or there is a discussion in the room of the Quran that referred to
the bat and why the burdens, if you will of Revelation. And we
know this was something difficult for Prophet sallallahu Sallam to
bear, and that how could it be otherwise? When is coming from
Allah Jalla Jalla and whatnot to read a lot of the strings and our
Prophet sallallahu sallam, he would not have been able to bear
revelation. And were he not to have been able to bear revelation.
You and I again would not have access to it. We should think
about versus and the end of sort of that hotshot. No and then her
the Quran, Allah Jebel Ali too harsh and Sunday and how Silla
that were we to have revealed this court earn that to a mountain is
that you would have seen it, that full of fear, and split asunder
from the Hashem of Allah, harsh and mortal Sudan has Silla, a
thought that is a crack something harsh and mortal Sunday, and that
is split asunder, and so pulverized. From the power of the
Quran, is that a mountain which we normally think of as something
stable, and something strong, as it would have been obliterated
from the power of Revelation, in other words, is at the heart of
our profits on July 7, is much, much, much stronger than all of
these metaphors of things that we usually use them to that speak
about strength, the heart of the Prophet was stronger, he was able
to bear that revelation, and then convey it to us. And this is why
the Companions used to know when the Prophet was receiving
revelation because he would see the changes on him. And we have
narrations indicate when he was on a camel, for instance, online send
him that that camel would kneel down. And that one time he was on
the lap of senior Bakr, Siddiq, and it became extremely heavy, and
there was times where the prophesy send them that would sweat even if
it was in winter, there was an impact that receiving this
revelation heard upon him, sold it on your side beside them.
And then, when we understand the greatness of Revelation, every
verse of the Quran, every that verse, not only verse, but even
word of the Quran, we understand has great meaning is that it came
to our prophesy center in exactly the way that our Lord wanted it
to. And it was perfectly conveyed. And that perfectly received and
then perfectly conveyed in Humpty law over 1400 years later, is that
we still have access to the meanings of Revelation. And even
though our province I sent him was the quintessential that example,
part axelos of a walking Quran, is that through his inheritors is
that they are the closest approximation. And then there's
different degrees, but still, to this day, there are complete
inheritors of the prophesy seven. And then there are those that even
reach a higher degree of being complete, whereby which that our
connection to them, that helps us have access to these meanings. And
Allah subhanaw taala his book, and that's one way of access the other
way is through that the Tafseer literature and learning everything
that is that we need to know in all of the prerequisites so that
we can understand Allah subhanaw taala his book, our attempt here
is just to very, very, very briefly in a very basic way start
to touch the surface, some of the most basic meanings, and that's
what we're trying to focus on. Then in that regard that we have
reached.
The 12th verse
after I looked at assess was so an ally him and him and I'm talking
about, you know, whether you want them or not, it is the same to
them. They do not believe. And we spoke a little bit about that
verse in them entendido minute Deborah zakra or Harsha Rahman AB
Furbish Shira will be macfeather 10 mentioned in Killeen, you can
only warn those who follow the reminder in fear the All Merciful
in the unseen to him very good news of forgiveness and a generous
reward. And then that Allah to Allah says in the 12th verse in an
interview in Mota when Aktobe uma demo I thought her home, L'Aquila
shaitan seen her feet in Miami movie truly we give life to the
dead in record that which they have sent forth and that which
they have left behind. And we have accounted for everything in an
email them and will been transmitted here as a clear
registry.
So the majority of today will be spent on that this verse. So this
verse follows up on the council to the prophesy center
Is that he has to convey the message. And that when he conveys
the message in warns his people, this is all that is that he can
do. And that we know that the result of conveying that message,
which comprises this process of warning and giving I'm glad
tidings is that ultimately the consequences of that will play out
in the next world.
And so now a lot to add to that begins, that in this verse speaks
of this idea of giving life to the dead in the Nathanael nucleon
motor, truly, we give life to the dead. So that there's a transition
now to speak of what are the results of that the way that we
respond to the prophetic call to the prophetic message, whether we
believe or we disbelieve, and what's going to happen to the
individual after this. And that also, is that this indicates to us
as it when we speak about this idea of warning, and we speak
about this idea of giving God tidings is that Allah Tada that
will follow this up with mentioning some of the
foundational affairs that pertain to the solid Imani the foundations
of our faith.
And so that when Allah says in an F, no, no, he and Mota, truly, we
give life to the dead. There are a number of possible meanings for
this. So just very quickly, the motor are the dead in the plural,
and that ye is to bring to life. So we give life to the dead. And
there are different types of people that can all be considered
to be dead. And first and foremost, this is a reference to
the resurrection.
The after Allah to Anna, that will cause the first Oren to blow and
all souls will be taken. And then there's a 40 year period, and then
the horn will be blown a second time and then everyone will be
raised out of their graves and they will be driven to the plane
of judgment. And so the resurrection belongs to Allah is
that those who are deceased is it Allah to Allah will give them
life, he will bring them back to life subhanho data, and that when
we spoke about the school suited Imani are these foundations of
faith is that they say well suited Eman for data. There are three
foundations of Eman. The first is Tauheed in belief and the Oneness
of Allah, which includes a long list of attributes, His existence
of course, and then everything else that we attribute to Him
Subhana wa Tada Soto he belief in Allah and everything else that
that includes, and then Andre salah. That everything that
pertains to the messengers recited here messenger ship.
And then hacer, which is the gathering literally, but in
relation to everything that's going to happen. And the next
world in so as one of my teachers once taught me
is that when we talk about the science of Tawheed, or animal
kingdom, or Arcada, roughly loosely translated as theology.
What we are really discussing is Allah Jalaja Adam, that really is
the subject matter. And the Tre if the definition of the science
changed over time.
But in reality, everything that you are studying, that when you
study up either you're studying that Allah subhanaw taala, either
his essence, his attributes or his actions. So he says that he'll see
fat, or his.
And so obviously, the first two is his essence and his C fat. This is
normally what we think of when we think of theology.
But then, the reason that we speak also about the the acts of God, is
that the two greatest acts of Allah Akbar, he's sending of
messengers, and that everything that's going to happen, that
towards the end of time and then after that, we are we die in a
resurrected, so the resurrection. So in other words, is it his
sending prophets and that the day of judgment, everything that
follows are the two greatest acts of Allah, genuine gelato and thus,
they had become their own
chapters, if you will, or they are part of that tripartite breakdown
of the science of Arcada Is it such that you study that which
pertains to Allah, you study that which pertains to the messengers,
and then you study that the semi yet that the eschatological events
in so that the first
meaning of in Nephin Mota that we give life to the dead, it's a
reference to the resurrection.
And the second meaning is the idea of Allah to have adequate to other
bringing the earth back to life. Allah to Allah says, Allah and
Allah efe at all order to motiva know that Allah gives life to the
earth after causing it to die, but be in
contact with him. We've clarified to you the signs so that you can
understand.
And then we have other meanings, as well. One of them is is that
bringing people from idolatry to faith, bring people from
disobedience to obedience, bringing people from the depths of
kofod to the light of faith, and that we know that Allah to Allah
says in sort of an arm in the form of a question, a woman kind of
meeting that hey, know what you're another who knows, and yet she be
the nurse command method of at least 100 And then her because
Eddie gazini little caffeine in Americana, yeah, my room, which
translates is a dead person, brought back to life by us in
given light with which to walk among people comparable to someone
trapped in deep darkness who cannot escape. In this way, the
evil deeds of the disbelievers are made to seem alluring to them. So
there are some people that are dead, their meat for a no but then
Allah Jalla Gerardo, he brings them back to life. And anyone who
has tasted the sweetness of face, After tasting the bitterness of
cocoa of disbelief, knows that something of this meaning has
experienced intimately something of this meaningless various
degrees. But anyone who does not truly believe in what should be
believed in innocence is dead. And even though that they actually
have life, in reality, that they're done. And so there are
certain people that Allah Allah will bring them back to life. And
then when you compare the state of these two Subhan, Allah is a dead
person brought back to life by us and given light with which to walk
among people. And they notice here is that the light that comes to
your heart, and leads to that state of injera, and that state of
the hearts expansion, is that notice here Allah, Allah says,
fineness. In here, the particle fee in
connotes this idea of light spreading.
So Allah to Allah says, William sheepy, fineness, EMTB fineness,
and that too, with which to walk among people. But it's as if that
light is also that fineness going into people, as a result of what
is the state of heart. And for this reason is that the very
foundation of all other foundations, when we talk about
data or sharing our face, is our own state, and how we carry
ourselves forward to shape loyalty. If you don't have
something, you can't give something. But if you live in the
reality of that face, and you have light in the heart, this is the
number one thing of all, that affects other people, is your own
state of heart. And when you accompany that, with good
character, and good interactions, and that good intentions, and all
of these other things you're supposed to do, is that you will
maximize that your potential impact upon other people.
And that if you think about this, what Allah is saying here is that
this is for the person who is steeped in darkness, and they
can't escape. Reality is that this is the reality of the internal
mindset of the state of California. Is it even though on
one hand is that someone thinks that there's some type of freedom
and people are doing whatever it is that they're doing? But the
reality is that there is emptiness and there is darkness? And
sometimes you don't realize that the state you're in until did you
experience something else? So the second, the another meaning the
third meaning of this verse in Nothing New nothing Mota is
bringing people from disbelief into belief. Being closely related
to that is yet another meaning, which relates to the reviving of
the heart, that from that, heedlessness to wakefulness, from
ignorance, to knowledge, so this is yet another meaning. And this
isn't mentioned in the Tafseer of even Jeeva. Any quoting medical
Sherry, is that bringing the dead hearts that are heedless to life,
that with knowledge, and bringing the dead hearts that are dead
through ignorance to life, through that knowledge
Which, and so forth through physical flow through wakefulness,
in General Ignorance through knowledge. And, as one of the poet
said, Is it awkward? How you hardly do that demo TV was
originally made and what we're Mershon other thorough is that the
person of knowledge will remain that known and alive even after he
dies, because people are always mentioning his name, whereas that
the person of ignorance is as if that they're dead, and they're
walking that on the Earth still.
And so this is the next meeting, is that bringing the heart to
life. And as the miracle shady says is that parts that have
customer hardness, Allah to Allah can make them fertile, and bring
them to life such that goes, and that these are hearts is set out
on a path to Allah, gender gelato. So in an effort, no, no Yes or no
time. Truly, We give life to the dead in all of those meanings. And
this is why when you understand that a lot is the monkey, and he
is the meat subhanaw taala is in in every gathering, when we come
together and all of the different acts of worship that we do is that
we hope that Allah to Allah through them will bring our hearts
to life. And it will experience what it means to truly live. And
that, as they have said that a true life is always going to be
connected to your heart. It's always going to be connected to
the love of Allah, in love with the Messenger of Allah, in love of
the righteous in love of what Allah Allah loves, in love of what
the messenger of Allah loves. This is why they say that Aisha Elijah
Muhammad, being Irish is another word we use for life. Just as
higher, there is no true life except the life of lovers. Because
of what they experience, from the beauty of everything is that they
do. And think about if you could just bring love into your life,
when it comes to fasting, we're in this blessed month of Ramadan. Is
it someone that fast out of love? Isn't that there's someone who
first because
if I don't, first I'm going to get beat. If I don't ask, I'm going to
get yelled at. If I don't fast that I'm going to get punished.
Right? At least someone who's still fasting, okay, but someone
who wants to fast, someone who finds it easy to leave for a very
short period of time, things that are beloved to the lower self, for
the sake of Allah Jalla, gelato and a love and hubba? And how
could it be really any other way, when you really think about it?
What is the whole purpose of fasting?
I think we already spoke about this, Allah doesn't benefit from
our first date. We're the ones that benefit.
So it's not just about doing the fast, it's about the whole purpose
behind the fast. And what we attained from the fast and we
approach our fastest such as this is something that we love to do,
for the sake of Allah data is that this will allow us to live that
fast and to live the rigid religious life, which includes the
fast in ways that other people simply don't have an ability to do
in a way other people don't have an ability to do in an afternoon.
In truly we give life to the dead, one acto not a demo at home.
And we record that which they have sent forth. And that which they
have left behind when October literate means to write but we've
translated here as record.
And so now a demo Well, I thought a home and that pad demo, a condom
is your foot. And so that as you're walking forward, it
connotes this idea of that forward motion in that which is before you
and that which is going to happen that in the future even and so
when to continue that which they have set forth, what the deeds
that will testify for you or against you on your Makana. So I'd
like to Anna will write those down and record them when a tumor cut
demo what or whom, in other is a trace. For those of you that
remember the cost that we did on fasting, we different we
differentiated between the iron of something and the ethyl, the iron
of something is its substance. And the alpha is its trace, and when
it comes to fasting is that if you have some type of foreign essence,
that's beyond your mouth, whether it'd be toothpaste or whether it
be some type of food or whether it be an impure substance and someone
to swallow that it would break your fast even if it's not food,
even if it's die or something like that. Now we differentiate between
the substance of something and the trace of something the other the
trace is
that there might be that some type of smell that associated with it
that you realize that it's still there, but the actual substance is
gone. So if someone brushed their teeth, rents their mouth out
really well. So there was no that substance of toothpaste left and
just kind of the traces of the smell in the field of having the
toothpaste on your tongue is that that does not break your fast for
you to swallow. So we differentiate between the two. But
the word ethar
also means that it's it's a footstep.
And it's a trace in the sense of that what you leave behind because
if you're walking to the desert, is that you leave traces. And
there's different narrations they ask the Arabi? Who was the desert
Arab?
How did you know your Lord?
And he said in a beautiful way, and again, there's different
narrations, the center of that, Raj, what although that image
would be heard of that image, and he went on to say that to speak
about the constellations in the sky, in the waves in the ocean,
and that everything on Earth, and then he set went on to say,
whatever photo you do add and mercury will vow to do the annual
very Allah you do have the Alasania bossier, he said the
footstep indicates that someone was walking there. The camel dung
dung indicates that there was a camel there. He said, does not all
of this indicate do the existence of the one who is that all hearing
in all seems apparent what data in other words, the very simple
logic, which is the way that we actually really shouldn't be
thinking it's impossible that there'll be an effect without a
cause behind it.
And so the thought is a footstep that is left left behind a trace.
So literally their footsteps for their traces, and the some of the
new Zoo. The occasion of revelation for this particular
verse was that there was a tribe of the unsought, known as Ben was
selima and that their homes were on the periphery on the outskirts
of Madina Munawwara such that it took them quite a long time to
walk to the masjid. And because that they wanted to that knee in
the masjid more is that they wanted to relocate closer to it.
And when this happened, is that this verse was revealed. And then
the Prophet SAW Allah I sent him that he sent to them in
mathematical took time for that, and taki Lu, is that the footsteps
that you take to arrive to the masjid are written for you. He
said, so don't move. And there's other narrations that as well, I
like him. And as you come, he said to them that remain that where you
are for in them or talk to him at article, you get the reward for
the steps that you take. And so that this was something special to
them, no sudden, although in general, it's good to live near
Masjid. But for them, is it because he knew that it wouldn't
prevent them from coming to the mission, he realized the great
reward that they were getting is that this is what he said is he
told them to remain where they were in this was then the verse
was revealed. When asked to make a demo, I thought, Uh huh.
So it literally means the footsteps of traces and this is
the symbol of the digital form, but then that in a broader sense,
that it also relates to the traces of the deeds that we leave behind.
What actually will happen cut demo what I thought, right that which
the deeds that we have set forth, and that which we have left
behind. And this applies to both the good and the bad. And that, as
for the good that we have a hadith that states he then that insan in
kata Armando elimine. Tara, if a human being dies, is that their
actions cease, except for three sadaqa jariya in ongoing charity,
in your interface,
knowledge that has benefited from Oh, wallet in Saudi Arabia, or a
pious child, the supplicates for them.
So these are three of the greatest examples of ongoing charities. So
those that do some type of ongoing charity, in support of project and
invest in it, that everything that happens and all of the benefit
comes to all of the people that that attend the programs and
everything else related to it is directly in the scrolls of those
people who took part in
it and immense reward. And that goes on as long as that that
institution or that building or that project is there isn't
long as that sadaqa God as there is that someone is in their grave
and still receiving reward and reward and reward and reward and
reward for knowledge that has benefited from,
can if you think about that, all of the great people of knowledge
who came before us, and the enterprise of knowledge and the
way that people quoted from this person that from that person,
sometimes you don't even know where the original quote started,
because it's been quoted or recorded so many times, is that
all of those who took part in the transmission of that are all
receiving reward to this day of everything that it is that we're
talking about, even now, as we speak, this hadith that we just
quoted, the verse in words of our Prophet size, and then think about
all of the people that took part in the transmission of that
hadith, such that you and I can that graze in his beauty on this
day. It's amazing if you really think about it.
And so that knowledge that has benefited from or they wanted saw,
a pious son or daughter, that prays for them. And this is also
an indication that our children should pray for us. And we should
pray for our parents on a daily basis, especially if we have
parents who, that open up all the doors of goodness to us, and that
help us to that take the right path, and facilitate for us that
to memorize the Quran, and to learn our deen and so on and so
on, that we should love our parents and make dua for them
every single day, and that they benefit from it. And then that the
beauty is that as well is that when you do that for your parents,
Allah to Allah will grant you children who do the same thing for
you.
The way we deal with our parents is the way our children will deal
with us. And this is the way that it works. And so these are the
three great that
these are the three great ongoing charities in so you can see how
when you build an institution of knowledge, how that they combine
that all three of these, because it knows no doubt about that, then
it's an ongoing charity. And the whole point of it being an
institution of knowledge that there's a transmission of
knowledge. And then is that there are people that come there, that
all of them, of course, have parents, and when they're
encouraged to do this, you can combine all of these meanings of
this ongoing charity and that in that, that supporting institutions
of learning. So not in a more positive sense. But then we have
another Hadith in Sahih Muslim that speaks to us about initiating
various types of practices. So in this hadith, the Prophet said, Men
send nothing is Sadam soon and has an attorney. You could roughly
translate this as whoever initiates in his Sadam a good
practice funnel as roja well as you know, man, I mean, that he
will have the reward of that. And the reward of all of those who
also act upon that bad who after him minute at anyon, bizarre and
unusual shape without having any of the rewards diminish, so
everyone gets a full reward. But then it works in the other way as
well. Woman son, if it is them soon it and see ya, and whoever
initiates into a tsunami, a bad practice kind of idea, he wizard
or wisdom and I'm going to be happening, the heat and heat and
young cousin knows that he is that he will have the sin of all of
those who act upon it after him that without diminishing that his
the sins have any of them in any way. So this also is that
something that we need to take heed of. And so when Allah to
Allah says when actually will not cut them or what I thought or
whom, and that we will record that, that and we will record that
which they have sent forth. And that which they have left behind
is that this is something that we really need to reflect upon the
seriousness of the various things that we do, and the legacies that
we leave behind.
And that we should take stock of that what it is that we are
dedicating our lives to, because when we personally returned to
Allah Tana is that we don't want the things that are going to
continue to channel that bad deeds into our grave. That is the last
thing that we want. On the contrary, we want things that are
going to channel good things into our grave. And there's a lot of
details that we don't have the time to go into. What are that the
list of for instance, that good practices, there's a long list
just as there's a long list of bad practices, and that the scholar in
them I know he says in his commentary on Sahih Muslim that
this hadith is a proof is that the Hadith about vidaa is conditional
meaning there's certain types of Vedanta has been referred to and
that he does because he
Hear that our Prophet is St. Sunita has a good practice, and
that there was reward for initial mens Sana which is to initiate. So
this is a proof that we have a more nuanced view of what is
evident and what is not in what is not. So anyhow, is that we should
really think about our actions and think about what are we leaving
behind. And what we want to leave behind is only goodness, and that
we want to leave behind that legacies that will allow people to
flourish in the future. And then Allah to Allah says, Will
coalition, us say no fee in minimal been, and we have
accounted for everything in a clear registry.
And that
this refers to first and foremost, the inscription of all things,
everything that will exist from the beginning of time, until the
end of time, in what is known as the low hanging fruit. That is the
preserve tablets
will coalition us say no. And we have accounted for everything we
have enumerated everything, CEE Mammon will being in a clear
registry.
And so what is translated here as a clear registry, the Arabic word
is Imam, and then the adjective of that is moving. So moving means to
be clear to that the that that elucidated
in the Imam, there are a number of the ways that we think about an
email, the most obvious is that you have an imam that leads
someone in prayer. So the idea of that any Imam is that person which
is or that thing which is followed.
So you also have the Khalifa of the Muslims is also known as the
email, you also have, for instance, a general of an army is
this word in Arabic could also use for a general in the army, the one
who guides you like your travel guide, can also that be called an
Imam, even a that vast path, a wide path is called imam in the
Arabic language, and
a book that is the mother copy, whereby which other books are
transcribed from it is also called an imam in Arabic. And so if you
have the most authentic addition of it to particular text that was
in transcribed in manuscript form after it, that's considered to be
the Imam of those other texts. And so is that what is really meant
here is that that the Preserved Tablet is DMM rubine. And it is
the imam in a sense, that is the leader of all of the other books
in that all of the other books follow it. And what is that meant
specifically by that is that we know that all of our actions that
are recorded by angels, we know that, but in this sense is that
their registers will follow in the sense what is recorded in the low
hammer forth
in the preserve tablet,
and that one scholar counted up to 15 times, where a lot out of
refers to this low hammer falls in refer to it in different ways,
calling it elke tab, and we've been calling it the old Wilkie
tab. And obviously, the low hammer falls, that environment will being
the key tab and mcnown, referring to it in different ways that he
counted 15 verses
that refers to this. And when we start to get into a detailed
understanding of what exactly is looking ruffles, that requires a
much closer and detailed study. For now, we're just going to
describe it as follows is that it is that which all of the Divine
decrees are written in it, everything that will be from the
beginning of time, until the end of time is inscribed in it. And I
thought this was helpful. To quote this falling passage this is taken
from an universe by most often valuing, he says
you in the context of relationships.
To render these relationships clear, we must know that
everything in existence was made according to a model or archetype.
In the eternal immutable divine knowledge. Every Lage relationship
here below corresponds to another at a higher level, in so on until
their origin in the uncreated divine knowledge, the first pair
so this in the context of the pairs, which was created Express
Same this duality, which became the model for every subsequent
pair is that of the pin the column, in the garden tablet, the
low hammer holds. The first is active and represents majesty and
the second is passive in relation to it and represents beauty, the
pin in the sense of the writing of the Divine Decree, the Prophet
sallallaahu Salam said the first thing that Allah created was the
pin, then he made the tablet than the pin was commanded to inscribe
on the tablet, Allah's knowledge concerning his creation from the
beginning to the last day. So he said to me, the thus the pen
actually wrote in the tablet passively received its imprint,
the first human player was also an active full adder who was supposed
to be creating Eve, his passive complement. And the idea is to
understand the pairs in this idea of what is active and what is
passive in relation to everything that Allah has created, has both a
passive and active nature. But here is that the low hammer falls,
what's important for us to understand now contains that the
knowledge of everything that is in will be from the beginning of
time, until the end of time, will Coolessay in a casino, female
movie, and we have accounted for everything in a clear registry.
And if you notice, this first comes right after our last scene
went up to them up, but the more I thought at home, is that we will
record that we're safe sent forth that we've been left behind, but
then Allah emphasizes further, not just what human beings have that
everything, what color shape, everything that we have accounted
for, in a clear registry. And the Arabic word that is used here is
that a saw your see seen, the now there is what we call an English
the royal we,
in the scholars say that it is used here, that to indicate
the
the magnitude of what is being said, I say no, this is something
immense, if you really think about this, everything that was is in
will be Allah Jalla Jalla Hello, has recorded that. And accounted
for that in enumerated that Subhanallah what Allah that is
amazing. Everything in this word, that I say not one of the names of
Allah is. And lastly,
and in general is that it relates this name also is one of the names
that relates to knowledge, but it relates to something specific in
relation to knowledge. And so that study says the following about
this name of Allah, He is the one who encompasses all existence in
detail, such that nothing, not even a single atom escapes his
knowledge, in no state is hidden from him. So not only relation,
every atom, every state, he is the one Subhanallah that has accounted
for everything in his fully and totally aware of everything and
knows everything. And so this is why one of the ways that we can
that translate this is the one who knows the knower of all separate
things.
And that in his commentary on the names of a lot of energy, but then
he says quoting one of the scholars before Him, He who knows
that Allah is the knower of all separate things can never be
oblivious and neglectful of him under Indian condition. So the
more that you bring that name to mind, is that Allah yes he is the
knower. Allah Yes is the hubby are the totally aware. But when you
think about the name and mercy is that it even insights into a
greater state of Morocco via a vigilance because you realize that
Allah to Allah knows everything, every detail, that every single
piece of it every single out the S every single, the knows the
essence of something, all of the traits of something he knows the
reality of things in everything that can possibly be said about
that thing. And then when you really think about your own
knowledge is that even this carpet that is right before us here. If
you asked us what is this okay, it's carpet, we're praying on it.
But to what degree do we actually know this carpet, there'll be
different degrees that it is shown by is going to give us a lot more
details because you have so much experience with this carpet and
where it's from and where it's made and what the materials are
and what you can do with it. What you can do with it. None of us are
going to know that we know that okay has beige in it. It has that
a little bit of that off white and it is read and it will know some
basic things, okay, it's a bit comfortable, and so on and so on.
But those that have a greater knowledge of it will be able to
give you a lot more details of it.
Just this carpet that's right here. And that what is made for
where it comes from the internet and all these other types of
things. But then even that, to what degree do we really know the
carpet even if you knew everything you could possibly know about it
from our perspective
that what happens if you put it through a microscope times 10
You're seeing something else completely. times 100 You're
seeing something else completely times 1000 You're seeing something
else completely, then what is it? When you get down to the basic
components of matter? How much do we actually really know things.
And then in terms of what we can know, and especially with all of
these scientific breakthroughs, in the way that we're finding out
fascinating things at the micro and the macro level still is it
we're very limited in what we know a lot is the mercy, He knows
everything about everything. Subhana wa Tada. So when we
understand that name, is that the result should be is that we never
can be oblivious and neglectful of him under any condition, rather,
is that he will stand and vigilant watch over himself or herself at
all times, watching over all of our breaths, whilst in over all of
our movements, and even times of stillness.
Allah knows everything about us. Can we count our breaths that we
take in one day, even if you sat next to someone to try to count
how many breaths that they've taken one day, everything that
should be our response to this name of Allah subhanho wa Taala
will coalition us in the human wellbeing, we have accounted for
everything in a clear register. And the purpose of this is
ultimately that for that you and I, to call ourselves to good
behavior, to avoid disobedience, which is the greatest poison of
all acts of disobedience, or the greatest poison of all that kills
the heart. And that to encourage us to embark upon a path of
obedience to Allah Tana, which is the greatest elixir of all, which
is the greatest door that opens up all good. And this is ultimately
that why we've been created so that we can show our obedience to
our Lord Subhanallah died and those that do and are sincere in
their worship is at the door of every all good will open up to
them in this dunya before the next and so sha Allah Tada, we will
stop there and we a lot of Oracle data that make us aware of these
meanings into the open up our hearts to be able to understand
them and to put them into practice. I love to have to give
us Tofik at all over different affairs and bless these nights and
these days, and blessed are fasting and to bring relief to the
Omaha scene and Mohamed Salah and yes, I'll be setting them as
collateral to strengthen on one of our Prophet sites and to protect
them of our promise I sent him all of our brothers and sisters that
are suffering in different places in Earth may Allah Allah grant
them relief May Allah to give them solace and to make these intense
tribulations that they're going through burden was Saddam and that
peaceful and cool upon them yada but I mean, masala has eaten early
or Savio Salam will humbly lie here
so
there are certain number of times we should say.
So, when it comes to that, I would just saying that you really need a
chef when it comes to reciting specific names of Allah to add
them multiple times. That's not really an over the counter type of
the,
the over the counter part type of the over the counter aspect of the
names of a lot of just reciting them in their entirety from
beginning to end. So just reciting the nine names will allow Ramona
and whoever you're accustomed to knowing it the way we used to do
it into them. They used to recite the nine nine names every every
night, but they do it in congregation. And they would just
do it they would add Yeah, yeah, I'll help the man Oh, yeah, he
will. Yeah, man. He knows
me no, yeah. Hey, me. No, yeah, I was used to the end. And so that's
something we can all do because because it comes directly from a
hadith where you just from the beginning to end recite all of
them so I would attempt to do that at least once a day. As for
reciting a particular name, a particular amount of times that's
prescribed based upon me. So that's but it does, you know,
there are
you know that there are time for a few who, you know, will do that
for you. Remember us
