But what he's saying here is Lucha Moran, como Gil bad if he murdered
him. It has meanings, like the waves of the ocean.
It has meanings like the waves of the ocean. So just like the ocean,
we haven't been able to figure all of that out and what's in the
ocean despite the fact that we've been here for many, many
centuries, centuries, millions of years, whatever you want to say,
we still haven't been able to discover all of that. So like that
we have not been able to discover everything in the Quran yet the
Quran will continue to reveal things. And then it's he says, it
has meanings like the waves of the ocean.
Now, we read the Quran sometimes, and nothing jumps out to us.
So where is this claim? And where is what we feel? Well, the reason
we feel like that is because we generally read it with a great
rush without pondering, the more you know, and the more then you
read the Quran, the more it will apply, and the greater meanings it
will produce. That's why you hear your that's why there are there is
room for so many tough series that have been written.
Alhamdulillah Immobilien aminos salatu salam ala so even more

karate behind you know carry for call Tula who locker the filter be
Hubballi la he fantasy me. So this is point number 96 from a novel
series
Alborada and this is the section in which he's speaking about the
Quran is the miracle.
And it's quite fascinating. The way he speaks comprehensively
about the Quran. So he says here, the eloquence routes the enemy's
claims as a zealous man protects his wife from an assailant.
Meaning they have meanings they have like the wide seas waves
their beauty and worth more precious than the oceans
treasures.
Their Marvel stand beyond count and reckoning. None grows tired of
them. However off repeated. They delighted they delighted the soul
and senses of one that recited them. So I told him, yours is
God's rope. So hold on tight. If not, Allah says whatever verse is
read,
is a heart be guiding bride. If a groom that bride would wet, let
him move her veil aside,
which is speaking about revealing the deeper meanings of the Quran.
Rumi says the Quran Slave I am until my life is done just on the
way I am the role of the chosen one. So in this case, he is
speaking about the beloved of the Quran. The word Beloved, this
beloved and this facade.
fossa is when every word in a sentence that you use is specially
picked, most appropriate and very effective. So use the right word
for the right place. And Bulava means to take those words and
string them together
in a way that is effective for that context, that situation. The
Quran has both of these facts. Every word used in the Quran is
Farsi,
which means it is eloquent. And then it's delivery of its message,
the way the words are put together. And the way they sound
that also is effective. I mean, it's effective for the entire most
the majority of the Muslim world that doesn't speak Arabic, and
there's probably more Muslims that don't speak Arabic. Then there are
those who speak Arabic. And yet one of the favorite things that
they would like to listen to one of the most famous religious, one
of the favorite religious things would be the Quran. Because even
though they may not understand it, it still touches a chord in their
heart because of the absolute beauty of the words. So the poet
says that anybody who has tried to challenge these ayat of the Quran,
these verses of the Quran, he's failed.
Because the way the Quran has been composed, the choice of the words
and
the way the
words have been put together, they will repel and reject
anything that will try to match it.
Because it is on the highest levels of effectiveness, the Quran
is at the highest levels
or possibility of being effective. There's nothing that can be higher
than that. And that's just not a claim we have. But it's actually
something that has been proven over the centuries. So nobody will
be able to bring anything like it.
Anybody who even tried,
as some people did try in the past, they were actually
humiliated. Because one is that you say, I'm going to challenge
you. And then when you lose on top of that, what happens is that
people then make fun of you if you just sat back and didn't pause,
didn't even try to challenge someone. There is no problem.
Nobody's gonna say anything to you. When you've tried to
challenge and then after that you don't really get anywhere, then
you make a bigger font of yours. You make a mockery of yourself. So
that's basically what used to happen. That's why in Mahira
Sharma the Allahu Anhu he heard the verse in the La Jolla Morrow
gladly will ehsani where either it will go away and he will fracture
it will carry Well, there is a criminal look into the karoun,
which we hear in our hotword video every week, as well. He says
Wallahi in the hula in Allahu Allah Halawa is such a sweetness
to this. And then he mentioned a number of other things may aku ha
Sharon is no human who could say this.
About obeyed mentions that there was an error via desert Arab who
heard a person saying who heard a person reading the verse in the
Quran faster, Dima took more. First their Bhima took more. Now.
Raise and announce what you have been commanded. Initially you're
Sol allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did his that was secretly
he didn't do it openly. It was just to his family, etc. But
eventually he was given the command first Dark Bhima tomar.
Now raise your your Dawa announced your Dawa announced what you have
been commanded? Is this the beauty of the way this word, these words
are put together in Arabic. So when this desert Arab heard this,
immediately he prostrated onto the ground. He made a search though,
and he said subject to leaf, a leaf Asahi that I am frustrating
because of its eloquence because of its beauty. Another person
heard a somebody reading for the mistake assuming who had a sunnah
Jiya
that is Fela mistake assuming who heard a sunnah Jiya. And he says a
shadow number Hello can lyac that either monthly hurdle column, I
bear witness that and that these are masters who are speaking I
bear witness that there's no way a human can say these things. So
these will not just some emotional
exclamations that they had these were not some emotional statements
they were making. This is something that, you know, that
people agreed with.
Now, the question is that how is the Quran a Marchesa?
In its sense of Arabic and its composition, how exactly is it a
mind user? So the majority say that, with everything that's been
put into the Quran, it's beautiful wording, the eloquence the choice
of the words, the beautiful way it's been composed, put together,
the ending of it's versus the way they run without being a poem.
Because poems rhyme, to the Quran is not poem because it's not
according to any poetic meter, the famous meters that you have to put
poems on
the Quran is not on any of those, it has his own unique style, but
yet, it has such an effectiveness in the different clusters of its
verses that it has.
So it's way of delivering the message. It's the sound of the
words, the tune, the way the words sound, the choice of them. That
is, that cannot be done by any human being. That's why it's
gorgeous. This is what some say.
So they say that this is like one of those extra ordinary things
that are not normal for people to do. This is what Allah subhana wa
Tada produced, just like, bringing the dead back to life. That's a
Marchesa, that's a miracle. People don't bring dead people back to
life. So it's on that level, that's what they say. So it's not
something that humans can do then, even if they tried, they wouldn't
be able to do it. If it is not just within their ability to do
so.
However, Sherwood has to show that he and a number of others what
they say is something different. They say that, no, the the way
it's written. Remember, this is a minority opinion. They say that
the way it's written is a
Within the ability of the human, so it's not beyond the ability of
your human. However, Allah subhanaw taala hasn't. And again,
this sounds like a juxtaposition anyway, says it is within
something that humans could attain. And Allah subhanaw taala
could allow somebody to do that. But he has not. So now this is
sounds a bit confusing. The first people say the first group, say,
which is the majority that nobody can even do that it's beyond its
divine, it's not within the human ability to even produce this.
Right. So everybody, everybody agrees, both groups agree that
nobody has been able to produce something like this, and nobody
will ever be able to produce anything like it that much is
agreed upon. Now, the question is just the theoretical questions.
That is it something that humans could produce? Right? Is it within
the possibilities? Or is it intrinsically impossible? So the
first group say it's intrinsically impossible, this is divine, it's
godly. It's impossible. It's not human. Whereas the second say that
no humans could have done it. But they have been prevented from
doing it for the challenge reason. But again, either way, they have
their reasons. The first is the stronger opinion, it seems. Now
that that's the point that the author is making the point he's
making, but then look at the way he says it. He says, that
eloquence, the versus the eloquence of the verses, it will
repel and route their enemies claims. So anybody who tries to
get even close, the verses are so powerful that they will not allow
anything, anyone to get close. Just as a zealous man protects his
wife from an assailant. How a zealous man who has a sense of
honor, and who wants to protect himself and his wife, how
he would fight tooth and nail,
to make sure that nobody attacks his wife, or even as much as
touches her, or even glands, his or her people get jealous of that,
and that should be the right thing to do. So now,
if we live in a culture where unfortunately, this is not a big
deal anymore, for many people were people on their days of their
wedding, having their friends kiss their wife, I mean, not many
Muslims do that yet. But I mean, this happens in a culture, you
know, people line up to kiss the bride, or whatever, or when you
meet each other, you know, the, in many traditions in the French
tradition and
and also Muslims who lived on a French Island reunion. Hola, yo.
And they were complaining that this is getting into their culture
as well that you know, when you meet, you have to kiss each other.
So when when you when you're living with that culture, you
don't understand the zealousness of that level, you still
understand that? Okay. You don't want anybody to sleeping with your
wife, you know, people understand it to that level. But
when you're in a proper Muslim understanding, then the idea is
that your wife, you know, is very precious. So it's only you know,
that that relationship, it's only between the husband and wife. So
he's taken at that at that level. And he's saying that the Quran is
at that level, because anybody could interpret this at different
levels of what they understand to be zealousness towards the wife.
So this is talking about really, it's untouchable. The Quran is
absolutely untouchable, and that the Quran, it has that
there have been people who tried. So for example, there was a person
called abnormal Kapha
Abdullah abnormal kafir he was known to be
the officer who actually will walk through he, he was the most
eloquent man of his time, Allah had given this great ability to
speak in a very effective manner in such a way that nobody else
could. He decided
to challenge one aspect of the to meet that challenge. So he started
producing something. He started putting some words together.
However, he then walked by this
child that was reading what can you layer or do blur in a key way
or summer or alkalinity will lead Alma Cody LM Robusto at idle Judy,
you Akela Burdell call me volumen solid hood.
And quickly he went back and he said forget it. And he just erased
everything he said is there's no way I could is a shadow Anahata
Allah you all know who I am in Colombia Bashar that I bear
witness. Now I testify to Allah subhanaw taala that this cannot be
challenged. This can't be competed with. This is not the words of a
human being. So it's beyond human being ability.
Yo, yo here Abdul Hakim al Rozelle another individual who was one of
the most eloquent individuals of andalas of southern Spain in his
days when it was Islamic Spain at that time. Yeah, hear him no Hakob
Allah Hassan. So he also tried to produce something before let's
give it a try. Well, Allahu Allah, I mean, of course, it's wrong to
even try that because you're not going to get anywhere. And it's
the the challenge is obviously to the disbelievers. So he tried
and
you looked at sort of a class called who Allahu Ahad Allah Samad
let me tell it what I'm you will at what I'm Nicola who Khufu when
I heard
he tried to produce something at that level. Woman Neil machete
bijela Lilu. Here to come early happen.
Eventually, fear overcame him.
And he started to tremble.
And he started making Toba and is there's no way you could do this.
Now these are people who are professionals who are trying to do
this not just any buddy who learned a few words of Arabic and
he's starting to do something but these are people who knew what
they were talking about. They were recognized by everybody else.
May Allah subhanaw taala protect us from wasting our time.
That's why if you ponder over verses Now unfortunately, you know
you need Arabic for this and the higher level of Arabic you have
the more appreciative you are of this, but if I just mentioned a
few of the verses of the Quran that release stand up one oh Tara
it for zero Fela photo okay, do well Oh, Tara fuzzy roo fella
photo. Okay. Do McCann Karim such a beautiful expression
when you see them, and they are in anxiety
Fela photo What will he do? Another one is a different ability
here arson for either lady by Nico Urbina, who either were to get an
who will lead you in honey, it the fact bility here acid repel in a
way, that is the most excellent way. So if somebody does something
bad to you respond in an excellent manner
responded in a excellent manner. Because the one between whom
between you and whom is enmity right now, gotta know who really
You mean, he may become your closest friend afterwards. So if
you do respond, you have the right to respond but respond in a
dignified way. So your respect doesn't go down. When is that when
somebody does something bad to you, we like to become worse than
them. So nobody's saying you can't respond. Responding is fine. But
that's where the wisdom comes in. So if somebody swears that you you
can respond to them, and say, Don't swear at me or don't do
this, or this is totally wrong, or in a very eloquent way.
But if you want to now start swearing at them as well and
cursing them as well and get to their level or even below their
level, then you may win the argument, you may say more nasty
things. But then after that, that's just going to have more
harm and you're not going to get any more respect.
So there's a way to respond. So that's what Allah subhanaw taala
is saying another versus what we read earlier work the layup or do
blurry, murky that is read that one really stands up because many
have explained the different aspects in the colon BMB and that
verse in Surah, Blanca boots, and so on. These are some of the
things that Allah ma have really looked at and explained how great
they are. So then, the next point now he so he until now he's
focused on the way the words are, and the beauty of it and its
effect. Now he starts to speak about its meaning. Lucha Moran in
Komodo battery theme added in with Oka Joe hurry, he will host new
alchemy,
meanings they have, like the wide seas waves, their beauty and worth
more precious than the ocean stretches. Now this one is
obviously for those who dive into the Quran and understand its
meanings. And what it says what it provides.
So the way he describes it is kind of very interesting as well.
Firstly, he says,
number one,
just like with the ocean, you will until now nobody has been able to
discover everything in the ocean.
We've lived here for centuries in this world.
Long term,
according to the Bible, I was in Genesis there was a certain it
says the world is so old and then the evolutions came and dated
earlier and caused the massive problem for the Christians to deal
with when it came to evolution aspects, so
So then they started rejecting evolution completely. Now Muslims
who are not aware of the whole evolution theory, they think the
Christians are correct in rejecting evolution completely. So
they also start rejecting evolution. And a lot of people
unfortunately begin to lose their faith in that because they have
studied science, and they've studied
the evolutionary process. And they feel very comfortable with it in
their heart, because many aspects of it do make sense. And there's
nothing wrong with many aspects of it. But they just don't understand
how to reconcile it. So that's where the confusion happens.
So very clearly other money Salam didn't other money, Salam had a
miracle, miraculous birth, and he was made from soil, he did not
come out of another animal, he did not move, or there was no random
mutation there from another animal that's very clear. Even though
other animals may have come from wherever that doesn't make a
difference to us. That's a possibility Allah knows best. But
when it comes to other mighty salaam, that is not going there's,
as Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran, how he was created and
how he was made. So that's very, very clear. There's no doubt about
that.
But that requires a whole discussion, which is separate. But
what he's saying here is Lucha Moran, como Gil bad if he murdered
him. It has meanings, like the waves of the ocean.
It has meanings like the waves of the ocean. So just like the ocean,
we haven't been able to figure all of that out and what's in the
ocean, despite the fact that we've been here for many, many
centenaries centuries, millions of years, whatever you want to say,
we still haven't been able to discover all of that. So like that
we have not been able to discover everything in the Quran yet, the
Quran will continue to reveal things. And then it's he says it
has meanings like the waves of the ocean.
Now, we read the Quran sometimes, and nothing jumps out to us.
So where is this claim? And where is what we feel? Well, the reason
we feel like that is because we generally read it with a great
rush without pondering, the more you know, and the more then you
read the Quran, the more it will apply, and the greater meanings
that will produce. That's why you hear your that's why there are
there is room for so many tough series that have been written.
So if you look at
the Tafseer of by Dobby, his focus is very unique. Despite it being
so short, his seat is relatively shorter. His focus is unique as
compared to ignore Kathy, for example, which then if you compare
to raazi, stuff, see, is, again, different. Razi is is more
philosophical.
But each one of them
it's quite amazing. There was the verse
or Bill Wiley, they in Arizona,
obedience to parents. So I looked in a number of Sears about this
verse. And one of the most amazing commentaries on that was by Allah
Marasi.
And he says, Why Allah subhanaw taala has commanded
us to honor our parents, and how that's mentioned, after Allah
subhanaw taala. So it's obedience to Allah than obedience to our
parents. And what he had explained there is because
the only way we can recognize Allah subhanaw taala, or how most
people recognize Allah subhanaw taala is through their parents to
start with. So the parents are their first venue, their first
teachers, and the first people through whom they get to Allah
subhanaw taala. Well, the way they come into this world is through
their parents as well, but then even recognizing Allah, their
parents have a big role to play in that.
So he had some Tafseer based on which was not in any of the other
def series. So that's why it's very difficult to rely on just one
def see,
the more of CES you read,
the more that verse will open up to you, because it's opened up
like that for these MUFA serene. And when you get to a level where
you've studied many other sciences, and then you start
looking at the Quran, the unique meanings will open up to you as
well. So the Quran speaks
the Quran really speaks it's a miracle in that sense. It will.
It's got so much in there that is yet to be found and discovered.
Just like the ocean is like that. I mean,
Within linguistic studies, they have this concept of read of
passages, poems, writings, taking on their own life, and giving
additional meanings. So there is this whole discussion about
whether it is important to discover the intent of the author
behind what they've written, or whether you can then go in and
read it how you want an alternative reading, the author
may have not thought, not said that at all, not even intended
that because a human author, he's only going to intend so much, you
can only have so much comprehensiveness in what he
writes. So there is this whole hetero glossier this, of studying
writings and giving them a meaning of their own and this whole
debates about this with the Quran, it's it just opens up the more you
know, the more you will get out of the Quran. And that's why he says,
the reason we don't get it is because we don't read it with that
open heart to look for meanings. What is the Quran telling me
what's the reflection that I need to do when you interact with the
Quran? That's what it will do. It will do for you.
I know the Allah who wants to know look at look at what he's saying.
I mean, when I read this statement, I was just totally
amazed. He said,
low shipped to an worker I mean money 30 Hatillo kita be meet at a
bar Edom, la caja to athletic Olafur alto
that if I wanted to load 100
camels
with meanings coming out from Surah Fatiha I could do so,
I could produce so I could gather and produce. So, from the
meaninglessness of Surah Al Fatiha so much material that it could lay
down 100 camels
just from Surah Fatiha that's that's not a that's not 100 volume
of theory talking about we're talking about you know many
volumes on one camel. So we're talking about several 100 volumes
just from fatty and that's what I did with the Allah one was saying.
Now, of course the province had a lot of some mentioned about him
that he is the door to the City of Knowledge, the province of
assembly, the city of Najaf, he's the daughter knowledge. Now, we
might think that's an exaggeration.
We might think that's an exaggeration.
But you've got people now in the last 100 years who have produced
1000 books and all different, okay, maybe not on 30 itself, but
on many subjects.
And you and you have the great scholars of the past and how much
they produced in short amounts, Imam Ghazali, 55 years old. And he
produced these huge works, that he probably just wrote first time
around without like having written the first draft and then refining
it second draft third draft without a spellcheck. You know,
without word processing,
without abundance of paper, right, erases tip X and all the rest of
it. They just had to write and get it right the first time around.
And subhanAllah we can't we can't even fathom that. Because we live
in a time where, you know, because this whole debate about whether
if you look at Shakespeare's language, the people really
Hamlet, did they did they really speak like that? Or was this the
Shakespeare just making what they said, nice and eloquent. But did
they really speak like that?
So there's been studies done on people, like in some of these
outlying areas of Scotland, who don't, who who weren't interested
in
a lot of technology and everything like that, and the children used
to, and some of these oral traditions of the past that didn't
read and write too much. They could
speak in long sentences, long, complex sentences that if you
wrote them down, they will be properly and grammatically
arranged. Otherwise, when we speak, we use half sentences
because we speak according to, and especially the way the Muslims in
these, in most of our Muslim enclaves in England, the way we
speak is unfortunately, really bad. When they hear somebody
speaking, well, they actually feel they actually will complain, they
say, you're speaking too posh. You're speaking too high. I've had
that problem. When I'm teaching a class. I'm teaching a class on al
Qaeda and Islamic theology which requires proper terminology to be
used. And people will come and say that's too complex. Well, it's
complex because the words that I use the terms that I use to
explain these deep meanings that they're the best words for
Read, you know, this is not a dummy, you know, Doris or
something of that nature. So we have that, unfortunately, we have
this level where we take the worst of the language, the slang of the
area, we start speaking in that. And actually, sometimes you have
the Indian or Pakistani or Bangladeshi influence in there as
well and it just sounds totally different to somebody else's slang
of that same area.
But in even in general, people don't speak with proper there's
very few people who will actually give a speech and you could write
that speech down, and it will be properly proper in terms of his
grammar and everything like that. But there are people who can do
that.
But we've lost that ability.
So these are all amount of the past without their word processes,
typing, sorry, spell checks,
track change, changes, you know all of mashallah, what we have
today, they produce these hundreds of volumes. So if they could do
that, then somebody who lives with Rasulullah sallallahu is and from
a young age, who Rasul Allah, as the Minister said, He's the door
of knowledge, when he makes that claim that I could fill 100 camels
with just a minute me I could laden 100 camels with the meanings
of certain Fatiha that is something well that's talking
about it to the Allah one, but the point is that the Quran is so
rich. So, there are still meanings to be to be gained from therefore,
for people who want to do that.
Hasson
Rahim Allah he says that Allah subhanaw taala revealed 104
scriptures in all 104.
But out of that all of the sciences that were contained in
those 104 were then put into four, which is the Taurat, in jewels of
Warren and for Khan. So for example, it says, Soho, Soho, yes,
sir houfy. Rahimullah Musa, that the scriptures of Ibrahim, and
scriptures of Musa alayhis, Salam scriptures, that's different from
the Torah that he had.
So Musa dishonored the Torah, then he had some sort of had some
scriptures as well. And then there were some that were sent to other
prophets as well. Ibrahim Ali Salam, etc. But the gist of the
knowledge and the sciences and all of those were placed in these
four. Then the three Terrazza Borden Injeel, that then sciences
in there were all then placed in the Quran. So the Quran constantly
refers back to the previous books and says, This is a confirmation
of what was in those books. Allah says that over and over again,
another great scholar, he says that anything that the Prophet
sallallahu sallam said, or anything he commanded its origin
has to be found in the Quran.
Either very closely, you can find it or you have to infer it, but
it's going to be from the Quran. The Quran is just so
comprehensive, that it has all of these things.
In fact, in somebody else's moment, shape and fill me in Lo
Fi, anything that is found in the universe, it's you You will find
that in the Quran. So somebody said to him to challenge him,
because giving him a random example random challenge is is a
in a vertical high nut. What about those hostels? No, people come to
stay caravanserais hostels like overnight, bed and breakfast
place. What about that? Is that in the Quran? Because the person made
this claim he says everything in the universe is in the Quran. So
he says what about those so immediately he says, lace Alikum
Juna and dead Hulu butanol you Rama schooner Tilikum, fear fie
hamata or loco
that there is nothing wrong if you enter those rooms that nobody's
staying in which you know, you've play some of your stuff, so you
kind of rented it or you're using it. So that was his way of
connecting the two. He says
that for here, Alana, that's that is the hostel you're speaking
about.
Another one, he explained the different he says Mermin shaitan
Illa. Yom Kippur is the Karachi Humann or Quran Lehmann Sokka,
Hula, hula Allah, that there is nothing but it could be
interpreted inferred from the Quran for the one whom Allah
subhanaw taala has given that insight and that depth of
knowledge.
So the Prophet sallallahu Sallam gave as much as he did during his
time, the Sahaba took it from him, and they continued to provide
the what they had heard from Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam. Each one of them took based on their ability, because
again, you've got the greatest Mufasa of the Quran Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, his words are going to be very calm.
comprehensive as well. So the Quran is comprehensive, his
explanations of the Quran are very comprehensive. So obviously from
him the different Sahaba according to the different levels, they were
able to take, and then interpret that and provide. So what you need
really for the Quran is you need
sound mind based on sound knowledge,
sound massage and a sound hearts and then read the Quran speak to
you.
Because if a person has a corrupt heart, and then he's interacting
with the Quran, the prophets Allah Islam has also told us that some
people will end to * because of the Quran. Because they will use
the Quran for false propaganda for false support for their corrupt
ways. That is why it's very important to have certain
prerequisite knowledge when it comes to the Quran to be able to
understand it, but once you have that, then you just let the Quran
speak to you and beautify your mind.
That is what the Sahaba did. And that's why different Sahaba were
able to take different amounts from Rasulullah sallallahu ideas
and based on their level of understanding.
So Abubakar Siddique or the Allahu Allah, he was probably the most
knowledgeable of everyone, he just got things. He was the one who
understood that a Prophet sallallahu Sallam when he made
that announcement that you know, you may not see me next year etc.
He is the one who understood that this means the price of Assam is
going to pass away so he was so well connected. So well in tune
with the heart of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam. Now remember
that stayed together? In times, in the most critical times when a
protester was a must have given him some some special attention in
the cave. They were together for three days, certainly one of the
most precarious times they will people were looking for them. So
can you imagine what kind of transfer of Baraka knowledge and
everything else must have happened at that time between the two? In
that time because we believe that you benefit from others? No Muslim
can deny the evil I can you? Because a lie, you know, how can
the evil eye is a truth. So if you can't deny no sim will deny the
evil eye even though it sounds strange, that you know you can
look at somebody and something will happen to them. The hadith is
very clear about that. So if somebody can affect somebody else
negatively like that, whether within 10 Two without intent, you
could do that to your children with totally no intent. You could
do that. Right. So that's why we're told to read, masha Allah
and do the thicket of Allah. So if you can negatively impact
somebody, can you positively impact someone?
So why why is it that we can impact somebody negatively, but
not positively. And we have a problem to say that if you sit
with such a person, you will be positively impacted. The prophets
Allah Islam has mentioned that not so clearly. But he's mentioned,
Allah says in the Quran be with the truth for people because
you'll benefit like that. mythologies is solid. You're the
example of a of a good companion. So it's not just being a good
companion, but there's a more deeper level to it, just like the
evil eye has a deeper level of negative impact. So that's why the
concept that many of the machines use of the word, which means an
outpouring, a certain attention, that that transfers, and of
course, that's a possibility.
And a worker, the Allah one must have been the most knowledgeable
of them. But the thing is that he was, he was very restrained. He
didn't. There's not as many Hadith from him, despite the great amount
of knowledge. And of course, he only had two and a half years. And
so in the Tamil Rasulullah, sallAllahu, alayhi wasallam.
There's no need for any Sahaba to be going around mentioning Hadith
because of course, the Muslim is there as though they did you know,
there were things that happened at that time, but much of the
narration is probably took place later on, because now you had
Rasulullah sallallahu Samad left this world. So now, people needed
guidance. So you did ask this a hobbit service that I remember a
salsa lesson saying so and so. So one of the reasons for overcrowded
and having less is he only lived for two years and some months
after Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, and then that they were
very busy period, there was no time for relaxation, he was off
trying to put down the
the rebellion and the apostates and around so the entire time was
taken up with that. When Amara, the Allahu Anhu came, then of
course his time he had a lot of free time to be able to deal with
all of these outstanding issues. And there's a lot more time to
then earthborn with the Allah one and then the youngest Sahaba like
I'm delighted ibis, Abdullah him or Omar and so on. They were able
to then provide a lot of information at that time, because
that's when it was needed. Because they lived on for 5060 years, a
lot of them afterwards. So that could be one reason though, and
then he was very restrained anyway because you know, he had that
color
action of Hadith that he had written for masuleh Salah ism is
very sensitive about
whether he got the exact words down or not so he was of that camp
which believed that you had to have the exact words from
Rasulullah it seems so he burned them he got rid of it. Then it you
know the Allahu Anhu Karim Allah which it because the Prophet
sallallahu sallam said no Medina to learn why are you in verbal Ha,
I am the City of Knowledge and Ally is the door of that
knowledge. Then you have even Abdullah the Allah Juan. He's in
fact it says that he mentioned that Jimmy OMA Abbas to who look a
minute of CD for inna Muhammad Ali and are the Allah one.
This this statement has been recorded from him he said that
everything I've told you about the Tafseer of the Quran, I've got it
from audio to the allawah. Of course the prophets Allah made dua
for him Allahumma Fuxi houfy deeN wildewood That will
of Allah give him understanding of the deen and teach him the
interpretation of the Quran.
So these are them the additional meanings that he's able to take
from the Quran, it's mentioned that he said once that low door
and he called on low budget to houfy kitab Allah, that even if I
lost a piece of string, I would find it in the book of Allah.
Meaning I'd find it through the book of Allah, I'd figure it out
somehow,
then that he took from them. And again, then you've got level. So
when it came to Sahaba, they took as much as possible. When you get
to the time of the tabby now,
you still had many of the tourbillion, who took all of the
sciences from their predecessors. So
if you start studying FIQ, you will see
Muhammad Abdul serine, who's more well known for dream
interpretation, you will see that here's the narrating Hadith, you
will see in the books of fic, that he will have an opinion when it
comes to fic. He will have an opinion interview. So he's
mentioned in order to proceed.
So he's a master of all of the sciences. You see other names?
Sorry, Musa. Yep, you see Hassan basally, you see all of these
other great aroma of the time who are able to speak
on all of these subjects. So these are the top debating. However,
after the time of the taboo aim.
I mentioned the cazalla tell him the ambition, the drive,
the aspiration, it was reduced, people became probably more busy
as we are even more busy in
today, more people are on a person is more on YouTube than He is in
the masjid. Now, is that a wrong statement to make?
Every one of us? I mean, how long are we on YouTube?
Compared to how long we're in the masjid?
Are we more on YouTube? Okay, let's just not say YouTube only.
But if we definitely say YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc, etc.
We definitely do we waste more time online than we sit in the
masjid. Probably yes. And that's even people who are religious. And
this is probably even people who are supposed to be studying and
scholars and so on. So the cars are still human, the carceral
human, human. And so now what happened is people began to be
specialized, as opposed to be a master of everything. So somebody
would then just focus on the fear he would become just he could only
focus just on taxi. Some could only focus on jurisprudence, some
could only focus on other things. So that's why you have Mr.
Rouhani. For us first focused on aqidah and theology to became a
master in that then he left any study focusing on fic yet that
still doesn't mean that they were it's not like today where you go
in and you do a specialization. Your ba if you go to German us her
or Medina University is missing universities with collegial
Hadith, Kalia to sue the Dean Kalia to Dawa. You know, Kalia to
Sharia. Where you only become Muslim when you don't know much
about everything else.
The Indian Garcinia AMI system tried to keep it as comprehensive
as possible.
But the university systems they make you specialized. That's why
today it's quite normal for
even doctors. I was talking to his doctors in our hedge group. His
wife is a volunteer doctor, and she's a GP. So she so why don't
you volunteer as well. He says, Well, I won't be able to do much
because I only deal with hearts. Right? So his cardiologist. So he
says I won't be able to deal with that. So he can't deal with normal
issues. He just deals with the heart and that's just his focus.
Whereas the Toby was even of the early like, if you see him no
Cena, he's writing about everything.
You'll hardly ever get anybody today who write about every aspect
of medicine.
there'll be just focused on muscle movement, blood sugar levels,
kidney functions, you know, there'll be very particularize. So
the and more and more so today, people are becoming more
particularized. But this all started happen. This all started
towards the end of the third time with the turbine and the turbine
where people started to become specialized. So then you still had
people who mashallah managed to master, but they were less, it
wasn't the norm anymore. There was an exception to have that. Some
have mentioned that there are 50 different sciences in a general
level in the Quran, like 50 Some have them said, No, there's
actually 400 different sciences. If you particularize it more, it
just depends on how specialized you become. There's 400 in that
sense, some have said 7000 Someone says 70,000 Just depends on what
your criteria is, and what you mean by science, what you mean by
a particular type of study. So that's really arbitrary, isn't it?
That's, we just know that the Quran has a lot of things in
there.
Allah says in the Quran, maharatna Phil kita women shape. We did not
leave anything out of the Quran.
We've mentioned everything in the Quran in whether it's Indic in by
way of indication, or clear, or it's just an indication towards it
or coming under a general principle of the Quran. So the
Quran, this is the kind of things it includes this, it speaks about
the wonders of the universe, the wonders of creation, the marvels
of the heavens and the earth. So it speaks about the cosmologies it
speaks about the cosmic system. It speaks about the upper
supernumerary worlds, it talks about what is under the earth, it
speaks about the seven layers of the earth, and so on. It talks
about the genesis, which is speaks about the beginning of creation,
but in Haluk, it speaks about the the famous prophets of the past.
So it has a prophetic history. Then it speaks about the angel so
it speaks about other creations. It speaks about previous nations
that I had the mood and fear around, etc. It speaks about the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in particular, his other
word, his expeditions, and many things that happened with him the
challenges that he had to face the responses that he gave the
questions he was asked, until he passed away. So all of that is
mentioned, then, many things I mentioned that prophecy, that
prophesize or and foretell events to occur with the Ummah after him,
it speaks about the human being, not the not just the genesis of
the human race, but it speaks about how the human is created,
how the embryonic stages it goes through, you know, when there was
no studies in the West about it. So it mentions all of those
things. It mentions everything to do with the human being until he
dies, the different levels, the different states, the different
things and senses and feelings that they will go through
anxieties that they will have a talks about the signs of the Day
of Judgment, it speaks about the Intermediate Realm between the two
the Barossa. It speaks about the hush of Jana jahannam. And it's,
it speaks about how to argue with people that reject the Quran, it
gives you some debating skills, right? It gives you all of those
things. It has aspects of engineering, ornithology, bird
study,
science, it has all of these things. It's just for it to be
discovered. But it's not a book of any one of those subjects. But it
has an aspect and it covers all of these things at some level or the
other. For men, or for other Kulpa, who featured a booty he was
at at Arctic, anybody who empties their heart gives the entire heart
for it, they will find it. This is what's missing today. There's very
few scholars, and you see that they will be scholars around the
world. There'll be famous speakers etc. They open up the you'll see
that if they've opened up their heart for the Quran. Allah
subhanaw taala provides much of that meaning to them. And that's
why when he says that,
um, word you'll bar, that the meanings of the Quran, they like
the wide seas waves, when it starts coming to you. When you've
connected with the Quran, and you are in sync.
Those ways will start coming. So one meaning will come and before
you've even stopped pondering over all the possibilities of that
meaning another meaning will overcome you. Another Pearl will
overcome you. And before you even explore all of that something else
will come over you. But you just need to connect to it. And that's
what will happen. Because that's that's the way
Waves work, one comes and then another comes, the dust doesn't
stabilize. And then another one comes, it comes one after the
other. And all of this will be according to your level of
knowledge. So the more background knowledge you have, the more
you've studied and worked hard. That's how much the Quran will
open up for you, that's how much more you will get out of it. Then
another person will look at it, who will be of a higher level of
knowledge, and he'll even pick up something else. So this is never
ending. The Quran has everything. It's the words of Allah subhanaw
taala, just like Allah is infinite, limitless, the Quran and
its meanings are infinite and limitless. And the whole point
here is that, although this is not a Quran lesson, one reason we're
looking at looking into this is because of the way he explained
it. So this tells you the level of this poet, how he
his example of the ayat of the Quran, and the way they'll come at
you, and the meanings will open up to you is like the ocean.
The problem we have in the Muslim ummah today, which is a major
problem is that the main reason by which they are the Ashraful,
mahalo gods.
Why do you think the human race has been considered to be the most
honored of Allah subhanaw taala creation? what are called corona
beneath them?
We have honored the Children of Adam Alayhis Salam, what is it?
What is the factor of honor that makes you and I and the entire
human race on it?
The fact is a shuffle will there fill in Cerney illogical that
aspect is the actual that Allah has given us the intellect.
Without the intellect, there could be no tech leaf,
the heart is there. But without the article, there could be no
concept of accountability. The whole reason we are responsible
for our decisions. The reason there's a part that can justify
there being a paradise and a hellfire. And there being free
will is the fact that we have an article that we can understand and
comprehend the signs. So we have an ability to make distinctions.
We have an ability to choose between things, to see what's good
and what's bad, what's harmful for us or what's beneficial for us. So
alcohol is that thing. And unfortunately if you look at
Muslim Ummah today, just look at ourselves and look at people that
we know, how much alcohol do we use? Do we use for honorable
things? And how much alcohol most time most of the time in? Think
think when is the last time that you we use this gray matter that
we have
the alcohol for something honorable.
Most of our time that we spend it's for indulgent purposes, to
figure out what's the best product out there in the market to figure
out the best way to acquire something to achieve something,
but we're not using the occult and Subhanallah that's why there's so
much depression in the world you'll never be satisfied.
You'll never be satisfied with anything because the satisfaction
that you will get from using your ankle in the right way. That
satisfaction cannot be It can't be it's just it's not replaceable.
That's why somebody likes a machete. He says
what Tama Hughley what Tama Hughley Torben The Hunley ro a
satin. What Tama Hughley thought I've been really handy over a
certain length during the min muda Mati hamari.
He says, My, my swaying from side to side in extreme happiness.
Because I've just resolved a complicated matter when it comes
to the Quran or something of that nature. It is more pleasurable
Allah during the it is more pleasurable for me than drinking
wine and getting the benefit from that.
Imam Shafi says that in some of his poems, he says that if you
guys knew what we're getting, it's more pleasurable than sleeping
with the best of women.
The pleasure that you get from sleeping with the best of women, I
get better pleasure here, and what I'm getting, so they've really
understood the article and what they're getting out of that.
They've understood the purpose of their creation. Allah made us a
shuffle my cards, he and the fact that the way we are a shuffle
mahalo card is that we have an akal that allows us so the more we
progress with that, that is what we will be given, but we don't use
it. This is the problem we're not willing to use. It is too
difficult. We don't want to take courses where we're fine with
listening to a bond because that's the word like watching a movie.
Listening to a bond is like watching a movie. I'm not putting
my hands down. I'm just mentioning it
The difference between listening to a bong and sitting in a serious
class where you're going, you know, you've you've, you've
decided to take a class on the Tafseer of the Quran on fake or
something like that is because when you're watching TV, you don't
have to do anything, you suspend everything. You just let it speak
to you. Let it make you cry. That's why you people watch
movies, it will, it will make them cry. It will make them
compassionate, empathize, it will make them sad, you will make them
happy. You will make them want to jump up and dance, you will make
them want to jump up and kick someone. Right? Because when you
you know when you watch the fighting, see what happens with
the kids. They they suddenly start doing you know, Kung Fu on each
other. So that's what they do. Because it's directly going into
your mind. You don't have to use your gray matter. You just open up
your mind give yourself it's nobody can hypnotize you they say
I was just looking into
hypnotic theory of therapy, therapy through hypnotic
hypnotism. And basically, there's no way they can do that unless you
allow it to happen. So if you don't want it to happen, nobody
can hypnotize you. People can only hypnotize you, if you give
yourself up to them and say, Okay, go ahead. So then you make a
disconnect between your mind and your body and your consciousness.
So then they can they can do that. And that's exactly what you do.
When you when you watch TV, you let it you let yourself go, you
Don't ponder, you're not you're not there on edge, you're totally
immersed.
And that's what we do in bands as well, which is fine. We want to be
inspired by the right thing. Nothing wrong with that. But the
reason why bands are easier to listen to,
is because there's not much thought it's just inspiration. I'm
not equating bands with watching movie, don't get me wrong. I'm
just saying that if you have to sit in a Deus in a in a lecture,
and really understand something your mind will be made to work.
Because there's interaction going on in that one, you have to
understand it, you have to make it yours, you have to personalize it,
you have to use the gray matter. People are so tired of doing that.
They don't want to do it. And last time they did an exam, they just
don't want to tax their brain. That's why we hire solicitors.
That's why we hire lawyers. That's why we hire accountants.
So we have to reclaim that otherwise, we are wasting our
time. And if you want satisfaction in this dunya start using your
your brain.
That's important. And you know so Halloween, you've understood an
issue that you didn't understand you feel at the top of the world.
It's an amazing feeling. You feel at the top of the world you feel
that much more empowered, you feel that much more powerful. And there
is a you know, there is no there's nothing else that is going to
benefit you to that level because that will continue to benefit
on and on it will open up further or to you because then he says
firmer to Abdullah talks or Ijebu. Weather whether to someone
externally beset me actually that's very simple. What he's
saying is that their mother will stand be on count and reckoning is
exactly what we've been talking about the marvels of the Quran.
They're beyond what you can anybody can say I've got to the
depths of the Quran. And I've taken it all I've got to the
bottom, there's nothing else left anymore. That's impossible. Nobody
has been able to we haven't done that with the physical ocean here.
So we can't do that with the words of Allah subhanaw taala as well.
He says firmer to I do want to so I Jay Abraham, it's Marvels is
extra ordinary aspects cannot be enumerated cannot be counted or
reckoned with none grow. And then the other thing is wala to Sam or
Alec 30 with me. None grows tired of them however off repeated
whenever you have any other song
whenever you have any other song or anything of that nature, right?
You listen to it a few times, even the sheets I mean, you know he and
then eventually, initially they used to really give you a lot of
inspiration eventually man put it off, man, I've heard that so many
times. It's banging in my ear now. You know, that's what it becomes.
But with the Quran, you can continue to listen as long as it's
original. So for example, when you listen to today's while he sounds
like CDs, not everybody in the world that want to sound like him.
I just want to mention one thing about that if you want to copy
someone, then copy somebody who's obscure. Because if you want to
copy today's for example, or you want a copy check with a fee, then
for your copying to be successful. You're not only going to copy
history, this is what most people do they only copy his tune his ups
and downs and all that. They don't they can't most people can't very
few people can actually copy the the tone, the pitch, the loudness
of the you know the voice. That is where they live.
is out. That's what it just sounds awful. So don't even do it,
especially today's very few people. And I've traveled the
world, and he's probably the most copied person I've listened to.
But there was only one person that was probably as good as that, as
you know, or it sounded good. Because either you have to get to
his level or become better than him. And it's possible, you may be
given a gift of some special bass in your voice, right, because
today says a bass and who they have, he has even a greater bass.
Right, his is very deep. So you have to copy it at that level, you
can't mess it up them. So you'd rather not copy or copy somebody
that's obscure that people don't know about, although it just
sounds awful.
And that's what people they copy people but they don't know the
tone. So they're trying to copy for example, a worker sheltering
or they're trying to copy or machinery Russia, right.
Not gonna show you machinery, Russian liquidity. Now they've got
this kind of soft tone. But they said at that pitch. If you use
that if you take machinery Russians tune at a lower level,
and it's not that that pitch, it just sounds off. It sounds dead.
So you can't just copy a tune, you have to copy the pitch, the height
or the depth. You have to produce that base. Some people some people
just don't have that there's few people you know, there's a few
people who can copy many different people and they do it quite well.
So there's a fervor in the sound sometimes somebody is tuned sounds
right, because he's in that emotional state.
Personally, one of my best readers there in the Haram is journey
because he gives you a new he's not one style. He gives you a
different experience every day especially when he reads in MACOM
Rost
what Allah He has a you know somehow it's just absolutely
beautiful because his his unique style every day he's got a
different style every day sometimes he's informed sometimes
he's not, but that's just but but the Quran will never boy you if
you read it, and you understand it. The reason why we get bored
are reading the Quran is because we don't get it when you start
reading the Quran Subhanallah
to find it. I was driving on the M 11. They were there was mashallah
greenery and a nice sun out. And I had chicken though rereading and
shaking. And it was fascinating. Because you're in nature, you're
in the fitrah it's a nice weather and you got this beautiful Quran
being rested, recited and it was it was it was absolutely
fantastic.

a lecture is to encourage 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
