Mufti Menk – The Unique Book – Without A Doubt

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

So right at the beginning of the Quran,

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

Allah talks about the fact that you shouldn't

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

doubt the Quran. Where there is doubt, there

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

cannot be healing. Where there is doubt, there

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

will never be hope. So Allah concentrates on

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

the issue of

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

no doubt.

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

This book, there is no doubt in it.

00:00:21 --> 00:00:24

It is authentic. It is absolutely

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

correct.

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

Allah says

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

In a translation,

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

we could say there is no doubt in

00:00:33 --> 00:00:37

it. There is guidance for those who develop

00:00:37 --> 00:00:37

taqwa.

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

And

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

just to recap

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

with what you may know, taqwa is to

00:00:43 --> 00:00:47

develop the consciousness of Allah, developing the correct

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

relationship with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. That is

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

taqwa.

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

So when we say there is no doubt

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

in this book and there is guidance in

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

it for those who have taqwa, it means

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

if we try to develop the correct relationship

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

with Allah, that is the only time we

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

will be able to benefit from revelation

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

and from our relationship with Allah.

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

How will I know what Allah wants from

00:01:10 --> 00:01:13

me if I haven't read the Quran? And

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

how will the Quran impact upon me if

00:01:15 --> 00:01:18

I am not interested in developing the correct

00:01:18 --> 00:01:19

relationship with Allah

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22

or becoming conscious of Allah? So these are

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23

all interconnected

00:01:23 --> 00:01:23

matters.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:28

Remember that your taqwa is closely connected to

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

how you are with the Quran.

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

Your guidance is closely connected with your relationship

00:01:34 --> 00:01:37

with Allah and your search for guidance. So

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

continue searching and continue

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

pushing yourself to do the right thing.
