[1:26]gateway to karbala [Music] uh [Music] [Music] were there humans before prophet

[2:25]adam alaihissalam and what was the meaning of life before adam alaihissalam

[2:29]it's a central question which you see discussed in christian circles you

[2:35]see discussed in muslim circles and importantly you see discussed in many

[2:41]scientific circles meaning that there are a number of scientists who seek

[2:47]to look at the narrative of religion and see whether the narrative

[2:51]of religion is one that has a basis or not now don't

[2:56]forget when we live in london or we live in europe we

[2:59]need to understand that we live in a society which is just

[3:02]about recovering from the clash of religion and science when i say

[3:09]just about recovering someone might say to me say it it's been

[3:11]a few hundred years since the first clashes between religion and science

[3:15]there are many who became disgruntled with the church because they felt

[3:21]that if you opposed any of the discussions in the book of

[3:25]matthew or the book of luke or you were a scientist who

[3:29]had a different opinion from what the bible said automatically you were

[3:32]thrown to the gallows why is this the case at the end

[3:38]of the day i need to understand the formation of this world

[3:40]this earth i see the formation of it and it takes me

[3:44]back for example four and a half billion years and i think

[3:48]of the big bang and i go back 14 billion years i

[3:52]as a human being have every right to try and understand the

[3:59]cosmos and have every right to understand everything that can be seen

[4:01]and that cannot be seen at the end of the day i'm

[4:04]seeking to understand where i came from where i am now and

[4:07]where i'm heading as imam alayhi salam may allah have mercy on

[4:11]the one who knows from where where to where each and every

[4:18]human being has every right to ask the question about their origin

[4:21]and so christianity had a major clash that eventually led to people

[4:28]sidelining it if you look at christianity today barring a fundamentalist streak

[4:34]which you can find in any religion you could find in islam

[4:37]you can find in hinduism you can find in buddhism a lot

[4:40]of christians now virtually give in or acquiesce to whatever society feels

[4:45]is the norm because they know that for a certain period of

[4:49]time the clergy were not allowing science to breathe for us as

[4:54]muslims however i think we always enjoyed discussions concerning science in the

[5:02]quran we always loved discussions concerning what the quran had to say

[5:09]about embryology for example what the quran maybe had to say about

[5:12]the big bang but we all knew one thing that the quran

[5:15]is not a scientific book nor does the quran claim to be

[5:20]it claims to be a book of guidance for those who want

[5:25]to be god conscious but we never saw when we were growing

[5:30]up i don't know if you all would agree with me we

[5:34]never really saw a major clash when someone brought a scientific discussion

[5:36]from the quran you actually enjoyed it and we always while medieval

[5:44]europe and christendom was attacking science we were always on the forefront

[5:53]of discussions concerning what wisdom you gained from science what later would

[5:56]be called philosophy in many circles and we were ready to hear

[6:01]what avicenna had to say we were ready to hear what avi

[6:05]ross had to say so the likes of eben cena and ebin

[6:09]rosh and farabi and others we used to thrive on their discussions

[6:13]of medicine of the natural sciences but one thing we cannot deny

[6:20]is that from a young age we were always taught the first

[6:23]human ever was who adam alaihissalam we will accept that i'm sure

[6:29]we've all answered a question at school be it you know a

[6:32]saturday school or a sunday school who was the first creation who

[6:37]was the first human being on the earth and what would we

[6:41]always reply maybe even yasser and haidar in their quiz show maybe

[6:45]you guys even have your moments where you might turn around and

[6:50]say the first human on earth was adam central question here is

[6:57]is the father of the current generation of human beings or can

[7:04]we say that he is definitely the father of this generation but

[7:09]not the first homo sapien because normally that's what we refer to

[7:14]we refer to homo sapien don't we we refer to the homo

[7:19]sapien and now the question arose that is the first human on

[7:30]this earth someone says say idna listen i don't mean to be

[7:33]rude but i don't want to say this too loudly fossils are

[7:36]indicating that there were creations before adam so we've got a problem

[7:41]so what problem do we have he said because um as muslims

[7:45]we seem to date nabi adam alaihissalam back to about ten thousand

[7:50]years or so let's say yep six to ten thousand years is

[7:57]the dates that we date him back and we certainly know that

[8:00]christianity is looking at what christianity is looking at taking it back

[8:05]to who to about six thousand years seven thousand years ten thousand

[8:08]years twelve thousand years of course as a muslim i've never seen

[8:11]anyone who wrote nabi adam born on dijon do you agree with

[8:15]that no no one has ever said nabi adam was born on

[8:16]this date or died on this day but let's be realistic between

[8:19]rasulullah the holy prophet peace be upon his family let's say there's

[8:25]30 names that are normally given to us even between us let's

[8:29]say i'm sayid for example me going back to my holy prophet

[8:35]let's say there's 30 35 names so let's say that whole time

[8:38]period you're not looking more than 10 000 years a friend of

[8:40]mine goes they've discovered a skull of a homo sapien in kenya

[8:45]two and a half million years old while we see it as

[8:51]amazing there's a problem because then how does the adam story fit

[8:54]in some muslims want to open their mouth about this but we

[9:00]muslims became like the church that if somebody asked the question like

[9:04]this why do you have these atheist questions but what's atheist about

[9:08]this question it's a fantastic question even tomorrow when we discuss evolution

[9:12]in the quran we'll try and look at whether we can find

[9:16]a reconciliation between darwin and the quran but when we're looking at

[9:22]this question i see someone say to me say isn't it you

[9:24]know in siberia they found that mammoths they found for example the

[9:30]teeth of mammoths dating back 1.2 million years i do also sometimes

[9:39]wonder when i do tafseer of watini was they toon a teen

[9:42]goes back 80 million years you know the the the fig tree

[9:48]goes back 80 million years it's very interesting in that surah allah

[9:52]wants us to be reminded of how he's guided every one of

[9:56]his creations but the teen goes back 80 million years and the

[9:59]zeitung is the tree of life the olive tree is the tree

[10:04]of life we'll discuss evolution more tomorrow the point here is could

[10:08]there have been humans before adam alaihissalam because if fossils are telling

[10:15]me one thing do i hold on to quran but the fossil

[10:19]is telling me something and that's where the main point has to

[10:21]come islam has no problem with a human being going into science

[10:26]and revealing god's secrets what's the aim of science to reveal god's

[10:31]secrets if science of course with a disclaimer has got no moral

[10:36]conscience you don't mind putting a bomb in the middle of the

[10:40]far east and not caring who dies but it needs to be

[10:45]with that conscience prophets of allah encouraged us to reflect to study

[10:52]the natural world not just to focus on the spiritual and mystical

[10:57]but sometimes spirituality comes through reflection of the stars as the quran

[11:01]always is telling you or through the skies or the reflection of

[11:05]water it's trying to highlight that listen don't be an enemy of

[11:10]science but i turn around and i'm like hold on a minute

[11:12]the story of adam and eve is only taking me back ten

[11:15]thousand years or so and i'm finding a skull two and a

[11:19]half million years ago i'm finding the teeth of a mammoth 1.2

[11:22]million years ago i'm finding that in in a cave in bulgaria

[11:24]for example they'll find i don't know that they'll find in a

[11:29]cave in bulgaria or even certain carbon dating you see people who

[11:32]have carved things in walls and painted and drawn and that's 40

[11:37]000 years ago so then the question arose when we look at

[11:43]the quran have we really understood the verses to mean that as

[11:51]intended by the lord was the first human on this earth or

[11:56]was adam the father of the current generation of humans but not

[12:04]the first homo sapien and i think if you look in the

[12:10]quran and look at the traditions of you will come to a

[12:14]conclusion that was the father of this generation but not the first

[12:19]human being now someone says show it to me quranically so let's

[12:24]jump in and where i want to jump in from is firstly

[12:27]a spiritual angle before i get to the whole idea of physical

[12:34]human surah 7 verse 172 is one of the most interesting and

[12:40]i i'm going to give the following titles to and i want

[12:42]everybody at home to please go to surah 7 verse 172.

[12:44]i'm going to say this is a mystical ayah i'm going to

[12:47]say it's a spiritual ayah i'm going to say it's an ayah

[12:51]for theology i'm going to say it's an ayah that takes you

[12:53]to the very heart of your existence as a human being because

[12:56]when you go to surah 7 172 what you're seeing in this

[13:00]is you're seeing an interaction that i can't remember can you remember

[13:05]i don't think any of us can remember him took forth uh

[13:15]from the children of adam from their backs their descendants and foresee

[13:24]him and he made them bear witness upon their own selves allah

[13:29]become am i not your lord do you remember this i can't

[13:44]remember when did this happen god brought us forth us the children

[13:53]of adam from and our descendants and he made us bear witness

[14:02]up upon our own selves am i not your lord and we

[14:03]supposedly replied yes we do bear witness do you remember how do

[14:10]we explain that all we really need to know is that somewhere

[14:16]in the formation of what we know as the human being sometime

[14:23]when were we just particles can particles comprehend we certainly know that

[14:32]this eye is always called the eye of or or this ayah

[14:40]this verse 172 some call it the beginning of the arc of

[14:43]descent that the first interaction isn't that i give in and go

[14:52]where everyone else is going homo sapien who's the first no no

[14:58]first it seems within my primordial nature i already had an interaction

[15:02]with the lord some say say is that deja vu maybe when

[15:04]i see something i'm like where have i seen this some say

[15:10]it sixth sense maybe some say is it plato and recollection theory

[15:14]i'd recollect this from somewhere this soul of mine precedes my body

[15:22]i recollect something divine the beginning therefore for us as humans isn't

[15:31]to straight away look at how we're created or the possibility that

[15:34]there were humans before but first and understanding that even when we

[15:38]were just in a world of particles atoms souls there seems to

[15:44]be an interaction between us and god can you remember it i

[15:49]can't but should we ponder over it it seems that every human

[15:53]being within their fitrah there is this recognition of allah so i

[16:00]don't want to throw the human straight into the current discussion of

[16:03]human which is um oh you know maybe a random set of

[16:07]accidents that came together and um oh he's done quite well this

[16:10]human being no no no for us there's a much more mystical

[16:14]presence there is actually a discussion between us and the lord and

[16:16]it's as if there's while there's a descent occurring there could be

[16:22]an ascent back to the divine origin but this ayah by itself

[16:26]requires many discussions but all we can see beautifully from this ayah

[16:30]is we have two worlds now the world of the melakut and

[16:35]the world of mulc the world of va'hir and the world of

[16:38]the world of shahad the world of rabb this eye has taken

[16:45]me to melakut tobaten to rabe where the homo sapien or the

[16:49]human develops will be in the world of shahada the world of

[16:54]the world of the mulk you see how islam as a religion

[16:58]wasn't meant to simply be about what time is iftar and is

[17:02]the moon cited for eid islam as a religion took you back

[17:06]to your very origin the way science wants to know did the

[17:08]earth get formed 4 billion years ago and the big bang was

[17:11]14 and a half billion years ago islam wanted to tell you

[17:14]let's take you back even further when they were just particles the

[17:17]lord already had a discussion with the human being where's the first

[17:20]trace that adam is not the first human where's the first trace

[17:24]go to sort of two verse number 30.

[17:26]and i think that many of you at home my dear brothers

[17:30]and sisters i think that many of you know this ayah and

[17:33]you all are gonna know where i'm heading with this i am

[17:36]because this ayah there's a part of it that everybody always asks

[17:42]me about god has appointed the khalifa on earth who appointed who

[17:48]god appointed we agree surah appointed no sake appointed no three four

[17:58]people appointed six people in the house with the fear of being

[18:01]executed appointed no god set the precedent from the beginning you human

[18:06]are not to be trusted with who you appoint you're gonna appoint

[18:10]your best friend you're gonna appoint the one who looks after your

[18:12]interests i appoint the caliph on earth to the angels this conversation

[18:27]between god and the angels he says to them i'm appointing a

[18:39]caliph on the earth if god is just he wouldn't leave the

[18:44]human being without an exemplar of how to reach god of how

[18:47]to talk to god do you agree even if the community is

[18:52]going to be made up of four people there has to be

[18:54]a khalifa and for the beginning of mankind how then with the

[18:58]most important message of mankind does the most important messenger leave a

[19:02]community to elect only allah knows but we have to use angels

[19:14]are going to reply and this is very interesting because on the

[19:18]one hand it's beautiful dialogue but on the other hand there's a

[19:21]problem here because how dare you they normally don't ask questions do

[19:27]they they've got the intelligence there's no doubt about that they're not

[19:33]robots but normally it's submission god says i'm appointing adam on earth

[19:44]adam is supposedly the first ever human created by god but the

[19:49]angels seem to know something here they say are you gonna send

[19:54]someone who causes mischief and bloodshed while listen we've got all right

[20:00]we got right to reply here no no no while we're the

[20:08]ones who are doing what we sing your praises ya allah we

[20:12]are the angels why can't we be khulafah and if you don't

[20:15]want us to be then why have you made or are you

[20:19]gonna send someone who's gonna cause mischief and bloodshed how do they

[20:22]know this is the first human how do they know the human

[20:24]being can cause mystery from bloodshed how would you know oh angels

[20:29]how does an angel know that a human can cause mischief and

[20:34]bloodshed first point some said that the reason they ask god are

[20:42]you gonna send someone who causes mischievous bloodshed adam adam homo sapien

[20:48]homo sapien not good reputations we probably still agree with them until

[20:53]today why the first point some says this has nothing to do

[20:58]with adam being the first or not because if you look at

[21:03]the makeup of the human that the angels saw in front of

[21:05]them as clay without the roof being breathed into it when they'd

[21:10]asked god what is that he would reply by saying human what's

[21:13]the faculties of the human reason wow what else imagination ayasir imagination

[21:26]what else anger said and what else desire we agree when they

[21:34]looked at that they're like listen this is gonna cause havoc because

[21:38]if this creation that can get angry and that has an overwhelming

[21:44]passion and desire and has an imagination that can destroy man this

[21:49]creation is going to cause mischievous bloodshed were they wrong haven't we

[21:54]seen some abysmal abysmal examples of how low you can be as

[22:02]fella yeah not even as fell safely if there was an elephant

[22:08]before safely then you'd say lowest of the low the low this

[22:13]is the lowest you can't get nearer no one comes nearer there

[22:18]are some examples like you look at examples in our history you

[22:23]see the likes of faraon for example how low no no no

[22:28]no not of the lowest this is the meaning of law you

[22:33]look at examples like you look at examples like yazid you look

[22:37]at examples like this in the history of our religion and dictators

[22:41]who have nothing to do with religion how many did you see

[22:43]disgusting dictators where their desires or their imagination or their anger overtook

[22:52]them they were no longer human even an animal would look at

[22:54]them baffled by their behavior the angels had a point so the

[22:58]first argument was saying that this had nothing to do with anything

[23:00]it just says that they they saw the human is made up

[23:03]of anger imagination inside they said look this human is going to

[23:08]cause facade the other said no they must have seen a human

[23:10]before adam because we know very well that amongst the most important

[23:20]people in this story is satan who we call iblis now how's

[23:25]the beliefs got into the company of all these people and you

[23:28]see these narrations that are there where seemingly on earth you sometimes

[23:34]hear about the you know you hear about the hen and the

[23:38]bin who were you know two groups who were living on the

[23:42]earth and the and of them the jinn destroyed them and of

[23:45]the good jinn was iblis and um iblis was put in the

[23:50]ranks of the angels you might find some ulama who believe that

[23:54]iblis was an angel like maybe the biblical version maybe a fallen

[23:59]angel majority believe that he is a jinn but it seems that

[24:02]he wins honor according to certain traditions it seems that he wins

[24:07]honor otherwise how's iblees if he's a jinn in the company of

[24:10]malaika clearly something's happened on the earth the angels have seen on

[24:15]the earth now we hear different things about there's a group called

[24:18]the nisnas and they're half human half gin let's just get to

[24:24]the point the fossils are showing us that homo sapiens existed 300

[24:27]000 years ago for example a million years ago why do i

[24:32]need to go into all this discussion about jin punching human or

[24:37]neanderthal or humanoids or whatever you want to call them clearly before

[24:41]adam alaihissalam clearly there were homo sapiens before adam otherwise the the

[24:46]angel is not going to say in this line attache the angel

[24:55]when they're saying this line are saying it because they have seen

[25:01]homo sapien before adam and they've seen that those guys were absolutely

[25:08]destructive but those guys still had a language farming agriculture and so

[25:16]on and so forth farming agriculture language all of these do they

[25:20]start with adam or do we have evidence that these things existed

[25:23]before adam there's a big question here were their languages spoken that

[25:30]predate adam let's go to adam talking what language he's speaking go

[25:38]to sort of seven my dear brother sisters at home join me

[25:42]sora7 verse number 20 there's a whole conversation anyway from verse 20

[25:49]probably one onwards um uh where are we yeah do you see

[25:59]adam the adam eve satan story is all either in surat al-baqarah

[26:03]or surah al-araf okay and in speaking now what language he's speaking

[26:12]in it's it's got to be some ancient language okay some might

[26:15]refer to it might be syriac older than that aramaic something semitic

[26:22]those languages predate the adam that we know okay i know that

[26:29]some will say even adam maybe spoke arabic we can see it

[26:32]here in arabic the reality is many of these languages that are

[26:37]related to adam predate you're going back hundreds of thousands of years

[26:40]in some cases with some of these languages so the very fact

[26:44]that when i'm looking at adam in his conversation for example and

[26:47]and and the reply from iblees as well for example manaha you

[26:53]know the famous lines that we've all read and where he swears

[26:56]to them very interesting in verse 21 people say how come nabi

[27:00]adam listen to iblis and it's very interesting this verse what would

[27:11]we always say what do we always say no give me one

[27:17]a bit softer than that one what's the classic one one lah

[27:22]of course shouldn't be taken that lightly but here it's very interesting

[27:26]iblis swears very interesting and so when imam al-baqara islam was asked

[27:31]how comes adam listened to abilis he said because adam have never

[27:37]met anyone who swears by allah and lies of course if he's

[27:39]if he's in our communities today many you swear by allah it's

[27:43]the truth but in that time who's never said one so it's

[27:48]very interesting this ayah that imam al-baqarah says that nabi adam looked

[27:51]at him please whatever he said by allah i've never met anyone

[27:56]who lies by allah then of course later on nabi adam realized

[28:00]many people like by trying by allah but what we find over

[28:02]here is that even the languages that are spoken if we're talking

[28:10]that adam spoke let's say a semitic language aramaic you're going back

[28:13]preceding the adam that we know predating the adam that we know

[28:18]let's take it even a step further my dear brothers and sisters

[28:22]when we come to farming and agriculture what were habili and kabir

[28:31]because in the story let's go to their story surah telma everybody

[28:35]at home please let's go with their story open the quran don't

[28:39]just look at me and make sure your kids are over in

[28:42]the quran because the next 10 years are going to be decisive

[28:44]one way or the other in terms of their belief in god

[28:47]when we look in surah 5 verse number 27 of the holy

[28:52]quran okay this is the story you've all read the story okay

[28:55]adam the son the story of the sons of adam they both

[29:04]are having to offer a sacrifice because has to appoint or has

[29:07]to announce i should say a successor after him who appoints the

[29:14]successor adam or allah allah they've kabil is dying for it is

[29:20]like whatever allah is the best of judges the decision is made

[29:26]for them to do what for them to offer sacrifice look at

[29:29]it they both offered the sacrifice one of them their sacrifice was

[29:42]accepted the other no what were they both doing one was offering

[29:47]a sacrifice maybe from his farm and the other from his flock

[29:51]but we know that if we're looking at the first signs of

[30:00]agriculture then they predate where we've put nabi's meaning that the first

[30:04]signs of agriculture are before habil before kabil and when you're studying

[30:09]the fossils you're finding that humans or on this earth humanoid homo

[30:15]sapien nay anderthal were already in the world of farming and agriculture

[30:18]before 12 000 years ago way before 12 thousand years ago before

[30:22]nabi adam alaihissalam so when i see that i'm like it must

[30:28]be the first two on this earth i realize that no on

[30:32]the country if there's farming and we're saying they're the first two

[30:37]but we found evidence that even before them there were people who

[30:40]clearly had to survive on this earth well how are you gonna

[30:42]do if you're gonna survive you're gonna find an animal you might

[30:45]hunt you might poach you might do whatever but that's predating adam

[30:49]alaihissalam so now what do we have we have a situation here

[30:54]further than that when he says to him says to habil what

[31:02]will i do kill listen brother you've offered a sacrifice i've offered

[31:10]the sacrifice allah accepts from those who are god conscious it's not

[31:14]about whether your flock is nicer than mine or more expensive than

[31:16]mine it's about the near of what you give rather than how

[31:21]what you give looks like of course some people use that as

[31:23]an excuse when they say it's the giving that counts and then

[31:25]you see what they've given and it really shows that you've not

[31:28]really given much thought it's the thought that counts they say to

[31:31]you okay that certainly doesn't look like you're giving much thought whereas

[31:40]that my father's asked for both of us to offer sacrifice you've

[31:45]missed the point here god maybe is not looking at sarah but

[31:51]the consciousness of his presence in what we're giving next verse what

[31:54]does it say he's gone on a violent one my brother to

[32:06]punch me i will not put forward my hand to punch you

[32:09]not because i can't punch you not because i can't slash you

[32:13]not because i can't kill you but simply because of the fact

[32:17]that i know that there is a lord who not only i'm

[32:19]in i'm scared of but i'm in awe of as well sometimes

[32:22]in life salat al-rahim when we're tested with it it's not that

[32:27]you can't hurt someone it's because you know there's a day of

[32:30]judgment where you're going to be asked about this otherwise if it

[32:34]was our choice you get the knife and you go and finish

[32:39]it off but it's not islam comes to culture your animalistic he

[32:49]begins to talk about the fact that you will bear the sins

[32:55]and the companions of hell and what does what happens with his

[32:59]nephs we all see the ayah here that his nafs laid him

[33:04]to do what he ends up actually killing his brother what have

[33:13]you gained by killing your brother it's disgusting so now in this

[33:17]situation it's very interesting we're told here this is a bit of

[33:22]a debate issue at this point because we're told here what he

[33:31]has to show him so allah sends the crow digging the earth

[33:36]so he might show him show him what how to bury the

[33:41]brother but what's interesting is there's evidence that homo sapiens have been

[33:45]burying for a hundred thousand years so is it that allah because

[33:54]this is the first person killed so i'm teaching you or because

[33:58]you are the father of a new generation of human beings so

[34:00]now you're being taught the manner of for example how to bury

[34:05]it doesn't mean just because he's learning how to marry that there

[34:08]weren't humans before this who were doing what who were burying so

[34:15]when some people have used this before they say okay look here

[34:20]the first to ever bury and if he's the first to ever

[34:24]bury that means he's the first human to have been killed but

[34:27]yes that doesn't then negate the adam as the father of this

[34:32]generation there may have been homo sapiens who lived in other parts

[34:34]pre-adam alaihissalam who also used to bury or maybe the method of

[34:41]burial maybe here is the first where you learn how to bury

[34:44]somebody alone whereas those would do mass burials or bodies in a

[34:46]particular area okay so what do we have here we have fossil

[34:51]evidence that takes you back way before nabi adam the very fact

[34:56]that you have skulls that are taking us back how many years

[34:59]taking us back two million years mammoth teeth 1.2 million years caves

[35:05]where people are drawing and writing way before nabi adam alaihissalam that

[35:09]means that nabi adam alaihi islam surely cannot be the first human

[35:15]being and that brings me on to a very interesting verse and

[35:18]i think you'll enjoy this one my dear brothers and sisters at

[35:24]home let's all go to surah 15 verse 26.

[35:24]this surah surah 15 verse number 26 i find it very interesting

[35:30]when i look from verse 26 to verse 28 but what i'm

[35:31]gonna do today is with the respected sadha who are sitting in

[35:36]front of me i'm going to want them to point out to

[35:38]me what they notice okay and i want all of you at

[35:43]home to look at surah 15 from verse number 26 till verse

[35:47]number 28 i've got in front of me uh a number of

[35:51]brothers i've got the cameraman i've got a few people in front

[35:54]of me and i've got all the viewers at home verse 15

[35:55]sort of 15 verse number 26 till 28 i'm going to give

[36:00]you a few seconds for all of you to read verse 26

[36:04]until verse number uh 28 so that you are able to help

[36:08]me sitting amongst us today um if he can read for us

[36:13]even loudly verse 26 27 and 28 just so that the other

[36:19]brothers are able to listen don't worry the camera can stay on

[36:21]me because i know he's a very shy human being and he

[36:23]doesn't want the whole camera on him but please if you can

[36:36]read it loudly for us i wanna ask the other three brethren

[36:53]over here and everybody at home when you're looking at verse 26

[36:58]to 28 they're discussing the human being correct what have you noticed

[37:05]what jinn before saying that not necessarily keep looking at it everybody

[37:14]at home verse 26 verse 20 is a decisive moment for us

[37:17]in our epoch of understanding what have you noticed about what god's

[37:24]saying we created man of clay that gives sound of black mud

[37:29]molded into shape and the gin we created before of intense hot

[37:35]smokeless fire and remember when your lord said unto the angels verily

[37:39]i create man of the essence of black mud black mud fashioned

[37:44]into shape my dear brothers and sisters at home focus on the

[37:49]arabic more than the english because the english sometimes is giving you

[38:02]one word for two different things being said i'm sure many of

[38:12]you at home have spotted it why in 20 verse 26 talk

[38:17]of insane in verse 28 of what's the difference between insane and

[38:22]bashar bashar if someone said to you heather bashar are the human

[38:31]ha then sun are the human english will only turn around to

[38:36]me and say human or mankind and bashar in the same verses

[38:40]about creation there is a difference in who's the insane and who's

[38:46]the bashar is it because god's trying to point to us that

[38:52]when i speak of insane i speak of the very first human

[38:59]created when i speak of bashar i'm speaking of the story of

[39:02]the father of your generation look at the difference between insane and

[39:07]bashar wallach here in verse 26 has it got to do with

[39:10]anything with the story of adam alaihissalam no we're just talking very

[39:15]general because this is the ayah sometimes you hear in in the

[39:20]cast ceremonies when we go to the mosque and there's a there's

[39:22]a waj and you say alhamdulillah [Music] don't we we here in

[39:29]the mosques in the wedding ceremonies and son homo sapiens going back

[39:39]300 000 years could not be adam there must be those who

[39:43]have come before us this is huge has a book called the

[39:55]book is available in english if i'm not mistaken translated by mawlana

[40:00]says do you presume that allah has created only this world and

[40:15]that he has not created a mankind except you no by allah

[40:22]he has created a thousand thousand worlds and a thousand thousand adams

[40:27]before you for which you are the last of these worlds and

[40:32]the last adam a imam items before adam in this ayah it

[40:45]says okay tomorrow we talk about evolution we're trying to understand the

[40:52]difference between the darwinian worldview islam is there much difference is there

[40:58]little difference well john okay now when i want to talk about

[41:03]your father now let's talk about his story what is why is

[41:18]there a stress in verse 26 of surah 20 of surah 15.

[41:26]we created man of clay that gives sound of black mud molded

[41:35]into shape but then in verse 28 allah says oh i know

[41:39]the story allah is speaking to the angels according to some will

[41:49]refer to who will refer to those humans who came before adam

[41:57]alaihissalam so what is nabi adam the father of this generation of

[42:02]humans either the previous could have ceased to exist finished and then

[42:05]he begins a new generation maybe or maybe there's some of them

[42:12]who continued living and takes you away from all that mess that

[42:15]you have how did nabi adam's sons and how did we continue

[42:18]for example if there's maybe other human beings there and they get

[42:21]married to other human beings or allah can just create other human

[42:24]beings and put them there because you know you always have in

[42:28]our households you know nabi adam and eve and then they have

[42:30]habit and they've got two sisters and so they had incest and

[42:34]then we evolved how could incest be allowed for then they would

[42:38]say even it's an hour i don't care if it's an hour

[42:41]i've been given after you've been given a this whole preoccupation of

[42:48]sometimes blind worship of what's written because i have to shut my

[42:52]brain no incest is disgusting i can't say that you know what

[42:57]at the beginning we had to have incest so that it continues

[42:59]you know changing the laws depending on what we feel like rather

[43:04]you could say that there were humans there oh allah can create

[43:07]humans so that procreation can continue therefore this particular verse is these

[43:15]particular verses are fundamental because they differentiate for you differentiate between the

[43:21]insane and the bashar and i hope that more people at home

[43:24]are able to delve deeper into this discussion about what is insane

[43:28]what's bashar yes adam may have been our father and yes he

[43:34]is allah for on earth but that in no way should mean

[43:39]that i as a muslim become blind when i see fossil records

[43:41]show me that there were human beings that have come before nabi

[43:46]adam a question may be asked if a human came before adam

[43:52]who was their prophet the answer may be that there was a

[43:58]realm where the fitra meant that we had spoken to god and

[44:00]if you looked around you and you saw a tree or you

[44:03]looked around you and you saw the seas something inside you from

[44:07]that mystical conversation that we had at the beginning may tell you

[44:12]that there definitely is a god and that would be enough for

[44:14]salvation join me tomorrow when i continue with part two of this

[44:18]discussion where we look at evolution in the quran and the discussions

[44:23]concerning the development of the human being thank you all so much

[44:38][Music] uh i [Music] am [Music] the holy month of ramadan is
