according to some commentators the last
verse that was revealed in the Quran or
ayah which is really a sign not a verse
I am inside was the ayah that says to
convene oku
today I have perfected your Deen and
when that I was revealed according to
some it was revealed on the day of
jummah in Mecca on the day of Arafah and
when the prophets of I said I recited
that I will become of them on a web
because he knew that that meant the end
of Revelation
what I'd like to do inshallah I wasn't
planning on doing this but I think the
best things are left one is - inshallah
look at some of the verses the ayahs the
signs that were recited by the body in
surah Rahman because they're they're
extremely important and they're very
pertinent to the time they were living
in that everybody knows that the Quran
is divided into mekin chapters and
Medina or medinan chapters there are 86
Metron chapters and there are 28 coming
being revealed in Medina and we have a
total of approximately 6,000 239
and this chapter comes it was revealed
because the the Quran revealed a chapter
that said actually an ayah that says :
the Rahman and the Machine King the
poverty is the people worshipping idols
didn't know what that meant
what is so they asked my apartment
what's the right man now in Arabic the
the words come out of root words you
have a stem root like Rehema which means
to show mercy and then from that root
are derived words or nouns the Rahman is
what they call a serum of a lava or it
is a verb that is shows some and fatica
nature it's a very strong form of saying
merciful we would say in English very
merciful extremely merciful that is the
way you would say that men men and so
the answer what is arrive man and from
this it was revealed by men in Medina
Allah the merciful and then we're told
who the merciful it this is the first
definition that Allah according to the
Muslims tells us the nature of the
merciful that he animal for an now an
llama in the Arabic language means a few
thing it comes from a root word which is
anima to know and from that we get the
word eylem which is a passive form which
means the world in other words that
which is known and ayalim which is the
active noun which means the knower
because the world is what we as human
beings know so to to move in
- this anima which is a second stem it
then becomes to teach but there's
another meaning of annum which is a sign
a sign we say a high Lama is a sign and
we also say annum is a sign in the road
for instance or Madeline is a road sign
and so the foreign animal Quran can mean
he taught the Quran it can also mean he
made the Quran a sign the Quran is made
a sign it is a sign from Allah the
creator of the heavens and the earth to
human beings of the veracity of this
teaching that this is a true teaching
why how do we know that it's true
because of the nature of the book what I
can answer but most people don't know
yeah Adamo navaja on metal hyah that
dunya Ohama Anna asked Allah to whom
afternoon they know the outward of this
world but as for what is real an era
which is Poppaea it's going on it is not
fannia which is temporal in a state of
annihilation
it is valkia as for what goes on what is
real what is worthwhile they have no
knowledge so outward knowledge which is
really in fact if you look historically
at most civilization you will find that
the the so-called periods where outward
knowledge becomes intensified are
actually periods of decay you can see
this in every single human society on
the earth with the exception of the
Islamic civilization and the Chinese to
an extent if you look at the Greek
period of great intellectual pursuit of
scientific pursuit this is
actually already asked toward the end of
Greek civilization the same can be said
for the Roman and the same now is true
for the European civilization you see
this massive expression of our knowledge
is really a sign that something has gone
wrong which is not to say that Islam
negates our knowledge in fact one of the
fruits of Islam very clearly was outward
nosed and that is why I said that the
exception historically is the Islamic
civilization which had approximately 700
years of scientific pursuit from it's
very inception and then it moved into a
period where the scientific became less
important and you saw an emphasis more
on spiritual pursuits artistic pursuits
and really a redaction or looking again
at what the people who had gone before
them the earlier Muslims what are called
the center what they laid down and so
what the Muslims after about the 9th
10th century begin really to to make
commentary really didn't add a lot of
new information what they did instead is
expounded on the already existing body
of knowledge now in the Muslim world
many Muslims now unfortunately believe
somehow that at the point the Muslims
lost this scientific pursuit this is the
point where they began the civilization
began to decay and before you know it
the Europeans have conquered the Muslim
world and they've gone into a state of
colonialism and the results of what you
see in reality the Muslims were were not
colonized because of any technical
inferiority that was a really distant
untruth historically the British for
instance rule
India was less than 150-thousand at any
given time 150,000 in a country of at
that time 250 million 300 million people
150,000 people are and in many places
really a handful of people so it was
something else it would be akin to when
Cortez arises or Pizarro is even a more
interesting example
Bizzaro arrives use the Spanish
conquistadores
he arrives to the South America the
Incan civilization and a people with 500
men he destroys a nation of over a
million people and that nation was
extremely scientifically advanced in
astronomy mathematics what they've left
behind is it is a good example of them
so this is an illusion really it is an
illusion to believe that technical
superiority is what enables people to
overcome other people it is a historical
fallacy the reality of it is you have
what Manik Vanilli called the deal it is
tomorrow
what this means is that in the same way
that you your immune system becomes weak
and you become susceptible to certain
illnesses that if you were in a healthy
condition you would not be susceptible
to them so his point was the Muslim
world had reached a point where they
were susceptible to the state of
colonialism to subjugation you see the
word in Arabic in the Quran Allah
mentions that the reason one of the
reasons that he has made peoples in a
hierarchy in this world
Asuna vanakkam management area the dunya
we have given different livelihoods to
people in the life of this world
Leah Nevada so Korea that they might
one son from others work in other words
they employ them the word used for
employing them is so Korea which if you
just change it to South Korea and change
a diacritical mark the exact same word
now becomes to mock them to humiliate
them to exploit them by one slight
change in the same way that you have
Lisa is called a messiah the de ja the
Antichrist is called and Antichrist is
really a bad translation for that job
that job literally means and it's used
in Arabic in any Arab knows this it
means imposter it means somebody
pretending to be something he is not if
you say that job to do an error about
somebody he will understand that that
person is an imposter in other words he
is presenting himself as something and
in reality he's something else
so the Messiah who is a visa the Messiah
in the last manifestation of the people
on the earth there is this dead job who
is an impostor Messiah he is called
Messiah that change is literally one dot
on the form of the letter had you put a
dot on it and it goes from being Messiah
to Messiah a monster and so this is the
nature of the world you see that very
slight changes of perception very slight
changes in human nature for Sophia and
Sofia can radically alter the
transaction between human beings when
Allah says animal Quran he is telling us
that he taught the Quran to the human
being through the problem
and then immediately after that to give
us a clear definition about right man he
says horrible in San now Hanukkah is a
beautiful word in Arabic it means to
create out of nothing when we are
talking about Allah if we say cut up a
mob somehow through an arc we say Allah
has created the heavens and the earth
out of nothing if he created them out of
something we would save sawara fashioned
them formed them from an already
existing material when we say hahaha
when we say Allah is a harlot what we
are saying is that Allah subhana WA
Ta'ala has created this out of nothing
not from his own self this is not an
emanation from God
lemmie ended when amulet he did not
produce anything he did not give birth
to anything nothing came out of him
when i'm--you luck and he came out of
nothing he did not come out of anything
Allah always one Allah was and nothing
was with him and he is as he was in his
absolute reality because we are
contingent our existence is based on a
laws existence we are not absolute
reality this is not absolute reality
none of this it's contingent on that
Allah has made it out of nothing and at
the moment that Allah subhana WA Ta'ala
decides he can again return it to
nothing as it was now if you use the
word Holika for a human being it means
to tell a lie or to tell a lie because
we do not create in Allah in al-bayhaqi
the prophets on the line I am said in
Omaha hi-lo kulia sonic was on a TV
allah created every sonic which is a
maker of things that already exists he
makes something out of them he has
created every manufacturer and that
which
manufactures so allah subhanallah donna
in reality has created the airplanes
he's created all of these wonders that
we see through the means of his creation
but he is the creator and he is the sole
creator human beings are not creators
they manufacture out of material that
Allah subhanAllah Donna has facilitated
them to use Allah Subhan Allah - Anna
it's like in Mauritania where I studied
in West Africa they're very simple
people
Bedouin people and yet they have very
sophisticated understanding of things
because of their simplicity they tend to
see things as they are simple people are
not stupid by any means simple people
are often times much more insightful
than clever and complicated people and
we were once talking about airplanes and
this Marie tanyon said to me a little
piece of poetry
he said the airplane is no big deal in
other words it didn't impress him now
this is a man living really in a Iron
Age culture still I mean literally the
only thing that they work with are very
simple tools that they make themselves
they have no sense of factories of
modern civilization at all and he said
in that Watterson philosophy IDT ugd
here of Granada mapa de Caballero hazel
Parra
your tailor will eat a banana surah he
said to me that this automobile
traveling around in the desert
it's Allah that makes that thing go and
this plane that's flying up in the air
it's a love flying it not the Christians
and this is to heat this is the
empowering perspective of Tahiti you see
if you are invited then nothing ever
nothing can diminish your worth before
our last panel time
nothing if you are the simplest man or
woman living the simplest existence
with the simplest of understandings and
yet you are Moorhead you understand the
concept of Tahiti
which is the most empowering concept
ever given to humankind not fire to heal
that this concept alone when it when it
is firmly established in the heart
enables the human being to exist on this
earth with dignity with a dignity that
can never be taken away from him by any
technical means by any punitive measures
none of that can diminish the human
dignity that allah subhanallah Donna has
given then he added one have any atom we
have a noble
the children of adam' by the fact that
we are adenine that we walk on the earth
but by the Moorhead in particular so
Allah says he had a pal in San now the
human being in San is a beautiful word
it comes from a root word which means to
be forgetful nasiha
he forgot when even our best was asked
about it he said mission in San Ophir
Suniya in Santa this is why he forgot
because this is why he is called in Sant
because he is forgetful the human being
by his nature is forgetful written a
system for kuru if you forget remember
this is why the Quran itself is a vicar
it is a reminder of something that we
already know we already know in our
hearts dwelling within our hearts is a
reverberation of a primordial world
which is alleged to be a beacon am I not
your Lord and the answer came back Bella
in affirmation this resonates in the
human heart this is a resonance that the
human being cannot put aside and and the
human being will be in turbulence until
he recognizes the source of this inner
turmoil which is that he has not
consciously regained that remembrance
the method that he took with his creator
in the unseen world when he said sure
that you are my lord the world has never
Muslim as slim to means to give up if
you look in the any dictionary as slim
to means to give up to abandon what you
give up is you give up illusion you give
up all of these false gods you give up
other nuts and you accept that you are
the Abdullah that you are the amateur
law and this is the message of Islam it
is a reminder to humankind
yeah you are not o mankind all humankind
yeah you are not this is a kabob it is a
declaration from the Lord of humankind
to humankind to remember who they are
and whose they are to remember who they
are and who they are to whom we belong
in the land
what you know you later are doing and
this is the message and it does not go
away because the questions do not go
away the Quranic questions do not go
away and they're not simply they are
only articulated in the Quran but they
are questions that are firmly rooted in
the human heart they are firmly rooted
in the human heart relationship is there
doubt in Allah this is a Quranic
question a philosophy is there doubt in
a Las Terrenas where then are you going
this is a photonic question where then
are you going you have to ask yourself
this Allah doesn't say where did you
come from because a lot of people don't
have to ask that question if they don't
want to it's behind them it's the past
but everybody has to
that question where are you go where are
you go these are the Quranic questions
and so Allah tells us that he created
math our lemma one day and now the human
being has been given this unique aspect
this unique element though we can
recognize communication amongst other
life-forms on the planet we can see that
there is communication
I mean you can see communication of you
if you spent any time watching an
anthill you will see extraordinary
communication going on between the ants
birds now we know that they communicate
bees the queen bee does advance and lets
the other bees know which direction to
fly towards the honey and she's never
even seen the place where the honey is
and this is still something they don't
know where she gets this information but
we know because Allah says in the Quran
oh we have revealed to the bee and this
revelation is in the Quranic terms in
Han inspiration that bee is an inspired
creature so the human being has this
unique element which is that we can
articulate and we are aware of our
articulation we're not simply like
creatures that communicate on a gross
level but we communicate on an abstract
level we move to that abstract what this
allows us to do is to understand the
abstract now the greatest abstraction is
an understanding of the concept of this
is the gift that Allah subhana WA Ta
