Who is Allah? What do we know about God? How did God create the heavens and the Earth?

Описание: Dive into the profound eloquence of Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (AS) in this recitation of Khutbah 1 (Sermon 1) from Nahj al-Balagha – one of the most majestic descriptions of Allah's divine essence, the creation of the universe, and the journey of humanity.

This timeless sermon begins with unparalleled praise of Allah (SWT), Whose glory transcends all human description, attributes, and limitations. It explores the perfection of faith through knowing Him, affirming His Oneness (Tawhid), and purifying devotion by denying imperfect attributes – emphasizing that true sincerity lies in recognizing His absolute transcendence beyond creation.
Witness the breathtaking account of creation: how Allah originated the heavens and earth by His infinite power, dispersed winds by His mercy, formed the surging seas and churning winds, raised the seven heavens adorned with stars and celestial lights, and filled them with angels in eternal worship – prostrating, glorifying, and carrying out His commands without tire.

The sermon then recounts the creation of Adam (AS): molded from clay, breathed into with the divine spirit, granted intellect and senses, and honored by the angels' prostration – except for the arrogant Iblis. It touches on Adam's descent to earth as a place of trial, Allah's mercy in repentance, and the sending of prophets to remind humanity of the forgotten covenant with their Lord.
Culminating in the seal of prophethood, Muhammad (PBUH & his family), sent to fulfill Allah's promise, guide from error, and complete the message – leaving behind the Qur'an as the eternal guide, clarifying halal and haram, obligations and wisdoms.

Finally, it highlights the obligation of Hajj to the Sacred House, a symbol of humility, submission, and spiritual trade for forgiveness.

This powerful khutbah reminds us of Allah's signs in the universe, the purpose of creation, and the straight path of Islam.

Perfect for reflection, spiritual growth, and deepening your understanding of Tawhid and divine wisdom.
