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.
