Nouman Ali Khan – The Wisdom Given to Dawud (AS) Ep 3 – Hikmah in the Quran Dhul Hijjah Series

			right I have learned a lot from people with that kind of experience. What is the Quran actually
doing here? It's amazing. The Quran is saying life experience. life experience will teach you what
		

			wisdom. And when Allah says Allah gave thou the other SLM wisdom is not what he say. He's telling
us, Allah gave doubt at a salon life experiences that taught him a lot about how people work, how
society works, how business partners work, how families work, and that is actually part of the
wisdom he's using to understand cases, to understand human behavior. You see what I'm saying?
		

			This new short series is based on the findings of Dr. Zakir Hussain in his PhD thesis wisdom in the
Quran, which was summarized and presented by iostat doorman in front of a live audience. The link to
the full paper is in the description.
		

			So we're going to talk about two prophets are one profit and one nonprofit, but they have something
in common and I'm going to show it to you because from here on, we're not talking about hikma in
theory, we're going to actually look at actual places in the Quran and discuss ECMO. So the first
place we're going to look at is the story of that without a Saddam and here's the place you can find
it. Many of you have Quran apps on your phones, so you can open it up in sha Allah, I'll open it up
to and I'll read it from here with you. Okay. So this is surah number 38. Solid and iron number 17.
Okay.
		

			It's Medina Maya pollun was corrupt. Derrida would
		

			aid in novel awam be patient the prophet has been told the patient over whatever they say to you.
And remember Our servant dowload who had might, he had the one of great might he kept coming back to
Allah. Allahu Allah. And nasaka najiba Ma, who we subdued, we overpowered the mountains along with
him, you Sabina Bella. She was a Schrock they used to praise Allah the mountains used to praise
Allah along with him in the night and in the morning time. What played I'm not sure. And the birds
used to gather around for him called Luna who Awad they used to keep gum coming back towards him,
which said that now Malika, who this is the part we're interested in now for this discussion, and we
		

			gate we strengthened his kingdom. Where are they now? Hold? hokhmah. And we gave him wisdom. Because
our discussion is hikma, right? Allah says, We strengthened him, his kingdom and we gave him wisdom.
Well, first of all, hip hop, and we gave him decisive speech, powerful speech, okay. Now, now that
Allah has said, He's given him wisdom, he's going to tell us a story about him. And I'm not gonna go
into the details of that story, but I'll give you the gist. Now, the other is Saddam was in his
quarters. And Allah says, attack Annaba al Hassan, did the news of the arguing groups come to you.
If the soul may rub the doubt on a salon was a king. And kings live in castles. And the king's
		

			quarters are usually higher up inside the castle in the more secure area. And he was up in his
quarters praying. And Murghab is the corner of the house where it's private, where you pray. And he
turns around from the prayer. And he sees a bunch of people in you can imagine in his bedroom, there
in his inner quarters. So you can imagine like in America, there's the White House, right? And the
White House has extra layers of security. They've got snipers on the roof. And they've got security
guards and dogs and they've got all this kind of stuff, right? And there's a presidential residence
inside. And the President comes out of the bathroom and there's six guys sitting there. Hey, we got
		

			a question, Mr. President. Like, if somebody made it through all those layers of security, what does
that mean?
		

			They're gonna kill you. That's what how could they get through all those layers of security and be
inside your presidential bedroom? You understand? So he turns around and he sees these people if the
Hulu Isla download. They came into the woods company in the backdrop for fasea minimum, he was
terrified of them. He was shocked at what's going on here. Right? And by the way that will Darlene
Salam is not just a king, he's a military leader. And military leaders have enemies. And if they see
someone just inside their private quarters, they know this is going to be an assassination attempt.
So this a lot of cars cost money. Bah, bah, bah, no, no, no, no, no, don't be afraid. We just have
		

			an issue. We just want you to give us your advice about it. I try to one of the ways I think about
the stories in the Quran is I tried to place myself in that situation.
		

			So I imagine I'm, you know, I finish here and I go back to the hotel I'm staying at and I go in the
bathroom of the hotel, wash up come out of the bathroom, and there's eight of us sitting on my bed
		

			I didn't get a chance to talk to you there, but
		

			my cousin works at this hotel and
		

			we have a question. You said in one of your videos Oh,
		

			bro.
		

			I'm sorry brother
		

			you see how shocking that would be? And how, like right now I'm not thinking about whether or not to
give you the right answer. I'm thinking about whether or not to kick you out of my room call the
police or run.
		

			But the thing that fell on my own but Make yourselves comfortable guys. No, no, no, it's okay. It's
okay. Yeah, yeah, sit there. Yeah. No, put your shoes there. Yeah. I never liked that suitcase.
Okay.
		

			So he says when I touched it, why dinner? Illa. So So they say, you know, could you judge between
us? And don't? Don't give us a bad answer? Let him know, toasted. Don't don't give us a nonsense
answer. And then they say, guide us to the right path. This is my brother. He owns 99 sheep. I only
own one of them was Danny will call back Phil Nia. He says give me that one you have also well as
any Fill him up and he keeps yelling at me. He keeps intimidating me. He talks to me in a bullying
way that Isaiah means to have power over someone. So he uses his power. 99 sheep means he's
wealthier means he has more servants. He has more influence. And he uses that influence and talks
		

			down to me and says give me your sheep, man. Come on, what are you gonna do with it? Just if you
were good at the sheep business, you wouldn't have one. Okay. Just give it to me. It'll be it's
better for you. And so he keeps bullying me. By the way. Let me give you a new version of this.
There's a because I just came from Buxton. So I saw this. There's people they build these housing
complexes, housing communities, gated communities, right? Like, DHA is or whatever, right? And
they'll they'll build like 5000 houses. And you're you're outside these communities with the gates
and the security guards and the machine guns. And you're in Pakistan, you know what that means?
		

			You're on the highway going this way. There's a guy on a bicycle going this way. There's a guy on a
rickshaw going that way. There's a truck going this way. This is the highway. Right? But it's it's a
it's truly a freeway. Right? Now, I understood the meaning of the word.
		

			It's free. It's a freeway, and then you walk through those gates. And all of a sudden you're in
California, the streets are clean. Everything's prim and proper. The roads are paved. People are
observing traffic laws, there's malls, there's people who think they speak English. There's all
kinds of stuff.
		

			I went to some of those restaurants just to hear what they think is English. Yarn, what the * ya
like, I love that. I love it. I love it, it tastes better than the food.
		

			Anyway, back to the fraud, okay.
		

			Now what they do is they build these housing developments. And there's one guy who owns this old,
ugly little house in the middle. And he doesn't want to sell. He doesn't want to sell his property.
So you know what they do? They build all around him.
		

			And he can't even get to his house.
		

			He there's no road, nothing he can't get there. You got a choice, where you could just sell it.
Because we're going to build them all there. We're gonna build whatever there. You know what that
is, you've got people that are very powerful. They have a lot of money. And then you have someone
who owns something, but he doesn't have power.
		

			One has 99 the other just has one. One and the ones that have 99 can believe the one that has one.
And that happens in Pakistan. That happens in America, that happens in Australia, that happens in
Canada that happens in the United Kingdom and happens in Germany happens all over the world. You
know, sometimes governments do this to citizens, right? Sometimes business partners do this to other
business partners. Sometimes big business does it to small businesses, doesn't it? And so this is a
scenario that happens in the world of business all the time. Now listen to the words of the Dalai
Lama get to the point
		

			he says doubt on a salon says I'm only quoting a part of it that's relevant for our discussion what
in that cathedral middle filata layer believe Barbu home Isla down
		

			actually a huge number of people that are mixed together in business relationships.
		

			They end up doing wrong to each other.
		

			Okay, and from the context you can tell who does wrong to who the one who has more ends up doing
wrong to the one who has less right and the one who has the power to intimidate and the bullying the
other and this happened Hola.
		

			It actually also means people that have lives connected to each other like family. Family, right? So
in families, for example, there's the dad, and there he has six sons, right? And one of those sons
is wealthier or more powerful or politically connected, and the other sons are not, or two of them
are more connected, the other four are not. And when time comes for the inheritance, you can almost
guess who's not going to get their share. Right? Because the ones that are connected are going to
just take out the ones that are not connected or they're not going to get anything, right. So this
kind of thing plays out in Tao de la salaam says, a lot of times people that are mixed with each
		

			other, they end up doing wrong to each other. Okay, this statement that he makes, and then he says
Illa Latina Armando, Amiel Saudi Hartwell Cali Loma home, except for those who believe and do good
deeds and how few they are, meaning, a sign of people who truly believe and do good deeds as they
don't mess with business deals. Right? And he says how few they are. This statement of doubt, think
about it. This is Allah explaining what hikma looks like. Allah just said, Allah gave the old what
hikma now people came to him and said, This is our case. And before he judges the case, he says,
Listen, this happens a lot. But this idea that this happens, a lot, read a doubt get it from? Did he
		

			get it from Revelation, you think? Or did he get it from dealing with lots of cases.
		

			He dealt with lots and lots of cases. He's a ruler. He's head of bernisa EAN. He deals with them all
the time. He sees many, many, many kids, he's a judge. If you talk to experienced judges, they've
seen a lot of stuff. You know, some of the most insightful conversations I've had in my life are
with military generals, and judges, and lawyers. You learn a lot from those people. Like I just tell
them so what have you learned 50 years sitting on the bench? He goes, You can't learn that in a 30
minute conversation. I said, there's always a start. Let's begin and give me something. Right. I
learned a lot from people with that kind of experience. What is the Quran actually doing here? It's
		

			amazing. The Quran is saying life experience. life experience will teach you what
		

			wisdom and when Allah says Allah gave thou the other insight and wisdom. Isn't that what he said?
He's telling us, Allah gave doubt at a salon life experiences that taught him a lot about how people
work, how society works, how business partners work, how families work. And that is actually part of
the wisdom he's using to understand cases, to understand human behavior. You see what I'm saying?
This is actually an incredible case of for wisdom. Now before this, you might think wisdom is
something that comes from Allah. Wisdom is something spiritual wisdom is something if you pray a
lot, it will come to you, though, that's the spiritual meaning of wisdom that's there to in the
		

			Quran. But in this passage, there's another dimension of wisdom, which we almost think is secular.
It's not even religious, it's secular. What is it? His role as a judge? He's seen people do messed
up things. And it's taught him a lot. It's taught him a lot. What does that do for a student of the
Quran like myself, you know what that does. When I'm studying something in the Quran, I'm studying,
for example, the there's ayat about divorce, we're going to talk about the Ayat of divorce tomorrow
a little bit, because they mentioned wisdom in them, too.
		

			That's going to be a fun conversation. I'm going to leave right after that. But anyway.
		

			But the reason I brought that up, is when you look at the Ayat of or when you when you look at, you
know, divorce cases.
		

			And you look at divorce judges and what they have to go through, they have to actually look at real
life situations, and learn from them. So when I'm studying the art of divorce, I actually talk to
divorce attorneys. I talk to marital counselors, I talk to psychologists, I talk to people that
experienced divorces, right? Because they have wisdom that I need to understand these ayat, what
kind of wisdom do they have?
		

			life experience that is an acknowledged form of wisdom and the Quran itself. Through the example of
Tao that is undoubtedly Saddam's wisdom is actually life experience. So what I'm saying that is the
Quran is very broad in its definition of wisdom. And we're gonna go through each one of those
examples of wisdom highlights a new picture for wisdom. So your your grandparents have a lot to
teach you from their life experience. The elders in our community are banks of wisdom that nobody's
utilizing. They What did you learn from your life? You know, and we're not taking advantage
