Fariq Naik – The Quraan [31-34] does not Speak about Sex Determination

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

The Qur'an says that only Allah knows

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

the * of the child in the womb

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

of the mother But now science has advanced

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

and we can easily determine the * of

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

the child in the womb by ultrasonography Isn't

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

this verse of the Qur'an conflicting with

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16

science?

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala says in the glorious

00:00:18 --> 00:00:19

Qur'an in surah al-luqman chapter number

00:00:19 --> 00:00:23

31, verse number 34 Inna allaha indahu ilmus

00:00:23 --> 00:00:29

sa'ah And Allah knows regarding the hour

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

and he knows when it will rain and

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

he knows what is in the womb Allah

00:00:33 --> 00:00:34

subhanahu wa'ta'ala also says in the glorious

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36

Qur'an surah al-ra'd chapter number 13,

00:00:37 --> 00:00:46

verse number 8 Allah knows what

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

is in the womb So these two verses

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

of the glorious Qur'an they talk about

00:00:54 --> 00:00:55

What is in the womb?

00:00:57 --> 00:01:00

And today after science has advanced we know

00:01:00 --> 00:01:03

that with the help of ultrasonography when the

00:01:03 --> 00:01:06

child is in the womb We can come

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

to know regarding the gender or the *

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

of the child and I am aware that

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

certain Translations or certain commentators or translators of

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

the glorious Qur'an when they translate these

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

two words of the glorious Qur'an They

00:01:18 --> 00:01:22

translate it that Allah knows the gender or

00:01:22 --> 00:01:25

the * of the child Unfortunately, this is

00:01:25 --> 00:01:28

a mistranslation the corresponding word for * or

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

gender in Arabic It is jinns or al

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

jinns and in these two words of the

00:01:32 --> 00:01:35

glorious Qur'an the word al jinns or

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

jinns.

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

It is not mentioned What does it mean?

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

when Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala says that Allah

00:01:41 --> 00:01:44

knows what is in the womb and We

00:01:44 --> 00:01:47

find that many Translators and commentators the mistranslated

00:01:47 --> 00:01:50

and we find especially in the Urdu commentaries

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

So what does it mean when Allah subhanahu

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

wa'ta'ala says that he knows what is

00:01:54 --> 00:01:54

in the womb?

00:01:55 --> 00:01:58

It means that Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala knows

00:01:58 --> 00:02:00

what the child will become when he grows

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

up Will he be a bane for society?

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

Will he be a boon for society?

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

Will he be a good human being?

00:02:05 --> 00:02:06

Will he be a bad human being?

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

Will he?

00:02:08 --> 00:02:10

Become a robber for example already become a

00:02:10 --> 00:02:13

doctor Will he be a blessing for his

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

parents or will he be a curse for

00:02:15 --> 00:02:15

his parents?

00:02:16 --> 00:02:18

Will he be a righteous human being or

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

will he be a wicked human being?

00:02:21 --> 00:02:24

all of this knowledge is known precisely by

00:02:24 --> 00:02:27

Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala as Allah subhanahu wa'ta

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

'ala he is all-knowing and No scientist

00:02:29 --> 00:02:34

nor any doctor With the best equipment can

00:02:34 --> 00:02:35

predict all of this precisely.

00:02:36 --> 00:02:40

This knowledge is in the Hands of Allah

00:02:40 --> 00:02:46

subhanahu wa'ta'ala alone and No worse of

00:02:46 --> 00:02:51

the glorious Quran will ever conflict with Established

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

modern science the glorious Quran.

00:02:54 --> 00:02:58

It is far superior as compared to modern

00:02:59 --> 00:03:03

Science and There are several scientific facts that

00:03:03 --> 00:03:05

I mentioned the glorious Quran which science has

00:03:05 --> 00:03:08

discovered it recently a few years back hundred

00:03:08 --> 00:03:11

years back 200 years back 300 years back

00:03:11 --> 00:03:13

the glorious Quran is mentioned at 1400 years

00:03:13 --> 00:03:16

ago, and I've given a talk on The

00:03:16 --> 00:03:19

topic Quran and modern science compatible and incompatible

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21

which talks regarding the scientific facts that I

00:03:21 --> 00:03:24

mentioned the glorious Quran 1400 years ago this

00:03:24 --> 00:03:27

was The time that we had for the

00:03:27 --> 00:03:30

life question-answer session and in conclusion I

00:03:30 --> 00:03:33

would again like to pray for our Palestinian

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35

brother and sisters that may Allah subhanahu wa'ta

00:03:35 --> 00:03:39

'ala Keep them steadfast and may Allah subhanahu

00:03:39 --> 00:03:42

wa'ta'ala reward them for the struggle and

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44

the striving that they are going through and

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46

may Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala admit those who

00:03:46 --> 00:03:49

have passed away into Jannatul Firdaus into the

00:03:49 --> 00:03:53

gardens of paradise and Our Palestinian brothers and

00:03:53 --> 00:03:57

sisters You should always remember that the victory

00:03:57 --> 00:03:59

of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala it is near

00:03:59 --> 00:04:02

and you are the chosen people Allah subhanahu

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

wa'ta'ala has chosen you that to stand

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

up against oppression and Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09

has chosen from among the Palestinian brother and

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

sisters That these are the blessed human beings

00:04:13 --> 00:04:16

who will be granted with martyrdom We know

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

the story of Umar r.a that he

00:04:18 --> 00:04:21

wished for martyrdom and he prayed for martyrdom

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

and he wanted martyrdom in Medina Imagine in

00:04:24 --> 00:04:25

Medina.

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27

They were all Muslim during his caliphate, but

00:04:27 --> 00:04:30

Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala made it possible and

00:04:30 --> 00:04:35

he was killed in Medina during the Salah

00:04:36 --> 00:04:38

So it is a great honor to be

00:04:38 --> 00:04:40

a martyr in the sake for the sake

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42

of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala And this is

00:04:42 --> 00:04:45

a great honor for those Palestinian brother and

00:04:45 --> 00:04:48

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

sake of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala our Palestinian

00:04:50 --> 00:04:53

brother and sisters They are the true heroes

00:04:53 --> 00:04:57

00:04:57 --> 00:05:01

and brave to stand up against oppression several

00:05:01 --> 00:05:04

of these Palestinian brother and sisters even though

00:05:04 --> 00:05:06

their houses are destroyed yet They are saying

00:05:06 --> 00:05:09

that we will remain in this land and

00:05:09 --> 00:05:16

they have strong hope that Palestine it will

00:05:16 --> 00:05:20

be free one day insha'Allah I would

00:05:20 --> 00:05:22

like to end the life question and answer
