T) there is always light at the end, and even if you don’t see the light in this world, there is light in the hereafter, and your hope will not be cut. But if you put your hope in the limited creation in Allah (S. W. T), If they die, your hope gets cut off, or if they become poor, your hope gets cut off. But Allah (swt) is ever-living.

ﻻ ﺟآ ﺟﺎﻩ Continued… Example there is this rich person, and you always keep your hope in him. One day, this rich person becomes poor, and eventually your hope gets cut off. So, go direct to Allah (S. W. T) or the pure Representatives, where the hope does not get cut off.

ﻟ ﺇ ﻱ ﻓﻰ ﻳﺪ Continued… Why does Imam (as) want to put the angels, malaika and khalq (creation) the witness? ? ? Number one, He is trying to teach lessons to others, that, there is no god except Allah (swt), Because if he keeps Allah as a witness, then that’s enough as a testifier. He doesn’t need another witnesses, but it’s an Educational process. This dua was recited loudly, so Imam (as) was trying to tell everybody, that there is no God but Allah (swt), the supreme Lord.

ﻟ ﺇ ﻱ ﻓﻰ ﻳﺪ Continued… Number two, is the expression of the oneness of Allah. You are one witness, but Ya Allah I want to tell each and every single creation, that you are one…. . So Imam (as) had that kind of enthusiasm and excitement about Allah (swt).

ﻻ ﻻ And what ever you say, your saying is One. There is no one QOWL equal to your QOWL. There is No going against you. Khulf: Going against, Wala tabdeel: no change. Allah(S. W. T) says things and changes it himself, through his power.

ﻻ ﻻ Continued. . But Imam Zainul Abedeen (as) said, that there is no change in your word…. but there was a change…. so how can you respond? ? The knowledge of Allah is not changeable, its fixed. There is no change in the knowledge of Allah (S. W. T). This statement refers to the knowledge of Allah (swt).
