Medina, Amma bird, our dear listeners, our dear friends out
there.
Today we come to the discussion of edges will Quran Al Karim now
we've been talking about this for the last
few weeks we've been referring to the edges of the Quran the Quran
is inimitable the Quran is the challenge the Quran is a miracle.
So now we start today's discussion regarding how the Quran is a
miracle. What makes the Quran a miracle. So firstly, let us start
with the terms as we normally do. We've got the term Marchesa,
right. So the concept of ages ages, very similar, or the word is
related to the word. Marchesa. Marchesa is something which has a
jazz What does a jazz mean? The concept of ages in Arabic means
debilitation. It means incapacity, it means in capability when
somebody is Arges. Right, a person can't do anything, he's been
incapacitated. That's what you call a person whose age is the one
who is unable to do something. So ages, it means to make somebody
like that to render somebody
fatigued to REM render, somebody incapable to take away their power
to strip away their power to give them such a challenge that they
cannot take it head on. That's what you call a jazz. That's the
concept that jazz. So the thing which does this the thing with
challenges in this way, and debilitates, which is
unchallengeable and inimitable is the more Gza that's what a mind
user is now. So in many languages, you know that Muslims speak
Urdu and English and Bengali and the various other language
Malaysia Malaysian Malay rather and Indonesian etc. You know, they
use the word Marchesa. This is a Marchesa, in the sense that this
is amazing. This is extraordinary. But really the way it's
extraordinary The reason is extraordinary. The reason it goes
against the norms and so on is because it's not something other
people can replicate.
Right? It's not something the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
having water literally burst out of his fingers to such a degree
that a whole army is then satiated with this water, right quench
their thirst is quenched with this water that comes out just bursting
out I mean, it's a miracle at the end of the day, you know, you
can't do this this is something that just cannot be done. So this
is the way they define in Arabic. Cameroon, Harlequin will add
macaroon betta hottie ma de milho Arada. It is a matter an affair,
an event, which goes against the norms, which is extra ordinary,
beyond what is normal, which is that's that's just the event,
which is extraordinary. There's lots of extra ordinary events that
take place, but this one for two for it to be a Marchesa. It has to
be as
associated with a challenge. The person whose it's been
demonstrated by or demonstrated for, is providing a challenge of
some sort is making a claim of some sort. And then this event is
being demonstrated to prove the veracity of that claim. Ma, Ma Ma
Ma Arada means without there being a response, without there being a
match without somebody being able to, to do it. That's a Marchesa.
So the claim is generally that I'm a prophet. That's the claim that
I'm a prophet. So believe me, and here you go. This is a Marchesa,
this is I'm going to demonstrate this for you. Right? So this is to
show you that I'm definitely claiming something from beyond
what is normal, normal, and what is ordinary, and God is helping
me. And nobody is able to respond to that challenge. So there's many
people who have claimed these kinds of things here, look at this
claim that I've made, and I'm making this claim I'm a prophet.
And look, this is
my sign, you know, this is my proof. This is my event. But then
they were it just fell,
for example, with musei Lama when he claimed to be a prophet, and he
did a few things he took his saliva and trait or he I'm not
sure that was not necessarily everyone that he put his he took
his saliva Yes, he took his today when he put it into a well that
didn't have very pleasant water. The way the progress that allows
him did and the water mashallah became pleasant, but with Macedo
when he did that, he actually became worse, it became
undrinkable, right became very bad. On another occasion, the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam had passed his feet his hand and bless
it hands over the eyes of somebody that were hurting, and mashallah,
he became better. We'll see them I tried to do that by his claim of
profit. And he tried to pass his hand over and the other guy also
became bad, right? So it's either Bill Maher, or that there's the
challenge cannot be met, whereas in this case, the challenge has
been met or it's failed completely.
Now, there are other words that are also used in Arabic for a
Marchesa, one is de la isla Nobu, right, which is called the proofs
of prophets prophecy, that it because it's a prophet that is
calling for that to happen, and claiming that he's a prophet, and
he's demonstrating something. So that's a proof of his prophecy.
That's what it's also called delight in the world. That's why
you actually have books on this subject called della Enugu. Right?
Number two, it's called alarm on newborn signs of newborn,
prominent signs of profit, profit, profit, and other words as well.
All of these words are used for what, what could also in another
word be called ayat signs, right ayat is a sign I explained to you
earlier, the verses of the Quran are all approved for the Prophet
sallallahu. And they all are marches and we're getting to that
point. So the word I in Arabic literally just means a sign. This
is the proof of this. This is the sign of this. This is the idea of
this.
That's why they actually say that rather than the word marches,
because marches that is what it does that it incapacitate
something, but really at the base of it, it's a sign, but it's such
a sign that nobody can bring the light of it. That's why it becomes
a Marchesa and inimitable sign. So really, it's a it's a sign.
That's why you don't actually find the word. Marchesa mentioned much
in the Quran and Sunnah. The word Marchesa is not mentioned there,
that it is a Marchesa.
Right? Mostly what you find is you find what I sign by yener prove
boron, again, strong proof.
That's what you find. I buy in a boron, that's where you actually
find the Quran, sunnah. But Marchesa is the function of it,
that its inimitable and incapacity. That's why they use
it. Right. Now, there are some other words, we have some other
ideas which are very similar, extra, you know, when you look at
the fact that this is extraordinary sign, right. So what
about if somebody claims to be a prophet and then, you know, he
does some magic, he walks on water, or I don't know if walking
on water nowadays is, you know, is impossible, you know, you can,
or there's some other crazy thing like that, right, says that
they're going to levitate above the Statue of Liberty or something
like that. So there are others who can also do extraordinary things,
but the different number one, if it's a righteous person who's
doing it, the person was known for righteousness and they are doing
something which is extraordinary, as it has happened, where there's
been people who have been known to be one day here, and at the same
time, they were actually observed to be in Morocco, Morocco, Roma,
or Madina, Munawwara doesn't happen every day. But there are
cases of people you know, which are established of people having
that or somebody being here and then suddenly being in a very
short amount of time.
mean a place that you would not be able to have reached there unless
you took a flight and the person did not take a flight. It's called
Title art. Suddenly money appearing for somebody, you know
from under the prayer mat, whereas you knew they did not have the
money down there, stuff like that this is all corroborated. Now this
there is no claim on this one, there is no claim. What this
happens to is that if the person is a righteous person, this is
Allah's gift to them. Right, and they normally can't do it at their
own bidding, it's up to Allah, if they allow them to do it. That's
what you call a Kurama. And the reason it's called a Kurama, the
word Kurama itself, and again, it's a sign, right? It's a sign,
but it's called a Kurama. In this context, because Kurama means
Divine Honor. So this is something that Allah subhanaw taala is
giving to this person,
as a honor, for their righteousness and piety is not
that they attract anybody who tries to worship for a Kurama is
gonna fail, right? That's not the point. It's just that some people
are legends gives it to them, and they don't realize it until they
got it. And then like, wow, subhanAllah you know what it is,
but they can't get too excited about it. You know, it's just that
they should just be satisfied. And they should know it's a sign they
should not get indulgent in it. That's what the ruling say about
that. So for the Kurama, the person who has a Kurama is not
going to claim prophecy, He is the Almighty, that's why he's got this
is the amount of the rose that Allahu alayhi salam.
And he's not going to challenge people by it is not going to make
any other claim or something like that. Then why does it happen to
me, it happens to him to honor Him to show that his Eman is truthful.
Right. And this is not a sign that you have to remember, there's two
aspects to this. Number one, people should not think that I
need a sign like this to happen to me to know that I'm on the true
faith. Right? That's conviction in the heart, you don't need to be
able to perform miracles for that reason. And number two, if
somebody who is lightly religious, you know who dabbles in religion,
and then he starts doing
he's able to do something like this, that also does not mean that
it's a Karana. You know, it could be from Shaytaan, unless it gets
to a certain degree, in the sense that, you know, there's a proper
religiosity, there's proper righteousness, then in that case,
and as long as you don't get misguided by it, that's very
important as well.
Even some Sufis, and some righteous people and saints and
whatever who sometimes it karama, if they did get caught up in the
Kurama, they could actually lose the whole point of honor, you
know, they can lose the whole point of honor as well. But
whenever it does happen whenever Kurama does happen to a normal
person, right?
It's there to a righteous person, rather, an almighty of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam or the almighty of any profit, right, the
person from the nation of any profit, then that is actually seen
as a Marchesa of that profit, that the reason it's happening, right,
is these things would not happen to these righteous people, if they
had not followed the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam, so it's
because of the Prophet sallallahu is and that they're having these
events. So that is a Magister of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam, but it's a Kurama for this person. So this tells us that
the condition for the Kurama to have a Willie of Allah is his
sincere following of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. But
the only the other difference then is that profits are maximum and
inerrant and they can't ever, you know, commit a sin. Whereas a well
he could still fail, right? Even if he has a Kurama he could still
make mistakes, he could still make make mistakes, he could actually
still even end up sinning. But if he's a proper well, he then he'll
stand up and make Toba and then continue properly.
Then what about magic, magic can be done by non Muslims it can be
done by Muslims as well righteous and unrighteous will mainly non
righteous because righteous ones will not do magic because it's
haram to do. So what is magic then? So obviously magic is going
to be the furthest away from Mark JSON Kurama at least Kurama is a
kind of a marketplace for the profits and losses through one of
his own Maltese by but he's not claiming a profit, you know, to be
a prophet Muhammad, he's not claiming to be a prophet. Whereas
a magic is got nothing to do with that.
Yes, it's extraordinary strange, it's weird. And it's amazing. And
you know, people watch these things. And nowadays, you've had
magicians online on YouTube, you know, demonstrating many different
things, sometimes camera tricks, sometimes in it's actually a very,
you know, well set up rules and so on.
The biggest difference between the person who does magic and a more
geezer is that generally the person who does magic is going to
be involved in sin, or absolute Cofer is going to be disobedience
that because that's the only way you can actually do magic of that
nature. Right? By invoking the wrong kind of spirits to do that
for you. You're going to be obedient to the shaytaan you're
going to be obedient to the jinn that is going to do that favor for
you.
Somehow, somehow, you're going to have to get close
and become associated with these Shayateen through either confirm
or disobedience and they make you do some weird things I mean the
kind of studies I've undertook on the undertaken in this, you know,
it tells you that what they
when you research this you'll find out they make you do all sorts of
weird things, disrespect the Quran via blood onto the Quran, smear
thesis onto the Quranic pages, and, and crazy things like that.
And so that's what they mean, it's another you can say it's another
wavelength that's very different from a Marchesa, it's very
different from a mark Jessa. And while a magic is going to be
something that's going to amaze people, and it's going to make
people go crazy, but really generally, a lot of the time Magic
is something that can be done by people. If they know the right
ways and right means to do this, if they can tap into the right
connections, the right wavelengths, it's something that
they can do, okay, it's something that's a possibility that they can
do. It's based on a superb
that's what however, it's never going to be successful.
Eventually, it's going to fail and it's going to become quite clear
what people do. And this is pretty much what has happened to many,
many magicians. That's why Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran,
whether you flee HERSA, Hirohito atta, that the Sahel, the magician
is never going to be successful, wherever he comes never going to
be successful. That is why one of the big demonstrations of this we
saw in the Quran we see in the Quran, several places where Allah
subhanaw taala mentions the story of Musa alayhis salaam, where
Pharaoh challenges most highly sought after he sees that Muslim
is able to, you know, demonstrate very, very illuminated palm, and
number two that his staff can turn into a snake. Right because that
was they were the two marches that Mossad Islam was given. So then he
called all the
he called all of the magicians of the town of the city. And they
came and they did the hypnotism, the illusions, whatever it was by
throwing down small sticks and ropes and pieces of string and so
on, and that seemed to people that they were
what do you call it? Going around and slithering around as though
they're snakes Musa some dropped his major, you know, his his ASA
is his stuff, and it just gobbled up everything. And none other than
the magician's themselves, you know, who were there to try to
prove a point for the Pharaoh, they themselves fell in
frustration to the lord of Moses and said, This guy's got the real
stuff, they could tell the difference between what they were
doing, which others could do if they learned the trick, how to do
it, because they were all doing it. And the how the Prophet Musa
alayhis salaam, his was very special, because as a person of,
you know, expertise, you know, when it's something beyond your
capability, that's why they said Armin navabi Haruna Musa, that
we've become believers in the Lord of Musa and how nice and because
this is something very special. This is beyond human capability.
This is not your normal magic.
Okay, so that gives us an understanding of what a more
agenda is. Now, why is this all relevant? We're talking to
supposed to be talking about the Quran. So why am I discussing
magic and Kurama and so on, is because we want to discuss today
and we have been discussing for the 21 days, right, right now,
we've been discussing, one of the greatest marches us one of the
greatest miracles, and that's why this is relevant. Now, generally,
a Marchesa of a prophet, right? The miracle of a prophet is of two
types, right? It can be in either one of two types. So we need to
try to understand what kind of a miracle the Quran is so that you
really understand it. I mean, you must have heard this so many times
the Quran is a miracle, the Quran is a miracle. Well, how is it? How
is it a miracle? Let's try to appreciate that. Okay, let's try
to appreciate that. Inshallah, if you can remove some of this, it
would be very, very useful. So firstly, there are two types of
martyr Jesus, and miracles that prophets can display and have
displayed rather, or have displayed because it's all
happened now there's going to be no more prophets. The first is a
perceptible miracle, meaning something, which is something
physical, something tangible, something that has to be caught on
camera, in a sense, okay. To for it to continue. That is, for
example, the Israel and the Mirage. This was the night
journey, the rocks are awesome in a single night at that time, which
was impossible, right to go from Macomb, Oklahoma to Jerusalem, and
then from there up to the seven heavens, which is still impossible
today, which is still not very easy to do today, but it looks
like you know, people are trying to get up there, you know, to
somewhat the practices and did it way before them, right. That's the
sort of mirage. There's the splitting of the moon. Right?
That's another miracle. That as I said earlier, the water pouring
from his fingers so that when the water was needed, and hundreds of
people becoming quenched by that water
Small amounts of there's a number of incidents in previous lessons
they were they had hardly had any food and then somebody brings one
pot of food and the process of saying it, and there's people
coming in and taking food and dishing up, and it's not getting,
it's not getting less, it's not getting less.
Now that occasion with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is a
Hadith in Sahih al Bukhari Sahih Muslim as well, where Abu Huraira
then said, I was very, very, very hungry, very, very hungry. And the
Prophet said the last time he saw me so he understood he says, okay,
come on, and he the province of Assam had one like bowl of milk.
And above, the law just couldn't wait to have it because he was so
hungry, right and his stomach was really hurting because of the the
Prophet sallallahu sallam said to him, call the other people on the
sofa. All the other Sahaba who used to live behind the very, very
poor ones is called them as well. And Oba abou Herrera. The Allah is
very clear about this. He said, I felt what's going to be left for
me if he's calling one of those people. It's one bowl of milk,
what's going to be left for me. But he said I had to do what I had
to do. So I went and call them and they all came. And then he told
me, and I'm hungry and I am thirsty and I'm hungry. Is it can
you serve everybody? So then I started serving them and everybody
started drinking to their fill, until finally it was just me and
the Prophet sallallahu Sallam left and then approached him said,
Okay, now you drink. And he said, I drank to it to my fill. And then
he gave us her visa license and the price of awesome finished it
off. There was a one bowl of water. Sorry, one bowl of milk, it
was one bowl of milk, and everybody drank to it to their
failure wasn't like, Okay, everybody has to drink so and then
just pass it on. I let me just drink a bit bit bit. No, they
drank today, Phil
is happening on numerous occasion, right? Likewise, bring people to
life like Sid Salaam and turning soil into clay. Sorry, turning
soil and clay into living birds like Sid salaam was doing. All of
these are perceptible miracles in the sense that they they are a
physical activity and an event of some sort. The second type of
mortgages, mortgages are more rational. They're more
intellectual. They are not events as such, right? They're not events
such as this, for example, I'll give you an example of that. When
somebody tells you about an unseen matter, and then that matter takes
place is smack beside so I'm Jesus peace be upon him. I used to tell
people what was in their fridges at home. What I mean by fridges in
those days, you know, in their stores in their storage or home,
it would tell what what food they had. Right? So that that's
obviously information right about unseen matters. And the biggest of
those is the Quran, Kareem the Quran Academy is not an event as
such, okay, it was revealed but that, but that's that's a separate
aspect of it. It's the message. There's news in there, there's
information in there, there, there are prophecies in there, and there
are laws in there and there's inspiration in there and so on.
Likewise, another one would be
making a DUA and the door being accepted as happened numerous
times with different prophets musasa may do so many times and
mashallah, the hours constant straightaway, new Hadith alarms
dua, the Prophet sallallahu Addisons dA. So all of these are
also the dua of a prophet, I guess it's also a module of the
prophets. Allah isn't because he's displaying something which nobody
else can do they just make a dawn, it just happens. So many times,
I'm prophesized that we had a huge share of all of these types, the
marches of a prophet is going to nearly always be relevant. I mean,
it's always going to be relevant to the needs of the time, the
demands of the Time and events of the time, because that's what's
going to make the biggest impact. Why perform something that people
won't care about? You know, why have something extraordinary
happened that people don't enjoy or don't find amazing or
mesmerizing or astonishing? Right? It has to have the surprise factor
in there because that's what makes it special. Right? So generally,
the profits Marchesa right for any profit is going to be something
relevant to the demands of their time something big that's going on
in their time. Now in its Ebro in East it salons time, it was curing
things right. So curing people rather so he started salaam could
cure the leper, just like that cure the blind, invent an even
actually bring a person back to life and on one occasion, okay.
Then, in moosari, Salam Salam, you had the magic, so that's why you
know, Musa is I'm demonstrated and that was better than the magic in
the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. There are many,
many things but the biggest thing
was that despite that group of people, those tribes being
absolutely in ignorance in terms of laws and in terms of mutual
harmony, and that they would be fighting with one another, and
they were quite very, very wild in that sense. And they were a group
that had never been colonized by anybody, even though you had the,
the Christian Romans to the north, you had the Persians to the east,
right. And then you had some more Romans down south and others, but
they had never been colonized. They were their own just had their
own ignorant ways of doing things. But there was one thing that they
were very good at. Right? They were one thing that they were very
good at. And that was language. And they prided themselves, you
know, they were very, very boastful about this and arrogant
about this. So they really prided themselves in their language in
their, what he means by languages. What everybody's proud about their
language, most people are proud about the language, but I don't
know, you know, I mean, generally people are proud of their
language, you know, that speak in your own language, things like
that, that this pride was different. They actually felt that
their language and it's true, actually, this this was true,
Allah had given them a language that was extremely comprehensive,
extremely eloquent, you know, 10s of words for single ideas in its
very in their various different shades. For love. There's about 27
or 28 words that describe the various different stages of the
subtle differences. Right? For sheep, there's a whole book
written on the various different names of sheep. For the, for the
lion. I mean, there's Subhanallah I can name you a few, you know,
lathe, Vodun. For us, Osama. Haider. That's five names just
like that just on the top of my head, right for in Arabic. And
there's a number of others as a dairy farm is another one. That's
number six, just for the lion. They had numerous, you know, for
shades of meaning.
The difference between Julius and karoun one of them, you know, we
just gonna say he's sitting, are we going to say he sat up, are we
going to say he sat down, but if you sit down, it's it's Deluce as
far as I remember. And if you sit up from lying down, you're set up
now that's corrode or it's the other way around corrode is when
you sit down from standing up, and Jerusalem and Islam.
It's got just different shades of meaning Arabic has that. That's
why it's called Arab. And the concept of Arab means from 30.
From Arab Ah, it means to actually articulate yourself.
Articulation to tell you the deep shades of what's going on in my
mind through my words, there's a lot of people who have complex
ideas in their mind, but they're unable to express them. They're
not articulate enough. Now, Arabic is wonderful in the sense that it
has these ideas built in there.
And they used to actually call everybody else iGEM that means,
which means who cannot speak, oh, gee, Mattoon, dumb dumbness, like
they don't know how to articulate themselves. And, you know, this
wasn't just a claim that they had, this was true Arabic is a very,
very comprehensive and powerful language, okay. And
for a language to be like that, you know, while Arabic does have
words from other places from other languages that it has
incorporated, right, there are some words in there that it has
incorporated, but most of the words are just built, by the way
that Arabic is structured, where you have a common concept, root
concept and root form and then from there, you make up different
aspects of that word. Right. So for example, I'll just give you an
idea of how you can do this. For example, the word Hara Jaya Raju
means to to leave to depart, right? Just intransitive just
leave you know. For somebody to leave her Roger. Roger. The man
has left.
Roger roger, same Hi, Roger is still in their base just add Hamza
to the beginning of Raja it means to make someone leave.
Right to throw someone out. Like hey, get out of here. Uh huh.
Raja, he got rid of him. Then you take it into slightly a different
form. And you say to her age, that is to cause it's to extract
something to cause something to come out. For example, I need to
do the reach of this hadith. I need to go and find it and extract
it from its sources. Right that rage. Then you have istikhara Raj
is a stock rijo
is the holiday your stock is a stock regio means I want to take
this out I'm
seeking to chain to take this out to extract this
The Hurghada to try to get out to make an effort to get out
or to try to show I'm trying to get up I've not really haven't
here I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, you'd actually instead of
using a hood, you'll actually reach out to Harajuku. I'm making
an effort to get out to do something, pretend passively.
Right? Then there's
the heart, Roger,
which generally would mean mutually coming out with someone
else. And there's, there's other forms as well. Right?
Just with one route letter, you just shift it in different ways.
And it gives different nuances in meaning, and you have to
understand Arabic to appreciate that, but
Subhanallah that was something that they in poetry, they will
amazing poetry that they produced amazing prose that they produce,
and various different forms of poetry they had. So that's why
when Allah subhanaw taala revealed the ultimate miracle, the one
that's going to remain forever, the marches are the Quran, he made
that the Quran he made that the miracle. See other prophets had
scriptures as well, but you don't have that same kind of idea that
it was much easier in this way. Right? It must have been amazing
and beautiful, the Torah and so on, you know, the original form
which was messed up, unfortunately, right by the
people, but the Quran, it was the miracle that was going to be a
miracle in many, many different ways. So the miracle was relevant
to the Arabic and stuff you know, because it was in Arabic, the
Quran is in Fiat in our in Arabic, but there's other things about it.
It's the Quran itself, which declares itself to be the miracle.
Allah subhanho wa Taala says, Now look at look at the way this was
done in the Quran. This is the amazing part in here, that look at
the way Allah subhanaw taala starts challenging them and the
through the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, in front of
everybody openly declare, right? openly declare, challenging the
world challenging the people that Allah subhanho wa Taala says, and
this first is from surah to Torah, verse 33, and verse 34. I'm yaku
Luna taka wonder who you may know own failure to be Hadith Mythili.
He can also the team? Do they say that? The ko wala who can this
word is from Carla, you're cool, have a taco bell that he's made
this up.
Remember, I told you the fact all the hardware which I'm trying to
do something? Did he just try to make this up? That's what they
say. Right? Do they say that he made this up. But it's just they
don't believe this is why they don't see it. If you don't believe
you're just not going to see the reality. So then Allah challenges,
okay, they should then produce a discourse like this, if they're
truthful, if they're truthful, tell them to produce a discourse
like this. Now, this could be a challenge to producing the entire
Quran, you know, that was revealed to him, okay? Bring some other
Quran like it Allah keeps a general Okay, bring another Quran
like it, bring some other discourse like this.
So this was the beginning of that, right? This is Allah subhanaw
taala challenging them, right as part of that miracle, right?
produce something like you guys are very arrogant and very
boastful, very confident, right? And have a lot of pride in your
ability to speak. You have these amazing people who speak and who
give sermons, you know, that was a time for sermons. They were they
had some of the most eloquent summarizes, they would stand and
they could rally a crowd, they could rile them up, you know, they
could invigorate them and they could take them to war. That's how
powerful their speech was. Right? Many speeches have that aspect,
but the Arabs, you know, they really, really, you know, did this
well, they took it to a huge extent. So Allah subhanaw taala is
now declaring at the, you know, on the tongue of the Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam, they should do that. Unfortunately,
they were not able to, they just could not produce anything like
it. They were just dumbstruck. Like, what is this thing? He
speaks the same language as us. We're family. We're from the same
tribe. You know, it's the same tribe. He can't speak like this.
He didn't know how to speak like this. Where is he getting this
from? Literally, it's like that. Imagine a cousin of yours somebody
in your family. Right, who speaks just like you and then suddenly
one day he comes and he is speaking on some other level,
you're gonna think what happened? Now he obviously could have gone
and done a course or you know, how to teach or whatever. Now in
Madina Munawwara you could tell who's doing what it's a small
community, Macomb, Oklahoma. You could tell you knew their
families, right? They were they were not online, you know that you
could go into a room and study something online. Nobody's the
wiser. You couldn't even leave the town without people checking and
knowing that you're there. It was just an open place. Right? The
lives were very much
sternum, they knew he had not studied by anybody. In fact, he
did not even know how to read and write, couldn't have read a book.
And then he's coming with this thing that they just they can't
get their head around it, this is the main point keep this in mind,
they could not get their head around it. They just could not
comprehend how he can speak like this. And, okay. One is that maybe
he's speaking like something that another person can speak like,
right? No, he, he's speaking in a way that nobody can do this. You
know, because they know their capability. They know their
capability. Right? You know, you know that the capability of cars
to go from zero to 60? You know, minimum number of seconds and
somebody does it even faster. How does he do that?
There's no rocket propellers is nothing in this is how does? How
can you? Literally it's like physics, physicists will tell you
that's impossible.
This is a person of language saying this is impossible. This is
not something that a human can produce, just to beyond the human
ability, how can you do this? So it wasn't just that Mohamed Salah
was and didn't know how to read in the first place. And now he's
doing that, but it's something that nobody can even challenge him
on. And I'm really stressing this point, because I want you to
really understand what this is, you know, because I mean, it will
take you a very long time to study Arabic And then, you know, compare
different Arabic pieces from different people, you know, the
best of the Arabic literature pieces from the best of the Arab
writers and then to read it from the Quran, then you see the
difference. That's going to take you a long time. So I'm trying to
explain to you what this is all about. For those of you especially
who can appreciate that directly.
It was number one, it was coming from the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
who they knew you know wasn't like that before. Now he's speaking
like this, right? He's not like that in his normal speech. That's
not what he says all the time. The person was eloquent, but not to
that level. You know of the Quran. The Quran is a level above the
prophets awesomes Hadith, obviously, right? And they just
couldn't match it.
They could not match it. After that, Allah subhanho wa Taala you
can say reduced the challenge from bring a discourse exactly like it
or like it to this. Allah subhana wa Tada now says in Surah 200
verse 13, and 14 for those of you want to check it out. Amina Kuno
enough Tara good to be actually sorry Methley he moved Tara to the
rule Minister, I mean, do you go to Saudi or pain? Or do they say
that he made it up? And he fabricated this? He just made this
up? Then say to them okay, you bring 10 sewers like it forget the
whole Quran bring to 10 servers like it any size 10 sewers, right,
made up fabricated and produced from yourself and if you want, you
know, call besides Allah, you can call whoever you want to help you
do it as a group effort.
You know, call Walid no Mahira and all the other great embroil case
and all the others who could who could write well booj revenues or
hate and all the rest of them and do it together. If you're
truthful, it's open, producing anywhere you use a supercomputers
of the world, there were no computers of that time, but use
whatever is at your disposal. Literally, that's the challenge
even today, this isn't us the super computers, because this is
still a challenge not just to them, it's to us as well. For
Elon, Mr. G Bula. Come but if they can not respond to you. Now you
see the Quran itself is saying do this. Then the Quran itself is
saying Allah is saying, if they cannot respond to this fire level,
then know that a nama on Zilla Bellamy Allah that this has been
revealed through the knowledge of Allah
if you can't produce it, then just know this otherwise, you know why
you seeking some other explanation that it's magic or is that is that
you do the magic. Go to the magicians and do that magic and
produce it? This is from Allah just know that. Well Allah Allah,
Allah Who because there is no God except Allah, there is no greater
for * and Thomas even now when you submit.
So again, that was the next challenge. Thereafter, Allah
subhanaw taala makes it even easier for them if they could do
it. Allah Subhana Allah knows in Surah Yunus in verse 38, Allah
says, I'm yopu loan after all, again, it always starts off do
they say that this has just been fabricated, called to be sore
ultimately now you bring one sorta like it?
What the rule many started mean doula and consulting and again,
same thing call whoever you like besides Allah call whoever you
like to assist you.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam remained in Makkah Makara,
Rama for 13 years with this challenge on their head.
Right, it was an open challenge. They all knew about it.
And on top of that, the Muslims are very few in number
and they are weak. They are subjugated. They they have to be
secretive. Right They can't meet openly and things like that in
Mocha, mocha Rama because they were being persecuted. All right.
And but remember, the verses were still coming down. These were not
the only verses of the Quran that had come down that had been
revealed. There are many other verses which were revealing things
to them. And they, you know, one is that you got some verse and
it's now finished. So you kind of forget about it. No, there's fresh
verses coming down, right days in the days and the weeks is fresh
versus coming down. And they just like, wow, that's the new verse.
What is it secretly inside, they just amazed by it. Maybe they even
looking forward to the next installment. Right, but they don't
want to believe because of other reasons, it's not easy for people
to always believe. You know, today, culture is so powerful that
it doesn't allow you to do the truth. People go against dictates
of Islam, despite claiming to be muslims because of their culture.
Culture is the most one of the most powerful forces in your life.
And if it's debilitating, then a person is in big trouble. May
Allah allow us to benefit from our cultures and not be debilitated by
them because there's some very good points in cultures but
there's some bad points in cultures as well. So the Quran is
constantly revealing this to kind of show them that look, this is
same your language, your language, and it is taunting them almost in
a sense mocking them, right that you can't produce it. And that
becomes very clear for everybody who sees this. We're not there at
the time. Right? But we can tell that it was just because there's a
new installment I can't produce anything like get your experts
they can't do anything like this, their hearts. Understanding this,
the ears are listening to this. And
after that, Allah subhanaw taala just clinches it. So there's
another verse after this, right where Allah subhanaw taala just
tells them that you listen, you're just never going to be able to do
this. So just believe the remove your obstinacy. Get rid of your
stubbornness. You're not going to be able to do this. This is in
verse 88. Of sortal surah Allah subhanho wa Taala says, hola in
Egypt Emirati so well Jean no either a to be Methley hovel Nila
tuna, baby Philly. What Oh, can about I'll do home labor, I'll do
the hero. Say to them, Go say to them, yeah, Muhammad Sallallahu
sallam, that if that forget you guys, forget your tribe forget
just the Arabs. But if the whole human race, along with the jinn
race, were to come together and gather together to try to produce
the light of the Quran. They would not be able to do so.
Allah said, Forget about trying to bring it forget, like bring it,
you're not going to be able to do so now imagine you're an enemy and
you're being told you can't do this.
Just Just imagine you're the enemy. Right now the biller and
you're being told this now, you can't do anything like no, you
already know deep down you can't because this is not human. And you
know that, you know your experts know that. Imagine how bad you're
gonna feel. And I'm really trying to show you the emotion of the
time of how big an impact how massive an impact and how enormous
this Quran was in terms of what it did for them. It was the biggest
miracle. Right? Everything else could be explained. In some sense.
The Quran could not be explained. Allah says even if you help one
another, you just won't be able to do so.
Then Allah subhanaw taala carries on in another place in the Quran.
Surah Baqarah now, right, verse 23, verse 24. What? Go Tong feel a
man is Zelda either Deena to be so rotten Mythili whether all shahada
Camille doing it in coutume saw the pain for the very low one,
definitely low fat the one now letting you Appu hon. So well
hijack or, or that little caffeine.
Now remember that non Muslims are listening to these verses, because
they would want to listen sometimes, or they were told by
others and so on. Allah subhanaw taala, then the process has been
told to tell them anyway. So this one now verse says, and it wraps
it all up, he says, if you are in any doubt regarding what We have
revealed upon Our Servant, you got any doubt about the Quran, then
produce a surah like it right. So that same aspect is they just
produce one surah like it and call your witnesses besides Allah, if
you're truthful, you know, for this, if you cannot do this, Allah
says for Inlander Fido if you cannot do this will enter Fido,
and you will never be able to do it. That's added as well. You
can't do it. You're never going to be able to do it. And it's not
just being said, like to people just to kind of chide them, you're
never going to be able to do it. Right, you're miserable. You're
never going to be able to do it and then a guy does it. No, it was
not like that. It's Allah saying well, then the follow you will
never be able to achieve this. So if that's the case, fat cannot
protect yourself from the fire. Whose
fuel are people
and stones which has been prepared for the disbelievers.
So they couldn't do it.
And they didn't do it. Now, what's what's so interesting for us in
all of this about the point of the ones where now these are the five
verses or so, which discusses the challenge directly, otherwise
every verse is a challenge. In a sense, it's a sign of the progress
in terms of its language in terms of not just in terms of his
language and the way it's articulated, but also in terms of
its contents. The process also is speaking about things we're going
to discuss all of that as to how the Quran is Marchesa. We're going
to discuss that later. But there's one point I want to end with
today. So how much of the Quran is now illimitable? I think I've
explained to you before I alluded to this before, there's some
verses which are which are very short would have gotten some
another
right. Ibis water Wallah. Just two words to verbs put together,
somebody could do that somebody could produce that. So, how much
of it is the challenge? How much is it that they cannot reproduce?
So what does Allah say the minimum he says is one sort of First he
said, you know, something entirely like it then 10 Surah is the last
one is one surah what is the shortest surah in the Quran?
In our in agriculture, this is what the others have understood
from this, that the amount which they cannot produce is the size of
the shorter Surah which is in Paulina, in the inner circle co
author, about three forwards for suddenly Rob bigger one horn in
Shawnee occur, who will a better it's about 1015 words in there of
the shortest Surah So what they've said is that the amount which is
inimitable that amount, which is uncomparable unmatchable is the
size of a small Surah, less than a sort of somebody could produce
basically, right, like one short if somebody could produce like
muda harmattan, from another and so on, they could do that. But if
it's a short sort of, they can't now take the size of this surah
and if there's a long verse,
which is the similar size to this, then they couldn't produce that
either. So anything which is the size of the shortest, which is in
our in our calculator for Sally, the Rebecca 100 in the SHINee
Agata but these 1015 words, any other verse which is to that size,
they would not be produced either that because that is the minimum.
Likewise, if there's three other verses somewhere else, right,
which are the size of this, like for example, Abba, Soweto, Allah,
Jaya who will am or my unique Allah, Allah Who Yes, Zeca
probably that much. If it matches the same number of words in that
Athena Kolkata, they will not be able to produce the light of that
they will not be the string together, they could do it but
it's never going to be as beautiful. It's never going to be
as comprehensive it's not going to have the same qualities as the
Quran has, using the best of words. And when I open this up for
you further, you will start appreciating and you will wish to
learn Arabic believe me, when when we open this up further with this
is just an introduction today, believe me, this is just an
introduction. This is a major subject of the Quran, right? A
major topic of the Quran that ages how is the Quran a miracle? Right?
We want to really open this up for you. So today was just a basic
introduction. But you will when you get to the end of this, I
would say you will feel like why don't I study Arabic? Why didn't I
study Arabic? Right. And if you know Arabic, you will start to
look at this because when I did this when I first got this, it was
amazing.
Right? It was amazing. I was like I need to study more of this.
People like Sheikh Anwar Shah Kashmira spend a whole one whole
day each day of Ramadan just looking at this belaga aspect,
this jazz aspect of the Quran in just one juice from morning or
from night to the next Iftar he would just spend on wonders of the
Quran just figuring out how it's a miracle like that. That's how
amazing it is and so much is that still to be discovered. So I
explained to you the shortest amount that is the challenge
amount is not one small verse or too small it's actually the size
of inner outer inner Calico so you got another was like living in a
European Mona salah the way you do and is that we're humble. Here are
the homecare for your own that is much is that much because that's
the size of in our in our culture are bigger, or you got a few short
verses like what to Wakita we miss to the Rocky Mountain. Sure. Well,
Batesville, Malmo or Seville? marfo You know, that's going to be
marches.
That's going to be inevitable.
This is just the one aspect of it that to create something like
this, that is the size of it, so less than that, no, right.
But there are so many other aspects of the modules of the
Quran in terms of what it reveals. And I revealed I talked about some
of this in the last years 30 You know, just in 30 days, which I
hope you're also benefiting from insha Allah right alongside with
this, but anyway, we end here
Today we've gone a bit over time, Allah subhanaw taala bless you all
tomorrow we carry on with this and we start getting into the more
specifics. Inshallah of it hopefully tomorrow as well. It is
a bit of a big subject but it's an amazing aspect of it and there's
so many books written on this subject, especially more of late,
you know, people have started writing a lot more about it
because it's just amazing. Right? Allah subhanaw taala bless you
all. Salam aleikum. Wa Rahmatullah keep us in your doors especially
during these last 10 Nights. They're going fast they're going
fast me like separate from us and make these nights and these days
