As Allah
by his
merciful
love and loving mercy
and by his grace upon us and favors
upon us human beings,
he told us of the early genesis of
the human being.
That the beginning of the human being
was, as all of us know, I hope,
from the Quran
that, when Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
before even he created
the human being
Adam
and Hawa, our mother Hawa.
He, subhanahu wa ta'ala, addressed this
angelic presence,
the angels, the Naorani creatures,
and tells them I am going to create
a being,
which we call Bashar, a human being.
I'm going to create
a being, a human being,
from a dry clinging clay
originating
from stinking mud.
I'm gonna create a human being like that
physically.
That's first.
Faidah
sawaytu
wana faktufihi
merruhi
faqa'olahu
satidim.
Then when I had fashioned him,
completed him,
the physique
part of it,
and
when I would have breathed into him
of my spirit,
of my ruha.
Then lay yourselves
prostrate
to him.
And what Allah is telling us
that he
ordered
his most elect of creatures,
the, these
light creatures,
these creatures always in the presence of the
divine,
to lay themselves
to
this creature
made of stinging,
stinking
clay.
But he said that happens only when
and after I breathe into
him of my spirit, of my ruha,
of the soul that Allah created,
which I would say is clearly
indicative
of
the essential reality
that the worth of the human being
is not on account
of the human being's material
realities,
nor material
requirements,
nor material pursuits.
The essential reality of the human being
lies
in the Rojhani
dimension
of that human being.
And then
and therefore,
how could I
forget my essential reality?
How could I not nurture
and feed my essential reality, my ruhe?
How could I focus
and emphasize in my life
my physical requirement
and forget,
and relegate
to second or no position
the requirements of my ruhe.
And that's,
again, another fundamental reason
why I and you and everyone
should emphasize
the spiritual dimension.
Our bodies, even this physical body which we
sometimes are obsessed in nurturing.
And I'm not saying that we should not
take care of our physical body. There is
a balance that we need to strike
that this beautiful deen teaches us.
But that obsession,
even that obsession, if we looked at it,
we'll realize in in this,
essential reality argument
that we are wrong.
Because this physical body is made mostly of
what?
Of water.
2 third of this body or 3 fourths
of this body
is water.
And some of our
wise, alhamdulillah,
spiritual
psychologists,
if I can use the term of old,
have said the following. It's beautiful. This is
about centuries and centuries ago, these beautiful observations.
The human being is mostly water.
And water comes from where?
From above, from heavens.
Water comes from above, from heavens. And heavens
is above, is in the realm
of the above, of the beyond.
In other words, even our physical
body
is mostly is telling us I am from
above.
I'm from above
and that other part in us, which is
earthly, is perhaps 1 third or 1 fourth
of it only
everything in us is
screaming
in this latent
beautiful spiritual way. I am spiritual.
Don't strangulate
me by feeding me everything
about my material side my material side exists
but it is only 1 fourth or 1
third of me
even that part in me
most of it is from above,
is heavenly.
SubhanAllah.
And this is
some of what
we we we share with one another
when we are here and more about
why we are here and why we should
be
in Teske.
