00:01:57
We have a tall order before us today a few that I'd like to try and cover I don't want to rush
through any of them. So inshallah, my intention is hopefully we can finish them today. If not,
inshallah we tried to wrap them up by tomorrow. Allah azza wa jal continues the subject after the
description of Jenna yesterday, back to the Quran, the ayah before was actually about the Quran.
Also, an Eliza wouldn't have given the challenge in content to a baby manager. Now Allah Adina had
to be similar to me, Miss Lee, if you're in any doubt about what we've sent down on our slave, then
produce anything of its like anywhere near remotely of its like, its likeness, with the urrutia
00:01:57 -->
00:02:32
document lunella. Now on the one hand, the challenge was you can't produce anything like the Quran.
But just because they couldn't produce anything like it and they couldn't come up with an
alternative doesn't mean that they're going to stop attacking the religion. So if you can't, if you
can't provide an alternative, the only thing left for you to do is now attack what they have
criticized what they have. Yeah, fine, I won't meet the challenge. But come on, it's got so many
problems. So actually, you'll find this second tier still existing today. And what's that second
tier? Well, we can produce something like the Koran. So let's just keep on criticizing it, finding
00:02:32 -->
00:03:08
things in it, that we can poke fun at? Or say, what is how does this make any sense? How does that
make any sense that that mentality still exists to this day? One more thing to say, actually, you
know, in recent times, actually, this is how this happened. In my experience, this happened when I
was a college student. And I was just learning just starting to learn some Arabic. And I remember
this is so old, this is when the internet was new. So this is like back when geo cities pages were
popular for some of you who remember, right? And then somebody put some, some university students at
Georgetown University, put up a webpage that said, you know, because this Georgetown has an Arabic
00:03:08 -->
00:03:42
program, bachelor's degree in Arabic, a master's in a PhD in Arabic, these were masters level
students of the Arabic language. And they said we've as our as our class project, we produced a
pseudo like the Quran. And they put it up on geo cities, it was an earth manuscript, everything
arrived, it looked like the most have and it read, like almost half of it, you know, and they said,
Look, we produce the solar like the Quran, and you know, then there have been other attempts, people
have done this and said, Okay, look, you know, I cannot issue the challenge. And here it is my
response to the challenge. Here's a solo. And then they have several people come along other
00:03:42 -->
00:04:19
professors, other other colleagues, other students who are their Shahada mendola who say, yeah, it
is like the Quran. So Allah said, produce something like the Koran and call your witnesses. So they
said, Okay, here's something like the Quran, and we've got our witnesses, so then do you know so
that's, that's their idea. Now, the problem is, the Quran did not reduce the challenge to one thing,
produce something in Arabic produce something that matches its style, produce something that
uniquely matches it in context. The Quran is unmatchable, from so many different angles, all at the
same time, that it actually becomes impossible for humanity to replace. I'll give you just one or
00:04:19 -->
00:04:59
two examples of that, before we come come back to this idea of criticism. Why is it that they had to
resort to criticism, you see, you have to take the time to study something, and then find something
that you can criticize and exhaust your energy actually studying the Quran, so you can come up with
criticisms. It's so much easier to just make something better. Right? So why go to this route,
you'll only go to this because you can't come up with an alternative. So I'll just give you some
points of view that are not commonly discussed. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam declared that
he is a messenger. The revelation came to him at the age of 140. And he delivered this mission for
00:04:59 -->
00:05:00
how long? How many
00:05:00 -->
00:05:41
Yours 23 years Okay, so this is a 20 that the Quran is sent down over the course of 23 years in a no
name Peninsula in the world where there is no civilization. There's no infrastructure to speak of no
Empire no not these are these are like Bedouins that travel in tents and mud homes, and they don't
have much going on. And this is where the Koran came, which means if it came here, it shouldn't have
had the kind of global impact that it had. Entire continents should not have shifted, because of
these words that were uttered by a man without a microphone. You know, sometimes I wonder, like when
who last year, Shannon was sitting there with the Sahaba and maca. And he's talking to them about
00:05:41 -->
00:06:18
the promises Allah has made, like the Roman Empire and the Persian Empire shall fall. Right? And the
deen of Islam will spread everywhere. And these are young 1819 year old Sahaba sitting there who get
beat up if they pray at the Kaaba. So they're sitting on a bunch of rocks in the sun burning. And
also Salah was telling them, you know, right now you've been made homeless, you get beat up wherever
they see you. And by the way, we're going to be taking over what the Roman Empire the Persian
Empire, and these like 18 year olds are sitting there. Yes, of course. What would you think of those
kids? Like, these guys are so crazy? What are they talking about? What are they talking, nobody
00:06:18 -->
00:06:56
would believe this right? Now, what I want you to I want you to appreciate not from an academic
point of view, or rather, not from a spiritual point of view, but purely from a historical, non
judgmental point of view. You look at these 23 years, and you have a people that have a tradition
that's been going on for 1000s of years, a religious tradition, a moral tradition. And by the way,
cultures, they don't change overnight. If a culture has a certain treatment towards women, for
hundreds and hundreds of years, it's going to take a long time before that changes. And you have to
usually know when that changes, it changes when there's a lot of foreign influence. So for example,
00:06:56 -->
00:07:32
now the world is modernizing a lot of our grandparents had certain standards, we don't have those
standards, the way men and women interacted with each other in Pakistan, or India, or Bangladesh, or
Sudan, or Jordan or Egypt, the way men and women talk to each other 80 years ago is not the way they
deal with each other today. The world has changed. But you know why that's changed a lot a big
factor in that changes how much the outside world is able to influence these isolated places, but
also loss isolation is bringing about a change in the society. Is there any outside influence? Or
the foreign invasions and new culture coming in and invading? No, it's just this man with an
00:07:32 -->
00:08:13
invisible delivery of the Quran right? Now what happens in these 23 years, there are people that
change not just the way they eat, but also the way they sleep, but also the way they wake up, but
also the way they clean themselves, but also the way they get married, but also also the way they
get divorced, the way they love the way they hate the way they raise their eyes, the way they lower
their eyes, the way they lower their voices, the ways they raise their voices. The who their friends
are who their enemies, everything changed in 23 years, culturally, socially, spiritually,
economically, politically, there is not one facet of human life. For these people who believed in
00:08:13 -->
00:08:42
the prophets, I send them that it didn't change. And in 23 years, this society changes in every
imaginable way. These are these people are nothing like they used to be the only thing left of the
old times is their language and the pride of their language for centuries upon centuries upon
centuries, what was the pride of the Arabs, their poetry, that was their pride. And now, for the
next almost century, nobody's recording poetry.
00:08:43 -->
00:09:19
Because the only thing being passed down is what the Quran and the Sunnah of the prophet SAW Islam
until actually later in the Sahaba generation, people are realizing we're gonna lose Arabic, because
nobody cares about poetry anymore. Everybody's into Quran and Sunnah. But poetry has historical
value, it gives us insight into the classical language, and Islam was spreading, there were non
Arabs coming into Islam. And when foreigners come into your, your territory, region, your language
gets weaker. Right? So Arabic was not as pure as it used to be even within one generation, because
so many people were coming into Assam. So an extra effort had to be made that scholars and that are
00:09:19 -->
00:09:30
beyond the Tibet, I mean, they would have to go and leave and go into the Arab villages where it's
still there's no outside influence, and learn the ancient usage and old poetry of that time so they
could document it.
00:09:31 -->
00:09:58
I mean, are scholars when you learn that they went into the desert and spent 20 years there? Why did
they go there? Because the uncontaminated language was still there. This same language that used to
be the pride of the Arabs is now nobody cares. You have to go to the most remote areas to find it.
Now. This was the very center of their identity. This is what made them Arabs. Now, compare this to
any other. I don't like the word revolution, but in a sense, compare this to any revolution over the
course of 23 years.
00:09:59 -->
00:10:00
There's a
00:10:00 -->
00:10:35
technological revolution. Sure. There's a feminist revolution. Sure it can be a nation can have a
political revolution. The Russians had a revolution in the last century, right? There have been the
French Revolution a couple of centuries ago, there's been an American Revolution a few centuries
ago, there are revolutions in history. But when the revolution is done, first of all, how much blood
is spilled, number one, number two, after the blood is spilled, do people still eat the same food
and love the same things and hate it roughly pretty much the I mean, the economic system maybe
changes, or the political system maybe changes. But overall, by and large, mostly, the religious
00:10:35 -->
00:11:16
views stay the same. The political views may have changed, but the cultural, the cultural still
stays the same. You know, the French diet is the same French diet before and after the revolution.
There's not much difference, you know, the American psyche is the American psyche, everything else
about them is the same, you know, but when Islam comes, you don't ask what changed, you actually
have to ask, what didn't change, what didn't change, produce anything, even close to a document
words, that can bring about the kind of change in a society that the Quran brought in a matter of 23
years, when people even cite some of the greatest revolutions in history. And of course, for the
00:11:16 -->
00:11:54
modern West, the French Revolution is pivotal, because it's a shift from a religious, religiously
controlled society to a secular society, right. And that's the that's the era in which we still live
today, a celebration of that original French or European revolution, that Renaissance. Now, that
revolution, also, it came at the hands of certain authors, right? Certain philosophical writers who
couldn't come out and write openly, they had to write embedded in novel and story and you know, in
other philosophical, more abstract literature, and most of these people were literary and
philosophers, right. These were not activists, these were not the eyes of their cause. They weren't
00:11:54 -->
00:12:15
ready to die for what they believed. They just wrote, novels, books, and the vast majority of them
were long gone and dead before somebody picked up their ideas. And we're ready to create entire
movements in their name, you understand? Like Marxists did not see Marx. You see what I'm saying.
And also last Iceland receives revelation at the age of 40.
00:12:16 -->
00:12:18
And he calls for a change in society.
00:12:19 -->
00:12:56
And who's on the frontlines fighting for that change in society, he himself never has been the
intellectual who produces the ideas of change. If you want to call him a philosopher, we don't call
him a prophet. He's given these ideas, he doesn't have these ideas of his own. He's given these
ideas. But regardless, anyone carrying the ideas, these intellectuals were always were in the back
somewhere, somewhere in the background, and young people were in the front. And here he is on
himself leading the charge. He's the intellectual head of this movement. He's a political, social,
cultural, spiritual, in every sense, the head of this movement of Assam in these 23 years, that has
00:12:56 -->
00:13:32
never happened before in human history. Show me another another time, I actually asked my history
professor, that's my history professor was a pretty cool guy, Italian fellow, I still remember him.
And he was political political scientist. And I use a nerdy dude. Like he, like, I only like going
to his class because I just like, watching him behave. You know, he just acted weird. In his big
thick glasses, he hunched over, he'd walk in first day of class, you know why they call it the
executive branch? You know, like, what kind of question because the President can execute people.
00:13:33 -->
00:13:39
This is gonna be an awesome class. I am not dropping out of this calculus goodbye.
00:13:41 -->
00:13:43
I'm taking two semesters in a row, you know.
00:13:44 -->
00:14:30
But, you know, if I asked him, I asked my brother, like, can you? Can you document any, you know,
any time in history where over the course of less than three decades, actually short of 25 years,
that a change of a magnitude across all human spheres, personal and public, you know, revolution,
sometimes their, their, their public, and sometimes their personal like, mobile, the mobile devices
changed personal interaction of human beings. It's a personal revolution, right? But a change in
economic policy could be a public thing. The Quran and this religion changed people dramatically how
publicly and privately, like in their most private of lives, and the way a person even goes to
00:14:30 -->
00:14:34
relieve themselves, which foot should they put into the bathroom? First?
00:14:36 -->
00:15:00
Just think about it, which hands should you eat with first? What should you say? What should you
say? When you're getting married? What do you do when you get on a ride? What prayers do you make
like there's not a an aspect of human activity that wasn't touched by Islam and revolutionized by
Islam really, completely turned around. So in that sense, when local answers produces so you can
make a living
00:15:00 -->
00:15:16
Georgetown University congratulations to you. You can make the challenge to the Quran and put it on
amazon.com that's fine. But what impact has it had on humanity? What footprint has it left behind?
The Quran is one document. It's not even a big document. It's not even a fifth of the Bible size.
00:15:17 -->
00:16:02
And the amount of books that the Quran gave birth to in the world. I shouldn't even say books, the
amount of libraries, the Quran gave birth to entire volumes of literature on law, philosophy,
theology, history, that are filling shelves around the world are all in the end, the byproduct of
one document or Quran Subhana Allah. Show me another document please. As time went on, somebody came
along and said, Well, if because you know the argument made by some scholars was this challenge was
issued to the Arabs of the time they were not able to meet this challenge. The battle is over. Some
came along and said no, why do you say the battle is over? The challenge should still stand we
00:16:02 -->
00:16:45
should still be able to challenge the Koran. You guys say it's a living book. So it should be a
living challenge. And I say fine, if you want it to be a living challenge, then meet meet its living
standards. The Quran today I even I was talking to somebody you know a while ago about this
challenge, and told them look, I mean, let's not talk about anything else. Let's just talk about
ulis, Texas. No town known. Even got all of you let's let's keep in South ulus. Okay, just this
part, little little corner. And let's say electricity is gone. Let's say internet is gone. Let's say
mobile devices, telephone communication, all communication is gone. And all printed books disappear
00:16:45 -->
00:17:01
from us. From this town in the middle of Texas, North Texas. All printed books disappear. There is
no Bible there is no United States Constitution. There is no Terran county bylaws nothing. All of
its gone. Which document is recovered overnight.
00:17:03 -->
00:17:04
No problem.
00:17:05 -->
00:17:06
No problem
00:17:07 -->
00:17:08
in this town.
00:17:09 -->
00:17:16
How long before the Bible's recovered in ulis? Texas? How long before the Old Testament or the New
Testament or the Psalms of David or
00:17:17 -->
00:17:31
how long before Plato's Republic has recovered? How long? Think about how long for the United States
Constitution has recovered 1000s of years ago, a few 100? How about this Texas, the Texas
constitution? How about that?
00:17:33 -->
00:17:36
So hon Allah and let's do this experiment in Plano.
00:17:37 -->
00:17:38
Let's do it in Irving.
00:17:39 -->
00:17:41
Let's do this experiment in Cincinnati, Ohio.
00:17:43 -->
00:17:48
Let's do this in like, you know, Nassau County, Long Island, not even the entire Long Island.
00:17:49 -->
00:18:07
Over and over again around the world. The Quran lives in the hearts of people. But who is on the
unit on fistula Dena please show me another document. Please show me another document that lives in
the heart of that many human beings in such a living way that it can be recovered overnight.
00:18:08 -->
00:18:09
Please show
00:18:10 -->
00:18:42
me so let me bring something even close to this. I mean from a literary point of view, linguistics
point of view, historical point of view, an impact point of view, a memorization point of view.
Their points of view are too many. There are too many doctor fathers, Allah has Samurai said it's so
beautifully in his book, but tabula Karani. He said when he talked about the language of the Quran
and how miraculous it is. He said, It is not the miracle of the Quran. Let me get he given analogy
and I want to share that analogy with you. A diver goes into the ocean, reaches the bottom finds a
pearl
00:18:43 -->
00:18:50
comes back out, holds the pearl and says this is beautiful. This is what makes the ocean amazing.
00:18:52 -->
00:19:33
Another guy dives in comes out with three more pearls and they're all bigger. And he says no, no,
no, excuse me. This is what makes the ocean amazing. They're both wrong. What makes the ocean
amazing is far more than what you can discover, isn't it? there's far more endless treasure and far
more endless discovery inside of the ocean. Then what is possible for even all of humanity to find
out. It's too deep and too much to discover you understand? Allah azza wa jal says about just a
words of a light comparison to the ocean. holo candle back Ramadan, luckily, Mati Robbie lenor,
fiddleback rucola and 10 fatica li moto Obi Wan Kenobi, Miss Li Ma, that if the oceans were turned
00:19:33 -->
00:19:59
into ink to appreciate for the purpose of the words of my master, if you were to just try to
appreciate the words of Allah with ink, that was the worth of oceans, you wouldn't be able to find
enough ink and the words of Allah would still remain unappreciated. You wouldn't be able to
encompass it. That's the challenge of Quran so it wasn't met and it will not be met that is our
human. On the other hand, criticism against the Quran will always be there.
00:20:00 -->
00:20:05
Challenge is one thing it's impossible to meet. Well, if that's impossible, well at least now you're
upset.
00:20:06 -->
00:20:48
So when you're upset Of course, you're gonna find something to complain about. Something to pick up.
Oh, there are so many contradictions in the Quran doesn't even make sense. This is this and it says
that and there's gonna be all this kind of talk, right? And a lot of which will preempt it in the
solar. He says in the law hola esta he no doubt about it. It is in fact a lot. He is not ashamed.
And the Obama salon Ma. To give an example Arabic students know that the word muscle is Nikita
masala. When you add Ma, it actually makes it even more this is my lip Haumea. This is actually
making it even more ambiguous, any kind of example whatsoever. whatsoever in Arabic expression back
00:20:48 -->
00:20:52
in the day, and even today, if somebody says, Man, I'm hungry, give me some food.
00:20:53 -->
00:20:55
What do you want to eat? And ma?
00:20:56 -->
00:21:39
Do you mean something, man, anything, I don't care. It's all doesn't matter just to eat. This is
law. In other words, Allah says Allah has no embarrassment, he has no hesitation in dropping
whatever example in striking an example of any kind whatsoever. This is actually an educational
principle in the book of Allah. And from it, we learn educational philosophy. In order to get the
point across, you have to go out and get out of your comfort zone and you can't be formal. You when
you think about the benefit of the student, you have to talk to the student at a level that the
student will understand. You shouldn't just talk in high language with big words and, you know, to
00:21:39 -->
00:21:54
make to impress somebody of how much you know, and how much exhaustive vocabulary you have, and how
many books you can quote, that's not teaching. You're just trying to impress someone with how much
you know. Teaching is when you talk to people in a way they can actually learn.
00:21:56 -->
00:22:18
Allah azza wa jal let me guarantee you has better vocabulary than all of us. He has a more
sophisticated knowledge of science than any scientist, you have more he has more sophisticated,
deeper understanding of the nuances of the unseen and the scene and Yvonne than any of us. But a lot
chooses subhana wa Taala to talk in language when aka Yes, certain and Koran.
00:22:19 -->
00:23:00
He made the Quran easy. You know, sometimes you read a book on Al Qaeda, or you get into for
example, you know, the author coming later, for several hundreds of SMR semester ended up so much
less divided as you studied the feel of desire. You read the, you know, the martinis and the
majorities, and you remember Ozzy and you Romani, Lucy, and you're reading pages and pages and pages
of what does it mean? And it's so abstract, you want to pull your hair out and allow when he speaks?
He's so straightforward, simple, no complications, study, a study of philosophy, text, scholars,
students have taken philosophy classes before how much fun is it to read a philosophy essay?
00:23:02 -->
00:23:42
you bang your head on and have What is he saying? You know, going around in abstract circles, but
Koran, Allah azza wa jal could have made it you know, because you know, what, what they do, by the
way, PhD papers, academic scholars, they actually purposely make their papers more difficult,
because that's their way of showing off how academic they are, how sophisticated they are, you know,
using big vocabulary, even when they don't need to, you know, and this, this notion is actually
something shattered in the Quran, Allah is not ashamed to give an example. He doesn't shy away from
dropping any example. And I actually internalize that lesson, a long time ago. Like when you're
00:23:42 -->
00:24:10
teaching, think about what example to give, that will help the person understand that's the only
thing in front of you as a teacher, what will help the student understand, one of my, one of my, my
favorite mentors, in my career as a teacher, was actually a non Muslim woman. When I was I was
taking I used to be a chaplain at the university and the perks were, you can take any class you want
for free. So you can walk in and out of any class for free. So I took a master's degree course in
preschool education.
00:24:11 -->
00:24:27
So cool. This lady was a PhD in early childhood education. All the people in the class are preschool
teachers certified. I'm the only one without a preschool teacher. First day in class, she walks in,
she walked in with a book, a book about a lion and a mouse
00:24:28 -->
00:24:42
with like, font size 36 she was in a master's degree class at a $25,000 a year university. She walks
in with this book, she opens it, and she goes old woman to like 55 years old. Once upon a time there
was a lion.
00:24:44 -->
00:24:45
And we're all like,
00:24:47 -->
00:24:48
Where is he?
00:24:51 -->
00:24:54
She was teaching us that when you're when you're teaching. You can't be shy.
00:24:56 -->
00:24:59
You have to animate yourself. You have to express yourself. You have to
00:25:00 -->
00:25:12
Do whatever it takes to teach, to get to make students lose the world they were in and take them
into a different world. And I just sat there going, Wow, that was a lie. You know.
00:25:14 -->
00:25:38
That's actually something that's so novela, Leia, Stacie and Yaga Baba Fallon Ma, any example at all
He will give, he's not trying to do so whatever will benefit you. But Baraka is translated as
mosquito that's actually a common mistake. But his mosquito berupa comes from the Arabic word bag.
But I've been some Baraka is actually some small fraction of a mosquito.
00:25:40 -->
00:25:56
And it's also called a baby mosquito, like a little bit of a mosquito, it's a really little tiny,
tiny, little, barely visible thing. This was the smallest insect visible to the Arab, I was called
about robot, the smallest kind of creature visible to the eye, that was called donalda. If Allah
wants he can give an example of Baroda,
00:25:58 -->
00:26:10
we will get you get the point across, that's what he'll do. From our folk Aha, this is a little bit
of a tough language that if you don't appreciate the nuance in it, it literally says and whatever
may be above it,
00:26:11 -->
00:26:47
the tiniest of insects, the beloved insect, or whatever is above it, meaning it has two meanings,
one whatever is even bigger than it in size. So what does the Quran do? It uses the BB in yellow
Komodo babouche A and it uses the fly the fly is bigger than the barbed wire, then it uses in the
elevator and caboodle uses the spider and then it goes bigger and bigger and bigger. So your your
birds are mentioned. But then FOCA in a qualitative sense actually means Allah is not ashamed to
give the example of the smallest possible thing you can see and something even more far fetched.
00:26:48 -->
00:27:25
Meaning physically bigger, or actually even more unimaginable. How could you possibly use that as an
example. And by using barooga, by the way, which is commonly known in Arabic literature, it's the
smallest thing visible to the Arab by that moves is Baroda, Allah azza wa jal is saying that when
you do give an example, then you should give an example that at least people can visualize by saying
so the principle that's coming from here is when examples are given, a picture should be drawn
Actually, we already saw this when Allah xojo gave the example that he'd pay paint a picture. So the
more visual your example can be, the more actively you can engage the the imagination of your
00:27:25 -->
00:28:03
audience, the closer you are to the Sunnah of a line teaching. So muscle another over 10 from
Africa. But when you give any kind of example for a Mullah Xena Amano for Allah Muna Hakuna bien as
for those who believed and who are looking to believe Amina, the pharaoh can also be come sometimes
in tolerable fearing, meaning those who believed and those who are looking to believe people who
come to the Quran looking for truth, those kinds of people what will be their response for Allah
Muna, unknown Hakuna Ravi, then they know for sure themselves, that it is in fact truth from their
master. Now truth is a limited translation of Huck. And in this ayah you have to appreciate the full
00:28:03 -->
00:28:44
scope of the meaning of truth. So we'll understand it in a little more nuanced way. The first
meaning of Huck is in fact, truth. And Huck also means purpose. Purpose Chanukah, sumati will Alba
will help he created the skies in the earth with purpose. This is mean with truth, it means
purposefully, there's a reason for which it was created. Now, Huck also means rightful somebody
right is also there, Huck. And now Hakuna beam actually means Allah has the right to give this
example and it's worthy of giving also means worthiness. This is the right example to give at this
time. This example has real purpose. It's not without purpose. This example isn't fact that, you
00:28:44 -->
00:29:21
know, true is actually the least of the meanings here. It's purposefulness, and rightfulness. And
appropriateness. That's actually what's implied here. Believers know it's got to have a reason. In
other words, the believer will never study any part of the Quran, the part they understand and the
part they don't understand. They will always have the same attitude. There is a reason for which
Allah said this. I don't, I don't know this yet. Allah hasn't opened the doors of wisdom yet for me.
I don't get it yet. Maybe I will. But I know it has a purpose. Nothing Allah ever says is what our
purpose. This is the attitude and our reading of the Quran. When you read any other book, you might
00:29:21 -->
00:29:34
skip a passage you don't get and want to think about this, you just move on. Oh, this is repeating I
already got this, you move on. You skip. When somebody sends you a long email, you scroll to the
bottom. And this is like a little head and sub article.
00:29:36 -->
00:29:59
You know, when you study Quran, you stop and everything, things you understand and things you don't
understand. And you leave questions there. your loved one, they opened open the doors of wisdom,
open my heart to you. So I see what you're saying here. So I can truly appreciate what you're
saying. This is the attitude of a believer, not by him or by the way from their master. In other
words, they remain humble in the reading of the book. You know, when you're reading a book or you're
listening
00:30:00 -->
00:30:13
You could have saved me more Alimi him from the teacher. mean Allah from Allah called me robbing him
from their master. In other words, our study of the Quran must be a study of a slave not a student.
00:30:14 -->
00:30:51
How does a slave learn instructions and how does a student learn instructions? A slave learns
because he's only learning to make the master happy. A slave learns with humility, a slave comes to
the book without pride. A student can come with an attitude, ah, you know, I can just drop this
class, take another class. I don't have to get everything I guess if I get bare minimum I'll pass on
okay. What a slave is concerned, humbled before Allah. And that attitude is it needs to permeate in
the, you know, in the study of the Quran? Well, I'm a Latina, cafaro. And as for those who have
disbelieved, and I believe in the context, the dominant meaning here of cafaro has actually been
00:30:51 -->
00:31:00
confronted Namah the people who are ungrateful, those who have been ungrateful. In other words, they
don't appreciate the fact that Allah went out of his way to give an example.
00:31:02 -->
00:31:20
You know, I was studying this and I was just dumbfound one of the most beautiful examples in the
Quran is for to know. Allahu Newsome, Allah to Allah for the most beautiful examples in the Quran.
And at the end of all that, that entire picture, Allah says, well, drivel, Allahu Allah and in us.
00:31:21 -->
00:31:24
Allah gives examples for the benefit of people.
00:31:25 -->
00:31:30
And then he adds something even more profound. He says, well, only conditionally.
00:31:31 -->
00:31:32
Allah already knows everything.
00:31:34 -->
00:31:36
Allah doesn't need the examples you do.
00:31:37 -->
00:32:19
Allah didn't have to come to your level. And to give you an example that you can understand. That's
why Allah says no karate natural no Quran and Arabic in the Quran and Allah, Allah Allah Khun
Tachyon him we made this into an Arabic Quran we sent it down as an Arabic Quran so you can
understand, he made this book understandable to you. So when Allah goes out of his way to get to
reveal the best lesson most suited for your benefit, and you are not even grateful for that. You you
learn you read the same lesson and you complain, then who's more ungrateful than you? And that's why
I'm a Latina, cafaro those who are ungrateful what's their reaction to this amazing courtesy given
00:32:19 -->
00:32:57
by a lot of giving an example for Hulu? Then they turn around and say, Mother or the law? What does
ally intend behalf Motherland by giving this as an example, Arabic students beware. common mistake
in translation here, mother or other law hubby has a muscle and translated one is Ally mean by this
example? homie, this does not say this example that would have been hostile method. That would have
been Sharon Sharon layer button. This system is however, Matalan is different. And it makes a world
of a difference, oh my god, everything changes. A student can actually come to the teacher and say,
Teacher, what is this example? mean?
00:32:58 -->
00:33:07
That's a legitimate question. That's a completely fair question. And believers can ask actually,
mother or other law will be hi Val, method, no problem.
00:33:08 -->
00:33:19
But when you become condescending, and you talk down to your teacher, and you say, what's the point
of this as an example? You're going to give this as an example. That's the
00:33:20 -->
00:33:39
that's an attitude problem. Questions are not the problem in our religion. It's the attitude with
which you ask them it's the tone with which you ask them. The Quran is very specific, not just about
our speech, but the nature of our speech. You can't just say Assalamu alaykum you have to be smiling
too. Yes
00:33:42 -->
00:33:54
you can somebody just gave her her lover like hamdulillah like that's not uncommon in law. You can't
do that. You know, you can't say Salaam which means I'm at peace with you there's no fight between
us we're all good.
00:33:55 -->
00:34:18
And then slammed the door and so like that's not salame you know, attitude and speech go hand in
hand. So when somebody comes in asks I don't understand there's a tone and the negative tone is
captured in the 10 years here mother around the lobby Haha, my salon. With this as an example. What
is the intent? What's the point of this? What's even the point? You will know v Catherine?
00:34:20 -->
00:34:24
He misguides by means of it many the heart could go to many things.
00:34:25 -->
00:34:54
A lot could be he could mean here that you need to build coal. Meaning by this kind of speech. He
misguides many, but the dominant view is this example in this Quran. Allah will misguide many, by
the means by means of the same Quran lots of people, instead of finding guidance in the Quran, he
azido home new fora, it will increase them even more hatred. They'll hate it even more the more than
read Koran, the more they'll hate it, why they came with the wrong attitude.
00:34:55 -->
00:34:59
Well, yeah, Devi kathira and he'll guide many, many, many with it by means of the same
00:35:00 -->
00:35:09
unsane Quran is guidance same Quran can be misguidance depends on the lens you put on. Depends on
the eyes with which you look so hon Allah. Now we're understanding what it meant when Allah said,
00:35:11 -->
00:35:53
you have to come with the right attitude and that will be guidance. Otherwise No. But if you just
read this much he missed guides, many buyers, he guides many buyers a question is created, which 1am
I for login if Allah decides that I will be misguided by the Quran, what's the fault of mine? Allah
Himself clarifies Who are the people who don't deserve guidance from this book? Who does he best
guide even by the Quran? The ultimate guidance then its name is the guide and yet people are getting
misguided by who could those unfortunate people be? Allah himself says what am I only Louis lol
philosophy? And no, he doesn't misguided by means of it anyone at all in any moment you looby he
00:35:53 -->
00:36:41
had. This is the stuff that is not mentioned here. This is why this forum is open ended. There is
not a soul not a human being. No creature will ever ever, ever be misguided by means of this Quran
except alpha CP, except those whose corruption comes out fast aka in Arabic actually used it's
actually used for fruits that go bad and the peel like an orange or a banana that's gotten very old
and parts of the peel has melted away and the inside is going out. That's actually for soccer for
soccer news. You know, for soccer tufa fosatu, haha, the apple gets bad when the inside comes out
and Hulu Arsenal fiscal courage to come out. Allah says Allah does not misguide by means of it,
00:36:41 -->
00:37:17
except those whose corruption has gotten so bad inside of them, that it even starts what coming out,
it just starts it even comes out. Those are the people that Allah will not let guidance happen to.
Because their filth was so overwhelming, it couldn't even be contained. And then if that definition
wasn't comprehensive enough, the next ayah actually describes who and faceting are now on this
point, because we have to compare the Quran and the language of the Quran in the language of the
Muslims, it's important to make a distinction in the language of the alcohol, the Muslims. First it
can be a singer.
00:37:18 -->
00:37:37
A singer can be fast, but somebody who's regularly missing prayer can be called according to fuqaha
fossa. Okay, somebody who's not kind to his mother can also be called faster, somebody who's not you
know, like he's delayed giving my house or something to his wife, or he's done something or the
other, okay? These kinds of people can be called what
00:37:38 -->
00:37:47
this is in the language of the fuqaha and the culture of the Muslims. But please understand, just
because we use that word for each other, and then you read that word in the Quran, you're like, Oh
my God,
00:37:48 -->
00:37:49
my cousin
00:37:51 -->
00:38:40
right here Allah he'll never get guidance from the Quran. Cuz he's totally fasik and no, no, no, no,
no, this is high level classic situation here. There's degrees of Fiske there's degrees of
corruption. The Quran talks about the ultimate high end facet you understand it's not just anybody
who just you know falls under some category of Fiske according to the law now according to the juris
Now, let's see what Allah defines the facet as it's amazing. And Lavina young una de la, he may
embody Misaki those who violate the promise made with Allah, the promise made binding by Allah and
nakaba violate I'm translating it actually means hello Larrocha. It actually means to undo or not,
00:38:41 -->
00:38:48
uh, not takes a lot of work to tie, ask it to ask a third grader. It's a lot of work to tie a knot.
But it's very little to what
00:38:49 -->
00:39:33
I'm doing a knot is actually very strong, you can serve a purpose, but it's very easy to undo and
when you undo it, it can create disturbance, destruction in Brahm, for example, back in the old
days, construction in Arabic was not with cement construction was in the Arab culture, you would
take two beams of wood and you would tie them coil it this way. coil it that way. coil it this way,
coil it that way, tie it up, that was called Les Brown. Okay, the idea of tying something tight and
you can knuckleball Les Brown, which means you just undid the rope and it just all came apart. Okay.
That's the idea of jiankou. So the image that's projected by this word, is the idea of you being
00:39:33 -->
00:39:52
tied into something, you being tied into something. So Allah says, Allah, Nina Yun, kabuna,
Abdullah, those who untie in a sense the promise made with a law. In other words, the promise you've
made is with a lot has tied you to him has connected you to him. Now what is used to tie someone to
something?
00:39:53 -->
00:39:55
What is used to tie Tell me
00:39:56 -->
00:39:59
a rope, a rope and in the Quran.
00:40:00 -->
00:40:06
own language what is the Quran itself called? Why don't see movie have Lima
00:40:07 -->
00:40:09
have been heavily used.
00:40:10 -->
00:40:51
But with a rope he's tied the rope itself is the Koran and we are tied to Allah in the promise
through what the word of Allah. And that's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam and say we're
helping a lot in my team and a summary of the Quran is the extended rope of Allah, extending from
the skies all the way to the earth, we are holding one end of it and the other end is with Allah, it
directly connects us to Allah, it ties us to Allah, those who untied the promise made with Allah.
One of its first meanings is those who undo their relationship with Allah zone words. Those who let
go of Allah's words, those who let go of the promises made with Allah. But there's a deeper meaning
00:40:51 -->
00:41:30
here, which I'll get to in ChildLine. The next I hopefully I can get to all of it today and be
concise mimbar the Misaki even after it has been deep, strongly tightened up, and without an Arabic
to tie something up and tighten it. This is without what's up or why second Arabic is used for
confidence. Confidence meaning I'm absolutely sure about something I've tightened it up tight. Allah
says that the undo the promise of Allah even after it was tighten tight. In other words, it wasn't a
loose tie that they just kind of pull the string and it came apart. It took effort even to untie it.
It was a strong thing that they ended they went out of their way. Cuz you know, the corruption was a
00:41:30 -->
00:42:12
little It was so bad that it came out even right in Burundi with Aki, now, on this end, you have to
understand so far what I've shared with you is these people have cut their relationship with who,
with Allah, they cut the rope, they untied the rope, they disconnected themselves with Allah. Now if
you look at the next part of this ayah, wire cutter onomah amatola will be unusable and they cut up
first the untie, then they cut notice everything. Here's about disconnecting all the languages about
disconnecting, they cut what Allah commanded to keep joined together, they cut what Allah commanded
and use Allah that should be joined together, use all that comes from the word setup, which is
00:42:12 -->
00:42:22
connection. And pretty much majority of the professors don't agree and it's very clear from the
siac. Also, Allah created the human being with two relationships, one with him,
00:42:24 -->
00:42:57
and one with other human beings starting with our own mother, you would not be on this earth if you
did not have a relationship with another human being starting with your own mother. And then the
relationship with Allah is injected into you the route that came from a large soldier, they've cut
their relationship with Allah. As a result, they also start cutting their relationship with their
family, their friends, their community. These are the kinds of people who don't give their parents
their rights, their children, their rights, their spouses, their rights, their brothers, their
rights, their neighbors, their rights, fellow human beings, their rights, things that were meant
00:42:57 -->
00:43:09
human beings were meant to live together. They were meant to live and it coexist in harmony. These
are the people who cut those ties that Allah commanded have to be kept together, especially you
know, who are harmed. But
00:43:10 -->
00:43:48
I will not be battling Nikita Bella, the relationships that tie us together to the belly of a
mother. Those relationships take priority in our religion. Actually, all humanity, in a sense is
connected by a mother. all humanity is the byproduct of Adam, and how was that I'm gonna lay him
out. So we're all connected by motherhood, actually, and fatherhood. But even even in your own
situation, like there are some relationships, there's actually other relationships is one that's by
choice, marriages by choice, right? Pretty much every family relationship you have outside of that
is not your choice. You didn't choose your mom, you didn't choose your kids, you didn't choose your
00:43:48 -->
00:44:21
siblings. Those are not choices. That choice was made by who it was made by Allah. And Allah
commanded that you be connected to these people. Because that wasn't your choice. That was his.
Those are the relationships they can't possibly cut. They couldn't possibly several those
relationships, even no matter how much they tried, no matter how much a Pakistani mother gets angry
at her son, she can't say about them in a bit. And then you're, you're not my son from Africa today.
I don't want to, you're no longer my son, you are as good as that to me, mother. You can say
whatever you want. He's still your son, and he's still alive.
00:44:23 -->
00:44:54
He's not dead. He's right there. You know, you can't just call off a relationship. I'm done with
you. You're no longer my sibling. He is. She is, you know, you things can get as bad as you want,
but the corrupt first, they were able to sever their tie with Allah, and then they severed their
ties with their fellow kin. So the two things that bring goodness in humanity is our relationship
with Allah. And as a result, our relationship with the rest of humanity,
00:44:55 -->
00:44:59
you know, and they cut both of them. And these are the most corruptive people.
00:45:00 -->
00:45:11
You will see them not just violent and vicious against Allah, you'll see them vicious against two
people around them, these are unforeseen. These are the people alive does not give guidance to from
his book.
00:45:12 -->
00:45:49
This is the definition of a fascinating how profound you know, well now you need to be a little
fussy teen and Latina young kabuna the Misaki wa yocto de la Mora la Javi, a new sod. And as a
result, when you've cut yourself from God, and you've cut yourself from people, you don't owe
anything to people, you just want to be your own thing. Then what's the only thing left? Well,
you've seen NFL and the NBA. Therefore they cause great deals of corruption in the land. Tell me
something we have in traditional societies across the world, family systems, people used to take
care of their parents in old age, people used to take care of their siblings, people used to be able
00:45:49 -->
00:46:04
to walk into each other's homes, neighbors, are we used to as a neighborhood take care of our
children together? Are we living in that same world today? No, those are stories of ancient times,
your kid is in the front porch, and you constantly keeping an eye because somebody just what your
neighbor just walk around, you're like, I don't know what his intentions are.
00:46:05 -->
00:46:21
We are that paranoid, and what is that individualized now. And then you have parents, or you know,
people whose parents are getting older, and those parents are living far, far away. And even when
they call, it's annoying. Even when they call, you're like I have to go and busy.
00:46:22 -->
00:46:58
Don't have time for this. You know, young people can't wait to leave home, they can't wait to get
out of the house under the annoying shadow of their father in their mother. And they want to go off
to college or wherever else. And when they go the first people they send a voicemail or their
parents or their siblings, but when a friend calls, especially in a legitimate kind of friend, then
immediate response. You know, this is if that's not cutting off, when you cut the people, you're
supposed to be connected to a law, first of all, and the people you're supposed to be connected to
the only thing that can come out of you as facade. You're not just going to be corrupt, you're going
00:46:58 -->
00:47:15
to cause corruption will you've seen the NFL and they'll cause corruption in the land. Some of the
most like, and now when the corruption goes so far, and so out there, then you're going to have
philosophies like well, you know, marriage is a pretty artificial construct who needs it? You know,
00:47:16 -->
00:47:33
with the kinds of immorality that is now considered not just normal, but the way humanity should
move forward is a result of these cuts, when family ties and the tie with the lowest cut, and what
else do you expect? Well, you see, do nothing.
00:47:34 -->
00:48:09
And so and these people think that they're winning, they think that keeping those ties together are
somehow you know, it's like a chain, I want to be free. I want to be able to do whatever I want. I
want to have whatever relationship I want with as many people as I want whenever I want. I want to
eat whatever I want drink whatever I want, consume whatever I want. I want to make money however I
want spend it however I want. I don't want to be tied by anything. I don't want to be tied by
expectations to a family or to God or anything else. When you are open and free like that you think
that you have saved yourself from loss? Like you're not missing out on life and the language of
00:48:09 -->
00:48:47
allowance that was it. He says hula hula Hassan, those people, they're the ultimate losers. They
think they're winning. They think they just freed themselves and the world just opened up to them.
They're the ultimate losers so hon Allah in one ayah the definition of Fiske soul comprehensive I
can't think of another in the Quran of this comprehensive nature. And why wouldn't why would Allah
give them the ultimate gift of guidance? When they can question the examples given by Allah guide,
the most beautiful of guidance is handed to them, but they they don't want anything to do with this
relationship. Now we get to this next I think 12 minutes is enough to get to this ayah inshallah
00:48:47 -->
00:49:20
Tada. very profound philosophical idea. Lots of things have been said about it. I shall share with
you what I find the most convincing of the opinions that I found. I'm grateful to the late Dr. Saad
eccmid Rahim Allah who had profound insight into this ayah Actually, he had that insight in his 20s
and he wrote 20s and 30s. And he wrote a paper on this ayah when he was in 1985 86, he wrote a paper
on desire, and it was published, and several earlimart from around Pakistan, and India, Reddit and
appreciated his work on this is I'm going to give you a summary of what he had said, because I do
think it's a great value
00:49:21 -->
00:49:56
allows him to stay phatak for Nabila, he will continue Martin, how could you How could you possibly
be ungrateful to Allah and disbelieve in Allah while you used to be dead, you used to be dead stage
one you used to be dead for a year come, then he brought you to life stage two. So maybe you need to
come, then he will give you death stage one, three familiar he can then he will bring you back to
life. stage four, what was the first stage you used to be dead? The first thing we have to
distinguish is being dead and non existence are not the same thing.
00:49:57 -->
00:50:00
being dead and not existing is not the same thing.
00:50:00 -->
00:50:26
thing as a matter of fact, if somebody, somebody janazah they're in the coffin dead, that doesn't
mean they don't exist. As a matter of fact, in any language the use of the word dead only applies
when they used to have what before then life. So in the eye there seems to be an indication Allah
says, How could you this disbelieve in Allah while you used to be dead and by the way in the Quran
and the Sunnah of the prophet SAW a sudden death is very close to sleep,
00:50:27 -->
00:51:07
death and sleep are deeply connected and related to each other. As a matter of fact, this week
Allahumma Muto will I hear as you go to sleep Alhamdulillah Allah The ohana, ba ma, ma ma, ma, ma ma
ma, ma ma Alhamdulillah, the one who gave us life after he had given his death. So death and sleep
are very, very close to each other you with me so far? But then, strangely, the ayah doesn't begin,
how could you disbelieve in Allah and you were nothing and Allah created you. That's not what he
said. He said you used to be dead. That's a very specific phrase. And then what makes it even more
pertinent is sort of what min Allah azza wa jal says about this is on the tongue of disbelievers on
00:51:07 -->
00:51:27
judgment day. And they're really they're regressing and they're, you know, disgusted by their
behavior. Now they're so disgusted with themselves, they turn to Allah, and they make an appeal to
Allah to be given another chance. But the rationale they use is pretty epic. Listen to this, call
Ravana. A methane ethane has nothing for
00:51:28 -->
00:51:31
alumina for helina. Hydrogen, min Sabine
00:51:32 -->
00:51:37
Yala, you had given us death twice. You gave us life twice.
00:51:38 -->
00:51:46
And we admit we were wrong. We had made our sense. Could you? I mean, you've done it twice before.
Could you just another time, please?
00:51:48 -->
00:51:49
I mean, you didn't do it twice.
00:51:51 -->
00:51:56
The piece that I want your attention on here is the first thing they said was what did I give them
twice?

To give death can only happen when you have one life, you can't be given death unless you have life
to begin with. So the idea at hand that reads How can you disbelieve in Allah and you used to be
dead, suggests that there was actually actually a life even before this one. So that's actually not
stage one. This is stage two. Stage One is a life that already existed. Then came this sleep. I'm
putting sleep now instead of what death because death and sleep are close to each other. Actually,
on Judgement day when we come out of our graves. Some people will say Mumbai ethanolamine, Mark
Kadena, who brought us out of our beds, who brought us out of our bed or sleeping places Mark
00:52:41 -->
00:52:58
Kadena. Anyway, the first stage was like a life, then Allah gave us this sleep this death, then
there's a life, then there's that let's understand what this journey means. This is the journey of
life itself. Okay, the first thing a lot I did, is he created all of us, all of us at the same time.
00:53:00 -->
00:53:39
All of us were created this creation called the rule was created all at the same time. And when we
were all together before Allah, there is the rule doesn't have age, it doesn't have gender, it
doesn't have any of that stuff. It's beyond those things. But it was actually me. And it was
actually it was no man, it was well said if it was under law, you know, it was not it was really all
of us existed. And we weren't children or adults or, you know, ancients and new ones. We were all at
a high level. And we were in the company of a lot alive and well. And we didn't have a body yet
there was no body yet there was just total handler has a creature made of light.
00:53:40 -->
00:54:13
And we used to talk to a lot directly. A lot of us and tell us a lot about those conversations. But
he did give us a little tiny little picture of one of those conversations, one day a lot of turns to
all those human beings that he's created. And he says to them, and a lot of us to be a beacon, am I
not the master of all of you. And we all said but Ah of course you are shahidullah we testify you
are, you are. Allah said that because Allah mentions in the same ayah I made you testify like this,
so that you don't become unaware of this one day.
00:54:14 -->
00:54:52
That light that rule was in the company of who Allah and it receives its light from who allows
origin when a foster female role in that room who created that was there Fine. Then Allah put us in
a coma state. It seems we all want to see a kind of death. That is the death being mentioned here.
Then our Father impregnates our mother, and our mother is carrying a baby in her womb, and that baby
gets old enough. And Allah commands one of those sleeping souls, one of those. He commands the angel
take this one and put it inside that baby.
00:54:54 -->
00:54:59
And that same rule travels and it comes inside this baby. And now you're here.
00:55:00 -->
00:55:34
Now you're going to be coming out of your mother in law has given you what life that's, that's now
your second life, your first life was in the company of a law, this is your second life and the one
that you're going to meet a lot. And of course from here it's obvious, then you're going to die
again, you're going to be in the grave again. And when you're in the grave, your soul shall travel,
European travel, it will speak it will be questioned and put back in the grave. And then you'll be
brought out again and that will be your next and final life you with me now. So my little German,
then you will be taken back before Allah. Now this journey is important to know, because I won't go
00:55:34 -->
00:55:54
deeper yet because you know, I don't want to I want to rush through it. But I do want to share one
or two things with you. What whose company was the human being in before anybody else's company, a
company of Allah and the company so close that not only did the law speak to us directly, we spoke
to Allah directly. You know, when you're in good company, you get influenced.
00:55:55 -->
00:55:56
Natural, right?
00:55:57 -->
00:56:01
You can't imagine that you're in the company of Allah, and you're not influenced
00:56:02 -->
00:56:03
by can't be.
00:56:04 -->
00:56:28
Allah was impacted every single soul. And that's why Allah says fitflop the law let the photon NASA
Allah, the beautiful nature of Allah, the molding of Allah that He molded human beings on. We were
in his company, we got molded, our personalities got molded. By the way, human beings have a glimpse
of every attribute of a lion somewhere the other
00:56:29 -->
00:56:32
allies are a man of Rahim, do we show mercy?
00:56:33 -->
00:56:38
allies or Hakeem? Do we have some wisdom? allies or semi do we like to listen?
00:56:39 -->
00:56:53
Allah azza wa jal is alhaja. He creates everything do human beings have a desire to create stuff,
even from childhood put Legos together, do we have the desire to create stuff, every attribute of a
large religion in some little glimpse of it, you find it where inside
00:56:54 -->
00:57:29
inside the human being. And that's when you understand the phrase of the prophets lifestyle and in
several a Hadith, which is actually mimicking the Bible. But when you study the biblical version,
you find a chicky it's actually a very profound statement in the law either Manasa T. Allah azza wa
jal created Adam in his image, not physical image, in the image of those names and attributes that
make a lot as it was a beautiful, he made a reflection of them in the human being. Now that human
being who was in the company of Allah was put inside a mother. And then he comes out, and he starts
growing up. And as he grows up inside this body, he gets preoccupied with his body, but he doesn't
00:57:29 -->
00:58:06
lose sight of the fact that there's something deeper inside him. He was in a company and when you're
in the company of a lie, you're certainly going to miss him. Something's gonna be missing in your
life. And so as the human being grows, no matter what culture they belong to, all human beings have
had a desire for better home. They've had a desire for beauty. They've had a desire for better
clothing. Perfection. You why did why do you think you have this urge to move the furniture every
few weeks? Well, this looks better here. This color goes better there. I want to try this. I want to
try that. We're constantly looking for more and more beautiful RV.
00:58:08 -->
00:58:19
Do birds do that? Do alligators do that? More and more beautiful new monkeys do that? You know,
evolution can even explain the human human propensity for art.
00:58:20 -->
00:58:34
They can't. That's never existed, because it's not a necessity for survival. Why do you need art for
survival? Why do you need poetry for survival? Why do you need language beyond basic communication
app? Ah,
00:58:35 -->
00:58:38
we need more than that. You know,
00:58:40 -->
00:58:42
mothers know the way they talk to their kids. Well,
00:58:44 -->
00:58:47
that's all you need for like 16 years is just
00:58:49 -->
00:59:20
the fact that we have beautiful words we can think in the abstract, we can talk about art, beauty,
you know, these things that are inside of us. Why? Because we're constantly seeking perfection,
isn't it? In life, that desire to seek perfection, even in the material sense, is actually rooted in
the soul? That was in the company of perfection. We were in the company of Allah who is in the law.
Hi, Jimmy. lon you help boo, Jamal, finance honey, boo Jamal.
00:59:21 -->
00:59:59
Human beings just look for perfect. And by the way, they think they want to move to a nicer house.
They want to get nicer clothes, they want to get a nicer car, they want to look nicer. They want to
smell nicer. They want nicer, nicer, nicer, nicer. But is it ever satisfied? No. Because nothing
will fill the void of perfection like the company have a lot as origin. And that's why when finally
the believer gets to go back where he came from, where did he come from the company of Allah. He's
finally satisfied. And when you're satisfied you use the word what my end Allah says. Yeah, I love
so much my inner energy
01:00:00 -->
01:00:40
In in rpki, the status is satisfied sold, come back to your master. Why did he say come back?
Because you were with him in the beginning. And now in this final stage of life, the first stage of
life and the final stage of life are now meeting with each other, because you get to go back to the
same Rob, that it was perfect company you worse panela How can you be ungrateful to Allah and you
used to be dead and he brought you life inside of your mother's. Then he will give you that again.
So my widow, Camille samosa Tanaka. Give you a little bit of time and he'll give you death again.
Soon while you're here. Come, then he will bring you back to life again from LA he told john, then
01:00:40 -->
01:00:52
you will be taken back to Him. May Allah azzawajal return us back to our master in the most blessed
of ways. barakallahu li walakum and Hakeem when a funny word er coming out with him. salaam aleikum
wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
