Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim. I mean, all of them are suddenly
Muslim or Varrick. Allah say you didn't know Mohammed endeavor you
are me. While early he was happy, he was worthy, he was a reality
human behavior, he was a janitor who was standard with some of the
alarm within
a hydrogen.
Laser and in the Hurlock
so my my bad.
So I'm delighted we're reading
this class that we have entitled,
The journey as destination, the journey is the destination, the
way of the ID field or the path of the Knowers on the last panel
data. And we began the very beginning by saying that the path
to God is indicated by the knowledge of God knowledge of
Allah subhanaw taala. And that this is not merely a intellectual
acknowledgement type of knowledge of Allah subhanaw taala but one
that is also very much spiritually
grounded within the spiritual heart such as that one does not
find even a single moment of remissness from Allah subhanaw
taala you know what they call in some of the books that is defect.
So if that means being distracted, or your attention being drawn to
something other than a loss, and so many times when people hear us
say things like that they think, does that mean that you're kind of
just sitting in your Zoja or sitting in your house and just
holding the most half an hour Quran and just reading Quran all
day and not really interacting with anybody and living this sort
of monastic sort of life. And that's not what's intended.
The province arson clearly said Lara has an EFL Islam
and the Quran mentioned Sahaba anything after that Khattab
narrative clubs
so there's no don't have any there's no monasticism in Islam
and and the verses in the Quran, from the previous communities and
nations that they innovated this monasticism this was not has
written was not written upon them before this. So they don't have
any or the monasticism or let's call it detachment then or
not to be distracted by the world, by the dunya is something that's
internal. And previous nations communities set up these mana
monasteries, usually in places that were far away from everybody
else far away from civilization,
generally, maybe in a mountain top.
And even you find this to be the case in
maybe Tibetan Buddhism and also in,
you know, my Gnostic strands of Christianity, and as well as
Judaism, that they're far away from everything. And they're quite
difficult to get to, it's supposed to give you a sense of
detachment, physical detachment. So while we may say that the
concept is sound,
but the means is something that the promise was certain he himself
did not really Institute and you find that these were the places
that were set up for spiritual purification in maybe a communal
sense. So whether you call it conifa, or Zoja, or pre bought,
these were different names, depending upon the historical
context by which they developed, which I don't want to go into
right now. But different names really indicate the same thing.
And primarily, you found these places in urban areas, within the
confines of population centers, within cities. And they were
easily accessible, and they were places that people could go to
even to get a communal meal, even though if they weren't part of
this area, or if they weren't part of the people who are residents.
The Zoja
in
the crazy he talks about us have created ally Mubarak also, which
is kind of a historical chronology of Egypt. And in it they say that
the US was the third or the holiest place after the three
holiest places after haram initially thing and national OXA
so they considered it also to be almost like a large Zoja and they
would call the people who would come and even stay temporarily
there, Adam Bucha with right Mooji I want to meet someone who is
taking up Giwa right being
in close proximity, so not even necessarily thought it right.
necessarily still
wouldn't have knowledge. But would you ever because of the marketing
McCann and as we know, as of today is right, right smack in the
middle of Central Cairo. I mean, you can't get more central than
that. So they were never really set up or designed to be the sort
of monasteries far away from everybody. And so the detachment
was supposed to be a internal one.
A spiritual one, not necessarily a physical one, right, everybody
kind of goes off in their own way. So we want to live the monasticism
in our hearts, we want to live the Malefor the lack of distraction
from anything except the last round out in our hearts. So they
sometimes they refer to this state as
an halwa filled Jalwa
and Hello, Phil Jawa. So it's like you're in Hogwarts, like you're in
sort of a spiritual retreat, but you are with in the genuine, you
are with people and you are communicating with people and you
are dealing with people and you are engaging with the world and
you you know, you may have the regular things that everybody else
does, you know, working a job and
attending the masjid and raising your children and so forth. So
the idea then is not to kind of
cast everything aside and so that you can know Allah subhanaw taala
all the tools that you need to really know a lot smarter to know
him and the path is within you, it's there. And Allah smart Allah
has put things specific to you, like specific to me and specific
to you in your particular circumstances. So it's really
about
engaging with your own circumstances and then seeing them
as paths as pathways as signs towards Allah subhanaw taala.
That's why some of them said that the closest path to Allah subhanaw
taala is via your own taba is via your own personal inclination, in
a sense, or I would say personality, right that which is
you find any inclination towards within those things, if you purify
them, then you will find your path to Allah subhanaw taala and
ultimately a greater knowledge of Allah Allah. So, we're still
reading within the section dealing with
the foundational principle of knowing a lot these tend to vary,
most basic sense, which usually is studied in books of theology, or r
theta. And so even though this is generally a work of the soul,
Wolf, it includes the subject matter of r theta as a
prerequisite, right and as something that is essential. In
order to know Allah in a spiritual sense, you have to at least know
him in the most basic cursory sense of what Allah is and what he
is not. Well, many of us will know who woman is to hate or are they
when they as you would write that which is permissible for God and
that which is impossible to conceptualize about Allah and then
obviously, the things that are necessary for our last panel.
So,
we have not reached the part where I think he is more or less done
with the things that are negated about Allah subhanaw taala. And
now he is looking to look at some of the attributes so he says,
First lone, female if at 630 Levita Allah. So this section,
looking at the attributes of Allah subhanaw taala.
For those who who was referred to Kadima have a robust effect on
society and higher to let the learner be here and here he will
I'm waiting here cooler Hi him behind the tea. So here is looking
at what we call the positive attributes. So in before we're
looking at the negative attributes, what are called
negative theology, knowing what Allah is not. So he is
not temporal. So that means he's both Kadeem and Bappi right? So he
is both
beginning lessness or he has this attribute of beginning lessness
and and then ever lastingness, albacore Quidam, one bucket, and
he is Mohan. Howard is, and he is unlike any of the creative beings
so he doesn't take up space, he doesn't have a direction, he
doesn't have size, none of those things apply to Allah subhanaw
taala
he is wide, right. So he is one he is not composite of parts, nor is
he multiple entities, but he is one so indivisible, singular
essence, that we talked about Allah subhanaw taala and then his
attributes are the manner by which we just we understand so the
attributes are not distinct from God, nor are they inseparable from
Allah subhanaw taala but is the manner by which we understand God
understand Allah subhanaw taala so those are the
the negative attributes and I was talking about
The positive attributes and also the last negative attribute is he
is caught in BFC he, right so he is self sufficient, he is not a
need or negating his need for anything else for him to exist.
Now the positive one so you've mentioned here the first one, he
says, well that was different for the mother.
So his essence and his attributes are Kadima, all of them. Right. In
other words, they didn't come to exist in time, they have always
been there as long as Allah has been there, zero water.
And from amongst his attributes is something called at hired or life.
And let the burner behind him here he will M word. Right, this type
of life that is distinct from the here well M wet, so the lives of
lives of things that can have life and death. So Allah's life is a
type of life that knows no death, and will never know any death. So
even though we use the same word high yet and high, right in the
Quran says he will he'll kill you. Right He is the high he is the one
who was alive will kill you, right for you means the ones who gives
life and gives existence and sufficiency to other beings. This
is a human who maintains their existence as well. So ality been
behind and he went and wet. So his life is not like the life of the
things that have life and death, but just pure life. That's how we
understand it to be in a positive sense. So we understand it in
terms of its command, its perfection. And if we thought
about what what's a perfect life, it's one that never ends, right?
It's one that is eternal. It's one that is not affected by age, and
one that is not affected by death. So hence, this is the type of life
we can sort of conceptualize for a while, but even in our
conceptualization of this, it's still going to be deficient. So
this is where the that saying that they talk about and I just wanted
interlocutor rock, right to understand that you cannot
completely understand is understanding. So I understand
that he has the most perfect life and the type of life that is most
complete that even is beyond my ability to fully fathom
so
higher to let the banner behind it what I'm what what I hear Aquila
hiding behind it. Right and so from his life come comes fourth
the lives of all of the things so if there was no life for a law, no
existence for a law, there would be no existence or life for
anything else. women suffer at el contrato ality halacha. We had a
Shia min Lashay from Jah, Judah, 10 Wahala, Fabian Fidelity's 30
Well, urgency, whatever.
And from amongst his attributes is this thing called El Quadra or his
omnipotence. Right, it's called the rise all encompassing ability
to create. So he says, Let the Halacha by which he created a Shia
created things Midland shaped Malachi. And that's really the
definition of creation. So to make something from nothing,
to bring something out of nothing. So even when we talk about today
and human beings in terms of their creativity and how they, you know,
I created this
web page, for example. It's not molest shape. It's not from
something that was nothing. You had the tools that were there, you
had JavaScript and you had domain name. And you had you populated
the web page with pictures and things like that. So it's not from
their sheet. It's not from nothing, but Allah subhanaw taala
what he creates, he creates from nothing, nothing at all, Adam at
the MaHA right, absolute nothingness, then he brings
something this is what we call creation. So the coder of Allah
subhanaw taala. Right. He's Omnipotence then we understand His
omnipotence by seeing that the law is seeing the evidence the clear
proof that he creates by seeing all these things around us that
we're not there of their own volition, nor that they are by any
human means but they can only explanation that remains then is
that Allah Tala created them, he brought them out of non existence
into existence. So from nothingness into something that's
how we can say,
so much Isla mo Judah, right. So he created the things when Lashay
then he made them existent. Right, because you can think there's
different levels of existence, there's an existence in the
knowledge of Allah subhanaw taala. Right, what some of them refer to
as an iron saboteur. So in the knowledge of God, we always
existed, right? Because the knowledge of God is pre eternal.
Remember, he says, here's the federal Kadima. All of his
attributes, including his knowledge is pre eternal, so it's
always been there and always will be there. So that means we were
always there, existing with him the knowledge of Allah subhanaw
taala
And so when he created us there is a type of creation that were in
his knowledge. So much Allah mo Judah, right? Then he gave us gave
it an extra mental existence, so outside of the knowledge of God,
but now in the reality, right, which is this extra mental
existence outside of just a conception of the mind, so much
out there how to do that, then he made us exist, Wahhabi hogarty as
if it were a Jeunesse Word, the Word, and by His omnipotence, he
created the attributes of these things, right. And the engineers,
the species, right, with the wealth and the essences. So,
clearly, we see that there are similarities between the wolf and
the dog and the coyote and
whatever else is in the canine family?
Fox, yes, Fox. So we see the similarities between those things.
halogens, right, it's a type of species and we see the
similarities between them. Allah subhanaw taala, the harlequin
lgnsw. Right, subhanAllah he's saying this even before Darwin,
right before anyone started getting all mixed up with Darwin
and seeing the similarities between creatures, and then
thinking somehow that they had some sort of common ancestor and
then things sort of just evolved or developed on their own
without any code raw behind it, right without any Omnipotence or
creative, intelligent mind behind it, which is something we would
never accept in anything else. I wouldn't accept that the you know,
the, the, the lock or the wheel or the
you know, crack that you see in the sidewalk as you're walking by.
You don't think it just happens by itself, there was some force that
created that, but yet,
somehow we're supposed to accept this idea that these things kind
of just because of out of necessity developed or evolved,
and their own Hola, hola, hola, de Haleakala Jeunesse, he created the
similarities between creatures, he created the feline and the canine
so the canine the wolf, the fox, the coyote, the feline which the
tiger and the lion and leopard and the Panther and domestic cat,
Jaguar, we see the the similarities between these
creatures. And then we say, Oh, they had a common ancestor, or
Allah created the jinns. Right along with Allah, He is the One
who created the similarities between these creatures, as a sign
for us or something for us to reflect upon, as part of the
perfect order of the universe, that Allah subhanaw taala is the
complete author behind, that's another way to look at it. And in
fact, it's less of a leap of faith, I would say, it's more of a
leap of faith, as they would say, to, to accept the idea of
Darwinism and evolution and survival of the fittest and how
these, you know, the, the, the giraffe started out some, you
know, animal that didn't have a long neck, and then it saw that
its fruit was all the way up top. And so after successive gene
mutations, then the only the long ones with the longest neck
survived and so forth. Or you can say, Allah subhanaw taala created
the giraffe exactly that way. So that it would have access to the
food, the plants and so forth that are high up in the trees that only
it can get to.
And so I'd say that's a bigger leap of faith to think about these
sorts of random gene mutations than to say no, there's an
intelligence behind all of this that created this
woman suffer at the heart of it with me unbound nomads well more
than half yet what were they about the net Well, she AMI dot
and from amongst his attributes, His knowledge as we've talked
about, and led the health of each element by which he knows
everything. So everything that can be known that's the best way to
say it. Health of Egypt BGMEA Lumet so anything that can be
known Allah knows it. So that includes those things that are
impossible to be other possible to be that actually exist if they
don't exist. All of this is an all encompassing knowledge of Allah
subhanaw taala. And this includes an immortal half yet things that
we consider to be half year hidden or concealed or sudden or subtle,
while a white belt in it and the interstates of things
well as Shia Allah middle, right, and those things hidden behind
veils, Allah knows all those things, right? And he knows things
that no human can ever know. He knows how many grains of sand are
in the world. He knows how many drops of water there are in all of
the oceans all over the world. An exact number of something no human
being can ever come up with that number. Allah knows those things.
So his again his knowledge then is complete and perfect with a Moto G
I did as we say, and not renewable. It's not renewing
itself. Allah doesn't come to learn
Certain things. So he's not just coming to learn what you're going
to do today, and he didn't know what were you doing what you're
going to do yesterday, he always knew what you're going to do, and
always will know what you're going to do. So this is part of the
perfection, that we say, and completion
command of the society, either here of the divine attributes.
Woman so 30, in order to let the subtle water we have love, and
module that we're at Gerardi has a woman that the earth was a shear
and mother, yet
also his era, His Will the Divine Will, is from amongst his
attributes, the positive attributes, and that he some of us
love and value that by which he has
willed the different categories of existing things. So Allah wills
that this is a plant, this is an animal, this is a rock, this is a
mountain. So we say that the way there are in the knowledge of God
and the will of God and the omnipotence of God, how are they
related? We say that Allah wills, according to that which he knows
will be and will always be, and then the
the omnipotence or the holder of Allah subhanaw taala executes
those things with Iran, right, according to that which He wills,
so there will never be something existent, ever, that will
contravene the will of Allah subhanaw taala or confirm or
contradict the knowledge of Allah subhanaw taala that's impossible.
So when we say about things that are impossible for Allah subhanaw
taala anything ever to exist? That will contradict either his
knowledge, or his will will simply not be will not exist? That means
that something happens I'd love to know about it. Or something
happens and then I lost what I did with it. In other words, he was
powerless to stop it.
Then he's no longer an ILA right. And he's no longer that the divine
supreme being that we don't want to be then he's something else.
So this era, suburbia is love and logic, Algebra it more than that
yet, right and according to it, he then designates those things that
will remain are those things that will be overlap be? Well, I'm the
rd has a shear and Mulder yet, and also for the things that were no
longer are right. That's also part of Allah wills those things. So
you can see that the symbiotic I guess for lack of a better word
relationship between the knowledge and the will intent. And The
Quadra and power are omnipotent, some of us
women suffer at a summer Allah the other Lockerby, Jaime ASWAT was
somewhere behind me and my smart
women suffer till bussola the other Kirby Jermy are Salaat will
follow Toby sutra as little math. What Pallavi fell half yet
and also from amongst his attributes is Saba his hearing. I
let the other rocker behind me is what what some of you must mark
that by which he hears all of the sounds, and all of the things that
can be heard and must more Act. Now in this, the author takes a
slightly different approach than the majority of the amount of
theta or theology even though it's a legitimate one of the opinions
in terms of summer and bustle, the hearing and the seeing of Allah.
So we say that the hearing and seeing of Allah are similar to his
knowledge in that it's super clear Shiva right. It uncovers unveils
those things that can be known.
Then one might say, well, then what's the difference between
Allah's hearing and seeing from just simply his knowledge, and
some of the Parliament of aqidah they said that we simply say that
it is a way by which Allah knows things or no is Knowing of things,
but in a manner different than his and somehow different than his.
That's one approach. The second approach is what the author's
taken here, where he says, at the look of hegemony is what was some
of your visa vie hegemony, and Massmart. So the summer or the
hearing of God is then that particular attribute by which he
hears all things that can be heard. Right, and this is not
limited to just what we can hear with our ears. It's everything
that can be heard. So you can't hear your heartbeats while you're
talking now, but Allah can certainly can hear your heartbeat.
And you may not be able to hear the sound of the ant outside on
the patio, as it's getting its little morsel of food and carrying
it back to its
aunt's house, right? anthill. But a luxotic can hear all of the
those things so
all we need to know to believe them because these are mentioned
in the Quran, right? They second with the sheikh what was some
normalcy? There's nothing like Allahu wa semua and we'll see. So
with some r1 Basa established Allah aspetto LFC he has
acknowledged for himself, these attributes of hearing and seeing
and he's also acknowledged attributes of knowing so we just
know that they are somehow
different in a way whether we believe that it's only if see if
the hearing is seen as restricted to or understood by things that
can be heard. And then the mob Surat the bustle right he said in
severity and possibly the other community we are masala. So by his
seeing, he sees all the things that can be seen. And again, this
is not limited to things we can see with our eyes. Right? He can
see envy in your heart. Right you can see that even though we can't
see that were some Wahhabi etc, a little math
what what we have here so this gives us some indication of that
so that Allah subhanaw taala all the things that can be seen he
sees them even though they can't be seen by human beings. And he
can even
see behind the veil of darkness of Lumads so things we can't see with
our eyes he can see all the time. Well thought out we had a couple
have yet right and also he is aware of and sees the most subtle
of things, the smallest of things the the slight movement of a
single grain of sand and for example of Roberto Holly in the
Empty Quarter desert in the Arabian Peninsula. Allah can see
that or the melting of a single snowflake on top of Mount Everest
that other people can't see right now. So all those things are lost.
The main thing we should know layup Valley shooting with all the
what ifs, as the Quran says, they are fairly shameful and whatever
is nothing escapes him. Nothing that cannot be seen by him and
hurt by him and known by him laughing all the way life is not
on the earth and the heavens are not anywhere in the Universe.
Well, I mean
women suffer to Qlm under the federal law v. And Hollister was
good. What xs the heavy handed call it C Well, I had what are the
371 Mod Murat
so also from his SIFAT and Calam His divine speech and let the fair
club heal Hadassah was so good, right. That which then is distinct
from an Hollis was to quote, so across means them unable to speak.
What's so good or silence? What's another hobby and inequality?
Well, I had right and he is with NSF we've seen this word before he
is
transcends or is beyond an accord his shortcomings while I had and
deficiencies, right if we consider that if someone is unable to speak
any human being as a deficiency, then why would we ascribe such a
thing to Allah subhanaw taala for our youth to kill them, right?
He's not a killer. He communicates with Allah we harness something
when we're bollocks, right and also, that he is to either be on
right he is elevated above assumption with Bharat and to
remain silent or unable to speak and to hold and to moderate and
unable to express things. So, these are human attributes and
Allah subhanaw taala Manasa Hannon called He is beyond all of those.
So in terms of an Kalam How do we understand that and in terms of
for example,
the Quran
so we say in Quran Kalam Allah and Manasa just like an ng ng can have
a lottery winners and that's like the Psalms of David is a vote can
I'm allowing Melissa just like the Torah, Torah to kill amyloid and
unison. So it is the revealed speech of Allah.
So Allah, the attribute is in color, he's always meant to kill
him, right? So when we say is what I can live means he has the
ability to communicate to speak to us and He speaks to us in
different ways. He even speaks to we'll get in at some of the
mentioned right in the middle and you're gonna and you're gonna
you're gonna have gunfire cool and then when you want something to be
he says B and it is so some of them added to those three that we
talked about the knowledge and the will and the
Quadra the power of Allah subhanaw taala that also Qlm is an
effective attribute and effects things. So when he says even the
existence of things, so say something B and then it is gunfire
cool, right? Well we'll get in at Bing Bing and Caffee when noon
that's what they say. All of the beings that are between the calf
and the noon all the beings then Allah scepticism be
And then they were and so just even then that
imaginary space between the calf and the noon and the Arabic
imperative verb, we all became. We all were. So the Qlm is ongoing.
Some of the,
the, the divergent *, they said no Allah, He spoke once he spoke
with the Quran and he's not speaking anymore, then Athleta
that will horse. Then it's like saying he has harasser he has so
good that Allah is unable to speak, he's not able to speak a
lie at the calendar. So Allah still speaks in different ways he
can inspire the hearts of the Iliad, right, he can send
inspiration to your heart into my heart and to others heart is also
a way of communicating and hotter and Rabbani right when you have a
thought, that is beautiful, that is an opening that is an
understanding, certainly Allah subhanaw taala he is the source of
that and we can understand it to be manipulated Seefeld
citadel cannamd from from via the attribute of how we understand him
of speech. So we say the Quran Karim Allah and when the Quran is
Allah has revealed that speech and the Arabic language though is more
deaf. So the language itself is not Kadeem. So the pages like the
words themselves, here the book is small enough that came into
existence, but the words the language indicates Camela enough
see the
uncreated speech of Allah subhanaw taala. So they are the means by
which we understand the uncreated speech of Allah. So this
particular verse, Allah this issue takes many, many pages and books,
I don't want to go too much into it, but all you need to really
know is that the Quran is Kalam Allah, it is the speech of Allah
subhanaw taala and the Qalam of Allah, the speech of Allah is not
limited to just the Quran. There are other ways that Allah speaks
to us, obviously, via the books that we're reading before. And
also he speaks to all of creation, all of the time, including me and
you.
Woman suffer at Al Qaeda mu Allah the Sabbath immediately and merge
with that one to one and milder yet and we already talked about

This is actually a very important part that he said here, I think
it's important that we talked about a little bit.
So we talked about the Buchla he's everlasting and he will remain
after all those things that are gone will be gone. And all those
things that will be extinct will be extinct. Allah will remain
obviously.

While other boo Lisa 101 Allah is this is important when we talk
about Allah is Allah or his wrath
There's anger. It's not like our anger or our wrath, right? It's
not by ease. It's not by. It's not an emotional response. It's not an
emotional impulse. Right? It's not like Louise and Hannah and being
angry in an emotional sense because Allah doesn't have
emotions like we have emotions.
One of the most often Walter we are well heckling the attorney,
right? And none of the things that we describe to human beings.
Right? And it's not about he's upset with us and he feels a
personal affront that we didn't follow his commands. And so he's
punishing us because he feels personally affected by Allah is
never affected by anything we do.
Allah is impossible for him to be affected by anything that we do.
Remember, all of his attributes are immutable, unchangeable. So
how can we think that
we are Hadith wildearth We came into existence he put us into
existence and somehow we can affect his mood, and make him so
angry that he wants to punish us that's not how we understand when
we use the word anger or rage or Hatao, we will never mentalize
pleased. So, he says here with a soul will be the thought by
Natalia, he is not a personality, a personality type that is or can
have moods or a temperament that can be affected and changed by
what we do, or what anybody does find no Homolka does not add in
mainly when for
more contrast to the east and Z right, he is more sacred and
holier than for us to think that he has inclinations or can be
offended. Allah is not offended by us not as inclined or us right as
we think in the in the conventional human sets. Because
those are so fat and that these are the attributes of things that
have been brought into existence that attributes of God.
Or machine atheroma habit to who was also his mushiya that which He
wills and his love is muhabba right when we say you're born with
Buddha, this is mentioned the Quran, Allah loves them and they
love him. So he's muhabba his law has been content rather long than
what other and then you can even have a lot being pleased with us
as being peace with him his Rama, yeah, those who get off my team
inertia is mercy is color here in a light there, your head will sit
in, right he doesn't like them will sit in what a lot of right
and anger was so good wrath. Well, we are here to allow whether your
meaning is wilayah over others taking others into guardianship
and protector of him while they were to write and him making an
enemy out of people like in the Hadith and could see
men as anybody and then to who will help or whoever transgresses
against or hurts or harms or Willie of mine have done to will
have done I have made war permissible upon him. So what did
these things mean? If they don't mean the things that we think that
they mean in terms of taking personal affront or being offended
or inclination or anything like that? He says here were quite
clearly Kulu delicate Roger and Isla era that he he all these
things go back to his era. Remember the stuff that we're
talking about? The attributes, all of these things go back to his
will is intent, but these are different shades of his will of
how he's going to execute them by his Quadra that are used to
describe it. But no way should we think that there is this emotional
component or
male and move forward right? taking offense or being personally
inclined in the personal sense Allah is not like that.
What you know that supertone Minsi, fatty and irata His will is
an attribute from Access attributes which refer to Kadima
zero Maha dasa, and all of his attributes are Kadeem, this is the
essential aspect here. They're all eternal and everlasting always
been there. They are not coming into existence. So how can
something that comes into existence like us, affect God
right and affect an attribute of his that Mr. Heald? Right this is
why we said in the beginning, it's important to know what is
impossible. That's an impossible thing can't be can't be conceived.
If we know Allah subhanaw taala and so you can't know a lot about
that in the spiritual sense, in a deeper profound sense, unless you
know this to very well as a prerequisite.
While I'm in the euro, the likes of Hana Kadima. Know that the
rather, the will of God is Kadeem, right? Always been there
everlasting. No beginning
what Agera wanna hunt equally him, Allah and all of our affairs of
all of the Creation have been according and will be according to
the will of God Lata Radha to be heard you shall however, this
there is no change in the will of God. According to the Hadith,
however, this which means the occurrences or occurrences of the
things that occur or the changes in the things that exist, so you
decided not to pray for Azure today? And you said no, I don't
feel like it and just didn't do it.
Um, that is produced. However, if right, that's something that has
occurred and has been brought in time, that is not going to change
the Iran law. It's not going to affect the Iran either or the
Qudra, or the alien, stuck in effect the knowledge of God or His
Kalam or any of his attributes, because they're all pre eternal.
They're all there for SL. They're all there with Allah and how we
understand Allah subhanaw taala. So you don't affect him like that?
Either. However, the ACARA whoo hoo, hoo, doo doo, by the taqdeer.
Because the Howard is, in other words, those things that came into
existence, their existence came after the decree.
The decree of God is eternal, because that's connected to his
will. So that was always there. So whatever you do right now, you're
not changing Allah. You're not changing his mind about something
you're not affecting him in that sense.
Well, your honor to serve a cartel however this right and the will
proceeded, how about the existence of things because it isn't of
things is only according to His will. So it's impossible that then
the house then can affect the will of Allah when the will of Allah
pre pre existed or preceded the currencies themselves?
For how little geria tune Allah with linearity, a cervical tilt
Kadima, so all of the occurrences all of the things that come to
existence or go out of existence, they all go, and they all follow,
and do not contravene the raga, the will the pre eternal preceding
will Allah subhanaw, taala, and user are the evil oddity with a
tool set, and the last one with Allah, and is more elevated and
Munez. Right, it's more sacred than to think that the,
the the beginning of things as they come into existence, somehow
could have
preceded the will of Allah subhanaw taala. Because if we say,
Oh, I did this thing. So Allah changed his mind. And he did this
other thing.
No, we don't think of it like that a loss, what are his will, has
always been there, and it's pre eternal. And so he is infinitely
capable and aware of all the things that you do, or that you're
going to do. Now, another question that's going to come after all of
this, which is, well, then why do we do anything? If Allah sorta
always knew it, and we can't change his mind about something?
And if we were always destined for this place or that place, then how
is it then that we are taking into account? So how does
accountability?
Is it understood with all of this? And I'll give you the brief answer
to this. And the brief answer is,
Allah knows what you're going to do, but you don't know what you're
going to do. You don't know where you're going, you don't know how
things are going to turn out. And so we're merely following the
Command of Allah subhanaw taala. So him knowing how things are
going to turn out doesn't change the fact that I am given a choice
to choose right this way or that way, or to do or not to do, and in
those things, where I have no choice, or Allah removes the
element of choice for me, because of
I'm compelled by some reason someone is compelling me, or I
have an inability to do it, for whatever reason, then I will not
be held accountable. Right, if I can't pray while I'm standing up,
because I have a debilitating injury that doesn't allow me to
stand that Allah is not gonna take me account for not standing, then
I don't have to stand.
And well, hello, Madonna. And this is how, you know, all the rest of
things are I'm not taking into account for example,
you know, the inner workings of my circulatory system, you know, I'm
not aware of of my CPC, you know, my blood counts, and how many
white blood cells and red blood cells and yes, there are certain
things that can die it and nutrition and fitness and things
like that, and I can try to affect it. But ultimately, it's not
something I have control over. So Allah Allah doesn't encumbered us
and command us to having a certain white blood cell count, or red
blood cell count, or platelet count or whatever it might be, or
heartbeat, or, you know, the digestive enzymes and the level of
production of those things. These are all things that are hidden
from me, and when from you, and they exist within us. And they are
involuntary. We don't have control over them. But the things that I
say,
where I walk to who I look at what I hear, if I choose to actively
listen to something, those are things that I have choice over so
then those are things Allah is going to take me into account.
But at the same time, he knows exactly how things are going to
turn out because if it was when any way other than that, then he
wouldn't be an eater, then he wouldn't be the God and divine
supreme being that we know him to be. So yes, there is this kind of
intellectual aspect to understanding clutter. And there's
also
On a deeper spiritual aspect, right? Because they say there's
something called Sid Elkader. Right? The secret of color. And
so, for some of you, my explanation is, might be a little
bit unsatisfying. And that's, that's okay. There's nothing wrong
with that. In fact, it may be not satisfying to you until you
spiritually taste it, right, the seer of the color or the secret of
the color, so it doesn't mean that color is not understandable. Now,
it's understandable, it's comprehensible. But to understand
it in a deeper sense, just like when we understand Allah in a
deeper sense, and so it has the laity but I need a tougher time.
Well, fundament, Derek, right, so that he doesn't even I'm not even
remiss a moment in my life from Allah subhanaw taala, that I'm
turning away from him. So also, I can reach that level of
understanding of the color of the sphere of the federal law
scorecard. But that will come via a different route. So not via
discursive knowledge like this, like reading in a book and
listening to a teacher, but it's going to be probably not probably,
but likely more experiential in nature, experiential in the sense
of what type of experience spiritual experience.
And that's the most I think we can say about that right now. hamdu
Lillahi Rabbil Alameen. So I'm going to stop here.
