All praise are due to Allah, our Lord

00:04:54 --> 00:04:55

of the worlds,

00:04:55 --> 00:04:58

and peace and blessings be constantly showered upon

00:04:58 --> 00:05:00

our beloved prophet Muhammad, the master of the

00:05:00 --> 00:05:01

first and the last,

00:05:01 --> 00:05:04

his family, his companions, and all those who

00:05:04 --> 00:05:07

call to his way and establish his sunnah

00:05:07 --> 00:05:08

to the day of judgment.

00:05:09 --> 00:05:11

As to what fell as to what follows,

00:05:11 --> 00:05:12

my beloved brothers and sisters,

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

to our friends and viewers, assalamu alaikum,

00:05:17 --> 00:05:18

Alhamdulillah,

00:05:18 --> 00:05:19

this is a continuation

00:05:20 --> 00:05:22

of our new Muslim Corner.

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

And the intention of this gathering

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28

is to be a place where people who

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

have recently embraced Islam,

00:05:31 --> 00:05:32

can come

00:05:32 --> 00:05:35

and ask questions and feel at home,

00:05:35 --> 00:05:37

and make this transition.

00:05:38 --> 00:05:40

Because Islam is a way of life. This

00:05:40 --> 00:05:41

is not

00:05:41 --> 00:05:42

just a theoretical

00:05:43 --> 00:05:45

change, but it is a way of life.

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48

And because Muslims come from so many parts

00:05:48 --> 00:05:49

of the world,

00:05:50 --> 00:05:51

speak so many languages,

00:05:52 --> 00:05:53

There are a lot of different cultures,

00:05:54 --> 00:05:55

Muslim cultures.

00:05:56 --> 00:05:58

So sometimes we meet Muslims, and

00:05:59 --> 00:06:01

we are caught up within their culture.

00:06:02 --> 00:06:05

And we don't realize that there's a difference

00:06:05 --> 00:06:07

between their culture and Islam.

00:06:08 --> 00:06:10

And it's usually not a negative thing. Most

00:06:10 --> 00:06:11

of the Muslim

00:06:12 --> 00:06:12

peoples,

00:06:12 --> 00:06:16

their cultures are 80 to 90% Islamic.

00:06:17 --> 00:06:19

But sometimes there are things that are different.

00:06:20 --> 00:06:22

When I embraced Islam many years ago,

00:06:23 --> 00:06:26

I, you know, was fortunate to meet

00:06:26 --> 00:06:28

really nice brothers and sisters.

00:06:29 --> 00:06:30

And when we would eat,

00:06:31 --> 00:06:33

you know, and they would share the food,

00:06:34 --> 00:06:37

and I realized that I was told about

00:06:37 --> 00:06:38

halal food,

00:06:38 --> 00:06:38

permissible

00:06:39 --> 00:06:41

food. And after a while, I thought that,

00:06:41 --> 00:06:42

halal food,

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45

had all all of it had pepper in

00:06:45 --> 00:06:45

it

00:06:46 --> 00:06:48

because every time I ate it had was

00:06:48 --> 00:06:48

hot.

00:06:50 --> 00:06:52

But then I met some Muslims from Bosnia

00:06:52 --> 00:06:54

and Syria and other places and they don't

00:06:54 --> 00:06:54

like,

00:06:54 --> 00:06:55

spices.

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

So I realized there's a difference between,

00:06:59 --> 00:07:00

Bosnian food

00:07:01 --> 00:07:02

and, East,

00:07:02 --> 00:07:04

South Indian food.

00:07:04 --> 00:07:07

There's a difference. That's a cultural difference,

00:07:07 --> 00:07:10

but halal is the way you sacrifice the

00:07:10 --> 00:07:13

meat, and in the name of God, That's

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

what makes it halal. It's not the pepper.

00:07:16 --> 00:07:19

So one is Islam and one is culture,

00:07:19 --> 00:07:22

but sometimes the 2 get mixed up. And

00:07:22 --> 00:07:23

so the intent of this class

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26

is to really, clear up

00:07:26 --> 00:07:27

misunderstandings

00:07:28 --> 00:07:30

and also to help the new Muslims to

00:07:30 --> 00:07:31

to get a strong foundation,

00:07:32 --> 00:07:33

in their faith.

00:07:34 --> 00:07:35

And,

00:07:37 --> 00:07:40

we have been looking at over the past

00:07:40 --> 00:07:40

year,

00:07:41 --> 00:07:43

we've been looking at the kalima, what is

00:07:43 --> 00:07:44

called the kalima,

00:07:45 --> 00:07:46

the shahada,

00:07:46 --> 00:07:47

the basic

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50

sentence that puts you into Islam and that

00:07:50 --> 00:07:51

is La ilaha illallah

00:07:51 --> 00:07:53

Muhammadur Rasool Allah sallallahu sallallahu sallallahu sallallahu sallallahu

00:07:53 --> 00:07:55

sallallahu sallallahu. There is no God but Allah

00:07:55 --> 00:07:58

and Muhammad is his messenger, peace be upon

00:07:58 --> 00:08:00

him. That is the beginning of the road.

00:08:00 --> 00:08:02

So when a person says this

00:08:02 --> 00:08:03

with sincerity,

00:08:04 --> 00:08:05

they have entered into Islam.

00:08:06 --> 00:08:08

And it is hope it is the prayer

00:08:09 --> 00:08:11

and hope of all Muslims that that would

00:08:11 --> 00:08:13

also be the last word they say.

00:08:14 --> 00:08:15

So this is an important

00:08:16 --> 00:08:18

understanding. It's the beginning of the road,

00:08:19 --> 00:08:21

and hopefully, it's the end of the road.

00:08:21 --> 00:08:23

So we need to understand

00:08:24 --> 00:08:24

properly

00:08:24 --> 00:08:25

what that is.

00:08:26 --> 00:08:28

We looked at the oneness of Allah in

00:08:28 --> 00:08:29

the different dimensions.

00:08:30 --> 00:08:33

Not in this theoretical sense, but really

00:08:33 --> 00:08:35

that Allah is the Lord,

00:08:35 --> 00:08:38

the Sustainer of all there is nothing similar

00:08:38 --> 00:08:38

to Allah.

00:08:39 --> 00:08:41

So we looked at that in detail

00:08:41 --> 00:08:42

and

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44

that is something for most people in most

00:08:44 --> 00:08:46

cultures is easy to get across.

00:08:48 --> 00:08:50

Because with a little bit of understanding we

00:08:50 --> 00:08:51

can see

00:08:51 --> 00:08:53

that there is a creator.

00:08:53 --> 00:08:56

That there are things in the universe beyond

00:08:56 --> 00:08:56

our control.

00:08:57 --> 00:08:59

Also, there is death.

00:08:59 --> 00:09:02

Life and death is constantly happening.

00:09:02 --> 00:09:04

Where do we come from, and where do

00:09:04 --> 00:09:05

we go to?

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08

So these are questions that all human beings

00:09:08 --> 00:09:09

ask.

00:09:09 --> 00:09:12

And so the understanding of the creator

00:09:13 --> 00:09:14

is something which is

00:09:15 --> 00:09:15

natural

00:09:17 --> 00:09:17

for people.

00:09:19 --> 00:09:19

And

00:09:20 --> 00:09:22

we looked at that

00:09:22 --> 00:09:24

for a number of sessions.

00:09:24 --> 00:09:26

The second part of the kalimah,

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29

Mohammed Arasool Allah, that

00:09:30 --> 00:09:31

Mohammed ibn Abdullah

00:09:32 --> 00:09:35

who lived 1400 years ago that he is

00:09:35 --> 00:09:37

the messenger of Allah,

00:09:37 --> 00:09:40

that one is a little more difficult for

00:09:40 --> 00:09:40

people.

00:09:41 --> 00:09:43

Because in many cultures,

00:09:44 --> 00:09:45

people are not aware

00:09:46 --> 00:09:46

of who,

00:09:47 --> 00:09:48

Muhammad is.

00:09:49 --> 00:09:50

And it's not anybody's fault, it is how

00:09:50 --> 00:09:52

the cultures are set up. Today we have

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

propaganda, and we also have control of information.

00:09:59 --> 00:10:01

We have distortion of information.

00:10:01 --> 00:10:03

And so it's it's it's not the fault

00:10:03 --> 00:10:05

of anybody that they don't understand this.

00:10:06 --> 00:10:07

And so

00:10:07 --> 00:10:08

it's important

00:10:08 --> 00:10:09

in the beginning,

00:10:10 --> 00:10:13

even before a person accepts Islam, they should

00:10:13 --> 00:10:13

have

00:10:14 --> 00:10:15

some understanding of who,

00:10:16 --> 00:10:18

the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is.

00:10:19 --> 00:10:21

And the more we understand who he is

00:10:21 --> 00:10:22

and what he brought,

00:10:22 --> 00:10:25

actually is the stronger our faith,

00:10:25 --> 00:10:26

will be.

00:10:27 --> 00:10:27

So

00:10:28 --> 00:10:29

we want to look

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32

at certain aspects of his life,

00:10:32 --> 00:10:34

And we are going through his life, the

00:10:34 --> 00:10:35

background

00:10:36 --> 00:10:37

in the Arabian Peninsula.

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40

This is 1400 years ago plus.

00:10:41 --> 00:10:43

The great empires of Persia and Rome

00:10:44 --> 00:10:45

and Ethiopia.

00:10:46 --> 00:10:48

The world was different than it is today.

00:10:49 --> 00:10:53

And so within that understanding, within that world,

00:10:54 --> 00:10:55

we looked at

00:10:55 --> 00:10:58

Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, who was

00:10:58 --> 00:11:00

a descendant of Abraham,

00:11:00 --> 00:11:01

as we understood,

00:11:02 --> 00:11:04

from the side of his wife, Hajjah.

00:11:05 --> 00:11:07

Now again, this is a formula

00:11:07 --> 00:11:09

that many people are not aware of.

00:11:10 --> 00:11:12

And I stress it because it's a shock,

00:11:13 --> 00:11:14

for many of the people of the book,

00:11:14 --> 00:11:16

the Christians and the Jews. And that is

00:11:16 --> 00:11:19

that Abraham, we say Ibrahim alaihi salam,

00:11:20 --> 00:11:22

who came from Iraq, Tigris, Euphrates,

00:11:23 --> 00:11:25

and his wife's name was Sarah.

00:11:27 --> 00:11:28

And they

00:11:29 --> 00:11:29

left

00:11:29 --> 00:11:30

their land.

00:11:31 --> 00:11:32

Ibrahim was a monotheist.

00:11:34 --> 00:11:36

His father was an idol maker.

00:11:36 --> 00:11:38

So he was forced to leave, and he

00:11:38 --> 00:11:40

left with Sarah, and they ended up in

00:11:40 --> 00:11:40

Egypt.

00:11:41 --> 00:11:42

And there, he was given,

00:11:43 --> 00:11:44

a servant

00:11:44 --> 00:11:46

by the ruling class who had actually

00:11:47 --> 00:11:49

come from Iraq as well.

00:11:49 --> 00:11:51

They had recently taken over the country, the

00:11:51 --> 00:11:52

Hyksos.

00:11:53 --> 00:11:54

But he received,

00:11:54 --> 00:11:56

a servant woman

00:11:57 --> 00:11:58

whose name was Hajar.

00:11:59 --> 00:12:01

May Allah be pleased with her. And some

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03

say she was an Egyptian princess

00:12:04 --> 00:12:07

because the Egyptians were African people living on

00:12:07 --> 00:12:07

the Nile.

00:12:09 --> 00:12:09

And so

00:12:10 --> 00:12:11

as we had learned,

00:12:12 --> 00:12:13

when Sarah

00:12:14 --> 00:12:16

was not bearing children,

00:12:16 --> 00:12:18

she said to Ibrahim,

00:12:19 --> 00:12:20

take

00:12:20 --> 00:12:21

Hajar

00:12:21 --> 00:12:22

Bible in Genesis,

00:12:29 --> 00:12:30

I believe it was 16/16.

00:12:30 --> 00:12:33

I can get you the exact verse. But

00:12:33 --> 00:12:33

in Genesis,

00:12:34 --> 00:12:35

that is found

00:12:37 --> 00:12:38

that,

00:12:38 --> 00:12:40

Ibrahim took her as a wife,

00:12:41 --> 00:12:43

not a concubine or a slave,

00:12:44 --> 00:12:46

but as a wife. And she conceived,

00:12:47 --> 00:12:48

Ishmael.

00:12:48 --> 00:12:50

So the first son

00:12:50 --> 00:12:51

of Ibrahim

00:12:53 --> 00:12:55

was Ishmael. We would say Ishmael

00:12:55 --> 00:12:56

alaihi salam.

00:12:58 --> 00:12:59

Later on, Sarah,

00:13:00 --> 00:13:01

on the other side,

00:13:02 --> 00:13:04

she had children. She had Isaac,

00:13:05 --> 00:13:05

Ishak.

00:13:07 --> 00:13:09

And from Ishak came Jacob,

00:13:10 --> 00:13:11

in Arabic, Yaqoob.

00:13:12 --> 00:13:14

His nickname was, Israel.

00:13:14 --> 00:13:17

You say Israel. That's where the name Israel

00:13:17 --> 00:13:19

comes from. That's so controversial

00:13:19 --> 00:13:20

today.

00:13:20 --> 00:13:22

But Israel is the one who wrestled with

00:13:22 --> 00:13:24

God. The children of Israel were the 12

00:13:24 --> 00:13:26

sons of Jacob.

00:13:27 --> 00:13:30

So they make up the children of Israel.

00:13:31 --> 00:13:32

Okay. And from their lineage

00:13:33 --> 00:13:34

came Moses

00:13:34 --> 00:13:35

and then Jesus.

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

So on that side of the family,

00:13:39 --> 00:13:41

it's well known in the Western world.

00:13:42 --> 00:13:43

The other side

00:13:44 --> 00:13:45

is not so well known.

00:13:46 --> 00:13:49

And according to our traditions and even what

00:13:49 --> 00:13:50

is mentioned in in Psalms

00:13:51 --> 00:13:53

that Ibrahim and Ishmael and Hajar, they went

00:13:53 --> 00:13:56

to a desolate valley. Psalms. I can go

00:13:56 --> 00:13:58

back, since there's some people who are new,

00:14:02 --> 00:14:04

and to try to, even let you see

00:14:04 --> 00:14:05

the exact verses.

00:14:06 --> 00:14:07

But they,

00:14:08 --> 00:14:10

yeah. So this is in Psalms

00:14:10 --> 00:14:11

84

00:14:12 --> 00:14:13

6.

00:14:14 --> 00:14:14

So

00:14:15 --> 00:14:17

the first verse, Genesis,

00:14:18 --> 00:14:19

where Sarah said take

00:14:22 --> 00:14:24

Hajar as your wife, that's Genesis 16:3.

00:14:26 --> 00:14:27

So for those who come out to Christian

00:14:27 --> 00:14:28

tradition

00:14:29 --> 00:14:31

Some people say, well, where does this understanding

00:14:31 --> 00:14:33

of Muhammad and where does it come from?

00:14:33 --> 00:14:34

This is the Bible, right?

00:14:36 --> 00:14:37

Having the son

00:14:38 --> 00:14:39

is Genesis 16:16.

00:14:41 --> 00:14:42

And later on,

00:14:44 --> 00:14:45

Ibrahim and,

00:14:47 --> 00:14:48

his son and his wife, they went to

00:14:48 --> 00:14:50

a desolate valley called Becca,

00:14:51 --> 00:14:53

the valley of Becca.

00:14:54 --> 00:14:56

And that is mentioned in the Quran as

00:14:56 --> 00:14:58

well using the name Becca too,

00:14:59 --> 00:15:01

which later became pronounced as Mecca.

00:15:02 --> 00:15:04

So they went to this valley which was,

00:15:05 --> 00:15:08

became famous because of the springs, the water

00:15:08 --> 00:15:10

that was coming out of it. Even the

00:15:10 --> 00:15:12

Bible mentions there's a lot of water springs

00:15:12 --> 00:15:14

flowing in there in Becca.

00:15:15 --> 00:15:16

And

00:15:17 --> 00:15:19

so looking at this chart again,

00:15:19 --> 00:15:21

which is very important chart, you know, to

00:15:21 --> 00:15:22

look at,

00:15:23 --> 00:15:24

according to the DNA

00:15:26 --> 00:15:26

of

00:15:27 --> 00:15:27

Moses,

00:15:28 --> 00:15:29

Jesus,

00:15:30 --> 00:15:31

and Muhammad,

00:15:31 --> 00:15:32

they're cousins.

00:15:34 --> 00:15:36

They have the same DNA flowing in their

00:15:36 --> 00:15:36

body.

00:15:37 --> 00:15:39

And this is a shock for a lot

00:15:39 --> 00:15:39

of people

00:15:40 --> 00:15:41

who look at the polarization

00:15:41 --> 00:15:42

of,

00:15:43 --> 00:15:45

so called Christians and you know Muslims and

00:15:45 --> 00:15:46

whatever and Jews,

00:15:47 --> 00:15:48

it's a shock.

00:15:48 --> 00:15:50

But they're actually from the same family.

00:15:51 --> 00:15:53

And if you look at the teachings of

00:15:53 --> 00:15:54

the oneness of god,

00:15:55 --> 00:15:57

we see that they're the same as well.

00:15:59 --> 00:15:59

So

00:16:00 --> 00:16:03

this individual this is an important point, Because

00:16:07 --> 00:16:07

the

00:16:11 --> 00:16:14

because the first question is who is Muhammad?

00:16:14 --> 00:16:16

How am I gonna accept this person as

00:16:16 --> 00:16:17

the messenger of God?

00:16:18 --> 00:16:20

They may have accepted before

00:16:20 --> 00:16:22

Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Jesus.

00:16:24 --> 00:16:26

How can I accept him? Number 1, in

00:16:26 --> 00:16:26

terms of lineage,

00:16:27 --> 00:16:29

in terms of family,

00:16:30 --> 00:16:31

it's coming from the same

00:16:32 --> 00:16:32

root.

00:16:33 --> 00:16:35

And in terms of teaching,

00:16:35 --> 00:16:36

as we will see,

00:16:37 --> 00:16:39

there is also similarity.

00:16:40 --> 00:16:41

So we are looking at the life,

00:16:43 --> 00:16:46

of, prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.

00:16:46 --> 00:16:47

And we reached

00:16:48 --> 00:16:50

his 40th year.

00:16:51 --> 00:16:52

And at 40,

00:16:53 --> 00:16:54

he

00:16:54 --> 00:16:57

was known to be a person who was

00:16:57 --> 00:16:58

Al Amin,

00:16:59 --> 00:17:00

truthful and trustworthy.

00:17:02 --> 00:17:04

And even though he was not

00:17:04 --> 00:17:06

openly a Muslim at the time, not a

00:17:06 --> 00:17:06

prophet,

00:17:07 --> 00:17:09

but he was known to be a truthful

00:17:09 --> 00:17:10

and trustworthy person.

00:17:12 --> 00:17:14

And at 40 years, which is a key

00:17:14 --> 00:17:14

point,

00:17:15 --> 00:17:16

and we are taught in our traditions that

00:17:16 --> 00:17:17

the prophets,

00:17:18 --> 00:17:19

basically

00:17:19 --> 00:17:20

get their revelation,

00:17:32 --> 00:17:33

And so it was at 40

00:17:34 --> 00:17:35

that,

00:17:35 --> 00:17:38

prophet Mohammed used to go out and

00:17:38 --> 00:17:39

meditate.

00:17:40 --> 00:17:41

So this meditation,

00:17:42 --> 00:17:44

he wanted to get away from the city.

00:17:44 --> 00:17:46

Because in the city, there's a lot of

00:17:46 --> 00:17:48

hustle and bustle and all kinds of things

00:17:48 --> 00:17:49

happen in cities.

00:17:50 --> 00:17:52

So he wanted to get spirituality

00:17:52 --> 00:17:53

to understand

00:17:55 --> 00:17:57

his relationship with the creator.

00:17:58 --> 00:17:59

So he went outside of Mecca,

00:18:00 --> 00:18:01

very desolate,

00:18:02 --> 00:18:03

place.

00:18:03 --> 00:18:06

And there he climbed, the mountain of light,

00:18:06 --> 00:18:07

which is called,

00:18:07 --> 00:18:09

and he he would

00:18:09 --> 00:18:11

rest in a cave,

00:18:12 --> 00:18:14

Var Hira. So this is an actual picture

00:18:15 --> 00:18:17

of what is left of the cave.

00:18:18 --> 00:18:19

If you get a chance to go to

00:18:19 --> 00:18:20

Mecca

00:18:20 --> 00:18:22

and you still have a hiking spirit,

00:18:23 --> 00:18:24

you're a mountain climber,

00:18:24 --> 00:18:27

or you have that zeal, you can climb

00:18:28 --> 00:18:30

here and you can go in the cave.

00:18:30 --> 00:18:31

So you can see this is what caves

00:18:31 --> 00:18:34

are not like. Caves are not nicely shaped,

00:18:35 --> 00:18:37

places that you go inside like it's a

00:18:37 --> 00:18:37

hotel.

00:18:38 --> 00:18:39

No. This is a cave.

00:18:40 --> 00:18:42

So you have to crawl inside of here.

00:18:43 --> 00:18:45

And literally when you get inside,

00:18:46 --> 00:18:47

you will be claustrophobic

00:18:48 --> 00:18:50

if you're a person who's not used to

00:18:50 --> 00:18:51

being in tight spaces.

00:18:52 --> 00:18:53

So this is where he would be and

00:18:53 --> 00:18:55

come out to the on the ledge.

00:18:55 --> 00:18:57

And when he's on the ledge, you're looking

00:18:57 --> 00:18:58

at the panorama.

00:18:59 --> 00:19:00

The sky is there

00:19:01 --> 00:19:04

and it's usually clear because it's not so

00:19:04 --> 00:19:04

cloudy.

00:19:05 --> 00:19:07

In the desert region, the stars are there

00:19:07 --> 00:19:08

at night.

00:19:09 --> 00:19:10

Okay, you're outside the city.

00:19:11 --> 00:19:11

And

00:19:12 --> 00:19:13

he would meditate.

00:19:14 --> 00:19:14

And

00:19:15 --> 00:19:17

in Mecca at the time, there were other

00:19:17 --> 00:19:19

people who were also meditating and pondering

00:19:20 --> 00:19:23

the oneness of God. So these people are

00:19:23 --> 00:19:24

called Hanif.

00:19:25 --> 00:19:28

So the word Hanif means they were pure,

00:19:29 --> 00:19:31

people, pure believers in one God.

00:19:32 --> 00:19:33

Okay? The Hoonafa.

00:19:34 --> 00:19:34

And

00:19:37 --> 00:19:38

amongst them,

00:19:39 --> 00:19:41

we'll hear about him later, Warakah bin Nofa,

00:19:42 --> 00:19:45

was a famous person who believed in 1

00:19:45 --> 00:19:45

God.

00:19:46 --> 00:19:48

There was another person that obeyed the law

00:19:49 --> 00:19:50

as well.

00:19:51 --> 00:19:53

1 named Earthman, not Earthman,

00:19:54 --> 00:19:55

but another Earthman, and

00:19:56 --> 00:19:57

and one named Zayd

00:19:58 --> 00:19:59

who was also

00:20:00 --> 00:20:02

known as a sincere believer. So these were

00:20:02 --> 00:20:04

some of the people who were known. Generally

00:20:04 --> 00:20:04

speaking,

00:20:05 --> 00:20:07

the the the Hanif people had to hide

00:20:07 --> 00:20:08

their identity.

00:20:09 --> 00:20:10

Because

00:20:10 --> 00:20:12

the pagans in Mecca

00:20:12 --> 00:20:14

were actually extremely violent

00:20:15 --> 00:20:16

people,

00:20:17 --> 00:20:18

violently protecting,

00:20:18 --> 00:20:21

you know, their belief and protecting their way

00:20:21 --> 00:20:21

of life.

00:20:22 --> 00:20:24

So but this is what comes to us

00:20:24 --> 00:20:25

in the traditions.

00:20:26 --> 00:20:27

So, it was,

00:20:28 --> 00:20:29

in the 27th

00:20:29 --> 00:20:30

night

00:20:31 --> 00:20:33

in the month of Ramadan,

00:20:35 --> 00:20:35

that,

00:20:36 --> 00:20:38

the prophet was there at the time he

00:20:38 --> 00:20:41

wasn't a prophet, just a person who's meditating.

00:20:41 --> 00:20:41

And

00:20:43 --> 00:20:44

a force came to him,

00:20:46 --> 00:20:47

and he was

00:20:48 --> 00:20:51

grabbed. He felt something holding him and sort

00:20:51 --> 00:20:52

of smothering him.

00:20:53 --> 00:20:55

And it said to him, Iqra.

00:20:56 --> 00:20:57

It said, read.

00:20:59 --> 00:21:01

And so the prophet said to him, Ma'ana

00:21:01 --> 00:21:02

biqadi.

00:21:03 --> 00:21:06

I am not one who reads.

00:21:07 --> 00:21:08

So at that time,

00:21:09 --> 00:21:10

the culture,

00:21:11 --> 00:21:12

it was an oral culture.

00:21:13 --> 00:21:16

So they transmit their their their knowledge to

00:21:16 --> 00:21:19

Arabs at that time, generally through poetry, and

00:21:19 --> 00:21:21

it's it's an oral culture. And oral

00:21:21 --> 00:21:23

oral literature is accepted

00:21:24 --> 00:21:24

today

00:21:25 --> 00:21:26

as a valid,

00:21:27 --> 00:21:28

source of knowledge.

00:21:30 --> 00:21:31

Okay? So it was an oral culture, but

00:21:31 --> 00:21:33

there were some people who could write and

00:21:35 --> 00:21:36

writing was coming in

00:21:38 --> 00:21:38

into the

00:21:39 --> 00:21:40

Semitic language

00:21:40 --> 00:21:41

of Arabic.

00:21:42 --> 00:21:44

And remember the Semitic languages included

00:21:44 --> 00:21:47

Hebrew, Amharic, and Ethiopia, Aramaic.

00:21:47 --> 00:21:49

There's a number of Semitic languages.

00:21:50 --> 00:21:51

And Arabic was,

00:21:52 --> 00:21:53

one of the most powerful,

00:21:54 --> 00:21:55

of the Semitic languages.

00:21:59 --> 00:21:59

And

00:22:03 --> 00:22:06

Created man from a single clot of blood

00:22:07 --> 00:22:07

and

00:22:08 --> 00:22:10

taught man with the pen, taught him what

00:22:10 --> 00:22:12

he did he did not know.

00:22:12 --> 00:22:14

And so this happened,

00:22:14 --> 00:22:15

3 times.

00:22:16 --> 00:22:17

And finally,

00:22:18 --> 00:22:19

the force

00:22:19 --> 00:22:20

left.

00:22:21 --> 00:22:22

We

00:22:22 --> 00:22:25

recognize it was an angel, and we learned

00:22:25 --> 00:22:27

before that angels are created from light.

00:22:28 --> 00:22:29

So they're not

00:22:30 --> 00:22:32

made from clay like human beings,

00:22:32 --> 00:22:34

but created from light. So

00:22:36 --> 00:22:38

the prophet at that time, you know, he

00:22:38 --> 00:22:38

was

00:22:39 --> 00:22:39

upset.

00:22:40 --> 00:22:41

Because these words

00:22:42 --> 00:22:43

that was said to him,

00:22:44 --> 00:22:47

it was like imprinted in his in his

00:22:47 --> 00:22:48

chest, in his heart.

00:22:49 --> 00:22:51

He couldn't forget these words.

00:22:52 --> 00:22:53

And he wasn't sure

00:22:54 --> 00:22:56

actually what had happened to him.

00:22:56 --> 00:22:59

So this is what is called the beginning

00:22:59 --> 00:23:00

of revelation.

00:23:01 --> 00:23:02

Again,

00:23:02 --> 00:23:04

the question is who is this man?

00:23:06 --> 00:23:08

Who is the person that you're accepting to

00:23:08 --> 00:23:10

be the messenger of God?

00:23:11 --> 00:23:12

That's not an easy thing.

00:23:13 --> 00:23:15

This is somebody who would be receiving revelation.

00:23:16 --> 00:23:18

Somebody in a tradition of the great prophets

00:23:18 --> 00:23:19

of the past.

00:23:20 --> 00:23:22

Somebody who is living the lifestyle, the basis

00:23:22 --> 00:23:23

of your lifestyle.

00:23:24 --> 00:23:27

Who is this individual and what actually happened

00:23:27 --> 00:23:28

to him

00:23:28 --> 00:23:29

so long ago?

00:23:30 --> 00:23:32

So the revelation or the wahi,

00:23:33 --> 00:23:33

it

00:23:35 --> 00:23:37

would come to him in different ways.

00:23:37 --> 00:23:40

And this revelation that we now call,

00:23:41 --> 00:23:42

Al Quran,

00:23:43 --> 00:23:44

this

00:23:44 --> 00:23:46

came over 23 year

00:23:46 --> 00:23:47

period. Now again,

00:23:48 --> 00:23:51

we believe that this the books,

00:23:51 --> 00:23:53

the revelation in a what we could call

00:23:53 --> 00:23:54

a book form,

00:23:55 --> 00:23:56

with there was the Torah

00:23:57 --> 00:23:59

given to Moses, the Psalms

00:23:59 --> 00:24:00

given to David.

00:24:01 --> 00:24:03

Okay. The injeel of the Gospels given to

00:24:03 --> 00:24:04

Jesus

00:24:05 --> 00:24:06

and and the Quran,

00:24:07 --> 00:24:09

given to Muhammad, peace be upon him. There's

00:24:09 --> 00:24:12

also some trace that there was, Asahifa

00:24:13 --> 00:24:13

scrolls

00:24:14 --> 00:24:15

given to Ibrahim,

00:24:16 --> 00:24:20

alayhis salaam. Okay. So this final form of

00:24:20 --> 00:24:21

the revelation

00:24:22 --> 00:24:23

This is the contact.

00:24:24 --> 00:24:26

We're talking about the Creator of the heavens

00:24:26 --> 00:24:27

and the earth

00:24:27 --> 00:24:28

who existed

00:24:28 --> 00:24:30

when there was nothing else.

00:24:31 --> 00:24:33

Now making contact.

00:24:34 --> 00:24:35

And the contact

00:24:35 --> 00:24:37

doesn't come directly from the creator who is

00:24:37 --> 00:24:39

above, we believe, 7 heavens,

00:24:40 --> 00:24:42

but through the power force, the angel.

00:24:43 --> 00:24:46

And Jibril, the angel Gabriel, was the same

00:24:46 --> 00:24:48

one that came to Moses and Jesus

00:24:48 --> 00:24:49

and all of the prophets.

00:24:50 --> 00:24:52

So the revelation would come

00:24:53 --> 00:24:54

as

00:24:54 --> 00:24:55

true visions,

00:24:56 --> 00:24:57

would come in his sleep sometimes.

00:24:59 --> 00:25:01

Sometimes it was cast into his heart,

00:25:02 --> 00:25:04

meaning his inner conscious

00:25:05 --> 00:25:05

consciousness.

00:25:07 --> 00:25:09

Sometime the angel would actually come in human

00:25:09 --> 00:25:10

form,

00:25:12 --> 00:25:14

and take the shape of a human being.

00:25:15 --> 00:25:17

Okay? And then transmit the information.

00:25:18 --> 00:25:19

Sometimes

00:25:19 --> 00:25:21

it was described by the prophet as like

00:25:21 --> 00:25:22

the tolling of bells.

00:25:24 --> 00:25:26

Like, these bells are coming, and he really

00:25:26 --> 00:25:28

starts sweating heavily.

00:25:28 --> 00:25:30

There's something heavily coming to him, and then

00:25:30 --> 00:25:31

he gets calm,

00:25:32 --> 00:25:33

and he reads.

00:25:34 --> 00:25:36

Okay? He reads what's coming to him.

00:25:37 --> 00:25:38

Right?

00:25:38 --> 00:25:41

And sometimes the angel took his his actual

00:25:41 --> 00:25:42

form, which we're not

00:25:43 --> 00:25:45

sure what it is, but he actually took

00:25:45 --> 00:25:47

his his his natural form. Okay?

00:25:48 --> 00:25:49

And,

00:25:49 --> 00:25:51

later on we'll see that there was a

00:25:51 --> 00:25:53

night when the prophet went on a

00:25:53 --> 00:25:55

night journey above

00:25:55 --> 00:25:57

the 7 heavens and there was revelation

00:26:03 --> 00:26:04

revelation would come.

00:26:05 --> 00:26:06

And so this is

00:26:07 --> 00:26:08

knowledge.

00:26:10 --> 00:26:12

This is Kalam Ullah. It's the words of

00:26:12 --> 00:26:13

Allah

00:26:14 --> 00:26:15

that is coming through

00:26:16 --> 00:26:16

this angel

00:26:17 --> 00:26:20

and it is expressed through the Arabic language.

00:26:21 --> 00:26:23

And it's interesting because animals

00:26:25 --> 00:26:25

have

00:26:26 --> 00:26:29

different type of senses, different than human beings.

00:26:30 --> 00:26:31

And you'll see that,

00:26:31 --> 00:26:34

all of the prophets were shepherds as we

00:26:34 --> 00:26:34

learned.

00:26:35 --> 00:26:37

And you'll see that animals have different understanding.

00:26:39 --> 00:26:41

They can sense certain things that people can't

00:26:41 --> 00:26:42

sense.

00:26:43 --> 00:26:45

It was said that in Southeast Asia,

00:26:46 --> 00:26:48

at the time of the tsunami,

00:26:49 --> 00:26:51

remember the big tsunami that hit?

00:26:51 --> 00:26:53

There, this wall of water that hit.

00:26:54 --> 00:26:56

At first at the beginning of the tsunami,

00:26:57 --> 00:26:58

the water went out.

00:27:00 --> 00:27:02

So then it goes out like a half

00:27:02 --> 00:27:04

a mile or a mile out and you

00:27:04 --> 00:27:06

see fish jumping around and whatever. And everybody

00:27:06 --> 00:27:07

wants to get a selfie,

00:27:08 --> 00:27:09

and they're all there taking pictures.

00:27:10 --> 00:27:12

And suddenly, you turn around, and there's a

00:27:12 --> 00:27:14

wall of water coming at you.

00:27:15 --> 00:27:16

So it sort of went out,

00:27:16 --> 00:27:18

and then it came in. When it started

00:27:18 --> 00:27:20

to go out, all of the animals

00:27:21 --> 00:27:22

started to go up.

00:27:22 --> 00:27:25

The animals ran up. This is actually a

00:27:25 --> 00:27:27

description of what happened in some of the

00:27:27 --> 00:27:27

islands.

00:27:28 --> 00:27:29

So they reached the highest point on the

00:27:29 --> 00:27:30

island. And the shepherds,

00:27:31 --> 00:27:33

people in touch with the animals, they went

00:27:33 --> 00:27:34

up there with the animals too.

00:27:35 --> 00:27:37

Right? And it turned out that they reached

00:27:37 --> 00:27:39

the point where the water didn't touch them.

00:27:40 --> 00:27:42

But people didn't have that sense.

00:27:43 --> 00:27:44

So animals have a lot of sense.

00:27:45 --> 00:27:46

Horses, camels,

00:27:47 --> 00:27:49

you get to know your your your animals.

00:27:49 --> 00:27:52

You'll see the sense that they actually have.

00:27:52 --> 00:27:53

And it is said

00:27:54 --> 00:27:55

on one occasion

00:27:55 --> 00:27:57

when the revelation came,

00:27:58 --> 00:27:59

his the camel

00:28:01 --> 00:28:03

and and camels are known to to carry

00:28:03 --> 00:28:04

heavy loads.

00:28:05 --> 00:28:06

But when it when the load is too

00:28:06 --> 00:28:07

heavy,

00:28:08 --> 00:28:10

the camel will then kneel down.

00:28:11 --> 00:28:12

It goes on its knees. It's not going

00:28:12 --> 00:28:13

to move.

00:28:14 --> 00:28:15

So now the person knows, Okay, I have

00:28:15 --> 00:28:16

to

00:28:16 --> 00:28:17

lighten this.

00:28:19 --> 00:28:21

Okay? So when the revelation came and it's

00:28:21 --> 00:28:23

only Muhammad on the camel,

00:28:24 --> 00:28:26

the camel started kneeling down.

00:28:27 --> 00:28:29

Because something heavy

00:28:30 --> 00:28:31

was coming on him.

00:28:32 --> 00:28:34

Right? An animal sensed

00:28:34 --> 00:28:36

how heavy this thing is.

00:28:36 --> 00:28:38

And the more you know about this revelation,

00:28:39 --> 00:28:42

the Quran is that you'll realize what this

00:28:42 --> 00:28:43

actually is.

00:28:44 --> 00:28:45

Because when we say,

00:28:45 --> 00:28:47

Muhammad Ar Rasulullah,

00:28:48 --> 00:28:51

that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

00:28:52 --> 00:28:53

A messenger

00:28:54 --> 00:28:56

is somebody who delivers like a mailman.

00:28:57 --> 00:28:59

So the messenger is delivering you,

00:28:59 --> 00:29:00

the mail.

00:29:01 --> 00:29:03

They didn't create the mail

00:29:04 --> 00:29:06

in the same way that that Muhammad himself

00:29:06 --> 00:29:08

he did not create the Quran itself.

00:29:09 --> 00:29:11

Although there are accusations

00:29:11 --> 00:29:12

saying that he did.

00:29:13 --> 00:29:15

And that maybe when he

00:29:16 --> 00:29:18

went heard these ringing bells, he's like a

00:29:18 --> 00:29:19

madman. Right?

00:29:20 --> 00:29:22

And he comes up with this poetry.

00:29:23 --> 00:29:26

Okay? So maybe that's what he did. And

00:29:26 --> 00:29:27

so the more you understand

00:29:28 --> 00:29:30

what the revelation was,

00:29:31 --> 00:29:32

then you realize

00:29:32 --> 00:29:34

this could not be

00:29:35 --> 00:29:37

something that an Arab 1400 years ago

00:29:38 --> 00:29:39

could actually

00:29:39 --> 00:29:40

produce.

00:29:41 --> 00:29:41

And

00:29:42 --> 00:29:43

we need to,

00:29:45 --> 00:29:46

understand this because

00:29:47 --> 00:29:48

a miracle

00:29:49 --> 00:29:49

in Arabic

00:29:50 --> 00:29:52

is called Morjaza.

00:29:53 --> 00:29:54

It's a Morjaza.

00:29:55 --> 00:29:57

So this is one definition is a marvelous

00:29:57 --> 00:29:57

event

00:29:58 --> 00:29:59

that occurred during

00:29:59 --> 00:30:00

due to supernatural

00:30:01 --> 00:30:01

forces,

00:30:02 --> 00:30:05

Right? It's not related to magic or witchcraft

00:30:05 --> 00:30:06

or deception.

00:30:07 --> 00:30:08

So it's something supernatural.

00:30:09 --> 00:30:10

This is the Morjiza,

00:30:11 --> 00:30:12

and the Morjiza comes,

00:30:13 --> 00:30:13

to the prophets.

00:30:15 --> 00:30:18

Another one is the acting, doing performance and

00:30:18 --> 00:30:19

formation of a matter

00:30:20 --> 00:30:22

beyond the scope of man's abilities

00:30:24 --> 00:30:26

and his way of understanding. Like this is

00:30:26 --> 00:30:26

like

00:30:26 --> 00:30:28

Ara's conception of remember Moses?

00:30:29 --> 00:30:29

Musa

00:30:30 --> 00:30:32

came to the water. Pharaoh was chasing him.

00:30:32 --> 00:30:34

Okay? And the water opens up.

00:30:34 --> 00:30:36

This is Marjaza

00:30:37 --> 00:30:38

beyond

00:30:39 --> 00:30:41

human beings. There's another thing called karama.

00:30:42 --> 00:30:44

Karama can happen to any human being.

00:30:45 --> 00:30:47

That's a miraculous thing. And you'll see sometimes

00:30:47 --> 00:30:48

the

00:30:49 --> 00:30:51

baby is, you know, underneath the car and

00:30:51 --> 00:30:53

the mother just picks the car up.

00:30:54 --> 00:30:57

Like things happen, you know, and people cannot

00:30:58 --> 00:31:00

explain what it is. That would be called

00:31:00 --> 00:31:02

karama, but it's not morejiza.

00:31:03 --> 00:31:05

The Morjiza is what comes to the Anbi'a,

00:31:06 --> 00:31:06

to the prophets.

00:31:07 --> 00:31:08

And

00:31:08 --> 00:31:09

as we discussed,

00:31:09 --> 00:31:11

Prophet Ibrahim

00:31:12 --> 00:31:13

when he,

00:31:15 --> 00:31:16

confessed his belief

00:31:16 --> 00:31:17

in 1 God

00:31:17 --> 00:31:18

and he,

00:31:19 --> 00:31:21

confronted the idol worship is he was thrown

00:31:21 --> 00:31:21

in a fire.

00:31:23 --> 00:31:25

Okay? And Allah made the fire cool and

00:31:25 --> 00:31:27

a source of peace for Ibrahim.

00:31:28 --> 00:31:29

Okay?

00:31:29 --> 00:31:31

And that's the Quran for those you're looking

00:31:31 --> 00:31:33

up in chapter 21,

00:31:33 --> 00:31:34

68-seventy.

00:31:36 --> 00:31:37

In the time of Moses

00:31:38 --> 00:31:38

Musa

00:31:40 --> 00:31:41

the pharaoh magicians

00:31:43 --> 00:31:43

could make this,

00:31:45 --> 00:31:45

deception

00:31:47 --> 00:31:49

throw their staffs and become snakes.

00:31:50 --> 00:31:52

Okay? They were powerful magicians

00:31:52 --> 00:31:54

at that time. And,

00:31:55 --> 00:31:56

Musa threw his staff,

00:31:57 --> 00:31:58

and it became a snake and ate up

00:31:58 --> 00:31:59

the other snakes.

00:32:00 --> 00:32:02

So this this is one of the miracles

00:32:03 --> 00:32:04

that came.

00:32:04 --> 00:32:06

Prophet Jesus, Esa

00:32:07 --> 00:32:08

at a time when magic

00:32:09 --> 00:32:11

was when medicine was at its height,

00:32:14 --> 00:32:15

Esa Jesus could,

00:32:16 --> 00:32:18

by the power of Allah, cure leprosy.

00:32:19 --> 00:32:20

It's a terrible disease.

00:32:21 --> 00:32:22

He could cure leprosy.

00:32:23 --> 00:32:25

He could heal the blind so blind could

00:32:25 --> 00:32:26

see.

00:32:27 --> 00:32:29

He would raise the dead.

00:32:30 --> 00:32:31

That's mourjisan,

00:32:32 --> 00:32:33

right? So these are miracles.

00:32:34 --> 00:32:37

So what is it in terms of,

00:32:37 --> 00:32:39

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him?

00:32:40 --> 00:32:42

What is his miracle?

00:32:43 --> 00:32:43

Okay.

00:32:44 --> 00:32:44

The miracle

00:32:45 --> 00:32:46

is the Quran itself.

00:32:48 --> 00:32:49

Although other things

00:32:51 --> 00:32:53

have happened to him

00:32:53 --> 00:32:55

There's other miracles that happened

00:32:56 --> 00:32:58

Something similar to the other prophets in terms

00:32:58 --> 00:33:00

of curing people and,

00:33:00 --> 00:33:01

feeding,

00:33:01 --> 00:33:03

large amounts of people like Jesus.

00:33:04 --> 00:33:06

There's a number of things, but the real

00:33:06 --> 00:33:08

miracle is the Quran itself.

00:33:10 --> 00:33:12

So how is this possible?

00:33:14 --> 00:33:15

The first thing is that the miracle of

00:33:15 --> 00:33:16

the Quran

00:33:17 --> 00:33:17

is

00:33:18 --> 00:33:19

in the Arabic language.

00:33:21 --> 00:33:22

So if you got a translation,

00:33:23 --> 00:33:25

you might have varying translations,

00:33:26 --> 00:33:28

but it's actually through Arabic

00:33:29 --> 00:33:32

that you would actually see the linguistic

00:33:32 --> 00:33:33

miracle

00:33:33 --> 00:33:35

of the Quran itself,

00:33:35 --> 00:33:39

because the Arabs were masters of their language

00:33:39 --> 00:33:40

at the time.

00:33:40 --> 00:33:42

It was the greatest thing that they had.

00:33:42 --> 00:33:45

And Arabic is one of the most expressive

00:33:45 --> 00:33:46

languages on Earth.

00:33:48 --> 00:33:50

And they were masters.

00:33:50 --> 00:33:51

They knew their language.

00:33:52 --> 00:33:54

And so people would

00:33:55 --> 00:33:57

listen to the Quran being read

00:34:00 --> 00:34:01

And they would accept Islam

00:34:03 --> 00:34:06

after they heard just one verse or one

00:34:06 --> 00:34:06

chapter.

00:34:14 --> 00:34:16

We have some good speakers. You can think

00:34:16 --> 00:34:17

of some great,

00:34:18 --> 00:34:20

speeches made by famous people,

00:34:21 --> 00:34:23

Or you have some singers or people who

00:34:23 --> 00:34:24

are good poets.

00:34:25 --> 00:34:27

But we don't have things that when you

00:34:27 --> 00:34:28

just listen to it,

00:34:29 --> 00:34:31

it is going to change your whole life.

00:34:31 --> 00:34:33

Like, this is something different.

00:34:34 --> 00:34:36

Because the Arabs were so much into their

00:34:36 --> 00:34:37

language

00:34:38 --> 00:34:39

that they knew

00:34:40 --> 00:34:41

when it was poetry,

00:34:42 --> 00:34:43

it had certain rhythm.

00:34:44 --> 00:34:44

That's poetry.

00:34:46 --> 00:34:47

And it was prose

00:34:48 --> 00:34:49

that was telling a story.

00:34:50 --> 00:34:53

Right? And the Quran came in rhymed

00:34:54 --> 00:34:55

prose.

00:34:56 --> 00:34:57

So it's telling a story

00:34:58 --> 00:35:00

in perfect rhythm.

00:35:01 --> 00:35:04

That was not possible in their language.

00:35:04 --> 00:35:06

And in the Quran itself

00:35:08 --> 00:35:10

Okay, in the second chapter, the Hef or

00:35:10 --> 00:35:11

the cow

00:35:11 --> 00:35:14

Verse 23 it says, If you are in

00:35:14 --> 00:35:16

doubt of what we have revealed to our

00:35:16 --> 00:35:16

messenger,

00:35:17 --> 00:35:19

then produce 1 chapter like it. Call upon

00:35:19 --> 00:35:21

all your helpers.

00:35:21 --> 00:35:23

Besides Allah, if you are truthful.

00:35:24 --> 00:35:25

This is a challenge.

00:35:27 --> 00:35:28

If you doubt this book,

00:35:30 --> 00:35:30

bring them!

00:35:31 --> 00:35:33

And up until now nobody's been able to

00:35:33 --> 00:35:34

do it!

00:35:36 --> 00:35:36

Another

00:35:37 --> 00:35:39

chapter and this is,

00:35:39 --> 00:35:41

chapter 52 verse 3334.

00:35:42 --> 00:35:45

Or do they say he, prophet Muhammad, has

00:35:45 --> 00:35:47

forged it? Meaning the Quran?

00:35:47 --> 00:35:50

Nay, they believe not. Let them produce a

00:35:50 --> 00:35:51

recitation

00:35:51 --> 00:35:52

like it

00:35:52 --> 00:35:53

if they are truthful.

00:35:54 --> 00:35:55

This is a challenge.

00:35:56 --> 00:35:58

And, of course, they tried.

00:35:59 --> 00:36:01

They tried to bring poetry like it.

00:36:02 --> 00:36:03

It couldn't make sense.

00:36:05 --> 00:36:07

It's the same thing today as we were

00:36:07 --> 00:36:09

talking the rappers,

00:36:09 --> 00:36:10

you know, the hip hop.

00:36:11 --> 00:36:12

So the rap is rap.

00:36:13 --> 00:36:16

And I even heard rapping in Urdu and

00:36:16 --> 00:36:18

the rapping in Pharisee and Arabic,

00:36:19 --> 00:36:21

Spanish, Spanish rappers.

00:36:22 --> 00:36:24

Everybody's trying to talk in rhythm, right?

00:36:25 --> 00:36:26

But when you talk in rhythm

00:36:27 --> 00:36:29

and try to tell a story,

00:36:30 --> 00:36:32

it doesn't make after a while, it doesn't

00:36:32 --> 00:36:32

make sense

00:36:33 --> 00:36:35

because you can't keep the rhythm. Right?

00:36:36 --> 00:36:38

It sounds good, though. The hip hop has

00:36:38 --> 00:36:39

got beat. Right?

00:36:40 --> 00:36:42

So you're moving to the beat. But half

00:36:42 --> 00:36:44

of what he's saying is foolishness.

00:36:46 --> 00:36:47

Oh, he's repeating the words over and over

00:36:47 --> 00:36:49

and over again. Right?

00:36:50 --> 00:36:52

Because human mind cannot

00:36:53 --> 00:36:55

continue to make perfect rhythm.

00:36:58 --> 00:36:59

For instance, the story of Joseph,

00:37:00 --> 00:37:00

Yusuf

00:37:01 --> 00:37:03

the whole story of Joseph.

00:37:03 --> 00:37:05

It's in perfect rhythm.

00:37:06 --> 00:37:07

That's not possible.

00:37:08 --> 00:37:10

And nobody's been able to do it up

00:37:10 --> 00:37:10

until today.

00:37:12 --> 00:37:14

So this is what is called

00:37:15 --> 00:37:16

the linguistic

00:37:17 --> 00:37:18

or the literary

00:37:20 --> 00:37:22

miracle of the Quran.

00:37:23 --> 00:37:24

And there's a whole study

00:37:25 --> 00:37:26

that I did if any of

00:37:26 --> 00:37:28

you want to go into it. IIT, we

00:37:28 --> 00:37:29

have a bank

00:37:29 --> 00:37:31

of some of the classes

00:37:31 --> 00:37:33

and there is miracles of the Quran. You

00:37:33 --> 00:37:35

could, you know, get into the IIT and

00:37:35 --> 00:37:36

then get this whole

00:37:37 --> 00:37:39

set of classes that I did

00:37:39 --> 00:37:40

there

00:37:40 --> 00:37:43

because there's so many forms of literary,

00:37:45 --> 00:37:46

you know, expression.

00:37:48 --> 00:37:50

And the Quran has got all of these

00:37:50 --> 00:37:51

different

00:37:51 --> 00:37:52

things.

00:37:52 --> 00:37:54

This is a person now

00:37:55 --> 00:37:56

who is supposed to be illiterate.

00:37:57 --> 00:37:58

We would say unleaded.

00:37:59 --> 00:38:01

So he wasn't reading books.

00:38:03 --> 00:38:04

He was not reading

00:38:05 --> 00:38:07

the Bible. He was not reading the Torah.

00:38:07 --> 00:38:08

He was not reading,

00:38:09 --> 00:38:12

writings of ancient Egyptians or ancient Persians.

00:38:13 --> 00:38:14

No.

00:38:15 --> 00:38:16

The only thing he knew

00:38:17 --> 00:38:18

was Arabic

00:38:19 --> 00:38:21

and what he had learned orally. Right?

00:38:25 --> 00:38:27

The second point

00:38:28 --> 00:38:29

is the scientific

00:38:29 --> 00:38:30

perspective.

00:38:32 --> 00:38:33

You know, and

00:38:36 --> 00:38:38

that, okay, that this is the scientific perspective,

00:38:39 --> 00:38:41

and then there's another perspective, historical

00:38:41 --> 00:38:42

perspective.

00:38:44 --> 00:38:46

Right? There's the mathematical perspective

00:38:48 --> 00:38:49

And there's predictions

00:38:49 --> 00:38:50

of the future.

00:38:51 --> 00:38:53

This is just some of the miracles coming

00:38:53 --> 00:38:54

in this book.

00:38:55 --> 00:38:57

So this is over a 23 year period.

00:38:58 --> 00:39:01

It's coming according to circumstances at different points

00:39:01 --> 00:39:04

in time. And after his death, they had

00:39:04 --> 00:39:04

memorized

00:39:05 --> 00:39:06

the whole thing.

00:39:07 --> 00:39:08

There were many people memorized it. Then they

00:39:08 --> 00:39:10

put it into a book form,

00:39:10 --> 00:39:11

and we still have originals.

00:39:13 --> 00:39:15

Okay. So these are some of the miracles

00:39:15 --> 00:39:18

there in terms of the linguistic and not

00:39:18 --> 00:39:19

to go too deep into this.

00:39:20 --> 00:39:21

But,

00:39:22 --> 00:39:24

humanity could not replicate

00:39:24 --> 00:39:25

the literary form

00:39:27 --> 00:39:29

or the unique linguistic nature.

00:39:30 --> 00:39:33

Okay. Select and arrange words like the Quran.

00:39:35 --> 00:39:36

Humanity could not

00:39:37 --> 00:39:40

select and arrange similar grammatical particles. This is

00:39:40 --> 00:39:41

getting a little bit deep into,

00:39:43 --> 00:39:43

linguistics.

00:39:44 --> 00:39:45

Okay?

00:39:46 --> 00:39:46

The

00:39:47 --> 00:39:49

superior eloquence and the sound

00:39:50 --> 00:39:52

The eloquence and the sound

00:39:53 --> 00:39:55

there. And you will see people who don't

00:39:55 --> 00:39:55

speak Arabic,

00:39:56 --> 00:39:58

but they'll listen to the Quran and it

00:39:58 --> 00:39:59

will reach them

00:40:00 --> 00:40:02

because of the eloquence that's there.

00:40:03 --> 00:40:04

Okay? Also, the frequency

00:40:05 --> 00:40:08

of rhetorical devices. This is something this is

00:40:08 --> 00:40:09

a deep study in language.

00:40:10 --> 00:40:12

Okay? There are certain things in rhetoric

00:40:13 --> 00:40:15

how rhetoric is used.

00:40:16 --> 00:40:16

Okay?

00:40:17 --> 00:40:20

This has this. The level of content. In

00:40:20 --> 00:40:22

other words, the information and the meaning coming

00:40:22 --> 00:40:22

in

00:40:23 --> 00:40:25

and also the Quran's

00:40:25 --> 00:40:26

conciseness

00:40:26 --> 00:40:27

and flexibility.

00:40:28 --> 00:40:30

Okay. This is just some points from the

00:40:30 --> 00:40:31

linguistic one.

00:40:32 --> 00:40:34

Okay. And in the Quran, it is saying,

00:40:35 --> 00:40:36

we will show

00:40:39 --> 00:40:40

them

00:40:43 --> 00:40:46

We will show them our signs in the

00:40:46 --> 00:40:46

universe

00:40:47 --> 00:40:48

and in their own selves

00:40:50 --> 00:40:52

until it becomes manifest

00:40:53 --> 00:40:54

to them that

00:40:54 --> 00:40:54

this,

00:40:55 --> 00:40:57

meaning the Quran, is the truth.

00:40:59 --> 00:41:00

So that's what it's saying.

00:41:01 --> 00:41:02

So people had a chance to really go

00:41:02 --> 00:41:04

into this thing If the average person

00:41:05 --> 00:41:06

had a chance, if it was translated into

00:41:06 --> 00:41:07

their language,

00:41:08 --> 00:41:09

or if they could learn Arabic,

00:41:11 --> 00:41:13

right? Then they will begin to see what

00:41:13 --> 00:41:15

this is that he carried.

00:41:16 --> 00:41:17

Because remember, we want to know who is

00:41:17 --> 00:41:19

this man? Why would we accept him as

00:41:19 --> 00:41:22

the messenger of Allah? It's not just him

00:41:22 --> 00:41:23

as a human being because he was a

00:41:23 --> 00:41:24

human being.

00:41:25 --> 00:41:26

But it's the message.

00:41:27 --> 00:41:29

It's the message that he's carrying,

00:41:30 --> 00:41:31

which is the key thing.

00:41:33 --> 00:41:35

Now remember the scientific part,

00:41:45 --> 00:41:45

miracles.

00:41:46 --> 00:41:49

Okay. In the chapter called Surat Al Anbiya,

00:41:49 --> 00:41:51

the prophets verse 30,

00:41:52 --> 00:41:53

part of it is saying

00:41:58 --> 00:41:59

It says:

00:41:59 --> 00:42:00

And we created

00:42:01 --> 00:42:02

every living

00:42:03 --> 00:42:04

thing from water.

00:42:05 --> 00:42:07

Will they still not believe?

00:42:09 --> 00:42:11

1400 plus years ago,

00:42:12 --> 00:42:15

it's saying that every living thing is created

00:42:15 --> 00:42:16

from water.

00:42:16 --> 00:42:18

This is a saying of the First Nations'

00:42:18 --> 00:42:19

indigenous people

00:42:22 --> 00:42:24

here that water is life.

00:42:26 --> 00:42:26

And scientists

00:42:29 --> 00:42:30

found out only within the

00:42:31 --> 00:42:33

last few 100 years or so even 100

00:42:33 --> 00:42:35

years or whatever it is

00:42:35 --> 00:42:37

they realized scientifically

00:42:37 --> 00:42:40

that every living thing it's H2O

00:42:40 --> 00:42:41

is the basis

00:42:42 --> 00:42:44

of every living thing! How could he have

00:42:44 --> 00:42:45

known this? You

00:42:46 --> 00:42:46

see?

00:42:47 --> 00:42:49

This is a madman just babbling things like

00:42:49 --> 00:42:50

a rapper.

00:42:52 --> 00:42:53

How could he have

00:42:54 --> 00:42:54

known

00:42:55 --> 00:42:58

that every living thing is created from water?

00:42:59 --> 00:43:00

Think about

00:43:01 --> 00:43:01

that!

00:43:02 --> 00:43:03

Also

00:43:04 --> 00:43:05

the creation of

00:43:06 --> 00:43:06

mountains.

00:43:08 --> 00:43:10

There's a chapter, Surah, to Nebah,

00:43:11 --> 00:43:12

where it is saying,

00:43:14 --> 00:43:16

have we not made the earth

00:43:16 --> 00:43:17

as a bed

00:43:19 --> 00:43:20

and the mountains

00:43:20 --> 00:43:21

as pegs?

00:43:24 --> 00:43:27

So the Quran is saying that we made

00:43:27 --> 00:43:28

the earth as a bed,

00:43:30 --> 00:43:33

okay, and then the mountain as pegs, ohtad.

00:43:34 --> 00:43:35

That was the pegs when you have a

00:43:35 --> 00:43:36

tent.

00:43:37 --> 00:43:38

And then you put the pegs in,

00:43:39 --> 00:43:40

the side of the tent

00:43:41 --> 00:43:43

to hold it down, right? Now only recently,

00:43:44 --> 00:43:46

here's a scientific drawing

00:43:47 --> 00:43:49

that when you look at a mountain, right,

00:43:50 --> 00:43:53

most of the mountain is under the ground.

00:43:55 --> 00:43:57

It's under the ground. It's like a peg.

00:43:58 --> 00:44:00

And the mountain chains are literally holding

00:44:01 --> 00:44:03

the surface of the earth.

00:44:03 --> 00:44:06

It's holding it on because, you know, underneath

00:44:06 --> 00:44:08

is lava. Right?

00:44:08 --> 00:44:09

Volcanic lava.

00:44:10 --> 00:44:13

So literally, the mountains are holding,

00:44:14 --> 00:44:15

the crust,

00:44:17 --> 00:44:17

protecting us.

00:44:18 --> 00:44:19

How does he know this?

00:44:22 --> 00:44:24

What scientific way

00:44:25 --> 00:44:27

was he able to penetrate the Earth

00:44:29 --> 00:44:31

and to know the basis of the mountains?

00:44:33 --> 00:44:34

Think about this.

00:44:34 --> 00:44:35

This is not possible.

00:44:37 --> 00:44:38

Okay? And there are so many

00:44:39 --> 00:44:40

different scientific,

00:44:43 --> 00:44:43

miracles.

00:44:44 --> 00:44:46

There's also the historical perspective.

00:44:47 --> 00:44:49

There's a chapter called,

00:44:49 --> 00:44:51

the chapter of Rome,

00:44:52 --> 00:44:55

Suratul Rum. And it begins by saying.

00:44:58 --> 00:44:59

It says Rome.

00:45:00 --> 00:45:02

I remember this is now

00:45:03 --> 00:45:04

around 6

00:45:06 --> 00:45:06

610

00:45:08 --> 00:45:08

AD.

00:45:09 --> 00:45:10

And at that time,

00:45:11 --> 00:45:13

Rome and Persia were 2 of the great

00:45:13 --> 00:45:14

empires of the world.

00:45:16 --> 00:45:18

And Rome had been defeated by the Persian

00:45:18 --> 00:45:19

Empire,

00:45:21 --> 00:45:21

decisively

00:45:22 --> 00:45:22

defeated.

00:45:24 --> 00:45:26

And nobody thought the Romans would ever come

00:45:26 --> 00:45:26

back again.

00:45:28 --> 00:45:29

But the verse is saying

00:45:30 --> 00:45:30

that

00:45:31 --> 00:45:32

Rome has been defeated

00:45:33 --> 00:45:36

in the lowest point of the earth,

00:45:38 --> 00:45:39

and they will come back

00:45:40 --> 00:45:41

and be victorious.

00:45:43 --> 00:45:45

And later on during the prophet's life,

00:45:46 --> 00:45:47

this came true!

00:45:47 --> 00:45:48

The Romans

00:45:49 --> 00:45:51

defeated the Persians back!

00:45:52 --> 00:45:53

How did he know this

00:45:54 --> 00:45:55

is gonna happen? And you know what they

00:45:55 --> 00:45:57

found out? It was interesting too?

00:45:57 --> 00:45:59

It said that they were defeated in the

00:45:59 --> 00:46:02

lowest point on earth and that was what

00:46:02 --> 00:46:04

is now called the Dead Sea.

00:46:05 --> 00:46:06

And the Dead Sea

00:46:08 --> 00:46:09

there in

00:46:10 --> 00:46:12

the Palestine, you know, Jordan area, this Dead

00:46:12 --> 00:46:13

Sea,

00:46:14 --> 00:46:16

because of what happened, brims, fire, and brimstones,

00:46:18 --> 00:46:20

it is the lowest point on earth

00:46:21 --> 00:46:23

in terms of the depth

00:46:23 --> 00:46:25

where it goes down.

00:46:26 --> 00:46:27

It's the lowest point.

00:46:28 --> 00:46:29

How does he know

00:46:31 --> 00:46:32

that Romans

00:46:32 --> 00:46:33

will be defeated

00:46:34 --> 00:46:35

in the lowest point of the earth? How

00:46:35 --> 00:46:36

do you know this?

00:46:37 --> 00:46:38

You see?

00:46:38 --> 00:46:40

This is not possible!

00:46:42 --> 00:46:43

And this is what

00:46:44 --> 00:46:46

the study of the court ends.

00:46:46 --> 00:46:49

In in this book, remember, over a 23

00:46:49 --> 00:46:50

year period,

00:46:52 --> 00:46:53

there's 3,000

00:46:54 --> 00:46:55

approximately 3,000,

00:46:57 --> 00:46:58

302,000

00:47:00 --> 00:47:01

15 letters

00:47:02 --> 00:47:03

in this book.

00:47:04 --> 00:47:05

77,449

00:47:07 --> 00:47:07

words.

00:47:08 --> 00:47:09

So if you're Hafiz,

00:47:10 --> 00:47:12

you memorize, you've got a lot of words

00:47:12 --> 00:47:13

in your head.

00:47:15 --> 00:47:16

The verses

00:47:17 --> 00:47:18

there's more than 6,000,

00:47:19 --> 00:47:20

okay?

00:47:20 --> 00:47:21

Varying opinions

00:47:23 --> 00:47:25

but more than 6,000 verses.

00:47:26 --> 00:47:27

There's a 114

00:47:27 --> 00:47:28

chapters.

00:47:29 --> 00:47:31

Okay? And this is according to Hafiz ibn

00:47:31 --> 00:47:31

Qasiyyah

00:47:32 --> 00:47:33

who was one of the great scholars.

00:47:34 --> 00:47:36

Okay. So this is

00:47:37 --> 00:47:38

numbers now

00:47:39 --> 00:47:41

because, you know, many people today are very

00:47:41 --> 00:47:43

impressed by numbers.

00:47:44 --> 00:47:46

And it's based upon the culture that you're

00:47:46 --> 00:47:48

in. Different people I remember I was living

00:47:48 --> 00:47:49

in Bahrain and we would,

00:47:51 --> 00:47:53

we set up a discover Islam because Bahrain

00:47:53 --> 00:47:55

had a lot of boats, these love boats

00:47:55 --> 00:47:56

coming in.

00:47:56 --> 00:47:58

And the boats would go come and then

00:47:58 --> 00:48:00

when you go in Bahrain, you know, in

00:48:00 --> 00:48:01

the in the gulf, right, the gulf area.

00:48:02 --> 00:48:03

So when you go to Bahrain,

00:48:04 --> 00:48:07

they have the Formula 1 race cars, but

00:48:07 --> 00:48:09

that's only a certain time of the year.

00:48:09 --> 00:48:10

Most of the time, if you go to

00:48:10 --> 00:48:12

the city in Bahrain, what are you going

00:48:12 --> 00:48:13

to visit?

00:48:14 --> 00:48:15

What is there to visit?

00:48:16 --> 00:48:18

One of the most important things was,

00:48:19 --> 00:48:19

the big,

00:48:20 --> 00:48:22

masjid, you know, there in Bahrain.

00:48:23 --> 00:48:24

And so we would,

00:48:25 --> 00:48:26

we set up tour groups

00:48:27 --> 00:48:28

to take the tourists

00:48:28 --> 00:48:29

around the mosque.

00:48:30 --> 00:48:33

And different people, Germans came, French came, Japanese

00:48:33 --> 00:48:35

came, Americans came.

00:48:35 --> 00:48:38

You know, different people like different things. Right?

00:48:39 --> 00:48:41

Some like the doors. Some like

00:48:42 --> 00:48:44

the geometrical things. And I noticed, though,

00:48:44 --> 00:48:45

the Japanese,

00:48:46 --> 00:48:48

you know what they really liked? We had

00:48:48 --> 00:48:50

the 5 times prayers.

00:48:50 --> 00:48:52

And they had the times of the prayers

00:48:52 --> 00:48:54

for every single day.

00:48:55 --> 00:48:57

And they really liked these numbers, right?

00:48:58 --> 00:49:00

That you people are organized!

00:49:01 --> 00:49:02

All of your prayers!

00:49:03 --> 00:49:04

They were fascinated

00:49:05 --> 00:49:06

by this thing because

00:49:07 --> 00:49:10

they're really organized people, right? So they were

00:49:10 --> 00:49:11

fascinated by numbers!

00:49:12 --> 00:49:14

So some people are fascinated by numbers, especially

00:49:14 --> 00:49:16

in the age that we live in

00:49:16 --> 00:49:17

today.

00:49:18 --> 00:49:19

Okay, so now

00:49:19 --> 00:49:21

let's look at the numerical

00:49:23 --> 00:49:25

miracles of the Quran itself.

00:49:25 --> 00:49:26

Remember,

00:49:26 --> 00:49:27

this is a book

00:49:28 --> 00:49:29

over 23

00:49:30 --> 00:49:30

years.

00:49:31 --> 00:49:32

Think about this.

00:49:33 --> 00:49:35

It's 23 years. He lived in Mecca for

00:49:35 --> 00:49:37

13 years, and then he and then he

00:49:37 --> 00:49:39

had to, flee to Medina,

00:49:40 --> 00:49:41

10 years.

00:49:41 --> 00:49:43

So at different intervals during that time,

00:49:44 --> 00:49:45

sections of the book is revealed.

00:49:47 --> 00:49:47

Okay?

00:49:48 --> 00:49:50

And then at the end, it's all put

00:49:50 --> 00:49:51

together.

00:49:51 --> 00:49:52

And before he died,

00:49:53 --> 00:49:55

you know, they they had memorized the whole

00:49:55 --> 00:49:57

book. They would read the whole book in

00:49:57 --> 00:49:58

the month of Ramadan.

00:50:02 --> 00:50:02

So

00:50:03 --> 00:50:04

in terms of the numbers, this is not

00:50:04 --> 00:50:05

like a book

00:50:07 --> 00:50:08

where you can sit down and you got

00:50:08 --> 00:50:09

the book and then you can review it

00:50:09 --> 00:50:12

and you can change and, you know, add

00:50:12 --> 00:50:13

and subtract and delete and do all these

00:50:13 --> 00:50:14

things. No.

00:50:15 --> 00:50:18

It's over 23 year period. So just think

00:50:18 --> 00:50:20

about that when you're thinking about the book.

00:50:20 --> 00:50:21

Now

00:50:23 --> 00:50:25

in the age of computer science,

00:50:27 --> 00:50:31

people are able to now do amazing things

00:50:31 --> 00:50:32

with these computers. Right?

00:50:33 --> 00:50:34

And and what

00:50:35 --> 00:50:37

some people did, they were financed

00:50:37 --> 00:50:39

to put the computer

00:50:40 --> 00:50:41

onto the Quran. Take

00:50:42 --> 00:50:43

all the words,

00:50:44 --> 00:50:45

synthesize them,

00:50:46 --> 00:50:47

and come out with formulas.

00:50:48 --> 00:50:49

The computers could do this.

00:50:50 --> 00:50:52

K? So they found out

00:50:53 --> 00:50:55

that within all of these verses over 23

00:50:56 --> 00:50:56

years,

00:50:57 --> 00:50:59

that the word al hayat

00:51:01 --> 00:51:02

appears

00:51:03 --> 00:51:03

in the Quran

00:51:04 --> 00:51:05

145 times.

00:51:07 --> 00:51:08

And the word almoth

00:51:11 --> 00:51:11

145

00:51:12 --> 00:51:12

times

00:51:13 --> 00:51:14

See this?

00:51:16 --> 00:51:17

Al Malaika, angels,

00:51:18 --> 00:51:19

it

00:51:20 --> 00:51:20

comes 88

00:51:22 --> 00:51:25

times and al shayateen, the devils, 88 times.

00:51:27 --> 00:51:27

Arrajal,

00:51:28 --> 00:51:28

man,

00:51:29 --> 00:51:30

24.

00:51:31 --> 00:51:32

Al Mar'a,

00:51:32 --> 00:51:33

woman,

00:51:33 --> 00:51:34

24 times.

00:51:35 --> 00:51:38

So this is all the verses from Mecca,

00:51:38 --> 00:51:40

Medina, all this 23 year period.

00:51:41 --> 00:51:42

How could somebody review

00:51:43 --> 00:51:45

the work that he was doing? Think about

00:51:46 --> 00:51:47

Now try to think about this.

00:51:49 --> 00:51:51

Even if you are a really talented writer,

00:51:52 --> 00:51:53

just write an essay

00:51:55 --> 00:51:57

and try to make something like this happen.

00:51:57 --> 00:51:59

Try to make men and women,

00:51:59 --> 00:52:00

you know,

00:52:00 --> 00:52:01

equal

00:52:01 --> 00:52:02

in an essay.

00:52:04 --> 00:52:06

It's almost impossible to do.

00:52:07 --> 00:52:09

Righteous deeds, 167.

00:52:12 --> 00:52:13

Evil deeds,

00:52:13 --> 00:52:14

167.

00:52:18 --> 00:52:19

This world,

00:52:21 --> 00:52:21

115 times.

00:52:25 --> 00:52:26

Meaning the hereafter,

00:52:26 --> 00:52:27

115

00:52:27 --> 00:52:27

times.

00:52:28 --> 00:52:30

This is unbelievable what they found.

00:52:33 --> 00:52:34

Al Usur

00:52:38 --> 00:52:38

36.

00:52:39 --> 00:52:39

Difficulty

00:52:40 --> 00:52:40

12.

00:52:42 --> 00:52:42

Al Abra,

00:52:43 --> 00:52:45

the righteous, 6 times. Al Fujah,

00:52:46 --> 00:52:47

wicked, 3 times.

00:52:48 --> 00:52:50

Al Jaha saying something loud,

00:52:51 --> 00:52:53

16. Al Alaniyah in public,

00:52:54 --> 00:52:54

16.

00:52:56 --> 00:52:57

People,

00:52:57 --> 00:52:57

Anas,

00:52:58 --> 00:52:58

50.

00:52:59 --> 00:53:00

Anbiya,

00:53:00 --> 00:53:01

prophets, 50.

00:53:02 --> 00:53:03

Al Mahaba,

00:53:03 --> 00:53:04

83. Ata'a,

00:53:06 --> 00:53:07

obedience, 83.

00:53:08 --> 00:53:08

Alhudah,

00:53:09 --> 00:53:09

79.

00:53:10 --> 00:53:11

Rahma,

00:53:11 --> 00:53:12

mercy,

00:53:12 --> 00:53:12

79.

00:53:14 --> 00:53:14

Assalam,

00:53:15 --> 00:53:16

50

00:53:16 --> 00:53:17

ataybet50

00:53:19 --> 00:53:20

ashiddah102

00:53:24 --> 00:53:24

Asabar,

00:53:25 --> 00:53:26

patience,

00:53:27 --> 00:53:28

102 times.

00:53:30 --> 00:53:30

It's unbelievable.

00:53:31 --> 00:53:32

Al Musiba,

00:53:34 --> 00:53:35

75 times.

00:53:36 --> 00:53:37

And Ashukar,

00:53:38 --> 00:53:40

giving showing gratitude,

00:53:40 --> 00:53:41

75.

00:53:43 --> 00:53:43

Iblis

00:53:45 --> 00:53:46

11 times.

00:53:46 --> 00:53:47

Istihadabilah

00:53:48 --> 00:53:50

seeking refuge from the devil

00:53:50 --> 00:53:51

11 times.

00:53:53 --> 00:53:54

11

00:53:55 --> 00:53:56

times 117

00:53:56 --> 00:53:57

times

00:53:58 --> 00:53:58

Al Maghfirah

00:54:01 --> 00:54:01

234

00:54:02 --> 00:54:03

times.

00:54:04 --> 00:54:05

Now

00:54:08 --> 00:54:09

117

00:54:10 --> 00:54:11

times 2

00:54:13 --> 00:54:14

is 234.

00:54:17 --> 00:54:19

Ashaha. Now look at this one here.

00:54:20 --> 00:54:21

Month. Right? The word month.

00:54:22 --> 00:54:23

Twelve times.

00:54:25 --> 00:54:26

Do an essay

00:54:27 --> 00:54:29

and try to make the word month

00:54:30 --> 00:54:32

appear 12 12 times. Try it.

00:54:35 --> 00:54:35

Yom,

00:54:36 --> 00:54:37

meaning day,

00:54:38 --> 00:54:39

365 times.

00:54:41 --> 00:54:42

Okay?

00:54:43 --> 00:54:43

Al Baha

00:54:44 --> 00:54:44

32.

00:54:46 --> 00:54:49

Now this one requires a mathematical mind, which

00:54:49 --> 00:54:51

I don't have, but I'll try to explain

00:54:51 --> 00:54:52

it to you.

00:54:53 --> 00:54:54

Albaha

00:54:55 --> 00:54:56

32 times

00:54:58 --> 00:54:59

albar

00:54:59 --> 00:55:00

which is land,

00:55:01 --> 00:55:02

13.

00:55:02 --> 00:55:04

So you have the sea, right?

00:55:05 --> 00:55:06

And land, 13.

00:55:07 --> 00:55:09

If you add up the total of the

00:55:09 --> 00:55:11

words of both sea and land,

00:55:12 --> 00:55:12

it equals

00:55:13 --> 00:55:13

45.

00:55:15 --> 00:55:16

It would be like the surface of the

00:55:16 --> 00:55:17

earth. Right?

00:55:18 --> 00:55:19

45.

00:55:19 --> 00:55:21

Now if you do a calculation,

00:55:23 --> 00:55:24

32,

00:55:25 --> 00:55:26

which is the c

00:55:26 --> 00:55:27

times

00:55:27 --> 00:55:28

32,

00:55:29 --> 00:55:29

45

00:55:30 --> 00:55:31

times a 100%,

00:55:32 --> 00:55:33

it comes to

00:55:35 --> 00:55:35

71.11.

00:55:39 --> 00:55:39

13,

00:55:41 --> 00:55:41

right,

00:55:42 --> 00:55:44

over 45 13 over 45

00:55:46 --> 00:55:49

times a 100%, it comes to 28.888.

00:55:51 --> 00:55:52

K?

00:55:52 --> 00:55:54

So that would mean for the ocean,

00:55:55 --> 00:55:55

71.11

00:55:57 --> 00:55:59

and the land, 28.88.

00:56:00 --> 00:56:01

Okay?

00:56:01 --> 00:56:02

That is the scientific

00:56:03 --> 00:56:05

percentage of water and land.

00:56:07 --> 00:56:10

Look at this. It is the percentage of

00:56:10 --> 00:56:12

water and land

00:56:12 --> 00:56:13

on earth.

00:56:15 --> 00:56:16

This is in this book.

00:56:17 --> 00:56:18

You see?

00:56:19 --> 00:56:20

How could he have known this?

00:56:22 --> 00:56:23

Even if he knew,

00:56:23 --> 00:56:25

how can you actually do this?

00:56:26 --> 00:56:27

Unless you have,

00:56:28 --> 00:56:31

scientific understanding, how do you even know it's

00:56:31 --> 00:56:31

only recently,

00:56:32 --> 00:56:34

you know, it's only in what

00:56:35 --> 00:56:38

Magellan and some people. They say he went

00:56:38 --> 00:56:39

around the the world and,

00:56:41 --> 00:56:43

it's only recently in the past 5, 600

00:56:43 --> 00:56:45

years. This probably before,

00:56:45 --> 00:56:47

but for what we know now in the,

00:56:48 --> 00:56:49

European period,

00:56:50 --> 00:56:52

it's only in the past 600 years or

00:56:52 --> 00:56:54

so, 500 years, people have gone around the

00:56:54 --> 00:56:54

earth

00:56:55 --> 00:56:57

and mapped the earth.

00:56:58 --> 00:56:59

Look at this.

00:57:01 --> 00:57:02

K? So these

00:57:04 --> 00:57:05

are some of the miracles.

00:57:06 --> 00:57:07

There are miracles,

00:57:08 --> 00:57:08

linguistic

00:57:09 --> 00:57:09

miracles.

00:57:11 --> 00:57:12

There are historical

00:57:13 --> 00:57:13

miracles,

00:57:14 --> 00:57:15

okay,

00:57:15 --> 00:57:16

there are scientific,

00:57:19 --> 00:57:19

mathematical,

00:57:21 --> 00:57:23

and this is the tip of the iceberg.

00:57:23 --> 00:57:25

You could even go online

00:57:25 --> 00:57:27

and look up Miracles of the Quran.

00:57:28 --> 00:57:31

You can go online. There's books written about

00:57:31 --> 00:57:31

this.

00:57:32 --> 00:57:34

We have Muslim scientists have have gone into

00:57:34 --> 00:57:35

this thing.

00:57:35 --> 00:57:37

And it's unbelievable.

00:57:38 --> 00:57:40

So what we're saying is

00:57:40 --> 00:57:42

to, you know, to accept this man

00:57:43 --> 00:57:45

that what came through him is the word

00:57:45 --> 00:57:45

of God.

00:57:46 --> 00:57:49

You see, the more you get to know

00:57:49 --> 00:57:50

the Koran itself,

00:57:57 --> 00:57:59

Okay? So I wanna I wanna open up

00:57:59 --> 00:58:00

the floor

00:58:01 --> 00:58:03

for any questions that anybody, you know, may

00:58:03 --> 00:58:04

have.

00:58:05 --> 00:58:05

Floor is open.

00:58:08 --> 00:58:10

Look online also. Excuse my voice. I had

00:58:10 --> 00:58:12

to give the foot on Tarek today and

00:58:13 --> 00:58:14

I lost my voice.

00:58:15 --> 00:58:15

Okay.

00:58:16 --> 00:58:18

Look online and see if there's any questions.

00:58:18 --> 00:58:20

Flo Flo is on. I know this is

00:58:20 --> 00:58:22

a shock, so just sorta, like, calm down

00:58:22 --> 00:58:25

and, you know, whatever questions you have. Floor

00:58:25 --> 00:58:26

is open for any questions.

00:58:31 --> 00:58:33

So what this is showing now

00:58:34 --> 00:58:36

is this revelation

00:58:36 --> 00:58:37

coming to this man.

00:58:38 --> 00:58:40

It starts slowly,

00:58:41 --> 00:58:43

and then it starts to build.

00:58:44 --> 00:58:46

And when different incidents happen to him in

00:58:46 --> 00:58:46

his life

00:58:47 --> 00:58:49

or at different points sections of the book

00:58:49 --> 00:58:50

come.

00:58:51 --> 00:58:53

But when you put it all together,

00:58:54 --> 00:58:55

this

00:58:57 --> 00:59:00

okay? And there's a challenge inside of it

00:59:01 --> 00:59:03

that is saying, if you do not believe

00:59:03 --> 00:59:04

this is from God,

00:59:05 --> 00:59:07

then do something like this.

00:59:07 --> 00:59:08

Try.

00:59:09 --> 00:59:11

Bring all your scientists, your poets, bring everybody

00:59:11 --> 00:59:12

together.

00:59:12 --> 00:59:14

You will not be able to produce a

00:59:14 --> 00:59:16

book such as this.

00:59:16 --> 00:59:18

There's never been a book like that.

00:59:19 --> 00:59:21

Think about all the books we have, sisters,

00:59:21 --> 00:59:23

there are librarians.

00:59:24 --> 00:59:26

Think about the books. What is the books?

00:59:26 --> 00:59:27

The toad of Moses is we can't even

00:59:27 --> 00:59:28

find it now.

00:59:29 --> 00:59:30

The gospels, we can't even we just have

00:59:30 --> 00:59:33

the Dead Sea Scrolls. What is the book?

00:59:34 --> 00:59:35

Shakespeare's book,

00:59:36 --> 00:59:37

Nostradamus

00:59:37 --> 00:59:39

has this book called The Prophecies of Nostradamus.

00:59:40 --> 00:59:40

It's famous.

00:59:41 --> 00:59:44

That's a famous book. But has anybody memorized

00:59:44 --> 00:59:46

word for word all of the prophecies of

00:59:46 --> 00:59:47

Nostradamus?

00:59:47 --> 00:59:48

No.

00:59:48 --> 00:59:50

You just have the book. Right?

00:59:52 --> 00:59:54

Think about different books that are famous. What

00:59:54 --> 00:59:55

book in history

00:59:56 --> 01:00:00

has millions of people up until today

01:00:01 --> 01:00:04

have memorized the whole book cover to cover.

01:00:04 --> 01:00:07

And some of them are not Arabic speaking.

01:00:08 --> 01:00:10

You see? This is miraculous.

01:00:11 --> 01:00:13

And the more we understand this

01:00:13 --> 01:00:15

is the more we can accept

01:00:15 --> 01:00:17

the second part of the kalima.

01:00:17 --> 01:00:19

It becomes as clear as the first part

01:00:20 --> 01:00:22

that Mohammed is the messenger of Allah.

01:00:22 --> 01:00:24

He's delivering a message from

01:00:25 --> 01:00:27

the creator of the heavens and the earth.

01:00:29 --> 01:00:29

Okay?

01:00:31 --> 01:00:32

Floor is open for any general questions,

01:00:33 --> 01:00:36

anybody has? Please mention the best translation.

01:00:38 --> 01:00:40

There's a lot of different translations, but right

01:00:40 --> 01:00:41

now,

01:00:42 --> 01:00:43

the clear Quran

01:00:44 --> 01:00:45

of most of a khatta.

01:00:45 --> 01:00:47

So so that is the one that we're

01:00:47 --> 01:00:47

using now,

01:00:48 --> 01:00:50

because he's done an you know, his team

01:00:50 --> 01:00:51

has done an excellent job.

01:00:52 --> 01:00:54

There's some that are here the clear Quran.

01:00:55 --> 01:00:57

And we have also worked upon,

01:00:57 --> 01:01:00

an audio version of it. Oh, yeah. So

01:01:00 --> 01:01:03

there's an audio version of this now,

01:01:03 --> 01:01:05

which is coming out as well.

01:01:05 --> 01:01:06

K? Question.

01:01:07 --> 01:01:09

So in the beginning, you said prophet Muhammad,

01:01:09 --> 01:01:12

peace be upon him. He had visions at

01:01:12 --> 01:01:12

first,

01:01:13 --> 01:01:13

and then,

01:01:15 --> 01:01:16

Angel Jibril,

01:01:16 --> 01:01:18

came to him and spoke to him. Is

01:01:18 --> 01:01:21

the Quran just Angel Jibril speaking to him?

01:01:21 --> 01:01:24

Yeah. So the Quran came in different ways.

01:01:24 --> 01:01:26

The first time was not just visions.

01:01:27 --> 01:01:29

The first time is is the angel actually

01:01:29 --> 01:01:30

coming.

01:01:31 --> 01:01:33

But these are the different ways, you know,

01:01:33 --> 01:01:35

that it that it came in different forms,

01:01:36 --> 01:01:37

that it came.

01:01:39 --> 01:01:41

So he'd have this vision in it.

01:01:41 --> 01:01:44

There's some verses in the Quran come. And

01:01:44 --> 01:01:46

then he said whenever it would come, it

01:01:46 --> 01:01:47

would be like it's imprinted on it, his

01:01:47 --> 01:01:48

chest.

01:01:49 --> 01:01:50

And then he would read it to his

01:01:50 --> 01:01:51

followers

01:01:51 --> 01:01:53

and they would all memorize it.

01:01:54 --> 01:01:56

Right. And then they would repeat it over

01:01:56 --> 01:01:58

and over again during their prayers.

01:01:58 --> 01:02:00

And it continued to continue to continue for

01:02:00 --> 01:02:01

23 years

01:02:02 --> 01:02:03

until they had the whole of the book.

01:02:03 --> 01:02:05

And the angel, according to our teachings, would

01:02:05 --> 01:02:06

come

01:02:06 --> 01:02:08

down in the month of Ramadan and review

01:02:08 --> 01:02:10

the whole thing with him.

01:02:10 --> 01:02:12

And the chapters are set up according to,

01:02:13 --> 01:02:15

what he got from the angel himself.

01:02:19 --> 01:02:20

Any other general questions?

01:02:21 --> 01:02:23

So now we want to open up the

01:02:23 --> 01:02:23

floor.

01:02:24 --> 01:02:27

We have a few moments for any general

01:02:27 --> 01:02:28

questions about Islam

01:02:29 --> 01:02:30

that we have. This is a new Muslim

01:02:30 --> 01:02:31

corner.

01:02:32 --> 01:02:32

And,

01:02:33 --> 01:02:34

so if you have any general questions even

01:02:34 --> 01:02:36

outside of the topic,

01:02:36 --> 01:02:38

itself, the floor is open.

01:02:39 --> 01:02:41

We do reserve the fact that, this is

01:02:41 --> 01:02:42

not a political gathering.

01:02:43 --> 01:02:45

If anybody has burning political questions, this is

01:02:45 --> 01:02:46

not the right,

01:02:47 --> 01:02:48

gathering. This is a new Muslim corner,

01:02:49 --> 01:02:51

but floor is open for any questions.

01:02:56 --> 01:02:58

What do what should Muslims do when they

01:02:58 --> 01:03:00

have a pet that dies? Like, how do

01:03:00 --> 01:03:03

they deal with body and yeah.

01:03:04 --> 01:03:04

Yeah.

01:03:05 --> 01:03:05

Basically,

01:03:07 --> 01:03:09

it is basically disposed of,

01:03:11 --> 01:03:13

and, it's not necessarily has to be, you

01:03:13 --> 01:03:14

know, some people just,

01:03:15 --> 01:03:17

emotionally, you know, bury,

01:03:17 --> 01:03:19

you know, the animal. There's nothing wrong with

01:03:19 --> 01:03:22

doing that. But it's not required, to do

01:03:22 --> 01:03:22

that. But if if the animal is very

01:03:22 --> 01:03:23

close, you know, to the person, they they

01:03:23 --> 01:03:24

might want to bury the animal,

01:03:29 --> 01:03:30

like that. But but it's not it's not

01:03:30 --> 01:03:32

required. It's basically disposed of however

01:03:33 --> 01:03:35

you would dispose of. So there's no, like,

01:03:35 --> 01:03:37

Islamic? No. There's no specific.

01:03:37 --> 01:03:40

How about giving food to pets? Like, I

01:03:40 --> 01:03:41

had a hard time

01:03:42 --> 01:03:44

for my cat reading all the ingredients,

01:03:45 --> 01:03:46

Make sure there's

01:03:47 --> 01:03:47

okay.

01:03:48 --> 01:03:51

So is it applicable for cats and dogs?

01:03:51 --> 01:03:53

Yeah. I mean, the the there's no halal

01:03:53 --> 01:03:55

food for dogs and cats. Right? Right. It

01:03:55 --> 01:03:57

doesn't say halal. The halal is not like

01:03:57 --> 01:03:59

the same for us. Although,

01:03:59 --> 01:04:01

we believe that halal is something good.

01:04:02 --> 01:04:04

And if you love your cat, especially your

01:04:04 --> 01:04:05

cat,

01:04:05 --> 01:04:07

then you would wanna give it something good,

01:04:07 --> 01:04:08

but you don't have to follow the strict

01:04:08 --> 01:04:11

thing. They say, okay, You know, gelatin or,

01:04:11 --> 01:04:12

you know, whatever. You know, you don't have

01:04:12 --> 01:04:14

to follow the halal,

01:04:14 --> 01:04:16

standards like that, you know, for, you know,

01:04:16 --> 01:04:18

cats. But we naturally

01:04:18 --> 01:04:20

want to give good things.

01:04:21 --> 01:04:24

So you would naturally give good things, you

01:04:24 --> 01:04:25

know, to, you know, to animals, but they

01:04:25 --> 01:04:27

don't have the same

01:04:27 --> 01:04:30

Halal standards, you know, as human beings.

01:04:30 --> 01:04:32

You don't have to follow that.

01:04:32 --> 01:04:33

Yeah.

01:04:35 --> 01:04:37

Yeah. When people make du'a,

01:04:38 --> 01:04:39

they hold their hands out. Right. Like, this

01:04:39 --> 01:04:41

is on the corner of their faces and

01:04:41 --> 01:04:44

their wives after du'a. Why is that? Okay.

01:04:45 --> 01:04:47

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon

01:04:47 --> 01:04:48

him, would,

01:04:49 --> 01:04:50

the basic prayer

01:04:51 --> 01:04:52

you do begins with takbir. You start your

01:04:52 --> 01:04:54

prayer like this in the takbir,

01:04:54 --> 01:04:56

and you end in the sitting position with

01:04:56 --> 01:04:57

with taslim.

01:04:59 --> 01:05:01

That is when you say Islam alaikum, you

01:05:01 --> 01:05:02

know, Islam. That's the end of the prayer.

01:05:03 --> 01:05:05

So your formal prayer is over.

01:05:06 --> 01:05:08

Now what you do after the prayer,

01:05:10 --> 01:05:12

you can get up and walk away.

01:05:12 --> 01:05:15

Generally speaking, you know, people who have

01:05:15 --> 01:05:17

understanding don't just run away from the prayer.

01:05:18 --> 01:05:20

They will stay, and there are certain,

01:05:22 --> 01:05:22

remembrances

01:05:23 --> 01:05:25

that the prophet used to say after the

01:05:25 --> 01:05:25

prayers.

01:05:26 --> 01:05:28

So people would you know, people read these

01:05:28 --> 01:05:29

things, you know, like that.

01:05:30 --> 01:05:31

But if you have to go right away,

01:05:31 --> 01:05:32

you can go right away.

01:05:33 --> 01:05:36

What has developed also at certain points, at

01:05:36 --> 01:05:37

certain times,

01:05:37 --> 01:05:38

he raised his hands.

01:05:39 --> 01:05:41

In the most serious situations,

01:05:42 --> 01:05:44

it is reported that he raised his hands.

01:05:44 --> 01:05:47

And especially in Isthiskal, which is for prayer

01:05:47 --> 01:05:49

for rain, he even raised it like this.

01:05:51 --> 01:05:53

Okay? But he did not raise it

01:05:54 --> 01:05:55

every single prayer.

01:05:56 --> 01:05:59

Like, if you what is developed culturally,

01:06:00 --> 01:06:01

it's a culture.

01:06:01 --> 01:06:03

It's not even the schools of thought. It's

01:06:03 --> 01:06:04

not the imams.

01:06:05 --> 01:06:07

It's not like Abu Hanifa said after every

01:06:07 --> 01:06:08

prayer you do this. No.

01:06:09 --> 01:06:10

It developed culturally

01:06:11 --> 01:06:12

that in some cultures,

01:06:12 --> 01:06:14

they end the prayer immediately.

01:06:15 --> 01:06:17

You know this? And then they they do

01:06:17 --> 01:06:19

that and some even go like that. That

01:06:19 --> 01:06:21

is more of a cultural thing.

01:06:22 --> 01:06:23

Okay? It's not actually,

01:06:24 --> 01:06:26

you know, from the prophet. And if somebody

01:06:26 --> 01:06:27

does it

01:06:28 --> 01:06:29

with good intention,

01:06:30 --> 01:06:32

it's not considered by the scholars to be

01:06:32 --> 01:06:33

something evil.

01:06:34 --> 01:06:37

Okay? However, if the person does it thinking

01:06:37 --> 01:06:39

it's part of the prayer

01:06:41 --> 01:06:43

and your prayer is not complete without it,

01:06:43 --> 01:06:45

then that would be what is called bidah.

01:06:46 --> 01:06:47

That would be an innovation.

01:06:49 --> 01:06:50

But if somebody does it, it's not

01:06:51 --> 01:06:54

an evil thing. What has happened today, people

01:06:54 --> 01:06:57

split hairs, and they get into this thing,

01:06:57 --> 01:06:58

you know, whatever. But, you know, it's it's

01:06:58 --> 01:07:00

it's a good intention. You're praying to Allah.

01:07:00 --> 01:07:01

Right?

01:07:01 --> 01:07:03

You're you're you're asking, so there's nothing wrong

01:07:03 --> 01:07:05

with it. But you don't have to do

01:07:05 --> 01:07:07

that. You can make dua without raising your

01:07:07 --> 01:07:07

hand.

01:07:09 --> 01:07:10

So I know I don't know what verse

01:07:10 --> 01:07:10

is, but in the front, it says, like,

01:07:10 --> 01:07:11

remember Allah. I'm not gonna translations

01:07:11 --> 01:07:12

I've

01:07:12 --> 01:07:13

seen,

01:07:13 --> 01:07:14

it

01:07:14 --> 01:07:15

says

01:07:15 --> 01:07:16

laying

01:07:17 --> 01:07:17

on

01:07:18 --> 01:07:18

your

01:07:19 --> 01:07:19

side.

01:07:20 --> 01:07:22

So is there a specific, like, ruling against,

01:07:22 --> 01:07:24

like, lying on your back?

01:07:25 --> 01:07:27

And you're supposed to be on your side

01:07:27 --> 01:07:28

or lying on your stomach.

01:07:29 --> 01:07:32

No. It's just a general thing that that

01:07:32 --> 01:07:34

you can remember Allah at different

01:07:34 --> 01:07:35

in different positions

01:07:36 --> 01:07:38

because you may be sitting down and, you

01:07:38 --> 01:07:41

know, sometimes some people can't stand up,

01:07:41 --> 01:07:43

so you can still remember Allah.

01:07:44 --> 01:07:46

Some people can't even sit up,

01:07:46 --> 01:07:48

so you can still. But if a person

01:07:48 --> 01:07:50

is in the condition where they're on their

01:07:50 --> 01:07:51

back and some people are and they can't

01:07:51 --> 01:07:53

even go on the side,

01:07:53 --> 01:07:55

then you can still remember Allah.

01:07:57 --> 01:07:59

Even you can remember Allah and some people

01:07:59 --> 01:08:01

have this condition where they're totally paralyzed and

01:08:01 --> 01:08:03

they can only move their eyes.

01:08:04 --> 01:08:06

You can remember Allah only with your eyes.

01:08:07 --> 01:08:09

So there's no ruling about

01:08:10 --> 01:08:12

being on the back. That's just a general,

01:08:13 --> 01:08:15

you know, picture of in other words, in

01:08:15 --> 01:08:17

any position you can remember on that.

01:08:22 --> 01:08:24

Some people wear pendants

01:08:25 --> 01:08:28

of gold or Allahu Yeah. Than idol cuisine.

01:08:29 --> 01:08:29

Right.

01:08:30 --> 01:08:30

Is it permissible?

01:08:31 --> 01:08:34

Yes. We sort of covered this in this

01:08:34 --> 01:08:35

class in the first, you know, part of

01:08:35 --> 01:08:36

the year.

01:08:37 --> 01:08:38

The prophet, peace be upon him, you know,

01:08:38 --> 01:08:38

he used to take the Arabs used to

01:08:38 --> 01:08:39

put, this amulets around their neck,

01:08:45 --> 01:08:47

and they would put it on their animals.

01:08:48 --> 01:08:49

Okay. It was like,

01:08:50 --> 01:08:53

a superstitious amulet to ward off evil.

01:08:55 --> 01:08:57

Okay? And they used to give power to

01:08:57 --> 01:08:58

this thing,

01:08:59 --> 01:09:00

and they would put different they would write

01:09:00 --> 01:09:01

different things.

01:09:02 --> 01:09:03

And so he used to go around and

01:09:03 --> 01:09:04

tear it off.

01:09:06 --> 01:09:08

And he said, whoever hangs this thing, that

01:09:08 --> 01:09:09

will become your lord.

01:09:10 --> 01:09:12

So don't do this.

01:09:13 --> 01:09:15

So later on, out of culture,

01:09:16 --> 01:09:17

some people,

01:09:18 --> 01:09:19

hang certain things.

01:09:19 --> 01:09:21

And, you know, basically,

01:09:22 --> 01:09:24

you know, if a person has a pendant

01:09:24 --> 01:09:24

or

01:09:25 --> 01:09:27

a ring or something with the name of

01:09:27 --> 01:09:29

Allah or, you know, something odd. There's nothing

01:09:29 --> 01:09:30

wrong with that.

01:09:31 --> 01:09:33

The only thing is if it's in Arabic,

01:09:33 --> 01:09:34

the name of Allah, you can't wear it

01:09:34 --> 01:09:35

into the toilet.

01:09:36 --> 01:09:37

You

01:09:37 --> 01:09:38

have to take it off.

01:09:39 --> 01:09:41

You cannot enter into the washroom area,

01:09:42 --> 01:09:44

you know, with that on. And, also, if

01:09:44 --> 01:09:46

the person in other words, they do it

01:09:46 --> 01:09:47

out of beautification.

01:09:49 --> 01:09:50

So just as a nice piece of jewelry,

01:09:51 --> 01:09:53

then there's nothing wrong with that. But if

01:09:53 --> 01:09:55

the person feels that this thing is protecting

01:09:55 --> 01:09:55

them,

01:09:57 --> 01:09:57

right,

01:09:58 --> 01:10:00

then that's that's what's wrong. It has to

01:10:00 --> 01:10:03

be bad. Yeah. That would be actually a

01:10:03 --> 01:10:04

form of shirk,

01:10:05 --> 01:10:06

polytheism,

01:10:06 --> 01:10:08

because you're giving power to this thing. And

01:10:08 --> 01:10:10

people have these bangles and

01:10:10 --> 01:10:12

these things that they wear,

01:10:13 --> 01:10:14

you know, and,

01:10:14 --> 01:10:15

they they

01:10:16 --> 01:10:18

and I remember in the Jami mas days

01:10:18 --> 01:10:19

and, you know, I even brought this out

01:10:19 --> 01:10:21

to the people and I said the prophet

01:10:21 --> 01:10:22

said, you know, get rid of these things.

01:10:23 --> 01:10:24

I said to the people,

01:10:24 --> 01:10:26

you know, so get rid of them. 1

01:10:26 --> 01:10:27

brother, you know, stood up and said, you

01:10:27 --> 01:10:29

know, I wear this thing all the time.

01:10:30 --> 01:10:32

Yeah. In the shower, I wear it.

01:10:33 --> 01:10:35

You know, like, he believes in this thing.

01:10:35 --> 01:10:36

Right?

01:10:37 --> 01:10:38

Okay. And he said, you know, we wear

01:10:38 --> 01:10:41

this thing even some of us wear it

01:10:41 --> 01:10:42

and the bullets bounce off.

01:10:44 --> 01:10:46

So I said, what happened to you in

01:10:46 --> 01:10:47

the colonial period, man?

01:10:48 --> 01:10:50

The French, you know, colonized you.

01:10:50 --> 01:10:51

Didn't work. Right?

01:10:53 --> 01:10:54

What is this?

01:10:55 --> 01:10:56

Not possible.

01:10:57 --> 01:10:59

So it's it's based on intentions,

01:11:00 --> 01:11:02

you know, that the person has. Thank you.

01:11:02 --> 01:11:03

Yeah.

01:11:04 --> 01:11:07

In terms of making voodoo, I know some

01:11:07 --> 01:11:09

people make blue over their socks

01:11:11 --> 01:11:13

special, like, leather sock or something to be

01:11:13 --> 01:11:15

able to do that. What's the actual,

01:11:16 --> 01:11:18

like, the Yeah. I mean, this this is

01:11:18 --> 01:11:19

getting a little bit deep. I mean, this

01:11:19 --> 01:11:21

is not an everyday fit class. Right? I

01:11:21 --> 01:11:22

know. I thought you just opened it up.

01:11:22 --> 01:11:24

Right. Right. Yeah. You but now you're opening

01:11:24 --> 01:11:25

it right.

01:11:26 --> 01:11:28

Basically, you know, we make wudu on our

01:11:28 --> 01:11:30

skin. However, it was permissible.

01:11:31 --> 01:11:33

They used to wear a leather, you know,

01:11:33 --> 01:11:35

sock. And, you know, it is permissible. There

01:11:35 --> 01:11:37

were some occasions where they had a type

01:11:37 --> 01:11:37

of,

01:11:39 --> 01:11:41

you know, heavy a sock,

01:11:41 --> 01:11:44

you know, a a thick sock where water

01:11:44 --> 01:11:46

not see through type of sock, and they

01:11:46 --> 01:11:47

did rub over the sock.

01:11:48 --> 01:11:51

So it is made permissible by some of

01:11:51 --> 01:11:51

the scholars.

01:11:52 --> 01:11:53

They permit that.

01:11:54 --> 01:11:56

But it shouldn't be nylon see through

01:11:57 --> 01:11:59

type of thing. It would have to be

01:11:59 --> 01:12:01

something that is fairly

01:12:01 --> 01:12:02

solid

01:12:03 --> 01:12:03

of a sock

01:12:04 --> 01:12:05

to wipe over.

01:12:06 --> 01:12:07

And that really makes sense for us here

01:12:07 --> 01:12:10

in Canada because when you're outside and

01:12:10 --> 01:12:12

you gotta make wudu and it's minus 10

01:12:12 --> 01:12:13

degrees,

01:12:14 --> 01:12:14

you know,

01:12:15 --> 01:12:17

it is, you know, better to be able

01:12:17 --> 01:12:18

to wipe over your thick sock.

01:12:19 --> 01:12:20

If you take off your, you know, your

01:12:20 --> 01:12:22

your socks and put water on it, you

01:12:22 --> 01:12:23

know, you might die

01:12:24 --> 01:12:26

in some countries. Right? So Some sisters, they

01:12:26 --> 01:12:27

don't listen.

01:12:28 --> 01:12:29

I told so many sisters,

01:12:30 --> 01:12:32

they are still taking off the socks and,

01:12:32 --> 01:12:34

you know, make a mess.

01:12:35 --> 01:12:37

So they said, no. Who told you?

01:12:37 --> 01:12:38

Right.

01:12:38 --> 01:12:41

Again, it's different opinion, but people get fanatic

01:12:41 --> 01:12:43

based on their school of thought. Like, you

01:12:43 --> 01:12:45

know, they get a little bit fanatic sometimes.

01:12:46 --> 01:12:47

Yeah.

01:12:49 --> 01:12:52

Any other, general questions in here? So Fudger

01:12:52 --> 01:12:55

pre tour cuts, they're here for us,

01:12:55 --> 01:12:58

sir, 4, mother 3, Isha, 4.

01:12:58 --> 01:13:00

So, like, what's the significance of the differences

01:13:00 --> 01:13:02

in their cuts? And then also for Joomla,

01:13:02 --> 01:13:04

why are we going to pray to Yeah.

01:13:04 --> 01:13:06

I mean, it's it's all based upon the

01:13:06 --> 01:13:08

angel, you know, Gabriel, what he he taught

01:13:08 --> 01:13:09

the prophet how to pray

01:13:10 --> 01:13:12

And, you know, the amounts and the timings,

01:13:13 --> 01:13:14

it's based upon the angel.

01:13:15 --> 01:13:17

So that's where we get it from, directly

01:13:17 --> 01:13:18

from the prophet.

01:13:19 --> 01:13:20

And the the 2 And and the same

01:13:20 --> 01:13:23

thing for Jumuah. We we learned that directly

01:13:23 --> 01:13:24

from the prophet himself.

01:13:25 --> 01:13:26

How to do the Jumuah. Is it possible

01:13:27 --> 01:13:28

to combine

01:13:29 --> 01:13:30

the salah like,

01:13:30 --> 01:13:31

or

01:13:31 --> 01:13:33

isha or Asir? Like, if I'm going to

01:13:33 --> 01:13:33

the meeting,

01:13:34 --> 01:13:36

and I know I will miss my salah.

01:13:36 --> 01:13:38

I won't be able to pray on time.

01:13:38 --> 01:13:39

Yeah. So I combine,

01:13:40 --> 01:13:43

and Asir. Is it okay? Oh. I feel

01:13:43 --> 01:13:43

guilty.

01:13:44 --> 01:13:46

But Yeah. I mean, you know, combining your

01:13:47 --> 01:13:48

combining prayers

01:13:48 --> 01:13:50

was done in the time of the prophet

01:13:50 --> 01:13:51

when you are traveling.

01:13:52 --> 01:13:54

No. I'm not traveling. It's just I I

01:13:54 --> 01:13:57

am No. I mean, what the the yeah.

01:13:57 --> 01:13:58

There is one hadith

01:13:59 --> 01:14:01

in Sahih Muslim, which is, which is a

01:14:01 --> 01:14:04

a a, you know, set of hadiths. They

01:14:04 --> 01:14:05

say it's the least

01:14:05 --> 01:14:06

used hadith.

01:14:06 --> 01:14:08

And it is that one of the great

01:14:08 --> 01:14:10

companions, I think it was Abdulaziz Mas'ura,

01:14:11 --> 01:14:13

One of them that he, he combined

01:14:13 --> 01:14:14

Doha

01:14:15 --> 01:14:16

and Assa,

01:14:17 --> 01:14:18

you know, and it wasn't,

01:14:18 --> 01:14:21

heavy rain because it's allowed to combine if

01:14:21 --> 01:14:22

it's heavy rainstorm or snowstorm.

01:14:24 --> 01:14:26

It's also allowed to combine if if there's

01:14:26 --> 01:14:28

war, there's fighting or something.

01:14:29 --> 01:14:30

And it wasn't there was no war, there

01:14:30 --> 01:14:32

was no rain, and he combined.

01:14:34 --> 01:14:37

So it is possible on occasion, you could

01:14:37 --> 01:14:37

combine

01:14:38 --> 01:14:38

the Horonassa

01:14:39 --> 01:14:41

and Maghre B'nisha on occasion

01:14:41 --> 01:14:42

Yeah.

01:14:42 --> 01:14:44

If you're really in trouble,

01:14:45 --> 01:14:46

but you shouldn't make a habit out of

01:14:46 --> 01:14:47

it.

01:14:48 --> 01:14:49

No. If you make a habit out of

01:14:49 --> 01:14:50

it, that is wrong.

01:14:51 --> 01:14:54

Sometimes people are stuck, especially when the times

01:14:54 --> 01:14:54

change

01:14:55 --> 01:14:57

and you're on the 401 and this place

01:14:57 --> 01:14:58

is like a parking lot now.

01:14:59 --> 01:15:01

And and and and you can't

01:15:01 --> 01:15:02

get

01:15:02 --> 01:15:03

home in time to make us.

01:15:05 --> 01:15:07

So in some cases, you can, you know,

01:15:07 --> 01:15:07

combine,

01:15:08 --> 01:15:10

you know, you know, your your prayers. But

01:15:10 --> 01:15:12

it shouldn't be done like a regular. Only

01:15:12 --> 01:15:14

when you're traveling or when

01:15:14 --> 01:15:16

there's a terrible storm or in a case

01:15:16 --> 01:15:17

of war.

01:15:21 --> 01:15:23

Any questions online, anybody have?

01:15:26 --> 01:15:27

What

01:15:28 --> 01:15:30

is your opinion on the study of the

01:15:30 --> 01:15:31

Quran

01:15:32 --> 01:15:34

and also holy Quran by Noor

01:15:36 --> 01:15:36

Foundation.

01:15:37 --> 01:15:39

That particular book,

01:15:39 --> 01:15:41

the study of the Quran, I'm not sure

01:15:41 --> 01:15:42

about that book.

01:15:43 --> 01:15:44

I I couldn't

01:15:45 --> 01:15:45

couldn't.

01:15:45 --> 01:15:47

Is there any particular perspective

01:15:48 --> 01:15:50

relative to the different form of recitation

01:15:55 --> 01:15:56

recitation?

01:15:56 --> 01:15:58

Yeah. So, I mean, there's there's different ways,

01:15:59 --> 01:16:00

you know, that it was read according

01:16:01 --> 01:16:03

to tongues, you know, of the Arabs,

01:16:04 --> 01:16:06

you know, whatnot at that time, and it's

01:16:06 --> 01:16:07

a science.

01:16:07 --> 01:16:09

So there's nothing wrong with the different

01:16:09 --> 01:16:12

ways of reading. There there are some codified,

01:16:13 --> 01:16:16

well known ways of reading. The Quran itself

01:16:16 --> 01:16:17

doesn't really change the, you know, the meaning

01:16:17 --> 01:16:18

massively,

01:16:18 --> 01:16:21

but some some slight pronunciations of the all

01:16:21 --> 01:16:23

of them are correct, you know, those who

01:16:23 --> 01:16:25

are well known schools of reading. There's nothing

01:16:25 --> 01:16:26

wrong.

01:16:27 --> 01:16:28

K. So alhamdulillah,

01:16:28 --> 01:16:31

we will continue on, next week,

01:16:31 --> 01:16:34

with our class, Insha'Allah, and we will look

01:16:34 --> 01:16:34

at,

01:16:35 --> 01:16:37

once the revelation came, who were the believers?

01:16:38 --> 01:16:40

Who were those who believed,

01:16:40 --> 01:16:41

and what happened to them,

01:16:42 --> 01:16:45

when the message came. Again, understanding,

01:16:45 --> 01:16:48

this man that we should know prophet Muhammad

01:16:48 --> 01:16:50

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. The more you get

01:16:50 --> 01:16:52

to know him is the more you would

01:16:52 --> 01:16:54

accept him as a messenger of Allah. So

01:16:54 --> 01:16:56

I leave you with these thoughts.
