The speaker discusses the importance of the ruha in the spiritual nature of Allah's spiritual teachings. The ruha is the source of life of the human being, not the source of his own. The ruha is the means by which he made his spiritual teachings possible, and it is the source of his spiritual work.

			As Allah
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			mentioned to us
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:26
			in the early
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			genesis of the human being
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			That the Ruha is that which he
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:35
			instilled
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			and created,
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			breathed and created into the human being
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			from him as the wajjud
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			in ways beyond
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:45
			any modality.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			And
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			that is
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53
			what made the human being worth
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:54
			anything
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			And most importantly,
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:58
			worth
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			that the elect and most select
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			of the creatures of Allah
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:04
			The angels
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			to be ordered
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			to show reverence to the human being and
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			to lay themselves prostrate
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			to the human
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:15
			being. That ruh is that Lapreehar Abbaniyah,
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			that divine
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:17
			subtle
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			of the beyond creation of Allah, a zu
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			jal, that is also the source
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			of life
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			of the human being.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			The source of human life,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			not the source of life.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			There is life in plants. There is life
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			in animals.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			Plants are living
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			beings, are living organisms.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			They are in dhikr of Allah, Azza Wajal,
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			but plants are not endowed,
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			as we know, from
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			our spiritual legacies.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			They are not endowed with ruha.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			So there is a human life and vegetation
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			life and animal life.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:56
			Ruhe
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			is the means, the source
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			by which the human being
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:02
			became
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:03
			alive
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			and intelligent
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			and cognate and and cognizant.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			The human being without ruha
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			is a dry stick,
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			not a fresh stick.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			The ruha is what characterizes
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			the essential reality
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			of the human being,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			and it is from Allah
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			and by Allah
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			No matter how much we want to learn
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			and we seek to learn
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			about the nature
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			of the ruha,
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:40
			we would simply arrive to the ultimate conclusion
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			that it is as he
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			ruhumin amr rabbi.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			Allah said that the ruh is a matter
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:49
			from the divine
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			He breathed into the human being of
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:58
			his ruha.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			That's where we ought to stop
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			and not go beyond.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:05
			And yet we learn more about ruha as
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			we
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			learn,
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			as we worship, as we practice, as we
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			devote
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			our minds,
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			our hearts,
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:16
			ourselves
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			through obedience
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			of our limbs,
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			when we devote all of that
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			to knowing Allah and seeking Allah,
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			Allah would
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			instill in the hearts of some or of
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			many, would instill
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			more cognition,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			more awareness,
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			more
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			Ma'arifah and more knowledge
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			about
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			the Ruha itself.
