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.
