Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
And peace and blessings be upon the company of the prophets and messengers.
Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and upon him and his companions.
Peace and blessings be upon him, and upon him and his companions.
And I will continue.
My brothers and sisters,
One of the most fundamental factors and features of this life, this earth,
I would like to say this time, but I think it's not just this time, it's all times,
is the fact of uncertainty.
And that is the reason why one of the most critical skills and abilities to develop in life
is the ability to deal with ambiguity,
the ability to remain with equanimity,
the ability to still steer a course to your destination,
despite whatever is happening around you in the world.
Uncertainty and ambiguity is the only certainty in the world, in life.
The one thing about which you can be absolutely certain is
that I do not know what will happen tomorrow.
Right?
And as I said, I would like to say that
this is a principle,
I would like to say that this is a peculiarity,
this is a peculiarity to this time,
but that's not true.
This has been the situation as long as humanity has lived on the face of the earth.
Tomorrow is always uncertain.
Take the time,
I'm just going to give you one example.
Take the time of the best of the best,
of Rasulallah .
If you read his seerah,
and you should read his seerah,
you study the seerah,
not just read his seerah,
if you study the seerah,
what comes across?
What is it that comes across?
Stability,
absolute predictability,
total certainty,
or total instability.
Completely unpredictable.
We don't know what will happen tomorrow.
Which one?
Is it an hints怪 .
Is it deflectibility ?
What's the praising ?
Is it conclusion ?
What is it?
There's one clear question
that depends on the situation of humanity.
What's theajobal universe?
It's going up and going down,
it's going up and going down,
and it's making discoveries.
Let's be honest to make an excuses wherever sums backdrop a poem.
This realise these minimal things-
this change in enjoyable things,
BC or whether you are talking about 4000 AD, whether you are talking about a bird flying
through the air or a mosquito or a bee or a locust or whether you are talking about
stealth bombers or A380 twin deck aircraft or a Cessna single seater, single propeller,
anything that is in the air is affected by the law of gravity.
Yes or no?
So if I come to you and I say, you know what, this was true, we don't deny that, but today
we live in America and this is 2025, the law of gravity does not apply.
What will you say to me?
You will say, no.
You will say, no.
You will say to me, your brother-in-law is a neurologist, why don't you ask him to prescribe
a brain scan for you?
Because something is, first of all, we have to see whether you have a brain itself and
then we see if that brain is functioning or...
And I can give you many examples, I don't want to waste your time.
You have enough intelligence to figure out more examples.
Take any fundamental law.
What is fundamental about a fundamental law?
That it does not change with time and place.
Yes?
If it changed with time and place, it would not be a fundamental law, as simple as that.
And that is why the importance of Al-Quran Al-Kareem.
Because the same one,
Jalla Jalaluhu Amma Nawaluhu Al-Hayyul Qayyum Malikoo Samawati Wal Ardh
Khaliqoo Kulli Ashyaa Wal Ahwal
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Jalla Jalaluhu
The same one who created the law of gravity,
the same one who created the law of thermodynamics,
the same one who created every fundamental law,
created laws of life,
which are also fundamental.
Which we know today as, in the Shari'i Stira, in the Islamic terminology, we call them
Halal and Haram.
What is Halal and Haram?
They are fundamental laws.
They don't change with time.
They do not change with time.
Pork.
