Muhammad West – Miracles of the Quran #3

			I was relying on a sheet on regimes Valera Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa salatu salam ala
Sayidina Muhammad not only he was a big Marine, my beloved brothers and sisters, I said I want a

guidance of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam in this life and his companionship in the life after amin
Al Hamdulillah. Al Hamdulillah, we continue with part three of our series the miracles of the Quran,
and we try to analyze the Quran in the series to determine Is it a miracle? is its origins divine?
Or is it just a book of human production? Is there any evidence to show that it is something that we
should believe, and it's a sign for for mankind? As we going through the analysis of the Quran, we
		

			began Firstly, two weeks ago looking at the Quran from a linguistic standpoint. And we concluded
that you know, and this is corroborated by the greatest minds in the Arabic language of the last
1400 years, even many Arabs who are non Muslim who don't believe it as a as a divine book.
Undoubtedly, it is the most prolific, the most profound, the most influential book in Arabic
language, no book in the Arabic language has had a great influence in the Quran, we know that it is
a literary masterpiece, its style, its themes, its usage of Arabic language is of the highest
authorship, and it is still studied at the tertiary level in universities across the world. And so
		

			there's no doubt that the Quran is a masterpiece from a linguistic standpoint. We then also looked
at the Quran last week in terms of what we'll call the scientific miracles of the Quran. Now, the
Quran is not a book of science, it doesn't talk about principles and laws of science, you don't
learn science from the Quran, it does draw your attention to the natural phenomena. And it gives
very interesting comments as to how nature works. And in those comments, and in those analogies of
the Quran, users are so precise that it could not have been known 1400 years ago, any describes
natural phenomena that will very, very clearly only discovered in recent times, for example, the
		

			expansion of the universe, the phases of the embryo as it develops the mountains, keeps the earth
from shaking with the sky protects people on earth, and so many other things that we discussed last
weekend. So these comments, how do we explain them? Wow, could they possibly have been put in there
by coincidence? And so that is another very interesting genre of the Quran that you look at. And we
we need to ask ourselves, how is this possible? And as we mentioned at the beginning of the series,
we have to keep that definition of a miracle in mind, is this possible? Is it reproducible? Is it
something that goes according to logic and rational science? Or is it something beyond the norm? And
		

			so so far, as we said, from an acoustic standpoint, the fact that it's the first book in the Arabic
language, so many scientific facts that were impossible to know, 1400 years ago, we need to ask
ourselves, is this possible, we then also began and will continue with a certain prophecy. So the
Quran Of course made certain prophecies, events that would come through in the future, and those
events did come to pass. And so we began we spoke about very boldly, very confidently, the Quran
says that this book will not be corrected as we believe Muslims believe that God Almighty sent a
number of revelations in the past, he sent the devil to Nabil Moosa is in the Psalms as opposed to
		

			every doubt. I mean, he seen the Gospels to be easier to Jesus. And these books were not meant to be
preserved. It was God's intention that he would seen revelation after revelation, and he would seem
to different times and places a new revelation for its people, but this could on Gods it was
pantalla audain. With this will be the final testament. It's the last testament that God isn't going
to see any more revelations. And so he says, in that naturalism ethical, or in Allah will be the one
that really indeed we sent down this book, the reminder, and we'll protect it and preserve it until
the end of time, they will be no fabrications, there'll be no doubts as to its authenticity. And as
		

			we mentioned, this is the only religious scripture, we we know with 100% certainty that there is no
doubt there is no issues around authenticity. This is the version This is the carbon copy of what
was revealed to the Prophet peace be upon him. And we know that because the book has been committed
to me, many, many millions of people over the years have memorized this book from beginning to end.
And as we go back in time, and we discovering new manuscripts I mean, I think just a few months ago,
a v v old perhaps the oldest manuscript of the Quran was discovered in a museum in Europe, and we
will compare those very old manuscripts the oldest manuscripts that date only a few years after the
		

			death of the Prophet peace be upon him. They are a perfect match.
		

			Not even we would say close matches are a perfect match to the current that we have, whether it's in
China, whether it is in America, it's perfectly to one, there is no second version of the Quran. And
this is something that we should not take for granted because no other religious scripture can claim
this level of authenticity. For most of the walls, if not all the scriptures of a religious nature
throughout the world, we have to take it with a pinch of salt and say, Look, the original one has
been lost. And over time, it has been recreated and reproduced. And over time, things have gone in
and been taken out. For example, if you look at the Catholic Bible has seven more books in the Old
		

			Testament, then the Protestant Bible if you compare the Greek Orthodox to the Ethiopian Bible, so
there's many versions of the of the Bible, and it has been, you know, it evolved and parts and
chunks are taken out and added to it. And so this kind of uncertainty, you know, all the religious
books have this level of uncertainty, the Quran does not have it. And what is amazing is that edits,
edits revelation, while it was being developed, it made a very bold statement, he said, This thing
will stand the test of time and it will be unchanged forever. And he has done so the 1400 years. We
also another very interesting point, the Quran said what are called as of now called early victory
		

			for Halloween with decades of the Quran says that this book will be very easy to memorize, it will
be very, very easy to to be committed to memory. So who is willing to take it to heart, we know that
without a doubt, this book is the most memorized book in the world. The honor is, you know, there
are very few books in the world where people memorize it verbatim. This book, which is like 600
pages, so it's quite a lengthy book, we have 1000s, if not hundreds of 1000s of people across the
world and millions over the last 1400 years that has memorized it eight to eight to eight, and by
verbatim and what's also amazing is that the vast majority of these memorizes and recitals of the
		

			Quran, are not native speakers of the Arabic language and in fact they don't even understand the
Quran from it's in Arabic. And so they are reciting and memorizing a book that has become made easy
for them. And yet they don't understand the language. And this is something you know, it's a medical
on top of a medical that just to memorize a book verbatim is difficult. I mean, again, ask yourself,
what are the book in the world has been memorized completely at said, and then make it even more,
you know, strange for the memorizer not to understand the single letter but he has memorized it. And
so this is something which the Quran the point of the thing is the Quran has said that it is it is
		

			easy to memorize, it will be easy to be committed to memory. And so it has been. We spoke about the
victory of the Romans coinciding with the victory of the of the Muslims in the first battle. And
this was as was prophesized in the chapter of Romans. We continue on
		

			to the conquest of Makkah and the in the pilgrimage of the Muslims in Makkah. And so a bit of bit of
backstory here something to understand before what as we introduce this, this, this prophecy.
		

			So the Prophet peace upon him, came from a city called myka. And the people of the city rejected him
we didn't follow his his message after 13 years and eventually the Prophet peace upon him and, and
his disciples, his companions had to leave Makkah and immigrate to a city called Medina. And they
weren't there was technically the two cities were at war Medina and Mecca were at war, and the
muscles were not allowed to enter into Makkah. And then the Prophet peace upon him has a dream and
he dreams that he will, that the believers, human, the believers, they would go and they'll perform
a pilgrimage. And they would do so safely and they'll be able to intercede and they will leave
		

			safely. Now, this was you know, unthinkable because they were technically at war with Makkah and any
any of them that the mccanns were captured, they actually killed them. And so the Prophet peace be
upon him nonetheless, if you know this, the dreams of prophets are a prophecy. And so Allah says in
the Quran, Allah has confirmed his messengers vision, with through fuel into the sacred mosque in
Makkah, safely, God willing shaving your heads and cutting your hair without any fear. This is
shaving your heads and cutting your hair is a side note here is his reference to once the pilgrimage
is complete, completed, you would you would shave your head and the verse continues, or God knew
		

			what you did not know. And ordain in place of this an imminent victory. So the Muslims went, they
were unable to perform the pilgrimage as they had hoped. But then they went the following year to
perform the pilgrimage and it fulfilled the vision they came in there was unharmed, they were
unscathed, and the vision the tick's of the currencies, and soon you will have a victory and it
wasn't long after that, that marker itself was consolidated within within Islam. So this is a very
specific
		

			prophecy, you will perform pilgrimage in this way, you will be safe there will be no fighting. And
after that, you will actually have victory over them. And this is exactly what happened. Another
miracle actually this this was a promise not to the Prophet peace upon him but also the promise to
the Prophet Abraham who has actually the the
		

			Founder of the city of Mecca. So, Prophet Abraham, we believe he came to Makkah and he settled his
son Ishmael, in that city and we established that city. And this is in the middle of nowhere, it's
in the middle of the desert. And so God Almighty system of Ebrahim or anything Naseby hunch that
proclaim to mankind that they need to come to this place. I mean, you know, I mean, they meet, they
need to come here, and they need to perform a pilgrimage. And you know, Abraham says, like, you
know, I'm in the middle of nowhere visiting this, there's no civilization here. This is the visit.
And Allah says, you just call you tell them to come to courage. erigeron Allah Cooley Domini Yachty
		

			I'm equally Khalifa genomic, you call them and these people will come from all over the world on
foot. On every lean camel on every mode of transportation, they will come from every deep and
distant mountain highway from every nation, they will come here and they will perform pilgrimage.
Today, we know that perhaps one of the biggest pilgrimages in the world is the pilgrimage to the
sacred house in Macomb. This happens every year. And from every country in the world. Basically, we
have pilgrims that will congregate and will perform this pilgrimage. So this is a promise of the
currencies. They will come from every part of the world and they will perform the pilgrimage here.
		

			So it's an amazing miracle. It's a prophecy that could not have been thought of
		

			both from the time of Abraham and also the time of the prophets of Salaam, which was Makkah was
basically a backwater, unknown city in the middle of the desert in the middle of nowhere. We
continue on, and this is the next prophecy is that of the prophecy of Abu lahab. Abu lahab was the
uncle of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. And he was one of the most vicious enemies of the
Prophet, peace be upon him. And so he rejected the message. And he went out of his way to harm and
abuse the Prophet peace be upon him. And everything the Prophet did, he would do the opposite of
everything, he was the Prophet peace and would say, I would encourage people to do the opposite of
		

			that. And he said, his mission was to, to ruin this religion of Islam and to,
		

			to, to, to, to hinder the Prophet peace upon him in his in his message and to disagree with him. And
so because of this, the Quran has this chapter which is really unique in that he's the only criminal
on the wall a number of criminals that harm the Prophet peace be upon him, like all prophets, you
know, Prophet Musa Hadees, had the Pharaoh, those few of those who tried to kill Jesus Christ specie
upon him. And so every prophet comes, you know, comes with a territory that you will have people
that will harm you. Now, the Quran did something very unique with Abu lahab. It actually named him
in he's named in the Quran is the only one of the criminals was mentioned by name. And he promised
		

			that he would die on this belief. And so the Quran says that Allah is the one that is cursed, and he
will never ever believe and he will die on disbelief. Now in this verse, When this chapter came
down, this was about more than 10 years before Allah had died, and Abu lahab, whose mission was to
destroy Islam, it didn't occur to him that look, if I become a Muslim, then and I embrace this
religion, then obviously this would contradict the Quran. And you would have a chapter that says,
you know, God says, I'm going to die, I'm never going to be a Muslim, and I become a Muslim. And so
then the whole of Islam falls apart. And it's quite strange that I would have never, it never
		

			occurred to him to do this. And so for more than 10 years, this chapter is being recited, I will
hope you're never going to accept Islam, and indeed, he never did. And he actually died on his on
his disbelief and in your, as the Quran had mentioned, this is how he's going to die. That's exactly
how he, how he died. The last
		

			prophecy or, or, you know, for foreshadowing that the Quran mentions is that the Quran says, then if
you're in doubt concerning that which we have sent down to you to our servant, you're in doubt about
the scram, then produce a chapter like it and call your witnesses besides God, if you are truthful,
and if you do not do so and you will never do so, then fear the fire. So this was a challenge of the
Quran gave to the Arabs and he gave to all of mankind. Look, if you don't believe that this is a
book of Revelation, if you believe that this is a man made fiction. When produce something like it,
they bring something similar to it, bring something that has of equal weight, something as
		

			influential, and mean, this would you know, you defeat the Quran, but this challenger stood and God
You know, he emphatically says you will not be able to do this. The challenge has stood for 1400
years, and no one has been able to do it. It is still the greatest book in the Arabic language, it
still holds this really special place amongst all the literature's in the world. And so this is one
of those prophecies that still stands until until today.
		

			The next section we're going to look at is something I call simple evidences. These are basic, basic
evidences you don't have to think about they just are like amazing Wow, how is this possible? And
there is nothing like it some some things about the Quran to stand out and there's no book on earth
that that can replicate an industry God. So the first thing is, you have to accept and understand
that the Quran is the most
		

			Followed or believed book in the world, there are over 1 billion Muslims in the world and they all
believe in the review of the Quran. Now I know many of you would say, but there's more Christians
and Muslims. And indeed that is true. But as I said, as I mentioned earlier, they are different
versions of the Bible. And so you have a Bible for the Catholics, you have a Bible, Protestants, you
have Bible for the Coptic Christians. And so we are different types of Bible. Now, when you, you
know, when you basically split the Christian faith by that by those each by those denominations,
then the the the religious texts that has the most, you know, followers that unanimously agree or
		

			not, this is the religious things in the world that has the most followers. And that is a special
thing. And it's something that is that stance,
		

			you know, in a very prominent position in the wall that this is the most followed to religious
things on Earth. Also, the Quran is currently being read at every single second, it is the most
rabid religious text, how do I know that? Because Muslims, as you should know, have to pray five
times a day. And they pray depending on the position of the sun as we pray to the sun, but rather
than the sun is used as a, as a marker to keep time as as you know, as you saw, as the solar
calendar does as well. And so after sunset is appear before sunrise is a pay off the noon is a pray
five times a day. And so every single Muslim on Earth has to pray five times a day, every single
		

			day. And part of the P and in an integral an integral part of P is to read the opening chapter, the
first chapter of the Quran. And this chapter, pretty short. Interestingly, when God revealed this
chapter, he calls it the Saba muthoni, the seven verses that will be continuously recited. Now, when
it was revealed, we were only like a handful of Muslims, maybe even just two, three, the Prophet and
his and his wife, they were the first believers. And God says, I'm giving you this this chapter, it
is the chapter that will be revealed, will be cited continuously. So now, somewhere in the world, it
is sunset and the group of Muslims that are reciting that chapter, somewhere in the world is
		

			standardized, and the group of Muslims is taking their chapter. So this chapter, the opening chapter
of the Quran, is continuously being recited all the time, every single Muslim more than
		

			one with a billion Muslims memorize this chapter, and in the Arabic language, and really cited five
times, not five times a day, 17 times a day, actually. Because within the pay, you have to be cited
more than once. So 17 times a day, every single Muslim recites this chapter. And it's amazing that
its name is fetch, it is fat verse, the seven verses that will be decided all the time.
		

			Amongst the amazing things about the Quran is as we said before, it is the most memorized book on
Earth, it is the only book on earth that is memorized on this, to this extent, in the 1000s and
hundreds of 1000s. In every single country on Earth, you will find a memorizer that is someone that
has memorized the entire Quran, verbatim, you know, so 600 pages, you can close the book and you can
ask someone aside from this part, that part and the only cited. And what's even more amazing is we
said the bulk of them, don't speak on up native, Arabic, Arabic language. And so something really
amazing. What's also interesting is even those of us that have not memorized the Quran, we make an
		

			effort to memorize parts of it and read as much as we as we can, especially in the month of Ramadan,
most Muslim society, the entire Quran, and we try to read it in the Arabic language. So most Muslims
don't speak Arabic because we're not Arabs. But we read the book and we read a book that we don't
necessarily understand it directly, we obviously have a translation as well. But we understand the
book can only be transmitted in the speech of God, which was in Arabic. And so we ask, Is there any
other book in the world that is read on mass in the hundreds of millions in a language that is not
spoken by those people? And again, you'd asked yourself on the you know, or the English people that
		

			eating you made millions, a book in French or French people in millions reading a book in Chinese?
And obviously, the answer is no. And so this book is a very unique book. What also is obviously what
makes the Quran quite profound, is that it is it has stood the test of time, and it's universal. It
was revealed 1400 years ago, to a backwater Arab world, a group of people that are very different to
the world that we live in today. And yet in today's world, the modern 21st century, we still need
it, we still find deep meaning we still find guidance in it. It relates to people of different
backgrounds, it relates to the you know, the rich can relate to it, the poor can relate to it, you
		

			can relate to it in terms of ease and comfort. And so we this really stood the test of time and so
the author and inverted commas if you can't see me doing live weather commerce certainly was, you
know, one of the great authors of the Walter to produce a book so profound that it's still being
used 1400 years ago. It's very easily for a book with a you know,
		

			any part of any any type of literature or any type of production to fall out.
		

			Have you no favor after a few years or a few decades, this is something which is amazing about the
Quran that it's the universal, the universal, and this of the Quran, and the wait addresses society
and the issues that societies will will confront. It continues throughout the ages 1400 years as
possible. So when you stack all these things up, it is the most memorize book in the world. It is
the most cited book in the world, it is always being recycled, it is
		

			a book that has been has stood the test of time, 1400 years ago, it has gone beyond its original
borders, it has been, it has impacted many, many hundreds of billions of people. One thing obviously
considers that this is one of the great books of humanity it is it is surely an amazing piece of
literature. And you have to accept that. And then again, you say, well, then who was the author? If
you say to Muhammad, it's very difficult to say he's the author, because as we know, we said that he
was completely unlimited. He never read a book in his life, and he wrote a book in his life. So that
can't be the answer, what is the what is the alternative? And in our next section on our section for
		

			today, I will give, you know, very detailed reasons why the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him could
not have written the Quran, they have, you know, very clear, clear indications that he is not the
author. And so, if he is ruled out of the equation, the next question is we ask, Well, if you don't
accept that he is a divine origin, then someone has to provide a another answer as to who the author
is of the Quran.
		

			So our next section is about how the Prophet peace be upon him, homily could not have been the
author. Reason number one, as I say that he that he was Unlimited, that he was not someone that even
learned to read or write, to show you the extent of how, you know how the Prophet was unfamiliar
with a written text was that the Prophet peace upon him entered into a peace treaty with the Mickens
and the same people that tried to stop them from entering in the pilgrimage. And so they had a peace
treaty. And during the peace treaty, it was written, this is a treaty between the people of Makkah,
and Muhammad, the Messenger of God, and the Mackenzie, hold on, we don't recognize you as the
		

			Messenger of God. So remove this messenger of God story from the from the treaty. Now the scribe who
wrote was writing was dictating the terms of the agreement was one of the disciples of the Prophet
peace be upon him. And so when they told the scribe, remove the word, messenger of God, say, this is
between Makkah and Mohammed, this, naturally the disciple said, I'm not gonna remove it, I recognize
I believe he's the Messenger of God. And so the Prophet peace be upon him wanting to, you know,
facilitate the peace process. He said, Give me the pin, show me where it says messenger of God,
because he couldn't read. He said, Show me the paper, when it's all show me the, the the parchment
		

			wasn't paper, obviously, show me where it says messenger of God and I will strike it out. So this is
the how unfamiliar the Prophet peace be upon him was with a written text. And the Quran mentions
this very clearly we could answer is
		

			Mr. Kuhn d'etat looming problem in GitHub is too hot to be comedic. Allah says in the Quran, that
and you did not recite before it Allah says to the Prophet peace upon him, or Mohammed, you did not
recite before it any scripture, you've never really cited the scripture in your life, nor did you
inscribe this book with your right hand. Otherwise, the falsifies who would have had any would have
a cause to doubt if you were literate if you were able to if you were known to have read many
manuscripts and you wrote books before this, we naturally will be assumed that you would have
authored this book. And you know, the Quran continue saying that there are other this Quran has
		

			distinct verses that are preserved within the chests of people of knowledge. And none reject these
verses, except those who do are wrong. So the Quran specifically and very
		

			explicitly says, Muhammad, you have never read a single book in your life and you've written a
single book in your life. The Quran goes you know, further if you if you were to look at the style,
as I say the Quran is a very unique style. It's a very powerful style and it's and it's and its
themes and messages change as the context and you know, as Islam evolved, and we'll talk more about,
about the themes of the Quran as it as it developed, we also have many of the sermons of the Prophet
the way he spoke, the way he loved a lot of it has been recorded isn't in fact, his entire life has
been recorded. He is perhaps the most documented human being in history. We know how we went to the
		

			toilet, we know how he spent his time indoors, outdoors for 2030 years, we know basically every
detail. We even know how many gray hairs he had in his beard. So we know the way he spoke, and we
know the way he gave sermons. And when you look at his speech and his style of speaking, and the way
he gave instructions, it is very, very different to the way the Quran speaks. And you can see the
language is very different. The Quran, as we said, is high, highly arithmetic and it's poetic and
eloquent. The Prophet peace was also eloquent but not on the same level. And for those of us who
are,
		

			you know, studied the tradition
		

			We studied the Quran and we studied the prophets, tradition and his sayings and his sermons. It is
very difficult, for example, to memorize one of the sermons of the Prophet because it's the word of
a man is a human being, yes, he is inspired, but those are his words, God's words. And as the Quran
said, it is easy to memorize, you could memorize, you know, pages and pages of the Quran, but you'd
struggle to memorize a few of the sermons of the Prophet peace be upon him even of the very short,
because the two are not the same source, the one is the origin is divine. And the other one is from
a man, a prophet of God. And so we see the the style of the of the Quran versus the Prophet style is
		

			very different.
		

			And so this is another indication that he is not the author of the Quran. Another powerful example,
you know, for those who are not Muslim, you would assume, okay, Muhammad wrote the Quran, and
therefore, since he's the author, and he claims to be a prophet, of course, if you don't accept him
to your profit, and of course, is a is a false prophet wave a fraud, you would make a lot about the
Quran about himself, he would put yourself in a position of the central theme or central character
of the Quran would be him. In fact, if we look at the Quran, and we just go through some of the main
characters in the Quran, the most by far the most mentioned person in the Quran is the Prophet
		

			Moses, you know, almost 150 times the Prophet Moses is mentioned. And he's works with the children
of Israel, he sees his dealings with Pharaoh, you know, his whole life is documented. We have
Prophet Abraham Petri upon him, he's mentioned 70 times almost in the Quran, Jesus Christ is
mentioned 25 times by names the name Jesus mentioned 25 times. And then when we add, he's titled The
Messiah, the Son of meeting, when it comes to close to 100 times. Now what's amazing is that Mary
herself, the mother of Jesus is mentioned 34 times. So she's actually mentioned more than Jesus by
name, Mary. And there's an entire chapter chapter meeting with ninth chapter of the Quran. She's the
		

			only female mentioned by name in the Quran. So the Prophet missionaries are mentioning his own
mother. I mean, if you were to be the author, why wouldn't he put his own mother or his wife or your
daughter, but he puts the name of Mary and she's the only woman that is mentioned mentioned so many
times we look around, and throughout Mary, in fact, is mentioned more times in the Quran in the
Bible, and something you can check us you might shock you the name Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ
is mentioned more by name in the Quran, in the Bible itself. And so this is an amazing you know, an
amazing thing to consider, as well Muhammad peace be upon him. He's only mentioned five times in the
		

			Quran by name. So, you know, much less than all these prophets and all these other characters, he's
not a main character within the Quran, you see his into he is addressed, you know, he is given
instructions, he has to relay messages. So God will say, say, oh Mohamad this and tell your people
this and teach them this and if they ask you to say that, so he's obviously being addressed
directly, but his name is, it only appears five times in the Quran versus the other characters, as I
mentioned in the Quran. The Quran also if you look at when when God Almighty speaks to the Prophet,
peace be upon him. So as I said, there are many direct messages, the Quran, you know, the Quran
		

			says, ohama do this. Prophet do this will say this, those things sometimes even rebukes or
reprimands, the Prophet peace upon him. Because remember, a prophet of God is a servant of God is a
slave of God. He's a doing a, a mission on God's behalf. And sometimes because the prophets of God
are human, they might do something which God disapproves of. And so Allah subhanaw taala, will put
that and immortalize the rebuke in the Quran. And this is something to think about, why would an
author put something in the Quran that is not
		

			very flattering? So for example, one of the examples,
		

			you know, is we, the prophet peace be upon him was was entering into a debate with one of the
leaders of the Meccans. So he's discussing with him and he's getting headway with with them, and
they are listening to him, and things seem to be going in the right direction. And then one of his
disciples who was a blind man comes and looks for him and calls him. And obviously during this, you
know, so he's busy talking to his, you know, to these, you know, he's in a very intense meeting, and
he's being called by one of his disciples. And so the the Meccans basically say, look, you want me
to follow your religion and your religion has the likes of this man, this blind person that, you
		

			know, we look down on him, and we, we and him can never be on the same religion. And so, this
moment, in the Prophet became very disappointed that he felt like he was having headway, and now he
became, and now they backtracked. And so out of his frustration, he found the Prophet found. A blind
man can't seem frowning, but the Prophet found and God did not approve of this. So God Almighty
Allah says, Allah Azza wa Taala, or prophet of Allah you found and you turn away, because they came
to him a blind man
		

			So continue on the verses, he says, Allah says, As for ye who thinks himself without needs, so
these, these leaders, these big shots, they have no need of God, to them to him, you give attention,
you give all your attention to them. But as for he who comes to you striving for knowledge, this,
this poor blind man is coming to you sincerely, well, and he feels God from him, you turn away you
are distracted from so God says, I don't approve of that you should have given your attention to the
blind man because he's sincere. As for these big guys, these wealthy guys, they're not sincere, so
you shouldn't even be focusing on them. Now this is a rebuke it's you know, it's it's quite the same
		

			you did it you made a mistake. And it's immortalized in the Quran is recited for 1400 years. there
even is more to it. Like there's more examples of this physical through them. So the Prophet peace
upon him. One of the examples that we we reference here in the Quran.
		

			The next example, the Prophet peace upon him once he was a leader of a state, he had within any
state, those who believed and those who, you know, were not believers, but they they feigned faith,
they were hypocrites, they were, you know, undercover. And they cause harm internally. And so every
time there would be a need for for the community to come together, there was a communal crisis,
these hypocrites will always find an excuse not to participate, and they would make an excuse when
something happened and, and we can't be part of the community, the community effort. And so, the
prophet as his nature was he didn't judge people on the inside baseball is the purview of God.
		

			People would ask him, why don't you punish these hypocrites? And he says, Look, I don't want people
to say that Muhammad kills these people. What's inside the heart belongs to God. Only God can judge
who is a true believer and not a believer. And so they would come with the lame excuses. And he
would always accept them. He would accept them as truthful. And he would say, finding that if there
was some some mistake, then you know, you have an excuse. You are exempt. You don't have to
participate in this expedition. You don't have to participate in defending the city. And so God
actually rebukes the prophets Allah, Allah says, Allah anger. May Allah have pardon, you may may god
		

			pardon you, Lima advincula. Why did you grant him permission? Why did you accept the excuses before
it became obvious to you as to who was speaking the truth? And before you came to know the liars, so
they came with false excuses, but you just, you know, you accepted all of them as okay. And God
says, Why did you do that you should have you should have been more discerning we met. And it's, of
course, the soft nature on the Prophet peace be upon him.
		

			Another example is this perhaps more harsher rebuke from God Almighty, during one of the
expeditions, the Prophet peace when he was actually struck in the face by one of the mykines they
actually hit him with a sword in his face, and he was, you know, he's he's his cheek was broken. Any
one of his teeth, or one of his teeth were actually damaged. And so during the battle and being
harmed and bleeding, like any human being, he was frustrated. He was, he was angry. And so he said
to them, how would God ever forgive a people that you know, strikes the face of the Prophet? How can
God forgive you after doing something this God in almost immediately reveals versus saying, Lisa,
		

			like I'm in I'm gonna shake, you have no right to this. You have no right to say?
		

			Oh, you're tubal Allahu Oh, you are the boom, it is the decision. You have no right in deciding who
God forgives and who God punishes. This is the decision lies with Allah, Allah alone decides who
will punish and who he will forgive. This is not for you to say. So this was a statement the
probably some medium made out of frustration, you know, how can God forgive you after you've done
this to me? When God reveals verses and you have no right to say this, and these words are
immortalized in the Quran. It is, you know, it's really told today, either way, the prophet said it
and God actually said What you said was wrong. Another example is when the prophets uncle is a
		

			different Uncle, uncle who raised him Uncle we loved very much, an uncle who supported him and uncle
who believed that he was a prophet, but didn't have the courage to, to profess his faith. He didn't
have the, the, you know, he wanted to remain on his traditional background. He said, Look, I can't
leave the ways of my forefathers. I know what you're saying is truthful. I love you, I support you.
You are like a son to me. But I, I do not want to openly profess your faith. And so he died a
disbeliever. And after he died of disbelief of the Prophet still continued to beseech God, you know,
make an exception. You know, the rule is if you die the spirit within you, you know, you're not
		

			going to be admitted to paradise. And so God so the Prophet peace won't continue to beseech God and
say make an exception when the rules for him. And so God Almighty reveals these verses in Nicola
dataman app that you owe Mama, you don't give guidance to whom you want. It is only God that gives
guidance. This is not for you to decide who is saved and who is not saved. guidance is in the hands
of God. It is not for you to say, and so stop, you know, don't continue on this on this track
anymore. And more examples why the Prophet peace unit could not have been the author. Look at this
verse.
		

			occurances lautoka when are they gonna bother a call, we'll have nermeen who be the amine to Malacca
and amin when Allah says and if Mohammed had made up anything about us some false things, they if
any of if Muhammad peace be upon him, inserted any of his own sayings in this Quran, we would have
seized him by his right hand and we would have cut him from his aorta, and there is none who could
save him from us. So, so this is this is the Quran, you know, in fact, the Quran is threatening the
Prophet peace upon him that if you do not relate, if you were able to insert any of your own sayings
in this, where you were to hide anything of it, when there would be none to protect you against God,
		

			you are a messenger, your job is to relay the words through relay the words of God, just as the
Quran, you know, correct. The Prophet instructs the Prophet peace upon him the Quran also consoles,
the prophet, the Prophet peace upon him like any any human being, he had these ups and downs, he had
difficult times. And so the Quran gives lots of condolences to him. And this is again, if you say
the Quran was written by Muhammad, Hassan, why would he give himself condolences? So we have an
example here. The Quran says, maybe need to pick up imagination. So the Prophet peace upon him his
hearing is receiving words from God is getting revelation. Now a normal sane person would think I'm
		

			going mad. And so the Quran says to him, and this is one of the very early revelations right at the
beginning, when he was still scared, he was still unsure what is this that I'm receiving. And the
Revelation says, you owe Muhammad by the favor of God, you're not mad. This is not madness. This is
a revelation from God. In another verse, you know, in the Prophet peace, when he was going through a
very, very difficult time in his life, he had lost his companion, the love of his life, his teacher,
his wife, up until the age of 50, he was married to her, she died. She was his first follower and
supporter, she died. So personally he was he was broken on the inside. And you know, the uncle that
		

			we spoke about who died and disbelief he passed away. And it seemed like the people of Makkah
completely rejected his faith. So the Prophet was in a bit of a depression. And what made matters
even more difficult for him. He wasn't receiving revelation, as he usually received. And so there
was a period of absence of Revelation. And the Prophet began to ask himself, as God lift me, have I
done something to earn God's displeasure, and perhaps, because of my failure as a prophet at this
point, he felt I'm a failure. I haven't succeeded in convincing my people to follow the guidance.
And so he felt maybe called you've left me. And then our last panel responds very beautifully swore
		

			to her. God says, I swear by the morning likeness, what do how will they leave their serger and by
the night as it covers any comms and it settles everything, Mauer. dakara buka marcada your Lord has
not left you. I have not deserted you will not color and I don't hate you. I am still here with you.
When I ask you not to hire let me know Allah and the end will be better for you, the end will be
better than it is now. Don't worry, I'm still with you. Now these verses, one needs to ask how is it
possible that Muhammad himself will write this in the Quran, we need to ask as we go through this
the CDs, who is the author of the Quran, if it's not divine as Muslims claimed, it's hard to
		

			substantiate, it's hard to accept that the Prophet peace. Muhammad is the author of the Quran as we
said he couldn't have written it, because he didn't have the ability or the the means of doing it.
The language is different to his own language. The verses in the that are not so flattering to him
are mentioned in the Quran. They are verses that speak to him directly. And also we need to ask what
would his motivation have been? We know that before the revelation came, he was he was happy. He was
wealthy, he was in the best position in his life, he started off as an orphan, struggling as a young
man. And then, you know, he married his wife and they lived you know, that a good life together. And
		

			then this revelation comes, and it puts him in at loggerheads with his entire community get shunned
by his community. He goes through a lot of hardship, his family deserts him, his own community
pushes him out, he loses financially, physically, he's abused. So why would he do this? And we know
that the Quran says that you are not allowed, like all prophets of God, you're not allowed to take
payment from this, you are not allowed to charge your people money. And the curator even offered him
they said, Look on Hamad. We will pay you to stop preaching this message. If you want to be the king
of Morocco, we'll make you the king. If it is power that you want, we'll give you power. If it's
		

			money that you want, we'll give you as much as you want, even women that you won't name the women
will, you will have. And the Prophet says to them, I am just the Messenger of God, I have no say in
the matter. I need to preach these words that are inspiring me, I have to do it. And he says if you
were to give me even the sun in my my right hand and the moon in my left hand, who will save me from
God, if I will finish obey Him. And so one needs to ask what is the motivation of the Prophet peace
be upon him. As I said, his life is the most documented life of anyone. There's no way you can fake
revelation. You can't have your entire life being documented. And we have forgeries that's
		

			happening. So again,
		

			The fact that anyone that claims that the Quran is authored by the prophet peace be upon him, that
does not stand up impossible for that to be. And so you know, you either accept that is a divine
revelation, or a third alternative needs to be made and until today, there is no third alternative.
One needs to consider this person will never spoke, never read, has no motivation. These words were
placed in his mouth, like the prophets of old and this is a book divinely inspired by God. I hope so
far that this has been beneficial to him. So far, we haven't even spoken about what the Quran speaks
about. We spoke about how its structured. We spoke about certain miracles from a science and a
		

			prophetic nature we spoke about certain amazing, you know, more than the observations you could have
we spoke about why couldn't be the Prophet peace upon him that he wrote this book. Up until now, we
haven't actually asked what is the subject matter of the Quran? What does it actually want you to
do? What is it? What are its themes, its messages, and that we will talk about next week in Sha,
Allah. Hi, thank you so much. I said I want ye obrigado
