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

ciruit Baba, we, alright, why is it one of the best you always

00:00:34 --> 00:00:37

learn something yet at the same time? It's not long winded.

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40

Neither is it what, jeez, very thin.

00:00:42 --> 00:00:47

Nor is it there's too much to Weststar or expansion on every

00:00:47 --> 00:00:51

single little subject that would make you feel that you're not

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

actually

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

progressing in the reading No. tafsir is never about.

00:00:59 --> 00:01:04

It's never really about advancing quickly in anything. Okay, but

00:01:04 --> 00:01:07

here we are. And we shall read from Pseudotsuga. When that

segment number one, segment number two, I'm going to read from

00:01:13 --> 00:01:18

critical, the divine for critical minds, again, an inquiry into

00:01:18 --> 00:01:22

God's existence. It's going to be segment numero dos. Segment Number

00:01:22 --> 00:01:25

three, I'm going to read from a little dot book actually made for

00:01:25 --> 00:01:31

children. But you should never see a dot book, except that you read

00:01:31 --> 00:01:35

something from it. Right read and you never know which door is going

00:01:35 --> 00:01:38

to be accepted and do not is something that should never

00:01:39 --> 00:01:43

be taken for granted. Or oh, I know this. It's not about knowing,

00:01:43 --> 00:01:48

constantly non stop. supplication is our way and that is the way

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51

that is what Allah wants from us. That is what Allah loves from us.

00:01:52 --> 00:01:53

Okay, so let's open up

00:01:54 --> 00:01:58

all the different chats to see who we got on board today. We had a

00:01:58 --> 00:02:02

great audience yesterday and a

00:02:04 --> 00:02:12

lot of interaction on the stream. Okay. And let us open up instance

00:02:12 --> 00:02:15

and make sure everyone's here by the way, did you guys see Maureen?

00:02:16 --> 00:02:19

Meet you know, Maureen from the from the original Sofia society

00:02:19 --> 00:02:22

podcast. Did you guys see Maureen's

00:02:24 --> 00:02:27

the stuff that he's putting up on Instagram? He's become like, a

00:02:27 --> 00:02:31

carpenter. Right? He's become a carpenter.

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

The Christians are gonna get upset with you. You're rivaling there.

00:02:36 --> 00:02:39

You know, he's become a really he's big. It's impressive.

00:02:39 --> 00:02:40

Absolutely.

00:02:41 --> 00:02:43

All right, he just monitor him.

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

Ka here macchia Illa Allah

00:02:51 --> 00:02:52

Allah Falletta

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

it is a Meccan Surah

00:03:00 --> 00:03:05

Surah it's a tough baboon. It's a Meccan Surah minus three is which

00:03:05 --> 00:03:09

are Yeah, you're letting me know in a minute as magical until the

00:03:09 --> 00:03:17

end. Okay, so the last three ideas are not are from Medina. Okay. The

00:03:17 --> 00:03:22

last three eyes are from Edina. The rest of the SUTA is mucky.

00:03:23 --> 00:03:27

And he begins by saying regarding the first two ads Bismillah R

00:03:27 --> 00:03:31

Rahman r Rahim you said Behold, EMF is similar to Murphy's Law

00:03:31 --> 00:03:35

Homolka Allah Al Hamdulillah, who Allah Felicia and Kadir who Allah

00:03:35 --> 00:03:40

the Calaca, confirming carefully Ruhlman commitment will long be

00:03:40 --> 00:03:41

met by Luna Belsey

00:03:43 --> 00:03:48

Caleb nobis in Allah halacha Benny Adam Mina and McAfee era from

00:03:48 --> 00:03:51

mejor E to whom yarmulke Yama Tikka Masala, Cava Mina kathira.

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

Who will lead the kala Coco hickory created you. All right,

00:03:57 --> 00:04:02

and some of you are men and some of you are careful. And that is

00:04:02 --> 00:04:07

always what boggles the minds of many people who try to think about

00:04:07 --> 00:04:12

this. And sometimes I think they are looking for errors in the deen

00:04:12 --> 00:04:15

and saying, oh, Allah created me a catheter, then what's the point?

00:04:16 --> 00:04:19

We say to you look, is your lived experience? Do you have choices or

00:04:19 --> 00:04:22

not? Man came to one of the scholars and said this. So the

00:04:22 --> 00:04:26

scholar took a rock and he hit him with it. Right? And you know, what

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28

are you doing this for? Because I'm asking questions. It was

00:04:28 --> 00:04:28

written.

00:04:29 --> 00:04:33

It was destined that I throw rocks at you is that it's not an excuse.

00:04:33 --> 00:04:36

Okay? It's not an excuse for me. It's not excuse for you. What is

00:04:36 --> 00:04:41

the lived experience discussion over the lived experience here is

00:04:41 --> 00:04:46

that we have choices. That's what matters. We have enough of that. A

00:04:46 --> 00:04:52

will to render us innocent or guilty. Could you imagine if

00:04:53 --> 00:04:54

this

00:04:55 --> 00:04:59

sense of pure predestination or this understanding or

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

misunderstanding

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

predestination was admitted into law.

00:05:04 --> 00:05:07

It was innocent than, well, he's not guilty. There's no innocence

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

and guilt. He just that's just his DNA made him do it. This is the

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

podria. The Korea or the jabariya. There's a group called the Jabra

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

way back in Islamic history. Jeopardy means force. We get the

00:05:21 --> 00:05:25

word algebra from that, too. So if I say x plus three equals five,

00:05:26 --> 00:05:31

that equation forces x to be two, right? Two plus two equals five.

00:05:31 --> 00:05:36

So Jabra is force. So the jebadiah believed we're forced to do

00:05:36 --> 00:05:37

everything.

00:05:38 --> 00:05:43

That's what they believed. So they were refuted. And the opposite

00:05:43 --> 00:05:46

side was the cutter, you know, every even Allah doesn't

00:05:47 --> 00:05:52

know what's gonna happen tomorrow. We do our actions, all of our

00:05:52 --> 00:05:57

actions. So that these are the two extremes, the Khazaria no cutter,

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

and the Jabra, everything is forced today, to Djibouti, we do

00:06:01 --> 00:06:04

have a new version of the jabariya. And the new version of

00:06:04 --> 00:06:09

the jabariya. They're the they're usually the biologists. And they

00:06:09 --> 00:06:10

hold that

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

you're just wired to do what you're doing. Right with your

00:06:16 --> 00:06:20

wiring. Put in this setting, you're going to produce this

00:06:20 --> 00:06:26

result with your with your wiring the way Habib is wired, given all

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

the factors that he's been handed in life, he has no option except

00:06:32 --> 00:06:36

to do what he's doing now. Right? To react the way he's reacting. We

00:06:36 --> 00:06:40

said, well, how do you know that? Right? They, they laugh off free?

00:06:40 --> 00:06:44

Will that that you have a Free Will they laugh it off? So we do

00:06:44 --> 00:06:49

have a modern version of the jabariya the Asuna state and the

00:06:49 --> 00:06:54

data of Islam states you do have enough of a choice in your actions

00:06:54 --> 00:06:59

within a set confines that Allah created for you, guy to take

00:06:59 --> 00:07:07

action that renders you innocent or guilty. Okay. And, and Allah

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

knows this in advance. That's it.

00:07:11 --> 00:07:15

Designed by Allah Jabri and Korea. Yes, you spelled it correctly. You

00:07:15 --> 00:07:15

got it right.

00:07:17 --> 00:07:20

Okay, so this is what we say you have enough freewill.

00:07:21 --> 00:07:22

All right.

00:07:23 --> 00:07:27

That you can be rendered innocent or guilty. And in Islam, we

00:07:27 --> 00:07:31

elevate free will very highly when it comes to our own action.

00:07:32 --> 00:07:37

And that does not in any way impugn the knowledge of Allah,

00:07:37 --> 00:07:41

that Allah has knowledge of what we were doing and that our actions

00:07:41 --> 00:07:46

are created by Allah subhanho wa taala. And we, we earned them, let

00:07:46 --> 00:07:52

him a cassava 20 Makossa but it has what it earns, okay. And Allah

00:07:52 --> 00:07:56

says Calaca como Mata Malone, He created you and your actions.

00:07:56 --> 00:08:01

These are two verses that's that outline our Aveda. Regarding God's

00:08:01 --> 00:08:06

knowledge, predestination and freewill. So what do we have

00:08:06 --> 00:08:10

something called cast, we do not create our own actions, Allah

00:08:10 --> 00:08:15

creates them, but we earn them by intending them. Okay? And the

00:08:15 --> 00:08:16

intentions

00:08:18 --> 00:08:22

i may intend something yet Allah doesn't create it. Right? How

00:08:22 --> 00:08:27

many? How many times you tried to do something and didn't do it? So

00:08:27 --> 00:08:34

you intended it. Okay. But Allah did not create it for you. So if

00:08:34 --> 00:08:37

it was a good deed, you get the good deed to get the reward of the

00:08:37 --> 00:08:37

good deed.

00:08:39 --> 00:08:42

And if it was a bad did, you don't get the reward or the punishment

00:08:42 --> 00:08:46

of the bad deed. So Allah says, Lahoma cuz of it, what's so ever

00:08:46 --> 00:08:49

you intent, Allah give you a portion of that reward. And then

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

if you do do it, that's called tofield that you and made a good

00:08:52 --> 00:08:57

intention. And Allah gave you what you were looking for. Okay?

00:08:57 --> 00:08:58

created it for you.

00:08:59 --> 00:09:03

So, and there are certain there are things Allah commanded us to

00:09:03 --> 00:09:08

do. Right He created for us, whether we like it or not, not

00:09:08 --> 00:09:11

commanded us who created it for us, whether we like it or not,

00:09:12 --> 00:09:14

such as US existing in this century.

00:09:15 --> 00:09:20

He didn't create create for us to exist, before or after. So that's

00:09:20 --> 00:09:23

why I said we're in a sandbox Allah creates for us parameters.

00:09:24 --> 00:09:27

We are here obeying Allah or disobeying him, I have the choice

00:09:27 --> 00:09:34

to obey or disobey. Okay? Here at this moment at this location on

00:09:34 --> 00:09:36

this planet, and let's say, your location, I could change my

00:09:36 --> 00:09:41

location if I wanted, right? But at this time, I can't change time.

00:09:41 --> 00:09:45

I can't change this planet. Right humanity is created on this

00:09:45 --> 00:09:50

planet, not on Neptune or Pluto, or Mercury or Venus. So we have

00:09:50 --> 00:09:54

parameters. Allah created me as this type of figure created us

00:09:54 --> 00:09:58

that figure that figure everyone's created with their own figure.

00:09:58 --> 00:09:59

Alright, no choice

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

Now you have choice in how you handle we talked about the

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

prophets I saw him yesterday, tending to his body.

00:10:07 --> 00:10:12

That's why you a little bit off the subject, it is possible to

00:10:12 --> 00:10:18

demean or criticize appearances. Right? And is not criticizing the

00:10:18 --> 00:10:21

creation of Allah. Because a person may have a terrible

00:10:21 --> 00:10:26

appearance. That's not how Allah didn't create you. All right, and

00:10:26 --> 00:10:30

disallow you to comb your hair, for example, or trim your beard or

00:10:30 --> 00:10:34

trim your hair or iron your clothes. Right, someone once said

00:10:34 --> 00:10:38

how terrible it is someone who was overweight, as a Don't make fun of

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40

the creation of Allah and the person responded, Allah didn't

00:10:40 --> 00:10:46

create you overweight, you ate, and you didn't move, right. So

00:10:46 --> 00:10:50

there is within everything that Allah created for us a little

00:10:50 --> 00:10:55

realm of control, or we shouldn't we can say cusp, we can take

00:10:55 --> 00:10:59

action in that we can move in that. Right so that's the basic

00:10:59 --> 00:11:05

understanding the parameters of how we understand freewill and

00:11:05 --> 00:11:12

God's knowledge. Okay, what do we know and if not bus and wave and

00:11:12 --> 00:11:17

cab the Great's companion who is second most knowledgeable about

00:11:17 --> 00:11:20

the Quran after even our best is obey bencab

00:11:21 --> 00:11:25

Kala kala Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the Noble

00:11:25 --> 00:11:28

Messenger of Allah peace be upon him said in nettle golem and Lydia

00:11:28 --> 00:11:32

Catella hula Cadila alayhi salam to be IKEA Farah.

00:11:33 --> 00:11:35

The youth that

00:11:37 --> 00:11:38

got her killed,

00:11:39 --> 00:11:44

was made to be a KEF Allah created him and stamped him as a KEF.

00:11:45 --> 00:11:50

Why is that? Because do not imagine that this is why it's so

00:11:50 --> 00:11:54

important the 10 Z okay. The 10 Z

00:11:56 --> 00:11:58

of Allah from time

00:11:59 --> 00:12:03

Allah subhana, which Allah is not in the time that we live in, in

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

the sense of experiencing,

00:12:06 --> 00:12:11

past, present and future. We are on a timeline because we are

00:12:11 --> 00:12:15

material things anything material must exist in a timeline. And

00:12:15 --> 00:12:19

there is no timeline without material things. Good time. The

00:12:19 --> 00:12:25

timeline is a sub is a function of matter. Very simple thing. Time is

00:12:25 --> 00:12:29

a function of matter if there's no matter there's no time. If as soon

00:12:29 --> 00:12:30

as there's matter, there's time.

00:12:32 --> 00:12:36

This is what the we call this McKeen McKean, is you exist in

00:12:36 --> 00:12:41

time space. And Allah subhanaw taala is the creator of that.

00:12:42 --> 00:12:49

Hence he is Munez transcendence, from that transcend and beyond

00:12:49 --> 00:12:53

time. Therefore, when Allah to Allah says a statement with a

00:12:53 --> 00:12:56

prophesy centum says a statement like this, that Allah stamp that

00:12:56 --> 00:13:00

he's a Kaffir Okay, that is not a poem that is not forcing him,

00:13:01 --> 00:13:03

because what Allah is deeming

00:13:04 --> 00:13:09

is not living today and tomorrow, the way we are, all right, he is

00:13:09 --> 00:13:11

seeing the final results.

00:13:13 --> 00:13:17

God is created with his knowledge already the final result of your

00:13:17 --> 00:13:22

choices. So therefore, it is accurate and not a contradictory

00:13:23 --> 00:13:29

to the, the freewill of a human being. It is a contradiction if

00:13:29 --> 00:13:32

you misunderstand Allah and you imagine that Allah is existing

00:13:32 --> 00:13:32

like us

00:13:33 --> 00:13:38

today, not knowing about tomorrow, etcetera, etcetera. Okay. It's not

00:13:38 --> 00:13:39

a transcendent or Munez.

00:13:41 --> 00:13:46

transcendent, the Arabic of that is Munez transcend it means beyond

00:13:46 --> 00:13:48

something, it does not apply to him at all.

00:13:50 --> 00:13:54

As they said, Is God connected to the universe or disconnected is

00:13:54 --> 00:13:59

near or far we say the question is wrong. The question implies that

00:13:59 --> 00:14:03

he is material and somewhere hovering around the universe. So

00:14:03 --> 00:14:04

he is Munez.

00:14:05 --> 00:14:09

Transcendent beyond this question, transcendent it does not apply to

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

him, because Allah is not composed of matter. So 10 Z is trend is the

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

concept of transcendence. And Vanessa is the description of

00:14:19 --> 00:14:20

being transcendent.

co Famille agile factor with Erica V. Bethenny Omi. Let's go first to

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

the section and read or reread your V ever read it 50 times it,

00:15:15 --> 00:15:20

shouldn't we part of our pet path in knowledge or philosophy is we

00:15:20 --> 00:15:23

never get bored. If you find yourself getting bored of teaching

00:15:23 --> 00:15:27

something unboard yourself Quick, take a breather from it. But then

00:15:27 --> 00:15:32

go back to it, shall we? The concept of getting bored is the

00:15:32 --> 00:15:37

beginning of your failure. If you allow getting bored to dictate

00:15:37 --> 00:15:40

your actions, be prepared for failure. Okay.

00:15:42 --> 00:15:46

Let's go to the section on divine on let's see if there's in this

00:15:46 --> 00:15:52

book on op ed, the section on freewill, predestination and free

00:15:52 --> 00:15:53

will

00:15:57 --> 00:15:59

down to 68 a whole section

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

268 as we do in this live stream reread from the heritage of

00:16:07 --> 00:16:12

knowledge that these scholars have cascaded down generation

00:16:13 --> 00:16:17

after generation and that's how we're going to benefit by through

00:16:17 --> 00:16:20

knowledge. Okay, if Allah wills good for people, he gives them

00:16:20 --> 00:16:24

education. So here's what we're gonna say. Okay, so he says here

00:16:24 --> 00:16:24

reading from

00:16:26 --> 00:16:30

the introduction to Islamic theology, Imam noted Dina sub

00:16:30 --> 00:16:34

Guney. I'd be dead if you also the Dean translate by Frasca excellent

00:16:34 --> 00:16:40

job. Contrary to the sad scholars, Muhammad Ali twaddle, our fellow

00:16:40 --> 00:16:44

Metro Ed state that it is not conceivable that God exalted place

00:16:44 --> 00:16:47

on his servant a burden that that can not be performed by them this

00:16:47 --> 00:16:52

is because burdening someone incapable falls outside the scope

00:16:52 --> 00:16:55

of wisdom like burning a blind person to see a paralyzed person

00:16:55 --> 00:17:00

or or to to see or a paralyzed person to walk. Thus, it would not

00:17:00 --> 00:17:06

be attributed to the all wise because it would be foolishness to

00:17:06 --> 00:17:11

further elaborate to burden is to require someone to do that which

00:17:11 --> 00:17:15

entails hardship as a test such that he is rewarded for his

00:17:15 --> 00:17:18

performance and punished for its non performance.

00:17:19 --> 00:17:21

This can be actualized only in something conceivable, not

00:17:21 --> 00:17:25

something inconceivable. If it is said the God the Exalted states,

00:17:25 --> 00:17:31

our Lord placed not upon us a burden we cannot bear. Okay. So if

00:17:31 --> 00:17:36

an unbearable burden were not possible, seeking refuge from it

00:17:36 --> 00:17:42

would not be valid, okay. So it's possible for it to happen. And so

00:17:42 --> 00:17:45

when Allah states this idea, do not burden us with something we

00:17:45 --> 00:17:50

cannot bear. Okay. And Allah states he does not burden a soul

00:17:51 --> 00:17:56

with what it cannot bear. What does this mean? This means Sharia

00:17:57 --> 00:17:59

obligations and prohibitions.

00:18:00 --> 00:18:05

obligate you to for example, not eat and drink for two weeks you

00:18:05 --> 00:18:10

die. So the obligations but is it fathomable that someone can be

00:18:10 --> 00:18:12

burdened with something that cannot bear of course, houses

00:18:12 --> 00:18:18

anyone killed or dead or sick, you can't bear the flu bug, you get

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

sick, you can't bear a bullet to your head you die right. So that

00:18:22 --> 00:18:24

is possible from people

00:18:25 --> 00:18:28

but it is not from Allah subhanho wa Taala in other words through

00:18:28 --> 00:18:31

the Shetty, the city or the religion does not teach us

00:18:31 --> 00:18:34

anything or does not come in to something that we cannot do

00:18:37 --> 00:18:43

the first refuge the says your likewise God said to the angels

00:18:43 --> 00:18:47

inform me of the names of these despite his knowing Okay similarly

00:18:47 --> 00:18:50

is related to narration that God the exalt said say says on the day

00:18:50 --> 00:18:53

of rising to those who used to make pictures give life to what

00:18:53 --> 00:18:55

you created of course they can't do it. The first verse deals with

00:18:55 --> 00:19:00

seeking refuge from being given a physical burden that is unbearable

00:19:00 --> 00:19:02

not a moral one. Okay.

00:19:03 --> 00:19:07

For it is conceivable to make someone carry a mountain or a wall

00:19:07 --> 00:19:08

he cannot here

00:19:10 --> 00:19:14

cannot bear such that he does. Alright, in a break, fall break

00:19:14 --> 00:19:18

wall falling on a person he dies, so he couldn't bear it. Okay,

00:19:18 --> 00:19:23

torture all the time. People are tortured, right? People suffer far

00:19:23 --> 00:19:26

less than all these things. They can't bear it, their brain fries.

00:19:26 --> 00:19:30

Literally their brains are fried from the burden of life that they

00:19:30 --> 00:19:35

couldn't bear. Okay. And so you have situations where you walk

00:19:35 --> 00:19:39

around and you see people they had to drug themselves from the pain

00:19:39 --> 00:19:43

from the hardship and then their body couldn't bear the drugs. So

00:19:43 --> 00:19:48

we literally have I'm not even kidding you the zombie apocalypse.

00:19:48 --> 00:19:52

There is some truth to it. And it comes to the in the form of

00:19:52 --> 00:19:55

drugged humans and there are

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

Yeah, but But even worse, like the zombies, there are

00:20:05 --> 00:20:11

places out in LA and California, where there's tents of homeless

00:20:11 --> 00:20:14

people who just do drugs day in and day out. If you ever go to one

00:20:14 --> 00:20:19

of these crack houses, you saw there's zombies. They are so out

00:20:19 --> 00:20:22

of it. I don't even know how they're walking and drinking and

00:20:22 --> 00:20:26

going to the bathroom or whatever. Right? They are out when we used

00:20:26 --> 00:20:29

to feed the poor here. Every once in awhile we'd see someone did not

00:20:29 --> 00:20:32

there. There is a person is not there at all. You give them food.

00:20:32 --> 00:20:36

He is not there. It's drugs. Right. And that's spreading.

00:20:39 --> 00:20:39

Yeah.

00:20:43 --> 00:20:43

And then

00:20:46 --> 00:20:49

like the other started like seeing that. Yeah, so then they started

00:20:49 --> 00:20:52

like grabbing me and like actually, like zombies. Yes. Yeah.

00:20:52 --> 00:20:55

It's scary. It's freaky. And it's out there in California spreading

00:20:55 --> 00:20:58

and an end. And if anything spread in California, they usually end up

00:20:58 --> 00:21:01

spreading the rest of the world. What just happened? Camera was

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

showing off.

00:21:03 --> 00:21:03

We'll fix it.

00:21:10 --> 00:21:12

But you have a different publication. Do you have the CPL?

00:21:12 --> 00:21:16

The PDF? Man, you hacked it to 69 How'd you hack that?

00:21:18 --> 00:21:19

I didn't have it.

00:21:23 --> 00:21:29

All right, if it is said, Did Alon not place upon Abuja Hill and

00:21:29 --> 00:21:33

Pharaoh the responsibility of believing while knowing all along

00:21:34 --> 00:21:37

that they would never believe is it not impossible for something to

00:21:37 --> 00:21:41

exist if it contradicts what is known to God the Exalted we

00:21:41 --> 00:21:46

respond. This question first entails divergence from unanimous

00:21:46 --> 00:21:49

consensus as well as denial of a statement of God the Exalted

00:21:49 --> 00:21:52

regarding the former the community, the OMA has reached

00:21:52 --> 00:21:56

unanimous consensus that God never actually places a burden on anyone

00:21:56 --> 00:22:01

greater than his ability, no moral obligation that is beyond his

00:22:01 --> 00:22:05

capacity. The difference of opinion is only that is in its

00:22:05 --> 00:22:09

logical possibility. Regarding the second God, the Exalted states,

00:22:09 --> 00:22:13

God does not burden any soul except within its capacity. And

00:22:13 --> 00:22:18

the impossible is not within the capacity of anyone. Okay? So his

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

burden upon them to believe what's possible for them,

00:22:23 --> 00:22:29

okay, yet knowing that they would not do it, and is

00:22:30 --> 00:22:34

not forcing them to not do it, get his knowledge that they will not

00:22:34 --> 00:22:38

do it. Keep in mind that statement itself is false is knowledge that

00:22:38 --> 00:22:42

they will not do it. All the creation, all the knowledge, you

00:22:42 --> 00:22:45

cannot speak about Allah regarding past, present and future. So they

00:22:45 --> 00:22:48

have it's as if it already happened. In the sight of Allah,

00:22:48 --> 00:22:52

it's all already happened. So he's telling you the end of the book,

00:22:52 --> 00:22:57

right? But you, us humans have to live page by page. Okay? So if

00:22:57 --> 00:23:01

Allah is telling you that, in the last chapter of your life, you're

00:23:01 --> 00:23:03

going to do X, Y, and Z

00:23:04 --> 00:23:08

is irrelevant to you. You are living on chapter five. I'm on

00:23:08 --> 00:23:12

decade number four, decade number three, chapter three, chapter

00:23:12 --> 00:23:13

four, chapter five.

00:23:14 --> 00:23:18

Right? You're still the author of your deeds, but for Allah subhanaw

00:23:18 --> 00:23:22

taala. It's as if it's all done. Okay, so he's telling you what's

00:23:22 --> 00:23:26

in chapter 10, does not mean that you're forced No one's forcing you

00:23:26 --> 00:23:28

to this is one of the most important features here.

00:23:29 --> 00:23:32

Specifically guarding the statement it is not impossible for

00:23:32 --> 00:23:36

something to exist if it contradicts what is known to God

00:23:36 --> 00:23:39

we respond with the following impossible is that which cannot be

00:23:39 --> 00:23:42

logically conceived, while possible is that which can be

00:23:42 --> 00:23:46

logically conceived, the existence of a non existence of something is

00:23:46 --> 00:23:48

considered alright, but there's still not the answer that we're

00:23:48 --> 00:23:51

looking for, or the debate that we're looking for. Okay.

00:23:59 --> 00:24:02

This is indicated by the fact that we already already in agreement

00:24:02 --> 00:24:06

that both the existence and non existence of the cosmos are

00:24:06 --> 00:24:07

logically possible.

00:24:08 --> 00:24:12

Okay. While in the knowledge of Allah, it was certainly to come

00:24:12 --> 00:24:16

into existence, the reality of its current existence does not render

00:24:16 --> 00:24:21

it logically necessary, since if what God knew to exist were deemed

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

necessary. And what he knew to not exist were deemed impossible,

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

there'll be no actualization of that which could possibly exists

00:24:28 --> 00:24:31

Drake sort of complex if you're a new reader, to this

00:24:33 --> 00:24:37

actualization to come into existence. Moreover, Divine Will

00:24:37 --> 00:24:40

would then serve to distinguish the necessary from the impossible,

00:24:40 --> 00:24:44

rather than specify one logical possibility from another. This

00:24:44 --> 00:24:48

understanding is contrary to the position of all the logicians and

00:24:48 --> 00:24:51

metaphysicians. Now if it is the notion that it is possible for

00:24:51 --> 00:24:54

something to exist if it contradicts what is known to God,

00:24:54 --> 00:24:56

I'm not going to read this. I'm going to go to the next section.

00:24:57 --> 00:24:59

On the generality of things what do you see this livestream is

00:24:59 --> 00:25:00

actually doing?

00:25:00 --> 00:25:04

New a great service. It's books, it's more like like audio books,

00:25:04 --> 00:25:09

books on tape of various books in Edison, okay, being read to you

00:25:09 --> 00:25:12

and even explained to you, and it never keeps you bored. There's

00:25:12 --> 00:25:14

always a different book that we're reading from. Okay. And this

00:25:14 --> 00:25:18

section is very important, from Sudha to Robin that we give that

00:25:18 --> 00:25:22

we expand on this and learn from it. The people of truth may God

00:25:22 --> 00:25:25

grant them victory state that everything originated

00:25:27 --> 00:25:31

more death. Something created something that came into

00:25:31 --> 00:25:31

existence.

00:25:33 --> 00:25:38

Whether substance or accident, good or evil occurs by the decree

00:25:38 --> 00:25:42

and the will of Allah subhana wa Tada, the more tessellate and the

00:25:42 --> 00:25:46

more Tesla which is a deviant sect, state that things not

00:25:46 --> 00:25:50

pleasing to God are not willed by him. Okay? They differed among

00:25:50 --> 00:25:54

themselves regarding permissible things. We state that whatever God

00:25:54 --> 00:25:59

the Exalted nose will exist, he wills for it to exist, regardless

00:25:59 --> 00:26:03

of whether he commands it or not. Well, Hanifa alluded to this when

00:26:03 --> 00:26:07

he asked one of the other candidates did God the Exalted

00:26:07 --> 00:26:12

eternally know all the evil and vile things that would exist or

00:26:12 --> 00:26:16

not? Okay, good question. This is what people say to God, no, all

00:26:16 --> 00:26:20

these bad things would exist. The person was forced to admit

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

that God knew these things. He then asked, Did God will to make

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

manifest that which he knew, as he knew it? Or did he will to make

00:26:31 --> 00:26:35

the manifest contrary to what he knew, whereby his knowledge would

00:26:35 --> 00:26:39

be rendered ignorance, the person then renounced his former position

00:26:39 --> 00:26:43

and repented to God for it. Okay, so let me read you the second

00:26:43 --> 00:26:49

question. Okay. Okay. He asked one of the cutlery, did God know all

00:26:49 --> 00:26:53

the evil and vile things in this world are not? And he said, Yes,

00:26:53 --> 00:26:59

God knew them. He then asked Did God will to make manifest that

00:26:59 --> 00:27:04

which he knew, as he knew it, or did he will to make the manifest

00:27:04 --> 00:27:08

contrary to what he knew, whereby his knowledge would be rendered

00:27:08 --> 00:27:13

ignorance, okay, so he created them as he knew them to be, which

00:27:13 --> 00:27:17

is something that has already emphasizes later with toa folk

00:27:17 --> 00:27:18

elements

00:27:19 --> 00:27:25

of early but tell me, God's knowledge, God's speech, God's

00:27:25 --> 00:27:27

actions, they're all in accord.

00:27:28 --> 00:27:31

There is no diffusion between them. All of his words are in

00:27:31 --> 00:27:34

accord to his knowledge, all of his actions are in accord, to his

00:27:34 --> 00:27:40

knowledge. And the word for that is more or less in accord. To his

00:27:40 --> 00:27:42

knowledge, there's no separation in it.

00:27:44 --> 00:27:47

For that reason, one of our fellow Matteucci, these stated Divine

00:27:47 --> 00:27:48

Will,

00:27:49 --> 00:27:56

corresponds to divine knowledge. Raja tragedy Malelane. We just

00:27:56 --> 00:28:00

said, his will, his actions, his speech is in accord to his

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

knowledge. The correct way of stating it, however, is that the

00:28:03 --> 00:28:09

divine will corresponds good in a court, I said in a court, he says

00:28:09 --> 00:28:15

corresponds to divine actions, and Iraida tragedy malefic. Meaning

00:28:15 --> 00:28:20

whatever acts God the Exalted undertakes, were indeed willed by

00:28:20 --> 00:28:24

him. For that reason to shape a man or woman suited to the

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

maturity stated that this issue derives from the issue of the

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

creation of human action. Once we established that all human actions

00:28:33 --> 00:28:37

are created by God, it then flows that there will by him, since if

00:28:37 --> 00:28:40

he did not willed them, you will be coerced into bringing them into

00:28:40 --> 00:28:44

existence, which is impossible. Nothing is coercing the Creator.

00:28:46 --> 00:28:50

Okay. Allah says, and you do not will, unless God wills

00:28:53 --> 00:28:56

and his statement had God willed, they would not have ascribed

00:28:56 --> 00:28:59

partners Tim, and his statement had your Lord wilt all the people

00:28:59 --> 00:29:03

on earth without exception would have believed? Well not to shout

00:29:03 --> 00:29:07

when insha Allah the first one, some verses, in fact explicitly

00:29:07 --> 00:29:09

affirmed that misguidance is also wilt.

00:29:10 --> 00:29:14

he misguides whomever he wills, and whomever he chooses to

00:29:14 --> 00:29:18

misguide, he makes his chest narrow in English. Also, according

00:29:18 --> 00:29:20

to new orthodoxy, there's no difference between choice and

00:29:20 --> 00:29:24

will. The proof of the soundness of our position is that

00:29:24 --> 00:29:27

transmitted saying, that the community received with acceptance

00:29:27 --> 00:29:32

go to the Cthulhu OMA to blockable that which God chooses exists,

00:29:33 --> 00:29:37

good, sha Allah who can give me a shot let me have

00:29:38 --> 00:29:42

you noticed that in ODOT, right to negate the Morteza lights

00:29:43 --> 00:29:47

that which Allah chooses exists and what he does not choose, this

00:29:47 --> 00:29:51

cannot exist, for Allah does not will or choose for something just

00:29:51 --> 00:29:54

that thing will never exist. The position of our opponent

00:29:54 --> 00:29:58

contradicts the implication of the statement since some of what God

00:29:58 --> 00:29:59

chooses Okay,

00:30:00 --> 00:30:05

such as faith of all disbelievers did not occur. And some some

00:30:05 --> 00:30:08

people say hold on a second did not allow want

00:30:09 --> 00:30:12

everyone to believe he commanded us all to believe, then but they

00:30:12 --> 00:30:17

didn't believe. So here they're confusing his command with his

00:30:17 --> 00:30:23

will. Okay, he's gonna say that soon. Okay, did not he command

00:30:23 --> 00:30:27

faith of all disbelievers, but it did not occur. Hence their

00:30:27 --> 00:30:31

position, that Divine Will means that he wants something or prefer

00:30:31 --> 00:30:36

something, thus differs from choice where it is invalid by

00:30:36 --> 00:30:42

consensus. So is Tesha his command is different from his will. Right?

00:30:43 --> 00:30:47

He may command a thing, and he doesn't will it, he commands a

00:30:47 --> 00:30:49

thing and wills it. He

00:30:50 --> 00:30:51

just

00:30:52 --> 00:30:56

does not command or disallows a thing and wills it he disallows

00:30:56 --> 00:30:59

anything and doesn't willing, and the examples they give on it is

00:30:59 --> 00:31:02

when he commands a thing, and he wills it, the belief of the

00:31:02 --> 00:31:06

believer, he commands a thing, but doesn't will it the disbelief of

00:31:06 --> 00:31:09

the Catholic, you're commanded to believe, but he does disbelieve,

00:31:09 --> 00:31:13

so on and so forth. You got two options. So you have box A for he

00:31:13 --> 00:31:17

disallows a thing, but he creates it, he wills, He disallows

00:31:18 --> 00:31:21

alcohol, but people get drunk all the time. He disallows the thing

00:31:21 --> 00:31:25

any great and he creates it doesn't create such as the co

00:31:25 --> 00:31:30

founder of the moment. Right? He does not allow us to make over and

00:31:30 --> 00:31:33

he does not create it for us. Okay, so it's like a box of four.

00:31:34 --> 00:31:38

If it is said, If God chose disbelief for the disbeliever, he

00:31:38 --> 00:31:41

chose disbelief for the disbeliever the person would not

00:31:41 --> 00:31:44

be able to do other than God's will. That's the question we got

00:31:44 --> 00:31:51

to write. If Allah willed for a person to be a Kaffir, then that

00:31:51 --> 00:31:54

person cannot possibly be a believer. Right? Here's the

00:31:54 --> 00:31:55

beautiful thing of it.

00:31:57 --> 00:31:58

You don't know God's will.

00:31:59 --> 00:32:03

That's the thing. If a Catherine says me, or that if God wills for

00:32:03 --> 00:32:07

you to be for me to be a careful, how can I ever be a moment? We

00:32:07 --> 00:32:11

say, this is a moot point because you don't know God's will. You

00:32:11 --> 00:32:16

don't know Allah's will. That's the first thing. So secondly,

00:32:16 --> 00:32:20

they're trying to say I'm coerced by God's choice by God's will.

00:32:21 --> 00:32:25

He should then either be excused for his disbelief according to his

00:32:25 --> 00:32:28

own logic, which would nullify the divine command,

00:32:29 --> 00:32:32

promise prohibition or threat, or he should be punished for it,

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

which would entail accountability for what exceeds capacity because

00:32:36 --> 00:32:39

no one could go against God. So if God wills from your calf bat calf,

00:32:39 --> 00:32:42

but I can't go against him. So why am I being punished? That's the

00:32:42 --> 00:32:45

logic of this argument. Okay, I guarantee you he covers this here.

00:32:46 --> 00:32:53

But I have Rohan Zedi. Because this is a common question for

00:32:53 --> 00:32:56

thinking most of them I get your I know, you want to read with us

00:32:56 --> 00:33:00

after we finish this. Find it in here. I guarantee you, he covers

00:33:00 --> 00:33:03

it in here. We respond. You know, people want to know what we're

00:33:03 --> 00:33:06

reading from. We're reading from this. We're then going to read

00:33:06 --> 00:33:07

from this. Okay.

00:33:08 --> 00:33:12

Let's see what he says here. We response we were but your argument

00:33:12 --> 00:33:16

with the issue of knowledge in that if God knows he will

00:33:16 --> 00:33:20

disbelieve is he then able to do other than what God knows or not?

00:33:20 --> 00:33:24

Your response with regard to the issue of knowledge is our response

00:33:24 --> 00:33:28

to the issue of will? Furthermore, our position is that although God

00:33:28 --> 00:33:32

wills disbelief for him, what God's God wills is that the person

00:33:32 --> 00:33:37

chooses disbelief of his own volition.

00:33:39 --> 00:33:43

That's it. That's the answer. What did God will God willed that you

00:33:43 --> 00:33:44

chose this?

00:33:45 --> 00:33:50

So God's will, is over our will, will Master Sha one and sha Allah.

00:33:51 --> 00:33:57

So it's not as if God is willing and unwilling. Right? And, or only

00:33:57 --> 00:34:01

one of us is willing, sorry, God's willing or unwilling? No, you are

00:34:01 --> 00:34:04

willing, and God's willing that you're willing, okay?

00:34:05 --> 00:34:07

Of your own volition and choice.

00:34:08 --> 00:34:12

God's will is that the person chooses disbelief out of his own

00:34:12 --> 00:34:18

volition and choice while having the ability to believe this is

00:34:18 --> 00:34:23

also what God knows of the purse. Thus, the divine command

00:34:23 --> 00:34:27

prohibition, promise and threat is valid. All that is valid.

00:34:30 --> 00:34:32

And that's the meaning of what matters set when it lands Insha

00:34:32 --> 00:34:36

Allah, your will is also wilt, you're never outside of the Divine

00:34:36 --> 00:34:41

Will. So if what is willed and known is an act based on choice.

00:34:42 --> 00:34:44

How can the door be deemed coerced?

00:34:46 --> 00:34:49

In fact, God the Exalted explicitly mentions the servants

00:34:49 --> 00:34:54

own volition in his statement, so whoever wants let him believe

00:34:56 --> 00:35:00

a man shall have a new admin for for the man who

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

I'm going to show a videographer. Okay, so that's what is the Alice

00:35:03 --> 00:35:07

rock Alkaff for Misha video, middle Misha Ophelia,

00:35:08 --> 00:35:12

water dinner, as well as the statement do as you wish. Do as

00:35:12 --> 00:35:15

you wish, indeed, the servant necessarily knows that of himself.

00:35:16 --> 00:35:18

There is no way for him to deny it. That's where he goes to the

00:35:18 --> 00:35:21

practical aspect, you know that you have the choice. You can't

00:35:21 --> 00:35:23

deny that you have choices, and that you take action.

00:35:24 --> 00:35:29

It's intuitive. Before you came in, we said that one story, man

00:35:29 --> 00:35:32

questioned the same thing. So the scholar picked up a rock and threw

00:35:32 --> 00:35:33

it out his head and made him bleed.

00:35:35 --> 00:35:38

So he said, Look at the shaker, I asked him a hard question. He

00:35:38 --> 00:35:43

abuses me. He said, Don't blame me. It was willed. Right? I was

00:35:43 --> 00:35:47

willing to do it. And that was so that was the answer. Right? So you

00:35:47 --> 00:35:50

clearly intuitively know that you have choices.

00:35:52 --> 00:35:53

Yes.

00:35:57 --> 00:36:00

Don't I think it's Is there something left less than 30

00:36:00 --> 00:36:06

knowledge? Buddy fits me even? Because the Rudy knowledge seems

00:36:06 --> 00:36:10

like there is still thought, like two plus two. Like it's a

00:36:10 --> 00:36:13

knowledge. This is like a buddy, right? It's like something that

00:36:14 --> 00:36:17

does not I guess you'd be the Rudy but if there was anything less

00:36:17 --> 00:36:18

than the Rudy be the Rudy.

00:36:23 --> 00:36:25

This is Micah and by the way. Now we'd have a mic for him. But

00:36:25 --> 00:36:27

that's okay. Just speak a little bit like

00:36:31 --> 00:36:31

Yeah.

00:36:33 --> 00:36:38

Or like thirst? Like nobody here yet? Yeah. So he's saying the Rudy

00:36:38 --> 00:36:42

and buddy here are the same. The word buddy yet is things that does

00:36:43 --> 00:36:46

that just by existing, you know, what's the case? Right? All right.

00:36:46 --> 00:36:49

Let's see if he has this discussion in this book, and we'll

00:36:49 --> 00:36:49

read it a second time.

00:36:52 --> 00:36:55

There is no way for him to know and God's Will of the servants

00:36:55 --> 00:36:58

action is established by both scripture and reason. So we can

00:36:58 --> 00:37:02

not deny either of the two, you see how beneficial this was? let's

00:37:02 --> 00:37:04

underline this sentence right here.

00:37:05 --> 00:37:09

God's will is that he choose

00:37:10 --> 00:37:12

disbelief from his own volition.

00:37:20 --> 00:37:20

Okay,

00:37:22 --> 00:37:24

and I believe that's probably the end of this

00:37:26 --> 00:37:30

section. Now, there's one more chapter one more question. He

00:37:30 --> 00:37:33

says, if it is said, God, the Exalted states and I have not

00:37:33 --> 00:37:39

created Jinan mankind except so as to worship me. He informs us that

00:37:39 --> 00:37:41

He created them for worship.

00:37:42 --> 00:37:46

How can he will their disbelief and disobedience he likewise

00:37:46 --> 00:37:49

states God wants ease for you, he does not want difficulty and God

00:37:49 --> 00:37:53

does not will oppression for His servants and we respond as for the

00:37:53 --> 00:37:56

first verse, it cannot be applied generally, since children and the

00:37:56 --> 00:38:00

insane do not worship Him, therefore it must be interpreted

00:38:00 --> 00:38:04

appropriately, it's its general statement, but as a limited

00:38:04 --> 00:38:07

application, there are two possible interpretations. One, it

00:38:07 --> 00:38:11

could mean except so as to be servants of mine, or it could mean

00:38:11 --> 00:38:17

I have not created whomever among jinn and mankind that God knows

00:38:17 --> 00:38:21

will worship him except so as to worship me. Thus generality is not

00:38:21 --> 00:38:26

intended and God knows best as for the second verse, God wants ease

00:38:26 --> 00:38:28

for you and not difficulty or

00:38:31 --> 00:38:34

God does not will oppression for His servants. That's the second

00:38:34 --> 00:38:36

verse what he mentioned is

00:38:38 --> 00:38:42

God wants ease not difficulty is what is meant in that is that

00:38:42 --> 00:38:45

specifically with respect to the legislation of the law of the

00:38:45 --> 00:38:49

Sharia, okay, he does not want difficulty, but rather ease as for

00:38:49 --> 00:38:53

the third verse, which is God does not will oppression for His

00:38:53 --> 00:38:58

servants, okay. What is meant is he does not will oppression for

00:38:58 --> 00:39:04

His servants. That is, he does not oppress them, but not that he does

00:39:04 --> 00:39:08

not will for some of them to oppress each other. Okay.

00:39:10 --> 00:39:14

All right. This is indicated by the fact that he does not state

00:39:14 --> 00:39:19

oppression of servants, rather oppression for servants. The

00:39:19 --> 00:39:24

preposition for here meaning against as in his statement, and

00:39:24 --> 00:39:29

if you do evil, then you do it for yourselves. Okay, that it then you

00:39:29 --> 00:39:30

do it against yourselves.

00:39:31 --> 00:39:32

Is that all clear?

00:39:36 --> 00:39:40

Heavy stuff, but extremely useful, like useful to an extreme.

00:39:44 --> 00:39:45

So I think we got the answer to that.

00:39:47 --> 00:39:50

And that is going to cover that up because guarantee I'm like, 90%

00:39:50 --> 00:39:53

sure he must have covered this subject.

00:39:57 --> 00:39:59

In his while, looks that up

00:40:00 --> 00:40:04

Okay we will continue the Tafseer of Alibaba we on this matter

00:40:09 --> 00:40:15

he says here that Allah Tala has assigned an angel to every womb.

00:40:17 --> 00:40:23

And that angel fashion fashions and and writes down will the

00:40:23 --> 00:40:28

decree that Allah has for this creation? Well kala GEMA tune

00:40:28 --> 00:40:33

Mannella in Allah kala Kolkata McAfee through manually and Allah

00:40:33 --> 00:40:38

to Allah the Quran Alka firma was a phone be fairly him, okay is

00:40:38 --> 00:40:45

that Allah is in this describing their own actions not enforcing

00:40:45 --> 00:40:46

something upon them

00:40:48 --> 00:40:52

as Allah says from income capital and income movement while low

00:40:52 --> 00:40:57

Calaca colada but map for men who may Allah botany, right, so Allah

00:40:57 --> 00:41:01

says Allah created every animal from water, some of them walk on

00:41:01 --> 00:41:04

their stomach, some of them walk on four, four legs, etc.

00:41:06 --> 00:41:10

Okay, that is their description. He's just describing them, not

00:41:10 --> 00:41:13

forcing them. He's describing their own choice

00:41:14 --> 00:41:17

Fotolia and evisa Aiden illiquidity and the whole called

00:41:17 --> 00:41:23

firming concasseur fee hayati movement Phil aka the income

00:41:23 --> 00:41:27

Kavanaugh maker movement. He say the hoodie said you're a cat fit

00:41:27 --> 00:41:31

in this life. But when you go into the next life, you're going to be

00:41:31 --> 00:41:34

a believer. And some people could respond to that by saying that

00:41:34 --> 00:41:38

there's no belief in the afterlife, because belief requires

00:41:38 --> 00:41:43

accepting the transmission of what you don't see. Right? But on the

00:41:43 --> 00:41:47

day of judgment, you see it all. So there will be no believers on

00:41:47 --> 00:41:49

the day of judgment and Allah knows best

00:41:50 --> 00:41:54

will mean commitment fee hayati, he can fulfill octubre mocha Lapa

00:41:55 --> 00:41:58

Rowbotham income Catherine Billa, who McMinnville kawaki will make

00:41:58 --> 00:42:03

commitment below he will carefully bid kawaki and or he means by this

00:42:03 --> 00:42:08

one African, the appearance of a believer in this life but in the

00:42:08 --> 00:42:11

next life with the cafe and vice versa.

00:42:19 --> 00:42:22

Creative income careful to be an ally to Allah halacha who are

00:42:22 --> 00:42:27

meltable diarrhea will make a movement the and Allah Calaca who

00:42:28 --> 00:42:29

there are people who are Cafe

00:42:31 --> 00:42:35

cafe in regard to Allah creating them. And that's a group called

00:42:35 --> 00:42:38

the dedhia. In the past there was a people called we've said we've

00:42:38 --> 00:42:41

been around here forever and nothing will destroy us except

00:42:41 --> 00:42:43

time. So

00:42:47 --> 00:42:49

that's a group called the deadia you find it

00:42:58 --> 00:43:01

necessary attributes and he goes straight into like, divine design

00:43:01 --> 00:43:01

and then

00:43:04 --> 00:43:07

okay, no mention of the freewill debate here

00:43:12 --> 00:43:13

Yeah,

00:43:14 --> 00:43:19

okay. All my best, he says, Isn't believe doesn't belief also apply

00:43:19 --> 00:43:21

to the observed ie the Quran is rejecting the Prophet size and

00:43:21 --> 00:43:25

Salallahu Salam even after seeing his miracles? Well, I think what

00:43:25 --> 00:43:28

they are rejecting they see the prophets of Allah when he said

00:43:28 --> 00:43:32

them, they see His miracles, they're rejecting that it's from

00:43:32 --> 00:43:36

Allah. They still don't see Allah right. So that's what the

00:43:36 --> 00:43:38

rejecting a lot is best.

00:43:40 --> 00:43:48

But the we also are told that the kaffir if he was to see the truth

00:43:48 --> 00:43:50

itself, he would reject it.

00:43:51 --> 00:43:55

Right. Let me take a peek at this here says model is

00:43:57 --> 00:43:58

coherence.

00:43:59 --> 00:44:02

Christians and Jews anticipate Mohammed Mohammed mentioned by

00:44:02 --> 00:44:06

name, the parakeet of the Bible. This is so good we're going to

00:44:06 --> 00:44:09

read a section from this is their evidence for God logic brand

00:44:43 --> 00:44:47

She's the one who told you right? It's multiple times by the way.

00:44:48 --> 00:44:51

Like the hadith of if she says I was like very young

00:44:53 --> 00:44:57

in Makati. She says her age when you guys get involved, right? Love

00:44:57 --> 00:44:59

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

something against the biblical religious Love is love so don't

00:45:04 --> 00:45:06

get don't get involved while you're getting involved. Did her

00:45:06 --> 00:45:09

dad get involved did her mom get involved? Oh, we're gonna go that

00:45:09 --> 00:45:12

route now where the Democrats think that they're trying to

00:45:12 --> 00:45:16

undermine parental like the new progressives and they're trying to

00:45:16 --> 00:45:19

undermine parental authority Be careful this they're like parents

00:45:19 --> 00:45:22

who whose to say parent knows best for your kid the state could know

00:45:22 --> 00:45:25

better anyone else could know better. So be careful from these,

00:45:26 --> 00:45:29

these lunatics and they're they're getting authority to it's a

00:45:29 --> 00:45:31

problem. Let's get back to our reading

00:47:08 --> 00:47:09

right? Because

00:47:10 --> 00:47:13

part of this thing is the unicity of your teachers, right? So you

00:47:13 --> 00:47:16

have a gym out in Morocco, and you want to be oh my god, do you want

00:47:16 --> 00:47:20

to find one? Right? Especially in the old days, Modern Times

00:47:20 --> 00:47:25

everything's off because teachers are everywhere, right? But in the

00:47:25 --> 00:47:29

old days, so you don't generally tend to find these

00:47:30 --> 00:47:33

these things and it's probably not good, I don't think

00:47:37 --> 00:47:42

I think it's by the intent. A person should not intend to cook

00:47:42 --> 00:47:43

up for himself.

00:47:44 --> 00:47:48

Some kind of identity in these things that never existed had no

00:47:48 --> 00:47:52

reason to exist. Like, um, this when it comes to this subject on

00:47:52 --> 00:47:54

this when it comes to that subject. It's like

00:47:55 --> 00:47:59

yeah, on this subject on this, it just seems to be like you're

00:47:59 --> 00:48:02

trying to get attention. That's what it seems to me and a lot a

00:48:02 --> 00:48:05

lot as best but it seems to me that you're just you're going that

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

route of attention.

00:48:08 --> 00:48:11

Like they not not like to say like, oh, like every single like

00:48:11 --> 00:48:14

every other issue. They're like Matthew ashabi mentally Dasha and

00:48:14 --> 00:48:17

like they said something the majority of one of the school

00:48:17 --> 00:48:19

Yeah, but like they'll say like,

00:48:20 --> 00:48:23

they'll say about like one masala, like I inclined towards the more

00:48:23 --> 00:48:25

the majority. Yeah, I don't think I don't think there's a problem

00:48:25 --> 00:48:29

with that. Yeah, but it's one like when it comes to my certain food

00:48:29 --> 00:48:33

on this, when it comes to also on that when it comes to update on

00:48:33 --> 00:48:36

this. And it's like, it seems like your intention. What's your

00:48:36 --> 00:48:38

intention? It's not like a Frankenstein Have you tried to

00:48:38 --> 00:48:44

cook up a new identity here or get attention? But then now the show

00:48:45 --> 00:48:46

exists in all formatives.

00:48:47 --> 00:48:52

American chef it goes without say there are humbly studies or who

00:48:52 --> 00:48:54

lean towards that such as Evelyn Josie.

00:48:56 --> 00:48:57

And there are

00:48:59 --> 00:49:03

four Saudis in Shem. All over Syria. They have that Neff for our

00:49:03 --> 00:49:03

shows.

00:49:08 --> 00:49:13

But the maturities I believe are solely historically speaking not

00:49:13 --> 00:49:16

today. Historically speaking within the Hanafi circles.

00:49:19 --> 00:49:23

He then says had that thought equally sooner. Well Jimmy, I

00:49:23 --> 00:49:29

small agency la Wahidullah, whom in love to hear the word Bashar is

00:51:33 --> 00:51:40

is one legions is the name of a whole genus and there is no single

and Mithila Nya and Dena will a human they negate that a human

00:52:04 --> 00:52:08

being like us can can guide us how can one single human guide us? Or

00:52:08 --> 00:52:11

how can a human like us guide us fucka forward to Allah Subhan

00:52:11 --> 00:52:16

Allah and Iman him for comfort, whatever they rejected, they

00:52:16 --> 00:52:19

turned back with Stephen Allah, Allah does not need them in the

00:52:19 --> 00:52:20

advancement of his will.

00:52:21 --> 00:52:27

Okay, well, Logan Yun Hamid and healthy fit from Kabara and

00:52:27 --> 00:52:31

include him in Bath. Let's stop here. Actually, you know what?

00:52:33 --> 00:52:37

I feel that if we stop here, I won't know where we left off. But

00:52:37 --> 00:52:39

let's stop here and read from

00:52:41 --> 00:52:42

from JDS book.

00:52:47 --> 00:52:47

So

00:52:50 --> 00:52:54

how can a human being guide if it is said that only Allah guides?

00:52:57 --> 00:53:02

How can it be said that? How can it be said that a human being

00:53:02 --> 00:53:03

guides

00:53:04 --> 00:53:06

if we know that only Allah guides?

00:53:17 --> 00:53:19

Like, ultimately we all know, ultimately.

00:53:21 --> 00:53:27

Okay, so it is the description that the speech about the sub, in

00:53:27 --> 00:53:28

the same way that we speak about them with sub.

00:53:30 --> 00:53:32

That's possible. Firstly, for those who don't know, what is the

00:53:32 --> 00:53:37

sub Anamosa bib, the Musa bib, the creator of all causes is Allah

00:53:37 --> 00:53:41

subhanho wa taala. He's not a cause he's a creator of the

00:53:41 --> 00:53:47

causes, and then the cause. And it is permissible in speech to refer

00:53:47 --> 00:53:48

to the cause.

00:53:50 --> 00:53:55

And the creator with the same language, right? So I could say,

00:53:55 --> 00:53:59

if you saved me from a river, I could say you saved me. Right?

00:53:59 --> 00:54:03

While believing in my heart that you are the cause, not the creator

00:54:03 --> 00:54:06

of the saving. That ultimately Allah saved me. Okay?

00:54:08 --> 00:54:12

That's correct on one facet, that's one answer that works.

00:54:12 --> 00:54:17

Another answer that works is that the guidance of the human is to

00:54:17 --> 00:54:18

point people

00:54:19 --> 00:54:25

to the actions through which Allah guides you. Right? So a human

00:54:25 --> 00:54:30

guide would be the one who takes you to the wealth, but he can't

00:54:30 --> 00:54:30

make you drink.

00:54:31 --> 00:54:35

Or we can say the human guide is the one who teaches you how to

00:54:35 --> 00:54:36

pray.

00:54:37 --> 00:54:40

Right then when you do pray that Allah guides you.

00:54:41 --> 00:54:45

So Allah is the guide of your heart, but who guided your body to

00:54:45 --> 00:54:49

prayer, the human guide, and that's how we can call humans

00:54:49 --> 00:54:52

guides. There's nothing wrong to say that the human is a guide.

00:55:15 --> 00:55:20

My love story with God begins in my teens though I didn't know it

00:55:20 --> 00:55:24

at the time. Since my high school in Canada, where I was born and

00:55:24 --> 00:55:27

raised was a huge multicultural salad.

00:55:28 --> 00:55:33

The spectrum of beliefs prodded me subconsciously. I found myself

00:55:33 --> 00:55:38

hanging out with Sikhs and Hindus at lunch. And high fiving

00:55:38 --> 00:55:42

Catholics and Protestants and Orthodox Christians at basketball

00:55:42 --> 00:55:46

practice and discussing Buddhism and Sufism and every other ism

00:55:46 --> 00:55:49

overdose at coffee shops. They were eye opening experiences, but

00:55:49 --> 00:55:53

naturally these interactions made me wonder where I stood.

00:55:54 --> 00:55:58

I figured I should learn something about my religion, the religion of

00:55:58 --> 00:56:01

my ancestors, Islam, having been viciously bullied when I was

00:56:01 --> 00:56:04

younger. I was inspired by the religions proclaimed Prophet

00:56:04 --> 00:56:07

Muhammad salallahu Salam, an underprivileged orphan who

00:56:07 --> 00:56:10

remained at the servants of the week despite triumphing over

00:56:10 --> 00:56:13

powerful oppressors. I remember staying up full night's engulfed

00:56:13 --> 00:56:17

in his biography. Though I was drawn to Islam due to its

00:56:17 --> 00:56:20

Messenger, and its lofty principle had not explored its theology

00:56:20 --> 00:56:23

deeply. Belief to me was something relative, like tastes and

00:56:23 --> 00:56:28

clothing. However, I did not think God was a matter of fact, a belief

00:56:28 --> 00:56:32

everyone shared. I did think sorry, I did think God would just

00:56:32 --> 00:56:35

make tech for you to the guy. I didn't think we could remember

00:56:35 --> 00:56:40

made the the poor guy calf. I did think God was a matter of fact, I

00:56:40 --> 00:56:45

believe everyone shared. He just assumed that. That's everyone

00:56:45 --> 00:56:49

believes. Then I met atheists. These people asked me why I

00:56:49 --> 00:56:52

believed what I did. And I appreciated them for It compelled

00:56:52 --> 00:56:54

me to question all my beliefs and how rational they were. I checked

00:56:54 --> 00:56:58

them a pistol melodically assessing how we can be certain of

00:56:58 --> 00:57:02

what we think we know about God's messengers, holy scriptures, and

00:57:02 --> 00:57:05

other ancillary subjects to the biggest question, however, was

00:57:05 --> 00:57:09

whether God even existed all this to me was in the spirit of

00:57:09 --> 00:57:13

inquiry. I figured that pushing all my beliefs through a

00:57:13 --> 00:57:17

scientific method, which I hold high would certainly reveal

00:57:17 --> 00:57:20

whatever truth there was, and I was prepared to let the chips fall

00:57:20 --> 00:57:24

where they may. Oddly, it led me to a profound respect for theism.

00:57:24 --> 00:57:27

I say oddly, because many of the atheists I had known over the

00:57:27 --> 00:57:32

years, were now a hint more condescending, and I was actually

00:57:32 --> 00:57:36

expecting that I would adopt their view. But you by University

00:57:37 --> 00:57:41

College, most people I met thought that the rational support the

00:57:41 --> 00:57:43

rationale supporting atheism,

00:57:44 --> 00:57:49

on touchably outstripped the one supporting the divine being. They

00:57:49 --> 00:57:53

went so far as to say that theists were enemies of reason and

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

science, following a weak and dated belief. Today, this view of

00:57:57 --> 00:58:03

God seems to be widely accepted, even theists have couched it's as

00:58:03 --> 00:58:08

if they to think that all God has going for him is faith. Given my

00:58:08 --> 00:58:10

own explorative journey,

00:58:11 --> 00:58:15

though, I find this position grossly ignorant. I think it is,

00:58:15 --> 00:58:19

is us rolling our eyes that philosophy, theology and logic

00:58:19 --> 00:58:22

that has led to this warped outlook, this is summary of the

00:58:22 --> 00:58:26

book, right? The western mind, all they look at is the visible data,

00:58:27 --> 00:58:30

ultimate Tgb. By limiting themselves to only what is

00:58:30 --> 00:58:35

demonstrable, and rolling your eyes at transmitted knowledge and

00:58:35 --> 00:58:40

rational knowledge, you will end up with very little certainty

00:58:41 --> 00:58:43

about these big matters. So he's saying you're that's the real

00:58:43 --> 00:58:46

problem in the western civilization is that they have

00:58:46 --> 00:58:52

pretty much dismissed, okay, rational knowledge and transmitted

00:58:52 --> 00:58:55

knowledge. All right, I think it is us rolling our eyes that

00:58:55 --> 00:58:58

philosophy, theology and logic that has led to this warped

00:58:58 --> 00:59:03

outlook, no less to blame is our aggrandizing if not leaping up

00:59:03 --> 00:59:08

aboard the apparent ironclad bandwagon of scientism, scientism

00:59:08 --> 00:59:13

is the belief that truth is restricted to that which can be

00:59:13 --> 00:59:14

demonstrated,

00:59:16 --> 00:59:19

which we say no truth can be demonstrated, it can be reasoned,

00:59:20 --> 00:59:21

and it can be transmitted.

00:59:22 --> 00:59:26

Okay, from the past, scientists and whose stars we have not given

00:59:26 --> 00:59:31

a solid kick. But it is not all our fault. God has the best case

00:59:31 --> 00:59:34

with the worst lawyers. That's totally true, where the

00:59:34 --> 00:59:38

theologians theists fail to deliver. That is why it is my hope

00:59:38 --> 00:59:42

that this book will convey the strength of the platform on which

00:59:42 --> 00:59:46

the concept of God rests. Note that I am not arguing for what is

00:59:46 --> 00:59:49

true. That is another investigation. I would rather

00:59:49 --> 00:59:52

consider it a success if my work merely challenges readers to

00:59:52 --> 00:59:56

evaluate whether their position is as reasonable as pointing it in

00:59:56 --> 00:59:59

the omnipresent and creating, creating deity

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

Whether their position is as reasonable as positive, and

01:00:04 --> 01:00:05

omnipresent,

01:00:06 --> 01:00:10

and creating deity, we need to pass this milestone if we wish to

01:00:10 --> 01:00:13

embark on what is, in my opinion, the far more beautiful journey,

01:00:13 --> 01:00:19

the journey unto the divine. This is a modern Qlm work. Put in a

01:00:19 --> 01:00:21

language we could all read and understand.

01:00:22 --> 01:00:26

And that's why I was like this. It's almost like, this is a book

01:00:26 --> 01:00:27

I'm reading from everybody.

01:00:28 --> 01:00:34

It's as if this book, it has the same principles as a Sufi insidey

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

podcast and not them Ephesus livestream. That was the whole

01:00:38 --> 01:00:43

presentation of this phenotype, the philosophy of the Simian side,

01:00:43 --> 01:00:48

the podcast was it was a Kalam podcast, more so than FIP. Or to

01:00:48 --> 01:00:54

solve it was about Eman and reason, belief and reason. Okay,

01:00:54 --> 01:00:59

there's like, we were reading the betta to Minnesota. From with

01:00:59 --> 01:01:01

Sharon yesterday, and then we were like reading from the translation.

01:01:02 --> 01:01:05

And like, there's all these big words like ontological and like,

01:01:05 --> 01:01:08

like and like we were just like, like, are they just putting

01:01:08 --> 01:01:11

ontological on like, like sprinkling in like book like,

01:01:11 --> 01:01:15

scholarly vocab, or like, academic vocab? Like, we were just like,

01:01:15 --> 01:01:17

all trying to like figure out what he was trying to say. Yeah, but

01:01:17 --> 01:01:21

mashallah, like, this is easier. Yeah. So when you're a specialist

01:01:21 --> 01:01:24

in a field, you take the lingo, the technical terminology of that

01:01:24 --> 01:01:30

field for granted. And some people become, they're limited, actually,

01:01:30 --> 01:01:34

I think they're limited, that they may stay in a field for so long.

01:01:35 --> 01:01:39

Right? And be surrounded by the people of those that fields that

01:01:39 --> 01:01:44

they no longer remember what it's like to be ignorant of that field.

01:01:44 --> 01:01:49

So I think that's a limit. Because even I think it was Einstein who

01:01:49 --> 01:01:53

made that statement, he said that you truly have knowledge. If you

01:01:53 --> 01:01:57

can go through an entire discipline become an expert, yet

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

explain it to the ignorant. Right, that's where you like you, you

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

want the journey, but you haven't forgotten what it's like. And

01:02:03 --> 01:02:05

that's why for example,

01:02:07 --> 01:02:11

in, in politics, how is it that

01:02:12 --> 01:02:17

tyrants are kings collapse? Why would they collapse? How do they

01:02:17 --> 01:02:23

collapse is because they've been kings for so long, right?

01:02:24 --> 01:02:25

That they don't

01:02:26 --> 01:02:29

even have any knowledge or recognition of the life of the

01:02:29 --> 01:02:32

common man. Hence, they make decision after the decision that

01:02:32 --> 01:02:35

hurts the common man, there's they have no access to the common man

01:02:35 --> 01:02:40

anymore. They make such blunder as decisions, because they don't even

01:02:40 --> 01:02:46

have a clue how the common man lives, feels or thinks. And then

01:02:46 --> 01:02:52

they go within, they make these clear blunders that get them

01:02:52 --> 01:02:55

kicked out. So that's the concept again, people ask them what book

01:02:55 --> 01:02:58

we're reading from. We'll be reading from this. Okay.

01:02:59 --> 01:02:59

Let's

01:03:02 --> 01:03:05

just read another section here because

01:03:06 --> 01:03:11

oh, look, look, I'm telling you as much as don't think, right. Look

01:03:11 --> 01:03:15

at look at the chapter. Look at what the chapter is called. A

01:03:15 --> 01:03:18

specialist don't think right? Unreal.

01:03:20 --> 01:03:24

It's uncanny. Right? must agree on a lot of them.

01:03:26 --> 01:03:29

Let's skip this section and go reach to that section right away

01:03:29 --> 01:03:32

because I'm really curious what he said. Many people I meet have

01:03:32 --> 01:03:35

wondered why I believe in God, some people ask, but most people

01:03:35 --> 01:03:40

don't get it. Some people ask semicolon, but most people don't.

01:03:40 --> 01:03:43

Their curiosity, I imagine is the same. How can anybody be so sure

01:03:43 --> 01:03:47

God exists? Has this guy just been indoctrinated? Or maybe it works

01:03:47 --> 01:03:51

for him? But there's no real way to know is there? I don't usually

01:03:51 --> 01:03:54

get a chance to answer these questions. The existential

01:03:54 --> 01:03:59

questions are not automatic turn off, or are an automatic turn off

01:03:59 --> 01:04:02

nowadays, even though everybody longs for answers.

01:04:03 --> 01:04:07

Get why we exist and all that stuff. It's not fashionable to ask

01:04:07 --> 01:04:09

these questions these days, but everyone truly wants to know.

01:04:10 --> 01:04:15

As for those with whom I have had enough time to kick back and just

01:04:15 --> 01:04:18

speak openly, usually friends who are not afraid to be critical of

01:04:18 --> 01:04:22

themselves or me. They most always, almost always end up

01:04:22 --> 01:04:25

remarking something to the effect of if it's so rational, why

01:04:25 --> 01:04:30

doesn't everyone believe in God? Okay, there Hey, could you put the

01:04:30 --> 01:04:34

you're putting the link right heavy? Good. Thank you. And for

01:04:34 --> 01:04:37

the youtubers that link to purchase it. There are a number of

01:04:37 --> 01:04:40

reasons why people do not accept the concept of a divine being

01:04:40 --> 01:04:43

there are those who carry baggage from certain past experiences.

01:04:43 --> 01:04:47

Others are allergic to religion being able to do little these two

01:04:47 --> 01:04:50

fronts this book is not for them. Okay, if you have any emotional if

01:04:50 --> 01:04:54

your emotional, you got some emotional issues. No offense, but

01:04:54 --> 01:04:58

you can't talk to you. Your bias what we call not his bias

01:04:58 --> 01:04:59

hysterical Oh sir.

01:05:00 --> 01:05:04

Yeah, people whose emotional gets dark, we can't deal with them. But

01:05:04 --> 01:05:09

most people have other reasons. And to whom this book may appeal.

01:05:10 --> 01:05:13

Hey, those who deemed sense experience the only reliable

01:05:13 --> 01:05:18

source of knowledge that scientism science, demonstrable sensory

01:05:18 --> 01:05:21

experiences the only source of knowledge. In other words, those

01:05:21 --> 01:05:23

who say if God exists, why can't he be more obvious? Why can't I

01:05:23 --> 01:05:28

see him directly? Okay? Those who do not see God as a necessary

01:05:28 --> 01:05:31

explanation, those who have not challenged their own framework

01:05:31 --> 01:05:35

strongly. Which is true of any of us who follow a belief system, not

01:05:35 --> 01:05:38

just atheism, so like a Christian person who is Christian, but if

01:05:38 --> 01:05:41

you ask them, Hey, you're so into this, but did you ever study

01:05:41 --> 01:05:42

anything else? No.

01:05:43 --> 01:05:45

And there are a lot of that in the Protestant camp.

01:05:46 --> 01:05:50

Those who have accepted the views of people believe to be smarter

01:05:50 --> 01:05:57

than themselves. Right people who are who watch Neil deGrasse Tyson

01:05:57 --> 01:06:00

think he's so smart, right? You can't be wrong or what's the other

01:06:00 --> 01:06:02

guy's name Jordan Peterson now?

01:06:04 --> 01:06:08

Oh, musical that atheist from England. Oh, Richard Dawkins,

01:06:08 --> 01:06:12

Richard Dawkins. Those who have accepted the view of people, they

01:06:12 --> 01:06:15

believe smarter. This point is particular to atheists in our

01:06:15 --> 01:06:19

current scientific Millia. Right. You ask everyone okay, well,

01:06:19 --> 01:06:23

evolution, never seen it. Oh, no. But scientists saw it where

01:06:23 --> 01:06:27

they're going to tell me what's up the fast finches. The birds,

01:06:27 --> 01:06:30

right, those birds? What are those birds called in the Galapagos

01:06:30 --> 01:06:33

Islands? Really? you're transmitting that everyone says

01:06:33 --> 01:06:37

that same example the finches on the Galapagos Islands. Okay.

01:06:39 --> 01:06:43

Okay, the first group who say God does not exist, because they have

01:06:43 --> 01:06:48

not seen him suffer the same as anybody who claims that they do

01:06:48 --> 01:06:52

not see that what they do not see does not exist, it is the weakest

01:06:52 --> 01:06:53

form of reasoning.

01:06:55 --> 01:06:58

But the last category, those who follow what they perceive our

01:06:58 --> 01:07:02

beliefs of smarter people are the ones I have the greatest objection

01:07:02 --> 01:07:07

with today. That often ends up meaning intellectuals in popular

01:07:07 --> 01:07:11

hard sciences such as STEM science, technology, engineering,

01:07:11 --> 01:07:14

math education, there are a number of reasons why following their

01:07:14 --> 01:07:18

belief is dangerous academic achievement is not inherently

01:07:18 --> 01:07:22

joined at the hip with atheism. But actually it does not matter.

01:07:22 --> 01:07:26

Even if it were an idea being Vogue within the scientific

01:07:26 --> 01:07:30

community does not make it true. Otherwise, that would have been a

01:07:30 --> 01:07:33

valid reason for believing that Jesus was God. 100 years ago, when

01:07:33 --> 01:07:36

most scientists were Christians, scientists, we find are no

01:07:36 --> 01:07:40

different than any of us whose conclusions are deeply influenced

01:07:40 --> 01:07:44

by personal interests, beliefs, and wishes. See, for example, in

01:07:44 --> 01:07:49

samples book, Nobel winners, declare Nobel Winner declares

01:07:49 --> 01:07:51

boycott of top scientific journals.

01:07:52 --> 01:07:57

Okay, even the peer reviewing process does not escape these

01:07:57 --> 01:07:58

biases.

01:08:00 --> 01:08:04

But since 93% of leading scientists have been rejecting any

01:08:04 --> 01:08:07

form of religion or soup, or spirituality, their influence on

01:08:07 --> 01:08:11

what scientific journals publish, and what information the public

01:08:11 --> 01:08:15

receives is very real. God within the academic milieu of atheism,

01:08:15 --> 01:08:20

for example, were published the findings of Mark Hauser, former

01:08:20 --> 01:08:24

Harvard professor, his research demonstrated the moral superiority

01:08:24 --> 01:08:28

of atheists moral. In a twist of irony, Hauser became the

01:08:28 --> 01:08:31

embodiment of his own premises defeat, he was notoriously caught

01:08:31 --> 01:08:34

for fraudulent research Suhana believable.

01:08:35 --> 01:08:41

But it was not that an atheist had been manipulating the truth which

01:08:41 --> 01:08:46

was alarming, but rather how errors readily pass academic

01:08:46 --> 01:08:50

checkpoints as long as they conform to the scientific

01:08:50 --> 01:08:52

community's desired conclusions.

01:08:54 --> 01:08:57

And he gives examples he it's all footnoted, there's footnotes

01:08:57 --> 01:08:58

everywhere in the book.

01:09:00 --> 01:09:02

He's basically done something that I would not have had the subs to

01:09:02 --> 01:09:08

do to go get footnotes and, you know, it is those views that crowd

01:09:08 --> 01:09:12

out the others. According to the philosopher of science Ilja,

01:09:12 --> 01:09:17

Massimo, most scientists employ the scientific method based on

01:09:17 --> 01:09:22

materialistic mechanistic and reductionist assumptions. So much

01:09:22 --> 01:09:26

so that research find fundings are affected. The more a vision

01:09:26 --> 01:09:30

deviates from the materialistic paradigm, the lower its status,

01:09:30 --> 01:09:34

and the less money it receives. It is due to these leanings says top

01:09:34 --> 01:09:37

ranking biologist Rupert Sheldrake, whose many well

01:09:37 --> 01:09:40

documented peer reviewed research papers run counter to the ideology

01:09:40 --> 01:09:43

of the community to which he belongs that a belief in

01:09:43 --> 01:09:47

materialism has indeed been propagated with remarkable

01:09:47 --> 01:09:51

success. Millions of people have been converted to the scientific

01:09:51 --> 01:09:55

view. They are, as it were devotees of the Church of science

01:09:55 --> 01:09:59

or of scientism of which scientists are the priestess. I

01:09:59 --> 01:10:00

believe we

01:10:00 --> 01:10:03

We must be aware of the biases of scientists whom we put on

01:10:03 --> 01:10:07

pedestals before we adopt their beliefs. They're human beings.

01:10:07 --> 01:10:10

They have biases, they have a philosophy. They have a desired

01:10:10 --> 01:10:13

conclusion, like all this stuff with Neanderthal man and all these

01:10:13 --> 01:10:19

things. I always say, guys, these guys have a conclusion in mind,

01:10:19 --> 01:10:21

then they saw the evidence together, right?

01:10:23 --> 01:10:26

Okay, I believe we must be aware of these biases of scientists whom

01:10:26 --> 01:10:30

we put on a pedestal before we adopt their beliefs. Sociology of

01:10:30 --> 01:10:35

science confirms that uncritically adopting anyone's view within

01:10:35 --> 01:10:38

their field of authority, let alone outside their field of

01:10:38 --> 01:10:42

authority is risky. It subjects us to incorrect conclusions. So do

01:10:42 --> 01:10:45

not be surprised if throughout your reading, you catch yourself

01:10:45 --> 01:10:50

wondering how that which is making sense to you is at odds with what

01:10:50 --> 01:10:55

smart people may have concluded. Thinking for ourselves is a good

01:10:55 --> 01:10:58

thing. Actually, it is more intellectually rigorous to

01:10:58 --> 01:11:02

formulate an opinion based on information than to follow an

01:11:02 --> 01:11:09

authority. Okay. Specialists don't think right, he says, Okay. Apart

01:11:09 --> 01:11:13

from their mortifying bias. I just read the wrong chapter, by the

01:11:13 --> 01:11:16

way, especially as don't think right was not what I was reading.

01:11:16 --> 01:11:19

I was reading why people are atheists. I don't know how I I

01:11:19 --> 01:11:24

skipped that. Good. But apart from the mortifying bias, there is

01:11:24 --> 01:11:28

another downside to accepting the beliefs of scientists unchecked

01:11:28 --> 01:11:32

specializations, specialization forces them to think in a vacuum

01:11:32 --> 01:11:38

specialization is a prized goal in scientific endeavor. But learning

01:11:38 --> 01:11:42

more and more about less and less until we know almost everything

01:11:42 --> 01:11:45

about almost nothing has its pitfalls.

01:11:46 --> 01:11:49

For one, our findings may be irrelevant to the real world. Take

01:11:49 --> 01:11:53

how a pharmaceutical agent may alter an enzymatic pathway in the

01:11:53 --> 01:11:57

body as an example, the drug may elicit the desired change at the

01:11:57 --> 01:12:00

biochemical level in a controlled lab environment, but it may not

01:12:00 --> 01:12:04

produce any clinically significant outcomes in test subjects. In

01:12:04 --> 01:12:07

other words, years of successful research does not actually lead to

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

any real life benefit. This is why we have on site classes for teens.

01:12:12 --> 01:12:17

We have youth night, we have soup kitchen, we have Dawa, we have

01:12:17 --> 01:12:21

live stream so that when people go to Dr. FET, and study they do not

01:12:21 --> 01:12:24

spend years and years and they come out realizing oh, this was

01:12:24 --> 01:12:28

irrelevant, right? I have to relearn how to live now. And how

01:12:28 --> 01:12:31

people think I literally took this just this year. I like what he was

01:12:31 --> 01:12:35

describing about like, just when you study a drug? Yeah, they study

01:12:35 --> 01:12:38

like, yeah, sure it's effective. But now is it clinically like

01:12:38 --> 01:12:40

relevant? Is it gonna work? Is it like, is it practical? Like

01:12:40 --> 01:12:43

essentially, like, are you gonna give it like, Is there gonna be

01:12:43 --> 01:12:46

like 13 shots like a patient? I suppose it like just one pill

01:12:46 --> 01:12:48

like, they can take like in the beginning of the day. Is it

01:12:48 --> 01:12:49

pragmatic? Yeah.

01:12:51 --> 01:12:54

You know, the guys at the top are always the super pragmatists.

01:12:54 --> 01:12:56

Yeah, that's why they're making the decisions.

01:12:57 --> 01:12:57

Okay.

01:12:59 --> 01:13:02

That is not to discount the immense benefit that we all enjoy

01:13:02 --> 01:13:06

as a result of academic inquiry. In other words, nerds are good

01:13:06 --> 01:13:11

days used to notice. But we must be wary when specialists claim

01:13:11 --> 01:13:13

that there are specialized discovery has certain

01:13:13 --> 01:13:15

applicability in larger context.

01:13:16 --> 01:13:19

This question of when a reduced finding can be appropriately

01:13:19 --> 01:13:22

generalized as a challenge that scientists have wrestled with

01:13:22 --> 01:13:25

since the 19th century, says Sheldrake.

01:13:26 --> 01:13:30

Those who believe in reductionism say that the whole can be

01:13:30 --> 01:13:34

understood by focusing on a part that the whole is not greater than

01:13:34 --> 01:13:37

what is composed of it. They are inclined to generalize limited

01:13:37 --> 01:13:41

findings to mean more than they actually may. As specialists

01:13:41 --> 01:13:45

dedicate a lifetime looking through a microscope, it may be

01:13:45 --> 01:13:48

understandable that they are inclined to reductionist analysis.

01:13:48 --> 01:13:52

After all, there are instances when it does one brick can teach

01:13:52 --> 01:13:56

us all we need to know about an entire wall. But reductionism does

01:13:56 --> 01:13:58

not always work. So well.

01:13:59 --> 01:14:03

The inherent flaw of reductionism and generalization was portrayed

01:14:03 --> 01:14:06

in a parable by the 13th century Eastern mystic Rumi, and more

01:14:06 --> 01:14:11

recently by the English writer John Godfrey * in his famous

01:14:11 --> 01:14:15

story of the blind men and the elephant. Basically, as such, as

01:14:15 --> 01:14:17

each of the blind men touches only one part of the elephant, he

01:14:17 --> 01:14:21

presumes that part is he is examining to represent the whole

01:14:21 --> 01:14:23

animal. The man who touches the tail declares the elephant must be

01:14:23 --> 01:14:27

like a snake, the one who feels a leg he says it must be like a tree

01:14:27 --> 01:14:31

like a pillar, and the one at the massive side, he says, it's like a

01:14:31 --> 01:14:34

wall the elephant is like a wall. Essentially, each man is a

01:14:34 --> 01:14:38

specialist. In the part he analyzes. The analogy portrays how

01:14:38 --> 01:14:43

someone focus intently may not see the greater image, okay, it can be

01:14:43 --> 01:14:46

related to how scientists who focus on one area of study are not

01:14:46 --> 01:14:49

in a position to comment effectively beyond it to do so

01:14:49 --> 01:14:51

they would need to consider the fields but don't they always come

01:14:51 --> 01:14:54

to us? You're an Imam, stop talking about economics and Ribba.

01:14:55 --> 01:14:59

Just stick to Tara and salah. And we'll do right that's what they

01:14:59 --> 01:14:59

always say.

01:15:00 --> 01:15:03

Whenever someone says anything about Riba, the guy whose whole

01:15:03 --> 01:15:06

business is based on Nova comes as Listen, I know, you don't

01:15:06 --> 01:15:09

understand economics. No, I don't understand your contracts know

01:15:09 --> 01:15:12

that I don't understand all those derivatives and all that stuff of

01:15:12 --> 01:15:15

your stocks and your contracts know that I don't understand but

01:15:15 --> 01:15:19

what Allah said about it that I do understand, right I do understand

01:15:19 --> 01:15:23

that Allah said these kinds of trades are haram. So you would

01:15:23 --> 01:15:24

then apply that to your contract now.

01:15:26 --> 01:15:29

Likewise, when they say the evolutionists, when when we say in

01:15:29 --> 01:15:33

Islam, Allah created Adam, directly without an antecedent.

01:15:34 --> 01:15:37

That's a fact. Right? In the Quran, though, you don't

01:15:37 --> 01:15:41

understand evolution, I don't need to write. When it comes to where

01:15:41 --> 01:15:44

Adam came from, I don't need to understand that field. They are

01:15:44 --> 01:15:46

not an authority on where Adam came from.

01:15:47 --> 01:15:51

They're speculating at the best they can ever get is a speculative

01:15:51 --> 01:15:54

answer, right? Because you weren't there. Think about it. Just

01:15:54 --> 01:15:57

epistemologically epistemological, you are not there. The best you

01:15:57 --> 01:16:01

could do is a very, very good case for how the first human being came

01:16:01 --> 01:16:07

about. Maximum It will be funny. Okay. Extremely speculative.

01:16:09 --> 01:16:16

Not even funny, Schottky or when me right when me LM imaginations,

01:16:16 --> 01:16:18

get filling in the blanks of the of the fossils.

01:16:20 --> 01:16:24

Like dinosaurs, probably maybe they look like that. Maybe not.

01:16:24 --> 01:16:26

They're filling in a lot of blanks. I was so like, shocked.

01:16:26 --> 01:16:29

You get to the dinosaur. You see one color and some bones or

01:16:29 --> 01:16:31

another go, Hey, why is that count? Well, I was just telling

01:16:31 --> 01:16:35

you that that was the bone. And that's like a filler.

01:16:36 --> 01:16:39

Yeah, because they didn't have all the bones. It filled in the

01:16:39 --> 01:16:45

blanks, right? So Oh, ham, oh, ham is when you have like less than 50

01:16:45 --> 01:16:46

less than 49%.

01:16:48 --> 01:16:52

Likelihood are even less than that. Far less than that. Check is

01:16:52 --> 01:16:59

like 5051 is more 51% or more. European is 100%. Well, as a

01:16:59 --> 01:17:03

Muslim, I'm not talking to the non believers here talking to the

01:17:03 --> 01:17:08

Muslims, the Quran is provides you again. And when Allah repeat

01:17:08 --> 01:17:10

something over and over with language that cannot be

01:17:10 --> 01:17:14

interpreted away, I have absolutely a pain that Allah

01:17:14 --> 01:17:16

created Adam without an antecedent, antecedent, like a

01:17:16 --> 01:17:19

mother or a father. Right?

01:17:21 --> 01:17:25

Or an amoeba or anything. Right. And that was my whole debate with

01:17:25 --> 01:17:28

another day, right? A long time ago.

01:17:29 --> 01:17:32

And I don't even know where he stands on it. And he said, Allah

01:17:32 --> 01:17:35

is not a statue maker. We said yes, Adam was a statue. He was

01:17:35 --> 01:17:38

hard like this. So sod and CalHFA car it's in the book.

01:17:39 --> 01:17:43

It's in the Quran, Sol Sol and CalHFA car you can knock on him

01:17:43 --> 01:17:45

like that. You could do that to Adam at one point.

01:17:47 --> 01:17:50

And when is a mammal ever subsonic alpha in the development of a

01:17:50 --> 01:17:51

mammal

01:17:53 --> 01:17:58

when they're dead, right? And even that you can't knock right? It all

01:17:58 --> 01:18:03

is powder shatter into into pieces, right? So saw the *

01:18:03 --> 01:18:07

Khalifa car go explain it. Right and I'm not this is just like my

01:18:07 --> 01:18:10

theory of Adam's existence or is this like the entire OMA

01:18:11 --> 01:18:15

go looking at itself as you Adam was fashioned and he was made and

01:18:15 --> 01:18:19

he was clay and hollow on the inside, you could knock on him and

01:18:19 --> 01:18:22

there was like an echo too, because we have hollowness, right?

01:18:22 --> 01:18:25

There's hollowness in the human being. So

01:18:26 --> 01:18:30

this person was saying know that he had an antecedent, right? So

01:18:30 --> 01:18:33

even if you did, even if a Muslim evolutionist

01:18:34 --> 01:18:38

firstly, your marriage is nullified your gift. There is

01:18:38 --> 01:18:42

indeed that belief is yours, Hindu, Muslim evolutionist and by

01:18:42 --> 01:18:45

the way, some people say no, no, he's dead down. Okay, fair enough.

01:18:47 --> 01:18:47

Whatever.

01:18:48 --> 01:18:52

You are way out there, whether you're like a homerun, it's past

01:18:52 --> 01:18:56

the wall right? Whether it's out of the park, section one section

01:18:56 --> 01:18:59

two or out of the park, you're out right of the truth. You're far

01:18:59 --> 01:19:00

from the truth.

01:19:01 --> 01:19:04

Because I remember debating with my friend is the Muslim

01:19:04 --> 01:19:08

evolutionist. He said that it's a bit more festive, according to his

01:19:08 --> 01:19:12

scholars, but according to who I watch it from it's been I'm okay

01:19:12 --> 01:19:12

Farah.

01:19:14 --> 01:19:16

Copy. And it's whatsoever.

01:19:17 --> 01:19:20

Yeah, and it's modeled in a gym with regard to data.

01:19:21 --> 01:19:21

Next,

01:19:23 --> 01:19:25

if you were to scientifically explained that Adam came from this

01:19:25 --> 01:19:28

animal who came from this animal came from this, why don't you

01:19:28 --> 01:19:31

still have to come to something in which Allah says configuring,

01:19:31 --> 01:19:35

right? So why are you kicking the can down the road? Why would it be

01:19:35 --> 01:19:39

difficult for a lot to create a particle? You don't find it

01:19:39 --> 01:19:41

difficult? Eventually, you're gonna have to at least Allah will

01:19:41 --> 01:19:44

say, could for a particle to exist, right? What's the

01:19:44 --> 01:19:47

difference for Allah to say couldn't for a particle, or human

01:19:47 --> 01:19:52

being or an entire universe, same for Allah? Right? All of it could

01:19:52 --> 01:19:56

exist in the blink of an eye. And less than that, by saying Could a

01:19:56 --> 01:20:00

particle could exist? A whole human could exist an entire

01:20:00 --> 01:20:03

Higher society with a universe and a world could exist when Allah

01:20:03 --> 01:20:07

says confit. What's the difference? As hard to believe as

01:20:07 --> 01:20:08

a Muslim. In any event,

01:20:10 --> 01:20:13

essentially, each man is a specialist in the part and they

01:20:13 --> 01:20:17

portray the whole to be what they imagined and they do not see the

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

greater image it can be related to how scientists who focus on one

01:20:20 --> 01:20:24

area of study are not opposites, comets are effectively beyond it

01:20:24 --> 01:20:27

to do so they would need to consider the fields of others.

01:20:27 --> 01:20:33

Okay. To give you another example of this, someone says to you is

01:20:33 --> 01:20:34

the

01:20:35 --> 01:20:42

Hindu god, Is he real? And you say no, is covered and is not real? He

01:20:42 --> 01:20:44

says, Yeah, but you don't know anything about the Hindu gods.

01:20:45 --> 01:20:49

What do I need to know? All right. All I need to know is that in

01:20:49 --> 01:20:53

Islam, we don't have schicke all these idols are false. I don't

01:20:53 --> 01:20:57

need to know any information about your idols except that you worship

01:20:57 --> 01:21:01

it. Then it's I can say it's false. So false God got to do so

01:21:01 --> 01:21:05

they would need to consider other fields it is to this that

01:21:05 --> 01:21:05
