But Allah made this decision that He is
going to let human beings figure stuff out
and leave them to their devices and if
they want to do really bad things, He
will let them.
He will allow it to happen because they're
doing it.
He's given us this really heavy burden and
the power of the choice to disobey Him.
He's given us that, right?
Now, He sent those books and with each
of those books, the people who were carrying
those books had the power and the responsibility
of maintaining and preserving those books and teaching
them to the next generations.
But enough of them decided to corrupt those
books and Allah allowed that to happen.
My question, you mentioned like the Bible a
lot in your talks, right?
Yeah.
Why would Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala let
the Bible be corrupt if He wanted people
to follow Him?
He didn't let the Bible be corrupt.
This goes back to a more fundamental question,
like Allah put human beings on the earth
and He made them khalifa.
Khalifa means like let's say you're in school,
I'm guessing, right?
So what grade are you in?
9th grade.
Okay, so let's say your teacher, right, is
in the class.
There's 20 of you guys in the classroom
and the teacher gets called to the office.
So he leaves the classroom.
What happens in the teacher's absence in the
classroom?
Absolute chaos, pandemonium, right?
Might even be a fight breaking out.
Somebody might be dancing on top of a
desk.
Somebody's trying to hang from a ceiling fan,
all kinds of stuff, right?
Things turn into, you know, what's that thing,
the kid's book when they're left on the
island?
Lord of the Flies.
It turns into Lord of the Flies in
no time, right?
So the idea, this was the angel's problem.
Like if you leave human beings to their
devices, they're just going to kill each other.
And you'll see that in a 9th grade
classroom if the teacher leaves for a few.
And Allah says, I know something you don't
know, right?
But Allah made this decision that He's going
to let human beings figure stuff out and
leave them to their devices.
And if they want to do really bad
things, He will let them.
He will allow it to happen because they're
doing it.
He's given us this really heavy burden and
the power of the choice to disobey Him.
He's given us that, right?
Now, He sent those books and with each
of those books, the people who were carrying
those books had the power and the responsibility
of maintaining and preserving those books and teaching
them to the next generations.
But enough of them decided to corrupt those
books and Allah allowed that to happen.
That's not because Allah didn't want them to
be guided, but Allah wanted them to take
responsibility for themselves, right?
And they just didn't want to do it.
So now what Allah does for the final
revelation is that He takes that out of
everybody's hands.
And the reason He did that, there's also
a reason why didn't Allah let the Qur
'an be changed.
And the reason for that is directly connected
to the fact that our Prophet is the
last one, right?
So if human beings corrupt this book also,
there's nobody that's going to be sent to
fix what's been messed up.
Like Jesus came to fix what was messed
up in the Torah, right?
And then the Qur'an came and fixed
what was corrupted in the Gospel given to
Jesus and the Torah, right?
And what was lost in previous scripture.
So, but after Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, nobody else
is going to come.
So the chain of prophets was there to
undo the damage that was done, but since
it's the final prophet, now the book is,
you no longer have the ability to damage
it.
Even if you want to, you can't do
it.
Even if you want to replace one ayah,
you won't be able to do it.
Try it and see if it works for
you.
There's, you know, the people who don't like
Islam or people who don't like religion, world
powers have billions if not trillions of dollars
in circulation, right?
They can put that money into war, they
can put that money into media, they can
put that money into education, anything.
If they can just get all of their
resource together to remove some surahs from the
Qur'an or to add some surahs and
sell us that, they could try, they could
try, it can't happen.
Allah took that ability and they can bomb
entire countries.
They can, you know, discontinue entire genealogies, they
can do that.
They can mass murder, they have the power
to do that.
They can produce billions and billions in, you
know, in critical material, in attacks against Islam,
all of it.
But one thing they can't do is replace
the Qur'an, can't do it.
It's something Allah took out of their hands,
right?
So, that's in a nutshell the answer to
your question.
Great question, yeah.
