Riyadh Walls – Maghrib Talk 13-08-2024

So, actually, 3 places.

This event,

this hawar,

this hadith,

this conversation

is taking place

in 3 places in the Quran.

The first one was Surah Al Saad.

I'll give you the verses.

So starting with verse number 75,

76

and

77

for this 75 and 76

and then so to Hijal,

which is

32

and 33.

75, 76.

303334,

and then

verse number 12 and number 30.

Verse number 12.

I've got verse number 11

and verse number 12.

So in these 3 places the same event

to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

and this is this goes

for most of the stories of the prophets

in the Quran,

where the stories are told piecemeal,

and often the same event

is repeated,

but with a slight difference.

A little bit of detail here

and more comprehensive there.

And as we find in tafsirur Quran in

the Quran,

that which is made comprehensive in one part

of the Quran is

explained in more detail

in another part of the Quran.

So without repeating anything that we spoke about

last night,

I want to go

I want to go back

to Surat Asad,

and I want to take it from

from verse number 76.

So as salamu alaykum wa ta'ala is asking,

Is it because of your pride? Are you

looking down on others? What is kibbut?

It's to reject the truth when it is

told you, but kibri forces you to look

down on others. In fact,

what is the father of kibri? Of pride?

His 'Ojib is vanity.

And Ojib, Abu al Kibri.

Vanity is the father of pride.

Vanity is when a person takes it onto

themselves,

but

it doesn't necessitate pride because a person can

be on a deserted island

and they can think a lot of themselves

whether it's their looks,

or their strength,

or their wealth,

or their status,

or their

education,

or their tribe, or their nation,

they can think a lot of themselves, on

a deserted island, with nobody else around,

but as soon as you put that person

in a society, and they start comparing themselves

to others,

then their object, that vanity turns to pride,

and they start looking down upon others.

So Allah SWARTA is asking Ibelis,

Is

it because

of your pride? Are you looking down? Are

you thinking a lot of yourself and looking

down on Adam?

You know of the Italian inscription of Adam?

Fa'alaf Anahu ajluf.

So he discovered that he was Muslim,

Fa'alaf Anhu layatamalik

and realized

this is a creation that cannot keep desire

at bay.

So, after His inspection of our father, before

life was blown into Him, when He was

just a hallowed clay shell,

salsa and purfahkar,

potter's clay, sounding clay,

of inspecting

our Father before life was blown into Him,

did He

now make a comparison

between himself

and Adam? And because of his vanity, because

of thinking a lot of himself,

was he now looking down upon our father?

And for that reason he refused when Allah

commanded him?

When he was worshiping Allah in the assembly

of Al Balakatibukarabeel,

the

archangels and those angels

of the most highest ranking angels,

He was in there assembly, and they all

prostrated and he refused?

Was it because of that pride?

Like Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,

You cannot cleave the earth.

That's why we must walk like,

Honan.

And the servants of the Most Merciful,

they walk on the earth gently.

They don't

stop with their feet because they go.

They walk on the earth

janky.

And you said our beloved Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi

Wasallam, he used to walk upright but as

if he was walking uphill,

so with a slight incline.

Nobility

with humility.

Okay, so layman, it's a difficult one

to combine,

Nobility with humility.

That was our beloved Prophet

He was noble, at the same time he

was humble. He didn't stop on the earth,

He walked gently on the earth with nobility

and with humility. He

cannot cleave the earth, meaning no matter how

hard you stop, we can't cleave the earth.

Can you reach the heights of the mountains,

no matter how high we stick our noses

up in the air.

In the other verse

don't walk in the earth instantly,

you know.

With a Kabiri filled with pride.

Allah loves not the Allah

loves not the person who thinks a lot

of themselves, and then as a result looks

down on other people.

So Iblis is setting himself up for disaster

here. Number 1 with his vanity,

and now when comparing himself to Adam, he

is now filled

with pride and he's looking down,

he's looking down on our father Adam.

Kutaminalalim!

Or,

have

you elevated yourself to a position

whereby you feel

that you can

disregard and disobey

Literally disregard because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says

in the Ayam Suratul Baqarah, Abba,

He refused.

He refused what?

He refused to obey Allah's command.

So there's a difference between

Abba and Istigbar.

Istigbar is the pride that he felt

in his heart

that he's better than Adam

and therefore he's looking down on Adam

but other to refuse

the Surah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala means when he

says, amkuntum bilal aali,

do you feel you're above

being obedient,

being an obedient servant to Allah Subhanahu wa

ta'ala, when He has commanded you, He who

created you,

and has commanded you to prostrate before

this creation

that Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la created from the

earth, from the dust of the soil?

So this is the question that the Surat

Al Aqsa poses to Iblis, oh Iblis, what

prevented you from prostrating

to that which I created with my hands?

Are you filled with pride or are you

being

insolently disobedient?

What's his answer? Qala alaqaylum minhu,

I am better than him.

The UHlaqaylum

Allah says,

He's the first one to make an analogy,

Iblis.

Because

what

is

he

saying? He Because what is he saying? He

says, I'm better than him, you created me

from fire, and you created him from clay.

He's he's mind is so limited.

He's thinking, who told him that fire is

better than clay?

In actual fact, it's not. Yes.

You know, in order to,

to harden clay, we put it in the

fire, yes.

And the fire we used to cook our

food,

but fire is also extremely destructive.

I remember saying

that I learned in school that it takes

1 tree

to make a 1000000 matches. Remember that? Did

you learn that?

And it takes

1 match

to burn down a 1000000 trees.

That's a joke, you know? Simple.

And when you really get down to the

science of it, I mean soil is far

more beneficial then.

And finally,

I mean without soil,

especially

that nutrient rich soil, that organic soil from

which we've been created. That's why it is

hamayimbasnu, mas,

masnun.

Hamayimbasnu,

what is that?

That is black altered clay. Why is it

black? Because of the organic material in it,

that when it decomposed, it turned the mud

black, and then when it dried out it

became like potter's sounding clay.

We've been created from nutrient rich soil,

Without nutrient rich soil, there is no vegetation.

There are no trees to shade us from

the

the

harmful rays of the sun,

and there is no

fruit and vegetables and everything else

and it sprinkles from the birth from which

we eat.

Also, there's no

fodder

or grasses on which the animals can graze.

So, soil is far more, it's got far

more if you want to get down to

the science of it.

But it wasn't for him to even think

about it. As I mentioned last night it's

Ta'agudi.

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

And establish the pray for the declining of

the sun,

salatul Dhuhr lamasatkalayal

until the covering of the night including Dhuhr,

Madrim and Ishaq Waqur Anil Fajr and the

reading of the dawned prayer.

Indeed in the reading of the dawn prayer

or the dawn prayer is indeed witnessed

when it is performed.

What do you say? We still say, oh,

but, you know, I've got a heavy schedule.

I've got so many business meetings.

You know, I've got my, my gym.

I don't go to gym, but I'm just

using it as an example. Some people say

they've got to go to gym. Some people

say, no. No. But they've got,

you know,

they've got other activities. Maybe they're playing soccer

or playing cricket.

You know? So

no.

We hear and we obey.

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala commands something, we have

no choice. We don't have a choice in

the matter.

It's not for the believing man or the

believing woman,

that if Allah and His Messenger have decreed

a matter

that they should have a say in the

day after,

and whoever disobeys Allah in His Messenger have

indeed gone manifesting astray.

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala commanded the malaika including

Iblis to prostrate. They had,

of course, the malaika being created for the

same purpose of worshiping Allah, automatic.

For them it was automatic.

But Iblis kalimile jinn, being of the jinn,

like ins.

Like ins. We are the only 2

creations of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

Al jinn with ins

that have been created with

the ability

to either obey

or disobey.

But as long as Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

is commanding us, we have no choice in

the matter.

I have no choice.

Allah is not

or disobey those commands. Inshallah, we'll take it

till then, and we'll continue tomorrow
