00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			that they also believe in Tawheed ul-Uluhiyah.
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06
			And we talked about all of this last
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:06
			week.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			And if you remember, we also mentioned that
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:14
			the third category of the Tawheed is Tawheed
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			ul-Asma' wa'l-Sifat.
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			Although al-Asma' wa'l-Sifat is covered
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:24
			within al-Rububiyyah and al-Uluhiyyah, but the
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:29
			scholars have separated it from al-Rububiyyah and
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:33
			al-Uluhiyyah because of a lot of controversy
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:38
			or unfortunately a lot of differences amongst the
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			Muslim groups or the sects or those who
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			call themselves Muslims when it comes to the
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			names of Allah SWT.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			And this is what we are going to
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			talk about insha'Allah in today's session and
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			also next week.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			Tawheed ul-Asma' wa'l-Sifat.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			Tawheed means oneness of Allah.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			Al-Asma' in His names.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			The word al-Asma'.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			Asma' is the plural of Ism.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:14
			The word Ism in Arabic means name.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			Asma' means names.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			And then as-Sifat.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			Tawheed ul-Asma' wa'l-Sifat.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:27
			The word Sifat is the plural of Sifa'.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:32
			Sifa' means characteristic or attribute.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			So Tawheed ul-Asma' wa'l-Sifat, the
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			scholars have combined both together.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			Al-Asma' wa'l-Sifat.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:49
			Instead of saying Tawheed ul-Asma' and Tawheed
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:49
			ul-Sifat.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			It is both together.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:52
			Why?
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:57
			Because there is very close link between Al
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			-Asma' and As-Sifa'.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:02
			Between the names of Allah and the attributes
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:02
			of Allah.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			There is very close link between the two.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			And in today's session insha'Allah we'll be
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:12
			going through some of the basic principles with
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			regards to the names of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18
			ta'ala or the Tawheed ul-Asma'.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:21
			And then next week we'll talk more about
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			As-Sifa' particularly.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:27
			But for now, the very first principle with
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			regards to Tawheed ul-Asma' wa'l-Sifa'.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:34
			Believing in the oneness of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			ta'ala in His names and attributes.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			The very first thing we need to remember
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:42
			is that every single name of Allah subhanahu
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:46
			wa ta'ala has its meaning and it
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:51
			refers to the Divine Essence of Allah subhanahu
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
			wa ta'ala which is in Arabic called
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			Dhaatullah, the Dhaat of Allah, the Divine Essence
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala as well
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:05
			as the attribute that is found within the
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:05
			name.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			For example, in order to understand.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			For example, one of Allah's names is Al
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			-Qadeer.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			Al-Qadeer.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:22
			The word Qadeer comes from Qudra.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			Qudra means power.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			When we say one of Allah's names is
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:33
			Al-Qadeer, it means that Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:37
			ta'ala has the ultimate power over everything.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41
			So the word Qadeer has its own meaning
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:45
			and that meaning is the attribute of Allah.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			So when we say Allah is Al-Qadeer,
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52
			Allah has Qudra, what we have attributed to
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			Allah, His power.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			We believe in the attributes.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			So this is every single name of Allah
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			refers to an attribute as well.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:07
			And there is no name of Allah that
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:10
			has no meaning or there is no name
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			of Allah that has no attribute.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			Every single name of Allah has a meaning
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:19
			and every single name of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:23
			ta'ala has an attribute, such as Al
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:23
			-Qadeer.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27
			Allah is Al-Qadeer, meaning that Allah subhanahu
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			wa ta'ala has the Qudra, He has
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:30
			the power.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			Likewise, when we say Al-Aleem, one of
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			the beautiful names of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:40
			'ala is Al-Aleem, all-knowing.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			The word Al-Aleem comes from Ilm.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			Ilm means knowledge.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:49
			When we say Allah is Al-Aleem, it
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			means that Allah has knowledge.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			So we attribute knowledge to Allah.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			We attribute knowledge to Allah.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:05:00
			Likewise, when we say one of the beautiful
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			names of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:09
			Al-Baseer, all-seeing, all-watching.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			So what we attribute to Allah?
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			The ability or the power of seeing.
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:20
			And we don't say Allah has the name
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23
			Al-Baseer, but without a meaning.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			Why am I highlighting this?
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:31
			Because there are people who do acknowledge and
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			they do believe in the names of Allah,
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			but without the attributes.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			They say Allah Al-Baseer.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:43
			And their understanding is that if we translate
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:47
			the word Al-Baseer as all-seeing, it
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:52
			means that we are indirectly establishing the fact
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			that Allah has eyes.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			And when we say Allah has eyes, it
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:02
			is as if we are resembling Allah subhanahu
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			wa ta'ala or giving likeness to Allah.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:08
			That Allah has eyes as human beings have
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:08
			eyes.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			But this is wrong understanding.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12
			This is wrong.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			It does not mean that you neglect the
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:21
			meaning or you refuse believing in the meanings
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			of the names of Allah.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:28
			Simply, if you are called by a word,
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:33
			you are given a name, and you have
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:36
			no meaning of that name, would you like,
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:40
			would you wish, would you like that particular
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			name for yourself?
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			No one.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			The name your parents have given you, if
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			someone calls you with another name, with another
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:55
			word, and that word has no meaning, it
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:59
			has no meaning, would you like it for
		
00:06:59 --> 00:06:59
			yourself?
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			You won't.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			How is it possible that Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:07
			ta'ala has so many names, and those
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			names have no meaning?
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:12
			It's impossible.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			So this is the very first principle with
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			regards to the names of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			ta'ala we need to be in mind,
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:22
			that every single name of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:26
			ta'ala refers to Allah's divine essence as
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			well as His attribute.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:32
			When we say Al-Qadeer, Al-Qadeer means
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			Allah.
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:38
			When we say As-Samee, by saying As
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			-Samee, we mean Allah.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:44
			By saying Al-Aleem, we mean Allah.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:49
			So all these names refer to Allah Dhul
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:54
			-Jalali wal-Ikram, they refer to one single
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
			divine essence.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:01
			And likewise, every single name of Allah subhanahu
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:04
			wa ta'ala has a meaning, including the
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:05
			word Allah.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			Does anyone know the meaning of the word
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:08
			Allah?
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:17
			Yeah, the word Allah comes from Al-Ilah.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:21
			The only Ilah, Allah.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:25
			And every single name of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			ta'ala is like this.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:31
			So this is the first principle we need
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			to bear in mind with regards to the
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:34
			names of Allah Dhul-Jalali wal-Ikram.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:40
			And there is slight difference between the names
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			and the attributes of Allah Dhul-Jalali wal
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:42
			-Ikram.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			And this difference is very important for us
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			to understand the difference.
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:51
			The names of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			we are going to mention some of the
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:54
			principles with regards to the names.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:59
			But for now remember, the attributes of Allah
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:02
			subhanahu wa ta'ala refer to the characteristics
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:05
			of Allah Dhul-Jalali wal-Ikram with which
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			He subhanahu wa ta'ala has described Himself.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:12
			Anything and everything that He subhanahu wa ta
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:17
			'ala has attributed to Himself, or Rasulullah sallallahu
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:21
			alaihi wasallam has attributed anything to Allah, that
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:25
			is known as attributes or the characteristics of
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:25
			Allah.
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			For example, if you were to read Surah
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:31
			An-Najm, in that Surah Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:34
			ta'ala, towards the end part of Surah
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:35
			An-Najm, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:43
			وَأَنَّهُ هُوَ أَضْحَكَ وَأَبْكَى۟ وَأَنَّهُ هُوَ أَضْحَكَ وَأَبْكَى۟
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:47
			Allah is the one who makes people, who
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			allows, who causes people laugh.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:53
			وَأَبْكَى۟ And He is the one who causes
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:54
			people cry.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			So what is the attribute of Allah here?
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:03
			That Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has the
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:06
			power to make people laugh and He has
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			the power to make people cry.
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:15
			But does it mean that we derive any
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:18
			name of Allah from these words?
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			No, we can't.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:26
			And we are going to talk about this
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			principle a bit more in detail shortly.
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:37
			Likewise, وَكَلَّمَ اللَّهُ مُوسَىٰ تَكْلِيمًا Allah says in
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:40
			the Quran that Allah spoke to Musa a
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:43
			.s. Allah spoke to Musa.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:46
			So what are we attributing to Allah here?
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			The power of speaking.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:49
			Allah speaks.
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala speaks.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:57
			And the speaking is attributed to Allah.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:00
			So the attribute of Allah in this ayah
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			is the power of speaking.
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:06
			In the previous ayah, the power of making
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:11
			people laugh and the power of making people
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:12
			cry.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:17
			وَأَنَّهُ خَلَقَ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ مِنْ نُطْفَتِنَا تُمْنَىٰ
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			If you want to read all these ayahs,
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:22
			you find many attributes of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:26
			ta'ala in those ayahs.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:30
			So, every single name of Allah as we
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:34
			said, every name of Allah contains an attribute
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:35
			of Allah.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:39
			But not every single attribute refers to a
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			name of Allah.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:42
			I hope it is clear.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:49
			Every name of Allah includes or refers or
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			contains an attribute.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:55
			Every name refers to an attribute of Allah.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			But it is not other way around.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:01
			Not every single attribute of Allah because there
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:04
			are attributes of Allah that have no names.
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:10
			For example, in this ayah, Allah spoke to
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:14
			Musa a.s. Is there any word, is
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:17
			there any particular name of Allah that is
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			translated as speaker?
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:22
			No.
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:29
			But speaking, kalam, is an attribute of Allah.
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:32
			That is why Quran is called kalamullah.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:39
			وَإِنْ أَحَدٌ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَسْتَجَارَكَ فَأَجِرْهُ حَتَّىٰ يَسْمَعَ
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:42
			كَلَامَ اللَّهِ The speech of Allah.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:46
			The Quran is the speech of Allah subhanahu
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:46
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:49
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala spoke these words.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			That is why it is our belief, the
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:55
			belief of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah al
		
00:12:55 --> 00:13:00
			-Hadith that we believe that every single word
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:04
			and every single letter of the Quran is
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			spoken by Allah.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08
			That is why it is a great honor
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:11
			for the believers, when they recite the Quran,
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:15
			they are uttering the same words and letters
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18
			that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala first and
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:18
			foremost spoke.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:23
			And then, Jibreel a.s. spoke those words
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			and those letters.
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:29
			Likewise Rasulullah s.a.w. It is a
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:30
			huge and great honor.
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:36
			So, every name of Allah refers to an
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:40
			attribute, but not every single attribute of Allah
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:40
			has a name.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:45
			This is another principle we need to bear
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:46
			in mind.
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:52
			Likewise, the attributes of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:55
			'ala as I said, refer to anything and
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:59
			everything that has been attributed to Allah.
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:03
			For example, in a broader term, in the
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			Quran Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:11
			Surah Al-Fath يَدُوا اللَّهِ فَوْقَ أَيْدِيهِمْ يَدُوا
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:16
			اللَّهِ فَوْقَ أَيْدِيهِمْ Allah's hand was over the
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:20
			hands of the companions رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلْمِجْمَعِينَ when
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:23
			they gave bay'ah to Rasulullah s.a
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:26
			.w. So, what is the attribute of Allah
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:27
			in this ayah?
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:28
			The hand of Allah.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			Anything that is attributed to Allah is called
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			attribute.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:33
			It is the sifah of Allah.
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:36
			The sifah of Allah, the attribute of Allah
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:38
			is that Allah has a hand.
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:43
			In another ayah Allah says وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودِ يَدُوا
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:49
			اللَّهِ مَغْلُولَ The Jews, they said the hand
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:53
			of Allah is maghlula, is tied up.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:15:00
			فَالْيَدَاهُمَ بِسُوطَتَانِ Allah says وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ يَدُوا اللَّهِ
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:05
			مَغْلُولَ غُلَّتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَلُعِنُوا بِمَا قَالُوا Instead, their
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			hands are tied.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:12
			وَلُعِنُوا بِمَا قَالُوا And they are cursed because
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:15
			of what they have uttered about Allah.
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:17
			That Allah's hand is tied.
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			Meaning that Allah does not spend.
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			Allah makes people suffer from poverty.
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:24
			This is what they said.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			As Allah says in another ayah لَقَدْ سَمِعَ
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:30
			اللَّهُ قَوْلَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ فَقِيرٌ وَنَحْنُ
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:35
			أَغْنِيًّا They said, Allah says Allah have heard
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:39
			the bitter and ugly statement of those who
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:43
			said إِنَّ اللَّهَ فَقِيرٌ وَنَحْنُ أَغْنِيًّا Allah is
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:44
			poor and faqeer.
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:46
			And we are the rich and wealthy people.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:50
			That is why Allah asked us to give
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:50
			in His way.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:53
			And Allah Himself does not give to people.
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:58
			So this is what they meant by saying
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			يَدُوا اللَّهِ مَغْلُولًا Allah's hand is tied.
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:04
			Allah says غُلَّتْ أَيْدِهِمْ Their hands are tied
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:04
			up.
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:07
			وَلُعِنُوا بِمَا قَالُوا And they are cursed because
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:08
			of what they have said.
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:16
			بَلْ يَدَاهُ مَبْسُوطَتَانِ In fact, both of Allah's
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:18
			hands are outstretched.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:24
			So in this ayah, what we learn from
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			this ayah that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28
			does not have one hand, rather He has
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:29
			two hands.
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:33
			And the hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			wasallam confirms that.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:40
			And he sallallahu alayhi wasallam also explained.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:43
			He said, Allah has two hands and both
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:46
			of Allah's hands are right hand.
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:49
			It is not as we have right hand
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:50
			and left hand.
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			And we use right hand for good things
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:55
			and left hand for cleaning or bad thing
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:57
			or something that is not liked.
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:59
			But this is not the case with Allah.
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:02
			Both of Allah's hands are right hand.
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:06
			But when we say Allah has hand, does
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:10
			it mean that we say or we believe
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			that Allah's hand is like my hand or
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:14
			your hand with five fingers?
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:19
			And no, if someone believes that, if someone
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:23
			even imagines that, that is against the belief,
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:24
			the core belief.
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:28
			The problem is that when we establish the
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:31
			fact and we believe and we confirm that
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:35
			Allah has hand, those who do not believe
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:39
			in these attributes of Allah, they consider us
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40
			Mujassima.
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:44
			Meaning that we are giving limbs to Allah.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:50
			And in their mind is that when we
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:54
			say Allah has hand, we believe or perhaps
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:57
			we believe that Allah has five fingers and
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:57
			palm.
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00
			We never say this and we have no
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			authority to say this.
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05
			When we say Allah has hand, we also
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:08
			have to confirm laisaka mithlihi shay.
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			Nothing is like Allah.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:14
			When we say Allah has hand, it never
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16
			ever in any form or shape means that
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:19
			Allah has hand like the hand of a
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21
			mankind, of a human being.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			How is it possible?
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:27
			Amongst the human being, two individuals can't have
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:28
			the same hand.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:31
			What makes you to think that when we
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:33
			say Allah has hand, it means or we
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			believe that Allah has hand like this?
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:35
			No.
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:37
			Who said this?
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:39
			Who has the authority to say this?
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:45
			But unfortunately since they consider that they end
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:48
			up refusing believing in these attributes of Allah.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:53
			There are people there who believe that does
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:55
			not mean that Allah has hand.
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:59
			Rather they say hand is a metaphor.
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:04
			It is not in its real meaning.
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:07
			As we say even in English, when you
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:12
			need someone's help, you say, can you give
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:12
			me hand?
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:16
			When you say to someone, can you give
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			me hand, you don't actually literally mean by
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			hand, say you know hand, actual hand.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			Rather what you mean they help, they assistance.
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:27
			Or when you say someone has upper hand,
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:28
			meaning what?
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:30
			They have authority.
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:31
			Okay?
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			So they say when Allah used the word
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:39
			hand for himself, actually Allah meant that Allah
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:40
			has power.
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:41
			Allah helps.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:46
			But our reply, the reply of Ahlus Sunnah
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:49
			wal Jamaah is that there is no need
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:50
			to say this.
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:50
			Why?
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:55
			Why it is impossible for Allah to have
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:55
			hand?
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57
			What's wrong with it?
		
00:19:57 --> 00:20:02
			If Allah meant by using the word by
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:05
			using the word Yad, if Allah meant by
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:09
			it his Qudra, his power, his help, he
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11
			Subhanahu wa ta'ala could have used those
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:12
			words.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:15
			It is clear in the ayat of the
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:16
			Quran.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:21
			The Jews said Allah replied back.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:26
			The hadith of the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			sallam is also clear.
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:32
			He Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says Allah Subhanahu
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			wa ta'ala stretches his hand in the
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			morning.
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:41
			So that the one who has committed sins
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			in the dark of the night, he can
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:44
			repent to Allah.
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:50
			And Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala stretches his
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			hand at night so that the one who
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:55
			has committed sins and has disobeyed Allah during
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			the day, he can repent to Allah.
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:02
			The Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam also used
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			the word hand for Allah Subhanahu wa ta
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:04
			'ala.
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:08
			And who knows Allah better than Rasulullah Sallallahu
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:08
			alayhi wa sallam?
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:10
			No one else.
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:14
			That is why these are also the attributes
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:14
			of Allah.
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:19
			And we should pay in mind while we
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:22
			are talking about these type of attributes of
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:23
			Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:27
			As I said, no one has the ability
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:32
			or authority to describe these attributes of Allah
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:35
			Subhanahu wa ta'ala by saying that these
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:39
			attributes of Allah are like the attributes of
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:40
			human being.
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:42
			Can't be.
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:45
			Because he is Al-Khaliq and we are
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:45
			Makhluq.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			He is a creator and we are created
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			by him Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:55
			For example, when we say Allah is Alim.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			Allah has the knowledge.
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:00
			And you say about an individual that so
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:01
			and so is the person of knowledge.
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:05
			Does it mean that you have said Allah's
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			knowledge is same as the knowledge of an
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:07
			individual?
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:08
			No.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:10
			It is clear.
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:14
			When we say Allah is As-Samee' He
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:15
			is all hearing.
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:18
			And the word Samee' is used in the
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:20
			Quran for human being as well.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:23
			Allah says Faj'alnahu Samee'an Basira We
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:26
			made an Insan, we made mankind, we made
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:29
			human being as Samee'an Basir.
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:31
			And As-Samee'an Basir is Allah's attributes
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:32
			as well.
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:35
			But when we use these words As-Samee
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:37
			'an Basir As-Samee'an Basir for human
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:40
			being and we use these same names, same
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:43
			words for Allah, this means that we are
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:47
			making here the Tamseel of Allah.
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:51
			Are we saying that Allah's hearing and Allah's
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:55
			seeing is same as the hearing and the
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:55
			seeing of human being?
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:56
			No.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:57
			No way.
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:58
			Impossible.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:03
			So when we believe in all these attributes
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05
			and names of Allah and we are clear
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:08
			that the attributes of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:11
			'ala are not like the attributes of human
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:16
			being then what's wrong with believing in the
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:17
			hands of Allah?
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:19
			In the eyes of Allah?
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:24
			Allah use in the Quran Allah said to
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:31
			create and make a ship in front of
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:32
			our eyes.
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:36
			When we say Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:39
			has eye, this mean that we mean that
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:42
			Allah has eye like the eye you and
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:43
			I have?
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:43
			No.
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:46
			You can't say this.
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:50
			But it does not mean we refuse we
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:50
			say no, no, no.
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:53
			Eye doesn't mean the eye of Allah.
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:54
			Allah doesn't have eye.
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			Why would you refuse that?
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:58
			You have to believe in those words.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:02
			If you refuse believing in those words, it
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:04
			is as if you are refusing believing in
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:05
			the ayat of the Quran.
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:07
			That is why.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:09
			This is the reason that the scholars have
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:15
			categorized this particular category of the tawheed separately
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:17
			and they have emphasized a lot on this
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:20
			tawheed al-asmaa wa as-sifat oneness of
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:22
			Allah in his names and attributes.
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:28
			Although al-asmaa wa as-sifat are covered
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:31
			within al-ilah, tawheed al-uluhiya but they
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:35
			have separated it in order to explain and
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:38
			emphasize on the significance and the importance of
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:38
			this.
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			Another principle with regards to the names of
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:51
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is that is
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:54
			based on whatever we have said that all
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			the names of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:24:56 --> 00:25:06
			are tawqeefiyyah tawqeefiyyah tawqeefiyyah means dependent on the
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:09
			evidence of the Quran or the hadith of
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:10
			Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:15
			Every single name of Allah must have an
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:15
			evidence.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:20
			As we just said you cannot derive the
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:23
			name of Allah from the attributes of Allah
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:24
			subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:27
			If there is no name wa annahu huwa
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:31
			abhaka wa abka wa kallamallahu moosa taqleema you
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:35
			cannot make up a name of Allah from
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:38
			these ayat, from these attributes of Allah.
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:43
			If it is not permissible in Arabic how
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:46
			is it permissible in any other language?
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:50
			So the names of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:52
			'ala are tawqeefiyyah meaning and we must be
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:55
			clear on that that Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:25:55 --> 00:26:00
			'ala can be called only by the names
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:03
			that he subhanahu wa ta'ala has chosen
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:07
			for himself or the names that Rasulullah sallallahu
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:09
			alayhi wa sallam has used for Allah Dhul
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:10
			Jalal Ikram.
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:15
			No one else has any authority to make
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:17
			up the names of Allah Dhul Jalal Ikram
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:21
			or use any word and say we mean
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:22
			by this word Allah.
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:27
			I usually give an example of this in
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:30
			Urdu language the word Khuda is very common
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:34
			Khuda and if you say Khuda, what does
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:34
			Khuda mean?
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:38
			You ask anyone those who use the word
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:39
			Khuda if you ask them what do you
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:40
			mean by Khuda?
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:41
			Allah.
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:43
			Is Khuda the name of Allah?
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			Did Allah call himself Khuda?
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:49
			Did the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam call
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:49
			him Khuda?
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:52
			Is there any evidence?
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:53
			No.
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56
			No doubt whatsoever.
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:57
			No one can bring any evidence.
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:01
			If you open that door tomorrow someone else
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:04
			will introduce another word and say this is
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:05
			also the name of Allah.
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:11
			And because of not having that principle people
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:12
			have gone astray.
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:15
			And that is why some of the Sufi
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			scholars they are of the belief and they
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:20
			openly on the stage they say there is
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:25
			no difference between Khuda God, Bhagwan this, Ram,
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:28
			all of them they refer to one which
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:28
			is Allah.
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:29
			No.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:31
			No.
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:34
			We believe in Allah.
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:37
			And our belief is that Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:39
			ta'ala has chosen for himself the most
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:40
			beautiful names.
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:43
			The most beautiful names he has chosen for
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:44
			himself.
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:51
			And no one has the authority to name
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:57
			Allah by making their own words.
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:00
			It's another principle with regards to the names
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:00
			of Allah.
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			That all the names of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:08
			ta'ala are dependent on the evidence from
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:11
			the Quran or the hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12
			alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:21
			Allah says To Allah belong the most beautiful
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:25
			names so call upon Allah by those names.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:28
			Use those names for Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:28
			'ala.
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:33
			Next principle with regards to the names of
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:36
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is that the
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:39
			names of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala are
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:44
			not restricted or limited to any number.
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:49
			This may be surprising, something surprising for some.
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:52
			Because the common concept is that Allah has
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:53
			99 names.
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:55
			Yes?
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:56
			It's very common.
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:58
			Allah has 99 names.
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:04
			But the reality is that Allah's names are
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:05
			countless.
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:08
			They are not restricted to any number.
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:11
			Allah has many names.
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:13
			When we study the ayat of the Quran
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:15
			as well as the hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:16
			alaihi wa sallam, if we were to combine
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:20
			them, we come to know that within the
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:23
			text of the Quran and the hadith combined
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:26
			together, we come to know that they are
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:29
			over more than 100 names of Allah already
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:31
			mentioned in the Quran and in the hadith
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:32
			combined both together.
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:34
			So how can we say that Allah has
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:35
			99 names?
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:41
			The misconception or misunderstanding came from the authentic
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:45
			hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam that
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:48
			is reported by Imam al-Bukhari rahmahullah, in
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:55
			which he sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, that
		
00:29:56 --> 00:30:04
			anyone who learns, memorizes, and repeats 99 names
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:07
			of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he will
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:09
			be granted entry into Jannah.
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:13
			But does that hadith mean that Allah has
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:14
			only 99 names?
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:14
			No.
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:18
			What Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam meant is
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:21
			that anyone who memorizes 99 of the many
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:24
			names of Allah, he will be granted entry
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:24
			into Jannah.
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:26
			This is what Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:26
			meant.
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:29
			You would say what is the evidence that
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:33
			Allah's names are not limited to 99?
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:36
			The evidence is the hadith of Abdullah bin
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:40
			Mas'ud radiyallahu ta'ala Anf that is
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:42
			collected by Imam Ahmad rahmahullah.
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:47
			And the hadith is authentic hadith.
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:49
			Abdullah bin Mas'ud says that the Prophet
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:55
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, that no one
		
00:30:55 --> 00:31:00
			is ever afflicted by any grief, any sadness,
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:05
			any calamity, except that when he says the
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:09
			following dua, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala removes
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:14
			his hardship and changes his grief and sadness
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:15
			into happiness.
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:17
			What is the dua?
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:21
			The dua, I'm sure all of you have
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:24
			heard this dua and this is commonly read,
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:27
			particularly in the month of Ramadan in Salatul
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:29
			Fitr, many of the Imams recite this dua.
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:33
			The dua is Allahumma inni abduk wabnu abdik
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:38
			wabnu amatik, wallah I'm your slave, I'm the
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:41
			son of your slave, and I'm the son
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:42
			of your she-slave.
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:48
			nasiyati biyadik, my forehead is in your hand,
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:52
			mazun fiyah hukmuk, adlun fiyah qada'uk, your
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:56
			judgment regarding me has to come to pass,
		
00:31:56 --> 00:32:00
			adlun fiyah qada'uk, and whatever you decide,
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:02
			whatever you make the judgment with regards to
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:05
			myself, it is based on justice.
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:09
			as'aluka bi kullis min huwalak, oh Allah
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:12
			I ask you by every name that belongs
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:17
			to you, samayta bihi nafsat, every name, every
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:21
			name that you have named yourself with, aw
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:25
			allamtahu, aw anzaltahu fi kitabik, every name that
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:29
			you have revealed in your book, aw allamtahu
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:32
			ahadam min khalqik, every name that you have
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:36
			taught to anyone from your creation, not only
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:41
			human beings, any of your creatures, any name,
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:43
			oh Allah, any of your names that you
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:49
			have taught to anyone amongst your creation, which
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:51
			shows that there are names of Allah that
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:54
			Allah has not taught the human beings, the
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:58
			ayat of the Quran confirm this, tusabbihu lahus
		
00:32:58 --> 00:33:03
			samawatus sab wal ard wa man fihin, seven
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:07
			heavens and the earth, and every single creation
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:09
			of Allah between the heavens and the earth
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:13
			glorifies Allah, and Allah says, wa in min
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:16
			shay'in illa yusabbihu bihamdi, there is nothing,
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:22
			literally nothing, except that it glorifies Allah, walakil
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:26
			la tafqahuna tasbihahum, but you cannot comprehend, you
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:32
			cannot understand how they glorify, so Allah has
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:35
			taught them how to praise Allah, in another
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:37
			ayah, in surah an-nur, Allah says, alam
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:40
			tara anna allaha yusabbihu lahu man fih samawati
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:46
			wal ard, have you not seen that every
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:48
			creation of Allah in the heavens and the
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:51
			earth, glorifies Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, and
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:55
			then he says, kullun qad alima salatahu wa
		
00:33:55 --> 00:34:00
			tasbihah, every creation of Allah has the knowledge,
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:04
			how to glorify Allah, and how to offer
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:08
			their prayer to Allah, in surah al-hajj,
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:11
			Allah says, alam tara anna allaha yusabbihu lahu,
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:14
			have you not seen that every creation of
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:16
			Allah in the heavens and the earth makes
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:19
			sajda before Allah, and then Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:22
			ta'ala made the mention of few of
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:24
			those things, man fih samawati wal ard, wal
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:29
			shams, the sun, the sun makes sajda before
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:33
			Allah, wal qamar, the moon makes sajda before
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:37
			Allah, wal nujum, and the stars, they prostrate
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:39
			before Allah, and then Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:34:39 --> 00:34:41
			'ala makes the mention of some of the
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:46
			objects on this earth, wal shams, wal qamar,
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:51
			wal nujum, wal shajar, wal jibal, wal shajar,
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:55
			and he says, the mountains, the mountains, they
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:57
			make sajda before Allah, have you ever seen
		
00:34:57 --> 00:35:00
			any mountain making sajda before Allah, we don't,
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:05
			we can't comprehend, Allah says, the trees, shajar,
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:08
			the trees, they make sajda to Allah, the
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:11
			tree is standing like this, but Allah says
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:14
			that they make sajda to Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:17
			ta'ala, so meaning is that what we
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:19
			learn from all these ayat, that every single
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:24
			creation of Allah praises Allah, glorifies Allah, they
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:26
			offer their prayer to Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:29
			'ala but we can't comprehend, we can't understand,
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:33
			we don't know, same way the hadith of
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:35
			the Prophet s.a.w. says, O Allah,
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:37
			I ask you by every name that you
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:40
			have named yourself with, every name that you
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:42
			have revealed in your book, and every name
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:45
			that you have taught to anyone of your
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:48
			creation, and then he s.a.w. further
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:54
			says, O Allah, I ask you by every
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:58
			name that you have chosen to keep it
		
00:35:58 --> 00:36:00
			in the knowledge of the unseen with you,
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:03
			the names that you have not revealed to
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:06
			anyone, the hadith of the Prophet s.a
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:08
			.w. confirms that they are names of Allah
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:10
			that Allah has not revealed to everyone, another
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:12
			hadith of the Prophet s.a.w. confirms
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:14
			this, that on the day of judgment, when
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:17
			the Prophet s.a.w. will be granted
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:20
			the permission to intercede on behalf of the
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:23
			entire mankind, to beg Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:26
			'ala to begin the reckoning, at that point,
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:29
			in that long hadith, the Prophet s.a
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:32
			.w. says, when people will approach me and
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:33
			I will accept their request and I will
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:36
			go to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, and
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:38
			then I will place my forehead on the
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:41
			ground in the prostration, in sajda, and I
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:43
			will remain in the state of sujood for
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:50
			seven days, praising Allah, praising Allah, with the
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:52
			words of praise that I do not know
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:55
			in this dunya, rather Allah will inspire me
		
00:36:55 --> 00:36:58
			with those names, with those words of His
		
00:36:58 --> 00:36:59
			praise on the day of judgment.
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:03
			So how can we say Allah has only
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:04
			99 names?
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:07
			The names of Allah are not limited to
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:08
			any number.
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:10
			Imam Ibn Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:13
			him, he combined the ayat of the Quran
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:15
			as various hadiths of Rasulullah s.a.w.
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:18
			and he came to the conclusion that what
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:21
			we find in the text, the text of
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:23
			the Quran and the hadiths of Rasulullah s
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:26
			.a.w. combined together, we come to know
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:29
			that there are over 150 names that we
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:32
			find within the hadiths of the Prophet s
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:33
			.a.w. and the ayat of the Quran.
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:36
			So this is another thing, the names of
		
00:37:36 --> 00:37:39
			Allah are not limited to any number.
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:46
			And the third principle, sorry, another next principle
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:48
			with regards to the names of Allah subhanahu
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:51
			wa ta'ala, is that all of the
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:53
			names of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala are
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:54
			beautiful.
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:57
			What do you mean beautiful?
		
00:37:57 --> 00:38:00
			The beautiful, every name of Allah is beautiful.
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:07
			To Allah belongs the most beautiful names.
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:11
			Every single name of Allah has a meaning
		
00:38:11 --> 00:38:14
			and every single meaning is a beautiful meaning.
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:19
			Every meaning of the names of Allah subhanahu
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:21
			wa ta'ala is beautiful.
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:24
			Which means that none of the names of
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:28
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala contain any negative
		
00:38:28 --> 00:38:33
			meaning or meaning that is disliked.
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:37
			Rather every name of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:42
			'ala is beautiful, hence it has beautiful meaning.
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:49
			And next principle with regards to the names
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:52
			of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is that
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:55
			calling others by the names of Allah subhanahu
		
00:38:55 --> 00:39:00
			wa ta'ala generally is impermissible with some
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:00
			exceptions.
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:05
			Calling others by the names of Allah.
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:09
			As you mentioned a few lessons a few
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:13
			weeks ago, that one of the common mistakes
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:16
			we find amongst the Muslims that they call
		
00:39:16 --> 00:39:18
			or they name their children Rahman.
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:21
			Rahman is the beautiful name of Allah.
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:26
			And if you understand the meaning you come
		
00:39:26 --> 00:39:30
			to know that this word does not befit
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:31
			a human being.
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:36
			Rahman it befits Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:40
			because Rahman means someone who showers his mercy
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:44
			upon everyone without discrimination.
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:48
			How can a human being have such kind
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:49
			of mercy?
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:50
			Someone hurts you.
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:52
			Someone swears at you.
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:54
			Would you have any kind of mercy towards
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:55
			them?
		
00:39:55 --> 00:39:55
			No.
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:57
			No way.
		
00:39:58 --> 00:39:59
			It is the case with Allah.
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:02
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala shows his mercy
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:05
			to those who associate partners with him.
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:09
			He showers his mercy on those who do
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:10
			not even believe in him.
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:14
			Those who do not believe in his existence,
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:16
			he still showers his mercy upon them.
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:19
			It is because of his mercy that they
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:21
			live the life of this dunya.
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:23
			It is because of his mercy that they
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:27
			breathe, they eat, they drink, they enjoy the
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:27
			life of this dunya.
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:28
			It is his mercy.
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:31
			That is why he is called Rahman.
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:32
			Ar-Rahman.
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:36
			So, the general principle is that calling anyone
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:39
			by the name of Allah is impermissible with
		
00:40:39 --> 00:40:39
			some exception.
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:41
			And there is a detail.
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:46
			And the exception is there are names of
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:50
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that hold the
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:52
			meaning of perfection and might.
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:56
			Any name of Allah that has the meaning
		
00:40:56 --> 00:40:59
			of might and perfection, that word or that
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:03
			name cannot be used for anyone other than
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:03
			Allah.
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:05
			I just gave an example of Ar-Rahman.
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:09
			Someone who is perfect in giving and showing
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:10
			his mercy.
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:12
			That is Ar-Rahman, Allah.
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:15
			And that is the name that holds perfection,
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:17
			that indicates perfection in mercy.
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:21
			And no one has the ability, no one.
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:24
			So no one should be called Rahman other
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:25
			than Allah Dhul Jalal Ikram.
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:26
			It's only Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:29
			If you want to name your child, call
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:32
			him Abdul Rahman and spell it one single
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:32
			word.
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:35
			Not Abdul and Rahman, Abdul first name and
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:36
			Rahman surname.
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:36
			No.
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:39
			It's one name, one word.
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:43
			Exactly the same way you spell Abdullah.
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:45
			You say Abd Allah?
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:49
			Have you ever seen anyone saying Abd first
		
00:41:49 --> 00:41:50
			name, Allah second name?
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:51
			No.
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:54
			Rather, you say Abdullah.
		
00:41:55 --> 00:41:55
			You know why?
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:59
			Because you know that Allah can be called
		
00:41:59 --> 00:41:59
			only Allah.
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:01
			No one else can be called Allah.
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:05
			Same way, Ar-Rahman is only Allah.
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:08
			No one can be called Ar-Rahman other
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:09
			than Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:12
			So spell it together, Abdul Rahman.
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:15
			So that is the name of perfection.
		
00:42:16 --> 00:42:18
			And these names can not be given to
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:21
			anyone other than Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:22
			Likewise, As-Samad.
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:24
			As-Samad.
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:30
			As-Samad means the one who is self
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:30
			-sufficient.
		
00:42:31 --> 00:42:32
			Completely.
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:35
			Someone who is not in need of anyone.
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:40
			Who amongst the human being can be such
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:42
			an individual who does not need anyone?
		
00:42:44 --> 00:42:45
			No one.
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:46
			It is only Allah.
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:47
			As-Samad.
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:49
			Okay?
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:50
			And there are some other names.
		
00:42:51 --> 00:42:54
			And one of those names as Rasulullah sallallahu
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:57
			alayhi wa sallam has specifically highlighted by saying,
		
00:42:58 --> 00:43:00
			don't call anyone Malik-ul-Muluk.
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:02
			Malik-ul-Muluk.
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:06
			Malik-ul-Muluk means the king of the
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:06
			kings.
		
00:43:07 --> 00:43:09
			The king of the kings is only one
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:10
			king, Allah.
		
00:43:11 --> 00:43:12
			The real king.
		
00:43:12 --> 00:43:13
			Malik.
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:14
			Malik-in-Nas.
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:16
			He is the one who is Malik-ul
		
00:43:16 --> 00:43:16
			-Muluk.
		
00:43:17 --> 00:43:20
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, the
		
00:43:20 --> 00:43:24
			most hated name by Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:26
			'ala on the day of judgment would be
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:28
			the name of the person or the title
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:30
			of the person who is called Malik-ul
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:30
			-Muluk.
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:32
			The king of the kings in this dunya.
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:35
			No one is king of the kings.
		
00:43:35 --> 00:43:36
			It's only Allah.
		
00:43:37 --> 00:43:40
			So, the point is that those words and
		
00:43:40 --> 00:43:43
			those names of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:47
			that indicate perfection or might that can be
		
00:43:47 --> 00:43:49
			given to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala only
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:52
			and they are not permissible to use for
		
00:43:52 --> 00:43:55
			anyone other than Allah-ul-Jalal-ul-Ikram.
		
00:43:55 --> 00:43:59
			Also, the names of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:43:59 --> 00:44:01
			'ala they are amongst the names of Allah
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:06
			that they are meaning-wise, they are praiseworthy
		
00:44:06 --> 00:44:10
			for Allah but the same word is not
		
00:44:10 --> 00:44:12
			praiseworthy for human being.
		
00:44:13 --> 00:44:16
			Such as the name of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:17
			ta'ala, Al-Mutakabbir.
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:19
			Allah is Al-Mutakabbir.
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:24
			Al-Mutakabbir is the one Al-Mutakabbir comes
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:29
			from Kabir or Kabura, Akbar Allahu Akbar the
		
00:44:29 --> 00:44:33
			one who is who has the authority to
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:34
			be called greatest.
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:38
			This is one, this how we translate the
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:41
			word Al-Mutakabbir, the supreme.
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:42
			Okay.
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:45
			Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, that is why
		
00:44:45 --> 00:44:47
			he said, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:48
			Al-Mutakabbir.
		
00:44:48 --> 00:44:54
			He has, he is supreme in every single
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:55
			way.
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:57
			He is supreme subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:44:58 --> 00:45:01
			But when we use the word Mutakabbir for
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:03
			anyone amongst the human being, what do you
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:04
			mean by this Mutakabbir?
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:06
			Someone who is arrogant.
		
00:45:07 --> 00:45:10
			So, can you call someone Mutakabbir?
		
00:45:10 --> 00:45:11
			No, you can't.
		
00:45:12 --> 00:45:13
			Although the word is the same.
		
00:45:14 --> 00:45:19
			Likewise, Al-Qahhar Al-Qahhar comes from Qahhar.
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:22
			Qahhar, when we use for human being, it
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:25
			refers to oppression and zulm.
		
00:45:25 --> 00:45:27
			But for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:31
			word Al-Qahhar means all dominant.
		
00:45:32 --> 00:45:34
			The one who has power over everything.
		
00:45:35 --> 00:45:37
			So, these kind of words, these names are
		
00:45:37 --> 00:45:39
			only for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:42
			But there are other names of Allah that
		
00:45:42 --> 00:45:44
			can be used for other than Allah subhanahu
		
00:45:44 --> 00:45:46
			wa ta'ala such as the names that
		
00:45:46 --> 00:45:49
			are used in the Qur'an for human
		
00:45:49 --> 00:45:49
			being.
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:53
			As I said early on, the word Samee,
		
00:45:53 --> 00:45:56
			Baseer, Alim, Raoof, Rahim.
		
00:45:57 --> 00:45:58
			These words, but without Al.
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:00
			Without Al.
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:03
			Al, Ar-Rahim is Allah.
		
00:46:04 --> 00:46:06
			Ar-Raoof is Allah.
		
00:46:07 --> 00:46:08
			As-Samee is Allah.
		
00:46:08 --> 00:46:10
			Al-Baseer is Allah.
		
00:46:10 --> 00:46:12
			Al-Kareem is Allah.
		
00:46:12 --> 00:46:15
			For human being, you can say Kareem, Hakeem,
		
00:46:16 --> 00:46:20
			Alim, Samee, Baseer, Raoof, Rahim.
		
00:46:21 --> 00:46:24
			So, these words can be used for other
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:26
			than Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala without using
		
00:46:26 --> 00:46:30
			the word, without using the letter Alif-Lam
		
00:46:30 --> 00:46:32
			-Lam- Al-Tarif that is known in
		
00:46:32 --> 00:46:33
			Arabic grammar without these.
		
00:46:34 --> 00:46:37
			So, the principle, general principle is that the
		
00:46:37 --> 00:46:39
			names of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala cannot
		
00:46:39 --> 00:46:43
			be given to anyone with these, some of
		
00:46:43 --> 00:46:44
			these exceptions.
		
00:46:45 --> 00:46:48
			And finally, the last principle with regards to
		
00:46:48 --> 00:46:50
			the names of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:46:50 --> 00:46:55
			is that it is not permissible to deviate
		
00:46:55 --> 00:46:58
			in the names of Allah, to have deviation
		
00:46:58 --> 00:46:59
			in the name of Allah.
		
00:46:59 --> 00:47:00
			What is the deviation in the names of
		
00:47:00 --> 00:47:00
			Allah?
		
00:47:01 --> 00:47:04
			Deviation comes in many forms.
		
00:47:05 --> 00:47:07
			Deviation in the names of Allah, one of
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:09
			the form of the deviation in the name
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:14
			of Allah is that you refuse accepting the
		
00:47:14 --> 00:47:17
			meanings, as he said at the start, you
		
00:47:17 --> 00:47:20
			refuse accepting the meanings of those names.
		
00:47:20 --> 00:47:21
			This is deviation.
		
00:47:22 --> 00:47:24
			So, you end up refusing the meaning.
		
00:47:25 --> 00:47:26
			You see, Allah is Samee.
		
00:47:26 --> 00:47:27
			What is the meaning of Samee?
		
00:47:28 --> 00:47:28
			We don't know.
		
00:47:29 --> 00:47:30
			Allah is Al-Baseer.
		
00:47:30 --> 00:47:30
			What is the meaning?
		
00:47:31 --> 00:47:31
			We don't know.
		
00:47:32 --> 00:47:33
			Allah is Al-Hayy.
		
00:47:34 --> 00:47:37
			Al-Hayy comes from Hayyah, life, he is
		
00:47:37 --> 00:47:37
			ever living.
		
00:47:39 --> 00:47:40
			But you say Allah is Al-Hayy.
		
00:47:41 --> 00:47:42
			What is the meaning of Al-Hayy?
		
00:47:42 --> 00:47:43
			We don't know.
		
00:47:45 --> 00:47:45
			You can't say this.
		
00:47:45 --> 00:47:46
			This is deviation.
		
00:47:47 --> 00:47:49
			Every single name of Allah has a meaning.
		
00:47:50 --> 00:47:53
			Or, another form of deviation is that you
		
00:47:53 --> 00:47:57
			believe in some of the names of Allah,
		
00:47:57 --> 00:48:00
			some of the names of Allah and you
		
00:48:00 --> 00:48:03
			refuse to accept the meaning of some other
		
00:48:03 --> 00:48:04
			names of Allah.
		
00:48:05 --> 00:48:08
			Because amongst the deviant sects are those who
		
00:48:08 --> 00:48:11
			say that we believe and we accept all
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:13
			the names of Allah apart from these three
		
00:48:13 --> 00:48:14
			or these seven.
		
00:48:16 --> 00:48:16
			Okay.
		
00:48:16 --> 00:48:18
			They have categorized themselves.
		
00:48:20 --> 00:48:22
			But this is the deviation in the names
		
00:48:22 --> 00:48:23
			of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:48:24 --> 00:48:28
			Another form of deviation is that as it
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:29
			used to happen in the past.
		
00:48:31 --> 00:48:32
			And we don't know even if it is
		
00:48:32 --> 00:48:33
			happening.
		
00:48:33 --> 00:48:35
			Even it does to a certain extent.
		
00:48:36 --> 00:48:36
			It does happen now.
		
00:48:37 --> 00:48:42
			In the past, those who worshipped the idols,
		
00:48:43 --> 00:48:48
			they would name their idols taking their names
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:51
			from the names of Allah or some words
		
00:48:51 --> 00:48:53
			from the names of Allah.
		
00:48:53 --> 00:48:54
			It's a deviation.
		
00:48:54 --> 00:48:57
			For example, the people of Mecca, one of
		
00:48:57 --> 00:49:01
			the idols, they called that idol Allat.
		
00:49:03 --> 00:49:05
			And they used to say Allat comes from
		
00:49:05 --> 00:49:06
			Allah.
		
00:49:07 --> 00:49:09
			That is why we call this idol Allat.
		
00:49:10 --> 00:49:12
			Because it has a close link with Allah
		
00:49:12 --> 00:49:13
			Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:17
			They used to call another idol as Al
		
00:49:17 --> 00:49:17
			-Uzza.
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:21
			And they even used to name their children
		
00:49:21 --> 00:49:22
			Abdul Uzza.
		
00:49:23 --> 00:49:23
			Abu Lahab.
		
00:49:23 --> 00:49:26
			Abu Lahab's real name was Abdul Uzza.
		
00:49:27 --> 00:49:28
			Abdul Uzza.
		
00:49:28 --> 00:49:31
			And Uzza was the name of the idol.
		
00:49:31 --> 00:49:33
			And they derived the word Uzza from the
		
00:49:33 --> 00:49:35
			name of Allah Al-Aziz.
		
00:49:36 --> 00:49:38
			Okay, so this is a deviation in the
		
00:49:38 --> 00:49:40
			names of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:49:41 --> 00:49:44
			And likewise, if there is any kind of
		
00:49:44 --> 00:49:48
			similar words or similar name that you use
		
00:49:48 --> 00:49:51
			for other than Allah, deriving from the names
		
00:49:51 --> 00:49:53
			of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, it is
		
00:49:53 --> 00:49:54
			impermissible.
		
00:49:54 --> 00:49:58
			Unfortunately, they are ghali.
		
00:49:59 --> 00:50:00
			Ghali Sufis.
		
00:50:01 --> 00:50:05
			Those who go overboard in praising the Prophet
		
00:50:05 --> 00:50:06
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:50:07 --> 00:50:09
			They have fallen into this type of shirk.
		
00:50:11 --> 00:50:13
			And it is something that I am not
		
00:50:13 --> 00:50:14
			making up.
		
00:50:14 --> 00:50:16
			Rather this is something that is written in
		
00:50:16 --> 00:50:17
			their books.
		
00:50:17 --> 00:50:18
			Published.
		
00:50:19 --> 00:50:20
			Published.
		
00:50:21 --> 00:50:25
			They say Allah one of the names of
		
00:50:25 --> 00:50:27
			Allah is Al-Ahad.
		
00:50:28 --> 00:50:29
			Al-Ahad.
		
00:50:29 --> 00:50:33
			In Surah Al-Ikhlas, we have Ahad.
		
00:50:33 --> 00:50:35
			One of the names of Allah, Ahad.
		
00:50:35 --> 00:50:37
			And one of the names of the Prophet
		
00:50:37 --> 00:50:39
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is Ahmed.
		
00:50:41 --> 00:50:42
			Yes, Ahmed.
		
00:50:42 --> 00:50:45
			So they believe there is no difference between
		
00:50:45 --> 00:50:48
			Allah and Muhammad apart from the letter Meem.
		
00:50:49 --> 00:50:50
			Audhu Billahi.
		
00:50:51 --> 00:50:52
			This is something that is written.
		
00:50:53 --> 00:50:53
			Written.
		
00:50:53 --> 00:50:54
			Published in their books.
		
00:50:56 --> 00:50:58
			And they are the ones who call themselves
		
00:50:58 --> 00:50:58
			Muslims.
		
00:50:59 --> 00:51:01
			Deviation in the names of Allah.
		
00:51:02 --> 00:51:05
			Deviation in the names of Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:51:05 --> 00:51:05
			Ta'ala.
		
00:51:05 --> 00:51:06
			It's impermissible.
		
00:51:06 --> 00:51:08
			Allah says in the Quran, Wa Lillahi Al
		
00:51:08 --> 00:51:11
			-Asma'u Al-Husna Fa Da'uhu Biha.
		
00:51:12 --> 00:51:14
			To Allah belongs the most beautiful names.
		
00:51:14 --> 00:51:15
			So call upon Allah by those names.
		
00:51:15 --> 00:51:18
			Wa Dharu Al-Ladhina Yulhiduna Fi Asma'ih.
		
00:51:19 --> 00:51:23
			And leave those or stay away from those
		
00:51:23 --> 00:51:25
			who do Ilhad in the name of Allah.
		
00:51:26 --> 00:51:28
			Those who deviate in the names of Allah
		
00:51:28 --> 00:51:29
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:51:30 --> 00:51:32
			May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala give us
		
00:51:32 --> 00:51:35
			Tawfiq and ability to understand his Tawheed.
		
00:51:35 --> 00:51:38
			And may Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala increase
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:39
			us all in our knowledge.
		
00:51:40 --> 00:51:41
			Innahu Sami'un Qarim Mujeeb.
		
00:51:42 --> 00:51:44
			I think we have gone over time Insha
		
00:51:44 --> 00:51:44
			'Allah.
		
00:51:44 --> 00:51:47
			So, can we deal with the question next
		
00:51:47 --> 00:51:48
			week Insha'Allah.
		
00:51:48 --> 00:51:51
			Because next week will be those brothers and
		
00:51:51 --> 00:51:53
			sisters who have posted the questions online.
		
00:51:54 --> 00:51:56
			Please if you remember your question, I will
		
00:51:56 --> 00:51:57
			deal with your question next week Insha'Allah.
		
00:51:58 --> 00:51:59
			Jazakumullah Khairan.
		
00:51:59 --> 00:52:01
			Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika.
		
00:52:01 --> 00:52:03
			Ashadu wa la ilaha ila anta astaghfiru qatubu
		
00:52:03 --> 00:52:03
			ilayh.
