The use of "naada" in Arabic writing is allowed, but it is not common in English or in transliteration. The suness of learning in Arabic language is the one of the earliest, and transliteration is a fundamental part of learning. The importance of teaching others the Quran and being aware of the many different ways the Quran is written is emphasized. The suness of learning is the one of the earliest, and transliteration is a fundamental part of learning.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			Alif. Do you see an alif in the
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:29
			Quran?
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			Do you see an alif there? Yeah.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			Where? There is a point in my
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			Yeah. Who sees an alif?
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			Where? Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr is very brave.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			Everybody else a few other people said that
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			we have seen it. And when I look
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			at you, I say where? He just do
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			something else. Abu Bakr is gonna tell us
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:49
			where.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			Maybe I have a Tajweed for Anwar.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			It's a little tiny one. But I think
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			everybody has that same tiny one. Everybody can
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			see that. Right?
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			This is not something that the Sahaba radiAllahu
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			ta'ala a'alum,
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			they wrote down. They didn't put that there.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			For the Quran was written in the beginning
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			with no dots and no vowels.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:10
			And they
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:11
			wrote the Quran,
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			just with the wordings.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			Something known
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			as the body of the words.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			Just mul kalimat.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			So, they wrote
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			masjid
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			or masajid, in this case, meem, sin, jeem,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:26
			dal.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			The alif after the jeem, you pronounce it,
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			you do not write it. You are not
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			allowed to write it.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			You have the name Abdulrahman
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			or Arrahmanir
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			Rahim and Fatiha.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			Arrahmanir Rahim. Right?
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			After the name. If you open Surat Al
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			Fatiha, that alif is not there. You find
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			a small one. The Sahaba didn't write that
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:46
			down.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			After it, you have a alif after the
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			name. The Sahaba did not write that down.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:51
			The Sahaba did not write that down. You
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:51
			have a alif after the name. The Sahaba
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			did not write that down. You can check
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			right now. It's not there.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			Bismillahir Rahmaalir Rahim.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			For those who know Arabic,
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			according to dictation in Imla,
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			meaning when I say when you write what
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			you hear,
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			what are you supposed to write down? If
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			I say to you write Bismi.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			What's the first letter?
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			Ba. Second one?
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			No. No.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:15
			Dictation.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:17
			Hamdulillassil.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			Ba, hamdulillassil.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			Seen
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:21
			and then?
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			And then meen.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:26
			The whole Quran doesn't even It's not there.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			You don't find that anywhere. It doesn't even
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:28
			follow that.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			Samah what? This word, how many alifs do
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			you hear?
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			2. 1 after the meen. And one after?
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			The waw. The whole Quran did not written
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:39
			down.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			Except for Surat Fussilat,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			you find the second one written down. And
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			the example I gave before that with Bismi,
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
			you find it in Surat Alaq irqara. Bismi
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			rabbikalladi
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			Khalaq.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:56
			Allah
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			subhanahu wa ta'ala says subhan, subhan. What do
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			you hear after the Alif.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			The entire Quran, there's no Alif written down,
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			except for the second place in Suratul Isla.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			Just like the Quran is wahi and revelation
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			from Allah in its recitation,
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			in its understanding,
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			then in its writing and scripture, it is
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			revelation also. Meaning, you can't write down the
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			Quran how you want to write it down.
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			You can't write the Quran down according to
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			dictation and imla. You can't say, subhan,
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			there's a alif when I pronounce it. Let's
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			write it down. No. You can't do that.
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			You can only write down the Quran, how
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			the Sahaba wrote the Quran. Just like you
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			recite the Quran, how they recited it. Just
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			like you understand the Quran,
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			how they understood it. Just like that, you
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			write it down how they wrote it.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:45
			And
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			you are not allowed
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			to write it down in the Arabic language
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			if it goes against how they wrote it
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			down. Does that make sense? Shall I repeat
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			it?
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00
			If it's in the Arabic language, but it
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			goes against how the sahaba wrote it. In
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			this case, I write the alif or subhan,
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			for example, because that's Arabic. But they didn't
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			do that. It's completely wrong.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12
			Taib. So is English a land then? Can
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			I write the Quran in transliteration?
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			If you can't write it down in Arabic,
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			samad, you can't write it down in Arabic.
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			If it goes against how the Sahaba wrote
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			it, can you write subhan, s u b
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25
			h a n a l l, like that?
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			Oh, Alla Hamdulillah a l h. You cannot
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:28
			do that.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			While the the scholars have completely agreed, there's
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			no mukhalif, there's a ijma'ah.
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36
			They agree, all of them, that you're not
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			allowed to write the Quran
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			in a language
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			outside the Arabic language. Not only that, if
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			it's in the Arabic language but it's against
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			how they wrote it, that's wrong too.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			You can't write the Quran in Latin.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			In other words, transliteration is not allowed.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			All of that was me just saying that
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			one statement. Transliteration
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:57
			is It's
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			not allowed.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			But here, transliterations are everywhere. They're in all
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			the masajid. You can buy them. They're in
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			bookshops. Everyone has it. We all had it.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:08
			Just because something's widespread doesn't mean it's right.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			Who said that?
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:11
			Sir,
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			it is transliterations, for example. In
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			Mecca, everywhere, and they even sell it. Does
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			that make it right? Does not make it
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			right. Who said that?
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			So transliteration is incorrect.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			Then the question comes, if transliteration is incorrect,
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			how do we learn the Quran then? How
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29
			do we teach someone?
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			Tajweed. Tajweed.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			How do we help someone with their recitation?
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			The answer is, there is a sunnah of
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			how you learn the Quran. And it is
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			the one of the earliest sunnahs ever, which
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43
			is you recite, the student listens, the student
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			recites, the teacher listens. Repeat like you said.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			If there's a mistake, the teacher corrects. If
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			there's no mistake, the teacher affirms. That's how
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			you learn the Quran.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:54
			And you ask yourselves a question. Someone who
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			doesn't know Arabic, who's a revert, for example,
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			or even if they're born Muslim, they just
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			don't know Arabic yet.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			You give them a transit iteration. They think
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			they are helping themselves,
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			but they are not learning to treat that
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			way.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			A l h, this h does not stand
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:09
			for
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:12
			The d h does not stand for bad.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			It does not. You are going to say,
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			like that. Like we find a lot of
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			people saying. They read to us back,
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			because he has a transliteration.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			And you tell him, drop it, we'll teach
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			you the proper way.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			They think this is the right way. So
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:30
			this is wrong.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			And imam Malik, ibn Anas,
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			the scholar from Madinah, he quotes the ijma'ah.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			If you want a reference, he quotes the
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			ijma'ah and he says the scholars have unanimously
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			agreed this. Not that it is
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			wrong to write it in a language outside
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			Arabic. He's saying the scholars have said you
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			can't write it in Arabic if it's outside
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:52
			the way the Sahaba wrote it. So ignore
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55
			Latin. Latin and other languages are gone outside
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			of the Romes. There's nothing out.
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			Tariq, continue.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			We can speak more about this, but we
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:02
			don't want to go completely
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			off the topic. But the point of this
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			now is
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			now you realize that the Quran has a
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			lot of ajab and miracles even in its
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			writing. And you are enslaved upon that. And
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			it shows just how
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			watertight your religion is.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			We know that this work We we know,
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			the people who have studied, that the entire
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:24
			Quran, samawat,
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			heavens, heavens, heavens, skies,
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			it has come many times. We know that
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			the whole Quran, it hasn't been written except
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			for surat, for I would tell you that
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			subhan hasn't been written in the whole Quran.
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			The Alif for it, except Suratul Isra. Bismid
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			Alif hamdulul Wasra has been written except for
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:42
			Suratul Alaq, and so on and so forth.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			This is how the Quran has been preserved.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			People know this off the top of their
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:46
			heads.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			So Allah
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			is looking after his Quran even in his
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			writing, even in the smallest thing. I told
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			you last week that the Quran comprises of
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:58
			114 surahs. And the surahs comprise of ayat,
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:01
			verses. These comprise of jumal,
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:04
			sentences. And those comprise of words. And then
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			you have letters. And then you have you
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:09
			have harakat, which is the smallest constitution.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			We know everything about it.
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:14
			This is the Quran and this is Islam.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			So
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			slowly slowly in the course, you will find
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			out different things. Continue.
