In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious,
the Most Merciful.
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord
of the Worlds, and to the righteous.
And peace and blessings be upon His noble
Messenger, and upon his family and companions.
Next.
This is the third season of the Al
-Bina course, or series of lectures.
We've covered three main topics.
Aqidah, and the fiqh, and the seerah.
Every Monday, we hold the Aqidah class.
Previously, we covered various topics under the subject
of Aqidah, and we continue in this third
season with the same series of lectures, covering
some additional topics related to Aqidah.
Today's topic is the belief in Allah's existence.
This is a topic that is very common
nowadays.
And not only some Muslims have doubts in
Allah's existence, in fact, some have even left
the religion of Islam because of the shubuhat,
because of the doubts that have been instilled
in their mind, or I should say the
shubuhat that have been whispered in their mind.
And unfortunately, this fitna is fast growing, which
is known as atheism.
Atheists.
Those who deny the existence of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala based on not any evidence
at all, rather all based on shubuhat and
the doubts.
And when they are encountered with some clear
-cut evidences, the answer is, that's it, this
is how it happens.
So according to them, everything happens automatically.
So this whole universe came into existence without
a creator.
The heavens and the earth, and the sea,
the sun, moon, stars, everything came into existence
by itself, as well as human beings.
And this is something that does not appeal
the nature of human beings.
Believing in the existence of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala, or believing in the existence of
a creator, it is something that is part
of the natural instinct of human beings.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, fitratallah allathee
fataran nasa alaiha The fitrah upon which Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala created the mankind, Allah
created the human beings.
la tabdeela li khalqillah There is no change
in the creation of Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala.
No change in the creation of Allah means,
the way Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala created
the things, no one could create differently.
No one could create any change.
For example, Allah created the heavens, no one
is able to change the creation of the
heavens, or the earth, or the sea, or
the sun, or the moon, or the mountain,
like was human beings.
You may say that human beings are different,
every individual is different, no doubt they are
different, but they have some limitations.
For example, a human being has to grow
to a certain height.
What stops a human being to grow longer
or taller than the certain height?
If a man, if a person came into
existence by himself or herself, what stops the
person to grow further, to grow taller?
Why we don't see common human beings having
three hands?
Why can't a human being have two faces?
Why can't a normal human being have four
eyes?
Four ears, two nose, what stops them?
If everything came into existence by itself, then
what stops them?
These limitations and this particular form or shape
itself is an evidence that they have been
created by a creator.
Someone is there who has created them.
And this is something that Allah Subh'anaHu
Wa Ta-A'la has highlighted in the
Qur'an in many ayat, in many surahs.
And those who have doubts with regards to
the existence of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
-A'la, as he said, they are only
doubts, there is no any evidence.
They may say we have some scientific evidences,
but on the other hand, there are more
than one or more than the evidences they
have.
There are other evidences that prove the existence
of the creator, Allah Dhul-Jalali wal-Ikram.
There are so many intellectual or rational evidences
that prove the existence of Allah Subh'anaHu
Wa Ta-A'la.
Those who have shubuhat, those who have doubts
with regards to the existence of Allah Subh
'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, one of their
common shubuhat or the doubt is that way
in the Qur'an is written that Allah
exists.
Is there any ayah, is there any clear
cut evidence in the Qur'an?
The answer is that there are some ayat,
but if you were to contemplate and reflect
on the meaning and the translation of those
ayat.
Secondly, yes, there are only few ayat that
discuss the existence of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa
Ta-A'la, but vast majority of the
ayat, I should say, one third of the
entire Qur'an focuses on the tawheed of
Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la.
So, the Qur'an does not focus much
on the existence of Allah, rather, it focuses
on the oneness of Allah, on the tawheed
of Allah.
Why?
Because the existence of believing or belief in
the existence of Allah is something that is
part of the natural instinct.
This is part of the fitrah.
A person, any human being who is born
and he grows up, they ask question about
the existence of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta
-A'la.
Those who have doubts, I'm talking about those
who have doubts.
Them asking those questions or raising those doubts
or raising question based on those doubts, it
itself is an evidence that their fitrah invites
them to believe in the Creator.
That is why they have all these evidences.
That is why they have all these doubts
and shubuhat.
Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la said
in the Qur'an, And the Prophet Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam has confirmed that.
He said, The
Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, There is no
human being, there is no insan that is
born except he and she is born on
fitrah.
And then later, his environment, his parents, and
the people who groom him or her, they
are the one who change his religion.
That is why the religion of Islam is
called the religion of fitrah.
Fitrah Allah.
Fitrah Allah, the fitrah of Allah, the fitrah
that Allah created the human beings on is
the fitrah of Islam.
And Islam is based on what?
Tawheed of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A
'la, believing in one God.
And this is something that Allah has discussed
in the Qur'an.
For example, in Surah Al-Anbiya, Allah Subh
'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la says, If there
were more than one God in this universe,
the whole system will go wrong.
Allah says, Allah did not take a child,
and there is no any God besides Allah
Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la.
If there was another God, if there was
one more God, God one would create something,
Allah two would create something else.
And then who would decide who has more
power?
Because both of them can't be equal.
If one has more power than the other,
then the one who has less power, how
can he be God and Allah then?
He has limited power.
God and Allah should be someone who has
unlimited power and authority over everything.
If one has less power than the other,
then it shows that there is only one
God.
And this is one of the evidences that
we present to the Christians, those who believe
in Trinity.
They say, Allah has a son, Isa.
So, they say that the father God and
the son God, do they have the similar
level of power and authority?
No.
The father God has more authority.
Then it means, the son that you believe
or you call a son God, he does
not have a power or he has limited.
Then the one who created, he is actually
Allah.
If he is Allah, if he is the
creator, then he is the one who deserves
our worship.
And if he deserves our worship, then why
other Allah and other Gods deserve our worship?
Why do we need to worship?
So, this is how Quran has discussed this
matter.
If there are many Gods in the heaven
and the earth, the whole system will crop,
will flop, because it cannot work.
You cannot have two individuals running the system
of any country, both of them have the
same power.
Have you ever heard that there are two
prime ministers in one country?
Two presidents in one country?
Yeah, there is always opposition.
One may take over the chair, one may
take over the other, but both of them
cannot have equal power and authority.
How can this whole universe run smoothly, not
for a day or two, for millions of
years, every single day the sun comes out,
sun rises and sun sets, moon comes out
and goes down.
And every single day you have a day
and night, and sometimes days are longer than
night, and sometimes vice versa.
All of this is the evidence that there
is a creator.
And this is what Allah has discussed in
many ayat of the Quran.
And this is what we are going to
discuss inshallah next week, with regards to Tawheed
al-Rububiyah.
Because this is the first step, that you
understand that there is a creator.
Going back to the doubts of those who
do not believe in the existence of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala.
One of the common doubt is that, who
created Allah then?
If Allah is a creator, who created Allah?
And for us, the Muslims, those who believe
in the Quran, and in the hadith of
Rasulullah s.a.w, the Prophet a.s.
has addressed this question.
And he s.a.w said, you keep
asking and raising questions about the existence of
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, starting from the
Qadr of Allah.
And then you end up asking or raising
this question, who created Allah?
The simple answer for us the believers, those
who believe in the Quran, in the hadith,
of Rasulullah s.a.w is, that you
stop at that point.
As soon as shaitan whispers in your mind,
who created Allah?
That's it.
Say, I seek refuge with Allah, and try
to get rid of that doubt from your
mind.
But for those, who do not believe in
the Quran, those who do not believe in
the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w, for them
the answer is, that you tell us who
created, who could have created Allah.
If we say, the way you believe, that
everything came into existence by itself, what if
we say, that Allah came into existence by
himself?
Then what?
How can you deny that?
They have no evidence to deny.
On the other hand, if we say, someone
created Allah, I seek refuge with Allah from
that, then who created?
The one who created Allah.
And this is something that can lead, and
unlimited, you know, it continues.
You will have to believe, you have to
believe, that there is a creator, who is
not created.
And the one who is created, cannot be
creator.
That is why Allah says in the Quran,
in Surah At-Tur, أَمْ خُلِقُوا مِنْ غَيْرِ
شَيْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ الْخَالِقُونَ أَمْ خَلَقُوا السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ
بَلْ لَا يُوقِنُوا أَمْ خُلِقُوا مِنْ غَيْرِ شَيْءٍ
Have the human beings been created from nothing?
And how is it possible for anything to
come into existence from nothing?
You name a thing in this, anything that
you have in your possession, this laptop, this
mic, this table, chair, anything, can you prove
that all of this came into existence by
itself?
No.
You would never say that.
Rather you believe that someone created, someone made
them.
That is why it is reported that someone
raised this question to Imam Abu Hanifa, Rahimahullah.
And he replied and he said, what if
I say to you that there was a
tree, a tree came into existence by itself,
and then the tree itself fell down.
And the tree itself was chopped into pieces
of wood.
And those pieces of wood came together by
themselves.
And they took the form of a ship.
And then once the ship was made or
the ship came into existence by itself, the
ship itself went into the sea.
And then it traveled for a long journey
and then the ship came back.
And the ship was loaded with the stuff
by itself.
And the ship came back by itself.
Would you believe in that?
He said no.
How can it be possible?
It cannot happen.
He said one single ship cannot come into
existence by itself.
How can this whole universe come into existence
by itself?
And it is also narrated in another narration
that Imam Abu Hanifa, he had a debate
with an atheist, someone who did not believe
in the existence of Allah.
And the time was agreed.
The place was agreed.
And Imam Abu Hanifa, he was late.
He was late for the appointed time.
And when he came late, the opposite side,
the atheist, he asked him, you Muslim, you
do not stick to your time and you
are late.
Why were you late?
Abu Hanifa said actually, I was far away
and I had no means to travel to
this place.
Then all of a sudden, a ship came
into existence in front of me.
And then I traveled and the ship by
itself moved.
And this is how I traveled.
He said, you know, how is it possible?
No, you are lying.
He said, if I am lying, then you
are lying as well.
That this whole universe came into existence by
itself without a creator.
Allah says, Am khuliqoo min ghayri shay'in
am humul khaliqoon Have they been created by
themselves or without anything?
Now there are only two possibilities.
Either something comes into existence by a maker,
by a creator, or it comes into existence
by itself.
If it comes into existence by itself, then
what is the evidence and how is it
possible?
Now on reasoning or rational, how is it
possible for something to come into existence?
And more than how, why?
Why something came into existence?
There must be a reason.
This mouse has been created for a reason.
Laptop has been created for a reason.
Microphone has been created for a reason.
Table has been made for a reason.
But this whole universe came into existence without
a creator and without a reason?
A human being came into existence without a
creator, without a reason?
How is it possible?
Everything that you enjoy in this life come
into existence for a reason.
But your own self existence has no reason.
Allah says, Afa hasibtum annama khalaqnakum abafa wa
annakum ilayna la turjaun.
Do you believe or do you think that
you have been created without a purpose?
Rather, human being are created for a purpose,
for a reason.
And the reason Allah has told us in
the Quran wama khalaqtul jinna wal insa illa
liyabudoon.
So, for something, for you to say that
something comes into existence without a reason, this
does not make sense.
And if you say, yes, there is a
reason, who is going to define the reason?
Obviously someone who makes something, he is the
one who defines the reason.
And if a human being came into existence
by a creator, then the creator is the
one who has defined the reason.
And the reason is as Allah says, wama
khalaqtul jinna wal insa illa liyabudoon.
And if you say that human being came
into existence without a reason, then next question
is, why human being die?
What is the reason?
Why can't they live forever in this life?
Why can't they live forever?
If something came into existence by itself, what
stops them?
And what is the reason that they leave
this dunya?
What stops them from living forever?
Why someone dies at the age of 40,
50, 60, 70?
And another question is, what if someone does
not want to die but they still die?
Someone especially those who do not believe in
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
They are always afraid of death.
The true believer is never scared of death.
As Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has confirmed.
The true believer always loves meeting Allah Dhul
Jalal al-Ikram.
But those who do not believe in Allah,
they do not want to leave this dunya.
Why?
What is the reason?
If they came into existence without a reason,
why they would leave this dunya without a
reason?
Have they been created from nothing?
Or the other possibility is that they themselves
are the Khaliq.
So this is another point.
If you say that something came into existence
without a creator, in other words, you are
saying that that particular object is the creator
of itself.
Human being came into existence by himself and
Insan, a man came into existence by himself
means that he created himself.
Then it means you do believe in a
creator.
You do believe in a creator.
You do not believe in one creator, rather
you believe in countless creators.
And how can there be countless creators and
and all of them, they agree on something
with regards to the shape and the form
of human being.
As I just said at the start, that
why person A has two hands and person
B cannot have three hands.
Because person 1 came into existence, basically the
person 1 created himself and the person B
created himself as well.
Why both of them have two hands?
Why person B can't have three?
Person C have four hands.
Person D have five hands.
Why?
This all is in evidence that there is
one creator.
There is one created who has created the
human being and he is the one who
created the heavens and the earth.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says in the
Quran, in the story of Sayyiduna Musa A
.S. that Firaun Firaun did not deny the
existence of Allah.
Rather he claimed to be Allah along with
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And when Musa A.S. gave him Dawah,
he said as Allah says in the Quran
Firaun What is and Who is Because Musa
A.S. called him to the oneness of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And then he raised this question as it
is mentioned in another ayah in Surah Taha
He said Who is your Lord O Musa
And Musa A.S. gave evidence.
He said The The Rabb and the creator
and the lord of the heavens and the
earth.
This was the strongest and the biggest evidence
that Musa A.S. presented before Firaun and
this is the evidence that Allah has repeatedly
mentioned in the Quran.
The people of Mecca during the time of
the Prophet S.A.W they never denied
the existence of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Rather they said that Allah is the one
who has.
They always believed in higher power.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And they said Allah has divided his authority
and he has distributed his authorities amongst various
gods.
He has given the authority to so and
so to give children.
He gave authority to so and so to
provide provision and rizq and to grant barakah.
So this is what they believed in.
They never refused.
They never denied the existence of Allah.
But Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala made his
Tawheed Al-Rububiyah.
That if you believe that Allah is the
one.
He is alone.
He is the one who created the heavens
and the earth.
Then this is an evidence that he himself
alone deserves your worship.
And that is as said.
We are going to discuss inshallah next week
Tawheed Al-Rububiyah.
So Musa A.S. said My
Lord, my Rab is the Rab of the
heavens and the earth if you have yaqeen,
if you have certainty.
Meaning you have to have certainty in believing
that the heavens and the earth were created
by your creator.
And the same thing Allah has repeated in
Surah At-Tur when he said Have they
been created from nothing?
Or they are the creator of themselves?
Or have they created the heavens and the
earth?
Then Allah says But the reality is that
they have no certainty.
Rather they have their belief based on all
the doubts.
And this is what Musa A.S. said
to Firaun If you have yaqeen.
Then Firaun said to the people around him
He said Do you not hear what Musa
A.S. is saying?
Musa A.S. said it's not only the
Lord, the Rab of the heavens and the
earth Rather The Rab who created the heavens
and the earth He is the same Rab
who created you and your forefathers He is
the Rab of the east and the west
and whatever is in between.
So Musa A.S. presented the evidence of
this whole universe as evidence for the existence
of Allah.
For the existence of Allah So these are
the evidences that the Quran focuses on Believing
in one God.
And you can believe in one God only
if you believe in the existence of Allah
And for you to believe in the existence
of Allah You need to look at the
signs of the universe.
You need to look into the signs of
the universe.
That is why Allah.S.W.T. said
in the Quran Why do these people do
not ponder and reflect upon themselves?
Look at their own body a particular shape
How they came into existence Arabic Arabic Arabic
Allah did not create the heavens and the
earth and whatever is between except with truth
and for a limited period of time for
a specific time Arabic Arabic The vast majority
of people deny meeting Allah.S.W.T.
So the very first point is that believing
in the existence of Allah.S.W.T
is based on the fitrah upon which Allah
.S.W.T has created the human beings
Every person, every human being naturally believes in
Allah.S.W.T Now the question is
how can you confirm that every single human
being believes in Allah, in the existence of
Allah This is what the Quran confirms Arabic
Arabic Arabic Arabic When Allah created Adam.S
.W.T Allah brought and produced from the
loins of Adam.S.W.T his offspring
and from the offspring, the offspring and Allah
made them witness Arabic Allah asked each one
of us whether we remember or we don't
If we don't remember then the message of
the Prophet comes to awaken us so that
those who accept the message, they actually remember
what they promised Allah So Allah asked each
one of us, He said Arabic Am I
not your Lord?
All of them said, why not?
Arabic We bear witness, we testify that you
are our Rabb, you are our Lord, you
are our creator Then Allah says Arabic Arabic
So that you should not say on the
day of judgment that we were unaware that
who created us.
So that is the fitrah that Allah S
.W.T created us on and this is
the reason that people raise these questions about
the existence of Allah and them asking those
questions or raising those shubhaat itself is an
evidence that they naturally believe in the existence
of Allah S.W.T Then they have
those doubts and those doubts have been whispered
in their mind Arabic Arabic And finally I
would like to recommend those who are interested
in this matter to basically study in detail
a very good book written by brother Hamza
the one who works for Aira I think
it's Divine something Does anyone know the name
of the book?
Divine Reality Yes, Divine Reality.
It's a very good book Alhamdulillah because all
these shubhaat comes from philosophers based on philosophy
and the philosophy itself is so weak as
compared to the evidence of the Quran and
the evidence that Allah S.W.T has
placed in the universe and the very last
thing that I would like to advise those
who do not have a strong base or
foundation of their belief based on the evidence
of the Quran and the hadiths never ever
indulge into discussion with the atheists and those
who have doubts about the existence of Allah
or those who do not believe in the
existence of Allah S.W.T because it
can eventually and potentially lead you having doubts
about the existence of Allah S.W.T
for you to have a strong foundation of
your belief in the existence of Allah S
.W.T you need to study the Quran
the hadiths of Rasulullah S.A.W and
under within the umbrella of the Quran and
the hadiths of Rasulullah S.A.W look
into the scientific evidences about the existence of
Allah S.W.T then only you may
have discussion with those who have doubts or
those who do not believe in the existence
of Allah S.W.T otherwise for a
believer for Muslim it does not be fit
for them to just simply as unfortunately some
of the youth nowadays say just out of
curiosity I just wanted to know I just
wanted to hear their side no before you
hear their side before you get involved into
the doubts or hear their doubts you need
to understand the ayat of the Quran you
need to understand the hadiths of Rasulullah S
.A.W you need to have that solid
foundation then only you can tackle this issue
may Allah S.W.T grant us protection
and may Allah S.W.T protect us
from the whispers of shaitan and from the
shubuhat may Allah S.W.T keep us
firm and steadfast on the path of Islam
more knowledge on Islam and question okay the
question is what do you say to people
who inquire more knowledge on Islam and question
why Allah is used as the term he
okay if obviously you know whatever Allah S
.W.T used in the Quran whether the
term he or other term this is not
only term there are other terms as well
you may raise question about those terms as
well all of these terms have been used
in order for us to understand in order
for us to understand let me give you
an example Allah says in the Quran one
of the attributes of Allah is alimulghaybi washshahada
Allah is the knower of the unseen and
the present just reflect on this word alimulghaybi
Allah is the knower of the unseen if
something is unseen and he knows does it
not contradict how can it be unseen if
he knows how can it be unseen and
if it is unseen how can he be
knower but why it is not once or
twice in so many ayat Allah says alimulghaybi
washshahada he is the knower of the unseen
and the present the answer is that Allah
said unseen for human being whatever is unseen
for us he knows nothing is unseen for
Allah for Allah everything is present everything is
within the knowledge of Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala everything is within the knowledge of Allah
nothing is unseen for Allah but Allah used
the term alimulghaybi washshahada all the unseen wherever
the word unseen is used or the word
ghayb is used in the Quran it is
for us to understand another example is that
Allah says whenever Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
intends to do something he says kun, be
or become and it comes into existence now
the question is that Allah why does Allah
need to say kun, that is why some
of the mufassirun said that is for us
to understand that nothing is impossible for Allah
for us to understand Allah said whenever he
intends to do something he says kun for
us to understand whereas in reality Allah does
not even need to say Allah is not
in need of anything Allah does not need
to even say kun he intends it happens
so likewise the term he or huwa in
Arabic is mentioned for us to understand because
we human being again we have been created
by the creator and the one who created
us he created us with limitations as we
have the limitations we have limited limited forms
of our limbs, the body and everything likewise
he gave us limited ability to understand, limited
ability to comprehend limited ability to see limited
ability to hear limited ability to do something,
everything is limited and these limitations are also
the evidence of the creator the one who
created us he is the one who has
set those limits for us those limitations for
us and but for Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala no limit when we say Allah is
samee and baseer and aleem and khabeer and
hakeem without any limit so since we have
limited ability to comprehend and understand he subhanahu
wa ta'ala addressed us according to our
ability according to our ability that is why
he subhanahu wa ta'ala has used these
terms are there people that
remember like the prophets being asked by Allah,
am I not your lord if you are
asking about the question that Allah created, when
Allah asked all the human beings that obviously
the prophets were included in that mentioned Adam
a.s. can you explain how the children
came into being what was the form when
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala created Adam a
.s. to a certain extent it is mentioned
in the hadith that Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala created Adam a.s. and he was
60 cubic long tall, ok and then what
was the form of the children of Adam
when Allah took that covenant, Allah a.s.
we do not know, they say this is
something that belongs to the knowledge of the
unseen and we don't have that knowledge whatever
happened in the past we don't have the
knowledge of it, whatever is going to happen
in the future we don't have the knowledge
of it unless and until Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala reveals it to us through his
prophets and whatever Allah has revealed to his
prophet and the prophet a.s. has informed
us we know of that, other than that
we do not have any knowledge because we
have limited ability to comprehend how do
you explain to someone that their purpose for
creation is to worship Allah while also emphasizing
the importance of balancing this with their everyday
life, yeah so in order to fulfill your
purpose of creation and how to balance first
of all we need to define the balance
the problem is that each one of us
we have created our own balance someone says
I want to have balance, I want to
have balance between my deen and dunya okay,
my definition of balance is different from your
definition of balance, for example for me for
example the balance between deen and dunya would
be that I must offer five daily prayers,
I must recite five ajza of the Quran
every single day, I must wake up for
salat tahajjud, I must do this, this, this,
all of that yet I am able to
do my daily routine the worldly matter, deal
with my worldly matters as well, this is
a perfect balance for me but for those
who do not have the habit of offering
five daily prayers, if you ask them, their
first answer would be, we are so busy
at work we are so busy, how can
I how can I space some time, because
their understanding of the balance is different and
this is not the right word to use
when you say balance the one who created
us he is the one who defines the
balance for us, and for that balance he
has ordered us to worship him five times
a day because he is the one who
created and he knows how to keep that
balance and the one who created us and
he knows our ability, the one who has
set our limitation, he is the one who
has ordered us to do this, it is
only for us to change our mindset, to
change our mindset and our attitude towards the
worship of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala a
Muslim you know is already questioned the Qadar
of Allah, how can we help them ok,
the matter of Qadar I think is going
to be discussed in one of the classes
later inshallah, then we will discuss the Qadar
how to understand the Qadar and the divine
decree of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala ok,
since humans and the way we have been
created is an evidence for Allah's existence, how
do we understand that there are those who
are born with deformities basically those who are
born with some kind of disabilities or less
abilities or whatever for them to be born
in that way is itself is an evidence
that there is someone who created them, otherwise
someone who is born with a disability or
any kind of you know defect in their
body, in their limbs who would want that
who would want that no one and if
someone is born with some kind of disability
or any you know defect in their body
or deformation within the body or their form
then this itself is an evidence that Allah
is the one who created them, what is
the wisdom we cannot truly understand the wisdom
but there are some reasons that are mentioned
that we can derive from the ayat of
the Quran as well as the hadith of
Rasulullah S.A.W for example the parents
have a disabled child it is a trial
for them it is a long term trial
for them and there are evidence in the
hadith of the Prophet S.A.W that
this kind of trial is one of the
greatest means for them to attain the forgiveness
of Allah S.W.T in this life
for their sins and not only attain the
forgiveness of Allah rather to attain great reward
and while they are going through this trial
of dealing with their disabled child Allah S
.W.T raises their ranks in paradise on
the day of judgment so there are so
many other wisdoms by which Allah S.W
.T creates the human being are there people
that remember being asked by Allah I am
not your lord are there people that remember
being asked by Allah I am not your
lord every single believer who believes in the
existence of Allah that belief is the sign
that they confirm that day when Allah created
them that is why they believe in Allah
so every single believer believes in that how
do you answer someone
who says nothing in this world is in
perfect order like natural disasters and everything is
happening in a chaos ok, not everything happens
in chaos, how many times have you seen
the sun coming from the west how many
times have you seen the heavens falling down
how many times have you seen the moon
coming to the earth how can you say
everything is in chaos it's only limited, few
things that happens by the wisdom of Allah
S.W.T Allah, the one who created
he shows the signs he shows the signs
of his power to us, to believe in
his existence, to believe in his power ok
we have days, nights sun, moon, everything everything
everything is moving according to the plan of
Allah S.W.T how Allah S.W
.T orders them and nothing moves without the
permission of Allah S.W.T, nothing happens
without the permission of Allah and everything happens
in this world by the permission of Allah,
see even the disasters the disaster any kind
of disaster, natural disaster or any disaster, it
happens by the permission of Allah S.W
.T again, that is vast topic that why
these disasters happen, what is the wisdom based
on the ayat of the Quran the hadith
of Rasulullah S.W.T there are so
many benefits we look on the negative side
only and we tend to forget all the
positive ok, and naturally we are inclined towards
looking on the negativity on the negative side
and we tend to forget the positive and
this is something that is natural within human
there are only few human beings who always
look on the positive side ok if you
are afflicted by a problem, by a difficulty
by a calamity in your life you will
be focusing on that one single calamity and
you tend to forget the thousands of the
blessings of Allah why?
because you focus on negative and you you
tend to forget all the positives and this
is how, when any disaster happens, we should
be looking at the positive side as well
and there are always positive and there are
always benefits inshallah, ok inshallah is there anyone
who would like to ask any question from
the floor?
yeah, the brother is saying that Allah has
addressed the argument of the atheists in Surah
Al-Ankabut according to my knowledge Allah addresses
the argument of those who associate partners with
Allah Allah says those who have taken
awliya and the friends besides Allah or gods
besides Allah Allah says they are like the
spider so he's not talking about the atheists
rather those who associate partners but as he
just explained those who apparently say they do
not believe in the existence of a god
or creator they actually believe in so many
creators when they say every single human being
came into existence by himself or herself basically
in other words they're saying that they created
themselves so according to them every human being
is the creator of himself or herself so
many partners so many creators then in this
way you can say yes that you know
Allah says in the Quran Arabic Arabic the
weakest of the house is the house of
the spider ok inshallah Arabic
