When Allah subhanho wa Taala is the one who assumed responsibility
for its protection, it's going to remain protected until the Day of
Judgment, as opposed to the Torah. For example, He told the Jewish
rabbis, the Jewish rabbis, he told him to look after it. He says
that's what Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran
Yeah, goon will be Hannah be Yun, a Latina Islam only Latina her do.
And then it continues, says be Mustapha zoom in kita villa, we
must stop Fiume in kita Billa, which is a surah Taha either Allah
says that the their prophets because they had many prophets,
there was one prophet for each tribe in among the among the,
among the Bani Israel. So they used to judge by the Torah, the
prophets, those who had submitted of those who had become
who have the hood. And then at the end, he says be Mr. Phil zoom in
kita Billa because of the responsibility given to them of
preserving the book of Allah. So there is that whereas for the
Quran, Allah says, We have taken that responsibility. So there's a
clear difference. However, unfortunately, they changed they
interpolated the mixed and matched, they moved things around,
and they switched things from their place, and they added
Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem
hamdulillah Nabilone, Amin
salatu salam ala, so even more saline.
While he was here, Baraka was seldom at the Sleeman get Iran to
meet Dean another.
The author of the book excited speaking about the virtues of the
Holy Quran.
And he had said that, though they were renewed signs of truth from
the merciful proceeded time itself their quality is that of Him who
is eternal saying that this book came from Allah subhanahu wa Tada
and this is the speech of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada Lam doctor in
bizza Murnane we're here to be Rona O'Neill Mariah divine ID one
Hiromi unlinking and link to time they give us news of Judgement Day
of either an aroma as well.
That's how much we have covered last time. Now he continues with
speaking about the miracle of the Quran, and he touches some really,
really important points about the Quran.
He says the medina Fatah Kula merges certain meaning Bina is
just welcome to do me Mahakam turn firmer to clean I mean shuba hin
lithiation Shinnecock in warmer Dublin I mean heck me my hoodie
but to Ihlara them in Hello Ben. That the the LI Maliki salami rod
that Bella over to her that were more I read
a lot that Bella how to more ready her Rodell her Uriah the journey I
kneel Harami
Maha Moran in Komodo Al Baghdadi, FEMA that in Woolfolk or Joe
hurry, he Phil Hosni will clear me.
So these are all descriptions of the Quran different aspects of the
Quran, he sang constantly with us. Above every minute miracle of
prophets of old, which came and went
clear and strong. The signs leave no doubt to be stirred up by the
mischievous and need no arbiter
whenever attacked, the most bitter of their foes returned from the
fray begging to submit.
The eloquence roots the enemy's claims as a zealous man protects
his wife from an assailant, meaning they have like the wide
sea is waves the beauty and worth more precious than the oceans
treasures.
What does he mean by that? So just to put it in brief, what he says
is, the Quran has been constantly with us, its miracle has been
constantly with us,
above every other miracle of any other prophets, which was only
time specific and limited to the time the Quran continues, whereas
the other prophets miracles have ended. They came and went, but the
Quran still continues. In it, it is clear and strong. It's so clear
and strong. There is no doubt in it. It leaves no doubt.
So it doesn't give any food to anyone to raise doubts about the
Quran and
prove their doubts.
And then he says whenever attacked, whenever the Quran is
criticized or attacked,
then even the bitterest
For the bitterest enemy who's attacked the Quran, will
eventually have to return and submit
the eloquence of the Quran, its word, its speech, its effect is so
strong
that it will route the enemy's claims just as a zealous man
protects his wife from someone who may want to attack her.
So the Quran is is jealous over its authenticity
as a man is or should be over his wife.
The Quran has many meanings, like the wide seas waves, so many the
beauty and worth more precious than the oceans treasures. So
that's what it's just trying to allude to all the great things
about the Quran. Now, of course, this is a poem in which he
encompasses all of these things we have to know unravel it. There's
another interesting point from Maulana Muhammad nano tweet. He
says if we compare the prophets to a rose, then you are all the
fragrance of that rose.
If you compare the prophets to a rose, then you are all a fragrance
of that rose. If they are like the shining sun of day, then you are
as it's glorious, golden ray.
Eunice Emory, who's very famous, one of the most famous you know,
like Allah Akbar is very famous for Pakistan, and for all to do.
Eunice Emery was much earlier, and he's one of the best Turkish
poets. He says Allah made Muhammad for love of mankind.
Allah made Muhammad for love of mankind. Allah loves the people
and that's why he gave us Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
loving the faithful he made the early or the Allah one. Without
the Quran to the unseen were blind.
Eunice is drunken from that jewels. See?
So he's speaking about Himself that
He is drunk with that sea of the Quran. And it's that's the only
permissible way to become drunk. By the way. It's only the one of
the permissible, right they use this metaphor of being drunk is
used quite a bit in poetry, because it shows that this is the
permissible drunkenness people genuinely want other forms of
drunkenness of this world, temporary forms of drunkenness. So
that's why Fuzu Lee says they rising to God proved the lofty
degree
descending to Earth his own word greeted the
so you going up on the Mirage is addressing Rasul allah sallallahu
Sallam that you are sending. You prove the lofty degree because
there's no other prophet that went up as whereas will allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam went.
Lissa Nadine Abdel Hakim says when the verses of the book have sung
your praise, no eulogy of mine your rank conveys when Allah's
book itself speaks about the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam I can say what I want from my tongue, there is no way that I
can express the position of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam when
the Quran itself has has done so.
So now,
the first part of this when he says Dermot ladina for Farcot,
Columbo, he says in the Quran remains with us. It has surpassed
all other miracles of the prophets men and Sabina is welcome to do
me, all the other prophets, because it has come and it has
never ended and will never end. So that's what he's saying from here.
When you go to when you look at all of the other prophets and
their
miracles, and there were many, some we know about many we don't
know about, we only know of some some of them we only know about 25
to 35 prophets names. That's all we know about this about 25
mentioned in the Quran, there's some additional ones mentioned the
Hadith. So we know about that much. But there we know from a
hadith is about 124,000 prophets. And each prophet was given a
miracle of some sort of the other some we know about some we don't
know about. But the thing about all of these miracles is that
despite how many there were, they've all gone, you can't see
them anymore. There is no
there's nothing remaining of them, because they were timed miracles,
they came at a particular time they were displayed. And then they
went the people who saw it, they benefited from it, and others
didn't see it. So they were not meant to be permanent. With the
Quran. It's meant to be a permanent miracle. There were
many, many other miracles of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wasallam, that were also like the miracles of the other prophets
like water coming out of his finger, and many, many, many other
things reaching the moon etc, etc. Again, they were temporary
miracles in a sense, but the Quran is that one miracle which is not
like that. It is supposed to endure and remain in its form as
it is. So
A lot of people ask, well, how can you prove that the Quran is still
in its original form? This is when when we make this claim, many non
Muslims will ask this question. And many Muslims won't even know
the reason. Well, one of the reason that the biggest reason is
the fact that you can go to the oldest surviving copies of the
Quran, and you will see that they're exactly the same minus the
additions that people have put on in terms of valving. You know,
your how to pronounce it, the lettering is all the same, because
the earliest writings of the Quran, they didn't have Fatah
Khasra Dhamma the vowels, and neither did they have the dots
because in the tangle of sort of allah sallallahu sallam, and just
afterwards, for a while, they read with,
without dots, they could understand the difference between
a beta and theta 1.2 Dots, three dots up down, they could
understand that without looking at that, we'd be hugely confused by
that. But they could read it like that. It was they say, had
judgment to use it was the first to add these things. And Hajaj was
in the time of Abdulmalik number one, which is the Omega period. So
that's around after between 40 and 70, Hijiri. Around that time. So
very soon after, within the first 100 years, the dots had been
added, anyway, because Islam spread beyond the Arabian
Peninsula, and now people who are coming into Islam, you couldn't
expect them to know these things. Because a lot of it was apparently
through intuition, just to be able to figure out and which word is
being used here, and so on. So aside from that, you'll notice and
then somebody could say, well, these earliest ones, they've been
forged as well, well, no, they haven't. Because if you go, for
example, just as an example, you go to Cambridge University
Library, they have some fragments of some of the earliest Quranic
writings of the earliest on pages of the Quran. So you've got non
Muslim institutions around the world that have some of the
earliest collections of parts of it, and you can use that to
verify. So it's not some huge conspiracy, that we've been able
to forge old documents you can do your own carbon dating, and so on
and so forth. So that's just to know because people will ask you,
if you ever say that it's 1400 years and how do you prove it? So
these are some of the reasons and one of the main reasons is very
clearly as Allah says, In the Quran, the proof this is proof for
us though, because you can't use Scripture as proof for an
unbeliever. They don't believe in the Scripture in the first place.
So how can you use the ayat from the Quran to prove to them right
in unison vichara in the hula, half you learn we are, we have
revealed this remembrance and we are its protectors and the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said this hadith in Sahih, Muslim, the
prophets, Allah some said, Ma'am, in the bdn Illa look at ot
Mermin Nabhi and Illa Whoa, tmrw Mithra who am and Allah Hill
Bashar
any profit that has come before so this is from Rasulullah sallallahu
Sallam is saying that every prophet that came,
there was not a single one, except that he was given. So every
prophet that came was given a miracle.
What he didn't say miracle, he said he was given something by
which
people started helped help people believe in that has to be miracles
in general. And then he says, we're in nama. We're in America
and let the tea to who was in Oh, hello, who Ilya what I have been
given in this regard is a ye a revelation. So all the other
miracles were there as well but the one which I have been given is
the way for our zoo. And then the price was an add something he says
for Urdu and Hakuna axon turbine yarmulke Yama, that I have this
hope that I will have the greatest following on the day of judgment
based on this. Because when the miracle continues to impact and
effects, then you're going to get more and more followers. And
that's why the miracle of the Quran cuts through this darkness
of deception that is being spread around. And this animosity and
hatred
that people spread around Islam, still through this darkness of it,
people who are looking for the lights, they will they will find
it because the Quran illuminates through that darkness. And that's
why as much as people may, and as much as the media may say things
that the sincere ones will find. And of course, if you say well,
why doesn't everybody find it? Well, that's never been the case
even during Rasul Allah the last time and Allah says very clearly
in the Quran that if I wanted, I could have put you all on the same
belief. But that's not the point. The point is to give us the
choice. That's the whole aspect of having free will is to have that
choice. So based on this hadith and the Quranic verse, it goes to
show that
it's going to remain protected until the Day of Judgment. Not
only is it going to remain protected, it's going to remain
relevant. It's going to remain effective. It's going to remain a
proof
hookah and it's vs will be clear cut and will continue to cut
through the darkness as much darkness as they may be, until the
day comes when the words of the Quran will be lifted from the
copies or from whatever, whatever gadget you're you're reading your
Quran at that time.
So, the Quran is still open to challenge, it's, it continues to
challenge as it did to the earliest people who received it,
or among whom it was revealed, it continues to do that, through its
eloquence through its effectiveness through its clarity,
through its prophecies through every aspect of the Quran, we
actually have a coverage a lecture hold by on on the way the Quran is
a miracle on Zoom academy.com. So I'm not going to repeat all of
that here. But the whole point is that it's still the way it is,
yes, there are many people who try to challenge it. And there are
different people at different degrees who try to do this in
different ways. However, nobody's ever come with something that has
been conclusively conclusively effective, and has been able to
challenge any aspect of it, there's been many challenges, no
doubt about that, from the terminal sudo Allah allows them to
later on, but it doesn't come about because it just merely
listening to it, especially for those who understand Arabic, it
affects them. It affects those people who don't understand
Arabic, they find it so beautiful, just the Arabic wording and the
way it flows, and its cadence, and it's the joy that it gives you its
beautiful sound, which is a whole different science on its own to
discover the sounds of the Quran, the melody of the Quran, that's
all different science on its own beyond the fear of the Quran, to
match the sound to what it's saying. That's a whole different
subject.
Now, the question is that there are some people who even
challenged the Quran in terms of trying to produce something like
it. But all it ended up being was they made they made a mockery of
themselves. Because it was too simplistic in its form, there's no
way that they could combine profaned profundity of the meaning
with, with the effectiveness and eloquence of the language, and its
succinct nature, there is no way they could add all of these three
things together, you could have very profound meaning. But you'd
have to have too many words to to express it. Or you could express
something in short amount of words, but there's no meaning in
there. It's quite a simplistic idea that you're providing,
whereas the Quran, it provides all of these things and combines all
of these things together. So is the symbiosis of all of these
things in perfection? It is absolute perfect model in this
regard. So then the question is that we still have the Taurat and
Injeel.
They still survive, but they have been corrupted. So why can what's
the word that is also the word of Allah? They will also the word of
Allah. So what happened there? And what happens here? And why the
difference? So a very interesting answer to that. Because the
question is that they all Allah's words, so Why did Allah preserve
one and not the other? Well for them, for that you have to
understand history that Allah sent those in history, to be followed
up by another shittier, another prophet, another messenger other,
another system, another scripture. So there's no relevance of
bringing a new scripture if an old one continues to be applicable. So
Allah allowed to happen, what happened with them, because of the
nature he left it to the people in that one, but for the last one,
because he wanted to endure for all time, because there was no
profit to follow and no other scripture to come. He decided that
I want to preserve this one myself. So the clear answer is
that the Torah and the Injeel, etc, Allah subhanho wa Taala did
not send them down to be a miracle. That's the best answer to
this, one of the best, which is that it's Allah did not send them
down to be a miracle, to challenge. He sent them down the
biannual acha mashallah I learned ages, it was not to challenge and
be an inimitable miracle, but rather it was just to give them
the laws that applied to them. It was just to give them their
Sharia. So when that time when people corrupted it, then then
then Allah subhanaw taala said, No, we need the new scripture. So
that was a different reason. Whereas for the Quran, Allah
subhanaw taala didn't send it down just for gum and laws and before
for teaching and for element for the knowledge and for guidance,
but it was also just with its words, that's why it was so
special. And then that is why he sent it to a people who valued
speech. And they prided themselves on that speech and considered
everybody else to be speechless in that sense.
So
The wording is for ages, the meaning is for teaching. So the
meaning of the Quran is for the educational aspect and the
guidance aspect, but the wording that has been used has been
preserved in a particular way specifically for inevitability for
challenging. And that was the thing that's why one iron
will include a longer iron not just the iron confirming or one
because they say that the inimitably bility comes with
something like in our Dinah calcofluor Pharsalia Rebecca one
her inertia and Erica who will adore that's three short verses.
That's three short verses, or one large verse because that's the
minimum you must read in the Quran. So for example, there are
verses that are much shorter. There's mood harmattan one word as
a verse in Surah Terrafirma in Surah,
Al mudeford semana another, then he looked, then he saw you anybody
could say that. You use that in normal language, then he looked
from another. They say that anyway, that is not inimitable,
you need at least three short verses for inevitability, that
combination. Right? So
Allah subhanho wa taala, May He give us the Halawa and the
sweetness of its meaning. And Allah subhanho wa Taala give us
the secrets that it holds, may Allah open them up for us?
When Allah subhanho wa Taala is the one who assumed responsibility
for its protection, it's going to remain protected until the Day of
Judgment, as opposed to the Torah. For example, He told the Jewish
rabbis, the Jewish rabbis, he told them to look after it. He says
that's why Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran,
yeah, como be Hanabi Yun, a Latina, a slum, oh, Lin Latina
hurdle. And then it continues, says be Mustapha zoom in kita
villa, we must stop Fiume in kita Billa, which is uncertain ma ADA.
Allah says that the their prophets, because they had many
prophets, there was one prophet for each tribe in among the among
the, among the Bani Israel. So they used to judge by the Torah,
the prophets, those who had submitted of those who had become
who were of the hood. And then at the end, he says, Be Mr. Fizbo,
mean kita Billa, because of the responsibility given to them of
preserving the book of Allah. So there is that whereas for the
Quran, Allah says, We have taken that responsibility. So there's a
clear difference. However, unfortunately, they change, they
interpolated, they mixed and matched, they moved things around,
and they switched things from their place. And they added,
now there is a difference, there is a difference between among the
erla. As to, if you look at the Torah, Torah and the Injeel, as to
whether the words of ALLAH still remain within there.
And have they been corrupted? Or is it corrupted in the sense that
the words are still there, all the words of Allah there, but there's
just been other things added in between etc. So this is a very
interesting discussion, because we know that everybody agrees that
there's corruption there, that it's not as it was, everybody
agrees to that. Now the question that arises is that, what's the
level of corruption? And how is that corruption? Because if it's
the words of Allah, they should never be able to be changed. So
some people keep that in mind, that if it's the words of Allah,
they can never change. So that means all the words must be there,
but they've just been kind of separated and split up, something
added in between, or something added on, and thus it changes the
meaning. So the corruption is there, but exactly how and do the
original words remain? Some say yes, others say no, they don't
need the original words remain. Allah hasn't said that he will
protect it. Allah's original speech is His eternal speech,
which, which is with him, which has always been with him, and that
never corrupts, but the worldly manifestation in Hebrew of the
Torah, well, that's not, you know, that's open to this kind of
change, as Allah says, in the Quran. So anyway, there's a
difference of opinion among our orlimar as to what the how the
change is, but regardless, it's it's changed. The main thing is
that you can't receive the same kind of guidance from it. But
that's why we have to be careful with the our other with the other
scriptures is that if it says something that contradicts the
Quran, we can openly reject it. Because the Quran is supposed to
be that confirm of all of these things.
And if it's something that goes with the Quran, we can agree with
that and anything that we're doubtful as to whether it goes
against the goes then we have to remain silent because it may be
conducive with the Quran. We don't want to reject it because it's
still a book and that's why
You can't just get a Bible to throw it around.
There has to be some respect. Not that you know that within reason
there has to be respect for the Bible and the Torah. Because at
the end of the day, it has some words of Allah in there. And you
might say, well, it's translation or translation of translations of
translations the originals have gone well, let's find according to
many of our other Imam Muhammad, he considers, for example,
translation of the Quran to be the same as the Quran in terms of in
the Hanafi school, to touch the translation without wudu is also
not permissible. According to him and Muhammad a che Bernie because
it is so close to being the Quran, commentaries a different story,
many Allama agree that it's okay because they have more non Quran
than Quran. But when it comes to translate just pure just
translation with a few comments, maybe don't touch it with that
will do. So now the question that arises, what about giving it to
for our purposes? Well, you can't restrict the Quran.
You know, you can't not give it just because of that.
So what you have to do, there is generally what I do. And someone
might say that that's too much asking for too much. But generally
what I do, I just like to advise anybody to give the Quran to that,
look, we have this method where we touch it properly, you know, and
we wash up properly, etc. So I would just advise them, if they
can do something of that nature to a certain degree, they're not
responsible, in a sense, because they're not Muslim yet. And you
don't want to say no, and you're not going to give Quran to people
who are gonna throw it away. I mean, it'd be silly to do that in
the first place. So you're going to give it to somebody who's
interested in reading it. And anybody who's interested in
reading it is obviously then going to have some level of respect to
at least, maybe follow what you're saying, or at least clean their
hands and be of that I generally recommend that, although I'm sure
there are any of them, I will say you don't have to, because that's
making them responsible for something they're not responsible
for. So the Quran remains with us, it will never change, it will be
the same. And it's been 1400 years, it hasn't changed. It can
go another many 1000 years, however many left until they have
judgment, and it will continue to inspire because it is that
superior miracle that is inevitable and unchallengeable
over all other miracles, that is to endure until the Day of
Judgment, or Billahi tofi Then he says Mohaka imagine pharma to
clean them in shuba hint Lizzy shikaka and Walmart Abilene I
mean, hack me. So what that means is Mahakam at
Mohaka, Mohammed, their firm versus clear cut, no doubt or
ambiguity in them.
From A to Burkina means shebang. They don't leave any room for
doubt. They don't leave any room for doubt. Lee cockin.
For the one who wants to oppose, quarrel, debate fight about it.
For the one looking to criticize, they don't leave anything. Warmer
web. I mean, he could hack me. And it doesn't require an arbitrator
to deal with it because it is an arbitrator on its own. The Quran
is what provides its own judgments.
It's that superior book. So now, there's a number of questions that
will come to your mind as soon as we say that, we'll inshallah deal
with that. What he's saying here is that the verses of the Quran
are a very clear cut. And of course, Quran itself says that
there are certain verses which are ambiguous ambiguous, the reason
for those, but the other are the Amal Kitab Maka, Merton, who know
Makita, they are the clear cut versus there's hardly vertical
Kitab loughrea Buffy, there is no doubt, there is no confusion,
there's no contradiction from one place to the next.
There may be some superficial contradictions that you may notice
some apparent, but they can easily be reconciled when you go to
understand it. Because when you see that whenever you see a what
seems like a contradiction.
If some people think it's a contract, not everybody does. That
means the problem is with the person looking.
And they have proven that people will look at things, even simple
things differently. And they will come up with different judgments.
So you can have the same image and everybody looking at we look at it
differently.
The famous image that they give us of this staircase, where some
people see inverse the first time around, and some people see it the
other way around. And if you look carefully, then you can see it
both ways. But that's just the way things are nobody in this world
yet has been able to figure out human psyche. And what the mind
is, nobody has been able to do that. Nobody has been able to get
to the bottom of that. That is our own selves. Can you imagine it? So
what do we know? If we don't even know our own selves of the way our
subconscious
functions. So all of this psychoanalysis, and all of these,
psychodynamic, psychoanalysis, Freudian, you know, the
subconscious, the end and this that on the other, these are just
all theories, nobody's been able to get to an answer, okay? This,
if a person is feeling like this, then this is the reason.
For example, something very simple, there's a person who comes
to a doctor.
And he's got anxiety problems.
What's the reason he gets his, he started getting this anxiety. So
they take a history, they take his history of consultation, he
started a new job, he's had a new job for a while, and he likes that
job. So it's not like this demoralized that his job,
ethically, it's the wrong job, or it's too taxing whatever he
enjoys, that job is getting paid more, etc. There is no other
problems in his life. So why did you suddenly start getting anxiety
attacks, so everybody's scratching their head, they're wondering, you
know, they are looking for all lingering thoughts. And, you know,
they're trying to explain it in different ways, subconscious, and
this is something you're carrying from a young age. And now it's
given expression, there's something that's triggered, you
know, some kind of traumatic experience before all the you
know, all the analysis that these psychotherapist will give you.
Finally, it came down to something very simple. Initially, he used to
have one instant coffee in the morning,
instant coffee, nice cafe or whatever, right? Now in new job,
this is nice coffee machine that produces very nice coffee, you
know, like the bean coffee, special gourmet coffee, and he's
having six, seven cups a day now.
He's having six or seven cups a day now of this. This is giving
him anxiety attacks, panic attack, because of the raise level of
caffeine in a system.
You're not used to that level of six, seven have no serious
caffeine here.
So now you're getting anxiety attacks. So it could be as simple
as diet, but nobody can figure that out until eventually you kind
of eliminate until you get to that idea. But it's never like okay,
this, we know exactly what it is. That's the human mind. That's an
easy one. That's an easy one. There are places where you will
never know.
And everybody can theorize that's the human being himself again,
anything else.
That's where we are. In this world, nobody has been able to get
to the bottom of the mind yet as to exactly what it is. So
Allah subhanahu wa taala, he speaks directly to the heart.
That's why the Quran is so effective. It speaks directly to
the heart, it speaks to core the to the core of the person. And
a, Allah says in the Quran, Allah Rai, Buffy
kita Archimate is to
a book whose verses are clear cut. That's what he says in many places
that it doesn't leave any room for that doubt. So, some of the
greatest enemies of the Quran. And some of the greatest ones were at
the table of all of us, a lot of them the reason why I say they
were the greatest, and probably the best equipped to challenge it,
is because they spoke that Arabic, they had command over that level
of Arabic. So when they saw this, that this was way beyond anything
that they could they could come up with, or ever dream of coming up
with, or anybody else they knew of the great poets of the past the
great writers of the past than they, despite all the animosity,
their enmity, their hatred, they had to say this, isn't it, and
there's many stories that relate to that, it may not be that they
still became Muslim. You know, that's a matter of Tofik. But
there are confessions from them. That's what's important.
Now, of course, in that regard, what you have to understand,
although he's saying, you know, he has not left any doubts, but all
you have to understand is that people who have challenged the
Quran, some of them, their challenge has been a mercy for
them in the sense that they started off with a challenge. And
then they realize that this is I'm messing with something here that
is not to be messed with. And then they, they understood the honor of
it. And thus for them, it was sad. For them it was fortune was
written for them and thus they became believers.
Others unfortunately, they became worse in their tyranny, because
now they had nothing to go on. And they were continuing their
tyranny. So Allah subhanho wa Taala says in the Quran, Furman
Haqqani, he can't imagine either. Uncertainty lumen finna Allah
subhanaw taala tells the Prophet salallahu Salam, those people who
the the prescription for Hellfire has been written.
Their judgment for Hellfire is definitely isn't. Are you going to
be able to take them out of the Hellfire? They're done they finish
that that's the way they are. They're not going to listen. These
are the ones who are
who the fortune was not written for and
Those who have the kuffaar tried their best in all of the eloquence
and their construction their ability to speak and write. They
eventually came and said this is not something that humans can do.
And
some of them they remain calf still, but others they change.
When Mahira
Radi Allahu Anh heard from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam the verse in Allah hiya Morrow belatedly will answer
anywhere either you will call her when her annual fracture you will
mancha you will belt. Yeah is the cupola I look into the karoun then
he says Wallahi in the hula hula.
He says that has that's so sweet. There is so much sweetness that
the squeezing from those were in nada Hilah Tala. And we're in this
fella who love the music. We're in the ATLA hula mauthner. So these
were his descriptions that look how fruitful and how beneficial it
is in its depth. And in its in its apparent nature, Maya Kulu hudl
Bashar
no human can utter words like this. This was his his conclusion.
There was a another one of the non Muslims who heard somebody read
the Quran most likely a Muslim reading further mistake assuming
who Hala sunnah Jiya fella mistake assuming who? Hunter sunnah Jiya
Bacara so this is speaking about who this is the brothers of use of
extra when they couldn't they couldn't convince the
would you call it they couldn't convince us of it Salaam and his
people that give us our brother back. He didn't holler sooner Jia.
So stay assuming home. They became hopeless despondent, we can't
convince him anymore. But you can imagine how bad they were feeling
because they'd lost use of aluminium before they'd given some
big promises to their father. They're not going to lose Binyamin
and suddenly he's been taken out of their hand without any plotting
of their own. So stay further mystery so Minho, hello Sue
Nigeria, just a word usage to express their meaning. And their
state Hello Sue means to
they they got together with this really concerned sincere motive
Najia and they started whispering or planning discussing intimately
to each other but fell a mistake assuming who Hello sooner Jiya so
short so effective. So when this non Muslim heard this is as a
shadow under mahalo can lyac dynamically however no created
being has the ability to say words of this nature. Now today's Arabs
Muslim or non Muslim Subhanallah you know, they don't have the
level of Arabic that they had in those days. So the biggest
challenges have gone I don't know if there's ever one anybody who's
gonna even come to that level of being you know, of the level of
the Arabic that people had in the time Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam
is ready to Ramadan Tabata, the Allah one
that once you're sitting in the masjid, and suddenly there's
somebody comes about by his head who's starts to testify, become a
Muslim. So I'm gonna then asked him what happened, how suddenly,
who is he said that this is one of the
big leaders of the Roman priests, that he's come, because he learned
so what he did was he learned Arabic, the Arabic language first.
Then he heard a person reading an ayah. And he says, Then I thought
about that I, I pondered over that verse after he'd studied Arabic.
He pondered over that verse. And he said that I found everything
that Allah subhanaw taala has revealed to a Saudi salaam that I
have understood, all of that was found in that verse of the, the,
the issues of the this world and the Hereafter, all of that is in
there. And that is simply the verse which we read all the time
are passed by all the time. We don't think of it in the same way.
When the Utair Illa, Huwa. Sula, who were Shala were Tukey thought
hula hula is isn't.
Which is whoever obeys Allah and His messenger. And he fears Allah.
Were ducky and he has Taqwa. But the nuances of this can only be
understood by those who have a better understanding of Arabic.
That's where the more Arabic you study, the more you will
understand the Quran as well. Of course there's a Tofik aspect
there for hula hula isn't those people are the successes. Those
people are the successful ones, the winners.
US Maggie is considered to be one of the greatest philologist and
lexicographers of the Arabs, beautiful poet, Hadith scholar as
well and
an Arabic scholar of Arabic language. In fact, many of his
works contribute to the big
dictionaries that we have today in the works of lexicography. Once he
heard this young girl speaking Arabic,
and he found that quite amazing. You know, sometimes you see young
girls or young boys and they're speaking but they speak with so
much sense. They're very, Allah has given them chosen individuals
Allah, Allah has given them some edgy way of speaking. So whether
that be in English or majority or do any other language, you just
you get astonished by it. So you must have and he said kata like
Allah Azza hotkey,
you know, may Allah kill you.
But this is not literal. It's just like, wow, this is wicked in other
ways. And now what did he say? It's not wicked anymore. It's,
this is sick, that is really sick, to be honest, wicked I can
understand. But the sick just sounds really sick. When I hear
kids saying is like Please stop saying that it's not sick.
So this is Katella Calama Katella Kyla of psyche. You know how
eloquent you are. So he was quite amazed by her eloquence. So she
was of some I don't know who she was, but she says, Our you add to
her facade.
You consider this to be effective. You consider this to be eloquent
by the cola after Allah subhanaw taala and what he said and she
came up with the verse, whoa Hanaa Isla Mimosa and out of dairy for
either lift Dr. Li for Lt. He phillium Nuala the half in your
tax journey in raw do vous la Chioggia, a luminal, most mineral
mousseline. This is the verse which is Allah subhanaw taala
speaking to the mother of Musa alayhis salam and she was fearful
about dropping him in the ocean, we revealed We inspired we inspire
to the mother of Mousavi salaam, that you nurse him, you give him
milk, when then you feel fear over him. Put him into the water, put
him into the into the river. What are the haffi wala Tassone? Don't
be fearful, and don't be grieved. So he's telling you to do two
things. He's telling him not to do two things in now rod do who
Leakey, he we are going to return him to you, which are Illumina
Homoserine. And we're going to make him of the messengers. So she
says that in here, there are well, she I don't I don't know if she
said this. But in here, you've got Allah subhanaw taala in one verse,
giving two commands to prohibitions, two bits of
information and to glad tidings.
So double of each one of these things,
and is numerous other examples of how the Quran has impacted. But
the main thing is that, okay, it could impact individuals who have
a certain faith, people might think the main thing is nobody's
been able to challenge it. So that's the real proof that
nobody's been able to challenge it. Bring anything similar, forget
better. Now, the question that arises, the first thing that comes
to mind, Jr. Sometimes is that how can he say that it leaves no room
for doubt? Clearly, there have been many people who've dealt. So
it does have room for doubt, in that sense.
There's many people of mischief, deviants, and so on who've had
doubts and who voiced their doubts. Well, what he's saying
here is that, yes, lots of people have doubts, you can try, but they
are no genuine discrepancies. Which after their doubt,
they've got substance. So there is no substance in their doubt that
they can have because the Quran is an open to them. You can have the
most watertight
legal document written by the best lawyers and legal experts,
somebody is going to come and say, well, that doesn't mean that Sahil
Buhari, the owner, the majority of the automa of the Ummah have
agreed that there is no dive Hadith in the it's all Sahai but
you've got people like Daraa cottony Edna Tamia, etc, who have
considered some of them to be the Eve as well. So yeah, that's human
nature. There's a way of understanding things and some
people just don't understand it. Maybe in the way that everybody
else understands you. I'm sure you must have come across people like
that. For example, is a father is telling his son clean your room.
The mother is saying clean your room. You know what this child
says?
It says gonna get dirty again.
His reasoning and he honestly believes this is not this is not
somebody who just lazy. He honestly believes this is his
reader, which makes him lazy Of course, that there is no point in
cleaning
restroom because it's gonna get dirty again, what's the point of
cleaning it? What's the point of making my bed is gonna get messed
up again?
Now, the parents are getting frustrated man, don't you
understand? What's wrong with you? But he genuinely is arguing back
that he's gonna get dirty again, it's gonna get messed up again.
Why do I waste? I'm cleaning it and making my bed?
You deal with that? That's SubhanAllah. You know, one is that
I think the only thing that works there is
who is going to work in that situation? Like, just go and do it
man, you know, don't argue just do it.
That's where sometimes that's what you have to tell kids is no
argument. Just do it.
And hope that he understands tomorrow. But that's the way you
deal with kids, you're going to have you know, all your kids,
they're never going to be the same. Some are going to be easy.
Some are going to be difficult. Some are gonna have a challenge
here. Not here. Someone's gonna have a challenge here. But that's
what Allah created us in this world as parents for to deal with
them. May Allah make it easy for all of us. So in terms of its
reality, there are no discrepancies. That's where Allah
subhanaw taala says that no Can I mean and the lady lay lower Jeju
fee off and get the euro. If anybody else had written any
document, anything of this nature, they would have found a huge
amount of discrepancies in there. But here there's no discrepancies
in this Quran in that regard. But of course people will criticize
it.
That's why Allah subhanaw taala says fly your Allah He evidently
HECM. The other thing is that nobody can arbitrate between this
and the Quran. Because at the end of the day, Quran is the judge. So
generally, the people who try they will know deep deep down that they
want That's why Allah says, Allah, Allah have done the Hakama is it
other than Allah that I should look for to be a judge? Well, who
will love the unzila, a common Kitab amorphous Sada, whereas it's
him who has revealed the Quran to you in this detailed manner?
So is there anybody else that we should go to? In the hula, coal
and fossil? Well, now who are Bill Hazel? As for ALLAH SubhanA does
sort of todich it is the clear cut definitive
record? Well, no, whoever it has, it's not said in jest. It's not
anything of that nature. Then he carries on. In that same theme, he
says ma Horiba, cut to maharrey. But to enlarge them in horrobin,
the e la Mancha salami.
What does he mean by that? Whenever it's been attacked, to
criticize the most bitter of their foes will eventually return from
this fray, begging to submit it will humble its worst
perpetrators, its worst critics, it will humble them how. So
anybody who tries to compete and challenge the Quran,
argue about it,
then, and they reckon that they have the ability to come and bring
something like it to produce something like it, eventually,
they will have to say we can't do it, and they will turn on the
heels, and they will retreat.
And then many of them will obviously become the worst of
enemies against it.
Because there's no other way to do it.
So many of them because of the clarity that they see. And they
try and then they say I can't be this person, then they first you
got somebody who's claiming to be great, you're going to be a bit
doubtful. Can you really do it or not? Okay, you try him out. And
when you see that, yes, Mashallah. It is somebody then you start
holding some respect, you start getting some respect for this
person. So, for many people, that will happen, however, there's one
case where that will not happen. So, you've doubted somebody, you
challenged him, and he beat you, but you still don't agree to it.
There's only one situation which will not not allow you to explain
to it which will not allow you to, to accept your defeat.
What they say is that any hatred in this world, any sorry, any
enmity can be removed, except one enmity. And that is the enmity
based on jealousy.
Enmity based on jealousy is very difficult to remove, because
there's no substance to it. It's an psychological problem.
Right?
You need a therapist for that, maybe Tofik.
So, because when they when genuinely it's like,
you don't know a lot of it is based on ignorance generally. So
you just see somebody, somebody's praising them. So you think
and once it's proven, Okay, final Hamdulillah. But if it's jealousy,
then it doesn't matter if it's proven. You don't want that person
to have that. It's a different problem now.
So
So one of the ways to remove that is when you feel that you
immediately pray for that person,
immediately make a dua for May Allah give him more, very
difficult to automake. But that is the antidote to this. When you
start making dua for people that you feel envious of, Allah makes
it much easier for you to deal with it. That's the cure that
they're gonna my generally mentioned anyway, is to pray for
them, praise them, if possible,
but at least privately, you can pray for them. The other thing you
have to realize is that whenever you're jealous about things, you
have to realize that Allah has made there's enough to go around
generally. So why are you worried about Of course, if it's jealousy
over somebody having a particular individual getting married to her
or something like that?
That becomes a bit more complicated, but then you have to
realize not only fish in the sea, there's many efficiencies.
There's a problem with emotional attachment, you start thinking
that that's the only person in the world that matches but you don't
know there are some folks locally the URL Minalima if that's the
case, then we'll focus equally Jamil and Jamila, you know,
there's beyond every beautiful person, there's somebody more
beautiful, whether that mean in a HELOC or or, you know,
characteristics or features.
That's why a poet says couldn't either what he told you is Katara
Zhu is letter. In other words mean Illa either Waterman, either Kevin
has has mean Hi Sadie.
Right? Cool, either what he told you is, Ill either Waterman either
come in handy, every form of enmity, you can expect it to be
removed and eliminated except the enmity that comes from the one who
is your enemy because of hazard and envy and jealousy.
And finally, the fact that they were had to sit back and could not
challenge it. Despite the fact that a challenge was taken from
reduced from 10 servers to one server. First, it was 10 servers.
And again, that's just a lot could have said one server from before.
But first he just said okay, 10 servers, then he said, Okay, one
server and that just becomes more effective. When you know that
story,
then they will realize that it's from ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada because
they were the people of this language. And of this style, they
understood, they were the Inmetro column for Samuel Bala Amin, Al
Millison. They were the people of this field.
And no other nation ever will probably have the same level that
they did. Which means that it's never going to be challenged.
Because it's easy for us, we have to study the language for them.
They were born with it. That was the that was the fitrah to speak
in that kind of language, because it was a very oral tradition. It
wasn't much of original tradition. Now we know it's hardly ever an
oral tradition. So anybody who studies Arabic Now they'll have to
go work hard labor and toil to get somewhere whereas they had it,
they still couldn't challenge it. So what's going to happen to
anybody else? So they were in this state where they think they've got
a lot of language and everything and suddenly the prophets Allah
lorrison comes with this Kitab Azeez Leia T Hill Barsoomian
benei? Are they here? Well, I'm in Hawaii, then Zealand, then Zealand
mean Hercynian Hamid. So they're in you know, they are showing off
with the ability to speak and so on and they are up and everybody
else is IgM. And then suddenly
there's a person who comes up Zulu, allah sallallahu Sallam
evil, doesn't come false, it doesn't come neither in front of
him or behind him, he is protected from that.
And he brings the Quran which is revealed from the Judge of all
judges, and the most crazy one, verses are very clear. So they it
comes right in the middle of something that is their science,
it's their pursuit, it's their occupation. And then it starts
challenging them. It openly challenges the Quran openly
challenges them.
It calls out above everybody else and now the Muslims who are
receiving these ayat, they are reading this everywhere so it's
around town.
Then suddenly the verse comes down to be actually sewer Mythili move
Tara yet you make up 10 sewers like this. Make them up and
challenge it. Nobody could do so. Then Allah says to be Surah bring
one surah Now, small sewer it doesn't have to be a long sewer,
not Bacara bringing now to inocle Copper, something like that. So he
kept putting them this must have heard them a lot because they were
the masters of this science. And suddenly somebody has come with
this new idea which is a challenge. All of a sudden, you
didn't even see it developing just came up. Can you make
And the challenge is going to create. So it kept banging on the
ears and they just couldn't do anything about it. So then they
said many things, these are some of the verses in her mother in law
Syrian youth in her mother in law, Col. Bashar so mostly his soccer.
So they first called it what?
See her magic. Then Allah says, they said in her mother in law
sell to you will a wedding.
These are just the stories remnants of the stories of the
past people, Allah, then another low inertia will Hakuna Mikela. So
they kept claiming, if we wanted, we could also say this. Some
people said this, if we want to we can make something up like that.
There's a lot of people who say that some people have a natural
result to defend themselves. It's in their instinct, some people
they don't care whether it's right or wrong, they have a natural
instinct that people don't this is a lot of people from villages and
things like that they have this problem.
They they cannot stand to be defeated. They will make up
anything totally wrong. It's a very it's a very non Islamic thing
to do is that instinct of survival. I don't know where in
the evolution theory this fits. But it's it's this instinct of
survival. Just make up whatever just to get out. That's totally
wrong.
So low inertia will Hakuna Mithila hada just pure claim only.
And Allah then says in the Quran whirlen The follow you will never
do it. Now that really rubs the that's really putting salt in the
wounds. One is bring it but then Allah says one undervalue.
You can't you'll never do it. And then Allah subhanaw taala said
another place, let encourage them are it in so well? Jean Nuala?
Yeah to be me three Hazal Nila to be Mythili sort of that forget you
people, if the gin and the humans they all got together if you've
got everybody together to bring the like of this Quran, they would
not be able to bring it. So it's really chiding them. It's really,
really pushing them to to see what they can do.
So then there's people like Muslimah, etc who
basically you can say humiliated himself in training. And you don't
even want to hear what he said because it's too simplistic. It
sounds like Gollum thought okay for either Abu Dhabi has have been
filled. But
you know, he's describing it's, it's based on zoology. So is this
thing about a description of an elephant? What's the big deal
about that? When the Quran speaks about animals, it does it with
dignity. It tells you something about them that you don't know.
He's just telling you what you already know just making it sound
like Alan Tara gave a federal bookmobiles herbal fee.
So then he becomes a mockery. What even will Mahira you probably
heard his name he's one of the
crushes who Qureshi is who were against. He was in Abuja, his
group.
When he first heard Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
reading
it immediately affected his heart
immediately affected his heart.
Bucha Hall came to me immediately Abuja was the policeman. He was
the
the theological policeman, you know, ideology.
Looking after people's ideology, making sure they don't change, it
came and immediately started to censor him. So, this is listen to
Willie dibden Molina's response, very educated response he says
Wallahi Mermin come ahead on and and build a shared immunity. None
of you know poetry better than I do. Poems and the history of poems
and you know, memorize but nobody knows it better. Well, Allah he
managed the hula, the guru, che caminhada. Whatever he is saying
wala, he does not resemble any poetry that we've heard before.
And I know most more poetry than anyone. So so that that was his
response to Abuja. There was another occasion what happened is
he gathered all of Quraysh together before the
the Hajj season.
early times, they used to have the Jay Haley hedge at that time. And
then after that, they used to have these
fairs and markets and selling and you know, there's money to be made
there as well. So the whole world came and went, I mean, I mean, the
people that drives them around, they came that this was the annual
gathering. So what is going to be our propaganda? How we, because
people have heard of Muhammad said a lesson on his call. So we are
the people to the city people are going to ask us, they're going to
want to know, so what is our
strategy here? So you got people together? He says in the Wufu, the
arbiter
Did the delegations of the Arabs are going to come? So we need to
decide on one story that we can all give. So that there's no
discrepancy there. So it doesn't lie you can think about doing
about them, you know, we're not going to one's gonna say this
story that then people are gonna think that it's a lie. So, they
first said we should just say he's a soothsayer, occur him fortune
teller, somebody who has some knowledge of the past and future,
you know, bits of knowledge here or they're never 100% accurate.
So then he, he's arbitrating this council, he's saying Wallahi ma
Hua him. This he's not a soothsayer, you can't say that
he's not a soothsayer. He is not of that type. That's not his
mentality. That's not his behavior. There's no way you can
pass him off as a soothsayer. So this is him saying this. Then they
said,
you can imagine these gum areas getting together and then he says
Majnoon,
calling Mitch noon.
He says, he can't be a Majnoon. He doesn't act like one he doesn't
get those whisperings he's not an insane person, there's no way you
can pass that off. Okay, let's say he's a Shah and a poet. So then he
said, he is not a poet, because I know poetry, all of it, that where
Jesus who has the who will carry the whoever SUTA mudo. These are
different meters in poetry. He says, I know all these types of
poetry, and he's not a poet, man who will be shared. Okay, then
we'll say that he's a magician.
Running out of possibilities. He said, he's not a magician, either.
Because he doesn't blow into things. He doesn't do these weird
tricks and spells and things. He doesn't do these things. How can
you be a magician? So then they said, Well, what do we say they've
run out of ideas of what do we say them. So he says,
You can't come with any suggestion, which, except that I'm
gonna know that it's wrong, there is no truthful suggestion that
you're going to be able to bring except that I know that it's
falsehood. But the probably the best thing that you could say the
closest thing you could say is that he is a magician.
That's the closest, out of all of these options. The magician is, if
you're going to get away with anything, it's going to be that
but he said, let's say other things, that he separates between
a father and his son, a person and his son, and a person and his
wife, his brother, and, and his tribe. So that was a very
important thing for them to keep these things together. There
wasn't a tide of individualism, it was a type of tribalism. So
anybody who's going against that is going to be looked down upon.
So they decide okay, that's what we're gonna say he's a magician
who separates between people. Anyway, so they went and they set
on all the paths and as people started coming to delineation
study coming, they started to send this so Allah subhanaw taala then
reveal this entire set of verses about where the devil Mahira the
knee woman Holika to where he the wager Altoona whom, Madame Duda
Yeah, well, Benny in a shoe who the and Mama head to the hood, I'm
here for my automatic one as either in a hookah Annalee Tina I
need so or hippo who's or who the in who Fakarava cada coup de la
que cada una cosa que cada another, the MABAS our vessel is
just beautiful, right? And that is all just changing, whether it be
the lira.
Then Ottawa ignore Robbia just to finish off here Atiba ignore
Robbie, when he first heard the Quran. He says that,
you know, all my people you know that there is I haven't left
anything I've studied all what has been written and said of poetry,
etc. And I have never heard anything like this. This is not
shared. It's not magic. And it's not soothsaying, not original
health, another one of the time he said the same thing. And so on.
You have numerous stories, but these are the most suited people
to challenge if they ever were one. They didn't do it. We don't
expect it ever to come about again. May Allah subhanaw taala
give us the true sweetness of it. We claim to be believers we act
with belief mashallah we pray, we memorize the Quran we read the
Quran, may Allah give us the Tofik of understanding the Quran
directly as well. It's it's an ambition a goal you must have May

people to act to get further an inspiration, and encouragement,
persuasion. The next step is to actually start learning seriously
to read books to take on a subject of Islam and to understand all the
subjects of Islam at least at the basic level, so that we can become
more aware of what our deen wants from us. And that's why we started
Rayyan courses so that you can actually take organize lectures on
demand whenever you have free time, especially for example, the
Islamic essentials course that we have on there, the Islamic
essentials certificate, which you take 20 Short modules, and at the
end of that inshallah you will have gotten the basics of most of
the most important topics in Islam and you'll feel a lot more
confident. You don't have to leave lectures behind you can continue
to live, you know, to listen to lectures, but you need to have
this more sustained study as well as aka law here and Salaam Alaikum
