That was so long.
Because you're actually most of us here?
No.
No? Yes.
No. I heard some people say no.
Yes. Yes.
No.
Okay.
So one one quick thing I'm gonna share
with you before before we leave inshallah.
So,
you memorize Quran in this school. Right? Yes.
Okay. Quran
is the book of Allah. Yeah.
Yes. Yes.
The Quran was the message that Allah
revealed to our Prophet, Muhammad
Right? Yes.
When was that?
A
long
time ago, like, how long? When he was
40 years old. Like, a 1000 No. I
mean, what in history?
How many centuries back? A 100 century.
Okay. So 6000.
Okay. Alright. 62,000,000.
Guys, please. Please stay up now. So that
was about 15 to 15 centuries back.
Something in between. Right? Yeah. So my question
to you is, how do we still have
the same Quran the prophet was
saying?
If
it's 14 centuries back, then they didn't have
computers, they didn't have recordings,
sometimes they didn't even write,
unlike the the the the papers that we're
used to now, and we still have the
same,
not just the general Quran, all the letters,
all the words, every single thing he said,
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, we still have it
exactly as is. So how do you have
that?
Yes. Because,
Allah said that,
all the books, people would change them, but
then, he said that the Quran specifically, no
one's gonna be able to change it. Great.
So Allah
promised that the Quran will be preserved. Right?
And that He will preserve it until the
late judgement.
That's right. But how did Allah
preserve the Quran?
Yes?
People memorized it. Sorry? People memorized it. People
memorized it. Is that correct?
Yes.
Was that enough to have the book of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
preserved?
No. So what else? Yes?
We have to have a book and
in the book itself it told us not
to change any wording from the prophet.
Okay. Yes?
It passed on.
It passed on? Yeah. Through what? Generation.
Through generations? So through people? Yeah. Yes?
Prophet
Sahaba that could write the right
the Quran.
Okay. So The one who got rid of
the people. Yes? The
prophet told it to many people and they
kept telling it till now people now written
it to save it. And he made sure
it would be in a safe place. Good.
Thank you. Yes. And then there's a chance
that Never change the flag. Yes. And also,
people memorize what I'm gonna do with
Correct. Last one. Yes. I want to follow
that protected it protected
it throughout the years that come Throughout your
reach. Exactly. All the answers are correct.
And the main thing was what you mentioned,
that the people who memorized the Quran and
then they transmitted the Quran to the generation
that came after them, that was one of
the main reasons why do we still have
the same Quran
that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will read to
the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam. So he
promised to preserve it
by his will and power
and then the human beings we
were the means that Allah used
to preserve the Quran.
Right? The prophet at the beginning of the
revelation when Sanajib begins to come to him
and give him the new revelation that Allah
is revealing,
sometimes he was so worried
that he would miss some words.
He would miss some letters.
So try to imagine that. Sanjibir is coming
to the prophet the angel, and he's given
him the new chapter or few verses that
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is revealing. And he's
reciting to him the ayat, and the prophet
of salam
is trying to repeat after him every single
word and letter because he doesn't want to
miss anymore.
He was so worried that he would miss
that because it was his responsibility that Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala trusted him with.
So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala wanted to reassure
his heart and told him, do not worry
because we are preserving this book. And he
told him,
So San Najibir is reciting,
and he's still reciting, but the prophet is
repeating is moving his lips and tongues and
tongue to repeat the same words that San
Najibir is saying because he doesn't wanna miss
anything. But Allah told him, do not worry.
We are preserved the Quran.
Do not hasten with the recitation of that
Quran because
It is upon us to gather and collect
that Quran in your heart,
and it's upon us to make you recite
that Quran.
So that was the promise that Allah
promised the Prophet with.
Now we can understand from that, that what
is our responsibility
is that to keep carrying that message of
the Prophet
So if you can carry the message of
the Quran, inshallah, when we get a little
bit older and then we can deliver the
same message and we can teach people how
to recite the Quran, how to memorize the
Quran, so that the generations
that would come after this, we carry the
message of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. If any
generation among
all the generations that came in the time
of the Ummah of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam were a kind of slakening
to do this responsibility.
And he said, actually we don't have to
memorize the Quran. We don't have to recite
it. We don't have to learn Tajweed, you
don't have to know how to recite the
words and the letters, or you would have
missed the Quran. Right? You would have missed
some chapters maybe or some sur or some
ayat. We know that Allah promised that this
would never happen, but it was through the
means of the human beings that Allah
putting a responsibility among us, upon us, that
we need to be the means to preserve
the book of Allah
Keep that in mind all the time you
learn in the Quran. Keep that in mind
all the time you're trying to learn how
to pronounce a word in the Quran. And
that it's a responsibility that inshallah in the
future I'm gonna teach the generation to come
how to recite and how to memorize the
book of Allah
And keep in mind all the time it's
not just some words and verses that you
are memorizing and kind of chanting,
it's the meanings of the book of Allah
that we need to manifest, we need to
apply in our
life. When I'm someone who is carrying some
parts of the Quran, I have to manifest
this in my behaviors with people.
I have to manifest this in my actions,
in my dealings with everyone. I'm a person
who knows the book of Allah
I'm representing these meanings and these concepts that
the Quran is telling me about. So when
you carry that message, you'll not carry a
number of verses or words, you're carrying the
message of Allah
There are meanings and concepts, behaviors, and matters
that have to have in our life.
I know that was too boring, but forgive
me for for being with you. And again,
you're most you're so lucky having Sheikh Mustafa
with you. So, try to seize the opportunity
to learn from him as much as you
can.
