Salam alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah while
Allah He was happy woman wala
Allama Zina Halima Allah to the Apollo Bonanza in China what
happened
in Denver?
Last time I signed me up Illumina Lydic Crick
along my jawline Mila Mina darkening Amina shack, Corinne.
I mean,
was Sunday was salam ala Sayidina Maulana Muhammad Phil Oberlin a
Sunday was salam ala Sayidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
salam salam ala Sayidina Muhammad finna been was only was a live

fille Mala, Allah Illa Yomi Dean. I mean,
my dear brothers and sisters, we started
to study together Surah Rahman last time, which is about three
weeks ago. And I believe we covered the first six ideas.
So in summary, as you remember, Surah AR Rahman is,
can be summarized as a manifestation of the Rockman of
Allah subhanaw taala,
about the quality of Rama and it is not about the general quality
of Rama, but it is the Rama of Allah subhanaw taala himself. And
it is summarized in the first iron, which is
our raw man,
the source of all Rama, the ultimate of all Rama, which is the
merciful love of Allah subhanaw taala.
And the rest of the surah you could say is details or an
explanation of or a description of Orion man.
So we talked about that this is unique in that Allah's name is the
entire first iron.
And that this surah
reminds us, Allah subhanaw taala reminds us through the surah of
some of his blessing some of his some of his namah His blessings
and His favors.
And of course, it's not comprehensive in the sense that it
mentions every favor because you could take all the inks in the
ocean, and all the trees could become pens and you could not
still compile the favorites of Allah subhanaw taala.
So Allah subhanaw taala brings our focus by reminding us about some
major things, starting with Allah subhanaw taala says LML or an that
he taught you the Quran which is the ultimate of Allah subhanaw
taala as blessing because it is only through the Quran, that we
can know Allah subhanaw taala It is only through the Quran that we
can succeed in our lives in the dunya and after. Hereafter and
it's only through the Quran that we can approach Allah subhanaw
taala and obey Him and worship him as he wants. So, we must remember
that the one of the greatest favor is that Allah has given us hedaya
He has given us guidance, He has taught us the way to get back to
Allah subhanaw taala to get back to our home in Ghana from where we
came.
So Allah smart Allah puts that as the first ayah Allah man Quran
halacha insert and then he says, that He created us, I love a whole
band and he gave us taught us communication
began to understand to explain to make things clearer to communicate
like no other office creature creation can, that the language
skills and the skills of communications have been perfected
in this one creation of Allah subhanaw taala that we can
understand and communicate in 1000s of languages, the most
complex of thoughts
and then Allah subhanaw taala reminds us of the universe by
talking about the sun and the moon and how he created them. For us
and here it's we must remember that it's not like these things
were created. And then we just took advantage of them. Allah
subhanaw taala created all of this
For us, before creating assay created all of this, and it was
custom created for us, it isn't like Allah created for the
universe, and then he just put men in there. Okay, you can also enjoy
what I have created, there was specifically created for us. And
we talked about what the sun does what why is the sun such a
blessing. And if we just think at a superficial level, we will say,
well, it gives us light, it gives us heat, it makes the trees green.
But it's if you really go into the science of the sun, there is
hundreds and 1000s of things that come out as a result of creation
of the sun that we take advantage of.
Some that we know, like vitamin D, that we know now that they didn't
know them, and so on so forth. If the sun was in there, if the light
of the sun is taken away, there will be no
light, and there will be no life.
Similarly, the moon, which is just little satellite that's rotating
around the Earth, and we know it to say, well, we have it's a nice,
beautiful night. And we, when we are in love, we compare our
sweethearts to the full moon, and all of that, but it's much more
than that. It has to do with the tides and what happens in the
oceans, it has to do with the keeping of the months that we
didn't know that we can worship Allah subhanaw taala in Ramadan
and could perform Hajj at the right time and so on so forth. And
not only that, Allah subhanaw taala purchased a tilt between the
orbits of the, of the Sun of the earth and, and the the moon of 5.1
degree.
And that makes all the difference. If it wasn't all of the phenomenon
that you see, would not take place. So it's such a precise
system. And then you have this just two or three items, the
earth, the moon and the sun that I mentioned, just in this solar
system, and then the galaxies and you have billions of galaxies that
are created that you look at the North Star and you look at the Big
Dipper and the last small Dipper and you can navigate at night
through the oceans without any navigation system that people have
done forever. Okay, all of that are there and yet the mover in at
such tremendous speeds, but they're not colliding with each
other all of this is going on for people to understand that there is
this super system running as a favor of Allah subhanaw taala. And
then we and this is just briefly recapping this because if we can,
we can spend the whole session just on one higher if we go into
the details of it and then Allah subhanaw taala say when Nigel was
sheduled yesterday and that you talked about the the stars and the
trees that they prostrate themselves to Allah subhanaw
taala. And we said one interpretation of najem is the the
plants that don't have the thick trunk, okay.
In other words, whatever is in the heavens, which is the stars and
swans, and whatever is on the earth,
they prostrate they do search that will last one time they do test be
of Allah subhanaw taala as Allah subhanaw taala says, Every
creature is an omen, it's an it's an, it's an aroma of itself, like
the aroma of the ends of the bird zoom of the fish, and they are all
in Tasbeeh of Allah Subhan they know their Lord and they praise
the Lord continuously, the trees, the rocks.
And we saw that miracle that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam
had some stone, some pebbles rocks in his hand.
And the Sahaba heard what
that must be from the rocks.
So what was the miracle?
The miracle is not that the stones were doing the speed they do that.
Anyway.
The miracle was that the Sahaba were able to Allah made them able
to do that.
So everything is interest be submission on Allah Swanton he has
not just thanked us Tasbeeh he is saying
yesterday
yes to Don Sajida What does such that mean to all of you or any of
you? What the search that mean to
submission submission was false submission. Okay. Means and as we
are taught when we are in such that we are closest to Allah
subhanaw taala. So, now take a look at this way, when I'm in such
that
I am claiming to Allah subhanaw taala that I submit to your will
completely
and now I'm admitting this when I am closest to you, which is in
such that right
now
Now, if I claim that and then I go in disobey Allah, I know this is
what Allah ordered and I don't do it. What does that make me
that even in my search the I am lying to rabbil aalameen I'm
closest to you and I'm still lying to you that I submit when I have
not submitted
that I know you told me don't do this, and I'm still doing it. You
told me to do this and I'm still not doing it. And yet I claim that
I submit to you
this is something to reflect on.
Something to reflect on. This is very serious. In other words, five
times say if we just do the fried 17 raka
34 search does 34 times a day I lie to Allah Subhan
Allah I'm claiming and you to one who already knows what's inside me
and what I'm doing
so this should open our eyes, our minds and our hearts. Yeah, Allah.
I do Tober to you starting right now. And I will lead my life in
obedience in full submission. I cannot say that I'm going to do
this when I retire that I'm going to be good when I do this. I'm
going to be good once I've done hudge
I'm going to obey you after such and such
submission means
Samana Altana we heard we cannot claw a claim ignorance the Allied
did not know
that this is wrong
I did not know that Salah was not fourth
I didn't know that such and such thing was not commanded by you.
Yet I claimed I did but I did not.
So this is something that we all need to reflect on. Yes. Well, my
reflection is you guys human beings, we submit you want to do
but sometimes we make mistakes it's not an intent
to do
omission or commission and it is not our intent if we do it that's
why we do it all the time. Allah I didn't know that. So there is a
degree of so that is something that is something different. We're
talking about someone who knowingly and persistently does
not do something that they're supposed to do or do something
that they are not supposed to do. If you have a lapse here and
there. We are all many other that's a different thing.
But if you are persisting on doing something
okay, it's not like you had a slip on time.
Or your person is persistent or not doing something
you were very busy. You looked especially in the winter time
after time had gone okay, that's a different situation.
But I say well
this five times Salah is impractical,
especially in the West, and that was 1400 years ago. I Allah is in
my heart. When I come home at night, I can communicate with
them. I'll do all my salons at that time. And I do that as a
habit.
Okay, that's different. So just to point that, so inshallah we will
start from there. That's where we had finished last time.
Any other questions or comments before we start
holding him in a shape on the regime was rough ah ha Well, what
I need then Allah subhanaw taala says and the heavens the summer
we can use the word skies if you will, frequently translated as
heavens but sometimes people confuse heaven with Jana paradise
is a difference okay. So we have seven summer wet and we have Jana
beyond. So if you call them skies, you could call them heaven, seven
heavens. And then there is paradise paradise is different
than this. Okay? What you see in the universe to have stars and
planets and galaxies. This is in the summer on Earth, which is the
first heavens of first skies, and there are seven of them, each one
unbelievably beggar what is the comparison the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi salam told us after you had come back from his miraculous
journey, you said everything that you see this is some of the new
okay this is level one in first grade. And you said this first
heaven compared to the second heaven is he gave an example
anybody remember
Hala pizza ring.
The size of a ring thrown into an
open desert, that is the comparison of the first one to the
second. And then you said the comparison of the second to the
third is like a ring in the desert. So just imagine multiply
all and then you said the seventh heaven compared to the Arsh not
compared to the Cusi is like a ring in the desert. This tells you
the creation and how vast it is and what little we know what we
see. Scientists tell us 14 point 2 billion light years across so 14
point 2 billion multiplied by the speed of light by you know, that
will give you a what is the know next universe and that's expanding
still hasn't come to a halt and then it'll start to contract at
some point. So Allah subhanaw taala, saying, We're rough he
raised was Samara Rafa, he elevated it so you don't see like
you have a chant like a shammy. Anna, you see something caving in
here, elsewhere in Surah, Surah mulk, that most of you read at
night, Inshallah, Allah Swatara says, look in the heavens, and see
if you can find fortunate, find a defect in it. And he said, look,
again, correct. And again,
when calabasa Your eyes will return with fatigue, and you will
not find any flaws in it. And this is just what we see. Now. They're
talking about gates in there. They're talking about black holes,
and they're talking about so many things that we have no clue of
that unless Martin has mentioned, he's talked about a Bible similar
gates, okay. Which we don't know about. So Allah Swanton has
created telling us look around what was created for you, because
he tells us elsewhere in the Quran that I created all of this, to
serve you. And I created you
to serve me. And you can't really serve me because I don't need to
be served, but to worship Me and recognize me and do what I asked
you to do. If I tell you to do this, you do this. That's all it
is.
Well, what that means, then means then everybody knows the balance.
So Allah says He set the balance.
Now, what does that balance mean to you?
Something to reflect about? What what is the balance you're
thinking of?
is the scale of justice with justice, divine justice, divine
justice? Absolutely, that everything that Allah created is
with justice. And Allah deals with everybody with justice because he
is an adult.
But that's for himself. Is there any other justice to be done?
By us, and that we do as his Califa as his representative on
birth? Every Joomla the brothers go for Joomla and the Hawaiians
with in Allah. Yeah, Morocco. Bill ugly, well, Allah Indeed, Allah
orders you justice every Friday, we are this. Right? And then you
go in the parking lot, and you see how unjustly people have parked
their cars.
Right? Before before that, just go to the shoe rack, if you're lucky,
you will not trip over somebody's shoes and fall over.
Where is the justice?
You know, what justice means? Justice adult versus the opposite
of justice injustice, which is called a volume.
Justice means to give everything its do put every use everything
the way it is meant to be put everything where it should be,
including your shoes.
I suppose all of us had come here and being a little silly. And
everyone said, Okay, take your shoes off. I haven't even put the
shoes on top of their heads. Would that be justice? That's injustice.
This is meant to be on the head shoes are meant to be on the feet.
So Allah commands us justice. He is just nobody's going to question
him, are you just but Allah commands us to be just.
So this balance is that of justice. Now, what is justice?
In our daily lives? Suppose I have a young son, and I prove to him
that I am in charge, I am the father. I will do what I want and
I want you to do whatever I want, whether it's just unjust, do you
think that's justice? Because he's smaller and I'm bigger. But if
that's my justice, just remember whenever injustice is done, it
comes back.
So then you'll hear when you are old and he's strong. He will treat
you the same way.
Everything that we do that deviates from justice will have an
impact as
consequences.
Everything has to be used the way give you an example from the top
vein, which is this second generation after the Prophet
sallallahu lism. It's a well known Tabby story that he, the stabby
had,
or the Allah on had memorized the Quran, and he himself says that
one day, for a few minutes, I did not guard my eyes,
got the buzzer what I should have done.
I was looking at someone in a certain way that I should not. And
that night, I told myself, he said, You will pay for this
at some point, and he said, We'll live 40 years later.
I forgot.
Then I remembered, you know why you forgot to Quran because of
that one injustice that I had done now different people at different
levels.
But whatever we do,
we will see the results of it either immediately
or later. And we may not even link the two together.
Suppose I've been unjust to my spouse, and I didn't pay
attention. Something will come around where I will have the
consequences.
So it's very, very important that every matter, we deal with
justice,
what else is justice balance?
You're hearing about this global warming,
that we have
moved the scales of justice, everything. If you burn too much
fuel, if you do this, if you dig too much, if you cut too many
trees, it will have an impact we are seeing that right. Things are
changing.
Take simple thing. Food
is a necessity you should eat.
But if you start eating before the Halacha and you eat during the
Halacha and you eat after the Halacha is that justice? No.
Yes, yes, then you will see the consequences of that justice. So
food in its right amount is necessary. That's just if you eat
too much, does it? Is it harmful to your health or good for health?
Even things like that water.
Just last week, this week, I had a young lady who came in who had to
Grandma convulsions, epileptic attacks, guess what it happened,
nothing wrong with too much water. Too much water, sodium dropped 214
She had two convulsions, you admitted in Hartford, St. Francis.
Balance.
You know, when you're when you test your blood, that test your pH
should be bought 7.1 7.4.
My wife saying move on to the next.
But I'm trying to drive a point that everything is in balance, no
matter what you do. And I want you to think about it.
To reflect on this, because we the idea is not to go through the
salting and finish up that this balance permeates into every
aspect of our life, every single thing.
And the ultimate balances the guideline that Allah has said that
this is balance. Not this. Not this. Okay. So if we keep
balancing our lives, we will
do
justice. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam went on to
let me correct that.
I'm not sure. But our scholars have said
that
it disbelieving nation
who does justice Allah will elevate them
and a Muslim nation that does injustice. Allah will bring them
down. That's how important justice is.
Okay, so let us look into our lives and see do we
have
justice in our lives?
Because the last one talks about the bucket balances a lot to go
fill me Zan and don't exceed in the balance means don't do Dolman
anyway, little goal big zoom. And the ultimate of volume is what?
Inner blank
lovol manavi Mala smartglasses what is that blank chips chips in
a shaker lovol Manali the ultimate injustice is
that the one who has created all of this, you either deny him or
associate partners with that's the ultimate of the peak of avant, but
every level below that
allow that to go fill me then do not transgress do not exceed those
bounds of justice of MISA and ultimately we depend on the
justice because there is a day of justice and there is Misa on that
allows me isn't and there there is no injustice. Then again,
stressing that three aisles were occasional was not built. histy
wala took several Misa were occasional was nine establish the
weight properly, a payment was not built test will justice wait. Now
if you want to take it in your trading, you're selling grain? You
can take it literally in that. And you know, what do we do in our
country's most times the balances, you put something on it, they call
it dandy Marma they have their own ways of weighing less, giving you
less than what they're charging you find.
And that permeates in many other things, including in our
profession, whatever profession is, you're working as a salaried
employee. And half the time or quarter of the time or even one
minute of the time you spend in personnel things like checking my
email, you're being paid by someone else that is tilting
you're not giving the full view
of what we do.
Allah says don't koala talk Cyril, Misa and don't fall short.
If you're going to make a mistake, give them more.
But don't give less. So this is very, very important. Again, this
is something that we need to reflect on.
From our own personal lives because everyone's experience is
different.
That I don't cheat anyone because
even if I give more guess what's going to happen? Allah will put
Baraka in.
But if I cheat people, that balance will be adjusted on the
day of judgment, but will also be adjusted here Allah will create
circumstances where the baraka will finish from your wealth and
possessions and family and whatever else, whatever Allah
decides.
Then Allah subhanaw taala, after stressing three is on justice, and
MISA says, well, wha ha Lin Anna. Now, last one, brings us to
another one of his creation, which is that the Earth Allah subhanaw
taala says what are how he has spread it out, he has laid it out
with an arm for his creatures.
We can look at that Allah Samantha has laid out the earth. And on top
of the earth, He has put water in certain areas, what's about 71% of
the surface is water
for his creatures, and
now,
we have no clue of what the creatures are. We know some
things. We know things that fly in the air. Some of those we don't
know every type of bird. We know some of the things that crawl on
the earth. We know some of the things that live under the earth.
We know the big things, you know, the ones you know, we go to
safaris and this and that and deer and turkey and all of that. But
it's just a small sampling of the creation and if you go under the
water, the creation there is unlimited unknown many times the
creation what we see on the earth, Allah has laid it down What does
lay down means that he has created a habitat for all of these things
that from that route, they will all find their risk.
They are all living it's not coming from the heavens.
It's all placed in such a balance that one supports the other the
ecosystem.
Yes, the big fish will eat the little fish and then this and so
on. So no all of that. But it's on
the complexities if you make one change like they said this.
Killer Bees have come from Japan or somewhere special bees have
come they said if they have come and the bees have disappeared
because they've killed these bees and what changes to it's just to
be
the hives are gone. If the bees are gone, the pollination will
stop ultimately pollination stops the fruit and vegetables will not
come if that doesn't come the animals. It's all linked. It's not
going to happen tomorrow. But it's so intricately linked with each
other that Allah subhanaw taala says, and he just says, Allah,
Allah, we have spread it out. And that's one of the lesser
downplaying the complexities of what he has done. And then he
leaves it
For us to reflect and think about these things, and we should
it's always a good idea to see some of these National Geographic
videos and things and babies you know, all about, about the earth
it is so fascinating things that we haven't thought about, that we
haven't seen.
Spend some and reflect on all of that watch, you know, everything
you see, you see some Hana lights come spontaneously from because
you look at all of those
fi have fuck you had one naclo that a command. So in this earth,
Allah says, We have created fruits, we have Fuck yeah.
One now.
Nothing is the palm trees, you know, the dates and all of that in
their clusters, but a command.
And again,
I don't think anybody if all together, if we were to make an
effort to count the fruits that we know of, we still wouldn't be able
to count all the fruits that Allah has created. And then in each
fruit, let's take an app.
There are over 100 varieties of apple, the apple farmer will tell
you this is this, this, this this and they're all distinct. And with
the with the pears and with the grapes and everything unique. So
all of these were created for
for you to recognize the rub that he is providing to enjoy them.
So that at least you recognize him and you say Allah.
Like, I'll hunt, you provided this, rather than just take it for
granted, which will do you to regale you with some pick up one
grape here we do something, pick up something. Drink some juice,
you know, what has gone? What is behind that juice that is sitting
here?
Where did the water evaporate?
Which ocean? Do you have any idea?
Where did those clouds go? To what levels no idea which angels push
those clouds? Where did it rain?
Which plants were growing there that were fed by that water? What
came out of the earth to create this, this grape, and then who
picked it up in which land? You have no idea, put it together in a
juice which truck companies carried it to which store and then
somebody else didn't pick it up because your risk was written it
ultimately it came here and then it came into this household.
And I thought it was mine. But it wasn't because Dr. Mateen drank
because it was written in his account.
See, so we have no idea.
We just take you know give me some juice. Like think about that
juice. Maybe you will not want to drink it. See ya Allah
do you have permission to drink this? Will I be able to thank you
enough for all the processes that have gone through to bring this to
me.
And that is the story with everything else that Allah has
given us that we enjoy.
just mentioned, fear forget there are fruits, just generic illness,
illnesses.
Wonderful Windex and there are hundreds of varieties of dates,
hundreds of varieties of dates go online and you will see and they
are distinct in taste.
Well hobble the last few words
and the grain Allah subhanaw taala talks about the grains he doesn't
mention how many grains you have, from rice to wheat to corn to
maize to go on and on and on.
With the husks on them, you know us the husk on husk grain and then
how they are created, how they're saved from some for the birds some
for you. And then how they're treated. You're on the farmer does
this and all the work that goes so that we pick up a little piece of
bread which we will have a list with no idea where it came from.
We don't even know if it came from America or from somewhere across
the oceans.
Who was the farmer who sweated over it? Who watered it who
grounded
piece of bread.
So we have to think we have to be thinking people because once we
think what's behind this
inshallah we'll develop some
reasonable recognition of Allah subhanaw taala and then only we'll
be able to thank him to some degree
insha
Allah make us among the ones who recognize and who see him and
everything.
And
thank you.
Then after all of this, Allah subhanaw taala for the first time
says a Furby, a ye learn Arabic Ummah to cut the back now lies as
we said in the dual format. He's asking then which of these favors
of Allah do the two of you deny the two of you we talked about
last time anybody remember what the two of you are?
Jin?
Jin kind and the mankind and everything from now is addressed
both to Jin kinda and mankind.
Furby he, then Allah suffer means I've given you a few samplings of
what I have done. Then which of the favours of your Lord Do you
are you to deny?
And last time we said this is the ion that keeps recurring how many
times anybody remember, we mentioned it last 31 times 31
times repetition? Why?
Because we are creatures who learn by repetition.
keep hammering, keep hammering till it becomes you want to
memorize the Quran, you got to keep doing keep doing keep doing
repeating anything you want to become skilled at a job, you got
to keep doing keep doing. You want to become a good doctor experience
before they ask you how long you've been doctors the day before
yesterday. So can you find someone else for me? Because I want you to
be doing this for 10 years before I want to trust my body to you in
everything, repetition, repetition. So Allah subhanaw
taala is hammering this at us in a very unique way.
By asking a question,
he's asking a question
which of the favors do you do?
And the answer is obviously, what the jinn gave, what did the jinn
say to the when they heard this i?
Anybody remember what the respond in English
anyone
Larbey shaman Nanak Robina
Naka double, for lack of
our Lord, we do not deny any of you
any of them unto You is all Praise.
So, we must remember
this idea will come after every one of two of the following is and
then I want everyone to correlate.
Allah says this and how does it fit with this? Because I will ask
you there are some where you will be challenged a little bit to say
how does this fit with Furby a year later and
now Allah subhanaw taala goes to the creation of mankind. And says
Carla Carla in Santa mon Sol Sol in CalHFA, har Allah in San now
you were created. Allah subhanaw taala says from clay like potter's
clay like clay that dried you know partners once you those who have
come from you have seen pottery clay when becomes hard and makes
it sound uncomfortable to you make a solid pottery potter's clay
Allah subhanaw taala saying now that holla call in Santa mon Sol
Sol in Kalfa har that like pottery.
Now, he had said that we created all of this we created the earth
we spread out the earth we create the earth for as a means for all
of the creatures for their sustenance and all of that. And
then he said we created you from the source you are part of this
earth because your ingredients are exactly what this earth contains
nothing that the body has is not what is from the earth
so what does that mean
let me also tell you that Allah mentioned we created you from dust
you created you from water.
When you say clay means the same ingredients water and mud and dust
Mix becomes clay. So there are different mentions of the same
thing so somebody you know if you say from clay is correct we say
from water it's correct. If you say from dust, it's correct. It's
all all the same. But what is it telling us?
The earth is laid out in submission to
Allah subhanaw taala.
If a piece of that Earth stands up six feet tall,
what should he be doing?
He should still be in submission to Allah Subhan Allah because
that's his origin
he shouldn't feel oh, I am the Burj Khalifa I am so big, I'm so
tall. And why do I have to?
What is your origin, dirt, dust,
even even IBLEES understood that remember?
These are made from fire. I'm better is made from dust from dirt
thorough.
So this should make us humble, humble beginnings, humble
beginnings and, and
not go to the other extreme humble beginnings and humble end because
you will become the same dust again.
So one time
this happened in Iraq, one arrogant Khalifa of the time, who
had become monarchs with his whole entourage of armed guards was
going along.
In his journey, and he came across this puppy who was worthy of Allah
subhanaw taala.
And
he sort of challenged him he said
Ask me whatever you want I will give you
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? Know he asked that man. You don't know who I am yet and maybe
it doesn't. I know exactly who you are. You said who are you?
You said you were 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 us. We are dirt we are
mud.
Hello Al Insana.
Mean salt silent Kalfa hardware Hello Carl Jan maraging Mina
because both are being addressed men mankind and jinn guide and
Allah smart Allah says and he created Jen coin from the flame of
the fire, some have translated as 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
gens are more unstable. They are created from fire this also 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 congest
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. Something submission, submission,
not rationalization. If we had submitted, he was up there with
the angels. When he 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 are status.
And if we follow the path of a bliss, then we can fall below the
law
Other 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
their 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, aka 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 Karina Bonilla, the mullah sua 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 Adam, and then give us extra honor
by being in the amount of Siena rasool Allah Subhan Allah when he
was the special
rubble must retain a wearable must remain. That's the next I a number
17
mashreq everybody knows mashreq
Shahrukh means whether whether it rises rising east we call it
Madrid
Mushara machinery pain means that's a dual form the two is are
the two risings and the two settings to West's. So, a 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, yeah and the summer itself.
So two means Allah is the rub of that. Now some have said, when you
said the where 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 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 summer that day, and
brings no night what would that be? Your T alternative? In a free
healthy summer it will work the laffy Layli when the alternation
of the 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, they are our
favorite, but here last month, honestly, Robert, now imagine the
favor of the Rob who created all of this rubble machinery pen,
here's the rub of everything.
East and west and everything in between and all direction.
Elsewhere, Allah subhanaw taala is 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 rugby command to cut the band. Then which of your Lord's
blessings do the two of you deny? So
Get 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
hearts, 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,
Mara gel, Reina Yael Tapia that Allah has allowed
the rain the the two seas or two bodies of water to come together
the freedom that they come together
yellowtop pIane. Luca to mean meet that they meet, 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 bridge,
there is a barrier that Allah has created. Okay,
freshwater fish will come to this, and 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 translate. In other words, saltwater does an
overrun completely into the even when the storm comes, yes, some
few waves will come. But as soon as it's over that balance is
maintained. This also 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 come in
from the mountain. And I actually have pictures clear border between
the two. That's the eye of Allah
and they don't transgress it. Like I said, my move forward 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 NAMA bars the whole liability and there is a barrier between
them which they do not transgress Cross for be a liar because now we
can only answer that phobia Yeah, like if we study what the
saltwater 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
have? What is the pH of this water? What is the calcium
content? None of that was known. And that told us in a simple way
then staying with the water of the theme of the water Allah subhanaw
taala says yes, hello Joe minima Lulu well Mirja
that he takes out comes out from that. From the water. Look blue 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 part who
would have thought
there must have been that first human being
whether it was in Barcelona
Whereas someone 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 it,
you know, when you go somebody will, you know, open it in a pink
pearl will come out real ones.
It's beautiful. And it's there for who nobody can see them there
inside the shell then 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 that next time, my sisters were pearls, they should
sell hamdulillah Allah, I don't know which portion of 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 and
Jaquith, which we're going to talk about and emeralds and all of
those. They 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 turned 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 had put all of these treasures in the earth, and then
he gave somebody the idea, now is the time for you to do this, who
would take you know, a mile into the earth. I mean, if I started
digging in a mile in the earth, and nobody knows what's gonna be
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, Samantha. 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 chips 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 ton 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 Samantha 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 would not create
built it. Even if 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 one
right. Allah's reminding us
while the whole Giovanni moonshot to fill ILM and his To Him belong
Walla who to him what all of those big ships that look like mountains
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 the brain 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 be a year, because 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 swan. 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 command it to
sink so it's floating by my command, and it sinks 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
and find risk
from Asia to United States of America and elsewhere.
That you travel the earth and must want to let is function traveling
the Earth.
travel by land traveled by sea travel by air again you can look
at this, logically should this these airplanes be flying in the
air they should be falling. So they fly by the command of Allah
and they fall by the command of Allah.
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. Why ye Boca Wedgwood, a
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 cool Loma Alia, in everything
in existence will perish including the angels.
The narration is Raphael la sala Stan 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 Jibreel, La Silla, Mikaila Salam,
everything gone, then Allah will say who remains? And then it's
Raphael Elisa Lam, you know, just imagine shaking over there, thank
you, Allah is 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,
* Moloch where are those who claimed kingship?
Where are they not that nobody there to answer. And He Himself
will answer a little lie in why he didn't 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 expected.
It's from the same earth whether it's from different and so on, so
forth, and then
here afterwards, so Allah subhanaw taala is telling us don't attach
yourself to things that are
perishable.
Well, yeah, but ca Alba 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 allies like Lisa can miss Lishi like nothing else,
no 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 say that
the ones who created the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb were
the ones who created the two I again wrote who invented
gone nobody don't notice their names even so called nominally
fine we should always remember that.
Well, yeah, because one should have because Angela forbid a liar.
And
then Allah smart Allah says I'm going to end after a few more.
Yes, Allahu Hmong fish summer YT will od Kula yo men who are
feature
Yes, Allahu manifest sama. Everything that is on the earth
and the heavens ask Allah.
For what? For their needs, either directly or indirectly by words or
by hand.
If I'm dying, if a beast if
deer is dying because of thirst,
he may not ask for his to Allah says the base 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
Musa, Hulu monkfish, Samoa to 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's 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 fulfill every day. The kind of
complexities that Allah is
aren't 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? So be a
law be command.
So if he is 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
Him and you will show gratitude to him. So Allah subhanaw taala
makers among those who reflect May Allah smart Allah make us among
those who recognize him out
As you shouldn't 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 subhanaw taala always help us to worship Him the
way He wants, in spite of all of our failings and all of our
weaknesses Subhan Allah Hunnewell of the hemlock, Masha Allah
