Nouman Ali Khan – Why Was The Quran Revealed Last Q&A

			I feel here are stronger evidences. So the thing is we're not presenting the history of the fetus
not presenting an opinion about an idea based on nothing. Every person says, Here's what I think and
here's why. Then somebody else comes along and says, Your reason is not good enough. And here's why.
And here's why I don't think a I think be
		

			well, you get some of you, sorry.
		

			I have a I have two questions. One about the court and week and one general question about a friend.
		

			Which one do you want to get first?
		

			I'll take the fries.
		

			So I'm going to start with the first question. The second question. And my question is, I have a
friend who's who I've been friends with 10 years now and she's an atheism and and I make dua for
her. And now Allah subhanaw taala accepted mind to Al Hamdulillah. And she's asking about Islam and
has many questions about it. And the knowledge that I gained right now is enough to give her an
understandable questions but answers but now she has a question. Why did Allah subhanaw taala?
		

			Mentioned the Quran now instead of before, the Torah and the friend Julian? Why did he give it now?
Yes, of course. Why? Why was not the Quran the first
		

			Revelation, Revelation, Allah, Allah doesn't reveal anything before its time. So humanity wasn't
ready. It hadn't matured yet. And it had to go through a certain process before the Quran would be
revealed. Still, Allah first gave me an opportunity to like, there's three choices. The first choice
was Adam was chosen. Think of it that way Adam was chosen. Then the second major choice was not just
that a human being was chosen. But an entire nation was chosen to serve as a role model. And that
was beneath slightly, right. So they could show us a nation, what the religion looks like. Then
Allah decided no one nation, so they were given their opportunity. And then in Allah's Wisdom, the
		

			final choice was going to be not one nation, but every human being on earth has an opportunity to
join this nation. And that was the final like, evolution of the growth of humanity and the maturity
the spiritual growth, just like we talked about, like societal evolution, how technology evolved
over the years, and civilizations evolved over the years. The Quran has its perspective on how
spirituality and religious teaching evolved over the years, and humanity was now spiritually ready
for the final rendition. The final American so and that's, that's the height of it is in the coming
of the Prophet selection and becoming of the Quran. And so this is now relevant forever. So those
		

			those were at a certain stage and now this is forever. And also about the this situation we learned
today about the law of ladder and the law of wisdom. Can I mention this too? Or is it not? Yeah.
		

			Okay. Okay. And my second question about
		

			is why Allah subhanaw taala. You mentioned that Allah subhanho wa Taala did not make more
hammertoes. Selim, for us to interpret the tafsir. Yeah. So why when we how do we know now? Watch
tafsir is, right, because there is no right because it's every everywhere to have serious like,
point of view of the good question, though. So the Quran is very,
		

			there are certain fundamental, that are kind of the rules of interpretation, right? Like
interpreting anything, you have to first know something about the context, right? And there are two
kinds of contexts. There's the context in which the speech took place, historical context, and
there's textual context, what is the context in what was the thing that was said before? What was
the thing that was said after right? And then there are there's the next layer and that is okay, the
one who gave this to us as the prophets. I said, what do we see in his practice? That complements
what's being said here?
		

			That I've seen of the Quran is not some open ended thing, like for example, when Allah says, Well,
as soon as he swears by time, nobody's going to this means flowers. Or this means chocolate cake.
No, it means time. So it's not like there's a crazy, endless amount of interpretations.
		

			But when somebody does offer any interpretation of the Quran, they have to be able to Fern
		

			Use their evidences based on what did you arrive at this conclusion? Right? And then somebody can
disagree or agree with their line of reasoning or their evidences and say, I feel here are stronger
evidences. So the thing is we're not presenting the history of deceit is not presenting an opinion
about an idea based on nothing. Every person in it says, Here's what I think and here's why. Then
somebody else comes along and says, Your reason is not good enough. And here's why. And here's why I
don't think a I think V which is a really cool investigative process, isn't it? So, we became, you
know, in any subject science, medicine, any any science, people have a certain conclusion, then
		

			people reinvestigate, and then they have a better conclusion. And then reinvestigate, and the
knowledge goes further, isn't it? It's kind of like that with some aspects of see, we keep
investigating more and more and more. And the other thing I want you to know about the study of the
Quran is the Quran is different kinds of subjects. So the Quran will talk about, for example,
Ancient Egypt, for example, or the Quran will talk about Medina and the ancient society of Medina,
for example.
		

			Somebody studying Islam seven centuries ago in Spain, reads that have seen of the Quran and they
learned something about Medina and Guatemala soon said, etc, etc. Now, we're living in 2023, we have
access to archaeological evidence, we have access to historical sites and digs. Right, we have
interesting ways to find historical information now that weren't available even 100 years ago, isn't
that true? So we might learn more things about some of the places Allah mentions in the Quran,
because we have more access. And that might help us see things in the Quran in a new light. That
doesn't mean we're going to come up with a new Islam, but we'll have a deeper appreciation when we
		

			have a new appreciation for what Allah is say. Right? So you know, it's really fascinating stuff
that's happening in Islamic Studies right now, like what I showed you of how the word mocha does or
kudu, HaKadosh was used in the Hebrew Bible and where it's been used. Like, there's a lot of
comparative study now happening with the Quran and how it's interacting with the Bible. Some of this
was known before, but now so much information is digitized and accessible, that now research in
these fields has become really far more accessible, isn't it? So that's actually a really exciting
thing that's happening in the study of our religion, is we're actually getting new insight, a new
		

			new appreciation, but the basic deceit of the Quran what does this I mean, what does he mean about
fasting? What does he mean about prayer, the basic meaning nobody's coming and saying, Hey, I have a
new way to pray.
		

			Because the basis is all the same. It's the additional subtleties and the more directions we can
explore things in. That's what's being explored now.
