Fariq Naik – It is Unfortunate to read the Qur’an out getting its Message

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

			The Glorious Quran, it is the last
and final revelation of Allah
		

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

			subhanaw taala. Free Will the last
and final messenger, Prophet
		

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

			Muhammad peace be upon him. It is
the most positive book on the face
		

00:00:17 --> 00:00:18

			of the earth.
		

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

			It is a proclamation to humanity,
a fountain of Mercy and wisdom,
		

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

			a warning to the heedless, an
assurance to those in doubt, a
		

00:00:30 --> 00:00:36

			solid through suffering and a hope
to those in despair. How can all
		

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

			these benefits be derived from the
Glorious Quran without reading it
		

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

			without understanding it
		

00:00:43 --> 00:00:49

			Alhamdulillah the Glorious Quran,
it is the most widely read book on
		

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

			the face of the earth. But
unfortunately, it is the most
		

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

			widely read book that is read
without understanding. Because
		

00:00:59 --> 00:01:02

			majority of the Muslims they read
the Glorious Quran without
		

00:01:02 --> 00:01:06

			understanding the contact, the
touch that the Muslims, the
		

00:01:06 --> 00:01:10

			benefits or the Muslims derived
from the Glorious Quran. It does
		

00:01:10 --> 00:01:14

			decrease the touch of the Muslims
from the Glorious Quran. It has
		

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15

			declined.
		

00:01:17 --> 00:01:21

			What a tragic Miss Fortune for a
person who reads the Glorious
		

00:01:21 --> 00:01:27

			Quran and returns empty handed
heart and touched soul and moved
		

00:01:27 --> 00:01:30

			live and changed. What a tragic
Miss Fortune.
		

00:01:31 --> 00:01:35

			Allah subhanaw taala says no
Glorious Quran in surah Al Imran
		

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

			Chapter number three was from 110.
		

00:01:40 --> 00:01:44

			Going to Hydra OMA awkward is that
the last you are the best people
		

00:01:44 --> 00:01:48

			evolved for mankind. Allah
subhanaw taala is giving us an
		

00:01:48 --> 00:01:52

			honor by calling us Kira OMA that
is the best of people. Don't you
		

00:01:52 --> 00:01:56

			think we have responsibility? And
the answer is given in the same
		

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

			verse. Allah subhanaw taala says
that Morona Bill maruf whatever
		

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

			how not Anil Monica, but a biller
in joining what is white and
		

00:02:05 --> 00:02:08

			forbidding what is wrong and
believing in Allah.
		

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

			Allah subhanaw taala is giving us
an honor by calling a spider on ma
		

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

			that is the best of people,
because we should enjoy what is
		

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20

			right and forbid what is wrong.
		

00:02:21 --> 00:02:25

			Only if he enjoyed what is why and
if he forbid what is wrong, then
		

00:02:25 --> 00:02:29

			only we are fit to be called as
higher Oma. Then only we are fit
		

00:02:29 --> 00:02:33

			to be called as Muslims. Only if
you read the Glorious Quran with
		

00:02:33 --> 00:02:38

			understanding, then only we will
be able to enjoy what is right and
		

00:02:38 --> 00:02:41

			forbid what is wrong. The word
Quran is derived from the root
		

00:02:41 --> 00:02:46

			word Cara and also from the word
ekra. Which means to read, which
		

00:02:46 --> 00:02:50

			means to recite, which means
proclaim How can we proclaim the
		

00:02:50 --> 00:02:53

			message of a Creator Allah
subhanaw taala without reading the
		

00:02:53 --> 00:02:56

			Glorious Quran without
understanding it.
		

00:02:58 --> 00:03:02

			Another word for the word Quran is
for Pong, which means criterion to
		

00:03:02 --> 00:03:07

			judge between right and wrong. How
can we use the Quran as Furqan as
		

00:03:07 --> 00:03:11

			a criterion to judge between right
and wrong? Without understanding
		

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

			it?
		

00:03:13 --> 00:03:18

			Let's analyze what are the ways
excuses that people give for not
		

00:03:18 --> 00:03:20

			within the gloves Quran with
understanding
		

00:03:22 --> 00:03:28

			the most common excuses that we do
not know Arabic as language. If we
		

00:03:28 --> 00:03:33

			analyze the world population, it
is approximately 6 billion out of
		

00:03:33 --> 00:03:38

			which 20 to 25% are Muslims 1.3 to
1.5 billion.
		

00:03:40 --> 00:03:46

			Whereas only 15% of the Muslims
are Arabs. There are very few non
		

00:03:46 --> 00:03:51

			Arabs who understand Arabic as
language. So more than 80% on the
		

00:03:51 --> 00:03:54

			Muslims, they do not understand
Arabic as language.
		

00:03:56 --> 00:04:00

			So the best excuse me Muslims give
is we do not know Arabic as
		

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

			language.
		

00:04:02 --> 00:04:06

			When a human being is born, he
does not have any language. So the
		

00:04:06 --> 00:04:09

			child he initially learns his
mother tongue in order to
		

00:04:09 --> 00:04:13

			communicate with his family
members. Later on, he learns one
		

00:04:13 --> 00:04:17

			or two more languages in order to
communicate with the society
		

00:04:17 --> 00:04:21

			around him. On average, a human
being he at least knows two to
		

00:04:21 --> 00:04:24

			three languages. Some men are
three to five, some may be
		

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

			linguists, but on an average human
being he at least knows two to
		

00:04:29 --> 00:04:30

			three languages.
		

00:04:31 --> 00:04:34

			Don't you think? It's a
requirement to learn Arabic as
		

00:04:34 --> 00:04:38

			language in order to understand
the mystery of equate Allah
		

00:04:38 --> 00:04:39

			subhanaw taala
		

00:04:40 --> 00:04:43

			and I do agree that a language
learned during childhood it is
		

00:04:43 --> 00:04:47

			much easier, but age is not a
barrier for doing any good work.
		

00:04:47 --> 00:04:51

			And that reminds me the example of
Dr. Maurice McHale, Dr. Maurice
		

00:04:51 --> 00:04:55

			bouquet, you all might be knowing
he was a famous surgeon and
		

00:04:55 --> 00:04:59

			scientist who received the French
Academy Award in medicine
		

00:05:00 --> 00:05:04

			Tomorrow's Mikhail, he was
assigned to do a research on the
		

00:05:04 --> 00:05:08

			mummy of Menaka. That is a mummy
of Pharaoh and Dr. Maurice
		

00:05:08 --> 00:05:11

			bouquet, being a Christian, he
knew the background of feral that
		

00:05:11 --> 00:05:15

			Pharaoh followed Moses peace be
upon him, and most peace be upon
		

00:05:15 --> 00:05:18

			him split the sea and brought back
to normal and Pharaoh drown.
		

00:05:20 --> 00:05:23

			Later on Dr. Myles Boykin, he goes
to Saudi Arabia, and he was
		

00:05:23 --> 00:05:28

			shocked to know that the Glorious
Quran, which was revealed 1400
		

00:05:28 --> 00:05:32

			years ago, it talks about the
mummy of naptha, the mummy of
		

00:05:32 --> 00:05:36

			Pharaoh, that Almighty God will
preserve it as sign for humanity.
		

00:05:37 --> 00:05:40

			So this instigated Dr. Maurice
McHale, to read the translation of
		

00:05:40 --> 00:05:41

			the Glorious Quran
		

00:05:42 --> 00:05:46

			and at the age of 50, in order to
understand the Glorious Quran
		

00:05:46 --> 00:05:51

			better, he learned Arabic as
language. Imagine a non Muslim a
		

00:05:51 --> 00:05:54

			question at the age of 50. In
order to understand the Glorious
		

00:05:54 --> 00:05:57

			Quran better, he learns Arabic as
language.
		

00:05:58 --> 00:06:03

			And he said that the Glorious
Quran, it is imperfect conformity
		

00:06:03 --> 00:06:08

			with established modern science,
but unfortunately, the Bible it is
		

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

			not matching with science. And
after doing research, he wrote a
		

00:06:12 --> 00:06:16

			book, the Bible, the Quran and
science which became very famous.
		

00:06:18 --> 00:06:23

			The main point to be noted here is
that a non Muslim a question in
		

00:06:23 --> 00:06:26

			order to understand the Glorious
Quran better, he learns Arabic as
		

00:06:26 --> 00:06:30

			language. So the best excuse we
Muslims give is, we do not know
		

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

			Arabic as language. I would not
expect every Muslim to be as
		

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

			enthusiastic as of tomorrow's
bouquet. But even if we did not
		

00:06:40 --> 00:06:41

			know Arabic as language,
		

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45

			we should at least read the
translation of the Glorious Quran.
		

00:06:47 --> 00:06:50

			Maulana Abdul Majeed Delia Abadi
said that the Glorious Quran, it
		

00:06:50 --> 00:06:54

			is the most untranslatable book on
the face of the earth.
		

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

			Because the soul holy, it is so
pure, it is so noble. It is so
		

00:06:59 --> 00:07:04

			unsurpassable it is so
intelligible that it is very
		

00:07:04 --> 00:07:06

			difficult to translate the
Glorious Quran
		

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

			and it is impossible to translate
the Glorious Quran but yet the
		

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

			scholars plus spent years in the
Kate in doing research and have
		

00:07:15 --> 00:07:20

			translated the Glorious Quran,
though it is not 100% perfect as
		

00:07:20 --> 00:07:24

			it is human handiwork but if you
read a translation of the Glorious
		

00:07:24 --> 00:07:27

			Quran, you will get the basic
message of Islam
