Omar Suleiman – The Beginning and the End – EP 59 Feeling Insecure

			So we mentioned the plan of shape on all of his plans entail selling you an insecurity or giving or
creating an insecurity and then selling you something that's how to deal with that insecurity. So
let's take, for example, the two specific things that shavon actually mentions in his tantrum as
he's talking about how he's going to lead us astray. He says two things that seem very awkward. He
says that, you know, as a result of me coming to them from in front of them from behind them from
the right from their left, what are they going to do? He says, fella, you bet he couldn't have done
an arm well arm or unknown fella, you lay your own Alcala, that as a result of my data to them, they
		

			are going to cut the ear of a cow or the cattle phenomenon know him and then I will commend them
follow up Rhonda Falco Allah and they will change the creation of Allah subhanaw taala. So all of a
sudden, we're hearing about cows ears, and we're hearing about the changing of the creation of a
loss of power. What does that even mean? And why is shavon bringing these two things up as like
these primary things, because if you're reading these, if you're thinking he's gonna talk about
murder, and he's gonna talk about adultery, and he's gonna talk about these types of things. But
let's go back to that equation that we mentioned shavon tries to create insecurities. Now these two
		

			things First and foremost, cutting the ear of the cow, what what's being referred to here is a good
luck charm, or you know, superstitions, horoscopes, you know, people wear a rabbit, you know, rabbit
ears, or, you know, some type of tooth or whatever it may be, right, something that belongs to an
animal or some sort of good luck charm, are people actually start to believe that, you know, if this
person is at my game, and if this person is wearing this color jersey, then we're gonna win the
game, then you know, everything's gonna be okay. People start putting their beliefs in these silly
things. And they seem very silly fortune cookies, right? Although I don't remember the last time I
		

			met someone who actually believed in a fortune cookie, but they must be out there, right? But people
start believing in these little things. And they start believing that those things actually can
affect their outcome in life. Right? Now, what is the insecurity? The insecurity here is the
ultimate insecurity that you're not sure that Allah is really in control. That's the ultimate
insecurity, you are questioning Allah subhanaw taala has control. And Allah Subhana ties authority,
and allows power. Now what does shavon do? He tries to make you resort to superstition, good luck
charms, right? These, you know, these little things were this and it's gonna save you, instead of
		

			doing what the prophets lysozyme said, you see these blue eyes that are hanging on everyone's cars,
and you know, not actual blue eyes. No, I don't think anyone actually has blue eyes. But those
little things that have, you know, the blue eye there, and this, this relic is supposed to protect
your house from envy and protect it from the evil eye. And if you were, then it's going to protect
you, and so on so forth, you start resorting to all of these things that are hot on, because you
have this insecurity about the control and the power of a loss of Hannah Montana, and the way that
Allah subhanaw taala truly controls your future and your outcomes. So that's an you know, a major
		

			insecurity. And the second one, that they will change the creation of Allah subhanaw taala. You
know, one of the ways that you can clearly, you know, identify insecurity in a person is when they
start to alter themselves, when they start to go through cosmetic surgeries when they start to not
for any need or necessity, but they start to change the way that they look. And unfortunately,
that's something that's praised in the society, right, a person goes under, you know, under the
knife for 16 2024 hours to change something about themselves, and that's praised, right. But the
problem is, is that what we're not addressing is the insecurity, the insecurity, I don't like the
		

			way Allah created me, I'm not satisfied with the way that God created me. I'm not confident with
what with what God has given to me. And so shavonne creates insecurity, then shape on says, we'll
try to change it in an impermissible way. Here's how you can start altering yourself, here's how you
can start changing yourself to look better. Right? So you're not pursuing the, you know, you're not
pursuing the sight of Allah subhanaw taala you're pursuing the sight of people and you're pursuing
the sight of people in all of the wrong ways. you're pursuing the sight of people in ways that are
degrading to you and degrading to the purpose that Allah subhanaw taala gave to you. So in both of
		

			these situations, insecurity is created. And it's a major insecurity that represents something far
larger than what meets the eye. And shavon proposes something that is explicitly prohibited by Allah
or his messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, not because these little things and that's one of the
reasons why these little things are mentioned. Because, you know, if I was to see someone bowing to
an idol, right, then I would, I would assume certain things about that person as opposed to someone
that you know, just had a good luck charm on their chest. But they could both be committing an act
of Schick right they could both
		

			be committing an act of disbelief. It's not about the size of the idol, right? If you're worshiping
a huge Buddha statue, or if you're worshipping a teacup, right, that has a picture of a Buddha
statue, or of your favorite, you know, pop star, whatever it is, it's the same thing. It still
should. So one of the reasons why shavonne proposes these small things, is because these small
things represent major things, and you're more likely to not take them as seriously. And instead of
addressing the insecurity and addressing, you know, the problem that you have in believing in the
loss, pantiles authority and control and how are lost parents it created you so that you could
		

			fulfill that instead, you resort to these things, and that, you know, those things are symptoms of a
far greater problem and we ask a loss pantai to grant us security and the right things and to not
let us become insecure in a way that shavon could feast on our insecurity.
