			So the Prophet sallallaahu Salam is reciting the verses For example, either Shem Zuko
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:51
			Whoa, what happened there? Let me tell you what happened. The kuffaar of Makkah used to say don't
listen to this Quran. Don't listen to it. What Carla levena kuffaar Ola Tessmer only had that one
photo and movie and I let them totally Moon, the kuffaar used to say do not listen to this Quran,
don't listen to it at all and make noise when it is being recited. So that you may overcome so that
you may be victorious. You may overpower these people, they knew that the Quran has some power, it's
a divine power, it's the word of Allah subhanho wa taala. So immediately you find when the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam would recite a verse, they would take their fingers and put them into their ears.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			And this was something they used to do.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:01:33
			Put them into their ears. But the beauty of it is, as soon as they took their hands up towards their
ears, the first was over too late. The verse is over, because I hear either shampoo and I lift my
hands up by the time I put them in, it's already cool, weird is already recited so I put my fingers
in. So it gives me an opportunity to think Allahu Akbar. Now my ears are closed. And I'm busy
thinking whoa, I just heard either Sham. So cool. If that means one day, this is what's going to
happen to the sun. And I've just heard this and then I think, okay, it's over. Let me put my fingers
down. So I put my fingers down while a then.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			So what happened?
		
00:01:38 --> 00:02:21
			It's over. By the time I put my finger hands down. When I want to lift it up again what happens? The
entire verse is recited, complete, gone, finished, and my ears, my ears are blocked once again, and
it's giving me a moment to concentrate. So it's a miracle of Allah who nobody could have ever
thought that such a short sharp verse would actually be us to the deepest point of the heart.
Subhanallah look at remarkable cartography, Allah Han, we're talking of the miracles of the Quran
and the gems in the Quran, he came out with an intention to commit murder. That's what that was.
That was the intention. And he just read short verses of Surah ha ha Ma.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:03:08
			Are we have not revealed this Quran to you, oh Muhammad salallahu Salam, in order for it to be a
point of distress for you or in order that you fail and so on, you know, you become Shakti or so
that you are saddened and so on. No, the Quran is there in order to elevate you, like Allah says, in
Latin Kira tell me of SHA it is only but a reminder for those who are conscious of Allah who fear
Allah subhanho wa taala. So if you're not conscious of Allah, they won't be a reminder for you in
that Quran. If you want to be reminded you need to have consciousness you need to have the fear of
Allah in you. You need to understand that the competition around us of materialism is short lived
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:49
			Wallahi if Allah has blessed you Alhamdulillah you work hard and you thank Allah but you do not let
that make you forget your main purpose in life. Subhanallah you are meant to be fearing Allah
Subhana Allah to Allah. May Allah subhanho wa Taala strengthen us all. So Omar Tabata, the Allahu
Anhu read the first few verses and he began to cry, his heart was shattered, meaning the heart heart
crumbled and softened, so much so that he says, Take me to Muhammad salallahu Salam and you know
what happened to Omar, Barbara, the hola Juan, what moved him few verses of the Quran when he looked
at them with the correct heart, how many of us and this is a cry, we need to continue mentioning
		
00:03:49 --> 00:04:28
			this. We finished hotma upon hotma we complete the Quran so many times, Ramadan, we've done this and
we've done that and wallah here our lives have not changed, not changed at all. And those were the
men they read two three verses and they were known thereafter as the Allahu Allah SubhanAllah. He
was a man who dedicated his whole life thereafter, he was a man who champion the cause he became
known as Ameerul Momineen. A lot the Allahu and today if you have to say the name of Omar, there are
a group of people who will run away May Allah subhanho wa Taala make us from those who can really
elevate the status of Amara bukata to exactly where it's supposed to be.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:05:00
			Now, the Allahu Allah. But what about us, we are living at a time where it's not just a few verses
of surah Taha, but we have access to our phones, we have access to the internet, we have access to
the machinery of the Global Light. We have access to anyone you name him, and you will be able to
listen to a lecture of his online Subhanallah you name him, and yet we are far away from the deep.
We haven't yet changed our bad ways and habits we haven't yet prepared for the day. We are going
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:23
			Need to go into the grave and that could be later on tonight and it could be tomorrow Wallahi so
start doing good deeds let's turn to Allah this is the power of the Quran take a look at an A Joshi
when Jaffa Abi Talib Ravi Allahu and happen to recite a few verses of Surah Millennium garff Hyah ie
you saw God the
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:29
			big loser Carrie is Nadal a bear who needs
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:42
			coffee on me in me what Hannah loves moving me wash the island sushi while I'm a Scooby Doo.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:51
			Economy shanty. These are the verses of Surah Maria and what happens to Anna Joshi he breaks down
		
00:05:52 --> 00:06:15
			he breaks down and he weeps. Subhanallah how many of us we, when we listen to the word of Allah,
this man was a Christian and he wept and his tears are mentioned in the Quran. Allah subhanho wa
Taala speaks about it. What either Semir OMA Uzi, la isla Sunita Da Nang Taffy you mean dinner may
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:19
			or may not have got your guna
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:49
			factor Bernama share Eugene, Allah subhanho wa Taala is making mention of the Christians who cried
who wept and whose tears rolled down their cheeks when they heard the verses of Allah subhanho wa
Taala and they believed in Allah subhanho wa Taala What about us? How many of us would even take the
time to listen to the recitation of the Quran and to be able to be affected by it and impacted by it
yet it is at our fingertips
