The speakers discuss the concept of pride and pride in relation to one's position in relation to others. They also touch on the limitations of our own human capabilities and the potential for two galaxies to collide outside of our physical presence. They believe that science is increasingly making the case for a creator gaining credibility as the first explanation for why we are here.

			You know, the very first way that a lost parent I actually describes us in the end is Elif, Lamine
Valley Kalki tavolara, Buffy hood and lil McLean. alladhina Yamuna live. Las pantallas describes the
believers as people that believe in the unseen. So right away, I lost contact does away with this
notion that if you don't see it, then you can't believe it's a loss of Hannah hautala is basically
telling us as human beings that we come to a place in our faith, where we recognize that we are
simply incapable we're utterly incapable of understanding everything around us. And so once we've
come to this conclusion that a loss of hope to the creator and the one who sees all things in the
		
00:00:38 --> 00:01:10
			one who's created all things is the one who's informing us about the reality of things, then we come
to a satisfaction. And you know, this is really the essence of kibito the essence of pride, as the
Prophet slicin them, you know, in the very famous Hadith when he says that, no, one of you would
enter Paradise even with an atom's worth of pride in his heart. The companions were concerned with
that with that statement, because they thought to themselves well, pride could mean many things. So
they said O Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam does that mean? You know, if a person
likes to dress nicely, or a person likes to have nice shoes, does that mean that they have Kibera
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:50
			that they have pride? And the prophets license said no, he said el kebir. Pride is home to NASS Baba
total hack is to degrade people to judge people, or to deny legislation. And in essence, what
Kabbalah comes from what COVID comes from is this idea of making ourselves bigger. So when we say
Allahu Akbar, we say Allah is greater than absolutely anything else. When we have Kibet, we think
that we're greater than we actually are. And so we overestimate ourselves. And when we overestimate
ourselves, we naturally underestimate a loss of Hannah Montana, and that's the crime on the Day of
Judgment, Allah Subhana, Allah says, Mercado de la Hakata re that they did not give a law, his do
		
00:01:50 --> 00:02:27
			estimation and the amount of volume or you know, like comments on that Hadith from the messenger
slice on him. And he says that the reason why those two things would guarantee a person Hellfire is
because those are two rights that solely belong to a loss of 100 Allah being legislation and
judgment. So when you place yourself in a position of denying legislation, you are making yourself a
god. And when you place yourself in a position of judging someone else based on the law based on
what's apparent of them, you're also placing yourself in a position of God. And so, at that point,
you have developed a sense of pride where you have made yourself greater than you actually are. And
		
00:02:27 --> 00:03:02
			we'll record a study called the Allahu taala and who he when he wrote his letter to, to kiss Allah,
the emperor of Persia. He said to him something you know that's that's pretty interesting. He said,
when you look at it's a capital Allah He said, you know, Woe to you. Are you expressing pride with
Allah Wakata rostami Maharaja belly but what Mandala thing when you came out of Mahajan abode when
you came out of the place of urine twice in essence, who do you think you are? What were you created
from? Allah subhana wa tada tells us tells us this and the poor and Allah subhana wa tada says,
gluteal insulinoma Allah May men be destroyed what was he created from in the first place? How
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:42
			ungrateful is he? mean ha and Hanukkah what was he created from Min naupaka he was created from a
dirty drop a fluid hot alcohol for Pandora. Allah created him when he wilt and Allah subhana wa tada
proportion Tim the way that he will write so you had no say in your creation, you had no say in the
way that you were created, and a loss of Hannah hoods out of the mess. abelia Sala, he made the path
easy for you. And even Ambassador the law I know he says that this can be understood in both the
physical and the spiritual sense physically, he made it easy for you he facilitated your entrance
into this world so he facilitated your way into this world through the labor and and spiritually he
		
00:03:42 --> 00:04:18
			guided you to the straight path once he brought you into this world from a matter hufa Kabbalah when
Allah wills a loss apparently takes him away. And a lot puts him back into darkness again. So he
goes from the darkness of his mother's womb, to the darkness of this earth. In essence, you have no
power over yourself, who do you think you are? A law even takes us earlier than that. Allah says
hello to Alan in sunny shaylen Marina Del are held in sunny hainault Marina Del has men not come
across a time let me echo and shaylen with Cora when he was nothing to even be recognized. Before
you even that drop of fluid. Where were you? Who were you? And so this idea that we can understand
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:56
			everything around us. And if we can't see it, and we can't grasp it with our own human capabilities,
then it clearly doesn't exist. And it doesn't make sense. And I remember once being at the at the
San Diego Zoo with my family. And I'm that type of person that will actually stop and listen to what
the zoo keepers are saying about the animals because I find it quite fascinating. And so how do I
remember the last time that I was at the zoo? I was I was listening to the zookeeper saying that the
eagle the bald eagle actually has four times the vision of a human being right a human being not any
human being a human being with perfect eyesight. And she said that if you were to hang a newspaper
		
00:04:56 --> 00:05:00
			on a field goalpost three football fields away the East
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:41
			could actually read the fine print on that paper, a great white shark can can detect a drop of blood
in 25 gallons of water. Right? They can smell it from three miles away, an elephant can smell water
from three miles away. a hummingbird could beat their wings up to 80 times per second that to us is
humanly impossible. How could a hummingbird do such a thing, a fleet could jump 200 times its
height, which is equivalent to a man jumping over the Empire State Building. a cheetah could go from
zero to 60 miles per hour and three seconds, a giraffe can stand within half an hour of its birth.
So all of these things essentially show us that we are not as superior of a creation as we think we
		
00:05:41 --> 00:06:19
			are. And the mountains of Anatolia, Rahim Allah had a beautiful reflection on that. So if you're
under 30, he said, the only thing that we actually Surpass everything around us in is our ability to
properly prostrate our ability to do salute to Allah subhanaw taala to put every part of our body in
such the to last Pattaya and prostration. Because that's why Allah created us. That's the purpose he
gave to us. And that's what we are superior to the creation around us in doing. So we are limited in
our own creation. And obviously, you know, the things around us are far more vast than than we can
possibly grasp. You know, you'll hear scientists constantly saying, you know, that there are now
		
00:06:19 --> 00:07:01
			this many billion stars that we are sure exists and this many billion stars. And so, at this point,
now scientists have come to the conclusion that there are over 300 billion stars in our galaxy, and
perhaps over a trillion planets in our galaxy alone. Right. And then you talk about the the galaxies
that exist outside of our galaxies, and the planets and the things that that are flying around
outside of outer space where we can even see. And scientists say that the that the, the chance of
two galaxies colliding, that's outside of what we can see the chance of two galaxies colliding where
there are over 100 billion of them, is the same possibility as a fly from Paris and a fly from DC
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:41
			colliding. So what you should ask next is what how vast is that space that contains those 100
billion galaxies that we think exists and we can't even see. And somehow when you look at the Big
Bang Theory, and how this all came together, scientists will happily admit that if things were even
1,000,000,000,000th of a second off, none of this happens. None of this around us happens, in fact,
not a single star forms. And so when you look at the creation around us how vast it is, you know,
who could be doing all of this except for a creator, except for a loss of Hannah Montana? And how
could we exist when scientifically There are over 200 known parameters that are necessary necessary
		
00:07:41 --> 00:08:21
			for a planet to support life, and every single one of them has to be perfectly met? So how could we
possibly exist, had it not been for a creator, that put us here. And so I saw this article, you
know, floating around recently that that science is increasingly actually making the case for a
designer for God. And dr. john Lennox, from Oxford, he said that the more we get to know about our
universe, the more the hypothesis that there is, a creator gains credibility as the best explanation
of why we are here. And so it has to be something the Creator has to be something that is outside of
our concept of time, because obviously, time is created in time, you know, there has to be a cause
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:38
			and effect and creation has to be created and so on so forth. It has to go back to something that is
completely free of our notions of time that is completely free of our notions of cause and effect.
That is completely self existence. And that has a will in order to will the creation to begin in the
first place. And that's a loss of Hannah Horton.
