 فشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا بدا بدا وياله من شراف عظيم الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل واشدوا الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهدي السبيل واشدوا النسيدنا والنبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بيحسانين إلى يوم الدين أما بعد نحن في المساعدة من الملهج الحق رتن باي الشيخ العلمة عبد الرحمن ابن ناصر السعديو ويقول هذا الملهج يقوم with اسم منظومة it's lines of poetry that deal with العقيدة انا الخلاق it deals with كريدو ماتس and also etiquettes and manners in our last lesson we stopped at the twelfth line إن شاء الله تعالى we're going to be إدن الله الكريم carry on from there some هو الحي والقيوم ظل جودي والغينا كل صفات الحمد لله تسندو أحاط بكل الخلق علما وقدرة وبرا وإحسان فإياه نعبدو هو الحي ever living والقيوم sustainer of all إنفنائلي generous free of all needs and all praiseworthy traits are ascribed to him he encompasses all creation by his knowledge and power and kindness and favor and thus he's the only one we worship so the author says هو الحي والقيوم the word الحي it means the one who has complete life الليدي له الحياة الكاملة الله has complete life and what that means is that لم تسبق عدم there was never a time he wasn't alive ولا يلحقها فناء and there is never going to come a time when he's not alive so that's why it's complete also he's living ولا يعطريها نقصن never deficiency does it come to it because the human being he's living even though we didn't have it before of course we're not going to be having it forever but whilst we also have it sometimes deficiency occurs to it الله doesn't have it it's at its complete form so that's what it means الحي the second one is القيوم القيوم means القائم بنفسي the one who stands for his own affairs he doesn't really need anyone to help him المقيم اللي خلقه also he stands for the affairs of his creation so this also entails the word قيوم it entails and it means that الله سبحانه وتعالى he doesn't need anyone and he also has complete ability سبحانه وتعالى and these two names الحي and القيوم they both come in the Quran in many places from the verses that have mentioned these two characteristics is the greatest ayah in the Quran آية الكرسي and these two names is said as ابن القيوم رحمه الله mentions in his كتاب زاد المعاد في هدي خير العباد that these two names all of the names of Allah come back to it these two names الحي and القيوم all the names go back to these two names because Allah's characteristics are of two types صفات which are ذاتية and صفات which are فعالية صفات ذاتية we mention on many different occasions صفات ذاتية are characteristics that are not connected to Allah's will meaning Allah is never detached from these characteristics he's always of these characteristics and that is الحي because every other characteristics that Allah has for example knowledge for example seeing all of those can't happen if Allah is not alive that's why it goes back to that characteristics it goes back to characteristics of الحي and صفات the second type is صفات which are صفات فعالية characteristics that are connected to Allah's will in other words Allah does it when he wishes and he leaves off it when he wishes سبحانه وتعالى and that it goes back to the characteristics القيوم because every characteristic Allah does he's doing it because he has complete what ability and he also is rich from his creation he doesn't need them he's of no need of them سبحانه وتعالى and that's why he says فإن صفة الحياة متضمنة لجميع صفات الكمال مستلزمة لها وصفة القيومية متضمنة لجميع الصفات الأفعال ولهذا كان اسم الله الأعظم الذي إلى دعي به أجاب وإذا سؤال به أعطا هو اسم الحي القيوم وذلك ابن القيم says that it is the two names that if a slave asks Allah and begs Allah on these two characteristics الله will give that slave what he asks for it's what's known as اسم الله العظم اسم الله العظم is what الحي القيوم so if a person uses these two names then and he asks Allah he will get what he asks for then the author said after that ذو الجودي ذو الجودي ذو of course means صاحب the possessor the one who possesses الجود and جود means الإنعام والإكرام والتفضل والإحسان it is the one who bestows generosity he bestows virtue سبحانه وتعالى and Allah as we know he's أجود الأجودين he's the most generous one الأكرم والأكرمين سبحانه وتعالى الله's generosity and his kindness towards his creation is something that the slaves can never be able to put a figure to it that's why Allah says in the Qur'an وإن تعدوا نعمة الله لا تحسوها if you sit down and you try to put a figure to the blessings of Allah upon you you will never be able to it's too much and it's too large in amount in another ayah Allah says that there is no blessing which you have except it's from Allah سبحانه وتعالى so the person has to realize that everything he has is from him سبحانه وتعالى and it's this brothers and sisters that when a person comes to understand this and he comes to realize this he will stop complaining because some of the salaf they would lose loved ones and they would lose somebody in which they admired but guess what they would respond by saying they would say oh Allah you gave it to me in the first place and you took what was yours you gave me you have given me this in the first place and you took what was yours that's how they saw it but what we see it as is this is ours it was ours and it was taken from us this is why we're we're regretting a lot this is why we're complaining and we're wailing وردالك عروة من الزبير عروة من الزبير when he lost his child after he went to Sham and he lost his because cancer happened to him so they amputated his blood and when he finished the prayer they told him that he's son they told him that he lost one of his children what did he say and what did he say to Allah he said to Allah oh Allah you gave me four limbs and you took one oh Allah you gave me four children and you took one from you it came and to you it returned back so that's why الشعار feeling this concept which is that Allah is the one who gave you everything وما بكم من نعمة from Allah that every blessing that you have everything that you have is from Allah SWT and this is the sad thing because a lot of the times when blessing are spoken about a lot of the time people actually assume and they think to themselves it's only worldly related matters and that isn't the case Allah SWT blessings are there are bigger blessings that he has given you and that is Islam that is the greatest blessing a person can be given and that is why Allah refer to it as a blessing اليوم أكملت لكم دينكم وأتممت عليكم نعمتي وراضيت لكم الإسلام دينا اليوم today I have completed your religion for you اليوم أكملت لكم دينكم وأتممت عليكم نعمتي and I have completed my blessings onto you as well وراضيت لكم الإسلام دينا and I have become pleased for Islam to be your religion so what this shows us is that إسلام is what إسلام is a blessing from who from Allah SWT وتعالى and it's from the greatest blessing that we have what we see is that what we see is that أبو طالب who is the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم's uncle who helped the prophet who supported the prophet مع ذلك he didn't have the blessing that Allah has given you look what he said in his lines the poetry he says أن دين محمد خير البرية دينا لو للملامة أو حدارة مسبة لو جدتني بذلك سمح مبينة سمح لأي تهسر he said that I have realised and I have come to the understanding that محمد's religion is the best of all religions and he said if it wasn't for the blame of my tribe and also me having to say something about my forefathers لو جدتني you would have all found me سمح بذلك مبينة I would have taken what محمد has come with and I would have accepted it so you can see the fact that أبو طالب wasn't blessed enough to be given to Islam the same is with who the same applies with نبي الله إبراهيم صفادة وإذ قال إبراهيم لأبيه أزرأ تتخذ أسلاماً آلها إني أراك وقومك في البلال مبين أولاً فر again على وك ماك أم finds you are أنا أبراهيم عليه الصلاة والس Gran 28 وقد اسمح أعط bersar أن يأتي today what what is right from what's wrong and i promise to submit i promise to surrender i promise to take it so ibrahim turns to allah سبحانه وتعالى and he says to allah يا الله يا ربي my lord اينك وعطني you made a promise for me the promise that you made for me was what الله سبحانه وتعالى او الله لا تقزيني يوم يبعطون oh الله don't humiliate me the day of resurrection so everybody asked Allah يا ربي you promise me that you're not going to humiliate me الله فى الله ياربراهيم يا ابراهيم this is a creed this is something Allah has destined that I disbelieve will not enter ثم يذهب إلى تقول غينا. غينا هنا يعني الله تبارك وتعالى انه رائع. غينا يعني انه رائع. لا يحتاج أي شخص. الله لا يحتاج أي شخص. لكنهم يحتاجه. كما الله يقول في القرآن يا أيها الناس انتم الفقراء إلى الله والله هو الغلي يلحميد. هل تبارك وتعالى والله هو الغلي يلحميد. وَلَنْ تَبُلُّوا نَفْعِي فَتَنْ فَعُونِيْ. My slaves, you cannot reach a point where you can harm me by singing and going against my command. And you also can't obey Allah so much that you're benefiting him, that he gets benefits from it. In essence and in truth, the one you're doing a favor for by praying and fasting and going Hajj and following his command. الله تبارك وتعالى. The person you're doing a favor for is yourself. No one else. You're really saving your flesh, your bones from the hellfire. So keep that in mind. Allah does not need you in any way, form or shape. سبحانه وتعالى. Then the author said after that وكل صفات الحمد لله تسندو. وكل صفات every characteristics of praise لله تسندو it is attributed back to him سبحانه وتعالى. The word تسندو means it's attributed to him. It's attributed to him سبحانه وتعالى. Every characteristics that shows praise is brought back to him سبحانه وتعالى. So we say praise is to him سبحانه وتعالى على نعمه ومننه. Praise is to Allah for his blessings and his virtues وفضاله وعطايا. And that which he has given us. فلهو الحمد كله all of praises for him. رب العالمين are the Lord of the universe. Then the author said after that احاط بكل الخلق علما وقدرة. احاط بكل الخلق. The whole of the creation الله تبارك وتعالى is encompassed with knowledge. الله سبحانه وتعالى لا يعزوبه وعنه مثقالا ذرة في السموات ولا في الأرض. A mustard seed of something could not be hidden from him سبحانه وتعالى. Guess what? Allah can see and Allah knows and is aware of دبي من نملة السوداء في صخرة الصماء في ليلة الظالماء The footprints of an ant in a pitch black dark night under a rock. He can see that and he knows it. Nothing is hidden from him سبحانه وتعالى. As we always say يعلم ما كان الله knows what was وما سيكون and that which is going to be وما لم يكن لو كان كيف يكون And he also knows that which hasn't happened. If it was to happen How it would have happened. It hasn't happened. But if it was to happen he knows how it would have happened. As Allah said in the Quran بل بدأ لهما كانوا يغفون من قبل لعادوا ليما نهو عنه وإنهم لكاد يبون الله says the day of judgment it becomes clear to them. Clear to who? It becomes clear to the disbelievers the sins and the crimes that they have come with. Allah then says because they start crying يا ربي or our Lord the disbelievers and the criminals. They say oh Allah take us back to the world and what are you going to do? We're going to become righteous. We're going to follow your command. We're going to do as you tell us. That's what they say right? Then Allah says look وَلَو رُدُوا if they were to be taken back to the universe if they were to be taken back to the world they would have done what? لعادوا ليما نهو عنه They would have gone exactly to that which they were stopped from. They would do exactly where they left off from. صح? Have you guys not seen these criminals there's a YouTube program some youngsters and youths they're taken out of prison they're given a second chance they'll go outside fix yourself up do your thing you see make sure you don't fall and they fall exactly they go to the same crowd they go exactly to where they left off from and then they end up coming to prison again and سبحان الله one of the the police guards in the prison says yeah look at him he won't last outside for 2 weeks 2-3 weeks he won't last and so he ends up coming to her he ends up coming are you with me? Allah knows which of those is going to take a lesson which of those is going to come back which of those وليله المثل العالى are you with me? so Allah's knowledge سبحانه وتعالى is a knowledge that is beyond our comprehension وليالك ألمام ألمام الدهب he said something powerful he said now I think it was sincere that he said شكول إسلام إبن تيمير a hadith in which he does not know is a hadith which is weak the chances of it being a hadith إبن تيمير because he's لا عنه and his knowledge was so vast but then after he said something powerful إلا أن الإحاطة لله except to be able to encompass everything and have knowledge of everything هذا لله he held himself back because there's no one who can really say what I have encompassed something in knowledge Allah says in the Quran اللهم الذي خلق سبع سماوات ومن الأرض مثل هن يتنزل الأمر بين هن لتعلم أن الله على كل شيء أن الله قد أحاط بكل شيء الله is the one who encompassed knowledge in everything سبحانه وتعالى it was everything and our knowledge is very limited very very limited as Allah also said in another ayah سبحانه وتعالى وفوق كل دي علمين عالين everyone who has knowledge the most knowledgeable one is about them they're still they're still more talent they're still more talent then the author said after that وقدرة قدرة نهية means what Allah also encompassed ability that's for him he's able to do everything سبحانه وتعالى أيدان now some atheists and agnostics or whatever the argument always is can God create a rock which he can't lift or can God create another garden صح we as Muslims always need to remember this concept which is Allah's actions but Allah's ability is always is always accompanied Allah's ability is always accompanied with wisdom Allah doesn't just do something because he's able to rather that's a deficiency for other creator are you there are you with me brothers if somebody comes up to you and says to your brother head back to the wall and you know some how you can't head them and you can do something to the wall and you do do it are people going to laugh at you are you there brothers are people going to laugh at you and say look you've just thought of the side of your what the ability are you there you've only looked at what ability that's why Allah's actions are not stripped from wisdom so he does things with wisdom so when they ask you this question are you with me when they ask you this question can God make a rock that he can't lift or can God create another God and et cetera you'll say to them we don't believe Allah's ability is all that he does things with we believe everything he does he does it with what he does it with knowledge and wisdom so what wisdom lies in him having to create a rock which he can't lift you tell me the wisdom and then we'll say then he can or then we'll we'll progress in our discussion does that make sense brothers that's why it is important so Allah says in the same ayah that we read before in Surah 2 الطلاق اللهم الذي خالق سمع سماوات ومن الأرض مثلهم يتنزلوا الأمر بينهم لتعلموا أن الله that Allah is great على كل شيء كدير الله has ability everything is that it وأن الله قد أحط بكل شيء so look at what he's been said here ability has been used and also has been used knowledge so it's those two together it is ability and knowledge he does things with are you there we might do something because we're able to but remember that could be that same thing that we've done could be our destruction because we don't really know the outcome of this action that we're going to do we don't have that knowledge our knowledge is limited are you with me brothers now ابن عبس الله تعالى who brought a very powerful point which is and this is the exact problem that we have with atheists and a lot of people who are a lot of people who are Muslims but they've they've indulged too much into this philosophical arguments and they've also indulged too much into rationality and whatnot forgetting that they should go back to the sources the Kitab and the Sunnah it is that they still haven't understood that their knowledge is limited are you with me that their knowledge is what limited that their brain is limited and what you can see and what it knows just like ابن عبس الله تعالى he said that the eyesight of the person it's limited how far you can see can't really see beyond a limit it just you can't see somebody asked you to tell me somebody who's that tricking him station right now you would say I don't know because your seeing is limited ask the same way when it comes to your your brain are you with me when it comes to the poet said that one day the mind and knowledge they met each other the mind and knowledge came and they met each other they had a conversation the mind said to the knowledge I'm better than you it's through me you recognize الله then the mind the mind said that through me you recognize what Allah is the knowledge when it put his head down he lifted his head up and he said to the knowledge I'm the one who Allah سبحانه وتعالى ascribed to himself you know Allah never calls himself عقل he always calls himself عالم knowledge knowledgeable one when knowledge has said that he realized what when knowledge said that when did he realize that knowledge is more stronger than him and that the truth the matter is knowledge so when did عقل do he he kissed the head of knowledge and they both went together they left the argument aside the point is that it is knowledge brothers not just عقل مجردن it's not عقل مجردن لذلك ابن تيمي when he refuted فخردين الرازي وفخردين الر فخردين الرازي شيخ ولسام تيمي قيدا فخردين الرازي his argument was that when the Quran and logic they both oppose one another after he went through levels the final one is that he said that عقل should be taken عقل should be given president it's because through the عقل you actually knew the Quran you came to it if you strip the عقل then you're standing only with Quran which how do you come to this in the first place are you there so he goes if they contradict or if they oppose one another the عقل should be given president over the عقل the text شيخ ولسام تيمي he refuted him in a very rational manner he said if two people so if a person wanted to go to a doctor or so a person was ill at an eye problem or something and he said to the doctor so he said to the person do you know anyone who's who can kill me from this problem or do you know a specialist in this field so the person says to him yeah I do I know somebody let me take you to him so a person grabs you by the hand he takes you to the doctor now you're in front of the doctor and also in front of you the one who brought you the doctor then tells you okay he scans you looks at your eye sees what the problem is and then he prescribes medication for you the one who brought you says listen don't listen to the doctor listen to me I'm the one who brought you here I'm the one who brought you here listen to me I'll tell you what's right don't listen to the doctor he's wrong would you do that are you with me no you wouldn't you've done your part that's what you knew this guy probably doesn't know the difference between the eye and the nose but you know where the doctor was are you with me brothers so شيخ وليسام تايمي a response like that so the point is brothers Allah's actions are not just ability alone it's based on wisdom Allah does things with wisdom sometimes those are apparent to us and we recognize them when we know them and sometimes we don't know them but because we don't know them it doesn't mean he did it with that with no wisdom are you with me brothers so when you respond to that question make sure that that's the answer that you you respond with وبرن وإحسانا also Allah تعالى he says وبرن وإحسانا الله تعالى وبرن وإحسان means virtual and out of good جنرسة and kindness of him سبحانه وتعالى is the one who is bestowed his blessings and his virtue upon his slaves فإياه نعبود only him we worship Allah has encompassed knowledge of his creation and ability over them and he also سبحانه وتعالى is the one who has virtue and generosity and kindness over his creation because of that فإياه نعبود we worship him alone و لذلك الله says نقران و يعبدون من دون الله ما لا يضرهم ولا يفعهم الله says besides Allah that which can't harm them and that which can't benefit them are you with me? the truth of the matter is that Allah can harm you and he can't benefit you this is the things are you with me? Allah can harm you and he can benefit you how can he harm you by destroying you by withholding the blessings that he gave you if only Allah سبحانه وتعالى سبحانه وتعالى طرف التعاين يحو اللي فيه سيكون أنت really are under his control your whole body the way it functions it's under his control it's going according to how he wants it سبحانه وتعالى the minute Allah تبارك وتعالى he dismisses you الله تبارك وتعالى forsakes you you are truly in a state of destruction you're in a state of what? destruction so because Allah is that because Allah controls our affairs it's because Allah تبارك وتعالى encompasses knowledge of everything because he has ability over everything we want we worship him alone أليس له حق does he not have the right to be worshipped alone then are you with me brothers he does he does deserve سبحانه وتعالى ولي ذلك that's why it doesn't ever make sense for the one who does all of that for you ولي ذلك الله تبارك وتعالى says to the Quraysh in many different places in the Qur'an that you guys are worshipping besides Allah and Allah then gives them a parable example he said what about a عبد مملك a slave which is owned by a master this master who owns this slave this slave doesn't serve his master he serves another master how would you feel would you allow your slave but you wouldn't a wife today would not allow her to share her husband she wouldn't like her husband you see but you would allow شرك إلا الله تبارك وتعالى مع ذلك نفع the benefit that you have from your husband is نفع which is قاصر very short when I say قاصر here I don't mean it's only to him alone but I mean قاصر it's deficient it's not complete the days he makes you happy and the days he makes you upset but you don't want to share him فما بالك بالله even at that moment he's still controlling your affairs سبحانه وتعالى فإياه نعمده he alone we should worship and we should not associate him with partners we should by default humiliate ourselves for him humble ourselves for him show him complete love show us show him what complete love he knows everything about us he knows سبحانه وتعالى he has ability over us ability in what he draws us or to bring us benefit so we should worship him alone that's why the author says إياه نعمده and of course he got it from the ayah which is إياك نعمده وإياك نستعين what does he mean إياك نعمده وإياك نستعين أي نعمدك we worship you Allah ولا نعمد غيرك and we don't worship anybody other than you that's what it means ونستعين بك we seek help from you سبحانه وتعالى and support ولا نستعين بغيرك and we don't seek help from anyone other than you and the reason why الله سبحانه وتعالى he mentions إبادة and إستعانة is because they are the two greatest sins that were that were done the opposite to إبادة is what كبر that's what and the opposite to إستعانة is what the opposite to إستعانة is sorry the opposite to إبادة he says إبر القيم says this is I mean but he means the opposite to إبادة he says is that it is كبر قناة and the opposite to إستعانة is حسد I think حسد which is that which the children of الله إبني آدم إبني آدم which is the first sin that the creation the children of آدم came with something like إبن القيم الله سبحانه وتعالى نعم
