salatu salam ala Rasulillah who Allah Allah He was a heavy woman while I'm about today's wisdom from the Quran surah Zoomer verse nine. All hell yes that will lead in either Munna wala dena. Allah, Allah moon. Ask them does the one who has knowledge is the one who has knowledge the same as the one who doesn't have knowledge? Ask them hell yes, they will let you know you're either moon or the moon. Are they the same? The one who has in versus the one who doesn't have it in? In this rhetorical question. Allah subhanho wa Taala is underscoring the importance of learning and gaining knowledge. Do you think they're the same? It's a rhetorical question, are you going to put these two

00:01:06--> 00:01:54

people the same Alethea Nya and Mo and those that have him versus those that don't have him and the entire Quran is nothing but the Quran praises in and the Quran centers in the Quran was revealed to teach us it is through him that we learned why we are here we learn who created us, it is through him that ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada raises the ranks of the people. Allah tells us the biggest blessing he has given us is the capacity to learn and then the knowledge he has given us in the Quran. Allah says Allah Allah the Raja come member 20 Oh Mahatma come Lata and Amona che and Allah is the one who caused you to be born from your mother's wombs. You didn't know anything. Notice when you were born,

00:01:54--> 00:02:41

how much M did you have? You didn't know anything. Then Allah says, I gave you a summer one of Surah Al Qaeda, I gave you ears and eyes and an intellect. I gave you the capacity to learn. Look at this ayah Allah says you came out knowing nothing. You came out of the wombs of your mothers, utterly ignorant you didn't know Lata and Amona che up but I gave you the capacity to learn. I gave you ears and eyes and an intellect so that you can grow and learn. And Allah subhana wa Tada demonstrates it is through knowledge that ultimate superiority is shown. When Allah said to the angels, I am creating a new creation. And Allah told the angels to bow down to this creation. How did Allah

00:02:41--> 00:03:26

demonstrate that this creation was superior to the angels? Did this creation? Was he created bigger than the angels? Did this creation have more wings than the angels? How did Allah demonstrate the superiority of man over the angels? Why I love the man smart Akula Allah gave Adam and in that he didn't give to the angels. Allah gave Adam a knowledge that was not given to the angels. It was because of that knowledge, the angels understood. Allah has preferred Adam over us. It is through knowledge that even the ranks of the prophets themselves are established. Allah says in the Quran speaking to the prophets of Allah, who are they he was seldom what Allah commanded them to contact

00:03:26--> 00:04:07

them what kind of football law here are they Calima Allah taught you your rasool Allah what you didn't have knowledge of what I Lempicka, Mala, Mala, madam to contain them what kind of football law here I lay Calvin. And Allah's blessings on you are too numerous to count. It is through knowledge that even worldly leadership is established, not just religious leadership, not just clergy and arola. Ma also worldly leaders who has the most right to lead others. In the Quran we learned when Allah appointed a king for the Bani Israel, when Allah appointed to loot the Bani Israel and said, This person you appointed, he's not from a royal family. He's not from the elite.

00:04:07--> 00:04:50

He doesn't have money. He's not from our nobility. And the prophet that was at that time said to them, don't you see Allah has chosen to loot was the who best thought and filler in me well jism Allah has given Talu to him and just him Allah has given Talu knowledge that knowledge is what makes him worthy to be your worldly King. So even in leadership of this dunya and of course, who is the most successful CEO, the one who knows the best so we understand him is a priority for the dean and the dunya. In fact, let us go back to the very first revelation. What does Allah emphasize throughout that entire revelation? It is about knowledge and acquiring knowledge and studying

00:04:50--> 00:04:59

knowledge. If Cara go ahead and study and learn if Quran Bukola Karim Allah the Allameh Bill column, I live in Santa Mala Mia

00:05:00--> 00:05:43

am Allah taught to man what man did not know? This is what Allah is telling us that not only does man have the capacity to learn, by the way, none of the animals have this type of capacity. We have a level of cognition and the technical term metacognition that no animal has. Yes, it is true animals maybe learn one dimensional, they can teach very basic stuff, but to think deeply, to have profound thoughts, to philosophize, to study history, to study different aspects of knowledge, to integrate knowledge to understand why you're studying knowledge, that is a level of intellect, no other creation has. So not only did Allah choose us through knowledge through through him, Allah

00:05:43--> 00:06:27

then gave us that in what Allah commanded to Adam, he gave us the tools and then he gave us the actual end. And even in something as mundane as training animals in the Quran, there is a category about trained animals Believe it or not, and when you're trained animals hunt when you're trained dogs aren't. Allah says to Isley Munna, Hoonah Mima lemma Kamala, you train your dogs. This is a verse in the Quran, by the way, that dog training that you go hunting, Allah gave you the capacity to be able to teach your dogs this to Nimona Hanuman Malama Comala this is in the Quran that even something as mundane as teaching other animals. How did you know how to teach other animals? How did

00:06:27--> 00:07:11

you acquire this skill? When it comes to building ships, Allah says I taught, I taught no alayhis salam to do that. When it comes to languages Allah says, I taught Adam this when it comes to metallurgy Allah says why lamb now husana terrible sin I taught the world how to do metallurgy, all of the sciences Allah taught mankind the basics and then we built from there and we made what we made all of this Allah subhana wa Tada blessed us with. So the Quran emphasizes Islam and the Quran wants us to learn. In fact, in the whole Quran, the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is commanded to ask only one thing more than what he has. We'll call Rob busy the ni l ma O Allah I

00:07:11--> 00:07:55

want more in Rob busy Dyneema so from this we learned hell yesterday and I'm gonna lie on the moon. Do you think the one of n and the one without him are the same? No will Allah He they are not the same. So we learn from this Oh Muslim, the Muslim is obsessed with him. Of all types of the deen and LM of the dunya the Muslim is always wanting to learn is always curious is always wanting to read if Cora is the first revelation, and once upon a time we rule the world because we emphasize Unfortunately things have changed but the mind is still the same. So my plea to myself and all of you memorize this Verse Hell yester will deny the moon and the moon are they the same? The one who

00:07:55--> 00:08:37

has knowledge the one who doesn't have knowledge and realize everybody no matter how expert you are in one field, you can always learn in other fields will fall accordingly. The Illman are named above every specialist there are other specialists as well. You cannot specialize in everything. In fact the story of Musa and hidden Institute Celica have Musa being a prophet, Allah said to him, actually you have knowledge nobody else has, but clynder has knowledge you do not have and so Musa traveled to hidden. And Musa said, I want to learn what Allah has taught you. This shows us to learn, you must be humble, and you must be willing to learn from the experts around you. Even if you are a

00:08:37--> 00:09:18

prophet like Musa, there are others who know things you do not know. And this is what the Quran teaches us. If this is the case with Musa How about me and you humble yourself and learn and I always remind myself and my students, you don't have to become an Adam, but don't remain a Jai Hill. You don't have to become an alum, but don't remain a GI Hill learn and read and study and Allah tells us in the Quran first Oh to Allah decree and quantum law to ask the people of knowledge if you do not know ask the people learn from the people of knowledge if you do not know it is the journey of knowledge that raises our ranks. Allah says in the Quran, your Hola Hola, Dena amo domain calm

00:09:18--> 00:09:59

wala Dena O'Toole, Medora Jad, Allah will raise the ranks of the believers and the ranks of those who have written Allah will raise the ranks many many Daraja simply by learning you will rise up in your ranks simply by knowing something Allah will bless you. So be incentivized to learn. Always be curious, don't waste your time and useless things if you have some free time study and read and I reiterate, by knowledge here I don't just mean knowledge of Islam. No doubt knowledge of Islam is the most important but the Quran a concept of Islam is any type of any sort of Quran teaches us this right? I remember

00:10:00--> 00:10:42

In Santa Maria Maria Adam, Allah taught man what he did not know if Keira bucola Quran Allah azza wa jal taught I lemma Bill condom all of the sciences that are not true that are MOBA. They are from the knowledge Allah has given us and inshallah if we return to prioritizing him, we shall return to the reason that this ummah once upon had and realized brothers and sisters that have the names of Allah is Eileen and Olam, an animal AB was Shahada. Allah is Allah ml who you and Allah knows everything and Allah azza wa jal in his mercy has given us a little bit of him but it is only going to remain a little bit warmer Otome main enemy Illa kalila but that colleagues that we have, the

00:10:42--> 00:10:57

more we learn, the more we will be blessed and so remember, polyester will lead you in either moon or the moon. The two are not the same. Let us choose to be in the category of those who have in a shallow data will continue tomorrow was said I'm not going to lie
