As-salamu alaykum, folks. I want to share an empowering perspective on the miraculous nature of our being. You mean all of us inside. That we have the miracle to author our destiny.

0:30

You know, if you're feeling for anybody feeling that not just that they're down, they're stuck in a rut, that they have failed, that they have you know, life is miserable. And we've all experienced that. Listen to this. That we have the miracle as inside to author our destiny.

0:58

Free will, and the key word here is will. Now, there's a There's a Hadith in Tirmidhi that from the first that awwaluma khalaqallah that from the first primordial being or entities that Allah created is the divine is this pen with the divine ability to write destiny.

1:25

That Allah said to it, "Write out what shall be." Now, hold that thought for a moment. From the teachings of Sheikh Ibn Arabi, we are mirrors of the divine on Earth. We mirror the divine names, attributes, and the potential. That we have been given this this ni'mah, this blessing from Allah.

2:01

I want you to with that thought come to this verse of the Quran that we've all read from Surah Nun, Surah Qalam, that Nun that wal Qalam, Allah swears by the pen wa ma yastur. And what they write. And one meaning we can take from this that by this Allah is taking an oath by this pen.

2:31

And what they write. And as many interpretations that they can be for this one empowering one is what we write out our destiny. That we author it by the choices that we make, by the willpower.

2:59

This beautiful verse that that wa ma tasha'una illa in yasha' Allah rabbul alamin. That you do not wish you do not will something except Allah, Lord of the universe wills it into being. That speak, that from the word, and here metaphorically or symbolically write, author your destiny into existence.

3:36

Wal qalami wa ma yasturun. And those who write and one meaning we can also take is we write out our reality, we write out our story. That truly don't value the miracle of who we are, you, me, us all.

4:03

And in one way I would even go a step to say that it's it's it's a kind of kufur. Not in an in an entire faith sense, but a kind of kufur that we or at least of ni'mah. Kufranum ni'mah that we have not appreciated or valued the miracle that Allah has bestowed in each and every one of us.

4:38

May Allah enable us all to actualize our potential. Allah bless you and grant you ease for whatever you're going through. Salam Alaykum. Wakhuda Hafiz.
