00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			A person may believe in the existence of
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			God because of a miracle, or they might
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			know that God exists because of a miracle
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:10
			that they experienced, a miracle that they experienced,
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			and the Qur'an is a living miracle.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:16
			There is no, it is, as the Prophet
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:20
			ﷺ said in a beautiful statement, he said
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			that every prophet that came before was given
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			a miracle through which people believed in him.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			Moses split the sea, and he obviously came
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			to the children of, he came to Egypt
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			with nine signs.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:36
			He came with nine signs, the blood and
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:40
			the locusts, and he said Jesus raised the
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			dead by Allah's permission.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			Prophets came with miracles, and the Prophet Muhammad
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			ﷺ, he says, what I have been given
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			is revelation.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			What I've been given is revelation.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			So he said, I hope to have the
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			largest number of followers on the day of
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			judgment.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:57
			My question for you is, how does his
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00
			statement of revelation, I've been given revelation, tie
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			to his wish that he has the largest
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			number of followers on the day of judgment?
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			I must have mentioned this here before.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			Subhan, do you remember that one?
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			Put you on the spot.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:15
			No, so I remember being like a kid
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			and thinking to myself, I wish that the
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was given like miracles that
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			are like big miracles, like Musa, like Solomon,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			like these.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:28
			And the Prophet ﷺ was given revelation.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			But then I came across this hadith later
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			on, and I was like, this is incredible.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			Because he said, what I've been given is
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			revelation, and I hope to have the largest
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			number of followers on the day of judgment.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			What's the relationship between the two statements?
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			I was given revelation, I hope to have
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			the largest number of followers on the day
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:42
			of judgment.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			Whoever gets this one right, you're going to
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			get this bouquet.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			I can't offer this because it's not mine.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:52
			I'm sorry.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			I can't offer it.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			You're supposed to back me up.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			You're going to be like, yes, and you
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			get free admission.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			That's what you're supposed to do.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:01
			Yes.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			Okay, so his revelation outlives his life.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:08
			So what does that mean?
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			It can reach more and more people.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			Okay, so the revelation reaches more people.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			So what does that mean?
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:14
			Yes.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			Everlasting miracle.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:16
			Yes.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:18
			Sir.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			You don't want it?
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			No, no, it's okay.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			It's okay.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			You'll take it.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			You did set him up.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			You gave him the aliyup and he just
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			came and he dunked it.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			It's an everlasting miracle.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			Every other prophet's miracles was limited to the
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			time and place of that miracle.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			If you missed Moses splitting the sea, then
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			it just became a story that you heard.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			You didn't witness it is the point.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			But the Quran is a miracle that every
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			generation witnesses.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			You open up the moshaf, you read it,
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			you experience the miracle.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:57
			And so because it was revelation, it actually
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:01
			encompasses every generation that has passed and that
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			will pass and experience the Quran.
