00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			So the discussion continues in which Allah Subhanahu
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			Wa Ta'ala presents before us his might, his
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			power, his happenings, his doings and coupled with
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			that Allah explains to us how feeble, weak
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:58
			and
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			defeated man is. Right? Marvel at the sky
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			above you.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			We've raised it without any pillars.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			Look at the sky. Can you find any
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			defect in it? Any inconsistency
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:16
			in it?
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			Your gains will return to you defeated
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			because our creation is flawless, faultless,
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:25
			impeccable.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			Allah is infallible.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			Allah is infallible.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			So what does Allah say here in verse
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			63?
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			Who's the one that guides you in the
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			darkness of night
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			using the aid of stars
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			to navigate? Who's given you the ability of
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			the of of of navigation? And even today
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			with all modern technology,
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:48
			if it's not,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			you know,
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			the the the resources of nature are not
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			favorable,
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			things things
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			take a different turn.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			Pilot cannot land because of inclement weather. The
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			winds are very strong cross winds.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			The aircraft just cannot land. Allah speaks about
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			this in Surah Shura in, just 25.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			Allah can stop the winds and halt the
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			vessel on the back of the ocean and
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			it will become
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			stagnant.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			Oh, man. Why are you then arrogant?
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			All this I've given to you to make
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			your life wholesome, to make your life meaningful
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			so that you bow before me, so that
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			you prostrate before me, so that you recognize
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			me. So verse 63,
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			Who is the Bein? Yaddikum
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			guides you. Fiin,
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:43
			volumah
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			darkness, Bahr in the ocean.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			Right? And you know, when you are in
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			the dead of that ocean and the waters
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			are rough and the tides are high
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:55
			and,
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			now it's it's looking, you know what,
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			precarious, and you don't have any sense of
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:03
			direction. I mean, just a simple person swimming,
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			and then you're enveloped by a wave, and
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			just when you wanna get your your space
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			and your breath, and then you're hit by
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			another wave, and the water just washes you
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			away. What happens to you for those few
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			moments? Your heart is in your mouth.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			You go through a panic, and, of course,
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			the panic exacerbates the situation. This is one
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			person that's just been washed away by one
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			wave, and you know you're confident, you're calm,
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			you're,
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			you know what, an, avid swimmer, you you
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			know the terrain, you've been in these waters
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			before, and this this is a major vessel
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			and people are out there and suddenly the
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			winds change and the direction change and the
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			storms come, what's going to happen to you?
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			Allah reminds you of that.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			Who guides you on land?
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			You use the stars for navigation, and then
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			the landmarks. There are trees. There are landmarks.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			There are posts through which you find your
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			sense of direction. When you go and see
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			people living, you know, what, in rural areas
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			and there's no phone and there's no device
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			and there's no,
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:04
			you know,
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			navigation devices, etcetera.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			How do they navigate using the tree, using
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			this post, using that post?
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23
			And who sends the winds of glad tidings
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:23
			to you,
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			ahead of
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			mercy, meaning rain?
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			So you're sitting. It's hot. It's scorching. It's
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:30
			sweltering.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			And everybody feels the need of rain just
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36
			to take away this heat. And suddenly the
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			wind blows and the breeze follows through and
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			there's a sense of coolness,
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			and there's a sense of anticipation,
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			and there's a sense of optimism,
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			and you just feel in the hot and
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			you're hoping for rain. What about the farmer
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			who cannot look his livestock in their eyes
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			and you could see everything has just dried
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			and withered away, and then comes that rain.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			And as much as you get a tanker
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			and you get water,
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			nothing can do that heavy downpour of rain.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			Your simple garden, you can water it the
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:08
			whole season, but that one rain that comes
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			down from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, what it
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			does to that garden is just unique.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			So who is this? Woman, who's the bee
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			in your sense?
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			Ria. And yet again, we we marvel and
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			we appreciate.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24
			Ria in its plural form in the Quran
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:27
			is reference as the winds of mercy the
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			winds of mercy. So in the singular form,
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			it comes in the wind of adab.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			Right?
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:42
			Or
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			And then look at look at look at
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			how the the words of the prophet
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			tie up with the Quran. When the winds
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			blow, what is the dua? I mean, do
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			you know my brother, there is a dua
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
			for when the winds blow?
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			Can you understand the richness of your faith?
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			When the thunder strikes, when the lightning comes,
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			did you know there's a dua? Are you
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			aware there is a name of a chapter
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			in the Quran called lightning called thunder?
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			When it's lightning, when it's thundering,
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			when it's stormy, when the winds blow
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40
			That's why I say when you read and
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			it cannot move your heart,
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			then, then that heart has died.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			The disbelievers said to the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			wasallam,
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:51
			But for Sunayman
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			the
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:53
			winds
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			used to move. For Dawud
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:57
			the mountains
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			used to read and sing along with
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:01
			him. For Isa
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			he would revive the dead by the command
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			of Allah.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			Why is it that you cannot display those
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			miracles?
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:10
			So, Allah says,
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			The context of that verse is
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27
			as as explained by the scholars. Their hearts
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			are such that the Quran
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			has moved
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			moved the hearts of people, inspired people,
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37
			and even if the Quran
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			was to, you know, make
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:43
			make the mountains move,
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			or make,
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			through the miracle of the Quran, allow the
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:51
			dead to speak. These people's hearts have been
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:54
			sealed to such a level that they will
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
			not accept it. May Allah save us from
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			that. May Allah save us from that. This
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			is,
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01
			where the heart gets so blocked and sealed
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			that you can see so much, you can
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			witness so much, and yet nothing changes.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			That is Mahazuf, you know, in the context
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			of the ayah as the scholars tell us.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			Okay. So we discuss in this verse,
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			who is the being who sends the winds,
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			giving glad tidings.
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			Before the rain comes. When the rain came
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			down, again, the prophet said,
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			we received rain through the mercy of Allah.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			Some people said, we received rain
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:39
			because of this cloud and because of this
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			scientific fact and because of this explanation.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			These are people who bring iman on the
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			apparent and they deny Allah. And a believer
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			is one who says,
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			We received rain, beneficial rain,
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			The question repeated,
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			do you still have the audacity to argue
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			and to say that there is someone else
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:02
			with Allah?
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:07
			Allah is exalted and above all what you've
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:08
			blurred.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			Allah is way above that.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			Do you blurt regarding Allah things which you
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17
			don't know?
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:25
			The ire,
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:32
			releases a sharp warning that don't make your
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:34
			own judgments and your own conclusions
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			and your own expressions regarding Allah
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			Don't give your own analogies and similes and
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:48
			parables regarding Allah. Yes. As Allah has said
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:49
			it to us,
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53
			When and how? In the manner and the
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:56
			context in which Allah has conveyed, that's how
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			we relay it and that's how we convey
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			it. Okay. We move on.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			Who's the one who created you the first
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:05
			time?
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			So Asbin Wa'il comes and he picks up
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			a bone that was crushed and decomposed and
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			he dropped it before the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:13
			wasallam, and he says that this.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			So you want me to believe that your
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			Lord has the muscle and the clout and
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			the authority and the ability to revive this
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:22
			after it's decomposed.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24
			So Allah says
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			What a cheek. What an audacity.
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:33
			He's throwing an example at us and he
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34
			forgot who created him.
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:36
			Wanna see a Khaluka?
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:39
			You know the child
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			who probably didn't have,
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:44
			developed speech at the age of children, and
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			may Allah grant ease and afirea to anyone
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			and everyone.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			May Allah help and aid and assist and
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:52
			grant afirea. And then you took him from
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			speech therapist to speech therapist
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			and finally he developed the ability and now,
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58
			mashaAllah, he can speak. And then when he
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			can speak, he tells his father, but you
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			did nothing for me.
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:02
			What?
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			My boy, you couldn't speak.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			My nights were restless.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			My life was restless.
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			My whole day and night was worried about
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:15
			you. I was hopping, running, visiting this therapist,
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:18
			that therapist. Finally, when you develop speech, you're
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			challenging the man who who did everything for
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:21
			you to speak.
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			Allah says, I created you.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:26
			Created
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:32
			you. I created shape, fashion, design in the
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			manner in which he wanted and then gave
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:34
			you
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			a speech. I created you from a fluid.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			And then when you could speak, you say,
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:42
			but who said this god?
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:45
			But this is illogical, man. There's too much
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			suffering in the world. Yes.
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:50
			The the this is the the the the
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			mind, the thinking mind, the evolving mind, the
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:55
			inquisitive mind, the academic mind, the philosophical mind.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			No. It doesn't make sense for me to
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:00
			tie up the happenings of this world and
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01
			the procedures and everything.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			I'm what?
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07
			The human brain has only so much capacity.
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			If you venture into domain which is beyond
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			its scope, it's going to be darkness for
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:15
			you Because your scope you're you're going into
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			terrain which is beyond your scope.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			If a patient is going into theater
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:24
			and he has no understanding of medical science
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:25
			and he wants to ask the doctor, wait
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			wait wait. What's this and his dentist doing
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			here? No. No. No. That needle is too
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			long. No. No. You don't use a knife
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:34
			like that. No. How dare you cut me?
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			No. What?
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			Wait. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Are
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			you the surgeon or am I the surgeon?
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:42
			Well, if I'm the surgeon, trust my expertise,
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			human to human,
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			creation to creation.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			One has the signs, the other one is,
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:52
			not acquainted with the signs. But he trusts
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			the vision of the one who has it.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			This is Allah.
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57
			Back off.
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			Surrender. He knows what's happening.
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:02
			Don't venture into terrain that is not in
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			your space. The the the the human doesn't
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			have the capacity to comprehend.
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			The why, what, when, who, how. That's Allah's
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			knowledge. Why did this happen to him? Why
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			did that happen? That's Allah's knowledge. Yes. He's
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			tasked me. If that one is poor, I
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			need to help him. If Allah has given
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			me, I need to empower him. If this
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			person is difficulty, I must assist him. So
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			I've got rules and guidance and obligations to
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			do, but not to venture into the why,
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:26
			what, and when.
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			Oh, may Allah. May Allah save us from
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:31
			our
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:34
			1 of the twas again. Now.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			Allah don't let our hearts deviate please Allah.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
			Allah we beg you, Allah we beseech you,
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:42
			Allah we implore.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			Like, oh, man. I I don't even know
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			where to how to explain myself.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			There's a constant guidance, inspiration,
		
00:13:58 --> 00:13:58
			motivation.
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			You know, in in every regard, you're getting
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:01
			perspective.
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			Don't let our hearts deviate.
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			One of the repeated duas of the prophet
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			oh the controller of hearts. Oh the turn
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			of hearts. Keep our hearts aligned. Keep our
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:23
			hearts focused.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			The companions
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:26
			said
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:29
			Are you fearing that we will launch you,
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			we will abandon you, we will give up
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:34
			the mission That you repeatedly asking Allah, you
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			know, for this prayer, what's the wisdom behind
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:37
			it? He said,
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:44
			The hearts are in Allah's control and Allah
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:45
			can turn the heart of any person in
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:48
			any direction at any time. You know, people
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			want to challenge this here.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52
			You as a boss have the authority and
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:53
			the prerogative
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:54
			and the muscle
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56
			to lay off someone,
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:57
			to,
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00
			terminate someone's,
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			employment,
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			and you wanna take action as if it's
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			my company. I'm entitled. No. Finish. You don't
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			come back. Monday, we don't see you. But
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			why? I don't finish. It's my company. What
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:10
			you gonna do? Yeah. We go. Go. Come.
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			We'll go. We'll we'll we'll we'll fight the
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			legal battle. You roll your sleeves, I roll
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			my sleeves. I come with my legal team.
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			You come with your legal eagles. We'll fight
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:20
			it. So you are in charge of 1
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			2 by 2 shop, and you got power
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:24
			and authority and nobody can challenge you because
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:24
			it's yours.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:28
			Everything belongs to Allah. He's an absolute authority.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:29
			He can do as he wishes.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:32
			And then people want to challenge this year
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:34
			and say how is this correct and why
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36
			is this like this year? Allah is in
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37
			absolute control.
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:43
			Okay. Who created you the first time? And
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:44
			who is going to recreate you?
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			And who sustains you from the sky and
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:52
			the earth?
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:57
			Who sends down for you
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:00
			rain, who gives you all this produce from
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:00
			the earth,
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:04
			all this beautiful variety and lovely things that
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:07
			you eat and enjoy and indulge. Right? Lahman
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:08
			tariyyah,
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			who gives you this beautiful fresh
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:13
			meat, meaning fish from the ocean?
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:19
			Who allows you to eat the lamb and
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			and the cattle?
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			Who has given you all this option and
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:23
			variety?
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:28
			Who created you the first time?
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:33
			And who will resurrect you?
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			And who sustains you from the top and
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:39
			the bottom?
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:45
			Allah says, are you still gonna say, oh
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			man, are you still gonna argue? Do you
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:48
			still persist?
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			Has your brain been blocked off? Has it
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:53
			been shut off? Has it been sealed off?
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:57
			Is there a god and a deity and
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			a power,
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:00
			with Allah?
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:06
			Allah. Wow. Allah concludes the discussion here on
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:07
			this note
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:13
			Listen, we have given you proof, akel and
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:13
			knuckle,
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:17
			logical about the existence of Allah
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			Look at the fairness and the justice of
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			Islam. Allah has given you the intellect. Hence,
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:24
			when a person doesn't have intellect, he's mentally
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			impaired, then he's marafoorul kalam. The laws of
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			the shari'a don't apply to him. He will
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:29
			be excused.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			Or if he's a minor, still too he
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:34
			won't be tasked because the intellect hasn't evolved
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:34
			to a level
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:38
			of intellectual stimulation, engagement, understanding. So as a
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:41
			minor, a person will not be held accountable,
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:43
			because the threshold
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:45
			for the laws
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:48
			of the Sharia to apply to a person
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:48
			is puberty.
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			Now Allah has given you the intellect and
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53
			then He says, Look around you, everything tells
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			you.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			The greatness, the power, the might of Allah
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:59
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Then study the scriptures
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			in its original form. The Quran has been
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:05
			preserved in its original form. Study the scriptures
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:08
			that preceded the Quran in its unadulterated
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			form, and you will find the common theme
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:13
			of Tawhid. You will find the common message.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:15
			We've given it to you, now you still
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:18
			counter argue, you still counter argue,
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:19
			then Allah says,
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:24
			then present your proof and the truth be
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:27
			told, there is no proof. Concluding
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:31
			verses of
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			chapter 23 in Jude 18.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:38
			And whoever ascribes partners and calls out to
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:39
			a deity besides
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:43
			Allah. He will have no proof to this
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:44
			because Allah has no deity.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:54
			Allah will deal with him and for him
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:57
			there is no success. We ask Allah
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:00
			to keep our hearts aligned
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:03
			and never to cause our hearts to deviate.
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			Ameen, Ameen, You Rabbil 'Aalameen.
