00:01:24 --> 00:01:24
			Before,
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			we start the the class,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			I just want to
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			ask Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, that he accepts
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			all of our fasting, all of our prayers,
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			all of our good deeds in the month
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			of Ramadan.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			Before,
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			Ramadan,
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:44
			we did the tafsir of Surah Al Qadr.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			That was the last surah that we did
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			before
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			Ramadan actually came in. And
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			today inshallah we're going to be starting the
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			tafsir
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			of Surah Alaq.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			The tafsir of Surah Alaq.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:57
			And
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			because it's the first surah which was revealed
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			to the messenger of Allah Alaihi Surah Alahu
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			Wa Salam and because it has a a
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			you know a a sub of a nozul,
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			it has a reason why it was revealed
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			in the sense that there's,
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			there's a story behind its revelation and how
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			the revelation came to the messenger of Allah
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			I wanted to
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			take my time with this Surah and not
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			rush into it and give like a basic
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			tafsirah. I wanted to go into,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			a lot of detail.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			So, inshallah, in this
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			tafsirah class, today we're gonna just be going
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			through the first 5 aya's
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			of Surah Alaq.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			And from those first five ayahs, we're going
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:40
			to be
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			initially talking about
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			how the revelation came, the first revelation, how
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			it came to the messenger of Allah
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			in this Surah
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			he
		
00:02:59 --> 00:02:59
			mentions
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			many different
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:03
			points.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			And from the things that he mentions in
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			this Surah
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			which has two names by the way. It's
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			known as
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			because sometimes
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			Surah's are mentioned by the first aya.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			And this is,
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			mentioned in in books of hadith for example,
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			in certain Surah's. That certain Surah's were mentioned
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			by the prophet
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			himself with the first aya.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			Likewise, this Surah, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala he'll
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			say
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			and it would be known
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			as Another name of the surah is Surat
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41
			Al Aalak. And it's a Maqi Surah which
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			means it was revealed before the hijrah of
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			the the messenger of Allah Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48
			And it's a Surah which has 19 aya's
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:48
			altogether.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			A Surah which has 19 aya's.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:55
			And the placement of this Surah in the
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:55
			Quran
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			is after Surahteen
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			and before
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			Surat Al Qadr.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			And we mentioned there's there's a wisdom behind
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			the placement of the Suras in the Quran.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			And why Suras are arranged in the way
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			that they arranged in the Quran.
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			And from the reasons why it comes after
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			the Surah that it comes after, Surah Teen,
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			is according to some of the scholars
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23
			because in Surah Teen Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			he says
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			He says we have certainly created man in
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			the best in the best of stature, meaning
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:33
			in the best of forms.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			And in this Surah Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			he says
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he has created man
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:45
			from al alak. And alak is a clot.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			Okay. Or a clinging substance.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			Okay. It's when the when the blood comes
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:51
			together.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			It's a it's a mass of coagulated blood.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			So the scholars they say in the in
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			the surah before
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			Surah Alaq, Surah Toutine,
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:04
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala talks about
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			the form and the image of the human
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			being and how it's been created in the
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			best of forms.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			And in this Surah, Allah
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:14
			says
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			that man was created from a clinging substance,
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			from a clot.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23
			And it's showing that man's origin came from
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			an alaq.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			So in Suratin, it's talking about the outward
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:29
			appearance. And in Sura Alaq, it's talking about
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			the appearance and the the way the human
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:33
			being came about
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37
			from a clot from a clot of blood.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			So the origin of the human being. And
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			this is why it's, you know, one of
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			the reasons why it's come after Surat Al
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:47
			Thin. And the surah after Surat Al, Alak
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			is Surah Al Qadr. And we mentioned when
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			we talk about Surah
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			Alaq comes before Surah Alaq because Surah Alaq
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			is talking about the beginning of revelation.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			And
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			Surah Qadr
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala talks about
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			when the Quran was revealed.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:11
			In
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			the night of Qadr.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			So this is why this surah comes where
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			it comes in the Quran.
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			What does this surah specifically talk about? And
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			remember we're only going to be talking about
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26
			the beginning of revelation in this lesson Insha'Allah.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			We only gonna be talking about the whole
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			incident about how the revelation came to the
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:32
			messenger of Allah alaihi salatu wa salam and
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:35
			what actually happened because we're talking about this
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:36
			first surah which was revealed to the messenger
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			of Allah alaihi salam. So in the first
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			five ayat that we're going to be
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			sort of covering today and also next lesson
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:43
			insha'Allah,
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			in these first five ayahs of the Surah,
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:49
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala talks about the importance
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			of reading and the importance of learning. And
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			how Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the one
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			who is the ultimate creator
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:58
			of man and everything that he knows.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			Everything which he knows, everything which he learnt,
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			it's a creation of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			The intellect of the human being and everything
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07
			he has learnt. And that the human being
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			was created with no knowledge.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			When he was born he was born without
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			any knowledge. He knew nothing.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			There was no knowledge that he had and
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:20
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala was the one who
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			gave him the knowledge that he has. And
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			how Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the one
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			who teaches man whatever it is that he
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:28
			knows. If it wasn't for Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			ta'ala, we wouldn't be able to learn and
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			know things that we know today whether it's
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			with regards to Islam or with regards to
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			other sciences and, you know, worldly sciences.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:38
			And
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			this Surah which was the first Surah which
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			was revealed,
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			some people think it was the whole Surah
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			which was revealed to the messenger of Allah
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			SWA. But in fact
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			it's broken down into 2 parts. It's split
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:54
			into 2. The first 5 ayahs were the
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
			ayahs which were revealed
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59
			in the first revelation to the messenger of
		
00:07:59 --> 00:07:59
			Allah SWAWSALAM.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			The rest of it
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			was with regards to an incident which took
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			place between the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			wa sallam and Abu Jahal.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11
			So the first five ayahs were the ayahs
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			which were revealed first. The rest of the
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:16
			surah was revealed at a later date, at
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			a at another time.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			And as I mentioned, we're gonna be talking
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			about how the revelation
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			came to the messenger of Allah alayhi salatu
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			wa sallam. Alim Al Kathir
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27
			Rahimahullah,
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			he talks about the beginning of prophethood of
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi salam and
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			the first of the Quran which was revealed.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			And he mentions a hadith of Aisha radhiallahu
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40
			anha which is recorded in Bukhari and Muslim
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			where she says
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:43
			talking about the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			wa sallam, talking about the revelation that came
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:46
			to him.
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			She says and as we're going through this
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:51
			narration, we'll talk about benefits from it insha'Allah.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			She says that the first thing that began
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:57
			happening with the messenger of Allah alaihi salatu
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			wassalam from the revelation
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			was dreams that he would see in his
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:02
			sleep
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:06
			that would come true. So before the revelation
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			even came to him, before
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			had even happened, before this first revelation had
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			even come to him, before his
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			he would go to sleep
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			and he would see certain dreams.
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			And then when he would wake up those
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			dreams would actually take place
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:23
			in real life.
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27
			Ayesha Radiullah Anash she said he would not
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			see any dream except that it would come
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:32
			true just like the clearness of the daybreak
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33
			in the morning.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34
			That's how vividly
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			and clear those dreams came true for the
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			messenger of Allah Subhana.
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:40
			And
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			it's said that this started to happen 6
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:44
			months before revelation.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			So 6 months before this surah even came,
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			before Iqra Bismir Abi khalab was revealed to
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasalam, he
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:54
			was seeing he was having dreams and those
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			dreams were coming true in real life. They
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			were actually happening. They were actually come true.
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			And
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			also from the things which took place
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:04
			is that
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			this is before the first revelation.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:11
			Things inanimate objects would give salam to him.
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:12
			So for example
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			there would be rocks which would give salam
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:15
			to him
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:18
			Or trees or other things would give salam
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			to him. And
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			it's
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:22
			mentioned
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			in some books of Hadith at the Messenger
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:25
			of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he said
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:29
			that I still remember a specific rock
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			which would give salaam to me. I still
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:33
			remember that rock.
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			And if I was where the rock was
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			I could point that rock out to you.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:41
			So these rocks and you know other things,
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:44
			other inanimate objects would actually give salaam to
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			the messenger of Allah alaihi wa sallam. And
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			he would look around. He wouldn't see any
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			people. There'd be nobody around. There would be
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			these rocks and other things giving salaam to
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			the messenger of Allah So
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:57
			these were happening even before revelation came to
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:58
			him, 6 months before.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:02
			Now why were these things happening to him?
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			What was the benefit of having these things
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:07
			happen? Why would the inanimate objects give salam
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			to him? Why would he have dreams
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:10
			that would actually come true?
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			Why do why would these things happen? And
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:17
			the scholars, they say that these things happened
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			as
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:21
			a means of preparing the messenger of Allah
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22
			Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			for the revelation when it comes to him.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			So there's some type of spiritual
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:32
			mental preparation to what's going to take place
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:35
			because revelation isn't something small. It's not something
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			easy. As Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			we're going to send down to you. We're
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			going to give you a heavy word.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			So the revelation when he would come to
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:46
			him, it would actually be very difficult for
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:47
			the prophet to
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			to bear the revelation when he would come
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			from the angel Jibreel alayhi sallam.
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			So it was to prepare him for the
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			revelation when he would eventually come to him.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			Aisha radiallahu anha,
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			she says that then
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:04
			seclusion became beloved to him.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			So he would go out. He would go
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			away from the city. He would go out
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:09
			of the city of Makkah,
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:10
			and
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:13
			he would go away from the idol worship
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			and from the shirk and from the politicians
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:18
			that the that the people of Quraish would
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:18
			actually practice
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			in the city around the Kaaba and so
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:22
			on and so forth
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			To to get away from this, to avoid
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:26
			this, to stay away from this, he would
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			go actually out of the city. So he
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			would go like, you know, where you could
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:31
			say the countryside.
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			And, like, sometimes we get busy and we
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:36
			get tired of, like, you know the the
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:38
			urban lifestyle and you know
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			you know this busy lifestyle that we have
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:42
			in the city. We won't go to the
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			countryside and relax and take it easy. You
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			know? So the messenger of Allah SWAWSAWALAM,
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:48
			he would go out
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			away from the city and he would go
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			to the cave of Hera.
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:55
			The cave of Hera. And the cave of
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:58
			Hera is on the mountain known as the
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:00
			mountain of light Jabal Noor. And it's known
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:03
			as Jabal Noor
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			because Quran was revealed
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07
			on this mountain.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:09
			So it was only known as Jabal ul
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:12
			Noor after the revelation actually came to the
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			messenger of Allah SWAW. So Jabal ul Noor
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			is the mountain in which the Ghar, the
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:19
			cave of hira is actually in. And when
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:20
			we think of caves, you know when we
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			think of caves and the cave of hara,
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			we think it's going to be a big
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:27
			cave or a spacious cave. But in fact
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			the cave of hara is a cave which
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:30
			is very small. It's more like
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34
			a nook or a crevice. It's not something
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			which is very big.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37
			In fact, it's said that if a person
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			was to go there, there's only space for
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:40
			1 person,
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			just about. And even it said that when
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			if you were to go in and you
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:46
			were to sit down,
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:49
			because of the tightness of the space, because
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			there's not that much space, a person would
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:53
			have to sit in a certain direction. And
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55
			that direction just happens to be direction
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:57
			towards the Kaaba.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:13:59
			And also he said that if you sit
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:02
			there, you can actually see the Kaaba directly.
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			If you sit there, you can actually see
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			from the place where you sit. You can
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:09
			see the Kaaba itself directly. So subhanAllah, it
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			was like a perfect spot for a person
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			to sit and to, you know, contemplate
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			and to devote oneself to worship.
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			So the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			sallam, he would go to the cave of
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:23
			Harrah which was on Jabal An Nur and
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			he would devote himself to worship there for
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:27
			a number of nights. And he would bring
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:29
			provisions with him for that. So he would
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			take water and he would take, you know,
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:34
			some items of food with him. And then
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:37
			Ayesha radiAllahu anha she says that he would
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			after his provisions would finish, he would go
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:42
			back to Khadija radiAllahu anha to his wife
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:44
			and he would
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:45
			restock,
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:48
			you know, take more water and more food
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:50
			for a similar number of nights and then
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:51
			he would go back.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:54
			So he would go there regularly and he
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			would contemplate
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			and do his own types of worship.
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:01
			And Aisha radiAllahu anha she says discontinued
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:05
			until the revelation suddenly came to him while
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:06
			he was in the cave of Herah.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:10
			And she says that the angel came to
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			him while he was in the cave.
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:14
			And this is the
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			angel Jibreel alayhi salaam.
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:17
			And
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:20
			the messenger of Allah sallam, he described the
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:21
			angel
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:24
			Jibreel. And he said that the angel Jibreel
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27
			had 600 wings.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			600 wings. And the angel Jibreel
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:33
			covered the heavens and the earth. And he
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:35
			said wherever I looked all I could see
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:36
			was
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			the angel. All I could see was Jibreel
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:39
			alayhi salam.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			So it shows you the sheer size
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:44
			of this angel, SubhanAllah.
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			And it said that the the messenger of
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:50
			Allah, SAW, only saw the angel, Jibril, in
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52
			his true form twice.
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:53
			1st, in this
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:57
			case, in the first revelation, and secondly, when
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			he went on the journey of,
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			on the night journey, Alisaw Al Miraj. And
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:03
			when he went into the heavens, he saw
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			Jibreel Alai Salam in his
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			So the angel Jibreel alaihi salam came to
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			him. And you can imagine, SubhanAllah, you know,
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:13
			you've the angel is there in all his
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:16
			might and glory, 600 wings filling up the
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:17
			heavens and the earth.
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18
			And
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			the angel as you all know says to
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:24
			read.
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27
			And the messenger of Allah sallam was someone
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:29
			who couldn't read. He wasn't able to read.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:30
			So he said
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:33
			he said I am not one who reads.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			I can't read. I'm unable to read.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			And when we talk about reading and the
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:41
			word Iqra itself in the Arabic language,
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43
			it can mean one of 2 things. It
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:44
			can mean either reading
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:45
			from something
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:47
			from an, you know, from a tablet or
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:49
			from a book or from a, you know,
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			a piece of paper or it can mean
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			reading from memory.
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:56
			So obviously the angel Jibreel alaihi salam never
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:58
			had anything with him. So he was just
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:59
			saying
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:01
			read. This is why for example when, you
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:04
			know, when you test children with the Quran
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:06
			you say and they read by heart. Okay.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			They're still reading but it's a different type
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			of reading. It's a reading which they are
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			reading from memory. They're not reading by looking.
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:13
			So
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:17
			the angel said Iqurah. The messenger of Allah
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:20
			wasalam wasn't able to read. So he said
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			he said I'm not able to read.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			And then the messenger of Allah SWALLAM
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:29
			he said so the angel seized me and
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:32
			pressed me until I could no longer bear
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:32
			it.
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:36
			So the angel came, seized me and pressed
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:39
			me and squeezed me until I know I
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			could no longer bear it. And then he
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:44
			released me and said for a second time,
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:45
			Read.
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:46
			So I
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:47
			replied,
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50
			I am not one who reads. 2nd a
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:51
			second time.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:54
			And so he said that the angel again
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:56
			pressed me a second time until I could
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			no longer bear it.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			And then he released me again.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			And then for a third time he said
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:09
			He said read in the name of your
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11
			lord who has created you until he reached
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:12
			the
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:17
			So the first 5 ayahs
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			of Suratul Al Aq, of which
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			shows you that it was just these first
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:26
			ayahs, first 5 ayahs which were revealed to
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:27
			the messenger of Allah
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:30
			Now you can imagine
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:33
			the the the the situation the messenger of
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:36
			Allah alayhi salam is in and what's happening
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:36
			to him
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:37
			and how
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:40
			vivid this all must be for him. And
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:41
			the question
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:43
			that we can ask
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:44
			is why
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:47
			did the angel Jibreel alaihis
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:50
			salam squeeze the messenger of Allah sasoolam?
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:53
			What was the benefit in squeezing the messenger
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:55
			of Allah alaihis salatu wa sasoolam? Because obviously
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			the angel knew that he wasn't able to
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			read. And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala knew that
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			he wasn't able to read.
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:05
			So what was the benefit in squeezing him?
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:08
			Why did the angel Jibreel alaihis salam squeeze
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam?
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:12
			And the scholars, they mention a number of
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:14
			reasons. First of all, they say
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:17
			that one of the reasons why he was
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:20
			squeezed is because if he wasn't squeezed
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:24
			and there was no contact,
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			he would have gone home and he would
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:28
			have gone to sleep and he would have
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			woke up the next and what would he
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:31
			have thought the next morning?
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:34
			He would yeah. He would he would have
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:35
			thought it must have been a dream.
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			You know when someone says this feels like
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:39
			a dream, pinch me.
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:42
			Because it feels like a dream. It doesn't
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			feel real to me. And so when you
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:45
			pinch them they know it's not a dream
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:46
			anymore.
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:47
			So likewise
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			when the angel squeeze the messenger of Allah
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:50
			SWAWSALAM,
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			now he knows this is something real.
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			It's not a dream. This is actually happening.
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			It's actually taking place. You know SubhanAllah, you
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:02
			know sometimes you can imagine he's in the
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			middle of nowhere. He's in the countryside. It's
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:05
			dark. He's on his own.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			And you just imagine if something happens to
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:09
			you like this.
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:10
			Imagine if some kind of InshaAllah
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:12
			this won't happen but if a jinn or
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:14
			something comes to you and causes you some
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:15
			harm.
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:18
			Imagine how frightened we would be, how scared
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:19
			we would be. You know we think we're
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:20
			going crazy.
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:24
			SubhanAllah. And this shows you the bravery of
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:25
			the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:28
			That he was able to sit there, respond
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			to this to this thing that he's seeing.
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:31
			He doesn't know what it is.
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			You know and he's he's staying there. He's
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:34
			still there. SubhanAllah.
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:37
			So the scholars, they say one of the
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:39
			reasons is to let him know he isn't
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41
			dreaming, that this is actually taking place. This
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42
			is real.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:44
			Another thing they say with regards to why
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:47
			he was squeezed and the wisdom behind it
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:50
			is to let him know that what's being
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:51
			revealed to him is important
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:55
			and he needs to pay attention to it.
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:58
			So that's why he squeeze him really hard
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:00
			to make him realize and make him pay
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			attention and make him you know
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			know that whatever is going to be given
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:06
			to him is going to be something serious.
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			That yeah Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam what
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			you're going to be given isn't something you
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			should take lightly.
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			We're going to give you a heavy word.
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:17
			And this is why when revelation would come
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			to him after this, you know, it would
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:21
			be hard for him to bear. He will
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23
			start to sweat. It would be very difficult
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			for him. Even on a cold night, if
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:26
			revelation came to him, he will still be
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			sweating because of its severity. If he was
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:31
			on a riding beast and Revelation came to
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:32
			him, he was on a camel, the camel
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			wouldn't be able to walk.
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:35
			It would just kneel down. He wouldn't be
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:37
			able to walk anymore. He wouldn't be able
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:38
			to even stand
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:41
			because of the severity and the,
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:44
			you know, the the the heaviness of the
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			words of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So the
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			first reason is because he they want to
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:49
			let him know he wasn't dreaming. Allah wants
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51
			to let him know he wasn't dreaming. Secondly,
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:54
			because they want him to Allah wants him
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:54
			to know
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:57
			that what's being revealed to him is important
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:59
			and it should be paid attention to and
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:00
			he needs to take it seriously.
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:02
			Another thing that some of the scholars say
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			and Allah knows best is that he was
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:07
			squeezed 3 times to indicate he will face
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:08
			3 big trials
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:10
			in his life.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			And these big trials, as some of the
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:14
			scholars they say, are the boycott which took
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:17
			place while he was in Makkah, the hijrah,
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			and the assassination attempt as he was fleeing
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:21
			Makkah and going to making his way to
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:22
			Madinah,
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:23
			and thirdly,
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:25
			the battle of Uhud
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:27
			where the Muslims inflicted,
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:28
			a loss.
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:30
			And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala knows best. So
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:33
			this is why the angel Jibril squeezed the
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:34
			messenger of Allah Subhanahu Wa Salam. This is
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			the wisdom behind it.
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:39
			So after this happened and these these ayahs
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:41
			were revealed to the messenger of Allah sallallahu
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:42
			alaihi wa sallam, he returned
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:43
			home
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:47
			with his heart trembling, as Aisha radiAllahu anha
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:49
			says. She says he returned home with those
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:51
			ayaats, with those first 5 ayaats, and his
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:52
			heart was trembling
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			until he came home to Khadija radiAllahu anha
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57
			and he said the famous words,
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01
			wrap me up. Wrap me up.
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:02
			And
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05
			Khadija wrapped him up until his fear went
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:08
			away. And after that he told Khadr radiAllahu
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			anha everything which happened. And he said
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:11
			he
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:14
			said I fear that something may happen to
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:15
			me
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:17
			because he doesn't know what took place. He
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:18
			doesn't know what happened. He doesn't know this
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			is an angel giving him revelation now. He
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			has no idea. He doesn't know what's going
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:25
			on. Okay. So you know obviously if something
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			like this happens to us, we think something
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:28
			bad is bad is going to happen to
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:31
			us. Something may harm us. You know some
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34
			something from out of this world is coming
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:36
			and is squeezing us. It's causing harm to
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:38
			us. Maybe we don't have long left. So
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:40
			he says, I fear something may happen to
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			me. So Khadija Radiallahu Anha she says,
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:50
			She says, never by Allah, Allah will never
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:53
			disgrace you. You keep good relations with your
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:53
			relatives.
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56
			You speak the truth. You help the poor
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:59
			and the destitute. You serve your guests generously.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:02
			And you help the deserving, the calamity of
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:03
			lifted people. SubhanAllah.
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:05
			So even
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:06
			before
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:10
			prophethood and even before
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			the message of Islam is spread to other
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:16
			people and to the world, Khadija radiAllahu anha
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			is telling us the
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:19
			personality
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:21
			and the characteristics of the messenger
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:23
			SubhanAllah.
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:26
			You know. How he was to his people.
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:28
			How he was good to his guests. How
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:29
			he kept good relations
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:32
			with his relatives. He visited them. You know.
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:33
			He was good to them. He was close
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			to them. He always spoke the truth. This
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:36
			is even before Islam SubhanAllah.
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39
			You know. So people who say for example
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			that he was doing these things for other
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:42
			means, for other purposes,
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:44
			you know, it shows that
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:45
			he
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:49
			was someone who had these
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:51
			traits,
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:54
			these good traits even before Islam.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			You know even before he was a prophet
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			of Islam. You helped the poor and the
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:01
			destitute. He was someone who was generous with
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03
			his guests. He was someone who would help
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:06
			those who were afflicted, those who suffered from
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:07
			calamities, SubhanAllah.
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:09
			So Khadija radiAllahu anha,
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:12
			you know, is telling us the character of
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14
			the prophet shalallahu alaihi wa sallam even before
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
			Islam. And also this shows us the status
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:17
			of Khadija radiAllahu anha.
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:19
			You know the
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:21
			wife of the messenger of Allah alaihi salatu
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:24
			wa sallam, how supportive she was in this
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26
			time of difficulty when the messenger of Allah
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:27
			alaihi salatu wa sallam has no idea what's
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:29
			happening and he's scared and he's afraid.
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:32
			And it shows you how comforting Khadija radiallahu
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:34
			anha was to her husband.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:36
			Khadija radiaallahu anha
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:39
			on top of this not only does she
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:41
			do this but on top of this she
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:41
			goes
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:44
			with the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:48
			sallam to her cousin Waraka, Waraka ibn Nafar.
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:52
			And he was someone who became a Christian.
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:53
			And
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:54
			he
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:55
			would
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:59
			write the scripture, the Injeel, okay, the Christian
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			scriptures. He would write them from Hebrew into
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:04
			Arabic. So he would
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:07
			you know, translate the the the Injeel, the
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:10
			Christian scriptures from the Hebrew language into the
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			Arabic language as much as Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:14
			ta'ala willed him to write. And then
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:16
			he became old. So at this moment in
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:17
			time, he was
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:20
			lost his eyesight. He wasn't able to see
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:22
			properly. In fact he had lost his eyesight
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:24
			completely. Khadija radiallahu anha, she went to him
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			and she said, oh my cousin,
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			listen to the story of your nephew.
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:29
			And
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34
			he said, oh my nephew, what have you
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:35
			seen?
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:38
			And so the messenger of Allah sallam described
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:40
			what he saw. And when Waraqa heard this,
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:41
			he said, this
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:43
			is An Namuz.
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:46
			Meaning this thing that came to you is
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:47
			An Namuz
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:50
			whom Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala had sent to
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:51
			Musa.
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:54
			So Anamuz is basically one of the words
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56
			that they used in the in the previous
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:59
			scriptures to describe Jibril alayhi salaam. And he
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:01
			says this is Anamuz, the angel, the same
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:02
			angel
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:04
			whom Allah had sent to Musa.
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:07
			And then he says I wish I was
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:09
			young and could live until the time when
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:11
			your people would drive you out.
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:14
			And so Allah's messenger
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:15
			says because at the time he was in
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			Makkah he wasn't going anywhere. He was living
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			in complete safety and security. He was one
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			of the most, you know, honor honored people
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:23
			in the in the city of Makkah from
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			the greatest and most respected tribes. So he
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:26
			couldn't even imagine that they're gonna throw him
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:28
			out and they're gonna drive him out of
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:28
			his hometown.
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:30
			So he said,
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:34
			He said, will they drive me out?
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:38
			And Waraqah replied, and he said, yes. Anyone
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:41
			who came with something similar to what you
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:41
			have brought
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:43
			was treated with hostility
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			and with enmity and with hatred. And if
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:49
			I should remain alive until that day, I
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:52
			would firmly support you. But Waraqa Aaysa Rdullahu
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:53
			Waanahi says Waraqa
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			did not remain. He died and the revelation
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:59
			paused until the messenger of Allah SWAMI became
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:01
			sad according to what we're told. So he
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:02
			died even before the prophet
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:05
			actually became a messenger.
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:08
			Okay. So with this Surah, Surah Ikora Bismarabik
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:09
			Khaliq,
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:11
			the messenger of
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12
			Allah became a prophet.
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:14
			They say that
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:20
			he became a prophet with Iqra Bismir Abi
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:20
			Khalaq
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:24
			and he became a messenger with the Surah
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:25
			Oh
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:27
			you who is wrapped
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:29
			up, stand up and
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:32
			meaning warn them of the day of judgement.
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:35
			So he wasn't yet a messenger.
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:37
			Now according to some of the scholars
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:40
			they talk about Waraqa bin Naufal.
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:43
			And some of the scholars, they say Waraqa
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:45
			bin Naufal in fact was the first man
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:47
			to accept Islam.
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:50
			And this is before,
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:51
			you know
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:53
			Abu Bakr radiAllahu
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:55
			anhu,
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:56
			Waraka.
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:59
			His name was Waraka. So they say Waraka
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:03
			was the first person to accept Islam because
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:05
			obviously the messenger of Allah SWAs salam, as
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:07
			soon as this incident happened to him, he
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:10
			went straight home and Khadija radiallahu anha took
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:12
			him straight to Waraqah. And what does Waraqah
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:15
			say? He says if I should remain alive
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:18
			till the day when they drive you out,
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:18
			I would firmly
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:20
			support you,
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:22
			which shows that he believed in what was
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:24
			coming down to the messenger of Allah alayhi
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:25
			wa sallam. And this is why some of
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:27
			the scholars, they say, you know,
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:31
			there's some difference of opinion. But Sheikh Uthaimin
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:31
			Rahimahullah
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:34
			and Sheikh Salaf Hussain, for example, they say
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:36
			that he was a companion.
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:39
			And a person should say radiAllahu an if,
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:42
			the name of Warqa ibn Nawfa radiAllahu an
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:42
			is mentioned.
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:43
			So
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:46
			after this took place,
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:49
			the revelation
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:50
			paused,
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:52
			and nothing happened
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:56
			for, you know, a period of time. Okay.
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:58
			So, for a number of months, no revelation
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:01
			came down after this initial
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:02
			contact between
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:05
			the angel and the messenger of Allah SWA.
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:07
			And this first revelation which was given to
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:08
			the messenger of Allah SWA.
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:09
			And
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:10
			Ayatollahu
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:12
			Anha, she says that
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:17
			the revelation paused until Allah's messenger became sad.
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:19
			So he was upset. He didn't know what
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			was going on. He didn't know what's happening.
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:22
			And
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:25
			due to this grief due to this grief
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:26
			and this sadness,
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:29
			he set out a number of times with
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:31
			the intent of throwing himself from the mountain
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:32
			tops.
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:34
			Okay. Because he didn't know what's going on.
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:36
			He has no idea what's happening, and he
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:39
			doesn't know if this if what's happening to
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:41
			him is something, you know, something else, something
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:43
			harmful, or something bad.
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:46
			And Aashidullah Anashi says, however, every time he
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:48
			would reach the peak of a mountain to
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			throw himself from it,
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:52
			Jibreel alayhi salam would appear to him and
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:55
			say, oh, Muhammad, you are truly the messenger
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:57
			of Allah. And therefore his worry would be
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:59
			eased and his soul would be settled and
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:01
			he would return down from the mountain. And
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:03
			then when the revolution did not come again
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:05
			for a long time, he set out as
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:07
			he had done before. He would go up
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:09
			at the mountain again and Jibreel alaihis salam
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:11
			would appear to him again and say what
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:12
			he said beforehand.
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:15
			So this is
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:16
			the story
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:20
			of the first the Badul Wahi, the first
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:20
			revelation
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:24
			which was given and sent down from Allah
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:26
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to the messenger of Allah
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:27
			alaihi salawasala.
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:29
			And,
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:32
			you know, it's a long narration of Ayahu
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:35
			alaihiallahu anha, but there's many benefits that we
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:36
			can take
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:39
			from this incident. And from the lessons that
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:40
			we can take
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:44
			is that even before Islam the messenger of
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:46
			Allah alayhi salatu wa sallam was someone who
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:49
			wasn't into worshipping idols and never worshipped idols
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:51
			and wasn't involved in shirk and polytheism.
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:54
			In fact he would go to great lengths
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:55
			to avoid
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:58
			the city and the
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:01
			the idol worship of his people so much
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:02
			so that he would leave the city of
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:04
			Mecca and he would go into the mountains
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:06
			and meditate on his own. SubhanAllah.
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:08
			Which shows you that he wasn't someone who
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:10
			was into this idol worship. And there was
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:13
			only a number of few people and small
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:15
			number of people, a handful of people who
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:17
			it said never worshipped any idols.
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:20
			Bakr radiAllahu an was another of them. He
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:22
			in his life, he never ever bowed or
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:24
			prostrated to any idol just like the messenger
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:26
			of Allah alaihi salatu wa sallam.
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:27
			Also it shows you
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:30
			this hadith and this story, this incident shows
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:31
			you
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:34
			the preparation which the messenger of Allah SWAW
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:35
			was given
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:38
			before he actually became a prophet
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:41
			and how it's something which was so it's
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:44
			something which is so serious. It's something which
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:46
			is so heavy and so important that he
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:47
			was given
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:51
			revelation or he was given signs even 6
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:52
			months before
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:54
			revelation actually came to him
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:56
			by signs such as the rocks and other
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:59
			inanimate objects giving him salaam, you know, such
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:02
			as him having dreams and then those dreams
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:03
			actually coming true.
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:04
			And,
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:07
			also, it shows you the status of the
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:09
			angel Jibreel alaihi salaam.
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:11
			The fact that out of all the angels,
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:14
			it was the angel Jibreel alaihi salaam which
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:16
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala whom Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:18
			ta'ala chose to come down and give the
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:20
			revelation to the messenger of Allah alaihi wa
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:20
			sallam.
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:22
			And it shows you his status in his
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:24
			Maqam. And the fact that he is from
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:26
			the greatest of the angels and the fact
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:28
			that he has 600 wings.
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:30
			And just thinking of that just thinking of
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:32
			the angel itself
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:35
			and an image of, you know,
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:39
			a a a creation made of light filling
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:41
			up the horizon, filling up the heavens and
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:44
			the earth is something which, subhanAllah, you know,
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:45
			if we were to see it we would
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:46
			be totally amazed.
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:49
			And this is why the messenger of Allah
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:52
			he said that when I saw the angel
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:52
			Jibril
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:56
			in the night journey when he went into
		
00:33:56 --> 00:33:58
			the into the heavens, he said I saw
		
00:33:58 --> 00:33:59
			the angel Jibril
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:01
			with 600 wings,
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:04
			and pearls and rubies were dripping from his
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:05
			wings.
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:07
			Like in this world, you know, with birds,
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:11
			water will drip from their wings. But in
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:13
			Jannah, when he went on his journey, he
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:15
			said I saw the angel Jibreel and pearls
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:18
			and rubies and corals were dripping from his
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:19
			wings. SubhanAllah.
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:21
			And you can only imagine the sheer and
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:24
			immense beauty of the angels of Allah Subhanahu
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:26
			wa ta'ala. And we ask Allah that we're
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:27
			able to see those angels on the day
		
00:34:27 --> 00:34:28
			of judgement insha'Allah.
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:31
			And also from the benefits
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:32
			that we have
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:34
			from
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:35
			this
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:38
			story is the relationship
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:40
			of Khadija Radiallahu Anha, the wife of the
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:42
			messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, with
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:43
			her husband
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:44
			and how supportive
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:46
			she was of
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:50
			him in this time of difficulty, in this
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:52
			time of great stress for the messenger of
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:54
			Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. You know? And
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:56
			it shows how close they were and how
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:57
			supportive she was.
		
00:34:58 --> 00:34:59
			So
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:01
			this is
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:02
			the beginning
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:04
			of Revelation.
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:07
			This is Badul Wahi.
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:10
			And the very first ayah which was revealed
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:12
			was ikhora bismirabikaladdikalak.
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:16
			Read in the name
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:19
			of your lord. Recite in the name of
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:21
			your lord who created.
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:25
			And we mentioned that with regards to the
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:26
			word
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:29
			then it has two meanings.
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:32
			Can mean when someone reads from something, from
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:33
			a piece of paper, from a book, so
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:35
			on and so forth. And the second meaning
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:37
			of is for a person to read from
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:39
			memory. And this is what's meant and this
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:40
			is what's
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:43
			alluded to in this ayah, in this in
		
00:35:43 --> 00:35:45
			this specific ayah, in this case. Okay. Because
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:47
			there was nothing which the which the angel
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:47
			had.
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:50
			Okay. He was telling him to read from
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:52
			memory and then that's why the angel said
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:55
			and
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:11
			it was revealed
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:14
			and it was sent down and it was
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:15
			given to us
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:17
			in meaning
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:18
			and also
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:21
			in the words which were given to the
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:22
			messenger of Allah salAllahu alayhi wa sallam. It
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:24
			was given in meaning and also it was
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:27
			given to us literally. Exactly how it was
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:29
			given to the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:30
			wa sallam. Okay. Because
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:33
			the angel Jibreel alaihi wa sallam is saying
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:33
			what?
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:34
			Read.
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:36
			And then he's saying read
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:39
			Bismiram Bikal Adi Khalaq. Read in the name
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:42
			of your Lord who created you. So you
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:44
			would think that the messenger of Allah sallallahu
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:46
			sallam would say Bismiram Bikal Adi Khalaq.
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:04
			Those things which he has been told to
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:05
			say. So why is he saying
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:07
			also? Why is he saying say?
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:10
			Because he's the one who's been told.
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:14
			Because it shows us the detail in which
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:16
			the Quran was sent down and was, you
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:17
			know, spread
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:20
			from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to the messenger
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:21
			of Allah as salam to the rest of
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:22
			mankind.
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:25
			That even these words were recorded and there's
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:28
			benefit in them. And there's a reason why
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:29
			they were mentioned.
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:31
			Because even for us we are there. We're
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:34
			testifying and we're declaring that Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:37
			Ta'ala is 1. And you know the Quran
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:38
			has been preserved
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:41
			in meaning and also in words and literally.
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:42
			It's been preserved in every single
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:43
			aspect.
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:46
			So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:49
			Recite
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:52
			in the name of your lord who created
		
00:37:52 --> 00:37:52
			you.
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:54
			And
		
00:37:54 --> 00:37:57
			this is why whenever we recite the Quran,
		
00:37:57 --> 00:37:59
			we say Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim.
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:02
			Okay. Because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is telling
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:02
			us
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:05
			recite in the name of your lord who
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:07
			created you. So whenever a person recites the
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:09
			Quran, Yahweh says before he starts a new
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:10
			surah
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:12
			Also
		
00:38:13 --> 00:38:15
			it shows us the importance
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:17
			of knowledge
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:20
			and the importance of reading. And InshaAllah next
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:22
			lesson we're going to talk about the
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:26
			importance of knowledge and the importance of reading
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:27
			and the importance
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:29
			of studying and the importance of writing in
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:30
			Islam.
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:32
			Okay. And one of the main
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:35
			things which show us the importance of knowledge
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:37
			and learning is the Surah and it's this
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:39
			ayah because Allah says
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:43
			Read and recite in the name of your
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:44
			lord. SubhanAllah.
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:47
			So it really shows us the importance of
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:50
			reading, the importance of knowledge, the importance of
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:53
			learning especially when it comes to Islamic knowledge,
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:55
			especially when it comes to Islam.
		
00:38:55 --> 00:38:58
			Because if a person doesn't have Islam,
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:01
			if he doesn't learn about his faith, then
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:03
			with regards to the dunya, he's not going
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:04
			to achieve,
		
00:39:05 --> 00:39:05
			success,
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:08
			real success.
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:11
			And this is why the the Muslims initially
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:13
			when they were
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:16
			strong with regards to their Islam
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:20
			then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala blessed them with
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:21
			regards to this world and this dunya.
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:25
			But when people will forget Islam and forget
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:28
			about learning about their religion and learning about
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:29
			their faith, then Allah
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:32
			wouldn't make them successful in this dunya. And
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:34
			this is why, subhanAllah, you see the first
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:36
			few 100 years of Islam,
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:38
			You know, the things that took place and
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:40
			the things that happened in the first few
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:43
			100 years of Islam was greater than what
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:44
			happened after that,
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:47
			you know, because they paid so much attention
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:48
			to Islam
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:51
			and the importance of knowledge, Islamic knowledge specifically.
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:56
			Recite, read in the name of your lord.
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:57
			So inshallah,
		
00:39:58 --> 00:40:01
			we're going to stop here. And next week,
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:02
			we'll go through and we'll talk about the
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:06
			first in more detail the first 5 ayaats
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:08
			that were revealed to the messenger of Allah,
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:08
			Alaihi, SAWSAWA,
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:12
			and whatever Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, wills for
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:14
			us to be able to to do in
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:16
			the next lesson. If there's any questions, then
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:18
			I'll do my best to answer them.
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:45
			Number of reasons.
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:47
			First of all, because
		
00:40:47 --> 00:40:49
			certain things were made visible to the messenger
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:51
			of Allah, SAWSAW, that other people couldn't see.
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:53
			So sometimes
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:55
			certain things would happen
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:58
			and revelation when revelation would come to him,
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:00
			he would be able to see it, but
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:02
			others wouldn't be able to see.
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:03
			And, also,
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:06
			one could also make the argument that because
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:07
			he was in the countryside,
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:09
			because he was somewhere way outside of the
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:12
			city, nobody else could see it. Nobody else
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:13
			could see but took place.
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:15
			But this is something which, you know, as
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:18
			Muslims, we we believe in. You know? We
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:20
			believe that the angel came to the messenger
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:22
			of Allah SWA. Revelation was given to him.
		
00:41:22 --> 00:41:24
			It's not something which, you know, he made
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:27
			up himself. It's something which we family believe
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:28
			actually took place, and it's part of our
		
00:41:28 --> 00:41:29
			faith. You know? Part
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:32
			any all the pillars of iman
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:34
			that we have, all the 6 pillars of
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:37
			iman are all things which you can't see.
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:40
			You know like Allah Subhan we can't see
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:42
			Allah Azzawajal but we believe in him. You
		
00:41:42 --> 00:41:43
			know we can't see the angels but we
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:46
			believe in the angels. We never saw the
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:47
			books being revealed to the prophets
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:49
			but we believe in all of them. We
		
00:41:49 --> 00:41:52
			believe that the Quran is revelation from Allah.
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:54
			We can't see it. We believe that they
		
00:41:54 --> 00:41:55
			were prophets. We never saw the prophets.
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:58
			Okay. The companions maybe saw the prophets and
		
00:41:58 --> 00:41:58
			messengers
		
00:41:59 --> 00:41:59
			and previous,
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:02
			you know, the disciples and the followers of
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:04
			the prophets but they had
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:06
			it was a a a matter of faith,
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:08
			believing that they were prophets and messengers. I
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:10
			think there's so many things in the form
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:11
			of a man.
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:13
			Yeah. So so the angel would take different
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:15
			forms. Form only a student.
		
00:42:16 --> 00:42:17
			Yeah. That's right.
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:20
			Yeah. So sometimes he will come in the
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:20
			form of a man.
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:25
			Yeah. So he will come in different forms.
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:26
			And for example as I was mentioning the
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:28
			pillars of Iman even the last day, the
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:30
			day of judgement it's not something that we
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:31
			see but we believe in it, you know.
		
00:42:31 --> 00:42:32
			And also Qadr,
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:35
			the last pillar of of iman is something
		
00:42:35 --> 00:42:37
			we don't see. So the angel would come
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:39
			in different forms as the brother mentioned as
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:40
			well. Sometimes he would come in the form
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:41
			of man. Sometimes he would come in the
		
00:42:41 --> 00:42:43
			form in his true form. He would come
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:43
			in different forms.
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:04
			Yes. The Quran isn't
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:06
			in the order
		
00:43:07 --> 00:43:08
			that he was revealed in.
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:12
			Okay. So it's it's in a different order.
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:15
			So for example, the first Surah Surah Fatihah,
		
00:43:16 --> 00:43:18
			the reason why it's the first Surah in
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:20
			the Quran is because it's the greatest Surah
		
00:43:20 --> 00:43:21
			of the Quran.
		
00:43:22 --> 00:43:23
			Yeah. So the prophet
		
00:43:23 --> 00:43:26
			said that the the greatest Surah is
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:30
			Yeah. And the fact that
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:33
			every single ayah in any part of the
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:33
			Quran,
		
00:43:34 --> 00:43:36
			any ayah, any verse in the Quran
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:38
			always goes back to one of the ayahs
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:40
			in Surah Fatiha.
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:42
			Okay. And also that's why the scholars say
		
00:43:42 --> 00:43:43
			that Surafatiha,
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:45
			if somebody was to
		
00:43:45 --> 00:43:46
			was to try to
		
00:43:47 --> 00:43:50
			learn what the Quran basically talks about, you
		
00:43:50 --> 00:43:51
			should read Surafatiha.
		
00:43:52 --> 00:43:54
			Because it it gives you a whole summary
		
00:43:54 --> 00:43:56
			of the whole of the Quran. It's like
		
00:43:56 --> 00:43:57
			an introduction to the Quran.
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:00
			Sorry.
		
00:44:17 --> 00:44:18
			Yeah.
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:20
			Yeah.
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:22
			Yeah.
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:24
			That's true. You know, a person might be
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:25
			able to see and the blind person might
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:27
			be able to see better than the one
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:28
			who can see. Yeah. No.
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:44
			Yeah. So the messenger of the will actually
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:45
			tell them.
		
00:44:45 --> 00:44:47
			So he would say this has been revealed
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:49
			or this should go here,
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:51
			and this this eye should go here so
		
00:44:51 --> 00:44:53
			he would, you know, point to where it
		
00:44:53 --> 00:44:54
			should be,
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:57
			where it should be placed. And obviously, it
		
00:44:57 --> 00:44:59
			was revelation. You know, he wasn't he couldn't
		
00:44:59 --> 00:45:01
			read, but it was revelation telling him, you
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:04
			know, is Wahi telling him where those ayaas
		
00:45:04 --> 00:45:05
			should go specifically
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:06
			in those surahs.
		
00:45:08 --> 00:45:09
			Yeah.
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:11
			Yeah. So in surahs, if if a surah
		
00:45:11 --> 00:45:12
			was,
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:14
			not revealed altogether
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:18
			and certain certain aya's revealed later, then he
		
00:45:18 --> 00:45:19
			would tell them. He would tell them this
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:21
			aya goes here and this aya goes here
		
00:45:21 --> 00:45:22
			and these sets of aya's go here. So
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:26
			In this salah, we have to follow
		
00:45:26 --> 00:45:28
			the right place, pray, and so
		
00:45:35 --> 00:45:37
			No. I mean, just the the prophet, he
		
00:45:37 --> 00:45:38
			whenever he would
