00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			He made a big contributions.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			He had a miracle problem. He has been
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			sleeping in his house for a month, and
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			there's a big problem in his back. To
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			make dua that Allah
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			give him chifa. He can't move, and may
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:01

00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			Amin. Amin. So please pay attention to, Imam
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			Yusuf. We don't have the mic today. We're
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			still working on the sound system, so please
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			pay attention.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			That was so long.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			Because you're actually most of us here?
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			No.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			No? Yes.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			No. I heard some people say no.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			Yes. Yes.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			No.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:52
			Okay.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			So one one quick thing I'm gonna share
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			with you before before we leave inshallah.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:57
			So,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			you memorize Quran in this school. Right? Yes.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			Okay. Quran
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			is the book of Allah. Yeah.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:05
			Yes. Yes.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			The Quran was the message that Allah
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			revealed to our Prophet, Muhammad
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			Right? Yes.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			When was that?
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:14
			A
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:15
			long
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			time ago, like, how long? When he was
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			40 years old. Like, a 1000 No. I
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			mean, what in history?
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:24
			How many centuries back? A 100 century.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			Okay. So 6000.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			Okay. Alright. 62,000,000.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:34
			Guys, please. Please stay up now. So that
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			was about 15 to 15 centuries back.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			Something in between. Right? Yeah. So my question
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			to you is, how do we still have
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			the same Quran the prophet was
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			saying?
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			If
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			it's 14 centuries back, then they didn't have
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			computers, they didn't have recordings,
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			sometimes they didn't even write,
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			unlike the the the the papers that we're
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			used to now, and we still have the
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			same,
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:03
			not just the general Quran, all the letters,
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			all the words, every single thing he said,
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, we still have it
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			exactly as is. So how do you have
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			that?
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			Yes. Because,
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			Allah said that,
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			all the books, people would change them, but
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:19
			then, he said that the Quran specifically, no
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			one's gonna be able to change it. Great.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			So Allah
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			promised that the Quran will be preserved. Right?
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			And that He will preserve it until the
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			late judgement.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			That's right. But how did Allah
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			preserve the Quran?
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:35
			Yes?
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:40
			People memorized it. Sorry? People memorized it. People
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			memorized it. Is that correct?
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:42
			Yes.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			Was that enough to have the book of
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:48
			preserved?
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			No. So what else? Yes?
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			We have to have a book and
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			in the book itself it told us not
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57
			to change any wording from the prophet.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			Okay. Yes?
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			It passed on.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:05
			It passed on? Yeah. Through what? Generation.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			Through generations? So through people? Yeah. Yes?
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			Prophet
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			Sahaba that could write the right
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:14
			the Quran.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			Okay. So The one who got rid of
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			the people. Yes? The
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			prophet told it to many people and they
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:26
			kept telling it till now people now written
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			it to save it. And he made sure
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			it would be in a safe place. Good.
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			Thank you. Yes. And then there's a chance
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:32
			that Never change the flag. Yes. And also,
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:33
			people memorize what I'm gonna do with
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			Correct. Last one. Yes. I want to follow
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			that protected it protected
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:56
			it throughout the years that come Throughout your
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			reach. Exactly. All the answers are correct.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			And the main thing was what you mentioned,
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:04
			that the people who memorized the Quran and
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			then they transmitted the Quran to the generation
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			that came after them, that was one of
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			the main reasons why do we still have
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			the same Quran
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will read to
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam. So he
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			promised to preserve it
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			by his will and power
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			and then the human beings we
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			were the means that Allah used
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			to preserve the Quran.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			Right? The prophet at the beginning of the
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			revelation when Sanajib begins to come to him
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			and give him the new revelation that Allah
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			is revealing,
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			sometimes he was so worried
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			that he would miss some words.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			He would miss some letters.
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			So try to imagine that. Sanjibir is coming
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44
			to the prophet the angel, and he's given
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			him the new chapter or few verses that
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is revealing. And he's
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			reciting to him the ayat, and the prophet
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:50
			of salam
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			is trying to repeat after him every single
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			word and letter because he doesn't want to
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			miss anymore.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			He was so worried that he would miss
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			that because it was his responsibility that Allah
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala trusted him with.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala wanted to reassure
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			his heart and told him, do not worry
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			because we are preserving this book. And he
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			told him,
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			So San Najibir is reciting,
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			and he's still reciting, but the prophet is
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			repeating is moving his lips and tongues and
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			tongue to repeat the same words that San
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			Najibir is saying because he doesn't wanna miss
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27
			anything. But Allah told him, do not worry.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			We are preserved the Quran.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			Do not hasten with the recitation of that
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			Quran because
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			It is upon us to gather and collect
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			that Quran in your heart,
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40
			and it's upon us to make you recite
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			that Quran.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			So that was the promise that Allah
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			promised the Prophet with.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			Now we can understand from that, that what
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			is our responsibility
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			is that to keep carrying that message of
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:53
			the Prophet
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			So if you can carry the message of
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			the Quran, inshallah, when we get a little
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			bit older and then we can deliver the
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			same message and we can teach people how
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			to recite the Quran, how to memorize the
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			Quran, so that the generations
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			that would come after this, we carry the
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			message of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. If any
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:09
			generation among
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			all the generations that came in the time
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:13
			of the Ummah of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			wa sallam were a kind of slakening
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			to do this responsibility.
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			And he said, actually we don't have to
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			memorize the Quran. We don't have to recite
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			it. We don't have to learn Tajweed, you
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			don't have to know how to recite the
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			words and the letters, or you would have
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			missed the Quran. Right? You would have missed
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			some chapters maybe or some sur or some
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			ayat. We know that Allah promised that this
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			would never happen, but it was through the
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:36
			means of the human beings that Allah
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			putting a responsibility among us, upon us, that
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43
			we need to be the means to preserve
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44
			the book of Allah
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			Keep that in mind all the time you
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			learn in the Quran. Keep that in mind
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:49
			all the time you're trying to learn how
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			to pronounce a word in the Quran. And
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			that it's a responsibility that inshallah in the
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			future I'm gonna teach the generation to come
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			how to recite and how to memorize the
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			book of Allah
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			And keep in mind all the time it's
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			not just some words and verses that you
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			are memorizing and kind of chanting,
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			it's the meanings of the book of Allah
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			that we need to manifest, we need to
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09
			apply in our
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:11
			life. When I'm someone who is carrying some
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			parts of the Quran, I have to manifest
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:14
			this in my behaviors with people.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			I have to manifest this in my actions,
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			in my dealings with everyone. I'm a person
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			who knows the book of Allah
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:24
			I'm representing these meanings and these concepts that
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			the Quran is telling me about. So when
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27
			you carry that message, you'll not carry a
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30
			number of verses or words, you're carrying the
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:31
			message of Allah
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34
			There are meanings and concepts, behaviors, and matters
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:37
			that have to have in our life.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			I know that was too boring, but forgive
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:42
			me for for being with you. And again,
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			you're most you're so lucky having Sheikh Mustafa
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			with you. So, try to seize the opportunity
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			to learn from him as much as you
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			can.
