Nouman Ali Khan – Surah An-Najm #11 – The Magnificent Encounter with Angel Gibreel

			Allah is now describing this as how close he came to the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, the
distance between the string of the both when Neji meet either
		

			male oneness or he will come women of our
		

			be unity v doesn't just teach you about the Quran. You can also learn Arabic from a brilliant
teacher who started nominally Han has made this beautiful ancient language easy to understand. So
you're not only improving your language skills, but your understanding of the Quran to tap now to
check out the unit TV.
		

			We left off at Bismillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah he was only he was actually his main do
Milnerton first of all, first of all means he became upright. He became even, but it's the what
means for something to be, you know, to even to stand up can be STR like first of all, Allah Suki in
the Quran, when the when the stock stands up, when he stands tall Festiva a first Tacoma and la
ciudad de el Hachiya. And let the Halacha Allahu Allah Allah and a festival here means Gibreel stood
up and took his original form, the way Allah actually created him, because when gibril came to the
Prophet sites, I mean the angel in the in the in the cave, he wasn't in his true form, because he
		

			had to be able to fit inside the cave. But now Allah is describing an incident where Gibreel took
his actual full form, incomplete, incomplete, full form, then with Africa in the hara team Abadi in
the war war Canada who was set up this was in the early stages of prophethood. There's a
disagreement about when this happened. I'm more inclined to think this is the second meeting after
the spirit of * Haluk. This is a second meeting, there was a gap in Revelation. And then also
salam saw him again. And when he saw him again, he had taken over the entire sky. That's when he
went and he said, cover me and all of that happened. So there are some discrepancies in the
		

			narrations. But it seems to me that this is when the full viewing happened, not the original meeting
where the aircraft is made up because of the color because that was that first hour, and he wasn't
on the horizon then Okay. Anyway, Qaddafi Hadith in Accra Halima Mohammed Abdullah Abdullah Abdullah
homemade Wajima on RDBMS Road, Syd Mead said to me at the Jana Han Kulu Jana has been higher so
don't focus. So he says when he took his true form, that those are some names of the narrator's it
was 600 wings and each one of them was covering horizon after horizon Felicity wha hoo ha gonna be
mine and be mana daddy shape fee that he can call around him. So this means that he was actually he
		

			took his place in one narration that even describes he sat on a chair above the horizon, and his
wings just spanned over the entire day you couldn't see the sky anymore. All you could see was your
green light the entire sky the entire horizon was just taken over by debris lollies. Okay.
		

			So what World War II ballistic armor now that is the original so it's the one here means standing up
write a summary The novel is this actually linguistic commentary? So now
		

			let me see if I want to read the rest of the story or just explain it to you.
		

			Yeah, okay. I'll explain it to you. Allah will now describe how the Prophet experience seeing
Gibreel nowadays around.
		

			And he already described this, you know, the mind of him, the traveling ability of him now the
meeting itself, the viewing himself itself of this mighty angel, and when he took his form, well who
have been overlooking Allah, he was on the highest horizon and offical Allah would mean, right above
the head. Some say this could mean on the right side. But actually, the more the offical movie, the
clear sky is the one right above your head, the east and the west, the North and the South. There's
some discrepancy in your view, buildings are in the way or, you know, the trees are in the way
mountains are in the way, but the sky that is uninterrupted is one that's right above you or
		

			football arena. So Gibreel is being described as right above. I just, we can't even imagine this but
also Salam is looking up and he's just seeing the horizon taken over by this magnificent being and
he recognizes him so well who I will also kill Allah for my dinner. Then he started coming down now
can you imagine the level of intimidation then the GBI Sam starts coming descending. Then he says
further than law, that the law actually means then he started hovering low. That then comes from the
Arabic word then one. This is one of those words that I will remind you of tomorrow, you're going to
need it tomorrow. He descended then he became he was hanging like a bucket. dulu actually means a
		

			well bucket.
		

			The one that has a rope on it, by the way, interesting the rope is coming back again. You see that?
So anyway, so he was hanging like a rope. Now the thing with the with the bucket is something is
holding it from above right? The imagery almost describes dibela and Islam is hovering, and Allah is
holding him up. You know, like Allah describes about anything that flies that Allah is the 1 million
Seco Nanda Rahman right. Birds are not being held in the sky except by a rock man. Gibreel Ali Salam
is being the namesake of him is being done in the sky. He's dangling in the sky being held by a
Russian beautiful language, then, I mean, actually slightly talking about this in his old YouTube
		

			series that the Quran said something beautiful. It's as if he says it says if when a teacher
		

			lovingly leans over the student to see his work, or to teach him or to whisper something to him or
to tell him something that he doesn't want anybody else to hear that then he hovered over. So this
closeness to the prophets Isilon is being described in these words, then Tukana callback Hosseini,
this is where things get really beautiful, then he was about the distance of the arch of the arrow
of the of the bow and arrow, this is going to be a little bit tough to explain. I'll allow me to
take my time with this. You guys know what a bow and arrow is? Right? Okay. So kavakos sane, could
mean one of two things. There's two ways you can look at it. They both have to do with the bow and
		

			arrow. One of those meanings is so the bow is like the letter D, right? Everybody knows that. Okay,
half of the arch, not the whole D half of the arch is a car. That's a car. The other half is the
other arm, the handle, the grip is in the middle. So when you grip the ball, one side is one club
and the other side is the other club, you get it. Okay? So that's one meaning of the word club.
		

			And when he says Kabak Hosseini, one bowl of two, one arch of tubos
		

			which is weird, you would say you would expect him to say two arches of one bow. Right, this is a
cob and this is a cob. So kabe cosin to tubos are two arches of one bow, but Allah didn't say that
he said Kaaba Hosseini, one bow of two artists and strange expression. So So one arch of two bows,
then the other meaning you have to understand of cob is okay, so imagine the this is my ugly bow and
arrow, but his bow and arrow, there's a string, and then there's the arch. You know, that distance
between the string and the arch, the middle of the grip, and the string. If you draw a straight line
in the middle of that D, that distance is called a cobble. So that's another call saying, Okay, so
		

			once again, you've got the bow and arrow, imagine the middle of the string, and the grip of the bow,
the distance between the middle of the string and the grip of the bow, that's the part you're going
to pull right? That distance is called a cop. I prefer I lean over this meaning some of the orlimar
lean on this meaning also, but it will go to the second meaning to Allah is now describing this as
how close he came to the Prophet sallallahu wasallam the distance between the string and the bow.
		

			That's how close Gibreel and Islam came to also allah sallallahu alayhi salam, but then he said, and
this was an expression used for people that are very close to each other. Man, this guy these two
guys are like other co saying, they're like so close to each other. He says he came so incredibly
close to the Prophet. But then he says no, either now or even closer than that.
		

			Or even closer than that. It's describing this really deep connection between Jabril Allahi Salaam
and the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi salam, and it's also describing this relationship, not
as a relationship of intimidation, because when you first read these ayat mighty taking over the
horizon, powerful, intelligent, you know, the highest horizon he took his full form, but now he is
this close to the prophets. I said them, but even that doesn't describe close enough. So he says,
Can I Can acaba call Senio Adena the closeness is also important because the word what he means to
whisper something to someone that nobody else can hear. So it was important to describe how close
		

			Gibreel is to a suit allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam so that when he speaks to him, it's just him
and Rasul Allah Alayhi Salatu, salam, ala Masato, salaam, you understand. So this is the the
encounter of meeting with Djibouti Donna his Salam but now
		

			We're gonna dig into Kaaba Hussein and you'll learn something really epic from it. One of the
weirder meaning was half the arch belonging to two bows. You know what that could mean? Half of arch
from one bowl and the half the arch from another bow, Sakaba co sin. So it's actually two bows, but
they're the two of them are turning into one. Now listen to this one Mujahid. Well Hassan and Acaba
hosts not been our three one naka de la hija in Colombia he even for in Havana collars capacity,
that's actually something already described, we'd have to translate that shout out to an Elan
mechanical arm soldier here of Hulu. This is actually talking about something the Arabs used to do
		

			in ancient times. So this expression, Baba Kasane has to do with Arabian culture. Let's see what it
has to do with their culture is at the height of woofer in the home country of Regina Kasane will
see Hoonah Da Hua will okra. So when two tribe leaders made a pact that we are going to fight as one
we are now united, a band of brothers etc. So, this is like a pact between two different tribes.
They will take a bow from this tribe and a bow from this tribe and they will put them on top of each
other like stack them this stacking tubos on top of each other then what would they what would they
do after that failure? Kunal Cabo Molossia Candela, aka, so the arches are now on top of each other.
		

			Okay, then, Mohammed Cobbin, we're heading as if it's one arch. So my n zero winner haha, man, we
are gonna be Hema salmon who are head and then they would hold, they will grab both the grips
together, then they will grab both the strings together, they will pull and they would shoot an
arrow and the arrow is being shot not from one bow and arrow. It's simultaneously being shot from
two bows and arrows. Okay, for your dedication written in another human readable aha, this used to
represent that now the happiness of one of these people is the happiness of the other was Susta who
sought to who now young can cater for who and what makes him upset makes him upset. We have now
		

			become one. So the idea of tubos becoming one was actually now what pleases you pleases me what
hurts you hurts me. We are an NS inseparable band. Together. We are quite literally tied together.
We are knotted to get rope imagery, right. And by the way, interestingly, cob is also rope because
there's a string in it. Right Subhanallah the imagery keeps building on top of each other. You guys,
high school students here, one of the most boring classes you take in high school is English
literature, where the professor is like, notice the imagery in this poem, write an essay about the
imagery and that's when you're like, Hi. Can I just give did somebody do a YouTube short video on
		

			this? Can I use AI now to write this imagery on this poem? That's what you guys are doing now.
		

			But you know what? I'm telling you English literature. It's going to help you a lot with Quran
study.
		

			Take literature class seriously. Take poetry study seriously. Even take Shakespeare seriously. One
of my favorite Arabic teachers in the world, advanced Arabic teachers in the world. I love him to
death is Sheikh Hamza Karmali. Some of you might know him. He lives in Istanbul now.
		

			And he's teachers. I've learned so much about Bulaga from him. And you know from his work, and often
he'll just quote a speech by Abraham Lincoln. Also talking about Shakespeare, and tie it together to
linguistics and Arabic And Allah. That's a boss. That is makes me feel like a village idiot. But
that's the boss, shell. When you guys are studying English lit in high school, or you're taking when
you have electives in college, or like I don't know what to do further. Take literature, take
anthropology, take sociology, take things that help you understand the human mind, art, artistic
language, because the Quran is incredibly artistic language. And it'll it'll prepare you for it.
		

			Some of my best students, Quran students, or linguistics students and literature students. Like they
just they get things at a level that they helped me appreciate things I didn't appreciate. So don't
undermine the value of those things. And whatever your aspirations are, by the way, if you aspire to
become a medical student, because it's funny when you because your parents are doctors, or you
		

			or you know, you aspire to go into tech or whatever else, do study literature, because whatever
these other fields, they're making you skilled laborers, but study of literature that's going to
make you a thoughtful human being. Right I want you to be thoughtful human being and study of Quran
makes you thoughtful, spiritually thoughtful, but it will be enhanced by your study of these other
things. If we didn't
		

			Understand Baba consignee like that we wouldn't understand the fusion being made between Allah's
Messenger Gibreel and Allah's Messenger Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam Wa alayhi salam,
right? This is inseparability that's being captured here in Fontana Arbuckle. SANY Oh, and then he
says, Follow her Isla de ma Aha.
		

			And then he revealed he inspired to his slave, whatever he inspired
		

			but he could have just said for Oh ha la he had an Quran. Allah Allah Abdi he had an Quran, he
revealed the Quran to him. He didn't. He said, He revealed to him, he inspired to him, he
communicated secretly to him, whatever it is that he communicated to him. Ma, there's an ambiguity
mentioned here. Why is there an ambiguity? It's quite beautiful. There's deliberate ambiguity and
whatever he mentioned, is actually for us to wonder, what is it that he revealed?
		

			What is it that he gave? I want to know more. And you know what, even if you've heard the Quran your
whole life, Ramadan is coming soon. You're gonna listen to the Quran and prayer. But have we really
understood have? Do we really know what we're hearing?
		

			Is it still ambiguous to us? You know, there's this deliberate, you don't know anything about the
Quran.
		

			You don't you just have these drops from this endless ocean. And that's inside ma Oh Ha. What it is
that he inspired to him. I can spend my life studying Quran Allah drops from it just drops. I was
studying a surah. We saw him and I was studying solid use of for a year, whole year we studied
reducer two years ago. And then last month, C and I decided to translate so that users and when we
sat the translated, were like, We didn't understand it the whole year.
		

			New things occurred to us that didn't occur to us the entire year, we were studying it. And I bet
you if we started studying, so use of again today.
		

			Man, we got to start all over again.
		

			That's this Quran is there's this mystery to its wisdom, it keeps unlocking and keeps unlocking and
keeps unfolding and keeps unfolding. It's incredible.
		

			And that's really the difference between Tafseer and what
		

			doesn't work. Because when you become a person of the field with the double, then you come back and
there's more to double, then you come back and there's even more to double. And then you come and
there's no end to the
		

			and then you keep and then you find joy in finding other people that are doing terrible. Because
you're like, can you share your turnover? I share mine.
		

			And then I share my terrible with someone and they say you're terrible made me have another
terrible.
		

			And that's what my group does all the time. We're like, they have a thought that I have. Like, oh my
God that made me think of this and I'm like, Whoa, we're both we're all just like Quran dude. Okay,
I need a break. I gotta go eat a slice of pizza or something because I need to process this. I
literally have to hang up on the group sometimes. Because it's just me Ah ha. Then there's another
ambiguity here. That's amazing. He inspired
		

			it could be Jibreel inspired, because Allah inspired Jibreel and Jibreel inspired the prophets,
Allah communicated to Jibreel they will communicate it to the prophet, but he says he inspired to
his slave. The his slave clearly means the slave of who? Allah Allah Abdullahi. So Gibreel is being
conflated here as any connection is being made, where you can read this as Allah inspired it to his
slave, or Jibreel, inspired to Allah slave.
		

			multiple things can happen at the same time, because there's now an inseparability between Allah
Gibreel and the Messenger of Allah Islam or rope is being drawn between them. And the ambiguity of
the pronouns is capturing that. Then there's the word mal one one more aspect of the word man that I
want to share with you. Or highlight the HEMA or MA is used for Abraham in Arabic when something is
not explicitly clear. When something there's more to be discovered, part of the Ashara here and the
idea is the Quran will keep on giving more and more and more and it will always there will never be
a time where we can say we've exhausted the Quran. Now we know everything the Quran has to offer,
		

			because it will always be Malka. There will always be more to learn from it. There will never be
another the Oh ha because the alternative to MMA is what? I love the PA Oh ha Isla de la de Aha, but
it's actually my own. So this is actually an inspiration for all of us to continue
		

			To explore the word of Allah and to bring ourselves to bring light to ourselves and to coming
generations to continue this tradition of the dabbler in the ummah.
		

			Now, this is what's gonna I'm gonna keep track of time because 11 and 12 is where it's at.
		

			Okay, I have a little bit of time
		

			to understand this idea. First, I'm going to take a sidestep and tell you something about the Word
lying in Arabic. Kesava Khabib is a liar. Easy translation, right? But now you know, nothing is
easy. In Arabic. There's a primary meaning and there's what secondary means I'm going to teach you
some secondary meanings of lying in Arabic. Because in Arabic, okay. Because about Hooroo they say
the heat did Kevin.
		

			When the heat breaks and the temperature gets nicer.
		

			So when it breaks, the temperature breaks, that's called Kevin. cannibal. I know Honda has Suha when
the eye sees a mirage, and it thinks it's something the eye did, Kevin it was diluted, or it can't
see straight anymore. It's not seeing clear vision anymore. Cannabis say you either LM aged. When
the animal is wobbling, and the person is wobbling, and they're not walking firmly. Then their walk
has gathered in it.
		

			Then cannibal washy you Jarrah Shelton from our cafe Leon, Leon Brahma whare, who, when the animal
walks, but stops and sees if anybody's coming, then walks a little bit than hesitates, that's called
the animal is doing COVID
		

			weird. What does this have to do with anything? Well, cancer will call Massara and the P group of
people they couldn't travel anymore, because let me actually do it. He, they didn't have the money
for it. They were too tired for it from Canada. And they say about a person. This guy did not do
tech leave. They say that when this person didn't give up, and he didn't become a coward, and he
fulfilled his job. So in other words, Canada also means to be a coward and to be a quitter. So
Canada has to do with these things, and I'll give you the English notes soon. And so the memory
means the overall theme is knucklehead that was shipped the Algeria for che when something is no
		

			longer as intense as it used to be. When something weakens, breaks, softens. That's actually called
together. So the meanings are declined in intensity or sharpness. The meanings of cursive have to do
with inability, losing toughness, or stamina is not one word. I was about to read that as one word
or stamina,
		

			weakness, cowardice, misconception and underestimation. Also convenience.
		

			You know what that has to do with lying? This is the Arab saying ancient or even before Islam, the
Arab understood something about the truth. The truth is the opposite of all of these things. The
truth is intense. The truth requires ability, the truth and it requires toughness and stamina. The
truth requires bravery. The truth requires that you under you conceptualize properly, the truth is
inconvenient.
		

			And when you will run after convenience when you're running after when you're given to your
cowardice. When you do all of these things, that's when lying becomes easy.
		

			People that are looking for the easy way become liars. That's correct.
		

			And by the way, so when he says my kettlebell Fuad O'Meara now you know, when you when you hear the
word lying in Arabic, the associations they make are so powerful, they're actually almost as if they
did a psychological profile online. Right? Where does mine come from? Comes from convenience, ease
cowardice. I'm too brave to tell you the truth. Like for the guys, here, your wife asks you what
you're thinking.
		

			Not one of you will tell her the truth.
		

			This is work really stressful right now.
		

			And in your head, you're giving a whole sidebar, if you knew what I was thinking.
		

			I don't know when judgment is coming, but mine would start today.
		

			Just tell me what you're thinking No, too cowardly, too scary. Also, if I say the truth, life is
going to become very inconvenient.
		

			I was not gonna become here anymore. So it's better to just
		

			not say anything. This is this is kind of, you know, so the idea of marketable. This is a side note
then whenever you read the word lying in the Quran, just I want you to have some thoughts about
what's what's behind it, right. Isn't this really beneficial like this to know the richness of the
word, right? It just changes everything.
		

			Hey, guys, you just watched a small clip of me explaining the Quran in depth as part of the deeper
look series. Studying the Quran in depth can seem like a really intimidating thing.
		

			And that's only meant for scholars our job at Vienna is to make deeper study of the Quran accessible
and easy for all of you so take us up on that challenge join us for this study the deeper look of
the Quran for this surah and many other sources on Vienna tv.com under the deeper look section
