Mufti Menk – Rhyme And Rythm Of The Quran

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

			Something very unique is that
		

00:00:02 --> 00:00:05

			in the short sharp verses of there
		

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

			is a rhythm.
		

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

			It's not poetry,
		

00:00:10 --> 00:00:11

			but at the same time,
		

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

			it's somehow, you find the ending of the
		

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15

			verses rhyme.
		

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

			And suddenly,
		

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

			it changes.
		

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

			Why does it change?
		

00:00:21 --> 00:00:23

			That's a that's a gem. That's a gift.
		

00:00:23 --> 00:00:24

			That's a miracle. Subhanallah.
		

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

			Nowadays, you have a Quran, and you can
		

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

			look for it, you will find it in
		

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

			the bookstores.
		

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

			You have a Quran where they use a
		

00:00:31 --> 00:00:32

			color code,
		

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

			known as the topical
		

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

			Quran, where they have the topics of the
		

00:00:36 --> 00:00:39

			Quran, the topic that's discussed in a different
		

00:00:39 --> 00:00:41

			color. So you have pink, and then and
		

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

			then green shows that the topic has changed,
		

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

			and then blue shows that the topic has
		

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

			changed, and at the bottom they write for
		

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

			you what the topic is. It's beautiful, it's
		

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

			excellent. I actually have a copy of it,
		

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

			and I like to read it because it
		

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

			helps me, even though I know the Arabic
		

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

			language and so on, but it just feels
		

00:00:56 --> 00:00:57

			so good because it's a miracle of the
		

00:00:57 --> 00:01:00

			Quran. And you will notice when the rhyming
		

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

			comes,
		

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

			as soon as the rhythm changes, it's a
		

00:01:04 --> 00:01:07

			new topic. That's Allah's gift. Subhanallah.
		

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

			You know, like for example, and I'm going
		

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

			to give you this example, I've cited it
		

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12

			in the past, but let me make mention
		

00:01:12 --> 00:01:13

			of it.
		

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

			Do you hear how it ends?
		

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

			You heard
		

00:01:33 --> 00:01:34

			Did you hear it? All ended quite similar.
		

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36

			And suddenly you hear,
		

00:01:41 --> 00:01:44

			different. Why? The topic has changed completely from
		

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

			1, these were the instructions to Muhammad
		

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

			and so on, and now Allah is reminding
		

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50

			you of the day that the trumpet will
		

00:01:50 --> 00:01:51

			be blown.
		

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

			Allahu Akbar. Then Allah says,
		

00:02:11 --> 00:02:14

			New topic, new subject, Allahu Akbar. And these
		

00:02:14 --> 00:02:16

			are the verses of the Quran, but how
		

00:02:16 --> 00:02:18

			many of us would know that the topic
		

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19

			has changed? We've just read it and we
		

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

			carry on and that's it. And it stops
		

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

			there. These are the gifts of Allah
		

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26

			The people of Makkah, who were the most
		

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

			eloquent,
		

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

			they turned to Islam because they understood what
		

00:02:29 --> 00:02:32

			was happening. They knew, subhanallah, they knew that
		

00:02:32 --> 00:02:34

			this is the correct religion. They knew the
		

00:02:34 --> 00:02:36

			message is correct.
