Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Qur’anic Sciences in 30 Days Part 5 Sura Order & Causes of Revelation
AI: Summary ©
The title of the Quran is a combination of multiple sections, including the title of the Prophet sallavi alayhi wa sallam, the title of the Bible, and the title of the Sunna Surah. There is confusion over the title and whether certain names are part of the Surah collection or not, and the narrator is weak. The segment also discusses the history of the Bible's origin and its connection to the Bible, as well as the importance of the Sunna Surah's connection to the next Surah and the history of people and events being revealed. The segment also touches on the use of "the event" as a way to express affirmations and events, and the use of "the event" as a way to express affirmations and events.

Salam alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh May Allah subhanaw
taala bless our Ramadan's and
allow us to understand the Quran Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
salatu salam ala McGrew with your Nittany Lion Amin are on the he
was so happy about like I was seldom at the Sleeman Cathy on
laomi Dean another call Allah with the baraka with the Isla for your
Quran emoji they went for final Hamid are all the Wilhemina
shaytani Raji, maybe Smilla Rahmanir Rahim who Allah hoo ha
Ahad Allahu Samad Lamia, they do whatever you will add with me
acculevel Khufu and had Hamdulillah. Yesterday, we
completed a discussion about the order of the verses and how they
are divinely ordained, and they're not something that was done later
and it cannot be changed. Today we move on to the sewers now, the
order of the sewers 140, sewers chapters, as we call them. Right.
There may have been a bit of confusion yesterday between the 30
chapters of the Quran and the 140 14 chapters of the Quran. So
214 are the real chapters of the Quran, the 30 sections that have
been made that generally people refer to as chapters, chapter one,
chapter two, you can call them chapters as well, I mean, it's
just a translation issue, but that's a later development. So now
the source of the Quran,
the arrangement therein as well, according to the overwhelming
majority of Allah Ma is also divinely ordained. It's also from
Allah subhanho wa taala. And it's not something that the Sahaba made
up or the Sahaba did in some way or the other. There is a slight
difference as to whether the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam verbally stated put it here and have this sort of after this
one, or whether it's what the professor loves. I'm actually did
that when he recited a few songs together, did he recite one after
the other. So, there is a difference of how they came up
with this as to whether the person clearly stated it explicitly, or
he did it based on his action of how he recited it. So there is a
view there is actually one other view which is ignore it. Yeah. And
a few other orlimar who say that, yes, the majority of the Sutras of
the Quran are definitely God ordained, right from the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Like for example, the the seven long
Surah as a sub three, while the ham, the Hawa meme, the various
homies they call how I mean, by the way, right, then the amorphous
solid, the amorphous solid, these are the stories from sortal
Circle, how gerat in in the Jews 26 Circle, how gerat until the
end, and they are then further split up into the long, amorphous
solid, the medium ones and the shorter ones. So cool, I will be
available for luck. In Altona, Kolkata, LM, Tara cave, all of
these will be from the short ones, then for example, the long ones
will be will be all the way, you know, all sorts of gerat all the
28 Choose the 29, switches and so on. And then in between, you've
got the medium ones. So these are considered the various different
sorts of all of these he's he according to this small group of
scholars, they say that these weren't on it's in the lifetime
the purpose of the law and Islam. It was known exactly how it was
known exactly, you know, which sort of went where, however, there
were a few other suitors maybe in which the order was slightly what
was agreed on by the Sahaba and they take this from one Hadith
from ignore adversity Allahu Anhu and you'll understand that it's
actually a misunderstanding of it, but they take this from Ignite i
birsa The Allahu Anhu even our bus of the Allahu Anhu said to Earth
man to the Allah one member of one of the Allah when you have to
remember he's considered the compiler of the Quran, okay. So,
Osman or the Allah one they said to him that why did you take so
little and fall, circle and fall which is from the Muthoni and then
which is followed by circle Bara Bara to mean Allahu Allah Sudhi
basically for your information, the only surah in the Quran that
does not have a Bismillah written before it is sorted Bara the one
before it is Surah unfurl. So he thinks sorted Bara is from the
mean, you see, you've got the
you've got the long sewers, which are the first several sewers then
after that you've got the mean, which are the sewers with
approximately an average of 100 verses they call the mean because
the word meter means 100. So those sores afterwards which are in the
middle there, they are called me in so Bara is from the mean,
whereas sort of unfurl is from the largest sort of
And you've combined the two together. And you've not written
Bismillah R Rahman Rahim in between, because the idea is that
the Bismillah is a separator between sewers. So if Bismillah is
not written there, that means that it's part of the previous Surah
however it does have in as we see it today, it does have like a
separate sort of sign. So that's the question that he asked him. So
it was man of the Allahu Anhu said that look, the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam very soon as would be revealed upon him and
whenever
a certain sort of would be revealed, he would say that put
these verses in this surah in which such and such a thing as
mentioned, so they were not necessarily they all the sort of
internal problems I was in didn't necessarily all have
fixed names that some of the students have been referred to by
two different names. Like today, you know, you there are certain
students Bani Israel certain extra two names. So to locate al Surah,
two Mohamed, there are more than one name for many of the soldiers.
So the names are not necessarily all with, we're not necessary all
fixed. So sometimes they would say that put the these verses in that
particular surah in which, for example, the you know, the spider
is mentioned, for example, right, and carboot or the spider web is
mentioned.
So, the other thing that he explained is that sorbitol and
fall, the first of those two sources, right, so little and fall
was one of the first sewers to be revealed in Madina Munawwara
because it talks about the spoils of war, and that's related to the
laws, whereas Surah Al Bara is one of the last of the sewers to be
revealed in the Quran. It's one of the lawsuits to be revealed. So,
also Sortland fasudil, Bara their subject matter is very, very
similar. They share a very similar subject matter. It's all about
war, Jihad battle, the way you call it. exoneration from
disbelievers from the Mushrikeen. All of that conversation is in
both of those sorts of the very, very similar. So when the sort of
Bara was revealed, which is one of the last words to be revealed,
according to this narration by the according to this generation, the
prophets of Allah Islam passed away.
And he did not clarify that this surah Bara or selection of verses
making up certain Bara is it part of circle and follow not?
Right, that this circle Bara without calling it a surah? If you
just take it as a set of verses, are they part of sorbitol and fall
or not.
So the subject matter is very, very close, we didn't know is a
separate Surah entirely or not. So that's why
we put them together. But I did not automatically alone on who
said I did not write a Bismillah in between, right.
So that's why I placed it with the first I placed it among the I
gathered it among the first seven. So actually, that's the eighth
Surah but he's linking it to the seven sore which is sort of dull
and flat is a seven surah. That means he's adding this to the
first seven collection, which are called a sub earthly world. The
seven long tours, right?
This hadith is related by Imam Ahmed and Imam ignore Hepburn and
Hakeem and so on. However, the other must say that you can't
really take from this hadith, this idea that there was this confusion
about this and I'll explain why. Right? For a number of reasons.
Firstly, this hadith is number one, its chain is weak. It's not a
sahih Hadith. It's not an authenticated narration. It's got
weakness in it.
There's evil Pharisee in here, he's a weak narrator, Imam Buhari,
etc. I've considered him weak. And thus based on that
this is not a hadith that you can establish a main point from
because of the weakness of this narration. You can't establish
such a strong point from here.
Also, the second point, that's the ISNA, that's its chain. The
wording of the Hadith itself
doesn't seem to
doesn't seem to go with reality, either. And the reason is that the
Sahaba would recite the Quran and they will take it from the
province house and they will recite it. How is it possible? How
is it possible that Abdullah ibn Abbas and didn't know about this,
others didn't know about this? People were reciting it, how did
they not know that unfairly is a Surah. And this is a Surah. I
mean, there's so there's a doubt in this whole narration. Now this
is there can be a doubt in the narration because it's a weak
narration right? That's why we've got another Hadith Which Imam
Hakeem has transmitted in the moose his mustard rock from Ignite
Abbas with the Allahu Anhu he said I asked earlier the hola Juan Ali
ignitability by the Allahu Anhu that why is there no Bismillah
written
In at the beginning of surgical Bara, see because the earliest
story from Athena then seems to make sense that there's a reason
why they did not add the Bismillah.
So that seems plausible. But again, the hadith is weak. So
there's another Hadith in which Alito the Allahu Anhu was asked
this question. And he said, Oh, because CIRTL Bismillah isn't a
man it's a safety
in the name of Allah most gracious most merciful right? There's it's
all about mercy and, and peace and everything like that. Whereas Bara
Psalter Bara, its whole theme is the sword. It's about fighting. So
it doesn't, it's not appropriate to have the Bismillah there, and
then talk about all of this because there's two different
ideas there. That's why the Bismillah was not written before.
Surah. That's what Omar that's according to this narration.
Likewise, Imam Al Khashoggi, he says that the Saudi opinion the
authentic opinion is that the Bismillah
was actually not written before sortcl bara because this is the
one Surah in which Gibreel Ali Salam did not bring the Bismillah
with it. So when he conveyed it to the province that allows them,
there was no Bismillah with it. That's why they left it like that.
So as you can see, I mean, the conclusion is that there is a
difference of opinion as to why Bismillah is not there. Right. And
there is a slight difference of opinion as to whether it's a
separate Surah or
a surah, just part of Sortland file, the strong opinion is that
it's a separate surah. And the reason Bismillah is not written
there is either because the theme of it is different to
it's different to the Bismillah. Or it's because that is just the
way it was revealed without a Bismillah and Allah subhanaw taala
knows best, but that's essentially how the old man's take any
afterwards as well.
There are a few there are so there are numerous than evidences for
the majority who believe that every single Surah including
Surah, Al Bara, was placed in its place by the Prophet salAllahu
alayhi wasallam. Right. And one of the big things is that that is
exactly you know, we see the most half of money right which all of
our must haves today all of our Quran say the copy of the Quran is
called a Muslim, or according to the merciful man or the Allahu
Anhu so Abdullah No muss Rudra the alone is a Hadith that Imam
Bukhari Rahmatullah has related from him
in which he says, that
sort of Bani Israel,
so little calf so that's certainly Surat Surah to calf Surah Maryam
surah Taha, sortal Ambia, these are the five swords in the middle
of the Quran in this order. He says, These are in fundamental
data in Google. They are from the very early first Soros to be
revealed. These five stories are from the very early first source
to be revealed. Well, who knows, I mean, dilla D, and they are also
the the earliest stories that I memorized.
They're the earliest of the stories that I memorized or
compiled together or understood, however, you want to take that
because all of these meanings are possible. So this is a body
narration that Abdullah Massoud the the Allahu anhu, knew the
order of the sutras from that time, that shows that there was an
order of the sutras.
Likewise,
there's another Hadith in Sahih al Bukhari that the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, it's related about the process and
that whenever he would go to his bed, and he would go to his bed
each night, he would put his two pawns together, and then he would
blow in them and recite all who Allah who had and then the more
Are we the team collaborative, you're a bit further and
collaborative their openness. Now that again shows an order that he
read it in this order here is a cool Walford first collaborative
product and call out their openness. There's another Hadith
from wealthy Allah ignorant UScar Radi Allahu Anhu that the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, now there's a really interesting
idea listen to this carefully, Imam Abu Tao that periodicity and
others have transmitted it. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said that I have been given
in place of the Torah, which is the torah right? The Divine
scripture of the Jews in place of that I've been given a
subdirectory while the seven long sewers that is your sort of
Bukhara sort of earlier Imran Surah Nisa and so a lot of Surah
to an imam. And those are the seven long sewers Right? Which is
Bukhara Ali Imran Nisa, ma EDA Anam our RAF and fall and that's
that's the that's the seven long tours in place of the Torah. I've
been given instead of the in place of the Psalms of David though that
A salaam I've been given the mean the the sort of thing in the
middle, which are approximately 100 verses each. And in place of
the Evangel. I translate injeel as the Evangel which is the original
of the Bible because as you know today the Bible has gone through
quite a bit of change and
I'm adding and taking out of the various different books and so on.
So the original Evangel that was revealed upon isa alayhis. Salam,
right? I've been given
in place of that the Muthoni, the Muthoni, right, and the other set
of us sewers. And then in addition in excess of that, so this
obviously takes care of the Torah, there's a board in the Injeel,
right, the Psalms and the Evangel. I've been given in addition to
that the Mufasa lot, which means from circle Hijra until the end.
Those are, they're not in comparison to anything. They are
absolutely new for me, which I've been graced with. There is another
view, though, that the amorphous solids, they don't start from sort
of Hydra turtle Hydra. That's pretty much what the majority view
is. But there is another view which says it starts on sort of
off, which makes it earlier, there's many more students than,
but the stronger view is that it's from sort of hijab until the end
of the Quran, which is about just over three Jews of Suris Abu Jafar
in the house he comments on this hadith saying that this is the
Hadith tells us that the compilation of the Quran sorry,
the order and the structure of the surah of the Quran. This was taken
directly from the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam and this
was something that was consolidated and arranged and
organized from his time and that is exactly how then the Quran is
have had it all the way through you will never see the change in
that right. So even hide it says that once the Prophet salallahu
alayhi wa sallam he relates that once the bra size and recited the
seven long sewers and if la meme from the beginning so to Bukhara
Allah Imran and so on historical unfurl, he recited them in one
rock art. This is a Hadith that Imam ibn Abi Shaybah this is what
this is in his nights, you know, when he would recite the long
sutras. There were occasions when he when he did this. That's how
many Jews is that about 10 years. Then you've got another Hadith
from Jose for a soccer fee. It's a very long Hadith I'm not going to
mention it or ignore it or else he relates from, from Khalifa
faculty. He said I asked the US hub of the companions of the
messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, how do you
divide the Quran? Like how do you make it into his lips? How do you
how do you you can say divided in into portions. So they told me
said earthen well Hudson was stubborn what is own way the ASHA
watashi wa Hizbul Mufasa diwata Who Imam Abu Dawood even imagine
Imam Muhammad have related this, what they're saying essentially,
we take the first three sores, which means sort of the Bacara
sort of idea Imran Surah Nisa right we take these, then we take
the five swords afterwards, then we take the next seven sewers,
then we take the next 11 sewers, then we take the next 13 sewers
and then we leave the more fossil and we read that together. So this
is basically saying that how do you divide your Quran reading like
if you want to finish it in a week for example, how do you divide it
up? So the saying that we read the first three stories together the
first three so Bukhara, Allah Imran certain Nisa, then the next
five, then the next seven, the next nine, the next 11, the next
13 And then the Mufasa term sorted Hydra 10 till the end. So that's
over seven days, that's the way they do it. I have not been able
to check but the history that you see published printed in our
Quran, maybe this is very similar to that this is very similar to
that. Also, the other thing that just proves this, which you might
be saying, Why are we belaboring this point, but it's important to
understand these things. Is that what proves that this is something
that was taken from the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam is that
if you look at the Quran, and you look at the Hawa meme, remember
the how I mean that's just the plural name of the HA memes,
right? There's quite a few ha memes. They all the homies are
together. Right so all the HA memes they all together, Jaime
will Quran Majeed they're all one after the other they're not
scattered there's no sort of in between the homies are all
together. Likewise that the task scenes that which purely they call
tower scene the Hawa meme the tower scene as a collective name,
so the tower scenes are all together. Right so the homies and
Thor scenes are together that scene does seem all of these that
altogether however the Musa Behat are not together now you're
wondering what are the must be heard some of you will already
know that you know what the masa Beata they are the sewers that
start with Subhanallah TSB glorification of Allah subhanho wa
taala. So you've got Subhanallah Hema V sama word. You've got your
sub Behati Lahemaa V Samoa, you've got sub base Murghab, big ol
Allah. So anything to do with the glorification in the Surah, start
sub Baja u sub Bihu sub B. All of these are called the Musa Behat
those that are done to glorify Allah Subhan
anatella Because it starts off with a DSB right? It starts off
with a DSP and certain Hadith I think has the longest of the two
species of any of the Musa Behat.
In those the, if the task scenes are all together one after the
other in succession likewise the How are memes are together, then
why aren't the Musa Behat together? The Musa Behat are not
together, you've got them in, you've got you've got them with
other students in between that are not of the Musa Behat right. So
for example, you've got Tahseen
Suresh shara, sorry Tassie meme, sir to Shara and Tassie meme
circle cosas that's been separated by so that's so that while the
task scenes, the the Thomasina altogether that includes Tahseen
and Tassi meme, right, but if it was somebody who did it later, and
wanted to put logical order, not just whatever he heard from the
Prophet sallallahu sallam, then the Dawa scenes would have been
organized according to Tahseen and Tassi meme as well. However,
they're not because you've got to Tassie memes Dawsey. Meme show
Surah to Shara and Dawsey meme sorter causes an in between is
certain number, which is just Tahseen. So otherwise, you would
have been tossing memes and then the Tahseen. But now there's a
Tahseen in between two Tassie memes, right, even though so to
normal is actually shorter. So it's logically should have been
later, but it's there that proves that this order, which is this way
has to be from the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam. So they
would have, I mean, they have put the, they would have also put the
Musa Bihar together, but they did not do that. And they would have
sorted out the tar scenes in that sense if it was organized. So
that's what you learned from there. And the last point I want
to mention on this is that many of the scholars throughout they've
actually mentioned the connections between solace. So how the
previous surah is connected to the next surah. Like the sometimes
there's a major theme right towards the end of the Surah, or
the full surah and how it's connected to the name next year.
And they've shown the organizations in between and so
on, that, again, shows and proves that this because they're very
cohesive, they're in harmony, the organization is harmony as well.
That just shows that also.
The this is something that the Prophet said the Lord is the lamb
had insisted on, and it was divinely ordained. Plus, this is
exactly how our must have has been until today. Over the over the
course of so many years.
Now today, I'm going to start off the next discussion which is a
suburban household. This is a really, really interesting
discussion. Right? A suburb is plural of suburb, it means it
means means causes, right? It means the causes and those all
means Revelation. So what we've got here is we've got a suburban
nosal meaning the means of Revelation, the causes for
revelation, or in other words, the circumstances under which various
verses or sources were revealed. Because as you know, we've been
discussing for the last two days, that the Quran came down over 23
years, and it came down, most of it came down.
Well, it came down based on questions that were asked or
certain circumstances that prevailed at the time, or to
provide a guidance about something else. So now, what the minima have
tried to do, and the Mohabbatein have done this, meaning the Hadith
scholars have done this is that they've tried to compile together
in one place, all of the reasons for revelation that it was this
incident that took place and this sort of came down, or this verse
came down, right, or the set of verses came down. I have mentioned
some of them to you already. So that's called a suburban New Zoo.
There are books on this subject, right separate category of books
on this subject. And otherwise, what you'll do is you'll actually
find in the Hadith collections, you will find the Hadith regarding
this, right. So they may not be separate books, but then you have
separate books about this as well. So what is a suburban Missoula,
essentially a suburban Missoula is manasota Till Iowa to a will is to
the heart that one who a Yamawaki that it is
the event
when it is an event in regarding which one verse or a cluster of
verses have been transmitted, discussing it during the time of
that event. So essentially, that's what it is. Now, that is the most
important part here, that the shorter or the verse must have
come down for that particular event. That's what makes that a
sub. That's what makes that a sub. You can't say that guidance. So in
what guidance is a reason for why while the Quran came down, but
that is not
In this category, this category is talking about particular reasons,
particular circumstances for why a Surah or whatever, or verses would
be revealed, not why the Quran was revealed as a whole. That's a
different idea, right? Which we know anyway. You see many, many
verses in the Quran they talk about past events like most
artists, and I'm story Pharaoh story. New Halle salaam story
animalism story that you can't say that that's a sub that it came
down to mention that story because that's not what we're talking
about here. We're talking about the current theme, the sorry, the
current circumstance, the current need event that was taking place,
due to which a verse came down to give some information and guidance
about it. That's what we're talking about. The entire Quran,
meaning every single verse in there, you can't say that every
single verse in there came down because of an event. Because that
was not the case. Many sources, many verses were revealed because
of a certain event, but not all of it. So you will find many, many
suitors, many verses in the Quran, where there'll be no event
recorded as to why it came down, but it came down. Right not
because of a particular event.
Most of the stories of the prophets are like that they didn't
necessarily come down because of an event although sometimes they
did. Right if there was a situation that was talking about
so
Abdullayev no matter whether the Allahu Anhu has a major claim
because
aside from the two major scholars of tafseer from the Sahaba right
the whose name is out there and who've got numerous Hadith to
their name is Abdullah Abdullah Abbas with the Allahu Anhu the
prophets are also made dua for that, Oh Allah teach him the Kitab
and give him the understanding of the interpretation of it. And the
other one was Abdullah Abdullah Masuda the Allah one, these two
are the top right then there's obviously many others like it, you
know, the Allah and obey the government, all of that. But these
two, they their name shines out above the rest. And one of the
reasons for that, right, one of the reasons for that is Abdullah
and also the the Allahu Anhu made a lot of efforts, right, he
really, this was his main occupation it seemed. So he says,
that Wallah, he man has an idea to an Illa, Allah morpheme and
desolate Wallahi. There's no verse, which has been every verse
that was revealed, I know exactly what it was revealed, for when it
was revealed, and so on and so forth. And he says that if I was
able to hear and learn about somebody who knew something about
it that I did not know, and I could get there on horseback, for
example, I would go, that's how diligent he was him he was a
master of this. Now that seems to indicate, on the apparent on the
apparent idea of it, that every he knew every verse is reason. No,
that's not true. Because every verse did not have a reason. He's
saying every verse in which there is a reason reported, then I know
it, I've gathered everything in which there is a reason, but there
are many that were not known. For example, when discussing the Day
of Judgment, things about the hereafter. They weren't they were
just revealed just like that, necessarily. Sometimes they may
have been revealed because of a particular situation.
Why should you know about the ASVAB and azul? Why were they
discussed? Why did Allah ma write so many books about them? And
really pay attention to them? What's the benefit of it? Well,
there is a reason for that, and
Subhanallah one of the reasons for it is that there are some verses
which are obscure in their meaning, right, if you take them
to generally, they're very obscure, but when you see the
cause for their Revelation, the circumstances in which they were
revealed, it makes it very clear what it means because the Quran
sometimes employs very general language, right, very general
language. So you get confused what is this talking about? Is this
what's mentioned here this message, is it universally applied
everywhere? Is it for a particular situation, I'll give you some
examples of this and inshallah this will help you when you take a
tuxedo and you start reading the Quran from a translation and you
you are trying to make some sense of it. Okay. So the benefit is
that if you know what the sub is, the the means are, then you can
see the connection and then informs you of the background of
something when you know the background of something clearly
that's enriching your experience enriching your knowledge as well.
So that's why Abdo Tamia Rahim Allah Rahim, Allah also says that
knowledge of the causes of revelation
really, really assist in understanding the verses. Right?
Because obviously, when you know the means of something, what
caught what's causing something then you'll you'll understand
better what is being caused by it. Likewise, another great scholar,
even reductio ad, he says, understanding or mentioning
clarifying the reasons for revelation is a 32nd, convenient
FIFA HMI manual Quran it's a very, very powerful method of
understanding the mean
meaning of the Quran. So you cannot become, you know, really
good at understanding the meaning without understanding the reasons.
So for example, if you look at most data to use monies, the Noble
Quran that's just been published recently, right?
He generally mentions the cause for revelation under many of the
verses. Right? So his he doesn't have too many comments, but where
he does, he generally mentions why a certain Surah or why certain
verses. So it's that really, really helps you to put things in
perspective, I've checked it out, it really helps to put things in
perspective.
Number two, you you the other benefit of knowing the causes of
Revelation is that you start understanding the wisdom for which
certain laws have come through. Because when you see the cause of
revenue, what happened, for example, there was a case an
altercation between
there was an incident when Ali to the Allah was told to lead the
prayer, and he had just been drinking before that in early
Islam when he was allowed to drink as I mentioned earlier, and
he messed up the verses, right, in terms of the order that it was
revealed. So then, the verse was revealed, okay, la Takara was
Salah to Anton Saqqara. Right, you're not allowed to come close
to prayer while you're intoxicated. So again, a lot of
Sahaba stopped drinking there, but had not been prohibited yet.
There's numerous cases like that, right? Where you understand some
of these things. You also understand how things were done
slowly. So you can actually learn from that. Number three, when you
don't know the meaning, when you don't know the cause of
Revelation. You could get confused by the meaning as to what it's
trying to say the purport of it. What is the signification of this?
I'll give you an example. Right? There was
a person who was was named was Marwan Abdul Hakim Marwan Abdul
Hakim was like a minister of very close to Earth manner the hola
Juan he was not as a hobby, right, but you could call him a tabby in
that sense, and he is actually then the head of the Marwan it
dynasty afterwards, because Abdul Malik Abdul Marwan his son,
becomes the big Khalifa afterwards, later on. So Marwan
Abdul Hakim regarding the verse in Surah 30 Imran verse 188, Allah
says, learned that Serban Lavina for Hoonah Bhima you hate buena in
your Madhu Bhima. And I'm near far too for the task seven whom be
Mufasa team min Elijah, what a home either Boon airy, those
people
who get really excited and exalt with what they've been given, and
they love to be praised. Right? Even about things that they did
not do. Right? They should
follow taxable, no, you should not think that they will be saved from
the fire. Sorry, from the punishment, in fact, for them is a
severe punishment.
So marijuana, Hakim got a bit worried. And he says that, you
know,
many people get excited about things that they've been given,
like, if I've achieved something, I get excited about it. And
there's people also who like to be praised, about things that they've
not necessarily done. And if that is the case, then we're all going
to be punished because we're probably all guilty of, you know,
this kind of excitement sometimes dad.
Right? So he got really worried about this, because the apparent
translation of the verse, that's what it indicates. Then if not a
busser, the Allahu Anhu came along and said, No, no, no, this, this
is not to be taken generally. This was actually about a very specific
event. What happened is that there was a group of the People of the
Book that who kita would come to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
asked them about something, there was something about their loss and
needed to find out. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam asked
them about the reality of something about an event or
something, and they concealed it. And instead, they gave him some
other information, they gave him the wrong information. Now, after
that, gathering after that meeting, they left and they were
quite excited and quite, you know, satisfied by in their mind
thinking, sorry, in their mind, whether you call it having
deceived the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, right? They
that's what they thought that they had deceived the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So they were quite excited in their
mind, right? This verse came down regarding them, that this is about
them that they're going to be severely punished. This is not
talking about, you know, somebody who gets a bit excited, and we
shouldn't get too excited. We should always think that Allah
subhanaw taala is giving everything but it's not going to
be punishing, you know, punishable if, if we do, I think that ties in
this particular point ties in with what we've been saying before that
even though the Quran came down over 23 years for different causes
and reasons, is still you know, makes perfect sense and it's still
in harmony, and so on so forth. I'm not going to
Talk about that one. Again. Now, what I want to quickly mention is
some of the ways to how to figure out the suburb windows or what
where do we find these causes of revelation from if you want to
find them. Number one, this is not one thing that we can say for sure
is that this is something that you can only understand through the
prophet sallallahu alayhi salam and the sahaba. Regarding the
exact events, this is not something that you can make up.
This is not something you can acquire rationally and say, Hey, I
think this is what was going on. And that's why this verse was
revealed, because that makes no sense. It's either there was an
event that took place, or there wasn't right, and you can't just
mix this up. You can't just make this up. So this has to be
something that is being transmitted to us. That's why
there's various narrations about this of people of the of the
tablet in etc, warning against this. Now, one thing is that
we learned this from the sahaba. And that have been primarily from
them, because they're the ones who were there at the time who are
trying to figure this out. They were part a lot of the time, they
knew about the event that took place in the circumstance. So now
if a Sahabi, a companion says that this is the reason for the
revelation of it. And he doesn't say the Prophet salallahu alayhi,
salam, whatever, we're still going to assume that that is exactly
what happened, that he's just not mentioning that the Prophet
sallallahu sallam said this, but the only way that he would have
figured this out was probably because the prophets of awesome
said it. So that would be like a hadith. And likewise, if the
debate, you said that you would assume that they've heard a Sahabi
telling them that however, you have to be careful. We're now
getting into Hadith studies, we're now getting into Hadith territory,
because now all of this becomes Hadith. Now, when it comes to
Hadith, there are this criteria that you have to understand about
whether you can accept the Hadith or not, and the grading of Hadith.
So everything that is purported to be from the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam is going to be graded that okay, this this
hadith, or these Hadith, they are, absolutely, we're going to agree
with them, that they are absolutely authenticated there to
sign aerations. Then there's the ones which are acceptable and
sound, which are called hallucinations. And then you've
got the weak ones which are doubtful, right? But most likely,
they're right, but they're doubtful. And then you've got
those who have been graded as fabricated, that we know that
there's a problem in here, right, a major problem in here. So let me
give you some examples of this. Allah subhanaw taala says, We're
unfair Kofi sebe. The law he wants to be ad come in Toluca. Now, this
what I told Kobe ad, Camila Taluka is a very, very misquoted verse,
right up or close part of the verse. Allah says, spending the
path of Allah and do not with your very hands with your own very
hands, destroy yourself, or put yourself throw yourself into
destruction. Now I've heard this had this verse being used so many
times, saying that, okay, if you are, for example, sick, or if this
happens, then make sure that you don't destroy yourself with your
own very hands by fasting, for example, or by praying or
whatever, and sometimes just completely misrepresented because
this verse came down for a different reason it was about
fighting in the path of Allah subhanaw taala. Right. So now,
Imam Buhari has quoted from holiday for the Allahu anhu, he
said that this was revealed regarding spending, this was
revealed regarding spending, not about anything else, what we have
to be careful about here is from many, now we're going to take our
suburban azul from the Sahaba and Tabin. However,
if as a hobby or a tablet, he says, that nuzzled fika, that this
verse was revealed about this event, in this event, that does
not necessarily mean that it will, it is the sole cause of its
revelation. They use the same word for that as well, but not always.
They also use the same word, the same expression, to say that, this
surah, or these verses were revealed about a particular
subject. It's two different things. These verses were revealed
about this event. But as well, they found the alarm said here,
these, this verse was revealed regarding spending in the path of
Allah.
So he's talking about the subject matter, which is not the cause of
Revelation. So you should not get confused. When you see a Sahaba
saying that, Oh, this was real about this, it doesn't mean that
this was the cause of the revelation. It just means that oh,
this is the topic that this these verses cover, this is the subject
matter of it. So one has to be very careful about that. I'll give
you one example of where because now this is all Hadith study, you
have to be careful about the status of that narration. So let's
say Allah subhanaw taala says in Surah na Milan Surah to Bukhara
what Allah Hill machinery who will Malibu for a NEMA to well no
Fatima YG hula for Allah is the east and the west.
Just both east and west belong to Allah subhanho wa Taala in
whichever direction you face then there is the countenance of Allah.
Now, there is a narration, Which
Imam Muslim has related from Abdullah, Amara Amara, the Allah
one he says that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would
pray, when he is on his way to Makkah, from Madina, Munawwara
he's on his way to MK Kumbakonam from Madina Munawwara he would
pray upon his,
his mount, his camel, his horse, whatever it was, in whichever
direction the animal was facing.
And about this, it is about this, that this verse was revealed in a
moto LUFA module Allah
that seems to indicate that this is the cause for its revelation.
This is a Hadith of Muslim. Right now, there's another Hadith which
tells you something slightly different. That one is rated by
Imam telemovie. And he even told me the himself has said it's weak
narration is not a strong narration
that this verse was revealed. Regarding some regarding the
person who they're not sure which way Qiblah is you go to a new
place, and you don't know which way tiblet is. So you make an
effort, oh, the sun is in that direction is going down in the
west and so on. So tibula must be this way. Or you look around and
think, okay, it must be this way. So you make your best effort, and
then you you face, but then you make a mistake, right? You
actually it turns out to be wrong. So he's saying that you're solid,
and that is the fatwa the solid will be valid, you're solid, as
long as you've made the best effort to figure out which way the
Qibla is, and then you prayed. And then after the prayer, somebody
told you, or you found out that actually, I prayed wrong, your
Salah would still be valid. Yet, if you found out in the middle,
you'd have to, you know, that's when it's messed up. But
otherwise, if you find out afterwards, your Salat is done
that's just made easy for us. So according to tell me the this was
verse came down for that reason.
However, it's actually the first reason because that hadith sahih,
and that is more authenticated that he actually came down because
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was going in, you know,
preying on, and that is what it is. Today. If you're sitting on a
bus, you're sitting in a car, outside your town, you can't do
this in town, outside your town or city, outside your area. And
you're traveling, for example, I'm going from here to Birmingham to
Birmingham, I can actually sit in the seat, even though I'm not
going to be facing the Qibla. Because Qibla is more from
Birmingham to London direction, and I'm going in the northern
direction, right, Caroline, England is southeast. So I'm
facing the opposite direction. I can do knuffel prayers in the car,
I can do knuffel prayers, sitting in a bus sitting in a flight in
whichever direction I cannot do followed like that, though. Right?
So that explains one of those. There's a few other reasons which
we'll inshallah cover in the next session, that sometimes you
actually find out that there's more than one cause for a single
verse, or a verse was revealed for more than one reason, right? And
how to put all of that you know, how to understand that all and
then some of the sources for this information. Inshallah, we will
look at that tomorrow and I'll give you some examples of this
