The transcript describes the concept of distance as meters or kilometers and how it is used to describe the speed of light. It is noted that scientists use time to describe distance, but the use of time is not a fundamental science. The use of time is used to measure distance and is used as a metric for the length of time people will be waiting for.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			And then he he is directed further towards
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			his own Jannah. Jannah means a garden. You
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			have a garden as we said, minimum
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:10
			garden is not mentioned by is not,
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			measured by meters or kilometers.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			You see when the Hadith speaks of
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			mention of distance
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			by travel.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			Distance.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			Listen to this very carefully, some very very
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			important point.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			The distance,
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			we know it as meters and kilometers.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			The Prophet
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			1400 years ago,
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			he used
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			a different measurement to describe distance. What was
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:42
			that?
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			Time.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			He used time to describe
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			distance.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			If I were to ask you who is
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			the first person to use time to describe
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			distance, you have to say Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:53
			wa sallam.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			Today, scientists use time to describe distance.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			What is a light year?
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			So they say, it's 15 light years away,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			4 light years away. SubhanAllah.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			The distance,
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			the speed of light
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			for 4 whole years, that is called 4
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			light years.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			Who started that? Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			Where did he get it from? Why?
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:17
			Revelation.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			So don't think these people are a big
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			deal. They came up with something that was
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			already there. But people said, how is this
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			described as 2000 years of distance?
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			It says, 2000 years. Didn't I say moments
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			ago? A traveler would travel 2000 years. That's
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			the distance of the smallest garden.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			Today, they actually tell you, yes, years can
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			the term year can actually
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			you be used to measure distance. Allahu Akbar.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			A few years ago it would be foolish.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			If I told you for example,
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			you know, how high is that? And you
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			say 3 seconds.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			Allahu will ask.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			You'd be foolish. People would say, what are
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			you talking about? Badwallahi,
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			we need to know this.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			It is Islam that came up with the
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:04
			use
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:09
			of time to measure distance, Allahu Akbar, subhanAllah.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			And this is for paradise more than anything
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			else. And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala speaks of
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			this. So this man, when he gets to
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			his own garden,
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			he sees the pathway leading to it full
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			of pebbles of gold and silver
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25
			and different types of pearls and and rubies
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			and so on and he the door is
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			open automatically
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			and he sees even a bigger light and
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			that happens to be the gatekeeper of his
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			own garden.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			And as he enters,
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			he has a peep at what's going on,
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			1 foot in, 1 foot out and he
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			is waiting And he's looking, and he's seeing.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:48
			500 years passed and he's still watching. Wallahu
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:48
			Akbar.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			Wow. This is mine. Like we said, you
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			neither hungry nor you fool, but he's just
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			watching.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			Because if it was us, you know, lunchtime
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			we had to go.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			If it was the dunya.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			So he's looking until he is told, are
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			you not going to come in? And who's
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			telling him that? The who?
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			You're not going to come in? SubhanAllah. We
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to grant us
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			this Jannah. Allah will be working towards it.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			And we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			bless us in every single way.
