Smilla Rahmanir Rahim hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen
wa salatu salam Matamata slim Allah say you denominado Have you
been operating our union so you didn't know Mohammed? Ambrosio
Rahmatullah Alameen wa the early was hobby he was working he was
already at home and I said have you had Do you know me, Dean? So
look, I'm hydrated by law let you know how can i Hurry her lawyers
who want her in law Hurlock from Ahmedabad?
So
we're up to the
24th Hadith, I think, if I'm not mistaken. And I think we either
have three weeks left or four mature. So
22nd Probably the last time yeah.
So that will give us today the eighth the 15th. So for more, I
think we can, it's possible we can get to the 40. But that's not
necessarily a goal but
some of these Hadith are a
little bit shorter than the rest so.
So the 24th Hadith narrated, called an imam Ibn Abu Jamal Rahim
Allah.
We will be sending you in with Olson in this hidden nsmt America
and we saw I sent them call in Allah azza wa jal
what caliber Rami Malik and yada yada yada yada yada the medulla
Further ALLAH and yesterday or Hulka who called as guru as
macaron M owns the Chateau Yun M Saeed from every school will
Angelou for Yokota goofy but Naomi
and the cinematic narrative from the prophesy Selim that he said
Verily Allah azza wa jal appointed an angel over the womb. He says,
My Lord droplets, my lord o'clock my lord a piece of flesh, if He
wills to complete his creation, He says male or female, miserable
or happy, we'll get to that in a second, then the portion of
sustenance and the lifespan Then the angel writes all of this in
the
stomach of the mother.
That Buckner here doesn't really I wouldn't translate a stomach I
would translate it as
is doesn't literally mean stomach it means just the belly, probably
belly better word.
Maybe abdomen, abdomen, yeah, that would work to belly abdomen, not
apathy.
So here we see a hadith that
is describing
what we call the miracle of creation.
And
there has been probably in the past few decades, kind of an
emphasis from
a few scholars, I won't say many scholars, but a few scholars who
are also have some scientific type of background.
And they emphasize
what they call it the ideas and enemy or the scientific miracles,
most
ordinarily, what's found in the Quran, but obviously you find some
of the Hadith, talking about these things as well.
And I think we might have mentioned this before maybe
another class that the emphasis towards this particular way of
looking at things and Agile has allowed me
the scientific miracles of the Quran. Places, I think sometimes
undue stress on the Sacred Scripture in the sense that we try
to fit it in whatever prevailing scientific
theory may be around at the time. And it doesn't necessarily have to
do that. A lot of the Quran a lot of the Hadith can be interpreted
in a number of different ways. And, for example, even Abu Jamal
on his commentary in this hadith, he was of the opinion that when
the sperm coincides with the
he didn't even say the ovary the egg of the woman, he said with her
* or with hers, her excretion, this takes place in the vaginal
canal for a period of time. 40 days is what he thought and then
it would move on to the womb. And modern science telling us that
that's not that's not right, that's incorrect. That actually
takes place in the uterus and the womb, and then it clings to the
uterus and that point, so obviously, in mw Gemma is
understanding and he understand the Quran quite well and even the
Hadith. He interpreted it
way that made sense to him? We're not gonna say his interpretation
is invalid.
Based upon the linguistic purport of the Quran or the Hadith, it
can't be because he's a scholar. Right? We could, if he if we made
that egregious error and say lucky, he completely misunderstood
what you're saying, because he doesn't understand Arabic. That's
unlikely.
But what we can say if he's basing his understanding on a particular
thing that he found in a verse or in the Hadith, and it does not
jive with prevailing scientific knowledge, then that's perfectly
legitimate to say that, you know, there's nothing wrong with that.
So we should, it's clear, or it's important that we make the
distinction between the two.
What the Quran could possibly be saying, or the Hadith about
certain things, and trying to say that it definitely says this,
because
most of the Hadith and most of the Quran is what we call the NIA
data, which means that it's open to more than one interpretation.
It's not cut a cloth, it means univocal one interpretation,
there's no other way it can be understood. And there's very few
verses in the Quran and very, very few of the Hadith that actually
would fall under that. And so, just as a note, I think to be
careful with
you know, when the slug the Quran, talks about the stages in the
womb, or this hadith when it says, you know, a droplet and then a
motiva and then Allah and so forth, and that's exactly how, you
know, modern Obstetricians and Gynecologists understand it in
exactly the same way disproves the Quran. No, doesn't prove the
Quran, Quran doesn't need that for proof. Right? It's not like
Brooklyn is in need of validation from modern science. It may
coincide, it may not because it's open to interpretation.
So here,
nevertheless,
the promise I send them relates this
for a reason, right? There's a wisdom behind why this particular
Hadith, why he's telling us that this is what happens inside the
womb.
It's not just like, you know, we had nothing better to talk about
that day. So he said, when we talk about what happens in the womb,
there's a lesson in it for us to ponder and to contemplate. And
notice the
the juxtaposition of both the physical development,
right, because we're talking about here, the droplet
or the Nova, which is the actual fertilization of the ovary, or the
egg,
with the male sperm. So it's only merely
you know, those two come together to form a single cell.
That's the Nova and then Aloka.
Write a clot and Allah actually from Arabic language means
something that hooks or hangs on to something. So when the sperm
fertilizes with the egg, and then it hooks on to the inside of the
uterus, right? And so that's Allah, even though it's translated
here as
clot. And then in Madeira, which means a morsel of flesh when it
begins to develop, and, you know, clearly skeletal system and
circulatory system and all those other things began to happen with
the, with the embryo in the very beginning.
And then at the same time, he's talking about
halka, who, male or female, it's creation, Shaka, you and I'm
saying it here when it says, miserable or happy, it means in an
eternal sense, will they be amongst the dwellers of Paradise
sad and OBEDIA or will be the amongst dwellers of hellfire
Shukla at OBEDIA other learning
from our risk, its sustenance, we'll get to in a second and then
the Agile which is the lifespan. So just as we are fashioned within
the womb, whether we're going to be male or female,
and what we will look like and our features so also these intangible
things that can only be known by a lost man without it, namely,
whether you're going to be a person of paradise of sad, or
you're going to be a person of sakawa, you're going to be someone
of eternal misery, as well as there is one sustenance not just
in a material, physical financial sense, but even beyond that. So
sustenance means both your material bodily sustenance, what
you need to survive, as well as your other type of resolve your
spiritual trust, for example, and we know that last final data is
omniscient and omnipotent and all that was and is and will ever be
is known in intimate
in perfect detail by Allah subhanaw taala.
So, why is the proper size to them really this hadith? What is the
lesson that we're supposed to come out with it? What are we supposed
to learn?
Remember I'm gonna jump into he mentioned that one of them is that
just as an it's interesting, he actually said this in the
commentary. He said just as you know, no one thinks about if one
was born male, no one thinks about becoming a female. He actually
said that, what, 800 years ago.
It's like I'm talking to him, like, you know what people
actually do say that. But he said, just in the same way that no one,
a male doesn't want to become the female or the opposite, then and
they don't try to it's kind of like a given, then in much in the
same way. The other things that are mentioned here, your
sustenance, it's a given. So why are you trying to change that
trying to be something that you're not? Why are you actually worried
about it? No one worries about man, I was born a male, maybe I
should be a female,
even though people do that today, but that's outside the context of
what he's talking about. But generally speaking, since all of
these things are known, ultimately by Allah subhanaw taala, and he
has called them, well hold him read and he is the one who made it
happen, then there's no difference between any of these the four
things he mentions here, namely male or female, shuttling on
upside, right, miserable or happy eternally, at risk, one sustenance
and when they will die,
how long their life will be, you don't have control over when
you're going to die when you're not going to die. So in other
words, all of these what they have in common is that ultimately, you
don't have control over it.
That being said, then the question that will automatically come is
Well, if that's true, right, and it's already written, if I'm going
to be happy or miserable, then why should I try to do anything? If
it's already set so much in the same way that male or female and I
can't change that then why should I even try to change? What my
final status will be? Whether in paradise or hellfire? Why should I
work for any of them when it's already settled?
And the answer to that is yes, it is already settled. But Allah
subhanaw taala is asking you to do something. He never asked us to
find our own sustenance. In fact, he tells us quite the opposite.
Learners localista No, not so well asked about Taqwa. We don't ask
you to sustain yourselves. Right. Now notice, we're the ones who
hear the royal we in the Quran. We are the ones Allah subhanaw taala,
who will take care of your sustenance, while our cleaver to
the taqwa but doesn't say but But you understand that from the
context, the art labor, right? In other words, the thing that you're
thinking about what happens later after the final vote, it will be
determined by your Dakhla. In other words, what you actually do
what you put forth, your deeds, your knowledge, so forth, what you
tried to do so even though we don't know the final outcome, and
and Allah knows, that does not preclude us from actually working
towards that end. So there are certain things obviously, Allah
smart Allah has determined in fact, not certain things
everything. Technically speaking, everything is determined by Allah
spiraled out, but with even that determinism, he still asked us to
work for certain things. So he asked us for taqwa, he presets a
path by which we can achieve taqwa, he asked us to worship him.
He tells us the reason why He created us when Mahabharata and
Jinnah will insert Ilya who have not created the jinn and the INS
human beings, except that they may worship Me. And so then the
object, one of the primary objectives of our creation is in
fact to worship Allah subhanaw taala. In all, its various
understandings and manifestations, it's not just limited to prayer,
but everything about your life can be technically
an affirmation or an act of worship. So realizing that Allah
smalltown is the creator, and that you are the created, and because
of that relationship, then you are to act like the one who was
created and not like the Creator. And so, in fact, when people try
to change that what Allah has determined and as as expressly
conveyed to us that it's not changeable, then we are assuming a
position of being like the Creator.
And then that becomes a transgression, not just against
humanity, but really against the law against God. So trying to
change what Allah has already made in you, if for example, trying to
change your * to be from male to female or the opposite, right is a
clear transgression. Obviously, sort of a level of
humanity but also what it implies. And what it implies. It's like
you're saying, Well, God made a mistake. You know, like, I hear
what people say,
I came out male, but really, I'm a female inside, I'm supposed to be
that. So God kind of made a mistake with that. So I'm gonna
fix it. That's the bigger transgression. Right, that's the
if the rock to even make a statement like that or to think
that Allah subhanaw taala is capable of having that kind of
mistake or that mix up and that now you know better and you're
going to change it.
So Allah doesn't ask us to have anything to do with that. And in
fact, pre modern people like him, I'm gonna said, No one even
thought that to begin with no one thought about to change their *,
or that they're in the wrong body, and they have to do something
else. These are all very modern maladies. And they're not maladies
of the body, they're valleys of the soul. Right? These are people
who are
completely just, maybe the victims more than anything else, I can't
judge. But
you know, we're living in a time now where
the integrity of the soul is under great threat. Modern life in
general, does not allow for really a healthy nourishment of the soul,
you really have to make a big effort and you have to go against
the grain to kind of endeavor to do that. And as a result, we have
a lot of suffering people all over the world and suffering not, not
primarily in a physical sense, but in a spiritual sense. And then
that leads also
to also the suffering even in a physical sense.
So here in this Hadith also, we see that last month, Allah
appointed an angel, and angels
are sentient beings that are created from light, they
do not have the ability to transgress against the last panel
data, they only worship Him. That is what they are created for. We
usually can't be cognizant, aware of them, usually, even though it's
not impossible, because we know from the Hadith, that even though
Sahaba saw Gibreel, in the form of a man as he appeared to the
Prophet SAW, I said, But if an angel so for most people, if you
can probably either not probably you can either see an angel, or
maybe you can hear one, but if you both seeing and hearing, then
that's only for profits. So if an angel is directly speaking to a
person, then we say that person is either a prophet, or something
akin to a prophet. That's why I'm called to be he designated Amalia
Mata has Salam as a prophet, because God spoke directly to her.
Right in the Quran. It's recounted that story, manipulator even in
the form of a man, and then she said to him, in the out of Iraq
money, in contact with Leah, I seek refuge from Allah that men if
you are a person of righteousness, because you know how this person
got in her tower room in the monastery, where it came from, it
came out of nowhere in a locked room, and only in academia had the
key so where did he come from? So he spoke to her.
Hence the difference of opinion about money and whether she was a
prophet or not. But most people, we don't have any recognition or
any ability to know that the angels around us, but with each
human, individual human being, there are probably
at least a dozen angels with them. So most definitely, you know, keep
at it, the ones who record the deeds, then there are guardian
angels. Some of the Hadith mentioned there are about 10 or
so.
Remember, never Jimena said some of the Hadith mentioned that there
are even particular angels that are Moluccan to have agency over
particular bodily organs, or, or senses like eyesight like hearing,
like the stomach, like their digestive system. So even though
we're not aware of them, we're not cognizant of them. Nevertheless,
they are there. And some of the automatic declare that even angels
have ability, much in the way that in the same way that Shavonne can
whisper to us. satanic things, right are things that obviously
would lead us from Allah, then the angels also have the ability to
also do the same thing, but obviously in a good way. So one
can have an angelic Heart Hero and angelic thoughts, an angelic
moment where something comes to mind. And they say that usually
that that's the case when one gets an impulse to do something of
good. So you're walking down the street and you see an indigent
person, and it looks like they need some help. And so maybe that
comes to mind, I should help this person.
Right? They say that, that that kind of impulse that comes could
be this the source of it could be the angels themselves, that give
the person that particular electrical impulse. Most of those
things there's not really solid kind of
unequivocal, you know, sources for it. But it's kind of something
that has grown to be accepted as, if not a possibility, even a great
probability that that's the case that they do have the ability to
do this
with us.
And remember, Amazon rural Keven said in one of his books and
they'll say healthcare FIA that one of your objectives with the
angels is to want them to be in your company. So to try to do
things that they like, so that will stick around, because there
are certain moments where they will not stick around private
moments, when one's relieving themselves, for example, they
don't stick around for that. And so you find some of the Hadith
talking about certain things that angels don't like, like they don't
go into a house that has a dog or
an animate form depicted.
So that he doesn't say outright, It's haram to have a dog in the
house, or the bait or something of animate format, right depicted.
But it implies that if you want the company of the angels in your
house, then maybe that's something you should be considering.
amazulu also says that angels like to be around people in a state of
will do.
So maintaining a constant state of blue also is something that
will will procure the
company of the angels.
So it's something that you know, wants you to think about when you
know, in their daily routine, yes.
Angels? I mean, I've heard them throughout the lecture. Is there
like a book or something?
And also, sorry, second question is about the
pretest predestiny. And I know this is complicated, but so are
you basically being judged on your net, like your effort? So like, if
you are a certain way, so you're like, I want to know,
your person, what you recognize about yourself being chained up,
sort of, like, judged on the desire to be better, or are you
exempt? It's just something that really troubles me, because, you
know, I gotta think a lot about the fact that I want to be in
certainly, but I can't,
I tried really hard to, it's really hard for me.
For me, whereas
Sydney,
it's a sliding scale, yes.
Yanni
one of the Hadith of the promised settlements or sound Hadith, he
said that the people will come after the so he was speaking to
the sahaba. And he said, though, people will come after you who
will do
1/10 or even 1/50, I think of what you do, and they will get the same
reward.
And he said, 150 is what they do what we do so know what you do.
So that indicates that
Allah small data doesn't wrong, anyone. And he's well aware of our
circumstances, and well aware of the obstacles that we have, that
stand between us and where we want to be. And obviously, people who
are living and breathing the same air as a privatized limb and
walking behind him in his footsteps, are going to be in a
slightly different position than people who live 1500 years later,
right, and can only see him via those who are exemplars of that
prophetic way. And when their numbers dwindle, there's not many
of them. And at the same time, there's people who kind of pretend
to be or think they are and the people the other way, law knows
all of that. Right, all of that is well known. So what one person
does, in this particular time that we're living in, is going to be
judged in a way about all swans data that is, is completely just
one of the names of Allah subhana is unlocks it, and unlocks it
means the one who judges completely equitably and
perfectly. We don't call justice in this life test
by solely only talked about the next slide. When Allah says
whenever Morzine and Custodio McLemore was in a list we will put
the scales of justice he said list not add, because it means you're
trying to balance like if you have the scale with the with the two
what's the two things? What's that called?
You know the one
so when you put the if you go to the old markets in the Middle East
if you put you know
He put your groceries here, and then he has these weights. But
people don't do this anymore. Even this continues to do it. And then
you know, he's trying to balance the scale. So, the idling this and
it also means the, the balance of either side like
idly by year, similar word. So reducer was what you have on
either side of the camel, which was the the law, which was the
goods. So you have to balance you can't put on the left side of the
camel too much and then stress the animal. So you balance either
side, right like the, the lap sack, you know, you balance either
side of those. So in this life, it's approximate, because if human
beings are entrusted to that, then we're just trying to maintain a
balance with Allah subhanaw, Taala and Clyst.
It's not just balancing, it's not a balancing act is completely just
so no one gets wrong in the next slide. Right? So, you know, we
can't compare ourselves obviously to the sahaba. And the ones who
came after them in their taqwa in their, you know, proximity to the
Prophet SAW Selim, but nevertheless, you know, we should
have Hosni done with suspicion, good hope, you know that Allah
subhanaw taala will justice according to, you know, our own
particular circumstances. It should not be a crutch, we lean on
either, right? We shouldn't say, you know, I live in this place,
and there's no good Muslims around me. So, what's the point I
shouldn't do that either. You know, we strive we struggle, we
continue to try to maintain and,
you know, because that's what Allah asks of us.
Know, he always he exhorts us to try to reach Taqwa to try to go
towards this. And ultimately, if you don't reach it, right, for
whatever reason, or there's something preventing us from doing
it, allow someone to others to merciful than to, you know, take
us into account on something that was outside of our control, if it
really was outside of, you know, what we would say outside the Mac
control, but outside of the
understanding of tech leaf, of what we're going to be held
morally responsible for. So hence, the insane person, the sleeping
person, the unconscious person. In other words, if we don't have our
faculties all together there, then we're not judged.
And I think you can think of it as the completely insane person is
completely not judged. In other words, they have complete total
loss of intellect. They have no ability to discern right from
wrong. And now we live in an age where there's, you know, I get
asked the question all the time, well, there are people who are not
like really insane, but they're like schizophrenic or they have
you know, they're on meds and they're on, they got mental
issues, you can't really say they're completely insane. So are
they McAuliffe? Are they morally responsible? Are they not? I can't
answer that question, Allah Allah. But I think we can infer that, at
the very least.
If they have Domitian, diminished capacity, right to do certain
things and do things then I can't imagine that Allah subhanaw taala
will not judge them according to whatever diminished capacity that
they have, especially something they bring on themselves. It's
just, you know,
a byproduct of their circumstances.
A lot, you know, but what we do know is that there is no
injustice, no one will be no one will feel any injustice in the
next life.
And, in fact,
if Allah were to deal with us by His agony by His justice, we'd all
be in trouble. Right? None of us would enter paradise if that were
the case. But if he deals with us by His mercy with his mug, Farah,
then we're hopeful. Right? Because that means he's gonna let a lot of
things go. Why offline, cuz he, right. He pardons many things.
This is where we keep our hope.
I think I wanted to just clarify, like,
if you're looking at your situation, and and you have, wow,
when I was young, I could have done all the things that I didn't
and now at this point in my life, where it's really hard to just,
you know, throw everything away and
go over to Middle East and learn and become like really scholarly,
right? So knowing I do want to really aim high, but understanding
that it's going to take to get there.
What I'm trying to understand is like,
is this matter of like wanting to not being able to
you know, I don't want to be in situations where like, I should
have done something did it but I don't know if I should stop what
I'm doing to school trying to catch up.
To be honest with you, I think you kind of have the frame, you
framing issues in a frame that I think you
If
it's too hard on yourself,
yeah, I mean, plus, to be completely honest with you, this
notion that people have is like, you know, leave everything and go
to Middle East and study and
it's not happening.
The way the Middle East is right now, no one has gone there
anymore. And I don't advocate anyone go over there. There's no
country I can recommend the countries are studied in are a
mess. I can't point you to any place to go to do that. You know,
and I think, at this point,
as Americans living in America, we're kind of on our own.
Right, there's no, seriously, there's no,
you know?
Yeah, there's plenty of people who studied there, for whatever period
of time short time a long time doesn't matter. But, you know, we
have to kind of get things done here. Right, people will come
back, and then, you know, people go to a few classes of theirs. And
they like, wow, I want to do that too. Well, why don't you help the
person who's actually back. And you know, some of them are parking
cars, and trying to do other stuff to feed their family. And, you
know, you want one often, or at least to know, stay here and
establish something that will serve the needs of the Muslims
here. Right? You know, you're specific, for example, I'll put
you in a position where you're supporting the first Muslim, full
fledged Muslim college in the United States. It's not an
accident, right, put you there for a reason, right. And it's open up
things for you and things that you've seen things that we
realized, now your billing experience with that maybe who
knows where that's going to take take you. So everybody's going to
serve in different ways. Don't think that the, the epitome of,
of having the best relationship with hospital data means, you
know, throwing everything away, and then moving to a village in
Yemen.
You know, people really want to do that, I'm not going to discourage
them, they're free to do that. But don't think that you have to do
that. Or even that's actually the thing that you need to do, in
order to fulfill what you think is the best thing to do with your
life. The best thing to do with your life is where Allah has put
you look around and see, where can I serve? Where can I help. So
where you are, is where you're supposed to be not supposed to be
anywhere else. And if you're supposed to be somewhere else,
then Allah will put you in that place.
Right? So they say, like, don't don't hope for this place, or that
place or this thing, because Allah doesn't need you to hope for it
for him to take you there. If he wanted you there, he puts you
there. He wants you here
was talking, it helped me to remember
to reflect on the Federal Reserve
Board, especially when we were discussing the function of angels
are we to understand that is your angels that you fully induce that
are
also made circumference from ourselves and
from angels, as an act of
forgiveness, and appearance, and perhaps just reflecting? Because
it's a very generous blessing
to your relationship?
Perhaps.
I agree. Yeah. Yeah, that's true.
I mean, here you see something that many Muslims have taken to go
towards the scientific neurological aspect of things, but
to me, I'm looking at Mercy like Subhanallah from the womb, Allah
was taking care of us, right from the womb, he had an angel who was
there, taking the, you know, the commands from the last panel data.
So what's the angel speaking here says y'all sing my Lord Allah?
Should I make it an alpaca?
Right, should this come together and become alaka? Right, because
not every sperm that means every over egg fertilizes, right? What
did they say the chances are one in what like a billion of them
happen or something like that. So not every single one happens, but
there's an angel there. And Allah says yes. Right. That's, that's a
that's a choice. Allah made a choice. He mean, for you to
happen.
What bigger blessing is that than that? When you think about it,
right. There are a billion other sperm and not billion eggs. Every
woman has
few 100 I think right. But any of those combinations could have been
someone completely different than not you
But Allah chose you. And then to move on to the next stages as well
right to become other classes fertilized and hooked to the womb
to become a bodega. Right, mocha Lata. And as soon as he says was
ready to Mocha, there are some that don't don't make it that far.
Right. And then it tests were conducted in Santa Fe as any duck
we, the duck women building in the perfect sense. And then enough for
roar. And then the blowing of the soul the spirit, which is divine
in origin,
right, which is unseen, which is part of the meta cootie world meta
equity realm, not part of this earthly realm. All of these things
are, can or understood in their huge immense blessings, it it
gives you an idea of actually who you are.
Right? You're not just some blip in the universe that's
insignificant. Like they want us to think
it's not like because it's not about size, it's not about
quantity, the soul itself, the human soul is something that that
can't be quantified. It can't be measured. It can't be
circumscribed to something particular. It's given
immortality.
Once that soul goes in the womb, you're immortal.
Right? He gave you a mortality
so
just a brief note on the microcosm and the macrocosm. So you're
describing the,
the human being, and how it develops. This hadith doesn't
mention it. But the Quran certainly mentions that
after the full formation of
the body and the soul, and then it's born, and it grows up, but
then something comes after that.
For McLaughlin was Shiva
Muharram.
There'll be weakness. There'll be growing old, and then haram out of
that Ilhan Omar, as the Quran talks about, which is the low nev
the lowest.
Not the lowest form, but sort of the lowest experience of life when
people reach that really old age, when there are barely functioning
now, right, the capacity to understand things, to hear things
to see things physically even, is diminished. And it's a sign for
us. Right? So just as the microcosm, we can see that it
decays, and eventually will diminish and not be there anymore.
The same thing will happen with a macrocosm with the world with the
universe. It's the same thing, the one who was capable of doing that,
and showing that to us, right, it's cyclical.
Today, driving, I can see the trees blooming and you know,
spring is coming to life, but in a few months, all that will be gone.
And then the same thing will happen next year. These are all
signs for someone to reflect. Right? Allah could have made it
not like that could have been completely different. Right? But
this unity in the universe, the toe heat, right between the
macrocosm, the celestial realm, and the microcosm, us the
terrestrial realm, and then even all the things within the
terrestrial realm. All that unity all of that though hate, right?
The
the soulless ones want to call it natural selection. But we say
that's Divine selection. Right? Allah chose all of that perfectly
imperfect order, perfect cosmic order, both above and below.
Despite what people think that looks like chaos and looks like
this order, but it's all part of the most vital data history part
of his plan.
So, we should reflect on ourselves to reflect on the universe in the
world itself.
Right? And even if we said we do say the universe had a birth,
there was nothing then there was the universe. Right? And the Quran
seems to indicate that for example, Canada Summer went to
another outcome for fat Oklahoma, was the nominal many color, shape
and height
that the heavens and the earth
were 1/5 Oklahoma, then we separated them. And we made
everything we brought life out from the water, or John lemon and
Matt equals chain Hi. So that indicates that there was a
development of the universe. Right? So it was nothing. You want
to call what happened next, the Big Bang, fine, whatever. I don't
know what happened, but it certainly it was nothing. Then
Allah created it began to form. The Quran indicates it was six
days, not days, like our days, but those six days are symbolic
of that Allah Swatara. He chose, he chose to create it
in developmental stages, just like he chose to create us in
developmental stages, because you can just say, confer cool, you can
say, and it will be, he could have made us, you know,
born as adults,
like Mork and Mindy.
Only one person got that reference. And that was a person I
thought, who would get it to learn if you know what I'm talking
about, right? See,
you're showing your age
so, but he chose for us to develop over stages, just like he chose
for the universe. Right, and that end of that area Organa met equal
to Shanghai epilepsy rune. So that you may reflect So just as we
reflect on this, reflect on that,
and that's what they mean by the book of creation.
Kitab and mustard Wakita when makuu there's a book that's in
line with the Quran, but it's indicates to you what's going on
in the whole book of creation. So you need to read both books. If
you only read one, you'll be deficient, you don't understand.
But you read both. And you see them really as
single source the both of them Allah subhanaw taala by the Quran
is Kalam Allah, it's Allah speech is how he communicates to us via
language. Whereas this is also another way that Allah
communicates to us.
So
think we'll move on to the next one.
One last thing, actually, that won't point out is the last part
of this hadith
for your double fee botany or Miki, so it's written in the belly
or the abdomen of his mother.
That's not insignificant, either. That or all the places a lot
smaller chose to symbolize because this was already obviously in a
lot of my food and a sacred tablet before we can create it, what was
going to happen to us and when and all of that, but he chose to
manifest it in the moon of the mother. Right, and such a lofty
and weighty thing to be manifested in the womb of the mother. Right?
And agenda to that to abdomen or Mahat. And Jana is at
the perilous is at the feet of the mothers. So, motherhood in general
even is it's a it's it's an indescribable thing. I can't
describe it, because I'll never have it. But those who are and
when you have that embryo, that fetus, that human being developing
inside of you, and Allah chose the mother for that particular
purpose, right? How can anyone after that kind of diminish the
importance of that role? Right, and it's, and its souls are being
formed, right, and souls what's, what's going to be written for
them, what's going to happen to them taking place inside that
human being inside the womb of the mother. And so the place of the
mother is, is very lofty in its name. It's something that can't be
can't be overemphasized. The importance of it.
And it's only by relation of the Father to that role is he included
as well.
So for example, it's known as filial piety, but it's translated
from the Arabic bit and Wally Dane.
The well it or the world leader, is the one who bears the child. In
reality, that's really only the mother.
Right? Because one of the well it means the one that is born, so the
husband, or the father has a secondary role in that he doesn't
technically bear the child but because of his relationship to the
mother, he's by extension, by extension, given that piety or
that good behavior that should be on the part of the children
towards the parent. And that's why in the prophets I send them when
someone asked him who should the one I should have most emphasis on
my companionship towards he said, Oh milk, and then your mother and
then your mother three times. Then he said the Father. So chose it.
So it's by extension that the father comes from that. When you
find in the Quran, it talks about Everlane though.
An OB is the father. elaborate plan means father and mother but
who's the primary here? The father were in the Quran doesn't say a
billy
In what context
I was gonna give a prize no one's kidding. It
talks about it in the context of inheritance.
In the context of inheritance, it says it Abilene with me why he
Misaka
sort of thing is that yeah, so they said the reason for this is
because really the primary person that you're inheriting from being
that the Father is one who is supposed to provide for the family
and so the emphasis on him having an estate and earning a living. So
he is seen as the primary
focus of those verses because they deal with inheritance, whereas the
mother is secondary. So it didn't say you were leading, but it said
avoiding
Hello Allah.
So the next Hadith we have some time right 10 minutes I think.
The next three Hadith which I think we'll try to get through
tonight, are all somewhat related. But we're going to see in sha
Allah how they differ and how they compare.
So this one
and jevelin Abdullah kabisa Eden are the law in Houma, suddenly,
philosophy and at UCLA remaini. Well, Kyle Hudson, to solidly call
him and Maryland to show Karla as Harvick to Guru Maha Illa fucka
Eden
so German Abu side prayed, snared on them on a boat standing at
Hudson, who is the grandson of the Prophet SAW Selim said.
It could be hustle and bustle, I'm not 100% sure about that.
I'm not 100% Sure.
So either has an adversity because usually when they say it has an
it's referring to a hustle and bustle.
But I don't have here and
it doesn't say here specifically.
So I'll have to verify that
brace there, so it hasn't said pre standing so as long as it is not
difficult, on your companions, otherwise, sitting.
So first, we see in this hadith, there's no reference to whom
direct reference to the prophets ourselves, no direct reference to
him. Nevertheless, it's one of the hadith of a memorable Hari.
And nevertheless, it's seen as a Hoja as something where we can
understand how to live our deen from the acts of the Sahaba
themselves, even though the prophesy centum is not mentioned
directly. And the prophets I sent him he has narrative said as hobby
can resume, via EMF today to meta data. They're like the stars,
whichever ones that you follow,
you will be guided. And so there's varying levels of
difference of opinion amongst the four schools of thought about the
level by which we take the actions of the Sahaba to be a proof, but
all of the more or less acknowledged that it is a type of
valid proof, but they differ about when it seemingly contradicts with
something else. So that's something else take precedence or
not. So the fall of the act of the Sahaba is considered to be
legislative
especially when it's understood that that particular acts were
done during the lifetime of the province. In fact, it was done
during the lifetime of is clearly says that they did it during the
lifetime of the province I love like like the the Hadith we're
gonna read later about praying prostrating on top of your
clothing, they say quoting Saudi femininity, or we used to do this
in the time of the Prophet when they say that then that indicates
that it is not just an act of the Sahaba anymore, but it's a sunnah
of the Prophet Muhammad SAW I said, Why? Because we can't allow
we can understand that they would have done that except either the
prophets I send them if it was not right, he would have told them so.
So his silence as we said, indicates his approval about
something if it happened during his
lifetime.
So anyway, this hadith is is interesting to me because
it gives us an idea of
one as
I just mentioned the idea of the sahaba. And their acts and what
they do as being authoritative, and to how we were, how we were to
understand those particular acts even a generation or two after
they happen. So
I will say the holy and Jabber, they were two of the sahaba. And
they prayed and prayed and about standing up.
We could leave the text at that.
Right? And we can just say, if you're in a boat, you have to pray
standing up.
And that's it at that the signal hasn't, whether it's it hasn't and
possibly most likely, it hasn't possibly said that. He had to add
an addendum to this a note
to this particular Hadith. So he says to suddenly call a man man
and to show cause havoc. So Dumas elaphe applied, and he had to do
what exactly what is he doing here? He's
clarifying. In other words, he's telling people don't understand
that hadith.
Literally, you can't understand it, literally. Because if you
understand it, literally, then you might go outside. What is the
predominant aspect of the Shinya Sharia somehow, which is a
forgiving Shediac? Not one that is unduly harsh, because if you take
it literally, you might have some undo.
You might bring about some undue harshness on people when it's not
called for. So it's predicated on the idea you want to pray standing
up if you're able to do so MELHEM to Chaka Allah as harvick as long
as you don't bring undue difficulty
upon your companions,
but even that needs to be interpreted, right, because what's
my chakra? What's difficulty?
What does that mean? If I'm to take it literally,
I would say, Well, I'm pretty hungry right now. And it'd be
difficult for me to stand either way, either sitting down or
praying or sitting down or standing up. And,
you know, I'd rather just eat, and I don't want to go to that
difficulty. And yeah, it's difficult, I have to bend down.
And you know, what, that's difficult.
For that person could be difficult. Is that difficulty
considered or not? So again, if you take it literally, you can
also go outside the understanding of what this difficulty is to be.
So to properly understand the original action of Jabba Satan,
the devil, and I will say it.
One, we have to know what the other automat said about it,
namely, someone like it has an adversity. And also
someone like Bihari, or even though we genre will read who saw
this, and they described us well, what's machaca? What's difficulty,
right, hardship, and they define hardship. Hardship means real
hardship,
you know, like, fear of loss of life, or loss of limb, or loss of
faculty. These are the true hardships, that type of hardship.
Or, in this particular case, a hardship to the extent that
you will not be able to complete the prayer, you just couldn't who
become so dizzy or you become nauseous, seasick, and you will
wind up, you know, vomiting and not doing the prayer. So
obviously, we're not to pray to the extent where we feel
completely seasick and then continue nonetheless standing up
and try to face the Clippers we're doing so because we,
we feel nauseous. So the machaca here has, it's qualified and you
can only be qualified in the extent if you take it and
understanding with all of the lawsuits, all of the other texts
by this hadith alone, you probably cannot determine what difficulty
actually is, to what extent but if you understand it in the context
of the concept of Morocco, or difficulty in the Sharia to begin
with, which is only something and understanding of Allah and that
can deliver to us then you understand what is meant by this
hadith.
So
do we have time and I think it's time
Psalm 54.
Okay, so try to finish this hadith.
So that's one point about this hadith. The other one is,
and this will be the recurrent theme in the next two Hadith after
this is
they were doing something or
it's advocated to do something, namely the turning towards the
Qibla, which is what it hasn't added. It's something that seems
outside of the normal acts of the prayer.
Because when I'm in the prayer, I face the Qibla
Am I supposed to turn in any direction while I'm praying? not
ordinarily. I am not. So here.
It hasn't says you are to turn with the boat to face the Qibla if
you can.
But no, ordinarily, that's an act that you wouldn't do. From
standing here in the Mojave, I'm not gonna turn left and right.
fact that would probably invalidate my prayer if it was
done to the extent that it looks like I'm not praying anymore,
according to the Maliki's or to the shofar is, if I do it, like
three movements in a row that are not from the prayer then it would
invalidate the prayer. So here we're talking about doing things
that may be extraneous to the prayer, but if there's a valid
reason behind them, so the valid reason here is that you're doing
it for the prayer, not for any other reason.
So one were on the boat, and they were to turn left and right,
because they're trying to hear what someone is saying to them.
That's an invalidating act likely, but if they're turning to stay
with the clip, that it's not, so depends on the reason why there is
this, what they call the laminate alias here, while there is some
slight extraneous movement to the prayer. So if it's for the
integrity of the prayer for the validity of the prayer, then it's
allowed, right? Like normally, if we're praying behind an Imam, and
he makes a mistake, he doesn't rise from
he doesn't sit down for the shahada in the middle and
whatever. What do we do?
We Say Subhan Allah, which is not alien to the prayer because the
prayer is DUA and vicar and so forth. But however, it's normally
not something you would say out of turn within the prayer. But we do
it why the edge of the Salah because of the prayer itself to
maintain the integrity of the prayer itself.
Similarly, if they said that, if you are praying and someone
knocks, this is fine, and some of the hand a few books, if you're
praying and someone knocks on the door, and you want to let them in
what you do, they said, if you're at a point in the prayer, we could
read a verse, he said, Read the verse that would indicate to them
that they're allowed to come in, like Gulu, he said, I mean, I
mean,
which was referring to Egypt, but here he said, enter, you know,
with peace, and tranquility. And then the person after all, I get
it, he's praying, but he wants me to come in and
that was something else that they mentioned in the, in the face of
it. So it seems like we'll stop here in sha Allah will continue
with this after so
