			Lesson number 204 Sora to learn Caboose i n number 16 Smilla Rahmanir Rahim
		

			What if Allah Hema and Ibrahim alayhis salam is on early Academy he when he said to his people, or
Buddha Allah, what the guru who? Worship Allah and fear him? Why? Because they're leikam highroller
calm that is best for you. In contenta Allah moon, if you should know, Ibrahim alayhis salam is
mentioned over here. In the previous verses we learned about no Alayhis Salam, prophet after prophet
is now mentioned over here to explain to us what it truly means to be a believer in Allah azza wa
jal that what kind of trials what kind of difficulties a person may face when he believes in Allah,
when he's calling people to Allah? Over here, the example of Ibraheem Alehissalaam has mentioned
		

			that Ibrahim and Ibrahim and his son was from the ocular ASAN Mina Russell, he was one of those
prophets who were given a lot of determination, meaning he wasn't one of those prophets who gave up
easily. No, he was someone who had a lot of determination in on the economy. He when He said to his
people, his people, meaning his tribe, his nation that he lived amongst, and he began from his
family, what did he say? Or a Buddha, Allah, all of you should worship Allah, what the Google and
you should fear him. Notice over here, Ibrahima Islam, when Allah subhanaw taala shows him the
truth, when Allah gives him guidance, He doesn't just keep it to himself. What does he do, he takes
		

			it to others. Because the thing is that when you're doing something different from the people who
are around you, either you're going to call them to what you're doing, or they're going to call you
to what they're doing.
		

			You understand, either you are going to be inviting them to what you're doing, or they will start
inviting you to what they're doing. Now, many times what happens we find ourselves in a situation
where we are being called, right? We are being asked, we are being ordered, we are being told, Do
this, do this, do this, don't do this. And we learn in the Surah that a person cannot make
compromises when it comes to his religion. When it comes to the worship of Allah subhanaw taala. You
cannot even listen to your parents in order to do Sheikh with Allah, You can't do that. Right? So
what do we learn from the example of Ibrahim or his sunnah, that even though he was the only person
		

			upon though hate, he didn't feel intimidated by the number of the people in his nation, he became
the doctor, he, he became the caller, he started calling them because when you start calling others,
then what happens? You have almost like the upper hand, you have strength, right? You're basically
addressing them from a point of strength, because you're so confident in what you believe. And
you're so firm about it, that you don't just want it for yourself, you actually want it for others
also, think about it. Is it easy to be asked about something and then say no.
		

			Is it easy? When somebody asks you to do something you almost feel obligated to respond to them?
Right? So Ibrahim or Islam, he called his family. He called his nation. He did Dawa. To them he said
Worship Allah and fear him. Why worship Allah and fear Him, be servants to Allah because you are His
servants anyway. You are his Mom, look, you are owned by him. Allah is the One Who owns you. So show
servitude because that is what suits you. That is what you are worthy of showing servitude to Allah
because he is your master, he is your owner, that he can hire Lacan that is best for you, meaning if
you worship Allah, you show servitude to him, You fear Him, that is in your best interest. Denying
		

			the right of Allah is only going to harm you. Because the fact is that we are owned by Allah. Right?
And not worshipping Allah not showing servitude to Allah. This doesn't mean that we can avoid Allah,
that we can somehow escape his plan. No, we cannot we are owned by him. So it's only in our best
interest to conform to the rules that Allah subhanaw taala has given to us. You know, for example,
if you are a citizen of a country, then what is in your best interest?
		

			What is breaking the rules or follow the laws? Right? If you follow the laws good for you, if you
don't follow the laws, then what does it mean? You're going to be prosecuted, you are going to be
held accountable for the crimes that you're committing for the laws that you're breaking.
		

			And if somebody says, Well, no, I don't agree with the laws, then what are they told? Go go
somewhere else, isn't it? Now when it comes to the dunya, fine, you can emigrate from one country to
another. You always have the option of you know what, I quit? I am going back home, for example. But
when it comes to being servants of Allah, do we have that option?
		

			Do we have that option? Can we say, You know what, I don't agree with this. I don't want it so
forget it. I quit. Can we quit Allah's creation plan? Can we quit being Allah servants? No, we can't
we don't have that freedom. We don't have that choice. And even if we tried, we wouldn't be able to.
Because remember that there's two types of servitude, herbal DHEA is of two levels. All right. One
level is general level of herb udia. This is another Arma konia. This is basically the entire
creation being Allah servants, whether they believe in Allah or they don't believe in Allah, whether
it's something living or nonliving, a person and animal, an old person or young person, man, woman,
		

			atheist, agnostic believer, whoever, any person, every single creature is Allah's
		

			correct, we are all owned by Allah, He created us, he owns us, he has full authority and control and
power over us, he can give us life whenever he wants, he can cause us to die whenever he wants, he
can give something to us he can take something away from us because after all, we are only His
servants. The second level of riba of herb udia is specific level which is or Buddha or about the
Hustla Kshatriya. Okay, which is basically to show servitude to Allah subhanaw taala. How, by
worshiping Him by devotional service, by some religious observance. All right. This is a battle of
obedience of submissiveness of humility, and love by choice. All right. So Obama here on Instagram
		

			is telling his people that you should show servitude to Allah. Why? Because the Alikum highroller
comb, it's best for you, you are Allah servants anyway, when you will show servitude to him, then
that will be better for you.
		

			Because anything, when it is used for the purpose for which it was made, then is it good for it or
bad for it? It's good for it. Right? Like, for example, if a house is built so that somebody can
live in it, and the house is really being used, right? People are living in it, it is being used,
then you say, okay, it was worth the money. Right? It was worth it. But if it's lying empty, or if
it's not being used as a house, it's being used as a store, right? Or a storage place, a shop or
something like that, then what's going to happen? It's going to fall apart. It's not in its best
interest. Correct. Think about it. You know, for example, there's certain equipment which is made
		

			for use in a house, okay? Like, for example, a dishwasher. Okay? Is there a difference between that
dishwasher which is made for a house compared to an industrial use dishwasher? For restaurant use?
Is there a difference? Huge difference. Now, if you get this really small dishwasher, which is
suitable for an apartment, and you put it in a restaurant, what's going to happen to that
dishwasher?
		

			It's gonna break, right? It's gonna die very quickly. On the other hand, if you get a giant
dishwasher, okay, huge dishwasher, which is supposed to be for a restaurant and you bring it in your
house and you use it there, then what's going to happen? Then what's going to happen? It's going to
consume too much electricity, too much water, isn't it, your electricity bills are going to be very
high. So always, when something is built for a specific purpose, when it is designed for a certain
purpose, when it's used for that purpose, and that is in its best interest, using it for anything
else is never ever in its best interest. So we were made to worship Allah. We were created for the
		

			worship of Allah. And when we worship Allah, when we choose Allah as our master, as our daily as our
goal in life, our love, then what will happen? Our life will make sense. And when we dedicate our
lives to something other than Allah, when we ignore the hug of Allah, we are in reality only harming
ourselves. So Abram here I said, I'm Sid Valley come Jairo. Lakhan. In quantum tharla Moon, if you
new meaning if you have knowledge, then you better worship Allah, then you better have fear of
Allah. What does it show them that a person can only worship Allah when he has?
		

			When he has knowledge, knowledge,
		

			Have whose knowledge of what? First of all knowledge of oneself of one's own reality, that I am
Allah servant. Then knowledge of Allah, knowledge of the reality of this world knowledge of Allah's
book of Allah's law, because when you have knowledge, then do you make a better choice?
		

			Do you make a better choice? Yes, you do. Like for example, if you know what food has what
nutrition, right, then are you going to make better choices when it comes to feeding yourself? When
it comes to grocery shopping? Will you make better choices? You will? Why are you making those
choices because you have knowledge. So in quantum tharla moon if you really have knowledge about
yourself about to reality about the reality of this world, then worship only Allah, then pay
attention to the worship of Allah subhanaw taala. So then this shows to us that if a person does not
worship Allah, then does he really have knowledge? Does he really have knowledge? No, he doesn't.
		

			In NAMA, Ibrahim or SLM said in nama indeed only thurgoona You all worship min dunya Allah He
besides Allah, O thanon idols, oh Thanh is a plural of weapon from wealthy noon and Watson is that
which is worshipped besides Allah, okay, that which is worshipped besides Allah, and it is believed
to possess some divine attributes, some divine powers, such as the ability to create the ability to
give life, the ability to give benefit, or the ability to harm or to protect from harm, so on and so
forth. Okay. And this weapon, could be a star, it could be a statue could be a river could be a
mountain could be an animal, anything about which a person or people believe that this thing or this
		

			object, this person has divine attributes, divine qualities, okay? And so they worship it. So in the
murder bounnam In dunya, Allah he will thanon these idols that you're worshiping, they're just
statues. They're just Oh Thanh. What the lacuna if and you are creating meaning you are producing
falsehood, if remember the word if a lie, right, falsehood, meaning these idols that you make
yourself what are you making in reality falsehood, because it's all lies, these statues? These idols
are not really gods. They are Alia bow Polina, they are false deities, because they have no reality
to them. You know, for example, if you make a phone out of playdough on your cell phone, is it
		

			really a phone? Is it really a phone? No, it's not. No matter how much you pretend that it's a
phone, it's not actually a phone.
		

			Right? Play food? If you say, Oh, so much food? Is it really food? No, it's made of plastic, if you
try to eat it, you're only going to harm yourself. Alright, pretending that it's food is not going
to turn it into real food. Right? So you're making something you're crafting something of gold, of
silver, off wood, any material like that, and you're believing that it is God does not make it God.
This is an if it's a lie that you have produced. Because in the Levina, indeed those who meaning
those beings that you are Bulunan, you worship min dunya Allah He besides Allah, all these idols
that you're worshiping, besides Allah, La Yummly Guna, they do not possess, meaning they do not own,
		

			they do not have the authority lakum for you respawn provision, meaning they do not have the power
to provide you even these idols that you're worshiping. They cannot provide you, you are the ones
who provide them. You are the ones who clothed them who perfume them oil them or put some, you know,
special spices or whatever it is on them, right fragrance on them, or you bring food to them, you
protect them. They don't give you anything. Who is the one who gives you in reality, the one who
made you so far, but the who therefore seek or in the law, he mere Allah, Allah is the provision,
meaning if you really want provision, don't ask these idols who can give you nothing. Ask who the
		

			one who can actually give you wobbu And then worship him also. Because if he is the one who's giving
you Why should you worship anyone else? Wash Carolla who and be grateful to him for everything he's
given you, without you even asking? La he told your own and remember that to him, You shall be
returned. Now many times it happens that people you know they perform prayers they observe religious
worship, why to seek worldly provision? I'm not talking about just Muslims. This is in every
religion that people will generally turn towards religion.
		

			or they will perform religious rituals. Why so that they can get risk, whether that risk is marriage
or money or children or any such thing, right, they turn towards religion for the purpose of getting
that is, they become more religious for the purpose of getting more that is. Now, technically
there's nothing wrong in that for a Muslim in the sense that if he is making dua to Allah, if He is
going for Umrah, he is going for Hajj, right, hoping seeking Allah's reward even in the dunya there
is nothing wrong with that, but it should not be our primary goal. You understand, it should not be
our primary intention.
		

			You see in the Quran, we learned that there is nothing wrong if when you go for Hajj, you also
engage in some business transactions, there is nothing wrong in that, that you buy and sell, make a
profit fulfill your worldly needs. There is nothing wrong with that. But it should never be a
person's
		

			primary intention. All right. Now, this is something we really need to think about. Because
typically what happens, many people think about their salah, or think about reciting the Quran. Many
of us are guilty of that. Think about you know, taking their Deen seriously, when we want something
from Allah,
		

			isn't it? We have an exam the next day, literally 100 records of knuffel.
		

			Seriously, I've heard so many people doing that. I don't know how they do it. You know, praying
eight or 12 or 13 in one night for a young lady is also difficult. I don't know how people do 100
Allah who are dumb in the sense that how do they actually recite 100 record? But anyway, it happens
that for the purpose of worldly gain for the purpose of risk, we become very religious. Right now,
Ibrahim alayhis salam he said to them over here that if you want to risk you should seek risk from
WHO? Allah? Why? Because the one who owns something can give you
		

			part of it, isn't it?
		

			And somebody who's for himself, who's empty handed himself can he give you? No, he cannot. If he had
something you would fulfill his own need, isn't it? So, Allah is the only one who is an Malik and
Malik al Malik. Right, he is the one who owns the heavens and the earth, the resources the store
houses of the heavens and the earth, he is a result. So seek this from Allah, not others besides
Allah seeking provision from others is foolishness. What into Cathy boo. And if you all deny for
God, then in fact, GABA he denied who denied Oman nations min oblique on before you, meaning you
won't be the first ones to deny. Now this idea could be a statement of Ibrahim or the center or it
		

			could be a statement that is mentioned over here. That is addressing the people of Makkah. Okay, and
then it will be understood as Joomla martaba.
		

			parenthetical sentence you understand? So what into Kathy Boo falcoda katha OMA Moolman publikum. If
you deny meaning, if you owe people of Ibrahim or Sinha if you deny or you or people of Makkah, if
you deny, and this is general, people of any time, any place, if a person denies then remember he's
not the first to deny. Why, because for a kuzava Omen publikum and the word omen is the plural of
OMA, many nations, many communities have denied before you, you won't be the first to deny. So if
you deny it's your own loss. It's your own loss. You're not going to cause Allah any harm with your
denial, woman and not Allah Rasul upon the messenger. In Nell Bella will Moo been except clear
		

			notification, meaning the Prophet of Allah is only obligated to convey the message. Ibrahim Arneson
did his job he conveyed the message, every prophet of Allah conveyed clearly. Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam has also conveyed clearly the prophets have fulfilled their responsibilities. Now,
the nation's must fulfill their responsibilities, we must fulfill our responsibility.
		

			The ball is basically in our court. Right? Now. Think about it. If a mother is calling her children
to the dinner table.
		

			She called the children once she called them twice, she called them three times and each time the
tone is getting harsher and more impatient. Then what happens eventually, she says, Fine, don't eat.
		

			Don't eat. I don't care if you're hungry. You don't want to eat don't eat but
		

			I can't keep calling you and waiting for you. Right? What is she going to do? She's going to eat
herself and put the food away. Maybe that's what the kids want. This is why they're not coming. They
don't want that rice again. Alright, so basically the point is that you can't force someone to do
something they don't want to do. You can only tell them you can only make things clear to them.
		

			So the prophets of Allah conveyed the message. Now, it's the people's responsibility. Walmart Allah
Allah SULI il Bella onmobile And look at the word but I will move in Mubin clear meaning the message
is self evident. It's self explanatory, it's not rocket science. It clarifies doubts. It clarifies
misconceptions, it clarifies confusions, the truth is clear from falsehood. I want um, I will um, do
and not meaning Have they not yellow, they have seen meaning Have they not seen have they not
considered? Do they not know this can infer how you will do? He initiates? He begins? Allahu Allah,
Allah Hunka the creation, so Medan you're either who he repeats it, you're either from Errata.
		

			Right? I know that I owed is to return. Right? So have the not considered how Allah begins creation.
And then he repeats it. That first of all, it never existed before. Allah subhanaw taala brought it
into existence. He brought it into existence, he created something the likes of which never, ever
existed. And then when he created it, he didn't just create it once he created it so many, many,
many times. Take the example of Adam or his Santa, before either Melissa and which human being
existed.
		

			No human being in San the first insan was who are the money center? Allah subhanaw taala created
him. But then was Adam the only human being that was created? Know
		

			how Allah repeats the creation, just look at the number of people
		

			that how Allah subhanaw taala doesn't just create something once but he makes it meaning makes its
likes? So many, many, many times. Right? Think about it. A fruit. Okay, strawberry, for example, how
many seeds does it have?
		

			How many seeds are there on a strawberry? So many aren't that now imagine this one strawberry. But
from that so many more can grow one tree? How many mangoes can it produce so many, but from each
mango, so many more mangoes can come, isn't it? So who is the one who has brought these things into
existence, and then he has just scattered them, he's multiplied them. So many that you cannot even
count, you cannot even enumerate you cannot even calculate the number of things of animals of plants
are fruit of vegetables of people, birds that Allah subhanaw taala has created. We cannot even
guesstimate the number of these creatures, K for you, but do Allah who will help us somehow your ADA
		

			who so a thing is born and the process of life, it just keeps repeating itself. It's a continuous
cycle. Right? Just because one person dies, otherwise, and I'm died. That didn't mean that now human
beings will go extinct. You understand? One fruit is eaten, it doesn't mean that that particular
fruit will go extinct. No. Life does not stop with the death of one person. With the death of a
plant with the death of a tree. It doesn't stop life. It continues. It's a continuous cycle. Until
Allah subhanaw taala plans to he decides to put an end to it. In Nevada, Allah Allah He has seen
indeed that for Allah is easy. Your seed from usage? Very easy, simple. It's not difficult for
		

			Allah, he nurtured us here. Right? And he makes us grow like just like plants, you know, they grow.
And then just like plants when they die, before they die. What do we see? The seeds are scattered
everywhere. Right? So just like that, when people die, it's not that human beings will go extinct.
No. They leave behind their seeds, they leave behind their children and from them. More people come
more people come. So what's the lesson over here that think, reflect on your state, who began this
process of creation? Who is making this creation continue who is making this life continue on this
planet?
		

			And the point here is that if Allah repeats the creation before your very eyes, then you think it's
difficult for Allah to cause resurrection because you
		

			Remember, this is a murky Surah right? It's basically teaching us the main principles of faith and
all of them is belief in the hereafter also, into the rule Maya 27 Allah says well who Alevi? Yep
the old Hulka sama your Edo. Well, whoever whenever I lay, it is Allah who begins creation and then
he repeats it and that is even easier for him. Old says see rueful old travel in the land sea route
from Sade Senora Salah Yasuo is to travel. So travel in the land, go through the land, this is
literally literally get out of your house and traveled through the land. Or it could be done another
way is also by learning by reading, right? So traveling the land, follow through, then look okay,
		

			for better ol Hulk, how he has initiated the creation. Observe how Allah began this creation, go to
the east to the west goal in the mountains and the valleys go in the deserts and the forests go by
the shores, and in the seas in the waters, and observe how life begins. Go look at seeds, go look at
baby birds. Go look at baby animals, go look at tiny plants and See look how they grow, how to
survive. If there were their own creators, they would never ever survive. They would never ever be
living. Because think about the difficult circumstances that Allah subhanaw taala makes life
continue.
		

			You know, it's amazing. Just look at baby turtles, how when they come out of their eggs, they come
out of the sand, how they rush towards the water? Is it possible that they'll die before they make
it to the water? Very much possible? Right? Because the birds they know exactly when those turtles
are to hatch, is it? And then so many baby turtles? They're just caught immediately. Once the
turtles make it to the water? Is every turtle able to grow? No, it's quite possible that it'll be
eaten up before it even grows one inch bigger, isn't it? So look at how many dangerous how many
threats there are in this world to life. Just our own existence, even how many things can go wrong?
		

			Seriously, how many things can go wrong? We could literally die within a second. Just one second
think about it if our heart does not beat for literally five seconds. One minute. Hello us. We're
done. Do we have control over our heart? No, we don't. So what's the message of this is go look at
how life exists. How Allah subhanaw taala is making things grow and continue and live on Can they do
it themselves know when you will observe it you will know that someone is making all of this happen
and who is He Allah azza wa jal
		

			Salah calm, you know, I decided to observe like life, my anatomy teacher, she said even like
pregnancy is like an extreme miracle because um, just for the egg to be dropped and to go to the
tubes, like it could have gone a million different ways it could have gone on the intestines and
been fertilized there. And just all the barriers that it has to go through for it to be fertilized
is an extreme miracle. And like, they don't even understand how it could happen so perfectly.
		

			Exactly. And then for the baby to actually grow even that itself is a miracle. It could stop so many
things can go wrong. I mean, you know, women go to the doctor to make sure that everything is fine
as if the doctor is making everything happen.
		

			Right? Sometimes we believe that the doctor is making everything happen, but they're just regulating
it and if something goes wrong, can they fix it? Can they change it? They cannot. They're helpless.
Human beings in general are like very fascinated with if the world would end what would happen so a
lot of all these like apocalyptic movies and books come out. But none of it actually ever happened
in life still continues going on but it's highlighted such a miracle and it makes a lot of people
reflect like, if one diseases take over the whole world this is what would happen and stuff like
that. Yes, just one disease even how quickly it can destroy communities.
		

			Yesterday I was reading about chromosomes, right? So 46 are required for the human and Down Syndrome
I was reading the only access on chromosome number 21 You know, access of rather than having to is
going to have three they have a you know, genetic disorder of Down syndrome. And it was so
horrifying.
		

			I was thinking about when my twins were you know, I was having twins. So all the time my mom says
okay, read Quran read Quran, you know, the the, the Y is gonna be you know, having the same kind of
characteristics of Hana.
		

			So
		

			Fun little cave about the ol hunk, just go and look at how Allah has initiated the creation, how
life continues, it cannot continue itself it would be impossible for it to continue itself. Allah
subhanaw taala is the one who has originated it. He is the one who is nurturing it he is the one who
is making it continue.
		

			There is this BBC series life documentary series life, I recommend that you look it up and watch
even one or two you'll be amazed.
		

			It's amazing that how fish survive, really, how birds survive. How insects survive little little
creatures from the smallest to the largest, how they survive. I mean elephants how much water they
need to drink and how far that water could be. But how they walk all the way there for days and days
and days.
		

			Salam Alikum watching a documentary like that and looking at Allah's creation actually bring you
very close to Allah and like make you who you are you know who you are and Allah Who's Who is he
exactly.
		

			So fundamental cave about the L Hulk some Allah who then Allah Yun Hsihu he will produce you and
shoe same route known Jean Hamza Yun to you in chat is to cause something to grow. So firstly to
produce and then make it grow. So Thalma Allah Who Yun CIO, then Allah will produce a Nash atta, the
creation, okay, the production, that is a laugh era, the last one meaning the final one. And what is
this referring to the Day of Judgment, resurrection? So basically, what we're being taught here is
that when something dies, don't think it goes extinct. When a human being dies, he's not finished.
They don't finish Allah will resurrect the dead in the Lucha or Allah could Alicia encoded indeed
		

			Allah over all things is competent.
		

			All of this, what does it show to us the power of Allah over everything, not just water, not just
the atmosphere, not just soil, not just animals, not just birds, not just plants, every single
thing, Allah is the One who has power over it. Because if he didn't, then you wouldn't be able to
make life happen. So all of this is a testimony to the fact that Allah is the One who can do
anything. He's competent over everything. All power rests with Allah. This is why you are the
Romania Shah, who we are how many Russia he punishes whom He wills, and He has mercy upon whom He
wills. And of course, when Allah punishes somebody, or when Allah shows mercy to somebody that is
		

			based on his justice, that is based on his knowledge, on his wisdom on his decision. And basically
what this is teaching us is that why do you doubt his power? If he is the one who's created
everything, he has spread creatures everywhere, and then when they die, he can recreate them, should
he not have the power to punish whomever he wills and have mercy on whomever he wills, He has the
power, what he lay, he took a boon and to Him you shall be returned to collarbone from call of Lamba
to turn over to Him you shall be turned over you are going back to him You can never run away. Wama
and not unto him you be more Josina at all wants to cause failure. Phil oddly in the earth, one
		

			after summer nor in the sky.
		

			Meaning you are human beings, you can never cause failure to Allah, neither in the earth by running
away somewhere on land, nor in the sky by flying away. You can't do that. When you're alive on this
earth. And when you die your soul is taken up still you cannot run away because when you're alive
and when you're dead, you're still owned by Allah. Woman Allah calm and you do not have men doing
Allah He besides Allah Muhuali King, any friend well and asleep or any helper, you have no widely
known asleep besides Allah, who is really a protecting friend or guardian, someone who defends you
and who is asleep someone who helps you. So there is no one who can defend you from Allah. And there
		

			is no one who can help you escape from Allah. Let's listen to the recitation. Well EBO Hema is
bothering me here Moodle Allaha
