Mustafa Khattab – 10 Allahs Attributes AlHakim I

Alhamdulillah, I missed you.

So I was at Darul Tawhid last night,

I gave a talk there and Imam Ibrahim

came here, Alhamdulillah, he said he enjoyed it.

So I'm very glad that no one died.

Alhamdulillah.

So,

I knew a friend

from Egypt and he was desperate and he

wanted to marry the sister

and his family was totally against it. And

this brother Mashallah was very tall,

His arm is bigger than me. Very tall.

Well, one of the tallest people I've met

in my life.

He proposed several times and they said, no,

you're not meeting our daughter. Beat it. Get

out. Bye bye.

But the guy was insistent. He said I

have to marry the sister, I'm in love

with her. They said no, and actually at

some point he threatened

to jump off of a building and kill

himself.

And when I heard this story I told

him the guy is bluffing because he if

he jumped

the sucker is not gonna die. He's very

tall, like he's not gonna die. Maybe he

says if I jump in the, in the

ocean or something that you jump off the

building, you you are tall you are tall

of him the building itself.

So eventually they got married

and after 5 7 years in the marriage,

he has been pulling his hair off. He

said, why did I marry like biggest mistake

of my life? I know some people who

do,

like a feasibility

study to start a business.

They know for sure they will succeed. They

started the market.

They have the money. They have the expertise

and the business fails.

Big time. We know big companies like back

in the 19 nineties,

Kodak

was all over the place they dominated the

market, you know. You know if, Nokia for

example, they dominated the market. Where are they

now?

Nowhere to be found.

So now inshallah I'm gonna talk about one

of the qualities of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

Al Hakim.

Al Hakim, Wa Allah. This is one of

the most beloved names of Allah Subhanahu Wa

Ta'ala to my heart. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

He knows and He is wise.

Hikma in the Arabic language, if you put

something in the right place. And Allah Subhanahu

Wa Ta'ala always puts things in the right

place, because He knows.

And this is why Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, when

you look at the ending of the surahs

in the Quran,

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala always speaks about his

knowledge and Hikmah.

Sometimes he says in the Rebekah Hakimun Aleem,

and sometimes he says in the Rebekah Hakimun

Aleem. The opposite. Sometimes Alimun Hakim, sometimes Hakimun

Aleem.

And if you look at Surah and Aam,

because sometimes we don't know the Hikma for

what is halal and what is Haram. People

ask okay, why is pork is Haram? Right?

So when Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala speaks about

pork and He speaks about Haram items to

eat, he says in the Baq Hakim Un

Alim. He knows the hikma. So he starts

with Hakim ven Alim.

But in Surah Yusuf,

when you read the story for the first

time and you don't know what is going

on and how things will end up at

the end, we don't

know what what will happen in the future

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says, Inna rabaka alimul

Hakim. It starts with knowledge.

SubhanAllah, even the ending of story of the

ayat in the Quran has a lot of

hikmah.

So the reason why I started with the

story of the guy who wanted to jump

off of a building,

he didn't know the Hikmah. He was desperate

to achieve something he thought it was best

for him and he ended up not being

the best thing for him. Maybe it was

the worst thing for him.

And the story of the brother who started

a business thinking he, you know, he knew

everything in the market and he ended up

being a loser.

Because we don't know everything

and sometimes we lack the Hikmah. Allah Subhanahu

Wa Ta'ala knows everything

and He knows the Hikmah. And this is

why don't question Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. If

something good happens to you, say Alhamdulillah.

If something bad happens, say Alhamdulillah.

Wa Asa antakarahu shayinmuhu khairulakum

wa Asa

Maybe you will hate something

and it turns out to be the best

thing that ever happened to you, and maybe

you love something and it turns out to

be the worst thing that has ever happened

to you, and maybe you love something and

it turns out to be the worst thing

that has ever happened to you, and the

stories are so many. And Allah Subhanahu Wa

Ta'ala says at the end of this ayah

Surah Baqarah Allah knows and you don't know.

So you never question Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

all you do is do your best wait

and see.

I know,

Duaia, big Duaia, MashaAllah, one of the leading

Dua in the West his name is Fadur

Surayman. He used to live in, in the

US for a long time then he moved

to, he's in the UK now.

Marshall is very active in Daul. Many years

ago he was in New York. He was

visiting I think from New Jersey. So he

was in New York,

he was attending a meeting at the United

Nations building in New York.

So

that day,

of September

he woke up in the morning 2 or

3 hours before the meeting he said, well,

I have free time. I'm gonna go to

those tallest buildings in New York, the Twin

Towers,

you know to take a look and take

pictures from the top and see what is

going on. And SubhanAllah,

he said he waited in the street for

more than half an hour

trying to find an a cab,

to take him to the, to take the

Twin Towers. No one stopped for him.

And he was mad, what is this? People

are so disrespectful, they don't want to serve

me, what is going on?

And he said, if I was able to

take the cab, I would be inside the

first tower half an hour before the first

blood plane hit.

He said I would have been dead if

that you know cab stopped for me, if

that taxi stopped for me that day and

that day was September 11, 2001.

He didn't know the Hikna he knew 2

hours later.

Right? So you have to trust the judgment

of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

I know a friend also in Vancouver,

and he said many years ago when he

moved to Vancouver from Egypt, he was desperate

to have children,

and he was making dua day and night,

you Allah I need a son,

you know children, I need children especially a

son, and he got married and Allah Subhanahu

Wa Ta'ala gave him a son. 2 years

later they had a swimming pool in the

back, in the backyard. His son filling that

pool

and his son has been on,

you know, what what do you call those

machines? Life support for about 23 years. And

he said that kid that I was desperate

to have destroyed my life, he got a

divorce, he spent all his money, they traveled

to save his life, and he said I

wish I never had this kid.

Subhaal. You don't know the Hikma.

So if Allah gives you something good,

you have to wait and see the Hikmah.

If something bad happens to you, you have

to wait and see the Hikmah. Now put

yourself in the place of Yusuf alaihis salam.

You get stabbed in the back. I know

the worst thing that can ever happen to

you, if someone that you know, someone that

you love, your own flesh and blood, they

betray you, they stab you in the back.

I understand if a stranger, someone you don't

know, they stab you in the back or

whatever. They don't know me. But your own

flesh and blood, they betray you, they want

to kill you, they throw you in the

well, and they're jealous of you.

So now put yourself in in his place

in the well.

Okay, I'm doomed, my life is over, that's

it.

So

he's picked up and he moves to Egypt,

now he's a slave. I have no potential,

I have no future, I'm just a slave.

I'm doomed, I'm finished.

Then after that he ends up in jail.

I'm doomed, I'm finished. What is going on?

But you see the Hikmah of Allah Subhanahu

Wa Ta'ala throughout the story,

and when you read the first couple of

pages or 3 pages in the story being,

you know,

betrayed by his own brothers, being thrown in

the well,

being sold into slavery, being thrown in jail

unjustly,

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala say this person is doomed,

he has no future, that's it for him,

he is done.

And you move to the end of the

Surah, he became the Aziz of Egypt, the

2nd strongest richest man in Egypt.

So it seems that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

allowed him to be thrown in jail, to

be sold into slavery, to end up in

jail, to become the Aziz of Egypt.

So you always trust Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

Why? Because he has an Alim and he

has Hikma. Hakimun A'lim. We should always say

Alhamdulillah and trust Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. We'll

continue tomorrow Insha'Allah.

So from 2 days ago,

the winner was,

the brother that I forgot his name is

Farooq

Raza. Farooq

Raza. Is he here?

Farooq Raza. Is that you? MashaAllah.

Finally.

So last time we said that in the

Quran Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala describes when Musa

threw down his staff, always he said, turbanumubiin

hayatuntas

a snake. But there's one eye in the

Quran in Surah Nam Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

says, Faramma lu aha tazukan nahajaaal Allah Subhanahu

Wa Ta'ala says, Faramma lu aha tazukan nahajaaal

Allah

says Why does it say Jinn here? So

the word Jain in the Arabic language here

in this particular sense doesn't mean Jinn, it

means a very fast or quick snake.

So in the other Ayat we use the

word snake, but in this one we use

the word viper. A type of snake in

the Arabic language we call it Jan.

So it's a type of snake it's not

Jindi, there's no contradiction here, and the winner

is doctor. Asim Khurjat. Is he here tonight?

Doctor. Asim Yaakov?

Okay, khalas, we'll give it to you inshallah.

Barakatullah So

the question for tonight,

the question for tonight, whenever Allah Subhanahu

speaks about creation,

creating us, he says in one place I

created you from dust, another place I created

you from mud, the third place I created

you from clay, so sad. How do you

explain this? It should be one thing. Why

does Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala give different
