He could have guided all of you, you

00:00:02 --> 00:00:03

could have all become Muslim.

00:00:04 --> 00:00:08

But he misguides whom he wants and he

00:00:08 --> 00:00:09

guides whom he wants.

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

So this is something that we need to

00:00:12 --> 00:00:16

understand, that the human being, he has something

00:00:16 --> 00:00:19

which is known as Ikhtiar, a choice.

00:00:20 --> 00:00:25

As for other creations, animals, birds, the sun,

00:00:25 --> 00:00:29

the moon, the mountains, the trees, they have

00:00:29 --> 00:00:32

a procedure that they follow and they are

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

not allowed to go outside of that procedure.

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36

They are not allowed to go outside of

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

those norms.

00:00:38 --> 00:00:42

You will not find, for example, that a

00:00:42 --> 00:00:46

cat or a lion is going to eat

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47

vegetables as a diet.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:51

And you will not find, for example, a

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

cow or a goat that is going to

00:00:53 --> 00:00:54

eat meat for a diet.

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

They will eat what they are supposed to

00:00:57 --> 00:00:57

eat.

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01

However, the human being, he is given the

00:01:01 --> 00:01:04

full choice to eat haram or halal.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:07

He is given the choice to eat vegetables

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08

or meat.

00:01:08 --> 00:01:11

And from the meat which is halal and

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12

the meat which is haram, he has the

00:01:12 --> 00:01:13

choice to do that.

00:01:14 --> 00:01:18

So the human is actually the only creation,

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

or you can say the jinn also, that

00:01:20 --> 00:01:24

has the choice of obeying Allah or disobeying

00:01:24 --> 00:01:24

Allah.
