00:00:00.000 I've done the seven-day free trial of the Qur'anly app and it exceeded all my expectations.
00:00:04.460 Brothers and sisters, you can build a habit with the Qur'an by seven-day free trial.
00:00:08.540 Brothers and sisters, no credit card details required at all.
00:00:10.580 And you decide for yourself, is it overrated or is it underrated?
00:00:17.420 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:00:20.780 World War III, is it about to start? We don't know.
00:00:24.260 Now, what we do know and with this video, what I wanted to do is reflect upon what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said in the Qur'an.
00:00:30.200 To the angels. Because the angels questioned Allah. They asked a question.
00:00:34.740 Angels, by their nature, they do as they are told.
00:00:38.120 But some of us think that they can't really, you know, ask a question.
00:00:41.300 In this very ayah, in Surah Baqarah, verse 30, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is asked a question.
00:00:45.260 And he says,
00:00:46.820 Remember, talking to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
00:00:50.800 When your Lord said to the angels, I am going to place a successive human authority on earth. 0.96
00:00:56.140 They asked Allah, will you place in it someone who will spread corruption there?
00:00:59.420 And shed blood while we glorify your praise and proclaim your holiness?
00:01:03.740 Allah responded, I know what you don't know.
00:01:08.360 He taught Adam the names of all things.
00:01:10.600 Then he presented them to the angels and said,
00:01:14.020 Tell me the names of these if what you say is true.
00:01:17.480 They replied, glory be to you.
00:01:19.340 We have no knowledge except what you have taught us.
00:01:21.500 You are truly all knowing or wise.
00:01:23.100 So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala here is teaching the angels a lesson. 0.77
00:01:26.520 Now how does this tie in with the whole war that's happening between Russia and Ukraine?
00:01:32.100 Now the thing is here, brothers and sisters,
00:01:34.020 that the angels talked about human beings and how we are by nature.
00:01:39.700 Because the khalifa that he was going to place on earth, 1.00
00:01:42.040 which this word is known for somebody who's going to carry out justice,
00:01:45.240 and you know, speak out against oppression.
00:01:46.640 So they knew what kind of creatures were going to be.
00:01:51.640 And they asked Allah a question.
00:01:53.120 Now what do we learn from this?
00:01:54.080 Very important, very small, this little subtle,
00:01:57.600 is the following.
00:01:58.560 That they said to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
00:02:00.340 We proclaim your purity.
00:02:02.540 We worship you.
00:02:03.580 We don't disobey you.
00:02:05.460 Logically, why would you want to make a creation
00:02:08.100 who's going to cause bloodshed on earth?
00:02:10.420 Now this is very important because it ties beautifully to the issue of
00:02:13.040 Satan, Shaitan, Iblis, and Adam a.s. 0.86
00:02:15.680 Because Iblis refused to bow down. 1.00
00:02:17.300 Why?
00:02:17.760 Because he logically said that I am better than him.
00:02:22.060 Now they're both, if you think about it,
00:02:23.680 using some part of their rationale to be like,
00:02:26.760 okay, this does not make sense.
00:02:28.220 However, if you look at Iblis, 0.96
00:02:29.240 Iblis fell into disbelief because he actually questioned Allah 0.95
00:02:31.720 and blamed Allah for his disbelief and his transgression.
00:02:35.960 The angels are doing the same thing.
00:02:37.160 Well, Allah responds with something which should make us all remember something.
00:02:41.180 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is saying that he is aware that that will happen.
00:02:45.160 Of course, he knows more than the angels that's going to happen.
00:02:47.920 But I know something you don't.
00:02:50.940 Now if you guys would maybe resonate with this,
00:02:55.020 a lot of times when wars happen,
00:02:56.420 a lot of people ask these questions.
00:02:57.440 Atheists, people don't believe in God.
00:02:58.940 If God exists, why does the bloodshed?
00:03:01.240 Why does this happen?
00:03:02.640 Etc.
00:03:03.360 It's a common question.
00:03:04.200 It ties beautifully to this ayah.
00:03:05.460 But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is saying,
00:03:07.480 I know what you don't know.
00:03:08.880 So there might be some things to us,
00:03:10.380 to our rationale, to our logic.
00:03:12.000 We're like, that doesn't make sense.
00:03:13.400 Why would God do that?
00:03:14.780 We have two options.
00:03:16.460 To rebel or to submit.
00:03:18.860 This is what makes us different from following Iblis 1.00
00:03:23.420 or being those who are obedient like Adam a.s.
00:03:26.300 There are things that's going to happen
00:03:28.320 that doesn't make sense to us.
00:03:29.800 There's going to be bloodshed on earth,
00:03:31.760 like the angels said.
00:03:33.240 But you need to put your trust in the naql, 1.00
00:03:37.660 which is text, the divine text,
00:03:39.000 what Allah ordered, etc.
00:03:40.380 Rather than the aql.
00:03:41.940 This doesn't mean we don't use the aql.
00:03:43.100 The point I'm trying to make here is this.
00:03:45.000 We do not override our logic
00:03:47.280 over what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has prescribed.
00:03:50.040 His naql.
00:03:50.960 This is very important.
00:03:52.360 Very, very fundamental.
00:03:53.440 Whenever you're faced with anything, calamity,
00:03:55.720 things don't make sense, etc.
00:03:57.280 Just know and put your trust in Allah
00:03:59.160 because it's a matter of tawakul.
00:04:00.580 Yeah?
00:04:00.980 And shaitan didn't have that tawakul.
00:04:02.320 That's why he fell into disbelief.
00:04:03.860 And this can lead you to disbelief.
00:04:05.420 So know that the angels and Allah knew
00:04:07.980 warfare is going to happen.
00:04:09.620 Bloodshed is going to happen.
00:04:10.900 But you can choose to be among those
00:04:13.300 who are obedient and trust Allah
00:04:14.540 or be among those who are disobedient like Iblis 1.00
00:04:17.280 and not trust Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
00:04:19.260 This is the only thing that I wanted to share with you guys
00:04:21.200 in this time of climate.
00:04:22.620 And you can use this any way you like.
00:04:24.980 Take the naql over the aql.
00:04:27.480 The text over what your brain
00:04:30.260 or your rationale tells you.
00:04:31.700 Because there are things that Allah knows
00:04:33.120 that we don't know.
00:04:34.080 He's the most wise, the all-knowing.
00:04:36.500 That's all I wanted to share with you guys today,
00:04:37.960 brothers and sisters, inshaAllah.
00:04:38.940 Until next time.
00:04:39.720 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.
00:04:42.100 Please share this with your friends and family, inshaAllah,
00:04:43.800 so they benefit too.
00:04:44.500 We're not here.
00:04:45.360 We're going to share this with you guys today.
