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