okay?
Because if you eat it, you'll be an
oppressor.
Oppression, it's oppression when you disobey Allah.
It's dhulm.
I gave you all this and you go
against me, isn't that dhulm?
I gave you this and you thank someone
else and not thank me, isn't that dhulm?
I gave you a laptop, I blessed you
with money to buy it, then you go
use it against Allah, is that not dhulm,
oppression?
I gave you the eyes to see and
you choose to see that which is the
haram and not the Qur'an?
You chose to go and jump and practice
and bench press and all the good stuff
and use every muscle and joint to look
good and look fresh, but you're not willing
to bow down to the one who gave
you the knees and the joints, is that
not oppression?
Is that not the lack of gratitude?
May Allah forgive us.
So then Allah says, eat anything except that
one little tree, otherwise, both of you will
be of the oppressors.
What else does Allah tell Adam, one more
thing, what is it?
Who knows?
One more thing.
If you go to the Qur'an, he
told him one more thing.
This is al-Baqarah.
Close, very close, it's about shaytan.
Allah tells Adam, and be careful.
Allah said, you see the one right there?
You see that one right there?
Who is that?
Iblis.
Allah knows Iblis' plot.
Adam, this man is your enemy and your
wife's enemy.
Don't make him persuade you, tempt you, make
you fall into a trap, slip, eat from
the tree, then you'll be at loss.
Notes taken.
They go, enjoy death.
They're in Jannah, Adam and his wife, it's
not in the Qur'an, I'm not sure
if it's an authentic hadith or not, but
known as Hawwa, the wife, from the word
Hayya, life, the wife, happy wife, happy life,
in Zaman.
So they're in Jannah, having a great time,
and you have to appreciate the Qur'anic
narrative compared to the Biblical narrative, because the
Biblical narrative is very much degrading to women.
Extremely disturbing narration about women.
In the entire Qur'an, you will not
see anything except the complete opposite.
SubhanAllah, and you will see.
Shaytan comes and whispers.
Shaytan comes to Adam.
Some of you are like, bro, how can
he?
I know the story, brother.
I know he ate from the tree, but
how can he fall for it?
How can he fall for it?
Oh, you who is asking, how many times
did you fall for it?
Brother, can we go back to the notes?
Exactly, let's go back to the notes.
Because we fell way more times and many
times than him.
It was that one mistake, and we have
hundreds.
So before you point a finger at someone,
there are three fingers pointing at you.
May Allah forgive us.
So then, shaytan whispered.
Do we know the whispers?
Do we know or no?
Do we know or we don't know?
We know a little bit.
Allah says, the ultimate goal for the devil,
and this may shock many that may not
know this.
The ultimate goal of the devil was what
we mentioned in the previous verse, lack of
gratitude.
And how will he be able to destroy
them?
Look how the devil thinks.
Sometimes you got to think like the devil
in a way.
See how they plot.
The shaytan whispered.
Why?
To eat from the tree?
That's not my goal.
The devil's goal is not to eat from
the tree.
The devil's goal is what will happen after
you eat from the tree.
Make sense?
What's the thing that will happen?
The devil knows something.
If they were to eat from the tree,
they lose all the clothing.
They become naked.
And Allah says, their sawah, which is the
awrah, will be shown.
So I have a question for you who
know Arabic.
What was the other word that I said,
not sawah, the other one?
What's the one that many of us know?
Awrah.
Awrah is the private parts.
Why did Allah say the devil wants to
show their sawah?
What does su' mean?
Su' means bad, means evil.
But our bodies are not evil.
Why is he saying I want the evil,
i.e. the awrah to show?
Because he knows the more you show your
body, the higher risk to fall in evil.
So if I get someone to be very
comfortable showing so much skin, they are at
a higher risk of committing evil and su'
from the Qur'an.
So next time, men and women, do not
belittle the covering Allah told you to cover.
Don't say, oh, it's okay if I do
this, right?
When the guys see this, they're gonna, oh,
faint.
You see these comments?
Do not belittle this.
It might be small to you, but it's
big to Allah.
So it's not about the size that you
think it is.
Just respect Allah's commands.
He knows the more that you show, the
steeper or the slope keeps going down.
A sister came to me, true story, in
Europe.
And she came, I don't know why she
had to say that.
But maybe she's trying to tell me her
state of religiosity.
But she came to ask me a good
question.
She attended an academic class, may Allah bless
her and guide her, ya rabbal alameen.
Then she said, by the way, I'm not
someone that wears the hijab.
But she was wearing hijab and abaya.
Honestly, that may help me with customizing the
answer.
But it did hurt me to hear that,
right?
Number one, I care for that sister, and
I don't want Allah to be disrespected.
So then I answered her question.
Then I asked her, can you tell me
a little bit about your removal of the
hijab?
Because she used to wear it, then she
took it off.
She said, yeah, you know what?
I got these friends in my life, and
I'm still really contemplating going back.
So I asked her a question.
I'm taking a shot, I might be wrong.
I said, how long have you taken the
hijab off?
For how long?
She told me for a number of months.
I don't remember the exact number, three months,
five months.
I said, can I ask you a question?
And feel free to respond.
But if you respond, please be accurate, please.
She said, yes.
I said, how is your salah?
Not talking about anything else.
How was your salah today compared to a
few months ago?
You might say, what does this have to
do with hijab?
I got you.
She looked down, she felt sad.
She said, I stopped praying.
You remember the room?
Come this room, continue praying.
What?
In a hijab?
You're gonna go to hellfire?
Allahu Akbar.
Shaitan.
After that, it's not working, not feeling good,
not doing this.
Let me just loosen it up, do this,
do that, then stop praying.
And men have their examples as well.
But that was a story that Allah willed
that I remember now.
Allahu Akbar.
Slowly.
He has all time long.
He has until when?
Until the day of judgment.
Allahu Akbar.
Doesn't give up.
So you don't give up on Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
Brothers and sisters, as you all know the
ending, the shaitan made them slip.
The shaitan told them, the tree is not
a big deal.
You know why Allah told you not to
eat from it?
It's because you will always be in heaven
and you will be sinless.
He's trying to now justify.
Sometimes shaitan comes to you from the religion.
You see, you see a brother, brother, you
see this girl, she wants to learn about
Islam and he give her your number or
is it haram?
Give her your number, it's okay.
She has a few questions.
Shaitan goes halal, halal, halal, halal, dislike, dislike,
dislike, dislike, then prohibition.
Then he goes step by step, step by
step, then he slips you.
He has some good arguments at times.
Then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, وَقُلْنَاهْبِطُوا
Okay, Adam and Hawa, get out.
اِهْبِطُوا مِنْهَا جَمِيَّعًا You and you and you.
Who's the third one?
Iblis.
Go down.
اِهْبِطُوا مِنْهَا وَقُلْنَاهْبِطُوا بَعْضُكُم لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ You will
be enemies to one another.
The humans and the evil jinn.
There's some Muslim jinn.
You will go down.
It also means among the children of Adam
and Hawa, there will be people that are
enemies.
May Allah protect us as you see today.
وَلَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌ On earth, you will
find provision, food, drink.
وَمَتَاعٌ إِلَىٰ And you will stay there until
the appointed time.
فَتَلَقَّىٰ آدَمٍ Adam has knowledge.
Allah taught him how to say, I am
sorry.
Allah taught him how to ask for forgiveness
and apologize.
So Adam, when he learned to this, what
did he do?
He right away said it to Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
And he says, Ya Allah, I have wronged
myself.
We have wronged ourselves.
We are sorry.
If you don't forgive us, we are doomed,
Ya Allah.
Did Allah accept?
فَتَابَعْ لَيْ You will see this in the
first surah in the Qur'an.
I accepted their apology.
And Allah will say something one more time
before we end.
What is it?
Go down.
He already said it.
He already said it.
Right?
اِهْبِطُوا بَعْضُكُمْ Allah said, descend from heavens.
Then he apologized.
So keep me in Jannah, I am sorry.
No.
اِهْبِطُوا مِنْهَا You were planned and destined to
go down either way.
And even if the sin was not committed,
the earth is for you.
Oh, children of Adam, you are on a
mission.
And you went down to earth forgiven.
Not with a sin on your shoulders.
You came down clean, pure.
And Allah gives you two options.
Those who are guided, follow the Qur'an.
You will be protected, no fear, no worry.
Last ayah, you disbelieve, * forever.
May Allah protect us from the Shaytan.
May Allah protect us from the evil of
our own selves.
May Allah honor you.
Thank you for your patience.
Jazakumullah khair.
As-salamu alaykum.
