Nouman Ali Khan – Ramadan 2021 – Qur’anic Expression #05

			Now we're like, okay, it's been a little slower. And also that might be right. So welcome, everyone.
So we're gonna get started continuing our reading of Dr. Simon
		

			money. And we're just for my students, I was going to read the introduction to this book and
translate it for them. They're not at the level where they can read this on their own yet, but I
still wanted to introduce them to the concepts in this book. And before I give them some really fun
examples from this book, I wanted to kind of have them appreciate how the author organized his
thoughts, and how he you know, you know, what's, what's lying ahead in this book. So he wanted to
kind of give us a taste of that and his introduction. So we've been doing that for a few sessions,
and we're going to continue reading some of that. It's a really interesting topic now that he's
		

			going to touch on that's going to come up in the book, so I'm going to just get right back into it.
I'm
		

			also hopeful Seattle is there man, Arnie casiotone, libido and luster.
		

			And the features of the way the Quran uses expressions are many, there's many different styles that
are in the Quran. And we don't want to go too deep into our examination right now. So he's saying,
I'm dropping all these bombs right now in this introduction, but this isn't deep, I'm just kind of
touching the surface. Well, I can not worry about until
		

			August, but we just wanted to give a few examples only so that our intention becomes clear. So that
we make clear and union who costs Yeah. What did God 50 of the Quran so that you appreciate how
accurate even a single word in the Quran is? Well, no, I haven't. It's their model of reality and
the energy
		

			a little far for them, you know, for me fee agreement, in other words, fun. And so part of that is
also kind of the numerical thing that he talked about. And he says, what a remarkable artistic and
literary feature that is in the Quran, for anyone, so now he's going to do a different thing for
him. For him, NACA is having a lot. A lot been going through with Darby. Fie, was at that time with
a Camila visa fee how the woman went after that. So if you were to look at any ask any dimension of
expression, so what does he mean by dimension of expression, students of language will appreciate
this. So one dimension of expression, the way we talk is emphasis. So you can really stress
		

			something when you're saying it, you can double stress it triple stress it or not stress it at all,
or say something very lightly and casually. So that's one aspect, one aspect of expression. Another
aspect of expression could be whether you're speaking directly or indirectly, whether using active
verbs are passive verbs. So these are all different kinds of things that we don't think about when
we speak everyday, but we use them all the time. Right? So if I say, I've got bad news, right? So
you're, you're using something called a pub, you're, you could have just told me what the bad news
is. But you're preparing me mentally when you say I've got bad news. So you're using a style of
		

			expression, right? And if somebody is going out of their way to say, Man, that was so bad, it was so
terrible. I mean, it's incredibly horrible. It was so disgusting. That Oh, when they keep describing
describing describing before they get to the point it's called, it's an art, it's actually a device
in bed. Right? So we use these things. In everyday speech, we're not very good at it. Sometimes, it
makes us less than eloquent. But someone who knows how to use these devices naturally, is highly
eloquent, highly effective in their speech, when to use what tense when to use more words or less
words when to stress more when to de stress, right? It's like an expert driver, depending on the
		

			road, if they're driving a stick shift machine, right? Which gear do need to be in? Does it need to
take the foot off the clutch? Do they need to hit the accelerator? How much of the brake? Do they
need to press like an expert racer, right? So just to make that curve perfectly, or to make that
turn perfectly right to steer perfectly? languages like that? It's it requires, for people who
master it, it requires, like the exact right kind of expression and the right moment, a lot of us
find ourselves we don't we're at a loss of words, right? So when we're talking, we find ourselves
tripping up on our words are not finding the right expression. And that's a lack of our own
		

			eloquence, right? And there are other aspects to that, like, maybe it's stress or fear, or whatever
else, like somebody's getting nervous in an interview, right? So there's so many things that go into
speech. And of course, when you're speaking like I'm speaking to you right now, there are plenty of
times where I'm speaking grammatically incorrectly. Just to get a point across, I have a habit of
adding you knows in the middle of my speech, without even realizing it, you know what I'm saying?
You know, like, it's like, you know, and it's like, it's like, it's not grammatically correct, but
I'll just say it's like, you know, get it. It's like, it's like, you know, you know, it's like you
		

			could have a compilation of its likes, and you knows from my speeches, it'll be a million of them in
one episode, right? Or the word
		

			Right, I use the word right a lot.
		

			Right? So these, this is centered again, these are, I guess in a sense gaps they are, they are
natural errors that happen in the course of spoken experience when I'm talking, and when you're
talking. But when we write something out, then there's no room for such things.
		

			The Quran is not a written experience for humanity, the first exposure to the Quran was a spoken
experience. And in a spoken experience, you don't get to flip the pages and say, Wait, I said this
before in paragraph two, there'll be a redundancy or there'll be inconsistency. So I said, I should
check my essay. Because when you guys write a paper for school, then you're like, wait, but then my
conclusion, I've already sent the sentence in my to erase it here. All right, I shouldn't be
repeating it. Even as I just said this to you, I said the word AI twice. So if there was a
transcript of me speaking, there will be tons of grammatical errors.
		

			So here, what we're learning about to put on and its expression, especially because it's an oral
transmission, especially because of this little loss of a loved one, it was delivered this message
which approves your release early, and he was just speaking of that. And yet, it was so precise and
flawless is the is one of the most baffling dimensions of the study of the product. We're reading
something we're studying something that's two things at the same time, and never are something
things are never two things at the same time. It This is a book in the Arabic script about 600 some
pages. And it's a speech that lasted 23 years, that is transcribed onto 600 some pages. So we think
		

			of it as a book. But the Sahaba didn't think of it as a book, they thought of it as a speech. They
thought of it as words, not written words, they believe those words are coming from the heavens
written there. But nobody saw pages. People just heard the Prophet speak. So hold on. Right. So for
either never good method. So he's saying, by the way, that if you look at the Quran, any any
dimension of the crowds expression, you're going to find a unity with
		

			a perfect, comprehensive unity laser on the wall. And when I say that, you're not going to find any
ups and downs in it, no contradictions in it, it's going to be continuous and perfect throughout.
But you don't know how often it's a PD method. So if you were to look, for example, at the concept
of emphasis stress, would have to have thoughts about within more at the bottom of the mountain, he
what he has done funnier than with the Camila manasi, when he called the mountain, if you were to
look at stress in the Quran, despite the fact that it's in so many different contexts, there's an
III, which illustrates something in the third, I also talked about her and 10 years before then he
		

			stressed something very similar in an iron sort of units. And on 15 years after that, something
similar came up and an idea that was revealed in like, you know, on Enron, or in like, sort of one
off coupon or something, right? They are a year these things were said years apart from each other.
Right? And he's saying if you look at all these places where stress is used in different places in
the text, and different places over time, they'll have no, you know, closeness to each other, you'll
find that they all still synchronize with each other perfectly.
		

			As if they were all woven together.
		

			And each of them placed in its perfect context. Last CFA level one of the fee Manasa comau, one
Manasa, Padma and Colima, Latina and okra and let's see what we have. Okay, this is incredible. This
statement is very powerful. He's saying, you're going to find that stress that was mentioned and
what I keep saying stress, some of you are thinking like psychological stress, like I'm feeling
stressed out. No, that's not the stress we're talking about here. We're talking about the stress as
in this is definitely going to happen in America. I don't understand it, wherever you I've been
promised is going to absolutely is absolutely true. That absolutely before the word true, that's a
		

			stress, right. So he's saying every single even tiniest stressor has been placed perfectly in its
own context. Meaning if Allah stressed something in Sorrento Valley, it was perfectly situated for
the context of suta. valia also is consistent with other places of Oberon, where stress is used by
comparative study. So it takes into account what's happening inside the surah. And it also takes
into account other things that are happening in other solos, because eventually somebody will
compare. Right? So it's keeping both things in mind and that again, is something humanly for me
impossible. I can't possibly be saying something right now. To the degree of 1000
		

			percent precision, taking into account the talk I have to give you right now, another talk I gave 10
years ago.
		

			I can't that's not on my mind anymore. Right? And I can't forget the concepts. I can't how
impossible is it for me say Did I use the word definitely that time? 10 years ago, I should use
definitely in a similar context here again, can I do that? It's gone. I don't even remember how much
dresses I use. 30 seconds ago. 20 seconds. I don't remember. Speech moves forward. And you don't
have the long term memory for what devices what tiny little features you use just a few minutes ago
or seconds ago, even you just keep thinking I have it were analog like that. You can vaguely
remember the concept you you said, and then somebody reminds me something else. I heard your speech.
		

			Man, the way you stress this. I'm like, Hey, I said that. Yeah, you said it. It was great. Don't
you? Know? Let me watch the video. Oh.
		

			I can't remember. Human. Right.
		

			So that's the point he's making focus on how do you actually to be enough?
		

			So corralejo fine. Could stress something by saying in now you guys are in Naya. What does that
mean? Certainly, it could use the word certainly alone. Oh, could you uh, could you be lamb? Or it
could use the Lamb of emphasis where the lamb represents like in Santa Luffy horses, like Pico said
is in Los Luffy. husen is truly in loss. So the lamb can be used for stress or emphasis. Oh, yeah.
jobina.
		

			Or it could merge between both of them in a single sentence like in an insider love the hustle.
Right? So you've got enough and you got to know when and another lava Nakula now they're in
yesterday, a Tabby and then the OB ob, follow your sacral and louzada Now move and mow the Redmond
Zoo a man who will talk about foofy Moulton is decree enema water that are on work at Arnica. And
when I hear he's saying that if you took a really delicate look at all the places where in knives
use or llamas use, you'll find at the places where the lung was used. You couldn't remove it or add
it in not to double emphasize it, it wouldn't make sense they're not as much as it does with just
		

			the lung. And the same thing happens with the the inner sometimes the inner is used with the lamb
and without an adding the lamb extra making an extra stress there just wouldn't add up this is
actually something fall off make a lot of mistakes and do like was that was that, you know, law or a
number of inequality municipality or was it in Nova naka de la mina saw the thing which one was it?
Was it with the number without the law? It all sounds similar. But when you study this subject, then
you're like no, this context allow us without too long because that makes more sense here and it
that logic also kicks in as you're reviewing your Quran for where your hoodoo method so for example,
		

			Allah says in Allah look it up. Shadi Don't be covered when I said I didn't put the header cuz I
didn't put the header cuz I put the header cuz Yeah. Now I said what should he do on a copy? What's
the grammar of Should we go to a pub? You
		

			know, should he there was no law? No. Oh no. should he do on a copy? Oh, how could it be?
		

			And if left or right yeah, so in Omaha is definitely what part of the sentence right so what should
you look at this next refer that comes along?
		

			That's the hub in Omaha looked it up and showed you the car cover. So, in this the in the book data
has been emphasized. But Tisha does not have a nominal emphasis. Like it's not in the Lucha Lucha de
la. Right. More couldn't be in so this has been stressed with the word in there's emphasis because
of in Nigeria alone. Female before female Latina IV that in the Koran in many different places in
Brooklyn you find something like this. But he also says we have kulu and he says also we're in now
Rebecca, other hackers were in now Rebecca read this for me. Oh, we're in Rebecca Nasha de la
Shaggy. shaggy is on a four so in this should
		

			be again we'll talk about today but this time in the beginning of the month data but on the harbor
there's also something what's there Yeah, its emphasis. More couldn't be enough one not this one has
been stressed with enough and with them. We have good will law and another place you put on while
law who should the good cop and Allah and by the way shadow Erica means intense in taking
retribution.
		

			So certainly allies intensive taking retribution. Certainly are masters truly intense and taking
retribution. And he also says at allies intensive taking retribution, no stress billetto kid with no
emphasis. So the same statements being made a lot of Shut up. But one time with two stresses one
time with one stress and one time with no stress.
		

			Right, where goodwill law have fallen Rahim.
		

			Allah says Allah is Forgiving, extremely forgiving. merciful. There's no in Allah here without
docread FEMA Well, the Armada data, FEMA, what the Amitabh Dida? 10 w who thalassa Tasha moderen He
says, Allah has said, well law hula photomed Rahim in many contexts, many different places in the
Quran that reach about 13 contexts in 13 different contexts without any stress. Well, mahalo 14,
we're all in Allah for Allah. And Allah has also said in Allah, certainly Allah, walk in and be more
couldn't be enough for acceleration in Demo Day and in more than 20 places he put in on the put
certainly on it. Well, you're lucky to be in our land FEMA, well, they're all from Canada. And he
		

			has put in that and done both in a bunch of other context. So Allah has not stressed single stress
and double stress in different places. Well, you therefore, we are going to fit Wi Fi dummy writing
ohata. And he has removed or added stressors in different expressions in Milan, that are in the
hundreds, well, who are euro, he frequently Danica cut off at that meeting? Well, we'll be our
kulula lymphie McCann, he has been a police officer who this year.
		

			And so he takes into consideration and all of that he takes into consideration a very delicate
precision and expression. And every single word is placed in its context, according to what the
context demands. We hate to let your ship for what the rules are between work and then that really
work at the atomic marketing team mechanic at work. And so, whereby it wouldn't be correct to put a
statement of emphasis or stress in a place in a context, which demands that you don't stress when
		

			the accident occurred in FY Moulton in academic marketing.
		

			And he's never stressed something double in a place where only a single stress should be called for.
Right so it's pretty epic study. Why is a single stressor used here? Why is a double stressor using
it? Why is that the right thing? Why is this the right thing? Right? This is the advanced level of
linguistics that the Arabs had ancient the ancient Egypt has naturally and we spent years studying
and trying to grasp it and really powerful stuff.
		

			what goes on
		

			in and that is how the situate the matter is with other things other than in for Hawaii Apolo method
and so he says For example, good good hold on the
		

			rubber well, family What are how many akun minahasa if you don't forgive me, and you don't show me
loving care, I shall be a corn latest
		

			melodic Okay, from the from those that have lost Bella Toki there's no stressor here. You remember
how we did melodic young soul and the heavy melodic is young Solon and the heavy Swoboda is young
Suren. But you can double stress the melodic right at the end. So watch what Allah says we have all
Mr. Ratan ostra we're in London for Lana what Uh hum Nah, not learner con like Nakhon like icon here
lightest la emphasis naku done to extra newnes minahasa.
		

			So, here you have a condominial hostellerie I shall be from those who have lost learn nakoula
nominal capacity we shall definitely definitely definitely be from those that have lost their three
stressors here, the lamb and the two loons at the bito kegonsa by stressing the response so he here
he did it without stress and here he there was stress. The ilam yohanna will not wait for learner
learner coonan minahasa in another place in the Quran. So Florida. If he doesn't, if our master does
not give us loving care, and he doesn't forgive us, we will absolutely absolutely be from those that
have lost we Tokido jawab by stressing the answer, what music they love and what the most popular
		

			shot Palooza Liga has ever my apollyon moteino was here for a second but what drew it in her head is
highly CRP ha, while oltenia cameras and by us. And so you'll find here linac when another alarm
that stresses forward, and alarm that comes in the very beginning even before the condition was
mentioned. All of that is according to the context demands and it's absolutely not okay to place an
idea from any of these items other than other contexts, they will still have the same effect. And we
shall clarify how accurate all of this is. These are the mysteries he's going to solve in this book.
		

			Those are the people that require regularly they notice that there's lots of similar speech and
they'll put on, right. And for a casual reader, they might find it very redundant, like it's
repeating itself a lot. For a careful reader, they'll say, he repeated it exactly here, but not
exactly over there. He made a little change here. And he made a few changes here. Why did he make
two changes here and one change there and no change there. And this is the this is the conversation
that kofod have with each other, after they're done thoughtfully, and they're having some like
barbecue late night like, Man, that one with a child who really gets me every time man. Because if
		

			it goes to get on similar if they are a different train altogether, like when you guys are
memorizing solar, and you go to a similar if you're on a different, different planet altogether. And
then your teacher says, Hey, wait, what you're doing what we're doing, you are
		

			just not surah This is different surah Will you write, so when he does? That's because the similar
one takes you somewhere else. This book will describe why these different, you know, stresses are
used in different places. And stress is just one dimension of speech, last sentence for the day. But
no one ever thought about Tokyo Singapore on the agenda who know happened for me at an idea with a
NASA content. And as I started Tokyo,
		

			was the loving market that was really hot. So if you were to take a comprehensive look, in the Quran
on just stress, like as if we were writing a book just on stress and overrun, you would find it and
artistic painting a depiction that is of the highest caliber, where everything is connected and
weave together, you know, despite the expansive subject matter of stress, and because despite the
fact that there are so many different kinds of stressors you can use, and there's so much variety in
that in the Arabic language, not just in nine, not. There's lots of ways to stress, right? And
despite all of those variations, you'll find one giant comprehensive view. So that that's what he's
		

			getting at kind of we're getting, we're getting our taste buds. He's saying, Okay, well, if you're
really interested in this subject, this book is going to be juicy for us what he's basically saying,
right? For Arabic students, when they first start learning, they're like, Oh, no, that makes
something vessel, I know is the beginning of a sentence or lamb lamb Lamb of Turkey, that doesn't do
anything. It doesn't change the app. I love the word. Fine. That's what it does. But why is Allah
using it? Right? This is not the book about what it does. This is a book about why is Allah using
it, and what makes it so beautiful and so powerful. So inshallah when we're almost done with the
		

			introduction, but some pretty cool subject matters being introduced, so I'm happy that you're
getting to know that he's yawning, not because he's bored if you're young, because you're bored.
He's yawning because he was doing taraweeh last night.
		

			Right. This is an Islamic gone
		

			all the time again.
		

			He's chained when you're squeezed more movies. Okay. All right. Cool. So really cool. Robert, do
your best to get the rest of guys down while Rich lumbergh
		

			that's really good pronunciation of
		

			friends.
