Muhammad West – Miracles of the Quran #2

			Our learning Machito regime is below man Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa salatu salam ala
COVID mursaleen Sayidina Muhammad noir early or savage mine, cinematic Muhammad liable to Khartoum I
greet you with all the Peace and mercy and blessings of Allah subhanho wa Taala may be upon you
Alhamdulillah or Praise to Allah, Allah, Allah Allah we testify as a witness that none has the right
of worship besides Allah Almighty. We praise Him and we glorify Him and we sanctify him and we thank
him in all times and in all conditions. We asked him in the sacred month of Ramadan, in this holy
hour of the day of Juma, the Friday that He grants us a spike during this global pandemic, it keeps
		

			us all safe and made this pandemic come to an end. I mean, and we send our love greetings and
salutations to all the prophets and messengers of God Almighty Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam to
his pious and pure family to his companions, for those who follow His guidance until the end of
time, will be blessed to be amongst them. I mean, what hamdulillah Al Hamdulillah Praise be to Allah
subhanaw taala that we are once again together in this time of Juma and we continue inshallah with
part B of our CDs that we started last week. And last week, we started the CDs, the miracles of the
Quran, and we see that throughout all times and ages, God Almighty has sent messengers, and he sent
		

			with him signs as evidences and proofs of the of the veracity of the revelation. So for example, he
was a prophet Moses, he was given that, that amazing stick that by the grace of Elijah, become a
snake. And when he struck that at split open, that Jesus Christ Petia behind him, and had the
ability by the grace of Allah to heal the sick and even resurrect the dead, all by the power and the
grace of Allah from themselves. And then of course, the prophets of Salaam, he hammered PC upon him,
he received multiple miracles and evidences and perhaps is a topic for another discussion to look at
all the the miracles of the Prophet peace be upon him. But of course, the greatest miracle, and
		

			really the only miracle that that should concern us is this book, this revelation, because just as a
prophet, he sent he sent with a scripture, and a Lost Planet, Allah mentions that of all the
miracles He has sent throughout the ages, this book, if we were to study it, and analyze it, and we
were to dissect it, we will come to the conclusion that this is not the work of human beings, and
that this is something beyond human intervention. And this is something extraordinary, and that it
is a miracle, in fact, the greatest miracle of all the miracles that he has sent on the beginning of
time. And so we said the challenge for us in the series, is the Quran a miracle, does it meet the
		

			definition of a miracle? And if it is a miracle if we conclude so is it really stack up as Muslims
claiming to be the miracle of all miracles? So that's a very tough ask for us to do in sha Allah.
And I refer back to that definition last week to understand what is a medical and so from a
dictionary. definition, a medical is something which is extraordinary. It is something which cannot
be replicated in something that goes against any natural explanation, something that doesn't conform
to any laws of science, it is out of the normal happenings of what we would expect. And so last
week, we spoke about the Quran from a literary standpoint, just as a book without looking at its
		

			content with it, how is it written, how is it put its themes, its style, its structure. And we
mentioned that, without a doubt, with it being the very first book in the Arabic language, with it
being the most influential book in the Arabic language with it being the most influential book one
of the most influential books of all time, whether you're Muslim or non Muslim, this is its effect,
the beauty of its style in the way that it and the fact that till today, it is studied at the
university level, I mean, this is very few religious scriptures, a part of a linguistic standpoint
is studied, because of its its mastery of the Arabic language. And then of course, we see all of us
		

			and we spoke a lot one of the, the exact and precise usage of words and the way that the sentences
are structured that you can refer to last week, and all of this coming from a man that never in his
life, read a book or audiobook to put together a 600 page book, that alone is a miracle. I mean,
just to have someone that you take someone off the street that has never written anything or read
anything and asked him to compile, you know, a 600 word essay, and you look at the quality of it,
for it to be written at all would be something impressive, but this is a 600 page book and the man
that is said to have authored it, it is known that he has never edited anything and I say there is
		

			no books before he even in the Arabic language to copy from. And so this is a clear miracle
something which cannot be replicated something which goes against natural, the natural law of
things. Today inshallah we'll move on from the linguistic miracles of the Quran and we're going to
look at some of the scientific miracles and some of the prophetic miracle so there are prophecies in
the Quran. Those things come through. And we begin though with the scientific medical. So the Quran
as an introductory note, the Quran is not a book of science, and it is not here to teach us science.
If you had to learn science, we go to a science textbook. But we interestingly, one of the themes of
		

			the Quran is that it brings our attention to certain natural phenomena, philosophy
		

			Allah, God will tell you look at the sky, look at the seas, look at yourselves look at different
things, the purpose of which is to draw your attention that behind these natural phenomena, there is
a creator, these are designer, these an originator. And this will actually lead you closer to, to
God, as one scholar says, sometimes you, you know, you become closer to God, not by watching the
Islamic channel, by watching National Geographic or the Discovery Channel, it actually brings you
closer to God because when you look at the way the world works and the universe's of instruction, it
can only lead you to one natural conclusion that he has to be behind this intelligent design. And so
		

			the Quran will mention scientific points. And many of these scientific points were not fully
understood up until modern times was only really in the last 100 years or so that the science has
caught up to those comments. And we now compare to those scientific mentions of the Quran match
proven scientific facts, and it's amazing how consistent the Quranic scientific comments are with
proven scientific facts, we begin, inshallah, we're going to go through a number of them, and we
will start off inshallah, the first point is the origins of life. One of the great mysteries that
scientists are still struggling in grappling with is how come this little ball that we call the
		

			earth that we live on, seems to be the only place that we can find that has living creatures and
living creatures, it includes the plants, the bacteria, the animals, people, there are many other
planets out there that we know of many stars out there, and rocks and balls of ice and all these
kinds of things. But there is no evidence that we have found as of yet, for the to be life. And in
fact, we we still do not know how to replicate life, meaning when I say life, taking inanimate
objects taking, you know, sand, particles, water, mixing them together and bringing something alive,
we don't know how the system, we can't explain it, we are still trying to figure this out. What we
		

			do know, we do know for sure, that life, the key ingredient, and component of life is water. After
studying how life emerged on the earth, and we looking at the fossils, and we look at for the last 3
billion years, and this is how long life has been on Earth, what we do know for sure, only once
there was liquid water on Earth, could life be sustained. And you know, this was such a point, that
modern astronomers, the biggest objective is to find life out there in space. And when they search
for life, they don't actually look for aliens, what do they look for, they look for water. And they
will tell you we need to find liquid water because that is the ingredient that is the key component
		

			of life, they need to find a planet that is not too close to a star that the water boils and too far
away from the store so that it becomes frozen, we need it to be what they call the Goldilocks zone
where the temperature of the planet is just right, so that you could have liquid water because this
is this liquid water is this magic ingredient that brings about life. And so if we look at the
Quran, oh, and so having understood that, what does the Quran say? The Quran says, Have those who
disbelieve not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joint entity, and then we separated
them. And we made from water, every living thing, all the nothing believe. Now in this first there
		

			are actually two points to miracles. The first one is the heavens and the earth being joined
together and in being separated. And many have eluded to this could be the big bang theory, I won't
go into that discussion, it could very well be the case. We do know scientifically that the universe
and the earth were joined together and then they separated at a point of inflection about 14 billion
years ago, and that is the beginning of the universe. But more precise, what this verse is saying
very, very clearly and effectively. Allah Subhana Allah is saying when john Nam unelma ecola in here
that every living creature on earth, its origin is water. And this is a powerful statement that, you
		

			know, that scientists today, concur that this this is the magic and secret ingredient to life, we
don't know, we don't know much about how life comes about. But we do know water is that ingredient.
So this is a comment made by the Quran, and we know it to be accurate. Moving on, we now want to
look at the the six have a baby. Now if you go back to your biology studies, you will know that for
human beings, there are two chromosomes and X chromosome and a Y chromosome. And the X chromosome
codes for for girls and the Y chromosome codes for a boy in the past and especially in the society
that the Quran was revealed to the Arab, pagan, illiterate backwards society who received the Quran
		

			and this was this is the people that added they very much, you know, look down on girls being born.
In fact, they were so terrible that they buried their own daughters alive. And we'll talk more about
the social changes the Quran brought about to its community. And so, you know, having a daughter was
seen as something shameful, and they would blame the wife, they would blame the mother because of
you. There's something wrong inside of you that you gave birth to a girl but if you were strong, and
if you were a blizzard woman, you wouldn't give birth to a boy. The Quran proves what we now know to
be scientific that the X and Y chromosome comes from the Father. It is the male that will determine
		

			the * of the baby. A female only codes for the X chromosome so really it is the X chromosome or
the Y
		

			chromosomes that all determine the * of the baby. And the Quran says very clearly what? The
Holocaust so Jane is the Carranza and that he, God Almighty is the one who creates the two sixes the
two makes the male and the female mean neuter fighting era tuna from a sperm drop when it is
emitted. So very clearly the Quran is saying that the * and the gender of the baby is dependent on
the sperm. Again, it's something that could be mentioned as you recite it is not a book of biology.
But it's so precise, the wording is precisely the same, you know, very clearly from way the gender
comes from. And we continue, of the perhaps the most extensive scientific points the Quran mentions
		

			is the formation of embryology. And it must be understood that when the Quran mentioned these
things, the microscopes were not invented, telescopes were invented, a test tube wasn't even
invented. seventh century Arabia was a place that was as primitive as idiots, you know, you you
cannot imagine how primitive and backwards it was. And so therefore, these comments are very
interesting. And so embryology, the science of embryology had not even existed, you know, people had
very strange concepts of how the baby developed, and it formed in its mother's womb. And so if you
look at these verses that will come which we'll discuss, it's so scientifically accurate in the
		

			language it uses, that there is no doubt that this is something beyond human intervention, the very,
very first revelation in fact, so if we look at the first verses to be revealed of the Quran, and
we'll talk perhaps more about how the Quran is put together, because it did not begin with once upon
a time and indeed happily ever after it was revealed in bits and pieces. The first revelation was,
God Almighty said he could be Spirit because reciting the name of your own read the first command of
the Quran the fee, the first command of the Quran is read, recite, in the name of your Lord who
created created man from Allah. So the word the Quran uses a very strange word, a word that is not
		

			very common in you know, in the Arabic language at that time, use the word created man from an
unlock and unlock literally if we look at it from a linguistic standpoint, and unlock is something
which attaches itself to something else, something which cleans like something clean to a wall. It
is also the word used for a leech. So it's a leech like structure that clings to something else. So
Allah is saying that
		

			man, one of the processes in which man was created was he was an attack. So let's go further. And
we'll look at another verse of the Quran. And this verse in the 23rd chapter is an amazing verse
that actually goes into very specific detail as to the embryology of a baby. So Allah says from
maharatna, not fact that you begin with this note five, which is the discharge of a man and a woman.
So the first stage is the sexual droplets meet up and they fertilize each other, and they mix
together this called the notebook. So Allah says, first of all, that man began as a sperm drop, then
he forms into an aliquot, the sexual discharge, the zygote, as we call it. Now we know to call the
		

			zygote scientific language. It begins from that point, and then it converts itself into this allok,
which is a cleaning leech like substance, meaning this thing which clings to something else. And we
know for very, very clearly, the first step after fertilization is that the zygote clings to the
uterus of the mother's lining. And again, if you think about what is an embryo and this is not even
called an embryo yet, this structure, what it does is it attaches itself, it embeds itself against
the mother's uterus, and it starts taking from her nutrients it starts, you know, throwing things
from her blood very much like a leech. Even if you look at the picture, if you look at our slides,
		

			and I hope you open the slides is one of those presentations you need to look at the slides. If you
look at the first formation of embryology and you look at a leech it looks almost identical to the
music. So then overseas, we go from the knotfest. Then we go from the Allah for Allah and Allah
Buddha, the next stage is called the Modify the third stage, the Maha. Again, literally, if you use
the word linguistically open the dictionary, it is a lump of chewed up flesh, something which has
been chewed. And if you look at the next stage in embryology, this stage, is where the features of
the embryo begins to form, you begin to see the segments of the spine. In my slides again, you
		

			compare what an embryo looks like at about I think it's 26 days, compared to a chewed a piece of gum
a piece of meat, it looks almost identical, as if you have bite marks in it. And this is exactly
what the word would say is first, then I'll continue. So then we made the the Maha ivam and in the
middle, formed bones, and this is again one of the very, very recent like, like I think 50 years
ago, that has been confirmed that the bones of the skeleton are actually formed. Very early on to
the entire skeleton of the baby is formed within the first few weeks of pregnancy eautiful the
skeleton evolves and it forms over the entire duration. Rather, what happens is the entire skeleton
		

			is formed. You have like a miniature mini skeleton and this is called ossification. ossification is
where the tissues harden to form bones. And so Allah says, once we have this chewed up substance,
let's move on.
		

			It becomes it forms bones FACA Sona and Eva mallamma. Alvin over the bones, it is clothed with with
tissue and with skin, them and Chanel Hulk and after I mean almost after we have covered this, this
bones the entire skeleton with tissue and muscles, it then continues to develop and form. And so
Glory be to God the most perfect of creators. So it mentions these very specific phases that the
embryo goes through. And what is amazing in modern times, this is so precise and accurate, that if
you understand embryology, one cannot deny that the phases that is described and the picture we took
with drawers could not have been understood. You know, you can't even see this without very high
		

			powered microscopes. There was a scientist is still alive, Professor Keith wall, Keith Moore, and I
want more, I want you to actually Google him. He is like, one of the greatest scholars of embryology
is a book that he wrote on embryology was sort of the standard textbook in many universities, the
last couple of decades. And when he was presented with these stages, as described in the Quran, and
it's only on YouTube, you can actually check it out. He's not a Muslim scientist, and when he looks
at it, and he you know, he says very clearly, when I look at the, the way in which the embryo has is
described to have emerged from the Quranic standpoint, there is no way that this couldn't be proven
		

			scientifically, the science the time did not mention any of these things, no book on earth
mentioned, embryo going through these phases. The only natural conclusion of this was divinely
inspired. And so I asked you to actually check Dr. Keith Moore, on YouTube, it's quite amazing as
well, we continue on. Just again, another I mean, passing by we know today, without going too much
in detail, we know that every single person has a unique barcode on them. And that is, of course,
your fingerprints. And that's why today, police the first thing they do is before they even take
your picture, they take your fingerprints because this is a more accurate identification as to the
		

			person. So Allah says to mankind, I have several insano Allah, Nigeria Varma, does mankind think
that we will not re assemble his bones and bring him back on the Day of Resurrection? Do we think
that when we die, and we've been the decomposed and we became dust, and we scattered, and many, many
1000s of years have passed by, there is no way God can bring me back together. So Allah Francis
Bara, surely Yes, indeed, called Irina Allah. And so we have banana, not only will we be able to
bring him back, but we will be able to bring him back to his fingertips to his fingertips. seventh
century, Adams had no idea why Allah says the exact words why would you say to the tip of your
		

			fingers, they of course read it, they believed in it. But we know that when Allah is talking about
the Day of Judgment, the fact that your fingertips or you know, your fingertips are mentioned, it
shows that Allah says to such precision that every single person, the exact pattern or your
fingertips, he knows every single one of us from the first man until the last man, we continue on.
And this time the field of geology. And what's amazing is of course, you looking at these verses,
will go from astronomy to geology to embryology, different fields of science. So Allah subhana wa
tada says, In the Noble Quran, and Have We not made the earth a resting place, and made the
		

			mountains as pigs were stakes inside the earth. So the Quran calls mountains, pigs and steaks that
go deep into the earth. This is what the verse is saying. The Quran indicates that mountains have
deep roots by using the words pegs to describe them. In fact, mountains do have deep roots and roots
and the word peak is an accurate description for them. I've taken a quote the book entitled The
Earth by some geologists, and he explains that this is a modern book that is used by students in
geology. And he explains here that mountains are like stakes and traction uses the word mountains or
like stakes, and are very deep into an embedded inside the earth. For example, Mount Everest, which
		

			is the tallest mountain in the world, it goes nine kilometres above the ground, but in fact, it's
got a route that goes 125 kilometres deep inside the ground. So the fact that the mountains have
roots is something which I don't think any of us most of us knew we look at Table Mountain, we don't
think that deep down in the earth, the mountain has roots similar to a tree. And this is exactly
what the Quran says that the mountains are inside the earth, even more, you know, specific and this
is really a one that stands out Allah says once you fill out the last year and Amida became that
Alesis and we placed within the earth firmly said mountains list it should shift with the meaning
		

			list the Earth would shake, if they want any mountains, the Earth would would shake almost and we
made inside of the mountain passes on the road, so they may be guided. Now the fact that that
mountains cause the earth to be stable is something which is only known in modern science. Only
through the developments of the science of tectonics, we know that the earth is sort of floating,
the ground that we working on is floating on a liquid called a mantle. And so if you think of like
like a ship like planks floating, think of planks on water, and the only way that these planks don't
shift all the time is that the mountains peg them like nails, keep them together like two planks
		

			being held together. These are the
		

			Mountains. And so if I read again from the book, the facts that mountains have deep roots like, and
they claim to the earth from shaking was not only known only at the beginning of modern science that
speaks about plate tectonics and the shifting of the continents, do we understand this. And so the
Quran very specifically very clearly says that had it not been for the mountains, we would have
many, many earthquakes. And as we said, science, modern day science, and the link between that we
continue on to the sky will move from the mountains to the sky, the sky, in fact, plays a very
crucial role in protecting the earth. Our sky has many essential functions, for example, it acts as
		

			a filter, it keeps out armful radiations from the sun, it also acts as a kind of a blanket that
keeps the earth warm and stops it from freezing. One of the areas of science which I enjoy
thoroughly is that of astronomy. And there was a wonderful series on TV about how the the the solar
system have developed how the earth developed. And if you look at why is the life on Earth, going
back to why this life on Earth, and the scientists said, Well, the first thing that you need is you
need liquid water for liquid water, you need certain conditions. One of those, you know, essential
conditions is you need an atmosphere, you need the atmosphere to be there for a number of reasons.
		

			One of it is to keep the earth warm, keeps the heat inside of it, and it protects it from harmful
radiation there is there's a there's a bubble around the earth that deflects harmful radiation. And
and so the sky that we see above us is a actually like a blanket and a protective covering a shell
that keeps us safe. And had it not been the we would not have been life would not have been able to
be sustained on Earth. Now let's look at the Quran. The Quran says watch an SMR. And we made the sky
soccer fan mahfouda a protected ceiling. Well, man, it has more to do. But they to the science to
all the signs we give them, they turn away from it. So almost specifically uses the word being used
		

			here is a ceiling that is protecting you. And if you think of your ceiling, what does it do, it
keeps out certain things it keeps in certain things, it keeps the warmth in it keeps out the
elements. Allah describes the the sky as that now when we look up at the sky, and we are given a
very clear light is no clouds, you would think that there's nothing really it's all emptiness. But
of course, there are many, many layers of protective coverings that Earth has. And therefore,
protective ceiling is a very precise word. And you know, one might just say it's passing comments.
Now, how many of these words would you say I just coincidentally correct. And something you have to
		

			keep thinking about? And put that that definition in your mind? What is a miracle? Someone that
never read a book of science, someone that never wrote anything? Making these comments, and they are
so precise, and they tie up with scientific fact, there has to be something more to it than that.
And the next one is really mind boggling again, for me something which is amazing. And we tell you
something 1929 while observing the sky with his telescope, a scientist, which you all know, most of
you should know who he is. Edwin Hubble is a service a telescope deep inside outside of the earth
and most advanced telescope outside of the Earth is called the Hubble telescope. And it's named
		

			after this gentleman, this astronomer. So Edwin Hubble, an astronomer, astronomer, he discovered
that the stars in the galaxies were constantly moving, he realized that everything in the universe
was moving. And in fact, they are moving away from each other, not towards each other. And so this
is known as Hubble's law. And in analyzing this, he discovered that they are the universe is
actually expanding and expanding at an accelerated rate, meaning it's getting faster and faster the
universe is like so one way to make you understand this. It's like blowing a balloon. So if you have
a balloon, and you put little dots on it each.is, a star or galaxy, and as you blow the balloon, the
		

			balloon gets bigger, the dots get further and further away. That is basically what's happening to
the universe. Now, throughout the history of mankind. No one ever theorized that it's possible that
the universe was getting bigger, everyone thought that perhaps it's static, or it must make sense
that it should actually be shrinking and coming in because of the force of gravity, everything gets
pulled together. And so this was such a revolutionary discovery, that it would have actually won the
Nobel Prize for astronomy, he won a Nobel Prize. He got the telescope named after him because he
proved that the universe is expanding. One of the scientists of today's famous scientist Stephen
		

			Hawking, but one of you should know him. He wrote a book A Brief History of time, he sees the
discovery that the universe is expanding was one of the greatest intellectual revolutions of the
20th century. Now let's look at the Quran. What does the Quran say? Usually in the Quran, Allah will
speak about the heavens and the earth, the heavens and the earth and we created the heavens and the
earth they appear together. There's a very interesting verse with the with the earth is not
mentioned Allah says was summer and the heavens may now be alien. We construct it with great
strength, meaning the earth took a lot of not to it didn't take any effort from the last part. But
		

			the earth was constructed with a lot of power and might inside of it, what in law musi own, and we
are even expand the meaning of the word is in the present tense. We are currently
		

			spending it. And it indicates lamouchi on what in Allah musuem. From a linguistic standpoint, we are
surely expanding it continuously. So very specifically Allah saying the heavens is a mighty
creation, it is huge, it is massive, and it is being expanded continuously. Again, this is a very
precise word that is being used something which got Edwin Hubble in 1929, a Nobel Prize, I think the
telescope should be named the Mohammed telescope because it was seventh century prophet that had no
access to any kind of telescopes. I don't think even spectacles were invented in the seventh
century, to comment that the earth the that the universe, rather, the sky is expanding continuously
		

			is something very unique, we move on, and we continued on with astronomy, the orbit of the sun. So,
seventh century atoms and and for most of humanity, you know, we believe that we will send out the
universe, and that we are stationary, and that the sun, the moon, and the stars, they rotate around
us, you know, we are the center of the world, this is human ego. And then, along came came a few
scientists like Nicholas Copernicus, Galileo, when they invented the telescopes, they realized Hold
on, we are not we are the ones moving and the sun is fixed. And so then modern science moved on and
said, and in fact, Galileo was persecuted was executed by the by the church, because this was
		

			blasphemous talking, you say that the earth is not the center of the universe. And he was forced to
to recant and pull back his comments. We know for a fact that the sun around the Earth goes around
the sun. And so therefore, it was the belief in modern science up until very recently, that the sun
is static, it does not move, and that the Earth moves around the sun. And so the Quran which had a
verse, you know, 1400 years ago, it says what sharpshooter God was the karela at the sun rotates,
the sun moves in its orbit. So the movie follows us around it's another verse, a lie saying that the
sun moves according to its its direct trajectory, it moves according to its orbit. People say that
		

			all this is clearly a an indication of the Quran is incorrect, that it believes that the earth that
the sun moves around the Earth, this is not the case, that that the Quran is saying that the Sun and
the Moon and the Earth, all these heavenly bodies, they have an orbit of their own. We know now, you
know, in the last 100 years or so that in fact the sun is also moving as the Earth and the Moon is
moving, the sun is moving around the galaxy, the galaxies like a disk and the sun is moving around
the galaxy, it also has its own orbit. Now very precisely a lie saying that the the sun, a cool
movie Falcon is behind that every single thing in the universe is moving according to its own orbit,
		

			including the sun. And in fact, the sun is moving so fast, a ridiculous number 720,000 kilometres
per hour. So at the end of this lecture, the sun has been a sun has moved almost a million
kilometres, that's how fast the sun is moving and this is a reason for it to have been mentioned in
the Quran is something ridiculous 1400 years ago, we move on to due to the miracle of iron, iron,
this very common element that you find in in the Earth's surface is found all over the world and is
so essential for life. So essential for for for industry.
		

			When scientists you know analyze the formation of iron, they realize that it requires so much heat
and pressure that the ground could our earth does not have the capacity our earth the ground itself
does not produce enough pressure for iron to form we cannot form iron naturally on Earth at all. The
only way I am actually formed Sweden I inform it forms in the heart of a star, a star has the amount
of heat and pressure to actually create iron. And so with all the iron come from how does how do we
have so much irony on earth if the earth itself could not produce any, any iron. The the standard
position of astronomers now or scientists is that it is a must have crashed onto the earth through
		

			falling meteors and comets that crash into the earth before the atmosphere was was fully formed. And
these these rocks that fell into the earth seeded the earth with iron. Now we move to the Quran.
Allah subhanaw taala says, We have already sent our messengers with clear evidence and sit down with
them scriptures and the balance that people maintain the affairs and maintain the affairs in justice
we send on this and he says Allah says what ends then there what ends and Al Hadid and we sent iron
down to the museum I am now in fact the for much of the historians and the scholars of the Quran for
last 1400 years. They struggled with us first they could not understand the Quran that is very
		

			precise in its word usage. Why would Allah say we seen iron down very similar to rain? The same way
Allah describes the rain coming down? He describes I am coming down to the earth. They couldn't
understand it and the only way to explain it they said well, it shouldn't be understood literally it
should be understood that it's a blessing and a blessing is being said
		

			down, we know now that this is literally correct that the iron we have deep inside the earth
actually fell to the earth and was sent to it from outer space. And this is, as I said, one of the
modern miracles of science, we move on. Lastly, from a scientific and there are many, many more, but
just due to time, we move on to to the oceans. Now, another recent discovery with regards to oceans
is that two bodies of water so and in Cape Town, we're very fortunate we live in a very unique place
with two oceans meet the Atlantic and the
		

			Atlantic and the Indian Ocean, Meteor at Cape Town. And on a clear day, you can actually see the two
oceans very clear, there is a line that separates them, it's amazing that you can see on the one
side, one ocean and the other side, the other ocean, usually, if we will take two glass of water,
one will surely want to actually put them together, we would assume that they mix and we can see the
difference. We know now that even though these two massive oceans or perhaps even more clearly,
clearly, when you see an river and an ocean and a sea meeting, one being salty, one being clear, one
being warmer, one being colder, these two bodies of water, they don't mix me is actually a barrier
		

			between them, the Quran speaks about this, it is us released the two seas, one fresh and one sweet,
one salty and one butter. And we placed between them a barrier prohibiting them from from mixing
that a partitioning barrier between them. This is a very, this is very accurate when you look at and
we can go when lockdown is over, you can go to two k points when the two oceans meet. And then you
can think of this verse is very specific in the way the Quran describes it. And even even more
specific, even more amazing, knowing the fact of the Prophet peace be upon him, Hammad left in the
desert, and there is no account of him ever going to the sea and the closest seas that he he never
		

			went to the Red Sea. And in fact, there is no phenomena in that region with two oceans or two bodies
of water of different salinity mix. So temperature mix, where you can see this phenomena happening.
The fact that it's hot in the Quran, again, is is no way to explain it, except that it must have
been divinely inspired. So we mentioned about, you know, seven or 10 different scientific hints that
the Quran puts out, and how accurate and how correct they are from a scientific standpoint. Again, I
repeat the Quran is not a book of science, it's not used to teach you science, but all of that which
in mentions of science is very, you know, uncanny in how correct and accurate is, for someone 1400
		

			years ago, we we did not have the basic instruments of technology, and against someone who had not
read a book in his life, whether written a book in his life, to put these comments and getting them
so correct, that we could only put prove now, you know, in the last 100 years, the last few years,
even the scholars of old Islamic scholars, you know, 500 years ago struggled to understand these
these comments, because the science just had not caught up with it. The conclusion must be again,
way they come from it. Is it really feasible. Is it really possible that someone without any
scientific background could put this in and be so quick and so accurate, or was he divinely
		

			inspired?
		

			inshallah we continue
		

			with some of the prophecies of the of the Noble Quran.
		

			And we might perhaps we'll continue with more than next week, as we running out of time here. But I
just want to introduce the Quran, like like the previous books of Revelation, the book, you know,
the the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Torah seem to Prophet Moses, one of the signs and the evidences
for people was that God Almighty, who has knowledge of the future and the past in the future,
comments on certain events that would occur and of course, these events then came to being very
precisely as the Quran as as the scriptures had mentioned in the Quran, as well puts a number of
these, these prophecies into effect and and we'll speak about some of them today inshallah we'll
		

			continue next week. So the first one is the protection of the Quran from corruption. It is now you
know, you you can know for a fact that of all the religious scriptures on Earth, all the sacred
texts, and there are many religious religions, and they have the scriptures, there is no religion on
earth. And this is a fact. You can Google this, you can search it, there is no scripture on earth
that is as authentically preserved, and as accurately preserved as the Quran 1005 or 1.5 billion
Muslims across the whole globe. And they only have one version of the Quran, one exact same
authentic copy of the Quran, there is no doubt in its authenticity, and when the Quran was being
		

			revealed, so you can choose either it is being revealed from God or it's being authored by a man in
the middle of the desert. And these are there are a number of verses and this is repeated many times
in the Quran. The Quran says in the Quran, Allah Allah, the Quran says, it is we ourselves we are
the ones who have gradually revealed this reminder of this great this Quran to you. And it is We Who
shall true
		

			recorded and preserved, we will preserve it for all times it will be preserved for all times it will
not be forgotten, it will not become lost, it will not be changed. Now, if all other religious
scriptures or texts, they have been changed and altered these debated on its authenticity, which
verses go in which was go out. And these were in the hands of very educated very highly skilled
scholars and historians and theologians, and they struggle to determine what is the original Bible
Bible which scriptures are in which comes out the original Torah, the original Vedas. The Quran says
we will please we will reveal this book and equally remain preserved until the end of time it will
		

			not change it will not be it will not become outdated. As we said, what was amazing is that the
Arabic language has not been able to shift because the Quran escaped static. This is a powerful
promise that we see today is still happening. The fact that the Quran has not been changed at all
and cannot be changed. The Quran also says quote according according to sadhana, analytic
refoulement Allah says we've made the Quran very easy to be memorized, so who of Who of you would
take it to heart We know that the Quran 600 pages is perhaps the only book on earth that is
memorized so extensively by heart many 1000s of people around the world, many hundreds of 1000s of
		

			people perhaps even have memorized the entire Quran, verbatim. And many of them in fact, not even
understanding the Arabic language. And they can recite it to you by memory, 600 pages, some some
people as young as six years old, two people as old as 70 have memorized this book. You can seek
online, it's not very uncommon, in fact, in Cape Town, for us, as a Muslim community, we're very
small, very tiny, but we produce some of the best Quranic memorizes in the world, many times
capetonians and South Africans in fact winning global competitions. And this is something unique and
amazing with an only someone that has studied a bit of Arabic so if you look at you get Arabic
		

			poetry, you get Arabic, Proverbs you even get you know, Arabic statements, sermons of the Prophet
peace be upon him, and then you get Quranic Arabic. It is just so easy to memorize a Quranic text,
you can memorize it and it stays with you, it sticks with you, even the words of the Prophet peace
be upon him. And of course, this is the word of a man, where's the Quran is the word of God. It is
unique, you can see it's a different style. If you were to memorize a page of prophetic narrations,
it's very, very difficult. But to memorize the Quran is really simple. It's very easy. And we have
kids as young as you know, as young as five, six years of memorizing the whole book 600 pages and
		

			this is a is a miracle. The Quran says it is easy to memorize, and it will it's something which
people will do. The last prophecy and there's more to come for next week is a chapter as this
chapter in the Bible, a chapter Romans, the Quran also has a chapter Romans, the fifth chapter of
the of the Quran. And the Romans take a bit of history in seven, in 1400 years ago, there were two
mighty superpowers
		

			alive at the time, the assassinated Persian Empire in the east and the Roman Christian Byzantine
Empire of the West. And these two empires like empires do, they were constantly fighting and
battling each other. And when the Quran was being revealed at the you know, it's early revelation as
it started, the there was a massive defeat, the Romans suffered a severe defeat against the Persians
		

			that the Persian emperor was so successful in defeating the Romans let it appear that the Romans
were on their last legs, they were on the verge of being annihilated completely, they lost Damascus,
they lost
		

			all of their activities in the Middle East, even the you know, the, the the sacred the holy city of
Jerusalem, and of course, the Christians. It is the holiest city in the world. Jerusalem was
captured by the Persians. And so the enemies of the Romans had even reached the walls of
Constantinople. We this was the way the Emperor was he was almost captured. And so it appeared that
Rome was on the verge of its total, it's in the sorcery, it was going to end. And so I mentioned
this, when the Quran says, will fit room that the Romans have been the Romans have been defeated in
a land close by Vietnam. And then it says though, and this is the prophecy, it says, The Romans have
		

			been defeated in a land close by Admiral Artois, whom in the hanabi him Sally boon fee be there is
in in that in spite of this defeat overseas, very soon, within a few years, they the Romans would
defeat the Persians that exactly puts a limit it says between between three and nine years, the
Romans would counter and they would defeat the Persians. And then it goes further. If the Quran says
And on that day, the date of the Romans will have this great victory, the believers will rejoice
themselves because of something which happens. Now this verse is very specific. You know, in there
was a book called The Rise and Fall of empires. It says that there was at this point, no indication
		

			that the Romans would ever have survived this defeat. That in fact, to pay the soldiers the Romans
had to actually
		

			take the jewelry and take the the the the ornaments of the church and melt the gold and pay the
soldiers
		

			Just but yet within a within eight and a half years from the from when this verse was revealed, as
the Quran says before nine years is up, the Romans will counter and defeat the Persian and that's
exactly happened eight and a half years after this, this verse was revealed, at at least the emperor
of Rome, you know, he had a string of successful victories where he not only defeated the Persians,
but he claimed everything that was lost as one of the most significant comebacks of all time. And
then at the exact same time that the Romans defeated the Persians to the day, the the Muslims in
Arabia, so the believers of the Muslims, they were persecuted, they were expelled from their homes,
		

			and the the enemies of the Prophet peace upon him, the first the first war between the Muslims and
the enemies occurred, and the Muslim one a base uprising victory against an enemy which was much
greater. The Muslim stood that would be defeated among the non Muslims, the enemies of the Prophet
peace upon him, whether they would defeat the Muslims. And so the Muslims won the first battle, and
the victory of the Muslims coincides with a victory of the Romans. And so this verse says exactly
that, it says that the Romans will come back they will defeat the Persians and when they defeat the
Persians, the exact same time the Muslims will celebrate their own victory. And so this as we said,
		

			was revealed about nine years before the fact and there is absolutely no way that anyone could have
predicted these two victories happening and the fact that would happen simultaneously, something
which I cannot explain other than to say that it is from being from a divine source there are about
five six more prophecies that we can talk about. Our time is up however, and inshallah next week
will continue about prophecies of the Quran and some other points about the Quran that makes it
miraculous. We'll look at the themes and the message of the Quran. What does it talk about, and when
we hope inshallah I pray that this is as being beneficial and May Allah guide us to the truth all of
		

			us we are only searching for the truth, my God Almighty guide guide me guide you guide all of us, to
him and to his love and to his mercy and His grace may forgive us and bless us and grant us all the
goodness in this life. And we will be in paradise together in the year after Thank you so much.
