Summary

TLDRThe talk begins with the traditional Islamic invocation and praises for Allah and the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It then moves into an explanation of Iman (faith) in Islam, discussing how it encompasses actions of the heart and actions performed outwardly in accordance with Islamic teachings. Iman is said to have many branches, with the declaration of faith being the highest and acts like removing harm from the path being the lowest. At its core, faith is defined by belief in six fundamentals: Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Day of Judgment, and divine destiny (Qadr). Believing in Allah involves accepting His existence, His absolute lordship, His exclusive right to be worshipped, and His names and attributes. The existence of God is described as self-evident, reflecting the innate nature (Fitrah) of humanity to recognize and accept a creator. Logical and instinctual arguments are presented to affirm the reality of Allah. Emphasis is placed on understanding Allah’s attributes, which guide believers in how to worship Him without associating partners and help cultivate qualities like humility, forgiveness, and generosity. Understanding the pillars of Iman strengthens one’s faith and ensures the minimum level of belief necessary to qualify as a Muslim. The discourse ends with personal and societal applications of these beliefs, underlining their importance in guiding ethical and purposeful living.

Timeline

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    The discussion begins with a significant emphasis on the pillars of Iman (faith) in Islam, which encompasses belief beyond mere internal conviction. According to Quranic teachings and Hadiths, Iman includes numerous components, with the highest being the proclamation of Tawhid (oneness of Allah) and the lowest being acts of goodness such as removing harm from paths. The fundamentals of Iman, indispensable for Muslim identity, are introduced through the narration of the Prophet Muhammad’s encounter with the Archangel Gabriel, outlining the six pillars of faith crucial for a Muslim.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    A deep dive into the first pillar of Iman, belief in Allah, outlines that faith in Allah's existence is anchored on four pillars. These involve acknowledgment of Allah's existence, rejection of the notion of God as a social construct, and understanding creation as evidence of Allah's existence. The section also explores the 'fitrah' (natural instinct) which inherently guides humans toward belief in a Creator without needing tangible proof, highlighting philosophical discussions around the existence of God.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    The text refutes atheism by asserting the natural inclination of humans towards belief in a Creator. It argues that the logical necessity for a prime effector, which is Allah, cannot be overlooked. This covers the futility of attributing creation to chance or random occurrences and emphasizes Allah as the omnipotent beginning and sustainer of existence. To further reinforce this belief, the magnificence and precision in the universe’s design are used as evidence of Allah’s role as the master designer and guide.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:20:00

    Further exploration into Allah’s rububiyyah (Lordship) stresses that Allah alone manages creation, sustenance, ownership, and planning without partners, debunking polytheistic notions. It also emphasizes the importance of worshipping Allah alone (tawhid al-ibadah), illustrating that obedience in worship is His exclusive right. Historical references to Iblis and stipulations in hadith underscore the consequences of failing to maintain such monotheistic worship.

  • 00:20:00 - 00:27:42

    The final discussion elaborates on Allah’s names and attributes, which are fundamental for understanding His unique qualities. The significance of Allah's 99 names, their application in life, and the promotion of desirable attributes within individuals are discussed. The text stresses the need to approach Allah’s attributes without anthropomorphism or denial, aiming for genuine worship born from an understanding of His unparalleled nature. This marks the conclusion of the discourse on belief in Allah and His attributes.

  • 00:03:22
    Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be

    believe in destiny the good of it and
  • 00:03:44
    the evil so this is what is known as the
  • 00:03:48
    very pillars the six pillars of Eman the
  • 00:03:50
    pillars of faith and inshallah we'll try
  • 00:03:52
    our best in this session to summarize
  • 00:03:54
    what it means
  • 00:03:56
    the very first pillar of a man the
  • 00:03:57
    greatest pillar of Eman to believe in
  • 00:03:59
    Allah so to believe in Allah the angels
  • 00:04:03
    the books the messengers the last day
  • 00:04:04
    and destiny father this is all the bare
  • 00:04:07
    minimum requirements for you to have the
  • 00:04:10
    seed of Eman remaining in your hearts
  • 00:04:12
    the first of them is belief in Allah
  • 00:04:16
    what does it mean to believe in Allah
  • 00:04:19
    and this is key to understand it can be
  • 00:04:23
    said
  • 00:04:24
    for simplicity that believing in Allah
  • 00:04:27
    can stand on four pillars deficiency or
  • 00:04:32
    a flaw in any one of these four pillars
  • 00:04:35
    can possibly render a person's belief in
  • 00:04:39
    Allah invalid what are these four
  • 00:04:42
    pillars the first of them is to believe
  • 00:04:46
    in Allah existence to believe in the
  • 00:04:50
    existence of Almighty God that God as
  • 00:04:53
    some people say is a social construct no
  • 00:04:56
    the concept of God no the reality of the
  • 00:04:59
    existence of the creator of the heavens
  • 00:05:01
    and the earth
  • 00:05:02
    allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala the exalted
  • 00:05:04
    and the glorified and the high a person
  • 00:05:07
    may throw forward a claim what's the
  • 00:05:09
    proof that God exists not a Muslim of
  • 00:05:13
    course but this whisper this thought may
  • 00:05:16
    pass the proofs to the existence of
  • 00:05:21
    Allah are as numerous as the creations
  • 00:05:25
    of Allah every single thing in existence
  • 00:05:29
    which Allah put into existence whatever
  • 00:05:33
    is not Allah is creation right so
  • 00:05:35
    everything in creation is proof that he
  • 00:05:38
    is Almighty God he is the one and only
  • 00:05:40
    the greatest of these proofs to be brief
  • 00:05:44
    is not a logical argument it's not a
  • 00:05:49
    scientific miracle the most powerful of
  • 00:05:51
    these proofs should I say is what is
  • 00:05:54
    known as instinct or should we say fit
  • 00:05:57
    Torah the Islamic term which what is
  • 00:06:00
    fitrah philtrum means a person's natural
  • 00:06:02
    original disposition he was disposed he
  • 00:06:05
    was created in this manner that he
  • 00:06:07
    recognizes that he has a creator that he
  • 00:06:10
    has a designer someone that brought him
  • 00:06:13
    into existence this does not need proofs
  • 00:06:16
    it does not need a person to have an
  • 00:06:19
    education or a certain degree of
  • 00:06:22
    scholarship to know this is why when one
  • 00:06:24
    of the simple Muslims was told about one
  • 00:06:29
    of the philosophers within Islam in
  • 00:06:32
    history they said you know who this man
  • 00:06:34
    is he this
  • 00:06:35
    man has argued a thousand proofs to
  • 00:06:38
    prove thousand arguments to prove that
  • 00:06:42
    God exists
  • 00:06:43
    she said that he must have a thousand
  • 00:06:44
    doubts is there even a doubt to need to
  • 00:06:47
    prove lmm jaw for assault for the allahu
  • 00:06:52
    allah and it is mentioned about him that
  • 00:06:54
    a person asked him what's the proof that
  • 00:06:56
    god exists he said have you ever been on
  • 00:06:58
    a ship and the storm became wild and the
  • 00:07:03
    waves are about to overturn the boat and
  • 00:07:05
    you had no reason to hope that you would
  • 00:07:08
    survive but still you had some hope he
  • 00:07:12
    said yes you don't know how you're going
  • 00:07:13
    to be saved but you're still hoping that
  • 00:07:15
    there's a you believe there is a
  • 00:07:16
    possibility you may be saved he said yes
  • 00:07:18
    he said that's Allah this is the proof
  • 00:07:21
    of fitrah the Prophet Muhammad peace and
  • 00:07:24
    blessings be upon him he said every
  • 00:07:26
    human being is born upon this earth
  • 00:07:27
    through this natural inclination or
  • 00:07:29
    disposition or creed that Allah exists
  • 00:07:32
    so we say that a person if he's born in
  • 00:07:35
    an island no outside influence of
  • 00:07:37
    Shaitaan or the devil right or the human
  • 00:07:39
    beings that
  • 00:07:41
    invented this belief he would believe
  • 00:07:44
    that he has a creator and that's why we
  • 00:07:49
    say Islamically when they people tell us
  • 00:07:52
    we are atheists we don't believe that
  • 00:07:54
    God exists we tell them and we believe
  • 00:07:57
    that atheists don't exist why because in
  • 00:08:02
    reality there's no such thing as an
  • 00:08:04
    atheist they say there's no such thing
  • 00:08:06
    as God no the reality those are thing is
  • 00:08:07
    an atheist there's no such thing as
  • 00:08:09
    someone who really believes God doesn't
  • 00:08:11
    exist maybe over the years he's actively
  • 00:08:14
    convinced himself or convinced others
  • 00:08:17
    that God doesn't exist but deep down
  • 00:08:19
    inside they know this is a lie and I've
  • 00:08:21
    lost to Panama without that exalted on
  • 00:08:23
    the high he says in the Quran indeed the
  • 00:08:25
    human being knows what he's doing
  • 00:08:28
    well kkona idea even if he sends forth
  • 00:08:31
    excuses he may convince the person in
  • 00:08:34
    front of him or confuse him into
  • 00:08:37
    thinking that perhaps that really
  • 00:08:38
    doesn't exist but deep down inside he
  • 00:08:40
    himself knows it's the presenter of that
  • 00:08:42
    arguments also of the proofs after
  • 00:08:46
    fitara after this natural inclination
  • 00:08:49
    of the proofs that God exists is simple
  • 00:08:51
    logic whether or not you believe in the
  • 00:08:54
    Quran Allah presents a brilliant
  • 00:08:55
    argument in the Quran for the one that
  • 00:08:57
    wishes to reflect one whose heart is
  • 00:08:59
    still open and his mind is still working
  • 00:09:00
    he doesn't disable his reason for
  • 00:09:04
    whatever reason he says I'm holy poem in
  • 00:09:07
    a very che in a MooMoo Holly poon where
  • 00:09:09
    they created out of nothing or were they
  • 00:09:12
    themselves the creators the scholars and
  • 00:09:15
    I commented on this verse they said look
  • 00:09:16
    at this verse look how brilliant it left
  • 00:09:18
    no place to run for the one that wants
  • 00:09:20
    to be hard-headed were they created out
  • 00:09:22
    of nothing you said I wasn't created at
  • 00:09:24
    all I was always there how illogical you
  • 00:09:29
    weren't always there you know you
  • 00:09:30
    weren't always there say okay maybe I
  • 00:09:32
    was created out of nothing how illogical
  • 00:09:34
    you don't know anything that came out of
  • 00:09:36
    nothing why do you insist that you were
  • 00:09:38
    the one that came out of nothing or you
  • 00:09:41
    can say maybe I created myself how
  • 00:09:44
    illogical you created yourself and you
  • 00:09:47
    can't do it again repeat it or else
  • 00:09:49
    you're lying to yourself and to others
  • 00:09:52
    the only exit from this argument is to
  • 00:09:57
    submit to it say indeed I must have a
  • 00:09:59
    creator
  • 00:10:01
    any person that walks around and sees
  • 00:10:06
    effects in the world you know there is
  • 00:10:09
    no effect without an effector a cause
  • 00:10:11
    therefore that effect you see footsteps
  • 00:10:13
    in the sand you don't believe that this
  • 00:10:15
    happened just randomly the wave came and
  • 00:10:17
    put footsteps in the scent or just out
  • 00:10:21
    of chaos all this order came together
  • 00:10:22
    you don't believe that if you throw your
  • 00:10:25
    iphone 4s on the ground and destroy it
  • 00:10:28
    tomorrow morning by itself the wind is
  • 00:10:30
    going to come and put together the
  • 00:10:31
    iPhone 5 the Steve Jobs didn't leave for
  • 00:10:33
    us before he died right it's illogical
  • 00:10:38
    rather everything has a cause but this
  • 00:10:41
    can't go on forever because if every
  • 00:10:44
    single thing had a cause all right
  • 00:10:45
    without any exceptions then nothing
  • 00:10:48
    would exist everything would be waiting
  • 00:10:49
    on something before it right so there
  • 00:10:51
    has to be an original prime effector and
  • 00:10:56
    this is allah subhana wa tada the one
  • 00:11:00
    that is that outer beginning
  • 00:11:01
    the one that everyone and everything
  • 00:11:04
    depends on him and he doesn't depend on
  • 00:11:06
    anyone or anything at any time
  • 00:11:08
    logic this has to be it also of the
  • 00:11:13
    proofs of the existence of Allah is the
  • 00:11:17
    entire universe that we discussed its
  • 00:11:19
    design its creation its balance Allah
  • 00:11:25
    says in the Quran said bhisma of bikal
  • 00:11:28
    allah exalted the praises of your Lord
  • 00:11:31
    the Most High
  • 00:11:32
    I let the halacha vessel wa the one who
  • 00:11:37
    creates it and then he fashioned he
  • 00:11:39
    perfected
  • 00:11:40
    well let the Hodari fur header and the
  • 00:11:44
    one who portioned and then he guided
  • 00:11:48
    indeed created out of nothing without a
  • 00:11:51
    prior model brought into existence with
  • 00:11:54
    a statement be and it was Facel wa and
  • 00:12:00
    then he designed and then he portioned
  • 00:12:03
    and balanced and then he guided look how
  • 00:12:06
    he designed the son to be a certain
  • 00:12:08
    distance from us word a little farther
  • 00:12:11
    the world would be an ice age would be
  • 00:12:13
    able to live where he to bring it a
  • 00:12:15
    little closer it would be a scorching
  • 00:12:17
    desert no one will be able to live and
  • 00:12:18
    then he balanced this universe this
  • 00:12:21
    earth they say that the percentage of
  • 00:12:24
    our air that we breathe being oxygen is
  • 00:12:28
    21% a perfect balance they say if it was
  • 00:12:32
    50% the first spark with the first match
  • 00:12:35
    the whole earth would engulfed in flames
  • 00:12:36
    perfect balance after he bounded and he
  • 00:12:40
    guided the baby comes out of the
  • 00:12:44
    mother's stomach it has already been
  • 00:12:46
    guided to that which it can survive with
  • 00:12:48
    right it knows to suckle who taught have
  • 00:12:50
    to suckle the animal is born knowing how
  • 00:12:54
    to fish its own food the plant when the
  • 00:12:59
    seed sprouts the root knows to go down
  • 00:13:01
    to get the water and the stalk knows to
  • 00:13:03
    go up because there's going to be some
  • 00:13:04
    light once we get past the soil guided
  • 00:13:06
    everything you bring a horse a horse not
  • 00:13:08
    an intelligence creature in the manner
  • 00:13:10
    that human is bring them to a cliff he
  • 00:13:12
    is guided to know that no matter how
  • 00:13:14
    she whipped him his nun and jump he
  • 00:13:17
    knows he hasn't tried it before but
  • 00:13:19
    Allah has guided him that your death is
  • 00:13:20
    here don't do it not even the creatures
  • 00:13:24
    look at your life look at the way you
  • 00:13:26
    were designed and how every cell in your
  • 00:13:29
    body was guided by Allah look at your
  • 00:13:31
    eyelashes why do the eyelashes on the
  • 00:13:33
    top lid go upward and the bottom lid lid
  • 00:13:37
    go downward why does one go towards
  • 00:13:39
    gravity one defy gravity if it were the
  • 00:13:42
    other way around
  • 00:13:43
    it would blockade your vision right it
  • 00:13:45
    would obstruct your sights who guided
  • 00:13:47
    your eyelashes in this manner so the
  • 00:13:52
    very design of the universe of the
  • 00:13:53
    greatest proofs that there is a
  • 00:13:55
    magnificent creator and designer behind
  • 00:13:57
    it so this is believing in the existence
  • 00:13:59
    of Allah being a reality the second of
  • 00:14:02
    the four aspects of believing in Allah
  • 00:14:06
    is believing in his lordship robobee
  • 00:14:10
    believing that he has thought up that he
  • 00:14:12
    is the true Lord and master of the
  • 00:14:14
    universe what does that mean that means
  • 00:14:16
    that allah subhanahu wata'ala the
  • 00:14:18
    exalted in the high alone is the master
  • 00:14:21
    of all he creates it all and he provides
  • 00:14:23
    for all and he owns everything and he
  • 00:14:26
    plans for everything and he has no
  • 00:14:28
    partners in that so to believe that
  • 00:14:31
    allah created some and others created
  • 00:14:33
    some God created good and others created
  • 00:14:36
    evil for example right God created light
  • 00:14:38
    in the devil created the darkness to
  • 00:14:39
    believe that he has an equal or a
  • 00:14:41
    partner in that can this a qualify your
  • 00:14:44
    belief in Allah that he is the creator
  • 00:14:48
    the only true creator and the word true
  • 00:14:51
    here is critical Allah says in the Quran
  • 00:14:55
    after mentioning the stages in which he
  • 00:14:57
    gradually brought the human being into
  • 00:14:59
    creation Fattah barakallahu is an old
  • 00:15:02
    holly teen glorified is Allah the best
  • 00:15:04
    of creators creators supposed to be only
  • 00:15:06
    one creator creators everyone else their
  • 00:15:09
    creators figuratively they put things
  • 00:15:12
    together they design right they created
  • 00:15:15
    a door how they tore down a tree got the
  • 00:15:17
    wood they really built it but creating
  • 00:15:21
    means to bring into existence out of
  • 00:15:24
    nothing
  • 00:15:25
    Allah says in the Quran
  • 00:15:27
    in the Lavina their own Ameen do nailer
  • 00:15:29
    he Lanie akuto bourbon well I would say
  • 00:15:32
    marolla
  • 00:15:32
    those you call upon other than Allah
  • 00:15:34
    they won't create a fly even if they all
  • 00:15:39
    got together for it all the humans on
  • 00:15:41
    the face of the earth in the ages of
  • 00:15:42
    jets and technologies and the likes
  • 00:15:44
    where they try to create a fly they fail
  • 00:15:47
    because creation in reality is to bring
  • 00:15:50
    into existence without a prior model and
  • 00:15:53
    without any sort of ingredients Allah is
  • 00:15:58
    the only true creator and is the only
  • 00:16:00
    true owner does that mean we Muslims
  • 00:16:03
    don't believe that anyone owns anything
  • 00:16:04
    no but in reality if you think about the
  • 00:16:07
    way we own things we own things that are
  • 00:16:09
    very limited and our ownership of them
  • 00:16:12
    is very temporary and it was granted to
  • 00:16:15
    us by no one but Allah Allah the most
  • 00:16:21
    high says in the third chapter of the
  • 00:16:22
    Quran who Neela whom my malik al mulk
  • 00:16:25
    say o muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
  • 00:16:27
    salam peace and blessings be upon him
  • 00:16:28
    owner of kingdoms owner of ownership
  • 00:16:31
    itself total willkommen tasha tanzir who
  • 00:16:35
    can invent asha you give ownership to
  • 00:16:37
    whomever you wish and use snatch away
  • 00:16:39
    ownership whoever you wish who else do
  • 00:16:42
    you know but Allah gives kingdoms what
  • 00:16:45
    king do you know is like that rather we
  • 00:16:48
    hear about Kings that are killed by
  • 00:16:51
    their children or kill their children
  • 00:16:53
    for the sake of the kingdom why it's all
  • 00:16:56
    they had
  • 00:16:57
    they don't have unlimited resources
  • 00:16:59
    unlimited properties and that's why I
  • 00:17:02
    must hit in this verse and he snatched
  • 00:17:04
    his kingdoms from every wishes no one
  • 00:17:07
    wants to give it up because what they
  • 00:17:08
    have this restricted and confined and
  • 00:17:11
    limited he is the only true owner and I
  • 00:17:17
    was the only true planner see don't we
  • 00:17:20
    plan of course we plan we have free will
  • 00:17:22
    of course or else paradise and Hellfire
  • 00:17:23
    would be unfair but our planning our
  • 00:17:27
    ability to plan and our will was given
  • 00:17:30
    to us by Allah so in reality it's part
  • 00:17:32
    of his will and if he wishes he can
  • 00:17:35
    cancel it as well I wish to be alive
  • 00:17:38
    tomorrow he said
  • 00:17:39
    that's enough for you in the life of
  • 00:17:41
    this world Allah the most high says why
  • 00:17:45
    Matta shyona Elisha Allah for blood I
  • 00:17:47
    mean you don't even wish we'll accept
  • 00:17:51
    that Allah wills Lord of the Worlds he
  • 00:17:53
    is the Lord the true Lord and this is
  • 00:17:55
    the meaning of that the third of the
  • 00:18:00
    aspects of believing in Allah and this
  • 00:18:03
    is the most important of them because
  • 00:18:06
    this was the message of the prophets
  • 00:18:07
    believing that Allah is the master and
  • 00:18:09
    the king and he exists this is a given
  • 00:18:11
    for the majority of humanity with the
  • 00:18:13
    majority of human history but to believe
  • 00:18:16
    in Allah is right of worship these are
  • 00:18:19
    laws right inside Bukhari and Muslim -
  • 00:18:21
    hadith collections more either than in
  • 00:18:24
    Japan may Allah be pleased with him was
  • 00:18:25
    riding with the Prophet Muhammad peace
  • 00:18:26
    and blessings be upon him and he told
  • 00:18:28
    him my view know what the right of Allah
  • 00:18:30
    upon his slaves is so he told him Allah
  • 00:18:34
    and His Messenger know best and his from
  • 00:18:35
    his wisdom why enter and The Messenger
  • 00:18:36
    of Allah is there salallahu alayhi
  • 00:18:38
    wasalam why should the student the
  • 00:18:40
    answer when the teacher can give him a
  • 00:18:41
    more perfect answer so he told him my
  • 00:18:44
    the rights of allah upon his slaves that
  • 00:18:46
    they worship him alone he exclusively
  • 00:18:49
    him and not associate any partners with
  • 00:18:52
    him he said oh my god you know what the
  • 00:18:54
    right of the slave is upon Allah in
  • 00:18:57
    Allah granted the slave this right no
  • 00:19:01
    one commands Allah gives Aulani duties
  • 00:19:03
    he put it upon himself
  • 00:19:04
    you know what the slaves right upon
  • 00:19:06
    Allah is he said Ilana's messenger
  • 00:19:07
    nervous he says that Allah not to punish
  • 00:19:10
    them if they do that if they worship Him
  • 00:19:12
    alone without any partners this is the
  • 00:19:14
    purpose of creation one makalapa to
  • 00:19:17
    jean-noel inside Linnea badoon the
  • 00:19:19
    version of quran says i didn't create
  • 00:19:21
    the humans or the jinn for any reason
  • 00:19:23
    but to worship me that's his exclusive
  • 00:19:27
    right
  • 00:19:28
    they say shape on the devil was a jinn
  • 00:19:32
    he had free will to worship Allah or not
  • 00:19:34
    and he was of the best of those that
  • 00:19:36
    ever worshipped Allah but a day came
  • 00:19:39
    when he said I'm refusing to obey you
  • 00:19:42
    I'm not going to prostrate to Adam so
  • 00:19:44
    all of his great worship all of his
  • 00:19:47
    great deeds that had erected him to be
  • 00:19:50
    with the angels in status even though
  • 00:19:52
    was gin in nature all of that was
  • 00:19:54
    forfeited he became the worst of the
  • 00:19:56
    worst and Allah the most high said to
  • 00:19:59
    the best of his creation Muhammad peace
  • 00:20:01
    and blessings be upon him
  • 00:20:03
    well apado he aleyko 11mm Kubelik Allah
  • 00:20:05
    in a shocked Allah Papa nama look and we
  • 00:20:08
    have revealed to you certainly we have
  • 00:20:10
    revealed this to you the same way we
  • 00:20:11
    revealed it to people before you if you
  • 00:20:13
    make equals to Allah all your deeds will
  • 00:20:16
    be forfeited and inside Behati the
  • 00:20:19
    Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be
  • 00:20:21
    upon him said that Allah the most high
  • 00:20:23
    will bring forward a person on the day
  • 00:20:25
    of judgment from the people that have
  • 00:20:28
    this belief they disbelieved why they
  • 00:20:30
    believed that existed but they believed
  • 00:20:32
    he was the Lord they didn't worship him
  • 00:20:33
    exclusively he will be told all my slave
  • 00:20:37
    if I give you everything that was on the
  • 00:20:39
    earth and the likes of it with it
  • 00:20:42
    meaning I double it for you would you
  • 00:20:45
    pay it all to me to be protected from
  • 00:20:48
    the punishment of the fire on this day
  • 00:20:50
    he said of course my lord I would moment
  • 00:20:53
    of truth now he said I asked you for
  • 00:20:56
    less than that I asked you to worship me
  • 00:20:59
    alone and not associate any equals with
  • 00:21:02
    me not pose any rivals swimming in what
  • 00:21:05
    in his right of worship the fourth and
  • 00:21:08
    final aspect that brings us full circle
  • 00:21:11
    and is very important as part of our
  • 00:21:14
    belief in Allah the most high is to
  • 00:21:16
    believe in his name's and his attributes
  • 00:21:20
    Allah - glorified and the supreme is in
  • 00:21:23
    the Quran when he left he less Melusina
  • 00:21:26
    Federal who be huh indeed belong to
  • 00:21:29
    Allah are the most beautiful names so
  • 00:21:32
    call upon him with them and sigh
  • 00:21:37
    Albahari and elsewhere the Prophet
  • 00:21:39
    Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him
  • 00:21:40
    said belonging to Allah are 99 names
  • 00:21:43
    meaning there are 99 names that Allah
  • 00:21:46
    informed us about himself in this world
  • 00:21:50
    there 99 of them even though there are
  • 00:21:52
    more but there are 99 names of Allah
  • 00:21:54
    he's saying peace and blessings be upon
  • 00:21:56
    him 1 less than 100 mean exactly 99
  • 00:21:59
    whomever comes across them whoever
  • 00:22:01
    collects them enters paradise
  • 00:22:05
    come across that means what to learn
  • 00:22:07
    them to apply them in your life what
  • 00:22:10
    does that mean that means Allah is the
  • 00:22:13
    most beautiful so he loves beauty is
  • 00:22:17
    established in a hadith so we tried to
  • 00:22:19
    beautify our deeds and beautify our
  • 00:22:21
    presentation and I served it to Allah
  • 00:22:23
    Allah is the most generous and he loves
  • 00:22:25
    generosity Allah is the most forgiving
  • 00:22:28
    and he loves forgiveness this is one way
  • 00:22:29
    to apply his names then there are other
  • 00:22:31
    names that you apply them how by keeping
  • 00:22:34
    them for Allah and not challenging a lot
  • 00:22:36
    in these qualities of his like Allah is
  • 00:22:38
    the most powerful human is not to claim
  • 00:22:42
    power to himself right Allah is the
  • 00:22:44
    creator
  • 00:22:45
    no one is to try to imitate a lost
  • 00:22:48
    creation by creating and it's mention on
  • 00:22:51
    the day of judgment that Allah the most
  • 00:22:53
    high will take people that created
  • 00:22:54
    images in this world the image makers
  • 00:22:56
    you draw an object that has a soul and a
  • 00:22:59
    human or an animal or the likes and he
  • 00:23:01
    will tell them on the day of judgment as
  • 00:23:03
    the hadith mentions a human oxen give
  • 00:23:06
    life to what you create it didn't really
  • 00:23:08
    create it you acted like you create the
  • 00:23:10
    way Allah creates give life to it and
  • 00:23:12
    when they fail they get thrown on their
  • 00:23:14
    faces in the fire so to deal with the
  • 00:23:18
    different names and attributes of Allah
  • 00:23:19
    that are most perfect in the proper
  • 00:23:21
    manner this what it means to come across
  • 00:23:22
    these names to apply them why 99 names
  • 00:23:27
    why so many having such an abundant
  • 00:23:30
    plentiful load of allah's names and
  • 00:23:32
    attributes throughout the quran and
  • 00:23:34
    sunnah has priceless benefits of these
  • 00:23:37
    benefits are number one to properly
  • 00:23:41
    identify the only one you're allowed to
  • 00:23:45
    worship I believe God exists and I
  • 00:23:51
    believe he's the Lord and I only worship
  • 00:23:54
    Allah but I believe that Jesus is Allah
  • 00:23:59
    right but when I learned about the names
  • 00:24:02
    and attributes of Allah and then I
  • 00:24:04
    compared them with the attributes of
  • 00:24:05
    Jesus peace and blessings be upon him
  • 00:24:07
    they don't match so I'm not allowed to
  • 00:24:10
    devote and be confused and excused by
  • 00:24:13
    devoting my worship to him this is why
  • 00:24:15
    to properly identify
  • 00:24:17
    by the one that you must identify
  • 00:24:18
    because a disaster to assume that
  • 00:24:21
    another is allah of the benefits also
  • 00:24:26
    learning the names and attributes of
  • 00:24:30
    allah is of the greatest doors if not
  • 00:24:32
    the greatest door to increasing a
  • 00:24:35
    person's iman we said affirming Allah
  • 00:24:37
    and His angels and the books and the
  • 00:24:38
    messengers in the last day in Destiny
  • 00:24:40
    affirming of their true even
  • 00:24:43
    holistically even if generally is the
  • 00:24:44
    bare minimum requirement of being Muslim
  • 00:24:46
    but delving into them and living in
  • 00:24:48
    their shade and learning more about them
  • 00:24:50
    a person increases past the minimum now
  • 00:24:52
    he increases in faith and he lives the
  • 00:24:55
    most enjoyable life and it helps him
  • 00:24:57
    tame his own ugly qualities like Allah
  • 00:25:00
    is the most great so that breaks the
  • 00:25:02
    arrogance inside of us Allah is the most
  • 00:25:04
    generous I'm not cheap anymore I know
  • 00:25:05
    he's going to pay me back when I donate
  • 00:25:07
    right when I'm charitable Allah has done
  • 00:25:10
    so much and he still forgives them for
  • 00:25:12
    the crimes that they do even though he
  • 00:25:14
    has done so much for them so I shouldn't
  • 00:25:15
    hold grudges either I should be quick to
  • 00:25:17
    forgive it seems the person's ugly
  • 00:25:19
    qualities and increases their faith also
  • 00:25:21
    of the priceless benefits of knowing the
  • 00:25:23
    names and attributes of Allah is that
  • 00:25:25
    one will not correctly and properly
  • 00:25:27
    worship Allah until he loves him the
  • 00:25:30
    essence of worship is to be humbled
  • 00:25:33
    between the hands of Allah completely
  • 00:25:35
    and love him totally that's what worship
  • 00:25:38
    is you will not be able to know that
  • 00:25:41
    until you will not be able to do that
  • 00:25:44
    until you know him and the more you know
  • 00:25:46
    him the more you love him there's no way
  • 00:25:48
    around it because belonging to him are
  • 00:25:50
    the most beautiful names and attributes
  • 00:25:51
    and these names and attributes are not
  • 00:25:55
    comparable to the attributes the
  • 00:25:56
    qualities the descriptions of the
  • 00:25:58
    creation anyway Allah says sort of one
  • 00:26:01
    who Allah I had the famous surah in the
  • 00:26:03
    Quran what a mere cuckoo for one ahead
  • 00:26:05
    and there is nothing comparable to him
  • 00:26:08
    and the other verse Allah the most high
  • 00:26:10
    says LASIK a measly he/she who a semi
  • 00:26:14
    our boss here
  • 00:26:15
    there is nothing similar to him and he
  • 00:26:18
    is the all-hearing the all-seeing and
  • 00:26:22
    this second verse teaches us that Allah
  • 00:26:25
    is not similar to his creation even if
  • 00:26:28
    he may have the same quality as his
  • 00:26:30
    creation
  • 00:26:31
    what Allah has the quality of life right
  • 00:26:35
    Iran Allah has the quality of two hands
  • 00:26:38
    these are established in the Quran Allah
  • 00:26:40
    has the quality of hearing and seeing
  • 00:26:42
    the verse we just recited the verse
  • 00:26:44
    begins by saying what there's nothing
  • 00:26:46
    like him and he's hearing and seeing so
  • 00:26:48
    we say Allah is what he said about
  • 00:26:50
    himself he is indeed hearing and seeing
  • 00:26:51
    but at the same time not like our
  • 00:26:53
    hearing not like our scene we affirm all
  • 00:26:56
    that Allah from the bottom self that's
  • 00:26:58
    what it means to believe in his names
  • 00:26:59
    and attributes we say all that Allah and
  • 00:27:01
    His Messenger said about Allah without
  • 00:27:03
    likening it to the creation without
  • 00:27:05
    denying it and the likes
  • 00:27:08
    with that insha'Allah surgeon will wrap
  • 00:27:11
    up the discussion on the belief in Allah
  • 00:27:15
    the most high or sallallahu nabina
  • 00:27:18
    muhammad o allah o savage marine or
  • 00:27:20
    hamdulillah harada me
  • 00:27:26
    you
  • 00:27:32
    you
