Mufti Menk – Why Am I Here

			Who made me? And why am I here? So let's go back to that.
		

			Someone made you now if he made you, he made you for a purpose, what was the purpose? We will never
have an answer except from Revelation. I can't just see people come in, spend a few years and go
some coming and go in a short span of time, and some live a little bit longer. I can't just see
people come do as they please and leave. I can't just see people come and some of them don't do as
they please. They are disciplined, and then they leave. So all of this Subhanallah if I were to look
at it, there must be a purpose. He who made me couldn't have left me without anything. He has to
have taught me something. Why did he make me so he says
		

			he wanted to create a create a creation or a creature, humankind. A creature that was neither an
angel, nor a devil
		

			Subhan Allah.
		

			I believe they're angels. Okay, angels, Leah asuna, la Hama, amerihome, Wirefly Luna, Mario marone.
They don't disobey the almighty at all. They do whatever they're told. They don't have the capacity
to disobey and they're completely sin free. Those are the angels one hand and the other hand, there
is Satan the devil.
		

			So this devil, he is arrogant. He has denied Allah knowing Allah. He knew Allah. And he, he is
arrogant. That arrogance had has led him to denial. He won't worship Allah and he won't listen. And
that's the devil. Okay? Allah has control over him. But Allah has left it for a purpose. He's left
it for a bit. He has these two on either side. One, actually insults the almighty belittles the
Almighty and has this arrogance. This is why we're always taught to protect ourselves from
arrogance. So he defies the maker in everything. And on the other hand, you have total obedience. So
Allah says in the middle, we made humankind and we want to reward humankind. We, it's Allah, Allah
		

			enjoys this, he wanted it, he loved it, and he loves to see us and all these words are used in the
Quran, you know, that Allah loves and Allah wanted, and Allah did this and so on. And not just in
the Quran, but revelation before the Quran, that was from heaven. Subhana Allah. So, Allah Almighty
says, I created humankind, humankind will come on the earth, and their parents, the parents, you
know, the first human was created from dust and soil, and made and after that Allah created the
reproductive system that worked. And then the rest of us were created through that reproductive
system. Obviously, Eve or Hawa May peace be upon her was created a little bit differently, and Jesus
		

			May peace be upon him was also created a little bit differently. Besides those three, Adam, even
Jesus, the rest of us are created through male and female. So Adam, no male nor female, Eve through
male without the involvement of a female, Jesus through female without the involvement of a male
Subhana Allah, that was the decree of the Almighty the words of the Almighty, the power of the
Almighty Allah, and the rest of us through male and female. So Allah subhanho wa Taala says, you
know, your parents, it's their duty to give you a good name, and to give you a decent upbringing,
they would clothe you initially and they will have to take care of you as part of their test. So
		

			Allah created us here to test us, while another one, we will definitely test all of you. That's what
Allah says. So He created us to test us with what joueur hunger, how fear knocks, minimum, one loss
of wealth, will enforce loss of lives, loss of produce, and Allah says their patients, their
patients keep worshiping me when I give you worship me when I take away from you worship me their
patience, and you'll get back to me very soon, like later today. May Allah grant us a good return to
Him. I mean,
