Santa Monica kumara Allahu barakato
Miss Miller, one hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah
Ali, he was on a woman voila.
We start with the name, the praises of our Creator, Allah
subhanaw taala, our Sustainer
the one who guides us to the truth.
And we send peace and blessings on all of his messengers, and
particularly the final messenger, Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wa Salam on his noble family and his companions.
And we ask Allah subhanaw taala to make this session, one that is
beneficial for us, one that affects our hearts,
one that provides a certainty
in the truth of the Quran.
So the topic that you chose was titled miracles of the Quran.
So before we start, let's talk in general terms when we say miracle,
what does it what thoughts come to your mind? What's a miracle?
Yes,
something that's supernatural, or supernatural, or extra natural?
For that we need to know what is natural.
What is natural?
Yes, think of it as something that is possible.
Something that's possible, even the miracles are possible.
Yes.
Something that
that we didn't create what is natural, what we see naturally
happening? What does
that because I'm short on time, I've been given a time limit
what we have experienced in our life as a phenomenon that's
occurring routinely. For example, we see the sun rising, we see the
sunset, right? We see heavy clouds come we expect rain.
When the winter season comes, we expect the leaves to fall. Right?
So all the phenomena that we are watching around us, which we
normally experience, we call them natural. But what does it mean? Is
it on their own that they have this? The answer is no. Everything
is governed by a law. We call them laws of nature. But a more
accurate statement would be Allah's laws in nature, too,
there's a difference. Because natural law implies that
everything has its own
ability to do things whereas Allah's laws in nature means Allah
made the laws, that all of these objects and things follow because
they are subservient to their Creator.
So when we talk about miracles, we're talking about things that
are beyond our normal experience, what we expect and it is beyond
the capacity of created beings collectively
to perform.
It's something that we don't expect, we think it might be
impossible, yet it becomes possible. So in a way, it
incapacitates us that we are helpless in front of it. We do not
have the capacity, neither to perform, even to imagine that
something like this could happen. So that's what we call miracle in
general terms. In Arabic, the word used is Marja, which comes from
urges and urges means something that incapacitate you, that makes
you helpless in front of it. Okay, but the word Medusa is not used in
the Quran. Allah subhanaw taala uses words like if science cannot
special things. Okay.
So, the question comes, Allah subhanaw taala has made natural
laws, why does he need to bring forth miracles?
What do you think?
Are miracles necessary?
If you look at it, we see miracles everywhere. Each one of you is a
miracle.
Nobody can create you
Every cell in your body is a miracle.
The night outside is a miracle. The day is a miracle. Everything
you see around is a miracle, in a way, right? But we have gotten
used to it a miracle like something outside of what we
perceive could validate the existence of God. Absolutely.
But who needs it? The people who reject that there is a Creator.
So Allah subhanaw taala, sent guides for mankind through human
history.
Like, no, no, Ali Salam, Ibrahim, Abraham,
Moses, Jesus, and finally the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
salam, Allah subhanaw taala tells us that he sent messengers to
every nation, to guide them to the truth. Now what was the normal
sequence of events, people will living their lives in whatever way
they wanted, doing whatever they wanted, no laws, no regulations.
So a guide would come to them, and call them to the truth, to follow
some laws to have some a good character to, to be just to be
merciful, and all of that. And they said, that worship one God,
the unseen God, and people would reject those messages, and they
said, You are a liar. So Allah subhanaw taala would sometimes
support the truth of his message and the messengers, by showing
people that no, there is something special about this person. And
sometimes the people themselves who are rebellious, would
challenge the messengers. How do we know? Show us this miracle?
Show us this. Here's a mountain make a pregnant female camel come
out of the mouth, ridiculing them, okay? Bring the dead to life.
So, Allah subhanaw taala supported his the truth of His messengers,
to prove that they were truth. And each of the miracles when we look
in the Quran that I mentioned, there are mentions of the miracles
of Moses and Jesus and many other messengers, Allah subhanaw taala
chose to send miracles that were specific for the time. And it
dealt with the expertise of the people what they took the most
pride in, for example, at the time of Pharaoh surround, and Moses La
Silla, jeez, Musa alayhis salam, they were big into magic. They
could do all kinds of things. So Allah subhanaw taala, sent Musa
alayhis salam with miracles that out did their their magic to show
you that you think you are an expert, you are a hotshot, look
what my messenger can do.
And Allah subhanaw taala call them as we say, if I add mean signs, so
Allah subhanaw taala says, referring to Musa alayhis salam,
he was given multiple miracles to prove to the people that he was a
messenger Allah subhanaw taala says, well add Hillier that Caffee
JB Carta, which by all means very soon, fetus Aya teen Isla Farah,
owner of a coma he in Nome Canyon common fast attain Allah subhanaw
taala tells Moses la Salam put your hand into the pocket of your
clock, and it will come out white and glowing without being harmed.
He said, and this is one of the nine signs that I have given you.
And those who have seen 10 commandments see all of that, that
he was given a staff that he threw down or to become a snake. And
there was this competition he had with the magicians. And we know
the story of that, that he parted the sea by hitting the Red Sea
with the staff at bought it and many other miracles. So nine of
those are mentioned.
Now, is it the ability of the staff the stick to do that? Or is
it the ability of Moses la salon to do that? The answer is no.
All miracles all are purely by Allah at the hands of his message.
And to make this point clear, Allah subhanaw taala mentioned
some of the miracles of lethal Islam Jesus Peace be upon all of
them. When he talks about a Salah salaam, Allah subhanaw taala says,
What are suelen Illa bunny straw eel and Nika J to come be I attend
Mira become an NI a hello Kula complimentary hating tire. So I'm
fuku fee for your cool toys from beginning in. Aubrey ACMA, while
EB rasa moto but even in
that Isa Al Islam, Allah subhanaw taala said, and we made him a
messenger to the Children of Israel, saying I have come to you
with a sign from your Lord, that I desire
For you out of clay, a bird and I breathe into it and it becomes a
bird, and that I heal those who are born blind, and I heal the
leper, and I bring the dead to life. By the leave by the command
of Allah every time he says those special things is by the command
of Allah means it's not his power, yet it is at his hands.
So Allah subhanaw taala strengthened his his messengers by
means of miracles Allah subhanaw taala mentioned in the Quran till
corrosion from the Lambada Humala Baden minuman column Allahu wa
Rafa by the home that are Jonathan What Are They Now he Sabina Marie
Yemen by Unity a year the now will be rueful kudos. Allah subhanaw
taala says and all of these messengers that we sent for the
guidance of mankind we raised and we favored some above the others.
And among them was one whom Allah Himself talked to, which is Musa
alayhis salam. And there were others whom we raised in rank.
Likewise, we gave clear signs to Jesus the son of Mary and
supported him with the Holy Spirit. So Allah smart Allah is
telling us that this is how we strengthened and then Allah
subhanaw taala goes on to say, Had Allah so will the people who had
seen clear signs would not have fought against one another after
the prophets. But it was not Allah's Will to prevent people
forcibly from differences. In other words, you have been given
the choice to accept it or not to accept it. And they disagreed.
Then some of them accepted the truth and others rejected it. This
has been human history. If Allah had so willed, they would never
have fought against one another. But Allah does whatever he
pleases. Okay. So this is the basic background of what the
miracles and why miracles came into being now coming to the
Quran. Specifically, the Quran is the living eternal miracle of the
final messenger rasool Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam, the
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.
So let us first molecule Lucena, let us first, define and
understand what the Quran is.
The Quran is the revealed word of Allah subhanaw taala of God in the
Arabic language, both in words and meaning less than one man revealed
to the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa Salam 14 Centuries ago,
through the angel Jibreel over a 23 year period, for the guidance
of mankind till the Day of Judgment and to legislate
the divine law. It is for the Sharia Hoda guidance and tertiary.
And that Quran has reached us by what is called mutawatir
uninterrupted transmission from one generation to the other. And
what does that mean? So that in each generation, the sheer numbers
of narrators, who had the same Quran, who recited the same Quran
and transmitted it to the next generation, were initially in the
hundreds then in the 1000, and then the millions in each
generation, which then makes any possibility of it being erroneous
or forged zero.
Because in every generation, there were hundreds and 1000s to the
millions of people who recited and it was both a written transmission
and an oral transmission because one of the miracles of the Quran
is that it is memorized and there are millions of people who
memorize the Quran. Okay.
So,
it has 114 Surah says, you know, and chapters if you want to call
them with, beginning with Surah Fateha, ends with sort of a nurse
and it is safeguarded and protected by Allah Himself through
perceptible and imperceptible means. What are the perceptible
means? It's available in print, everywhere the Quran is the same.
And another perceptible means is by memorization, that we have a
father which are called Guardians of the Quran, who can recite the
Quran from memory from the beginning to the end. And we have
millions of them. There are many in this area in Western Mass, who
have memorized the entire Quran, every Muslim memorize some
portions of the Quran. But there are those who have memorized at
all. This is one of the ways in which the Quran is preserved. And
there are imperceptible means that we don't know. How do we know that
the Quran has been preserved and has not been changed? Because in
the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala himself says, In Noona, Zelena,
Vikram in Allahu Allah half evil, that indeed it is us Allah
subhanaw taala the plural of majesty, who have revealed this
Quran this
remembrance and indeed it is we who will protect it. People have
tried all kinds of ways of trying to clean up the Quran, the enemies
of Islam have the truth, but they have not succeeded and they will
not succeed because this is a guarantee from Allah subhanaw
taala.
So, in summary with all of these, how do we know this is the divine
word because of the urges because of the miraculous nature of it.
Now, I want all of you to understand one thing, and the
Quran did not come down. To be just a miracle. Quran is a book of
guidance, okay. And a legislator with laws.
It has narrations of the past stories of what happened centuries
and centuries before the Prophet Muhammad Salah lives, and it has
predictions of future events, which have some of which have
happened since it came and some of which, which will happen in the
future.
It is not a book of science. So don't try and always find things
in the Quran said this must mean this in science, okay. But
there has never been, and there will never be any true universally
proven scientific truth, which will contradict the Quran ever.
Why is that?
Because of the science discovers
natural laws.
Okay, what the moon is doing, what the Sun is doing, what this is
doing natural laws. So how can the word of the one who made all those
natural laws contradict the laws he made?
So if you find some scientific theory or hypothesis that
contradicts Be sure at some point, it will be proven wrong.
Everything that's true science that has been proven, has some
indication either in general terms or in specifics in the Quran. And
since it's not a book of, of science, it's not going to give
you details of every single process. Okay, it's only got some
six to 7000 verses, you know, 600 pages, so you can't expect the
details of every single thing to be here.
So first off, the Quran is a linguistic miracle, because, as we
said, the people of Moses were magicians. So Moses came with
magical science. The people at the time of ESA Salam, Jesus Salam
would begin to medicine. So he was sent with curing diseases,
blindness and leprosy and to the extent of raising the dead. At the
time of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam where he
was sent in Makkah, the Quraysh the people of Makkah took pride in
their eloquence in their language in their linguistics, okay? That
there is nobody superior to us in our language. So Allah is one of
that sent the Quran as a linguistic miracle
because of its sheer eloquence, its beauty in the letter n the
meaning on any subject.
And they recognized it even though they many of them denied it. So
Allah subhanaw taala then challenges them in the Quran.
And that challenge is open till the Day of Judgment. What does
Allah subhanaw taala says, first initially, Allah subhanaw taala
tells them he says, it does the Prophet salallahu Salam tell them
call
the initial ma till ensue will Jin know Allah is here to be miss the
hurdle Quran Allah to not be Miss Lee Well O'Connor by the homely
burden of a hero, which means tell them a profit. If all of mankind
and all of Jin kind this unseen creatures of Allah come together
to produce the equivalent, the lack of the Quran, they will not
be able to produce it, no matter how much they support each other.
This is a blanket statement, they will not be able to do. Okay,
that's just a statement. Then Allah subhanaw taala puts forth a
challenge. Because the people who are rejecting it would say that
oh, the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam, who as we
know, was unlettered, he wasn't educated, he didn't go to school.
He was an orphan. They said, Oh, he has invented it. And he was not
known to be a poet or anything. Okay. So this they use Allah
subhanaw taala says I'm Jaco loon of Tara Wolfert to be misled.

They say oh Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam that he has

Allah for help if you speak the truth, Allah says, I have 114
chapters bring me 10
And they tried and they couldn't recognize it themselves and Allah
subhanaw taala upped the ante by revealing another I said I'm Jaco

brief few words. So, this kuffaar got together they found the best
of the most eloquent of their points, and they said, We will
give you we will make you rich produce something
to compete with this. And we will he said, I need all these books of
this because there is history in it and there is this and so they
gave him everything he needed.
After six months he came, they said what have you produced, he
said nothing. He said, We gave you everything.
He said marhaba Kahlil Bashar, he said, This is not the word of any
human being.
This is the one who came to was brought into challenge to produce
this. So this linguistic miracle of Allah subhanaw taala has been
present since then and it persists today. Now, let's talk about some
of the miracles that are mentioned that some of the
things that are mentioned in the Quran about the temporal dimension
of this universe, which is miraculous, because it was not
nothing about it was known 1400 years ago. These are recent
findings, for example.
Today, when the scientists talk about it again, this is not
completely proven about the creation of the universe. What do
they talk about?
What is it the Big Bang Theory?
Is there anything the Quran that supports that? Allah subhanaw
taala says, Our lumea AlLadhina cafardo UNECE summer why it was
art Canada wrapped up in Phatak. Now Houma. Allah subhanaw taala
says, do the disbelievers not realize and know that the heavens
and the earth were once joined together
for Phatak Now who am I and then we split it asunder.
Sounds like the Big Bang. A lot smarter not saying it's the big
bang. But look at how close that comes. And then Allah subhanaw
taala says, while you're under minima, equally share in height
and we created from water every living creature of Allah you can
be known Will you not believe Allah is telling us that? That
formula of water in every living creature there can be no life
without it?
So what do all the you know the space programs when they look for,
for life? anywhere else on the moon on the Mars? What do they
look for? Is there any signs of water?
Is there any signs of water? Allah Samantha tells us everything
that's living will have some components of water.
Whether it's plants with anything else, so that tells you
now what do they also tell us about the universe scientists
today? What's happening to the universe?
It's always expanding the brand's anything about that? Yes, it does.
Was summer a B'nai na be ideal. We're in LA musei our own Allah
subhanaw taala says, we built the heavens the universe with great
miton power and in an indeed we love Musa own this present
continuous and we are expanding it
is that a miracle? Nothing about this. It's in the Quran.
Now what do the geologists and these people who find dinosaurs
and who age the earth and universe tell us when did men arrive on the
scene?
They tell us that the universe is what 14 billion years old or
something like that, and that man is a late comer. In fact,
sometimes they have drawn the clock
clock,
the 24 hour clock, and it looks like man arrived in the last 15
minutes of that creation.
He's a late comer. And we know the oldest fossils of that acumen.
1015 20 50,000 years maximum. That's what they found. And there
are some other things that maybe nothing more than that. And then
yet we know fossils of other creatures that are millions of
years old of the dinosaurs and other things in the earth and how
they dealt with carbon dating. So Allah they are telling us that you
know, we are little features in this universe. We came very late
to the last one tell us anything about this in the Quran? Yes, he
does. Allah subhanaw taala asks a question. Highlighter Allah in
Santa Fe New Mina dari la mia Concha Mathura was there not a
period of time
in existence, when the name of man was not even mentioned?
Because it didn't exist. He came much later. Okay. So this is
another thing that makes you think, who's telling you this?
So those are some of them and I can't, in this short period of
time, go over everything, but I'll just give you a sampling.
Then Allah subhanaw taala gives us detailed descriptions of past
events which were available means unseen to the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi salam, he had no knowledge of it. He is growing up in the
middle of a desert, uneducated, they didn't know any of this.
Allah subhanaw taala revealed in the Quran, the story of Moses and
Pharaoh, they knew that Moses there was a prophet Moses and
Pharaoh and Allah subhanaw taala mentioned in the Quran, one of the
Viziers, a minister of of Pharaoh by the name of Harmon, and his
name Harman is not mentioned in any of the previous scriptures
including the Torah
or the Jewish scriptures. The name Harman is not mentioned.
Guess what happens? The Egyptologist when they examined
some of the hieroglyphics they found the name exactly ha man who
was a minister at the time it's written in in the world, the name
Allah Samantha Allah mentions to the Prophet sallallahu in the
Quran, the story of Mary how she became pregnant without being
touched her where she went to give birth. What happened all of those
details what happened to Elisa Allison and what happened to
Abraham? All of those previous stories in great details, things
that happened 1000s of years before the prophets Allah loves
the people of Medina and the people of Luton SLM, which is now
the Dead Sea, and so on so forth.
Allah subhanaw taala mentioning this, he said that they come in
and bear in vibing new chi Lake we're makin Salah de him, is you
will Hakuna Allama home. Are you home yet? falu. Maria Maria Quinta
de him is young Tassimo.
This, these stories Allah smart Allah is saying, is a part of the
news of the unseen of the past nations, which you are Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi salam have no knowledge of which We inspire you.
And then Allah subhanaw taala says over there,
that you
were not there with them.
When they cast their lords as to who is going to be the guardian of
Maria Melissa, and you will not win them or not with them when
they disputed all of these things given in detail the Prophet
salaallah lessem had no knowledge of so Allah smart Allah is telling
us that he was given information of the past. So some of the co
founder of Makkah, wanting to prove the Prophet salallahu Alaihe
Salam wrong
knew that the Jews of the time had the old scriptures. So they said
to, to the Jews in Medina, give us some questions that we can put in
front, some challenges in front of this messenger to prove that he's
an imposter.
So they gave him one set of questions. You said, Ask him. How
did the children of Israel end up in Egypt?
Allah Swanton revealed Surah use of
the story of Joseph a whole chapter in every detail what
happened with his brothers every detail what happened? And look at
that every detail and that's how they ended up in Egypt because he
had become the minister over there and then he brought his family
then that then the set asked him about the people who slept for a
long time there which are in the in the Scriptures, the Seven
Sleepers
SQ prophets Allah Allah, Allah Islam knew nothing of Allah
Samantha revealed Surah calf, which gives you details of what
happened, including how many there were, what the dog was where the
dog sat, what the conversations they had with each other.
So the prophets of Allah is on the side to Soraka have to them and
they were amazed. How does he know all of this? Because this is Allah
subhanaw taala has miraculous nature of the Quran. So that's
about the past. How about
predicting future events?
At the time of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, there were
two superpowers like we have today, two or three, there were
two superpowers, the Byzantines Romans and the Persians and they
would always be fighting with each other for *. So the
Byzantines, the Roman Empire were Christians. So they believed there
were people of the books so the Muslims were more aligned and and
liked them. And the kuffaar of Makkah, like the Persians because
they were fire worshippers, that sort of thing. So there was a
battle between the Romans and the Persians, and the Roman armies
were decimated by the Persians, completely destroyed.
And the kuffaar of Makkah was celebrating and they said, Look,
just like the Romans have been destroyed, one we are going to
take care of you.
Because you are aligned with those people who believe in one God.
This is what will happen. Allah subhanaw taala revealed Surah a
room at that time called the Romans Willie but there room for
additional art. They were human but they validate him so you have
a label on CBD oil is seen in Lilla Hill I'm rooming car bloomin
Babu, but You're amazing. You're Franco, meno. Allah subhanaw taala
says the Romans have been defeated in the near lands near lands were
Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and that's where the army that the the battle
took place. decimated. Then Allah subhanaw taala says, And yet
today, after their defeat, will soon be victorious over the
Persians within a period of three to nine years, be that sinning,
even give a timeframe. And people laughed. They said they've been
decimated. How can they defeat the Romans? Allah subhanaw taala says,
this is the decision of this matter before and after all with
Allah, Allah makes the decisions. And then Allah subhanaw taala goes
on to say And on that day, the day when the Romans defeated the
Persians, the believers the Muslims will celebrate.
Okay, so guess what happened exactly nine years after that.
There was another battle and this time, the Romans defeated the
Persians,
which was unthinkable. So it was a prediction, which came through
and it ended with an on a Yama in where your mind then your
fulfillment, many believers will be rejoicing to believers rejoiced
in the fact that the Romans won, but guess what it coincided with
the first battle of Islam, which is the battle of butter,
which the Muslims won against all odds that the historians just
can't today imagine how it could have happened.
It happened at the same time, so there was a double reason for
rejoicing of the Muslims. So now there is another subtle one. In
the early McCunn period, one of the uncle, the paternal uncle of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi, Salam by the name of Abu Lahab was
an arch enemy of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam have this
message and was
opposing the message and doing him and his wife were the ones who
completely read and this paternal uncle of Rasulullah of Prophet
Muhammad Sallallahu please.
Allah subhanaw taala revealed in that early McCunn period, the
surah which is called a lab, the Bhatia the a bill have been whatup
Magna and Omalu just say yes learner and data lab, one Broto
hammer little hugger, TG they are hablo Merced, Allah subhanaw taala
saying that Abu Lahab this uncle of yours will be in the Hellfire
him and his wife who will bring the the the fuel that feeds
Hellfire for him and she'll have the scholar around the neck,
condemned to *.
Abu Lahab and his wife lived for almost 12 years after revelation
of the surah
and his whole goal was to prove the message wrong and prove the
Quran wrong. You know what he had to all he had to do one day fake
in front of everybody just come and say, I shall do Allah Allah
hello I accept
message of Islam
that's all he had to say.
Because if it said that what would it mean? He cannot go into the
Hellfire that means the Quran is wrong.
Yet for 12 years him and his wife never did that because Allah had
sealed it that is not going to happen.
Okay
so there are other signs which are continuous and ongoing Allah
subhanaw taala tells us so no salary him yet in Phil faki will
be unfussy him Dieter buy another home and now hold up our alarm yet
Phoebe Rob Baker Anna who Allah Felicia in Shaheed which means
Allah subhanaw taala says we will show them we will continue to show
them our science, or miracles, our ayat in the universe, what science
finds, and within your own selves. You know, biology, embryology, all
of that, until it becomes manifest and clear to them that this Quran
is the truth.
Because it's all in here.
Is it not sufficient that you Lord, his witness over all things?
For example,
1400 years ago, nobody ascended into the skies like we fly today.
What happens when we fly into when we go up? What do the airplanes
need to have?
pressurized system why?
Because the atmospheric pressures are so low that
your chest would not be able to
breathe in any way gets constricted, you know, people get
sucked out of the airplanes, right? If the window breaks, we've
seen some of the movies.
So the Quran mentions that
that there is wanting to ascend Allah subhanaw taala says,
for me, you read the love of God who Yasha Sadra who will Islam
remain you read it you They allow you Al Sadr who the yep and
hydrogen Annamaya Yes, sir. Do FIS sama Lika Yeah, your job of law
hood register Alan Levine Allah you may known. Whoever Allah wills
to guide, he opens their heart to Islam. Now listen, but whoever He
wills to leave a stray, he makes the chest tight. Okay, and
constricted. And then he gives an metaphor, as if they have climbed
up into the skies.
The chest is as constricted. So he's telling us that if you climb
into the sky, this is what's going to happen.
This is a whole lot dooms those who disbelief and then Allah
subhanaw taala tells us that he created seven heavens above each
other, and that there are barriers that cannot be penetrated. Unless
one Torah tells us if you think you can penetrate those but all
that we see in the universe is just the first seven. And he tells
us through the professor that there are gates that cannot
without the permission, nothing can happen.
Similarly, Allah subhanaw taala tells us in the Quran, what is in
the depths of the oceans. Now to get to the depths of the ocean,
you needed submarines. People who dive can only go to a certain
depth now with all your scuba gear.
You can still
go only to a certain depth. Now Allah smart Allah gives us a scene
of what is in the
in the oceans which nobody knew at that time. Because we didn't have
submarines that went down a half a mile one mile two miles under the
ocean.
Allah smarter gives an example of disbelief as darkness he says oh
cadoola oka Zulu marketing Phil.
Oka Zola, Martin
V Baron Liu Ji Yasha who module min FOCA he module min FOCA he
sahab dolomiten by Doha folk about either Raja Yaga who lum Jacquet
era where man lamea jalila hula hula Nomura, from Allah who may
know what what does that mean? Allah saying the state of the
disbelievers is like a darkness. And then he describes that
scientific fact in the vast deep sea, overwhelmed with a wave on
top with another wave with dark clouds, darkness, one upon the
darkness upon darkness and he gives an example he says, and if a
man at that depth stretches out his hands
He cannot see it. It's so dark. So Allah smart Allah is telling us
what is in the depth, there is no light that penetrates. And nobody
knew that till we discovered the submarines that could go down.
Allah smart Allah gives us detailed description of the embro
embryology of men, the stages, you know from the drop to the zygote
to all of those in the Quran in multiple places, stages of that it
looks like it from a newt far to from an allopathic not far to
Allah kar Tomonaga, all of those, which tell us the stages of
development of embryology and now let me so you can look at those I
won't go into details. Then there is an interesting thing. Allah
subhanaw taala. When he talks about this, he gives us an order.
He says, In Halacha, insana, minute 14, I'm charging Natalie
fragile now, Sammy am Buffy era. He says, Indeed, we alone created
humans from a drop of mixed seminal fluid of the male and the
female in order to test them, and then listen. So we made them able
to hear and see.
So what's the order?
here and see, and now, science has discovered that in the fetus,
what comes first?
At 18 weeks, the ears develop and if the fetus starts to hear,
and the seeing being able to see light and dark comes at 22 weeks.
Allah smartphones already telling us what he has produced First,
power.
Astronomy, Allah subhanaw taala talks about the orbits in which
things are working.
Well, who Allah the Halacha Laila, when the hara was sham soil camera
cooling FIFA looking Yes,
that is the one who created the night and the day, the sun and the
moon, each traveling in a floating orbit.
Astronomers didn't know that 1400 years ago, they didn't have
telescopes like us, okay.
And Allah subhanaw taala tells us that it's an all calculator, he
said,
a sham so we'll come on the husband, the sun and the moon have
their fixed courses exactly calculated, measured out stages.
Last one, talks about the process of fertilization of, of animals
and men and he talks about fertilization of plants. He says
And We fertilize them with wins. They didn't even know the concept
that there were male aspect and female aspects to the plant and
how the pollen is, is spread by them. It's mentioned in the Quran.
Circulation circulation was discovered by Harvey about 250
years ago. It's mentioned in the Quran, how the blood circulates.
Now there's something neurological Allah subhanaw taala says, nasty
but then caddy but then hottie talking about the disbelievers who
were rejecting the one who had who is whose forebrain whose forelock
is lying
is telling us that the process of lying comes from the forebrain.
And now, we know that these functions, these judgments and the
process of lying itself comes from you. Not from back not from you
from the forebrain.
Then let's talk about relativity of time.
Einstein got a lot of burn on this one that there is something there
is time is relative.
Is there any thing
in that regarding the Quran? There may be? Let's look at this Allah
subhanaw taala says U DUB bear will Umbra Mina sama il are the
former Yara zhu li fi Yeoman Kana Mecca Daro who Alpha sanative
mimma doudoune. Allah subhanaw taala says he conducts every
affair of the heavens to the earth. Then it all ascends to him
in a Day
whose length is 1000 years by your reckoning?
Do you think it's 1000 days for Allah? It's 1000 years for a light
one day.
Time is relative.
Okay.
About 100 years ago, a German scientist by the name of
Alzheimer's neurologist, he discovered a disease which we are
having epidemic it's called what?
Alzheimer's disease Alzheimer's disease. What happens
See,
when you get to that
everything that you learned, goes away
everything that you learn
and just I see them all the time they come with their daughters who
is this? I don't know.
It's a friend of mine.
They don't know their own names. Allah subhanaw taala
gives us a hint of that.
He says, Well, Allahu halacha come from Maya Falcon Wyoming come
mind, you will not do it out of the real Amari li que la ya la
mama bada Elementary, in Allahu halimun Kadir, which means, it is
Allah who has created you, and in time will cause you to die. We
know all of that we experienced it. But then he says, some of you
will be reduced in old age because it comes on later,
to the most abject state so that after having knowledge after
having known a lot, they will know nothing at all.
And God is true, truly all knowing and all powerful.
Allah smart Allah talks about that gives us something about the
genetic code, which we just in the last 20 years, you know,
deciphered the entire genetic code has been mapped Allah talks about
everything is back to within the human being. It's written down,
it's codified.
You mentioned that
and there are what we call new miracle miracles of the Quran of
numbers about 19 The number 19 There are so bits mentioned in the
Quran in one place and there people have looked into it. How
many times this has mentioned how many times that and there is just
something it's amazing you can some of you can can look into the
publications about the numerical miracles of the Quran. I don't
have time to go into it.
Finally, let us ponder on a few things Allah subhanaw taala says
of Allah yet at the balloon Al Quran were low Can I mean the
radii Lai la vida do fee fee hefty Laffan cathedra which means Do
they not carefully consider and reflect on the Quran ponder on the
Quran carefully. Had it been from other than Allah, they would
surely have found there in much contradiction and inconsistency.
Because many things are mentioned many things I mentioned more than
once is there any inconsistency. So the word for that is called if
the laugh
so it ends with they would have found in the Quran fee if the
Lafon kathira. So the meaning is they would have found many
inconsistencies, which is the meaning. But the amazing thing is,
they would have found many if Tila fun. If you look in the whole
Quran 7000 You know, almost 7000 ayat, the word is still often
only appears one place, which is here. Even literally, you will not
find more than one.
But the real meaning is you won't find any inconsistency. So even
that way it doesn't contradict anything. This is the miracles of
the Quran.
And again, going back to the fact that we mentioned these things,
but the most important take home message for all of us is that the
Quran is a book of guidance and a legislator. It has narrations of
the past and future it has scientific things that will be
proven that have been proven.
And it is even selective in who will be guided and who will be led
astray by the symbol.
One would think if it's guidance everybody should be guided but we
have been given a choice.
Therefore last month Allah himself says in Allah La yes King Abdullah
masala man by all the time from Africa from Medina avenue for ya
allah Munna Allah who will have come rapping, but a Medina Kapha
rufa coluna murder or the law behind the masala you didn't know
but he cathedra oh my god but He cathedra well now you didn't know
be ill first thing which means
indeed it is Allah subhanaw taala who does not feel shine giving any
examples He will even give give you examples. parables about the
fly and the NAT. Okay.
Or something bigger, something smaller.
And the ones who believe they know this is the truth from their Lord.
And the one who disbelieve they say put a sunnah mean by this.
Allah subhanaw taala then says you will they will obey
cathedra
Well, yeah, the big buy this book Allah leads astray many people,
and it guides many people.
So how does it do that it says Walmart will deliver Halal
fasting. Only those who are led astray, were rebellious,
rebellious against the Lord rebellious against the truth of
the Quran, they will be led astray, they will look in the
chromosome. This doesn't make sense this contradicts this. This
is this this is but the same book, Allah smart Allah guides people.
So the miracles are previous prophets were temporal. They
happen at the time for the people. The greatest miracle of the Quran,
which is eternal guidance that has been provided. It provides
guidance till the Day of Judgment. It is an eternal miracle of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam given to the Prophet Muhammad
Sallallahu wasallam does not stop it does not expire. The actual
words of Allah subhanaw taala protected and preserved in the
heavens on Latin Matthew's the Godhead tablet and preserved in
the earth, as long as
the system continues to exist by the command of Allah, when Allah
subhanaw taala brings this universe to an end, which is also
mentioned in the Quran. When he tells us what will happen, how he
will shake the earth. He says the heavens will be torn apart, and
the oceans will explode. And he says, What Jamia shumsa will
cover, things will collapse back on themselves, because scientists
are talking about that, that when this energy expires, then gravity
will pull all of this thing, the Big Bang thing together, ALLAH
SubhanA wa Jumia shunsui will join the the sun and the moon together
giving us some hint of what's going to happen. As long as the
universe exists, the Quran will be there for guidance, but just
before its final destruction, Allah will take it, it will be
lifted, because the word of Allah cannot be destroyed.
And as I said before, just remember, the Quran is not a book
of science.
But as we said before, true science will never discover
something that will disprove a single word of the Quran.
Whether it's in general terms or specifics,
as a caution, we as Muslims should not try and tailor the ayat and
interpret them to match whatever the new fashion or hypotheses or
theories, okay, Today scientists are talking about this. Let's see,
oh, God, this is what occurred because those things get proven
wrong. And then you said, well, then how are you going to justify
this? Is the Quran wrong? No, the theory was wrong, you matched it
in appropriately so don't go into too much of that.
Now, in spite of all of this evidence, there are some people
who will never believe Allah subhanaw taala says in Zelina,
alagille Kitab Allah NASA Bill Huck, from an Feminista for the
NFC woman de la for in nama delu, Allah wa Taala him we were key.
Allah subhanaw taala says, Verily We have sent down to you or
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam, this book the Quran for mankind,
for the guidance of mankind in truth. So Whoever accepts the
guidance, it is for his own self for his own benefit, you're not
doing anyone else a favor. And whosoever goes astray, he goes
astray for his own horn on loss. And you are Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi salam, you are not our key. You are not a trustee or disposer
of a pharaoh keeper of these people, if they don't believe they
don't believe your job is to convey the message. So we have
conveyed the message in short, within the timeframe that was
allotted of highlighting some of the miraculous nature of the
Quran. The Quran itself is a eternal living miracle that was
given to the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam, and those
who have believed are fortunate that we have it now.
To show gratitude to Allah subhanaw taala for it, what should
we do?
Read it, understand it, reflect on it, ponder on it obey.
Right?
And never have a doubt. Have you ever heard a book that starts?
Have you ever seen a book but there is no author? Open the Quran
is who's the author one time I give somebody who's there's no
author? I said, yeah, there is an author. But he doesn't write down
by because He is the Creator. Which book ever starts by saying
there Likkle Kitab larae Buffy This is the book in which there is
no doubt
that's audacious because when the Allah can make those statements,
that's how the Quran starts.
So have no doubt you
But if the Quran is kept in a closet or on a shelf and never
opened, even Muslims will benefit from.
So inshallah we ask Allah subhanaw taala to accept this
gathering, in which we have highlighted some of the miracles
of the greatest miracle, which is the Quran, and there are many more
that you can look into. But the most important thing is to read
the Quran for its guidance, for its laws, for its healing of the
hearts for its mercy,
and for the path that it gives us to the pleasure of Allah subhanaw
taala the path if we take an adult that seriously, Allah will give us
a life that is beautiful, that's full of mercy and rough Maya and
tranquility, we will not be stressed, we will not be
depressed, we will not be suicidal.
Because we know the path we are on is the right path. And ultimately,
when we leave this existence to the next we will meet Allah
subhanaw taala where he will be pleased with us and we will be
pleased to meet you. May Allah smart Allah make us among those
who listen and obey who believe without doubt in every word of the
Quran, and every message of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
salam that he left us in addition to the Quran, may Allah subhanaw
taala make us among those who listen and obey and who do their
best to worship Allah subhanaw taala as he only deserves Spanish
