Hany IbrahimGUEST
The alif is the first extension of the nuqta, the upright line of unity, essence, transcendence, and qayyumiyya from which the letters arise and to which they return.
Hany IbrahimGUEST
The ba is the first threshold of relation and manifestation, the second effusion or after the alif, after the unity, the letter through which existence appears in bismi, my name, and the sign of the Muhammadan first intellect reality, also known as the aql al-awwal, the first intellect.
Hany IbrahimGUEST
Yeah.
Hany IbrahimGUEST
The basmala, ba-but this, they use it in Islamic philosophy, the aql al-awwal.
Hany IbrahimGUEST
Okay? So the pen, the intellect are similar in meaning, okay, to prophecy because the pen brings out what's inside your head, the hidden, into outer, the, for the realm of the malakut, unseen, out to the m-realm of the mulk.
Hany IbrahimGUEST
Similar, the aql also has ideas inside realm of the malakut that are brought out through the aql.
Abu Bakr ZoudGUEST
How can he have a father and a mother? If he had a father and mother, then that would be the God.
Abu Bakr ZoudGUEST
Because from the names of Allah, he's Al-Awwal, the first, the beginning.
Abu Bakr ZoudGUEST
Sorry, the first.
Abu Bakr ZoudGUEST
Allah Azzawajal does not have a beginning.
Ali Al-BarghouthiHOST
And that you can say is a Definition coming from Rasulullah A.S. marking the best definition of that name of Allah Azzawajal.
Ali Al-BarghouthiHOST
You are Al-Awwal, there is nothing and no one before you.
Ali Al-BarghouthiHOST
Al-Awwal.
Ali Al-BarghouthiHOST
Al-Tabari Rahimahullah, he said, هو الأول قبل كل شيء بغير حد.
Ali Al-BarghouthiHOST
Allah Azzawajal is Al-Awwal before everything without a limit.
Ali Al-BarghouthiHOST
So in other words, if you were to translate that, you would say, did Allah Azzawajal have a beginning? No, have a limit.
Ali Al-BarghouthiHOST
If you go back in time, this is no limit at all.
Ali Al-BarghouthiHOST
So he says, so someone and everyone should note Allah's ni'mah upon him.
Ali Al-BarghouthiHOST
Amma ba'ad.
Ali Al-BarghouthiHOST
After learning about Al-Awwal wal-Akhir, we said that the following two names are going to be Al-Zahiru wal-Batin.
Ali Al-BarghouthiHOST
And as did Al-Awwal wal-Akhir complement each other to give you a fuller picture of who Allah Azzawajal is, so do Al-Zahiru wal-Batin do that.
Ali Al-BarghouthiHOST
And as the first two indicated, um, a spatial encompassing, as we said, ihatatun makaniya.
Ali Al-BarghouthiHOST
Allah Azzawajal is before-- I'm sorry, ihatatun zamaniya, a temporal encompassing before everything and after everything.

Ali Al-BarghouthiHOST
Is that clear? Yeah.
Ali Al-BarghouthiHOST
Inshallah.
Ali Al-BarghouthiHOST
So it was mentioned only once in the Quran, as we said, with the name Al-Awwalu wa'l-Akhiru, Huwa Al-Awwalu wa'l-Akhiru, Huwa Al-Zahiru wa'l-Batin.
Abu Bakr ZoudHOST
How can he have a father and a mother? If he had a father and mother, then that would be the God.
Abu Bakr ZoudHOST
Because from the names of Allah, he's al-awwal.
Abu Bakr ZoudHOST
The first, the beginning.
Abu Bakr ZoudHOST
Sorry, the first.
