But I'm into Memphis summer in Usila alikhan Cassava for citta
Allah Munna que finale.
Or do you feel secure that the one who is in the heaven
and you're Salam aleikum has ever that he will not unleash from
above you
and send like a raging storm of stones of little pellets that will
rain down on you like hey
that Allah subhanaw taala makes the rain come down we experienced
the team makes the small hail come down it makes total big hail come
now and he can rain stones which he has at times like on the people
of Luton SLM and so on. So, you know baked clay pellets came last
month Allah says Why do you feel so secure that if you disobey
Allah subhanaw taala this will not be your fate that he will rain on
you stones first Attalla Moon okay for now leave. So that finally you
come to know by experiencing that of how true was My warning? Okay
for NaVi INSCOM Nadi navire. How
what kind was My warning and can also mean my warning. In other
words, take the warnings seriously Allah subhanaw taala is giving us
two warnings in the next eye on number 18 Allah so Allah says,
well, cannibal Ledeen I mean Kubla him for K for Kana Nikki.
And indeed now Allah smart Allah is mentioning for the kuffaar of
Makkah, because of the makan surah. And for kofod of all times
and for all of humanity, while a cut cannibal living I'm in Kabul
him that your denial of Allah subhanaw taala is not unique,
because there were indeed people
who denied Allah subhanaw taala
before them before these people, the Quraysh Allah mentions
the past histories of previous nations, that indeed, those who
came before them, also denied Allah subhanaw taala. They denied
his revelations, they denied His messengers who came before they
denied his warnings. And the challenge the messengers, they
would say, Bring on the punishment, if you are true.
Then Allah subhanaw taala said, then the punishment did come.
And it came at his command. And it came on a timeframe that he
determined not by their request, for k for can and a key, then
Allah subhanaw taala says, then how terrible and how awesome was
my destruction, my rejection of them,
how I denounced them, how I denigrated them, how I destroyed
them, how I disgraced them, Nikki denied,
as if they didn't exist. So the ones who were rejecting the truth
became the ones who were rejected.
So this idea also implies that those who are rejecting the
message, which would be subjected to the same or worse punishment
and destruction in the dunya and then what is waiting in the Accra
is even worse.
So this is for us also a reminder because what we see sometimes we
get impressed with, so Allah subhanaw taala, saying, Don't be
fooled by those who disobey, who reject the truth. Don't be fooled
by their worldly success, by their
technological progress, by their military power, by their wealth.
Those who reject this message, Allah subhanaw taala can disgrace
them and utterly destroyed them in one second, everything can change.
And we see the tiny examples of this destructive power, the janal
of Allah subhanaw taala. When we experienced paralyzing snowstorms
when we see volcanic eruptions, when we see earthquakes when we
see tsunamis, when we see tornadoes, hurricanes, no matter
how sophisticated and powerful the nation is, it's brought on its
knees, these are tiny, tiny soldiers of Allah Subhan Allah.
So Allah subhanaw taala is telling us learn from history, history is
for learning.
That there are nations that are much more powerful, that don't
exist that were destroyed, destroyed only because they
rejected the truth.
Then Allah Subhana Allah says,
our lamb Euro Illa 24 pounds
So are fighting while you're bitten. Now you'll see Kahuna Illa
Rockman, in who will be cliche him but see.
So if you're looking at the Earth and all of these phenomena now
Allah subhanaw taala asks us to look up into the heavens and
marvel at the birds are lost. Renata law says, our lamb Yarrow
electoral reform,
do they not see above them the birds
Sipho to weigh up Ben sofar to means spreading their wings, while
young women, pulling them back, spreading them and pulling them
back. Interestingly, Allah subhanaw taala first mentioned the
spreading and if we study the mechanics of the birds, they spend
more time with the spread wings spread out than withdrawn. So
unless Montana gives us that hint.
And Allah Swanton said Do they not see the birds? Now he just says
birds. As some of you might know, when you look at the birds, there
are more than 10,000 species of birds. And each one has a
different flight pattern. Different signature, Allah
subhanaw taala saying look at them and study them.
And science tells us that the flapping flight where you have
mobile winds is much more difficult than fixed wing flights
like we have on the airplanes, because the dynamics become
unsteady when they're flapping. So Allah subhanaw taala say, marveled
at this, who keeps them up?
Because this is an interesting example because through the ages
and even today, starting from childhood, I don't know if you had
the experience. We always wanted to fly. We'd like to be pilots. We
dream even in our dream sometimes we are flying.
Flying has always fascinated men.
Now Allah subhanaw taala saying just look at the birds flying. And
then he asked the question, Who keeps them up?
My Yun sicko, Hoonah Illa Rahman, Allah subhanaw taala says, Who
young see Kahuna who holds them up in the heaven, except a rough man.
And he uses that, that this is his mercy, that he holds them up. Now,
Allah subhanaw taala just tells us to ponder on this. What does it
take to fly
man with all of his intelligence, how long it took him to learn to
fly to to make things that can fly and how they fail.
Yet, Allah subhanaw taala adapted the birds
for flight they were made to fly. So let's look at some of the
scientific facts.
To it to be able to fly, you need to be light. So Allah subhanaw
taala made the bird the bones of the birds hollow.
And then he covered them with feathers which are light.
He did not give them teeth and a nose because they are heavy to
chew.
So instead of that, he said they will eat these hard things, these
grains and the seeds where they will not chew it. But he put a
gizzard in their stomach, which will grind it right there.
He made them lay eggs so they don't have to carry the baby
inside that would make them heavy.
And he made the diet
tiny but very rich in using very high usable energy.
A lot of calories in small quantities. He didn't give them
bladders to carry urine in them and become heavy, so that excrete
as soon as it's produced.
And then so made them light then Allah subhanaw taala made the
tails in the wings, the wing bones very small proportionately, and
you attach the wing bones in the front to keep the sent because you
need to have the center of gravity dead in the center to fly. So for
the birds when they spread their wings, the center of gravity is
exactly between the wingtips in the center and from the tip of
their nose to the tip of their tails. That is exactly what the
center of gravity is. Dead center so that it makes it easy for them
to fly. Every part of the body is adapted to fly.
Now birds have lungs, they hold very little air and they are kept
flat against their back back ribs. They don't
A Call of the chest because then the center of gravity would move
down. But Allah has moved everything else into the chest.
And then from those thin little lungs, there are air sacs in the
belly lower part to keep it light so that the center of gravity is
in the right place.
And he made the lungs specially efficient to extract oxygen at
high level.
So, when we see birds flying as Allah tells us to look, you will
see some birds flying with the neck stretched out.
Forward, like the cranes, and some of them you will see flying with
the next pullback
like that.
This is like the herons. And why is that because just by moving the
neck straight forward or back, they make the center of gravity
exactly where they should be.
Now, Allah says look how they fly. We have the big birds Albatross,
which has thin long wings, the albatross can glide and soar for
200 Miles four hours without a single beat.
On the other hand, we have hummingbirds this size that cannot
rest their wings for a second. Do you know what's the frequency of
the beating of the hummingbirds average 53 beats per second as
high as 80 and sometimes 100 have been recorded per second they're
beating
and they're not just beating it's a figure of eight like this.
And the little bird their heart rates are at 12 163 beats a minute
and these little hummingbirds that are this size
beating at that rate
they cross the Gulf of Mexico
to come into Texas and ultimately to Canada the days fly nonstop 500
miles across the Gulf of Mexico in 20 hours multiply 20 hours by 60
minutes by 60 seconds and multiply that by 53 beats no fueling no
stop across the ocean they reach across the Gulf of Mexico hola
smile gala sang Look at that.
Look at the flight patterns. The woodpeckers swooped down, the crow
flies in a straight line and the swallows darkened every which way
they go.
Allah subhanaw taala saying just look at that, who holds them up
who created this channel. Like for us to
to be humbled with
Illa rock man, this is a rock man in who we could only shame Busey.
And indeed he sees everything. He sees every bird, he sees every
butterfly, he sees every insect in the darkness of the night. In the
in the bottom of the ocean, he sees every fish, he sees every
creature under the mountains. And of course, he knows everything
about the best of his creation, which is an insect.
So unless Montana's telling us about his knowledge, about his
awareness, so that we become aware of him
now we come to iron number 20. After reflecting on this, Allah
subhanaw taala says,
A man had the lady who I didn't do like I'm young sort of commend
dunya Rockman in El Cafe Runa elaphiti weru Allah subhanaw taala
asks a rhetorical question.
The question the purpose of this question is to remove the delusion
of the disbelief
because the disbeliever only sees power
and wealth and benefit in worldly means. Allah subhanaw taala is
asking a question.
And Manhattan Ludy June doula comeon Sirocco.
Do you feel safely secure, which is that army that can come to your
help and protect you from Allah, then from eternal punishment,
which is the army
and men have a Legenden locker which is this army for you, that
can help you?
Men donor man, other than a rock man,
again, showing his mercy that in spite of this rough man is
inviting you.
Allah subhanaw taala
us telling us look in history. Look at the armies of around what
happened to them. They drowned. Look at the armies of Alexander
the Great.
Gone small island is left look at the armies of Napoleon gone look
at the German armies gone look at the Roman legions god, look at the
British Empire gone Allah smart Allah who can sustain you. All of
these were given temporary hegemony, the power to dominate
and leadership for a period of time by Allah.
Allah subhanaw taala saying come back to a man
do you have a backup plan?
Can anyone protect you? The answer is no.
In a careful Runa elaphiti rule, indeed, and Kathy rune are in rule
in delusion.
And here Allah subhanaw taala uses Cafe rune which is the verb is the
noun as opposed to mine yet for the verb because the noun is
permanent, and verb keeps changing means careful rune, those who will
remain disbelievers, those who are disbelievers in the past, who
persisted those who will come not just the Quraysh, but even in the
future, the capital, they always live in this false reality of just
thinking that dunya will will do this for them. They are fee war or
war means complete delusion.
The completely deceived
in Allah subhanaw taala uses the word a ruler. A ruler means the
one who deceives and Allah uses that for shaitan and his forces
and people who are like shaitan, who deceived people. So here Allah
smart Allah saying the Katha Luna fever or they are immersed,
they're fully surrounded, the in delusion, they are self deluded,
in spite of all of the evidence, all of the failures and blessings
of Allah subhanaw taala. They deny and they are still going off wrong
assumptions.
Then Allah subhanaw taala asks another rhetorical question.
A man had the leather years of soccer riska ballad, you fear to
being wonderful. On this one, again, wants to remove that
delusion, the deceit of the disbeliever Do you feel secure
that your risk
and as we said risk is every provision everything that you need
to be sustained to live when it's your food? Because sometimes you
only think risk means money. It's your food. It's your drink. It's
the air that you breathe, it's the shelter, the protection, the
clothes, the wealth, the health, the family, the offspring, the
companionship, everything that you need, is your response. Allah
subhanaw taala says,
A man heatherly Yours Zuko come in I'm Sokka Risca
who is the one who will provide you in unsick in unsanitary Skyfi
with holes it if he Allah subhanaw taala were to withdraw or to
withhold from you his risk, because it all belongs to Him.
It is sent down from him from the heavens from the summit. Because
Allah smart Allah says in surah Zarya, he says with this summer,
it is Coco. We're mad to Adam, and it's in the heavens. That is your
provision, it is there and that which you were promised.
Now, what do we see coming down from the rain, we don't see things
coming down except things like rain and rain and risk have
parallels. Because rain itself is a risk water. Because water gives
life without water, there would be no life, but risk is similar.
Rain is unpredictable, your risk is unpredictable. When the rain is
going to come one your risk is going to come where the rain is
going to come when where your risk is going to come from and you
there is no control of the rain with anyone except for the law.
Similarly there is no control of risk with anyone except with
Allah.
So Allah is reminding us by asking this question, who will provide
for you risk if Allah pulls it back?
