00:00:24 --> 00:00:29
			Allah subhanho wa Taala does not
shy away from using a variety of
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			parables in the Quran.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:35
			And a variety of parables,
irrespective of the subject,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:41
			provided that some lesson is
conveyed through those parables.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:46
			Allah subhanaw taala for example,
mentions in the Holy Quran in
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:51

			Kowloon Amala are the Allahu

00:01:05 --> 00:01:10
			not find it condescending in any
way to offer a parable, even of a
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:15
			little insects, or even something
less than an insect. Those who
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:19
			have attained faith, they know
this is the truth from Allah the
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:24
			sustainer whereas those who are
stuck in denying the truth, they
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			say, What does Allah mean by these
parables?
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:32
			We have noted that parables are
similes of Proverbs in the
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			Glorious Quran
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:39
			affords us ethical insights,
highlights noble virtues, they
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:44
			illustrate valuable principles and
of course most often provide moral
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:44
			lessons.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:51
			So let us consider for tonight the
parable of the Fli Allah subhanho
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:55
			wa Taala says in the Quran is sort
of hydrogen yeah you Hannah's
		
00:01:55 --> 00:02:01
			booty by Macedon first me Allah in
the rumen do Nila Lai Yahoo Baba,
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:07
			Allah, what He has to do with the
bat che inliers Tokido mean, the
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			alpha Kalibo while not
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:15
			all humankind, a parable is
offered to you. So listen to it
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:20
			attentively. Take note that those
things whom you pray to those who
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:24
			are idol worshipers, and you have
God other than Allah, those things
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:30
			whom you pray to, instead of Allah
cannot even create a fly, even if
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:35
			they were to combine all their
collective efforts. And if a fly
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			snatches something from them, they
cannot even retrieve it from the
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:44
			fly, which indeed is the seeker
from idols, and weak indeed, are
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			those idols from whom you are
seeking something.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:53
			It is said that the Quraysh used
to wipe the Kaaba with a sweet
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			scent.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:59
			And this sweet scent would often
attract flies. And these flies
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:03
			would sit on the idols, including
Google who bar was remain idle in
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:08
			the car by that time. So the
simile in this verse intimates the
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:12
			parable, that these idols that
people worshipped. They could even
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:16
			create a fly even less than that.
They don't even have the ability
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:20
			to wipe away your swipe away the
flies that sit on them, and it
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			says in the flies, next is
something from them. They can't
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:29
			even retrieve it. How feeble is
the ID? How feeble is the idol
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:34
			worshippers reliance on the idol,
and how feeble and weak are the
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			idols himself? The Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			in a hadith documented in the
Muslim of Imam Muhammad to be
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			humble, who is more
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:49
			wrong than the one who competes
with Allah in creation or
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			competing aligning,
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:55
			Allah says for Johanna, cool Mr.
Halki, the return of the bar
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:59
			button oh haha. And if you want to
compete, then create for me one
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			kernel of corn,
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			one seed,
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:09
			or even a fly from my creation,
create something as simple as
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:09
			that.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:17
			Now, we need to note that creation
is something where you bring
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:21
			something into existence from
nothingness, creation, to bring
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:25
			something into existence from
nothingness. So even as human
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:30
			beings we make things but we don't
create things. We manufacture
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:34
			things from existing material. We
make glass from sand, we make
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:38
			paper from wood, but the wood is
there, the sand is there. We
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:43
			manufacture we use the Ockel Allah
gave us and manufacture things. We
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46
			don't bring something from
nothingness into existence.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:52
			And therefore, Allah is the only
creator Zadek hula hula Holly
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			Hokulea che la ilaha illa
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			Allah your Sustainer he indeed is
the creator of all
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			exists, there is no deity worthy
of worship, besides
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:08
			the parable of beings to for the
incapacity of anyone other than
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:14
			Allah to actually create. And the
challenge is, they can even create
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:20
			a fly, and two points arrays who
can create a fly. And who can
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23
			retrieve something from the fly,
the idols can't even retrieve
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:27
			something on the fly. Let's begin
with the consideration of the
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:31
			retrieving something from the fly.
On the one hand, if a fly should
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:35
			* something from the idol,
whatever it may be, the islands
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:40
			can even move to swipe away the
flight. But on the other hand is
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:44
			another lesson for us. Even if we
look in our homes, for example,
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:49
			the fly if a fly snitches, for
example, a grain of sugar, a
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:54
			couple of grains of sugar, which
it often does, by the way, no one
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:59
			would be able to really recover
once it's messages. Why? Because
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:03
			one of the specific features of a
fly is the way that digest food.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:07
			They don't digest food in the
mouth, they digest, they make it
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:11
			malleable, they only take
something in liquid form. So they
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			liquefy the fluid, the food, and
then the second thing.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			And that is why let's call it
four. In fact, it's called
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:22
			sponging. So once it secretes
something onto the food, that food
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:25
			or that sugar becomes liquefied,
you can't reverse the process. So
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			once it takes something from you,
you can't even bring it back.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:32
			Maybe it refers to that Allah
knows best. As for creating the
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:32
			fly.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:37
			Obviously, we can't create a fly.
But even the simplest of creature
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41
			is uniquely designed by the
Creator. The fly is the simplest
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:45
			of things. And Allah said in the
is it, Allah is not shy to use the
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:50
			simplest of things, even an insect
or something less. But even this
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:55
			fee basic, it has receptors, which
is called CheMin sencilla, which
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:59
			is which are found in the lower
legs in the feet, they can taste
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			food with their feet.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:05
			And not only that, due to that I'm
just using the feet and I'm not
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:09
			going to the whole animal by the
way, or the whole insect due to
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:14
			the pads. The pool fully flared
pads on its on its foot, it's able
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:19
			to walk climb almost any surface
no matter where it is where this
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			horizontal vertical, it can even
walk upside down.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:27
			Not only that, it has compound
eyes, which probably has
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:33
			approximately 4000 eyes or lenses
in each eye. And they have a 360
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:36
			degree view at the same time, at
one time.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:43
			But you can imagine the brain of a
fly. Nonetheless, it can process
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:49
			we process 60 images per second,
that fly can process 250 images
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:54
			per second. The lowly fly which
Allah made with the idols can even
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:54
			swipe away.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:59
			So we see that's why it's so hard
to catch a fly before you see they
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:04
			see you. But nonetheless, it's
among the least magnificent of
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:07
			Allah's creation, and yet fatter
BarakAllahu accent we'll call it
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			key
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:14
			points for our consideration. One.
A fly is only a small base
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:21
			creature and insect yet, it is put
here in this verse In contrast,
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:25
			defying the non existent powers of
the idols that people worship.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			Allah didn't do something big. He
used a flight
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:33
			to compare the fly. And the
inability of these idols when we
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:37
			make it the gods can't even
compare can compare the flight, no
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40
			doesn't even match up to the fly
isn't able even to chase a fly
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:45
			away to neither human nor gods.
The people worship the gods that
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:49
			people worship. None of them can
create a fly. But even that
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:54
			seemingly lowly fly is a unique
marvel of creation nonetheless.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			It's a unique marvel of creation.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:02
			Thirdly, only Allah is the
Creator. And this is the bottom
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:06
			line. Allah is only worthy of
being worshipped. That's the
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:09
			lesson of the parable only Allah
is worthy of being worshipped.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:13
			Only Allah is a creator. Remember,
just like those people who put
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:18
			together the ready made parts of a
car. They are called assemblers of
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:22
			the car, not inventors of the car.
People who assemble ready made
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:27
			parts are called assemblies of the
car, not inventors of the car, so
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:32
			too, we are manufacturers of many
things. We are not the creators of
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:36
			anything. Only Allah is the
Creator Akula Callie Harada was
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:39
