Jamal Abdinasir – Origins of the Quranic Arabic Recital Revival

Alif. Do you see an alif in the

Quran?

Do you see an alif there? Yeah.

Where? There is a point in my

Yeah. Who sees an alif?

Where? Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr is very brave.

Everybody else a few other people said that

we have seen it. And when I look

at you, I say where? He just do

something else. Abu Bakr is gonna tell us

where.

Maybe I have a Tajweed for Anwar.

It's a little tiny one. But I think

everybody has that same tiny one. Everybody can

see that. Right?

This is not something that the Sahaba radiAllahu

ta'ala a'alum,

they wrote down. They didn't put that there.

For the Quran was written in the beginning

with no dots and no vowels.

And they

wrote the Quran,

just with the wordings.

Something known

as the body of the words.

Just mul kalimat.

So, they wrote

masjid

or masajid, in this case, meem, sin, jeem,

dal.

The alif after the jeem, you pronounce it,

you do not write it. You are not

allowed to write it.

You have the name Abdulrahman

or Arrahmanir

Rahim and Fatiha.

Arrahmanir Rahim. Right?

After the name. If you open Surat Al

Fatiha, that alif is not there. You find

a small one. The Sahaba didn't write that

down.

After it, you have a alif after the

name. The Sahaba did not write that down.

The Sahaba did not write that down. You

have a alif after the name. The Sahaba

did not write that down. You can check

right now. It's not there.

Bismillahir Rahmaalir Rahim.

For those who know Arabic,

according to dictation in Imla,

meaning when I say when you write what

you hear,

what are you supposed to write down? If

I say to you write Bismi.

What's the first letter?

Ba. Second one?

No. No.

Dictation.

Hamdulillassil.

Ba, hamdulillassil.

Seen

and then?

And then meen.

The whole Quran doesn't even It's not there.

You don't find that anywhere. It doesn't even

follow that.

Samah what? This word, how many alifs do

you hear?

2. 1 after the meen. And one after?

The waw. The whole Quran did not written

down.

Except for Surat Fussilat,

you find the second one written down. And

the example I gave before that with Bismi,

you find it in Surat Alaq irqara. Bismi

rabbikalladi

Khalaq.

Allah

subhanahu wa ta'ala says subhan, subhan. What do

you hear after the Alif.

The entire Quran, there's no Alif written down,

except for the second place in Suratul Isla.

Just like the Quran is wahi and revelation

from Allah in its recitation,

in its understanding,

then in its writing and scripture, it is

revelation also. Meaning, you can't write down the

Quran how you want to write it down.

You can't write the Quran down according to

dictation and imla. You can't say, subhan,

there's a alif when I pronounce it. Let's

write it down. No. You can't do that.

You can only write down the Quran, how

the Sahaba wrote the Quran. Just like you

recite the Quran, how they recited it. Just

like you understand the Quran,

how they understood it. Just like that, you

write it down how they wrote it.

And

you are not allowed

to write it down in the Arabic language

if it goes against how they wrote it

down. Does that make sense? Shall I repeat

it?

If it's in the Arabic language, but it

goes against how the sahaba wrote it. In

this case, I write the alif or subhan,

for example, because that's Arabic. But they didn't

do that. It's completely wrong.

Taib. So is English a land then? Can

I write the Quran in transliteration?

If you can't write it down in Arabic,

samad, you can't write it down in Arabic.

If it goes against how the Sahaba wrote

it, can you write subhan, s u b

h a n a l l, like that?

Oh, Alla Hamdulillah a l h. You cannot

do that.

While the the scholars have completely agreed, there's

no mukhalif, there's a ijma'ah.

They agree, all of them, that you're not

allowed to write the Quran

in a language

outside the Arabic language. Not only that, if

it's in the Arabic language but it's against

how they wrote it, that's wrong too.

You can't write the Quran in Latin.

In other words, transliteration is not allowed.

All of that was me just saying that

one statement. Transliteration

is It's

not allowed.

But here, transliterations are everywhere. They're in all

the masajid. You can buy them. They're in

bookshops. Everyone has it. We all had it.

Just because something's widespread doesn't mean it's right.

Who said that?

Sir,

it is transliterations, for example. In

Mecca, everywhere, and they even sell it. Does

that make it right? Does not make it

right. Who said that?

So transliteration is incorrect.

Then the question comes, if transliteration is incorrect,

how do we learn the Quran then? How

do we teach someone?

Tajweed. Tajweed.

How do we help someone with their recitation?

The answer is, there is a sunnah of

how you learn the Quran. And it is

the one of the earliest sunnahs ever, which

is you recite, the student listens, the student

recites, the teacher listens. Repeat like you said.

If there's a mistake, the teacher corrects. If

there's no mistake, the teacher affirms. That's how

you learn the Quran.

And you ask yourselves a question. Someone who

doesn't know Arabic, who's a revert, for example,

or even if they're born Muslim, they just

don't know Arabic yet.

You give them a transit iteration. They think

they are helping themselves,

but they are not learning to treat that

way.

A l h, this h does not stand

for

The d h does not stand for bad.

It does not. You are going to say,

like that. Like we find a lot of

people saying. They read to us back,

because he has a transliteration.

And you tell him, drop it, we'll teach

you the proper way.

They think this is the right way. So

this is wrong.

And imam Malik, ibn Anas,

the scholar from Madinah, he quotes the ijma'ah.

If you want a reference, he quotes the

ijma'ah and he says the scholars have unanimously

agreed this. Not that it is

wrong to write it in a language outside

Arabic. He's saying the scholars have said you

can't write it in Arabic if it's outside

the way the Sahaba wrote it. So ignore

Latin. Latin and other languages are gone outside

of the Romes. There's nothing out.

Tariq, continue.

We can speak more about this, but we

don't want to go completely

off the topic. But the point of this

now is

now you realize that the Quran has a

lot of ajab and miracles even in its

writing. And you are enslaved upon that. And

it shows just how

watertight your religion is.

We know that this work We we know,

the people who have studied, that the entire

Quran, samawat,

heavens, heavens, heavens, skies,

it has come many times. We know that

the whole Quran, it hasn't been written except

for surat, for I would tell you that

subhan hasn't been written in the whole Quran.

The Alif for it, except Suratul Isra. Bismid

Alif hamdulul Wasra has been written except for

Suratul Alaq, and so on and so forth.

This is how the Quran has been preserved.

People know this off the top of their

heads.

So Allah

is looking after his Quran even in his

writing, even in the smallest thing. I told

you last week that the Quran comprises of

114 surahs. And the surahs comprise of ayat,

verses. These comprise of jumal,

sentences. And those comprise of words. And then

you have letters. And then you have you

have harakat, which is the smallest constitution.

We know everything about it.

This is the Quran and this is Islam.

So

slowly slowly in the course, you will find

out different things. Continue.
