Mustafa Khattab – Knowing Allah 3
AI: Summary ©
The lack of visibility for Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is discussed, as it is impossible to see him. The importance of the creator's impact is emphasized, citing examples such as the rapid evolution of the universe and the "order from nothing" concept. The wonders of the creation of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala include the discovery of the perfect design of a computer and the need for a design to convince the world.

We'll talk about one of the qualities of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
and,
if Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala exists.
Why is it that we cannot see him?
Doesn't make sense. Because if he is there
then we should be able to see Him.
Right? Makes sense.
So,
I'll try to answer inshallah and if we
have any question we can ask at the
end. Because I get this question from a
lot of people your age, my kids, they
ask,
okay, can we see Allah?
And if He exists, can we see Him?
Right?
So,
There are some certain things that exist,
but we can't see them.
Right?
So, say for example,
the the man who manufactured this microphone,
or the cell phone, or the camera, most
likely from China.
The fact that you don't see this person
who manufactured this camera,
you don't know them, you don't see them,
it doesn't mean that this person does not
exist.
They exist,
but you don't know where they are and
you don't know how they look like.
So we are told in the Quran that
will be able to see Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
Right? So we will be able to see
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala on There
are so many other examples like,
wireless Internet. Right?
You see the impact,
you see the result,
but you don't see the wireless Internet itself.
Like, we're sitting here, we have wireless connections
in the Masjid,
so I can connect my laptop from here,
but you cannot see
wireless Internet. But you see the impact, when
you go to Google and search something, you
see the result,
but you don't see wireless Internet.
Same thing for electricity.
You got there right now. The light is
the result of electricity. This is not electricity.
This is light, but electricity itself, you cannot
see it.
You it is there, but we are not
equipped to see it. You cannot see wireless,
Internet, you cannot see electricity.
You are there, you are not equipped to
see them.
So, now
if we have twins,
2 brothers or 2 sisters,
they were born at the same time.
So, they spend their whole lives together. So
you have them there in front of your
eyes
and one of them dies, heart attack, he
or she dies.
So they're next to each other,
they are identical, they look like
similar in every aspect,
what is the difference between
the living twin and the the dead one?
Yes.
Yes. 1 is alive and one is dead.
But what is the difference? Because
technically if we weigh them,
they will weigh the same, they look the
same, same height,
same measurements,
everything is the same. What is the difference
between the living and the dead?
Anyone?
Yes.
The soul exactly, I said one of them
has a soul
the other one doesn't, right?
Have you ever seen someone's
someone's soul?
We haven't.
So the fact that if someone denies the
existence of Allah because they don't see them,
tell them you don't have a Ruach, you're
dead.
Why? Because yes, you have a soul, you
have a Ruach, but we have not seen
it.
So technically you are dead based on what
you said, right? So it doesn't make sense.
And you don't have a mind either because
we don't we didn't see your brain, right?
So anyway,
so the point is
not everything that exists we're able to see
at this point because it exists but we're
not equipped to see it.
But on Yamul Qiyama,
different style of life, different way of life,
the the quality of life is different,
so we would be able to see Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Even Musa Alaihi Salam in
this dunya,
in his human form, in this dunya, Balili
form, he asked to see Allah
on the mountain.
You are not able to see me.
But he was hearing Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
but he couldn't see him. But
do you think Musa Alaihi Salam would be
able to see Allah?
Of course, because he would be equipped. He
would be able to see him.
Many years ago, like a 100 years ago,
if I told you you would be sitting
in Mississauga
and you will be able to watch a
cricket game in Pakistan,
you'll call me nuts, crazy.
It's not possible. It will never happen.
Or you will be able to watch a
soccer game between Barcelona and Real Madrid in
Spain.
Right? Real time. Will never happen. Impossible.
But now it is possible.
Right?
If you if I told you that one
day I will pray, Salatul Fazr in
Istanbul
and pray Salatul
Maghreb in Toronto
a 100 years ago, you would think I
lost my mind.
But now this is the reality. It is
right there, we see it, we know it
hap it is it is possible.
So not everything
is possible yet,
but at some point when the right time
comes, when you are equipped, you are ready,
it will happen.
So
now, another thing that maybe we touch on
some other time,
when people are not able to see Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. For us Muslims,
when you look at the creation of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala you see His impact
and you know that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
exists.
When you see
the
beauty of the creation of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala The sun, the moon, the stars, the
trees, the flowers, the butterflies,
all the beautiful creation of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. You know that something like this has
to have a creator. Some someone must have
created this.
But in atheism, for example, when people think
that all of this came about by
coincidence, by chance, there is no master creator
who was behind everything like this,
it doesn't make any sense because
even in Physics, if they believe in Physics,
you don't get something out of nothing, because
they get everything came out out from nothing.
You don't get something from nothing.
And you don't get order from this order,
because they say everything came together,
and they formed this universe,
and everything here,
and and and this is the
underlying
essence of the theory of evolution, for example,
Darwinism.
There is no God, everything came together,
the fish turned into a chicken by itself.
This is how everything came about.
There is no master designer,
master creator who put everything together. This is
what Darwinism is all about. That things
evolve from other things.
Like, according to that belief, we as human
beings, we evolved from monkeys
and chicken came from fish and so on
and so forth.
This is total nonsense.
Right?
There's nothing wrong with,
development.
Evolution in that sense that we came from
monkeys and so on and so, it doesn't
make any sense. And there's no proof. This
is what they say. There's no proof. But
development
that a human being will develop inside the
mother,
this is acceptable. We're young, we develop into
grown ups, and so on and so forth,
and the baby came from the egg and
the sperm. This is development, and this is
totally acceptable, no problem.
And when you look at the,
the little frogs,
when they're swimming, they look like fish, but
when they grow older, the tail is gone,
the feet are gone, it becomes a frog.
No. The feet are there, but the tail
is gone. Right? It looks more like a
frog,
than a fish. Right? So this is called
development and this is totally accepted. But you
say that a species turned into another species,
this is a totally different thing. So the
point is, there is a Creator.
If you want
to to to realize the Existence
of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala just open your
eyes and look around.
This is what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
says. Allah is asking people in Surat Tur,
were you created by nothing or from nothing,
or is there a creator, or did they
create themselves?
No one ever claimed
to create themselves.
Even Haftafiraoun,
pharaoh,
who said,
I'm your Lord the Most High.
He never claimed to create anything
because he himself was created
and we are actually we're probably the last
edition of the creation of Allah. When we
came to this world, everything was there.
You know, the lizards, the worms, the fish,
the birds, the flies,
the squirrels, everything was there. We came
probably last.
So we are basically
the babies of the universe. So we cannot
claim
to have created everything before we were selves
came here. Right?
So the last point, I know this is
a kind of academic and your heads will
explode, but this will give you a perspective
of what is going on.
The laws of physics
okay, I'm getting technical here. They try to
explain
the marvels of the creation of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala in the universe.
The law of gravity,
relativity, all these different things.
So,
they try to explain the wonders the wonders
of the creation of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
And they say, they all agree
that there is a perfect design in the
world.
So if there's a perfect design
and the scholars, they try hard to explain
this perfect design,
it means
there is a designer.
Right? It's very simple.
You try to explain
the perfect design of a designer. So it
means there is someone who created this. Cannot
say that the sun comes out in the
morning by itself. No one designed this. The
human eye, we mentioned before, that the human
eye which is more sophisticated than any Sony
camera, it's millions of times more sophisticated,
cannot convince me that this came about by
chance?
If I tell you that there was a
tornado in the desert,
and the sand came together
with
some other elements from the Earth and formed
an iPhone 8
by itself. You call me crazy.
But if I told you that this perfect
human eye which is more sophisticated, millions of
times more sophisticated than any Sony camera came
about by chance,
I don't know.
We'll talk tomorrow, Insha Allah.
