## Transcript
**[0:00]** Animals, what did Allah say about animals? In the Qur'an, Allah tells us, مَا مِنْ دَابَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا طَائِرٍ يَطِيرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ إِلَّا أُمَمٌ أَمْثَالُكُمْ

**[0:16]** There is not a single animal or a creature on earth or a bird that flies in the sky, except they are nations like you. And one way to understand that verse is as simple as that, yeah, animals are nations like us, so when we look at them, understand that.

**[0:33]** But Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah has an amazing tafsir of this. He actually says something really interesting. He says there is an opposite meaning of this verse, and the meaning is the following, Allah knows that the human being has different states within, different traits, different personalities, I can cultivate different characters.

**[0:50]** So Allah created from the animal kingdom, different animals that represent the different states of the human being. So subhanAllah, when you look at this verse and that tafsir, you say, oh subhanAllah, there are some human beings that have the,

**[1:06]** as the Prophet (ﷺ) told us, have the body of a human, but the heart of a wolf. And in the Qur'an, Allah describes some human beings that are like cattle, إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا كَالْأَنْعَامِ, and the question becomes the following, and Ibn al-Qayyim commented on this, and he says,

**[1:22]** subhanAllah, what animal are you? And he says some people, they're like peacocks. Some people, they just mimic others, they're like monkeys. Some people are like wolves in their hirs and their aggressiveness. Some people are like, you know, subhanAllah, like pigs.

**[1:38]** So animals, different state of animals represent different states of the human being. What animal or what my state, what animal would represent it? That would be a very interesting question. And, you know, I remember years ago, I went to my son, and he was only eight years old at the time, or even seven years old.

**[1:56]** And I told him about this verse, and I told him, you know, Allah said this, and what do you think, what animal would represent me, your father, your dad? What animal would be, and immediately, without even thinking, he said, yes, Baba. And I said, what?

**[2:13]** He said, a donkey. I was like, لا يا ابني بس كده حرام, donkey? Donkey, why? And he said, yes, Baba, you're so patient. You're so clement. You carry people on your shoulder, and you never complain. Donkey. And I was like, what about mama? Yes, a hippo. Don't tell her that, please. Why?

**[2:31]** She's very protective of us, and she takes good care of us. And if anybody tries to approach us, she will attack, and she... I said, طيب, that's interesting. But more importantly, if I am a believer, did Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, or the Prophet (ﷺ), select from the animal kingdom, an animal,

**[2:47]** and he says, like, a believer is like that animal, what would be that creature of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala? And indeed, the Prophet (ﷺ), looking at the different types of animal kingdom, and different type of creatures of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, in a hadith, he tells us (ﷺ),

**[3:04]** مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ كَمَثَلِ النَّحْلَةِ. If you want a creation of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, that represents a believer, it is not a cat, it's not a dog, it is not a lion, it's the honeybee. A believer is like the honeybee. Why?

**[3:20]** And the Prophet (ﷺ) explained, said, honeybees, when they go to a garden, they select the best thing in the garden, they select the flowers. When they land, they do not destroy anything, they're not like locusts, they do not destroy, they don't cause any corruption, they land very gently.

**[3:35]** And when they take something, they take the best thing, they take the nectar. And then when they go home, what do they give out? They give honey. فِيهِ شِفَاءٌ لِلنَّاسِ. A believer is that way. When he goes to some place, he picks the best thing in it. He does not go after the worst thing in it.

**[3:50]** That's one. Second, a believer, when he takes, he takes the purest, and when he gives, he gives the purest. That is a believer. That's the attitude of a Muslim. We should be like honeybees. But there are much, much more than this. Yes, the concept of gratitude.

**[4:07]** So, honeybees, when honeybees enter a garden, they go for the best and purest in it. They select the flowers, and then they take the best. There are other creatures, like the dung beetle. They go to the same garden that the honeybee went to, but they don't go for the flowers. They go for what, as you know, they go for the dung, and that's what they bring home.

**[4:26]** There are some humans, when they see a beautiful person in front of them, they pick that which is best trait in him, and they speak about it, and they spread it, and they take it home. Yet other people see the same human being, and what are they looking for? His mistake, his flaw, and then they take it, and spread it, and take it home.

**[4:43]** I should not be a dung beetle. I should be like the honeybee. But also a very important concept. Honeybees are collective in nature. They're not individualistic. This is one trait, one disease that is afflicting mankind in general,

**[4:58]** and Muslims in particularly, particularly in our time. A lot of the things we suffer from is because of this attitude. I cannot face life by myself. Yes, I have Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, but where is the Ummah? Where is my family? I cannot have this attitude of being by myself in everything, me and me first.

**[5:17]** It is not about me. It's about us. I have to learn that I have a family I have to take into consideration. I have an Ummah that I have to take into consideration. Whenever I make a decision, I take it with a collective, a collective attitude, not individualistic. Like the honeybees, they work together.

**[5:33]** They have one queen. They follow. They know how to follow. There is one that is the soldier, the soldier bee. There is one, the worker bee. And they don't compete. Everybody knows what they're doing. So that together, they form a community. They know how to follow orders. They submit.

**[5:48]** They surrender. And therefore, they create a hive that generates honey that is فِيهِ شِفَاءٌ, wherein it is cure to mankind. We have to have this collective attitude. A final lesson from the honeybee. Science, scientists tells you, honeybees are very interesting.

**[6:04]** They fly and they search for a flower and, you know, they return back to the hive. First, how do they find their way? How do they find their way to the flower? It's sometimes very far. And how do they navigate? And they said something interesting. The honeybee relies on the sun.

**[6:20]** SubhanAllah, like its compass. When it flies, it looks at the sun and finds the angle and says, yeah, 30 degrees from the sun and starts flying. But wait a minute. By the time it reaches the flower and the time back, the sun moved. Scientists discover the honeybees.

**[6:35]** Allah made them able to correct for the movement of the sun. They don't know math. They don't know calculus. Yet Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave them the ability to calculate where the position of the sun is and correct for it on the way back. But here is the lesson. What if it is cloudy?

**[6:52]** What if there are clouds and the honeybees cannot see the sun? How will they find their way? They might get lost. And subhanAllah, scientists discover honeybees, unlike humans, they see, yes, red, orange, green, yellow, but honeybees see beyond the humans.

**[7:08]** They see the ultraviolet rays. Their eyes can detect it. Why is that important? Clouds, they block white color. They block, you know, the red, green, orange, yellow, but ultraviolet rays penetrate the cloud. So for me as a human, when I look up and it's a cloudy day,

**[7:24]** I don't see the sun. It's dark. But guess what? For the honeybee, it looks up and it is sunny. I can see the sun because I see ultraviolet. Why is that important? The sun is there. All what it takes is a thin layer of water vapor called the cloud

**[7:40]** to veil me from the sun. When I don't see the sun, I don't have light. When I don't have light, I do not see. When I do not see, it becomes really scary very fast and I don't know where to go and I cannot navigate my way in life. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has different attributes like the rainbow of colors.

**[7:59]** If a believer knows Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala only with some of them, Allah is the most giving, Allah is the most generous and that's it. What happens when a layer of calamity afflicts us? So as a believer, I know Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala supposedly with all his attributes. But what if I know Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

**[8:16]** with some of his names? Allah is the most giving, Allah is the most generous, Allah is the most forgiving, all beautiful names of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. But what happens when Allah chooses? He's Al-Mu'ti, He's the one that gives, He's the one that denies. What happens when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala denies me? What happens when afflictions happen? When calamities

**[8:32]** and things that I don't understand and it's negative and I ask and it seems Allah does not give. What it's like? Calamities, afflictions, negative experiences becomes like this cloud. And Allah has never veiled. The sun is there, but it's me that is veiled. And the same thing happens.

**[8:50]** The cloud comes. And because I don't know Allah with his names, I know him as Al-Mu'ti, the one that gives. I don't know Al-Mani', I know Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala as the most forgiving. I don't know Al-Qahhar, the irresistible. And when Allah, when those afflictions happen, those who know Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala with all his attributes

**[9:07]** can see through the calamities and tribulation and can still see Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's lutf and jamal and generosity through the clouds of afflictions and they can still see the sun and they can still be guided and they still understand what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wants.

**[9:23]** So I must try to know Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala with all his attributes. I must expand my vision like the honeybee. I know Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala not only with the attributes that I perceive are beautiful and others, all the attributes of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala are beautiful.

**[9:39]** I cannot navigate this life without knowing Allah properly. To know Allah properly, I have to know him as what? Al-Nafi' al-Darr, Al-Rafi' al-Khafid, the one that raises, the one that lowers, the one that gives life, the one that takes life, the one that puts forward, the one that takes backward,

**[9:56]** the one that gives and the one that holds, the one that is irresistible, the one that is the attributes of majesty and the attributes of beauty. When that is the case, no matter what happens, affliction or no affliction, times of ease and time of hardship,

**[10:11]** I see Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's attribute manifested in everything and through everything. Nothing blocks me from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. There is no veil between me and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and therefore I can be a muhsin. Ihsan is to worship Allah as if you see him.

**[10:31]** And if you don't see him, you're aware that he sees you. The ability to see Allah in all conditions, through all his attributes, cloudy day or not cloudy day, like the honeybee. That is a believer.
