The brain's body is more sophisticated and the body is more sophisticated, including the ability to heal itself. The brain is more sophisticated and the body is more sophisticated, including the belief of the Oneness and various worship forms.

So today inshallah, we'll continue the discussion about
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
How many gods are there in the world?
1.
Okay. Let me ask again. How many gods
are there in the world?
1. Okay.
Does the Quran talk about other gods?
No.
Do other gods exist?
No.
They do.
There are some other gods that are mentioned
in the They do. There are some other
gods that are mentioned in the Quran. Okay.
What about
What are they? They are not really like
false words. Okay. This is a different story.
They are idols,
objects of worship, and the people worship them,
the people of Makkah.
What about
what Suwaha, Yawwath,
Ya'uq,
Nas, Sura Noor?
They're idols. Right? Gods.
People take him as a God.
So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala talks about
these objects of worship in the Quran. We
shouldn't call them Gods, but we should call
them objects of worship.
The malaika
the malaika
are also
taken as gods or objects of worship in
the Quran.
Okay. So some people in
in Arabia before the time of the prophet
and they used to worship the Malaika,
and so on and so forth.
So the Quran talks about
other
talks about idols and other gods, and this
is why when we say
in the Quran,
the translation
shouldn't be, there are no other gods
because the Quran talks about other gods.
But it should be,
There is no god
worthy of worship except Allah. Because there are
so many objects of worship. Right? Did you
get this one?
Did you get this one?
How does Allah subhanahu wa sallam?
Also, another thing,
if you have access to Google,
just Google the word God,
and see how images, right?
Go to Google image and search the word
God.
You will get
millions of images.
So you'll get human images
as gods,
Aesah, Bua, so on and so forth.
Animal gods, and so on and so forth.
Cow, elephant,
hyena god in ancient Egypt,
cobra god, crocodile,
and all these gods.
You will see the face of the devil.
Some people in the US that worship the
devil
as a god. They were in the tens
of 1,000.
Islam is probably the only religion that does
not put a face on Allah
When you look for the word Allah, and
you look for an image, you will find
the word Allah in calligraphy.
In other faith,
when they portray
Allah, like in the Bible, you will see
an old man, long hair,
flowing ropes, and so on and so forth.
So Islam is the only religion that does
does not have a representation of Allah
but we have the word Allah in calligraphy.
Allah
to prove that His Oneness, that He is
the only one who is able to create,
that He is the only one,
Allah
will give us some
rational and logical arguments.
So he will say for example,
look at the sun, the moon, and the
stars,
look at the human being, look at everything
that I created in the world, this is
what I created to prove that I'm the
one.
And he is asking,
all these objects of worship that you have,
show me
what they created.
This is what I created, I created everything,
now show me what these objects of worship
created.
0, nothing.
Another logical argument,
Allah
will tell us
So, if there were any other gods in
this world,
if there were 2, 3, 5, 10 gods
more or less,
then this whole universe would have been destroyed.
Why? Because one god will create something,
the other one will get jealous or mad,
and he will destroy what the other god
created, and they will keep fighting back and
forth. And this is mentioned in the Quran.
Exactly.
So what about
robots, for example? We create things, right? If
you look there are videos, if you are
in, into robotics and stuff there are videos
on YouTube, they create robots,
and they play soccer,
they move, and they do different things.
So,
if I can get Ziyad as a volunteer,
come here.
And if I can get, this assistant here.
Volunteer.
So,
you are a robot, right? Your hands like
No, no, no, no. Stand up. Not yet.
Put your hands like this. So this is
a robot, This is a human being.
Which one is more sophisticated? This brain or
this memory card?
Memory. The brain
is more sophisticated.
This body is able to heal itself.
If she's chopping
tomatoes at home and she cuts her finger,
you know, the body is able to heal
itself. This one
No.
This one has a kidney
that does 1,000
of chemical operations inside the body to clean
the body of toxins.
This one
No.
This one has a DNA
that if we were to decipher
and we write books,
they say if you are able to decipher
the human DNA
and the human memory,
and you put the box on top of
each other, this will go to the moon
and come back several times.
This one, small memory. Right? And so on
and so forth.
Okay.
So go back. Thank you. So there is
no there's no way to compare the creation
of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to anything
else. Another way that Allah
proves His Oneness,
He would bring and this is mentioned in
the Quran in many places.
He brings on the day of Yom Kiyyama,
everyone is standing there, and Allah
would bring these objects of worship, and He
will ask them
in front of the people who used to
ask them, to worship them. So Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala would bring and
say,
these people here.
So Allah would ask Harissa in front of
billions of people,
did you ever ask the these people right
here to worship you as a God? You
and your mom. He will say, Subhanah, glory
be to you. How
can I, you know, claim something that I'm
not? I never made such claim. I never
heard of this in my life. Right?
And so on and so forth. Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala will bring me Malaika, another object
of worship, and he will say,
When you at work or you did you
ask these people here, the people of the
pagans that are able to worship you?
They say,
and so on and so forth. And they
say it was not proper
for a creation like us, meaning these people,
to take anyone other, than you as a
God.
Even in some places in the Quran, Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala would bring the idols,
the statues,
the rods,
and the wood that were used as objects
of worship, and Allah would ask them, did
you ever ask these people to worship you?
We didn't Allah would bring them back to
life, He would give them life, and they
would talk, and they will say, We had
no clue that these big people were worshiping
us. We never asked any one of them.
So even the objects of worship, in the
Quran, they deny
asking people to worship them. So, this is
the way that Allah establishes
His Oneness, and He is 1.
The last thing I want to say,
that the Prophet SAW and Allah
SAW, they both emphasize the Oneness of Allah
SAW. There are
So it says there is no Aragas, this
is the Ayah in at the end of
Surah Islam. And also
So if you look, what are the types
of
associating others with Allah?
Well, to say that Allah
has a partner, another God. Satan.
Or to take objects of worship,
or to take humans as gods, or to
put different gods together and they say these
3 are 1, like the Trinity 1.
So there are about 4 different forms of
taking other gods besides Allah
If you read
it refutes
all these 4 different types of worshipping someone
besides Allah. If you say
is 1, there is no one like him,
there's no other God like him.
And plus,
very quickly inshallah, I'm gonna get technical for
just a few seconds.
The difference between and
because Allah could have said,
Right? But he said
means that he is 1, but he's not
made of parts.
Father, son, and holy spirit. He's not made
of parts. He's 1 and unique.
Allah will summon.
He does not need anyone and everyone needs
him.
He's not like Risa alaihi salam. He was
not born,
out of someone and he's not the father
or the mother of anyone
and there's no one like him. He's unique.
Allah Whatever
you think of, he's way better than what
you think. So this is how Allah
establishes his oneness in the Quran. So we
ask Allah
to give us the best in this life,
and the best in the life to come,
and ask Allah
to keep us on the salat al misterqim.
We'll see you tomorrow, inshallah, for the questions
and answers. Assalamu alaykum.
