0:01:17 and shallow going to be covering that
0:01:20 because this is the second of three very
0:01:23 important surahs which we looked at
0:01:27 the previous one was sort of tour
0:01:29 which we've been plucking out if you
0:01:32 like not just the arguments but the
0:01:34 argumentative Style
0:01:36 of the Quran the points that are made
0:01:38 the assertions that are made
0:01:40 and we talked about the style of the
0:01:42 Quran some of the structural features
0:01:45 which are so well pronounced
0:01:48 and in the end of the last Surah
0:01:51 who remembers
0:01:53 what we said about the end of velocira
0:01:56 and the beginnings
0:01:57 yes
0:02:00 beautiful so we said that there's was
0:02:03 referred to as
0:02:06 OK
0:02:08 or this idea of
0:02:11 the
0:02:13 chaining together the knitting together
0:02:15 of the beginnings
0:02:18 of one Surah and the endings of another
0:02:22 and vice versa
0:02:24 we also talked about the structural
0:02:26 coherence of the Quran from that
0:02:27 perspective so the last area in the
0:02:29 previous Surah was
0:02:32 talking about what is
0:02:33 talking about
0:02:36 you know telling the prophetam to get up
0:02:39 and pray
0:02:40 at the time where the
0:02:43 the
0:02:44 Stars vanish and here you have here the
0:02:47 beginning of this Surah talking about
0:02:49 when najimi is when the stars vanish or
0:02:53 as the star when it vanishes
0:02:56 so clear a clear connection between the
0:02:58 tooth
0:03:01 so this is one thing we're going to be
0:03:03 looking at a little bit more the lexical
0:03:05 and the structural coherence between the
0:03:07 sword
0:03:08 but we'll also be looking at some of the
0:03:11 arguments that are made and just to ask
0:03:14 you guys what are some of the points and
0:03:16 arguments that were made in Surat first
0:03:20 relating to God's existence who
0:03:22 remembers
0:03:27 foreign
0:03:37 yes okay so the idea that Allah is the
0:03:39 uncreated and all that always there What
0:03:41 area in particular are we looking at
0:03:43 here
0:03:47 in chapter 52 yes
0:03:51 [Music]
0:03:56 they themselves the creators of
0:03:58 themselves
0:03:59 so that's one argument for the existence
0:04:01 of God really if you think about it
0:04:03 where it's at least something to make
0:04:05 you think of the existence of God
0:04:09 one of the sahabas he listened to this
0:04:12 Ayah and what did he say I'm pop
0:04:14 quizzing you now
0:04:17 yes sir
0:04:18 he said
0:04:20 he said as he was listening to this
0:04:22 quranic verses and stuff he said my
0:04:24 heart was going to fly off my chest
0:04:27 it's such a powerful verse that even at
0:04:29 the time of the Prophet it was seen as
0:04:30 such because it's thought provoking
0:04:33 what other things we said there are
0:04:35 three things that if someone accepts
0:04:37 becomes a Muslim a was what the
0:04:40 existence of God B and C were what
0:04:43 yeah
0:04:45 yes
0:04:47 the fact that Allah is worthy of worship
0:04:49 and the authority of Muhammad so tell us
0:04:53 something about
0:04:54 the the authority of Muhammad what
0:04:57 arguments were made
0:04:58 in the previous Surah
0:05:00 yes
0:05:09 fact that they didn't know him to be a
0:05:11 magician prior
0:05:14 they also
0:05:17 um
0:05:19 employers so the Quran says there is a
0:05:22 magician who is
0:05:24 but it does not give evidence because uh
0:05:29 it doesn't give evidence because the
0:05:31 primary recipients are themselves the
0:05:34 evidence they are the witnesses to it
0:05:37 so this is a very powerful way
0:05:39 how would you characterize the tone of
0:05:42 the messaging in the previous Surah
0:05:44 would you say it's
0:05:46 a very strident Tom confident tone
0:05:50 what else would you call it they're
0:05:53 beautiful it's an authoritative tone
0:05:56 okay
0:05:57 what other things did about the prophet
0:05:59 Muhammad particular did we
0:06:01 cover in the previous song
0:06:06 it wasn't a liar
0:06:07 yes but one particular about that
0:06:15 I mean there are three things that was
0:06:16 mentioned
0:06:16 [Music]
0:06:18 not mentioned he's not care him and he's
0:06:19 not shy he's not he's not a poet
0:06:24 um
0:06:26 yeah we went through this and then we
0:06:29 went through
0:06:30 a very important area which talks about
0:06:33 m-test elohom
0:06:36 is so what does this say I mean
0:06:41 assistance can get involved if you want
0:06:43 to and it's it's not a close shop here I
0:06:46 don't want to pressure anybody but yes
0:06:49 to give an example
0:06:52 collected the profit was leaving exactly
0:06:58 so that's from there I think it's a good
0:07:00 place to start let's let's start with
0:07:01 I'm going to get the translations I'm
0:07:03 using different translations
0:07:05 he's not he's not really a very
0:07:07 fantastic translation I have to be
0:07:08 honest but it's very detailed it's
0:07:10 almost like a tafsir in English
0:07:12 that's what it is really it's not really
0:07:14 uh elegant translation I have to be
0:07:16 blunt and honest with you but it's quite
0:07:19 uh informative so we'll be using it for
0:07:21 that purpose
0:07:23 by the star when it goes down or
0:07:25 vanishes now someone will say
0:07:28 nowadays especially I might as always
0:07:29 mention this
0:07:31 um someone will say how can a star
0:07:33 vanish I mean this in the non-islamic OR
0:07:35 anti-islamic websites these are the
0:07:37 kinds of arguments they make against
0:07:38 Islam they say look the the Quran the
0:07:41 author of the Quran believed that the
0:07:43 Stars they vanish in the sky and stuff
0:07:45 like this you say this is they say this
0:07:47 is nonsense this is this is a you know a
0:07:50 Fantastical idea or a primitive
0:07:52 understanding of science
0:07:54 this is a foolish interrogation and I'll
0:07:57 tell you why the Quran itself
0:08:00 it is
0:08:01 authored in a way to cater to the first
0:08:04 person
0:08:06 phenomenological perspective of the
0:08:08 human being
0:08:09 so it's about perspective of the human
0:08:12 so when we say for example the sun has
0:08:13 set
0:08:15 we don't mean that there is a setting
0:08:17 Place yeah I mean physical some people
0:08:19 actually use you know little carne and
0:08:21 these kinds of Shabbat it's a bit
0:08:23 nonsense to be honest with you because
0:08:24 it's known that this is in the context
0:08:27 of the human being it's not from the
0:08:29 godly perspective
0:08:30 and in the majority of the Quran is not
0:08:32 speaking about Allah from his own
0:08:34 perspective he's speaking about it from
0:08:36 the human's perspective
0:08:39 [Music]
0:08:40 emotional genuine he's sending it to the
0:08:43 Jinn and ins
0:08:45 when Allah says
0:08:51 [Music]
0:08:53 to the Jew the Jews and the human being
0:08:56 so the point is is that the Quran is
0:08:59 also from the perspective of the human
0:09:00 being so from our perspective the sun
0:09:02 sets the sun rises the Stars vanish so
0:09:05 that's it yes
0:09:13 so once again
0:09:15 we go to the psychological motivations
0:09:19 of a a claimant to prophethood why would
0:09:23 anybody want to claim to be a prophet it
0:09:26 could be we said before it could be for
0:09:27 monetary reasons money we talked about
0:09:30 well he's not living that kind of a
0:09:31 luxurious life so that's out of the
0:09:33 question it could be because he's insane
0:09:35 but we said that he doesn't have that
0:09:37 track record it could be because he's a
0:09:38 poet he doesn't really show that he
0:09:40 didn't have that training
0:09:43 he's not a cane blah blah blah all that
0:09:45 stuff now we're going to another thing
0:09:47 which is
0:09:49 doing it
0:09:51 he has not gone astray has not earned
0:09:55 now this is plain language so far it's
0:09:57 not revealing
0:09:59 motivations but the next part
0:10:01 nor does he speak from his own desire
0:10:04 because
0:10:05 somebody might say well I'm doing this
0:10:07 because I want to achieve some
0:10:08 objectives in fact some
0:10:10 like non-muslims who want to be
0:10:11 charitable like Karen Armstrong I think
0:10:14 or others they will say was a good man
0:10:17 he just had sociological objectives to
0:10:19 try and make the people good so he had
0:10:21 to pretend to be a Prophet this is what
0:10:23 they say
0:10:24 so in a way this is hella he's doing it
0:10:28 for a desire of some sorts because he
0:10:29 wants to reach power or because he wants
0:10:32 to you know unite the tribes or whatever
0:10:34 it may be
0:10:36 uh the prophet sallam or Allah is
0:10:39 telling us had no such motivation
0:10:41 and we talked in the past about how his
0:10:44 life was riddled with difficulty and
0:10:46 fighting and putting his life on the
0:10:47 line and it's not really a good deal to
0:10:50 be made to be made on a rational basis
0:10:53 is not for him to speak from desire
0:10:56 he doesn't speak from desire
0:11:01 it is an inspiration that is inspired
0:11:04 this is what this is
0:11:06 this is an inspiration this is something
0:11:09 which Allah has sent down to this
0:11:11 particular Prophet now this is beautiful
0:11:13 how the fawasan or the ending of each
0:11:17 Ayah
0:11:17 ends with an elephant this way
0:11:20 yes it's written as a yeah in the Arabic
0:11:22 but it's actually an alif
0:11:24 this alif it creates a rhyme which is
0:11:28 fantastic it's a beautiful as you can
0:11:30 hear it's a syllableistic nature
0:11:33 of this at this particular Surah this is
0:11:36 part of the reason why as we'll come to
0:11:38 find the the policies
0:11:41 were in all of this
0:11:44 to the point where they actually done so
0:11:45 Jordan actually
0:11:46 because they saw her as a great
0:11:50 piece of work even the politics they've
0:11:52 done so Jude after they hit they heard
0:11:53 this we'll come to that maybe at the end
0:11:57 I love
0:11:58 he has been taught by the one who's
0:12:01 Mighty in power in this case it's jabri
0:12:04 jabri who's a archetype and a
0:12:07 protagonist in the Old Testament
0:12:09 we know who jibril is
0:12:12 but Allah is giving him a serious praise
0:12:14 I don't think there's anything like that
0:12:15 in the Quran of any other
0:12:17 person
0:12:19 like
0:12:20 this is a serious praise to be put on
0:12:24 this uh archangela
0:12:29 he continues praising the angel he's
0:12:31 free from defect in body and mind festoa
0:12:34 he rose and became stable
0:12:36 anyhow
0:12:38 with now we're starting to imagine when
0:12:40 the prophet sallam first
0:12:42 encountered jibril Islam
0:12:45 he became stable
0:12:47 well
0:12:49 and he is in the horizons
0:12:52 wasn't the highest part of the horizons
0:12:55 so there's an imagery here there's a
0:12:57 Hadith
0:12:59 where he describes
0:13:01 the the angel actually I was looking at
0:13:05 some of the as I need of it
0:13:07 which that he saw him with 600 engine
0:13:09 wings
0:13:12 you imagine this
0:13:14 now let's take one step back because
0:13:16 I'll be honest
0:13:18 you know we're dealing with doubts and
0:13:20 we're dealing with atheism and we're
0:13:21 dealing with
0:13:22 the skeptic mind of course people are
0:13:25 going to say well actually I don't
0:13:27 believe in all this stuff sorry to say
0:13:28 Yeah in fact some of them they say
0:13:31 I remember walking home from school one
0:13:33 time and a person who was supposedly
0:13:34 Muslim yeah
0:13:36 I'm not going to reveal his name but he
0:13:39 came he said to me you know because I
0:13:40 used to go to the prayer rooms and this
0:13:41 kind of thing he said to me
0:13:43 do you really believe in these things
0:13:45 this is what he said
0:13:47 and this was by the way this was the
0:13:49 time where I think new atheism was at
0:13:50 his height like Richard Dawkins and
0:13:52 these guys there he looked at me and
0:13:55 then he started laughing he's like I
0:13:56 said do you really believe in these
0:13:57 things
0:13:59 I said I was I was surprised that he had
0:14:01 that like mentality but believe me this
0:14:03 mentality is widespread
0:14:06 in the Muslim world and this is
0:14:09 widespread obviously in the world itself
0:14:12 what are we talking about here the high
0:14:14 biet heaven hell the Angels the wings
0:14:17 you say 600 Wings they're handwaver
0:14:19 officer what are you talking about but
0:14:20 I'm into science I'm into materialism
0:14:26 I think he was ironically Bernard uh
0:14:29 Russell The Atheist famous
0:14:33 who said and it might not have been him
0:14:35 but yeah and he might have said this it
0:14:37 might have been him he said today's
0:14:39 technology was is yesterday's Magic
0:14:42 yeah let me let's just put something in
0:14:44 perspective first let me make a claim
0:14:46 and then I want to back out my claim is
0:14:48 as follows let me put this here please
0:14:50 my claim is
0:14:53 that it's the easiest time in history to
0:14:55 believe in the hybrid
0:14:56 that's my claim Yani Heaven held the
0:14:58 Angels it is the easiest time to believe
0:15:01 in it now than any other time in history
0:15:04 why
0:15:05 if I took this phone a thousand four
0:15:08 hundred years ago when the prophet
0:15:09 sallam was around we talked about
0:15:10 already we were outside we saw the jubel
0:15:12 we saw the mountains we saw all this
0:15:14 stuff yeah we saw all of that now
0:15:17 imagine taking away the buildings and
0:15:18 taking away everything taking away the
0:15:20 electronics and the cars and the people
0:15:22 you only got 10 000 people
0:15:24 and I somehow go into a time machine
0:15:29 and I take this phone with me okay
0:15:32 and I start showing them YouTube videos
0:15:34 of hands resources and this one and that
0:15:36 one and John Fontaine
0:15:39 and this one
0:15:41 what do you think that people are gonna
0:15:42 think I am
0:15:44 no doubt they'll say this guy's a
0:15:46 magician
0:15:47 I does anyone have a doubt about that
0:15:50 imagine if I start to yeah I need to
0:15:52 show them certain other technological
0:15:55 advancements that we have of today
0:15:57 like for example I showed them the
0:16:00 airplane
0:16:05 I showed them telephone networking and
0:16:07 these things
0:16:09 this is too much the internet I'll show
0:16:11 them the internet
0:16:11 [Music]
0:16:13 yeah
0:16:15 forget about a thousand four hundred
0:16:16 years ago
0:16:18 yeah I need 500 years ago 300 years ago
0:16:20 people would be shocked in fact I mean
0:16:23 I'm not sure does anyone know how the
0:16:25 the airplane was invented
0:16:29 I mean they say the Wright brothers
0:16:30 right you know the Wright brothers in
0:16:32 1907 I think it was 19. apparently it
0:16:34 should be 1907 there was two American
0:16:37 guys yes
0:16:39 there's different claimants you see like
0:16:42 for example in Brazil they have this
0:16:44 very important figure who has a I would
0:16:46 say a stronger claim I forget his name
0:16:48 now to who invented the airplane yeah
0:16:52 anyway the point is this is that when it
0:16:54 first came out and he was starting to
0:16:56 write it in in Paris
0:16:58 people were accusing him of all kinds of
0:17:00 stuff that was in 1907 or something like
0:17:02 that
0:17:03 so they were completely they were they
0:17:05 were making a mockery of it if you look
0:17:07 at the newspaper articles they were
0:17:08 making them up this guy believes he can
0:17:10 fly around the air
0:17:12 okay that's what they were saying
0:17:16 now do you see why this is relevant it's
0:17:18 a hundred years ago
0:17:20 where the woman didn't even have the
0:17:22 vote in the country
0:17:24 if they didn't until 1914
0:17:26 but they had the labor party they had
0:17:27 this they had that they had the
0:17:29 conservatives there in America they had
0:17:30 the Democrats they had the Republicans
0:17:32 things were in place they had the
0:17:33 Constitution and they were they were
0:17:35 shocked
0:17:36 and bewildered at the fact that there
0:17:38 are airplanes they were making fun of
0:17:40 that as a fact
0:17:42 why because today's technology is
0:17:45 yesterday's magic everything is
0:17:47 incredulous to everybody
0:17:49 until it's seen
0:17:53 what is so difficult about believing in
0:17:55 a creature with 600 rings
0:17:59 oh yeah honey nowadays we live in an age
0:18:01 where these guys are showing me the
0:18:03 neuralink something you put in someone's
0:18:05 head and then you can get them
0:18:06 information from their brain and you can
0:18:09 load your information they say yeah you
0:18:12 can load it
0:18:13 and they say you can put the meta first
0:18:15 they put the goggles and they're in some
0:18:17 other place
0:18:18 but they're in their mom's backyard but
0:18:20 actually no they're in Times Square
0:18:26 what I'm saying is now with the age of
0:18:28 Technology
0:18:29 we should be the most capable of
0:18:32 believing that I've yet of any humans in
0:18:36 any time in history because we've seen
0:18:38 it been proven so many times
0:18:42 where's the Allah is where is The
0:18:45 Logical contradiction so long as there's
0:18:46 no logical contradiction
0:18:48 there should be no problem
0:18:49 but you know what you
0:18:51 know I would say
0:18:53 you'd be very surprised at what people
0:18:54 believe scientists materialists atheists
0:18:57 have you heard of The Double Split
0:18:59 experiment
0:19:00 for example I'm not going to go into
0:19:02 details but let me on the quantum level
0:19:04 they say one particle can be in two
0:19:05 places at the same time
0:19:08 you know Harry Potter and the
0:19:09 philosophers don't know whether it's
0:19:10 called
0:19:11 I remember when he ran through the wall
0:19:13 people say this is impossible but in the
0:19:15 quantum world this is possible you can
0:19:17 run through walls and you can be in two
0:19:18 players at the same time
0:19:20 okay I'll put it in this way for you
0:19:21 yeah
0:19:23 if I were to take
0:19:26 a quantum physics textbook
0:19:29 and instead of using the terms the
0:19:31 scientific terms I'll use religious
0:19:33 terms
0:19:35 the whole thing becomes what they would
0:19:37 call a fairy tale
0:19:40 immediately
0:19:43 but a fairy tale of the fact of the
0:19:45 white man with the lap chord says it
0:19:53 that's their profit of the day
0:19:55 no one has seen this particle in two
0:19:57 places at the same time
0:19:59 and by the way they can't see it the
0:20:01 quantum world is invisible
0:20:03 I just just to let you know it
0:20:09 oh look you guys believe Richard talk
0:20:10 and say you believe in Barack he goes
0:20:12 here it goes there you believe in Wings
0:20:13 the animal donkey this whatever
0:20:16 say donkey's so much easier to believe
0:20:18 than a particle one particle being two
0:20:20 players at the same time because that's
0:20:21 a logical contradiction
0:20:26 and if you don't want to believe in
0:20:28 those things
0:20:29 it's true isn't it
0:20:32 it's true
0:20:36 so the ripe is the easiest thing to
0:20:38 believe in today
0:20:40 I don't believe in these things it's my
0:20:42 friend but then when he goes to the
0:20:44 scientists
0:20:46 and they tell him
0:20:48 an evolutionary theory that basically
0:20:51 I'm being vague here or I'm being crude
0:20:55 that a well-like creature became a
0:20:58 cow-like creature
0:21:00 it's in the same family according to the
0:21:03 classifications a whale became a cow how
0:21:05 did it just jump on the air no it had to
0:21:07 make so many Transformations did we see
0:21:09 those Transformations no we didn't but
0:21:11 we would believe it because the white
0:21:12 man with the lab coat said
0:21:14 he's colonized our minds
0:21:17 he's told us what fairy tales to believe
0:21:18 in
0:21:19 he's given it the label of approval he
0:21:22 said this is the one
0:21:24 but we don't even know this guy's
0:21:25 history the lab code guy
0:21:27 we don't even know what he's what he's
0:21:29 been doing
0:21:30 we don't know what collaboration is part
0:21:32 of what pharmaceutical company all those
0:21:35 things that we were doing a damn of the
0:21:37 prophets we don't do it to him of these
0:21:38 guys with
0:21:39 what what Financial incentives does he
0:21:41 have you don't think scientists have
0:21:43 Financial incentives
0:21:45 the pharmaceutical companies and so they
0:21:46 they are open we want to maximize our
0:21:49 profits
0:21:52 Eugenics they were saying the black man
0:21:54 is less than the white man
0:21:58 and they were using science
0:22:01 even Charles Charles Darwin he says that
0:22:04 the black man has a Fifth Third
0:22:07 he had like a thumb on his foot he
0:22:09 didn't even know these things he said
0:22:11 he's a Savage
0:22:12 and then this Hitler and those guys they
0:22:14 use the Eugenics programs what I'm
0:22:16 saying to you is this
0:22:18 science can be misappropriated can be
0:22:22 used can be weaponized
0:22:28 so the reason why I preambled because a
0:22:31 lot of this discussion is about ripe
0:22:33 about Allah taking the prophet sallam to
0:22:36 a certain place
0:22:37 and this place in that place and he saw
0:22:39 this and that so I can't believe in any
0:22:41 of it I haven't seen it
0:22:44 but in that case let's reject almost all
0:22:46 of science
0:22:50 let's see how the the materialists in
0:22:53 the dinner table feels like when he
0:22:54 rejects quantum mechanics
0:23:00 [Music]
0:23:07 he was a distance of Two bows length or
0:23:10 even here
0:23:11 this is so there's two times
0:23:13 this is referring to the time
0:23:16 where jibril saw the prophet
0:23:17 Massachusetts for the first time
0:23:19 where he was first told in the cave
0:23:23 then the nasla that he's talking about
0:23:26 here the second one is when he takes him
0:23:30 up to the Israel has anyone got a
0:23:32 question someone had their hand up
0:23:41 yeah chapter 53
0:23:44 and we are now af8
0:23:48 actually now we're in air 10. oh
0:23:54 so he
0:23:56 revealed he jibril revealed to the
0:23:59 prophet sallam what he revealed
0:24:06 the heart did not lie in seeing what he
0:24:09 saw Yani this is a confirmation from
0:24:12 Allah that this is not just a testimony
0:24:14 the prophet Muhammad this is to reassure
0:24:16 up and the primary audience this is
0:24:19 certainly what happened this is not a
0:24:21 delusion of some sort
0:24:23 no this is what happened this creature
0:24:26 that we have created
0:24:27 the angel jibril did meet the prophet
0:24:30 sallam he did see him in all of his
0:24:32 glory and yes 600 wings
0:24:35 and how that looks like I would know
0:24:38 but to be honest with you it's not too
0:24:39 hard to estimate
0:24:41 the scene winged creatures
0:24:44 yeah and we've seen two Wings some
0:24:46 creatures have more than that I don't
0:24:48 know
0:24:49 well at least they have one big one that
0:24:50 looks like so many so 600 is not yarn is
0:24:53 that hard to imagine
0:24:55 it would cover the Horizon it would be
0:24:57 some extraordinary thing to imagine in
0:25:00 the desert he saw it
0:25:05 will you then dispute
0:25:08 will you then dispute with him about
0:25:11 what he saw
0:25:16 so this is Allah taking
0:25:19 he's defending
0:25:23 he's backing the prophet and he does
0:25:24 that all the time
0:25:26 which shows you this is the greatest
0:25:28 honor that yeah and you can imagine
0:25:32 and indeed he saw him a second descent
0:25:41 had a low tree so basically the quranic
0:25:45 cosmology is as follows you have seven
0:25:46 heavens
0:25:48 each Heaven has its own
0:25:51 um Affair above that you have the
0:25:53 courtesy above that you have the foreign
0:25:58 but above the seven Heavens you have
0:26:00 this on the seventh heaven up into the
0:26:03 courtesy area this is
0:26:06 like the end
0:26:08 and this low tree says how can the tree
0:26:11 be in the air
0:26:12 what do you mean I've contribute an hour
0:26:14 what do you mean yeah put a tree into
0:26:16 the air I don't know
0:26:18 and by the way why do you think no no
0:26:20 because some people I know what people
0:26:21 think
0:26:22 I get three you imagine it because we
0:26:24 are yeah
0:26:25 such high creatures we think that the
0:26:27 tree must be on the floor how can you be
0:26:29 a tree in the sky like how does it work
0:26:34 there he is
0:26:35 that's what he's saying do you think
0:26:38 that the laws that govern
0:26:40 that universe is the same as the law
0:26:42 universe
0:26:43 it's not the same laws that govern the
0:26:45 universe in fact
0:26:47 the Quran actually alludes to that
0:26:51 is
0:26:54 when he created the seven Heavens he
0:26:57 said
0:27:01 that he he gave each of the heaven it's
0:27:04 a fair
0:27:06 meaning yeah there's different rules for
0:27:08 each other
0:27:09 we don't even know what the laws of
0:27:11 physics are going to be in the second
0:27:13 heaven the third let alone the low tree
0:27:15 and this one
0:27:22 that's where Paradise is
0:27:26 that's where the location
0:27:28 where there's Paradise as well
0:27:33 when it covered the low tree which which
0:27:36 did cover it so this was covered this
0:27:38 thing was the low tree was covered up a
0:27:40 little bit
0:27:42 the site
0:27:45 turn not aside left to right nor did it
0:27:48 transgress the bounds
0:27:52 indeed he saw some of the greatest signs
0:27:56 of his Lord
0:27:58 you know like have you ever seen those
0:28:00 animations where you see the Earth
0:28:02 and then you see a big planet and then
0:28:05 you see the Sun and then you see the
0:28:07 Milky Way and then you see whatever
0:28:09 the Galaxy and so on
0:28:12 and then you say
0:28:13 for us we're nothing Annie we're so
0:28:16 insignificant we're yeah like a grain of
0:28:20 sand
0:28:21 in a desert which is in another desert
0:28:23 which is in another and we're so
0:28:25 insignificant
0:28:26 and Allah he took one of us one of the
0:28:29 ibad all the way above and beyond those
0:28:32 seven Heavens which is it boggles the
0:28:36 mind how this can happen it has to be
0:28:37 faster than the speed of light has to be
0:28:40 some faster than any Quantum thing you
0:28:42 can imagine
0:28:43 faster than anything you can imagine and
0:28:45 why not yeah you can a little girl go
0:28:47 faster than the speed of light
0:28:49 you can do this
0:28:51 and he took him to this place where he
0:28:53 saw the big and if if this was the big
0:28:56 ones I want to know what that looks like
0:28:57 and you're not curious to know what this
0:28:59 tree looked like and what this genre
0:29:01 looks like
0:29:02 I'm very curious to know what that looks
0:29:04 like
0:29:06 and then after this
0:29:08 magnificent creation has been described
0:29:11 the Creator imagine the creator of all
0:29:13 of that
0:29:14 when you saw these animations and you
0:29:15 keep going out and it's like we're
0:29:17 nothing and then
0:29:19 we've seen those statues that you
0:29:21 worshiped
0:29:24 so after all of that these are the ones
0:29:25 we worship these ones I can smack his
0:29:27 face and he'll fall off his head
0:29:31 yes
0:29:33 what are you worshiping what the hell is
0:29:35 this thing what is this you smack it you
0:29:38 say it's like when he had one of his
0:29:40 idols and he ate it because he was
0:29:41 hungry
0:29:44 it's made out of dates he said I'm
0:29:45 hungry he's 88 it's good
0:29:48 subhanallah we have now really world
0:29:50 religions that they still give milk to
0:29:54 the garnish or to the idols this one or
0:29:57 that one
0:29:59 and then they come back and they say
0:30:00 look it's gone down a little bit you
0:30:02 must have drank it first of all if you
0:30:04 drank it that's even more problematic
0:30:05 because he needs to drink milk like a
0:30:07 baby no honestly that's not what it
0:30:10 means
0:30:12 I don't even need them
0:30:16 I don't even need the milk
0:30:19 he drank it because it evaporated into
0:30:21 the sky maybe you need one of the white
0:30:23 men with the lap of course to come and
0:30:24 tell you this thing
0:30:30 I love these guys they believe in these
0:30:32 guys they have what they call the Gora
0:30:34 complex
0:30:35 something else we can talk so you you
0:30:37 believe in these statues
0:30:39 they're in the heat they can melt or
0:30:41 they can they can be broken up
0:30:46 and this is
0:30:50 down here
0:30:52 and they will go back to the mentality
0:30:54 of
0:30:55 the cafe right at least at the time
0:31:02 you have the Sun and because remember we
0:31:04 said that they think
0:31:06 if they have daughters is the worst
0:31:07 thing for them
0:31:08 so you're allowed to have the Sun but
0:31:11 Allah
0:31:12 he must have the daughters
0:31:14 which means this great God that created
0:31:16 all these things the seven Heavens
0:31:19 all of this he put his abs up in the sky
0:31:22 he he sent me his great
0:31:25 Angel all of this nobody you worship
0:31:28 these statues and not only that you can
0:31:31 have what you want and God can't have
0:31:33 what he wants
0:31:35 what kind of mentality is this
0:31:41 what kind of mentality I want to know
0:31:43 what mentality that is
0:31:47 this is exactly what it is he the human
0:31:51 being
0:31:53 forgot where he came from he struck a
0:31:55 parable for us and he forgot where he
0:31:57 came from meaning he came from something
0:31:59 we're adding
0:32:01 sperm drops this and that
0:32:06 you need to go to the toilet and stuff
0:32:08 like that you feel really strong and
0:32:09 bigly you can go with the god you can
0:32:11 fight
0:32:12 you go to the toilet you need a drink
0:32:16 at lunch time I needed to eat and stuff
0:32:17 I was so hungry I need to go to the
0:32:19 toilet how can
0:32:22 then
0:32:23 till Christmas
0:32:26 this is a raw deal or this is a
0:32:30 division most unfair
0:32:33 yeah you get to have what you want but
0:32:35 God can't have what you think is better
0:32:36 better
0:32:38 this is very interesting
0:32:39 and then this is where the argumentation
0:32:41 comes
0:32:42 so I want you to kind of we'll we'll
0:32:44 make interactions
0:32:45 I'll recite this because it's a long one
0:32:49 in here
0:33:13 foreign
0:33:25 this one on that one these these are
0:33:27 just names that you put you and your
0:33:28 fathers
0:33:30 or your forefathers Allah has not sent
0:33:32 down any Authority for those
0:33:35 they follow just speculation a guess and
0:33:38 that which they themselves desire it's
0:33:40 very interesting
0:33:42 whereas they surely come to whereas
0:33:45 there has surely come to them the
0:33:47 guidance from their lord
0:33:50 these are just a snap
0:33:53 now in in Kalam in the
0:33:55 there's a whole discussion
0:33:57 is there isn't the same as the musama
0:34:00 and there's all kinds of discussions
0:34:03 like is a name the same as the thing
0:34:04 that it's describing and it can't be
0:34:07 from one perspective because if I say
0:34:09 this is Muhammad
0:34:11 so
0:34:12 it's a Michelle
0:34:13 a name is not the same thing as the
0:34:15 thing that has been describing
0:34:17 if I get a teddy bear and call it
0:34:19 whatever I want to call it it doesn't
0:34:21 mean it has now intrinsic value these
0:34:23 people have just put names
0:34:26 they have glorified their statues with
0:34:28 names and as a result they now have this
0:34:31 complex where they think this is a God
0:34:33 who has Divine characteristics
0:34:35 and they follow it because
0:34:37 their fathers followed it which shows us
0:34:39 we have a very low level idea
0:34:43 tribal mentality when it comes to
0:34:46 following things as human beings
0:34:48 generally even Muslims
0:34:49 even Muslims we all have this thing
0:34:53 but this is where it's very interesting
0:34:57 they are just following speculation
0:35:00 because they have to because there's no
0:35:02 yakim for these things to be true
0:35:07 and what the selves desire why why is
0:35:10 this interesting let me ask you guys
0:35:12 what
0:35:14 did the Quran say elsewhere about Helen
0:35:17 in this particular Surah
0:35:25 in this Surah
0:35:29 [Music]
0:35:31 yeah but the next one
0:35:39 so look say look these guys want to
0:35:43 accuse him of acting from his own
0:35:45 desires trying to fulfill his own
0:35:46 objectives but they are just projecting
0:35:48 what they are actually doing
0:35:51 it doesn't actually benefit any
0:35:53 religious person to have more rules if
0:35:55 they're acting upon their hedonistic
0:35:56 desires
0:35:58 Yanni having more rules means more
0:36:00 restriction means more discipline
0:36:02 Yani believing in a statue that you can
0:36:05 go to it whenever you feel like you need
0:36:06 something and asking it or giving it
0:36:08 milk or doing this
0:36:10 or even what Christians believe in Solo
0:36:12 few day and so you know this idea of
0:36:14 justification through faith alone
0:36:16 all you if you believe in Jesus died for
0:36:18 your sins
0:36:19 everything is okay now even if you're a
0:36:21 pedophile or a murderer
0:36:24 or anything so long as you believe in
0:36:27 this
0:36:28 it's called solar feet
0:36:31 justification through faith alone
0:36:37 and we'll come to in this Surah it talks
0:36:39 about
0:36:41 Alexa
0:36:42 this idea of actually one soul is not
0:36:45 responsible for another Soul thus the
0:36:48 idea of engendering responsibility which
0:36:51 these policies have run away the reason
0:36:53 why policyism and these kind of
0:36:55 religions are
0:36:57 interesting for these people because it
0:36:59 allows them
0:37:00 to live hedonistic Lifestyles to not be
0:37:03 accountable to anybody people are trying
0:37:05 to escape fully from accountability
0:37:16 or shall man have what he wishes
0:37:18 Yani this is a very interesting question
0:37:21 so let me think about this question
0:37:23 well you're gonna have what you want
0:37:25 yeah did you think it goes back to
0:37:28 do you think that you're just here to
0:37:29 enjoy yourself yanny you can have
0:37:32 whatever you want this is your Jannah
0:37:36 is this your state is this what you is
0:37:38 this the entitlement you deserve
0:37:40 without working hard for anything you
0:37:42 can just have what you want
0:37:45 what a question
0:37:49 people say I'll do what I want
0:37:52 Allah says
0:37:54 do you think you can just do whatever
0:37:57 you want
0:38:01 then he answers the question
0:38:07 the Hereafter and the first meaning yeah
0:38:09 do what you want
0:38:10 but there is accountability
0:38:13 he brought you into existence and he'll
0:38:14 take you out of it and bring you back
0:38:16 into it and there will be accountability
0:38:18 in between
0:38:20 and there will be accountability in
0:38:21 between do what you want
0:38:24 someone
0:38:26 who can believe in whoever wants to get
0:38:28 us believe but there will be
0:38:30 accountability
0:38:34 and then
0:38:36 what kind of am I looking for someone
0:38:38 else
0:38:44 and there are many angels in the heavens
0:38:46 whose intercession will not Avail
0:38:49 nothing except after Allah has given
0:38:51 leave to whom he wills and pleases why
0:38:53 is this important that he's mentioning
0:38:55 this because he gave praise to Angel
0:38:57 Gabriel
0:38:59 so somebody might go now listening
0:39:03 he's a strong one
0:39:07 so
0:39:09 to close the door of shirk of the Angels
0:39:11 Allah saying No this if you want to
0:39:14 benefit from the Angels they they don't
0:39:16 they have no power against me they have
0:39:18 to go through intercession process
0:39:19 that's the only thing they can do
0:39:22 but in terms of the hierarchy Allah
0:39:25 so it's reaffirming this point
0:39:34 verily those who believe not in the
0:39:36 Hereafter they will name the Angels or
0:39:39 female names we said this already they
0:39:41 say that the angels of the doses of God
0:39:42 so they'll give them female names so
0:39:44 they have this Pantheon of Gods
0:39:48 and this is very interesting they don't
0:39:50 have any knowledge of this and this is a
0:39:51 very interesting Guida here which is a
0:39:53 principle
0:40:00 what a powerful way of putting it
0:40:02 all they have is speculation
0:40:06 and speculation doesn't detract from
0:40:09 certainty in the least
0:40:10 now let me give an example
0:40:12 if I say two plus two equals four
0:40:15 and then you get the most skeptical
0:40:17 mathematician philosopher coming and say
0:40:19 listen I don't actually met one like
0:40:21 that all day because I don't believe in
0:40:23 two plus two plus four
0:40:25 I said I met this guy he had like not
0:40:28 dreadlocks but he's you know funny huh
0:40:31 he does believe in it but he's lying to
0:40:32 me yeah
0:40:33 I know he's lying because if because if
0:40:36 his life depended on it and stuff do you
0:40:38 believe in it he'd say yes I do but he
0:40:40 just wanted to play the fool because
0:40:42 that's the Persona that he's made for
0:40:44 himself like many people
0:40:49 if I say I don't believe in two plus two
0:40:51 equals four
0:40:52 or like a Christian would say that one
0:40:54 plus one plus one equals one yeah well
0:40:56 zero plus zero as the atheist will say
0:40:58 equals one yeah whatever were you saying
0:41:01 whatever you say it doesn't matter
0:41:03 because
0:41:04 your speculation does not change the
0:41:07 fact
0:41:17 this is a very power the hack is
0:41:19 self-sufficient itself and obviously
0:41:21 Allah
0:41:22 the ultimate
0:41:24 manifestation of Truth
0:41:27 is Allah
0:41:28 but truth itself is self-sufficient it
0:41:31 does not require your approval
0:41:35 doesn't care about your philosophizing
0:41:39 someone said I don't like that
0:41:42 um
0:41:43 go back to this point
0:41:45 because there's two reasons why someone
0:41:48 will reject the truth
0:41:49 ignorance
0:41:51 in the form of speculation and power
0:41:53 desire
0:41:55 and Allah is addressing both of those
0:41:57 two reasons in this very small Passage
0:42:04 they are just following desires or they
0:42:07 are following speculation and what their
0:42:09 desires what their next desires that's
0:42:11 the reason why people don't believe in
0:42:13 religion it's not because of some
0:42:15 sophisticated philosophical proof
0:42:18 it's because they want to continue
0:42:19 smoking drinking
0:42:21 having intercourse with that one and
0:42:22 this one and that one
0:42:24 addicted to this
0:42:26 and on that
0:42:30 some desires are so powerful
0:42:33 as we'll see in the next Surah
0:42:36 that Allah doesn't even start sometimes
0:42:38 without hate because that needs to be
0:42:40 crushed first
0:42:42 and there's only one example in the
0:42:43 whole Quran of a prophet who went to his
0:42:45 people
0:42:47 and he didn't start by saying believe in
0:42:50 one one God do you know who this is
0:42:56 every other Prophet is
0:43:00 you don't have any other believe in
0:43:02 Allah you have no other God but him but
0:43:05 a lot he said no he started off by
0:43:07 telling addressing homosexuality
0:43:09 can you imagine because no matter what
0:43:14 the desire is too strong
0:43:16 it needs to be cracked that we need to
0:43:19 address the elephant in the room we
0:43:20 can't even go further we're not going to
0:43:22 speak to you about tohedia we need to
0:43:25 deconstruct because before we can
0:43:26 reconstruct with this because that
0:43:28 desire is very strong why because
0:43:31 homosexuals
0:43:33 for example and we'll speak about it
0:43:35 more on the next one tomorrow
0:43:37 because Loth is mentioned then so it'll
0:43:40 come up for his people at Lisa
0:43:44 when they love a person you love another
0:43:46 person I mean you can have a sexual
0:43:48 attraction to another man
0:43:50 but you can also have a romantic they
0:43:52 have romantic and sexual it's double
0:43:56 that is a very powerful thing very
0:43:59 difficult to crack
0:44:00 and of the people that are most
0:44:02 promiscuous in the society by statistics
0:44:06 or people that engage in most
0:44:09 acts of sexual of a sexual nature
0:44:12 homosexuals have a high record
0:44:14 very high record
0:44:16 so
0:44:18 the way of Luther was he actually
0:44:21 addressed that issue before you can go
0:44:22 further
0:44:27 the point I'm making here is that there
0:44:29 are two things what are those two things
0:44:30 which
0:44:32 which drive away a person from
0:44:35 Faith let's say
0:44:37 what did we say they were
0:44:42 yeah desire and
0:44:44 ignorance yes or you can say speculation
0:44:47 but ignorance is good it's fine
0:44:50 so Allah is saying now
0:44:57 so leave these guys
0:44:59 who have now
0:45:02 turn away from our reminder and desires
0:45:05 nothing but the life of this world
0:45:07 that's that is their state now all they
0:45:09 want is
0:45:11 the desires of this Dunya but let me
0:45:14 just be open with you and let's ask a
0:45:16 serious question for a second yes
0:45:21 I'm struggling or maybe should I ask
0:45:24 this question but yes I will ask this
0:45:25 question
0:45:26 yes I will ask this question
0:45:28 I have to get your attention somehow
0:45:29 right
0:45:30 yeah well you guys are tired so I have
0:45:31 to drum roll it a little bit get you
0:45:33 curious what questions are you gonna ask
0:45:34 let me
0:45:38 very important question
0:45:42 is this on a serious level what are the
0:45:45 most
0:45:46 pleasurable things you can do in Estonia
0:45:50 talk to the person next to you I'll let
0:45:51 you have
0:45:53 seriously and be as honest as possible
0:45:56 what are the most euphoric things
0:45:57 pleasurable things and yeah
0:46:00 not now I'll give you three minutes to
0:46:02 think about it with the person next to
0:46:03 you yes and then we'll come back and
0:46:06 talk about it
0:46:07 go ahead
0:46:10 go ahead sir
0:46:22 delicious
0:46:54 thank you
0:47:26 okay I think that's enough to time to
0:47:29 think about this particular thing
0:47:33 he wants to your share first
0:47:35 okay or your husband went straight up go
0:47:38 ahead brother yes no I mean there's a
0:47:42 okay beautiful no I want your list
0:47:45 okay I'm not yours I mean yeah I mean go
0:47:49 ahead
0:47:52 yeah
0:47:54 okay yeah beautiful okay
0:47:57 and there is actually
0:47:58 um Hadith
0:48:03 which says
0:48:17 he says that this is something
0:48:20 like he put this in me do two things I
0:48:23 like good smells
0:48:24 it's a very innocent statement I like
0:48:26 good smells nice perfume thing and I've
0:48:28 also women because this is how Allah
0:48:30 created me
0:48:33 but we are going to the point and the
0:48:35 list is good
0:48:36 now let's let's take some of those
0:48:38 examples yeah let's say we have shahua
0:48:40 of food
0:48:42 we like probably many of you do have
0:48:43 right now yeah yeah am I so many of you
0:48:47 hungry yeah
0:48:49 if I bring now I'm not going to do this
0:48:51 again to you guys but if I bring a big
0:48:52 you know say look we've got the food
0:48:54 ready here everyone's gonna say forget
0:48:55 this guy switch off let's eat the food
0:48:57 you know
0:48:58 it depends on what kind of food we're
0:49:00 talking about
0:49:01 now when you've eaten the food
0:49:05 now imagine you've eaten a big food like
0:49:07 big meal a big food a big meal yeah and
0:49:10 you're satiate it now you're full
0:49:13 foreign you're all right
0:49:16 how do you feel now
0:49:20 you don't want to see it again you don't
0:49:23 want to you don't you're not interested
0:49:24 in eating food again right
0:49:26 okay so it's done something it's
0:49:28 momentary is it not momentary you're
0:49:30 hungry okay let me ask you when was the
0:49:32 last time you got really hungry and you
0:49:33 had a fantastic experience by eating
0:49:35 something and satiating yourself you
0:49:38 probably can't remember because that was
0:49:39 often
0:49:40 it's not a memorable experience it's
0:49:42 just like an everyday experience
0:49:44 am I right
0:49:45 like let me give you an example when you
0:49:47 go to the toilet and we relieve
0:49:48 ourselves do you ever think that yeah
0:49:49 and it's such a fantastic experience
0:49:51 but it's relief isn't it
0:49:54 likewise I'm saying that the things in
0:49:55 the Dunya even like of a sexual nature
0:49:58 it's so momentary after that class you
0:50:01 just want to go to sleep or have a drink
0:50:02 or whatever you do right
0:50:04 but you forget about it the next day
0:50:07 you can do it a thousand times you can
0:50:09 do it ten thousand you can eat 10 000
0:50:10 meals and none of them will be truly
0:50:13 memorable they're always amazing no not
0:50:15 really
0:50:16 well the question is what can the Dunya
0:50:18 offer me then
0:50:19 yeah momentary relief from time to times
0:50:23 that's basically what it came off of me
0:50:25 there animal you're giving me momentary
0:50:27 relief from time to time
0:50:29 is that what you're giving me
0:50:36 exactly you know how long it's nothing
0:50:38 it's yeah there's somebody I Hadith on
0:50:40 the matter but what I'm saying is what
0:50:41 can you offer me
0:50:45 yeah if you have one billion pound I'll
0:50:47 give you one billion dollars yeah we're
0:50:49 gonna do this
0:50:55 I had a friend of mine
0:50:58 he's not in jail for a reason I can't
0:51:00 think it's close
0:51:02 he came long time ago and he said you
0:51:04 know he had a Rolls Royce very nice
0:51:06 Phantom I'm coming with it
0:51:07 I go into it I didn't feel that
0:51:09 comfortable in there
0:51:10 I don't know why I was at the time I was
0:51:12 driving in Nissan Qashqai
0:51:15 and I was like you know I was comparing
0:51:17 it with the Nissan and I was actually
0:51:18 making a case for why my Nissan is more
0:51:20 comfortable
0:51:22 I was like look you know my Nissan I
0:51:24 don't have to you know this and that and
0:51:25 it doesn't get smashed all the time and
0:51:27 that thing someone can snatch it off you
0:51:29 know you know that the Rolls-Royce logo
0:51:30 but it goes in he goes no it goes in I
0:51:32 was like it doesn't matter if it goes on
0:51:33 how much how big is your liter he was
0:51:35 like it was eight liters I cannot wait
0:51:36 it was huge
0:51:37 I said so how much you have to pay for
0:51:39 petrol is it like a thousand pounds a
0:51:40 month I said I only have to pay 3 400.
0:51:42 so I was making a case I mean what can
0:51:45 you do with the money go traveling here
0:51:46 in the house you've been to a few
0:51:48 countries you've seen uh you've seen
0:51:49 this climate you've seen this one you've
0:51:50 ate that food plus there's a limited
0:51:52 things you can do
0:51:54 in this Dunya what can you offer me
0:51:57 yeah why is this done you're so
0:52:00 amazing for people
0:52:02 you just have to show them
0:52:05 that it's not all that
0:52:09 I'll be controversial for a second yeah
0:52:13 you get people that are addicted to kind
0:52:14 of pornographic stuff and you know
0:52:16 homosexuality and all these kind of
0:52:17 things like that you know a lot of them
0:52:18 they come to me for some reason they
0:52:20 think I'm some kind of psychologist
0:52:22 maybe because I spoke to Jordan Peterson
0:52:26 although I'm thinking himself will
0:52:27 probably come to me next
0:52:30 I'm waiting for the email how can you
0:52:33 help me with my
0:52:34 unstable state or whatever you may ask
0:52:38 but I'm saying
0:52:40 they tell you this and they tell you
0:52:42 that and they say you know
0:52:48 my question is
0:52:51 don't you find it quite boring and they
0:52:53 find that so surprising
0:52:55 you're always on the same website seeing
0:52:58 the same things same videos like a lot
0:53:00 of them I asked them I said so you watch
0:53:01 pornography
0:53:03 so what you've seen here guys I've seen
0:53:05 this this one I said this that
0:53:07 categories and this category to go and
0:53:08 they know everything about the website
0:53:11 yes they might as well design it next
0:53:14 time
0:53:15 they've seen all the videos
0:53:17 so I think after you've seen it for the
0:53:19 fifth time do you not find it boring
0:53:22 because you know what yeah I do actually
0:53:24 it's so boring yo Dunya is boring to me
0:53:28 this is boring
0:53:29 it's not interesting
0:53:31 Johnny I'll be honest with you the
0:53:33 deepest emotions in this Dunya are not
0:53:35 this radial stuff low-level stuff the
0:53:37 deepest one is love
0:53:39 your child or your mother that is
0:53:42 something Allah has put it in us and
0:53:44 he's that is a serious one that one
0:53:46 there serious
0:53:48 but then
0:53:51 there's all the things that come with
0:53:52 love pain anxiety jealousy anger
0:53:55 frustration Yani love has a heavy
0:53:58 taxation in this Dunya
0:54:00 there's not one person that you love
0:54:01 that you haven't been hurt by I can tell
0:54:03 you that for a friend as the previous
0:54:05 Heir your family will be with you
0:54:10 it's just that pure you don't have
0:54:12 jealousy you don't have anger you don't
0:54:14 have anxiety
0:54:16 machine doing this is you doing that and
0:54:17 always
0:54:19 you can just bask in the enjoyment of
0:54:22 the of the
0:54:26 is why that is a huge thing that I think
0:54:30 we forget in the doubt a lot of the time
0:54:33 we forget it this is one of the hugest
0:54:35 incentives that we have
0:54:37 the ansar
0:54:39 came to Islam based on the promise of
0:54:40 Jannah because they truly believed in it
0:54:42 because they knew this man couldn't lie
0:54:45 now we have more incentive to believe in
0:54:47 it because of the technological reality
0:54:49 that we live in yet we don't
0:54:59 he tells us the reason why Allah tells
0:55:01 us the reason why they are like this
0:55:02 because that is the extent of their
0:55:04 knowledge
0:55:05 yeah for them the material world
0:55:08 is the extent of their knowledge that
0:55:09 they are so like materialist
0:55:12 philosophers and scientists
0:55:14 are not just
0:55:17 ignorant
0:55:19 but they stop themselves from being able
0:55:21 to expand in their knowledge they
0:55:24 there's a boundary they've created so we
0:55:26 don't we're not willing to accept
0:55:27 anything above and beyond this reality
0:55:29 which is it's it's a kind of
0:55:31 self-sabotage self-sabotage I'm willing
0:55:34 to accept this knowledge you suffer
0:55:39 will Allah
0:55:46 and to Allah belongs all that is in the
0:55:48 heavens and the Earth
0:55:50 that he may require those who do evil
0:55:52 which that which they have done and
0:55:54 reward those who do good with that which
0:55:55 is best
0:55:57 interesting
0:55:59 difference here it's like what Allah
0:56:01 says
0:56:03 when he talks about the people of
0:56:05 Hellfire this is an appropriate
0:56:07 punishment and then he says about the
0:56:09 people of Heaven he says
0:56:11 it's the same kind of formulation he
0:56:14 doesn't say this is because
0:56:16 you know you deserve this no he says
0:56:18 it's because I'm giving it to you Jannah
0:56:19 is a gift hell
0:56:22 is a punishment which is appropriate for
0:56:24 your actions
0:56:27 as a gift
0:56:29 and we all know that Hadith he said that
0:56:32 you know no one will be given General
0:56:34 because of their deeds and so on yeah if
0:56:36 you don't you can refer to that headed
0:56:42 those who ward off the major hawash so
0:56:46 Allah is now giving us incentives that
0:56:47 it's not as hard as you think in the
0:56:49 beginning he would say look these guys
0:56:50 are all Dunya guys
0:56:52 and they don't really want to change
0:56:53 their lives and they have two barriers
0:56:55 to Faith which is
0:56:59 these are two barriers of Faith but it's
0:57:02 not just your wife a child as well
0:57:05 it's doubts and desires
0:57:08 these are the two barriers to face
0:57:09 doubts and desires
0:57:13 by now he's giving us a center he says
0:57:19 the ones who ward off the big sins the
0:57:22 major ones
0:57:23 is the small sins so Allah has not
0:57:26 giving you an allowance you can do
0:57:27 whoever you want he says like look if
0:57:28 you make mistakes don't worry
0:57:32 every human being makes mistake and the
0:57:34 best ones who make mistakes are the ones
0:57:35 who come back
0:57:37 you see
0:57:38 um
0:57:39 Allah is very you know
0:57:43 um forgiving
0:57:46 he knows well
0:57:48 when he created you from the earth and
0:57:50 when you were fetuses in your mother's
0:57:52 wombs
0:57:54 so ascribe not Purity to yourselves
0:57:57 meaning don't praise yourselves
0:58:00 he knows best who fears Allah
0:58:03 so he knows you Allah knows you from the
0:58:05 fetal stages all the way up to the end
0:58:10 and then
0:58:12 did you see and observe the one who
0:58:14 turned away from Islam
0:58:19 and gave a little then stopped giving
0:58:22 and
0:58:24 we'll see this in the next Surah as well
0:58:27 uh
0:58:29 uh
0:58:31 you know do they have the hype actually
0:58:34 that was in the previous one
0:58:35 do they have the hype so they can write
0:58:37 it down
0:58:41 the question here is do you guys have
0:58:43 the Unseen
0:58:45 have you got a patent a trademark a
0:58:47 copyright
0:58:49 to the Unseen you're telling me this
0:58:51 doesn't exist and that one and the the
0:58:53 this one doesn't exist and this one does
0:58:54 have you got have you got now a patent
0:58:57 on the Unseen
0:58:59 is this what it is
0:59:07 or is he not informed without us in the
0:59:10 pages of Moses which shows you why is
0:59:12 Allah mentioning Moses here because it's
0:59:14 trying to say this idea of ripe is
0:59:16 mentioned in previous scriptures it's
0:59:18 not a New Concept
0:59:20 it's been around actually it's got a
0:59:22 historical past
0:59:23 is mentioned in other religions
0:59:26 Islam didn't come about just like that
0:59:27 it came about with other prophets before
0:59:29 it who said similar things this is not
0:59:32 tilak
0:59:34 um
0:59:38 I'm not something new from the prophets
0:59:42 I'm not something new yeah
0:59:45 I'm not someone new meaning there are
0:59:48 prophets that came before I have
0:59:49 precedent
0:59:56 all that which Allah ordered him to
0:59:58 convey Allah
1:00:01 that no burden person shall bear the
1:00:04 burden of another
1:00:06 well later
1:00:07 and that man can have nothing
1:00:10 but what he does good or bad
1:00:13 and that his deeds will be seen
1:00:19 then you'll be recompensed with a full
1:00:22 and best recompense
1:00:26 and to your lord is the end of
1:00:30 everything
1:00:31 foreign
1:00:34 and to see who makes people laugh and
1:00:36 makes people cry
1:00:40 and see you causes death and gives life
1:00:46 and he creates the Pez the male and the
1:00:49 female
1:00:50 from a semen drop
1:00:53 when it's emitted
1:00:57 and upon Him is another bring
1:01:00 about in Resurrection so why is Allah
1:01:02 mentioned
1:01:04 that you are agenda
1:01:06 um
1:01:07 that you are fetuses in your mother's
1:01:09 womb now he's mentioning that he's gonna
1:01:11 bring you again because he's trying to
1:01:14 narrow the bridge of incredulity
1:01:17 you find it so unbelievable that you'll
1:01:19 be brought again
1:01:21 why is it so hard to believe
1:01:24 that Allah can bring you back to life
1:01:27 he'd done it before
1:01:30 it has precedence it's not only the
1:01:32 prophet Muhammad's precedent but the
1:01:35 fact that you will be brought back to
1:01:37 life has precedent
1:01:38 Johnny what is science
1:01:41 if not the investigation of past
1:01:43 patterns of natural behavior
1:01:46 to predict the future that is what
1:01:48 science is you look at the past to see
1:01:50 how the future is going to operate
1:01:53 you you see what the boiling point of
1:01:55 water is and then you see okay then
1:01:57 therefore when the is 100 degrees next
1:01:59 time when water boils will be 100
1:02:01 degrees
1:02:02 so we know how to predict things in
1:02:04 science based on precedent
1:02:06 in law you come in with precedent it's a
1:02:10 it's a classic argument
1:02:12 it's all you know
1:02:14 that things come into being in this way
1:02:16 as fetuses and they grow
1:02:19 and they start as a drop of sperm
1:02:22 let's be honest a drop of sperm becoming
1:02:26 a fully fleshed man a fully flesh woman
1:02:30 to me that's as unbelievable as some
1:02:33 dust on the floor becoming fully flesh
1:02:34 woman
1:02:36 the only thing that is different is the
1:02:38 mechanism
1:02:43 how it happens that is the only thing
1:02:45 that is different it's not gonna happen
1:02:47 in the wounds the womb of the mother tie
1:02:49 it let me tell you something if you saw
1:02:51 on the news and let's be honest
1:02:53 that some scientists somewhere were able
1:02:55 to get the DNA of somebody and create a
1:02:58 clone from in in some incubator some
1:03:00 human-sized incubator big one
1:03:03 it wouldn't be too hard for us to
1:03:04 believe would it
1:03:07 I say look we've got we collected the
1:03:09 DNA extracts of this person who died and
1:03:13 we were able to regenerate him
1:03:15 while he atheists would believe that if
1:03:17 it came from their sources if it came
1:03:19 from their priests their white men
1:03:21 priests with black codes
1:03:23 if Elon Musk
1:03:25 came and told us we have been able not
1:03:28 to just dilute neuralink but we did
1:03:30 something called human cloning agency
1:03:32 whatever
1:03:33 and the way we did it we took an extract
1:03:35 we took these guys we put them into a
1:03:38 human-sized incubator and they grew
1:03:39 again without a womb now we do not
1:03:43 require the womb of the mother in order
1:03:46 for a baby to be born as a revelation
1:03:48 but it's something we're able to do
1:03:50 like in the 1999 film The Matrix where
1:03:54 the future dystopian future was was
1:03:57 portrayed
1:03:59 as humans yeah and growing on trees
1:04:01 basically
1:04:02 and it wasn't something incredulous for
1:04:04 the people to believe
1:04:06 Elon Musk said that and he showed a
1:04:08 couple of videos here and there without
1:04:10 anyone seeing or batting an eyelid even
1:04:13 if it was done in Hollywood they would
1:04:15 believe their priests
1:04:25 it's a dangerous world
1:04:26 yeah we live in because priests are no
1:04:28 longer just called priests religion has
1:04:30 lost its currency
1:04:32 well at least the Christian religion has
1:04:34 and therefore these new Priests of
1:04:36 atheism and Technology have come about
1:04:39 to replace them
1:04:42 but Allah is saying why is it so
1:04:44 difficult to believe in the resurrection
1:04:47 when it was done before
1:04:52 when
1:04:53 he is the one who gives much more little
1:04:58 than even in contentment outside in the
1:05:00 in the Hadith very famous
1:05:09 comes and gives him four kalimat and one
1:05:11 of them is
1:05:13 so he is the one who's in charge of
1:05:15 who's going to be happy and who's going
1:05:16 to be sad
1:05:19 Allah has given you this is
1:05:23 people get jealous and say I want this
1:05:24 what he has people have Hazard to say no
1:05:26 I want this guy I want this guys
1:05:29 this is like a bank account it's like a
1:05:31 container you have your portion for the
1:05:32 Dunya don't wish that I wish that this
1:05:34 guy didn't have it I want to have it
1:05:37 he's the one Allah who separates the
1:05:39 risk he does all these things
1:05:44 and he is the one who's the lord of the
1:05:46 Sirius which is a type of star which
1:05:49 subhanallah which again the stars are
1:05:51 being connected beginning and end of the
1:05:53 sun you can see Charlotte is a type of
1:05:56 stuff but they used to worship this time
1:05:57 he say no he is the one who created that
1:05:59 star
1:06:06 and he's the one who destroyed the
1:06:07 former people of height
1:06:09 and Allah keeps mentioning to us in the
1:06:11 Quran he destroyed this people and he
1:06:13 destroyed that one and he destroyed
1:06:15 these people why
1:06:16 because people are so impressed with
1:06:18 themselves
1:06:20 civilizations people of civilization say
1:06:22 look at our civilization have you seen
1:06:23 our vegetable Capital have you seen our
1:06:25 tall buildings have you seen what
1:06:26 inventions we've created for us we've
1:06:28 made the plane the Wright brothers even
1:06:30 though it's not true it was a Brazilian
1:06:31 guy who could commit suicide action
1:06:33 because he saw that the plane was being
1:06:35 used to bomb for war and so he killed
1:06:38 himself by the way the white man had to
1:06:40 take uh the credit
1:06:42 well at least the Wright brothers tried
1:06:44 to take the credit he created this and
1:06:46 he created that and whatever
1:06:48 look at us we're Unstoppable really
1:06:50 make America great again as if it was
1:06:53 great before
1:06:56 us okay we admit it's a great
1:06:58 civilization for the sake of argument
1:07:00 you know fantastic we've got Burgers I
1:07:02 have the burger myself you have big
1:07:04 buildings you have fantastic you know
1:07:06 this and that you win the Olympics
1:07:08 you've missed a few inventions I agree
1:07:10 the western civilization has produced so
1:07:12 much in the last 50 years by way of
1:07:14 Science and Technology it has
1:07:16 outstripped the Muslim world
1:07:18 I agree with this point however
1:07:20 in terms of science and technology
1:07:22 there's no there's not much of the
1:07:23 argument here
1:07:24 however
1:07:25 who cares
1:07:27 so what's that
1:07:29 the Richer we are the more true we are
1:07:30 is that your argument is that the
1:07:32 argument of Jordan Peterson the more
1:07:34 money we have in the country has the
1:07:35 more true we are away anywhere on the
1:07:37 hack
1:07:38 so when you were poor you were false
1:07:39 yeah and you became true
1:07:42 what about Japan
1:07:44 they're not westerners they have a lot
1:07:46 of money you see
1:07:47 anyway this is all nonsense Allah is
1:07:50 saying all of the previous civilizations
1:07:51 how great they were let me tell you
1:07:54 something the Egyptian civilization I'm
1:07:56 not saying this because I'm an Egyptian
1:07:58 but they were fantastic for their time
1:08:01 unbelievable well like you see these
1:08:03 pyramids
1:08:05 something else I think have you seen
1:08:06 that imagine four thousand years three
1:08:08 thousand years ago you have a pyramid
1:08:09 like that
1:08:10 and they have all these things and
1:08:12 they're doing maths and they're doing
1:08:13 they've got a language in human
1:08:14 civilization
1:08:16 it's all dead you can go and see it if I
1:08:18 only lived in this place
1:08:20 but look at what they are now mummies
1:08:22 and stuff in there so some kid looks at
1:08:24 in the glass and says look at this fool
1:08:25 look at this little mummies and December
1:08:27 and they're in Halloween they put them
1:08:28 stuff like that and they go ha ha and
1:08:31 this is the guy that was walking around
1:08:33 am I not the one who's in charge of
1:08:35 Egypt we're here
1:08:37 and the and the rivers are underneath me
1:08:41 and like he's a god diani
1:08:44 people today they think that they are
1:08:45 something
1:08:47 McGregor walking in the civilian air in
1:08:50 the center
1:08:51 he didn't even need to wait till the day
1:08:52 of judgment before his humiliation
1:09:01 yes Allah is now bringing you back to
1:09:05 reality humbling you
1:09:07 to look at the people of Art
1:09:09 look at the people of the mood look at
1:09:10 this ones look at that ones
1:09:16 pound for pound they were better than
1:09:17 you guys
1:09:18 how old is the western civilization
1:09:21 how long has America been in charge 20
1:09:24 years
1:09:26 30 years fine 30 years until the end of
1:09:28 the Cold War until now 30 years been in
1:09:30 charge
1:09:31 yes you're the global superpower
1:09:34 it's nothing
1:09:35 you have civilizations that were for
1:09:37 thousands of years the Romans the Roman
1:09:39 Empire for thousands of years look at
1:09:41 them
1:09:42 look at the Greeks oh you know
1:09:46 look at them look at the stuff they had
1:09:48 the philosophy they had is much better
1:09:49 than the philosophy they have now
1:09:51 the discoveries they made for that time
1:09:52 is mind-boggling actually
1:09:57 something else but look where they are
1:09:59 now where is Aristotle now where is
1:10:01 Socrates come to the ground here he's
1:10:03 been there
1:10:06 the the the worms are eating him
1:10:09 actually they finished them already
1:10:12 the greatest of the great great guys of
1:10:15 the past they're all finished they're
1:10:16 done
1:10:18 so Allah is saying look
1:10:22 and he's the one who destroyed the
1:10:24 former people right
1:10:27 and the people of the mood he spared
1:10:29 none of them they all finished it
1:10:30 because this is wallahi I didn't know
1:10:32 this until fairly recently one of the
1:10:35 top arguments against Islam
1:10:38 they say if Islam is true why are you
1:10:40 countries behind
1:10:43 what you mean I mean what kind of
1:10:45 argument is this
1:10:49 it's like is this a rational argument
1:10:52 the Richer I am the more true I am
1:10:55 no it's not a rational argument
1:10:57 More Money More truth
1:10:59 that means the more money you have that
1:11:01 you become your truth is not complete
1:11:03 yet you need more to get me more true
1:11:09 and also and these three are usually
1:11:12 paired together
1:11:15 sometimes
1:11:16 these four are usually sometimes put
1:11:19 together
1:11:25 they were even more rebellious and
1:11:27 transgressing that's what they are
1:11:29 they're rebellious people
1:11:30 because when you have money see the
1:11:32 atheist makes an argument I even watched
1:11:34 the debate with one of our brothers
1:11:35 Daniel
1:11:36 was an atheist and he was this was his
1:11:39 argument he was saying look at all the
1:11:40 countries that have atheists they have
1:11:41 more money which means atheism is good
1:11:45 this is argument can you believe he came
1:11:46 to a public debate
1:11:48 and this this is his imagine I'm
1:11:52 wondering what he thought to himself
1:11:53 before he presented this to the public
1:11:55 when he was eating his pot noodles
1:11:57 and he was on his pornographic website
1:12:00 and he was eating the pot noodles and he
1:12:02 was watching TV or was his wife walking
1:12:04 his dog or his stroking his cat and his
1:12:07 probably thinking to himself what do I
1:12:10 say atheism yes
1:12:12 good because The Atheist Societies are
1:12:14 good because yeah they have a good a GDP
1:12:16 per capita or because the life
1:12:18 expectancy is high
1:12:20 you think the life expectancy of a
1:12:22 country like Sweden where most people
1:12:24 are depressed and actually have the
1:12:25 highest suicide rates the more they live
1:12:28 the more punishment to give themselves
1:12:30 what are you talking about what are you
1:12:32 talking why are you talking please tell
1:12:34 me but what I'm saying here is that they
1:12:36 were even more rebellious
1:12:38 and Allah destroyed them man
1:12:41 having more money does not mean
1:12:43 having more truth
1:12:45 I know that sounds like a simple thing
1:12:47 to say
1:12:49 but people don't think simply people
1:12:51 think simply unfortunately so we have to
1:12:54 just make it as simple as that
1:12:56 some of the greatest scientists were the
1:12:58 poorest men in life well they were false
1:13:00 because they were they didn't have the
1:13:02 money
1:13:05 yeah
1:13:07 exactly you know he thinks that is Mel
1:13:10 made him
1:13:11 Muhammad made him someone who can be
1:13:15 eternally living why because it gives
1:13:16 you a false sense of stability
1:13:18 and that's the idea it's not a
1:13:20 contradiction or it's not a surprise
1:13:22 that you have an atheist where there is
1:13:25 money
1:13:26 we don't know what causes what
1:13:28 correlation does not mean causation
1:13:29 there's an equal case to be made that
1:13:31 where you've been given money you have
1:13:33 more money you have more atheism why
1:13:34 because you don't feel like you need
1:13:35 religion all your needs are being met
1:13:38 I don't need the god that's what they
1:13:40 say I've got everything I need I got my
1:13:42 food I got my drink I forgot this I've
1:13:44 got that why do I need to go
1:13:46 how do you believe in science
1:13:49 because you know why because he doesn't
1:13:50 want to Humble himself because he's so
1:13:52 used to telling other people what to do
1:13:54 and doing this and trampling on the
1:13:55 proletaria and the way of the working
1:13:57 class that's why the prophet told us the
1:13:59 people who were coming into Islam
1:14:00 actually will be the Working Class
1:14:02 People
1:14:03 and and you know
1:14:05 went to him he told him this that most
1:14:07 of his followers are going to yeah
1:14:08 another proletariat or the world-class
1:14:10 people
1:14:12 that's if anything the fact that there's
1:14:13 people in the Muslim world were
1:14:15 impoverished and disenfranchised it is
1:14:18 something which the prophet told us
1:14:19 already a thousand four hundred years
1:14:20 ago yeah
1:14:22 it doesn't mean anything to us
1:14:24 the question is does yes
1:14:27 that's true
1:14:30 it doesn't have protection yeah but
1:14:34 uh I don't think we should undermine the
1:14:35 idea that uh if Islam is
1:14:38 to see and you know this if Islam is
1:14:40 like use
1:14:41 properly
1:14:42 leadership role in government it does
1:14:45 lead to overall well-being in society
1:14:47 yeah of course
1:14:53 so sometimes you'll be rich sometimes
1:14:55 you will not be rich sometimes if
1:14:56 Victorious
1:14:58 and yes well that's true if you put
1:15:00 everything in place you could become
1:15:02 financially rich and all these kind of
1:15:04 things other times you want you'll do
1:15:05 everything right and you'll still not be
1:15:07 successful that's why prophets like
1:15:11 there's a magic ingredient right when I
1:15:14 say magic here I don't mean it obviously
1:15:15 some literally it's not going to be
1:15:16 online saying this thing but I'm saying
1:15:18 some there is a secret ingredient
1:15:20 foreign
1:15:25 when you want to be successful in any
1:15:27 field there's two components hard work
1:15:29 some are all the things we talked about
1:15:31 following the rules whatever rules they
1:15:32 may be until fear from Allah there's two
1:15:35 things somebody can work for 20 years
1:15:38 trying to do something our life someone
1:15:39 could do it in one day but because
1:15:41 happen one day
1:15:44 and that is something which is like
1:15:46 sometimes this can be like rain you go
1:15:48 under the thing and it comes on you you
1:15:51 don't you cannot pull it from the sky
1:15:52 you cannot pull the water go into this
1:15:54 thing and take it it comes to you
1:15:57 so you cannot force certain risk is
1:16:00 going to be like that and some other
1:16:01 things are going to be you put the work
1:16:03 in that's the general rule is we put the
1:16:04 work in this when
1:16:08 that you put the work in you get the
1:16:09 results whoever you even you are kaffir
1:16:11 or believer or disbeliever but sometimes
1:16:13 Allah can give you a lot from a little
1:16:16 and this is what Baraka actually is
1:16:18 but the definition of Monica is getting
1:16:20 a lot from allele
1:16:23 and Alana is removal of Baraka
1:16:26 so we have to anyway
1:16:37 so they covered them
1:16:39 that which they did cover them and by
1:16:41 the way this
1:16:43 uh or this stuff Shia I don't know the
1:16:46 master of this word is but this way of
1:16:49 covering is mentioned the beginning of
1:16:51 the Surah
1:16:53 remember
1:16:55 it used the same language which shows
1:16:57 you the lexical similarity you see
1:16:59 what's happening here
1:17:00 between the two that'll be eight years
1:17:04 and this is already anticipating two
1:17:06 stories down the line this is going to
1:17:08 be the question that's asked which is
1:17:12 tomorrow and then which of the Great
1:17:14 Graces of your Lord will you doubt has
1:17:19 this is a Warner from the Warners of old
1:17:22 as if so the day of judgment draws near
1:17:26 and this is like a sudden shift
1:17:29 Southern shift foreign
1:17:37 it's like a slap in the face that's it
1:17:39 it's happening
1:17:40 you know and this kind of
1:17:43 Southern beginning is going to you're
1:17:44 going to say
1:17:46 when the same kind of thing it's going
1:17:48 to start like that next Surah tomorrow
1:17:53 this kind of Southern shift
1:17:56 that no one can refer to
1:17:58 averted or delay it
1:18:02 foreign
1:18:03 [Music]
1:18:05 remember in the previous Surah I was
1:18:08 saying make you sort of like it if it's
1:18:09 so easy to and if you're truthful make
1:18:11 it sort of like a hearing are you
1:18:13 finding this quite interesting
1:18:15 yeah are you finding this wondrous
1:18:18 yeah it's a very confident thing to ask
1:18:19 after our entire prose what do you think
1:18:21 of this basically saying
1:18:23 are you finding this is this making you
1:18:25 feel estranged a little bit what yanny
1:18:27 amazed even
1:18:29 no
1:18:33 yeah and you want to laugh at our
1:18:35 beliefs Like Richard Dawkins saying this
1:18:36 one and that one you want to love
1:18:38 well
1:18:39 wasting your precious Lifetime and
1:18:41 Pastime and Amusements
1:18:46 playing games it's like what we said in
1:18:47 the previous Surah that there they were
1:18:50 playing
1:18:54 uh
1:18:57 I forgot that
1:19:00 is
1:19:03 so full down in frustrations Allah and
1:19:06 worship him
1:19:07 we won't do that yanny but yeah and this
1:19:10 when this was recited the father of
1:19:12 course they went into frustration
1:19:15 subhanallah and this is the end of the
1:19:17 Surah and you can see
1:19:19 the
1:19:20 intertextuality the beginning and the
1:19:22 end of the Surah you see how it's
1:19:23 related to the previous you see the
1:19:25 rhythm of the Surah you see the power of
1:19:27 the messaging you see the psychological
1:19:30 uncovering that Allah does to the
1:19:32 psyches of these individuals
1:19:34 you see that it plays on all the themes
1:19:36 which are still relevant today
1:19:39 and that when you look at the Quran you
1:19:42 can pick out what you need to pick up
1:19:43 when you're dealing therefore in doubt
1:19:45 context or
1:19:46 uh with disbelievers then you or people
1:19:49 that you want to do dollar to just
1:19:50 remember that there's a psychology in
1:19:52 front of you and you need to understand
1:19:54 that psychology sometimes the person
1:19:56 just doesn't want to convert it Islam
1:19:57 because it's going to be difficult for
1:19:58 them to do that simple as that really
1:20:00 simple they know what it will entail I
1:20:02 have to pray I have to do this I can't
1:20:04 eat this I can't drink that I can't be
1:20:05 with that that for them is enough of a
1:20:07 block and sometimes the sugar hurts is
1:20:09 not actually the block but it's a shower
1:20:11 went and sometimes it can be a
1:20:13 combination of both and sometimes it can
1:20:15 be the Shovelhead and sometimes it just
1:20:17 be a lack of sincerity it can be given
1:20:19 and sometimes it can be arrogance and
1:20:21 sometimes it can be ignorance or a
1:20:23 combination of both which is the worst
1:20:24 of the worst
1:20:26 and so the way Allah addresses the
1:20:29 disbelievers is not in a very robotic
1:20:31 way it's
1:20:33 it's rhythmic it's persuasive it's
1:20:36 argumentative it's criticizing but I'll
1:20:38 say the tone has changed here though in
1:20:40 the previous thought it was scolding
1:20:42 tone
1:20:42 it was very authoritative as you
1:20:44 mentioned in this Surah it's
1:20:49 more persuasive
1:20:52 it is more persuasive and this shows you
1:20:53 subhanallah Allah uses strategically
1:20:56 different types of tone to convince
1:20:58 people it shows you we should do the
1:21:00 same thing however there are certain
1:21:02 things Allah can do obviously that
1:21:04 speaks in a in a in the quranic sense
1:21:07 discourse sense which we can never do
1:21:09 because Allah is speaking as a God we
1:21:11 are speaking as human beings so we have
1:21:12 to remember that that's why we have to
1:21:14 look at the way the prophet sallam did
1:21:15 it and the sahaba did it and the
1:21:17 Companions and these kinds of things
1:21:19 but in terms of and persuasion you can
1:21:22 see the tone keeps shifting and then the
1:21:25 and that is something we need to kind of
1:21:27 uh look at
1:21:29 okay guys that is uh the end of the
1:21:31 Surah inshallah tomorrow we will cover
1:21:34 uh social comma so we've gone through
1:21:36 two swords today and what I want you to
1:21:39 think about is it now or is it
1:21:44 foreign well tomorrow we will think
1:21:46 about yeah well I'll give you a bit of
1:21:48 homework what
1:21:50 lessons can we take in terms of dealing
1:21:53 with people having
1:21:55 from the two surahs that we've covered
1:21:57 number one number two
1:22:00 number two what
1:22:02 points assertions or arguments are made
1:22:06 in these two surahs
1:22:08 about
1:22:10 disbelief and with with specific
1:22:14 reference to a the existence of God
1:22:18 be the worship of God and see
1:22:22 the authority of the prophet
1:22:24 because then we can really feedback
1:22:26 we'll start off with a feedback session
1:22:28 in the beginning inshallah and then we
1:22:30 will go into the next Quran
