			Mr manleigh al hamdu Lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah Allah He after Lusaka woman wala Amma
Bard Salam alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh I know it seems like we're doing this every other day.
And that's not intentional, by the way. It's just you know, with new job and some other things is
just keeping me very occupied early in the morning, so I apologize for that. But nevertheless, we
will always do our very best. To keep this as consistent as possible. I have no intentions of
stopping this. I have no intentions of taking a break. soon as we're done this sutra, we're moving
on to the next in sha Allah hoteller. But there might be some breaks and pauses in between. So just
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:44
			bear with me on those things on those moments in sha Allah. We're at verse number 14. Now Allah
subhanho wa Taala is going to put us in our in our place Haleakala in sand, we created human beings,
min Sol Sol in CalHFA, Har, min Sol Sol from clay that is a far, far harder, it's useless clay.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:03:33
			We were actually so we are actually created from useless mud and clay. Let me tell you what Sol Sol
is. If you ever if you can imagine, and you can go on YouTube, or excuse me on Google and you can
type this out. If you look at a barren, abandoned piece of land, and it rains and the mud, you know,
it gets wet. After some time it starts to dry up, but nobody is walking on that piece of land.
Eventually what happens with rain with with mud that's been dried up is that it starts to crack.
Okay, so you see these cracks everywhere. And then you walk on top of those cracks, you hear this
cracking noise. And then if you pick up a piece of that clay, it breaks apart in your hands. And
		
00:03:33 --> 00:04:23
			here's the point, it's impossible to restore it the way that it was. Once it breaks apart. There's
nothing you can do about it. So that kind of clay that's dried up after rainfall. That's called
solid sod. Now maybe some of you where you live in villages that you live, where you live around
places where this happens. Every time it rains, you know exactly what this is all about. You know,
those are pieces of land that plants don't even grow it's completely useless. So what is a Lessing
you the human being I designed and I created you from useless, Clay, useless mud, talk about being
put in our place. And the reason why this is so important to us. Now here's the lesson behind this.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:05:00
			This so far we've talked a lot about gratitude and humility. And yet like this tackle the opposite
of of humility, which is ignorance. So, here's how it works when you have gratitude. Immediately,
Allah blesses you with humility. But when you have dis gratitude, then the only thing that's left
for you to do is to be ignorant. So Allah puts both of these concepts together in this intro in the
introduction of the surah. We've talked about, you know, the three remember those three things
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:46
			stages of the scale, and how the ultimate goal behind that was to teach us to be grateful to be just
to be fair, and to be and have gratitude. And as a result, to be a smart and honest businessman,
also requires humility, you know, you can make an extra buck, you know, you can rip this person off,
you know, you can add an extra zero, but you don't do any of that out of humility to Allah subhanho
wa Taala. And that's one of the beauties of religion. That's what religion does, it keeps us under
control, when our whims and our desires want to kick in, you know, I can do certain things. Just
because I have a desire to do it doesn't mean it's right. And so that takes a lot of humility and
		
00:05:46 --> 00:06:35
			submission. And that's one of the wisdoms behind religion itself. Now, the opposite of that is,
Allah reminds us remember where you came from. Not only did I create you, but I created you from the
most useless mud on this earth. That's where you came from. So when you grow up now, and you develop
what we talked about in soda, TSC In fact, you will see more more being, then all of a sudden you
develop and you grow. And now you have the audacity to argue about my existence, the validity of
religion, the existence of God, you've been created out of useless mud, who do you think you are
like, it really sets our pace and really puts us where we belong? subpanel up. So the result of that
		
00:06:35 --> 00:07:22
			is when you don't have gratitude, and you don't have humility, then in ignorance is born. That's
when it manifests and it becomes a life. Well, hello Carl Jan marijan. Minh, now, now that Allah
spoke about the origin of how he created human beings, the next day, well, here's where jinns came
from, as well. gins now are created from marriage from from the marriage type of fire, what's
marriage, if you ever see when a fire is lit, in the very dead center at the base of the fire, it
looks like it's invisible, it's almost hollow. But if you put something there, it'll immediately
Ignite. Okay, I'm not suggesting Put your finger or anything in there. But the point is, is anything
		
00:07:22 --> 00:08:08
			you put at the very base of that fire, where it looks like it's invisible, you literally can see
right through that hollow section or that invisible part of the fire. That's called meritage. That's
where the gyms were created from how only Allah knows how he how that happened. So the point here
is, Allah subhanho wa Taala reminds human beings where your origin game from now the next area where
genes came from. So what's the point of doing that? The next day febby a la you're a big woman to
Kathy Ben, remember I said to you or a book or a book woman, and here will be cool man is in jewel
form. So it's talking to two audiences. So now we fill in the blank. Now we filled in the blank. So
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:48
			the first is the humans and also to the jinns. You know why Allah constantly fuses us together?
Because some of the scholars said the Tafseer of a yet like this is the despite a low was revealing
the quarter and to humans, there were always genes in the background trying to listen in. And this
is why we found in an entire chapter devoted to to them, and will stem inf o domina. Jin, I'll call
it inner has Porter and I Jabba when they heard the horror end being recited from from the Prophet
alayhi salatu was Salam. They were amazed. They said, I Jabba this thing that we just heard,
		
00:08:49 --> 00:09:31
			but the poor, and we just heard, it's incredible. And you know, what's amazing in that same and
there's a first a of sort of gin, they even called the poor n by its name, the poor, and they knew
what it was. So it meant that they were always listening, and they had always heard and they
understood what the horror n was. So they were always in the background when revelation was
happening. And so this, you hear why we're always coupled together with the jinn world is at the end
of the day. They're deceptive. You know, they're sitting there, they know what the truth is. They
understood what it was. They never submitted to it. Do humans be human beings do that? Of course.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:59
			And that's the lesson here. I created you, and I created the gin. Now the both of you. Now Allah
speaks to the both of us puts us at the same place at the same level. Now the two of you, humans
engine, which one of the favors Are you constantly going to be in denial of? You're both exactly the
same. That's the point of the A, you're both the same. Now if you're going to deny, you know what's
right you know what the truth is?
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:38
			So what separates what is going to distinguish the two of you from one another. So now moving
forward till the end of the sword, I'm going to stop translating febby a little bit at the end
because now you understand what that is. But Rob Boyd machete a pioneer a lot of bold mastery by
him, he is the master of the two east and the two West, there's a lot of commentary on what the to
East and to West is talking about. Some of the early MSA, there's a couple I'll share with you a
number one, Allah is referring to all directions of the earth. So if you're standing, and you're
looking towards the horizon, the two extremes, so the North East, and the south east, the Northwest
		
00:10:38 --> 00:11:26
			and consequently Northwest and the Southwest, so the two extremes of the east and west, Allah is the
rub, and He is the Creator and the authority and the master of all direction. Another
interpretation, all seasons, you know, every six months, when the sun rises, it doesn't rise at the
exact position or the exact station, it shifts to a different direction to some degree. So it
doesn't rise at the exact moment. And you know, farmers know this very well, you know, they'll open
you know their window and look out and then six months to get on they see the sudden it's six months
later, the sun is on a different window. And it's rising from that direction. So all seasons the ROB
		
00:11:26 --> 00:12:12
			will measure your claim for he is the master of both east and both West's meaning the first six
months as well as the last six months of the entire year as the sun rises from all direction he is
the master and don't rob of that. So that's why group it is all seasons. So I hope that's clear.
February a Europe B coma to get the band so now that he's the master of all of these directions of
all season. So the point is, is that a lot gives us a complete picture to appreciate of what his
authority truly is. So for be a euro be command to get the man Mirage el bahara el cap Yang, when
the seas are the rivers are the oceans when they meet together. So when you have saltwater, and you
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:59
			have Sweetwater when they come together baina Huma barossa Hola, yo, Julianne, in between it,
there's a barrier, an invisible barrier bubbles up an invisible barrier that never crossed paths,
you know, you can see pictures of this on on Google, it's not just one particular part of the world,
deep within the oceans, like you can look, scientists have discovered this for ages, that there's
there are these invisible barriers within the ocean itself, that never cross. Now, why is this
important? Why does love bring this to light? Water is perhaps the most powerful entity that we have
on this planet. It's very intimidating, it's very aggressive. And here's the thing about water. Once
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:52
			it starts flowing, you can't stop it. You know, if you have control over it, that's one thing. But
once if, you know, if a canal breaks apart, and you know water and the ocean starts gushing into a
city, there's nothing you can do. Water doesn't care about what's in front of a human beings, life
buildings, powers, you know, large, powerful structures, it doesn't care. It'll wipe out everything
in its path. It's incredibly forceful and powerful entity that we have. And Allah says, if you think
that I don't have control over you, look what I can do with water, I can cause the ocean where it's
sitting in this massive bucket, okay, like the entire ocean is what it is. It's the majority of the
		
00:13:52 --> 00:14:29
			entire planet. Yet within the ocean itself, in this aggressive, you know, situation where water is
crushing a tumbling on each other. I can create barriers that even the ocean submits itself to me,
it won't cross when I order for it not to cross, it won't cross path. So what's the lesson brothers
and sisters? If water is in the obedience of Allah, that can follow certain parameters that Allah
sets for it. What happened to you and I?
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:34
			How come water can do that? Like, it's just water.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:15:00
			Its water. That's it. Get now water becomes a hook but to us now water is giving us a lecture. Now
water is putting us in our place. Allah says, Look, I can do that with this with water. This
aggressive entity in this world that you can't stop when it's coming towards you. It's coming
towards you can't do anything about it. Yet you yourself will still deny my existence.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:17
			You're still questioning me why the ledgers why the login that's when it'll stop. Why won't stop,
like Who do you think you are? That's the lesson this a it's panela talk about a suitor that puts us
in our place is Allah subhanho wa Taala giving it to us straight up.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:16:07
			That'd be alert, you're a big command to get the bang. Behold, you mean whom a loop loop one more
region. Now think about it. Now you can also extract from this water from these oceans, corals and
pearls. Now, once upon a time, people did not believe that pearls would come from Sweetwater they
only thought it would come from saltwater. And now we know that you can go into Sweetwater and find
find pearls. So back in the day when these aids were being revealed, there was a lot of denial.
There was a lot of denial like these as though they're just not accurate. But now we know they are.
And Allah says look, and this aggressive you know, ocean that's, that seems to be out of control and
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:46
			angry. In the depth of this ocean I placed beautiful coral and pearls for you to discover to
appreciate. So it might look intimidating on the outside. But once you get in it's an entire planet
by itself. creatures you've never seen before life you've never thought would exist. And in addition
to the love buried treasures in the ocean, it gets even more beautiful phobia he Ella your ob Kumar
to cassava Willow will Joanne to feel badly kill lol. And also for them
		
00:16:48 --> 00:17:20
			as well. And Joe on ships, massive, you know, massive boats and ships. moonshot, moonshot means that
they were elevated, which also means they're extremely heavy, heavy, those massive ships that have
like little mini airports on them, that have helicopters and airplanes that land on them, these
massive cruise ships that have like entire cities that are built on them. So less says they're in
the ocean filled battery.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:33
			And from a distance, you would think they were a mountain. So you know, when when you're standing at
the edge of you know, on a beach or something and you look out to the ocean, if you look as far as
you can see, you think you're seeing like islands or something.
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:40
			But they actually become ships that are just out there in the middle of the ocean. Now, what's this
all about?
		
00:17:41 --> 00:18:23
			If you've read the story about the Titanic, you know what this, you know what this is all about? All
sailors and captains, once they get out in the middle of the ocean, they say it's in God's hands
now. Because when you're out there, you become subject, you're literally at Mercy to the ocean,
there's nothing you can do if something goes wrong. There's just nothing you're stranded there. And
we see this till this day, when cruise ships get caught up in the weather. You know, they do their
best to predict it. But at some point, there's only so much you can predict all of a sudden, a crash
storm hits and hurricane hits 1000s of people literally stranded on in the middle of the ocean.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:31
			Done, there's nothing you can do. You literally have to wait days, you sometimes have to wait weeks
for help to arrive.
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:40
			And so Allah says, all of this, and you know what's beautiful, we just talked about pearls in the
ocean, you know,
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:48
			you have this massive structure that's floating at the top of this delicate surface water.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:19:37
			But if you were to get a pearl from the bottom of the ocean, and you stood on top of the ship, and
you drop the pearl into the ocean, what would happen to the poor? It'll sink to the bottom again,
wouldn't it? Yet you're standing on top of this ship on top of this boat and it's not going
anywhere. Like what more of a clear and explicit indication of Allah's existence Do you want, then
the fact that you're standing on this massive moonshot at this massive structure, and it's not just
dropping to the bottom of the ocean by laws will but you took this tiny pearl and you drop and it
just sinks to the bottom Subhana Allah
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:52
			that those are the lessons in sort of ohana. That's what Allah wants us to look at and concentrate
febi ie Allah, your ob Kumar to catch the bed. So when we look at all of these a
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:59
			the lesson here today is just how profound the signs and the you know the
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:49
			The tovala how much of it surrounds us? And it's not just something for us to think about and
reflect on and be like, oh, wow, look at the aid of Allah and just walk away. These a, it helps
stimulate thought provoking ideas and reflection about who our Creator is that there has to be a
creator out there. And it helps us to understand and it helps us to connect with the whole idea
that, yeah, there is a God, I do have a religion, there is one entity worthy of worship out there.
And I need to recognize that because no matter how much you apply physics, and science, design, and
structure, to building these massive, massive structures, these ships and boats, at the end of the
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:59
			day, everything has to work. It has to work. So the design has to keep this ship this entire vessel
afloat.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:18
			And what we're saying is, that only works by the will of Allah subhanho wa Taala. You know, I've
told you the story before years ago, I asked the pilot who was a pilot for Saudi airlines, I asked
him, How does a plane come off the ground?
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:53
			And he gave me He's like, he looked at me and he's like, do you want the truth? Or do you want like
a technical answer? I said, both, you know, so he started explaining to me about wingspan and the
design and airlift and all of these things. And then I'm like, Okay, so what's the truth, and he
just looked at me and he says, a level airlift. Says only Allah knows. Only Allah knows how it
works. At the end of the day, as we gain speed on the runway, somehow, a lot causes this massive
structure, the size of like people's homes, the size of buildings,
		
00:21:55 --> 00:22:37
			to just float, and now be suspended in this delicate invisible air that we breathe and we live with.
Now these massive buildings are literally flying in the air. Only online knows. And the opposite of
that is only Allah knows how it floats on water. But the pearl that one of the tiniest things you
can discover in the ocean, as soon as you drop it in water, it goes right dead to the bottom. It's
incredible. So we're gonna pause there and shout Allahu Allah. May Allah subhana wa Taala continue
to teach us this beautiful sutra and all the wisdom and knowledge in it allow me to give us the
strength, the ability and wisdom to continue to apply to beautiful teachings in our hearts and in
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:45
			our lives and love them that have been, which is that Molo, heighten and in sha Allah. I'll see you
guys tomorrow was Santa Marta como la. He will bark at
