so dear, dear friends dear listeners Welcome back to this
series on the sciences of the Quran today we have, we start the
second part. And what we're going to do is we're going to just
mention the other few names that Allah subhanaw taala refers to the
Quran. And just like with everything else, anything that is
multifaceted that has so many different characteristics and so
on. You could call the that pet specific things using different
names. Now what's really interesting is that in the Quran,
Allah subhanaw taala uses different names and those names
actually provide us an idea of different aspects of the Quran. So
we dealt yesterday with the name Al Quran and what that means. Now
today we move on to some of the other names. The second most
famous name of the Quran is Al Kitab, vecchie tab or in English,
the book, right, the book, the Quran is the book. And this word
Al Kitab actually comes from the word GitHub, GitHub a means to, to
gather something together. So in reality, the word GitHub actually
means to
gather something together to combine things together. Now,
that's why you get the concept in Arabic called Kathy button, which
essentially means a small contingent of an army that goes
out somewhere, because they all gathered together. And likewise,
the reason why in Arabic You call writing, or anything which is
written or the concept of writing Kitab as well, is because what
you're doing is you're combining letters together. So when you
combine letters together, you're combining them, you're gathering
them together, that's why it's actually that concept of
inscription. And putting letters together is also called kitab. So
that's actually what it means, because it gathers letters
together. That's why the Quran has also been called the Kitab.
Because it is something that gathers together, what does the
Quran gather together, it gathers a number of different things. For
example, it gathers the stories and the narratives that accounts
that I mentioned in the, the verses regarding the ACA. So it
gathers the verses together on the different subjects, the the rules,
the laws, and the various different things about the
hereafter about our inception, about past histories and so on.
All of that is gathered together. So that's why it is the Kitab it
is the only book that we need in that sense that it is the one that
gathers everything. Now what's really interesting is that one of
the early scholars of the 19th century was name was
Dr. Muhammad Abdullah daraz from Egypt. He says one of the wisdoms
or secrets and really interesting points regarding quoting the
Quran, the Quran and the Kitab. So the Quran refers to something you
recite, and Kitab is something that you write down. So like I
mentioned yesterday, these are two of the most important names which
indicates towards the fact that the Quran is has been preserved in
writing, and also in recitation, which is through the heart, it's
in the hearts of people. And it is also written and that is the way
that this Quran has been has been preserved and has been transmitted
all the way to us. So, Allah subhanho wa Taala is the one who
actually said in so Allah subhanho wa Taala said in circle hedger,
verse 90, verse nine, in an act known as the carova in Allah hula,
have you alone, we have revealed this remembrance meaning the
thicker is also the Quran, we've revealed this remembrance and we
are the ones who will protect it. So now Allah subhanho wa Taala if
he's going to protect the Quran, and he's promising to protect it,
he's, he's, he's declaring that it will be protected, then that
clearly tells you that he is going to also provide the means for
doing that. And that is the beans of the Quran has always been
written and we've got some very early Quran is written from the
time of Earth man of the Allahu Anhu. And it's going to be
memorized from generation to generation. Allah subhanaw taala
is going to protect the Quran from being changed from alteration from
interpolations from any additions have additional additional ideas
in it or reductions, taking things out emissions and so on and so
forth. That's why
Did Allah subhanho wa Taala took the responsive responsibility
himself to do it, as opposed to that when it came to the other
divine, the other divine Scriptures that Allah subhanaw
taala had revealed of the past Allah subhanho wa Taala says, for
example, in sort of the verse 44 What up Bernie, you and our Ruby
Mr. Phil Minh kita villa,
de Rabbani Yoon, and about these are their priests and others,
their people have, you know, who ascribed themselves to God,
because we must don't feel mean kita Villa AB matale by La him
Bhima toady by either him Hallo, because they had been sought out
to protect it. They're the ones who have been given the
responsibilities. So it was men in other communities before us and
other nations before us. It was actually people that were provided
the responsibility and they could not fulfill that responsibility
properly. Allah subhanho wa Taala kept this responsibility to
himself. Of course, it's our responsibility as well. But Allah
subhanho wa Taala make sure Allah maintains that and there's a
reason for that. Allah could have preserved the other books if you
wanted to, but he let that he let that be overcome by the nature of
things in this world, that things can be changed in this world, but
with the Quran, very special measures were put into place. And
the reason for that is quite simple, that the Quran number one
is a book that follows all the others and it is supposed to be an
end, a book that is not going to end until the Day of Judgment.
It's supposed to be effective until the day of judgment for all
of humanity. And for all of jinn kindness, while it is supposed to
be something that we will benefit from. It is not a temporary book,
all the others were temporary, they may be in for a few 100
years, but they were still temporary when it comes to the
Quran. It's for 1000s of years. And so so so far we've had 1400
years, however many more years this Quran will remain like that,
and so far, it's not being changed and inshallah it will not be
changed again at all according to what the Quran says. And that that
is one of the reasons why it has to be preserved in that way. And
Allah subhanaw taala knows best that's why he says well who will
Hakeem will only Allah subhanho wa Taala is the wise one and he is
the knowledgeable one move moving on to some of the other names
probably less than no names. Another very famous and well known
name of the Quran is a no it is the light. So the Quran is a light
Allah subhanho wa Taala says in certainly service 174 years, you
haven't done so called Khun Bo Hanim Europe become Zanna. EComm
no more Bina
oh people
has come to you have proof from your Lord. And we have revealed to
you a clear light we have caused to descend upon you a clear light.
What has liked got to do with the Quran I mean many of you will be
able to work this out probably know anyway, is that the Quran for
the human being? The Quran for us is what shines the way it's what
illuminates the path, it tells us and provides us a light that this
is the right this is the wrong this is the truth and this is the
falsehood and this is halal. And this is haram. It provides the it
works in tandem with the occult, with the human intellect the human
intellect tries to work things out, but there's certain things
that it cannot figure out in terms of what is right and wrong, right
in terms of how something is going to affect us in terms of the
hereafter and so on in terms of what's to come. So that's why the
Quran is there to provide us that Guiding Light and that's why the
Quran is alight. Then another name that we're going to look at today
is L for con because that's a very well known name of the Quran is
called L for con Allah subhanahu wa Allah says
in surah tool for con itself Allah subhanho wa Taala says the baroka
Levinas journal for Karna IBD Healy, Kunal inland Amin and VIERA
bless it is he who revealed the criterion Alpha con the criterion
upon his servant, so that the he could be a winner for all of
mankind. So it could be a one a he could be a wonderful mankind, for
con comes from the word distinguishing, to make
distinctive to separate and for con because again the Quran that's
exactly what it does. It's the criterion it separates between the
good and bad, right and wrong, and it provides that benefit happened
Bartelt Iman and CO for halal and haram good and good and bad,
higher onshore, and so on. That's what it provides what is guidance?
And what is Miss guidance that is that what the Quran does? So those
were the names in brief, we're not going to discuss them too much.
Now we move on to another aspect which is that the Quran is a
revelation. The Quran is a ye and we hear this word all the time.
This concept of worry
So now let us move on to the discussion about how the Quran is
a revelation, how it was revealed, what's the nature of this
revelation and so on. And this is a really, really, really
interesting discussion. Let us start off first with trying to
understand what this word what he means. I mean, you guys have heard
this probably the Quran is a worry. It's a revelation. So what
exactly does he mean? Let us talk Let us ask a very early
lexicographer, a linguist whose name was YBNL Faris the IGNOU
forest is a very famous electric lexicographer. He says that this
is us lone doula, il co L min fi Ilahi. Eric? Well, why you,
Alicia? Well, why are you al Kitab, we're reseller we're called
Luma. We're called Luma ultdata, who Ilahi DECA Hata Alima HuFa Hua
Yun que ver con and this is what he says. So essentially, the
concept of Ye is anything that you will inspire someone else with,
that you will convey to somebody else with write in a very subtle
way. It's not like here, take this necessarily, it's in a very subtle
way that something is conveyed to someone else. It's almost like a
gesture, an indication, like, it's just the gesture is a way where he
is very, very subtle, you can hardly tell that it's happening,
but the other person finds out about it. Of course, it could be
done in more manifest ways, like through a book through something
written through a message through somebody else as well, that it
could be done that way as well. But the basis of a worry is that
it's very, very, very subtle, and very secretive. In that sense.
It's very subtle, it can be done without anybody knowing,
essentially, whenever you give anybody as gesture, right? In a
code, language or otherwise, and they understand what you're
saying, like when you say no, don't do that. Now, they will
understand the point. That is also a sense of why in the linguistic
sense of it.
Right? So why includes an idea of something being understood and
conveyed very, very fast, a very, very quick conveying of a certain
meaning. That's what you get from that. So
the word where he has been used for others as well. So for
example, not just the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Allah
subhanaw taala says in certain postures, verse seven, whoa Hanaa
Musa, an oral D, we inspired we conveyed an eye, we conveyed this
message to Musa to the mother of Musa actually, that you should
nurse him. Now Musa Allison's mother is not a prophet, but she
is receiving a ye. That's in a very particular context. That's
not the normal way because I said the word ye means to give somebody
information to convey something to them. So likewise, Allah subhanaw
taala is saying that we did the same thing to Musa salaams mother,
that we conveyed to her this information that you should look
you carry on you, you go ahead and use this child. Likewise, it's
used in a very negative sense as well, just in the in the literal
sense. Allah subhanahu wa taala says, in Surah Al Anam, verse 121,
we're in Nichelle two in Hola, yo Hona, in only in New Jersey, they
do come that the shayateen they also do ye, meaning they also pass
on information in a very subtle way towards their friends, so that
they can dispute with you. So shaytan is also doing, literally
speaking, conveying this very quick method of a whisper. In his
case, it will probably be a whisper. So anyway, so that's the
literal meaning of why, but when it comes to the Quran, the
technical definition of why that's a very, very particular
definition, what exactly is why with relationship to the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the Quran? So I'm going to define it
for you as the scholars have defined the sheikh nor the
narrator. This is the way he's defined it says, Phil, why you who
love Allah, He to Allah Lehman is tougher, who Lehman is tougher,
who mean everybody bitterly you can huffy yet in Saudi out in
the water, He is Allah subhanho wa taala, informing the one from
among his servant that he has chosen and specially selected,
using a very subtle and a very quick procedure, a very quick
method, very subtle, very method you can hardly tell is there he's
got the knowledge, it's like, it's almost like, like,
an information that you get, like immediately It just occurs to you.
Now, the way we're going to try to understand how that exactly
happened. This is the interesting part that how exactly was this
communication between Allah subhanaw taala and His messenger?
Now the best place to find that out is actually from the Hadith of
the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam where he actually describes this.
So the Prophet salallahu Salam actually goes on to describe how
he would receive the revelation. So for example, the first one,
it's a hadith in Bukhari Muslim and many others. The prophets
Allah Allahu Allah says, Oh, well Oh, my booty Abby here Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Minal ye wrote your Salah had to have in
Nome, the first of the revelations of the ye
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam received were actually in
pious dreams, righteous dreams in his sleep.
So the first type of communication that Allah subhanaw taala provided
to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was through his dreams
for cannula Euro ro Ian Elijah at myth, Elijah at myth, Lu falak is
sub sub, whenever he would see a dream, whenever he would see a
dream, it would, very soon, very quickly, the next day when he
would wake up, it would essentially become a reality just
like the morning is so bright and so evident. Right, so he would see
something in his dream. And then after it will become very clear,
after that, the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam was made to made
was basically made to like to stay in solitude. So that's why he
would retreat to the heart to the cave. And that's where he would
stay in, in in the cave of Hira. And that's where he would do some
kind of worship, some kind of meditation, some kind of worship
for a given number of days. And then after that, he would come
back, and he would take provisions and he would go back to there
because there were no stores or anything down there. He would
actually take some food and so on, and then he would come back. Now
what happened is that while he was in this process, where he would go
to these places for a few days each time and then he would come
back, you'd go there again, on one of these occasions, he was
suddenly there when suddenly an angel appears in front of him.
Right, in a form an angel, probably in the form of a person
or something comes in front of him. And the angel says
ikura read. So the Prophet sallallahu sallam said Myrna
Bukhari in I don't know how to read, I cannot read. So this angel
takes hold of him and embraces him to such a degree that it's very
hard, very powerful embrace. And he says it was like to, to my
extent that I couldn't bear it any longer. And then he let me go. And
then he said, again, read. And again, I said, I don't know how to
read. So again, he takes ahold of me again, and gives me this
really, really strong embrace, and again, takes me right to my end,
and then he lets me go. And then again, he says, Read. So I said,
Marina Bukhari in
Marina Bukhari now, in this case, it's the same words as before Matt
and Bukhari, in which we've been translating so far as I do not
know how to read because of obviously Watson did not, was not
taught how to read, okay, to read and write. Now, on this occasion,
it's the same words, but many have interpreted this as saying, What
should I read? If you're so insisting, okay, what should I
read ma n or Bukharin? Again, in Arabic, this could mean What
should I read? And it can also mean I'm I do not, I am not a
reader. So what should I read? So in this case, when he asked that
question, that's when he built it he Salam said it, Cora Bismillah
Beacon, the HOT DOG HOT, call us. I mean, either, Cora whare Bukal,
Quran, Allah, the AI lemma, we'll call them, read in the Name of
your Lord who created who created the insulin, the human being from
a clot and read in the Name of your Lord who is most benevolent,
the one who taught by the pen. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
salam, this for him. This was an amazing experience. It was an
extraordinary, very incredible experience. And it was very
difficult for the Prophet salallahu Alaihe salam to figure
this out. It was like all of a sudden, he'd never had this
experience before. Yes, he'd had some dreams. But this was an a
very unusual experience, not something that you have normally,
it's almost like he he he had this huge.
The experience was so profound that you can only tell by the way
he felt afterwards because it said that after that he quickly went
back home, and his heart was trembling. His heart was shaking,
right? He probably did not know what to make of this. So quickly,
he went in and Hadiya been to Hawaii with his wife are the
Allahu Anhu was at home. So he went in there and he said zombie
loony zombie Loony, which means cover me up, cover me up. Now
that's a really interesting idea. When a person is terrified of
something when a person is really perturbed in some way, it really
helps. That's why you give people a hug when they're terrified of
something. It just kind of helps there's a there's a certain
benefit that you get certain comfort that you feel so he it's
almost like he was feeling cold. And that's why it was he asked to
be wrapped up. So then that's what they did. Until finally this. This
this terror and this, this, this feeling disappeared from him. So
then after that, that's when he told her these are the Allahu anha
liquid hashy To Allah NFC. I'm actually fearful of myself like
what happened to me what kind of an experience is this? What who
was this person? Right and is this what's going on here? Right? And
what He's fearful of is that maybe this is the shaytaan or something
else and immediately Khadija the Allahu Ana says color Wallah. He
may use Zeke Allahu Abba. There is actually no way that ALLAH SubhanA
wa Taala will
humiliate you. There's no way that you could be humiliate. And then
she gives reason this is his wife and she's giving reasons why he
cannot be humiliated. Because in Nicola Tassilo Rahim, because what
you're you're you're very good at tying the knots of kinship, you're
very good with your relatives with your family, right. And what that
means will kill what took simple math do or took the day for tour
in an hour, it will help. So you mentioned these five points about
him, you're very good with your family, you're always good with
them, you don't break up and everything like that. You carry
the burdens of others, you help others and you carry their
burdens, right. You don't let them do it themselves. You assist those
who don't have to earn right you assist those who don't have you
help them earn and you you make them you benefit them in that way.
You also are very hospitable to your to your guests took the day
if you are hospitable to your guests, and you assist people
whenever they have any difficulty whenever you know they have any
calamities or any other difficulties in life, you assist
them. Now these essentially she had this belief that if there was
somebody of that nature, I mean this is a perennial belief that
anybody who's a good person like that they can't be overcome by the
devil they cannot be influenced by the devil this is not necessarily
an Islamic idea from before, right? Clearly this is as Muslims
we believe in this but this was something that they also believed
and that's why Khadija the Allah and said that there's no way that
you could be negatively influenced by the shaytaan. However, she had
a cousin whose name was what aka Nofal ignore, ignore acid even
Abdullah Russa, who was her cousin brother, and he injure Hillier
time, he'd left the religion of the, you know, the people of
Makkah of worshipping idols and so on. He'd actually become a Nasrani
and Nazarene which is a follower of SRA salam from whatever he
found. So she quickly took him to him because he was he was the most
knowledgeable person that she knew. And they needed to interpret
this experience. What's going on here? Who is this that they saw?
Who is this that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam had seen? Right?
This worker is no fool. He could actually write in Hebrew, he knew
how to write Hebrew. And that's why he would write the Evangel the
Bible right in Hebrew, right? And, you know, probably he would teach
it to people or whatever the case is, but by this time, he'd become
very old and he'd actually become blind as well. Hadees or the Allah
said, my cousin, can you please listen to your, to your to your
cousin, please? Meaning the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam,
he's not his. He's not his cousin, but you just refer to him as the
cousin. So what I said, Okay, son of my, my brother, what did you
see? What was your experience? So the Prophet sallallahu Sallam told
him exactly what happened. So now what occur immediately because
he's read the early books, he's read the books, and he's seen how
Gibreel Ali Salam comes and the angel comes to the prophets. He
said, Yes, this is the same angel that had come down to Musa alayhis
salaam. He says, Oh, how I wish I was younger and stronger. How I
wish I was younger and stronger. And then he said,
How I wish that I would be alive when your people will humiliate
you, when they will degrade you. So he can see it all immediately.
He can see it all because he said, This is exactly what happened
before. So the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, our mortgaging your
home, are they going to evict me? Are they going to throw me out?
Are they going to expel me from here? And he said, Yes, No man has
come with something just like what you have come with, meaning the
experience that you have had with this angel, right? Anybody who's
had that they have been dealt with enmity, right? People have become
the, the enemy. And he says, if then he said to him, that the day
when this happens, if I am to be found on that day, then I will
fully assist you, I will assist you in the fullest manner.
However, he did not remain that long. And very soon afterwards, he
passed away very soon afterwards, he passed away. Now, there's
another Hadith in where a job if not Abdullah Al on Saudi Radi
Allahu Anhu is talking about what happened is after the initial
revelation, what happened is that the province of awesome didn't
have a revelation for a very long time, it stopped, right? He was
looking forward to it, and then suddenly it stopped. So that's
that time is what you call the Federal Bureau. He this happened
right at the beginning, after that it would happen continuously, you
know, for the other 23 years for the rest of the 23 years. But in
the beginning, there was a massive gap in between. And
so in this hadith, it says that, once the Prophet salallahu alayhi
salam said that once I was walking when I suddenly heard
a sound from the sky, so I looked up for a fact to basally I looked
up at the heavens, and suddenly there is an angel, right? There is
an angel there, and he is
he
He has come to Hara. And he is sitting there on a chair between
the heavens and the earth. Now, that's a vision that he had. He
saw him like that. Now, of course, there's no cameras and all that,
hey, let me take out my camera and take this picture or something
like that, you know, this was an experience that probably still
awesome. It's an extraordinary experience. I don't think anybody
would be thinking about a camera at that time. And he says for it
to mean who so this is another version of that event that I
became, I became very terrified by this. So I returned and I said,
Zoom melanism Maloney, and then after that Allah subhanaw taala
revealed the next verse to be revealed after Ecuador bismi the
rest of the surah may have come down later, but the next verse
that came down was your, uh, you have death in
the world back if I can bear with ya Baca Fatah here. We're rouges
ephah jewel, one atom notice tech field. So this is the beginning
verses of certain would fit, right oh person who is wrapped up or one
who is wrapped up, stand up and warn the people for under what
Rebecca can bear and magnify your Lord, extol your Lord
and purify your clothing and a number of these different
guidances were provided to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam. So now you've had two experiences, we've learned of two
experiences. One is where the angel comes in, says the words of
the revelation of the Quran to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam. And this other one, which is a bit ambiguous as to
exactly how he heard this, we don't really know. So let us try
to look at all the Hadith to try to understand how exactly the
revelation would come to the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam if
there were other ways as well, the first, the best thing for us to do
in this case is that let us first look at a verse in surah. Two
Shura in the Quran verse 51, Allah subhanaw taala says,
well, America and Ally Bashar in a you can leave a hula hoop in
Washington or New hijab in a we will say La Rasulillah for you
here be izany Hema Yasha
in Hawaii Yun Hakeem
it is not for anybody for any human being that Allah subhanaw
taala speaks to them except
by revelation, ye or from behind a veil, or that Allah subhanaw taala
will send a messenger right, who would then can communicate this by
the will of Allah subhanho wa Taala by the permission of Allah
as much as he wishes and Allah subhanho wa Taala is the Allah is
the high one and the y is one. So in this verse, which is the
conclusive which is a conclusive verse of the Quran, Allah subhanaw
taala is saying, there are three ways that Allah subhanaw taala
communicates with people, number one, either by direct revelation,
why, number two, from behind the veil, which is also a source of
Revelation, it's also a source of communication. It's also a type of
whether you call it a revelation. And number three, he sends a
messenger generally an angel that we're speaking about. So this is
telling us about three parts. Right? This is telling us about
three ways that this happens. The first one is by that really quick,
subtle, very invisible kind of communication, right? The second
one is where Allah subhanaw taala will speak to them from behind the
veil. So you can't see Allah subhanaw taala, but he will speak.
This is exactly what happened with Musa alayhis salam as well and
with the Prophet sallallaahu Salam on several occasions. And the
third one is where the angel will come. So the communication is done
through a messenger, which is the angel. Now what we're going to
look at is the OMA have actually studied the various different
Hadith about this. And they've tried to bring together all of the
different narrations, all of the different information that we
have, regarding how Allah subhanaw taala would communicate with the
Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam and how this Quran eventually was
compiled together in the way it was. So the first one is a ruya
aside, which is the dreams, right? And I've mentioned the Hadith from
Aisha to the Allahu Anhu about this before, where the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam before he actually received any manifest way
from from Allah subhanho wa taala. He started off with dreams. The
second one is that the angel will come, an angel would arrive and it
would the angel would inspire the revelation directly into the
heart, the mind of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he
would not see the angel, he would know that there's an angel there,
right because he was having this experience and he was like he was
giving him this message. Right and the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
would download it almost you could say, right? There's a hadith
that's related by Imam Hakeem in his mustard rock from YBNL Masuda
the Allahu anhu, where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
in the rural kudos NEFA theory, that the angel right, this Holy
Spirit has inspired this directly into my heart into my into my
soul, essentially. Right and what was it and that particular
occasion? It was an innocent Lindamood I had the test
communities Kochava tabula. Well, as you may know, if you thought
that was the verse that no knifes would die until they fully acquire
all of the sustenance has been written for them. So now you fear
Allah. And
look, look for your wealth in the best of ways, right? Don't resort
to bad means and bad ways of earning your wealth. So that we're
being told that it's the angel that's coming and directly
inspiring but the promises and does not see the angel. Number
three. Now remember all of these words that we're going to discuss
the seven or eight types that we're going to discuss, they all
are some form of the three that we discussed earlier. It's a
revelation, a quick communication, or it's done through behind a
veil, or it's done through a messenger, sometimes all three
things are combined together or two of them are combined together
as well. The third one, the third type is where an angel would come.
And in the form of a man, generally, that was in the here,
Kobe Radi Allahu Anhu was formed, he was a very, very handsome
Sahabi. And sometimes when Junior Islam used to come, he used to
come in the form of de cultura, the Allah one, right, the
prophets, Allah would figure it out. Others wouldn't. And the
reason why the hair color the Allah on why he would come in the
form of a human being, is because so you didn't want this huge angel
coming always in town. Right? Because that will really cause a
lot of confusion. And you know, it would attract too much attention.
So it would come in the form of a human being, right. So we would
think, Oh, it's just a man, maybe it's a stranger. Sometimes it
would be a stranger, sometimes he would be somebody that they could
maybe recognize, but he was not there at the time, like they're
here. We'll be ready Allah one. However, as you know, the famous
hadith of Gibreel, which is the first Hadith in many books, as
well, the the first hadith of Sahih Muslim, for example, the
hadith of Gibreel, at Eastern where he comes in the form of a
human being with jet black hair, right, white clothes, nobody
recognized him. So it was an absolute strangers, he was not the
helical gear or the Allahu, and in this case, he came. And this was
to create an enigma at this particular point in time, he
wanted to attract people at this time. He is a stranger, he's come
from out of town, but you don't see that his clothes are soiled or
anything like that. He's got jet back black hair, white clothes,
and he's then comes and sits really close to the boxer lives
and starts asking him questions. So an angel would come like that
as well. Number four,
an angel would come in a state in his angelic state, and provide
this ye and revelation to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam. Now, the royalism describes this one as being the
most difficult one. This experience was one in which it
says that when this would happen, he couldn't necessarily see that
angel all the time. But he says he would hear almost like the ringing
of bells almost grew, this ringing of bell sound. That's how he would
know it is the ye coming from the prophecy coming through the angel.
Right? That was the most severe form on him, he would find it very
difficult to absorb that one. It was like the revelation is coming
down and he's absorbing the ye. I'll give you a bit more about
that. The fifth one is where Gibreel Alehissalaam would come.
And this only happened twice where God like Islam came in His
original form. So the prophets of Allah Islam in this case saw
Jabril and Islam in His original form. Now the original form of
Jubilee rally Salaam is awesome, right? It is, he had essentially
when he saw him, he saw him. If you go out of the Harlem today
from King AbdulAziz gate and you go up towards the Kings palaces,
that place is called a Gian. That is where the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam saw
Djibouti Lottie Salaam in all of his glory, wings outstretched,
right? And he was essentially encompassing the whole of the East
and the West, there was an awesome sight. That was the one time where
he saw Him in His original form. And the second time or the other
time that he saw Him in His original form is as mentioned in
the Quran in surah, najem right, in certain najem verses 13 to 18.
Allah subhanaw taala says, what are called the Gunas Latin Ohara
Are you see the Lattimore Taha Are you there? Hi, Jen, Natalie, we're
at OSHA Siddaramaiah OSHA amaza boss or warmer Tahoe Laqad mean to
be Hill Kuvera. So he sees him up in the heavens on their journey on
their ascension journey on the night of the Mirage. That was the
time the other time when he got a vision of him in his original
form. Now,
all of these besides the first one, which is clearly dreams, all
the other ones, all of them are to do with what Allah subhanaw taala
says in the Quran that Allah subhanaw taala will send an angel
and the angel will then inspire the words and communicate the
words that Allah subhanaw taala has message to the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam or to the messengers Now, number six
X is where Allah subhanaw taala speaks to the Prophet. Right the
sixth type of communication is where Allah subhanaw taala speaks
to the prophet from behind a veil. So you they would know that it's
Allah subhanaw taala speaking to them, but they couldn't see
anything. This happened during the Miraj were after the province the
last one was given. Right? So you know, the time when the province
also was given 50 prayers and Allah subhanaw taala met with the
province allies and the majority of the Sahaba their opinion is
that Allah was actually seen by the Prophet sallallahu Sallam the
Prophet saw some actually saw Allah the majority believe that
okay, the majority believe that, right? So we're not talking about
that's a very special communication that happened, okay.
However, after that, when Allah when the Prophet salallahu Salam
kept coming down and going back and Musa Islam kept sending him
back up and saying that no, you must decrease it, you must
decrease it, your ummah will not be able to do 50 prayers. There's
just too much in a day. I mean, imagine if we had 50 prayers to do
in a day. Imagine if you had to do 50 present a day that would be
very difficult. So thank Musa alayhis salam, right. So now
whenever he he would go back and then it would be decreased and
finally on the final moment, Allah subhanaw taala said to Dr. Salah
and this was behind the veil it says come to Fetty Lottie we'll
have to either a buddy okay, this is the final decision, I have
lightened the burden on my OMA so it will be five and they will
other than my you but they will call you later. Yeah. And there
was some other things that look the words never changed. So you
will have to you will do five prayers but you'll still get the
reward of 50 All of this communication was done at that
time as well. Likewise, when Musa Islam had that very special
experience of Allah subhanaw taala speaking to him, which you know
when he heard from new DM in shelter in Word, Amen He Philbrook
it the mobile raka team in a Shara and Musa in the Allahu Akbar Allah
Allah me, what an experience. He heard the sound coming from a bush
from a tree, right? So he couldn't see Allah subhanho wa taala. But
he knew this was Allah. And the sound they say that Allah has
words when he speaks according to many opinions is that this is not
a sound that you can actually hear the way you're hearing me right
now. According to some it's like that. But others they say that
this is a special communication that you actually
absorb, absorb with every pore of your body. It's an experience that
you actually take the communication and you absorb it.
It's not like you hear something through your ears, but your whole
body is needed more like a 3d 4d experience. Right? When Allah
subhanaw taala speaks to somebody and that's what made Musa alayhis
salam, the Kaleem of Allah, the interlocutor with Allah. I mean,
Allah subhanaw taala spoke to all the prophets, right? He will
reveal to all the Prophet he would send messages to all the prophets
and the revelation for Musa Islam is considered that because, you
know, this was a very special occasion and the way it was done,
that he had the words of Allah subhanaw taala speak to him. That
was the sixth type. And I mean, there's very subtle differences
between them if you're confused, and the seventh one is where Allah
subhanaw taala speaks directly
to the prophets, Allah Allahu Allah, which I've already
indicated towards this one, the prophets, Allah subhanaw taala
speaks directly to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam without an
angel, without any other intermediary without a veil. And
this was, this is what happened once right especially, which is
when the Prophet also went on the ascension and he saw Allah
subhanaw taala and
Allah subhanaw taala spoke to him directly. You see, not everybody
can receive a revelation from Allah subhana wa taala. In this
very special way, you need to be prepared for that. And the
prophets Allah Lawson's heart was actually prepared more than once
to receive these special revelations from Allah subhanaw
taala. One was when he was still, in his wet nurses house Halima the
Allah Juana and his heart was taken out, his body was split, his
chest was split, his heart was taken out and specially washed.
Right. And his brothers, they were very worried about what was
happening to him and so on. But that was Gibreel Ali Salam, the
angels had come to wash his wash his heart, right to make it
special, because you know, it's not, you can't get the words of
Allah subhanaw taala in your heart in the way that always a lot of
them had to receive it, to then give it to everybody. And so we
have the Quran today, he was prepared specially also when he
went on the ascension, the Mirage, the same thing happened there
again. So there were two or three times when this experience
happened, where his heart was specially prepared for this.
Now, let us just understand the several types of revelation that
let's just understand them a bit more in terms of the nature of it.
So for example
one thing we know is that when the Prophet said Watson would receive
a ye remember these are the words of ALLAH, the eternal Words of
Allah are being sent down to the Prophet sallallahu sallam. Now, I
don't know if you've noticed, but when you're taking a very, very
heavy download on your system
All right, when there's a huge download your process and
everything will act up, right, it will generate a lot of heat
because it's doing a lot of calculations to receive all of
this information. There's a burden upon it. Now I know that's not
exactly what is happening here. But just to give you an idea when
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is receiving, when the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa Salam is receiving this Words of Allah,
what is he receiving? Not just anything, these are the special
words of Allah. That means there's a huge heaviness in that the
Prophet salallahu alayhi salam used to actually become heavy used
to start sweating. That is what's mentioned. So I inshallah the
Allahu Anhu relates the hardest job no Hisham once asked the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, ya rasool Allah, how does
the ye come to you? Tell us how you receive the why even
understand the nature of it. So the prophets Allah I'm obliged, he
says, a urine and yet teeny, Miss LaSalle Salah till juris.
Sometimes it comes to me like the ringing of bells, meaning I don't
see anything, but I hear like the ringing of bells. Right? Now, it
doesn't have to be literally the ringing of bells, but it seems
like this kind of incessant sound, not don't think that it has to be
like, bing, bing, bing, bing, you know, this ringing of a bell, it
doesn't have to be like that. It's just showing that, you know, when
you ring a bell, there's an incessant continuous sound, like,
you know, just, you know, like a continuous sound. It could be
something like that. He says it's like, during, like an incessant
continuous sound. And then he said
that that is the most difficult one for me, that's the most
difficult one for me to bear. And then after that, that sound goes
away. That state goes away from me. And I just remember what was
told me told to me. So the communication, the revelation, I
just remember it afterwards. Right? So I don't have to do
anything, but I have to undergo this really, really difficult
experience. And then after that, I get released from that. And
suddenly I know the verses, right? Then he said, On other occasions,
an angel is comes to me in the form of a man and he speaks to me.
So then I just memorize what he says. So that's the one through
the angel. I shot at the Allahu anha says, in explaining she says,
I have seen him. When the revelation was coming down to him
when he was coming down to him. It was a very severely cold day.
Right? It was a very cold day, and the revelation was coming down to
him. And when the revelation finished when this experience was
over, he was sweating.
So it's a freezing day, but he was sweating after the after the
experience.
So that's the one of them. And there's another Hadith related
from Sati who obeyed from ignore Ibis or the Allahu Anhu.
There's a verse in the Quran in surah trochlea Mala to Heinrich
Mihaela, Sana Colita jalebi, that don't quickly move your tongue so
that you know you can rush to memorize the Quran which I talked
about yesterday as well. Right? Because when the revelation would
come to Providence, and I would try to repeat it quickly, so that
he could really quickly memorize it. So Allah said, you don't need
to do that anymore. Right? So if not Abbas or the Allahu Anhu says
that let me do this for you. So he started moving his lips, the way
he'd seen the prophets Allah moving his lips and then say there
are the Allah who said he didn't obey the tabby who'd seen this
from birth to the Allahu Anhu and was then relating this incident
later on. He says, let me do that for you as well. Let me show you
how the Prophet saw some would move his lips. However, after
that, that was only in the beginning. After that Allah
subhanaw taala revealed this verse led to heartbreak be Healy Sana
Colita jalebi in arlena jemar Who
don't move your lips so fast, right? To rush this like this. We
will have you memorize it, we will have you read it, and we will have
you memorize it. And that's exactly what would happen. Right?
The promise the last one then would just listen, and he would
have just memorized whatever would happen. Right? Okay, the next one,
which we're going to have to Inshallah, leave this for
tomorrow. The next one is where the Prophet salallahu Salam would
have an experience where he would hear like the humming like the
buzzing of bees. So it's really interesting. You have the
incessant sound of a bell first. And in this particular one,
he it's like the, it's like the buzzing of bees. So that's this,
that's the other experience that he would have. This is really
interesting Inshallah, we will continue with this tomorrow. The
Zocalo here may Allah subhanaw taala bless everyone and may Allah
subhanaw taala bless this Ramadan and make it better than any
Ramadan before it and allow us to be in touch with the Quran. And I
