Oftentimes people ask me, how can I find

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

that transformative knowledge of Allah that's gonna shake

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

me, bake me, and make me? Well subhanAllah,

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

there is a very important axiom that I

00:00:10 --> 00:00:13

heard from doctor Fajad Jabbar Al Awani, and

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

I read in Minhajul Abideen of Imam Abu

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

Hamad al Khazari.

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

Remember this axiom

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

by reading revelation

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

and reading the creation.

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

By bringing those together

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

as we say.

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

The evidence for this is found at the

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

end of Surah Tawlaq. Allah

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

says, Allah

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

Allah created 7 heavens and 7 earths. Why

00:00:44 --> 00:00:45

at the end of the verse we find

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

so that you can know? So the creation

00:00:48 --> 00:00:49

of these things

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

is a means for you to know something.

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

What will you know by thinking and pondering

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

on them?

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

That Allah is all powerful.

00:01:08 --> 00:01:11

And that Allah's knowledge is transcended. So reading

00:01:11 --> 00:01:11

creation

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

and reading revelation, spending time out in the

00:01:14 --> 00:01:17

beautiful creation of Allah is a way to

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18

achieve the ibnillah

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

and Na'ib of Allah that is transformative

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

and earth shaking.
