**00:00:00 ** discussed the different accusations and doubts Muslims may have about each other, and how these doubts should not exist based on the Quran's clear teachings. It also mentioned how, due to the Brexit vote, the word "evil" had been removed from a particular location in the Quran.

**00:05:00 ** a Sufi scholar discusses the different perspectives on the will to know and reveal before you in relation to the Quran. Some scholars believe that the will to know and reveal before you is only for believers who have received the previous revelation, while others believe that it applies to all believers.
**00:10:00 ** Tafseer-ul-Quran Almassari discusses the difference between believing in a general principle and believing in specific aspects of a religion. He argues that the ideology approach is better because it addresses the concepts of belief and interpretation more comprehensively.
**00:15:00 ** reviews the definition of faith, noting that originally it referred to a strong belief in something, but over time it has become associated with the Christian faith. He says that while the Quran does not provide an explanation for the word muta, it is connected to the concept of being god aware and good aware by being rational. He concludes that these attributes are necessary for someone to be a true Muslim.
**00:20:00
Discusses the meaning of the word "iman," which is translated as "security." explains that this word originally referred to the security that comes from having a strong government and from having a safe environment. However, over time this meaning has been corrupted, and today it is often used to refer to things like faith and belief in God. Islam does not approve of this use of the word, and considers faith to be a matter of trust, not evidence.
**00:25:00
Discusses the idea of belief, specifically how it relates to the Arabic word 'aman. 'Aman refers to security or safety, and in this case, refers to the certainty that a person will be safe from rejection and disagreement. Linguistically, relying on aman is also a form of admitting defeat.
**00:30:00
Discusses how belief in Allah is more than just belief, citing examples of where trust is already included in the Quran. also discusses how certain beliefs, such as the resurrection of the dead, must be mentally drained for someone not to believe in them.
**00:35:00
Discusses how belief in something does not need to be based on evidence, as long as it is based on one's mental judgment. He goes on to explain that iman refers to having trust in something, which is necessary for a believer to be successful.
**00:40:00
Discusses various Islamic theories about the meaning of the nation, which can be complex and deep. One of the main points made is that a person's belief should be based on evidence and corresponding to external reality. However, this is not always the case, and even the iman of a mukhalid is valid.
**00:45:00 ** Almassari discusses the difference between need for iman and need for miracles, and how some people (like the man who came for hajj) only need the Quran's words. He also points out that some people (like the prophet Muhammad) need both words and miracles.
**00:50:00
Discusses Islamic theology, specifically the different schools of thought on iman (faith) and israel (belief in one God). It explains that some people have an agenda, because they accept certain individuals to judge in matters of faith, such as the Dean of Allāh. It also discusses how some people believe that the party of Maurya (the founder of the Mauryan dynasty) is a kāfir (disbeliever).
**00:55:00 ** Almassari explains the difference between epileptic seizures and muhammad's reported revelations. He notes that epileptic seizures can have a variety of different appearances, but the one described in this particular instance is unique and specific to muhammad. He also points out that even if epileptic seizures did occur during muhammad's revelations, it would not explain why he did not follow the western so-called scholar's practice of claiming his revelations were due to epilepsy.

discusses the different schools of thought on the nature of iman, and how some of these views can lead to disagreements. also points out that iman is a complex issue, and that it is important to have a rational, comprehensive view on it in order to avoid infighting and partisanship.

**01:00:00 ** in this YouTube video discusses the different schools of thought on the nature of iman, and how some of these views can lead to disagreements. He also points out that iman is a complex issue, and that it is important to have a rational, comprehensive view on it in order to avoid infighting and partisanship.

**01:05:00
Discusses how some people interpret Quran verses in a shallow way, based on their understanding of the 29 letters. This shallow understanding can lead to mistakes, as in the case of someone who believed that paradise is a place of dust and burns.
**01:10:00
Discusses how some Muslims have lost trust in the Qur'an due to their lack of understanding of it. He says that the Qur'an is much deeper than what most people think and that it can help clarify some of the doubts that people have.

0:00:00 0:00:22 let's continue 0:00:23 with the where we stood last time with 0:00:25 few maybe additions 0:00:28 uh related to the iron before uh 0:00:38 one one further note is that 0:00:42 we translate there's no doubt we didn't 0:00:44 discuss any further the word uses ripe 0:00:46 no check 0:00:47 check is that that would plane but tribe 0:00:50 is more like 0:00:51 a doubt combined with some kind of 0:00:53 accusation 0:00:55 and the use of libya meaning that there 0:00:57 were many accusations about us 0:00:58 and this is this is the article this is 0:01:00 from you this is from 0:01:02 some christian servant working in mecca 0:01:05 educating you about that this is maybe 0:01:08 from another source 0:01:09 and also nowadays some uh not nowadays 0:01:13 ancient time because this scientist 0:01:15 brought to you has been extinct now 0:01:16 at the mohammed was actually a bishop of 0:01:20 the church and he was from the ocean the 0:01:22 people who believe in the in 0:01:24 in uh not in the believe in trinity or 0:01:26 the divinity of christ 0:01:27 and he made a rebellion and so on so 0:01:30 he's a sophisticated man and bishop as 0:01:32 well 0:01:32 and the quran is definitely from him 0:01:34 because he's such a sophisticated 0:01:35 scholar 0:01:36 and that's it so all these are 0:01:37 accusations and oh and the doubts 0:01:40 related to the accusation are doubts 0:01:41 based on certain accusations 0:01:43 like sir if you see someone you know 0:01:46 that 0:01:46 he is not from the edge family he 0:01:48 doesn't have a job which means that much 0:01:50 money and he's driving a luxury car like 0:01:51 a 0:01:52 ferrari then you may doubt what this 0:01:54 young guy is doing is he's selling drugs 0:01:56 for example 0:01:57 and then this would be not only sheikh 0:01:59 to be raped 0:02:00 but there's a question about that anyway 0:02:02 this is the right so rape is a 0:02:03 check doubt but doubt connected with 0:02:07 and in relation to unaccusation not just 0:02:09 plain doubt 0:02:10 while when uh when uh uh 0:02:14 when when the sun is there when you talk 0:02:17 about the day of doubt 0:02:19 today is the first one or the thursday 0:02:35 to under the focus the word the people 0:02:37 of riba 0:02:38 the people of doubtful behavior are they 0:02:41 criminal that 0:02:42 there's accusation against them making 0:02:43 people doubting their 0:02:46 the way they they behave or the way they 0:02:47 make money or something like that so 0:02:49 that's regardless 0:02:51 is stronger it's saying there's no idea 0:02:54 these dreams are not founded all these 0:02:56 doubts are not founded and the 0:02:57 acquisitions are wrong obviously the 0:02:59 quran does not ask the acquisition here 0:03:01 as us elsewhere because no way you can 0:03:04 deal with all issues and all points in 0:03:06 just five six words higher it's 0:03:09 impossible this is 0:03:10 rationally and it's very uh logically 0:03:14 impossible 0:03:14 so it has to be built as well it's 0:03:16 enough for the assertion there's no 0:03:17 doubt 0:03:18 there's no riba there's all these 0:03:20 accusations as well and the doubt based 0:03:22 on this accusation it 0:03:23 should not be should not exist 0:03:26 and then once more said the direct 0:03:29 meaning of the 0:03:30 translation is those who protect 0:03:31 themselves and 0:03:33 that's the english translation of brexit 0:03:35 they lose the word evil in that location 0:03:37 and other places in the quran is 0:03:41 in matter of accuracy they're correct 0:03:44 a matter of logical necessity how they 0:03:46 convert evil 0:03:47 is by recognizing or the appreciating 0:03:49 relation to allah 0:03:51 uh so that the deeper meaning so not 0:03:54 really that 0:03:55 well direct meaning but it could not be 0:03:57 they couldn't you could not rewarding 0:03:59 evil or protecting yourself 0:04:00 from god's punishment until you are 0:04:03 aware about his existence avoid his 0:04:05 relation to the rest of the creative 0:04:08 relation that is the creator about aware 0:04:10 about his 0:04:11 mastery relational royal education that 0:04:15 is the commander and the 0:04:16 lawmaker and aware that the 0:04:19 the universe has been created in certain 0:04:21 parts of street this 0:04:23 to have conscious beings who are capable 0:04:25 of making judgment 0:04:26 and make a decision based on these 0:04:28 judgments so free agents 0:04:30 there must be limited beings because an 0:04:33 absolute 0:04:34 free agent is only allah there's no way 0:04:36 and such a being can be created 0:04:38 uncreated but that's impossible 0:04:41 it does not exist it contradicts 0:04:43 national rational necessity 0:04:45 so there will be limited beings but they 0:04:46 have commitment of judgment and making 0:04:48 sin based on losing 0:04:50 or against those judgment and these 0:04:51 other free agents 0:04:53 human beings and why is this a purpose 0:04:56 that was just 0:04:56 it's just a a huge uh cosmic drama which 0:05:00 allah is enjoying 0:05:03 like you go to the theater and joy as a 0:05:06 movie just from pure enjoyment 0:05:08 no 0:05:12 that's that's not the way allah created 0:05:14 he has a certain purpose 0:05:15 to test them for a certain final 0:05:18 beverage we'll discuss along with the 0:05:20 quran in many other places but to 0:05:22 summarize what the sophies have said 0:05:24 he he created this conscious being so 0:05:27 that they can 0:05:28 become divine they can do become so 0:05:30 close to him that they 0:05:31 are worthy of his companionship in 0:05:33 paradise and he did not want that to be 0:05:35 by force this is that's not a problem 0:05:39 he wanted that by the choice and their 0:05:41 own struggle 0:05:42 so they will be deserving for that on 0:05:44 their own merits 0:05:47 that's a sufi interpretation they they 0:05:50 summarize and said that 0:05:52 i was a hidden treasure i wanted to be 0:05:54 to be known 0:05:55 and appreciated this way that's why i 0:05:57 created the 0:05:58 creation obviously what i mean 0:06:01 ultimately the conscious creations 0:06:03 the the the peak of the creation like 0:06:05 humans and other beings possibly in 0:06:06 other 0:06:07 uh uh stars and other peninsulas where 0:06:10 the wide 0:06:11 universe there could be millions but 0:06:13 with billions of such conscious beings 0:06:15 to humans and they have been created for 0:06:18 the same purpose 0:06:19 to participate in in the joy of the 0:06:22 divine existence 0:06:23 and to enjoy the companionship in 0:06:25 paradise but 0:06:26 on their own merits on their obvious by 0:06:28 their own action 0:06:29 not by allah enforcing them but they 0:06:31 live them by choice 0:06:33 so if you are about all of that then you 0:06:35 will be 0:06:37 necessarily if there is an awareness and 0:06:40 it is 0:06:40 you are conscious about it aware then 0:06:43 you will be the one who 0:06:45 will be rewarding evil and preventing 0:06:46 yourself from falling anything which 0:06:48 make you 0:06:48 fail the exam and end and uh 0:06:52 and losing losing uh losing the the 0:06:55 beautiful results which is being being 0:06:57 ready and are 0:06:59 waiting for you so that's but this is 0:07:02 national 0:07:02 not the word the word mean the word 0:07:04 meaning is just those who self-protect 0:07:06 those who are protecting themselves or 0:07:07 those who want evil because you could 0:07:09 accept from something something but 0:07:10 something even something painful 0:07:12 so useful word evil or protecting 0:07:14 themselves but it can't be 0:07:16 conceived except by 0:07:19 uh by uh insisting on 0:07:23 on 0:07:26 on that the deeper meaning of 0:07:29 being worthy of your evil is that you 0:07:31 must be good away otherwise it does not 0:07:32 make any sense it can't be you can't be 0:07:34 holding even even definition of evil all 0:07:36 does not make any sense until you are 0:07:38 god away and there are all these 0:07:39 awareness levels now when it's all 0:07:41 existence and when it's 0:07:42 creative 0:07:47 awareness about the purpose of the 0:07:49 universe about learning about the 0:07:51 testing that the university 0:07:52 testing universe for the purpose of the 0:07:54 universe and your purpose in the 0:07:55 universe etc 0:07:57 what ability of that is documented the 0:08:00 quran 0:08:00 will come part of it later now the next 0:08:10 is 0:08:16 we are referring to is a few others 0:08:21 tabari is quite classical he discusses 0:08:24 few things uh 0:08:26 which i feel are not that that important 0:08:29 for example 0:08:29 a discussion is uh these 0:08:33 is these i and the next one referring to 0:08:35 the same time 0:08:36 or two classes is 0:08:52 the will to to know and reveal before 0:08:54 you 0:08:56 and they believe in uh some scholars 0:08:59 some some of the self 0:09:00 table is very very concerned about what 0:09:03 has been narrated from salaf 0:09:06 and the others especially with in that 0:09:08 category 0:09:11 some scholars said the first eye and the 0:09:13 innovative relates to the arab believers 0:09:16 because they did not have any deletion 0:09:17 right before that they didn't have the 0:09:19 previous revelation they are not aware 0:09:20 of that 0:09:23 because they believe in the previous 0:09:25 revelation but they are they believe in 0:09:26 their current revelation 0:09:28 they become believers by believing in 0:09:30 the revelation of muhammad and they 0:09:31 already believed in the previous book 0:09:34 and some other scholars said of the self 0:09:37 know that this is all it fits for all 0:09:40 believers 0:09:40 even the arabs after they have become 0:09:42 right 0:09:44 they believe also part of the rape is 0:09:45 the previous revelation they are 0:09:47 mean of that and the rule of the book 0:09:49 also they are definitely mourinho will 0:09:51 ripe 0:09:51 much wider than just in the previous 0:09:53 generation but through the previous 0:09:55 revelation 0:09:56 so i i think that that issue of property 0:09:59 is 0:10:00 uh seems to be giving it a little bit 0:10:02 more weight than it deserved i don't see 0:10:04 how much it did it contribute to 0:10:07 understanding of the quran unless he 0:10:09 wants reactions at the time of the 0:10:11 relation 0:10:11 these two categories of believers uh has 0:10:14 been 0:10:15 distinct and addressed separately 0:10:17 although they are believers 0:10:19 but my feelings are maybe this 0:10:21 prehistoric reason maybe have a bit of 0:10:23 value but i don't see very much merit in 0:10:25 that 0:10:26 and also one part of his argument is 0:10:28 let's say uh he wished two types of 0:10:29 believer and two types of catherine the 0:10:31 claviness 0:10:32 but this is not occurred so it seems to 0:10:34 be that's this approach is 0:10:36 is not very persuasive 0:10:39 is better he did not discuss that issue 0:10:42 at all or disappeared to it 0:10:44 that is he started 0:10:50 believing in the revelation to muhammad 0:10:52 and the previous prophets and the 0:10:53 believing 0:10:54 part of it but it has been adjoined with 0:10:56 and like adjoining the specific or the 0:10:59 details to the general 0:11:01 and that's very very well permissible in 0:11:03 in arabic and all languages 0:11:06 you may mention general principle until 0:11:08 you say 0:11:09 certain sub categories are worthy of 0:11:12 settling 0:11:14 address or certain emphasis you 0:11:15 mentioned them after that 0:11:17 with and as if they are separate but 0:11:19 they are really 0:11:20 a sub category of the of the first one 0:11:23 so 0:11:24 the ideology approach is better um 0:11:28 uh there are already addresses that 0:11:30 quite extensively uh 0:11:32 these two is but start really by by by 0:11:35 doing word by words 0:11:37 essentially so first of all some few 0:11:39 linguistics i 0:11:40 i will not go in their very picky 0:11:42 linguistic issues uh because we are 0:11:44 doing the translation but 0:11:45 it is not bad to him to them is that uh 0:11:49 what is its position in arab in in 0:11:53 conjugation and declination and grammar 0:11:57 some say tribute 0:12:00 to uh 0:12:05 the ones who have the attributes or 0:12:06 their characteristic is that your minor 0:12:08 level 0:12:10 so in that case it is uh because it's 0:12:12 swiffer it's adjective 0:12:14 it is it is major it is in in a dative 0:12:17 that 0:12:18 that position because 0:12:28 so this one is linguistic fine points 0:12:31 but this is just a position there's no 0:12:34 no 0:12:35 no no e at the end 0:12:51 who you mean i mean that i mean those 0:12:54 that's also obviously that's would be 0:12:56 accusative that's will be muslim 0:12:59 and it could be my fourth marriage it is 0:13:02 new start 0:13:03 not talking is nothing completely 0:13:06 unknown 0:13:07 about these people uh 0:13:10 in the form that said they are new 0:13:12 sentence whatsoever so it's mahatma 0:13:14 i think this is uh for maybe for the 0:13:17 arabic 0:13:18 analyst is maybe of of 0:13:21 some importance but here it doesn't 0:13:23 really add 0:13:24 much more to the medic i would say all 0:13:27 three aspects 0:13:28 are included and the goddess one of the 0:13:29 respectful quran that it's possible to 0:13:31 have these three aspects and all of them 0:13:33 do contribute to the meaning so it's an 0:13:36 attribute for therefore 0:13:37 for the for for the the but also allah 0:13:40 mentioned the spirit but these 0:13:42 these details of certification to to 0:13:45 show the importance i mean those i 0:13:47 stress those 0:13:48 with these attributes and also it can be 0:13:51 stuck with a legendary these are worthy 0:13:53 of 0:13:54 praises on their own even if they are 0:13:56 not from the tree but they are necessary 0:13:58 but they are on their own merit 0:14:02 worthy of nation so that's that's uh 0:14:05 this one done here discuss the issue 0:14:12 is it is it an explanation for the 0:14:14 meaning 0:14:19 and he concludes we discuss various 0:14:21 things and so on 0:14:22 uh because they say is the one who does 0:14:24 all the good deeds and avoid all the 0:14:26 bodies but that's not 0:14:27 attractive if i said the one who was 0:14:30 evil 0:14:30 avoids evil avoids and avoiding evil 0:14:34 is essentially by avoiding what's 0:14:37 prohibited 0:14:38 but this is evil or committing and 0:14:42 performing what's obligatory 0:14:44 because if you don't do the obligatory 0:14:45 you have committed if you fail to do the 0:14:47 obligation i'm committed 0:14:48 you are filled in the obligation that's 0:14:50 the sin that's that is 0:14:52 here so those who do not do not fall in 0:14:55 martial either 0:14:56 negative barsia by by leaving the 0:15:00 what they are obliged to do or direct 0:15:03 martial 0:15:04 by doing what they are prohibited to do 0:15:07 so so it is uh 0:15:12 but this is actually more it is it's not 0:15:14 really just 0:15:15 here it's not an explanation of the 0:15:16 meaning but it's reconnected by this 0:15:19 logic so that's we cannot say 0:15:23 are those why you wouldn't believe 0:15:38 if so the discussion there is 0:15:42 is has merit 0:15:45 has merit that this is not necessarily 0:15:47 the meaning of 0:15:48 but it's connected by russian assistant 0:15:50 into being a buddha that you believe in 0:15:53 because you could not be as we connected 0:15:56 uh wording evil or self-protection to 0:15:59 the fact 0:16:00 of being god aware without that it 0:16:02 doesn't make any sense 0:16:03 but also being good aware connect also 0:16:05 in the fact 0:16:10 further details of being called away so 0:16:12 another details 0:16:13 so it's not the fear of the word but it 0:16:15 is the irrationally what is 0:16:17 included in being and including be good 0:16:20 aware 0:16:21 it should be unnecessary should be 0:16:23 otherwise the awareness is not the 0:16:24 awareness which allah wants from you 0:16:26 and the one the one who uh which will be 0:16:28 questioned about it 0:16:31 so that's that that has a bit that's 0:16:33 such a study and this is 0:16:34 a part of the meaning or selector from 0:16:36 the meaning is definitely have 0:16:38 all this connected rationally with the 0:16:40 meaning have have some merit 0:16:42 have definitely emitted so you it's not 0:16:45 considered that when you follow 0:16:46 without having these then you are not 0:16:48 taping 0:16:59 such a discussion is 0:17:02 but he concluded it is the closer to the 0:17:05 meaning of the quran is that these are 0:17:06 not 0:17:09 these are not explanations for the word 0:17:12 mutapin 0:17:12 but not here but that's 0:17:16 rationally connected with the concept of 0:17:18 being muta 0:17:19 is to have these attributes otherwise 0:17:21 they are not really talking but it's not 0:17:22 the traps here 0:17:23 not explanation of the existences of the 0:17:26 word 0:17:27 now it comes down to uh 0:17:31 uh the the words one by one the first 0:17:33 one of importance is 0:17:35 they obviously is a is a standard uh 0:17:38 pronoun or article but you know 0:17:42 is a basic construct of the language 0:17:49 of the language but the way you mean 0:17:51 would 0:17:52 is very interesting the translation find 0:17:56 all the sensation the transitors belief 0:17:58 but as i said last time when you started 0:18:01 that 0:18:01 there's a problematic with that what is 0:18:04 the problematic 0:18:05 yes it has to do with belief and 0:18:08 conviction that holding something to be 0:18:10 true 0:18:11 the mental judgment is something to be 0:18:12 true then they say i 0:18:14 judge for example and athens would judge 0:18:16 this universe or nation to be 0:18:18 necessarily existing and eternal and 0:18:20 hence there's no deity there's no 0:18:22 free agent there's no god there's no 0:18:24 national creation 0:18:27 his mental judgment 0:18:30 he hold that to be true and he believes 0:18:33 it 0:18:33 makes us sneak but 0:18:37 in other words to sleep in this huge 0:18:39 ordinance 0:18:40 but here the quran almost systematically 0:18:42 used 0:18:43 what is the uh and they said maybe the 0:18:46 closer one in 0:18:47 in in english would be faith rather than 0:18:49 those who have faith not those who 0:18:51 believe 0:18:51 but the word faith is having a problem 0:18:54 the problem is that uh 0:18:57 originally meaning is good and closer to 0:19:00 you 0:19:00 know an iman but the problem with that 0:19:02 is that 0:19:03 it has become due to the conflicts 0:19:06 between the church and the 0:19:08 christian religious station in the west 0:19:10 and the intellectual development after 0:19:12 narrations and the independent thinkers 0:19:13 and so on 0:19:14 is that it it became very clear that the 0:19:17 christian faith 0:19:18 and the books as presented to the people 0:19:21 to be divinely inspired 0:19:22 it's impossible to accept that on any 0:19:25 evidence 0:19:26 all evidences actually contradict that 0:19:29 let's face it i know that our christian 0:19:31 brothers when they listen to this hell 0:19:33 if they have accidents that may be 0:19:35 offended but that's the reality 0:19:37 is no way it can be it can be regarded 0:19:40 all over three 0:19:41 uh to be true and in literal sense and 0:19:44 in many in many places you may both say 0:19:46 metaphorical things that complex way 0:19:48 but still in some places it's impossible 0:19:51 to synchronize all of that 0:19:53 so but people 0:19:56 need some kind of belief some near some 0:19:58 care and and the intellectual did not 0:20:00 there in the first phases to 0:20:02 to to attack religion say it's 0:20:05 irrational 0:20:06 it is invalid it is false it's a false 0:20:08 religion it's just a 0:20:09 superstition some of them some some did 0:20:11 there that some became atheists and so 0:20:13 on and said it overly and frankly 0:20:15 etc but for the public people for the 0:20:18 general mass 0:20:22 so they invented the rule that that that 0:20:25 religion and the religious belief in god 0:20:27 and so on must be based on faith and 0:20:29 trust 0:20:30 without any evidence evidences for 0:20:33 science and for technology and for these 0:20:34 things that's the 0:20:35 evidence here we don't need to have it 0:20:37 just it is like this 0:20:39 you feel happy to adopt it and you are 0:20:41 adopted that's 0:20:42 it so this negative connotation came to 0:20:45 faith and is a 0:20:46 and even a school of philosophy called 0:20:48 fearless 0:20:50 faithfulness or something like that and 0:20:51 that is this is definitely not 0:20:53 acceptable from islam point of view this 0:20:55 is 0:20:55 but this i said this is a later 0:20:58 contamination of the world 0:21:00 it's not a genuine original linguistic 0:21:03 meaning of faithful 0:21:04 or fear having faith uh or something 0:21:07 like that 0:21:08 that's that's not the original meaning 0:21:10 so the real negotiation when it was okay 0:21:12 but this connotation had made it 0:21:14 a question mark on that maybe we should 0:21:16 avoid the effect and say trust 0:21:18 why now let's go to the word iman 0:21:21 iman is uh is if from amanda from 0:21:25 amanda now what's up no we i didn't 0:21:28 mention that but you know the arabic 0:21:29 languages 0:21:30 they developed words from roots by 0:21:32 changing and 0:21:33 in the intelligent and possibly adding 0:21:36 some letters 0:21:37 not prefixes and something it's not a 0:21:38 prefix language it is a 0:21:40 changing the the what they called wasn't 0:21:42 in arabic they're crying with the 0:21:44 soap and the and they have like a master 0:21:47 model of these 0:21:48 this wasn't like a father he did that's 0:21:52 a 0:21:52 basic man is the basic one 0:21:55 father and then you have friends 0:21:59 and all of these are derived from father 0:22:01 and you apply that to every verb 0:22:03 and almost every or every original uh 0:22:07 root can be all of these can apply and 0:22:10 the drive certain pays and different 0:22:11 meanings and different connotations 0:22:13 like from the let me give an example for 0:22:15 example let's say the world power 0:22:17 hammer if you use the the 0:22:21 the weight or the rhythm 0:22:38 but steel is is is is is malleable isn't 0:22:42 iraqi malleable it can be 0:22:43 it can be hammered and shaped by 0:22:45 hammering you can't do that by glance no 0:22:47 that's not 0:22:48 like glass you have to to get it in 0:22:50 almost a liquid state 0:22:51 and then you shape it by blowing and 0:23:07 times the road when the road is that 0:23:08 what the people because if you are in 0:23:10 the desert 0:23:11 you see where people usually go and come 0:23:13 in 0:23:14 in ancient times there were no paved 0:23:16 roads and then you see the way where 0:23:17 comets usually go all the time 0:23:19 and humans it's clear that it's being 0:23:21 hammered by the feet and it's clearly 0:23:23 visible 0:23:24 while the rest is in in the natural wild 0:23:26 state 0:23:27 this is clearly being being 0:23:31 changed by human feet and by the animal 0:23:33 feet especially in the mountain because 0:23:35 sometimes you're going through a 0:23:36 mountain ridges and so on 0:23:38 there's only a few ways you can go along 0:23:41 until you see clear 0:23:42 that the rock there has been has been 0:23:44 moved at the side has been stepped over 0:23:46 has been scratched partly and so on but 0:23:49 everywhere it is wild and 0:23:50 sharp once when this is not being 0:23:52 leveled by just my feet it's going all 0:23:54 the time 0:23:54 and people sometimes find anything like 0:23:56 a hard rock and come on get away and so 0:23:58 on and then you have 0:23:59 not a great road that's semi-paid 0:24:00 they've been paved and being hammered 0:24:16 um 0:24:33 is the best translation of it is 0:24:35 security 0:24:37 and safety and that's why they have for 0:24:39 example with these uh 0:24:40 government institutions and agencies 0:24:43 which are 0:24:44 uh the called state security 0:24:48 uh the the the united nations security 0:24:51 council called 0:24:53 security oh there's not much in reality 0:24:56 it's not just 0:24:57 wars but that's what they call it to 0:25:00 give the people it is that's where you 0:25:01 are your security lies 0:25:02 uh these institutions like the secret 0:25:05 services and so on they call it 0:25:07 amin the security of the state 0:25:11 most likely it is not in its nature but 0:25:14 that's 0:25:14 how the how uh especially the 0:25:16 dictatorial and aggressive regimes 0:25:18 represent their spying organization as 0:25:20 um as security which is really an 0:25:23 insecurity but 0:25:24 we are not going to discuss the politics 0:25:25 of that plenty of the quran come with 0:25:27 that 0:25:28 but linguistically they're relying it is 0:25:30 amen it's from amen which is security 0:25:32 so 0:25:39 feeling so 0:25:43 but it is not just pure belief untested 0:25:46 belief is the course only that this is 0:25:48 more that more than 0:25:51 mere belief and holding something to be 0:25:53 true or just making mental judgment is 0:25:55 true 0:25:55 it is essentially meaning i am making 0:25:59 i am making myself and making you sure 0:26:01 that you are safe from my rejection 0:26:04 and my my my disagreement 0:26:08 if i 0:26:19 i believe that you exist and they 0:26:21 believe it so firmly and so strongly 0:26:24 firmly that there is no room for 0:26:28 rejection or declaring it to be false 0:26:31 so it has to be a just like jasmine as 0:26:33 we 0:26:34 holding something to be true with 0:26:36 certitude and you believe itself in 0:26:38 itself or not 0:26:39 it's that matter of the mental judgment 0:26:41 in any case is the mental judgment 0:26:42 not what's outside not if it fits with 0:26:44 external reality or does not 0:26:46 doesn't matter it can be fit with 0:26:48 external reality then it is 0:26:50 the addition being iman it is also ill 0:26:51 it's a knowledge it doesn't fit to 0:26:53 exterior 0:26:54 based on an evidence obviously in that 0:26:56 case because you have to have the 0:26:57 evidence for that 0:26:59 if if it fits if there isn't reality 0:27:01 it's just it's just 0:27:02 a false relief but it is still a belief 0:27:05 and you are certain 0:27:06 and you addressing the other side that 0:27:08 you that yeah 0:27:10 you will be safe from my rejection and 0:27:11 my my my 0:27:13 my declaring you to be false or 0:27:15 something like that so it's just not 0:27:17 just pure 0:27:18 belief so that the translation that's 0:27:20 that is interesting in belief is not a 0:27:21 good translation 0:27:22 but what can we do it doesn't seem to be 0:27:26 another translation having trust having 0:27:29 a trusting belief or faithful belief or 0:27:32 something like that 0:27:36 uh it is the reason this is usually only 0:27:39 gonna be follow the b 0:27:40 where they believe in that in is because 0:27:43 it is of in 0:27:44 the meaning of i i testify and i believe 0:27:47 i testify in i believe in 0:27:50 so it is and i admit i testify 0:27:53 i surrender i declare 0:27:58 like an affidavit i declare i am say the 0:28:01 following 0:28:02 i declare it i testify that it's true to 0:28:04 the rest of my knowledge etc 0:28:06 so it is that has to be in and if you 0:28:10 relating it to certain people what they 0:28:11 are saying it is going with lamb 0:28:13 and this happens in at least in one 0:28:15 place in the quran when the 0:28:16 children of jacob come back home without 0:28:19 the younger brother 0:28:20 which has been held back by by uh yusuf 0:28:23 his brother 0:28:24 didn't recognize you yet they told their 0:28:28 father 0:28:28 oh my 0:28:31 you will not trust us or believe in to 0:28:34 us believe in 0:28:35 us or believe us generally except say 0:28:38 accept us as truthful not that that's 0:28:41 physical statement generally 0:28:43 you have given up us to believe in 0:28:44 whatever we say 0:28:46 and they are right because his reaction 0:28:48 shows that clearly that he does not 0:28:49 believe whatever they say 0:28:52 and they even offer an evidence for him 0:28:54 say 0:28:55 to verify that what we said in this 0:28:57 specific situation 0:28:58 just check out the caravan and send your 0:29:01 own trusted people to 0:29:03 the the the city or the the the township 0:29:06 which we have been 0:29:07 and they will tell you the story because 0:29:09 it was done publicly it was clear 0:29:10 publicly 0:29:11 there was an accusation we will be 0:29:13 european we have stolen the 0:29:15 the measure of the king when they say we 0:29:16 didn't so we didn't commit to be thieves 0:29:18 who are coming 0:29:19 begging for some support in the famine 0:29:21 so said 0:29:22 and he started them with the and then 0:29:23 until he found the measure of the king 0:29:25 in his brother's 0:29:27 luggage he has arranged that with his 0:29:29 brother and of course through their 0:29:31 sardines and shame 0:29:32 a good a good piece of drama 0:29:36 that he took the brother all that was 0:29:37 arranged with the brother before 0:29:39 and then there was such a state of shock 0:29:41 because they 0:29:42 they were afraid they have given a 0:29:45 covenant to their father that 0:29:46 that they will bring the boy back 0:29:48 etcetera now and one of them volunteered 0:29:50 said take me and he said no how can we 0:29:52 take someone who did not steal 0:29:53 this one is the one who stole we'll take 0:29:55 him so they thought 0:29:57 they sent someone even to verify that 0:29:58 but their father was not at all willing 0:30:00 to even to even 0:30:01 to listen to their argumentation and 0:30:04 evidence 0:30:06 so he does not believe in them that goes 0:30:08 with islam 0:30:13 in anything what we say or anything we 0:30:15 say john is going to accept we know that 0:30:17 but here here is a verification method 0:30:19 he refused even to look in the 0:30:20 verification method 0:30:22 so that is what it goes would be and 0:30:30 so this is iman so it is more than just 0:30:33 belief 0:30:34 the quran to slip in very few places let 0:30:36 me check few places 0:30:38 uh and what's the reason it has been 0:30:40 used there 0:30:45 one is for example in sword 0:30:48 lake 0:31:16 because all the issues of trust are 0:31:18 already included in 0:31:20 he has given and he is is is allah aware 0:31:23 so he has definitely iman but part of 0:31:26 the iman and which was my mainstreaming 0:31:28 specifically 0:31:29 part of the taqwa is that he 0:31:43 0:31:58 how it musically works more than amanda 0:32:01 santaka has having more future musically 0:32:04 and 0:32:04 another example is 0:32:38 it is with the same letters all the 0:32:40 different penis actually the first 0:32:42 circles are 0:32:42 relating to the truth and second one is 0:32:45 letting the action of believing 0:32:46 something to be true 0:32:47 but because it sounds nice with 0:32:50 continuous in arabic language 0:32:52 this is acoustically nice 0:32:55 so it was it would have said 0:32:58 this would have been disabling a good 0:33:00 meaning no problem but it would 0:33:01 it would have lose this beautiful 0:33:04 linguistic 0:33:05 play that's that's for example 0:33:09 another one uh it is 0:33:13 0:33:15 in that sense which 0:33:18 is the the one which is uh 0:33:24 the one which is in in 0:33:28 uh yeah and so uh 0:33:32 i think as far as when allah mentions 0:33:35 the people of of 0:33:38 paradise and wildfire after they have 0:33:39 escaped hellfire and they 0:33:41 went through the accounting and they 0:33:43 were in paradise 0:33:49 now they have saved and they are in 0:33:51 state of l.a being very elated 0:33:53 so they come to each other say how could 0:33:56 how could that we save them we 0:33:58 escaped after this life full of testing 0:34:01 us on 0:34:02 how much we suffered until we got there 0:34:04 and one of them said 0:34:06 even i had a companion a friend a close 0:34:08 friend 0:34:09 who used always to to ask me mockingly 0:34:16 of those who believe not more meaning 0:34:20 because he's mocking the mere belief 0:34:22 he's not moving that this trust is not 0:34:24 even the basic belief how can he believe 0:34:26 sasha nonsense 0:34:28 how can you hold that to be true how can 0:34:30 you make a mental judgment that 0:34:31 there is a resurrection of this 0:34:34 do you believe that we have die and we 0:34:36 turn into bones and dust 0:34:39 that will be accounted actually must be 0:34:41 mentally drained 0:34:42 you don't know what you're talking about 0:34:45 so the one who escaped to 0:34:47 the paradise asked the people around him 0:34:49 let us take a look at this guy must have 0:34:51 he's not with us so definitely he's gone 0:34:54 downhill 0:34:55 so let the shaykh see what's what has 0:34:57 happened to him so let us 0:34:58 take a look at the ascot visual affair 0:35:15 almost succeeded in 0:35:18 destroying me for the grace 0:35:24 it was not for allah's grace on me his 0:35:26 technological agrees on him 0:35:28 i would have been present with you in 0:35:30 this hellfire alhamdulillah that i did 0:35:31 not 0:35:32 listen to your your doubts and your your 0:35:35 your 0:35:36 so here what muslim is mocking him are 0:35:38 you really believing holding it to be 0:35:40 true 0:35:42 even the basic belief is is upsetting 0:35:44 for this uh 0:35:45 one who doesn't believe in the day of 0:35:46 judgment and the resurrection 0:35:48 so that's that's the few places where uh 0:35:53 in the meaning of holding belief not the 0:35:54 meaning of the truth fantastic meaning 0:35:58 holding to be true 0:35:59 that's tremendously believing holding 0:36:02 something to be true 0:36:03 in your mental judgment and even if it's 0:36:04 true itself or not if it's throwing 0:36:06 yourself on evidence that's called 0:36:08 knowledge but it's 0:36:12 it's more than it iman should be what 0:36:14 could be could be not real 0:36:16 could be just by tacleed it's not real 0:36:18 you don't have the knowledge in that 0:36:19 sense 0:36:20 that may be uh explained a little bit 0:36:22 when 0:36:23 the people of uh of 0:36:37 of his lord 0:36:43 we do believe we trust that what he has 0:36:45 brought now 0:36:46 it does not mean that the the belief 0:36:48 here is not based on knowledge 0:36:49 most likely because they are combining 0:36:51 the prophet and they have seen the 0:36:52 americans it's based on knowledge within 0:36:54 islam they know that the reality outside 0:36:57 but they wanted to hint that we're 0:36:59 having more than just 0:37:01 we have iman we have trust in that it is 0:37:06 combined with a state of internal mind 0:37:09 and heart of commitment 0:37:11 and complete safety from rejection and 0:37:13 giving it up we're not going to give it 0:37:15 up 0:37:16 not only we have knowledge we have more 0:37:18 we are firmly believing 0:37:20 and firmly trusting and firmly so there 0:37:24 the answer to because 0:37:27 would have been a weak answer but we are 0:37:29 more we are so it does not mean that 0:37:32 you you should not conclude that their 0:37:34 iman is not necessary 0:37:35 islam meaning holding something with 0:37:37 rule based on evidence 0:37:38 and which fits the external reality 0:37:40 because they have seen the miracle of 0:37:42 sarah 0:37:43 and they followed him on evidence maybe 0:37:46 a 0:37:46 later generation just by inheritance by 0:37:48 takali by 0:37:51 which is not an evidence by itself it's 0:37:53 just by inheriting the book 0:37:55 but these guys especially the one who 0:37:57 were arguing with the 0:37:58 leading uh arrogant crafters of their 0:38:00 nation they were following on evidence 0:38:03 and the americans actually this 0:38:04 discussion must have been really after 0:38:06 they have seen even the miracle of the 0:38:09 of the shikha 0:38:10 so that's that's that's one point which 0:38:12 is uh is 0:38:14 is worth mentioning it is uh that uh 0:38:19 although all the iman refers only to 0:38:21 being trusting 0:38:23 based on your 0:38:26 mental judgment that this is the truth 0:38:30 with certitude you're certain about that 0:38:32 it doesn't need to be um 0:38:34 like it it is based on evidence proving 0:38:38 with certitude that is that's where the 0:38:40 reality outside it does not need 0:38:41 it will be perfect if it's like that 0:38:43 under the way it should be and that's 0:38:44 the way it should be that's the way the 0:38:46 iman the real 0:38:47 good iman and perfect iman and the one 0:38:49 who really stands 0:38:50 firm in front of attacks and so on is 0:38:52 that of it the one based on just 0:38:54 following your appearance or inheriting 0:38:59 certain belief is is usually weak and 0:39:02 can be easily blown away by my doubts 0:39:04 and so on 0:39:05 because it's not made on based on on 0:39:08 rational and logical discourse and 0:39:10 evidence so it can be blown away very 0:39:13 easily 0:39:16 or yeah that's that's that's that's a 0:39:19 point so 0:39:20 so iman need to be just 0:39:23 jazzy firm and 0:39:27 a belief and holding something to be 0:39:28 true in the mental judgment 0:39:31 certainly and believing it certainly to 0:39:33 be true and 0:39:36 faith and trust in that in in that topic 0:39:39 of iman 0:39:39 so that you and the others are safe from 0:39:42 your 0:39:43 real perform calling it false or 0:39:46 rejecting it 0:39:47 so it's not just testing interstate it 0:39:50 has this component of trust 0:39:52 which now in classical scholarship will 0:39:54 discuss the house to his 0:39:56 situation of the heart and the body and 0:39:58 is iman 0:39:59 just just just statements about 0:40:03 or it is or it is an action they the 0:40:06 scholars have 0:40:07 developed a lot of theories about it 0:40:08 we'll discuss some of them just just 0:40:10 a little bit so we we have more clear 0:40:13 picture about what 0:40:14 all islamic schools and theories have 0:40:17 discussed about the nation 0:40:19 because it's a very deep and complex 0:40:20 issue 0:40:22 because it's created not only through 0:40:24 the state of the mind at least or to the 0:40:26 state of the heart which is has to do 0:40:27 with the faith and trust as a 0:40:29 that's an action as they say there's an 0:40:31 action of the heart trust is an action 0:40:32 of a heart 0:40:33 it's not a statement or that statement 0:40:36 so 0:40:36 they and they call it the stick and the 0:40:39 statement of 0:40:40 the mind or the judgment of the mind 0:40:42 they call it counter-culp 0:40:43 the statement or the speech of the so 0:40:45 the heart has a speech 0:40:47 which is really the mental judgment and 0:40:50 has actions 0:40:51 trust love hate etcetera these are 0:40:53 actions 0:40:54 and many of them are under the control 0:40:57 of the will 0:41:00 you can control them by will while tasty 0:41:03 essentially essentially is not 0:41:05 controllable 0:41:06 based on the evidence given to you 0:41:08 that's the reason if you have a belief 0:41:10 based on inheritance following the 0:41:11 parents 0:41:12 you do not have it built on an evidence 0:41:14 if you have yourself going through them 0:41:16 it is very easy to shake that one and 0:41:19 blow it away 0:41:25 that's the reason your belief should be 0:41:27 also help should be based on evidence 0:41:29 and corresponding to external reality 0:41:32 based on the evidence 0:41:33 because we don't know anything 0:41:34 whispering is that reality except by 0:41:36 evidence 0:41:37 that's that's that's that's that's the 0:41:39 nature of a 0:41:40 limited uh uh created knowledge 0:41:43 not the divine knowledge is absolute and 0:41:45 not created 0:41:46 and detecting and creative we are not 0:41:50 that we don't have that 0:41:51 this figure the divine knowledge cannot 0:41:54 be 0:41:55 there is no possibility to envisage or 0:41:57 imagine allah doubting anything of his 0:41:59 knowledge 0:41:59 it's impossible that's such an 0:42:15 what has happened believing what the 0:42:16 reality existed because he knows that 0:42:18 with absolute selectivity 0:42:20 so it is at the the word movement 0:42:23 that he is knowledgeable he is 0:42:24 omniscient of that so 0:42:27 he deserves the name he has both 0:42:30 but unfortunately for humans they may 0:42:32 become asynchronous 0:42:34 but they should not be as much as 0:42:36 possible but that that's what happens so 0:42:38 what happened normally so to 0:42:41 to have in a man ideally 0:42:45 the valid iman which allah praises and 0:42:48 the one which very 0:42:49 vibrate is the one which is also a 0:42:50 knowledge is based on evidence 0:42:52 and is fitting with external reality 0:42:55 unfortunately this is not shift of the 0:42:57 human so allah out of mercy and kindness 0:43:00 accept uh iman and tastic 0:43:03 even if it is not based on evidence and 0:43:07 may forgive even certainly 0:43:13 accept that even if it's just inherited 0:43:15 by the parents but you're definitely not 0:43:17 the same rank like the one who had it 0:43:18 based on evidence and was in any 0:43:21 experience 0:43:23 so that's the correct point of view that 0:43:25 even the iman of the mukhalid is valid 0:43:27 and it may save your 0:43:28 qiyamah so we do not need to force 0:43:31 everyone to 0:43:32 to do to go through the evidence but we 0:43:33 should strive that everyone had at least 0:43:36 a fundamental evidences 0:43:37 about existence while allah and the 0:43:39 prophethood or even the prophet 0:43:40 alone i'd stand alone because the the 0:43:43 evidence is for someone to be a 0:43:44 messenger 0:43:45 from a superior national origin prove 0:43:47 that the sender 0:43:49 exists and the message exists and the 0:43:51 messenger there and that's 0:43:52 with with various evidences of 0:43:54 messengerhood which are sometimes easier 0:43:56 and more accessible than the very 0:43:58 complex 0:43:58 evidence of the existence of sparta and 0:44:02 because they they need considerable 0:44:04 philosophical sophistication 0:44:05 and consider material to be taken from 0:44:07 physics etc 0:44:09 but here it is most likely much easier 0:44:13 if if you just do the necessary historic 0:44:15 studies and 0:44:16 study the prophecies that profit or for 0:44:18 example in our case 0:44:20 in 0:44:32 beside that we have in the quran itself 0:44:33 in our hand and is this internal 0:44:35 consistency 0:44:36 is also on as one refutable evidence 0:44:38 showing that it cannot be for muhammad 0:44:40 it's impossible and not from arab not 0:44:42 from a human being 0:44:43 so it must be from as supernatural it 0:44:45 must be from a free agent 0:44:47 from a conscious knowledgeable being it 0:44:50 cannot be from 0:44:50 that cannot be from uh from a blind dead 0:44:54 nature or necessarily existing universe 0:44:56 so we still refuse obviously atheism and 0:44:58 proof 0:44:59 at the same time but this is a secondary 0:45:02 issue about 0:45:02 how to perfect iman but anyway 0:45:06 in the time we come in the quran all 0:45:08 these who believe in liberal and so on 0:45:09 based on evidence by seeing the prophet 0:45:11 interacting with him and seeing 0:45:12 evidences 0:45:13 of of various type everyone 0:45:17 not everyone needs of this every type of 0:45:19 it some people will need uh 0:45:20 material miracles some people 0:45:25 need need is enough for them the 0:45:28 rational analysis of the quran to 0:45:30 recognize that's impossible for this man 0:45:32 elizabeth man from arabia to have this 0:45:34 from his from his in 0:45:36 some people just the wording and of what 0:45:39 the quran has 0:45:40 is so overwhelming like for example the 0:45:42 man who 0:45:43 who came who came to uh for hajj 0:45:47 and he is the one who is uh obviously 0:45:48 from a foreign mind 0:45:51 he is the most likely one at the time 0:45:52 was quite 0:45:54 quite i think quite well well 0:45:57 christianized 0:45:58 christianity was widespread there she 0:46:00 seemed to be and he was familiar with 0:46:02 the 0:46:02 with the previous book uh the previous 0:46:05 books and he was also a man who does 0:46:06 rakia 0:46:07 the spiritual healing so 0:46:10 quraish warned him don't sit with this 0:46:12 man he was obsessed and he's possessed 0:46:14 he will twist your mind his dangerous 0:46:16 etcetera see i was 0:46:18 it went so far that i put even cotton in 0:46:21 my ear so i could not hear him 0:46:23 then one time i was passing there and i 0:46:26 heard some of his words and said 0:46:28 maybe i believe my maybe my mother 0:46:30 believed on me 0:46:32 maybe i die i should die if a man like 0:46:34 myself who have read some 0:46:36 previous scripture and who who 0:46:40 who can can do spiritual healing is 0:46:42 unable to listen to this man and deal 0:46:44 with him 0:46:45 then what i am so here move then say 0:46:48 what 0:46:48 i'm saying muhammad i hear that you are 0:46:50 suffering from these 0:46:51 these flying chin on these spirits and 0:46:54 the man who can do here 0:46:57 let me do look at you so the rasam said 0:47:01 uh and and they have some of the 0:47:04 scriptures you want to say you have to 0:47:06 have the spirit the book of the 0:47:08 the the magellan the scroll of lokman 0:47:11 or look or something like that 0:47:15 this is look once a scroll is good we 0:47:17 don't know it's 0:47:18 it doesn't mean it doesn't seem the 0:47:19 gospel because they know it's called the 0:47:21 gospel at the time 0:47:24 so it's something else which may be 0:47:25 extinct maybe it's available or maybe it 0:47:27 has 0:47:28 other name in in in the european 0:47:29 tradition whatever 0:47:31 i'm saying show me some of it read this 0:47:34 out 0:47:35 this is good but i have something much 0:47:37 more superior and better 0:47:39 and then he read to him some of the 0:47:40 quran said a man was in a state of shock 0:47:43 because the man is a man of knowledge of 0:47:45 scripture 0:47:46 so he said repeat that what you have 0:47:49 said 0:47:50 and he repeated several times these 0:47:52 words have reached 0:47:54 the ultimate depth of the ocean this 0:47:57 is another level of of of of this course 0:48:01 it's completely different and we don't 0:48:03 need anyone listening to us who who's 0:48:05 not a muslim just 0:48:06 just go and read some some few pages on 0:48:08 for example let's say 0:48:09 john or luke or even the old testament 0:48:13 yes even deuteronomy which is having 0:48:15 many injunctions and 0:48:16 uh in the interaction and this statement 0:48:18 coming from uh attributed to allah 0:48:21 read that and come and read just a few 0:48:23 pages of the quran 0:48:24 you will be just shocked it's a 0:48:25 completely different level of discourse 0:48:28 it's completely delivered it is like 0:48:32 someone who is comparing 0:48:34 a book written for for school children 0:48:37 nice readable for children and you can 0:48:40 read it to the children and explain to 0:48:41 them 0:48:42 and reading and an article in a 0:48:44 scientific magazine 0:48:45 is a huge difference this is speech and 0:48:48 this is a speech but this is for a level 0:48:50 of sophistication and human developments 0:48:53 which is almost childish compared to the 0:48:55 quran 0:48:55 you just read it for yourself don't take 0:48:57 my word so that's 0:48:58 that's that's one way for example this 0:49:01 one needed all of that 0:49:03 another man needed to see an ayah 0:49:07 he said the person asked him do you know 0:49:10 you need to say america says and the 0:49:11 words order the three to come and 0:49:12 witness that is the messenger 0:49:14 and she 0:49:19 and he has was confused and was having 0:49:22 the desire to know 0:49:23 and allah inspired his prophet that this 0:49:26 well 0:49:27 many people are asking for i have not 0:49:28 rejected but this is not only specific 0:49:31 for the prophet by the way 0:49:32 even isa was asking according to their 0:49:34 narrations 0:49:35 by by many jews for ayat these sons of 0:49:37 snakes do not deserve see an ayah 0:49:39 because they know 0:49:39 they are asking just just as a matter of 0:49:42 challenge and they are not willing to 0:49:43 believe 0:49:44 they annoy them but when when al-azhar 0:49:47 died 0:49:48 and his sister was weaving when he came 0:49:49 late he asked allah to 0:49:51 to revive to be an ayah for him but with 0:49:54 people who believe in him anyway 0:50:02 so evidence of us sometimes to those who 0:50:05 deserve it 0:50:08 without asking but those who are asking 0:50:10 for it because they don't deserve it 0:50:11 they're asking just 0:50:12 to to make the prophet look funny or put 0:50:15 him in the spot 0:50:16 or challenge him they don't deserve so 0:50:19 but there are other evidence because 0:50:20 there are many other evidences they 0:50:21 should have seen 0:50:22 the people of the jew they should have 0:50:23 seen that this is the man who who the 0:50:26 the prophets of the messiah which are 0:50:28 well established they know it by torata 0:50:30 fits on him no nobody else but they 0:50:32 refuse to accept 0:50:34 because it will not fit their desire and 0:50:36 they will come that that 0:50:37 individual despite you in bottom of your 0:50:39 heart believe that something is true 0:50:41 but you are not willing to to surrender 0:50:43 to it accept it and have 0:50:44 trust in it and act according to it so 0:50:47 this is 0:50:52 now 0:50:54 let's do the red bell right here let me 0:50:55 go back to iman what about the islamic 0:50:57 schools of theology what they are about 0:50:59 iman and israel there are a lot of 0:51:00 confusion we will not go into 0:51:03 maybe next time we'll go just uh just 0:51:05 like like headlines 0:51:07 uh shall we say that uh already say that 0:51:11 if i said that and so on and try to 0:51:12 balance and see who 0:51:15 most most of these statements are based 0:51:17 on a 0:51:18 preconceived point of view or an attempt 0:51:20 to deal with what happened between the 0:51:22 muslims when they fought against each 0:51:23 other 0:51:24 in the fitna cover when we have betrayed 0:51:27 and rebelled against 0:51:29 and caused the fitna and the bloodshed 0:51:31 uh and then is 0:51:32 he movement or is those who fought with 0:51:34 their mothman or their kafir or north 0:51:36 kafur 0:51:39 declared etc what is the criterium of 0:51:42 iman uncovered 0:51:43 all of that made that of this the first 0:51:46 issue to be under dispute 0:51:48 who is a movement who is a kafir so 0:51:51 various schools and 0:51:52 because the discussion was led by by 0:51:54 bipartisan 0:51:56 people people who have an agenda of a 0:51:57 party who fought against each other 0:51:59 it was never done in a comprehensive 0:52:05 in a comprehensive way by by 0:52:08 by independent neutral scholars more or 0:52:11 less this will be never a neutral 0:52:13 hundred percent even being except the 0:52:14 invaluable prophets 0:52:16 who sit and try to go through all the 0:52:18 quranic evidence and put them together 0:52:20 in a synchronized way 0:52:22 the someone has an agenda 0:52:26 because he accepted people to judge in 0:52:28 the dean of allah 0:52:33 so he's a catholic because of that 0:52:34 that's enough for them and then they 0:52:36 built all the theory around that 0:52:37 neglecting all other evidences 0:52:39 the same with those who uh want to 0:52:41 declare the party of maurya to be a 0:52:43 kafir 0:52:44 etc and the goal of that now etc 0:52:48 you see the point because with this 0:52:49 partisanship none 0:52:51 took all the evidences onboard it took 0:52:53 decades after that and 0:52:54 maybe several centuries until some kind 0:52:57 of 0:52:58 streamlined theory even up to raja time 0:53:01 there was still some deficient point 0:53:02 there which i'll explain next time 0:53:04 but we leave that for next time because 0:53:05 it is maybe a helicopter itself 0:53:07 there are various points of views about 0:53:09 the people of qibla about iman and the 0:53:11 nature of ima 0:53:12 now 0:53:22 human beings are limited beings 0:53:26 an unlimited being and the divine being 0:53:28 for the divine is not called hype 0:53:30 there's nothing hype in that sense 0:53:32 absolutely there's no right 0:53:33 so the rape 0:53:37 is that what is not accessible to our 0:53:39 senses directly 0:53:54 reporting it claimed to be receiving it 0:53:55 from the one who knows everything 0:53:57 and controls everything that's that 0:54:00 claim is also 0:54:01 in itself part of the hype i will 0:54:03 measure that why 0:54:04 in the next ayah said the leader will 0:54:06 not be like 0:54:07 what's what's the revelation to muhammad 0:54:09 is that right 0:54:11 it's actually ripe if you look for them 0:54:13 in the prophet he received the 0:54:15 most of the time it is either in a dream 0:54:18 rarely 0:54:20 and but sometimes the angels come to him 0:54:24 and speaks to him and he answers the 0:54:25 angel we don't see 0:54:26 he claims that that's what he came at 0:54:28 the face at the first point 0:54:29 he claims he really came to me and said 0:54:31 something we didn't see you read we 0:54:32 didn't see how to talk to him 0:54:34 he just was answering for example he was 0:54:36 on the pulpit one day 0:54:38 and then he suddenly stopped the hopper 0:54:41 as if we're talking to someone there in 0:54:43 the in the end of the masjid 0:54:45 say amin and then remain said ameen said 0:54:49 let me go back to it say what did you 0:54:51 say he said i mean three times we don't 0:54:53 know what's going on 0:54:53 say jabil came and hold the two doors of 0:54:55 the masjid and say muhammad 0:54:57 whoever gets hit both bearers are one of 0:55:01 them 0:55:01 uh when when they are old and he's out 0:55:04 of age and his 0:55:07 is not so kind and virtuous and 0:55:09 righteous to them 0:55:10 that he entered then may his nose be in 0:55:13 the dust 0:55:13 and may be degraded say i mean i said i 0:55:16 mean and then misha another 0:55:17 always others oh and whoever 0:55:21 is in in a in a gathering or in a 0:55:24 situation and here's your name and 0:55:25 doesn't say 0:55:26 on you his nose be pushing that just 0:55:31 i said i mean that's what we have to 0:55:34 trust him on that 0:55:35 because we have but that's what has 0:55:38 happened this revelation is right 0:55:40 he claims that he has a revelation yeah 0:55:43 this is right 0:55:47 based on evidences one of them is this 0:55:49 quran one of them 0:55:50 plenty of them are the prophecies were 0:55:52 some of them are they've expanded 0:55:53 they're in details the book of taheed 0:55:55 was fulfilling all the so-called 0:55:56 einstein conditions of a valid prophecy 0:55:58 are there so we know it's substitute 0:56:00 that he is a prophet 0:56:02 and by being a prophet reporting from 0:56:03 allah is in his reporting allah it must 0:56:05 be unfair 0:56:08 by meaning minimal condition on 0:56:09 prophethood so 0:56:12 we believe that with certitude but based 0:56:14 on these evidences but 0:56:16 the revelation itself that's coming down 0:56:18 to him 0:56:20 he's right most of the time he receives 0:56:23 in the form 0:56:23 of being being a state of trance 0:56:27 sweating become red in the face 0:56:30 and uh often they hear from his uh 0:56:33 uh surrounding him a sound like a sound 0:56:36 to piece 0:56:38 or sharper like a sound like the the 0:56:42 like the uh like the 0:56:45 little buckle like the snoring of the 0:56:47 young camel 0:56:48 snoring not not uh 0:56:52 when the when the camel awake and open 0:56:54 his mouth oh 0:56:55 that's not it is like something like 0:56:58 this 0:56:58 not far away from the hell 0:57:02 and this could be said that this is 0:57:05 obviously because 0:57:06 someone could say this is actually his 0:57:07 his throat separating so 0:57:09 okay assuming so but how to explain that 0:57:12 he doesn't follow 0:57:13 some western so-called scholar claim 0:57:15 this is a kind of epilepsy 0:57:16 show and it was one single epilepsy in 0:57:18 history which 0:57:19 which has this same appearance 0:57:23 this is the narration you read and these 0:57:25 are narrations all of them together you 0:57:26 will rely on the after water 0:57:28 in various occasions and that you rely 0:57:30 on these generations 0:57:32 and claim that's the epilepsy so okay so 0:57:35 you rely on the description under since 0:57:37 you write on the description and these 0:57:38 generations are in all totalities 0:57:40 attitude that he was showing these these 0:57:44 these uh these sounds were here that he 0:57:46 was showing this behavior 0:57:48 said get us one epilepsy in history who 0:57:50 should have similarity 0:57:52 in all elephants the elliptic will fall 0:57:54 on ground have maybe forms in her mouth 0:57:56 and may be unable to control his body 0:57:58 this is not happening 0:57:59 ever he was sitting in the and explain 0:58:03 us how 0:58:03 he's sitting on the camel when he 0:58:05 received the revelation the camel 0:58:06 becomes so burdened with the weight 0:58:09 which nobody can see that the camel goes 0:58:11 in sitting and the camera is a tough 0:58:13 animal it can carry easily a half ton 0:58:15 to three quarters of a ton meaning the 0:58:17 enormous pressure has come down to the 0:58:18 camera 0:58:19 there's no way muhammad can exacerbate 0:58:21 that pressure on the coming 0:58:24 how can he exercise he's just sitting 0:58:25 like that and the camel is feeling so 0:58:28 enormous way of getting him to kneel 0:58:30 down and go down and sitting 0:58:34 so that there's something other than an 0:58:37 ellipse 0:58:38 something different but it has been 0:58:40 narrated honestly from the narrator what 0:58:42 they have seen 0:58:43 but that's what they see what is that 0:58:46 this is 0:58:46 the front of the showing a gate to the 0:58:50 rape but what's behind that is hype 0:58:54 so rape is not only not only the the 0:58:57 being of allah 0:59:00 he was always behind the veil so he's a 0:59:02 rape is not present 0:59:04 in that sense although he is present 0:59:06 through the causes and effects 0:59:07 but this needs a very deep intellectual 0:59:10 and spiritual experience 0:59:13 it is not by immediate sexual experience 0:59:17 is not by looking on something when i 0:59:19 look for example out of the window i see 0:59:20 oh 0:59:21 there's a dumpster there for for 0:59:23 recycling because i see it and i went 0:59:25 there and put things 0:59:26 upset and about that that's not hype 0:59:29 and they kind of conclude because it's a 0:59:31 standard in every house there is a 0:59:32 dumpster 0:59:33 maybe a small one for a small house and 0:59:35 then i conclude every house has one 0:59:38 with certitude because i have seen that 0:59:40 i have reported and you know that the 0:59:42 council does that 0:59:43 it does not mean that this specific 0:59:44 house have this at this moment which i 0:59:46 have not seen 0:59:47 because maybe that that that collection 0:59:50 point has been damaged by a car 0:59:52 or has been stolen by someone it happens 0:59:54 sometimes that your 0:59:55 your your rubbish basket is taken by 0:59:57 someone who is rubbish basically 1:00:00 broken and he is too lazy to go to the 1:00:02 council to get another one 1:00:04 that's the reason most people now write 1:00:05 the number the street number zone 1:00:08 of the basket but as a general prince 1:00:10 record yeah this is not rape i see it 1:00:12 and 1:00:12 i read it and they know it's at the 1:00:14 council equation what is it so 1:00:17 so that's that's the difference of rape 1:00:19 is anything which is not accessible to 1:00:21 the direct senses with hearing and 1:00:23 seeing and so on 1:00:24 that's right so what's happening now at 1:00:26 the moment 1:00:27 in washington dc is right for me it's 1:00:30 present for the people it's right for me 1:00:33 i know something is happening people are 1:00:34 living there and so on i know that my 1:00:35 necessity foreign 1:00:42 i if i over the television there's 1:00:44 someone reporting live or the 1:00:45 demonstration there then i see it and it 1:00:47 is not ripe 1:00:49 so that's that's right so it's like more 1:00:51 general than some people think 1:00:52 other than uh and it is relative to 1:00:55 human beings and to positions 1:00:57 for allah there is no right when allah 1:01:00 says 1:01:04 meaning the right for you for certain 1:01:06 beings maybe 1:01:07 what what we what we are experiencing on 1:01:09 earth is part of it is not right for us 1:01:11 and part is maybe still ripe but 1:01:13 whatever happening in another planet 1:01:15 maybe in a galaxy 1:01:16 far far away billions of years they may 1:01:19 be a planet there and their beings who 1:01:20 are conscious may be similar to us or 1:01:22 another 1:01:22 shape and they have their indulgence and 1:01:24 their problems where we have a war on 1:01:26 going now 1:01:27 we don't know what that and we have only 1:01:29 no connection i report 1:01:30 but this is present for allah but not 1:01:32 for us 1:01:34 so this is important because tribe is 1:01:36 much more 1:01:38 general than than than uh 1:01:41 people think so this is 1:01:45 right that's the first important feature 1:01:47 about this 1:01:48 necessity related being 1:02:04 fundamental principle which are not 1:02:06 accessible to direct sensual experience 1:02:09 as subject but finally finally concluded 1:02:13 from sensual experience uh data of a 1:02:17 sensory experience and done by by 1:02:19 complex and 1:02:20 laborious conclusion process uh 1:02:23 established with setting youth and 1:02:24 rational conquers 1:02:25 i think that's that will continue 1:02:26 inshallah with the next week inshallah 1:02:29 maybe 1:02:29 we give a summary what the islamic 1:02:31 schools about iman the national 1:02:33 man is it just a statement or is it the 1:02:36 witness 1:02:36 uh with the tongue is it the is it the 1:02:39 action of the heart is the 1:02:40 action of the body are the external 1:02:41 action 1:02:44 or part of iman or only is a pro exam 1:02:47 that fruit or a product of iman 1:02:50 without going in too much in the 1:02:52 controversy but it may help a little bit 1:02:54 to 1:02:55 distinguish between what the correct or 1:02:58 close as close to islam because iman is 1:03:01 a very complex issue 1:03:02 as close as possible to all what is 1:03:04 dictated by quran sunnah 1:03:06 and settling some of these questions 1:03:08 which have been a dispute between 1:03:09 especially 1:03:11 and ministry muslims and and some other 1:03:14 groups about what is the nature of man 1:03:16 and most important 1:03:18 that has been the issue because if you 1:03:20 are not men then you are a catholic 1:03:23 so who is that who is that now who is 1:03:25 that the catholic who is who is one of 1:03:27 the faults 1:03:27 one who is against us possibly or 1:03:29 potentially against us 1:03:31 thus has some relevance and in a few 1:03:33 hours we'll be getting to the cafe 1:03:36 and the uh kofi is the opposite of iman 1:03:38 in the sharia 1:03:39 not linguistically so we have to do that 1:03:41 a bit of justice 1:03:42 by one uh by one uh 1:03:46 maybe hadak by itself the the schools of 1:03:50 islamists uh the point of view about 1:03:53 iman in various schools of islamists 1:03:55 and try to clarify some issues and then 1:03:58 show that certain fallacies are problems 1:04:00 with certain definitions 1:04:04 it should be what i said most of these 1:04:06 points were emerged because they were 1:04:08 infighting 1:04:08 and they were partisanship and they were 1:04:10 austerity and in such an 1:04:12 environment rational and comprehensive 1:04:14 points of view 1:04:15 do not develop easily that will only in 1:04:19 a calm 1:04:20 rational thoughtful atmosphere devoid of 1:04:24 partisanship 1:04:25 and and hostility and fight and invites 1:04:28 okay so i think 1:04:37 excuse me there are no questions today 1:04:40 okay 1:04:40 um tomorrow yeah sure 1:04:44 is there any feedback you want to share 1:04:45 with the brothers in regards to the 1:04:46 questions or 1:04:48 no no we will go through them michelle 1:04:49 but uh 1:04:51 let's go if they want to you read the 1:04:53 questions and i 1:04:54 and we allow maybe some interjection a 1:04:56 little bit of interjection so it's more 1:04:58 questions 1:04:59 or discuss with them what what's what is 1:05:01 what i think the best you 1:05:03 you you raise the question i 1:05:06 try to answer a question say any other 1:05:08 question related to that and then they 1:05:10 can say it already for example 1:05:11 but we try to realize sorry uh check i 1:05:14 said one question 1:05:16 um 1:05:20 to early oh yeah go ahead sorry i didn't 1:05:23 see it yeah 1:05:24 so okay i have a discussion with 1:05:26 somebody once 1:05:27 and they use tafsir to justify 1:05:31 wait for it the earth is flat 1:05:34 and yeah how 1:05:37 firstly what category does that fit into 1:05:40 does the 1:05:41 keynote just general stupidity the 1:05:43 general stupidity this 1:05:44 that's that's that's they didn't 1:05:46 understand the wording i didn't start 1:05:48 the context 1:05:48 and they take it out of the concept 1:05:50 that's that's their problem 1:05:52 that that's that's the fundamental 1:05:53 problem that's you you read the ayah 1:05:56 and you do not understand the modal 1:05:57 meaning like for example 1:05:59 when they come with the story of 1:06:01 adulthood 1:06:03 when they say uh some of the atheists 1:06:05 now in the arab atheists 1:06:06 they are very low actually the arab 1:06:08 atheism is is 1:06:10 there's barely anyone there we should 1:06:11 call it really of intellectuals standing 1:06:13 barely barely but generally is all over 1:06:17 the world by the way 1:06:18 even talking here it has doesn't have 1:06:20 the area a respectable intellectual 1:06:22 standing level but it's much better than 1:06:24 the arabians 1:06:25 they're told to be to be sure but uh 1:06:28 they for example 1:06:29 if they say that 1:06:44 source of sweet water versus lake iron 1:06:47 hammer hammer either it's hot 1:06:49 or this muddy 1:06:52 so that's how we find it it's not that 1:06:54 she's sitting like like 1:06:55 like that in hermia 1:07:00 uh when occulance is about the 1:07:03 the the uh the sun rising through people 1:07:07 that came from 1:07:07 that so so the sun is the one moving 1:07:12 reality we know the sun is not moving 1:07:14 sunny the s is rotating 1:07:16 but as you see it as visible 1:07:26 well 1:07:38 i call it the 1:07:42 what should we call donkey style reading 1:07:45 i don't want to be abusive or insulting 1:07:46 but that's we'll come to these things 1:07:48 and we'll show 1:07:49 and when soon when we get to adam's 1:07:51 story but even even before 1:07:53 you will see that there are there are 1:07:55 plenty of 1:07:56 blunders and mishaps like it even even 1:07:59 next week when we had 1:08:00 iman even when razi make a good summary 1:08:02 he still have a shortcoming because he 1:08:04 neglected what he said about iman it is 1:08:06 not just it 1:08:08 it is more their trust and acceptance 1:08:10 and surrender 1:08:11 he did not include that that's the 1:08:14 difference here eventually 1:08:15 that's the reason for that includes the 1:08:16 authors takes up to one or two places 1:08:18 justified as i mentioned so that's from 1:08:21 the shallow and not deep understanding 1:08:23 of the quran 1:08:24 i'm not comparing one place to the other 1:08:28 yeah the quran has to use a language 1:08:32 which 1:08:32 every single man in arabia illiterate 1:08:35 behind his camel can understand 1:08:36 and have some benefit with but also the 1:08:38 sophisticated scholar in the future 1:08:40 can have a benefit for it and it it will 1:08:43 fix that 1:08:44 but you have to do a little bit more 1:08:46 work than necessary 1:08:48 yeah like for example it's a shallow way 1:08:50 it's called 1:09:02 which contain the 29 letters all of them 1:09:33 these are promised not all of these were 1:09:34 apparently fighting hard to the kofal 1:09:36 and those who keep you is 1:09:37 kind with the believer maybe it's kind 1:09:39 because the people the believer around 1:09:40 him was the believer of his own tribe 1:09:42 his tribal like husband the one who 1:09:44 fought in our heart 1:09:45 very vigorously and then when you always 1:09:47 die they say 1:09:50 congratulations paradise 1:09:55 i'm going to dust and burns i was 1:09:57 fighting just for the 1:09:58 owner of my tribe so he was fighting 1:10:00 more philosophies than the muslims very 1:10:02 tough on the 1:10:03 um is he a believer is he promised any 1:10:06 further no 1:10:09 but these guys are the guys have a 1:10:11 mental block 1:10:12 when it comes to some perceived concept 1:10:14 one in one aspect and to 1:10:16 the the the the desire to be to 1:10:20 especially educated by by by mukhalidin 1:10:23 and the west educated 1:10:26 to be shallow and simple-minded if you 1:10:29 indicate in this way 1:10:30 it's very difficult and this will invite 1:10:32 always a doubt that attacks against 1:10:33 islam 1:10:34 one of the purpose of this is to clear 1:10:37 some of these doubts and show where is 1:10:38 the pitfall so when we get to that 1:10:40 inshallah various issues like that 1:10:46 find tons of other things which are 1:10:47 shocking 1:10:49 so be ready for that 1:10:52 okay so that's it now this is just just 1:10:54 uh that's it 1:10:56 people have have lost lost trust in in 1:10:59 in in in really in in 1:11:02 the reality of the quran and and i think 1:11:05 it is trivial it is shallow it is not it 1:11:07 is much deeper than they think 1:11:15 1:11:24 so 1:11:27 1:11:37 you
