was Virgil

00:00:08 --> 00:00:12

all the time in a chiffonier rajim Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem.

00:00:14 --> 00:00:18

The outcome key and third were HEC mominul. Quran Al Karim knights of

00:00:18 --> 00:00:22

empowerment, parables and wisdom from the Noble Quran.

00:00:23 --> 00:00:27

One of the best known parables in the Holy Quran is that of the

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

spider's web.

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

And Allah makes reference to that in Surah Anca Bucha

00:00:32 --> 00:00:37

method or Latina taka Domingo Nila Alia a commercially Lanka boat, it

00:00:37 --> 00:00:38

occurred Vita.

00:00:39 --> 00:00:47

The example of those who take Olia other than Allah is like that of a

00:00:47 --> 00:00:50

spider who takes the web as its home.

00:00:52 --> 00:00:56

A contrast is drawn between those who take Olia other than Allah.

00:00:57 --> 00:01:02

And Olia Of course, basically literally means friend, or ally.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:07

But also in this context, in a larger context, it implies

00:01:07 --> 00:01:12

caretaker maintainer, protector, someone that you can rely upon for

00:01:12 --> 00:01:16

safety and security, someone that you can depend upon.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20

Therefore, the concept of tequila.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:25

Dependence in Allah is an integral part of our relationship as people

00:01:25 --> 00:01:30

of faith with our Creator. The word cool, however, does not mean

00:01:30 --> 00:01:33

that you just believe and do nothing. It is also an expression

00:01:34 --> 00:01:38

of convictional reliance, convictional reliance upon the

00:01:38 --> 00:01:41

divine, you do what needs to be done, but your dependence upon

00:01:41 --> 00:01:45

Allah, and then you will meet yet a worker Allah He for whom a

00:01:45 --> 00:01:49

husband, Allah is sufficient for those who genuinely rely upon him.

00:01:50 --> 00:01:55

Allah has put us in this world, to temporary world with a permanent

00:01:55 --> 00:02:00

test, and all of our positive and negative negative circumstances,

00:02:00 --> 00:02:05

whatever the causes may be, all the circumstances are part of that

00:02:05 --> 00:02:10

test. The test is about the performance. Regardless,

00:02:11 --> 00:02:15

regardless of what circumstance we find ourselves in, positive or

00:02:15 --> 00:02:21

negative, whatever circumstances we encounter, it is how we respond

00:02:21 --> 00:02:26

how we use our efforts in achieving the higher objectives of

00:02:26 --> 00:02:29

our existence, whether we're going through sugar, or periods of sub

00:02:30 --> 00:02:34

gratitude, or the green through patient perseverance. And our

00:02:34 --> 00:02:38

success depends on the quality of the good that we do in this world,

00:02:39 --> 00:02:44

despite what we encounter, based on the wisdom, the propriety and

00:02:44 --> 00:02:48

the sincerity that we incorporate in our thoughts in our words, and

00:02:48 --> 00:02:49

now deeds.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:56

The stoical autoworker Allah Allah reliance on Allah does not imply

00:02:56 --> 00:03:01

not doing anything, it is neither stagnation, noise, resignation,

00:03:01 --> 00:03:06

rather, it is a motivation to practical wisdom, practical action

00:03:06 --> 00:03:10

with affirmative hope you do what needs to be done, but with hoping

00:03:10 --> 00:03:14

Allah is whatever make it happen, it happens for the best and you

00:03:14 --> 00:03:17

will deal with whatever happens and whatever happens may be the

00:03:17 --> 00:03:20

best for you. It may be part of the test. And therefore an

00:03:20 --> 00:03:25

incident any documented by material within a prophecy was

00:03:25 --> 00:03:28

stolen, entered into a masjid and someone came in with him. And he

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

came with the camera outside and he left the camera and the Rasul

00:03:30 --> 00:03:34

asked him Did you tie your camel he said the worker Allah Allah He

00:03:34 --> 00:03:35

said know

00:03:36 --> 00:03:39

what the worker first tie your camel, then depend upon Allah you

00:03:39 --> 00:03:42

do your but is not just Oh, someone will take care of it.

00:03:42 --> 00:03:46

Allah is not a camel herder. You do your part. And that is then

00:03:46 --> 00:03:51

rely on what comes after that. Now those who do not engage into a

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

call

00:03:53 --> 00:03:57

the dependence or reliance on Allah, they are the ones who are

00:03:57 --> 00:04:01

referred to in this parable. They are like those, like the spider

00:04:01 --> 00:04:03

taking its web as its home.

00:04:05 --> 00:04:10

In analyzing the parable of the spider, just by way of

00:04:10 --> 00:04:14

introduction, a remarkable point to note, just the wonder of the

00:04:14 --> 00:04:14

Quran.

00:04:15 --> 00:04:18

There are three suitors in the Quran that makes reference to

00:04:18 --> 00:04:20

insects Surah

00:04:22 --> 00:04:24

Surah number ensuites Blanca Bucha

00:04:26 --> 00:04:26

and

00:04:27 --> 00:04:32

a number, the surah and the reference in there are two plural

00:04:33 --> 00:04:37

because these insects live in communities. You know, bees are in

00:04:37 --> 00:04:42

communities, in groups and sang communities they are in groups. In

00:04:42 --> 00:04:45

fact, ends are the most structured of all creatures.

00:04:46 --> 00:04:50

And Caboose, Allah the first two in the Surah In the feminine and

00:04:50 --> 00:04:54

the singular because the net is the web is made by the female and

00:04:54 --> 00:04:58

maintained by the female so unique in our Allah uses even the name

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

feminine see

00:05:00 --> 00:05:01

Muller and for the other

00:05:02 --> 00:05:06

masculine orders a plural. Now let us reflect on the spider's web

00:05:07 --> 00:05:11

with the spider takes as its home. a spider's web is made from silk

00:05:11 --> 00:05:16

as we know. And spiders are in fact, the only animals that use

00:05:16 --> 00:05:21

the practical use a silk original soak in the daily lives, we may

00:05:21 --> 00:05:24

make clothes out of it, and so on and so forth. But they're the only

00:05:24 --> 00:05:28

ones even the slug will produce a slug. But as far as practically

00:05:28 --> 00:05:33

using it, it is the spider. The soul for the web is produced as

00:05:33 --> 00:05:37

liquid. But as it emerges from the gland of the spider from the

00:05:37 --> 00:05:41

splinter net to the spider, it turns into solid silk fiber, which

00:05:41 --> 00:05:46

is 0.004 millimeter thick, less than a 1,000th of a human,

00:05:48 --> 00:05:50

the tensile strength and you need to understand something to allow

00:05:50 --> 00:05:53

me to reference in my Shala no more than my Kalma listen to what

00:05:53 --> 00:05:58

it is, the tensile strength of each strand of the spider's web is

00:05:58 --> 00:06:01

stronger than the same weight of steel, and it has much greater

00:06:01 --> 00:06:06

elasticity. stronger than steel, weight by weight, on by pound,

00:06:07 --> 00:06:12

inch by inch measure by measure angles greater elasticity. Despite

00:06:12 --> 00:06:16

its fragile look, the spider silk thread that makes the web is

00:06:16 --> 00:06:21

extremely resilient. And in fact, in the full year spider, has the

00:06:21 --> 00:06:26

strongest biological substance is natural fiber emitting from his

00:06:26 --> 00:06:31

body, to make your web is the strongest natural substance known

00:06:31 --> 00:06:35

to men natural fiber known to men, and therefore is referred to as

00:06:35 --> 00:06:40

bio steel. mind boggling and impressive indeed. But now the

00:06:40 --> 00:06:45

spider's web. The spider's web itself symbolizes and is symbolic,

00:06:45 --> 00:06:49

of a seemingly safe of a secure knit.

00:06:50 --> 00:06:54

But despite the intricacies of his design, the magnificence of his

00:06:54 --> 00:06:58

functionality, how it operates, the strength of its of its

00:06:58 --> 00:07:03

strength, the beauty of his appearance, despite all of it. The

00:07:03 --> 00:07:09

spider's web is primarily a trap, and also a home, but rather

00:07:10 --> 00:07:16

unpleasant and lonely on spiders live alone. Babies just won't

00:07:16 --> 00:07:20

fight for existence and often kill each other to survive. Me who

00:07:20 --> 00:07:25

comes to visit may be eaten after meeting by normally the larger and

00:07:25 --> 00:07:26

more powerful female.

00:07:28 --> 00:07:32

So it's neither happy home, nor a safe residence. It is a lonely

00:07:32 --> 00:07:36

home for the one who resides a treacherous venue for those who

00:07:36 --> 00:07:41

visit a deadly abode for those who are trapped. It doesn't provide

00:07:41 --> 00:07:45

any shade, neither protection from gold, nor from heat, or any

00:07:45 --> 00:07:45

shelter

00:07:47 --> 00:07:53

the spider takes as its home. The spider's web therefore, is a great

00:07:53 --> 00:07:57

sign of Allah's creation. The structure exemplifies material

00:07:57 --> 00:07:59

strength, and exquisite design.

00:08:00 --> 00:08:05

It is appealing is beauty, and deceptively attractive. Its

00:08:05 --> 00:08:10

threads are extremely strong and designed to catch prey. Despite

00:08:10 --> 00:08:14

all of it, the verse concludes, the spider takes the web as its

00:08:14 --> 00:08:19

own. We're in Ohanian boo Utila beta Blanca, Booth, Locarno, Yaga

00:08:19 --> 00:08:23

moon, and indeed, among the weakest of homes is the home of

00:08:23 --> 00:08:29

the spider, if only you knew. So the spider is home. The web is

00:08:29 --> 00:08:33

indeed a weak house, literally floating in the air.

00:08:34 --> 00:08:39

That's the mere stroke of our fingertips can easily destroy this

00:08:39 --> 00:08:40

elaborate design.

00:08:41 --> 00:08:47

So those who rely on other than Allah are like the spiders relying

00:08:47 --> 00:08:47

on the web.

00:08:49 --> 00:08:52

Is it possible also reference to the World Wide Web today? Allah

00:08:52 --> 00:08:53

Allah

00:08:55 --> 00:09:00

points for consideration. One we often saw be dazzled by the

00:09:00 --> 00:09:03

appealing creativity of creation, Mashallah.

00:09:05 --> 00:09:09

We often saw be dazzled by the appealing creativity of creation,

00:09:09 --> 00:09:14

that we seldom recognize the magnificence of the creator of

00:09:14 --> 00:09:19

creation. Point number two. Though the spider's web is seemingly

00:09:19 --> 00:09:23

beautiful, apparently strong, it is still a trap.

00:09:24 --> 00:09:28

Many things in the world be dazzling, appealing, but still

00:09:28 --> 00:09:34

attract things and it always is the same. So don't be fooled. And

00:09:34 --> 00:09:39

number three, we often see so much evil in good people. We see so

00:09:39 --> 00:09:44

much ugliness in beautiful people. There's so much apparent wrongs in

00:09:44 --> 00:09:51

good places, yet so much potential beauty in ugly places. Therefore,

00:09:51 --> 00:09:57

do not be blinded by the apparent but rather give you attention to

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59

the deeper reality of things Akula

00:10:00 --> 00:10:03

kolyada was the Flula was salam aleikum
