Welcome back to the hicom of Sayna Imam
imam.
As we said before, the purpose of the
hikam is to explain the phrase which the
prophet called a treasure from the treasures of
Jannah.
You may be asking why does it take
so long
to produce this? When I was really occupied
at the university, that's why I pulled away
to give this a full time effort.
But most importantly, like,
this is heavy stuff to teach and to
live with.
So when I come across these hacom and
I review them and I study them, they
impact me. And so it takes time to
sort of calibrate
and put into words,
like, these hikim.
Shatan
means it's called
which means
it's a noun as like a verb.
And that's how you can tell
a book
is is layered in different knowledges that you
have to know if you wanna learn it
and if you wanna teach it. And to
be honest with you, the hiccup is like
coffee cake. It's very dense, it's very thick.
You have to have knowledge of the Ilmukkareem.
I I encourage anyone who's teaching the hikom
that has not studied Ilmukkareem
not to teach it. You have to have
Arabic language, you have to have balara, you
have to have mantak, you have to have
usulufik, you have to have firk
or you may inadvertently
provide meanings which don't align with the different
layers of knowledge which are in the text.
So
there's a great distance.
The one who evidences
with Allah.
Is it heavy?
And he's getting here at a higher level
of consciousness. That someone that doesn't use the
world to prove god,
they can use god to prove the world.
That's deep.
So it's a means where.
Where. In Balaga there's a reason why he
used el.
We're not gonna talk about that now because
that would kind of take us off off
where we're
headed. But here, there's a difference between the
one between the one who
evidences
god
to prove creation
and the one who evidences the creation
to prove God.
That's what he's saying. And he
says The one who uses God,
Allah
as the foundational proof for everything around us,
is the one who makes the truth known
to those who can recognize
it.
And is able to
use this
to touch the hearts of the people
and also to use the existence
as we talk about in
And now you see the purpose of the
elokalam with the hicom.
Because when he says
that Allah is the only
true
permanent infinite thing that exists.
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
So the one who can use it as
the foundation for everything
is going to touch the hearts of the
people, the people who are looking for the
truth.
And those who use
creation to evidence God
is because they haven't came to the proper
conclusion that Allah is.
So you can see imam,
ibn al ta'ala was was Ashari.
So his format of teaching is going to
come from what I teach you in the
essentials of Islamic faith.
And now hopefully you can appreciate how Swiss
works together.
You see that?
So the sheikh is saying
And he said, if that's not the case,
then when has Allah ever been absent so
that he would need someone to prove his
existence?
Ta'ala.
And when has he been so distant
from his creation?
That you need the creation to prove him.
This is not underlining verses of the Quran.
Quran.
He's not saying that
these things cannot be used,
but they shouldn't come first.
We should not use the creation to shape
the creator.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is beyond the shape.
We should not use the creation
necessarily as the foundation by which we understand
the creator and the Dean.
This is very important now in the age
of social media. Dan Malone has a great
study that shows the more people are on
social media, the less they truly understand their
surroundings.
What he's saying is that get to knowing
Allah properly,
learn the foundations of faith correctly,
and then use that to interpret the world
around you. Not the world
to interpret Allah, Zohojal.
And that's a higher level of consciousness,
a higher level of presence,
a clear lens by which we see.
We ask Allah
InshaAllah we're gonna mention it one more time.
