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
