Muhammad
make dua that Allah
blesses our brother with
the best of the best in the dunya.
Yeah. Allah already gave him the best of
the best, which is his own column in
his heart. May
Allah make his life
and
illuminated
by that column. May this column be firm
in his heart always.
And on the day when he meets Allah,
may Allah decree for him
what Rasulullah said.
And Allah will say to him,
recite
my like you used to recite
in the world.
And for every letter he recites, Allah
will increase the for him
until he comes to the end.
We ask
who to accept
his effort.
I know what an enormous effort that is.
People think living is simple.
I won't say because this is the
I would not do it for anything.
It is the most difficult thing in the
world to do, to keep track, to read,
to where you stop, where you start,
what you do.
And this can happen only by the
help of Allah.
I'm sure he feels it
when he's standing here and reading.
May Allah grant us that we have that
connection with this color.
I always try to reflect and I it
was to reflect. So think about this.
If somebody said, you know, that the this
spaceship which went
the International Space Station and they got a
beam from some
planet in
the in the outer space, and they are
now trying to
decipher what this beam was, what was this
message from this,
you know, this this, planet in in outer
space and so on. We're all so excited.
We've got this message from these people. They're
obviously much more advanced than we are and
so on and so on.
But this is a message from
our creator Allah
So before we
before we read the Quran, before we try
to understand it and so on, just think
about that. Just sit there with the with
the in your hand and reflect and say
to yourself that this is Allah speaking to
me,
which is what it is.
This is Allah
speaking to me.
The nuzul of the Quran al Kareem is
on your heart and my heart.
This is the direct speech of Allah.
The Quran al Kareem came first as the
spoken word. It was recorded and written down
later.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala communicated with Jibay Salam
in a manner
which suits his majesty and grace. Jibail Salam
came and gave this Kalam as a spoken
word to Rasulullah
and Rasulullah
then spoke this
to the Sahaba
They heard it. They memorized it. They spoke
it, and then at some point, put it
down.
And it was that spoken word which entered
the hearts of people.
You know, Allah
gave to each Nabi
a
miracle,
a wajiza,
which related to
something which people of that time considered to
be
their specialty, their strength.
And Allah
came with miracles
which proved that their strength
was not
as strong as what Allah had given to
the Nabi. What the Nabi had broke their
strength.
And that is the reason why
the people who first came to Islam in
the in in the time of every Nawi
were the people who were the experts in
that field.
Right? Take Musa Alai Salam.
The Egyptians were known for magic.
Right? Nobody did magic as good as the
Egyptians. They still are. Yeah. They still
amazing. I mean, they they their magic was
at
a totally different level.
So Allah
give Musa al Salam this thing which appears
to be magic. Right? He's he throws his
stuff on the ground, it turns into a
snake.
Apparently, like a magic trick.
So when the Firaun sees this,
Ramesses the second,
He calls the magician and he says, can
you beat this? They said, no problem.
And they say, be it not the Firao.
He said, by your name and by your
honor,
we will defeat this. No no hassle.
This is nothing.
So he gathers all the people
and Musa Alai Salam is there?
And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says, throw the
stick. Allah is here for you. Allah is
watching.
Now what is the first thing that happens?
The first thing that happens is that the
same magicians,
they fall in sujood.
Why?
Because they know this is not magic.
They are the experts.
They recognize it. They recognize it instantly.
Other people don't recognize it. They are the
expert. They said, this is not magic.
This is something else.
And they fall in sudul immediately.
Farang said, I will cut off your your
arms and legs. He said, do what you
want.
Do whatever you want.
But we bring iman and bring faith in
the rub of Musa and Harrow
Because we know what is magic. Nobody in
the world knows magic better than we know.
And therefore, we recognize this is not magic.
Similarly, the Arabs were very arrogant about their
till till today, they're very arrogant about their
language.
Sometimes I joke with them. They say, you
know, there are we have in our the
Arabic language, there are 700 words for camel.
And I say you don't even have one
word for nanotechnology. Big deal.
A camel is a camel is a camel.
Who cares why if you have 700 words?
Right?
So the point I'm making is that till
today, they are very arrogant about that. Those
days,
I mean, they were the linguists. They were
the linguists. They were the people. There are
stories of pre Islam
poets
who would come, and they would stand by
the Kaaba, and they would recite poetry,
what in in Urdu, we say, Fir Badi.
Just like that. Out of memory, he he
is creating the poetry
as he's talking, standing there. He's not reading
from anywhere.
They would recite thousands of lines of poetry.
Half the night, they would recite poetry.
Such masters of language.
And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
sent his kalam
which has no parallel
in terms of language alone. We are not
even talking about the fact that it is
divine, that it has things in it which
which were unknown at that time. It has
things in it which are unknown to to
this day. I'm not saying any of that.
Just the grammar, just the language, just the
tone.
And who recognize the first?
People like Hassan Nasaved, one of the greatest
poets of of Arabia.
He said this is not he said this
is not the language of any human being.
He said we know language.
Nobody knows language better than us. They used
to call everybody a. They're they're dumb. People
are you you speak anything other than Arabic.
You are not a human. You're dumb.
Sabino language.
This
is not from any human being.
This is the kalam of Allah.
That's the reason why it is so critically
important also to learn Arabic language.
Because like anything, like like Urdu, I mean,
Amdul Allah is, you know, blessed me with
many languages. But in Urdu, for example, if
you take Urdu poetry, there's no way
that you can translate Urdu poetry into any
other language and still retain the
In our country, Hyderabad,
which is a country like yours,
When we had what they call police action,
which is actually
annexation
of the country.
So overnight the country was taken over
and there was a poet called Amjad Harrawaddy.
He wrote, just two lines
about how this whole thing turned the other
way around.
Right? I will decide the 2 line in
Urdu and Urdu people here, you'll understand in
the originally and you'll know the you'll taste
the sweetness. Then I'll try and translate it,
and you'll see what it does.
That's it.
4 words. That's it in two lines.
He's saying the notables
became
trash
and the trash became notables.
But see how how it slaughters the language,
right? I mean there's no
kalam of Allah SubhanAllah
and kalam of Allah
And that is the miracle of the Quran.
As sheikh was saying,
which other it's not just a matter of
memorizing.
Right?
Somebody sent me a video the other day.
If I find it, I'll send it to
you. You can share it.
This is in Azhar. This lady, young,
Hafida,
she's being tested
by
3.
And the commentator says the question they are
asking are really questions you should ask a
search engine, not a human being.
For example, the first question they asked her
was,
Where does this come in the Quran in
which surah and which is the ayah?
Can you imagine?
600 pages,
where does it guard this girl?
Perfect.
All of that and similar questions.
This is a miracle of the Quran. This
is of course, obviously Allah has given our
memory but the point is that that kind
of retention
of the Kalam of Allah is only possible
in the Quran.
Now how do we relate to the Quran?
Number 1, by trying to get the glory
and majesty of that in our hearts.
Number 2 is to understand that the column
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala came to be
obeyed.
It came to be understood. It came to
be lived by.
It did not just come for us to
recite it beautifully and so on and so
forth for the barakah and we just
go home. No.
When Allah
said,
then we have to establish his salah until
the last day.
When Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said,
we must fast
in the month of Ramadan
and so on and so forth.
We respect the Quran. We we we read
the Quran. We understand the Quran and the
way to do that is by living by
the Quran. Islam is the name of a
practice. Islam is not the name of a
theory.
Islam is like judo or karate or something.
You have to practice it then it benefits
you. If you memorize the book of judo,
then you still, you know, when you when
you get caught in the street by somebody,
you still hit the you still hit the
tarmac because you don't know you memorize the
book of it. You don't know how to
do it.
How to do it is the issue.
So we relate to the Quran
by practicing, by
living by
it,
by connecting with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
This is the whole, the
whole,
effort of Rasool Sallallahu Wa Salam was this,
was to connect the people
to Allah
by means of the Quran.
And he did that so effectively
that in a period of 23 years,
that one generation
from being the weakest,
the most despised, the most oppressed
people on the planet
in their community,
they became
the rulers of the same community. They became
role models for everybody in that same community.
Just just about 23 years.
Just a matter of 23 years. Abu Jahl
killed
the mother and father
of, Amar ibn Yasir.
What happened?
Nothing.
Did anybody
give him a ticket or did somebody take
him to court or somebody said, no. No.
You know what you did wrong? No. Nothing.
Nothing happened.
Imagine what level of
of operation that is. That you can just
go kill somebody just like that
and nothing happens
to you. From there
to the point where they became the leaders
of society. And after mister Salam, of course,
in the Khalafar Rashida,
Khalafar Rashida, they, you know, conquered the
the 2 greatest
empire of the time, which is the Roman
and the Persian empires.
All of that happened in the
until the time all this was done. All
by the power of the Kalam of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
The Sahaba took the Kalam of Allah as
it is to be taken as real.
Literally, they didn't go hunting. You know, when
Allah says this, there is a hidden meaning
and that meaning is there. They didn't do
all that. They said, Allah said this, we
do it. Finished.
I want to end with this, when Allah
finally prohibited
alcohol.
When this ayat came Hanaz bin Malik narrates.
I was in my house. I had some
guests and he also named some of the
Sahaba. He said we were I was pouring
wine for them. They had somebody had wine,
you know, like, when the thing you first
made for everyone to get it, there is
a cheers. So before that, the the he's
pouring the wine. He said, we heard the
we heard the caller of
with this.
Abu Radeh says, I was pouring like this,
I moved my hand, and it poured on
the on the ground.
Then what was in the cups?
They turned it over. They threw it.
He said what was in the mouth?
They spat it out. They didn't say, okay.
This is the mouth already one last time.
No. They spat it out.
And then he says that they went to
remember, wine making was an industry.
They used to make wine of dates and
and and grapes in Madina. This was part
of the economy.
It's not just a matter of, you know,
enter entertainment. It why do they call
it? They went home and they smashed
all the containers, all the jars and so
on. The storage of wine. He said, wine
was flowing in the drains of Badinah, streets
of Badinah like a river.
They broke all that.
Somebody went and reported this.
They are
they're they have they have stopped handula but
they also smashed all of these.
So called them and said, why did you
break the jars? You know, you could have
washed it and use it. They said, yeah,
we do not we do not want to
have anything that reminds us that we used
to
disobey
Allah.
Imagine,
when they were drinking wine, were they disobeying
Allah?
No. Because the ayat had not come.
So they were not dissolving Allah. They are
not prohibited.
Even then, they said no.
Now that the ayat has come, we don't
even want to remember the time when we
used to do this. Even though it was
not they're not going into the technicalities of
it. Is it true? Where where is the
is it for the is it now is
this is it Makru? Is it Haram? Is
it Makru Tan Tanzihi or the Harimi or
no. Allah does not like finished.
This is the meaning, the essence of taqwa
and obedience to Allah.
Ask Allah
to fill our hearts with his izzah, with
his kashya, with his hub,
with his glory and majesty and love for
him.
Ask Allah
to fill our lives with that. Ask Allah
to
yeah.
The brother is saying that with with, search
engines sometimes they give you the wrong when
you have the meaning, they give you the
wrong meaning and so on. See, that that
is the reason why you should learn your
religion.
No one. That is the reason why you
need to learn your religion.
And also, if you need if you learn
the fundamental, you don't need to have become
a.
If you become a. But
if you know the fundamentals,
then you will know that something is wrong
with this. You may not know exactly what
is wrong and so what is it. No.
No. It can't mean this.
Right? It automatically
does not a a red light in your
head. Number 1. Number
2, also always have contact with Wallama.
Be in touch with scholars.
So if you have a doubt, go to
the scholar. Somebody knows this. Go to the
person and say, this is what I'm reading.
Please tell me, is it correct, not correct,
you know. Somebody will tell you.
So big guy, inshallah.
Not not a problem.
Technology is a tool. Technology is a tool.
Right? Just because a knife is made of
gold, you don't you don't stab yourself.
Knife is a knife.
So
they did that. A tool is a tool.
Right? How to use it is a different
issue?
So that's why,
for the question, it's very important. So let
us think about that. We ask Allah to
help us to be on the right path.
We ask Allah
to keep us on the right path and
to take us when he's pleased with us.
We ask Allah
to make the make our life progressively better
and progressively more obedient to him. We ask
Allah
to keep us in a state where the
last part of our life is the best
part of our life and the last day
when we meet
Allah is the best day.
