So the first obligation we said is to
know that Allah exists.
How do we know that Allah exists?
Number one, through Qur'an and Sunnah.
Number two, through the natural world, the physical
sciences.
And number three, by learning from the ulama
and the mashayikh and teachers who are qualified
to teach us.
It's very important.
So he says, يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمُكَلَّفِ مَعْرِفَةُ مَا
يَجِبُ لِلَّهِ The first thing he said, فَيَجِبُ
لِلَّهِ الْوُجُودِ We say, وَاجِبَ الْوُجُودِ Allah's existence
is fard.
It's an obligation, shar'an and aqlan.
It's an obligation based on text and also
the intellect.
The text, we said numerous texts, they tell
us Allah exists.
But number two, we know the law of
thermodynamics, matter is constantly in the state of
destruction.

means something created matter.
And something, I memorized the book, sorry, I
don't have the book with me, I memorized
this book.
Something is causing it to exist and something
is causing it to be destroyed because matter
cannot do it.
So whatever, pay attention, created matter is not
matter.
And that's how we respond to Christianity.
Jesus is matter.
Jesus lived in a physical space.
Jesus lived in a physical time.
He walked like a human being.
He talked like a human being.
He ate, he slept.
