Did you know that the shark can detect a drop of blood from 3miles away? An elephant can smell water from 3 miles away? A cheetah can go from 0-60 miles in 3seconds? A bald eagle’s eyesight is 4x the perfect eyesight of the human? Did you think there is no Creator considering you cannot explain all the above? That you cannot explain how you were created from a drop of fluid? That you cannot explain where you were before you were that drop of fluid? All the signs around you are evidence that there is a Creator. And they go further to emphasize that there is a Designer. So what existed before us? Before the Universe? Before even Time? These questions and the responses are here in this talk of Sheikh Omar. Take a wee bit of time off today and give him a listen.

Debate oven muttering about the Aloha Nui says that I was one of the greatest enemies of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and he said I hated him more than any other human being on the face of this earth. But he said one time I walked into the masjid, and I heard the Prophet slicin I'm reciting the ayah from sort of the Torah and holy comb enviroshake am humble Harley Quinn m Hello, Sam, I wanted to Bella up on where they created from absolutely nothing, or are they themselves suggesting that they are the creators of holla personality? Or did they create the heavens in the earth? Rather, they have absolutely no idea they are in utter confusion. So debater says that at
that moment when the Prophet slicin um said that even though debate wouldn't officially accept Islam until later on in his life, he says, What caught on a man of equality, he said, faith entered my heart. I knew at that point that there's absolutely no way that there isn't a God that there isn't a loss of Hannah Montana. And you know, if you really just sit with yourself and you go through the process of elimination of the scientific possibilities of how we're here, and how everything else around us is here, then we find that there is no other way to explain it except by Allah subhanho wa Taala. And a lot tells us this in the quarter and Allah subhanaw taala he says, and swithun Ackoff,
he says, Good, our Ito Mehta, the Roman doula, he says, say to those people that worship others besides Allah subhana wa Tada, our only mother holla pulmonale show me what they created from this earth Amma whom shall confess them out or do they have any partners in the in the heavens and the creations of the heavens eternally be Kitab in in probably had a thought or terminated me in quantum saw the pain bring forth any form of narration, any form of book, anything that would suggest that what they're saying makes any sense whether it's textual logic, or whether it's sexual, whether it's just intellectual, bring forth any form of evidence that would suggest that those that you worship
besides Allah Subhana Allah to Allah have anything to do with the creations of the heavens and earth. now realize that the Quran and the Sunnah, they're addressing a people that worship partners besides Allah subhanho wa Taala, because atheism really didn't exist in the time of the Prophet slice of them, or at least he didn't encounter that because that's even far more absurd to suggest that there's absolutely no creator is far more absurd than saying that, well, there are multiple creators and this is taking place and that's taking place because, you know, at least those people that believe in something, you know, have some form of explanation, you know, for how we got here.
So Allah says, tell me what they created from this earth. And Allah started off with a Rooney, mother, Holloman, and Otto, tell me what they created from this earth instead of smls instead of the heavens, because a lot of mush, who does the scholar say, the Earth is that which is witnessed? You can see this stuff around you, you know, let's not even talk about the heavens, yeah, let's talk about your house. Let's talk about the earth. Let's talk about the mountains. Let's talk about the raw materials, the seeds, and even if you even if you would say that, well, we made our houses and we put together cars and we manufacture these things. How could you do that? without the permission
of Allah subhanho wa Taala without the things that are provided to you from the sky? So what if Allah withheld the rain? So Allah says, Our only mother Holloman Tell me what they created from this earth? I'm not home should confess or not. And if you can't explain that, which is around you, then do you have a partner in regards to that which you can't see? You know, and the idea here is that there's no way that we could witness this that we can see what's really above us and beyond us. So do you have anyone that's giving you revelation as to what's happening over there? Are you in communication with with anyone that's explaining to you the creation of the heavens? So Allah
subhanaw taala starts off as the scholar say, with the Leela Actually, this is logical proof that there's clearly you know, you clearly have no explanation for the things around you, not that which you can see, and especially not that which you can't see. Then Allah moves on to delille nakliye Allah subhanaw taala moves on to the text, he toony Viki tabin probably had the lfl ultimate argument in quantum science. If you can explain it logically then do you have a textual proof for your own beliefs and things of that sort? So last pantalla says you don't have a logical explanation, nor do you have an intellectual explanation for this. And you know, there's there are a
lot of videos that have been produced recently, I saw them with atheist logic. And what they'll do is they'll show people putting things together or things that would come together out of nowhere and it would say atheist logic, and it reminds me of a debate that Imam Abu hanifa Rahim Allah had with a group of people called a daddy, a Darija. The literal translation of a Daria are the timers. In essence, these were people that said, Now you licona in law, that nothing you know does away with us except for time.
There is no creator there is no creator of time there's nothing that takes place after we pass away there is no afterlife, so on so forth, so this group challenge the member hunting for Rahim Allah because he was a thorn in their side. I mean, he was doing he was really just doing away with their movement altogether. So they said let's have a debate. So they show up to the debate and he remember hunting for him Allah
doesn't show up. And he's taking his time and people are starting to say, you know, maybe he's scared. Maybe he you know maybe he's maybe he really knows that he can't debate with these people he knows he's gonna lose the debate. Say mama honey for him Allah he shows up like an hour late. And you know the debater on the side of it that he or the atheist, he says, you know, this is clearly a sign of you not knowing what you're going to say today, you clearly don't know how to argue with us on these points. So remember, honey for him a lot. He said, Well, let me explain to you what happened. He said, I had to come across the river bank. And in order to come across the river bank,
I needed a boat or I needed a raft, he said, so when I got there, I realized I don't have one. So I sat there. And I watched and I waited for nature to create me a raft. So I waited for, you know, a few, a few pieces of wood, a few chunks of wood to show up. And then lo and behold, the wind brought them together, and the nails came from the bottom of the surface of the ocean. And they started to nail them together. And he said, you know, by the end of it, and obviously I'm paraphrasing the story. So by the end of it, you know, I was able to sail and get across the river bank and debate you here, but that's why I'm late. So the guy on the other side starts to laugh. He says, you really
expect us to believe that. He said, You people suggest that all of this came from nothing that all of this is a matter of chance and not designed. And you're amazed by the creation of a boat being from nature, Mother Nature. So this is atheist logic, right? And that comes from remember hanifa Rahim Allah. It's one thing to say that, you know, there is no creator. It's another thing to say there is no designer after the creation, but things are so complex, it makes absolutely no sense. So remember, honey, is addressing the simple fact the simple logic that in order for you to be here, there must have been something before you it's like belief in your ancestors. You've never seen
them, but you know that they were there? Because it's by the process of cause and effect. You wouldn't be here without them. Imam Shafi Rahim Allah to Allah He, he came up with a far more deeper answer. And in regards to the design part of it, the design piece, you know, an atheist asked him, How do you know that there's a God? He said, because of the leaf of shujaa to the tooth, which is the mulberry tree. He said, What do you mean? He said, Well, the leaves of these trees have the same taste the same color, the same smell, and the same form, but when the silkworm eats it, it gives silk and when the B eats it, it gives honey and when the sheep eats it, it becomes milk. And when
the gazelle eats it, it becomes musk. So he said, Who could have made this so diverse in regards to his production, if it wasn't a last panel into other than a creator. And then he recited about a colossal high left in the verses with me known that Blessed be Allah, the best of all creators. So it's beautiful when you think about it that Imam Shafi was able to derive that from a simple leaf that there is no way that this that this miracle could have come from anything but a designer, so it's causing effect to know that there was a creator, you don't need physical evidence, you don't need to see it. And then after that, coming to the conclusion that this design is perfect, it's
beautiful. So it only makes it clear. And without the Creator, there would be no creation, there would be no explanation for our existence. What then, of the beautiful signs, the differences in colors and the difference in the diversity of all of the things around us. What then do you make of that?
You know, the very first way that a lost parent actually describes us in the end is Elif Lam mean that he can keep tavolara Buffy hood and Lynn McLean alladhina umina live last pantile 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 hota Allah 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 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 Kibera. The essence of pride as the prophets lie Selim. 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
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 Kavanaugh comes from what kibin 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 reheated
They did not give Allah His do estimation and the amount of a more human like comments on that Hadith from the messenger sly Salaam. 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 Allah subhanaw taala being legislation and judgment. So when you placed 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 VA her 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. I will record a study called the Allahu taala and when 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 a capital Allah He said, you know, Woe to you are you expressing pride with Allah Wakata Raj Domine Maharaja ability but what model attain 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 God and Allah subhana wa tada says, gluteal insulinoma octo may man be destroyed. What was he created from
in the first place? How ungrateful is he? mean ha and Hanukkah what was he created from men NOFA he was created from a dirty drop a fluid hada who fought bhandara 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 them must be like I saw, he made the path easy for you. And I mean, obviously a lot 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 guided you to the straight path. Once he brought you into this world from a matter who fell Kabbalah when Allah wills a lost parent, it 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 lot even takes us earlier than that. Allah says hello to Alan inszone, shaylen, Mina, Deb. Or * Allen and Sony hainault mina Dell 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 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 zookeepers are saying about the animals because I find it quite fascinating. And somehow 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, on a field goalpost three football fields away, the eagle 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 are. And the monster Fianna photo Kamala had a beautiful reflection on that. So if you wanna Jyoti, 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 time in 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 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 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 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 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.
So every time I go to a city, I have someone come up to me, and usually multiple people come up to me and say, you know, I need to talk to you about something privately. I have these thoughts sometimes. And I don't know if I really believe in the last panel in town, and then I have these issues with faith. And is Allah going to punish me because I'm having these thoughts and because I'm having these whispers, and because I'm having these doubts, and the prophets lie, Selim, he puts it puts us at ease by saying to us two things, he says, one that you could be having a conversation, people could be sitting around talking. And they'd be pondering upon the greatness of a Lost Planet,
Allah and saying, you know, Allah created this a lot created that. And then one of them would say, feminine Haleakala so then who created the last panel to add and that's a hadith in Sahih Muslim and the prophet SAW it so and he also said in another Hadith in Sahih, Muslim, that a person might be actually contemplating doing to the Buddha into fact could actually reflecting and contemplating on the creation of Allah Subhana Allah, and feeling this high point and saying, who created this and you would say Allah subhana wa tada and you're admiring the creation of a las panatela. But then shavon comes to you, the devil comes to you and says, feminine holla Allah so then who created a
loss of Hannah to Allah, the Prophet seisen he says in both of these Hadith that when you start to have that thought, when you start to have those whispers of men Haleakala who created a Lost Planet, and he said quickly, say, and then to Billa, I believe in Allah subhanaw taala by doing that, you do away with the thoughts of shaitan by the whispers of shavon, and you reaffirm your faith in Allah subhanho wa Taala. Now, will Allah subhanaw taala punish you for the thoughts that you had and those words that were going through your head and things of that sort? Absolutely not. In fact, there's a very beautiful conversation that took place between the love and bustle the Allahu anhu, and of the
love and also the love. And I'm loving Ahmed, he asked him in a burst he said, What is the ayah in the Quran? Essentially, what's your favorite I am the poor and the ayah that is our Raja is the ayah that gives the most hope to this oma and even amber said, well, what's yours? And even Ahmed he said clear about the alladhina. So for Allah and forcing him to talk about woman Rahmatullah say, Oh, my servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair from the mercy of Allah Subhana Allah, Allah forgives all sins. So even Ahmed is someone you know, when you look through his life as someone that was prone to despair and things of that sort. And so this is something that gives him
hope. And it gives many people hope, knowing that Allah subhanaw taala will forgive all sins. It's been a bustle the Allahu taala. And he responds and he says, As for me, what I see as the ayah, which gives the most hope, is when Ibrahim alayhis salam said to Allah Subhana, Allah to Allah rhombi Allah de we meet, oh my lord who gives life and who gives the death areni kafer to hinomoto Show me how you give life to the dead. now realize Ibrahim Ali Salaam, you know the ayah before it tells us that Ibrahim or Islam was just arguing with nim rude, saying Robby Allah, do you mean that it's my lord who gives life and who gives death? And then Ruth responds and says, He will meet I'm
the one who gives life and who gives that? And Ibrahim alayhis salam says for in the law yet to be Shamsi membership effectively having a mark of the world
Then Allah subhanho wa Taala you know brings the sun from the mothership, he brings the sun from the east, so bring it from the west for bolita la de Kapha. And so Nimrod was left in absolute, you know, he was absolutely stunned why because Nimrods idea of giving life and giving death he brought someone that he was that he had sentenced to death already. And he said you're free to go and then he brought a completely innocent man and he killed him. So he said, I give life and I give death as well. Now, he just put forth a logical argument that clearly a loss of Hannah junta either gives life and gives death in a way that we cannot give life and give death and he gives this example of
how a lob brings the sun from the east so bring it from the west in essence, you know, control the sunrise and lick and control the sunset if you really feel like you're in control. But Ibrahim Ali Salaam still asked the loss of Hannah hota Allah areni take her to heal Mota Show me how you give life to the dead. Now Allah subhanho wa Taala said LLM treatment will you not believe Pilar? Bella, were lacking the Optima in Appleby. He said I fully believe, but this would put my heart to rest. And Allah subhanaw taala actually honored the request of Ibrahim on Islam by telling him to take birds and to put them into pieces and put them on different mountains and Allah Subhana Horta, Allah
would bring them back together. Now I'm an ambassador, Lila, and why does he say that that I is the ayah that gives the most hope that that is really his favorite. Because as soon as possible lahardee was solemn. He commented on that idea by saying, No, no, I have to be Shakyamuni Ebrahim. We have more right to doubt than Ibrahim alayhis salam. Now is this Hadith of the messenger? So I said I'm suggesting that Ibrahim and Islam had a doubt in the last panel to Allah that he doubted alone anyway, no, because Ibrahim said that I believe, but the ultimate in Nickleby this would increase my email and this would increase my faith if you showed me how you do it. Oh Allah. And so the prophets
lie Selim is telling us as Ibrahim Ali Islam asked Allah subhana wa tada for that. And Ibrahim I Islam wanted his heart to be put at ease. We also as human beings, at times want to be put at ease. And you know we have these whispers and we have these doubts and the loss of Hannah hoods Allah will not punish us for those whispers Allah Subhana. Allah will not punish us for internal conversations or internal dialogues. The prophets why Selim, he said that Allah has forgiven my own my head this has to be enforced. Madam Taku will be as long as that person has only spoken to himself meaning you're having these internal whispers, but you haven't spoken of them or acted upon them. Don't
worry, a loss of contact is not going to punish you. These are whispers clearly from the shape on to take you away from Allah subhanho wa Taala. Now going back to the request of Ibrahim Isilon, does that mean that there is logic provided for every ruling in the shut er for every story for every incident? Can we find a logical explanation? No, absolutely not. You use your aka in Islam, you use your intellect to arrive at the integrity of the knuckle to arrive at the integrity of the text. So I know anything that comes from Allah and His Messenger sallallahu wasallam is absolute truth, even if my logic doesn't agree with it. However, if I find the proof of it, and that's that's the beauty
of studying and the beauty of seeking knowledge, in an actual law, about the literal amount, those who have a greater all of Allah Subhana Allah to Allah are those who are learned why because by studying the proofs, and by studying the evidences, and by studying context, your faith increases because almost everything does have a logical explanation to it. But even when it doesn't, I know I've used my intellect I've used my ockel to arrive at the conclusion that there is no way that the Quran and the Sunnah are not divine. And so by doing so, that puts me at ease with everything that comes after that. And so you find a regular study for the Allahu taala. And when the Prophet Solo is
on him, he took his night and journey, the journey of Allah slotland mirage. And obviously the prophets lie Selim when he wakes up and he tells the people that he was taken from Mecca to Jerusalem through the heavens, Abu gehele, mark the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and he called the people and he said, Can you repeat what you just said in front of the people? And even some of the Muslims were shaken by that? How can the prophets lie Selim? How can a man be taken from Mecca to Jerusalem to the heavens and back all in one night? So a man comes double record on the Allahu taala? And when he says, Do you hear what Mohammed salatu salam said, and I will back it on the
Allahu taala. And who he responds by saying, if he said it for cod sadhak. Then he's telling the truth. If he said it, then he's telling the truth. And I will record it says, Look, I believe him when he says that something happens to him that's far greater than that. You know, what's greater than him going from Mecca to Jerusalem into the heavens in one night, is that revelation comes to him from the Lord of the heavens. Revelation descends upon him from above the heavens all the way to his hearts a lot harder. He was solemn. So I believe him with something far greater than that. Why wouldn't I believe
Leave him when he tells me that he that Allah subhana wa took him from Mecca to Jerusalem, to the heavens and back in one night, and I will record on the line what he's what he's showing us here. Rebecca did not say, Well, I'm going to need to see proof of what the prophets lysozyme saw on the way. You know, if the prophets lie, some can describe some things between Mecca and Jerusalem, then maybe I'll be convinced, no, I'll be back. It'll be a lot and who said, Look, I know that this man is a prophet of Allah. I know that this man receives revelations relies on them. So I believe him with whatever he says. Now, does that mean when the prophets lie, Selim accurately describes the
things that he seen between Mecca and Jerusalem to the extent that he will tell you sallallahu wasallam, about a people and where their water was, that were, you know, on the way from Mecca to Jerusalem that no one would have known unless they were there because they didn't have text messages back then. Does that not increase the faith of a person? When the Prophet slicin them does that when the prophets lie Selim accurately explains these things? Of course it does. Of course it does. But I don't need that to believe in it in the first place, but it will increase my email. And that's what Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam was asking. So it takes us to the next step a lot. So just as in the Quran,
seminary him a Latina fill FLP and forcing him had tired of being alone, and that we will show them our signs in the universe, and even within themselves, right in the farthest horizons all the way to themselves, had to intervene and allow him and hold him back until it shows to them until it's made clear to them. That it is the truth that this is the truth from Allah subhana wa Tada. So Allah is telling us, look, I'm giving you all of these signs, all of these proofs, in the deep horizons, and even within the creation of yourself that there's no way that a being like you could exist without a loss pentameter. until it is made clear to you that this is the truth. Once you once you have found
that truth, there's the pursuit of truth. And then there's the pursuit of meaning. And most people spend their lives trying to find the truth. And so they never even get to the the meaning and the purpose of life. And what are we supposed to be doing here and so on so forth. As believers as Muslims, we've already arrived at the truth, we already know that this is the truth. So now the entire journey of life becomes finding the meaning and even atheists, you know, I always say this, that, that when you're debating with an atheist, or you're speaking to an atheist, by the end of the conversation, there'll be an agnostic, right? They'll start off by saying, there is no God. But then
when you put forth all the proofs, they'll say, well, there might be a god. Or I can see how there would be some divine energy or some God. But you know, I, I don't think that there's any religion or any, any guidance, or, you know, we're just left to be and we're not sure and so on, so forth. So could all of this, you know, the answer to that could would simply be, could all of this simply be without meaning? Do you really think Allah subhanaw taala create that if there is a God if you're convinced that there's some kind of divine energy and something that brought us here? Because it clearly is? Would you really say that all of this is for nothing, that there is no meaning to it,
that there is no purpose to it whatsoever? And Allah subhanho wa Taala says in the Quran, that we did not create anything without purpose, a lot didn't create anything and everything was created for meaning and purpose. And so for the believer, the journey now becomes a journey of purpose and meaning.
Does it all start, Allah, nothing else? The prophets lie Selim, he says, Can en la, Wladimir Kumara Hussain, first there was a lot and there was absolutely nothing else. You know, no, no throne, no pen, no water, no clouds, no skies, no nothing. And abora Xen, there's no authentication in the incident. Timothy were about a scene he asked the Prophet slicin. He says, well, where was a loss of Hannah Montana? You know, before all of this and the prophets lie Selim says can if you're not attached to who, how when I fell pahoehoe there was no air beneath him, no air above him. It was just a loss of Hannah which Allah and you think about that, and how amazing that is. And actually,
there's a sign in that where the prophets lie Selim, he basically tells us that there is nothing but a lot that's worth it. Creation needs a loss of management and nothing else, because in the beginning, there was a law and there was nothing else. And so the prophets lie Selim, he says, that the US debating Karla, who she shared, he said that the most truthful poem that a poet has ever spoken, and kulu Satan holla La Belle tillu that rarely everything but Allah subhanho wa Taala is disposable, because it was just a lot and nothing else. Now a lot of times you know, what, what abodo Xen what the Allahu taala and who was doing when he asked the Prophet so I sent him that and
what we do, at times when we when we see various ahaadeeth, where Allah is described, we try to limit Allah subhanho to Allah by our human dimension. So for example, Allah Subhana Allah to Allah descends in the last third of the night, and he asks Helman was stuck in Africa, the very famous Hadith Is there anyone seeking forgiveness? So I may forgive him? Is there anyone calling upon me so that I may answer him and we start to think to ourselves well, wait a minute.
The last third of the night here is different from the last third of the night there. And so how is Allah subhanho? wa Taala? Hearing everyone? And how is the loss of Hannah to Allah? You know, how does he judge? What's the last third of the night? And what about later to the other? And how does that all work? The problem is you're limiting a loss of power to add about your human dimensions of loss not subject to your time, Allah created time. So when you say 10, Allah really hear everyone's prayers, right? I mean, on the day of alpha, think about that momentous occasion of alpha, you've got millions of people in one location, all calling upon Allah Subhana Allah to Allah in different
languages. And Allah subhanho wa Taala, is hearing each and every single one of their prayers. Why? Because that's Allah subhanho wa Taala. He is He is the creator of time subhanho to Allah, so he's not subject to our dimensions of time. He's not subject to our human dimensions of anything. And that's why they're not the scholars, they have a very important principle that they say kulu mahapatra evatik Allahu Allah is Alec every time you think of Allah, Subhana Allah, anything that comes to your head in terms of an image or in terms of, you know, in terms of trying to assign a human quality Allah who basically Daffy Duck just know that a lot is different from what you just
imagined. You're not going to be able to do it you won't be able to actually grasp a loss of hanahan to Allah because Allah subhanho wa Taala cannot be grasped by our human minds. So the prophets lie Selim, he makes a beautiful day.
On the basis of this kind of low enemy, I couldn't matter who say that first it was Allah and there was nothing but Allah subhana wa tada the prophets lie Selim. He taught us to say a llama until a willow Felisa publica she, Oh Allah, you are the first and so, there is nothing before you what until to Felice avec de cache and you are the last and so there is nothing after you. What until VA hero Felisa fell Kakashi and you are the manifest the apparent and so nothing is above you well, until valtellina Felisa doing Akashi, but at the same time, you are the hidden and so nothing is beyond you. And so the prophets lie Selim, what he what he's teaching us here is that Allah subhanho
wa Taala is the first, but he's also the last and Allah subhanaw. taala is the manifest but he's also the hidden and that's why you have the very famous, the very famous AI and swittel Hadid, which actually, you know, combines these names together were last palletizers who will Oh well, well, if you want VA hero, while Belton well, who will be khalifate nanny that he is the first and the last and the presence of the letter Wow, here they're in amount the scholars they say that what a lot is telling us is that he's the first despite being the last, he is the manifest despite being the hidden at the same time. And so when you get this presence of or when you get this idea of Allah
subhanho wa Taala being you know, so mighty one of the last pantai being the Almighty and being the king and Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, you know, being all of these things that he describes himself with, you might start to think that a loss of monetized disconnected like a king is usually disconnected from the lowest subjects a king usually is doesn't really know what's going on except by what he's informed with. So Allah subhanho wa Taala, right after he describes himself and he describes the creation of the heavens and the earth and he describes the creation of the throne and he describes all of these things. Allah subhanaw taala says, But listen, yeah, let mama le to fill
out of the womb a little microdomain. Allah is so aware that he knows what goes into the earth and what comes out of it. He knows everything. Right? Now the prophets lie Selim, he also taught us and there are many names that that we can take from this beautiful Hadith of the prophets lie Selim here and many attributes the prophets lie Selim, he also taught us to call upon a lot with his greatest name is smola allow them the Greatest Name of Allah Subhana Allah to Allah and the Prophet so I sent him he didn't share what that name was, but he said some Allah Hardy was solemn, that the Greatest Name of Allah subhanho wa Taala is found in sort of Bukhara, it's found in fluids Addy Emraan, and
it's found in sort of Baja, okay, and sort of Baja. So the first one what we can take from that Allahu La Ilaha Illa who allow us to our last pantalla in the greatest area and sort of buckler the greatest I have the poor analyst Pankaj says Allah there is no god besides Him and hi Alka yom the ever living and the ever sustaining that same name is found in the beginning of sorts Alia and Milan, Allahu la isla Hola Hola, hi okay you once again the ever living the ever sustaining. And then in Surah baja Allah subhana wa tada says, What Anadolu little higher than that, that everything, parishes that the faces are that everything, parishes and everything is presented to a
high, alpha young once again, the every living and the ever sustaining, and what the reader might say are so powerful about those two names. Number one, all of the data that's here which are the the attributes that describe the essence of Allah subhanaw taala they all come from his being alight from his being ever living and all of the secrets and fairly all of the the
attributes that describe the actions of last pantalla come from his being LTU which is ever sustaining. Because usually what you think of a person you know or if you think of a human being, as they get older, they start to become less capable but Allah subhanho wa Taala never is rendered incapable Allah is Ever living He always was he always is he always will be an Allah Subhana Allah to Allah is always a human he's always in control Allah Subhana Allah to Allah does not age Allah subhana wa tada does not become incapable. Learn who the who sinner to and well I know Allah Subhana Allah never becomes tired, never you know has to take a nap never becomes drowsy. Allah is always in
control. So will hi he is the every living and all life is derived from him. Subhana Allah to Allah, Alka yom, he is always sustaining, and everything can and anything, and everything will only be sustained by him Subhana Allah to Allah can Allah when a miracle, who shakes so it just starts off with that it was a law, and there was absolutely nothing else. It was the infinity and then everything finites came after that. It was the one who needs no cause. And then everything that needs a cause that is created comes after that. We ask Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, may Allah Subhana Allah, Allah allow us to derive to have eternal life, on the Day of Judgment alone.
So the prophets I send them he tells us first there was a law and there was nothing else. Then Allah Subhana, which Allah created, and then he created the throne. And you know, you have to understand we're talking about the throne, we're talking about the throne now being created independent of any angels that carry it independent of the heavens and the earth, independent of anything that comes under it. Allah subhanho wa Taala created the throne. Now everything that we've spoken about in regards to the universe in regards to the galaxies in regards to the the trillions of stars and the trillions of planets, and so on, so forth, all of that comes under a summer dounia the first heaven
well, so the last place and I'm the Prophet sly son, he actually tells us that the comparison of this heaven to the next heaven is like a ring in the desert. So everything that we've spoken about that as much who the all of that is just one Heaven, everything. All of that comes under one Iran ring in comparison to the heaven that is above it. Then the prophets lie Selim said that heaven compared to the one above it is also like a ring in the desert and that heaven compared to the one above it is also like a ring in a desert until the prophets lie Selim got to the seventh heaven. And he said that heaven in comparison to courtesy courtesy is the footstool, which are either going to
debate on the low tide and who said is like a stair to the outer is like a stair to the throne, that all of these heavens compared to the kursi is like a ring in the desert and the prophets lie some of them said the codici compared to the throne compared to the otters is like a ring in the desert. And Allah subhanho to Allah is above his throne and even Masaru little the Allahu anhu as he's telling us about the different degrees and how far the different heavens are from each. The one that comes before it had been Miss ruled all the Allahu anhu says And Allah is above his throne, but nothing is hidden from him. And that's the beauty of it is that even in ayatul kursi in the verse of the foot
the footstool, which is the greatest verse in the Quran, Allah subhanho wa Taala before he mentioned Allah kursi was the accuracy who somehow it will out that his footstool encompasses the heavens and the earth. Allah subhanho to Allah mentions his knowledge, okay, a lot as originally mentioned, that he has full knowledge of everything that takes place in the heavens in the earth. Absolutely nothing from what takes place within his creation, escapes the knowledge of Allah subhanho to Allah and His kursi alone. The footstool alone has all of the heavens and the earth under it. Now even Ambassador a lot of time I know he comments on that. And he says that just you know if the codici the footstool
encompasses the entire Heavens and the entire Earth. Then what about the outhouse? What about the throne? So we have absolutely no indication of how great inside the throne is. And obviously Even then, you cannot compare the throne or try to make estimations then of the size and assign it to a loss of hundreds because they sit committee say there's nothing like a loss of manhood to either an amendment or to be Rahim Allah. He says that Allah as Joel mentioned himself many times in the Quran as the Lord of the glorious storm noble option Majeed or Rob will absolutely love him. Because it is the first and most magnificent of his creation and all of the creation is under it. And it's amazing
because when Allah subhana wa tada tells us about this beautiful creation and when he tells us about his rising above the throne in sorbitol, Hadid immediately after our last parents are telling us that he's that he rose above his phone he says yeah, Lama le to fill out of the womb if Raja minha one zero min Asana, Mr. Raja that Allah azza wa jal knows everything that goes in and out of the earth, everything that falls from the sky and everything that's produced from the skies. Allah subhanho wa Taala knows the slightest details of this world. So do not think that
Loss of hundreds Allah is distant, rather a loss of penance artists as well who American inner quantum he's with you, wherever you may be. And this is something that Allah subhanho wa Taala stresses throughout the poor and that Allah subhanho wa Taala is with you wherever you may be. And how does Eliza gel explain that? That he is being attacked by Luna bossy that he sees everything that he hears everything right? He tells mostly his salon and how Ronnie his salon in the miracle no matter what era that I'm still with you I hear and I see everything that goes on my knowledge encompasses everything. And this is a beautiful effect that we have in the Quran and the Sunnah of
the Prophet sly Salaam, that as every time a las panatela mentions his majesty or he mentions his knowledge, you know, he mentions his greatness upon Allah to Allah in a way that that might create this image of distance Allah subhanho wa Taala brings it back to us. So for example, I lost palletizers I mean to Memphis center, and yes, if I become a, d, are you? Do you feel a sense of security? Are you really certain that the one above will not sink you from the earth from from beneath you, meaning Allah subhanho to Allah is fully in control. Likewise, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam when he was with Abu Bakr to decode the Allahu anhu in that little cave and without
a thought, what does he tell Beckett or the Allahu taala? And he says to him, what do you say of three and Allah subhanho wa Taala is the third of them Allah so Jed is with us Do not be afraid that he has an in Allah Nana don't grieve a lot is surely with us. So just as we acknowledge the greatness of Allah subhanho wa Taala, we realized that this that the King of all kings is not disconnected even from the poorest of his servants, the prophets I sent him he even wanted us to have this idea when we're making them. He said some a lot of articles tell them that Alfa dos is the highest level of gender. And above alpha dos directly above alpha dos is the throne of Orion and
also run on the rivers of Paradise flow from it. So can you imagine some handle of the rivers of Paradise are flowing from the throne? And he said when you ask Allah Subhana, Allah to Allah don't just ask Allah for Jin asked him for alpha dose, that degree of Paradise that is directly under his throne, where the rivers of Paradise flow from. It's also the greatest station on the Day of Judgment. The prophets lie Selim told us about seven people who are shaded under the throne of Allah subhanho wa Taala, when there is no shade except for his, he told a subtle isonem that when he rises up, he would rush to the throne, and he would see musalla his Salaam already clinging to one of the
pillars of the throne. So it's the greatest station in paradise. It's the greatest station on the Day of Judgment. And amongst the greatest angels are those that carry the throne, we you know, we frequently mentioned them in our Diaz, Allah subhanaw taala talks about how Allah tala out of those great angels that carry the throne, and they are for now and on the Day of Judgment, Allah subhanaw taala tells us they will be eight and these are huge, magnificent creatures from the best of Allah subhanaw taala angels, but even then, what are those angels doing? They're making to speak of, or whatnot, they're glorifying the last panel to Allah, they're declaring the perfection of Allah, to
show that Allah subhanho to Allah is independent of the throne. Allah is independent of those that bear the throne a lot doesn't need the throne. Allah doesn't need those that bear the throne. They're constantly glorifying him and declaring his perfection, because that's how we understand the loss of Hannah hota Allah because before the throne, there was just a law and the mathematical human law, he really gives us our creed. He gives us a methodology to understand theology and to understand our creed. When he was asked by a man and this is a very famous statement, he was asked by men, how did Allah rise above his throne? How do we understand this as believers? How did Allah
rise above his stone? Any mathematical him Allah, he started to sweat, he started to shake. You know, he was really afraid of answering that question. But he gave one of the most beautiful answers and perhaps it was because of his taqwa was because of his fear of Allah Subhana Allah and possibly saying something wrong about Allah that Allah azza wa jal inspired Mr. Malik to give a statement that would become a headliner that would become a model for the people of sin. The people who believe in the prophets lie Selim and believe in Allah subhanho wa Taala. And and and do not assign human dimensions to Allah subhana wa tada Imam Malik Rahim Allah, He said that str or mcaloon,
meaning Allah as you know are rising. And str in the Arabic language is known. We know what it means to rise, he says but I'll cave How is ladle medical is beyond our comprehension. We have no idea what it you know how Allah subhanaw taala rises above his throne. We don't assign any human dimensions we realize that Allah subhanaw taala is independent of our dimensions. He says, what a man who he was, but to believe in it is mandatory. And to ask about it is bizarre to ask about his innovation. So we know Allah subhanaw taala rose above his throne.
We don't, we don't try to assign our dimensions to it. We don't imagine things we don't try to comprehend it. We simply believe in it as Allah Subhana horchata gave it to us. And instead, what we concern ourselves with is really the beneficial things that we can take from it the lessons and that's the point. And so the prophets lie Selim, what did he tell us? He said that one last a patent Hunter, Allah completed his creation. He wrote with himself upon the throne, in rationality, sub protocol, that verily My Mercy overtakes and supersedes my anger, that is what is prescribed on the throne of Allah subhanho to Allah, His mercy is greater than his anger.
So what is the benefit of knowing how great the throne is and how far away it is and how great the heavens are and things of that sort? You might not remember him Allah he was asked this question, how far is the altar of Allah from us? How far is the throne from us? And he responded with such a beautiful and profound answer. He said, a sincere, sincere supplication from a pure heart, meaning you can call upon him despite him being the Lord of the Throne. It's not like he's distant from you, and you can't call upon him. And so there are many doodads that indicate that we supplicate to Allah subhanho wa Taala on the basis of the greatness of the throne and on the basis of the greatness of
the Lord of the Throne. And this is something that that's that's beautiful about the Arabic language and also the poor and you know, environment. Kathy Rahim Allah He said, if you look at the ayah, the absolute Majeed which means the possessor of the great throne, the outer sigma jeans, the outer sigma g d, would mean that the throne itself is great. So it would translate into the possessor of the mighty throne. The outer shell Maji do would mean the possessor of the throne, the Almighty and he said, both meanings are correct. And so we find some supplications that indicates to us the greatness of the throne and the bears of the throne, and then some supplications we call upon the
Lord of the Throne. So with the greatness of the throne, there's a very beautiful story that the prophets lie Selim. One time he left Judea all the a lot of time on his wife, and she was making throughout throughout the morning, and he came back after some time, and he said, How long have you been in the state? And she said all morning, he said, I've said a deer I have a supplication that is equivalent to everything that you've done this entire morning. So hon Allah He will be handy either the holiday he worried about NFC he was Xena to outdoorsy he won't be the Kelly Mati. So the prophets lie Selim said that saying that supplication three times equals the entire morning of
praise. And so you glorify Allah Subhana Allah He will be humbly you glorify a lot and you praise Him, either the Hulk he in accordance with, you know, as many of his creation as they are, as there are, what Ilan FC and as much as he's pleased with was Xena Tao, Toshi, and in accordance with the weight of his throne, so the weight of his throne, the vast weight of his throne, is being illustrated in his in this chart here of the Prophet slicin. And we also see that the prophets lie Selim taught us to say four times in the morning and in the evening allama in the us back to oshi Duke and in the evening MC to okeydoke. So Oh Allah, I have a woken calling into witness calling you
to witness what was he to Hamlet Alec and I'm calling upon the bearers of your throne to witness when Allah Ecotec and all of the angels what Jamia halted and all of your creation and Nikita into law, that you are Allah, there is no god besides you and so on so forth until the end of the draft. So here, particularly the prophets lie Selim, was was calling to witness the bearers of the throne. The prophet SAW Selim said that whoever says that there are four times in the morning and four times in the evening he would be spared from hellfire. So we find there as I mentioned, the greatness of the throne, the greatness of the bears of the throne, but obviously there is none that's greater
than the Lord of the Throne. And Allah subhanho wa Taala is called by the Lord of many things right, the Lord of the heavens in the earth, the Lord of the lord of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam, hiatal headcollar, the best of the last creation, right? Now, what I noticed is that the drops where you have the Lord of the Throne Arambula are being, you know, being invoked. All come under a category of warding warding off the harm of an enemy, or warding off an illness or doing away with something that's harmful. So a lot tells us in the code for Intel alphacool has to be Allahu La Ilaha Illa who la Hito I tell to a horrible thing, that if they turn away from you then say has to
be Allahu Allah, Allah Allahu Allah is sufficient for me and there is no god besides him, I lay he toa Celt, I have put my trust in him. Well, who Arambula Sheila Lim and He is the Lord of the of the mighty throne, even above, so that's warding off the harm of an enemy than an enemy cannot hurt you. And that's a famous darat was the driver brought him at his salon when Mr. Hema Islam was thrown into the fire and look how Allah subhanaw taala answered Ibrahim, it has set up even Ambassador de la I know he in fact he tells us that any time
The profits Iceland was in trouble or the profit slice of them was in distress. He used to say this drought and this Hadeeth is in Sahih. Muslim. He used to say la ilaha illAllah Hola, Avi Mulholland La ilaha illAllah horrible. la de la ilaha illAllah, horrible, horrible, all the horrible I'm still carrying, that there is no god besides Allah, Allah, alim and haleem. Okay, so the Almighty and the forbearing La ilaha illAllah Arambula chahatein. And then you testify, you bear witness to the oneness of Allah, the Lord of the mighty throne, La Ilaha, Illallah, Abu senapati, or Abu out of the horrible option caring. And so you say La la la la once again the Lord of the heavens, the Lord of
the earth, and the Lord of the noble throne. So this is the draft that the Prophet slicin taught us to say, in our times of distress and sadness, or when we're in trouble. Two out of those four phrases include once again invoking the Lord of the Throne. And even when we're feeling when we see someone who's in sickness when we see someone who has an illness, the way to properly to make their app for them to read Rokia upon them. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to say us Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah Azza wa Lim and ESV that I asked Allah the Almighty, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, the Lord of the mighty throne, to cure you. So all of these drugs again come under
this category of warding warding off evil, and harm because a lot being the Lord of the Throne means He is the Lord of all of creation. And so as you call upon him as the Lord of the Throne, you are calling upon him putting your trust in him knowing that he is in charge of everything that takes place amongst his creation and so he can protect you from the harm of any one of his creation. And we asked last panel to Allah The Lord of the Throne to protect us alone me.
Allah subhanaw taala tells us and sort of the author alladhina Yanni Luna outershell woman hola who you said be hoonah be Hamdi Robbie him what you mean wanna be he will still be Runa Lila Dena Amano. robina was Sarah coolessay environment and we're Elma fiddly Latina turbo Waterbury Sevilla watty him a double Jane in this beautiful Ayah which is verse seven and of sort of profit or loss of hundreds, Allah tells us that those angels who bear the throne of Allah, and those around it that are glorifying the praises of their Lord, and they believe in him and they ask forgiveness for those who believe so they make do out for those who believe saying, Our Lord, you comprehends all things
you encompass all things in mercy and knowledge. So forgive those who have repented and follow your way and protect them from the torment of the Fire. So how beautiful is it that Allah Subhana Allah already inscribed upon his throne, that his, that his mercy is greater than his anger on top of that those angels that are bearing the throne are also seeking forgiveness from Allah subhanaw taala for you, and asking a lot of show mercy to you and protect you from the fire. You know, in that is a beautiful sign that Allah subhanho wa Taala, though he created these angels that bear the throne that Allah Subhana Allah to Allah has created you to show mercy upon you and to forgive you because
Allah is the one who's making the angels seek forgiveness for you, and ask Allah to forgive you. And some of the scholars they actually made a connection. They said that the reward of that the reward of that supplication, where you're calling to witness for you, the bearers of the throne, and the other creation of a last panel to Allah is protection from hellfire. And so those angels are responding and they're actually making their act to Allah Subhana Allah Oh ALLAH forgive them, Allah have mercy upon them, Oh Allah, you know, protect them from Hellfire and so on, so forth. And so how incredible is it, that your name would actually be mentioned at the throne of Allah Subhana Allah to
Allah that you're doing is that your supplications that your remembrances that your victim is all reaching Allah subhanho wa Taala. And it could be a simple, you know, they could a simple form of remember, it's, it could be a supplication. There's a very beautiful, or very beautiful Hadith from Abu Hodeidah, although the Allahu taala and who that the prophets lie, some said no one says La ilaha illAllah if you just say la ilaha illAllah and of course, La ilaha illa Allah is the best form of wicked. The prophets lie Some said no one says La ilaha illAllah sincerely without committing major sins, except that when he says it, the gates of the heavens are opened until it reaches the
throne of Allah subhanho wa Taala. He also said some Allah Hardy, he was seldom in another authentic hadith and another authentic narration that you're Subhana Allah La ilaha illAllah Alhamdulillah Allah Akbar, so you're here to live. I mean, look at all of these forms of wicked. When you save them, they go up to Allah subhanho wa Taala and they revolve around the throne buzzing like bees, reminding of the one who said it. And the prophets lysozyme says Emma, you had to come and your cornella home and you wake up wouldn't any one of you like to have something that reminds or that makes mention of him at the throne of a loss of Hannah who it's at. So just if you take a moment say
so pound Allah Alhamdulillah Allah has
Allah Allahu Akbar, those things have reached the throne of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And your name is being mentioned, as the one who has said those beautiful statements. And so you have the good mentions, and you also have the bad mentioned. And so we have to be very careful from having our name mentioned in a negative way. And there's one particular Hadith where the Prophet sallallahu wasallam says, Al Rahim, Allah khatoun blousy, that Verily, the ties of kinship are suspended from the throne of Allah subhanho to Allah to pull men while salani masala hula woman Kalani, Qatar hula, and they say he he who keeps ties with me. Allah would keep ties with him and he who severed me a
lot with several him. So you don't want to have a negative mentioned there. You want to have a positive mentioned there and this is something you know this hadith shows us the great importance of maintaining our family relations. As the prophets I seldom said that when the deeds are presented to Allah subhanho into Allah. When he when he sees the books of two people that are quarreling two brothers or two sisters that are arguing. Allah says unbelievable how they had to study hard leave these two until they reconcile until they make up or until they correct that which is between them. So make the kids make their and you'll know that your name is being mentioned in the presence of the
Lord of the Throne. Subhana Allah what hamdulillah y la isla de la la la haka.
