Hello colleagues,

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

then Allah subhanaw taala distinguished this insight by the

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

next time he says, I love a hole by air.

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

And he enabled him taught him by and what is beyond the ability to

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

communicate the ability to express yourself

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

when we express ourselves with our tongues with our words, but we

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

also express ourselves with

00:00:49 --> 00:00:53

facial with the eyes, because these days we with our eyes, we're

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

wearing masks

00:00:57 --> 00:01:00

with facial expressions with a body language,

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

all of that is in by hand.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:11

That Allah subhanaw taala gave the human beings that level of

00:01:11 --> 00:01:15

communication of language that is not seen in any other office

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

creation.

00:01:19 --> 00:01:23

How many languages do we forget about? Anything else? Just count

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25

the numbers of languages? Does anybody know?

00:01:29 --> 00:01:32

That or something like that dialects. I'd forgotten. I've done

00:01:32 --> 00:01:38

some work on it before. And how many 1000s have become extinct.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:47

Okay, I love my whole band. Allah subhanaw taala taught us these

00:01:47 --> 00:01:52

languages. He taught us the expressions and all of that.

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

And who did he teach first?

00:02:01 --> 00:02:06

Salam was taught directly by Allah subhanaw taala every the names of

00:02:06 --> 00:02:09

everything that even the angels did not know.

00:02:12 --> 00:02:16

Allah is the best of teachers. He says Allah Quran he is the best

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

teacher,

00:02:18 --> 00:02:22

as Allah has man, and the best teacher from his creatures from

00:02:22 --> 00:02:25

his creation is Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam.

00:02:31 --> 00:02:34

So this ban is another thing you should reflect on.

00:02:35 --> 00:02:39

I was reflecting on these things yesterday I said, the true

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

value of these things

00:02:43 --> 00:02:46

can be somewhat understood, we still don't,

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

if we imagine

00:02:50 --> 00:02:51

we lost it.

00:02:53 --> 00:02:58

Suppose you lost the ability to talk, or communicate or to

00:02:58 --> 00:03:01

understand and this happens. We see this

00:03:02 --> 00:03:06

in the medical field, especially in my specialty, where people come

00:03:06 --> 00:03:07

in with aphasia.

00:03:09 --> 00:03:12

In a way they can talk, they know what they want to say nothing

00:03:12 --> 00:03:16

comes out all the other kinds of aphasia, they're hearing all of

00:03:16 --> 00:03:22

you, but it makes no sense. Or one that includes global effects they

00:03:22 --> 00:03:25

can understand they can you know, what is the existence of this

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26

verse?

00:03:28 --> 00:03:32

If Allah were to take us away, take this away. How much would we

00:03:32 --> 00:03:33

appreciate it?

00:03:35 --> 00:03:38

I mean, right now we talk about the gift of the gab, you know,

00:03:38 --> 00:03:40

talk, talk talk, we love to talk.

00:03:42 --> 00:03:46

One of my the young students might say, well, if I lost the ability

00:03:46 --> 00:03:47

to talk,

00:03:49 --> 00:03:50

I can still text.

00:03:52 --> 00:03:58

And there are devices that can convert the text into voice. Well,

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

guess what?

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

When you have global aphasia, you can't even text you can't form the

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

words.

00:04:11 --> 00:04:13

There's no getting away from the blessings of Allah.

00:04:15 --> 00:04:19

So I reflect on this, that my ability to communicate, my ability

00:04:19 --> 00:04:25

to show love, to show caring, to console somebody, to help somebody

00:04:26 --> 00:04:31

to advise somebody, everything else, to show my child that I love

00:04:31 --> 00:04:34

them, to show my parents that I respect and honor them. It's all

00:04:34 --> 00:04:35

gone.

00:04:41 --> 00:04:44

Then Allah subhanaw taala after reminding us of these personal

00:04:44 --> 00:04:49

favors, of guidance of creating us and giving us this ability to

00:04:49 --> 00:04:52

talk, Allah subhanaw taala

00:04:54 --> 00:04:57

then asks us to look around us in the universe.

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

Next idea

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

Shamsul kamaru Because

00:05:07 --> 00:05:13

everybody knows what shum says in the sun, in the coma The Moon has

00:05:13 --> 00:05:18

ban he was banned again the two are mentioned as was banned, means

00:05:18 --> 00:05:19

they have

00:05:20 --> 00:05:22

a computed

00:05:24 --> 00:05:26

settled, balanced

00:05:27 --> 00:05:30

or bid movement that Allah has created

00:05:31 --> 00:05:35

comes from hisab which is calculated perfectly timed.

00:05:37 --> 00:05:43

The movements of the sun and the moon are perfect. From the time 14

00:05:43 --> 00:05:48

billion years ago 14 point 6 billion whatever they estimated,

00:05:48 --> 00:05:53

till Allah brings it to an end, it will work in perfection.

00:05:56 --> 00:05:57

If the

00:05:58 --> 00:06:03

Sun or the Moon were to divert from that track by

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

1,000,000,000,000th of a degree

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

in a billion years,

00:06:11 --> 00:06:12

everything would come to you

00:06:18 --> 00:06:24

now Allah subhanaw taala mentions this sun in the moon, do we take

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

the sun as a blessing

00:06:26 --> 00:06:30

in the wintertime? Yes. Or if he'd had a week of cloud and read the

00:06:30 --> 00:06:35

sun comes out, do we take it as a blessing. Now put the same formula

00:06:35 --> 00:06:38

if the sun were taken away what would happen

00:06:42 --> 00:06:47

simplest first thing that would happen is darkness. And then after

00:06:47 --> 00:06:47

that

00:06:49 --> 00:06:54

everything's freeze everything will cease to exist the plants

00:06:54 --> 00:06:58

will die, the animals will die, we will die everything will be

00:06:58 --> 00:06:59

finished

00:07:04 --> 00:07:06

if the moon were taken away what would happen

00:07:12 --> 00:07:17

same thing would happen why? Because the gravitational pull of

00:07:17 --> 00:07:21

that moon that pulls that does whatever 16 degrees or so, that

00:07:21 --> 00:07:24

gives us our seasons and gives us those things that manages the

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26

tides

00:07:29 --> 00:07:35

will change the atmosphere to that degree that stone in a few years

00:07:35 --> 00:07:36

everything would die

00:07:41 --> 00:07:44

now how else are the sun and moon are intimately linked in our

00:07:44 --> 00:07:45

lives?

00:07:49 --> 00:07:50

On a daily basis,

00:07:52 --> 00:07:56

calendars dates time, what else?

00:07:58 --> 00:08:03

Seasons what else? Come on not physical in here

00:08:10 --> 00:08:14

you are called to Allah subhanaw taala five times depending on what

00:08:15 --> 00:08:17

the moment of the Sun

00:08:18 --> 00:08:22

the most important act of a bada is linked to the sun in a way

00:08:22 --> 00:08:26

we're not worshipping the sun. Allah said he created them don't

00:08:26 --> 00:08:29

in fact he says don't worship the sun in the moon worship me.

00:08:30 --> 00:08:33

How about the moon? Is that related to you?

00:08:38 --> 00:08:39

Calendar what else

00:08:42 --> 00:08:45

same Obadiah of Allah subhanaw taala

00:08:47 --> 00:08:50

to more blessed to more duties that we have to Allah subhanaw

00:08:51 --> 00:08:54

taala dependent on the moon what are their command we argue about

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

it all the time.

00:08:56 --> 00:09:03

Not the Ramadan. You want to go to the one desert before doing any

00:09:03 --> 00:09:06

work, Ramadan and

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

Hajj.

00:09:10 --> 00:09:16

So three of us four acts of Ibadah are linked to the sun in the moon.

00:09:17 --> 00:09:21

So is that not a manifestation of man the through this he

00:09:21 --> 00:09:26

facilitates us to worship him and fulfill the purpose for which we

00:09:26 --> 00:09:27

are created

00:09:34 --> 00:09:37

when Nigel was sheduled who yesterday

00:09:40 --> 00:09:45

Nigel the singular as opposed to new Doom Allah subhanaw taala says

00:09:45 --> 00:09:52

and the star but here men stars. N che Szeged are trees that have

00:09:52 --> 00:09:55

hard stems trunks

00:09:56 --> 00:09:58

yesterday, what does that mean?

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

As

00:10:01 --> 00:10:07

they prostrate, they do Sajida to Allah subhanaw taala. However,

00:10:07 --> 00:10:11

there is one other meaning of the word najem. Anybody know that?

00:10:11 --> 00:10:12

Yes?

00:10:14 --> 00:10:15

Yes.

00:10:16 --> 00:10:22

foliage, bushes that don't have Hearthstone. So, all the herbs,

00:10:22 --> 00:10:27

all of that the bushes that don't have hard stems, Najim is also

00:10:27 --> 00:10:30

used. So there are people who have said, if you can take it both

00:10:30 --> 00:10:35

ways, the stars and the trees and the trees and the bushes, they all

00:10:35 --> 00:10:39

Yes, Juden means they worship Allah subhanaw taala.

00:10:40 --> 00:10:41

Now, you might say,

00:10:42 --> 00:10:44

how do they worship?

00:10:46 --> 00:10:52

Have you seen trees in such a way that other than when they break or

00:10:52 --> 00:10:53

after a storm?

00:10:59 --> 00:11:03

One is one is by the shadows?

00:11:04 --> 00:11:08

Do you think if the tree had the ability to go and such that like

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

we do and stand back up? Do you think they would do that?

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

Absolutely. But Allah kept them like that.

00:11:16 --> 00:11:21

But Allah subhanaw taala says, you sit down in Lima office, somehow

00:11:21 --> 00:11:22

it will or whatever.

00:11:24 --> 00:11:29

Everything that you know that you don't know, from the rocks, to the

00:11:29 --> 00:11:35

fish, to the stars, to the angels, to the genes, to the cells, of

00:11:35 --> 00:11:36

everything,

00:11:37 --> 00:11:41

they glorify do to us we have Allah subhanaw taala they worship

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

Allah.

00:11:44 --> 00:11:49

But he says, but you do not understand

00:11:50 --> 00:11:54

law if you do not understand that as we

00:11:55 --> 00:12:00

if we had been given the frequencies to understand what the

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

trees are saying, when you hear the leaves rustling, you don't

00:12:03 --> 00:12:09

know what they're saying. When you hear the door open key, you don't

00:12:09 --> 00:12:12

know what it's saying, when you hear the door shut with a bang,

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

you don't know what they're saying, when you do this.

00:12:17 --> 00:12:18

You don't know what that is.

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

Everything's in Tasbeeh we don't understand it.

00:12:26 --> 00:12:30

One other way in which they are in touch via just be means in worship

00:12:30 --> 00:12:33

and glorification of Allah, everything

00:12:34 --> 00:12:39

is that Allah subhanaw taala says, that I have created everything to

00:12:39 --> 00:12:40

be of service to

00:12:42 --> 00:12:45

who men asked Anita when the best of my creation.

00:12:48 --> 00:12:49

So we are

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

the top of the pyramid.

00:12:54 --> 00:13:00

And the fact that all Creation serves us and is available to us,

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

whether it's an elephant who is 15 or 50 times your power, who use

00:13:05 --> 00:13:08

you subjugate and who will obey you

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

to everything else

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

is for your service.

00:13:16 --> 00:13:19

That is their way of worshipping one way of in which they worship

00:13:19 --> 00:13:23

Allah because Allah created them to serve human beings.

00:13:25 --> 00:13:29

So, they are serving human beings by allowing themselves to be used,

00:13:29 --> 00:13:30

whichever way this

00:13:31 --> 00:13:32

creature wants.

00:13:34 --> 00:13:37

So if all of them are serving Allah subhanaw taala and

00:13:37 --> 00:13:43

worshiping Him by being subjugated to us should not the one who is at

00:13:43 --> 00:13:45

the top of the pyramid

00:13:48 --> 00:13:49

worship Allah

00:13:53 --> 00:13:57

so this is another thing to reflect. This is another thing

00:13:57 --> 00:14:05

where we should not like as kids, you know, we see bushes if nothing

00:14:05 --> 00:14:06

else, I break a leaf.

00:14:08 --> 00:14:12

My dear child, that leaf wasn't as we have a blast.

00:14:15 --> 00:14:21

We see some bugs, we just stamp on them. The ends know who you are.

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

What is the proof of that?

00:14:25 --> 00:14:30

They said the army of Sunni Miry Salaam is coming and what they

00:14:30 --> 00:14:35

might do. unknowingly. They even know that the army of Solomon

00:14:36 --> 00:14:39

Islands Salah would not kill us knowingly they say, without

00:14:39 --> 00:14:41

knowing that we are so run.

00:14:42 --> 00:14:46

Every creature knows what's our reflex when we see a bug of some

00:14:46 --> 00:14:51

kind, kill it. Synthesis of Allah Swatara leave it to no

00:14:54 --> 00:14:58

unless it's going to harm you directly. You feel that then

00:14:58 --> 00:14:59

you're permitted

00:15:00 --> 00:15:05

But with that, not as a as a pastime, not for

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

fun.

00:15:08 --> 00:15:10

And let's get the frogs out. Let's see how hard we can hit it on the

00:15:10 --> 00:15:11

pavement.

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

There are creatures of Allah

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

that interests me.

00:15:19 --> 00:15:20

So let us be

00:15:21 --> 00:15:26

aware of this, that everything isn't Asli of Allah, everything

00:15:26 --> 00:15:30

the trees, only two things I mentioned, the stars, the trees,

00:15:30 --> 00:15:32

bushes, they do search the farms

00:15:38 --> 00:15:44

I think we will end this with having covered whatever six or

00:15:44 --> 00:15:48

seven islands that we've covered. Because I don't want to rush

00:15:48 --> 00:15:53

through this, we need to reflect on each one. And now that we've

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

gotten some framework,

00:15:55 --> 00:15:59

you have a whole month to practice and think of each one

00:16:01 --> 00:16:05

of the favors of Allah. And if we reflect on those favors, what's

00:16:05 --> 00:16:07

going to happen to our hearts

00:16:09 --> 00:16:12

even if a human being does one thing, good.

00:16:14 --> 00:16:18

Let me just give you an example. I have a new secretary in my office

00:16:18 --> 00:16:23

today. And this week, every time she sends a message she puts a

00:16:23 --> 00:16:24

little smiley face

00:16:25 --> 00:16:28

so I appreciated that I didn't tell her that but I appreciate

00:16:28 --> 00:16:30

that. So little things that people do.

00:16:32 --> 00:16:37

Now when you look at all and Allah is above all comparisons, if you

00:16:37 --> 00:16:40

look at all the favors What will your heart fee

00:16:41 --> 00:16:47

gratitude, shocker. Yeah Allah I am certainly not deserving of this

00:16:48 --> 00:16:52

and the only reason this is coming all I'm drowning in your blessing,

00:16:52 --> 00:16:53

because you are

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

alright

00:16:57 --> 00:17:01

alright man. So that man when we hear

00:17:02 --> 00:17:06

rich should give such joy to our hearts if somebody is feeling

00:17:06 --> 00:17:07

depressed

00:17:09 --> 00:17:11

think of a rough man and everything will go

00:17:13 --> 00:17:18

because even no matter how difficult the situation is, it has

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

come from a rush man. So it must have some goodness that I can see

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

in it.

00:17:25 --> 00:17:28

So please reflect on those. We are going to

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

end here

00:17:31 --> 00:17:36

for this particular session, and inshallah I hope

00:17:38 --> 00:17:40

it's been of some use

00:17:42 --> 00:17:46

to some of us Hamdulillah I found that useful for myself and

00:17:46 --> 00:17:50

ultimately, that's the most important because if I don't

00:17:50 --> 00:17:53

benefit and if everybody else benefits then I am the greatest

00:17:53 --> 00:17:56

loser like that show greatest user.

00:17:57 --> 00:18:01

So may Allah smart Allah accept the coming and understanding of

00:18:01 --> 00:18:07

this and facilitate for us and open our hearts to his, his

00:18:07 --> 00:18:12
