00:02:02let me begin
00:02:02have fun with me 89 and when there comes to them a book from Allah confirming what what is with
00:02:13them
00:02:13although from of old they had prayed for victory against those without faith when there comes to
00:02:23them that which they should have recognized recognized they refuse to believe in it but the curse of Allah
00:02:30is on those without faith 90 miserable is the price for which they have sold their souls in that they
00:02:39deny
00:02:39the revelation which Allah has sent down in insolent envy that Allah of his grace should send it to any
00:02:52of his
00:02:52his servants he pleases thus have they drawn on themselves wrath upon wrath and humiliating is the just just
00:03:04just cement like just just cement of those who reject faith 91 I hope I'm very audible uh if I'm
00:03:15not audible
00:03:16please forgive me yeah if I'm not audible forgive me I'm just learning to work on progress learning to
00:03:25work uh learning to work learning to learning from the job yeah anyway uh 901 when it is said to
00:03:35them
00:03:36believe in what Allah and therefore the Jews who pretended to be so superior to the people without faith
00:03:43the Gentiles should have been the first to recognize the new truth or the truth renewed which it was
00:03:53Muhammad's mission Muhammad's mission to to bring because it was so familiar oh i need to be i need to
00:04:03be
00:04:05comfortable comfortable comfortable comfortable then i read oh god don't don't do that don't do that the lighting
00:04:15i'm telling my lighting don't do that of being disorganized i was where
00:04:24which it was Muhammad's mission to bring because it was so familiar in form and language to what they had
00:04:31already received but they had more arrogance than faith it is this want of faith that brings on the curse
00:04:41that
00:04:42to say deprives us if we adopt such an attitude of the blessings of Allah again the lesson applies to
00:04:52uh to
00:04:54a much wider circle than the Jews we all uh we we are all apt in our perversiveness to reject
00:05:06an appeal from our brother even
00:05:10more similarly than one from an outsider if we have a glimmer a glimmering
00:05:18of the truth of the truth we are apt to make ourselves in power in pervious
00:05:29impervious to father truth and thus lose the benefit of Allah's grace 95 racial arrogance made the Jews of us
00:05:38to the reception of truth when it came through a servant of Allah not of their own race again the
00:05:46lesson is
00:05:46wider is that a vast a vastness unknown unknown in our own times and among other races yet how can
00:05:58a race or a people set bounds to Allah's choice Allah is the creator and cherisher of all races and
00:06:07all worlds
00:06:08the world's hearts hath sent down they say we believe in what was sent down to us yet they reject
00:06:16all besides even if
00:06:18it even if it be truth confirming what is with them say why then have ye slain the prophets of
00:06:27Allah in times
00:06:29gone by if ye did indeed believe 92 there came to you Moses with clear signs yet yea worship the
00:06:38call
00:06:38even after that and ye did behave wrongfully 93 and remember we took your covenant and we raised
00:06:47above you the mounts nigh saying hold firmly to what we have given you and here keen like here
00:06:57keen like the word here and ken here keen to the law they said we hear and we disobey
00:07:05and their hearts 96 even the race argument is often if a film say and hollow pretext did not the
00:07:17jews
00:07:17reject prophets of their own race who told them unpleasant truths and do not other nations do
00:07:25likewise the real trouble is selfishness selfishness narrow narrowness i mean dislike of anything
00:07:35which runs counter to habits customs or inclinations 97 cf the introductory words of i2 the introductory
00:07:47words of ii 63 which are the same as the introductory words here but the argument is developed in a
00:07:55different direction in the two places in ii 63 after they are reminded of the solemn psalm of the
00:08:04psalm covenant under the towering height of mount sni they are told how they broke the covenant in
00:08:12after ages here after they are reminded of the same psalm covenant they are told that even then they
00:08:20they never meant to observe ii like that's true like ii i mean to it their thought is expressed in
00:08:29biting words of sarcasm sarcasm they said in words all that the lord ha all that all that all that
00:08:40the lord
00:08:41has spoken we will do but they said in their hearts we shall disobey 98 what they what what they
00:08:51should have said was we hear and we obey this is the attitude of the true men of faith ii
00:08:59285
00:09:0199 after the commandments and the law had been given at mount sni and the people had solemnly given their
00:09:09covenant moses went up to mount to the mount and in his absence the people made the golden cuff
00:09:18the word the word oshirubu oshirubu oshirubu which occurs in the verse seems suggest as denoted tabi tabi
00:09:30qatada qatada is reported to have said that their hearts were saturated with the love for the
00:09:39calf c-i-b-n kaffal commentary on the verse ii 99 ii 93
00:09:49we were filled with the love of the calf because of their faith faithlessness say vile indeed ah
00:09:59the reading is not it's not it's not easy but you have to do it love to do the hard
00:10:07things
00:10:09because of their faithlessness say vile indeed are the behests of your faith if ye have any faith 94 say
00:10:20if the last home with allah be for you specially and not for anyone else then seek ye for death
00:10:29if ye are sincere
00:10:31and the five but they but they shall never seek for death on account of the sins which their hands
00:10:38have
00:10:38sent on before them and allah is well acquainted with the wrongdoers 96 though wilt indeed find them of
00:10:51all people most greedy of life even more than the idol idol idolaters like idolaters
00:11:02each one of them wishes he could be given a life of a thousand years but the grant of such
00:11:10life will not
00:11:12save him from you justice justice just just just cement for allah sees well all that they do 100
00:11:25am i on yeah i'm on i have mosquitoes here so they are biting me i have a net on
00:11:37my bed yeah
00:11:38a sleeping net the sleeping net is on my bed but where i'm reading from there's no anything so i
00:11:46need to
00:11:47buy that repellent that mosquito repellent but my man is short so allah allah
00:11:53almighty i'm praying for a real source of income bro allah be my bro i'm praying for a real source
00:11:59of
00:11:59income to buy mosquito repellent because mosquitoes are not my friends the the blood sucking mosquitoes
00:12:09they are not my friends 100 the phrase what their hearts have sent on them have sent on before them
00:12:20frequently occurs in the quran here and in many places it refers to sins in such passages
00:12:28of xxxvii 40 or xxxvii 14 it is implied that both good and bad deeds go before us to the
00:12:40judgment seat of
00:12:41allah before we do ourselves in ii 110 it is the good that goes before us our deeds are person
00:12:52person personified
00:12:54like personified that's i love that word they are witnesses for for or against us and they always go
00:13:06before us their good or bad influence begins to operate before we even know it this is more general
00:13:13than the new testament idea in the first episode of saint paul to timothy v 24 some men's sins are
00:13:24open
00:13:25beforehand going before to judgment and some men they follow after section to a love
00:13:3219 97 say whoever is an enemy to gabriel for he brings down the revelation to thy heart
00:13:43by allah's will a confirmation of what went before and guidance and blood tidings for those who believe
00:13:5119 8 whoever is an enemy to allah and his angels and prophets to gabriel and michael
00:13:59law law law law is an enemy to those who reject faith 199 we have sent down to thee manifest
00:14:06signs
00:14:07ayat and none reject them but those who are perverse 100 is it not the case that every time they
00:14:16make a
00:14:16covenant some party among them throw it aside nigh like nigh n-a-y look at my eyes
00:14:27a prophet most of them are faithless 110 and when there came to them a messenger from allah confirming
00:14:36what was with them a party of the people of the book 110 a party of the jews in the
00:14:43time of muhammad
00:14:44ridiculed the muslim belief that gabriel brought down revelations to muhammad al mustafa michael was called in
00:14:53their books the great prince abana mosquitos which standeth for the children of thy people daniel xii
00:15:04mosquitos are not doing me well one the vision of gabriel inspired fear daniel v iii 1617 but the
00:15:15pretense that michael was their friend and gabriel their enemy was merely a manifestation of their
00:15:23unbelief in angels prophets and allah himself and such unbelief could not win the love of allah in any
00:15:31case it was this this this this ingenious like d-i-s-i-n-g-e-n-u-o-u
00:15:44-s this ingenious to say that
00:15:47they believed in one angel and not in another muhammad is muhammad is inspiration was through visions of
00:15:55gabriel muhammad had been helped to the highest spiritual light and the message which he delivered
00:16:02and his spotless integrity was exemplary life where manifest signs which everyone could understand
00:16:11except those who were obstinate and perverse besides the verses of the quran were in themselves
00:16:19reasonable and clear threw away the book of allah behind their backs as if it had as if it had
00:16:30been
00:16:30something they did not know 102 therefore they followed what the satan's recited over solomon's
00:16:39kingdom solomon did not disbelieve but satan's disbelieved teaching men magic and such things
00:16:48as came down at babylon to the angels harut and marut hey are you hearing people you hear the word
00:16:59of
00:17:00allah i'm also learning i learn you learn by teaching yeah you learn the best way to learn something is
00:17:07you
00:17:07teach it somebody else and we having internet so i'm not teaching it only one person i'm teaching it to

00:17:48everywhere i can i'll do that by the grace of allah most merciful most gracious one of the two i
00:17:57think
00:17:57that by the book of allah here here is meant not the crohan but the book which the people of
00:18:04the book
00:18:05had been given these the previous revelations the argument is that muhammad's message was similar
00:18:11to revelations which they had which they had which they had already received and if they had looked
00:18:19into their own books honestly and sincerely they would have found proofs in them to show that the new
00:18:26message was true and from allah but they ignored their own books or twisted or distorted them according to
00:18:33their own fancies they ignored their own fancies oh god fancies
00:18:42worse they followed something which was actually false and miss miss t mischief t mischievous like m i
00:18:54s c h i e v o u s mischievous and inspired by the evil one such was the belief
00:19:02in magic and
00:19:03sorcery these are described in the next verse in terms referring to the beliefs and practices of the
00:19:12people of the book 103 this is a continuation of the argument in ii 101 the people of the book
00:19:21instead of
00:19:22sticking to the plain books of revelations and seeking to do the will of allah ran after all sorts of
00:19:30occult knowledge of occult knowledge most of which was false and evil many wonderful tales of occult
00:19:37power attributed the power of solomon solo solomon to magic but solomon dealt in no arts of evil it was
00:19:45the
00:19:45powers of evil that pretended to force the laws of nature and the will of allah such a pretense is
00:19:52plainly

00:21:31harut and marut lived in babylon a very ancient seat of science especially the science of astronomy astronomy
00:21:38The period may be supposed to be anywhere about the time when the ancient Eastern monarchies were strong and enlightened,
00:21:47probably even earlier as Marutu or Madruk was a defied hero, upwards worshipped as a god of magic in Babylon.
00:21:58Being good men, Harut and Marut, of course, dubbed like D-A-B-B-L-E-D, D-A-B
00:22:09-B-L-E-D, dubbed in nothing evil, and their hands were certainly clean or frowned.
00:22:16But knowledge and the arts, if learned by evil men, can be applied to evil users, the evil ones, besides
00:22:24their fraud-lit magic, also learnt a little of this true science and applied it to evil users.
00:22:35Harut and Marut did not withhold knowledge, yet never taught anyone without plainly warning them of the trial and temptation
00:22:47of knowledge in the hands of evil men.
00:22:49Being men of insight, they also saw the blapshemi that might rise to the lips of the evil ones, puffed
00:22:59up with science, and warned them against it.
00:23:02Knowledge is indeed a trial, like a trial, like? Knowledge is indeed a trial or temptation. If we are warned,
00:23:12we know it's dangerous.
00:23:14If Allah has endowed us with free will, we must be free to choose between the benefit and the danger.
00:23:21Among the Jewish traditions in the Midrash Jewish tafsras was the story of two angels who asked Allah's permission to
00:23:34come down to earth, but scumbled.
00:23:43S-U-double, S-U-double, S-U-double, S-U-double-C-U-M-B-E-D.
00:23:50S-U-double, oh my God.
00:23:54But now people will laugh at me, will be like this guy.
00:24:01But people are there to talk.
00:24:03you cannot you cannot stop people from talking succumbed to temptation and were hung up by their
00:24:11feet at babylon for punishment such stories about sinning angels who were cast down to punishment
00:24:18were believed in in by the early christians also see the second epistle of peter i i for
00:24:27under epistle of jude verse 6 but neither of these taught anyone such things without saying
00:24:36we are only for trial so do not blapse hemi they learned from them the means to sow
00:24:44discord between man and wife but they could not thus harm anyone they i think i need to read this
00:24:53they learned from them the means to sow sow the means to sow discord between man and wife but
00:25:05they could not thus harm anyone except by allah's permission and they learned what harmed them not
00:25:13what profited them and they knew that the buyers of magic would have no share in the happiness of the
00:25:21hereafter and vile was the price for which they did sell their souls if they but knew 103
00:25:32how many minutes are we in can you believe we are already 30 minutes 25 minutes anyway
00:25:42uh 103 if they had kept their faith and guarded themselves from evil far better had been the
00:25:49reward from allah if they but knew 105 whether evil ones learned from harut and marut see last not
00:25:59they turned to evil when mixed with fraud and deception it appeared as charms and spells and love
00:26:06portions they did nothing but cast discord between the sexes but of course their power was limited to the
00:26:13to the extent to which allah to which allah permitted the evil to work for his grace protected all who
00:26:22sought his guidance and repented and returned to him but apart from the harm that these false pretenders
00:26:30might do to others the chief harm which they did was to their own souls they sold themselves into slavery
00:26:38to
00:26:39the evil as is shown in the allah allah allah glory of go go go see go this faust like
00:26:53fau of a name
00:26:54mosquitoes are so many here mosquitoes are biting my feet yeah i hope they don't bring me any malaria i'm

00:27:21i don't want so the mosquitoes please please act up how they call it style up mosquitoes style up
00:27:30uh-huh the allegory dealt with the individual soul here the tragedy is shown to occur not only to
00:27:38individuals but to whole groups of people for example the people of the book indeed the story might be
00:27:45extended indefinitely indefinitely indefinitely section 13 104 oh yay of faith say no to the prophet
00:27:57right now right now but say and zoo and zuna and here care and he akin to him to those
00:28:06without faith
00:28:07is a graveyard spanish punishment another five it is never the wish of those without faith among the
00:28:14people of the book nor of the poly policy policy policy policy policy should come down to you from your
00:28:26lord
00:28:27but allah will choose for his special mercy whom he will for allah is lord of grace abounding
00:28:35like abounding yeah 106 none of our revelations do we abrogate or cause to be forgotten but we substitute
00:28:45something better or similar or similar or similar knowest though not that allah has power over all things
00:28:53hear these people of the world knowest though not that allah has like h-a-t-h has power over
00:29:05all things 106
00:29:07the word is disapproved is reina which which as used by the muslims meant please look at look at us
00:29:18attend to us but if it was ridiculed by enemies by a little twist suggests something ah good to suggest
00:29:30to suggest to suggest to suggest some insulting meaning so an ambiguous word
00:29:39you zuna you zoo you zuna
00:29:44where the same meaning is suggested the general lesson is that we must guard ourselves against the
00:29:50cynical trick of using words which sound complementary to the ear but have a hidden
00:29:56verb like b b b a r b bab in them not only must we be plain and honest in
00:30:05our words we must
00:30:06respectfully hear keen like here and ken here ken to the words of a teacher whom we have addressed
00:30:15thoughtless people use very vain words or put foolish questions and straight away turn their minds to
00:30:22something else 107 the word which i have translated by the word revelations is ayat c n 15 it is
00:30:32not
00:30:32only used for verses of the quran but in a general sense for allah's revelations as in ii 39 and
00:30:40for
00:30:41other signs of allah in history or nature or miracles as in ii 61 it has even been used for
00:30:48human signs and
00:30:50tokens of wonder as for example monuments or landmarks built by the ancient people of ad xxxvi 128 what is
00:31:01the meaning of he what is the meaning here if we take it in a general sense it means that
00:31:08allah's message
00:31:09from age from age to age age to age is is always
00:31:15107 knowest though not that to allah belongeth the dom oh god this english of knowest
00:31:26uh 107 uh 107 knowest though though not that to allah belongeth the domin the dominion the dominion
00:31:40the dominion of the heavens under us and besides him yea have neither patron nor helper 108 would you
00:31:49question your question your messenger as moses was questioned of old but whoever changes from faith to
00:31:57unbelief has has has stayed without doubt from the even way 109 quite a number of people of the book
00:32:09wish they could turn you people back to infidelity after ye have believed from selfish envy after the
00:32:19truth after the truth has become it was remember where i was saying it was the same but that is
00:32:30but but that oh god
00:32:32the same but that its form may differ according to the needs and exigencies of the time that form was
00:32:46different as given to moses and then to jesus and then to muhammad jesus jesus
00:32:57muhammad moses and there comes me
00:33:04and there comes me here
00:33:11some commentators apply it also to the ayat of the crohan there is nothing derogatory in this if we
00:33:20believe if we believe in progressive revelation i i in ii 7 we are told distinctly about the
00:33:31about the crohan that some of its verses are clear and of established meaning and others are not entirely
00:33:38clear and it's and it is mess
00:33:43t verse to treat the verses that are not entirely clear and to follow them literally on the other hand
00:33:50it is absurd to treat such a verse as ii 115 as if it were abrogated by ii 104 about
00:34:00the quibla the qibla quibla there may be express abrogation or there may be
00:34:11causing or permitting to forget how many good and wise institutions gradually become obsolete by a flux
00:34:20of time then there is the then there is the gradual process of this use of forgetting in evolution this
00:34:30does not mean that eternal principles change it's only a sign of allah's infinite power that his creation should take
00:34:38so many forms and shapes not only in the material world but in the world of man's thought and expression
00:34:45108
00:34:468 mothers was constantly harassed with foolish
00:34:51impet impet impet impet net impertinent and this in gen in gen was this in gen was questions by his
00:35:02own
00:35:02people we must not follow that bad example questions should be asked only for real instruction 109
00:35:10even way the arabic word sour signifies smoothness as opposed to roughness symmetry as opposed to what to to want
00:35:23of playing equality or proportion as opposed to want of design
00:35:32rectitude rectitude rectitude as opposed to crookedness
00:35:38a mean a mean as opposed to extremes and fitness for the object held in view as opposed to faultiness
00:35:52in the one of the other um
00:35:53them i love it manifest unto them but forgive
00:36:00manifest manifest manifest unto them but forgive
00:36:05and overlook till allah brings out his command for allah has power

00:38:11unless he be a jew or a christian those are their vine desires say produce your proof if ye are
00:38:22truthful
00:38:41one hundred two hundred one hundred one hundred one hundred twelve nay whoever submits his whole self to allah
00:38:48one hundred ten three words are used in the crohan with a meaning akin to forgive but each with a
00:38:57different shade of meaning alpha here translated forgive no no no i read it wrongly bro it is afa
00:39:05a-f-a afa here translated to forgive means to forget to obliterate from one's mind
00:39:15safaha here translated overlook means to turn away from to ignore to treat a matter as if it did not
00:39:24affect one gaffara which does not occur in this verse means to cover up something as allah does to
00:39:32our sins with his grace this word is practically particularly appropriate in allah's attribute to
00:39:40gaffa gaffa gaffa gaffa gaffa the one who forgives again and again 100 100 111 11 the word
00:39:51um like a m r um is comprehensive and includes one an order or command as in x
00:40:01x x x x x cvi 12 or to a purpose design will as in x vii 8203 affairs working
00:40:16doing carrying out or
00:40:18execution of a design as in i x x x i x 5 in many cases some of these meanings
00:40:27run together one hundred
00:40:2912th note how this phrase seemingly repeatedly from ii 106 and occurring in many other places
00:40:36has an appropriate signification in each place in ii 106 we were told about progressive revelation
00:40:46how the same thing may take different form forms and seeming human of a family a family contribute to
00:40:55the fulfillment of the fulfillment of allah's design for allah's power is unlimited here we are told to
00:41:01be patient and forgiving against envy and injustice injustice injustice injustice oh god injustice
00:41:12these two may be fulfilling allah's purpose for his power is infinite
00:41:20113 13 f c f i i i 95 100 114 the word translate itself is what you are like
00:41:31w a j h a compressive arabic word
00:41:36what's the time
00:41:40we are 41 minutes oh 41 minutes one hour minus 41 minutes how many how many minutes are we left
00:41:47with
00:41:48i think those are like 19 19 19 minutes right okay and is a doer of good he will get
00:41:58his reward with the
00:41:59with his lord on such shall be no fear nor shall they grieve section 14 113 the jews say christians
00:42:10have not to stand upon and the christians say the jews have not to stand upon yet they profess to
00:42:18study
00:42:18the same book like unto their word is what those who say who know not but allah will judge between
00:42:27them
00:42:27in their quarrel on the day of judgment 114 and who is more unjust than he who forbids
00:42:35that in places for the worship of allah his name should be 115 this phrase comes in aptly in its
00:42:45own context
00:42:46many times in this surah it occurs in i i 38 62 112 262 274 and 277 116 it is
00:42:59a sure sign of arrogance
00:43:01i don't know this is a sure sign of ignorance and prejudice when you study the same book as another
00:43:07or a similar one and yet are absolutely intolerant of the meaning which the other draws from it
00:43:16you should know better but you speak you speak like the are the ignorant in this case the primary
00:43:24reference in the word ignorant may be the pangan arabs
00:43:30117 they were actually they there were actually pangans in makar who tried to shut out the muslim
00:43:39arabs from the kabah the universal place of arab worship the park the paga the pang the pagans
00:43:47like pagans themselves called it the house of allah with what face could they exclude the muslims who
00:43:55wanted to worship the true allah instead of worshiping idols if these pagans had succeeded they would only
00:44:03have caused the violent divisions among the arabs and destroyed the sun the sunk the sanctity
00:44:13sun sanctity and the very existence of kabah hey the kab like i'm seeing kab
00:44:24this verse was taken in general sense establishes the principle of freedom of worship in a public mosque
00:44:30or place dedicated to worship allah this is recognized in muslim law celebrated whose zeal is in fact to
00:44:41reign them it was not fitting that such should themselves enter them except in fear for them
00:44:49there is nothing but disgrace in this world and in the world to come an exceeding torment 115 to allah
00:44:58belong the east to allah belong the east and the west with a with a with a with a with
00:45:08a so ever
00:45:09with a so ever yetan that is allah's face face face for allah is all-embracing all-knowing 116
00:45:21they say allah has begotten a son glory glory be to him nay to him belongs all that is in
00:45:31the heavens
00:45:31and on earth everything renders worship to him i also render worship to allah allah allah 117
00:45:43the originator of the heavens and the earth when he decrease a matter he says he says to it be
00:45:54and it is
00:45:55how many minutes am i i should not exceed one hour because it's very hard it's very hard to post

00:48:18to
00:48:18i i i wanted to love above 119 it is a a derogation a derogation from the from the glory
00:48:31of allah
00:48:31in fact it is blasphemy to say that allah begets sons like a man or an animal the christian doctrine
00:48:41is here in fact the christian doctrine is here in fact like e-m-p-h-a-t-i-c
00:48:56-a-double-l-y
00:48:58emphatically repudiated repudiated if words have any meaning it would mean an attribution to allah
00:49:11of immaterial nature and of the of the lower animal functions of sex one of the ten one of the
00:49:21twenty the previous verse told us that everything in heaven and everything uh everything in heaven and
00:49:28earth celebrates the glory of allah least anyone should think that the heavens and the earth were
00:49:36they themselves pre prime primeval like like primeval primeval and eternal we are now told that they
00:49:46themselves are creatures of allah's will and design c f vi 102 where the word badda like badda b a
00:49:59double b a
00:50:01d d a a is used as here for the creation of the heavens and the earth and
00:50:18is used for the creation of all things
00:50:21but da goes back to the very primal beginning
00:50:28as far as we can conceive it
00:50:31the materialists may say that primval matter was eternal
00:50:37other things doesn't say the forms and the shapes as we see them now
00:50:43we are called into being at some time or other and will perish
00:50:47when they perish they dissolve into primval primval matter again
00:50:54which stands as the base of all existence
00:50:57we go further back we say that if we post post postulate such primval matter
00:51:04it owes its origin
00:51:08118
00:51:09so those without knowledge
00:51:10why speaketh not Allah unto us
00:51:14or why cometh not unto us a sign
00:51:18so say the people before them
00:51:20words of similar import
00:51:21their hearts are
00:51:23alike
00:51:24we have indeed made clear
00:51:26the signs unto any people
00:51:29who had family
00:51:31to faith
00:51:33in their hearts
00:51:34119
00:51:35verily we have sent thee
00:51:37in truth
00:51:38as a bearer
00:51:40of glad
00:51:40teedings
00:51:41and a
00:51:42a warner
00:51:44but of thee
00:51:45no question
00:51:46shall be asked
00:51:47of the companions
00:51:48of the blazing fire
00:51:53120
00:51:54never will the jews or the christians be satisfied with thee unless thou follow their form of religion
00:52:03say
00:52:04itself to Allah
00:52:05if this is considered
00:52:08we proceed to argue that the process of creation is not then completed
00:52:13all things in the heavens and under earth are created by the gradual processes
00:52:18in things
00:52:19which
00:52:21include
00:52:22abstract
00:52:23as well as
00:52:24material things
00:52:25we see that abstract
00:52:26abstract
00:52:27things
00:52:28and ideas
00:52:29actually
00:52:30growing before us
00:52:32but
00:52:33that also is Allah's creation
00:52:35to which we can apply the word
00:52:37kal
00:52:40kalaka
00:52:41kalakwa
00:52:43k-h-a-l-a-q-a
00:52:47for in it
00:52:48is involved
00:52:49the idea of measuring
00:52:51fitting it into
00:52:53a scheme of other things
00:52:55c-f-i-l-i-v
00:52:5949
00:52:59also
00:53:00x-x-v
00:53:0159
00:53:02on the other hand
00:53:03the
00:53:04am

00:53:06of an i
00:53:08a-l-i-v
00:53:1050
00:53:11another word to note
00:53:12in the connection
00:53:14is
00:53:15jala
00:53:17making
00:53:18which seems to imply new shapes
00:53:20and forms
00:53:22new dispositions
00:53:23as the making of the signs of
00:53:26zodiac
00:53:27in the heavens
00:53:28or the sitting out of the sun
00:53:30and moon for light
00:53:32or the establishment of the succession of day and night
00:53:35x-x-v
00:53:3661-62
00:53:38a further process
00:53:39with regard to the soul
00:53:41is described in the word
00:53:43sawah
00:53:44bringing it to perfection
00:53:46x-c-i-7
00:53:49but
00:53:49this
00:53:50we shall discuss
00:53:51in its place
00:53:52fatara
00:53:53x-l-i-i-11
00:53:56implies like
00:53:58badah
00:53:59the creating of
00:54:00of a thing
00:54:02out of nothing
00:54:03and after
00:54:04no pre-existing
00:54:05similitude
00:54:07but perhaps
00:54:08fatara
00:54:09implies the creation
00:54:10of
00:54:10primeval
00:54:12primeval
00:54:13matter
00:54:14to which further processes
00:54:15have to be applied later
00:54:18as when one prepares
00:54:19dag
00:54:20like
00:54:21engano
00:54:21engano
00:54:23that word
00:54:24dag
00:54:24but
00:54:25leaves the living
00:54:27to be done
00:54:28after

00:54:30without

00:54:40pristine
00:54:41man
00:54:42from clay
00:54:44refers to his physical body
00:54:45leaving the further processes of reproduction
00:54:48and the breathing
00:54:49in
00:54:50of the soul
