sorry hot water wasabi hot water was on the southern Amira banana mean. So Mama Mama everyone Salam
aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. Our intention inshallah tada is to cover in the 30 nights of
Ramadan to go through I art and reflections and some lessons from Sultan Baqarah as much as
possible. I can't pass I thought a lot about telling you how much of the Quran we're going to be
covering every night. But as I engage in this study, I realized that there are passages and
		
00:01:36 --> 00:02:09
			sometimes there are phrases and sometimes there are moments in history that require a lot more
discussion. So I'm going to leave it open ended roughly just read two pages ahead, but even if we
get to seven IR today, that would be amazing. I'm going to try not to exceed an hour anytime, any,
any one of these literals because we do want to pray and I know it's weeknights and we have to get
back to work and other things as well. And so also The other advantage of keeping things within an
hour is good for your attention span. So inshallah Allah you try to think about what was said, go
back and read and ponder over the same if again and inshallah Tada, this is how we reinforce our
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:41
			connection, at the very least with a significant chunk of Susan Baqarah. I want to get right into
the surah itself inshallah Allah and my intention is a little bit creative with this surah instead
of giving you an introduction to the solar in the beginning, I'm going to be giving you an
introduction to the surah as the surah proceeds. So we'll get right into the text right into the IOD
from the very, very beginning in sha Allah Allah, the biggest surah of the Quran, and and again, key
things about what to think about and what subject matter is coming up into surah. I'll introduce you
to as the time comes with Mila, Allah azza wa jal begins this Madani surah which means it was
		
00:02:41 --> 00:03:20
			revealed after the profits are seldom migrated to Medina. So this is in the latter, latter half of
the prophets mission Salallahu alaihe salam, it's also important to note when Sultan Bukhara is
revealed any madonia poron is the last you can say the last 30 35% of the Quran because the majority
of the Quran has already come down. Majority of it came down when the Prophet was in Makkah. So this
is the latter portion of the Quran. And this portion of the Quran is in terms of style, also unique
because the IOD tend to be longer. And the subject is a little bit different because when the
Prophet Alayhi Salaam was receiving the Quran, in Mecca, he was actually part of a very small
		
00:03:20 --> 00:04:01
			minority that were oppressed and they were considered in a sense outlaws rebels a threat to society
that kind of thing. And you'll notice that actually a lot of the address in McCann Quran is yeah you
Hannah's is to all people yeah a body my slaves, or Eliza gel will indirectly save coal Yeah, even
calf your own. pullela Xena cafaro tell those who disbelieved, right? But you don't directly find
Yeah, you Hello, Dina Armando, those of you who believe. When the Prophet salallahu alaihe salam
moves to Medina, a new community is formed. And now they're not even though they're in a time of
war, and in a sense, some kind of emergency state because the battles keep erupting between the
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:35
			people of Medina and the people of Makkah. But now at least within the confines of Medina, they're
in a state of peace. And they've already made some treaties with the Jewish and Christian
communities that are already there. Some of those Jews and Christians have become Muslim, and now
they're part of the oma of Islam, even though their family members are still Jewish and Christian,
right. And now this community of Muslims, Jews and Christians live together and they've got an
agreement with each other to defend the city of Medina together. And this is kind of a new life for
the Muslims in Medina. And in this time, one of the earliest Sooners that started coming down to
		
00:04:35 --> 00:05:00
			certain Bukhara actually is one of the earlier ones. As a matter of fact, you know, not six months
within this time, when the prophet SAW Selim was establishing the community of the Muslims. You
know, there was already preparations happening because the mccanns were not happy that the Muslims
are stable. So the people or the coloration of Makkah, were trying to get ready gear up basically
for battle. And one thing led to another and pretty soon we were going to end up within
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:35
			Within a year and a half, we weren't going to end up in the Battle of either, you know, the first
major battle of Assam. So a lot of the eye art in the surah later on, you're gonna see are actually
mental preparation for the Battle of button, which is a pretty good indication that this came in the
first year and a half, two years of even within the lifetime of the process of Medina. But then
there are I have this surah that spanned the entire like later life of the Prophet. So I said I'm in
Medina. So it's not like the whole so what I came down at was once they came down little by little
by little over several years, actually some of them might even argue that the last IOP given to the
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:52
			Prophet sallallahu Sallam the last of the worst part of political Bukhara, the last of the IR given
to the schools. And it's also unique that even though it is in its entirety, a Medina Medina surah a
small portion of it, you don't even you can't even call it a McCann surah it's a it's a it's kind of
a summary.
		
00:05:53 --> 00:06:28
			Because when you say mckennitt means the surah came from the sky to Mecca. When you say but then you
use it You mean the surah came from the sky to Medina, but the last couple of ions of this pseudo
pseudo Lhasa Salaam didn't receive they didn't come down with Jose Salaam went up. He received them
when he went up in the Mirage so it's got a special feature, that the concluding draw that was
right, that's what I recited in that shot prayer. So it's got these unique qualities to it, among
many others, that we're going to get to inshallah huhtala eventually. So let's begin right away.
Again, it's important to note the difference between the audience you know, there's a famous saying
		
00:06:28 --> 00:07:01
			in Arabic, hollywood masala country rockpooling him talk to people depending on their level of
understanding their background, I the way I talk to children is different from teenagers is
different from college students as well, I've been Muslim for a long time, there's a difference
between them, there's different audiences. So the audience of Medina is different because they
actually have background with revelation they know about Torah, they know about ngl some of them are
very many generations of Christians, or many generations of Jews, right? So and they are also the
audience of this Quran, they're also hearing this for us. So the Quran is not only being recited to
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:34
			the Muslims. Nowadays, when I'm reciting Quran, when somebody walks by, or somebody heard from the
outside of the building, maybe even a little bit of the reputation, they have no idea what's been
what's going on. Back then, when Koran was being recited, it was in the language of the people. And
it was something they very directly and immediately understood whether they were Muslim or not, you
understand. So this was almost like a radio broadcast. For everybody who's out there. The Jews, the
Christians, the Muslims, everybody. And so with that background in mind, you have to appreciate
what's going to happen inside of the surah. This is different from the people of Makkah, because
		
00:07:34 --> 00:08:11
			they didn't have background in Revelation. Those people were Muslim, and they worshipped idols. And
they had forgotten the religion of a smile and Ibrahim alayhi wa sallam from 1000s of years ago.
They kept the sacrifice, but they forgot why they sacrifice. They kept the governor, but they forgot
what the purpose of the Cabal is. So the idea of Revelation and asset all of those things were
erased. They were gone. This is not the case for this audience. Right. The other last difference
I'll share with you is that the madonie audience, a good number of them because they've also we have
the hotspot of tomorrow. The Christians have their day in the church, the Jews have their Sabbath in
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:46
			the synagogue, right? And they go listen to a football like we listen to a football, they have that
tradition to and in their hotel, their leaders are there scholars, they have earlimart to, you know,
they have they have people that they listen to and learn from their religion from and those were
learned people, those where you can say scholarly people even though Quran calls them bar doesn't
even call them or the AMA in one place or the mount Albany's for him. But another word of Allah Bar
Bar comes from the word Hibbard which means ink, meaning these people read and write so much, and
their hands go over, you know, pages and pages of books so much, their hands are always looked like
		
00:08:46 --> 00:09:24
			they dipped in ink. That's why they're called above. So very, very scholarly people. Now compare
this to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, who are on himself calls an AVI allomi. The Prophet,
the prophet who is who is as I'm contaminated with education as someone who just came out of their
mother. In other words, he's unlettered, that's the easy translation I will meet. He's unlettered.
But it comes from the word Omi which comes from home because he has the same formal education as
someone who just came from their mother. Right? He has no background in formal education, and he's
teaching them now he's teaching religion. So the other people that are teaching religion in Medina
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:59
			are llama. Learn from Allah Ma, who learned from Allah, whether they're teaching Christianity or
Judaism. And here you have a man teaching the religion of God and he's commenting on their religion
to the Quran is commenting on Judaism. The Quran is commenting on Christianity, and yet he himself
no scholarly background whatsoever. As a matter of fact, that same word mean, which Allah azza wa
jal says, who Allah Xie basophil Amina casilla Minho is the one who appointed among the only in the
unlettered people, why because the prophets I said almost sent not to Medina what was he said first?
To MacArthur, they'll do mean
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:35
			messenger from among them, right? So when that that same word, which to us is actually a noble word
because it's one of the descriptions of the prophets alongside them. And it's part of his miracle.
This was a term that was actually an insult used by the yahood. And the nasarah, the rabbis among
them, and the priests among them, they would actually say, this guy, this one's gonna teach you, he
doesn't even know how to read and write, what's he going to teach you? And so with that, the reason
I shared that background with you is because the first words of the surah are Alif, laam, Meem,
these are three letters. There are letters, and the only person who ever any, anybody who knows
		
00:10:35 --> 00:11:10
			letters, the only reason they will know letters is because they're learning to read. There's no
other reason you should know letters, you know, there are people that are uneducated, they never
received any education in English, they speak English, but they never went to school. You tell them
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, these words don't make no sense to them. These letters have no value to
them. What does that even mean? What do you mean w? What is that? I have never heard this word
before. Because the only time you worry about letters is when you worry about spelling. And the only
time you worry about spelling is if you're going to read or you're going to write Yes. And that's
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:31
			something that prophets Hassan has no access to. So when he recites Alif Lam, Meem, it already sends
shockwaves in that community. Wait, who taught him letters? I thought he told me, if he's saying LS
la meme, it must mean he has a teacher does it because he can't learn those on his own. If he
doesn't know he should just be saying lm
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:50
			lm taraka darbuka vs haven't failed. You know, that's, that's what he should be saying. But the fact
that he's saying and if not mean, necessarily means he has a teacher. So now even the people that
are listening to him are saying, who's his teacher? And what are they teaching him?
		
00:11:51 --> 00:12:28
			I mean it already and why would they teach him these letters? So it created that question in the
mind of the audience. And that's very, very important. Because the question will be answered that
the teacher is Allah. He's the one who's taught him, right, but that, and the idea that he is
actually receiving an education because otherwise there's no way he would even know what letters
signify anyway. The second thing you should know, about Alif laam. Meem, is it's unprecedented
usage. This is very important. As we go through the verse today, this will become clearer and
clearer in a long time that the Quran said things in a way that had never been used before. Nobody
		
00:12:28 --> 00:13:10
			talk like this, the Arabs were very proud of their language, they used to think of everybody else as
adjunct, basically incapable of proper speech, you know, * even you, which is a politically
incorrect term. Nowadays, they thought everybody has less because they don't know an idea. You know,
and they're the ones that are, you know, that mastered the language. And you have to call on from
the kinds of verbs that it used to the kinds of letters that it used to the kinds of sentences that
use, it said things in a way that had never been heard before. Nobody ever talks like this Not even
close. You know, even when a new poet comes and make some amazing poetry. It is still based on 80%,
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:43
			the previous poetry. Those of you that don't appreciate poetry, the younger audience here, maybe
they're into hip hop, maybe they're into r&b, maybe they're into what some kind of music or another,
you'll notice that beats or rhymes. They're not entirely creative. There's elements of it, that is
from previously existing music, they take the ingredients that are already there, and then build on
it something new, but it's not entirely new. It's like maybe 10%, New 20% new majority of it is
actually something already somebody had already done. You see. So when the Quran says something like
Alif Lam, Meem even.
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:58
			This is unheard of. Why would someone speak like this? It will not only create the question, it will
actually create a curiosity. This teacher, whoever his teacher is, nobody's ever learned from this
teacher around here.
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:39
			Nobody's ever gotten that kind of education before. So the mind has already been prepared to accept
the revelation of the Quran just with a live lambing just with that. And so when I lift lamb, he
said the other thing for us for believers because, you know, this didn't just have benefits for
those who did not believe. But even Alif laam Meem has guidance for those who believe. We know by h
ma of Allah, even though some have some opinions, that no one knows what Alif Lam me means. It's
wrong to say it doesn't mean anything. That's wrong to say because everything Allah says has
meaning. Everything Allah says has purpose. But on the other hand, everything Allah gave us we know
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:59
			is for our benefit. Allah doesn't speak in the Quran. He doesn't speak unless it is something that
will teach you and me something. He himself says I learn Quran. I learn Quran. He didn't just say
carnal Quran. He said the Quran to kalamalka he spoke the Quran, no animal Quran. He taught
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:08
			Quraan The thing about teaching as opposed to speaking, when someone's speaking, they're just
running their mouth. But when someone is teaching, who do they have in mind?
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:45
			The student, so everything they teach is supposed to benefit Who? The student, which means with that
formula, even when you read Alif, laam, Meem is supposed to have some kind of benefit from you, for
you. But then the question arises, I don't even know what it means. How is it supposed to benefit
me? Because in order for me to benefit, I better have, I have to understand. And especially when
you're sitting in a classroom, and the teacher says something, and you don't get it, that means you
didn't benefit. So you have to raise your hand and say what I don't understand. Could you repeat
that? Could you explain it to me? I need a better explanation. But no matter who you ask in the
		
00:15:45 --> 00:16:19
			world, can somebody explain Alif Lam? Meem? Can somebody tell me what it means? What's the Tafseer
of these letters? What's the history behind them? Nobody has a clear answer. And nobody has had a
clear answer. And seems pretty obvious. Nobody's gonna have a clear answer, until you get come
before a law on Judgement Day. And then beyond analyzer, which allows us by His mercy to enter into
his agenda, and we get the opportunity to ask our teacher a lot. So again, what does that mean? But
you know, then even then there's benefit. The question, I'm building this question for you, what's
the benefit, then? The benefit is, you know, what's called for college students here. They know,
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			it's called student orientation.
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:56
			you've ever heard a student orientation, first day of class, the teacher comes into the classroom
and says, Listen, you have to have this attitude, you have to put this much hours in homework, you
better not do this, this, this and this, you better finish your assignments on time, the exams, you
better start preparing for them three weeks in advance, he prepares you mentally for everything
that's coming. Yes. And if you're not properly mentally prepared for the course, and the best one to
prepare you as the teacher himself, then you're not gonna have the right attitude necessary to be
able to succeed in learning. The first orientation for the student of the Quran is that they don't
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:57
			know anything.
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:05
			The first orientation for the student of the Quran is Alif Lam Meem? What does it mean? You don't
know and you better get used to that?
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:20
			Well, La Jolla until that Allah, Allah is the one who knows you're the ones who don't know, don't
come to this book, to try to put criticisms on it, and impose upon Allah that unless I understand I
will not follow.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:18:00
			Unless I am satisfied, my curiosity is satisfied. Until then, I'm not convinced enough. I don't want
to follow it. No, no, no, no, no, you're gonna have to come to this book with humility. Not with
curiosity. You know, nowadays, we read books, and you can download a PDF, you can put things on your
Kindle or your iPad or something, and read a book and you enjoyed some chapter you didn't like some
other chapters. And because these books are part of an industry, the sales industry, even when
you're about to buy a book, before you buy a book, you look at how many stars it got. Did he get one
star? two stars, three stars, four stars? Is it a New York Times bestseller? What are the reviews of
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:32
			this book? What do we do when we read books, we not just learn, we also critique, we criticize, we
give our commentary and say I like it, it's kind of okay. I didn't really like this part of that we
do this with movies, we do this with cartoons, we do this. You know, we do this with books,
actually. Now we do this, even with professors in college, you raise your professor, right? And you
give them a star rating. He's pretty bad with homework, his tests are torture and all of this stuff,
right? In other words, you're in a position of control.
		
00:18:33 --> 00:19:07
			You're in a position of control, because in a consumer society, the customer is always What's that?
What do they say the customer is always one is always right. The student in a college is a customer
because you paid tuition. The reader of a book is a customer because he paid for the book, you
understand everybody's a customer, which means they're always in a position to criticize, critique,
etc, etc. And so we bring that consumer attitude to the Quran. And even Muslims will read the Quran
and say, I don't get this part. I don't understand. I don't I read it. But it's kind of weird, this
little confusing this here and there. And they'll talk like you're talking about just any other
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:29
			book. This is not just any other book. You don't come to it like a customer who's always right. You
come to it like a beggar. You come to it bankrupt. And this is the only thing that will feed you.
You come to it like a dead person lost in the desert, and they're dying of dehydration, and you give
them a little bit of water. They're not going to complain what the temperature is.
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:59
			Or, you know, don't you have soda? Do you have orange juice instead? They're not they're just gonna
take it. When you're desperate for guidance, then you have you have to be ready. A law knows better
for me what I need to know and what I don't need to know. And another part of this very beautiful
part of this orientation from Allah to set our attitude right when we study the book of Allah,
because Allah has a lien. You can study the book of Allah. But if you don't have the right attitude,
and you don't have the right mindset and your heart is not in the right place, then you lilu Vika
Thielen wa
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:34
			Yeah, the vehicle here, same book will guide so many guides so many and a level misguide so many
with this book because they came with the wrong attitude. And that's what Allah says himself when he
says when you look at, he doesn't corrupt by means of this book except, you know, he doesn't mean
misguided with this book except those that are inherently corrupt. So what is that next lesson
within Elif la meme that I want to share with you? That is that we need to be okay. We need to be
okay. With with curbing and stopping our curiosity. There are some people who are still stuck at
Alif laam Meem.
		
00:20:35 --> 00:21:01
			They've been studying the Quran for 10 years, and they're doing research on one thing. What is Alif
Lam? Meem they never even got to the article. Kita volare Buffy I think Elif is a code. It's a
numerical value is 37.8 and lamb is another code. It has this value and meme is this and my theory
says elephant Nami me and they're just they're doing they're studying everything about the Quran
except the Quran itself.
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:17
			You get lost in these details, because now you're not receiving you're not the word of Allah is not
in charge, your curiosity is in charge. What you find interesting is in charge and some people you
know, they they they pursue Mata Szabo have been who,
		
00:21:19 --> 00:22:01
			if they did a lot of fitness, a lot of really, they only follow what is not allowed made it unclear
on purpose, to see what kind of you know, sick minds are only going to be curious about the things
Allah didn't want to tell you. You know, it's equally important in the role of a teacher to teach
you things. And it's equally important to not teach you certain things is to that's actually a
learning process to I will not tell you, you should not be asking certain questions. You shouldn't
be staying away from certain curiosities. Not every curiosity is good for you. We received so little
cough every Friday, Musa alayhis salam is on a journey. What was his orientation? lattice I leave ej
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:43
			in, don't ask me anything until I talk to you. That's part of his orientation. So it's not a you
know, in our society now, in the modern learning environment, every question is a good question. All
questions are welcome. About everything in anything. To some in some respect. There is an open field
for question the difference between useful and useless questions, ask questions, but ask which kind
useful ones, you're not going to if Allah did not want to tell you what it means. That means not
knowing is useful to you. Not not knowing what it means is the most beneficial thing for you. And so
that's a little bit of the story of Alif Lam Meem. But you'll notice how the law I told you it's
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:48
			like an orientation towards the book. And you'll notice something in the Quran that's remarkable.
		
00:22:49 --> 00:23:35
			Pretty much the majority of the times when you see one of these letters, I left la meme of sod Alif
laam Meem ra Elif lamora you see all these letters, what do you find next to them? Alif Lam? Meem

and over again, when these letters come up. The next ayah is about the Quran
		
00:23:37 --> 00:24:12
			over and over again. Every time these letters come up, and you say what does it mean? Allah says
Quran is clear, Quran is full of wisdom. I swear by the Quran that the revelation itself, it's like
Allah gives us that orientation. But that's part of that part of the orientation you easily forget.
easily forgotten that we have to humble our curiosity and guide our minds in a good direction. And
so it reminds us of that lesson over and over and over and over again. And he doesn't even keep the
same letters. He changes the letters. So the the curious cat inside of us goes why humming this
time? Why not? Alif laam Meem this time? What about a different camera? What is the left now this
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:17
			one has a different meanings going on over here? You know, so you want to
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:30
			test you with it? He tests you literally test you with it? Are you gonna get lost in these
curiosities, or find purpose in the book subhana wa Tada. Let's move forward to the next iOS is
radical. Kita booderee Buffy
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:59
			Daniel kuttabul arriba de vous de la mattina is one. It has several possibilities. But the first
thing I'd like to do with this is inshallah begin with some vocabulary. The key words in this ayah
are Kitab, hodan and Taka four words that if you know a little bit about that vocabulary, then we
get into the rules, it'll actually be easier for you to understand. The first of those words this
guitar or kata, kata in modern Arabic means to write. But actually in old Arabic, the pen was very
rare.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:37
			People used to write and the way these writers used to carve into stone, or into wood, or stitch
into leather, like hakama, right to stitch into leather. But the idea is when you scratch onto
something, and you make the letters, you write onto a tree or something like that, that's actually
originally Futaba. That's kinaba. Now, that's a little bit different from our time. Because when we
write something now, most of the time we're writing on a digital device, you're just touching your
fingers on something or typing on a keyboard. The thing is, when you do that, if you wrote a
sentence, and you don't like one word, what can you do?
		
00:25:38 --> 00:26:11
			Delete, select, cut, paste, or you want this sentence that's at the end of your paragraph, you want
it in the beginning of your paragraph, you just selected dragon, you put it in the beginning of your
paragraph, you can do that in digital writing. But if you were to take a piece of stone and hammer
it in and write something and then say this word should be over there, what are you going to do now?
Let's start over again, new rock. You know, you see kids back in the day, they have writing
assignments, and they they wrote something incorrectly, that another incorrectly and they cross it
out, cross it out, and then they
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:29
			and then they start over again. That's the pain of Futaba. Right? Because it's once you write it,
it's set. Once you write it, you can't there's no delete button. There's no erase button, there's no
drag and drop. You know, the whiteout was the greatest invention of my youth, like the most amazing
thing ever.
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:39
			You know, because I can't remember how many papers I've ripped, just erasing my like erasers were
slaughtered in my youth, you know?
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:52
			But yeah, this this idea of back in the day, you can't erase because you carved it in. You scratched
it in its set. By using the word Kitab. Allah azza wa jal is actually telling us a profound reality
about the Quran.
		
00:26:54 --> 00:27:43
			What it is, is what it is, there's no room for edit. There's no room to go back and change. There's
no room to modify, or to reconfigure. And by the way, when you carve something in is the order set,
or no, the order is set and is no longer subject to any change. Imagine an oral tradition, it was
revealed to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam orally, and yet Allah called it GitHub. He still called it
GitHub, because the order of the entire Quran every single surah in the entire Quran was already
meant to be set as literally set in stone. set in stone. So why is Fatiha first bacara second Allah
and one third Nyssa fourth, in this order, if this was flexible, you can call it Get up.
		
00:27:45 --> 00:28:20
			If it's flexible, you can call it Kitab. You can call it column. You can move around, but you can't
move it around. Today we set the way it is. It's etched in, it's carved and you understand. So
that's a very powerful indication within the word Kitab itself. But then again, there's another
thing about the difference between GitHub and Cora and some of you have heard me talk about this
before. This is an opportunity to review that lesson. The word Koran comes from Cora and Cora means
to read out loud data I told you already means to carve, and the two most popular names of Allah's
book are Kitab and Cora, Cora karate.
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:39
			These both of these mean two slightly different things. When Allah says Al Kitab, he's referring to
something that is written. When Allah calls it old Quran, he's referring to something that is what
recited something that is recited. Now, the thing is the recitation of the Quran happens here,
Indonesia,
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:43
			but the writing of the book, Where did it happen?
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:44
			A lot of
		
00:28:46 --> 00:29:16
			it happened up in the seven heavens, seventh heaven, and I'm surrounded by The Guardian Angels, you
know, the Iranian Bharara that are surrounding it, that's where Allah wrote the Quran. Now, the
thing is put on the rest of the recitation of the Quran happens here and this world is close to us,
but that writing is far away from us. that writing is not near that is far. So let me give you this
in a brief exercise, when something is close you call it this, when something is far you call it
that
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:21
			Allah azza wa jal did not say hi, Val. Kita blah, Buffy.
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:59
			He said Valley Cal Kitab La La Buffy that book he didn't call it this book. He called it that book
because where it is written where it is in the form of a book is not near that is actually far. But
the six times a lemon man talks about the Quran he says we're here Ilya hodel Quran in the huddle
Khurana Atilla tea here. He doesn't say that Koran guides are there that has been revealed to me. He
says this Koran has been revealed to me. He uses the closer word Why? Because the recitation happens
where the camera happens here. Nikita happened over there. So it's far away. So somehow
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:10
			Allah says that you can Kitab valuable Cavallari you know, the first thing you learn the other,
there's a continuity. Remember, they fly me made you curious about a teacher?
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:48
			Who taught him the letters? And letters obviously come in a book. And that where's the where's the
book? I mean, he's learning. I've never seen him with a book. Because he can't even read a book
anyway, where is the book that he learns from? It's pretty far away. You see, so there's this
continuous image that's being painted here. That's the first word I'll get up. The second word is
urabe. urabe is one of several words in the Arabic language used for doubt. Chuck is used massage is
used there are several other words that are used for doubt. But arrived fee that I'll read it to you
from shaft directly Hakata, Reba, Calico knifes, what
		
00:30:50 --> 00:31:07
			the reality of rave, is when a person is disturbed on the inside, and they're shaken up on the
inside. There are different kinds of doubts, like a car went by, and you're like, was that a
Mercedes? I'm not sure maybe a Hyundai because they designed them the same now. You know?
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:33
			That's a doubt that doesn't bother you. It doesn't bother you. But then there's a kind of doubt that
you're, you're you got a question in your mind and it's bothering you, and you don't understand. And
it's eating away at you and you can't sleep at night because of it. Until this confusion is removed
from you. You know, and that kind of doubt that you lose sleep over that disturbs you, that's
actually called
		
00:31:34 --> 00:32:14
			that's called a that's that's a we don't have to go deeper than that into the word, but a doubt that
causes disturbance, right? That's the simple definition of the word. Right. The next word that I
want to give you before we get into the idea itself, or who then we'll skip because that's rather
obvious is 13. And 13. comes from Word from word taqwa or require with Gaya actually means
protection and actually means over or excessive protection. They say in Arabic for example, I'll
pull it up for you. I took some notes on it, photo siana excessive hyper protection for your
colonias in forest forest moonwalk. a certain kind of horse is called a protective horse. Why is it
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:55
			called that? Either a Saba who didn't earn mineral mineral or our cattle how fearful Who is it? Haha
and you see Bahu Edna Shea in Lima, who basically what all that Arabic meant is you have a horse
whose you know the horse have a hope the feet. And in order to protect the feet, what do you do you
put like a metal clamp underneath it, and you put horseshoes on it right? But imagine a horse, a
battle horse who lost his horseshoes. His feet become extra sensitive, right? So it's walking on
uneven land. And it's very careful everywhere it places its feet, because its feet have become extra
sensitive. And that horse is said to be observing dakhla in Arabic before Islam, they said that
		
00:32:55 --> 00:33:21
			horse is exhibiting taqwa right now. Because it watches every single step which step might hurt me
which step will be okay for me to take so hard Allah, Allah used that word to describe the attitude
of a believer, and that's actually part of the meaning the the fundamental meanings of the word
mattina. Let's get into the ayah itself, the radical Kitab allottee. But I told you some things
about Delica. Why, you know, that has an implication. inshallah. Yeah.
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:56
			So there are six different ways of looking at this ayah. And if I was teaching this to Arabic
students, I would go through the Arab of this is six different ways. And it's just absolutely
fascinating. If I did that with you, though, you will run so fast out of here, there will be
accidents in the parking lot. So we weren't, we're not going to do that. I'll give you something
else. Instead, I'll give you the juice of it out, instead of getting giving you the technical part.
I'll give you the conclusion. Not the not the way you get to the conclusion. But the conclusion
itself. The first of them is I'll put it in English translation for you. And if not meme
		
00:33:57 --> 00:33:59
			that is the book.
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:04
			I left la meme is the orientation Wait, what? What do you just say?
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:42
			And then that is the book and I'll change the translation of book now. Because Al Kitab is also a
master in Arabic, which means that in fact is written or it's writing itself. Somebody heard it. I
want you to imagine somebody heard the Prophet recite or if not mean Vatican Kitab. And Ally's
telling them Did you just hear me say Alif laam Meem. That is writing. You know that right? That's
not just him talking. It must have come from something written. It's uniquely written, isn't it? And
it's written like nothing else has been written. That's why I started Valley, Calcutta, Boone, its
Valley Calcutta. The Hobbit is actually more of Milan, Hassan and Elisa nakikita. Dona hava, as
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:59
			though there is no other writing other than this, you've never experienced writing like this, that
you're getting to hear now. So what you're hearing is not just a man talking sallallahu alayhi
wasallam. He's actually taking from a book that comes from far away. That's the first implication
the second of them is that eliphalet
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:37
			meme they say would be the move to the valley Calcutta would be the hover in English that would
translate I left la meme is in fact that book of Islamism is one of the names of the Quran according
to the summer Adama, grammatically, then one of the names of local on Islamic and that's also
beautiful that one of the names of the Quran is mysterious, because there are things in it that will
humble the human being, no matter how much we learn. At the end of the day, we don't know anything.
At the end of the day, we don't know anything. One thing about the humility of and the weakness of
human knowledge allows origin says who elevate us Rocco nimbu, Tony Omaha Chico, la de La Moneda. He
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:48
			is the one who put pulled you out of the bellies of your mothers. And then he says that Allah Muna,
Shia, which means as he pulls you out of the bellies of your mothers, you didn't know anything.
		
00:35:49 --> 00:36:18
			Obviously, when we're babies, we don't know anything. But that Joomla could also be not just halia.
But Mr. Niva, which means you still don't know anything, he pulled you out of your mom's. And by the
way, you still don't know anything. So how the law like I love puts humanity in its place when he
speaks like this. So he says, Alif Lam, Meem Malik Al Kitab. That would be the name of the book. The
third implication is Alif laam mean by itself. The likkle Kitab is actually that is in fact the
book.
		
00:36:19 --> 00:37:01
			As though humanity was waiting. Where was the solar revealed? What did I tell you? Medina, Medina
was a population of who and who Jews and Christians and the Jews and the Christians had several
texts, several indications that the final book is coming. They were waiting. They were waiting. And
so when they heard and if not mean, he must have an outside teacher, immediately, Allah answers that
population to and says, that's the book you've been waiting for. That is the book, the one that you
pray for, that the signs would come and the victory would come. And the final messenger would come,
it has arrived, lolly, Calcutta. And then the second sentence would be loughrea, Buffy, there's
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:08
			absolutely no doubt in it, that it is the book you were waiting for. That is the one that's been
promised. And Nikita will marodex me.
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:48
			Don't say the alcohol kita boo, boo. That's the book that's been promised before, the one that
you've been anticipating. When you assess the Buddha, Allah Lavina cafaro. We will read later on in
sleutel Baqarah. The Jews were so anxious to look for the final messenger and the last book to come.
They used to talk about it. They used to say, Man, these courageous, they beat us up in battle all
the time. But next time courage are messengers coming soon, with the last book and when he comes
alive is guaranteed and victory done, we'll show you. That's what they used to do. And so a lot
points to it. It says it could GitHub, Laurie, Buffy. And then the third part who then limit again,
		
00:37:48 --> 00:38:26
			that's the final piece of it. You can say this is more or less raw, which means an incredible
guidance, powerful guidance for people who want to be careful, people who want to take every step
protectively, avoiding harm that will come to themselves. People that want to live a careful life
for those people. There's absolutely guidance inside of this book. On this occasion, what I want to
share with you before I move any further is that in this orientation, there's all of this is
orientation, right? And a lot in his wisdom decided that after the party how this should be the next
era. So it's like this sooner will give us this picture of Islam and the Quran like nothing else. So
		
00:38:26 --> 00:39:01
			our minds are properly ready to engage the book of Allah the rest of our lives, right? So these are
out there very valuable. So it's okay, if I'm taking my time, if I finish this lunch today, within
the next 1520 minutes, and we only got through three, four hours, I won't be sad. I'm not I'm not
worried about finishing more with you. I would rather be internalized some of these lessons in
shallow data and every time we hear these IOD we relive them. Okay, so what I want to share with you
now is first thing, this has happened the origin and Islam in Delhi, Calcutta. But then there are
two principles that allow xojo revealed two things that will define my relationship with this book.
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:45
			The first of those principles is Laurie, Buffy. There's absolutely no room for any doubt that
bothers you on the inside whatsoever in it. In this book, there's no room for any skepticism and any
uncertainty. I'm not so sure. Is it really from Allah? There's no room for that whatsoever, not in
this book. And so the question then arises, how not, and we'll get to that in a second. The first of
them is there should be no room for doubt. And the only way you will have no doubt left. How can How
can you talk to somebody who says this is the book of God? They'll say, Well, I have a Bible, that's
the book of God to somebody else who bring a VEDA from the Hindu scripture and say, This is a book
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:49
			of God. Actually, this is a book of lots of gods, you know.
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:51
			So
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:59
			how are you saying Book of Mormon is a book of God? Your book, The Quran is the book of God, how am
I supposed to know that? This one's right and those are wrong
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:06
			See, some of you are in college a friend comes to you, you know, there's so many religions,
somebody's gotta be wrong. How do you know you guys are right?
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:09
			Well, I Well, you know, luck of the draw.
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:19
			Sometimes you have kids that come and come to their parents and say, you know, don't you ever wonder
mom? When judgment day comes? Which one's going to be right?
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:22
			And moms freak out like,
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:29
			what do I recite on this child? What Rukia? Do I do? You know?
		
00:40:32 --> 00:41:09
			How are we supposed to know? How are we supposed to know without any room would have any doubt that
this is the book of Allah? How did the followers of Musa alayhis salaam know without a doubt that
he's a messenger? They questioned him so much, didn't they? But when he struck the staff, and the
water parted, if you were in that audience, there is no room left. He's a messenger of God, you know
what I'm just gonna go through this river, with adult allows him on either side to massive mountains
of water, standing and retaining the shape without a container. And I'm going through in the middle.
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:22
			He's definitely a messenger data. That's I'm done questioning. I'm good. I'm straight. I'm sad. In
other words, when does doubt get removed? When you see a miracle?
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:25
			Doubt is removed when you see a miracle.
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:35
			The people who follow the Sally's Oh, question is, are they still around? When they see a Claiborne
turned into a real living bird by a loss permission, the doubt is gone.
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:39
			When when a staff turns into a snake, the doubt is gone.
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:58
			But the question is, this book is not parting any rivers. This book is not turning any sticks into a
snake. It was just printed glossy paper. Where's the miracle? Allah azzawajal gave us this book. And
it's miraculous, not for the eyes. It's miraculous for the ears.
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:21
			This is the last of all miracles, those miracles that were given to previous prophets to remove
doubt, what's the purpose of miracles? To remove doubt? That's the purpose. Don't forget that. It's
not special effects. It's not so you look at and say, Whoa, that was awesome. That's not the
purpose. The purpose is there should be no doubt left. That's the reason those miracles were given.
But within one generation, the miracle dies.
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:29
			The Miracle dies. Why? Because for the next generation, that miracle is just a story. They didn't
see it.
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:47
			For you to experience a miracle, you have to see it with your own eyes. Even that next generation of
the newest, or the next generation of the followers of a Saudi Sara or Sally Harrison, or Ibrahim
alayhis salam when Latina Allah says there are some people with him. When he walked out of a fire
without burning. There were some people within
		
00:42:48 --> 00:42:54
			those people when they tell the story to their children, it is just a story if they didn't see it,
like I Come on dad.
		
00:42:55 --> 00:43:02
			Really? Okay, fine, fine. After all, this is Sunday school, I'll follow along. But really, I have my
doubts.
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:04
			I have my questions.
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:46
			But this final or on this last revelation that Allah gave us, Allah gave us a miracle inside it.
That is not for the eyes. It's for the ears. And it's not for every year. There's a big difference.
Now, those miracles, even if you weren't follower of Buddha, if you were just fishing in the river,
and the water parted. And you looked at that, man, you saw that man, he's got some connection with
God, I don't know what's going on over here. You would see that as a miracle Yes or no? He wouldn't
immediately. But the Quran, anybody who reads it? Are they gonna see it as miraculous? No. You have
people who read it? Yes, you do home new flora. It increases them and even more hatred. They used to
		
00:43:46 --> 00:44:03
			hate Islam before after reading the Quran. They really hate Islam. They really hate Islam. There are
people who are skeptical before after reading a translation, they become even more skeptical, isn't
it? So the question is, where's the miracle? The Miracle Allah decided for the last messenger. And
this last message is no longer free.
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:40
			It's not just anybody just glances at it and they see a miracle Nope. The only way you will find the
miracle of this book is if you come looking for it. And you reflect inside this book, and you dig
and ponder into this book, then it will become clear this can only be from God. If you give it a
shallow Look, it will give you nothing if you decide to dive in deep. I had a friend in college who
was born in the Muslim family, but they're not very religious family. They sent him to college, he
decided to do a Bachelor's in philosophy. What happens after a Bachelor's in philosophy or a man has
a janazah in any language.
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:59
			So he's completely gone off the deep end. He's completely agnostic. He's a skeptic, he doesn't
believe in anything. He's not even sure if he exists. You know, he's one of those guys. He's out
there floating in space. And then he was challenged to ponder on the Quran, just ponder over the
Quran. And so he did. He brought all of his philosophical questions.
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:37
			All of his from every ism you can think of you brought to the Quran. And you just studied it for a
couple of years. You just studied the Quran asking it questions, hoping you can find something he
can that can finally philosophy can crush this book. But he kept getting defeated by this book. And
you know, people that study philosophy love to debate. So when they lose a debate, they get really
ticked off. their ego is hurt. So they want to come back and crush it this the next time. So he
keeps coming back with more criticisms. But he's not arguing with a person who's he arguing with
this book. He just debated with this book. He used to like literally slam it shut sometimes. Because
		
00:45:37 --> 00:45:56
			it shut him up. He was looking for it. I bet you he doesn't have an answer for this. And he reads it
on there again, I gotta find something else. And he would go back and forth, angry with this book.
And two years later, he told me himself, it. I wrestled this book and it pinned me down. And I came
to this deep
		
00:45:58 --> 00:46:39
			Yeah, no, no, I pinned me down. This is largely Buffy, but it doesn't give itself for free. He could
have been a philosophy student read a translation of the Quran say nothing here and move on. But if
you decide to ponder, why am I saying ponder, that's not something I came up with. That's something
that was on claim alpha later on, whether we can I mean, indeed it la la vida de la Finca de la doti
then reflect on the Quran. Because Had it been from someone, anyone other than Allah, they would
have found a lot of contradictions in it. By the way, if you study the Quran in a shallow way, you
will find contradictions, unless as if they reflect, they will not find contradictions, which means
		
00:46:39 --> 00:47:02
			if they don't reflect what will happen, they will find contradictions. They will make websites,
blogs, videos dedicated to the contradictions. They will make lists of contradictions in the Quran,
because they don't do to double. And if they were to do that about then they will become convinced
that this can only be the word of Allah. The first part of my relationship with the Quran is there's
no doubt in it. It's a miracle.
		
00:47:03 --> 00:47:13
			The second part of my relationship with the Quran hudl Matatini. It is a guidance. It's advice. It's
counsel, who then literally means guidance for someone who's lost.
		
00:47:14 --> 00:47:27
			Hey, Diane, Arabic comm is closely related to the word hadiya, or hodja, which means a gift for the
Arab that was lost in the desert. The problem when getting lost in the desert is you don't even know
if you're walking in a straight line.
		
00:47:28 --> 00:47:38
			You can be walking in a straight line but ended up circling and ending up where you started, you
understand? What's the biggest gift you can give to someone lost in the desert.
		
00:47:39 --> 00:47:54
			That's why Heidi and Heidi are related to each other. If you flew over with a helicopter and dropped
a water bottle and says good luck, man, that's not enough of a gift he needs to die. The heavier he
needs is the dire you understand that's the one that's going to help him survive, to know which
direction to go to.
		
00:47:55 --> 00:48:14
			This word itself, it illustrates not the intellectual relationship we have with the Quran, where
there's no doubt that's already covered in lava feet. This is the second dimension of our
relationship with the Quran, a relationship in which I am constantly seeking direction. I am
constantly just like our bodies have a relationship with water.
		
00:48:16 --> 00:48:53
			I can't say I already had water yesterday, no need today. I can't, I will my body will necessitate
water, isn't it? Allah azza wa jal in the Quran, when he describes the revelation of the Quran, he
always compares it to what water, he compares it to water, there's a very close relationship that
you have with water that you have with the Quran. Your thirst doesn't let you go every few hours,
you have to drink again, whether it's water, or it's some kind of fruit that has water in it or food
that has water in it. The water is always there, the liquid is always there, right?
		
00:48:54 --> 00:49:30
			every few hours, you're going to have to fill the thirst of your heart as well. And that water, that
water of Revelation is actually what the Quran itself. Every few hours, we stand in front of Allah,
in salah and say, you know Siddhartha was the team, I'll translate that figuratively. Let us have a
drink again. We're thirsty again. You need to guide us again, guidance and thirst are closely
related. You understand? So now, that's the second bit of our relationship. When there is no doubt
left and you're completely convinced this is the word of Allah, then you're going to come to the
Quran. And you're going to ask Allah for guidance, and then when he gives you guidance, you will
		
00:49:30 --> 00:49:38
			follow it because there's no doubts, because there's no doubts, when you see young people reluctant
to follow the word of Allah.
		
00:49:39 --> 00:50:00
			Not so motivated to follow the word of Allah. They're not taking the hotel watin seriously, you know
where the problem usually is. The problem is lava Fie. He hasn't been met yet. You have to take care
of lava V and then what do you get hudl with a cane. There is an order here. There's an order that
has to be established. So we have to
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:25
			Convinced our young generation of the miraculous power of the Quran of why can only be the word of a
light can't be anything else. There's no possibility of doubt inside of this book. And so these
three things are in a particular sequence. And that's the next thing I wanted to quickly highlight
before you begin again, without getting technical. There is another reading of this ayah which is
that you can Kitab larae Buffy la Mata Ki. Now,
		
00:50:26 --> 00:51:07
			altogether, what that means is, that is in fact a book. There's absolutely no doubt whatsoever that
in it, there is guidance for those who have Taqwa for those who want to protect themselves. In other
words, if you want to save yourself, if you want to lead a careful life, there is no way Allah will
not give you a drink. There is no way Allah will leave you misguided. You know, we're living in the
age of over information where people are thinking, I don't know what to follow. There's so much
conflicting information. If you can turn to Allah and say, I just want to protect myself, you're a
B, and then you come to this book, The Allies guarantee Laura Murphy who dallin Watene, there's
		
00:51:07 --> 00:51:28
			absolutely no doubt no disturbing, no feeling whatsoever, that this guide, this book will absolutely
guide you in a time where everything else will be confusing. This will be the one place of counsel
that will never let you down milazzo just give us that give us that lifelong relationship. The final
thing I want to share with you before I let you guys go right on time, but the law
		
00:51:29 --> 00:52:12
			is they say who the libertine some grammarians say that hotel motel in kahal, Yeti Harlan, Hannah
Robin, that it comes as an adverbial phrase. Now that's difficult English as well, let me simplify
that for you. It's very cool. You know, when I say for example, the car is running. That's a running
car, I saw the car as was as it was running, the car is actually act, the engine is turned on. And
it's actually vibrating, you understand. But if you say the car runs, the car runs, the car may not
be on right now. But it has the potential if you started, it's gonna run you understand. If you
notice something that's actually engaged in the act, you can see it actively doing what you say it's
		
00:52:12 --> 00:52:13
			doing that's called a HUD.
		
00:52:15 --> 00:52:16
			Otherwise, it's just a safer.
		
00:52:17 --> 00:52:25
			Now Allah azzawajal here says who don't live in Harlan, one of the meanings of that is, not only
does this book have the power to guide you,
		
00:52:26 --> 00:53:04
			it is actually actively guiding it is engaged in the act of guiding. It's not like it's got the
potential for it, but it's not coming out. It's actually running the engines running. And you can
see it running, it doesn't just have the potential for it. And so allows Odin made this something
that is like a living experience for the believer. There are miracles of guidance in the Quran that
only you will experience, nobody else can explain them to you. You are going to be in a state of
difficulty in your life. You're going to open up a laws book, you're going to read some page, and
you're going to read some IOD and it's gonna have the answer to the exact problem you had. And you
		
00:53:04 --> 00:53:29
			cannot prove that to anyone. You cannot convince anyone else that's a miracle that is a personal
gift of guidance from Allah to you. With the guidance of Allah came to life for you. That's the
height of hidden, hidden limit, okay. For that original generation. They were so fortunate
