			Today, I would like to introduce you to
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:33
			a new technology, which is called the 3D
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:33
			printer.
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:48
			As-salamu
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			Bismillah wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:24
			Wa salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:31
			Alhamdulillahi wa barakatuh.
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:34
			We have the privilege of being the president
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:37
			of Jekyll and Hyde which is the sign
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:41
			of renowned speaker Dr. Zachary Blake.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:46
			Today, I want to take the opportunity to
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:47
			be delivered by him.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:55
			I think this is a very great opportunity
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:59
			for us to be in his presence and
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:01
			share in his sermon, inshallah.
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:07
			Let me be more focused on the sermon.
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:14
			And I want to introduce a little bit
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:17
			about our subject today.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:22
			The term of Sheikh Barek Naid became the
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			habit of the Qur'an at age 13
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:29
			and started publicly speaking at age 8.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:33
			By 15, he was the youngest speaker at
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:37
			the International Islamic Dialogue Conference in 2009.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:41
			Sheikh Barek holds a bachelor's degree in Sharia
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:45
			from Imam Muhammad Ibn Nusra University in Siberia
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:50
			and is completing his master's in field from
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:53
			the International Islamic University of Malaysia.
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:58
			He regularly appears on his TV hosting programs
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:04
			like Teen Star and Ask Sheikh Barek while
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:10
			actively assisting his mother in government activities worldwide.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:14
			Therefore, inshallah, today, let us all ask Sheikh
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:17
			Barek what the path that he will be
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:18
			delivering by him.
		
00:23:57 --> 00:24:01
			The importance of understanding the Glorious Qur'an.
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:05
			The Glorious Qur'an, it is the last
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:08
			and final revelation of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:11
			'ala, which was revealed to the last and
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			final messenger, Prophet Muhammad, may peace and blessings
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:14
			be upon him.
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:19
			The Glorious Qur'an, it is the most
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:20
			positive book in the world.
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:23
			It is a proclamation for humanity.
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:26
			It is a fountain of mercy and wisdom.
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:29
			It is a guide to the error, a
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:33
			solace to the suffering, an assurance to those
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:36
			in doubt and a hope to those in
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:36
			despair.
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:41
			How is it possible to derive all of
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:46
			these benefits of the Glorious Qur'an if
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:48
			we do not read the Glorious Qur'an
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:51
			with understanding, if we do not understand the
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			meaning of the Glorious Qur'an, if we
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:55
			do not implement on the message of the
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:56
			Glorious Qur'an?
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:02
			Alhamdulillah, the Glorious Qur'an, it is the
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:05
			most widely read book in the world.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:10
			But at the same time, unfortunately, the Glorious
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:13
			Qur'an, it is the most widely read
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:14
			book without understanding.
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:20
			Because of this, the benefit that the Muslims
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:23
			derive from the Glorious Qur'an, it has
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:23
			decreased.
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:27
			The touch, the contact of the Muslims with
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:30
			the Glorious Qur'an, it has declined.
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:36
			What a tragic misfortune for a person who
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:40
			comes to the Glorious Qur'an and returns
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:41
			empty handed.
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:47
			Heart untouched, soul unmoved, life unchanged.
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:49
			What a tragic misfortune.
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:55
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:58
			Glorious Qur'an, in Surah Ta'ala Imran,
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:00
			chapter number 3, verse number 110.
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:07
			كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ You are the
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:09
			best of people evolved for mankind.
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, He is giving
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:15
			us an honor by calling us Muslims as
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:16
			Khaira Ummah.
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:17
			That is the best of people.
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:22
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala continues and
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:27
			says, تَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَتُؤْمِنُونَ
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:30
			بِاللَّهِ Because you enjoin what is right and
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:32
			you forbid what is wrong and you believe
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:32
			in Allah.
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:37
			How can we enjoin what is right and
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:39
			forbid what is wrong if we do not
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:41
			read the Glorious Qur'an with understanding?
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			If we do not understand the meaning of
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:44
			the Glorious Qur'an.
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:49
			Therefore, if we want to enjoin what is
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			right and if we want to forbid what
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:54
			is wrong, we need to understand the message
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:55
			of the Glorious Qur'an.
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:57
			We need to read the Glorious Qur'an
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:58
			with understanding.
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:05
			What is the meaning of the word Qur
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:06
			'an?
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:08
			The word Qur'an, it comes from the
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:09
			root word Iqra, which means to read.
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:12
			It also means to recite and it also
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:13
			means to proclaim.
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:18
			How will we proclaim the message of the
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20
			glorious Qur'an if we do not understand
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22
			the message of the glorious Qur'an?
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:27
			Another word that is used for the glorious
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:31
			Qur'an or a title, it is Al
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:32
			-Furqan.
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:35
			The glorious Qur'an, it is called as
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:38
			the Furqan, the criterion to judge between right
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:38
			and wrong.
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:42
			How can we use the glorious Qur'an
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:45
			as a Furqan, as a criterion to judge
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:47
			between right and wrong if we do not
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:49
			understand the message of the glorious Qur'an?
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:54
			Therefore, it is very important that we understand
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:57
			the message of the glorious Qur'an.
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:59
			It is very important that we read the
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:01
			glorious Qur'an with understanding.
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:07
			There are various excuses given by the Muslims
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:10
			for not reading the glorious Qur'an.
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			And in fact, many give excuses for not
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:18
			reading the glorious Qur'an with understanding as
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:18
			well.
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:23
			The most common excuse given by many Muslims
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:25
			for not reading the glorious Qur'an is
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:27
			that we do not know Arabic as a
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:28
			language.
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:32
			The population of the world, it is approximately
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:37
			8 billion, out of which 25% of
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:41
			the world population are Muslims, at least 2
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:41
			billion.
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:46
			Out of these 2 billion, approximately 15%
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:47
			are Arabs.
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:50
			And there are very few non-Arabs who
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:51
			understand Arabic as a language.
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:58
			So, at least 80% of the Muslims,
		
00:28:58 --> 00:28:59
			they do not understand Arabic as a language.
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:03
			So the most common excuse given by the
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:05
			Muslims for not reading the glorious Qur'an
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:07
			or for not reading the glorious Qur'an
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:10
			with understanding is that they do not know
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:10
			Arabic as a language.
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:12
			This is the most common excuse.
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:14
			The Muslims, they say we do not know
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:16
			Arabic as a language, that is the reason
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:18
			they do not want to read the glorious
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:18
			Qur'an.
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:27
			And age is never a barrier in order
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:29
			to learn Arabic as a language.
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:32
			The best way to understand the glorious Qur
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:35
			'an is to learn Arabic as a language.
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:36
			And age is never a barrier.
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:40
			And that reminds me of the example of
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:41
			Dr. Morris Bukhail.
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:48
			And when a human being, he is born,
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:51
			initially he does not know any language.
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:56
			The first language that he learns, it is
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:58
			his mother tongue.
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:01
			And then later on, he learns the language
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:03
			of the society, of the community around him.
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:09
			Later on, he may learn the language in
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:09
			which he is educated.
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:14
			So almost all the human beings, they at
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:17
			least know 2 to 3 languages.
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:20
			Some may know 4 languages, some may know
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:23
			5 languages, some may be linguists, they may
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:24
			know 7 languages, some may know more than
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:25
			7 languages.
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:28
			But almost all human beings, they at least
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:30
			know 2 or 3 languages.
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:34
			Don't you think it is important that we
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:36
			know the language of our creator Allah subhanahu
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:36
			wa ta'ala?
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:39
			Don't you think it is important to learn
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:41
			Arabic as a language in order to understand
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:42
			the glorious Qur'an?
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:45
			And age is never a barrier.
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:47
			And that reminds me of the example of
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:48
			Dr. Morris Bukhail.
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:52
			Dr. Morris Bukhail, he was a famous surgeon
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:56
			and scientist who received the French Academy Award
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:58
			in the field of medicine.
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:03
			Now Dr. Morris Bukhail, he was chosen and
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:07
			he was selected to do a research on
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:09
			the mummy of Manapta, that is the mummy
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:09
			of Pharaoh.
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:13
			And he being a Christian, he read regarding
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:16
			the story of Pharaoh, regarding the story of
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:19
			Pharaoh, that Pharaoh followed Moses peace be upon
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:21
			him and Moses peace be upon him parted
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:23
			the sea and after Moses peace be upon
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:26
			him crossed the sea, Pharaoh and his army,
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:28
			they followed Moses peace be upon him, Musa
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:30
			alaihi salam and the sea returned back to
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:33
			its original position and Pharaoh and his army
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:33
			they drowned.
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:35
			So he was aware about this story, he
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:36
			had read it in the Bible.
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:39
			But when he went to Saudi Arabia, he
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:42
			was informed that it is mentioned in the
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:47
			glorious Qur'an regarding the story of Pharaoh
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:49
			and this is mentioned in the glorious Qur
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:51
			'an in Surah Yunus chapter number 10, verse
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:54
			number 92, that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:57
			he will preserve the body of Pharaoh, he
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:00
			will preserve the body of Pharaoh as a
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:01
			sign for the people.
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:05
			Dr. Morris Bukhail, he being a scientist, he
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:10
			was shocked that a book mentions regarding this
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:13
			1400 years ago that Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:16
			'ala will preserve the body of Pharaoh.
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:17
			He was shocked.
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:23
			And because of this, he was encouraged to
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:25
			read the translation of the glorious Qur'an.
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:27
			So he reads the translation of the glorious
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:30
			Qur'an and in order to understand the
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:34
			glorious Qur'an better, at the age of
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:36
			50, he learns Arabic as a language.
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:40
			Imagine a non-Muslim, a Christian at the
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:43
			age of 50 in order to understand the
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:46
			glorious Qur'an better, he learns Arabic as
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:46
			a language.
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:52
			And later on, he says regarding the glorious
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:55
			Qur'an that the scientific points that are
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:58
			mentioned in the glorious Qur'an, they are
		
00:32:58 --> 00:33:01
			in perfect conformity with modern science.
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:03
			And the things that are mentioned in the
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:07
			Bible, many of these things, they contradict or
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:09
			they are not in conformity with modern science.
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:12
			And later on, he writes a book, the
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:14
			Bible, the Qur'an and Science, and this
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:15
			book, it becomes very famous.
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:18
			The point to be noted here is that
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:21
			Dr. Morris Bukhail, being a non-Muslim, being
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:25
			a Christian at the age of 50, he
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:27
			learns Arabic as a language in order to
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:28
			understand the glorious Qur'an better.
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:32
			So age is never a barrier.
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:38
			I do agree that every Muslim will not
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:41
			be as enthusiastic as Dr. Morris Bukhail.
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:44
			But if you do not know Arabic as
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:46
			a language, you should at least read the
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:48
			translation of the glorious Qur'an in the
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:49
			language you understand the best.
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:54
			And Maulana Abdul Majid Daryabadi, he rightly says
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:57
			that the glorious Qur'an, it is the
		
00:33:57 --> 00:34:00
			most untranslatable book on the face of the
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:00
			earth.
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:04
			Because the eloquence of the glorious Qur'an,
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:06
			the language of the glorious Qur'an, it
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:09
			is so high that it is very difficult
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:11
			to translate the glorious Qur'an.
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:16
			Yet scholars have spent years in translating the
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:19
			glorious Qur'an into major languages of the
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:19
			world.
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:25
			Every translation, but naturally it is prone to
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:25
			error.
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:28
			It is translated by human.
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:31
			So there are bound to be errors in
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:32
			the translation.
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:36
			The Arabic text, the original Arabic text, it
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:37
			is the word of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:37
			'ala.
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:40
			So the best is to learn Arabic as
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:42
			a language in order to understand the glorious
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:43
			Qur'an.
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:44
			If you do not know Arabic as a
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:47
			language, you should at least read the translation
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:49
			of the glorious Qur'an in the language
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:52
			you understand the best so that you will
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:55
			at least have an idea of the basic
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:57
			message of the glorious Qur'an.
		
00:34:57 --> 00:35:02
			So unfortunately, Muslims, they give several excuses for
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:03
			not reading the glorious Qur'an.
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:08
			From among the other excuses that Muslims give
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:10
			for not reading the glorious Qur'an is
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:14
			the Muslims say that we are very busy.
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:19
			We are busy studying in universities, in schools,
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:19
			in colleges.
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:22
			We are busy with our jobs.
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:24
			We are busy with work.
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:27
			Therefore, we do not find time to read
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:28
			the glorious Qur'an.
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:31
			To read the glorious Qur'an with understanding.
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:38
			Several students, they spend years in order to
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:40
			achieve a degree, in order to be a
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:41
			graduate or a postgraduate.
		
00:35:43 --> 00:35:47
			And many a times, we know that these
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:49
			graduates and postgraduates, they are jobless.
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:52
			There are many graduates and postgraduates who do
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:52
			not have a job.
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:56
			So the knowledge that you acquire in this
		
00:35:56 --> 00:35:59
			world, the worldly knowledge, it may or may
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:00
			not benefit you in this world.
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:03
			And if it does not get you closer
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:05
			towards Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, then it
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:06
			is useless in the Akhira.
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:11
			So many people, many students, they want to
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:15
			spend years in memorizing books, in studying for
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:17
			worldly knowledge, but they do not have time
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:20
			to recite or to read the glorious Qur
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:20
			'an with understanding.
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:22
			It's a tragic misfortune.
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:26
			Abdullah Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:28
			that the one who recites the glorious Qur
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:30
			'an in less than three days, he has
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:31
			not understood it.
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:34
			So minimum three days is required in order
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:36
			to understand the glorious Qur'an.
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:41
			And if you recite or if you read
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:44
			one juz' a day, then it will take
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:45
			you 30 days in order to complete the
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:46
			glorious Qur'an.
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:50
			So we should see to that we find
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:52
			time and we should see to that on
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:54
			a daily basis, we read the glorious Qur
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:56
			'an with understanding.
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:58
			And if we read the glorious Qur'an
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:02
			with understanding, we will see a drastic change
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:03
			in our lives.
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:07
			We will find peace, tranquility and satisfaction in
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:08
			our lives.
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:12
			We will find ultimate happiness in our lives.
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:17
			So I would request all the brothers that
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:20
			make it a point that you take out
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:23
			some time, at least a few minutes daily
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:26
			in order to read the glorious Qur'an
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:29
			with understanding so that it will benefit you
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:31
			in this world as well as in the
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:31
			hereafter.
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:25
			There are other excuses as well that are
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:28
			given by Muslims for not reading the glorious
		
00:38:28 --> 00:38:28
			Qur'an.
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:33
			Many Muslims, they say that you know the
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:37
			glorious Qur'an, it is only meant for
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:37
			the alims.
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:39
			It is only meant for the scholars.
		
00:38:40 --> 00:38:42
			We as lay human beings cannot understand the
		
00:38:42 --> 00:38:44
			message of the glorious Qur'an.
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:46
			That's the reason they do not want to
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:47
			read the glorious Qur'an.
		
00:38:48 --> 00:38:49
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:52
			glorious Qur'an surah al-Qamar chapter 54,
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:54
			verse number 17, 22, 32 and 14.
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:02
			And we have made the glorious Qur'an
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:04
			easy to understand and remember.
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:07
			Then is there any that will receive admonition?
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:10
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has made the
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:13
			glorious Qur'an easy to understand and to
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:13
			remember.
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:18
			And if you do not understand anything from
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:20
			the glorious Qur'an, what does Allah subhanahu
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:20
			wa ta'ala says?
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:22
			What does Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala say?
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:24
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the
		
00:39:24 --> 00:39:26
			glorious Qur'an surah al-Nahl chapter 16,
		
00:39:26 --> 00:39:30
			verse number 43, فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِن كُنْتُمْ
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:31
			لَا تَعْلَمُونَ That if you do not know,
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:33
			ask the person who knows.
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:38
			So for example, if you want to ask
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:40
			something related to medicine, will you go to
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:41
			a cobbler?
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:42
			Will you go to a butcher?
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:45
			But naturally you will go to a doctor
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:47
			who is an expert in the field of
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:47
			medicine.
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:50
			If you want to know something regarding engineering,
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:52
			you will go to an engineer.
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:55
			Similarly, if you want to know something related
		
00:39:55 --> 00:39:58
			to the glorious Qur'an, regarding the tafsir
		
00:39:58 --> 00:40:00
			of the glorious Qur'an, you will go
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:00
			to a mufassir.
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:03
			You will go to a person who is
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:05
			an expert as far as tafsir is concerned.
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:10
			So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has made
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:13
			the glorious Qur'an easy to understand and
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:14
			to remember.
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:18
			But unfortunately, many Muslims do not want to
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:21
			take the effort of reading the glorious Qur
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:23
			'an, of understanding the meaning of the glorious
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:24
			Qur'an.
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:28
			And unfortunately, many Muslims, they sit on the
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:29
			glorious Qur'an like a cobra.
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:32
			They sit on the glorious Qur'an like
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:32
			a cobra.
		
00:40:33 --> 00:40:35
			Neither do they want to read it, neither
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:36
			do they want to give it to others.
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:41
			Many Muslims say that, you know, the non
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:43
			-Muslims should not be given the glorious Qur
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:43
			'an.
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:44
			And they quote the verse of the glorious
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:46
			Qur'an from Surah Al-Waqi'ah, chapter
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:48
			56, verse number 77 to 80.
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:53
			None shall touch it except those who are
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:53
			pure.
		
00:40:55 --> 00:41:01
			Unfortunately, many Muslims do not know the reason
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:02
			why this verse was revealed.
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:04
			And what is the context?
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:08
			The Quraysh, the kuffar at the time of
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:10
			our beloved Prophet Muhammad, may peace and blessings
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:13
			be upon him, they accused that the glorious
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:15
			Qur'an, the verse of the glorious Qur
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:17
			'an, they are from the Shaytan.
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:18
			They are from the devil.
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:21
			So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala revealed this
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:24
			verse, saying that none shall touch it except
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:25
			those who are pure.
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:27
			Referring to the verse of the glorious Qur
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:30
			'an, referring to the Lawham Mahfuz, which is
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:32
			with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, which is
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:33
			protected by the angels.
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:36
			And the cross-reference of this is mentioned
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:39
			in Surah Al-Buruj, chapter 85, verse number
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:40
			21 and 22.
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:46
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, بَلْ هُوَ
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:50
			قُرْآنٌ مَجِيدٌ فِي لَوْحٍ مَحْفُوظٌ Indeed, it is
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:53
			the glorious Qur'an, which is well preserved
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:54
			in Lawham Mahfuz.
		
00:41:54 --> 00:41:56
			So this verse of the glorious Qur'an,
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:59
			لا يَمَسُّوا إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَ It does not only
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:03
			refer to the bodily cleanliness, but it also
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:07
			refers to the spiritual cleanliness, the cleanliness of
		
00:42:07 --> 00:42:09
			the heart, the cleanliness of the body, the
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:11
			cleanliness of the soul, which refers to the
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:11
			angels.
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:14
			That none shall touch the Qur'an that
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:18
			is present in Lawham Mahfuz, except those who
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:20
			are pure, referring to the angels.
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:21
			The angels, they are pure, and they are
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:23
			protecting the glorious Qur'an.
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:25
			It does not refer to the normal Mus
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:26
			'haf that we have.
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:28
			If it was so, then any Muslim, any
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:32
			non-Muslim, could purchase a copy of the
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:34
			glorious Qur'an, and he would touch it,
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:35
			and the glorious Qur'an would have been
		
00:42:35 --> 00:42:36
			proved wrong.
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:38
			But it refers to Lawham Mahfuz, that is
		
00:42:38 --> 00:42:40
			well preserved with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:42:41 --> 00:42:43
			And our beloved Prophet Muhammad, may peace and
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:45
			blessings be upon him, he sent letters to
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:47
			various kings of the world.
		
00:42:48 --> 00:42:51
			For example, to Nagis of Abyssinia, and to
		
00:42:51 --> 00:42:54
			the Emperor of Persia, to Heraclius, and several
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:55
			others.
		
00:42:55 --> 00:42:58
			And on these letters, verses of the glorious
		
00:42:58 --> 00:42:59
			Qur'an were written in Arabic.
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:02
			Many of the kings, they tore these letters,
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:04
			they trampled it underneath their feet.
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:11
			So we should see that we share the
		
00:43:11 --> 00:43:14
			message of Islam with the non-Muslims.
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:16
			Give the non-Muslims a copy of the
		
00:43:16 --> 00:43:18
			glorious Qur'an, because the glorious Qur'an
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:20
			is a guidance for the whole of humanity.
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:23
			As it is mentioned in several places in
		
00:43:23 --> 00:43:24
			the glorious Qur'an, Surah Al-Ibrahim chapter
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:26
			14, verse number 1, in Surah Al-Baqarah
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:28
			chapter 2, verse number 185, as well as
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:29
			in Surah Az-Zumar chapter number 39.
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:31
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says that the
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:34
			glorious Qur'an, it is meant for the
		
00:43:34 --> 00:43:35
			whole of humanity.
		
00:43:35 --> 00:43:37
			It is a guidance for the whole of
		
00:43:37 --> 00:43:38
			humanity.
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:40
			So I request all the brothers that see
		
00:43:40 --> 00:43:42
			to it, that we read the glorious Qur

00:45:57 --> 00:46:00
			I say this, and I ask Allah to
		
00:46:00 --> 00:46:02

00:46:05 --> 00:46:06
			Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:07
			Glory, above what they describe.
		
00:46:08 --> 00:46:10
			And peace be upon the messengers.
		
00:46:10 --> 00:46:12
			And the last of our supplications is that
		
00:46:12 --> 00:46:13
			all praise be to Allah, Lord of the
		
00:46:13 --> 00:46:13
			worlds.
		
00:46:13 --> 00:46:15
			And stand up for your prayer, may Allah
		
00:46:15 --> 00:46:16
			have mercy on you.
