Fatir

to attack us, to come at us every day, every night.

Allah SWT in ayah 6 of Surah Fatir, Allah SWT says, إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَكُمْ عَدُوًّا فَاتَّخِذُوهُ عَدُوًّا إِنَّمَا يَدْعُوا حِزْبَهُ لِيَكُونُوا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ السَّعِيمِ Allah He teaches us again that Shaytan is an enemy to all of us.

To all of us.

So take him as an enemy.

We ask Allah to give us beneficial knowledge, understanding of our deen and sincerity in our speech as well as our actions.

We were, uh, in our Fajr Reflections or Fajriyat, um, we currently stopped on Surat Al-Fatir or Surat Fatir.

Um, Fatir being the one that creates without any prior example.

So similar to, similar to Al-Khaliq, the creator.

But-- or this one you would say potentially a good translation would be the originator.

The originator, Al-Fatir.

So we have here Surat Fatir being a Makkan surah.

So you're gonna see the ideas of the Hereafter.

So they, they say this meaning Al Qiyyum says this perfect, perfect self sufficiency Perfect.

Subhanallah And the two verses in the Quran One of them is very close to my heart يا أيها الناس أنتم الفقراء Said in Surah Fatir Oh people generally not Muslims everybody you are the beggars you are the needy أنتم الفقراء إلى الله You are the beggar to Allah.

You need Allah.

You are in dire need of Allah والله هو الغني الحميد Another meaning of self-sufficient.

That's the reason the Quran says we all follow one deen, one religion.

And in Surah 35, verse 43, it says, You will find that God's system is never changeable.

You will find that God's system is immutable.

Meaning that God's system does not change.

But the children of Adam, that God is saying that all children of Adam have this honor that God has bestowed upon them.

So as a species, God is inferring that all of us have been given this honor by God, irrespective of our creed, our tribe, our status.

And in Surah 35, verse 10, it says, Anyone seeking dignity should know that to God belongs all dignity.

To Him ascends the good words, and He exalts the righteous works.

Yanni, Whomever wants dignity, dignified, honor, Allah owns it.

This is in Surah Fatir.

So again, everything we talked about, I will bring it back to this, the connection with Allah.

Work on the connection with Allah.
