all the time in a chiffonier rajim Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem.
The outcome key and third were HEC mominul. Quran Al Karim knights of
empowerment, parables and wisdom from the Noble Quran.
One of the best known parables in the Holy Quran is that of the
spider's web.
And Allah makes reference to that in Surah Anca Bucha
method or Latina taka Domingo Nila Alia a commercially Lanka boat, it
occurred Vita.
The example of those who take Olia other than Allah is like that of a
spider who takes the web as its home.
A contrast is drawn between those who take Olia other than Allah.
And Olia Of course, basically literally means friend, or ally.
But also in this context, in a larger context, it implies
caretaker maintainer, protector, someone that you can rely upon for
safety and security, someone that you can depend upon.
Therefore, the concept of tequila.
Dependence in Allah is an integral part of our relationship as people
of faith with our Creator. The word cool, however, does not mean
that you just believe and do nothing. It is also an expression
of convictional reliance, convictional reliance upon the
divine, you do what needs to be done, but your dependence upon
Allah, and then you will meet yet a worker Allah He for whom a
husband, Allah is sufficient for those who genuinely rely upon him.
Allah has put us in this world, to temporary world with a permanent
test, and all of our positive and negative negative circumstances,
whatever the causes may be, all the circumstances are part of that
test. The test is about the performance. Regardless,
regardless of what circumstance we find ourselves in, positive or
negative, whatever circumstances we encounter, it is how we respond
how we use our efforts in achieving the higher objectives of
our existence, whether we're going through sugar, or periods of sub
gratitude, or the green through patient perseverance. And our
success depends on the quality of the good that we do in this world,
despite what we encounter, based on the wisdom, the propriety and
the sincerity that we incorporate in our thoughts in our words, and
now deeds.
The stoical autoworker Allah Allah reliance on Allah does not imply
not doing anything, it is neither stagnation, noise, resignation,
rather, it is a motivation to practical wisdom, practical action
with affirmative hope you do what needs to be done, but with hoping
Allah is whatever make it happen, it happens for the best and you
will deal with whatever happens and whatever happens may be the
best for you. It may be part of the test. And therefore an
incident any documented by material within a prophecy was
stolen, entered into a masjid and someone came in with him. And he
came with the camera outside and he left the camera and the Rasul
asked him Did you tie your camel he said the worker Allah Allah He
said know
what the worker first tie your camel, then depend upon Allah you
do your but is not just Oh, someone will take care of it.
Allah is not a camel herder. You do your part. And that is then
rely on what comes after that. Now those who do not engage into a
call
the dependence or reliance on Allah, they are the ones who are
referred to in this parable. They are like those, like the spider
taking its web as its home.
In analyzing the parable of the spider, just by way of
introduction, a remarkable point to note, just the wonder of the
Quran.
There are three suitors in the Quran that makes reference to
insects Surah
Surah number ensuites Blanca Bucha
and
a number, the surah and the reference in there are two plural
because these insects live in communities. You know, bees are in
communities, in groups and sang communities they are in groups. In
fact, ends are the most structured of all creatures.
And Caboose, Allah the first two in the Surah In the feminine and
the singular because the net is the web is made by the female and
maintained by the female so unique in our Allah uses even the name
feminine see
Muller and for the other
masculine orders a plural. Now let us reflect on the spider's web
with the spider takes as its home. a spider's web is made from silk
as we know. And spiders are in fact, the only animals that use
the practical use a silk original soak in the daily lives, we may
make clothes out of it, and so on and so forth. But they're the only
ones even the slug will produce a slug. But as far as practically
using it, it is the spider. The soul for the web is produced as
liquid. But as it emerges from the gland of the spider from the
splinter net to the spider, it turns into solid silk fiber, which
is 0.004 millimeter thick, less than a 1,000th of a human,
the tensile strength and you need to understand something to allow
me to reference in my Shala no more than my Kalma listen to what
it is, the tensile strength of each strand of the spider's web is
stronger than the same weight of steel, and it has much greater
elasticity. stronger than steel, weight by weight, on by pound,
inch by inch measure by measure angles greater elasticity. Despite
its fragile look, the spider silk thread that makes the web is
extremely resilient. And in fact, in the full year spider, has the
strongest biological substance is natural fiber emitting from his
body, to make your web is the strongest natural substance known
to men natural fiber known to men, and therefore is referred to as
bio steel. mind boggling and impressive indeed. But now the
spider's web. The spider's web itself symbolizes and is symbolic,
of a seemingly safe of a secure knit.
But despite the intricacies of his design, the magnificence of his
functionality, how it operates, the strength of its of its
strength, the beauty of his appearance, despite all of it. The
spider's web is primarily a trap, and also a home, but rather
unpleasant and lonely on spiders live alone. Babies just won't
fight for existence and often kill each other to survive. Me who
comes to visit may be eaten after meeting by normally the larger and
more powerful female.
So it's neither happy home, nor a safe residence. It is a lonely
home for the one who resides a treacherous venue for those who
visit a deadly abode for those who are trapped. It doesn't provide
any shade, neither protection from gold, nor from heat, or any
shelter
the spider takes as its home. The spider's web therefore, is a great
sign of Allah's creation. The structure exemplifies material
strength, and exquisite design.
It is appealing is beauty, and deceptively attractive. Its
threads are extremely strong and designed to catch prey. Despite
all of it, the verse concludes, the spider takes the web as its
own. We're in Ohanian boo Utila beta Blanca, Booth, Locarno, Yaga
moon, and indeed, among the weakest of homes is the home of
the spider, if only you knew. So the spider is home. The web is
indeed a weak house, literally floating in the air.
That's the mere stroke of our fingertips can easily destroy this
elaborate design.
So those who rely on other than Allah are like the spiders relying
on the web.
Is it possible also reference to the World Wide Web today? Allah
Allah
points for consideration. One we often saw be dazzled by the
appealing creativity of creation, Mashallah.
We often saw be dazzled by the appealing creativity of creation,
that we seldom recognize the magnificence of the creator of
creation. Point number two. Though the spider's web is seemingly
beautiful, apparently strong, it is still a trap.
Many things in the world be dazzling, appealing, but still
attract things and it always is the same. So don't be fooled. And
number three, we often see so much evil in good people. We see so
much ugliness in beautiful people. There's so much apparent wrongs in
good places, yet so much potential beauty in ugly places. Therefore,
do not be blinded by the apparent but rather give you attention to
the deeper reality of things Akula
