Assalamu alaikum my brothers and sisters.

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

In Ramadan, we must try to complete the

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

entire Quran,

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

The messages of the Quran, the surahs that

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

are being read through the days, through the

00:00:13--> 00:00:14

nights,

00:00:14--> 00:00:17

the messages within them are so impactful,

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

so powerful, so serious.

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

You take a look at Surat Al Baqarah,

00:00:22--> 00:00:23

it's named after the cow,

00:00:24--> 00:00:28

but Allah Almighty says those who recite this

00:00:28--> 00:00:28

surah

00:00:29--> 00:00:30

in their houses,

00:00:31--> 00:00:34

Shaipan is unable to penetrate that home, which

00:00:34--> 00:00:38

means, Shaipan or the jinnkind will the negative

00:00:38--> 00:00:41

forces will not enter that home in terms

00:00:41--> 00:00:42

of jinnkind and shayapin.

00:00:43--> 00:00:46

So it's important for us to recite. Just

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

by reciting it, it wards off shayapin

00:00:50--> 00:00:51

and the devils and the jinnkind.

00:00:52--> 00:00:55

Imagine if you knew the meaning and you

00:00:55--> 00:00:56

actually

00:00:56--> 00:00:59

read it with the meaning in mind. How

00:00:59--> 00:01:00

powerful

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

it is.

00:01:02--> 00:01:04

Imagine if you are to read one verse

00:01:05--> 00:01:08

from that entire Surah known as Ayatul Kursi,

00:01:09--> 00:01:11

and you read it 3 times in the

00:01:11--> 00:01:13

morning, 3 times in the evening, that alone

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

creates a barrier of protection

00:01:17--> 00:01:18

around you from

00:01:19--> 00:01:20

a lot of harm.

00:01:20--> 00:01:21

Amazing. Amazing.

00:01:22--> 00:01:24

And the last few verses of the same

00:01:24--> 00:01:25

Surah, Surah Al Baqarah,

00:01:26--> 00:01:27

when read

00:01:28--> 00:01:31

once in the morning, once in the evening,

00:01:31--> 00:01:34

they also have a powerful impact.

00:01:34--> 00:01:36

This is the word of Allah

00:01:37--> 00:01:38

My brothers and sisters,

00:01:38--> 00:01:39

do not underestimate

00:01:40--> 00:01:43

the power of the words of the Quran.

00:01:43--> 00:01:45

This is why when people tell me,

00:01:46--> 00:01:47

I can't read the Arabic.

00:01:47--> 00:01:49

I don't know how to read the Arabic.

00:01:49--> 00:01:51

I'm struggling to read the Arabic.

00:01:51--> 00:01:53

Is it better to read the Arabic or

00:01:53--> 00:01:55

the English? Can I read in a language

00:01:55--> 00:01:56

I know?

00:01:56--> 00:01:58

Can I just read it in English? Let

00:01:58--> 00:01:59

me explain.

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

Even if you don't know how to read

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

Arabic, the power

00:02:03--> 00:02:07

of reciting those words without knowing how to

00:02:07--> 00:02:08

read Arabic, it could have been transliterated

00:02:09--> 00:02:10

or

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

it can be just because you heard something

00:02:13--> 00:02:16

and repeated it without knowing how to read

00:02:16--> 00:02:19

it. All of that is still extremely powerful.

00:02:20--> 00:02:23

It has 10 rewards for every letter

00:02:23--> 00:02:25

that you're going to read. And on top

00:02:25--> 00:02:26

of that, it has

00:02:26--> 00:02:29

a powerful impact on the entire

00:02:30--> 00:02:30

environment

00:02:30--> 00:02:32

around you and your home

00:02:33--> 00:02:33

and your entire

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

surroundings

00:02:35--> 00:02:39

impacted by that. So do not replace it

00:02:39--> 00:02:42

with the English translation alone or something of

00:02:42--> 00:02:45

that. That does not mean it's not important

00:02:45--> 00:02:46

to go through the translation,

00:02:47--> 00:02:49

nor does it mean you should not do

00:02:49--> 00:02:52

the translation and only do the Arabic because

00:02:52--> 00:02:53

that's another problem.

00:02:54--> 00:02:57

Here we're talking about the importance of that

00:02:57--> 00:02:58

power

00:02:58--> 00:03:01

that lies within the word of Allah

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

in terms of protection.

00:03:05--> 00:03:06

It's something amazing.

00:03:07--> 00:03:10

So even if you can't read Arabic, please

00:03:10--> 00:03:12

make an effort to learn.

00:03:12--> 00:03:13

To learn

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

some of what you need to know. You

00:03:16--> 00:03:17

have to make an effort.

00:03:17--> 00:03:20

Read it. Recite it in Arabic without knowing

00:03:20--> 00:03:22

how to read the Arabic language maybe or

00:03:22--> 00:03:23

without understanding

00:03:23--> 00:03:25

the Arabic language. All of that is

00:03:26--> 00:03:28

or it's it's a point. We're gonna get

00:03:28--> 00:03:29

to that just now, but

00:03:30--> 00:03:32

to get that impact, you're gonna need this.

00:03:32--> 00:03:35

You're going to need it. So make an

00:03:35--> 00:03:37

effort. Don't be lazy. And don't come and

00:03:37--> 00:03:38

say, oh, it's very difficult. If I were

00:03:38--> 00:03:40

to tell you that there's something important where

00:03:40--> 00:03:41

you're gonna earn $500,000

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

by the end of the night, you'll spend

00:03:44--> 00:03:47

all night learning that. SubhanAllah, this is far

00:03:47--> 00:03:48

more valuable than that.

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

Now

00:03:50--> 00:03:53

the importance of reading the English language or

00:03:53--> 00:03:54

a language you know,

00:03:55--> 00:03:56

that is

00:03:56--> 00:03:58

equally important in terms of

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

understanding,

00:03:59--> 00:04:01

in terms of connection,

00:04:01--> 00:04:02

in terms of,

00:04:03--> 00:04:05

you know, the rights of the Quran and

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

so on. Yes.

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

So you would be wrong not to make

00:04:09--> 00:04:11

an effort to understand the Quran.

00:04:11--> 00:04:13

Just like you would be wrong not to

00:04:13--> 00:04:15

make an effort to recite the Quran.

00:04:15--> 00:04:16

You would be

00:04:16--> 00:04:20

wrong to to read the Arabic without attempting

00:04:20--> 00:04:21

to read

00:04:22--> 00:04:25

or the meanings of what you're you've recited,

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

if you know what I mean. So both

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

of these things are very very very important.

00:04:30--> 00:04:31

I wouldn't put one above the other.

00:04:32--> 00:04:33

But what I would say is

00:04:34--> 00:04:36

the reward, the the the impact

00:04:37--> 00:04:39

upon your entire surroundings,

00:04:40--> 00:04:43

happens with 1 more than the other. And

00:04:43--> 00:04:46

then the impact upon your entire life

00:04:47--> 00:04:49

would happen with both together,

00:04:50--> 00:04:52

because you're going to need this and that.

00:04:52--> 00:04:54

And in fact, to understand it,

00:04:55--> 00:04:58

according to some scholars is more important because

00:04:59--> 00:05:03

the entire reason why this Quran was revealed

00:05:03--> 00:05:04

was because

00:05:05--> 00:05:07

of Allah wanting you to,

00:05:08--> 00:05:11

was because of Allah wanting you to ponder

00:05:11--> 00:05:13

over its verses.

00:05:14--> 00:05:16

May Allah Almighty forgive us all. May Allah

00:05:16--> 00:05:17

grant us strength.

00:05:18--> 00:05:21

May we be from among those who ponder

00:05:21--> 00:05:21

over the verses.

00:05:22--> 00:05:23

Leave you with a verse,

00:05:24--> 00:05:25

Allah Almighty says,

00:05:32--> 00:05:34

A book that we have sent to you,

00:05:34--> 00:05:36

it's a book of Allah, the Quran.

00:05:37--> 00:05:38

And this book that Allah has sent to

00:05:38--> 00:05:39

us,

00:05:40--> 00:05:41

is blessed.

00:05:41--> 00:05:43

And Allah says,

00:05:44--> 00:05:46

we have sent it to you,

00:05:46--> 00:05:47

the blessed book.

00:05:48--> 00:05:49

Liadabbaru

00:05:49--> 00:05:52

ayati, in order that they may ponder deeply

00:05:53--> 00:05:54

over its verses.

00:05:55--> 00:05:55

Waliatarakaaraolulalabab

00:05:57--> 00:05:59

and for those, who have sound intellect to

00:05:59--> 00:06:00

take heed,

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

ponder over them. That's the purpose of revelation.

00:06:03--> 00:06:05

So that you may ponder

00:06:05--> 00:06:08

deeply over the verses of the Quran. And

00:06:08--> 00:06:10

another quick point, there's no contradiction in the

00:06:10--> 00:06:12

Quran. I've seen a few video clips of

00:06:12--> 00:06:14

some people who don't even know Arabic.

00:06:15--> 00:06:17

Some people who haven't even read the Quran,

00:06:17--> 00:06:19

who are trying to try to prove, oh,

00:06:19--> 00:06:22

there's a contradiction here. Oh, this means this.

00:06:22--> 00:06:24

This means that. Trust me, it's laughable.

00:06:24--> 00:06:26

It really is laughable.

00:06:26--> 00:06:29

You just have to know Arabic language thoroughly,

00:06:30--> 00:06:31

and you have to have studied,

00:06:32--> 00:06:34

the disciplines of the Quran, and you will

00:06:34--> 00:06:36

immediately know what they're saying is just

00:06:37--> 00:06:39

their whims and fancies. They're making themselves feel

00:06:39--> 00:06:42

good by saying that there's a contradiction there.

00:06:42--> 00:06:45

No contradictions. Trust me. 1 of the brothers

00:06:45--> 00:06:45

said something,

00:06:47--> 00:06:49

and I was just thinking to myself, meaning

00:06:49--> 00:06:50

he was not a Muslim, I'm calling him

00:06:50--> 00:06:52

a brother in terms of humanity.

00:06:52--> 00:06:54

And I was thinking to myself, oh, brother,

00:06:54--> 00:06:56

you discovered this after,

00:06:57--> 00:06:59

1400 years. Right? And for 1400 years, people

00:06:59--> 00:07:02

didn't think of this thing. Right? Doesn't it

00:07:02--> 00:07:04

show you that you're totally wrong, man? May

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

Allah

00:07:05--> 00:07:08

protect us, from just the value of this

00:07:08--> 00:07:09

beautiful, powerful book.

00:07:10--> 00:07:12

Alhamdulillah, Assalamu Alaikum.

00:07:10--> 00:07:12

Alhamdulillah, Assalamu Alaikum.
