Mufti Menk – The POWER Of Your Creator

00:00:00 --> 00:00:02

			When Allah Almighty created us,
		

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07

			he could have created us
		

00:00:07 --> 00:00:10

			in any way He willed and wished, and
		

00:00:10 --> 00:00:11

			that's what He did.
		

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

			He could have chosen another way.
		

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

			And we could have all been created in
		

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

			the same way that Adam was created.
		

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

			For Allah it's just be
		

00:00:26 --> 00:00:27

			and it is.
		

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

			If he wants something, he wants to make
		

00:00:30 --> 00:00:30

			something,
		

00:00:31 --> 00:00:32

			he wants to create something.
		

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

			The Quran mentions in more than one place
		

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

			and I'm going to read one of the
		

00:00:37 --> 00:00:38

			verses perhaps,
		

00:00:39 --> 00:00:41

			from Surat Yaseen so that
		

00:00:42 --> 00:00:43

			many of us might be able to follow.
		

00:00:44 --> 00:00:45

			The last verse
		

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15

			Amazing verse.
		

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

			I'm sure you know what it means, right?
		

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22

			The command of Allah when he wants to
		

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23

			create something
		

00:01:24 --> 00:01:24

			is just
		

00:01:25 --> 00:01:25

			Kun.
		

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

			Kun means
		

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

			be
		

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

			and it is, so glory be to He.
		

00:01:33 --> 00:01:34

			In whose hands lies ownership
		

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

			of everything in existence
		

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40

			and unto Him
		

00:01:41 --> 00:01:42

			shall we return.
		

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

			So he chose to create us in a
		

00:01:46 --> 00:01:49

			way that the first of our species was
		

00:01:49 --> 00:01:49

			made
		

00:01:51 --> 00:01:51

			with
		

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

			sand, dust,
		

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

			soil,
		

00:01:56 --> 00:01:56

			clay,
		

00:01:57 --> 00:01:58

			the different stages
		

00:01:58 --> 00:01:59

			mixed with water,
		

00:02:00 --> 00:02:02

			then a shape given to it.
		

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

			And then he blew a soul
		

00:02:06 --> 00:02:07

			into it.
		

00:02:08 --> 00:02:10

			And lo and behold it was a human
		

00:02:10 --> 00:02:11

			being.
		

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

			And Allah taught Adam,
		

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

			may peace be on him.
		

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20

			The names of everything
		

00:02:26 --> 00:02:28

			Allah says he taught Adam
		

00:02:29 --> 00:02:30

			the names of everything.
		

00:02:33 --> 00:02:36

			So when he came into existence, he already
		

00:02:36 --> 00:02:39

			knew how to speak and he was grown
		

00:02:39 --> 00:02:40

			adult.
		

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45

			But after that, the others who were created,
		

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

			they were created in a different way.
		

00:02:50 --> 00:02:50

			Eve
		

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

			Hawa, may peace be on her.
		

00:02:53 --> 00:02:56

			Was created from a part of Adam,
		

00:02:58 --> 00:02:59

			according to the Quran.
		

00:03:01 --> 00:03:02

			And thereafter
		

00:03:03 --> 00:03:06

			Jesus, may peace be on him, was created
		

00:03:07 --> 00:03:10

			through a female without the involvement of a
		

00:03:10 --> 00:03:10

			male.
		

00:03:12 --> 00:03:14

			So if you look at those 3, Adam
		

00:03:14 --> 00:03:14

			was created
		

00:03:16 --> 00:03:19

			without the involvement of a male, without the
		

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21

			involvement of a female. That's the power of
		

00:03:21 --> 00:03:21

			the creator.
		

00:03:23 --> 00:03:24

			Eve was created
		

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

			without the involvement of a female
		

00:03:28 --> 00:03:29

			through a male.
		

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32

			Jesus, may peace be upon him was created
		

00:03:33 --> 00:03:34

			without the involvement
		

00:03:35 --> 00:03:35

			of a male,
		

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

			but just through a female.
		

00:03:38 --> 00:03:39

			And the rest of us
		

00:03:40 --> 00:03:43

			created through male and female. That's Allah. All
		

00:03:43 --> 00:03:44

			the probabilities and possibilities
		

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

			have been displayed to us. The power of
		

00:03:47 --> 00:03:48

			the Lord, Allah.
