00:00:51--> 00:00:57

Insha Allah today we will begin with the story of Adam Alayhis Salam in the Quran.

00:00:58--> 00:01:34

And the reason why we begin with the story of Adam Alayhis Salam, and in the Quran is because Adam really has Salam was a wonderful Bashar. He was the first human being, and he was also the first prophet. And the first story among the stories of the Quran of the prophets in the Quran, is in fact the story of the creation of Adam or the his Salaam. And this is why it is best to begin this series of stories from the Quran with the story of Adam and his Salah

00:01:35--> 00:01:45

other morning salaam who was the first human being on Earth, the first prophet, and his story is also the first story in the book of Allah.

00:01:47--> 00:02:35

We learned in the Hadith that a man as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, an obedient Kana Adam, was Adam Alayhis Salam, a prophet and the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam replied Neram Yes, he was a prophet. And he was also McCallum, meaning Allah subhanaw taala spoke to him directly. Generally we think that Musa alayhis salam, you know, he is the one whom Allah subhanaw taala spoke to directly because Musa alayhis salam is Karim Allah, but he is not the only prophet, with whom Allah subhanaw taala spoke with directly. We learn that men whom men can love Allah, among the prophets are those whom Allah subhanaw taala spoke with directly. And among them is of course

00:02:35--> 00:02:50

Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam whom Allah subhanaw taala spoke with directly at the occasion of marriage. And also before that, Allah subhanaw taala spoke to Adam Alayhis Salam directly, as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam also explained,

00:02:51--> 00:02:55

or the money his Salam was chosen by Allah.

00:02:56--> 00:03:46

Allah subhanaw taala chose Adam and his Salam above the rest of the creation. Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran, that in Allah has therefor Adam, one who had what Allah Ibrahim, what Allah Imran Island or Allah mean? That indeed Allah chose Adam and Allah chose Newar. And Allah chose the family of Ibrahim. And Allah chose the Family of Imran all over the worlds. The question is, how exactly did Allah subhanaw taala choose? Adam Alayhis Salam? Well, Allah subhanaw taala chose Adam and his salon by giving him preference over the world as we see in this idea Ireland Ireland mean meaning over the entire creation.

00:03:47--> 00:03:53

How, first of all, by creating him by his own hands.

00:03:55--> 00:04:00

Secondly, by blowing the soul into him the ruler into him,

00:04:01--> 00:04:21

then Allah subhanaw taala chose him gave him preference over the rest of the creatures by commanding the angels to make such that to him to prostrate to him. Allah subhanaw taala chose otherwise Salah by making him stay in Jannah Subhan Allah and he lived in Jannah

00:04:22--> 00:04:59

Allah subhanaw taala chose Adam and his Sarah by giving him knowledge by giving him wisdom by giving him the intellect the the ability to have free will and also have self regulation by which he became superior to the rest of the creation of the time. And this is why the Children of Adam really salaam the descendants of Adam really salaam are also superior to the rest of the creation. Allah subhanaw taala says one of the Khurana Burnie Adam, and certainly we gave honor

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

to the Children of Adam Alayhis Salam.

00:05:04--> 00:05:32

So think about it. Allah subhanaw taala honored Adam, and also the children of Adam. And for this favor, we should thank Allah azza wa jal, the favor that he made us human, he could have made us into any other creature, but Allah subhanaw taala chose to make you and I into human beings. He made us the Children of Adam, and this is a huge privilege, a huge honor.

00:05:33--> 00:05:45

Now, otherwise Santa is called a well all Bashar in it, the first human being, and he's also called Abu Bashar, the father of all humanity.

00:05:46--> 00:06:11

And we learned in a hadith, that on the Day of Judgment, the believers will go to Adam Alayhis Salam, and they will ask him, yeah, abana is stuff that Lana agenda that all our father have the gate of Paradise open for us. So they will address Adam or Lucena as who, as their father, they will say, oh our Father,

00:06:12--> 00:07:07

and He will reply to them, that it was nothing but the mistake of your father that brought you out of paradise. So I am not worthy of having its gates opened, go to my son Ibrahim, the friend of Allah. So in this hadith, we see that first of all people will call other Maria salaam, their father. Secondly, he will also refer to himself as their father, the father off of humanity. And then he will refer to Ibrahim at Islam as his son. Right, he said, he will say that go to my son Ibrahim. So other than husana is the first human being and the father of all humanity. Now otherwise, Salam is mentioned 25 times in the book of Allah, and his story and the story of his

00:07:07--> 00:07:26

creation, and the story of how he was in Jannah. And then how he was removed from there. This story is mentioned in several places in the Quran, it is mentioned in Surah Baqarah. It is mentioned in sort of Aarav. It is mentioned in Surah Surah. In surah. Toluca have in surah Taha

00:07:27--> 00:08:13

and this means that the story of Adam and his Salam is repeated in the Quran. You need as mentioned many times in the Quran, but it is mentioned in more detail in three places in sutra, Bacara sutra, Ara and surah Taha in, there's more detail in in these three sutras. The first thing I want to clarify is that when we see that the stories of the prophets are repeated in the Quran, in either mentioned one surah. And then they're again mentioned in another Surah. What is the wisdom behind that? Because typically, you know, we would think that if a story has been told once that that is sufficient, because people know about it, now, it doesn't need to be related again, right. And

00:08:13--> 00:08:57

typically, it happens that when someone tells you a story of their life once, and you get to know them better, but then they repeat that story again. And you know, you you're like, yes, you listen too long as if you're listening for the first time. But then if they repeat it a third or fourth time you say, Yeah, you told me that before, right? You get bored of listening to the same story again and again. Right? So why is it that Allah subhanaw taala repeats the story of other release Salaam in the Quran? Because first of all, this this teaches us that the Quran is not a book of information alone. Any it doesn't just give us knowledge and information. No, the Quran is for the

00:08:57--> 00:09:42

purpose of guidance. And when you are guiding, when you are reminding, then you don't just mention something important once you mentioned it repeatedly, and you mentioned it each time in a different way. So, this teaches us that the stories in the Quran are not for the purpose of of information, they are for the purpose of guiding us. Secondly, the repetition of the stories indicates the importance of these stories. He These are stories which are very important for us to to know which is why Allah subhanaw taala has repeated them in the Quran.

00:09:43--> 00:09:59

And thirdly, when a story is repeated over and over again, what happens is that the listener is able to remember it and know it very well. They're able to grasp it. They remember every detail big

00:10:00--> 00:10:28

As the first time you hear a story, it is possible that you miss some details. Right? you overlook some details. You don't pay attention to certain things, or certain lessons don't click. But then when the same story, you hear it, you read it the second time, you you notice things that you missed the first time you learn things that you missed the first time. Right and your knowledge, your overall knowledge of the story, it becomes stronger.

00:10:30--> 00:11:18

Then the repetition of stories in the Quran also reflects the different audiences that the Quran addresses. Because we see that for example, the story of Adam Rene Salaam is mentioned in total above, right and so Taha in great detail. And both of these sutras are actually McKee sutras. And in Mackay sutras primarily it is the the non Muslims who are addressed. So the style of narration is different. All right, on the other hand, suitor Bacala, where the story of other realism is also mentioned, is a mother Minnesota, and in Minnesota, it is mainly the Muslims who are addressed. So again, the style is different. And you will notice that when you tell a story to one person, you

00:11:18--> 00:11:43

relate it in a way that they can understand it, that they will be able to benefit from it. But the same story, when you relate it to a child, that what happens, your language is different, your vocabulary is different, the details you focus on are also different. Right? So the repetition reflects the different audiences who have been addressed when these stories have been related.

00:11:44--> 00:12:04

Then we see that the repetition of the stories in the Quran also shows us the eloquence of the Quran, because the same story is being repeated, but in a different style with different words. All right, so it shows us the the eloquence, the richness of the language of the Quran.

00:12:05--> 00:12:36

And then finally, the repetition of the stories in the Quran also establishes the truth of the Quran. Because when stories are made up, then what happens people over time and if if a person invents a story, right about what they did, for instance, they will give one version to one person, and the second time that they are narrating that story, they will maybe say something that contradicts the first version, right? And over time, you see that the lie is exposed.

00:12:37--> 00:13:24

But does the stories in the Quran even though they are repeated, they are consistent in the inspite of repetition, there is no contradiction. There are different details that we find in different passages so that we can develop a more detailed and thorough understanding, but there is no contradiction. So the story of other than Islam is mentioned more than once in the Quran. And our goal will be to go over all of the verses that talk about Adam really his sunnah. And Inshallah, what I'll do is that as we're going over, you know, for example, a passage that talks about the story of Adam Alayhis Salam, any verse that is similar, that is mentioned elsewhere, Inshallah, I

00:13:24--> 00:13:41

will quote it there. All right. So, first of all, let's go over the overview, basically, of the story of Adam and his salah. Okay, the overview of a brief overview of the story of other writers center. What is the story of Adam Rene Sena,

00:13:43--> 00:13:55

we see that before the creation of human beings before the creation of other his sin, Allah subhanaw taala had already created angels and the jinn.

00:13:56--> 00:14:25

The angels were made from light and their purpose is to engage in the praise and glorification of Allah subhanaw taala at all times. And it is well known that the angels never disobey Allah. So that is what the angels were doing from before any before even other money salon was created. Gym were made from fire, and gin have freewill. So of course, among them are those who are righteous, and those who were not.

00:14:27--> 00:14:59

And before the creation of Adam, Rene Salem, different creatures already existed, all right within the heavens, and also within the earth, different creatures already inhabited the earth. And according to many scholars, it is the jinn who predominantly inhabited the Earth. Just like right now you see that it is people who predominantly inhabit the earth, it doesn't mean that they're the only creatures that inhabit the earth. No, they predominantly inhabit the earth, meaning no matter where you go

00:15:00--> 00:15:35

It is basically human beings that you will find right now before it was the jinn who predominantly inhabited the earth and on and on account of their free will. They created a lot of mischief on Earth. They caused bloodshed and they were immersed in sin and in disbelief. So when Allah subhanaw taala, intended to create a new creation, and inhabit that on Earth, replace the jinn with the human beings on earth. He informed the angels about that.

00:15:36--> 00:15:46

So the angels enquired, they asked, that will you place on earth a creation that will cause mischief on Earth and caused bloodshed.

00:15:47--> 00:16:00

The angels made that assumption that this new creation will cause mischief on earth will cause bloodshed, why base based on their prior knowledge of what the jinn had done on the earth.

00:16:01--> 00:16:31

So, the angel said that we are already worshipping you, we are already glorifying You. So essentially, there is no need to create another creation, especially if that creation will also cause bloodshed and mischief on Earth. So there is no need. Allah subhanaw taala responded that I know what what you do not know. I know the good in creating this creation and you do not know of that good.

00:16:32--> 00:16:49

So, Allah subhanaw taala created Adam alayhis salam from clay and blew the soul into him and created his wife howa and brought out the souls of all of his children to be born until the Day of Judgment.

00:16:50--> 00:17:46

Then Allah subhanaw taala commanded the angels to prostrate to Adam. Why? So that all of why in order to establish the superiority of Adam Alayhis Salam over the angels, and by extension, all of the creation. So when Allah subhanaw taala commanded the angels to prostrate to Adam, it is well known that all of the angels prostrated in immediate obedience to the Command of Allah. But a bliss who is a jinn and was among the angels at the time, refused to obey the command of his Lord. And his refusal was based on Pride and thinking, you know, great of himself. He was displaying arrogance, and he gave the justification that I am better than Adam. So it does not befit me that I should

00:17:46--> 00:17:57

prostrate to Adam. And due to his refusal and disdain, Allah subhanaw taala removed IBLEES from his presence, and rendered him rejected and cursed.

00:17:59--> 00:18:18

Then Allah subhanaw taala caused Adam and his wife, however, to stay in paradise and told them to eat freely from wherever they wanted, and how much ever they pleased. And then Allah subhanaw taala pointed out a tree to them, and told them to not eat from that tree at all.

00:18:19--> 00:18:32

Now, when shaitan learned that Adam and howa are forbidden from eating from a particular tree, he got busy in trying to cause them to slip and eat from that tree.

00:18:34--> 00:19:17

So Adam and his son fell to the trap of bliss. And both Adam and Hauer ate of the tree, because of which the garments of paradise were taken away from them, and they were also removed from paradise. Otherwise, Sam realized his mistake, and he repented to Allah. And Allah subhanaw taala accepted his repentance and forgave him and chose him for his prophet hood. And Allah subhanaw taala sent him to the earth and caused the human race to grow and thrive on the earth from Adam and Hawa. So this is the brief overview of the story of Adam Alayhis Salam.

00:19:18--> 00:19:52

Now let's see how Allah subhanaw taala tells us the story in the Quran. How first of all, Allah subhanaw taala informed the angels about the fact that he was going to create Adam release center and how the angels responded to that. And then inshallah we'll talk about how Allah subhanaw taala created Adam ready center. So in the Quran in surah baqarah verse number 30 Allah subhanaw taala says, What if call her up boo Khalil mela equity in Niger Ilan Phil RT Khalifa.

00:19:53--> 00:19:59

Alo Eduardo fee have my newpsie Doofy Ha, where speak with Dima Wanda

00:20:00--> 00:20:06

New sub Bihu be humbucker when oppa de Sulak color in the RMO mela tarla moon.

00:20:07--> 00:20:40

And recall when your Lord said to the angels, that indeed I am going to make, I am going to place a point in the earth in Khalifa is successor, the angel said, Will you appoint in the earth, someone who will cause mischief in it, and someone who will cause bloodshed while we glorify you with your praise and declare your purity? Allah subhanaw taala said that indeed, I know what you do not know.

00:20:42--> 00:21:32

The ayah begins with what is called or Buka. And recall when your Lord said to be angels, the word in means when and there is an implied command over here, that old core recall when such and such happened. He remember the time recall the time when your Lord said to the angels and in this is actually an indication for us to imagine, alright, what you know, this conversation, to imagine this incident, you need to bring that to our mind, why, so that so that we can follow closely. So that we can be present in the story, we can pay attention, and we can

00:21:34--> 00:22:30

you know, we can relate with it and we can understand it better and we can take lessons from it. So what if a call or a book and recall when your Lord said, meaning, take yourself back to that time and recall, imagine in your mind, think in your mind, when your Lord said to the angels, the angels Mala Iike the word Mala is derived from Luca which means to send messages, all right to to deliver messages. And the angels are called Mala Iike because this is what they primarily do, they deliver they carry out the messages the instructions of Allah subhanaw taala within the universe. And the best of this is that they deliver ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada speech and he his revelation to people. And

00:22:30--> 00:23:19

this is why Angel Jibreel is the best of the angels because his role was to deliver Allah subhanaw taala is word to His messengers. Now the angels are a world of their own, and they are a creation that is separate from human beings that is separate from the jinn. And Allah subhanaw taala created them from light and they're they're known for their purity, because they do not commit sin, they do not disobey Allah and Allah subhanaw taala has assigned them different tasks which they carry out within the creation. So Allah subhanaw taala said to the angels were encountered a book a little Mala Ekati in Niger, I don't fill out the Khalifa.

00:23:20--> 00:23:26

Allah subhanaw taala is informing the angels that I am going to appoint in the earth is successor.

00:23:28--> 00:24:06

So Allah subhanaw taala is giving the angels the good news that a new creation will now inhabit the earth. And Allah subhanaw taala is informing them. Why? Because this matter would affect the angels. Right? Because the angels carry out different tasks within the universe. And now all of a sudden, on the earth there is a new creation that is going to predominantly inhabited. So the angels need to know. So Allah subhanaw taala informs them from before, right even though he's not obligated to as if he is giving them a good news.

00:24:07--> 00:24:48

In solid solid, Allah subhanaw taala says If Allah Abu Khalil Mala Ekati in the holly con Bashara mill pain, when your Lord said to the angels that indeed I am going to create a human being from clay. So here, Allah subhanaw taala says in Niger alone indeed I am one who makes one who appoints and in sort of solid Allah's pantherella says in the Holy Quran, I am one who creates Now notice, it has not been said that a neat local that I am one who that I am going to create any a verb has not been used, right.

00:24:49--> 00:24:59

Rather a noun has been used Gerald harlech Jerry is maker a pointer Kotick is creator

00:25:00--> 00:25:09

So a noun is used instead of a verb. Why? Because a noun grammatically is stronger than a verb.

00:25:10--> 00:25:38

Any, when you use a verb, it shows that the action is being done only once. All right, and it's just being done right now. But when a noun is used, that it shows that this action is done repeatedly or it's done in a stronger way. Any when a noun is used in place of a verb, it shows that the action is stronger, there is a difference between saying, I am cooking

00:25:40--> 00:26:33

from I am a cook. In it, there's a difference between saying I am cooking versus I am a cook. And a cook is a noun, right? You need someone who is known for cooking someone who is a master is someone whose specialty is cooking someone who knows how to cook. And if someone says I am cooking, well, that doesn't tell us anything about their their specialty, their strength, their ability to cook, and the way in which they will cook. Right? Likewise, if someone says I am teaching, versus I am a teacher, right, there is a difference I am teaching means I'm just doing it right now. And I'm a teacher means that this is my profession, right. And there is a difference in level of skill, which

00:26:33--> 00:27:16

will, which indicates difference in in the way that the action is done. So, when a noun is used in place of a verb, it shows that the action is much stronger, it is much more perfect, and it is certain, even if it has not yet occurred. So, in need Geralyn Phil of the Khalifa means that I am certainly one who appoints on the earth as successor, meaning there is no doubt about this, I am certainly going to do this this is factual this is going to happen and there is no doubt about this in Niger Elune Phil or the Khalifa.

00:27:18--> 00:28:06

Now, why does Allah subhanaw taala say that I am going to place on the earth and Khalifa ne Why is Adam or his son and being referred to as a Khalifa? Well, first of all the question is Who exactly is a Khalifa? Khalifa is a successor in is someone who comes after someone has departed okay, like imagine there is a CEO of a company and then they retire. So, they will be succeeded by a new CEO. So, the new CEO is is who the Khalifa of the previous CEO, all right. So Khalifa is who a successor,

00:28:07--> 00:28:57

then the word Khalifa is also used for someone who is appointed. All right, on behalf of someone in their absence. So imagine there is a class teacher, all right, who is for some reason not able to be in her class. So is she going to leave her class unattended know what's going to happen? There is going to be a supply teacher. Right? So that supply teacher is there, in order to do what the main teacher is not able to do. Right? She's taking her place she is her representative, right. So this is also one of the meanings of Califa a representative

00:28:59--> 00:29:56

here What does Khalifa mean? It does not mean representative because no one can be the Khalifa of Allah on earth in that sense. Okay, it does not mean that Allah is no longer able to pay attention to the earth and so someone else is needed to take care of the earth. No way. That is an incorrect understanding. Because Allah subhanaw taala is the Holic the Malik the moudaber of the Earth, right he is a humid summer where it will ugly woman fee him he is the the caretaker the provider the Nourisher the protector of the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them. He is a high Alka you enter the entire creation depends on him right so he is constantly guarding Wallah your odo hip Luma

00:29:57--> 00:29:59

he is constantly guarding and protecting

00:30:00--> 00:30:26

In the heavens and the earth, maintaining them, looking after them, causing them to live and exist, and their existence depends entirely on him. So, Allah subhanaw taala has not appointed Adam or human beings as his representative on earth, no, he is, he is actively providing for and and taking care of the earth. So, what does Khalifa mean over here then

00:30:27--> 00:31:09

Khalifa over here means, first of all, that, that Allah subhanaw taala has appointed Adam as the Khalifa on Earth, as in the one to implement the law of Allah how on earth can you Allah subhanaw taala has appointed Adam and his children as the as as, as, as the creation that will predominantly inhabit the earth and will establish the law of God on earth. All right.

00:31:10--> 00:31:38

And if you think about it, among all the different creatures that exist on the earth, any it is the human beings that predominantly exist, right? And you go to any continent, you go to any terrain, you go to any climate, you will find human beings, right. And because human beings have, you know, traveled to different parts of the earth and inhabited their, you know, different creatures have also gone along with them. Right.

00:31:40--> 00:32:09

And also, we see that as human beings inhabit different parts of the earth, any, they're the ones who, you know, for example, construct buildings, you know, roads, and things like that. And the rest of the creatures don't do that, even though they have a lot of skill. Like, for example, elephants are very strong, right? But But elephants don't make roads, right? Monkeys are able to use their hands and feet,

00:32:10--> 00:33:08

you know, very quickly, but but but they don't make stuff in factories. Right. So, neither the jinn do this, nor the birds, nor the animals, nor the angels, it is human beings, who do this kind of work on Earth, that they inhabit the earth as appointed by Allah subhanaw taala and Allah subhanaw taala has, has inspired human beings, different skills, and the knowledge to do different things. So for example, the wood or his salon, Allah subhanaw taala taught him how to make chain meal, right iron was made malleable for him. So he was able to make chain meal with with iron, right? So. So this has one meaning that Allah subhanaw taala will appoint Adam Rene Sinha as the Khalifa on Earth,

00:33:08--> 00:33:21

meaning one who will predominantly inhabit the earth. Secondly, what this shows us is that before Adam alayhis, salam, the Earth was already inhabited by different creatures.

00:33:23--> 00:33:39

All right. And there was another creation, that that predominantly lived on earth. And they were removed, they were caused to go extinct or removed, and other medicina replaced them. So he succeeded them.

00:33:40--> 00:34:25

All right, he succeeded them, Adam and his children succeeded them. And this is something that makes a lot of sense. Because when you, for example, learn about how old the Earth is, you know, for example, you take a basic biology class, even basic science class, and you find out that the earth is millions of years old. And then, you know, there are fossils that, you know, people have found that are millions of years old. All right, and you find out about, you know, different you go to a museum and you see, for example, a bug that that has been fossilized, and that lived before, perhaps 1000s of years ago. And we know that human history is not that old. So you wonder how is that

00:34:25--> 00:34:47

possible? Isn't Adam Alayhis Salam, the first human being, Adam or Sam is the first human being but he's not the first creature to live on the earth or to inhabit the earth. So different creatures predominantly lived on the earth. All right, and there were succeeded by Adam early his center

00:34:48--> 00:34:59

in Niger, I don't feel lb Khalifa Khalifa means that other religion have succeeded the previous creatures that predominantly existed on the earth, and this meeting is very, very plausible. The third

00:35:00--> 00:35:47

interpretation is that this, this creation is going to succeed one another, in the jargon of the Halifa, meaning this, this creation is going to succeed one another. So one generation will be succeeded by another which will be succeeded by another which will be succeeded by another. All right. And this is true, of course, Adam Alayhis Salam, you know, his, he was succeeded by his children, who were succeeded by their children who were succeeded by their children. And this, you know, has been going on since that time and will carry on until the day of judgment. But, if you think about it, this is not unique to human beings, right? We see, for example, cats, right, cats

00:35:47--> 00:35:58

are succeeded by other cats which are succeeded by other cats which are succeeded by other cats, all the creatures on the earth are like that, that they live on the earth generation, after generation.

00:35:59--> 00:36:01

Right. Now,

00:36:02--> 00:36:59

another interpretation is that Khalifa over here means that the prophets of Allah, all right, they are appointed by Allah eonni to, to carry out to establish His law and the rest of the people are their successors. Okay, so Adam and his son Adam, he was was given a law by Allah which He established, and then his children, they, they succeeded him in implementing that law in living that law. And then after some time, no, no, his Salam was the messenger, he was given a law which he established and then the people after him, you know, continue to establish that law. Okay. Now Allah subhanaw taala mentioned in the Quran, that while huella Regera, Allah come holla if an oath, that

00:36:59--> 00:37:16

he is the one Allah is the One who has made you people, the holla if on the earth, you need the successors on the earth, you You are the the predominant inhabitants on the earth. All right.

00:37:17--> 00:38:07

So what happened when Allah subhanaw taala told the angels that in the jar I don't fill out the Khalifa, what was the response of the angels are new? They said, a third geography her minute sci fi her wire speak with Dima Are you going to place in the earth? Someone who is going to cause mischief and cause bloodshed? The angels asked this question, not as an objection. And this is very important to understand. The angels do not disobey Allah. And if they do not disobey Allah, that means that they would never disrespect Allah. Right? They always glorify and praise Allah. So they would never ever disrespect Allah by objecting by raising an objection against his decision. All right. The

00:38:07--> 00:38:43

reason why the angels are asking is because they want to understand they want to know the wisdom, that why why is another creation, replacing the present creation, if this new creation will will succeed them and will have, you know, free will and will cause you know, will create mischief and cause bloodshed. Any What's the benefit? If the purpose is that they will pure that they will worship Allah while we're already worshiping Allah?

00:38:45--> 00:38:51

So they wanted clarification, they wanted to understand, and this shows us that

00:38:52--> 00:39:07

it is perfectly fine to ask questions, as long as they come from a place of respect. And they come from a place of curiosity and a place of wonder.

00:39:09--> 00:39:15

Asking questions from a place of arrogance, or a place of criticism. That is wrong.

00:39:16--> 00:39:24

We see in the Quran, people who asked why the Qibla was changed. They said

00:39:25--> 00:39:50

men were Lahoma and capability haemolytica Allah, what has turned the the Muslims away from the Qibla which they used to follow before which they used to face before that question was coming from a place of criticism. It was coming from a place of ridicule, coming from a place of arrogance. And so Allah subhanaw taala called such people as super foolish.

00:39:51--> 00:39:59

The angels are asking from a place of genuine curiosity. All right, and they want to understand

00:40:00--> 00:40:03

So, their question was not wrong.

00:40:04--> 00:40:17

Now, they said that, at the geography have my newpsie Luffy has someone who will cause who will create mischief in the earth facade in the earth. Now, facade is to

00:40:18--> 00:40:19

you know, ruin something,

00:40:20--> 00:41:16

you need to corrupt something, right? Such that it is no longer within its range of, of, of normalcy. Okay, and it is it is not normal, it has now become corrupt. So, for example, if you have food, right, and let's say you have yogurt, all right, and the first day, the yogurt is really nice and fresh. The second day, you see that some water has separated from it. Alright, the third day again, you see that the water has separated from it. Now, let's say you forgot to refrigerated. And the next day, you see that the yogurt is any it's become, it has a strange smell. And then you see that it has some mold on it. So it is no longer within its normal range. Right? So it now it has

00:41:16--> 00:41:33

become spoiled. It has become corrupt. This is facade. All right. So they asked what are you going to place on the earth, someone who's going to create mischief, meaning someone who's not going to let things remain normal? He is going to cause disorder.

00:41:35--> 00:41:55

Like for example, the earth needs, you know, a certain amount of foliage on it. Alright, trees, in order to clean the earth, sorry, sorry, in order to clean the air, right, in order to sustain the creatures that exist on it.

00:41:56--> 00:41:58

But when human beings destroy

00:41:59--> 00:42:06

foliage, trees and forests, all right, what happens as a result of that?

00:42:07--> 00:43:05

Any as a result of that, that balance, that balance has been any disturbed. Right. And as a result of that, so many ecosystems have been destroyed, so many creatures are going extinct. All right. So this is facade at the journal via my USC to fear facade is not just in a tangible sense, it is also in the intangible sense facade is also to disobey Allah. Because when people disobey Allah, then what happens? They end up harming one another. Right? For instance, part of obeying Allah subhanaw, taala, is that either you speak well, or you remain silent? And you don't say words that are hurtful. And hurtful words include mocking people, all right, insulting them, okay? Now, if, for

00:43:05--> 00:43:38

example, in a room, you're sitting with someone, and you are talking in a good way, you're saying something nice, right? You're talking in a normal way? Everything's good. Right? It's a good vibe. But if you insult them, one, one insult even one statement in which you're making, you're poking fun at them, you're disobeying Allah. All right, first of all, but then what's going to happen? You're going to ruin the vibe in the room. Right? Everyone's going to feel on edge.

00:43:39--> 00:44:19

Right? So and the relationship between you and that person is going to get damaged. So, facade is not just in the tangible sense, it's also in the intangible sense, any, to cause corruption in the earth as to ruin the earth physically, and to also commit sin and disobedience, at the geography her my newpsie to fee her, they asked, and this is the thing, when people have free will, they end up committing both kinds of facade in our greed. All right, we ended up disturbing the balance on the earth and in our greed. You know,

00:44:20--> 00:44:51

you know, following our ego, we end up disturbing, you know, people committing oppression against them. So at that URL up here, my newpsie to fee her. The second thing they said was we could demand you will cause bloodshed. A demand is a form of dumb that means blood. So yes, we could demand you will shed the blood of many. And he he will cause a lot of bloodshed. Indeed, people will kill one another.

00:44:53--> 00:44:59

Subhan Allah. How did the angels know that people will create mischief

00:45:00--> 00:45:08

and cause bloodshed. How How exactly did the angels know this? Because they're very right in what they said.

00:45:09--> 00:45:16

First of all, they knew they had this this hunch because

00:45:18--> 00:45:37

they knew that the the This creation is going to be Khalifa on the earth. Right? And if this creation is going to be howdy found the earth succeeding the previous creation, all right, going to be like them in terms of freewill, then they're going to repeat the same cycle.

00:45:38--> 00:46:24

Right the creatures before caused corruption. The creatures before cause bloodshed and they will also do the same thing. Allah's penalty dimensions and so to hedge it we'll look at how lakanal incentive insult Solomon hammer in must noon, while Jana Hala canal human, Pablo minetest smooth and certainly we created the human being from clay and the gem we created before from fire. So the jinn were created before human beings and the jinn committed facade and caused bloodshed. So the angels assumed that people would do the same thing.

00:46:26--> 00:46:50

All right, but other said that the angels said this because they had seen the previous creatures on earth do this. Any whoever that that that creature, those those creatures were, whoever those creatures were, this is what they did on Earth, they caused facade and bloodshed.

00:46:52--> 00:46:54

All right. Secondly,

00:46:55--> 00:47:51

they understood from the word Khalifa. Okay Khalifa, that Khalifa technically, is who any someone who is supposed to be a leader of his people. And as a result of that, what does the Khalifa do? resolves disputes, right? One of the meanings of Khalifa I told you is that Khalifa is you need the prophets implement the law of Allah, they establish the law of Allah, and the people succeed them in, in establishing that law. So establishing law means what that you are going to judge according to that law, you're going to judge what you're going to judge in regard to the differences that arise, right the divisions that arise. So, they understood from the word Khalifa, that this creation

00:47:51--> 00:48:29

is going to differ, all right, from one another, any people will have differences and those differences will have to be resolved. And where there are differences we know that things can get very ugly, right? People when they have differences with one another, they become very violent, they become very destructive, they become very oppressive, they cross many limits. So they understood from the word Khalifa that people will have differences and by extension, there will be facade and bloodshed.

00:48:30--> 00:49:22

They said well, no, no, no sub B will be Hamdi. Kawaoka de Sulak. And we glorify with your praise and we also sanctify you we declare your purity. And we're always doing this Oh ALLAH. Right. And the if the purpose of creating human beings is that they should worship you, well, we are already worshiping you, night and day, and we do not get bored, and we are constantly engaged in your glorification. Now know somebody who knows somebody who is to declare the perfection of Allah. All right, to declare that Allah is free of any deficiency, of any faults, or right of any resemblance to the creation, to declare that Allah is free from all of this and above all of this, but they say

00:49:22--> 00:49:59

no sub be he'll be handicapped. We glorify You with your praise, any on the one hand, we declare that you are free of any deficiency, any fault, any resemblance to the creation, and at the same time, we also affirm your perfection, your excellence, by praising you be Hamdi kabbah is of Musa any along with your does B, we also do hand and hand is to praise someone by mentioning they're They're excellent. They're excellent qualities

00:50:00--> 00:50:13

All right, so no Sabir behind DECA one a de Sulak. And we also declare your purity Subhan Allah, de Cadiz is to declare purity that Allah is worthy of

00:50:14--> 00:50:30

all right. And kudos is the being who is pure of any association, any partnership and is free of the need of associating with others. So, we declare your perfection

00:50:31--> 00:50:38

along with your praises, and we declare your complete purity, your perfect purity

00:50:40--> 00:50:46

and the fact that you are free of any partner free of needing

00:50:47--> 00:51:32

to associate with others even and they say, No, no, no, so be her be him DECA Wanaka de su luck, luck, only to you. Lamb over here shows us a lamb over here is if the sauce and also is the hawk. What this means is that we declare only your purity. And we declare purity that You alone are worthy of you alone are worthy of and this shows us that the angels, they are creatures who glorify Allah and praise Allah SubhanAllah. And he this is their job. This is their nature, that they glorify and praise Allah.

00:51:33--> 00:51:56

And when they speak, they say words of praise and glorification to Allah. When When the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam was asked that which speech is the best, the prophets of Allah who are then replied, The speech which Allah has chosen for his angels, and that is Subhan Allah who will be handy, any out of all the words that you say, in your waking hours.

00:51:58--> 00:52:07

The words Subhan Allah who will be handy are the best words that you utter. The words in which you glorify, and praise Allah are the best words that you can say.

00:52:08--> 00:52:10

So say them frequently.

00:52:11--> 00:52:59

Any first of all, this teaches us that we should not busy ourselves in saying things which are useless which are unnecessary, which will be a burden on us on the Day of Judgment. All right. And secondly, what this shows us is that we should busy ourselves in the glorification and praise of ALLAH, any we should increase in that. I'm not saying don't talk to people. No, what I'm saying is, talk purposefully, and say good things, stay away from useless conversations. And secondly, also increase in your glorification and praise of Allah. Sometimes what happens is that our hands are busy. All right, doing something that doesn't require much mental presence, but our lips are also

00:52:59--> 00:52:59

pierced.

00:53:01--> 00:53:05

And either close closed, they're zipped. All right.

00:53:06--> 00:53:38

Well, sometimes we're waiting for someone in the car, we're driving. Alright, we are doing something. Or for example, we're just laying down. You know, we're doing dishes and things like that folding laundry, and our lips are just zipped up. Don't do that. While your hands are busy or not. Move your lips in the glorification and praise of Allah, increase in your remembrance of Allah, especially while you're fasting, increase in your reward like that.

00:53:39--> 00:54:01

Now what happened? Carla in the Orlando mela tharla, Moon, Allah subhanaw taala said Indeed I know what you do not know Allahu Akbar, any I know what the benefit is, in placing this Khalifa on the earth, and you do not know that benefit.

00:54:03--> 00:54:59

I know the purpose which this Khalifa will fulfill on the earth and you do not know that purpose. Subhanallah and yes, while there are among people who cause facade and who cause bloodshed, there are also many, whom Allah subhanaw taala chose to be Ambia prophets in the Think about Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam what perfection he was, how amazing how excellent, he was his character, his manner of speech, His dealing with people, his your son, the way that he worshipped Allah Subhan Allah, he, he would worship Allah even though his sins were forgiven, and he would worship Allah so much, that he would cry and his beard would become wet.

00:55:00--> 00:55:23

He would stand in prayer and his feet would become swollen. And why would you worship Allah? From a place of gratitude? He would say should I not be a grateful slave? Anyone Allah has favored me so much should I not be a grateful slave? So if there was no Adam, if there was no human beings, there would be no Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:55:24--> 00:55:48

in the URL momella Tala moon I know what you do not know. I know that in the Children of Adam, there will be people who will be Ambia who will be prophets who will be split between those who are very, very truthful, extremely truthful, like Abu Bakr Siddiq. If there were no human beings, there will be no Abu Bakr

00:55:49--> 00:56:00

and look at the CDP or the truthfulness of Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Anhu. Isn't it so amazing? That how he believed in the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and supported him.

00:56:01--> 00:56:29

There will be shahada, there will be solid hand righteous, there will be among people who will be Sabreen, who will have patients who will put their trust in Allah with our Killeen, who will be Mutata Harry, who will purify themselves, cleanse themselves, who will be utter wellbeing who will repent to Allah Who will be mustafina will as hell who will get up from their night's sleep. Alright, and seek forgiveness from Allah before dawn.

00:56:31--> 00:57:02

So in the URL momella Darla Moon, I know what you do not know. Now look at the response that Allah subhanaw taala gives I know what you do not know. It's not a lengthy response. All right. And Allah subhanaw taala does not justify anything over here does not give any further explanation. He just says, I know what you do not know. And because of this response, the angels do do not ask a follow up question. Why? Because there is no room to ask.

00:57:03--> 00:57:45

This answer is so complete this response is so complete in the Arland Ramallah tharla wound that there is no room for a follow up question. And this is a very important thing. Sometimes when we're asked about why we are doing something, right, we become very defensive. And we start explaining and we start clarifying things. You don't always have to do that. Be confident about what you're doing. You don't always have to be defensive and justify what you're doing and give lengthy answers. Likewise, you do not have to get angry when someone asks you, you do not have to show irritation when someone asks, you know, just just say something like I know what I'm doing.

00:57:47--> 00:58:00

In the Arleigh momella tharla. Moon. It doesn't have to be the only answer you give. But definitely an answer you give when you are criticized in the Orlando mela Tara moon.

00:58:01--> 00:58:27

Now there are some important lessons that we can take from this idea. First of all, we learned from this ayat that Allah subhanaw taala speaks with Allah Buka. when your Lord said to the angels, right, Allah's Panthera speaks, then we see that Allah subhanaw taala honored the human beings, by giving good news of the creation of other money sent out to the angels in the jargon of the Khalifa.

00:58:28--> 00:59:26

Thirdly, what this is shows us is that the first human being all right, was a human being and he was placed on the earth, all right, meaning he was he was placed on the earth by Allah subhanaw taala as a human being any the first human being did not evolve from from some other firm some other creation. When it comes to the story of the theory of, of evolution, we see extremes within Muslims, there are some there, you know, those among Muslims will completely reject the concept of, of evolution completely. But then what happens is that when they go and sit in, in in biology, one on one in university, and they learn about basic evolution, you know it they begin to question their

00:59:26--> 00:59:48

faith. Right, and then they just resort to blind faith. All right. And they say science is one thing. And faith is another and there's no way that I can, you know, bring the two together in my heart. So it's just two compartments in my life. And when it comes to faith, it's just blind faith. All right.

00:59:49--> 00:59:59

Then we have another extreme within Muslims where Subhan Allah there are those among Muslims who will who have no difficulty saying that Adam evolved from

01:00:00--> 01:00:06

and from some other creation from the HomoSapiens, et cetera, right?

01:00:07--> 01:00:58

What is best is the middle way. And that is that okay, based on our scientific study and observation, okay? The theory of evolution makes sense that yes, creatures have evolved over time, and perhaps creatures have evolved from other creatures. However, however, Adam already has Salam is an exception to the rule. And the creation of Adam Alayhis Salam is a miraculous creation. All right. Why? Because this is an exceptional creation. Allah subhanaw taala is mentioning it to the angels in Niger, I don't have the Khalifa, this is something unique, this is something extraordinary that's happening. This is something miraculous that is happening. This is something that is not the

01:00:58--> 01:01:00

norm that is happening.

01:01:01--> 01:01:12

So whether the theory of evolution makes sense to you or not any general evolution, macro evolution is basically what I'm talking about.

01:01:13--> 01:01:24

That's up to you. But when it comes to Adam, are you salaam, the human beings evolving from other creatures, that is not something that we believe in?

01:01:25--> 01:01:52

Why? Because it is different from what Allah subhanaw taala has informed us of Allah subhanaw taala is telling us that he created other medicine, and he placed him on the earth, He did not evolve in from some other from some other creation. So the creation of an organism is miraculous. And it is an exception to the rule. It is something extraordinary, which is why it is mentioned to the angels. All right.

01:01:54--> 01:01:58

Then we see in this ayah that Allah subhanaw taala created

01:01:59--> 01:02:12

Adam Alayhis Salam in the dragonfly or the Khalifa, and in surah, the teen ALLAH SubhanA, Allah says Allah, God Holika in Santa Fe are Sanita coeem Certainly we created the human being in the best form.

01:02:13--> 01:02:25

All right, which means that Allah did not evolve the human being from apes. No, he created human beings in the best form. While a Corona bunny Adam, certainly we honored the Children of Adam.

01:02:26--> 01:02:33

All right. And then we see in this idea that Allah subhanaw taala,

01:02:34--> 01:02:41

he informs the angels of the creation of Adam release sunnah as if he is giving a lot of importance to this fact. Right?

01:02:43--> 01:02:51

Meaning a lot of importance to the creation of other money center, any it is something tremendous, something huge, something very significant, extraordinary.

01:02:52--> 01:02:55

All right. And then we see

01:02:56--> 01:03:01

how facade and bloodshed are definitely,

01:03:02--> 01:03:21

you know, negative things, things that we must stay away from. And we see that the angels do not like facade, the angels do not like bloodshed. And we also see that the angels busy themselves in the worship, in the praise and glorification of Allah, which we should also busy ourselves in,

01:03:22--> 01:03:24

in order to,

01:03:25--> 01:03:26

to gain rewards from Allah.

01:03:28--> 01:03:38

One thing is that the angel said about themselves, that we glorify you, and we praise You. And the if someone were to say about themselves that

01:03:39--> 01:03:45

I praise Allah and I thank Allah. Okay? Any it might come across as,

01:03:47--> 01:03:51

as if, you know, they're boasting as if they're showing off. All right.

01:03:52--> 01:04:39

But this is not the case. The angels are not boasting over here. They're not showing off over here. They're simply informing. They're simply stating, in fact, that they're just stating their quality, something that they do. And there's nothing wrong with that. Like, for example, if you say that I am a hard worker, you're not necessarily boasting, you're you're mentioning your you're stating your quality, your strength, right? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam also said that I'm gonna say you do that I am the leader of the children of Adam while Africa and there is no boasting in that I'm not saying this in order to boast but I will be the leader of the children of Adam on the day of

01:04:39--> 01:05:00

judgment. And I'm not boasting. So what is wrong is that when you when you when you think very highly of yourself, and you talk about your qualities and your strengths in order to show off that is wrong. Your intention matters Allah's pantallas has for that was a coup and full circle. Do not declare yourself

01:05:00--> 01:05:04

wants to be pure. But if you're just stating a quality, there's nothing wrong with that.

01:05:06--> 01:05:51

And we also learn from this idea that the angels do not know the knowledge of the Unseen, right? Because Allah subhanaw taala told them that I know what you do not know it is only Allah whose knowledge is perfect. And then we see that where we do not understand something where we do not know something than that is where we surrender our minds to Allah. Right. And it'd be angels could not comprehend the wisdom behind the creation of other money center. Right. But they did not ask another question after that. They said yes, Allah you know, right. They just trusted Allah in the honorable mela tharla mode. Similarly, if there is something in the religion or in the creation, that you

01:05:51--> 01:05:57

struggle to comprehend, that is where you accept that Allah knows what I do not know.

01:05:58--> 01:06:00

And you surrender that entire matter to Allah

01:06:01--> 01:06:05

and trust me, this is what will bring you peace.

01:06:07--> 01:06:10

Now a few things about other Muslims creation.

01:06:11--> 01:06:33

We learned that last panel Tada created other release and I'm from clay, okay from mud. And this mud is described in the Quran in a number of different ways. First of all, we see a loss parameter it says into an earlier one, that Adam released Salam Holika, whom into Robin, Allah subhanaw taala, created him from dust.

01:06:34--> 01:06:42

Then we learned in solid solid that Allah subhanaw taala said in the harlequin version, I'm in pain, I'm going to create a human being from clay

01:06:43--> 01:06:54

in sutra hedger, ALLAH SubhanA. Allah says Allah could colloquial inside of insult Solomon hammer immerse noon. We did certainly create men out of clay from an altered black mud

01:06:56--> 01:07:01

in soda rock man when Sol Sol in Culver Hall from clay like that of pottery.

01:07:02--> 01:07:50

Now some people when they say when they see that all the mud that Allah subhanaw taala created Adam really salam from you know, it's, it's so different in the in one place Allah Subhana Allah says that he created from from dust in another place he says that He created him from from clay in another place, he mentioned that he created him from altered black mud. So they just look at the surface and they say oh see there's contradiction in the Quran. This is not contradiction, this is lack of your comprehension and lack of your reflection. What is meant is that you see the dust that Allah subhanaw taala created other races, other medicine and from underwent many changes. Okay to

01:07:50--> 01:07:52

Rob is dust that is dry,

01:07:53--> 01:07:55

clean is

01:07:57--> 01:08:35

mud, any dust when it is mixed with water, it becomes wet clay. So pain is wet clay All right, which was previously dust which was previously thorough, but it was mixed with water and it became clean. Now when you leave clean for a long time, all right, and you leave it wet for a long time it becomes hammock, it becomes black mud, and either color darkens. All right, it becomes hammer. And if you leave it even longer, that hammer

01:08:36--> 01:08:42

becomes sticky. And its texture changes and its smell also changes.

01:08:43--> 01:09:38

And that is called Miss noon. altered, all right and valuable because now when it's sticky, you can actually make different things out of it you can mold it into different shapes and forms. All right. Now when you leave it after that, if when it dries up, it becomes self soil. Because when it dries up, it becomes clay like that of pottery. So when it dries up and you touch it, it will be it will make a sound. So this mud that Allah subhanaw taala created other money stolen from was first to rob dust, which was turned into clean wet clay, which was turned into hammock, black mud, which was turned into muscle noon, it became altered and malleable, could be molded into a form. And then once

01:09:38--> 01:09:59

made into a form, it was turned into salt, salt, like that off pottery. All right. So this shows us that the clay underwent different stages before Adam Alayhis Salam was created from it. And this month that Allah subhanaw taala created Adam Rene salaam from was actually taken from different parts of the earth.

01:10:00--> 01:10:46

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam mentioned that in Adam, Julio come in Selassie to Aruba that other medicine was created from three types of of clay of dust. So that by Allah Hamra dust that was black that was white, and that was read any of different colors. And another Hadith, we learn that when Allah subhanaw taala created Adam Rene Sinha, He created him from clay that he took from different parts of the earth. And he that dust was taken from different parts of the earth. And this is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam explained that the children of Adam vary so much in terms of their color, just as

01:10:47--> 01:11:36

mud is not all the same color, any soil is not all the same color, there is black soil, there is red soil, there is white, in a light colored and dark colored and brown, just like that among people are those who are white, those who are black, and somewhere in the middle, all right. And this is why people also vary in terms of their nature, some are sell and some are hazardous in some are very soft, easy to deal with. And some are very difficult to deal with. There's there's stubbornness and harshness in them. Right? There are those who are by him and those who are hobbyists, those who are good and those were bad, right? Why because otherwise Salam was made from such soil that was taken

01:11:36--> 01:11:40

from different parts of the earth and so his children reflect that variation.

01:11:42--> 01:12:00

When Allah subhanaw taala created Adam relisten and He created him by his own hands. And this is why no creature has superiority over Adam Rene Sam, we learned that our Gleb intermodal de la Horne who he said that Allah subhanaw taala created for things by His hand, the throne,

01:12:02--> 01:12:04

he his throne, the kalam the pen,

01:12:05--> 01:12:53

with which the decrees of the creation were written. Adam and Jana tool are the any the garden of eternity paradise. So other release Salaam and not the angels, not the jinn, not any animal or bird or anything on earth, only Adam and his center, Allah subhanaw taala created him by his own hand. And this is how the creation of Adam and Islam is extraordinary. It's not like the creation of other creatures. It is a miraculous creation. It is a unique, extraordinary creation. It is different from the rest. And Allah subhanaw taala created other than Islam in the best form. Allah subhanaw taala says and so it will arrive. We'll look at her Lacuna Coil, some muscle will now come some local

01:12:53--> 01:13:07

learning. melodica does Julie Adam and certainly we created you and we created you in the best form, we shaped you in the best form, the muscle will now come and then we told the angels to prostrate to Adam.

01:13:08--> 01:13:50

And when it comes to the form the appearance of Adam Ray salaam, in a hadith we learn and this hadith has been reported in many books of Hadith, that Allah subhanaw taala Hello, Adama Allah Surah t that Allah subhanaw taala created Adam release Santa in his form, and typically any in Christianity, this is understood as God made Adam in his image. All right, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam said Allah Surah T on his form. Now what does that mean? That means Allah Surah T means in, in his end in Adams complete form.

01:13:51--> 01:14:03

Okay, meaning other words, Salam was created in his complete form. And he he did not go through the stages of development, as the rest of the people do.

01:14:04--> 01:14:54

Any, when a human being is created any any human being other than otherwise, how are they created? They are they go through different stages of development. So their form changes over time. Right? How you looked when you were a child is very different from how you look now. In fact, how you look even 1015 years ago, perhaps could be very different from how you look right now. Right? people's physical appearance, their facial features, they change, their height changes the length, the proportion of their, you know, body changes, right, for example, children, any, when they're little, they have very short arms, big heads, right? If they put their arms over their head, they cannot

01:14:54--> 01:14:59

join their hands together. But you can do that as an adult because you have longer arms.

01:15:00--> 01:16:00

In need the proportion changes over time, right. But other medicine was not created like that other medicine was created in his complete form. So he did not go through the stages of development as the children of Adam go through them. Another interpretation of this hadith is that it was kind of hard to create an Adam Arla Surah T He in His form, His means God's form any Allah subhanaw taala has image all right. And what that means is that Allah subhanaw taala hears, sees, speaks right and he has many other attributes, which Allah subhanaw taala has also created in Adam. Right and people, so Adam spoke Adam could hear Adam could see all right, but of course, the seeing the speaking, the

01:16:00--> 01:16:30

hearing of Adam, is is that which is fitting for Adam, it is not like the hearing the seeing the speaking of Allah subhanaw taala All right. Of course, there is nothing like Hola, Lisa, Kermit cliche, there is nothing like him. All right, there is nothing that is similar to him. There is no no one like Hola, Valetta, Gerardo lillahi underdone right.

01:16:31--> 01:16:39

But what is meant is that there are traits that Allah subhanaw taala created an Adam

01:16:40--> 01:16:55

which are which which Allah subhanaw taala himself has all right, but of course, the traits of Allah subhanaw taala the slip out of Allah are not like the SIFAT of people, okay? Because

01:16:56--> 01:17:00

because Allah is not like his, his creatures, okay.

01:17:02--> 01:17:13

Then we learned that other readies. SNAM was created very, very tall. The prophets of Allah who already has said and mentioned that when Allah Subhana Allah created Adam or a sunnah, He created him

01:17:15--> 01:17:19

in a height of 60 cubits, very tall.

01:17:20--> 01:17:31

Then the Prophet sallallahu Ellison have also told us that Allah subhanaw taala created Adam Alayhis Salam on Friday, okay, after, after the time of us.

01:17:33--> 01:17:33

Okay.

01:17:34--> 01:18:19

And basically what we learned from another Hadith is that other medicina was the last creation to be created. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that Allah created the clay on Saturday, he created the mountains on Sunday, he created the trees on Monday, he created the things entailing labor on Tuesday, he created light on Wednesday, he created the animals to spread on Thursday, and He created Adam on Friday after us the last creation at the last hour of the hours of Friday. Now, even though you know the authenticity of this hadith is disputed, what we can learn from this definitely is that Adam or the Sunnah was the final creation to be created the last creation to be

01:18:19--> 01:18:48

placed on the earth. Any there's no other new creation, okay, that's going to be created and placed on the earth is the final creation to be placed on the earth. All right. And one thing I want you to understand is that when the Prophet salallahu, Arizona mentioned different days, it doesn't just mean like the days of the week as we know them. The word Yom in Arabic applies to a period of time. Okay, so when Allah subhanaw taala created

01:18:49--> 01:19:21

you know, he said that the a yam in six days, it doesn't mean six days as we know that it could mean six periods of time. Okay, how long each period of time is Allahu Allah, Allah knows best. Okay? But what we can definitely take from this hadith is that otherness Salam was the final creation to be placed on the earth. Why? Because his creation was the finality. Okay.

01:19:22--> 01:19:53

Any before the creation of otherwise Sadam his sustenance had to be created. Right so this is why all the other creatures were created before the trees were created before light was created before everything else was created before why because Adam Ernest and I'm sustenance depends on their existence. Right? And it is because of other medicine and the rest of the creation was created. So they had to be created before him.

01:19:54--> 01:19:59

And the main thing is that the best is for the last Okay,

01:20:00--> 01:20:18

I think about it the best book The Quran is the final book to be revealed. The best messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam is the final messenger to be sent. Right. So the best creation, Adam Ernestina human beings are the final creation on the earth.

01:20:19--> 01:20:26

After them, there will be your piano, the Day of Judgment, right. And

01:20:28--> 01:21:16

we also learn that when Allah subhanaw taala, created the body of Adam release Salam, he left it for some time, and Iblees came and began to go around it and observe it. And when he saw that the body was hollow from the inside, he said, I will win against him, because this is a creation that will not be able to overcome its desire Subhanallah any bliss said that he's hollow from inside, he's got a stomach, he's got a cavity inside right also the lungs right. And that means that there is a need, that needs to be fulfilled, that that emptiness has to be filled. Right. So Iblees perceive that as a weakness and yes, it is a weakness which is why we have to be very careful that we fill that

01:21:16--> 01:21:24

emptiness that is inside of us, not just with fulfilling our desires, but with the worship of Allah.

01:21:25--> 01:21:39

Because if we take the route of desires and yesterday lon will have the better of us. But if we fill that emptiness within with the worship of Allah, then we will then then shaitan will not have any power against us.

01:21:40--> 01:22:27

And we learned that in sutra hedger, Allah subhanaw taala says for it as a way to we want to talk to female Ruhi Allah subhanaw taala blue into other Malay, salam, the rule, the soul, and Allah subhanaw taala describes that rule as Ruhi my soul, it doesn't mean that Allah subhanaw taala put his own any he needed Allah has a soul and that's all he puts in Adam know what means is Ruhi as in the rule that I own, the rule that I made, when Allah subhanaw taala attributes something to himself, he's honoring it, like for example, when Allah says Baitullah, right? In the house of Allah, it doesn't mean that Allah lives there. No, it is rather a house that Allah subhanaw taala

01:22:27--> 01:22:34

has honored by choosing it by giving a preference over the rest. It is it is there for the worship of Allah.

01:22:36--> 01:22:44

So when in fact to be human Ruhi means the rule that I have made the rule that I own, that only I can put.

01:22:46--> 01:22:48

Now when the last pantherella created other relays Salam.

01:22:50--> 01:23:18

We learned in a hadith, that when the when the soul was blown into him, and as it reached his head, he sneezed. And the first thing that other one is set up said was Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen. All praises for Allah, the Lord of the worlds and ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada, replied, The yarmulke Allah, may Allah have mercy on you. And this is when Allah subhanaw taala has mercy

01:23:19--> 01:23:32

over overcame his wrath, and he this is this is when the when the law of Sabah Azzura, Mati was Adobe began, okay, any his Rama supersedes his rest?

01:23:33--> 01:24:23

And it is when Allah subhanaw taala created the creation that he wrote in a book with him in Naramata, holy Wahhabi, that my soul Shah sorry my mercy shall overcome my wrath. When Allah subhanaw taala created other Marisela other brothers salaam came to life, He sent him to the angels. He told him go and greet the angels say salaam to them and see what they say to you. That will be the greeting of your children. So other renessa went to the angels and he said a Salam or Aleikum, may peace be upon you. And the angels replied As salam o aleikum wa rahmatullah that may peace be upon you and also Allah's mercy. So the angels added Rahmatullah. And we should also do that when we

01:24:23--> 01:24:27

say Y equals Salam, we should add Warahmatullah to that.

01:24:28--> 01:24:33

Then Allah subhanaw taala created for Adam and his Sadam his wife howa.

01:24:35--> 01:24:45

Hello Kakuma. Nuptse Wahida wahala comin Huzzah. Jaha Allah subhanaw taala created all of you from a single soul and then he created from that single soul, it's made.

01:24:46--> 01:24:59

And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam explained that Allah subhanaw taala created Hauer from the short rib of Adam Alayhis Salam, all right. And when Allah subhanaw taala created

01:25:00--> 01:25:09

Other than s&m He brought out of him, all of the salts in all of the souls

01:25:11--> 01:25:31

of any all of his children, basically, who were going to be born in their souls until the Day of Judgment, the prophets of Allah who early who was salam. He said that when Allah created Adam, he wiped his back and every person that he created among his offspring until the Day of Judgment fell out of his back.

01:25:33--> 01:25:53

And this means that all people are the children of Adam, as a Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, and Adam was created from dust, so we are all related to one another. And that means that we should not feel arrogant and boast to one another and feel superior to one another, and belittle one another, and oppress one another.

01:25:55--> 01:26:03

And then we learned that all because all of the children, all of the people are the children of Adam or to his son.

01:26:05--> 01:26:46

The prophets of Allah, who are an incident also described himself as, as one of the children of Adam. So we should keep this in mind. And this should keep us humble. Finally, we learned that when Allah subhanaw taala created other words, Sena and also his children, in either souls, Allah subhanaw taala took the Aleste from them, and he he made them take a covenant, that he is their Lord, and it is only heat that they will worship. He made them aware of himself so that they know that Allah is their one and only Lord whom they worship.

01:26:48--> 01:26:50

So, inshallah we will conclude over here for today.

01:26:52--> 01:26:55

And Inshallah, in tomorrow's session, we will continue

01:26:57--> 01:27:20

the study of the verses, and we will see how Allah subhanaw taala gave Adam money, his sunnah knowledge. After creating him, he blessed him with knowledge. So we'll talk about that in the next class. If there's any reflections that you would like to share anything that you add any lesson, any point of reflection, please go ahead and share

01:27:23--> 01:27:24

I can see the comments if there's any reflection that you'd like to share, you can share that and I would like to read it out in shop.

01:27:46--> 01:27:57

Okay, excellent point that since we are made from dust, all right, we should be humble and arrogance does not befit us. Excellent, very good.

01:28:06--> 01:28:17

The importance of the wicked, very good, the angels glorify and praise Allah and we should also glorify and praise Allah. Right, we should

01:28:18--> 01:28:28

develop this angelic quality within ourselves, it doesn't mean that we will become angels, but we should develop this good quality

01:28:32--> 01:29:08

Okay, good. The differences in the soil good that Adam really Santa was created from it makes so much sense that because he was created from different types of clay taken from different parts of the earth, this is why people vary in their nature. Right and also in their appearances. Yes. And we should be grateful to Allah subhanaw taala for the fact that he made us, the children of Adam and Adam renew Salam whom Allah subhanaw taala chose over the rest of the Creation in so many ways. Excellent hamdulillah

01:29:11--> 01:29:21
