00:00:20 --> 00:00:20
			As Allah
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			by his
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			merciful
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			love and loving mercy
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			and by his grace upon us and favors
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			upon us human beings,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			he told us of the early genesis of
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			the human being.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			That the beginning of the human being
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			was, as all of us know, I hope,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			from the Quran
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			that, when Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			before even he created
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			the human being
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			Adam
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			and Hawa, our mother Hawa.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			He, subhanahu wa ta'ala, addressed this
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			angelic presence,
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			the angels, the Naorani creatures,
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			and tells them I am going to create
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			a being,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			which we call Bashar, a human being.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			I'm going to create
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			a being, a human being,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			from a dry clinging clay
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:24
			originating
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			from stinking mud.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			I'm gonna create a human being like that
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			physically.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			That's first.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			Faidah
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			sawaytu
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			wana faktufihi
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:39
			merruhi
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:41
			faqa'olahu
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:42
			satidim.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			Then when I had fashioned him,
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			completed him,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			the physique
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			part of it,
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:52
			and
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			when I would have breathed into him
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			of my spirit,
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			of my ruha.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			Then lay yourselves
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			prostrate
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			to him.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			And what Allah is telling us
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			that he
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:12
			ordered
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			his most elect of creatures,
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			the, these
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			light creatures,
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			these creatures always in the presence of the
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			divine,
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			to lay themselves
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			to
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			this creature
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			made of stinging,
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:33
			stinking
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			clay.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			But he said that happens only when
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			and after I breathe into
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			him of my spirit, of my ruha,
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			of the soul that Allah created,
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			which I would say is clearly
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:51
			indicative
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			of
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			the essential reality
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			that the worth of the human being
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			is not on account
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			of the human being's material
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:03
			realities,
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			nor material
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:06
			requirements,
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			nor material pursuits.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			The essential reality of the human being
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			lies
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			in the Rojhani
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:15
			dimension
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			of that human being.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			And then
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			and therefore,
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			how could I
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			forget my essential reality?
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			How could I not nurture
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			and feed my essential reality, my ruhe?
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			How could I focus
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			and emphasize in my life
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:36
			my physical requirement
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			and forget,
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:39
			and relegate
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			to second or no position
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			the requirements of my ruhe.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			And that's,
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			again, another fundamental reason
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			why I and you and everyone
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			should emphasize
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			the spiritual dimension.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:00
			Our bodies, even this physical body which we
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			sometimes are obsessed in nurturing.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			And I'm not saying that we should not
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:09
			take care of our physical body. There is
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			a balance that we need to strike
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			that this beautiful deen teaches us.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			But that obsession,
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			even that obsession, if we looked at it,
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			we'll realize in in this,
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			essential reality argument
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			that we are wrong.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			Because this physical body is made mostly of
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			what?
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			Of water.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			2 third of this body or 3 fourths
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			of this body
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			is water.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			And some of our
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			wise, alhamdulillah,
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			spiritual
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:39
			psychologists,
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			if I can use the term of old,
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			have said the following. It's beautiful. This is
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:49
			about centuries and centuries ago, these beautiful observations.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			The human being is mostly water.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			And water comes from where?
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			From above, from heavens.
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02
			Water comes from above, from heavens. And heavens
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			is above, is in the realm
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			of the above, of the beyond.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			In other words, even our physical
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			body
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			is mostly is telling us I am from
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:15
			above.
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			I'm from above
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23
			and that other part in us, which is
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			earthly, is perhaps 1 third or 1 fourth
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			of it only
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			everything in us is
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:30
			screaming
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			in this latent
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:37
			beautiful spiritual way. I am spiritual.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38
			Don't strangulate
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:42
			me by feeding me everything
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:46
			about my material side my material side exists
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			but it is only 1 fourth or 1
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			third of me
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			even that part in me
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			most of it is from above,
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			is heavenly.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:57
			SubhanAllah.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			And this is
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			some of what
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			we we we share with one another
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			when we are here and more about
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			why we are here and why we should
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:09
			be
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			in Teske.
