			so you don't have to rely on salatu salam ala Rasulillah Hamdulillah He handed you off in a way you
can see that was all Allahu ala Sayidina Muhammad didn't. Early he was so heavy during Allahumma
alumna In fact when I when I left dinner, was it in our element? Yeah, kidding. Or Beshara Helene so
Diddy was sitting empty CoreData melissani of poli are visiting Illman or visiting element or
visiting your Alma Allahumma Lazzara Illa Niger Delta who said hello and tattered, you're hesitant
either ashita Salah welcome everyone to another episode of the series of Baja. We are we were
discussing the story of Musa because most of sort of Baja actually happens to be the story of Musa
		

			and it's also known as the surah Musa it's also known as Surah to claim a claim Allah azza wa jal
ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada said Fernando amerihome and we left off at where Musa alayhis salam. He told
the magician's while you let them let after while Allah He can be by advise them told them not to
lie don't fabricate upon Allah azza wa jal, and he lies for the NAZA amerihome. So they ended up
disputing they ended up getting into arguments bainham between them, they started to arguing about
different things well as several Najwa and they now are speaking to one another in secrecy, okay,
after Musa Ali Salam gives it his advice now they're basically gathering together that leaders have
		

			missed them are gathering together to discuss what should we say? What should we do what should be
not, perhaps the advice of Musa al salaam really hit home run with them. And for that reason, they
were shook. And they wanted to discuss now how they should treat this situation because they already
we're pretty well aware that Musa alayhis salam is in fact not a magician, he happens to be
something else. So some of them said, Okay, so if he's able to win us, or win against us, we know
that we simply have the sleight of hand, we have this particular stick, we're going to throw it we
play something in it. So it will shake, you know, the Tafseer books pretty much habit that in the in
		

			the staffs of the magicians, they simply placed something already, right, that would make the staff
shake, as if it is like a snake. So it appear to people as if it's a snake, especially from a
distance. And perhaps who knows they dressed it like snakes, we don't know anyways, the idea is they
through the staff, they started shaking with the mechanism that they'd already placed within it.
However, if a real snake comes, it won't be able to outdo the it will definitely be able to overcome
these other fake sort of sticks, right? So they were not afraid. They said Now, if this person is
able to bring something else other than what we think to be magic, right other than what we can do
		

			simply make a stick appear like a snake even though it's not a snake, right? If he's able to do
something else, then let's believe in him. This is the discussion that they had missed them and some
scholars they say they had other discussions and anyways, we don't exactly know what the discussion
was but from
		

			What happens next? Perhaps this particular opinion that I mentioned to you is a good opinion on in
her Danny lesser Hadron
		

			in her Danila Sahara. Now in some of the narrations of this verse, And what I mean by durations of
this versus some of the Quran out of this verse, right, so we have the Quran, which are the seven
Quran or the tempura, and each party has some new ayat, some narrations for from each body, or E, A
sub body if you so please, right. And so for example, acid, we recite the Quran of acid and I'm
doing the Tafseer of the Quran, based primarily on the era of Assam, but through the narration or
through the recording of Hafs. And he also has short about as well. So most of the Quran, a number
of karate read in a ha Danny la Lessa Iran indeed, these two happen to be magicians now of course,
		

			who's speaking over here?
		

			They said some of them said that these must have been the magicians themselves. Okay. Kalu they said
in Danny, Lhasa, Iran over here in Hudson awesome in her Donny Lhasa, Iran, right.
		

			They said this must have been the magician's. And perhaps that's the case because right before that,
the
		

			the pronoun Wow. In the previous verse right in the beginning font DiNozzo amerihome They started to
dispute upon their matter disagree upon their matter is referring to the Sahara, it's referring to
the magician's. So perhaps this was a Mr. Things that they said. In private, they decided that if
he's able to overcome us, we will, we will definitely believe in Him. In public, and especially in
front of the Pharaoh. They ended up saying, these two people are in fact, magicians and we will be
able to overcome them. You did Danny, a new cookie jar coming out of the complicity Hema wired How
about adultery particular one was law. Now, of course, there's another understanding the third one
		

			was the one saying all of this, that indeed, these two happen to be magicians, they only wish for
them to lead you out of your land. Remember, Phil Allen was concerned so much about his land, even
an earlier episode, we discussed this. So he's telling them as well, they just want to take your
Dominion out of this land. They are magicians, and people come to you for help all magicians. So now
after their magic prevails, if it does, they will start going to Musa alayhis salam, they'll start
going to huddle and they set up so you have to make sure you correct yourself on this ahead of time
before something goes wrong, right? This is perhaps what frown is saying. And it could be that the
		

			that the magicians are saying this in either case, this conversation this idea is prevalent within
them, Pharaoh knows about it. Also the magicians knows about it, if they win today, Musa and Harun
the dominion of the soothsayers, the magicians and pharaon on top of all of them is going to fall
because people will say, These people are stronger than you and you people happen to be weaker,
right? And already the Israelites have had it because of all the oppression that they went through
from the Coptic. So they didn't now they just want to, they want out the Israelites themselves. In
her doneita Sahara, you read Annie and you agree Jack women are the equation, basically Hema, well,
		

			you're gonna have to have your party, a party, communal, Musleh Musleh. And they also want to take
away your very, very exemplary path, your exemplary lifestyle and style right now, whenever someone
brings something new to our society, one of the people people are concerned about is their
lifestyle. People are not willing to make changes and changes to their lifestyle because of the will
of God, right? Except those people who happen to truly be believers and those people who happen to
submit themselves to the belief that they have been bestowed with Allah subhanaw taala has granted
them with right, except those people, nobody else is really willing to submit themselves to the will
		

			of God and change, make instrumental changes within their own lifestyle for the sake of this new
guidance that they received. This is exactly what's happening over here. Either the magicians are
saying this or thrown himself is saying this that way, the habitability of particles they will get
rid of, and they will drive away and they will pretty much bring to an end your exemplary path and
your exemplary style, or what this means is and this is fairly speaking, that they will get rid of
Your Dominion, people come to you oh magicians, people come to you for help. And they come to you
for major decisions in life and they come to you when they when things go south in their lives. Now
		

			they're going to start going to Musa and how to win so you better make sure you win this one.
Otherwise you're going to be in a big problem.
		

			Now I've explained this verse in both ways, whether this was a statement of Iran or it was a
statement of
		

			or it was a statement of the major
		

			It appears to me that this is in fact the statement of the magician's because of the plural follow,
they said, but there's something important to mention over here. And that is in her doneita Sahara,
the word in her doneita Sahara. Indeed, these two happen to be magicians This is very important to
mention, and that is that some orientalists and some propagandists to be so pleased that have some
knowledge of basic grammar and so on and so forth. They will say this happens to be a mistake in the
Quran. Okay, right here, you guys say the language of the Quran is the epitome of all language and
so on and so forth. But here it is. I found your mistake, right.
		

			In her Danila Sahara, the norm is when you have the word Inna. This is the recitation of house
analysis in how Danila Sahara, you go to the other recitations, many of them which say in NA Dani
Lhasa Hara, indeed, these two happen to be magicians, right? Musa and hello. Now the norm is when
you have the word inner after it, whatever, I'm gonna get a little bit grammatical, if you don't
understand, don't worry about it, but whoever can understand it hamdulillah right, because I have to
get a little bit technical in order for me to ward off this particular accusation that's made around
the Quran or about the Quran. So you'll say look in some of the recitations of the Quran, Allah had
		

			revealed in na da da Nila slash Sahara and we know that the word inner it's a diagnostic it is a an
instrument which ends up making whatever is after it, have a have fat hatin on top of it, or it
makes it go through the state called the state of nos, right? There's three different states in
syntax the rough notes and job. So, it places it into the state of knots that means there should be
either forgotten or there should be a YA or there should be different things that can represent that
state of pneus. Right. So over here, it should have been in NA, they need us a hearing but over here
it says in Naha, doneita Sahara, even though it should have been based on basic grammar, if you
		

			studied the medina books, even you would know this, it should be in NA veiny. Right. But the thing
is, the Quran doesn't always come with basic grammar, that's the issue. Your basic mind may
understand one thing, but the Quran may come with something that's a little bit different, because
you have to understand Allah had revealed the Quran so that every single person on this the Arabs in
that society will be able to recite, some things are very difficult for certain tribes to say and
other things are very, very difficult for other other tribes to say. Now, when I used to hear this
answer before, some things are very difficult for some tribes to say, and other things are very
		

			difficult, very difficult for other tribes to say perhaps that other thing is easy for the first
tribe, and vice versa, right.
		

			When I used to hear this before, I would say well, you know what I can say in the hadan and I can
say nothing. I can say that. It's not difficult for me to say either one. Until in the final year of
my bachelor's degree. When I was in rehab, I, the teacher in our Tajweed class made me a TA okay,
I've taught Quran for many, many years of hamdulillah since I was perhaps 15 years old, even before
that taught Quran to people. And I've been reciting Quran since I knew life basically hamdulillahi
rabbil Alameen.
		

			So, the teacher ended up making me a TA this was maybe several years ago. And I was teaching now to
a person who is a Bedouin, literally, okay, my own classmates because there's three of us. And there
was a lot of different students. So the teacher took three students who he thought could become TAs
and, and he made me and two other students TAs. And we were teaching basically, we were taking the
class dividing it into four pieces, one portion for the teacher and the other portion for the other
students. Right. So now I have these students, some of whom come from city lives. Others are
literally Bedouin, okay, what I mean by literally veteran I mean, literally veteran, literally some
		

			of them are driving an hour from an hour away, okay, or hour or two away outside of Riyadh, coming
for the class. Okay, so they live literally in villages. They were raised, raised in village
culture. And they of course, speak Arabic as a native language. They're all Saudis. And one of the
students I started teaching him and a number of others as well. I realized that if I teach him to
say any word, he actually cannot say the word in any other way, except the way he grew up saying it.
It's like when I speak English and I speak with a Canadian accent, I cannot suddenly switch myself
into a into a, an Australian or a British person and so on. And so
		

			For perhaps someone that is learning the language as a new language altogether, he has to learn
every single intricacy of the language they can, they can learn, practice different voices for
certain words, but I cannot do that, right? It's very difficult and some people that are skilled,
they're able to manage that as well. Even though that is a little bit different, okay, Arabic is a
little bit more systematical in that regard. Okay, but this person is literally and I mean,
literally, I'm saying it's IE, he cannot say La he has to say Allahu, because all of his life he has
been saying, are they who are they who, and in the Quran, there's a couple of places where Allah Who
		

			does come as well. And that's also a dialect within the amongst the dialects of the errors. But I
realized at that point, it was one of those light bulb moments I realized that the hikma of Allah
revealing the Quran in these slightly different ways, so that people from each tribe are actually
able to pronounce this person is not able to and I'm trying, he's a student, his fourth year student
in a shitty our program or Islamic Studies program, he is not able to say anything, but what has
been raised up saying, I lay here lay here, Allahu Allahu Allah, because that's how he says it at
home. That's how he was raised up, and he's not able to pronounce anything else. Not that he doesn't
		

			have good Makati, she's Arab, he's able to say I ain't inviting and all the other mohatta as well.
But this particular word, it just didn't work for him. Okay, and then I noticed in some of the other
students as well. So my point again, over here is these people are not people who the Quran is
coming down to nomadic people, okay? They're not people who learn what alpha is, what a doula is,
what a customer is what, you know, this or that they just learned the language as a natural
phenomenon, or a natural sort of process of learning as they grew up a mother tongue. So it's going
to be very difficult for them as speakers to suddenly switch to, to another into something different
		

			that they're not used to. Right.
		

			So there was a and there's an incident like this, a teacher was trying to teach a student the bethia
that abena Have you want them? Right? Destruction beater, the hands of Ebola, whatever. So every
time you teach, you wanted to teach the student in intervals and not the hill if it was a young
child. So you would say Tibet yada, right? He's reciting the bethia. The, he would stop there. Now
he's hoping for the student to recite, and the students set up but you're done. Because you can't
stop like that. You can't stop like that in Arabic. Okay. If you want to drop the known then you
have to say Tibet, yada. I really have you have to say the whole thing. I'm getting to a very
		

			important point, when you are raised up with a language, it's hard for you to suddenly make a change
to it. Okay. So now let's get back to the ayah. In Aha, Danny is actually a dialect from amongst the
dialects of the Arabs in some of the dialects of the Arab Arabs, including the bead including
Hassan, including Ken Kwinana, including Ben unhealth, right. They used to actually say, Inna had
Danny okay, they would say they would say Jah ze Danny
		

			morale to busy dining or a to as Mara to be, say, Danny, or a to say, Danny, so in all three syntax
forms, they would actually leave the Elif. Okay, that was the way they would speak. So for Hassan
14, Nana, for a number of other tribes, it would have been difficult for it would have been
difficult for them to recite in a ha they need. Okay, so Allah subhanho wa Taala revealed it in this
way upon their ledger upon their dialect, so it's easier for people to recite, and this is found in
Arabic poetry as well. I'm saying all this because some people will say, Oh, no, there's some
scholars who's even Muslim scholars who said this is wrong. You know what, I'm not going to hide
		

			something from you because you're going to hear something from me. And then you'll say, well, the
Sheikh was saying this, but this particular Orientalist has another proof. It's not that I don't
know, I'll tell you directly. There are some Muslim scholars who have also said something like this,
but ignorance is cure through knowledge. If they didn't realize that there's other dialects
available within the Arabic language, then that is their problem. They just didn't know. And we have
a principle which says and must be tomoka Dominello Nafi. The one who affirms is always given
preference, you give preference to the person who affirms over the one who negates so someone
		

			negating the the fact that there happens to be another dialect within the classical dialect. So the
Arabs, he's going to be sidelined. If someone comes in establishes that, especially with the proof,
and I'll give you the proof. There's a line of poetry and there's many lines of poetry. And normally
when we talk about proofs in establishing a dialect, we go back to the classic Arabic poetry. A poet
says in ABA, what ABA, ABA, but the Belov off in Madiha. So over here, if you notice the poet is
saying in ABA
		

			That's fine, whatever the ABA, it should have been what about a B? Ha, but the better off image de
la da it should have been variety. Yeah. So he kept the LF in, in all of the states in the different
states right in the ABA, ABA, ABA, but the Bella half image DiVita and there's many examples of
this. So the point is in some dialects the ILF stays through all the different states whether that
be monsoon or Mujuru are also metaphor and this is basically one answer there's six different
answers to this so before you hear someone says you know there's mistakes in the Quran no, no,
there's a lot Arabic language is a very very vast language. The second answer and this is what it
		

			more I should have said is that and of course, others mentioned as well. I should have said this is
the strong answer. Is that the word in not it actually means yes. Okay. There is among the usages of
the word inna is is to simply mean yes. So when Allah subhana wa Tada says ka LW in they said in NA
EES ha Nila saffron definitely over shorty these people happen to be these two people happen to be
magicians so in simply Yes. Just as you say Nam. There is another way of saying no, I'm just as you
say again, which is another way of saying yes, in Arabic there is another way of saying yes which is
inner
		

			that is not again the famous meaning but again Arabic language is so vast that not everybody knows
that the all the different meanings, so you have to be a proper lexicographer in order for you to
know these different dialects or different meanings and so on and so forth. Babu in her Danita
Saharan. You read on a ukulele Jack Coleman only conversationally him while he asked her who the
Atlantic woman was.
		

			Indeed, these two happen to be Sahana they happen to be two magicians UD Danny a yo, yo Khadija calm
they wish to drive you out of your land with their with their magic, we yet have the ability to
commune with law. And also they wish to read you have your exemplary path and exemplary style or
exemplary lifestyle for educators who pay their consumer to suffer. So now for our answers to them.
So get yourselves together for me. Okay, you can literally get yourself together, get your plots
together, get your, you know, weapons together and their weapons or they're simply their stuffs
right? Get them together some metal suffer and then go before him soften, go before him in rows.
		

			Okay? Historically, and in modern day, people who wish to simply deceive other people. One of the
means that they use is presentation, okay? Evil sometimes today is presented in the best of ways
were good as presented in the worst of ways I ask Allah to get renters Autofit to present good and
also the best of ways, right? So they are now looking into presentations. So they're like, Okay, now
we're gonna stand in rows. Remember, we said there are a lot of people, some estimates low estimates
have 7080 people, high estimates go all the way up to 900,000 people. Now it couldn't be that
900,000 was inclusive of also the attendees. We don't know but anyways, what we know is it was the
		

			OMA Xena, it was the day of beauty and this was a very, very attended event. So he if around, told
them now gather. Go ahead and stand one line after another line after another line after another
line. So it looks like you're literally like an army of magicians and there's just two people on the
other end. What the eff law Hello ma'am and Mr. Allah and whoever is able to prevail today. That
person is going to be the winner. That person is going to definitely succeed. Father, they said Ya
Musa Oh Musa, ima and Tullia we're in an akuna a Willem and they said, Oh Musa, either you throw the
staff you throw it or we
		

			we become the first ones who throw the staff as well. Okay, so now they're telling Musa Oh Musa
either you take your stuff and you check it. So you start the competition or the Challenger, so on
and so forth, or we will start the challenge and we will start the competition right? Or the
challenge rather, on our level. Musa alayhis salam said rather rather you should go ahead and start
this particular show you should be starting the championship challenge I will wait until you're done
because there's a lot of them so they go ahead and throw their a baldy they throw their ropes and
they throw their ice they throw their you know, their staffs and sticks and so on and so forth. And
		

			when they started throwing their ropes in their staffs and Allah subhanaw taala said, you know, II
mean 70 him and notice from the magic from the sleight of hand that they did from there, whatever
they had done, right, whatever form of magic it was, what happened is, this particular all of these
stops, and all of these all of these
		

			ropes, they started moving in a way that it looked as if they are actually snakes. So Allah subhanaw
taala said it appeared you have a yellow Elaine. So it wasn't real magic Allah saying you have a
yellow delay, it appeared that way. It appeared as if they are actually moving and Nahata saw that
they're actually moving forward and going around and so on and so forth. But it was simply an
appearance, it was simply sleight of hand it wasn't real transformation of a stick because that
happens by the Leave of Allah, Allah.
		

			Allah continuous and explains now the state of Musa alayhis salam, when he sees the sticks and ropes
suddenly transforming apparently, apparently into snakes, and it appears to the rest of the crowd as
well that they've now turned into snakes. Remember, if we go earlier, and we read, For our own
simply said fella, that the NACA, the sacred mystery we will bring to you. So we will bring to you a
magic that happens to be the same as as yours as well, right? So if there's snakes appear to the
people, if they're
		

			their staffs, and their ropes appear to the people as if they're snakes, and they appear, like
they're moving as well, just as this, the staff of Musa alayhis salam will do, right, then obviously
for their own has fulfilled whatever he said he was going to do, right? Because he was able to
fulfill the challenge that was will bring the same sort of magic as yourself, right.
		

			And you think that that magic is a reason for us to believe in you but the answer, but the reality
is, it's not enough of a reason for us to believe because we can do the same thing. Right, even
though as I said, it's simply appeared that way. So because of this disappearance, Musa alayhis
salam became a little bit of fear, afraid internally, not externally. And that's a very important
factor that Oh, desperate has, he felt in himself, Allah subhanaw taala said, he started feeling
inside of himself enough, see, internally, not externally. Sometimes when you're in this situation,
you might feel a little bit weak, a little bit one ruble, but you have to not allow the fear to be
		

			apparent to people as well. Right? You may feel internally a little bit fearful. Now Musa alayhis
salam is not afraid of Pharaoh own because this is a messenger messengers are not afraid of doing
anything for the sake of Allah subhana wa Tada. He's not afraid of any of that what he's afraid of.
And I'll show you the proof of this as well. What is afraid of is he's afraid that the people who
see the apparent magic that these magicians are doing again in front of in the challenge in front of
Musa alayhis salaam, their snakes are turning also into their staffs are also turning into snakes
and their ropes are also turning into snakes. So it may appear to them that Musa alayhis salam and
		

			the magician's are equivalent. So that's what he's afraid of. And what's the result of that? What
What's the consequence of that? What's the consequence of that? The consequence of that is that
people will then not believe in Musa alayhis salam, and they will not believe in how do we not
listen? And they'll say, You guys are the same as the magician, right? So that's where he's afraid.
		

			And not that fear I will do something to him or that fear I will overcome him or that that is not
what's what's occupying the mind of Musab a thief and he had a state of fear, okay. He felt is a
state of fear without Latin, the Martin K Jelsa with fear Latin, you hate it in Kinshasa, fear
Allah, anything that comes on the word on the form of the word fear Allah, it is to show the state
so he had an internal state of fear a thief who didn't now we said, latter half don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid to Allah can notice that even if he doesn't let it be external. Remember, it's
internal, because I will just say journal enough. See, he's also internal right inside of himself
		

			and not externally. So Allah subhanaw taala saw the internal feeling fear as well, even though you
didn't let it become apparent until now. We said latter half in NACA and Allah, don't be afraid,
because you will prevail and they will not prevail, you will be above them, you will be prevalent,
and they will not be prevalent. So you can see that he's simply afraid of them prevailing in the
challenge, which was that we will bring a magic similar to your magic and then if they did that they
would simply prevail in the challenge, right? Because he was using that map that appearance, magic,
what appeared to be magic. It was a miracle from Allah azza wa jal, he was using that as a proof for
		

			his prophethood and his message, but now they're bringing the same thing. So how can he be truthful
in the claim that he's making? So Allah subhanaw taala said, don't worry, you will definitely
prevail. I ask Allah subhanaw taala to allow us to take lesson from the guidances within the book of
Allah or Buddha is at will July and I asked Allah subhanaw taala to allow us to have a heart which
is not afraid of the people, but he's, it's afraid for the people because the fear that Musa Ali
Saddam had was for the people and not afraid of the people here
		

			got afraid of Iran when he was not afraid that the magician's are going to do something to him. He
wasn't afraid that the crowds are going to start going into uproar. He was afraid for the people
that if things go south, then all these people who I thought could believe they're not going to
believe, right? So I asked Allah subhanaw taala to grant us fear only of him. And if there's fear
that we have in our interactions with people that happens to be for their sake and not from them, I
mean, that'll be a major attack on the low hanging fruit listening, or SallAllahu ala Sayidina.
Muhammad Ali, he was like big money.
