			Our other bIllahi min ash shaytani R rajim Bismillah AR Rahman AR Rahim la flamme meme Alif Lam Meem
Valley Kalki tabula rasa fi This is the Book about which there is no doubt who the little more keen
a guidance for those conscious of Allah and Lavina you may know in a beloved ape who believe in the
unseen way up Munna Salat, established prayer woman Melrose Akane, whom you and feel alone and spend
out of what We have provided for them. While Lavina you may know not be my own Ziller e Lake and who
believe in what has been revealed to you, O Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam one our own Zilla
min Kubelik and what was revealed before you were Bill Herati, whom you pinyon and of the Hereafter,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:02:03
			they are certain hola Iike who didn't miss a beat him? Those are upon right guidance from their
Lord, what will an ICA who will mostly Hone and it is those who are the successful Surah Al Baqarah
begins with amazing letters. Elif Lam Meem these letters are well known letters of the Arabic
language, and here they are recited as more Katara meaning in a disjointed way. You read each letter
separately, because that is how the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught its recitation so you
don't recite it as alum or a Lima or something like that. No, you recite it as Elif lamb and me, and
these letters are known as Hooroo, Makoto, Bharat, the disjointed letters, and they appear only at
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:50
			the beginning of some Surah of the Quran. And these are different letters that come in different
combinations. So for example, sort of the dakara begins with Alif Lam Meem surah. Sod begins with
just solid sort of cloth begins with just cough, you have a live Lam Meem raw, you have how mean?
You have known. So there's different combinations, all right, and different letters that come at the
beginning of some sorrows of the Quran. Now, what do these letters mean? We don't know because the
prophets Allah who already he was salam did not specify a meaning for them. And in the Arabic
language, these letters when they are read in this way, they do not necessarily have a meaning. Now,
		
00:02:50 --> 00:03:37
			much has been said and discussed about their meanings. Some have said that this is you know, names
of Allah or names of the sutras or names of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, or that you
know, these are symbols it's, but this is very dangerous, because this is the Quran and we should
refrain from talking about the Quran, the speech of Allah without knowledge. In surah Aarav Ayah 33
Allah subhanaw taala told us that in namaha, Rama Robbie, that my Lord has forbidden and certain
things are mentioned and the last thing that's mentioned in the idea is that we're under Kulu or
Allah Allah He may Allah Tala moon that you say about Allah what you do not know. So this is
		
00:03:37 --> 00:04:28
			something that Allah has forbidden to us that we say about Allah what we don't know. So to say that
these letters are, you know, a certain code, or that they are the name of something that would be
speaking without knowledge. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us something about these
letters though. And what did he say? He said Mankato, a health fair mean kita biller that whoever
recites a letter A health from the book of Allah, then he receives a good deed and a good deed gets
a 10 fold reword. And he said, I do not say that Alif Lam meme is a health is a letter. But I say
that Elif is a health it's a letter. Well, lamb health, lamb is a letter, meme is a letter. So the
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:59
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us and this hadith that first of all, these are letters,
right? They are hooks, they're not symbols. They're not riddles, they're not codes. They're not
acronyms, no, these are letters. And we learn that even if we don't know their meaning, yes, we
believe in them. And we should know that reciting them is rewardable. And this shows us that the
very recitation of the Quran is rewardable Even if a person does not under
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:48
			send its meaning. Now the thing is that every word every letter of the Quran is purposeful. Because
it is, after all, the speech of Allah wa Mahieu a bill hasn't it's not entertainment, it's not
amusement. This is the speech of Allah. So if there are certain letters in the book of Allah, they
have a purpose. So what are some benefits of hoof Macatawa? While the Roma have listed many
benefits, and these benefits are, for example, that because they appear at the beginning of the
sutra, and they are recited with mud, right, meaning when you say lamb me, right, you're supposed to
make the mud properly six counts. So when you recite it in this way, then what happens is that the
		
00:05:48 --> 00:06:40
			people who may have been distracted, all of a sudden, they become attentive. So one benefit is that
they draw the attention of the listener. Another benefit is that these letters remind us that we are
in need of divine revelation that we don't know something unless we are informed about it, we are
given knowledge about it. Because we can use our brain we can try to come up with different
explanations and different theories about the meaning of these letters. But can we ever claim that
this for sure is the meaning of these letters? No, we can never claimed that. So this is a reminder
that you don't know everything. This is a reminder that humbles us that we are in need of being
		
00:06:40 --> 00:07:34
			taught being told what is truly factual. And these letters they're also a challenge to people that
you know, the Quran is composed of these letters, letters that you are familiar with a live learn
meme raw ha meme mine seen cough. These letters are familiar to you, you use them in your language,
you use them to express yourself, but you can never come up with something that is like the Quran.
So these letters, Elif LAN meme, right at the beginning, as we open up Surah Baqarah we are reminded
of how little we know we are taught about the need of learning, learning divine knowledge, and we
are reminded of the miracle of the Quran, that this is truly a divine scripture that is beyond the
		
00:07:34 --> 00:08:32
			power beyond the ability of people that they can never bring something like this Quran Alif Lam Meem
Valley Kalki, taboo love labor fi who the Lynmouth Ducane This is the Book about which there is no
doubt a guidance for those conscious of Allah that Lika means that now typically the word valleca is
used to point to something that is distant, that is absent All right. And this is the more common
usage of the word valleca that it is ishara Guillain Barre de la. So that he Calcutta means that
book, all right, and Kitab here means book as in revealed scripture. The word Kitab means revealed
scripture. So for example, Allah subhanaw taala revealed the toad dot Allah revealed the Injeel that
		
00:08:32 --> 00:09:21
			he or Zoa JAL revealed, as Abood, and he is the one who has revealed the Quran. So that book that
scripture, and that he goes use because the torah was revealed a long time ago, right? And God was
revealed a long time ago. So that book, yes, it's in a distance, right meaning hundreds of years
ago, 1000s of years ago, so that book loughrea Buffy, there is no doubt in it, that Allah is the One
who revealed it. And Allah is the One who revealed it for people's guidance. So one thing that we
can learn from this is that Allah has sent revelation to guide humanity. The Quran is not the first
book, the Quran is not the first revelation, Allah subhanaw taala has revealed many scriptures
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:59
			before, but what was the purpose of those scriptures? Who then Lynmouth the cane, they were for the
purpose of guidance. Now, going back to the Malika remember I told you that typically the word is
used to refer to something that is distant that is far. Now sometimes the word valleca is also used
to point to something that is near that is present, right and ishara it'll carry will help what is
near and present, which is why you will see in the running translation it says, this is the book
right? Now I told you that valley car actually means that but sometimes
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:59
			to remember that it's also used to point to something that is near. But why is this word being used
to point to something that is near, because the purpose over here is to show respect to the object,
that valley, Calcutta, that great book, that great book, and this now is referring to the Quran,
that, that he calculated this great book which is exalted which is supreme, which is so glorious,
that is before you that you are listening to the Quran which the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam is
reciting to you. This book is truly the book that he can look it up. This is the book. This is the
great, noble, glorious, Rosie's book. And when you know people speak like this in Arabic, so for
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:54
			example, if someone says her the fairies right there Likkle fairies, meaning this is the best one,
this is the best writer, meaning every other writer besides him can never match hands down the best,
so that he can keytab this book, this is it. This is the best book, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam would say on the member in the halal Hadith, the Kitab Allah, that the best speech is the
speech of Allah. So, you understand the two meanings of radical Kitab that book and also this book,
or that is the book or that book, there are so many beautiful ways of understanding this. Now, this
book book, whether it is referring to the Quran, or that book, scripture, meaning, the scriptures
		
00:11:54 --> 00:12:43
			that Allah has revealed, there is such that love life, there is no doubt any absolutely no doubt
that this is the book that Allah has revealed. Without doubt, this is the book of Allah. This is the
book that gives knowledge which no other book can and it contains nothing doubtful. Rather, it
contains or emolia pin factual, certain knowledge which removes doubt. And it is a guidance for what
to clean for people of Taqwa because you cannot benefit from something unless and until you have
conviction in it. If you have doubt about it, then you cannot benefit from it. Because how can you
follow something that you're not sure about? It's not possible. So loughrea Buffy who the Lynmouth
		
00:12:43 --> 00:13:31
			again, now, if you look at the IR you can see dots right after the word labor, three dots, and then
right after the word fie again, three dots, you see those dots? Now these dots are not to, you know,
beautify the text, there's a function for these dots. These dots show us that basically, there's two
ways that we can recite this aisle. All right, how can we recite this if we can recite it first of
all, as their early Kalki tabular * fee hood a little more tucking that we pause after loudly?
And the second way of reciting it is that valley colicky tabula rasa fi pause and then who then will
move the cane. So let's look at the first way of reciting it. Okay because that remember punctuation
		
00:13:31 --> 00:14:28
			that tells you how to understand the sentence. So let's look at the first way Valley Kalki tabula
Raber Fie, who the limit 13 What does this mean? This means that book meaning scripture that Allah
revealed or this book meaning the Quran Lowri there is absolutely no doubt meaning undoubted
undoubtedly. It is such that fi who the Lynmouth Ducane in it is guidance for the motorcade. So,
that book meeting scripture, there is absolutely no doubt meaning undoubtedly is from Allah and
Phoebe who the Lynmouth Ducane in it is guidance for the Mukhin. Then the second way that we recite
it, we pause after fee so that you could double our labor fee that this book meaning the Quran, or
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:59
			that scripture, it is such that a loud Rebbe fee there is no doubt in it and be who the little more
13 Eight is guidance for metalcon. So, this is the book, there is no doubt that it is guidance for
the moutain or this is the book in which is no doubt it is guidance for the motor cane. So yes, the
word Kitab is referring to both it's referring to the Quran.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:46
			And then it's also referring to scripture in general. And that's exactly what I was going to explain
to you right now it's the word key tab. This is from the verb Qatada kettlebell literally means to
draw together or to bring together and it also means to write because when you're writing you are
bringing together your thoughts you are bringing together letters and words. So Kitab is that which
is written, okay. Kitab that which is written. So the word Kitab applies to a book. It applies to a
document a paper. Also it applies to a written mandate. And in Quran, the word Kitab is used to
refer to the Quran. In other places the word Kitab refers to Scripture, any divine revelation, the
		
00:15:46 --> 00:16:30
			books that Allah has revealed, sometimes we see that the word is means writing, and sometimes it
also means Hukum, or decree. So depending on the context, we understand the meaning of the word
kitab. Here both of the meanings are applicable, meaning the Quran and also scripture, so that you
can Kitab la Riva. Raber means doubt. And basically, * is a kind of a doubt, that causes you to
feel very disturbed that agitates the mind. And you will notice that as long as you are doubtful,
you're uncomfortable. So for example, if you're not sure whether you put salt in the food or not,
you're not going to be settled until you can actually taste the food and relieve yourself of that
		
00:16:30 --> 00:17:27
			doubt. So doubt is something that creates disturbance and agitation. Right? And doubt is the
opposite of fact, fact. What does it do? It brings you confidence and doubt takes your confidence
away. Now, labor as I told you before, it means there is no doubt at all or undoubtedly, so we are
being told over here, that we should not have any doubt in the scripture or in the Quran. Because
doubt and the book of Allah do not go together. So there is no doubt that Allah revealed books for
guidance of people. And there is no doubt in the Quran, meaning the Quran is very clear. It is
factual in its news. It has no doubts in its information, because women are still coming Allah He
		
00:17:27 --> 00:18:13
			killer who could be more truthful than Allah in speech. In truth. Firstly, that verse 42, we learned
law yet the T hillbrow, three domain benei that you will have in config, that there is absolutely no
falsehood in the Quran, right? It's free of any falsehood. And then there is no doubt about this
book, meaning about its truthfulness about its origin. That truly this book has been revealed by
Allah there is no doubt about that. And there is no doubt that this book is guidance for the Mukhin
meaning this book is certainly a source of guidance. So if a person has come seeking guidance, they
will find it in the Quran. So right at the beginning, we're being told, remove any doubt that you
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:59
			may have. There is no doubt about the origin of this book about the correctness of this book, in the
fact that Allah has sent revelation in the fact that this book is for the purpose of guidance. So
loud, Reba Feiyue, the limiter clean or loughrea, Buffy who the Lynmouth Ducane. Now whether we
learned earlier it is guidance. And remember that guidance is of two types. It is Hidayah is shad,
which is when Allah subhanaw taala gives knowledge to people, so they know what is right, what is
wrong, which way they're supposed to take which direction they're supposed to go in. And the second
type of hedaya is of Tofik that a person is able to act upon it. Now the Quran is Hooda meaning it's
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:50
			both it offers knowledge and it also shows us how we should act upon it. And we see that the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam didn't just recite and teach the Quran the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam also taught us how to live the Quran. So the Quran is supposed to be a guide, not just
information and knowledge because kind of halacha will Quran he was an embodiment of the Quran. So
if we want to know how to live in the way that Allah subhanaw taala is pleased with them we have to
look at the Quran. If we want to know what is right what is wrong, we have to look at the Quran
because the Quran is Hooda but it is Hooda for who lil Mata teen for those who have Dakhla. Now who
		
00:19:50 --> 00:20:00
			are the clean water clean por la mata ki I mentioned this earlier. Look, the key is the person who
has the club. Now when we look at the word what the key
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:56
			The verb is Ithaca in the commons, that he preserved himself extraordinarily meaning a person,
guarded himself, shielded himself protected himself exceedingly and he did his best to save himself.
But how? By putting a barrier between himself and what he was trying to avoid. So for example, it
has said it the Pilbara it's cold outside, so it the Pilbara safeguard yourself from the cold? How
would you do that? You would safeguard yourself from the cold *, by freaking out by screaming No,
you're going to do that by putting a barrier between yourself in the cold, right? And what is that
barrier going to be? Your warm clothes, your jacket, right in the middle of a rock, be aware of
		
00:20:56 --> 00:21:44
			drowning? What does that mean? That put a shield between yourself and drowning if you know how to
swim only then enter the water if you don't know how to swim, then put on a life jacket and don't
come near the water. So the concept of Ithaca is that you are guarding yourself. But you're guarding
yourself how? By putting a shield between yourself and what is dangerous. What is harmful for you.
Now who are then with the pin? What are they guarding themselves from? What are they protecting
themselves from? From Hellfire from a bad end from the displeasure of Allah? How do you guard
yourself from falling into the fire? You guard yourself by staying away from sins. That's the first
		
00:21:44 --> 00:22:28
			thing you have to do. So make sure you get this down. The Taqwa includes what first of all, avoiding
sins, that when you know that there is something that Allah does not like that Allah has clearly
forbidden, then you don't do it. You stay away from it. That's a rule that you make for yourself.
Secondly, part of Taqwa is that you do not leave what Allah has commanded you to do. Right? Meaning
you do what you're supposed to you don't leave it. So Taqwa includes both things, avoiding sins, and
secondly, doing what is required. So for example, when a person prays salah, what are they doing?
They're guarding themselves. When a person says lair, ilaha illa. Allah, they are shielding
		
00:22:28 --> 00:23:16
			themselves from hellfire. When a person speaks the truth, when a person guards their tongue, they
are shielding themselves guarding themselves from the fire, when a person has an opportunity to do
something wrong, but they don't do it commit a sin but they don't commit it. What are they doing?
They're saving themselves. So remember that when we abide by the laws that Allah subhanaw taala has
given us we're not doing anyone else a favor. We're doing ourselves a favor. We're saving ourselves.
So this is a Book about which there is no doubt it is a guidance for who for those who are conscious
of Allah. Now the question is, isn't the Quran supposed to be a guidance for all people? Because you
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:34
			know, in the Quran, we learned that it is who then leanness and circle Bacala verse 185, we learned
that the Quran is a guidance for all people. Here we learn it is Hudlin Mata clean. So how does that
work? If the Quran is supposed to be guidance for all people, how come the moutain have been singled
out over here?
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:43
			You see, the Quran offers both types of hedaya he they are off ban is shot and also he died off.
		
00:23:45 --> 00:24:32
			Right? That you learn it, you follow it? The Quran offers both. Now some people they don't bother to
learn it, they don't bother to follow it. They don't you know, live by it. So yes, the Quran offers
them knowledge, but they do not benefit from the Quran. In surah surah 82 Allah subhanaw taala says
when Nunes illuminant Qurani Mahua she found on warahmatu little more meaning that the Quran is a
healing and a mercy for those who believe because the person who believes in the Quran, that is a
person who will benefit from it. The person who wants to safeguard himself the person who wants to
save himself, he is the one she is the one who will benefit from the Quran. The person who will
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:59
			follow the guidance of the Quran is the one who will benefit from its guidance. This is like you
know, if there is a medication, one person comes and takes it and another person comes and leaves
it. So the person who takes it, that medication becomes a source of healing for them and the person
who leaves it, then that medication is not healing for them in spiritual and fall. I are 29 We learn
Yeah, are you here ladina Avenue
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:47
			In Tatacoa, yadgir Allah confer Cana or you who have believed if you have Taqwa of Allah, Allah will
give you a criterion. Allah will give you the ability to tell between right and wrong to recognize
what is okay what is not. Okay? So this shows us that the people who actually try to save themselves
who actually try to protect themselves, then they're the ones who truly benefit from the verses of
Allah. The Quran guides them to sort out almost the pain. The Quran guides them along. Serato Musa
team. So who are the motor pain? How do they shield themselves? How are they guarding themselves?
How does a person become a monkey? Let's look at the traits of the motor clean. Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:25:47 --> 00:26:35
			told us a Lavina you may know Nabil, hi, there are those who believe in the unseen when you came on
Asana. Secondly, they established the salah, thirdly women noddles Akane, who knew and gone and they
spend out of what We have provided for them. You see over here in this verse, the qualities of the
Moroccan are of what kind, they are related to belief. They believe in the unseen. And their
qualities are also related to actions. They also do something, what do they do? They perform the
salah, they establish prayer, they give charity. So a mood. Ducky is not just person who has a lot
of fear in his heart, or a person who just sits and cries all day, a mood. The key is a person who
		
00:26:35 --> 00:27:22
			lives in the world who engages with people. But no matter what they're doing, they're conscious of
Allah, in their heart is strong faith, and their actions show that they're conscious of Allah. Now
let's look at the first quality. And Medina you may know or believe those who believe in the unseen
you may know now, I mentioned this to you earlier, this is from Iman, you may know those who believe
meaning those who have Iman, what is Iman, Iman is faith. Right. Now Eman is described as the sleek
meaning to confirm the truthfulness of something to believe that something is true. All right. Now,
where's that belief? It is, of course in the heart. But if a person truly believes in something, is
		
00:27:22 --> 00:28:00
			that evident in their behavior in their choices? Absolutely it is. So for example, if a person
believes that we are living in a pandemic, then what are they going to do, they're going to be
careful about, you know, going out of the house, they're going to be careful about not touching
things. And if they do end up touching something, they're going to clean their hands, right, they're
not going to be socializing. But if a person does not believe that this is a pandemic, they think,
Oh, it's just a conspiracy. This is just, you know, certain people trying to take over the world and
control our lives. And you know, this is just a plan, then what's going to happen? They're not going
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:48
			to take this matter seriously. And they're going to put themselves in danger, and they're going to
put other people in danger. Right. So the thing is that when you believe in something, that belief
is evidence on what on your actions on your external. So Eman is not just about believing Eman
includes action. Remember this. Eman includes action, which is why we see in the qualities of the
moutain that there is Iman. And then right after that there is action, there's worship, they pray
salah. Now when it comes to Iman, what do they believe in, they believe been high up in the unseen.
Now what is high labor is basically what is hidden. Okay, labor is something that we cannot observe
		
00:28:48 --> 00:29:36
			directly, which means that we cannot see it with our eyes, we cannot hear it with our ears, we
cannot see it, we cannot measure it, but we know that it's there. So everything that is hidden is
called light. It's that which is unperceivable. It's absent from the human range, you can say it's
beyond our perception. And there are two types of labor. Okay? One type of labor is that which is
relative meaning it's hidden from some people, but not others. So for example, angels, they are in
the unseen from us, we do not see angels, but when Gibreel would bring revelation to the Prophet
sallallahu Erny who said that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam would see angels up, right? You know,
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:59
			certain animals can perceive certain sounds, which we can't, they can see in the dark, which we are
not able to do. Now there's also absolute leap. The second type of laborers that which is absolute
which none can see or none can perceive except Allah or soldier. So for example, when is the Day of
Judgment going to happen? This is something that only
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:42
			The Allah knows about. So you may know Nabil Hi Youtube Eman belied means that we believe in all of
the unseen. We believe in everything that Allah has informed us off, that his messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam has informed us off, whether we can see it or we cannot, whether we can hear it or
we cannot. And secondly, amen believe also includes believing in the news that Allah subhanaw taala
has given whether this news is of the past or of the future, like for example, the coming of the day
of judgment or of the past the creation of Adam or his sunnah. So this is something that Allah has
informed us. So we believe in that, you know, and I believe when Jabril asked the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:30:42 --> 00:31:10
			alayhi wa sallam that what is Iman tell me about Eman? He said Eman is that you believe in Allah.
And we have not seen Allah. You believe in His angels. We don't see the angels. You believe in his
books that Allah has revealed these books. You believe in His messengers, you believe in the last
day you believe in divine decree? All of this is part of Eman. So remember Eman is about believing
in the unseen.
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:58
			But now there is a question. How can a person believe in what they have not seen? If you think about
it as a Muslim, most of our Eman all of it is about what believing in the unseen. So how can a
person believe in something that they cannot see themselves? You know, are you just supposed to
follow blindly or like what's going on? Because, you know, we're taught to use our reason. You know,
we don't just accept any thing that is said and heard. So how is it that our iman is based upon
believing in the unseen? Well, there's a number of ways The first thing is that you can believe in
something that you have not seen yourself, when you are informed about it by someone who is reliable
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:47
			and truthful, someone who is dependable. Okay. So for example, going back to the pandemic, the
example of the virus, you are not seeing it with your own eyes, you may not have witnessed its
devastating effects on a person's health and life, you may not have the law protect you, your
family, your acquaintances, you know, you may not have witnessed it, you may never have studied in a
lab, you may never have, you know, learn about what viruses are, how they spread, how they infect
the body, how they pass from person to person, you may not understand why when it comes to testing
someone for the virus, why do they have to, you know, take a swab from the nose, basically, a nasal
		
00:32:47 --> 00:33:33
			swab, like why you don't know, but you trust the health experts. You trust the doctors, you know
that these are people who know what they're talking about, who have spent their lives studying these
things? Who with their research, you know, they have established certain things so you trust the
experts. When you have a problem? You know, with your health. You don't go to the doctor and debate
with the doctor. Well, you know what, prove it to me. I don't trust you prove it to me. No, you
accept the Word of the of the doctor. Yes, you can take a second opinion, a third opinion. But the
point is that you as a person cannot know about everything. And if you think that you should know
		
00:33:33 --> 00:34:23
			everything firsthand, that's a little arrogant. And if you belittle others who are experts in their
fields, then that is also very arrogant. So as a human being you understand that you have certain
limitations. So while you are conscious about where you're getting your information from, you know
that if your information is coming from a reliable source, you will accept it. So when it comes to
Eman, inlaid Eman in the unseen, who is our source, who is that reliable source, it is the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam whose truthfulness was established even before he became a prophet. And
that's well known. He was sodic must do. He was Sadek, and he was Amin. And then another reason why
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:59
			you would believe in something that you have not seen, or what you cannot see is because you know
that it's there, you know that it's real, because it's signs exist. And through those signs, you can
infer that it is real. So for example, in psychological research, when a researcher wants to study
something that cannot be directly observed, like for example, a person's level of happiness, how do
you measure it? Is there a thermometer? Is there a measuring tape that you can use? Is there like a
physical lab test that you can do to
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:51
			measure their level of happiness know, what you will do is that you will recognize the outward
manifestations off happiness. So for example, how often does a person smile? So these
manifestations, what are they they're like clues, they provide clues to us about the existence of
the hidden variable, the thing that we want to observe, we want to measure but we cannot directly
measure. So Allah subhanaw taala, has created many signs in the universe, that prove to us that the
labor exists. Allah subhanaw taala has put within us, you know, certain systems or certain thoughts
or certain ideas that, you know, constantly make us wonder and think about where we have come from
		
00:35:51 --> 00:36:39
			and where are we going? You know, for example, when it comes to the real judgment, how do we know
it's real? Well, the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam has informed us about it, it's mentioned in the
Quran. But there is another manifestation of it that we see every year, multiple times. And that is
that when the ground when the Earth has become dead over the course of the winter, it's become
lifeless, right? You look at the tree, it looks dead. There's nothing green on it. It's outside in
minus 20 minus 30. And you're like it's finished. But then once the weather changes, springtime
comes along, you see it coming to life. So what is this an evidence of that if Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:36:39 --> 00:37:28
			can cause these trees to come back to life year after year, he can also cause human beings to be
resurrected. So we believe in the unseen, not because we can rationalize it, not because we can
perceive it. We believe in the unseen because Allah has informed us of it. His Messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam has informed us of it. And a MacDuffie first and foremost believes in the unseen
and this belief. What does it do? It saves the motor. It shields the motor. How? Because if you only
believe in what you can see yourself, you're putting yourself in danger. So for example, if you said
I don't believe in Coronavirus, prove it to me, I want to see the virus. I want to see those virus
		
00:37:28 --> 00:38:03
			bugs, right? If they're on my hands, then I'll wash my hands. If they're not, I'm not going to wash
my hands. While you're making a fool of yourself. You have to be humble over here and trust the
experts. And Alif Lam mean reminds us that we don't know everything. We cannot know everything. Our
observation is limited. Our reach is limited and this is why we trust a greater source. We trust a
reliable source because if we don't do that we're putting ourselves in danger. So and levena You may
know Nabil Hi they believe in the unseen
