00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			The
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:24
			as we are ending our program Sharla today I've thought that week for the soul of the Quran, we're
going to end with the first surah that was sent down onto the Prophet sallallaahu Selim or at least
part of that soil, and that is Surah number 96 which is Surah Al Allah,
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:45
			which you are all aware of, which begins with a Koran this mirrabooka lady Holla Holla Pauline son
Amina Allah, recite or read in the name of your Lord, who has created, he created the human from
Allah.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:01:06
			And this surah is called Allah, Allah, and the law saying that he created the human from Allah, what
is Allah? Well, there are a number of meanings for the word Allah, which are all compounded
together, so they're not contradictory, they all have the same implication, the first meaning of
Allah which means a blood clot,
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:13
			a blood clot, which blood when you know, as it clots, it has this kind of
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:22
			very fluid rubbery kind of texture, and that is called or it is named ilok.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			Secondly, the other meaning of ilok, which is the word Allah,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			as known by the,
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:49
			in the Arabic language, which is the name for a leech, that animal that looks like a small slug or a
worm, and it has prongs teeth, and it sticks to
		
00:01:51 --> 00:02:14
			assume not just humans, also animals, and it will start to stick to them, it clings on to them and
sucks the blood. So it's a form of external parasite. This is also called Allah Khan. And thirdly,
the word Allah. In its very word, which is where the where the leech takes its name from is it means
clinging, something to cling on.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:03:02
			And when you look at all these meanings of this word, you find that almost hearted is talking about
the human as a form of Allah, created from Allah, you see that all of these panels, they all form
together, they all formula together, they all have the same implication. Because first of all, the
human when Allah Subhana, Allah creates the human in the moon of his mother, then he does have a
shape like a leech. As the human embryo develops, it starts off looking very much like a leech. And
this is something that has been shown with modern science with us a modern, it's been about 100
years through the invention of the microscope and being able to see the fetus this very small
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:20
			embryo. So even before it's become a fetus, very small embryo, it shows that actually looks like
this Allah. Secondly, it is also a blood clot, because that's the beginning of that creation is
related to congealed blood,
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:57
			which is not like one would think is actually a sign of illness or sign or have some injury, but
it's actually here, it's about the beginning of life. And lastly, the meaning of aliquot has to
cling on also, that is the nature of the embryo. And the embryo does cling on to the mother's womb.
And that's how it gets its nutrition. It is sucking, so not only does it look like a leech, but it's
also behaving like a leech it is feeding off the mother.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:08
			And in a very positive way, because the mother actually is happy for her child to be nurturing and
being nourished by her.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:32
			And what is more profound, is that the human not only behaves like a leech inside the womb, but also
outside the womb as well. And that is probably the bigger meaning of the word Allah relating to how
we link to the dunya because the human in regards to the dunya
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:46
			is very much like a leech. First of all, he clings on to the dunya the human always wants to stay on
the dunya clinging on doesn't want to leave the dunya hates death doesn't want to die doesn't want
to
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:59
			think about losing the different material gains that he has, so he's very much clinging on.
Secondly, the human is also allegiance to in terms of that being a parent
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:36
			sights, taking off the goodnesses and I mean a human as a as a as a race you can see that as well
you know we are taking from the earth we are taking and consuming and you know working the earth as
as similar to a parasite would behave. So was the word I loved might seem like is describing the
embryo but it's not just the embryo is the whole insan Holly Hello Colleen Santa min Allah. So the
whole in the sun is behaving in that way. And that in itself is a lesson for us that when we
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:58
			think about our realities, think about our nature, think about where we are heading, we have to
learn to stop acting like leeches, and stop clinging on to the dunya stop just taking but rather
giving. And therefore we can actually become
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:40
			the enhanced form of what insan should be, which Allah mentions in the surah before luck either hi
lakanal in Santa Fe as any tough when we have created the human in the best forms. So we can between
being a best of forms and between being an Allah. There are many levels, many, many stages. You have
to work hard to make sure that you are working towards the best of states best of statures best of
conditions in your spiritual behavior you're allowed to a morals etc.
