So the callowhill Avi, let us continue with our discussion on
the Illumina Quran. So today we are discussing some of the other
ways where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, how he would
receive the ye and the revelation and the different experiences that
he had. Just to put it in perspective, this was the kalam
and the speech of Allah subhanaw taala, the divine speech, right,
extremely valuable, right, that is you can say beyond this world, and
that is being sent down to the earth for humankind and jinn kind
through the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So it's a really
major undertaking. So Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used
to experience
various different
states. So the first one we discussed already, which is when
it used to come through the angel and majority, you know, we
mentioned the three types yesterday that Allah subhanaw
taala, would directly put it into his heart. That was the first time
the second one was where he would actually hear the words, but he
couldn't see Allah subhanaw taala he couldn't see the angel, so he
could hear the words that's behind the veil. And the third one is
where the angel actually came in the form of a human being or in
the original state, and Djibouti lovely salaam, and generally in
the form of a person in the form of a being in a form and
related it to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and
the prophets, the Lovcen would then memorize it. So the second
the second experience that the Rasul Allah Islam would have is
that whenever the revelation was coming down upon him, they could
not just he he could actually hear this incessant sound like the
buzzing of bees, but not just him, but even sometimes the people
close to him. For example, there's a hadith related from Abdul Rahman
IGNOU Abdullah Curry who says the I, he said he said that he had
originally Hatha Radi Allahu anhu, saying that whenever the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would have a revelation come down upon
him.
The sound of the buzzing of bees could be heard by him the
honeybees, the sound of the buzzing of honeybees could be
sound by this is some kind of world or, or a buzz of some sort.
So he says that, on one occasion, we were waiting for a while
because we know what used to happen, they will recognize it. I
mean, they they had this experience, they, on numerous
occasions, they will actually see that it probably sell or some
would have to lower his head. Sometimes they could hear the
sound. Other times maybe they could not hear the sound, you
would start to perspire. And they would know that there's a
revelation coming down. So it was a known thing among the sahaba. It
seems. So he says we waited for a while. And the prophets Allah was
on face towards the Kaaba, right face towards the Qibla. And then
after that, he raised his hand so once he received the ye in this
particular occasion that he's speaking about, he raised his
hands and then he said the following the honor, is that
Allahumma Zina whether than kusina were a criminal whether to him
what Tina, whether to Halima fitna whether to Elena, what are the
what are the Nina thermocol. So this was the DUA he made, oh,
Allah increases and do not decrease us, honor us and do not
humiliate us. Grant us give us bestow us and do not deprive us
and give us preference and do not give others preference upon us and
be satisfied with us and make us satisfied. And then
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam just said the prophets
Allah Islam said, after making this dua, he said that the
revelation that had just come down to me meaning the ye that had just
been received, they were 10 verses and whoever fulfills these 10
verses meaning whoever stands up and fulfills these 10 verses, they
will enter paradise. And then after that, he read the verses
that I recited right at the beginning of today's session
called Afla helmet me known Levine Humphrey Salatin partially on So
essentially these verses these
about people being reverently fearful in their prayer, avoiding
futile activities and redundancies, giving zakat paying
their zakat, protecting their private parts, except of course,
where it's allowed with their, with their wives and so on. And
Allah subhanaw taala then says, Those who are very trustworthy,
and who are considerate of their trust and so on, and again,
protective over their salah, these are the people who will be the
inheritors, they will be given the paradise. So this was the Suhana
this was the these were the verses that have just come down. And this
was the experience that you probably saw some had which amaro
the Allahu anhu, also heard the sound from him. So that was the
second that was the second experience that they knew that was
the second type of ye that that they would they would receive. The
third one
is whenever on some occasions when the ye would be revealed the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam on many occasions actually,
right depending on the type of Ye, the prophets of Allah would become
feel very heavy, he would feel very, very heavy. So for example,
there's a very interesting Hadith that that shows how this happened.
They didn't Tabitha the Allahu Anhu says that one day the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was dictating a verse to him dictating
something to him making him right, because they live in the fabric
that he alone was one of the writers. And the verse was, which
had already been which had just been revealed, which had already
been revealed. This was the verse
it's a
lie, yes, that will call you do in a minute meaning.
So far this much had been revealed. You may not recognize
all of it, or it like this lie is they will call you when I mean,
meaning while moja he do Nephi sebelah.
So the verse was those who
are sitting and not taking part in a battle and those who are
actually waging war in the path of Allah subhanaw taala they cannot
be the same. So this was talking about the believers that there's
some who go out and there's some who do not right, for whatever
reason, they cannot be the same. Now, as he was dictating that, the
blind Sahabi the very well known blind sahabi, whose name was
Abdullah ignominy Maktoum, he suddenly came in, and he said,
Yeah, rasool Allah, if I was able to go into battle as well, I would
do so as well. He was obviously blind, so he wasn't able to do so.
But he was feeling really bad that I can't be the same as the other
other people. So they didn't fare better the Allah one was sitting
next to the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam. The prophets
Allah is sitting cross legged. Now the corner of his knee was
actually on the thigh of Zenith habita, the Allah one while he was
dictating this, and we are sitting quite close together. Now as soon
as I believed on your McDonough, the alarm came in and said that
there was a revelation. And the revelation was actually just three
words are your only dollar. That's all that was the only edition that
was the only part of the verse that came down at that particular
point. Right. So
they, the Allahu Anhu says that it felt so heavy the corner of the
knee of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam on my thigh felt so heavy.
It was as if, you know, he would.
It was as if my, my thigh would be crushed because of it. It was like
the person became so heavy, just for three words, a download of
just three words. Right? Right, all the data. That's why the verse
is now the way we read it, right is law is that we'll call a dual
nominal mode, meaning you know, or euro only dollar evil moja he do
in a fee is a be the law. So now, that tells you something that
versus would not even necessarily I mean, most of us did come down
in exactly the same way that they are right now. But others, there
were some parts of the verses would come down. And then even as
this particular one shows that just three words within the verse
was added later, right what came down later, it was part of the
original Quran, but it was just added later under the circumstance
and we'll be discussing this a bit later. Number four, the next
Hadith that we have tells us that when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam if he was ever on an animal, he was on an animal
riding, whether it be a horse or a camel, or whatever the case is, it
would have to sit down. It could not bear the weight of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the previous Hadith I read about
xenophobia, I forgot to mention that it's from Buhari, and
likewise, it's mentioned by Imam, the Mount Abu Dawood and many
others as well. This particular one, this new hadith is from Imam
Muhammad from a shot at the Allahu Anhu. She says that whenever the
if the prophets Allah Lovcen was really receiving a way in
Revelation he was on something, it would have to lower its neck, it
would either have to lower its neck or you would have to sit down
and this case is that it would have to lower its neck
That's why there's another Hadith from YBNL Jerry, he's related from
Ottawa eveness obey that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam when receiving a revelation. And if he was on a
camel, the camel would have to actually stoop down, and he would
not be able to move the camel would not be able to move until
the state left the province alone until essentially the ye had
ended. Subhanallah these are the troubles that the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam these are the difficulties of our salah,
lorrison bow for us.
That's why the Prophet sallallahu Listen, there's actually one very
interesting Hadith I want to mention with regards to
Revelation, the revelation,
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was born on Monday, and
that is the day that he also received the revelation. So the
prophets Allah was and would actually encourage that people
fast on Monday. Right? The prophets also were encouraged to
foster Monday. So that's why we have this recommendation of
fasting on Monday and Thursday. And according to this hadith,
which
is related by Imam Muslim from Abu Qatada, Al Ansari to the Allahu
anhu, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was asked
regarding fasting on Mondays, and he said, Fi he will it Wi Fi he
owns Illa Allah, that is the day that I was born. And that is the
day when I received the revelation. So due to the blessing
of this happening on Monday, that's another great day to fast
as we know anyway,
right? Now, that gives us an understanding of the revelation
and wait somewhat, you know, there are contentions there's throughout
history, there's been contentions. Now, what's really interesting is
that some of the early criticisms about why I mean somebody
receiving revelation from God is not something that everybody
receives, right? It's only for profits. So that's why when
somebody claims that the detractors are going to have a
problem with that, and they're going to think that how is that
possible? Like, how can they receive a revelation? Right? How
can they receive a revelation from God? So now, where did the Where
did where did the Quran come from them? So that's why there's been
different arguments, I mean, the people of Makkah Makara, Rama, the
people of Makkah, at that time, the Kurdish days, either called
him a soothsayer, they called him a magician, they called him a
possessed, they called him a poet. Right? So these were their
explanations of how he could come up with such beautiful speech,
right, which did not resemble human speech at all. That was just
their way of trying to make sense of it, because they could not
believe that God could be speaking to him directly. Later on, though,
especially in recent times, I remember somebody asking me this
question, that this new theory somebody's come up with, is that
the Prophet sallallahu, alayhi, wasallam had some kind of
degenerative neurological disease, they've seen that some people who
have these degenerative neurology, neurological diseases, they
sometimes say these things, right. So some people, I mean, these are
people trying to find different ways of trying to explain away the
whole divine aspect of the Quran, right, and to take God out of the
picture. So they're trying to say that it's somebody like that. Now,
I don't want to go into that in too much depth. But why this can
never be true. And we know it can't be true. I know. It's absurd
for us to even, you know, be talking about this. But the reason
it can't be true is that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam didn't
have any of these problems, he never displayed any of these kinds
of problems. They're trying to take from some Hadith, or whatever
the case is, when the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam would be
maybe go into, you know, this state of receiving revelation or
something like that we would become quiet for a while, you
know, and he would be asked the question, something would be
quiet. And then the revelation would come and then after that he
would give an answer. They've put two and two together, well, not
two into two and five, and three, and one and two together. And they
made up this idea, but that's impossible. The province Lawson
was absolutely in control of his senses. Right. He was the bravest
of the people in the battlefield. He was the gin most generous
person when it came to, you know, giving.
He he thought of things in the most sensible ways. He never
displayed any of these kinds of things. I mean, if you read the
Shama and you read the seer of the Prophet sallallahu, alayhi,
wasallam, you will see that there was absolutely no problem in his
intellect, in his understanding in his behavior, or anything of that
nature. Yes, he was somebody who got special revelation from Allah
subhanaw taala. There is also another theory out there, I just
want to point them out. Because just so that you know, that people
do say these things. So you're not surprised when people say that and
you can just easily dismiss it. Right? Another one is that they
said that these were just subconscious ideas, right? And
thoughts that the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him perceived to be
realities, right. So this is some kind of a walk you know, if see
they call it in Arabic are just some kind of subconscious ideas
and thoughts that would well up in your mind and and you think
they're realities. You know, the problem with that is that there's
no way if that was the case that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
would have been able to produce such a miracle of the Quran.
Because obviously the Quran was not revealed all in one go, which
we'll be discussing soon, it was revealed over 23 years it's been
gathered together and
The circumstance under which it was, you know, there are various
different circumstances and states and occasions in which the Quran
was revealed. Now if that was just the person who was coming up with
different ideas at different times, and then when you put that
Quran together, they would actually be disparity between it,
right? There would be a complete contradiction. It's some kind of
random and everything. But when you see the Quran today with
certain Fatiha first or two Bacara afterwards, even though they were
not the first of the source to be revealed, right, it's completely
harmonious. Right? There's absolute harmony and beauty and
consistency in the way it reads and everything like that. So how
is it possible that over 23 years when something has been gathered
like that, on different occasions, different words spoken, they've
put together in such a beautiful way, it had to come from Allah
subhanho wa taala, who knew exactly what it was, and this will
be explained further. So the whole miracle nature of the Quran in the
way of its consistency, and its beauty, and its cohesiveness. One
is one of the biggest proofs that this was not some random ramblings
of the Prophet sallallahu sallam. These are just some few ideas that
came around, there was somebody guiding him there was somebody
inspiring him, there was somebody feeding him there was basically
somebody who was behind which is ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada
plus the whole story that they would, they would see you on
occasions, these strangers, these human, these human forms, which
were originally angels, people observe these things. So why the
need for that? If it was somebody random like that, if it was some
random thoughts like that, likewise,
the prophets, Allah Lauryssens the saying, I'm fearful of myself
after this experience, like we discussed yesterday, all of these
kinds of things show show that another last point before we move
on to how the revelation came down. The other thing is that when
these you see, you would expect that somebody who goes into these
trances would do a certain kind of ritual or something and then move
into a trance. And then, you know, that's what you generally see
people doing. But the Prophet sallallahu was actually completely
normal, right? And the revelation the way he would actually come
down in different states, so I'm going to mention a few of them.
You see, nobody documented when every single way it was revealed,
like when every single verse came down, not nobody documented all of
them. So you can't say okay, this verse of Surah, two column, when
was it revealed? On what state where was the Prophet sallahu?
Some nobody documented that, right? However, there are a few
that have been documented. And let's look at some of them just so
that you understand how this whole revelation came down to the
Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam. So the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
would be in his house, for example, he may be taking arrest,
he may be just relaxing in his house. And
suddenly, you know,
there is he can see the angel, and there's a surah that has been
revealed. And this is exactly what has been mentioned in the Saheeh
in Sahih, Muslim regarding the revelation of Surah tel co author
in our Athena COVID, the Prophet sallallahu someone has in his home
and that's what happened. On another occasion, it was the
middle of the night, and the revelation came, right and these
were the three verses of while a fella 30 Ladino holy who had
either a dog or early human or to be my Wahoo but this is this is
sort of Obara, right, sort of this is sort of to Toba, so assorted
Bara. These three verses, they came down in the middle of the
night and it was I think, after fajr When the province or the
lorrison declared them that those three people cab nomadic Hillel
IGNOU Robbie, and I forget the name of the third one, they have
now been forgiven, because they're the ones who had stayed behind
from the battery from the expedition of the book now they
had been had been forgiven. So this was in the middle of the
night we know about that as well. Then for example, we've got wala
who Yeah, same will come in in us, Allah will protect you from the
people. When did this happen? The prophets Allah Larson was in a
tent. Right? And he had guards outside. Right? This was kind of a
bit of a dangerous situation versus also was in the tent. They
had Gods outside and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
Had these gods because there was an impending danger. But then he
received this revelation while in his tent. He then put his head
outside the tent, he says, Yeah, are you Hannah's in Saudi Phu
forgot also Manila who there
are people you can now go away? You can leave because Allah
subhanaw taala has is going to protect me right? So you no longer
have to stand guard here anymore. I'm going to be divinely protected
by Allah subhanaw taala that's because wala who you see will come
in and as was revealed in the Quran. So
that's why there's the verses that we do know where where they were
revealed. They've actually categorized them in with different
names. For example, there's some which are considered to be the
suffering verses and some the huddle reverses, which basically
means these are the ones that were revealed when the previous one was
on a journey was traveling outside Madina Munawwara these
Were not these other ones they were revealed in Madina Munawwara.
They were there were some verses which are categorized as the night
verses because they were revealed that night, the others which will
reveal in the daytime. Yeah, so there's lots of different types of
categories like that, but we only know some of them. There's always
going to be contentions about the Quran, people trying to explain it
away the narrative that we have the understanding that we have,
they're going to try to explain the way and this is not something
new. It's been happening for 1400 years, except that it's just moved
away from calling him a poet or a soothsayer. Right and a magician
to now, these slightly more elaborate ideas, but none of them
stick because Alhamdulillah the documentation is all there to
explain the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and that was
part of Allah subhanho wa Taala his plan, you know, to protect the
Quran that everything of the Prophet sallallahu sallam was, was
preserved in the sense of his whole life story was preserved.
Nice, most of it hamdulillah now we're going to move on to the next
point, which is that why did the Quran not come down all in one go,
like, for example, when Musa alayhis salaam, received His
revelation when a Saudi Salam received His revelation and so on,
and the Psalms of that with Ali Salaam and the scriptures of
Ibrahim Ali Salam, and so on, when they would all be given to them
all in one go in one form in one book, Why was the Quran not given
like that? So, again, this is something that we can only learn
from the Quran and the Sunnah. So let us look at the verses that are
relevant to this verse. Right. So we've got I think about four
verses that tell us something about this directly, right?
Are all the Willa Humana Sheetla annual Rajiv Shah Ramadan and
Letty Uzi Luffy. In Quran who the LIN su or the Unity mineral who
will focus on first verse number two in
cell now who feels mobile or getting in can more reading. So
the first one says, It is the month of Ramadan in which the
Quran was revealed, which is the guidance of people and so on.
Second verse tells us, we reveal this in a blessed night. And we
were the wonders we reveal this in a blessed night doesn't mention
the night what particular night it was, but it was a blessing night.
The third verse in it gets more specific, you know, this one in
Zelda, goofy line Latino call them on the rock Amala to call the de
la Toluca, the Hawaii room in El Fischer home. So there's more
detail in here that we reveal this in the Night of Qadr. Right in the
Night of Qadr. And you do know what this night of other is, it's
a night which is superior to 1000 months. So so far, we've got to
two we generally understand the little quarter is in Ramadan. And
Allah actually says that Ramadan is the month in which the Quran
was revealed. So then that bless it night in the second verse must
be later two other then after that, we've got another verse
which tells us that it's somewhere Allah says, Bell Hua Cor.
Nije do Philo Hey, Matthew, this is the Glorious Quran, it is in
the protected tablet Cinda Preserved Tablet. So that one
tells us a place the others told us that time. So that's the three
verses that we have in terms of when and where the Quran has been
revealed, right, we know that much so far. Now, what are we going to
understand from this? We have to understand from this, that these
three verses seem to indicate that the Quran was revealed. In this
time, however, we know that if it was revealed in Ramadan, but
there's so many verses there were some verses that were clearly
revealed in Ramadan, but there were so many others that were not
revealed in Ramadan, probably the bulk of the verses were revealed
outside the month of Ramadan. So how do these verses then make
sense when he's saying that we reveal the Quran in the month of
Ramadan? If the Quran is during the month of Ramadan, but we also
know that verses were revealed outside the month of Ramadan? How
is that true? How is that possible?
So
this is a question that people have been asking, and there's
completely, absolutely perfect. What do you call it? explanations
for this? In fact, this is not a new question. Somebody asked this
to
somebody asked this question to ignore a bus or the Allahu Anhu
This was after year.
After year even an S word he said to me No, I busted the Allahu Anhu
that look I've got a bit of a question a doubt in my heart
regarding this verse, Shadow Ramadan and Allah the own Zilla V
Hill Quran and then Allah subhanho wa Taala says, in an Zina who feel
a little further. However,
the Quran has been revealed in Chawan in Vilka, in Ville hija, in
Muharram, and in the month of the Rabi. So why is Allah subhanaw
taala then saying that it was revealed in Ramadan if it was also
revealed in all of these other months?
So even though I bested the Allahu Anhu said to him that yes, it was
revealed in Ramadan during the literal cada which comes in
Ramadan. Right. And
that's also the blessing night which the three verses that are
taken care of. That was when the Quran was revealed all in one go
the entire Quran was revealed in that night, right all together in
one go.
That was revealed. Now, after that he says that it was revealed all
in one go in that night he doesn't say where. But then he says then
it was after that revealed in installments bit by bit piecemeal,
small portions by portions whether full Surah, half a surah part of a
surah part of the verse as you saw earlier with that example of ZEW
Tabata, the Allahu Anhu. And that came down, you know, over the
court case of 23 years as we know,
if not, he didn't say 23 years, he says it was just came down bit by
bit. And this is a Hadith from him related by ignorance behind him.
And if no matter the way of related this, from this, we get an
understanding that the Quran did come down all in one go in that
night of little color, but then it came down over 23 years from
wherever he had come down in one night. There's many, many other
narrations and transmissions from Abdullah Abbas of the Allahu Anhu
that say the same thing they all came down one night that's what
that verse means. So now, we understand. From this we can all
we can understand, and from some other Hadith that they were
actually three movements you can say. Remember, the Quran is the
word of Allah subhanaw taala. Right, the Quran is the word of
Allah subhanho wa taala.
For that Quran to then the Quran, the words of ALLAH SubhanA wa
Taala without words or letters or sounds, we cannot understand the
Divine Words of Allah subhanho wa Taala because Allah doesn't need
sound and words to understand, to to speak things and to communicate
things. However, for us to be able to understand speech is made into
this special Arabic form. So the first instance of that there's a
first instance of that, then there's a second movement and then
there's a third movement and let us understand that so the first of
them is where Allah subhanho wa Taala had the Quran preserved his
speech preserved in the divine tablet, the divine tablet is
something that was created first by Allah subhanaw taala along with
the divine pen before He created human beings and so on. And he
told the pen to write the pen said What should I write, and the pen
said that Allah said, Write everything that is going to occur
until the day of judgment. So Allah gave all the knowledge to
the pen to write in this divine tablet and that is you can say the
master copy of the history of the world you can say Right? Of course
the knowledge of Allah subhanaw taala is superior to that, but
that is the master copy and in that is also the Quran. So that
was the first instance as the verse mentioned, that is feet and
feet below him muffle it's in Bal Hua Khurana Majeed on Philo him
muffled is in that Preserved Tablet. Now that it's there, it's
it's the record and so on. That's why
Imam Abu Hassan in his steps, he says the local muffled is the
record of everything. Right? It is the place of the secrets of
everything, not even the angels have access to that they only have
access to bits of that as to what's happening tomorrow. So that
they know whether to you know, cause the rain to flow to fall in
certain places or certain crops to crops to grow, or certain other
events to take place. But the entire local muffle nobody is
privy to it, except Allah subhanaw taala that's the first part where
it was put into a local food which is by Allah subhanaw taala. It is,
it is up there in the heavens, right? It is up there in the
heavens. Now, as the time is coming for the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, his prophecy and his prophethood so the second
movement takes place now, which is that Allah in that one night of
Laylatul Qadr in Ramadan had the entire Quran taken from local Mfu
or transported from local food down to the first heaven and
there's a place there called Basil is
the house of mate, the house of mate of honor. So that is the
place where the Quran was first revealed all together in one go,
right? That is what the Quran means when it says it was revealed
in Ramadan that special night was chosen for that.
The third one is what you know, over 23 years the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam received the revelation over 23
years from that collection from the entire total collection that
has already come down to the beetle is right. The Beetle is
right, the house of honor and mites from the 23 years it came
down bit by bit. Right. There's wisdom in why that happened.
Exactly. But now you understand how all of these verses make
sense. Versus in lowland muffled in the divine tablet
then after that it comes down to the first heaven. And then from
there, it's sent bit by bit, right to this from the seventh heaven,
it comes to the first heaven. And from there it comes into the world
over 23 years, bit by bit. Now, this is the majority view, it
seems. But there are a number of scholars who say that know what
this actually means about Ramadan in Zilla who feel a little colder
that we reveal this Night of Qadr in the special night in Ramadan,
it doesn't mean that the entire Quran was revealed in that night.
It just says that's when it began. That that is when it first began.
And they use this kind of expression in Arabic to say we
reveal it in this time, ie we began to reveal in this time, that
is a view that is a view among the Muslim scholars. So then how do
they how does that explain how does that take into consideration
abdulai bacilli Allah Juan's earlier narration, which shows
that it was actually revealed all in one go, right? The entire
Quran, you know, to this beta is as such, so they say, Oh, that was
just Abdullah Abbas, his assumption that that is exactly
what happened. It's not necessary. He's not relating this and the
reason for it is that there's no other there's no like clear
explicit Hadith about this subject. So there is a some
scholars who agree with this, but otherwise the majority believe
that what it means in the Quran is that it was revealed all in one go
to the beta is and then from the, to the earth in over 23 years in
around 23 years. Now, the question that arises is that what's the
point of the 23 years? If it came down all the way to a battle is in
one night, then why don't you just give the Quran altogether? In one
go? Like the other books, for example? What's the purpose of it?
Why did it come over so many, so much time? So there's various
reasons for that. And
let us try to understand that firstly, I would probably say
that, you know, remember Zaidan, the fabric or the Allahu Anhu is
Hadith, or euro only dollar, just those three words, that just
download of that much just that much received in Revelation was
enough to make him feel as if his his
thigh was going to be crushed. Now, imagine the burden on the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. This is one of the
reasons though, that's not the main reason. That's not the only
reason, it's not the main reason. That's just one of the reasons
this was, this was a very special column that had to come down.
Firstly, it's to actually show reverence to the Quran, that it's
not something that you just give it in one go, it came down very
relevant and showed its relevance relevance in being sent in
different times.
And it's to show this special delivery that it goes from low low
Halima for a low and muffled to the first heaven, right, like
that's a special delivery, it's waiting now. And then over 23
years, it then comes from that, Allah the second wisdom is that it
actually then shows the wisdom of the secret of the inevitability of
the Quran. I know we've not discussed this properly. But you
know, the way the whole Quran in its current form, even though he
came over 23 years in bit by bit, that when it's put together, it's
so harmonious and so organized, and so beautiful and so eloquent.
That that is to prove it's eloquent, like the if at all come
down in one go and say, okay, somebody constructed this all
together and compose the all in one go. Now, this is to show that
even though it came down, you know, in terms of what people were
observing, it came down over 23 years, right, bit by bit, sort of
by surah. And then they say, when you put it together, it still
sounds so wonderful and so beautiful. It's not random, right?
It doesn't sound a sound disparate. So, that was another
benefit of it. And what this is, is that the reason some are LMR
give and Allah knows best what this is, is that they say that if
since the Quran was revealed, up to the beta is and Gibreel,
Larissa was responsible to bring the Quran to the profit and loss
of bit by bit, had he had he had to do this from a low and muffled
where he does not know he cannot read the whole thing and
he may have not known where to place each portion because
remember, each portion came down separately in different times and
places. Since Gabriella is on now has access to the entire Quran in
the beta is and then it's revealed from there bit by bit over 23
years. He can then tell the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam put this here and put this there because he's seen where it
originally is supposed to be. Allah knows best. This is just
what some Allah might have mentioned as a possible wisdom of
this and Allah subhanho wa Taala knows best. Now one thing is that
the Quran itself talks about the entire Quran coming to the Prophet
salAllahu alayhi wasallam is hot over you know, whatever number of
time and that it is from Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah says that
in the Quran, Allah says we're in La Jolla called urn I mean don't
Hakeem in alim. You are receiving this Quran from the wise and the
knowledgeable one. Then Allah says kita one or Kamath? Yeah
To whom for sale at Mill don't hacking him in hobby. These are
Verses sorry, this is a book whose versus made firm and then they've
been Therma facilite. They've been then detailed, and they're coming
from a wise and a knowledgeable one, the one who is completely
aware of everything. So this shows that it's coming from Allah
subhanaw taala. The Quran says that itself so nobody can say that
the Quran doesn't say that. Now, sometimes five verses would be
revealed sometimes 10 verses would be revealed sometimes more or
less, one word, one verse, sometimes just a few words, a
portion of a verse, right? For example, could help me know and
let me know if you Salatin harsh on these 10 short verses that were
revealed. I told you the Hadith about them. You also had for
example, 10 long verses come down at one time. This is in surah. To
know
where you have the story of the slander against it shatter the
Allahu anha right the slander against Aisha the Hadith, the if,
right, if Cohen if Tara who
this is the 10 verses there, which came to exonerate Aisha with them
they were 10 long verses they came down all at once. So you had
sometimes 10 short verses come down sometimes 10 long verses come
down in order to know for example, and then look at this one right?
The verse in the Quran year a you Halina man who in the middle Moshe
guna Jesu, Fela curable Masjid Al haram. Me him her the old people
who believe the Mushrikeen.
Unclean, they should not come close to the Masjid Al haram, the
sanctified Masjid after this year
right that much is was revealed already. The next part we're in
Half Dome eyelid for sofa you need como la hoomin fatherly that came
down later that did not come down together. It came down later on a
particular occasion. So
the the Quran continued to be revealed over the course of 23
years, right from the time that it had started when the prophesy
Lawson was 40 years old. That's when it started with the process
and was 40 years old, until he met with his highest highest friend
which is Allah subhanaw taala and says Allahumma bellafill Allah,
that is the time until when the Quran that was 23 years that took
so
a few things. Allah subhanho wa Taala himself talks about this in
the Quran. There were many many reasons for why the Quran has
revealed over over the course of 23 years, right? Allah subhanho wa
Taala says in Surah Al Furqan what Carl Levin Latina kifaru Lola New
Zealand, he'll call Joomla Whoo, Haider, Gallica Nino sub better
behaved for the wallet who 31 i Tuna can be method in. Naka will
help you or accent FC Euro. So this was said there was a question
even at that time, the tractors said why did not why why does this
Quran come down bit by bit? Why didn't it all come down together?
So the verse that's suitable for con, verse 20, or 3233, those who
disbelieve, they say, why is that has the Quran not been revealed
all at once. So Allah subhanaw taala responds, this is the way
that we strengthen your heart, meaning to the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, and we have brought it. And so this is for
the, for the, for the reason of strengthening your heart, how is
it strengthening the heart of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam?
Now the idea is that if the Quran all come down at once, there will
have been this excitement. But then after that, you know, the
fact that it came down over 23 years whenever the promise that
also would feel a bit down when he would when he would be a bit
what do you call it hopeless about them, when he would feel bad about
the situation when he would need something when he would need some
kind of comforting when he would need some kind of strengthening. A
different verse came down had it all come down in one go. It
wouldn't have had the same effect. So there was a really good reason
for it coming down it strengthened the Prophet saw some as Allah says
in the Quran. Then there's another verse where Allah says walk or
Farah corner who Anita Cora who I didn't see either MOOC few
unnecessary Hooten Zilla
This is a Quran that we have revealed to you so that you can
impart it read it to the people, Allah mock them in stages, slowly,
slowly, right. And we have revealed this bit by bit. The
concept of 10 zeal in Arabic is to reveal something bit by bit
whereas for the other verses for the other scriptures Allah uses in
Zoll, as opposed to 10 zeal than zeal is means to take your time in
doing something to take your time and revealing to do it bit by
bid, whereas in InDesign, it means to give it all in one go. So where
it talks about the other books, it generally refers to unzila in
Zoll, right, we reveal the all in one go when it talks about the
Quran it's nuzzle. Now, we did it slowly, bit by bit. And the point
of it is so that when there were different needs, you could
actually produce the Quran for those different needs. So people
will be able to benefit like that. Some of the other reasons, the
first reason as I said with cathartically, no sub bit,
Minister b2b For other so that we can strengthen your heart and your
resolve and your eagerness by this, right the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam was sent among some very harsh people, right, and
their harshness and the enmity was, was was severe. So that's why
as Allah says, We're to the Robbie Coleman luda, right, that you are
wanting such people with this. Now, if the Quran was all revealed
in one go, they they would not have had the same way they would
not have had the same reaction to it, and slowly, slowly where it
overcame them, right. So what's going on is the Prophet
sallallahu, some needed comforting and needed resolve and strength
from Allah. And also those people say bit by bit, the Quran would be
revealed, to reveal different things about them, to give them
give them different bits of advice, to respond to their
arguments, to respond to their criticisms, to respond to the
questions, and so on, and so forth. So it came down slowly. So
it's just the best way to do it. For example, just take the example
of sudo apt hood, right, insert the story of who that is. Now, if
you're just to go through, if you just take short, who's next time
you're reading, servitude, and just go through and look at all of
the different advices all the different events, the different
accounts in there of how the prophets had to undergo
difficulties and so on and the believers and so on how they had
to be so strong and persistent, and patient and so on. There's
just so much that the believers we learn with that coming down bit by
bit, for example, then it goes to show you how it was so, so
beneficial for it to come down over 23 years, as opposed to all
in one go. Then we have
Allah subhanaw taala says, What Kolon pursue Allah. I mean, I'm a
rosary man with a b2b for, which is the verse I already read
before, right? And then No, actually, this is a different what
Colin acusa either you come in
Eero Suleyman with a b2b for YG
Caffee her the hill Haku I know we're able to the crawl in
meaning. We're calling Marina La Mina Ahmed who Allah McConnachie
come in, I mean on Toby Rue, and it continues, we have revealed to
you or we have given you accounts, we have revealed to you the
various different stories of the different messengers by which we
strengthen your heart.
And in all of this has come in all of this has come the truth.
Right in this, this is all truth that has come, there's also no see
her and advice in this. And this is also a source of remembrance
for the believers. This, Allah subhanaw taala is mentioning here
why the Quran is being revealed bit by bit, the content of it is
to help the people as they continue, then we don't have we
will have to stop it. I'll just mention one more point, which is
that this was to respond to the emerging questions that that came
about from the people. For example, Allah says, What are you
doing? Kirby methylene allergic NERC, I will help you were asked
an NFC Euro. Anytime that they confront you with something we
come to you with the truth we produce for you the truth and
something which is much better in interpretation. Right. So a lot of
their contention a lot of their criticism and objections. Allah
subhanaw taala would, would, would provide this it was as if Gibreel
Ali Salam is there in beta is constantly watching. Anytime
there's a new argument, a new contradiction, a new objection, he
takes the verse that's relevant to it and he brings it down. Right?
Just imagine it's something like that. That's what's going on over
23 As you bring it salaam was very busy in that sense, right?
constantly taking the verse and bringing it down. So for example,
is obey ignore Huff, right. He is one of the leaders of the
Mushrikeen he came to the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam once,
right, this is just a random, just think of this like a random
situation where this obey even kind of comes. He takes some
really worn out bones and it just been they're dried out in the sun.
They're very worn out. He takes the bones and he starts to grind
them together and they start turning to dust. Right? There's
nothing in them they start turning to dust. And he said yeah,
Mohamed, do you believe that Allah is going to resurrect this meaning
this you know these bones the way we're going to become? decomposed?
You think Allah is going to resurrect us
After they become like Deus like this, the Prophet saw something.
Yes, yes, Allah will cause you to die first, then He will resurrect
you. Then He will gather you to the hellfire. And that's when the
verses of Surah Thea scene came down. And Savannah just perfect
when a mural in San Juan one hot corner who mean no perfect for
either who are hustling moving. What are Berliner Mithuna wanna
see a Hanukkah? Order me your healer Ivana we're here Amin
calling you hey Hala the
one Emirati who are equally Harlequin Nadeem Allah the Jana
comuna shedule body now for either to mean who to pay don't these
words exactly saying that? Hasn't the human seen the how we created
them from a clot from a bit of fluid and then suddenly he starts
to argue and suddenly becomes this obstinate argue and it's clear
argue and Allah subhanaw taala provides these examples and
they asked that who's going to resurrect after I'm just doing a
kind of a rough translation who's going to resurrect after these
bones have become completely decomposed like that so then say
to them that it's the One who created you in the first instance
who created your first time round he created you from nothing the
first time around why can't he created you a crate you now
recreate you from something that's actually left? Right. And where's
he's the most knowledgeable and aware about his creation? And and
he carries on that's a beautiful verse there but anyway, we will
leave that there but there's a few other points we will do and then
inshallah we will move then on to which is the first and last verses
and so on. Just like a law here may Allah subhanaw taala bless you
and bless our Ramadan and may Allah enlighten us about the Quran
illuminate us with the Quran and enliven us with the Quran.
