So one time
this happened in Iraq, one arrogant Khalifa of the time, we
can monarchs with his whole entourage of armed guards was
going along
in his journey and he came across this puppy, who was, well you have
Allah Subhana Allah.
And
he sort of challenged him. He said,
Ask me whatever you want, I will give you
I said,
you have nothing that you can give me.
He said, How dare you say that I am the monarch Khalifa?
He said, Don't you know your origin? Don't you know who you
are? No, he asked that man. You don't know who I am. He thought
maybe it doesn't. I know exactly who you are. He said who are you?
Said your dirt.
You will end with dirt in between your container carrying feces.
That's what you are.
Isn't that the reality?
This should make us humble in front of
dirt.
In Santa
min salt Silent Cal fahara Hello Carl Jan maraging Mina because
both are being addressed men mankind and jinn guide and Allah
smart Allah says and he created GenCon from the flame of the fire,
some have transliterated smokeless fire, but a flame
marriage and mean now.
Now there is a hint here
is flame more stable, or the earth is more stable.
The earth is more stable.
That Allah is telling us that your status is little higher that you
have stability, from the roots from which I created you. Whereas
the jinns are more unstable, they are created from fire, this also
known as wisdom, yet the one who was created from the fire was
arrogant about it.
In front of directly in front of a command of Allah.
Do search there in front of Adam. He used his rationality.
He said,
this injustice why because I know who I am, but because I'm from
fire.
And he's
there contest.
What that teaches us that in front of a command of Allah subhanaw
taala. When you know Allah has said this, there is no logic to be
used. No rationalization. submission, submission, not
rationalization. If he had submitted, he was up there with
the angels. When you rationalized against a command, it became the
lowest of the low. And is there is a prototype for us. If we submit
with no ifs, ands or buts, we are above the angels higher than the
angels our status.
And if we follow the path of least then we can fall below the levels
of animals and everything else says in the Quran. No, they're
worse than animals. And we see exam living examples of that look
around but people are doing
So here Allah Subhana Allah tells us our origins and our we don't go
beyond that of how but we need to know as part of our image that we
are created from this. The genes are created from fire now we don't
need to go into too many details of the Jin Chi. We believe in the
creation we know they exist. We know they're also questionable. We
know that at least is one of them. And there are more details which
we don't need to go into.
Then Allah Subhana Allah says Furby AI Allah be kumbaya
together.
That's reminding us that this is Look what I have created. One who
Allah calls the best of his creation. I saw no takeaway from
dust. Isn't that a great blessing that I took the lowest things dirt
and made the best of my creation? Isn't that a favor to you? Isn't
that a favor? Isn't that Karana bunny the mullah Swan Tala says we
are honored when you
take something
like that and made it into something like this. Okay, so we
thank Allah subhanaw taala for making us this we could have been
nothing we could have been behind. We could have been a bird, it
could have been a fish we could have been a gin.
Yet Allah
honored us to be from the bunny herder and then give us extra
honor by being in the amount of say Donna rasool Allah Subhan
Allah when he uses the special
rubble machinery, tiny wearable mud remain. That's the next I a
number 17
mashreq everybody knows mashreq
Shahrukh means whether when it rises rising east we call it
Madrid
Mushara must retain means that's a dual form the two is or the two
risings and the two settings to West's. So, the common
interpretation of this is that
the mushrik, the east of the summertime and the east of the
wintertime, as you see if you see the sunrise it rises over there in
the summer, and in the winter is rises from there. So the two
extremes to ease and in similarly when you see the settings and in
the winter sets here in the summer itself.
So two means Allah is the rub of that. Now some have said, when you
said there were the sunrises and where the moon rises, that the two
rises as opposed to the direction and where the two sets the sunsets
and the moon sets. We know both of those, okay, that all of these
phenomena, of the moving of that creates direction of sun, and of
the setting
creates day and night which is a blessing for us to sleep to go out
and earn that creates for us, you know, months creates all of that.
Allah subhanaw taala is telling you to look and reflect on that
and think of that as a blessing. Because it is
I mean, how often do you want because Allah smart Allah says if
he were to make Night continuous, who would bring out the sun?
What kind of life would that be? Just imagine, if you can't imagine
go to the North Pole and live there in the in the wintertime for
six months and see what it's like when you won't see any light. And
similarly, he says if Allah were to make certain day and brings no
night, what would that be? Your T alternative. In Fe Hello, this
similarity will work the laffy Layli when the alternation of,
there are blessings, there are signs of Allah, that you can rest
you can go to work you have, you look forward to the day, and so
on, so forth.
So if you look, if just reflect of that, and what the summer does,
what the winter does, what these movements do their favor, but here
last month on a rug pulled now imagine the favor of the rub, who
created all of this rubble, machinery pain, here's the rub of
everything,
east and west and everything in between in all direction.
Elsewhere, Allah subhanaw taala says wherever you turn your face,
which doesn't mean that you can pray in any direction, you still
need to determine the table and do that. But if you don't know,
remember that.
So be a be command to cut the band, then which of your Lord's
blessings do the two of you deny? So again, every time we can go
through this rapidly and we can finish this but what I want to do
is leave you with this thing of wanting on your own to reflect on
each of these things. Because the more you reflect the more impact
it will have on your hearts on my arts, okay. And it's endless sit
alone by yourself sit with your spouse or with your children.
Let's talk about let's reflect on these things.
So from there, now, Allah subhanaw taala is number 19 He brings us
back to the earth and there is a certain sequence that is there. Up
there down here up there down here here up you will look at the
sequence if you reflect on it you will find some extra special
beauty because it's nothing is haphazard Allah's arrangement
Maharaja Reina yet appear that Allah has allowed
the rain the the two seas or two bodies of water to come together
the freedom that they come together.
yelled Tatiane Luca to mean meat that the meat okay.
And as we said earlier, about 71% of the Earth's surface or three
quarters of the Earth's surface is water.
And in that fall, but
5% is salty water,
which you can drink, it goes in your nose, if you're on the beach,
it burns. And if you go in the Dead Sea that's even worse. And
then you have you move five yards, you've got fresh water. So
wherever you see fresh water coming in which you can drink and
they meet and Allah so Allah says, By now Houma bars the whole line
between them is a barista.
There is a barrier that Allah has created. Okay.
Freshwater fish will come to this, they will go back saltwater fish
will come to here and they will go back because they can survive.
They're made custom made for each of those. And there are some that
are made just to where the two come together. But there is a
barrier they don't transfer. In other words, saltwater doesn't
overrun completely into the even when the strong comes Yes, some
few waves will come. But as soon as it's over that balance is
maintained this all this is the balance of Allah subhanaw taala.
If that balance was upset, nothing would exist. If there was no salt
in the seawater universe would have ended long ago, because it
helps in the purification of all the garbage that we produce.
Read about these things we just say well, it's salty water, what
is the benefit of that salt that Allah has put in certain
proportion in the sea.
So Allah subhanaw taala is reminding us again, that he is
brought to and there are some areas I've seen this in Turkey and
some people who have gone to Cape Town they say we can see the two
oceans coming together and you can see a line and I've seen this in
the in the Black Sea north of Turkey, where the rivers coming
from the mountain and I actually have pictures clear border between
the two. That's the eye of Alaska
and they don't transgress it. Like I said my move for a few feet here
and there but they will remain distinct
because in that there is sustenance for everybody that's
the balance that allows me
by nahama Barza whole liability and there is a barrier between
them which they do not transgress Cross for be a lie or become
Attica diva now we can only answer that for MIA Yeah, like if we
study what the salt water does, what the freshwater does and what
the balance is there. And this was found this 1400 years ago this was
revealed. And the scientists have since confirmed these sorts of
things which you can now see because they have means of
testing. I mean 1400 years they can check how much sodium does it
what is the pH of this water? What is the calcium content? None of
that was known or not told us in a simple way.
Then staying with the water, the theme of the water Allah subhanaw
taala says yes, hello Joe minha. Lulu well Mirja
that he takes out comes out from that.
From the water. Lulu is pearls Marjon coral reefs in beautiful
coral.
Now who would have thought under this water, they're going to find
something in which they're going to be a beautiful little bird. Who
would have thought
there must have been that first human being
whether it was in Barcelona, or whether it's somewhere else who
was just swimming
and dive to the bottom and saw a shell
shell let me take it brought it out. Opened it
what is this?
What is this? Have all of you open the show a live shell to get your
when you go somebody will
open it in a pink pearl will come out real ones.
It's beautiful. And it's there for who nobody can see them. They're
inside the shell. They're in the bottom of the ocean for you and me
for our sisters.
And similarly on the corals, the reefs. Beautiful, beautiful,
beautiful Allah has created and you take it out to beautify
yourself. So next time, my sisters were pearls they should sell
hamdulillah Yeah, I don't know which ocean or which river this
came from and who brought it up, but you created it for me. Let me
where it thanking you. And that's the same thing with everything
else. I mean, you can take that into all else that we you know,
take you know whether it's carbon that Allah put in the earth that
then became diamonds, and whatever else and rubies in Jaquith which
we're going to talk about and emeralds
and all of those that were all created for us. And then Allah
Swan and they were there forever. And then Allah subhanaw taala gave
us the knowledge to discover the
like all the laws of physics just like these materials. I mean, who
would have thought that if I keep digging in the earth, I'm going to
find something black
and then I find Black Rock, I bring it out, what do I do with
it? Someone was given the idea try and light it
then becomes cold and you can keep warm with it.
Who would have thought that you dig? I mean, you try digging in
the backyard after a while you get tired in this dirt that you keep
digging, some liquid will come out which
which will then people will fight and kill over called oil. So Allah
Swanton, I put all of these treasures in the earth, and then
you give somebody the idea, now is the time for you to do this, who
would dig you know, a mile into the earth. I mean, if I started
digging in a mile in the earth, and nobody knows what's going on,
this guy's gone crazy, right? But look,
and how to use it. All of that knowledge was given by Allah
subhanaw taala. So everything that we use, no matter what we take
natural gas, where does it come from, who put it there, who
discovered who was made to discover it, who was then given
the, the idea of how to use it, how to package it, how to
transport it, I mean, you have to transport gas, nobody even knows
how to transport gas, you can only do it in a certain container and
you can pipe it and all of those, that knowledge has been given by
Allah subhanaw taala. And just from this idea, you can go into
all of the things that are from the earth that we use
everything
so be a liar, because Allah subhanaw taala gives us one
prototype of each. And then he leaves it for you to imagine and
thinking and going to reflect on it.
And then just in case once we found all of this, and we are
doing all of this and now we have
first wooden ships and boats.
Then we have metal ships floating on the water.
Does that defy logic? You can put a pin on a glass of water without
it sinking. Now we've got hundreds of 1000s of tons of metal floating
on the water. And then we've gotten big build these big cruise
ships.
You know, 10,000 people on it keep getting bigger and bigger,
hundreds of 1000s of tons. And they're walking like mountains on
the water.
So Allah swans and then we say, some of us who created some things
like this would dare to make a statement such as
about 100 years ago.
What was the statement of those who created Mac will not create
built it even God wanted to save this even God cannot sink the
Titanic. Really?
How many voyages Did it have? One not one finished before it got to
its destination not even more.
Right? Allah is reminding us
while the whole Giovanni minutiae to fill the helical ILM and his To
Him belong wala who to him? What all of those big ships that looked
like mountain sailing across the water, don't think that you
invented or created it, that it's yours, it belongs to Allah because
he takes it down when he wants. Okay, we see that all the time.
He's the one because what you built all the material was given
by Allah, all the expertise was given by Allah, no matter what
kind of engineering the brains that went behind it, the expertise
by Allah all the computers that went behind it, what was given to
the brains and the chips and all of that all the material was Allah
subhanaw taala all the know how was Allah so it belongs to him.
But we take pride in what we create. So Allah subhanaw taala is
reminding us while a whole Java
while the whole Java wants to fill back recolor lamb whatever you
see, floating across, you know, my my yard, my boat, my this my ship,
my cruise ship, everything belongs to Allah subhanaw taala
for a year, because of the fact that it floats like I was saying,
defying the laws, that heavy metal is floating on the water. This is
a blessing of Allah. So that's why he's saying, Do you deny this
blessing that I permitted this law to take place that something so
heavy can still float without sinking? Unless I commanded to
sing so it's floating by my command you
It syncs by my command, don't just say to yours.
And we see that all the time. And he did that why? So you can travel
the earth
and witness the blessings of Allah spanner and find risk
from Asia to United States of America, and elsewhere.
That you travel the earth and must want to let is function travel and
travel by land traveled by sea travel by air again, you can look
at this, logically should this these airplanes with flying in the
air they should be falling. So they fly by the command of Allah
and they fall by the commander.
All of this is a blessing to facilitate life for us make it
beautiful, and easy.
Now, just in case there is any confusion that this belongs to me,
this is mine and mine and mine because of my achievement. The
next is says couldn't lumen la have fun, while yearbook which
would have because
everything that's on the surface, everything that's here, everything
in creation is fun, will be what
will perish will be destroyed.
So don't take pride in anything because this is only existing by
the command everything depends on alpha you for its existence.
There was nothing there was no universe and there was ALLAH
and there will be no universe because it will reverse back to
that and there will be nothing left could, Loma Alia, in
everything in existence will perish including the angels.
The narration is Rafaela lenstra standing there with his I
shouldn't even use the hand but with the sewer, ready for Allah's
command, and one day when that command comes and he blows that
everything will die, including Gibreel and acela, Mikhail Allah
salaam, everything gone, then Allah will say who remains and
then it's Raphael Alisa lamb, you know, just imagine shaking over
there saying yeah, Allah does just you and me. So, you die by my
command also and he will die
then Allah subhanaw taala
will say
another Malik, I am the king
al Malik, where are those who claimed kingship?
Where are they know that nobody there to answer and he himself
will answer Lilla Hill wa he they will COPPA
law alone.
And then Allah will resurrect and all of that. So, the universe will
return to non existence like it was.
And then Allah will recreate that bring this thing together in a new
format. A new sun will come for the Day of Judgment, a new flat
land will be laid out what the origin of that is not, whether
it's from the same art, whether it's from different and so on, so
forth. And then
your afterwards so Allah subhanaw taala is telling us don't attach
yourself to things that are
better show.
Well, yeah, Ba Ba, ba P. Who's MRP the one who remains Allah, what
Jehovah because what the countenance the face of Allah
remains. That's just the way so when he says his face, we say
Allah has a wedge, but we don't compare it to what his face must
be. There is no Allah is like Lisa can mislead she like nothing else,
not of his creation. He says he has a watch, he has a watch, he
says he has a yard which means hand in but nothing compared.
Okay? So Allah says, Only His countenance his face will remain
means only Allah remains essentially. So who should you
attach yourself to? Who should you pin your hopes to on the dunya? Or
the bank account or my power or my weaponry? No, it will all perish.
If it doesn't perish before you you will perish before
how many generals and kings left their armies and died.
Let me see they're
the ones who created the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb were
the ones who created the tool I again, who invented
God, nobody don't notice their names even so called nominally
have fun. We should always remember that.
yeah because one should have because Angela forbid a liar
because
then Allah subhanaw taala says I'm going to end after a few more. Yes
Allahu monkfish sama why it will odd Kula Yeoman? Who affiche?
Yes, Allah who manifest some everything that is on the earth
and the heavens ask Allah.
For what? For their needs, either directly or indirectly by words,
or by *.
If I'm dying, if a beast if a
deer is dying because of thirst,
he may not ask wise to Allah sees by his condition, Allah sends
rain. So everything asks Allah for their needs.
And for us, it's not just the physical needs of survival. It's
our needs of the roar of our guidance and everything else. Kulu
Yes, Allahu monkfish, Samoa to Allah. Everything on the heavens
and earth, ask Allah subhanaw taala for whatever they need.
Kula Yeoman, who efficient and every day he manifests that he's
actively handling all of that, for everything.
Somebody is asking for something. Somebody's asking for something.
In 5000 different languages people are asking some people want
protection for something, somebody needs. This, that's the human
being the jinn kinds are asking the animals need something, the
earth, you know, everything that's created is in need of Allah
subhanaw taala it's not just on autopilot, they still need
and they in their own way, ask learn without even they're asking,
Allah knows the needs and fulfills every day. The kind of
complexities that Allah has.
Or just handling but
causing to exist
is
so nobody should feel that you know, Allah so busy. Where will
you have time for me? Or Allah so busy? How will you know that I'm
disobeying him in the darkness of my life somewhere? Right? For me a
lot Arabic Romantica so if he's providing you and he is of all of
you things, should you not be grateful? So in which of these can
you deny?
I plan to do a few more, but we've gone an hour and 10 I think if
it's okay, we will end with this iron, iron number 30. What do you
think it's almost eight o'clock and then we'll try and complete it
the next time if possible, in two weeks, inshallah.
So, in summary, Allah subhanaw taala reminds us through His
creation, to ourselves through what we've been provided of all of
these blessings, which are part of his Rama, Rama, Rama and that he
not only created you, but he provided everything that you need
to recognize him to thank him to worship Him. And it keeps asking
us to reflect my making the statement over and over, reflect,
reflect, reflect because if you truly reflect, you will recognize
them and you will show gratitude to
Allah Samantha lawmakers among those who reflect their loss
Mantella makers among those who recognize him as he should be
recognized, may Allah smart Allah make us among those who are
constantly in his liquor and in his sugar. And may Allah subhanaw
taala always keep us under his protective gaze. And may Allah
Subhana Allah Allah always help us to worship Him the way He wants,
in spite of all of our failings and all of our weaknesses Subhana
