The speaker discusses the confusion surrounding the claim that Allah loves all of the people, but the actual claim is false because the definition of god is unseen to the individual. The speaker suggests that the person who submits and disobtains is the same person as the person who submits and disobtains, and that the gut feeling of Islam is based on the Prophet peace be upon him. The speaker also suggests that the person who gives gifts to their wife is the same person as the person who submits and disobtains.

			Okay, good question. This claim
that Allah to Allah loves all of
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:09
			His creation is partly true and
partly has a false meaning. In
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:14
			Allah Allah Allah Allah Abadi will
cover, Allah is not pleased with
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:20
			his, he's not pleased when his
creation goes down a wrong path
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:24
			meaning the human being, because
firstly, his, you know animals and
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			things, they don't have choice in
the first place. So it is correct
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:31
			that Allah does have a love for
them to be guided. But the phrase,
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:35
			if the phrase is that he loves
them, as is unconditionally This
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			is false. This is not true. Why is
it not true? Because you can't
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42
			make a claim about Allah Tada, who
are you to? Someone hired you to
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45
			be his lawyer, to be his
spokesperson, who was his
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:49
			spokesperson, the prophets. Like
this is a knowledge you can't
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			guess. You can't just have
feelings about God and think it's
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:57
			truth. God is unseen to you. The
only way you know anything about
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00
			him that's actually true, is by is
not by gut feelings is by
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:05
			prophets. So what the Quran and
the Hadith say that's what is true
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			about God, my gut feeling about
God is not necessarily true. It
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			could be true, but it needs
confirmation from a prophet. So
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			the Prophet peace be upon him says
this hadith. And this is the
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:18
			Quran, that Allah is not pleased
with his servants, to be in
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21
			disbelief, that he wants them to
be in belief, he loves for them to
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:25
			be in belief, or to be in the
good, and belief is the greatest
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:29
			of good, right? So from that
aspect, it's true from the aspect
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			that if you're trying to sell it
to me that he loves everyone
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:35
			unconditionally. So therefore, the
one who submits and the one who
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			doesn't submit is the same. The
one who obeys and the one who
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			disobeyed at the same while we
have so many eyes on the Quran
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			says lations.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			They're not the same, right?
Whoever thinks that they're the
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			same as made a misjudgment, and
many of us have a lineage that I
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			will say at the end add on Kenda
Dean, I'm gonna I'm gonna start
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:51
			ahead. So
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:56
			you think that the one who he does
sins all day, and the one who's
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:00
			pious all day, that they're going
to have the same results? Right,
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:04
			same reaction. That's not the same
unless they make Toba unless they
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:08
			repent and change their ways. So
this is the real question is, the
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:12
			sign of Divine Love is following
the Prophet peace be upon him?
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			Allah subhana which Allah gives us
an a verse of love, and he says,
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:20
			say, if you truly love Allah, then
follow the Prophet.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25
			Okay, follow the Prophet. That is
a sign that you truly love Allah,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:29
			I want to express my love for
Allah, how? Not how I want to,
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:33
			okay, if someone loves me, can you
give me the gift that he wants? Or
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			the gift that I want? Right? If
you're gonna give a gift to your
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:40
			wife, do you give her the gift
that you want? Right? Or the gift
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:44
			that she wants? I got you tickets
to the Baltimore Orioles game. Oh,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			really? That for you or for me?
For me or for you? Right? That's a
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:52
			gift for you. That's not something
that she wants. Okay? So likewise,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:55
			you worship Allah as he wants, not
how you want, you might think
		
00:02:55 --> 00:03:01
			something is good, but it's not.
So this idea of gut feeling,
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:06
			religion is just, it has no
substance. Their gut feeling does
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:10
			have a basis in religion. When you
don't know something. The Prophet
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:13
			made it clear. If you don't know
something, you have no knowledge,
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:18
			no recourse to ask, no way to
learn. Then go with your gut.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:22
			Which means if Ask your heart,
when in the absence of knowledge
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:26
			when I have no other choice, but
otherwise, our God is not a
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:30
			spokesperson for God, do you have
a book he sent us a book he sent
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:33
			us a prophet he sent to scholars
to analyze what this text actually
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			mean. Okay, and then that's the
true meaning.
