00:08:07--> 00:08:10

Have you known?

00:08:12--> 00:08:42

What is and when Allah Ibrahim Ibrahim alayhis salam said the OBE to his father as our other attentively Do do you take us namun idols Ali Herten gods as deities in the indeed I Urraca. I see you were comarca and your people fee in one URL in error Mubin one that is manifest open clear.

00:08:43--> 00:09:28

What is dollar Ibrahim? And recall when Ibrahim said who is being addressed in this ayah the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is being addressed. He is being asked to remember to recall the time when Ibrahim said something to his father. Obviously the Prophet saw a lot isn't it was not present there to witness that scene. But what is meant here is that recall meaning imagine that scene bring that picture to your mind that Ibrahim is saying something to his father, who is Ibrahim Hadid, Allah, the friend of Allah, he is a bull Ambia the father of the prophets jugular or the grandfather of the Arabs, he is Abu Ismail Al and Abu is help the father of is married and the father of is

00:09:28--> 00:09:59

hell. And when he was a father of is married and the father of his help, what does that mean? That he was the father of all the prophets who came after him. So realize who Allah subhanaw taala is talking about? His friend, the father of the prophets, Ibrahim, when he said something to his father, what did he say? That Oh my father, do you take a Snellman as gods? Do you take us man plural of Sonam sod no name and Sonam are basically idols. Big

00:10:00--> 00:10:23

Gers figures statues whether they are 2d or 3d that are made for the purpose of worship that a person has certain beliefs about them that they possess some divine attributes and divine qualities. So a person worships those pictures or idols or whatever you want to call them. So this is what Aufnahme is. Can you give me examples of Osman yes

00:10:24--> 00:10:33

okay so for example the people of Arab they used to worship idols that were called a let Allah Rosa Okay, anything today that you know of?

00:10:34--> 00:10:34

Yes.

00:10:36--> 00:11:22

Okay, so for example, many Hindu deities, which are sometimes the pictures are drawn, sometimes the statues are made. Similarly in the Christian faith when they make statues, pictures of ECE artists and M or Meriam. All of this is what examples of us now, so the people of Ibrahim and his sunnah, what kind of believed they have also in a snaps Ibrahim asked that you take a snap was Alia floral of Isla in the Arakawa coma Kofi Ebola movie Oh my father, I see you and your people in clear error, meaning clearly what you're doing is something that doesn't make any sense. Now, Ibrahim Hassan was born in a mystic society, in a society that worshipped multitude of gods that were polytheistic

00:11:22--> 00:12:09

basically, and it is said that in the city of Earth where he was born, in that city alone, there were about 5000 idols. There were about 5000 idols in that city alone. And this was approximately 4000 years ago, when Ibrahim Renison came. So we see here that Ibrahim ruinous and when he realized that what the people were doing was clearly wrong. What did he do? He first spoke to his father, if called Ibrahim only a b He and who was his father, his name was, as of some people say his name was something else. This was his title, whatever, whether it was his name or his title, Allah subhanaw taala called him as So Ibrahim spoke to his father about the wrong beliefs that he had. What does

00:12:09--> 00:12:48

this teach us the charity begins from home, that when a person begins to do something good, that he must start from his own household from the people who are closest to him. Ibrahim spoke to his father. Likewise, we see that the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam who did he speak to his wife Khadija first and foremost, and then from his closest friends, Abu Bakr, and then our little blue article, and then the circle gradually grew bigger and bigger. But basically we see that when you begin something good, you must begin from those who are closest to you. If you say if you make a promise with yourself, I'm going to be very patient with people, then you first and foremost

00:12:48--> 00:13:32

have to be patient with you, with your spouse with your children before you are patient with you know person that you almost get into an argument with at a store. So charity begins from where your own house, so he first spoke to his father that in the Araca will call Maka feel but early Mubin. Notice he says your people, not my people, your people meaning people who are like you, who share the same beliefs and ideologies as you your people, meaning people who do shake and he says that your way is off bull alley, moonbeam clear error meaning you are not on the correct path at all. Because what is the correct path, the way of Tawheed believing in Allah subhanaw taala alone that he

00:13:32--> 00:14:16

alone deserves worship. So, when some people are worshipping a multitude of Gods then clearly they are in error. Now what he said to his father is mentioned in much more detail at other places in the Quran. For example, in solid medium, and in many other places which inshallah we will read as we study one after the other. But here, a simple question of his as mentioned, what was that simple question, a doctor who was Nam and Alia, do you take these idols as gods, you actually worship these idols? You think that these are Gods using that they can benefit you and they can harm you? This is a simple question, that how can you worship these idols? It doesn't make any sense to me. It is

00:14:16--> 00:14:59

blood Allah Mubin it is clear error. What can I Lika and thus nudie we show Ibrahima to Ibrahim Mala, code, Dominion, exclusive dominion, a semi word of the heavens of the skies while up and the earth, Wali Hakuna, and so that he would be men from a movie Nene, those who believe with certainty, those who have conviction. Allah says waka Valley Canary Ibrahima Mara Kuta sama wa T will of meaning in the same way we showed Ibrahim Allah subhanaw taala dominion of the heavens and the earth, meaning justice Ibrahim was made to realize the error

00:15:00--> 00:15:48

of his people. When he saw them worshipping idols, he realized that this is wrong, * is wrong. He was also made to realize and understand what Allah subhanaw taala is though he Allah's oneness. So on the one hand he understood that worshipping idols is wrong. And on the other hand he also understood that worshiping Allah alone, that is the correct way, that is the right path. And how did he understand Allah's oneness? How that is mentioned in this ayah that what Cavalli can gnudi Allah subhanaw taala showed him what Mallacoota sama what you will own the dominion of the heavens and the earth. The word mela coot This is new. It's from the root letters meme lamb calf milk. What does

00:15:48--> 00:16:41

milk mean? possession, right? When someone owns something, when someone owns something, they have authority over it. All right. And the word matter coot the Wow. And the tower over here. They indicate mobile over and what does that mean? That the entire Dominion entire dominion, okay over the heavens and over the earth is whose? Whose is it? Allah subhanaw taala is alone. So the word Melaku is used only for who? Allah azza wa jal because he alone possesses the heavens and the earth in their entirety. You know, a person may own a house, they may own a business, all right. And a country may own a state, okay, but they do not own the entire Earth. And within that state also they

00:16:41--> 00:17:32

don't own everything. Correct. They don't own everything. Likewise, people of the world, you know, there may be some people in history when we've learned about that they had great empires, right? Because they had great conquests, they went far and wide and conquered every land that they could come across. Think of Alexander Okay, think of little codename local name, he conquered so much of this land. But did he conquer the moon, to conquer the sun? No. So we see that the creation they are limited in their ownership. But Allah subhanaw Dona his ownership is in entirety, meaning everything is belongs to Allah subhanaw taala alone. So Mala could have a similar word of an art, that he alone

00:17:32--> 00:18:22

owns the skies, and he alone owns the earth, and the skies and everything within them. What is within the sky, the sun, the moon, the clouds, the stars, and everything that happens, who's behind all of this one supreme being the earth, what's on the earth, the rivers, the seas, the streams, the mountains, the people, the animals, the birds, the insects, who is behind all of this, Allah subhanaw taala alone. And this is something very true that when you reflect on the earth, when you reflect on what goes on in the sky, you realize that really, there is one power behind all this, there is one supreme being behind all this, you know how, because everything works. Together,

00:18:23--> 00:19:08

everything works together, meaning Allah subhanaw taala has created his creation such that they are linked to each other. There is an ecosystem, right? Within your body, there is a digestive system, right? There's so many systems within your body, what does that show that each organ is connected with the other? Right? When you swallow your food, the stomach has to digest it. So the stomach has to cooperate with the rest of the system. If the stomach does not cooperate, and what will happen, what's going to happen your digestive system is not going to work, you may have amazing teeth, which do a wonderful job at chewing food, but if that food is not going to be digested by the stomach,

00:19:08--> 00:19:58

what good are those teeth See, so, you just reflect a little bit on your body even and you realize that there is one being that is controlling the body that has made the body such that it should function together. And Allah subhanaw taala shows to us that when one organ fails, when one organ is not functioning properly not performing well, then what happens the entire body gets corrupted, alright. So whether it is a very small system, or it is a very big system, look at the water cycle. Right? The clouds they bring down the rain, and then the sun, it causes the water to evaporate. So both are working together in harmony. So the fact that everything is working together in harmony,

00:19:58--> 00:19:59

what does it show that there is

00:20:00--> 00:20:53

One Being who is behind all of this, and he has Mallacoota summer work he will up. He has exclusive ownership of the heavens and the earth. So Ibrahim Rossella he was made to see this meaning Allah subhanaw taala gave him the ability to realize this. How did he realize this? by reflecting on Allah subhanaw taala as a earth by reflecting on his creation, if you just notice the changing seasons, that itself proves to you the Oneness of Allah. So, what can Daddy can we Ibrahima Mallacoota. Samoa it will org why, well, he akuna minal movie Nene so that he would be of those who have yaki Moroccan in Florida Mukhin was smoking one who has the Acadia cough noon, and what is your clean conviction

00:20:53--> 00:21:42

when a person believes with certainty so much that he doesn't have any doubt at all? So we see that on the one hand, Ibrahim Hassan was made to understand the error of his people. And on the other hand, he also understood the truth of Allah subhanaw. Taala is oneness, so error and truth both were made clear to him. And when that happened, he developed certainty and conviction in who Allah that he alone deserves worship He alone is God. Because when do you have conviction, when you have doubts, no, if you have even the slightest doubt, you cannot be convinced you cannot have conviction, then what will happen? You will tell yourself No, no, this is true. And then after a few

00:21:42--> 00:22:30

moments, you will start questioning, the doubts will become stronger. So in order to have absolute certainty, all doubts have to be removed. So Ibrahim Hassan was given this conviction how by realizing the error of shake, and by understanding by seeing the Oneness of Allah subhanaw taala what are the early Canary Ibrahima Mallacoota sama? What you will up, while the akuna minal mochi Nene. This is why Allah subhanaw taala told us into Tunis, I went to one colon guru Murphy center where it will act that say, look at all that is in the heavens and the earth. Go look at the sky, look at the Earth. But we're just so closed in our lives that we just look at our phones. And we

00:22:30--> 00:22:37

look at the paint on the ceiling. That's all that our eyes look at. That's how far our vision goes.

00:22:38--> 00:23:03

Reflection increases Eman, reflection, it strengthens your faith. So this is why Allah tells us look at the sky and look at the Earth. When you're driving when you're sitting in the car. Don't just keep checking your phone, if there any new messages, no, look out the window, look at the clouds, look at the sun, look at the grass, look at the trees and take lessons from all this.

00:23:04--> 00:23:55

Now, Allah subhanaw taala he has created all people on fitrah what the spectrummy the innate nature that the built in ability to recognize Allah subhanaw taala, or that realization that there is a God, there is Allah there is someone who made me who deserves worship who is behind all this. So this is within every person, a natural realization of the hate. But what happens is the people we are born into, what do they do they corrupt this fitrah in the Hadith, what do we learn that every child is born upon the fitrah but it is his parents it is his family that either make him Jewish or Christian or via worshiper, they shape his beliefs, they corrupt that fitrah of his and some people,

00:23:55--> 00:24:39

many people in fact, they become prey to the society in this way that whatever the people are doing whatever they're practicing whatever they're worshipping, they follow that same way. But there are some other individuals who don't follow blindly. What do they do? They use the mind that Allah has given them. They question the use the reason? Look at the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam he was born in a society that was full of *. Imagine the Kaaba was full of idols. There were big idols around the Kaaba, the whole culture revolved around shake. You know, in today's world, we see that religion and the rest of a person's life their separate religion is only at the masjid or only

00:24:39--> 00:24:59

at the church or only in your own house, but at school, it's not forced on you at your workplace. It's not forced on you. So we see a clear distinction, right? But at that time, religion was a part of the culture. Religion is what dictated your business, your life, your social interactions with others, right? But we see that's

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

Do the prophets of Allah Islam understood before prophet hood? That this is not right? worshipping idols? This doesn't make sense. How is it possible that you make something yourself out of clay, and then you prostrate to it? It doesn't make any sense that you bring an offering to a god to an idol. And then somebody else comes in, etc. It doesn't make sense that you go and ask the idol. What should I do an old woman behind the idol? And she tells you do this or don't do it? I mean, you're playing with yourself. So he understood that this doesn't make sense. And this is why * bothered him so much, that he would leave Makkah for so long, and he would go where to the cave and just

00:25:39--> 00:26:20

remain there for days. He would remain there for days and Hadees we learned yet the Hannahs that he would just meditate there. He would worship Allah over there, however, he could just reflect all right. And just like that, we see that Ibrahim Ernest and I'm also long before Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, he underwent the same thing. He didn't accept what the people were doing. No, he questioned it. He analyzed it. He used his mind the reasoning that Allah subhanaw taala had given him that does it make sense to worship idols? Does it make sense to spend your money in this way? Does it make sense to spend your life in this way? And in this is a very important lesson for us that many times,

00:26:20--> 00:26:40

we want to do something just because that's what you're supposed to do. That's what everybody does, right? For example, if somebody's getting married, of course, you have to spend this much money. Of course, you have to dress up in this way. Of course, you have to have so many parties and functions and dinners and lunches and whatever. Why?

00:26:41--> 00:27:17

Why do you have to do it? Is it fault that Allah subhanaw taala say that in his kitab? No, but we just do it blindly. Just the other day, somebody was asking me that if someone you know has memorized has completed their memorization of the Quran, how is that supposed to be celebrated? I said, in the Quran, Allah says fondly of Rahu, that they should be happy, they should rejoice. So it is a time of celebration, you should be happy about it. But they said no, but how exactly is it necessary to have a big party? Is it necessary to let everybody know about it? I said, No, it's not. Because he said that what happens is that when we tell everybody about it, then it corrupts your

00:27:17--> 00:27:36

intention. Right. And when you know that everybody knows I've memorized the Quran, then I might start showing off. I don't want to do it for the people, I want to do it for Allah. So she was asking, is it necessary for me to let everybody know that I have completed my memorization? Or can I keep this as something between myself and Allah?

00:27:37--> 00:28:21

Because there is a culture, right? That if somebody memorizes the Quran, then a huge party has to be strong. She said that we're doing a small thing within the family. Is that not sufficient? I said, Yes, it is. So this is a very good thing, that we really ask ourselves a question ourselves, and why am I doing what I'm doing? Why am I dressing up this way? Why am I talking in this way? Why am I going to this place? Why? Just because everybody's doing it? Or does it actually make sense to do it? Is it actually beneficial to do it? So Ibrahim Hassan, he challenged his people over here, starting from his father, that you take idols as gods, it doesn't make any sense to me.

00:28:22--> 00:29:03

And in the following verses, we see that how Ibrahima has he showed to his people, that it doesn't make sense to worship others besides Allah subhanaw taala. Now, one thing I'd like to mention to you before we begin the story that has mentioned the following verses, is that there is a difference of opinion concerning this incident. Some scholars have said that this happened before he received his prophethood so this was, you know, his journey to Allah, his journey to recognizing Allah subhanaw taala. But other scholars said that no, this was after he developed your pain in Allah's oneness. So it wasn't that he was doing Schilke No, because the prophets are above that even before prophet who

00:29:03--> 00:29:49

didn't commit Schick. So this was something that happened after he received prophethood after he realized the Oneness of Allah, and by doing what he did by saying what he said he was basically proving to the people the Oneness of Allah subhanaw taala Fila muscle when Jana it covered our lay he upon him a lady of the night fell imaginarily He laid when the night covered him the word Jana Jean new noon, and it means to cover to fall upon. from the same root is Janine, which is used for the fetus because it's covered. It's hidden, right from the same root as the word Junoon which is madness insanity because the person's Oculus is not covered he cannot use it properly. Alright, so

00:29:49--> 00:30:00

follow my agenda. I lay in lane when the night covered him meaning with its darkness. So basically Night fell. What happened? He saw who

00:30:00--> 00:30:51

Ibrahim Rani Sena when the night fell, he saw coke oven a star. Coca means star so he saw a star in the sky, and the star must have been bigger and brighter than other stars. So it attracted him. What did he say? Allah He said had a bee. He said meaning before his people announcing to them that this star is my Lord. Why? Because it's so bright. Right? It's so attractive. It's in the sky. Maybe this is who God is. Maybe the star, you know controls my life, as many people believe even today, right that if you have a particular star, which is why they keep asking you what's your star? What's your zodiac sign? They think that that has an effect on your life. So anyway, going ahead I'll be he said

00:30:51--> 00:31:44

this is my Lord fell Amma. But when a fella it says a fella from Hamza Furla. It is when something disappears after being seen. So he saw the star. And then it disappeared. It disappeared. When did it disappear? In the morning. As the night departed, the star disappeared. Father He said love or hate boo. I don't love I don't like feeling those who disappear and avid in the ones who disappear. The ones who set Florida FL effing one who a fella. So he said, I don't like this thing that just disappeared on me. Meaning what kind of a god is this? This is not God. So the star, I'm not going to take it as my God anymore. Because it doesn't fit the majesty of God, that he would disappear,

00:31:44--> 00:32:10

that at some times he's there for you. And other times, he's not there for you at all. So if I want to talk to my god, again, I have to wait until the nightfalls. No, this doesn't make any sense. He said Lau hibel aphelion, I don't like those who sets I'm not going to worship this star. I'm not going to take the star as my God. But that he mentioned that Ibrahim knew that his lord is eternal and never ceases.

00:32:11--> 00:32:43

And this is something that is you can say, logical about God, it makes sense that God should be eternal, that he should never cease. Because if he's not eternal, if he ceases to exist, then what is the difference between God and others? What would be the difference? All right, think about it. People. Are they helpful? Yes. Do they have the ability to help you and support you? Yes, for sure. Can they guide you hear?

00:32:44--> 00:33:24

So if your mom can guide you, and be there for you, then why should you have the need to turn to a god? Why? Because God can do more than what your mom can? Correct. But if there are times when your mom cannot help you because she's not there. And if God is also like that, that there are times he's not available, then what's the difference? What's the difference? How is God superior to the creation that so remember, if you ever have a discussion with somebody about why we believe in Allah as God, why, because He is eternal.

00:33:26--> 00:33:49

And everything else besides him not eternal? One of the names of Allah subhanaw taala is which one l hate? Who is Alhaj? The everliving the one who was always alive is alive will always remain alive and no one is like that. No one but Allah is like that. So he said let or herbal affiliate I don't like those who disappear.

00:33:51--> 00:34:28

So whether it is an idol that people believe in, I mean, the idol is there in one room can't be with you everywhere you go. Right? Some people that's what they do they take their idols with them, which is what the machine you can use to do at the time of the prophets of Allah Edison was well, they would take their idols with them on their journeys. how inconvenient? How difficult is that? Should you worry about yourself, when should you be worrying about your God, that I have to take my god with me everywhere? No, your God should be taking you in on you taking your God All right. So, this is a very, very important thing we must remember and understand that Allah azza wa jal is different

00:34:28--> 00:34:59

from the creation, how that He is eternal. He is eternal. He is always always available. What are you there, sir? Kariba do I need for any curry Corrib always, always near. You can always call upon him. He can always talk to him. Whether you are at home or at school in the bus, you're sad you're sick, you're fine, you're happy what ever state you may be in

00:35:00--> 00:35:56

You can always call upon Allah because he is a leave. When we say Allah is Eileen, what does it mean that he knows about everything? When we say that he's Sameer, he hears everything, every sound every statement that you say in your heart, you say as a whisper you say out loud he hears everything. So when he is so different from the rest of the beings out there, then he alone deserves worship. So he said let hibel ethylene follow Moran when he saw uncommon or the moon the next night he saw the Moon bears the one emerging basil bat ze vine buzzoole is to rise to emerge to come out so as he saw the moon rising emerging coming out with its full brightness and radiance you know, again so attractive

00:35:56--> 00:36:46

just like the star was the previous night. So when he saw the moon Bezier one Allah He said, we're not hearing this and I'm sad to hear that I'll be okay this is my God. Perhaps this is who God is because it's bigger than the star brighter than the star fella but when a fella it sat the moon also went on a said let in shortly if lamb Yardeni lamb did not yet then He guides me Robbie, my Lord, let a Conan, surely I will definitely be men from El Cajon, the people of Berlin, those who are astray. He said, If my Lord doesn't guide me to himself, then I am going to be of those who are astray. I am going to be of those who are lost, that I will know who is my god who I'm supposed to

00:36:46--> 00:36:47

worship.

00:36:48--> 00:37:34

And remember that he's saying all of this before who in front of who? His people because he's proving to them the irrationality of schicke that how can you worship so many gods besides Allah? It doesn't make sense. How can you not worship Allah alone? And when he presented this logic, perhaps he was hoping that they would understand, but they didn't. So then again, he had to try something different. And what was that the next day in the morning for lumma than when he saw a shumsa the son basil rotten, rising. Earlier we learned the word basil. And over here we see the word basil Latin. What's the difference between basil and basil? What's the difference? Grammatically? meaning is the

00:37:34--> 00:37:49

same. What's the difference? Grammatically? Basil one is masculine. And basil Latin is feminine. And this shows to us that come up is masculine. And Shams is feminine. You might say why?

00:37:51--> 00:38:13

Why? Because it's just like that. Is just like that. There are many languages in which things are referred to with a particular gender. Okay, for example, in French, I was told I don't speak French, I don't understand French. I was told that even in French, you refer to things as either masculine or feminine. Is that true? So can you give me an example?

00:38:14--> 00:38:15

Yes.

00:38:18--> 00:38:29

Okay, there is of two types, masculine and feminine. So if you're referring to an object for which feminine genders to be used, then you will use that kind of the Okay. Yes.

00:38:33--> 00:39:09

Okay, for t masculine petite, feminine, okay, whatever. So anyway, you understand what I mean? Right? Many people here also speak or do in Urdu also, same thing. You say, for instance, your table or Tao your table? ricotta, not rocky tea, if you say many you table Rocky, that doesn't make sense, right? So even a table has a gender? Yes. Even in Italian, same thing. So anyway, in Arabic also same thing that objects have genders, either masculine or feminine.

00:39:10--> 00:39:37

So for the model shumsa zileuton, when he saw the sun appearing on it, he said Heather disrupt Be my Lord. He said, Okay, the sun is my God. Why? What's the reason because has a cabal, this is greater, the sun is greater, bigger than the moon than the star. Notice how he started with the star when bigger to the moon, and even bigger to the sun.

00:39:38--> 00:39:42

And this is something that many people go through in their lives.

00:39:43--> 00:39:45

That when they're young,

00:39:46--> 00:40:00

and they have a toy, for example, they think, Oh, wow, this truck of mine, this doll of mine. Wow. It's the best, which is why they'll hold it. They'll sleep with it. They'll take it everywhere. And after a few years or after a few days. Where's that truck

00:40:00--> 00:40:42

I don't know, you give a teenager that same monster truck as a gift, they'll be like, What is this? Alright? And then what happens, other things seem to be greater in their eyes, which is why they are more attracted towards them. So for example, a video game, but then soon after that a video game, which was such a big deal for them is not a big deal anymore. What do they want an iPhone or an iPad or something like that. And then a phase comes when even that is not a big deal anymore. They want bigger and better, bigger and better, right? And then eventually, if a person is rightly guided by Allah, than a person realizes that the things of this dunya no matter how big no matter how good

00:40:42--> 00:40:52

they are, they're not worth it. They're not worth it. They're not worth my time. They're not worth my worry. I want the pleasure of Allah soprano third.

00:40:53--> 00:41:37

So this is something very natural that people go through in their lives. As they see something bigger and greater. They leave the previous one. So Ibrahima is that when he saw the sun he said, Hey, that would be Heather Aqua. This is bigger, greater Fatima than when I felt that it said the sun also said at the time of sunset, Kala he said, You have called me all my people, in Newberry Indeed, I am disassociated with I am innocent of I am free of memento, Shikun of that which you associate, meaning, I don't have anything to do with all these beings that you worship, like I mentioned to you, there were at least 5000 idols or beings whom the people of that time believed in,

00:41:38--> 00:42:18

right as gods. So imagine there were many, many gods that they believed in Ibrahim Hassan went through 123. And he said, No, not worth it doesn't make any sense. And he said, That's it all my people in the body, but he is someone who disassociate himself with someone that I have nothing to do with you, I'm cut off, I'm different. I'm separate from this, I'm not going to do this. I don't believe in it. I am very much recall of that which you associated with Allah. Because there's a huge difference between the creator and the creation, these beings that are worthy of worship, how can I rely upon them? How can I hope from them, how can I expect from them

00:42:19--> 00:42:55

so I find it really interesting that even Abraham and I used to them he points out each like first a star and then the moon and then the sun, he still pointed them out in singular terms, he never believed that there were multiple gods even from the beginning he only pointed Okay, so this one has to be my god and then this one is better than the previous one. So that means the other one can't be it has to be this one. And then when the sun came, it had to be the sun not the other two, even like throughout this phase, he always thought of it in singular terms, there could only be one god yes, and this is very true that even in religions where people believe in multiple gods, they always have

00:42:55--> 00:43:36

this belief of one of them being superior to the rest. And even in the people of Ibrahim Al Islam, they had this belief that there was this one particular idol by the name of not that some people say that they believed in to be the greatest of them. Now remember that story when he went into the temple and broke all the idols and he bought whatever tool that he used the axe in the hand off the biggest one of them, biggest one of them. So there is always this belief that there is one who is greater right? This is within the nature of people they understand this but some people what happens is they are too attached to many other things so they don't want to let go of them. Dislike we don't

00:43:36--> 00:44:24

want to let go of too many people whom we love too many things that we love, we don't want to let go of them for Allah subhanaw taala right we want everything everyone but it can't be always there will always be times when you have to let go of others if you want Allah subhanaw taala to be happy with you. So he said he called me anybody remember to Shri cone I have nothing to do with these beings that you associated with Allah in the indeed I want to I have directed my face what jet the word he my face what jet to what jet to what he bought from the router as well Jim have what you how you would do is to direct one's face in a particular direction. So for example, if a person is facing

00:44:24--> 00:44:48

east so he will say what JetBlue towards the east okay. So in the what jet wedge he I have directed my face meaning I have turned my face littler the towards the one who fought on a summer wet you will have photo he created he initiated What's the meaning of a thorough he What do you have in your just innovative

00:44:49--> 00:44:59

create created? It's not just creation because football is to initiate the creation meaning it is to make some

00:45:00--> 00:45:47

thing for the first time ever to bring to existence, innovate, you can see, okay, so I believe in the one I have directed my attention my face meaning I am devoted to the one who created the heavens and the earth. He is the one whom I believe in, not something that was created, something that was made. No, I turned towards the one who made all of this, I am very impressed by the star. But you know who I am more impressed by the maker of that star. I'm very impressed by the moon and the sun. But you know who's greater, the maker of the moon and the sun,

00:45:48--> 00:46:16

the one who originated the heavens and the earth, He is the one whom I turned towards. And this is the read. This is belief in Allah's oneness. And this is something that we really need to check ourselves about, that we get very impressed by people, right? That if they have accomplished great things, or if they're very knowledgeable, imagine if a person can be so smart and intelligent,

00:46:18--> 00:46:28

then how much more knowledgeable and greater in his knowledge. And wisdom is the creator of that person.

00:46:30--> 00:46:40

If we are so impressed by the beauty of someone how beautiful they are, how amazing they are in their looks, than imagine the one who fashioned him

00:46:41--> 00:46:47

how great he must be. We are fascinated by the things that people make. Wow.

00:46:48--> 00:47:10

But imagine the one who is behind all those people who gave them that intellect and that ability to make all that. So in the word jet, the word you hear Lilla the father of a summer word he will have. He is the one whom I worship. I have purified my religion and made my worship sincere for him alone, honey fun.

00:47:11--> 00:47:58

What does Hanif mean? unswerving? Focused, meaning I am focused on Allah alone. It is like you turn your face in a particular direction and then you just face that direction. You don't turn right or left you don't go here and there. You don't get distracted. Hanif, my goal is Allah. He is the one whom I want to please he is the one for whom I dedicate my life and my death, my sacrifice my rituals, my prayers, everything dedicated to him on an Amazon Machine Mushrikeen warmer and not and I mean from admission again, those who associate partners with Allah, meaning I do not do * at all. I have nothing to do with this chick. Let's listen to the recitation of these verses. What if

00:47:58--> 00:48:01

00:49:36--> 00:49:48

231234 bahasa Maharani one

00:49:51--> 00:49:53

shrieky

00:49:55--> 00:49:59

Can you relate with the story? yourself? How

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

Sometimes we go after people, right that there is a particular person, we love them, we really, really want them, but they disappoint us. There is another person, we really expect that they will be helpful to us, but then they disappoint us. There's something that you really like, maybe a car, and you work like crazy to be able to afford that car, and that car breaks down on you. And eventually it's not worth anything. It will be cheaper to get rid of it, than to fix it. You chase a house, you want to get a house within that house disappoints you that it's not perfect, it's not ideal, or that it's too much of a burden on you.

00:50:40--> 00:51:22

You chase, for example, an education, that's your goal or particular degree and at the end, you're sick of it. You don't want to have anything to do with it. There are many things that people set as their goals in their lives. And they spend years and years trying to get there. But what happens eventually they realize, perhaps it wasn't worth it. Maybe it wasn't worth it. Because it has hurt me more than it has brought me happiness. It has made me angrier than it has made me happier. It has made me more impatient. So this is true with regards to everything about this dunya whether it's a person or an object, something tangible or intangible, everything is going to disappoint you. But

00:51:22--> 00:51:56

Allah subhanaw taala he should be your goal. He should be your goal. Ibrahim, listen, I'm said in the word. The word here Lilla, the fedora somehow it will when he gave me everything I have. Why not? That I dedicate myself and everything I have to him? What did this car ever give me? That I dedicate all my money to it? Why did this person ever give me that I dedicate all of my time and efforts towards him? What favor did they ever do to you? And even if they did something to you, it's not as great as a favor that Allah has done to you.

00:51:57--> 00:52:16

So Allah is the one who made me the one who gave me everything. He is the one whom I dedicate myself to in the word, the word here Lilla the Fatah similarity will have Hanifa Hanifa focused focused on Him not distracted by anything by anyone. What about an Eminem Rushdie King
