00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			Find it on the title of every Quran.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			Quran Wali Bukarim. A generous Quran. This is
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			the literal,
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			translation
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			So one of the reasons why the Quran
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			is called Al Kareem, the generous or the
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53
			noble because it came down from Al Kareem.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. One one of those
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			attributes is Al Kareem.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			And also, he came down with,
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			an angel who is Kareem, Hajibreel alayhi salaamu
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:04
			wa Kareem.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			And he came down to a prophet who
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			is Kareem,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			and he came also to a nation, an
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			Ummah, that is Kareem.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			Okay? So everything about the Quran is Kareem.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			So one of the reasons why Al Quran
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			is called Al Kareem because it has no
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:27
			contradictions,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			no imperfection.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			It is perfect, and this is why it
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			is called Al Kareem.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:39
			Al
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:33
			So how
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			number 1, you have to show respect to
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			the Quran. You have to honor the Quran.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			Are there any Muslims who dishonor the Quran
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			and disrespect it? Of course, all the time.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			Number 1, I'm gonna give a couple of
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:46
			examples.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			When you take an oath on the Quran
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			and you know for sure you are lying,
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			this is disrespectful
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			to the Quran, and this happens all the
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:54
			time.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			Sometimes you find yourself in a difficult situation
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			and the only way out is to make
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02
			a full, false oath on the Quran.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			Okay. And the people come to me all
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			the time, you know, I was in this
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			difficult situation and I had to lie and
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			I put my hand on the Quran. I
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			I lied.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:14
			But I was not taking an oath on
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			the words, but I was talking the oath
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			on this empty,
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			margin of the page. I was not talking
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			about the words of Allah. I was talking
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			about the page and the ink.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			Okay. If you take an oath on the
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			Quran, it's an oath. If you swear by
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			the words of Allah in the Quran, you
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			are making an oath by Allah. Don't play
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			games with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			And this happens all the time with a
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			lot of leaders back home. They take an
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			oath on the Quran when they assume the
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:10
			office, when they come to office that they
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:10
			will,
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			inshallah, be honest,
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			and they steal all the money. Send to
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			Switzerland. Send to London. Send to all these
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			countries.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			Oh, I will protect my people from every
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			yeah, from every heart.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			So when they asked him, okay, you swore
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			in the Quran that you protect your people
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			from outside aggression. He said, yes,
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			but I never said I'm not gonna kill
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			them myself. I'm not I will never allow
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			anyone from the outside to kill them, but
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			I'll kill them myself.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			K? And I never made
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			an awesomeness. Okay?
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			So this is also a violation, and this
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			is also disrespectful
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:46
			of the Quran.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:49
			When
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			the Quran is
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:56
			When the Quran is recited, you have to
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:57
			pay attention and show respect. And they say
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			this means the recitation in salaam.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			How many times
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			you are standing in the salaam,
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			crying and thinking about all the ayes and
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			you hear all the crazy ringtones and you
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			feel like you're gonna dance with the phone.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			Okay? This is disrespectful
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:13
			to the club. Some
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			people, they stand up to pray salah to
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			sunnah in Jummah and other days, and people
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			stand in the back and they crack jokes
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:22
			and they they laugh.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			Okay? And sometimes, they they they pray second
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			jamaas outside. And I see this with my
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			own eyes. Some people come late. They stand
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			in in the line to pray salat al
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			jamaas. Some brothers, they stand in the back
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			and they crack jokes and the people can
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:38
			hear the recitation of the imam. So this
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			is too much.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			And it's a shame all by and I'm
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			not talking about anyone
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			that there are some people, including
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			Arabs, who can't even read the Quran. And
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			I'm not talking about Tajmid, by the way.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			Okay. I'm talking about misreading the word in
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			a way that changes the meaning completely.
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:10
			So if you are an Arab and you
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:11
			can't read the Quran,
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			I really don't know what to say. Okay?
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			You have to track this what you need.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			So if the Quran says, do things this
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			way, you have to follow what it says.
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			Do it this way. Do it this way.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			Okay.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			Are those who learn the Quran and read
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:55
			it.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:56
			And the prophet,
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			SAW, ASSA, also says in the authentic Hadith,
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			they would go higher in rank in Jannah
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			based on the amount and the number of
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			source they memorized
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			and they were reading in this dulill.
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:31
			Sorry. Left the middle of this. That's what
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			happened.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:46
			So
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			brief story about that I work for those
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			who learn the Quran and teach it. One
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			of the scholars, I heard it from a
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:54
			couple of scholars, they say, there was this
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:54
			orphan
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			and his mother wanted him to learn the
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:58
			Quran, to become a shayf,
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00
			a huja, Quran. So
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			she sent him to this far away shayf
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:04
			in his village to learn from him a
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:07
			long time ago. So he said that the
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09
			kid the kid went to the shayf and
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			asked him, please teach me Quran. I'm an
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12
			orphan, and, you know, I I want to
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:15
			learn the Quran. So the sheikh told him,
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			I'm very busy. I have a lot of
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18
			students. I I can't give you any time.
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:20
			You see, I I'm I'm eating while I'm
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:22
			teaching because I don't have time.
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			The kid insisted, and he said, please, I
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:28
			wanna learn Quran. So he said, well, I
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			can't. Maybe wait a few months until I
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			finish my with some of the students, and
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			he can come.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			So the kid didn't leave. He didn't go
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			back to his mother, and he slept in
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			front of the house of the sheikh.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			The next morning, he came to him, please
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			teach me Quran. He said, I can't. The
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			second night, he slept in front of the
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:45
			house.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			So the sheikh said, this kid is gonna
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:49
			waste my time, and he's gonna stay in
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:52
			front of my house forever. I'm gonna ask
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			him for something difficult, he cannot do it,
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			then he will leave.
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57
			So he said,
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			if you give me 10 golden pieces, 10
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:02
			dinars, inshallah, I'm gonna teach you. And he
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			knew that this is impossible for a kid
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			like this to break.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08
			So the kid got so frustrated,
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			and he left, and he said, I'm gonna
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			go to my mother. Even if we sell
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			the house, we can't pay this amount.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			So on the way, he said
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			he was tired, and he slept under a
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:19
			tree.
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			So the prophet
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37
			told him go back to the shayef and
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:38
			tell him that the prophet
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
			is ordering you to teach me Quran.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43
			So the kid said, but
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:45
			what if
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:46
			what if he,
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:49
			what if he if he said that I'm
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			making up this story? Give me a side.
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:52
			I tell him.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			So the prophet told him,
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:55
			tell him,
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:58
			say this word to him. Zumal and Zumal.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:13:59
			It's a word from the Quran means in
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:02
			groups, in big numbers, in groups. Zumal and
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:03
			Zumal.
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			So the kid went back to the shayef,
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			and he said, I had a vision, and
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:08
			the prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, is asking
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:10
			you to teach me Quran. So the shayef
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12
			said, what is the sign? He said the
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			sign is Zumal and Zumal.
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:16
			So they
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:18
			shaved yeah. And they started to kiss the
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:19
			hands and the head of the kid, and
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			he said, Shama, I'm gonna teach you Quran.
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:23
			Sit down. Sit down. So the kid said,
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			what about Zumal and Zumal? What is this
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:26
			word?
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			He said that I have been teaching Quran
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:29
			for so many years.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			And I'm not taking money from anyone. Okay?
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:35
			The reason I told you this because I
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			wanted you to give me some time, but
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			I I was not going to take any
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39
			money from you.
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:40
			But
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:42
			I've been teaching Quran for a long time,
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:42
			and
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:56
			So the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			they would go to Jannah, Zumal, and Zumal
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01
			in groups. They will go in groups to
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			Jannah. So he started to teach him. We'll
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:04
			put him next time.
