00:00Therefore, knowing God Almighty is obligatory for every responsible person before anything else.
00:05before everything else
00:06Because you are required in all of this law
00:11This refers to Islamic law with its rituals, transactions, and ethics.
00:16And its doctrines, firstly, are the basis of this entire Sharia, which is required of you.
00:23To worship God
00:25To take God Almighty as your God
00:29And worship none but Him
00:30How can you worship God if you do not know Him?
00:34So, the first duty ever
00:37It is knowing God
00:39But how can this knowledge of God be?
00:44Does it mean you'll recognize him after you see him?
00:47Do you know him after you sit with him?
00:49After that means his conversation
00:52This is all impossible; it cannot be.
00:54But what is meant is knowing God Almighty
00:58Knowing him by knowing his qualities
01:02The intention is not to know him personally, to sit with him, to mingle with him, to converse with him, and to listen to him.
01:11That is not the point; only God knows God.
01:14This level, this status, no one can reach it.
01:19But the intention is to know God through His attributes and His effects in the universe.
01:29The evidence for Him, the Most High
01:33This is the first duty
01:36Launch
01:38Everyone who is legally obligated must know what is required of them by God.
01:45That is, knowing God Almighty regarding the attributes that are due to Him.
01:51And what is impossible in relation to Him in terms of attributes
01:53And what attributes are permissible in his case
01:55The second one, which is at the end of the house, is obligatory.
01:58The obligation here is a rational obligation.
02:01illegitimate
02:03The first is legally obligatory
02:06The second is mental
02:08We have already discussed that rational obligation
02:13It is that the mind cannot conceive of the non-existence of something.
02:18This is the meaning of rational obligation.
02:23The three categories of rational judgment
02:26It is an obligation, and its absence is inconceivable.
02:29And it is impossible, which is something whose existence is inconceivable.
02:32It is permissible or possible, and that which is conceivable.
02:36And likewise, its absence is conceivable
02:40When we say
02:41God Almighty must possess such and such and such attributes
02:45The obligation here is a rational obligation.
02:47rational necessity
02:49But when we say
02:51The one who is obligated to know God Almighty must know Him.
02:53And knowing his attributes
02:55This is a religious obligation
02:57Everyone who is legally obligated to do something is obligated.
03:00He needs to know
03:03If knowledge is the first religious obligation
03:05Meaning there is no obligation before it
03:08First duties
03:11Knowing God Almighty
03:12But how is this knowledge acquired?
03:15Knowing him through his attributes
