The title "Returnsuran" in Arabic language is a reference to the generation of the Iranian people and is not commonly taught in schools. The language is widely used in writing, including its complexity, multiple words, and various meanings. The success of the Quran in the Middle East has been effective in communicating with people and reducing sensitivity and emotions, and the title "has been written" can be used to describe actions and ideas. The importance of reading the Quran and finding words that bring together words and phrases is also discussed.

What the Quran with the Quran did Allah subhanaw taala he revealed

00:00:04 --> 00:00:09

such a Quran that was neither poetry. It did not fit the scale

00:00:09 --> 00:00:12

of poetry. You know the conventions of poetry, it did not

00:00:12 --> 00:00:18

fit that it did not fit the normal criteria of prose, which is normal

00:00:18 --> 00:00:24

writing, neither did it fit completely. sermons. So, the Arabs

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27

number one, they're completely confused and astonished. What is

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

this style?

00:00:29 --> 00:00:32

There's no way a human can write this because humans would have

00:00:32 --> 00:00:36

written according to one of the two or three styles that were

00:00:36 --> 00:00:40

already conventional. So what kind of new style is this? Where did

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

they get this from?

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen

00:00:48 --> 00:00:51

Alhamdulillah. Hilary Ansel for Connor, or the IBA, the Helio

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23

hula half alone.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:28

So firstly before I discuss specific aspects regarding the

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

Quran, I want to say that

00:01:31 --> 00:01:37

if you go to certain boroughs of London, London has over a million

00:01:37 --> 00:01:41

Muslims. And if you go to certain boroughs of London, for example,

00:01:41 --> 00:01:42

Hackney

00:01:43 --> 00:01:47

I think in Hackney alone, there's probably 1000 hoofers. If you go

00:01:47 --> 00:01:51

to New Hampshire, there's probably 1000 roofers there and it's

00:01:51 --> 00:01:56

probably a few others. And in sha Allah, this burr is catching up.

00:01:56 --> 00:02:01

And in sha Allah very soon they will be hundreds and then 1000 in

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04

sha Allah who fires and half is of the Quran.

00:02:05 --> 00:02:10

So not every bearer is the same. But the reason why insha Allah you

00:02:10 --> 00:02:14

have this now is because not only do you have the Imams that you've

00:02:14 --> 00:02:18

called from other places like Imam Anis etc. You have also given

00:02:18 --> 00:02:21

sacrifice, to send your own children

00:02:23 --> 00:02:27

like Mala Salman and the other the OMA that you have.

00:02:28 --> 00:02:32

So that they are born here, they've gone and studied and now

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35

mashallah they are doing additional work. This is the only

00:02:35 --> 00:02:39

way that the communities can prosper here. You can tell when a

00:02:39 --> 00:02:43

community has matured when a community has matured, when they

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45

have hips classes,

00:02:47 --> 00:02:51

you can tell that a community has matured when they can produce half

00:02:51 --> 00:02:55

is when they can have graduations. There's a lot of communities they

00:02:55 --> 00:02:55

don't

00:02:56 --> 00:03:01

they don't prepare a single harvest. Why? Because there's no

00:03:01 --> 00:03:06

hips class, most likely because they're most likely more

00:03:06 --> 00:03:11

interested in school and Alhamdulillah many of these other

00:03:11 --> 00:03:15

communities have shown us that you can get the best of both worlds.

00:03:16 --> 00:03:20

In so many communities we have many who first of the Quran not

00:03:20 --> 00:03:23

just prefers Baroda ma who have also

00:03:24 --> 00:03:32

either before or after achieved major degrees or PhDs. So we have

00:03:32 --> 00:03:37

to remember that you don't have to just focus on one way you can get

00:03:37 --> 00:03:40

the best of both worlds. Mashallah, today there are some

00:03:40 --> 00:03:45

families where every single boy within that family of five or six

00:03:45 --> 00:03:49

brothers and sisters and all of their children, all the boys in

00:03:49 --> 00:03:52

that family a half is of the Quran. There's also some cases

00:03:52 --> 00:03:55

where nearly all the girls are half is of the Quran as well.

00:03:57 --> 00:04:01

Now, don't say that this is something that my parents or my

00:04:01 --> 00:04:04

parents family or my forefathers never did, we never had a harvest

00:04:04 --> 00:04:09

in the family, change it, make it such that now from now on.

00:04:10 --> 00:04:15

Inshallah, your generations will have Hibs and memorization of the

00:04:15 --> 00:04:18

Quran and you will see the blessing of the Quran in your

00:04:18 --> 00:04:24

families then. So that's why I'm congratulating this community that

00:04:24 --> 00:04:29

will Hamdulillah you have been able to graduate over 30 Coface so

00:04:29 --> 00:04:32

far, and that means that this is a mature community in terms of the

00:04:32 --> 00:04:36

Islamic aspects and may Allah subhanaw taala only increase it a

00:04:36 --> 00:04:43

lot more 53 Who first Mashallah. So now, Allah subhanahu Uttara

00:04:44 --> 00:04:48

has revealed this Quran to us and we know that anyway, right? So

00:04:48 --> 00:04:52

what do I want to talk to you about today? When Allah subhanaw

00:04:52 --> 00:04:55

taala revealed this Quran He revealed it in Arabic.

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59

So one of the major aspects of the Quran is the error

00:05:00 --> 00:05:06

Big is revealed in it's a very special Arabic, before Islam

00:05:06 --> 00:05:08

before the Quran was revealed,

00:05:09 --> 00:05:14

the people of the people of Arabia, the Meccans, the Quraysh,

00:05:14 --> 00:05:19

etc. They prided themselves of being able to speak very

00:05:19 --> 00:05:25

effectively. That's why they used to call themselves Arab. Arab

00:05:25 --> 00:05:29

comes from the concept of articulation, the ability to

00:05:29 --> 00:05:34

effectively say what's in your hearts in a very, very clear

00:05:34 --> 00:05:38

manner. They were so proud of their language. Because the

00:05:38 --> 00:05:43

language is very broad. It's very extensive. They have multiple

00:05:43 --> 00:05:48

words for different degrees and different levels of the same idea.

00:05:49 --> 00:05:54

Multiple words for the same objects, for example, to use in

00:05:54 --> 00:05:58

different ways. They'll have a difference of word for somebody

00:05:58 --> 00:06:02

sitting. Why do you need difference of words, if the person

00:06:02 --> 00:06:06

was lying down and he sat, that's a different word to if you sat

00:06:06 --> 00:06:06

from standing,

00:06:08 --> 00:06:12

it is so specific that from the choice of each of those words, you

00:06:12 --> 00:06:17

get a lot more than just, he's sitting, oh, he sat up from lying

00:06:17 --> 00:06:21

down, and now he's sitting, or he sat down from standing up. This is

00:06:21 --> 00:06:27

just a simple idea for love, for example, over 28 terms for the

00:06:27 --> 00:06:30

stages of love, and so on. This is not the time to go into that and

00:06:30 --> 00:06:35

bore you with the details. But just to give you an idea. Now, the

00:06:35 --> 00:06:40

highest level of Arabic in those days were was usually portrayed

00:06:40 --> 00:06:44

and exhibited in poetry. So they used to have in those days, there

00:06:44 --> 00:06:46

weren't many written books at all, because there wasn't much of a

00:06:46 --> 00:06:49

tradition of writing. So there weren't many written books.

00:06:50 --> 00:06:55

However, they used to be sermons. This is where sermonize is used to

00:06:55 --> 00:06:59

give sermons and exhort people to do something or not to do

00:06:59 --> 00:07:02

something. That's where they would use their language, and a higher

00:07:02 --> 00:07:08

form of language was used in their poetry. Poetry usually carries the

00:07:08 --> 00:07:11

highest form of any language because it's short, filled with

00:07:11 --> 00:07:15

meaning. And the best poet is usually the one that can say

00:07:15 --> 00:07:19

something in a very short, beautiful way and have multiple

00:07:19 --> 00:07:23

meanings inside it. That's what good poetry is supposed to be good

00:07:23 --> 00:07:27

poetry is not just rhyme, though they used to make it rhyme as

00:07:27 --> 00:07:27

well.

00:07:29 --> 00:07:33

What the Quran with the Quran did Allah subhanaw taala he reveals

00:07:33 --> 00:07:38

such a Quran that was neither poetry, it did not fit the scale

00:07:38 --> 00:07:41

of poetry, you know, the conventions of poetry, it did not

00:07:41 --> 00:07:46

fit that it did not fit the normal criteria of prose, which is normal

00:07:46 --> 00:07:53

writing, neither did it fit completely. sermons. So the Arabs

00:07:53 --> 00:07:56

number one, they're completely confused and astonished. What is

00:07:56 --> 00:07:57

this style?

00:07:58 --> 00:08:01

There's no way a human can write this because humans would have

00:08:01 --> 00:08:04

written according to one of the two or three styles that were

00:08:04 --> 00:08:09

already conventional. So what kind of new style is this? Where did

00:08:09 --> 00:08:10

they get this from?

00:08:11 --> 00:08:18

The Quran has a poetic element. The Quran has a prose element, a

00:08:18 --> 00:08:22

sermonizing element nussey. Her element, exhortation element,

00:08:22 --> 00:08:26

commanding element, prohibiting element, he's got all of these

00:08:26 --> 00:08:30

different things, and they just, they didn't want to say it, except

00:08:30 --> 00:08:34

the ones who believed and who were convinced by the Quran they became

00:08:34 --> 00:08:36

Muslim, then of course, they realize it's from Allah anyway.

00:08:36 --> 00:08:42

But the starting point is this. Humans can't do this. They tried

00:08:42 --> 00:08:46

to say it's just poetry. But then the best of their poets, the

00:08:46 --> 00:08:50

experts said, This doesn't sound like poetry. Well, ma who will be

00:08:50 --> 00:08:55

Coaly share Cadila moto minimoon, whether it be codec in Karela Mata

00:08:55 --> 00:09:00

the Quran, that Allah says, when he Rhaegar when he when he said

00:09:00 --> 00:09:03

those words are Omar the Allahu Anhu had actually said

00:09:04 --> 00:09:08

Allah Subhana 10 Zulu Mirabella Allah me, it's a revelation from

00:09:08 --> 00:09:11

the lords of the worlds. So that was one of the ways that they

00:09:12 --> 00:09:15

captured the people. Now that might not be relevant for us

00:09:15 --> 00:09:20

unless we learn Arabic. Does that mean it's a wasted idea? No. You

00:09:20 --> 00:09:24

needed that initial group to become convinced and they were

00:09:24 --> 00:09:28

mashallah these people were rough, tough people. Right. The Qureshi

00:09:28 --> 00:09:33

tribes. One of the reasons why that area was chosen was because

00:09:33 --> 00:09:38

Obama had mentioned number one, it's a very harsh climate. So

00:09:38 --> 00:09:41

those people if they chosen to carry the message, they could then

00:09:41 --> 00:09:44

travel anywhere in the world, and they'll be fine because most

00:09:44 --> 00:09:49

likely anywhere would not be as tough climate with that heat, and

00:09:49 --> 00:09:53

the sand and the desert and the mountains, and they could they

00:09:53 --> 00:09:56

could find it beneficial anywhere else they could deal with it. That

00:09:56 --> 00:10:00

was number one. Number two, the language was a very

00:10:00 --> 00:10:04

powerful language. That's why as I said they call themselves out. And

00:10:04 --> 00:10:08

they call everybody else IgM. And you know, urgent. IgM means urgent

00:10:08 --> 00:10:13

means dumbness, the inability to express your thoughts. So they

00:10:13 --> 00:10:16

reckoned everybody else couldn't express their thoughts. So

00:10:16 --> 00:10:20

although they were a wild, they were wild factions. And you had

00:10:20 --> 00:10:23

the Romans to the north and south and you had the Persians to the

00:10:23 --> 00:10:27

east, they still felt themselves superior in many ways, and they

00:10:27 --> 00:10:31

were very stubborn about this. So when Allah subhanaw taala revealed

00:10:31 --> 00:10:33

the Quran, and then Allah challenged them because they were

00:10:33 --> 00:10:37

not willing to listen. So Allah subhanho wa Taala challenged them

00:10:37 --> 00:10:39

to produce 10 sewers.

00:10:40 --> 00:10:42

They couldn't do that Allah challenge them to produce one

00:10:42 --> 00:10:47

surah. They were unable to do that. Now Now think about this,

00:10:47 --> 00:10:50

they were unable to do that, despite the fact that they had the

00:10:50 --> 00:10:54

best Arabic. Nowhere in history has anybody had better Arabic than

00:10:54 --> 00:10:58

at that time, that was the peak of their eloquence, the peak of the

00:10:58 --> 00:11:03

Arab civilization in the sense of language. They had multiple good

00:11:03 --> 00:11:09

speakers, right? They had multiple people, poets, and other surmises,

00:11:09 --> 00:11:13

to be able to produce good Arabic experts. They all got together,

00:11:13 --> 00:11:17

they couldn't do anything. None of them could produce the like of it.

00:11:17 --> 00:11:21

They tried, they did try. Now this This is despite the fact that they

00:11:21 --> 00:11:26

were they had enmity towards Islam. They wanted to produce

00:11:26 --> 00:11:28

something. Now one is that you don't want to produce nobody

00:11:28 --> 00:11:31

bothers taking up the challenge. No, they took up the challenge

00:11:31 --> 00:11:34

because they had to, because the Quran was telling them things,

00:11:34 --> 00:11:38

condemning them. So they had to respond. Despite that they could

00:11:38 --> 00:11:41

not come with a response. They could not come up with a response.

00:11:41 --> 00:11:46

So that is one way that the Quran is a miracle, because of its

00:11:46 --> 00:11:49

language. But that's not the only way it's a miracle. There are

00:11:49 --> 00:11:55

multiple ways, multiple ways it is a miracle. Right? So for those who

00:11:55 --> 00:11:58

don't understand Arabic and who don't appreciate this,

00:11:59 --> 00:12:03

you know, how does it affect you? It doesn't necessarily except that

00:12:03 --> 00:12:08

you can just say that's amazing, right? However, there are multiple

00:12:08 --> 00:12:10

other ways the Quran is a miracle which we don't have time to go

00:12:10 --> 00:12:14

into. The Quran is a miracle based on many things that the Prophet

00:12:14 --> 00:12:15

salallahu Alaihe Salam said,

00:12:17 --> 00:12:21

and what Allah subhanaw taala said in the Quran, that has only become

00:12:21 --> 00:12:26

true later on, or has become more true and revealed later on. Allah

00:12:26 --> 00:12:31

said something, and these things became a reality. Some years

00:12:31 --> 00:12:34

later, Allah says, Oliva Tea Room.

00:12:36 --> 00:12:39

Rome in the time of the Prophet salallahu Salam, the Romans were

00:12:39 --> 00:12:43

defeated by the Persians. But Allah subhanaw taala says, In the

00:12:43 --> 00:12:47

Surah, Surah, two room, whatever your room fee additional Earth

00:12:48 --> 00:12:52

in a very short while, they're going to become the dominators.

00:12:53 --> 00:12:56

And that's exactly what happens. As a multiverse This is not the

00:12:56 --> 00:12:59

time to go into these prophecies because we've got a very short

00:12:59 --> 00:13:04

amount of time. So despite the fact that

00:13:05 --> 00:13:09

the Quran is in Arabic, for us, there's multiple ways that the

00:13:09 --> 00:13:13

Quran is a miracle, the multiple ways the Quran is a miracle. So

00:13:15 --> 00:13:19

they remained completely defeated, they were unable to present

00:13:19 --> 00:13:24

something and that is why Allah subhanho wa Taala finally said,

00:13:24 --> 00:13:29

that if the jinn and the insan the human beings were to come

00:13:29 --> 00:13:33

together, love which the marital genuine ensue, Allah Yeah, to be

00:13:34 --> 00:13:38

if they were able to even come together, join with each other,

00:13:38 --> 00:13:42

congregate together to try to produce something like the Quran,

00:13:42 --> 00:13:45

they would not be able to do so the Quran just finally said that

00:13:45 --> 00:13:49

and nobody's been able to produce anything like it right.

00:13:50 --> 00:13:53

Now, one of the things about this is

00:13:55 --> 00:14:00

the Djinn they heard the Quran and Subhan Allah Allah subhanaw taala

00:14:00 --> 00:14:04

has mentioned the whole story of that in more than one place in the

00:14:04 --> 00:14:08

Quran, but especially in Surah Turgeon when the jinn heard the

00:14:08 --> 00:14:13

Quran, they were astonished about this. And they say in summer in

00:14:13 --> 00:14:20

Quran and algebra, we've heard an amazing astonishing Quran yeah de

00:14:20 --> 00:14:26

la Rushdie which guides to which which shows the people towards

00:14:26 --> 00:14:26

guidance

00:14:28 --> 00:14:32

for our Manabi and we have become followers we have we have believed

00:14:32 --> 00:14:36

we have become believers. What a new Sheikah Rabina haha, and we're

00:14:36 --> 00:14:42

never going to associate anybody with Allah subhanaw taala they

00:14:42 --> 00:14:45

were immediately affected, many of them were immediately affected.

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

Now Hamdulillah we have the Quran

00:14:51 --> 00:14:56

we have the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala has sent us the Quran right?

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

Everybody has the Quran in the house. In fact now

00:15:00 --> 00:15:02

You can have it as an app, you can be carrying it all the time.

00:15:03 --> 00:15:07

So now the question is very simple. Allah has sent you a

00:15:07 --> 00:15:08

message, have you read it yet?

00:15:10 --> 00:15:14

I don't mean reading it when you just finish a Quran by reading,

00:15:15 --> 00:15:19

for example, in Ramadan, or otherwise. I mean, have you read

00:15:19 --> 00:15:23

it to understand what your Lord wants to tell us? He is our

00:15:23 --> 00:15:28

Creator, He is our God, He has sent this as a message is not just

00:15:28 --> 00:15:31

something beautiful. He sent it as a message. Have we read the

00:15:31 --> 00:15:35

message? You know, there's been occasions when I get very busy,

00:15:35 --> 00:15:38

and I've received messages even from important people, and I have

00:15:39 --> 00:15:42

not been able to read it. And then I get a call from that person.

00:15:42 --> 00:15:45

After three days, have you read my message, and I feel so

00:15:45 --> 00:15:49

embarrassed. I know I received it. But really sorry. In fact, once I

00:15:49 --> 00:15:53

was invited to a conference, or a big conference in another country,

00:15:54 --> 00:15:57

and I had was not sure if I was going on, I told them, I will let

00:15:57 --> 00:16:01

you know the date to book my tickets. They booked my ticket,

00:16:01 --> 00:16:03

they sent me a message and I didn't read it because I thought I

00:16:03 --> 00:16:06

was too busy. I thought this probably just some schedule

00:16:06 --> 00:16:10

they're sending me. Then they sent me another message one day before,

00:16:10 --> 00:16:16

and I checked, and then I realized that they sent me a message. They

00:16:16 --> 00:16:20

had sent me a business class tickets. And it was Friday night.

00:16:21 --> 00:16:24

And it was Saturday morning that I had to leave. And I had to contact

00:16:24 --> 00:16:26

them. I said I'm really sorry, I can't do this. This is what you

00:16:26 --> 00:16:29

get when you don't listen. And when you do not read people's

00:16:29 --> 00:16:33

message WhatsApp messages, emails or whatever, Allah has sent us a

00:16:33 --> 00:16:38

message it is sitting in your inbox, in your shells of your

00:16:38 --> 00:16:43

house, on your phones, we're going to get to the hereafter after many

00:16:43 --> 00:16:47

years and Allah is going to say that I sent you a message of who I

00:16:47 --> 00:16:52

am what I want from you what I like you to do Did you read my

00:16:52 --> 00:16:56

message and we're going to be so embarrassed that ya Allah I did

00:16:56 --> 00:16:59

catch a random parts of your message when the Allah ma spoke

00:16:59 --> 00:17:03

about it in Friday prayers and other times just random places

00:17:03 --> 00:17:06

when autumn I'll talk about one verse or two verses but I never

00:17:06 --> 00:17:09

got to read the whole thing. What an embarrassment that's going to

00:17:09 --> 00:17:09

be

00:17:11 --> 00:17:17

I feel guilty about this myself. Right? But so please mashallah

00:17:17 --> 00:17:21

these who fossa big memorize the Quran, so I'm going to tell them

00:17:21 --> 00:17:25

and everybody else get it. Quran translation in any language, and

00:17:25 --> 00:17:28

there's multiple available whether it be in English, whether that be

00:17:28 --> 00:17:33

in Tamil, right, whether that be in Urdu, whether that be in Pashto

00:17:33 --> 00:17:38

for our brothers, right? Start reading it, even if it's one page

00:17:38 --> 00:17:42

a day. And at least before we die, we want to read the whole thing.

00:17:43 --> 00:17:45

And I guarantee you that you will get hooked.

00:17:47 --> 00:17:50

Once you start reading you will find who Allah is what he's

00:17:50 --> 00:17:54

telling you what he wants, what he likes, what he dislikes, at least

00:17:54 --> 00:17:59

once in your life, read it, not to give fatwas not to become one of

00:17:59 --> 00:18:03

the movies not to argue with people just to be inspired. What

00:18:03 --> 00:18:08

is my God, my lord? My Allah saying to me, that's what I want

00:18:08 --> 00:18:08

to know.

00:18:10 --> 00:18:13

If not Abbas, and I believe you there is so much for the Quran.

00:18:13 --> 00:18:15

You know the scholars if you see what they do, I'll give you an

00:18:15 --> 00:18:19

example of one scholar of the Indian subcontinent Maulana Anwar

00:18:19 --> 00:18:23

Shah Kashmiri Rahim Allah, he had got to such a level that

00:18:23 --> 00:18:27

eventually in some Ramadan, he would just be reading one juice a

00:18:27 --> 00:18:33

day, not to memorize it, not to repeat not to revise it, not to

00:18:33 --> 00:18:35

understand its meaning he'd already gone beyond that, you know

00:18:35 --> 00:18:40

where he was. He was just reading one juice a day in Ramadan to try

00:18:40 --> 00:18:44

to figure out the effective communication of the Quran. The

00:18:44 --> 00:18:49

Bulava of the Quran, the fossa of the Quran, the the specific way

00:18:49 --> 00:18:53

that Allah has said whatever he has said, that is so effective.

00:18:53 --> 00:18:58

And that is unchallengeable unparalleled. That's all he was

00:18:58 --> 00:19:02

discussing. Just how why is this word used instead of that word.

00:19:03 --> 00:19:07

And that is such an amazing when I mean, I know that's really far

00:19:07 --> 00:19:11

ahead. But we've got the rest of our life, at least in Ramadan. And

00:19:11 --> 00:19:13

during the year we read a page or two.

00:19:14 --> 00:19:18

If you have sensitivity issues, if you have emotion issues, the Quran

00:19:18 --> 00:19:22

is the shifa for all of that. You will find so many things to calm

00:19:22 --> 00:19:27

your emotions down to calm your sensitivity tivities down Calm

00:19:27 --> 00:19:31

your worries and your griefs and everything to find a way for them

00:19:31 --> 00:19:34

to channel them in the right direction. Allah subhanaw taala

00:19:34 --> 00:19:37

where you just read the Quran, and if you want to cry, that's where

00:19:37 --> 00:19:40

you should cry. You don't cry for free for no reason. If you're

00:19:40 --> 00:19:43

sensitive and you feel let down cry with the Quran you'll see the

00:19:43 --> 00:19:48

benefit of it. If not, Abdullah Abdullah Abbas Radi Allahu Anhu he

00:19:48 --> 00:19:52

says in the Quran who should June What for noon? Latin called the

00:19:52 --> 00:19:59

Agile Abel. What are two Blaha to the Quran is multifaceted the

00:19:59 --> 00:19:59

Quran

00:20:00 --> 00:20:04

has multiple disciplines that it discusses multiple meanings of

00:20:04 --> 00:20:10

single versus multiple ideas that can come multiple inspirations it

00:20:10 --> 00:20:14

can give you its wonders will never end this as Latin called the

00:20:14 --> 00:20:19

idea EBO it's one this will never end. And you can never reach the

00:20:19 --> 00:20:22

end of it. There's always more. There's always more. There's

00:20:22 --> 00:20:27

always one we haven't even started. Ibrahim, Adham Ibrahim,

00:20:27 --> 00:20:32

no, I'm one of the great Olia of Allah. He said once I found I came

00:20:32 --> 00:20:35

to meet this really pious person, lucky to be the minister, but this

00:20:35 --> 00:20:39

really pious worshiper and devotee, and he wouldn't sleep at

00:20:39 --> 00:20:42

night. Everybody said this guy doesn't sleep at nights. So I said

00:20:42 --> 00:20:47

to him, Lima Latin and why don't you sleep? So he said, monotony

00:20:47 --> 00:20:49

Agia Abel Curonian

00:20:50 --> 00:20:53

Allah give us this say Suhana he says what prevents me from

00:20:53 --> 00:20:56

sleeping are the wonders of the Quran. He starts reading he

00:20:56 --> 00:20:59

probably you know, like the way we do. Let me just check my Twitter

00:20:59 --> 00:21:02

or Facebook before I go to sleep. You know, let's check check the

00:21:02 --> 00:21:08

latest tweets or latest news. And then it takes half an hour or one

00:21:08 --> 00:21:11

hour and there's like, Oh man, look at this is one o'clock

00:21:11 --> 00:21:14

already. I need to go early for work. They used to do that with

00:21:14 --> 00:21:18

the Quran probably. So they start looking at it at nights and they

00:21:18 --> 00:21:20

just can't help it. Oh, wow, look at that. Oh, that's another great

00:21:20 --> 00:21:24

point. Look at that. Look at that. He says I can't sleep. As soon as

00:21:24 --> 00:21:28

I start reading I find so many amazing things in the Quran that I

00:21:28 --> 00:21:30

can't see. And this is not just from him.

00:21:32 --> 00:21:36

Our good live normobaric one of the great modifiche Mujahideen

00:21:36 --> 00:21:40

mashallah fuqaha amazing individual Rahim Allah he says

00:21:40 --> 00:21:43

there was a person said to him, like why don't you sleep at night,

00:21:43 --> 00:21:46

he says that the wonders of Quran just take away my sleep. Just the

00:21:46 --> 00:21:50

way movies and Netflix do for us today. IG Supanova

00:21:51 --> 00:21:56

right? Is another one said, you know, I look at one astonishing

00:21:56 --> 00:21:58

idea. And I think okay, great, I'll sleep after he says no, then

00:21:58 --> 00:22:01

another one appears and I have to read that one, I have to focus on

00:22:01 --> 00:22:04

that one. That is the corner just start reading, you'll find your

00:22:04 --> 00:22:07

own. Believe me, you start reading the Quran will start reading,

00:22:08 --> 00:22:12

saying things to you directly. You can make it relevant to yourself.

00:22:12 --> 00:22:18

Because the way Allah has composed Allah speeches actually, is it

00:22:18 --> 00:22:22

it's alive, the Quran is alive with everybody. So when you read

00:22:22 --> 00:22:26

it, and when I read the same page, I'll get a different reaction to

00:22:26 --> 00:22:29

the realities of my life, whatever is going on in my life, I'll find

00:22:29 --> 00:22:32

something in there for the whatever is going on in your life,

00:22:32 --> 00:22:34

you will find something that is completely different for

00:22:34 --> 00:22:36

everybody. Okay, there are obviously certain things that are

00:22:36 --> 00:22:39

uniform across the board. But what you will get out of it may be very

00:22:39 --> 00:22:42

different from what I get out of it, it'll be an inspiration like

00:22:42 --> 00:22:42

that.

00:22:44 --> 00:22:48

The other thing is that the Quran is so concise, it's only so many

00:22:48 --> 00:22:51

pages, right? It's so concise, but the amount of meanings in the

00:22:51 --> 00:22:54

animal. I mean, everybody has agreed that the amount of meanings

00:22:54 --> 00:22:58

in the if anybody else was to try to convey those meanings, they

00:22:58 --> 00:23:02

would have produced the book like 10 times the size of wall. But

00:23:02 --> 00:23:05

what the Quran has been able to do is to

00:23:06 --> 00:23:11

literally put it all in such a beautifully carefully selected

00:23:11 --> 00:23:14

language, that it encompasses meanings, I know, these are all

00:23:14 --> 00:23:18

claims that I'm making. These are all claims that I'm making, you

00:23:18 --> 00:23:21

can agree with it or you can say, let me go and check it out. I

00:23:21 --> 00:23:24

would suggest you go and check this out. You just start reading a

00:23:24 --> 00:23:28

few pages then you will see when you start pondering how many

00:23:28 --> 00:23:29

things come out of it for you.

00:23:30 --> 00:23:35

It's one this will never end it's one this will never end. Now. We

00:23:35 --> 00:23:39

don't have too much time. But in the in the moments I have left, I

00:23:39 --> 00:23:44

want to just give you our open up one idea to you. And this is an

00:23:44 --> 00:23:48

amazing idea. Many of us here don't understand Arabic right?

00:23:48 --> 00:23:51

Don't understand the Quran. Is that correct? Yes. How many of you

00:23:51 --> 00:23:53

understand the Arabic How many of you understand Arabic?

00:23:55 --> 00:23:59

Okay, there's a very few like two three people, right? 234 people

00:23:59 --> 00:24:02

from the whole congregation fine. I'm not I'm not making you guilty.

00:24:02 --> 00:24:03

I'm just asking a question.

00:24:04 --> 00:24:08

Those of you majority here who don't understand Arabic, do you

00:24:08 --> 00:24:11

enjoy listening to the Quran even though you don't understand it?

00:24:12 --> 00:24:15

You put on different readers and so on so forth. Why do you enjoy

00:24:15 --> 00:24:19

listening to it? Is it that just because it's you know, your reason

00:24:19 --> 00:24:23

is just because it's from God? I know. It doesn't sound good, but

00:24:23 --> 00:24:25

I'm still gonna listen to is it that reason? Or does it actually

00:24:25 --> 00:24:29

sound good, even though you don't understand it? That's the reason

00:24:29 --> 00:24:31

right? For most people, they listen to it because it sounds

00:24:31 --> 00:24:34

good. Of course, it comes from Allah but you don't listen to it

00:24:34 --> 00:24:37

just for that reason. You listen to it, because yes, it's from

00:24:37 --> 00:24:40

Allah. But he actually you are amazed by the sound. You have no

00:24:40 --> 00:24:43

idea what he's saying. You might just pick up a few words, but you

00:24:43 --> 00:24:46

don't know what he's saying. But you enjoy listening to us. Now can

00:24:46 --> 00:24:49

you imagine for those people who understand the Quran

00:24:51 --> 00:24:54

with the meaning along with the enjoyment of listening, so you

00:24:54 --> 00:24:57

don't understand the Quran but you enjoy listening to can you imagine

00:24:57 --> 00:24:59

if you understood the meaning by reading one

00:25:00 --> 00:25:03

drive this point home, that we're missing something big, we're

00:25:03 --> 00:25:04

missing a really big idea here.

00:25:05 --> 00:25:09

Right? And I'm going to give you an example. You know, the Quran

00:25:09 --> 00:25:15

part of its part of its effective delivery is not just the words,

00:25:15 --> 00:25:19

it's chosen for the meaning, oh, this is such a carefully chosen

00:25:19 --> 00:25:24

word. No other word, this is a claim no other word in any verse

00:25:25 --> 00:25:28

could have been different and still portrayed the same idea.

00:25:28 --> 00:25:33

This is the absolute best option that Allah has provided to give

00:25:33 --> 00:25:36

those meanings. I could give you examples, but it'll take a long

00:25:36 --> 00:25:40

time, right? That you can't take any verse and say, let me say this

00:25:40 --> 00:25:44

way, I can say it in a shorter way, while still encompassing all

00:25:44 --> 00:25:46

of those meanings. You can't this is it.

00:25:48 --> 00:25:53

But not only is it that, this something, also the sound of it

00:25:53 --> 00:25:58

also helps the meaning. So where it's a stern message, the sound of

00:25:58 --> 00:25:59

it will sound Stern,

00:26:01 --> 00:26:06

where it's reflective, the sound of the verse, the words the

00:26:06 --> 00:26:12

endings will be reflective, where he wants to knock us a bit, the

00:26:12 --> 00:26:14

sound will create a knocking sounds.

00:26:16 --> 00:26:21

Okay, you know, you may have never thought about this. But the

00:26:21 --> 00:26:25

wording that's used is intended in harmony with the message to

00:26:25 --> 00:26:30

create. So So not only does the word give you an idea, not the

00:26:30 --> 00:26:33

choice of it, the placement or all of that gives you the choice of

00:26:33 --> 00:26:36

the word, the placement of the word, the order of the words, but

00:26:36 --> 00:26:41

also the sound of the words helps you to understand the message

00:26:41 --> 00:26:44

because it acts like a side thing. You know, for example, if there's

00:26:44 --> 00:26:48

an event, they usually add, I mean, in modern videography, they

00:26:48 --> 00:26:51

add, they make sure it's always moving, they add a bit of music,

00:26:51 --> 00:26:55

that light all of that helps to send the message. Otherwise it's a

00:26:55 --> 00:26:59

bit boring, they say, right? You understand? The Quran does this in

00:26:59 --> 00:27:03

such a beautiful way. And I'll give you an example. So now take

00:27:03 --> 00:27:07

one surah of the Quran surah al Qiyamah are we gonna be lurking in

00:27:07 --> 00:27:11

a shape on your regime? Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Now listen, learn

00:27:12 --> 00:27:13

Well, of course the movie in epsilon

Bell you Riedel in loony if Jura mama Yes, aloo a year and a young

00:27:35 --> 00:27:35

woman.

00:27:37 --> 00:27:41

What was what did you see was unique about these verses? What do

00:27:41 --> 00:27:42

you remember?

00:27:43 --> 00:27:45

That was similar in all of these verses?

00:27:48 --> 00:27:48

Did you hear that?

00:27:50 --> 00:27:55

At the end, the right you did that? You missed that did you? Now

00:27:55 --> 00:27:59

you know these first six verses. They're about one specific theme,

00:28:00 --> 00:28:04

the Day of Judgment, what's going to a few things about the day of

00:28:04 --> 00:28:08

judgment and how Allah has created the human beings and how Allah

00:28:08 --> 00:28:13

subhanaw taala is capability is to bring even back your fingerprints.

00:28:14 --> 00:28:17

So he talks about that then it changes theme to slightly

00:28:17 --> 00:28:22

different and the wording changes the sound changes and you for

00:28:22 --> 00:28:27

those who understand they will see that this matches the message. So

00:28:27 --> 00:28:31

the first message is like this really important serious messages

00:28:32 --> 00:28:38

to create to wake us up. Then after that Allah says fair either

00:28:38 --> 00:28:43

buddy, boss or what? husafell What do you what do you mean I Shem su

00:28:43 --> 00:28:51

00:28:57 --> 00:28:58

is in Bhima.

00:29:00 --> 00:29:05

What did you see as similar under the endings were our URL URL. So

00:29:05 --> 00:29:08

that creates that reflective attitude. I don't have time to

00:29:08 --> 00:29:11

give you the meaning and so on and so forth. But go and look at it

00:29:11 --> 00:29:16

yourself and see where the theme changes. The sound will change for

00:29:16 --> 00:29:21

example, versus the theme changes again. So look Belial ears, Nuala

00:33:48 --> 00:33:52

00:33:52 --> 00:33:52

because, you know,

00:33:54 --> 00:33:57

most children will need their parents support very few children

00:33:57 --> 00:34:00

00:34:00 --> 00:34:07

00:34:12 --> 00:34:16

00:34:31 --> 00:34:33

with Derawan and Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil aalameen.

00:34:35 --> 00:34:39

The point of a lecture is to encourage people to act to get

00:34:39 --> 00:34:44

further an inspiration and encouragement, persuasion. The

00:34:44 --> 00:34:48

next step is to actually start learning seriously to read books

00:34:48 --> 00:34:51

to take on a subject of Islam and to understand all the subjects of

00:34:51 --> 00:34:55

Islam at least at the basic level, so that we can become more aware

00:34:55 --> 00:34:59

of what our deen wants from us. And that's why we started Rayyan

00:34:59 --> 00:34:59

courses

00:35:00 --> 00:35:04

so that you can actually take organize lectures on demand

00:35:04 --> 00:35:07

whenever you have free time, especially, for example, the

00:35:07 --> 00:35:11

Islamic essentials course that we have on the Islamic essentials

00:35:11 --> 00:35:16

certificate which you take 20 Short modules and at the end of

00:35:16 --> 00:35:21

that inshallah you will have gotten the basics of most of the

00:35:21 --> 00:35:24

most important topics in Islam and you'll feel a lot more confident.

00:35:24 --> 00:35:26

You don't have to leave lectures behind you can continue to live,

00:35:27 --> 00:35:29

you know, to listen to lectures, but you need to have this more

00:35:29 --> 00:35:33

sustained study as well just like a law here in Santa Monica, to

00:35:33 --> 00:35:34
