00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			Okay, let's continue.
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:11
			What are the governor Bernie Adam? And certainly we have honored the children of Adam at his center.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			In the previous set, what did we learn
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			about Iblees.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			And how Allah subhanaw taala when he
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:28
			gave preference to Adam and insulin, it believes was not willing to accept that his ego came in,
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:33
			he wasn't willing to Prostrate to Adam and accept his superiority over himself.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:47
			And then I'll also penalty dimensions as to how people are ungrateful that despite the fact that
Allah has given so much to people, generally, the behavior of people is of extreme ingratitude.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:01:11
			Then Allah subhanaw taala dimensions, more of his blessings upon people. That one other column
gnabry, Adam kolomna karma you can remove the cream is to treat is to honor someone is to deal with
someone in a very noble way, in a very respectful way. And it is also to be extremely generous
towards someone.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:22
			So what are called the columnar and you see columnar, this shows mobile, then a columnar, a columnar
would also do the same thing but columnar, it shows
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:27
			that we have honored who the children of Adam and Eve,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:34
			meaning the human beings in general have been given preference over over the rest of the creation.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:55
			Regardless of whether people are righteous, or they're wicked, they're obedient to Allah or they're
disobedient to Allah, their Motoki or they're fragile, regardless of how they are spiritually. Allah
subhanaw taala has given preference to human beings over the other creatures, how, in various ways,
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:26
			what am I left home, and we have carried the hammer learn from the word humble and humble is to
carry to take the Lord to bear. So hammer now whom we carry them feel badly in the land world, and
the sea. In other words, we make them travel, how on land and also on see that when they're
traveling, they don't always travel by foot. But what happens,
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:34
			for example, on land, the right various animals, similarly, various vehicles
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:53
			and on sea, again, they don't swim across like the other creatures have to. But what do they do that
is go sit comfortably in a ship in a boat. And that's it, they go from one place to the other, how
now we carry them on land and also on sea.
		
00:02:54 --> 00:03:02
			They don't have to go by foot, they don't have to swim themselves all the way, but rather they have
been provided with various means of transportation
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:36
			was Akane home and we have also provided them may not tell you that of the good things, meaning of
various good things which they eat, which they were which they use a loss of penalties provided
various types of play, you bet, do the human beings. And if you compare the food that human beings
have, that human beings enjoy compared to the food that other creatures enjoy. It's of a greater
variety. It's a much better nutrition as well. What does the economy not.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:58
			And if you look at it, the kind of food that human beings eat, it's much more clean, isn't it,
compared to the food that other creatures eat. When you eat something, you wash it, you get it
properly, it has to look nice. If it's meat, there must be no blood. Similarly, if it's vegetables,
they're cut very nicely and you eat that food which is good.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:18
			And other creatures, they will eat decayed plants. Similarly, the jinn they will eat bones, other
creatures also they will eat various types of things but human beings the kind of food that we eat,
it is cleaner, it is more nutritious. It is of a greater variety.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:24
			From fish to most exotic foods, vegetables and fruits to herbs.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:36
			Were further left home and we have preferred them our laka theoden upon much movement from those who
have lacuna, we have created the Leela a definite preference.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:57
			We have preferred them over much of our creation. We have preferred human beings over much of our
creation, most of our creation. So we see in this ayah that Allah subhanaw taala mentions how he has
honored human beings over the other creation
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			over here, some things
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:10
			I mentioned and what are they? That first of all, in this ayah wahama let him fill battery with
battery, then what is a canal home?
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:17
			And then we're gonna have right Agatha, Monica Laguna de Lima.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:23
			And there are many other ways in which human beings have been preferred over the rest of the
creation.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:38
			That first of all, in their soul, in their appearance and surah is from sod cannot seem seen as
surah like surah from Quran, okay, but there's a surah song What are you saw with the sweet
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:51
			in physical form, in features, human beings have been given preference over the rest of the
creation? How that human beings, they have hands, and they have feet,
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
			they stand upright,
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:59
			their height, their size is very moderate, isn't it so?
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:09
			Like, for example, if you compare human beings some other creatures, for instance, snakes, their
entire body is touching the ground.
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:15
			But human beings allies honor the human being held that it's only his feet that touch the ground,
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:38
			his head is up, His hands are up, his back is straight. Similarly, other creatures, like for
example, livestock, their bodies are constantly bent, they cannot stand upright. But human beings,
this is very noble that they're made to stand upright. Because when you're constantly bending, it's
a sign of extreme humility.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:54
			Similarly, if you look at the size of the human beings, it's very moderate. They're not very tiny,
like the size of ants, or like the size of cats, or rats, or other insects and other creatures.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:06
			Similarly, they're not as huge as giraffes or as elephants, right? The size is very moderate, which
enables them to benefit from everything that is in this world,
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:07
			isn't it?
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:17
			Like, for example, elephants and giraffes because of their huge size, they're unable to or camels
even they're unable to access many things.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:35
			Similarly, creatures that are very small, even they're unable to access many things, but human
beings because they're moderate size, they're able to access everything. Allah says in the Quran,
naka de la Canal in Santa Monica, Kareem, we have created men in the best stature.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:57
			Similarly, we see that human beings, they walk upright on their two feet, and they eat with their
hands. Whereas other living creatures, many of them they walk on their floors, and how do they eat
with their mouths. So this is the cream This is honor for the human beings that they eat with their
hands.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:49
			Secondly, Allah subhanaw taala has also given preference to human beings, *, by the, by the
intellect that human beings have been bestowed with human beings have the ability to think they have
the ability to analyze, to rationalize, they have hearing, they have sight, they have a heart, that
functions then enables them to comprehend, that enables them to remember to take lessons to examine,
to reflect, to understand, and that enables them to distinguish between what is good and what is
harmful. The other creatures as well, they may have eyes, which may be sharper than ours, they may
have ears which may be more sensitive than ours, they may have hearts, which may be stronger than
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:55
			ours. However, they don't have, they do not have comprehension,
		
00:08:56 --> 00:09:04
			or if they do have comprehension if they do have some kind of understanding. It's limited, it is of
a very limited capacity,
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:23
			they can be taught many things animals they can be trained. However, the rate at which human beings
are the variety of things that human beings can learn, the other animals cannot, or every other
creature cannot, whereas we see that the majority of the human beings they have.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:33
			Thirdly, a las panatela has also bestowed human beings in knowledge, which has not been given to the
rest of the creatures.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:41
			And in this knowledge, is the knowledge of our view of the
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:53
			if you see, the last messenger was for longer, human beings, Allah subhanaw taala did not even send
an angel or a gene, who was he a human being?
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:59
			And we see that other medicinal was given knowledge and upon that the angels were made
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:00
			to prostrate
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			and amongst the angels was also a blease gene.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:10
			So because of knowledge, human beings have been given preference.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:29
			If you look at it, you know sometimes I wonder people who believe in things such as evolution, and
they only believe in that, that survival of the fittest, the one that is the most read can only
survive. If you look at it human being is one of the weakest creatures out there, isn't it?
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:43
			Because a human being is born without any clothes, if he's exposed to too much heat, he can die. If
he's exposed to too much cold, he can die, whereas the other creatures in whatever circumstances are
born in, they're physically equipped to deal with it,
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			isn't it so?
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			But human beings are not.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:53
			Similarly, we see that the human infant is the weakest human child is the weakest
		
00:10:54 --> 00:11:21
			other creatures, as soon as they're born, within hours, they can start walking, isn't it? Within
hours, they can start running within days, they're almost adults, they're able to eat themselves,
they're able to hunt themselves. They can survive on their own, even without their parents, but
human beings are the weakest. But still, we see that the weakest of all creation has survived the
most has excelled the most.
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:28
			You don't see any other creature, any other kind of species, exciting the way human beings are
exciting.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:40
			They don't have universities, they don't have businesses, they don't have anything of that sort. But
human beings do. Isn't that enough to make a person understand that there's someone else who has
given this preference to human beings over the other creatures,
		
00:11:42 --> 00:12:03
			that human beings are the weakest, weakest, the most vulnerable, but we see that they're the most
dominant why, because of the apple that Allah has given. Because of the time he is able to
distinguish between what is good and what is harmful, because of the knowledge that Allah has given
to human beings.
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:27
			Similarly, Allah has given preference to human beings, with the ability to speak not speech, that
other creatures also they're able to express themselves. However, human beings are able to speak and
communicate in a way that is much more extensive and better compared to how other creatures
communicate with one another.
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:38
			Similar to human beings have been given preference in another way as well. And what is that, that
when they die, when human beings die? What are we supposed to do?
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			Give them a bath, and then bury them,
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			obviously believers,
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:48
			but other creatures when they die, there's no
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:59
			there is no supernatural janessa. And many times there's nothing even because such dead animals they
only become food for other creatures.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:04
			So Allah has given honor to human beings in many ways.
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:10
			And one more way is their dominance over the rest of the creatures,
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:22
			that human beings are able to tame, many, many animals, they can take advantage from many various
types of creatures, but other creatures cannot do the same with human beings.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:30
			And over here, last panel data says that we felt the level or that cathedra amendment Hanako noticed
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:36
			that human beings have been given preference over many other creatures of the last time.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:46
			Now there is a question, this preference that Allah has given to human beings. Is it conditional? Or
is it absolutely?
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:57
			Is it absolute, that regardless of who a human being is, however, he is, how righteous how wicked,
he is better than every other creature or is it with a condition only?
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:06
			You see, in certain ways, in certain ways, this stuff lien is absolute, how
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:27
			that just because a human being, this believes in Allah does not mean that he will not have alcohol,
he will not have, he will not be able to speak, he will not be able to walk his physical form will
be deformed, no, he will still be better in the tangible sense compared to compared to for example,
other animals.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:37
			However, in other ways, a human being is better than other creatures, when he meets a certain
condition.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			And what is that condition
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:42
			of Eman And
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:59
			we learn in sort of vaikunta I number seven, in alladhina amanu where amilo Sawyer had their eco
home hydrobiologia that indeed those people who have believed and who do righteous deeds, they're
the best of creatures, the best of creatures.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:09
			So what does it show? That when a person when a human being believes and His righteousness, then he
is even better than an angel?
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			He is better than angels even.
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:14
			Why How?
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:24
			Because the human being is then believing in Allah and worshiping him out of his choice, out of his
choice.
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:57
			But the angels, yes, they are very obedient to Allah, but they don't have a choice. So there is no
struggle, there is no test, there is no difficulty. But for the human being, it's very difficult. So
when he worships Allah when he does righteousness, that his status is higher than that of the
angels. And we see that it's because of this reason other than when he was given knowledge, what
happened, a loss, made the angels prostrate, to show that he is better than you.
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:29
			But on the other hand, those people who do not even recognize Allah, who do not even acknowledge
that Allah is their Creator, he is their provider. And as a result of that, they don't thank him.
They don't pray to Him. They're not grateful for so many blessings that He has given them. Then what
happens? Then such creatures such people, they're worse than all other creations.
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:47
			inserted by Hina I number six, we learn in a Latina cafaro Minh LLP Tabby will mishti kena fanatee
Johanna mahali Dena fee her Ooh, la eeka, whom shall rule Berea those who disbelieve what's their
status, that they are the worst of creation.
		
00:16:48 --> 00:17:12
			And if you remember the I inserted above that those people who have hearts but with them they do not
understand they have eyes but with them they don't see and they have ears with which they do not
listen. Meaning they don't use these abilities to reason they don't use these abilities to recognize
Allah to worship him to thank him to do with them what he is pleased with, then such people are
getting an army balloon.
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:18
			They're like raising livestock, but rather they are worse.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:20
			So what does it show?
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:30
			That if a person believes if a person is grateful, if a person is obedient, then he is excellent,
most excellent.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:44
			But if a person does not do that, then he is a worst of gracias. Why? Because we learned earlier
what Eman che in LA you sub better behind the every single thing is glorifying our last presenter.
		
00:17:45 --> 00:18:02
			So if the table before us, if the pen in our hand is the food that we eat, the clothes that we wear,
if they are glorifying Allah, if they're obedient to Allah, and we are wasting our time chatting
away about useless things, that who is better. Think about it, who is better.
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:07
			The thing that is inanimate or the thing that is animate the thing that is nonliving or the living?
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:17
			Obviously a thing that is nonliving. Why? Because in whatever capacity that it has been given, what
is it doing? Its glorifying, its worshipping.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:30
			And if despite having intellect, despite having reason, if we don't worship Allah, if we don't thank
Him, then we are the worst of all creatures
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:32
			recitation.
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:15
			And you see, when a person is obedient, the more obedient he becomes, the more he excels in his
righteousness, the more higher is a status
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:42
			because even amongst human beings are various levels, even amongst the righteous, there are various
levels, one level is of just a Muslim, another is of a movement and others have a mockery and others
have a more sin. And then it goes higher and higher then come the messengers, the sorry, the
Shahada, so depending on the the different different levels, so the more a person increases in his
obedience, the higher his level is,
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:49
			and the higher his rank is in righteousness, the higher his rank will be were in paradise.
