Surah Smilla Rahmanir Rahim hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala
16. A surah is something enclosed or surrounded by a fence or wall.
So when that's a sewer is a fence the word sewer means a fence. So a
surah is something that is fenced and how do we know? Okay? How the
Soudan beginnings and endings were taught to the people, they were
taught to the Sahaba would want to lay out lay him because the
province I sent him never ever prayed with part of a surah he
always made salah.
He he never
prayed with part of a sewer he always prayed with, from the
beginning of the sewer all the way to the end of the sewer. And he
never recited two verses in one breath.
He would stop at every verse mark. And if a surah was to have a verse
was too long,
then he stopped to pause, took a breath, then rewind it back a
couple of words and continued again. You see, so in this way, if
this is happening three times, six times a day, six times a day,
federal choice, Maghrib choice and Aisha twice, six times a day
the prophet is reciting to me give you a hug. And he said you
disagree. Who the guy over there, he told me to give you a Faruq and
he disagrees he just out of principle as a principal, okay.
The Federal Chu rockers McGraw, two rockers so two rockers out
loud in front of everyone. So the sort of beginnings and end is
constantly repeated. And if new revelation came, he would pray
with this surah again, right. He prayed with the surah again, so
that you know the Sahaba knew the new verses that were coming in.
Right? The new verses. So constantly, the Quran was being
taught through prayer in public six times a day,
six times a day. Okay, public recitation of the surah. This is
how the Sahaba knew. And there is no drummer and there is no
difference on the beginning and any surah. Okay.
All right. So this is an excellent way. This is not the only way the
Prophet did it. What is the second way the Prophet educated the
Sahaba and the beginning and end of the sutras and when the verses
began and ended? Okay. The second way
is through nighttime prayers that he prayed with select Sahaba that
were very important. Why? Because we know that it's Makrooh to
elongate the prayer beyond the capacity of the elderly and the
handicapped.
It's beyond capacity, right? It's my crew to do that.
So how is he going to educate the sahaba? Uncertain Bucha so let's
add Emraan so let's ENISA so resubmitted. So there's a lot of
right. So it's a Tober. The first, which we call the mean, they are
the wall, the wall or the long Soros.
He did this through voluntary night prayers that the community
doesn't have to attend. Right. He used to sit with him and miss out.
I will hold Ira right when he was there, a worker and Amara Northman
and Holly, and the big Sahaba and sad interviewer cos sad even more
if the big Sahaba who were Zaven Sabbath dedicated. Right? Okay,
who were the whole us, like the elites of the Sahaba, Kibera
Sahaba. And he would recite with them, right? Long sutras in the
Nova,
right long sutras in the knoweth. Okay, that's how the Sahaba were
educated on Bacara Allah, what is the third way the Prophet taught
the Sahaba by literally having classes?
The Prophet was so sudden would literally have classes, and then
he would give the green light for certain people to have their own
classes. Right? So he would have a circle of knowledge. And he would
educate the Sahaba on a certain sort of, this is the surah This is
the beginning of it begins with this and he would recite it to
them and explain it to them, right. So in these three ways, we
know
The beginning and end of the surah and the beginning and end of the
verses. And it was public knowledge. And the best way to
preserve something is what? Throw it out in the public. Right? So in
Muslim, you don't know how many people there who knows who's
there?
Right? Dozens of people are there on a random day.
Now, what about the pseudo names? Okay? The pseudo names, some of
them come from the Prophet and some don't. We know for sure Al
Baqarah comes from the Prophet. So that's a buckler. Right? We know
it comes from the other sutras, okay. We know that he didn't name
them at all. He referred to them by the beginning words of the
verse.
Like when he said Surah, teethers zealots.
He referred to the sutra, not by a name, but by the beginning
words. So it may be that some Sahaba or some self named some
students write pseudo names. Okay, that's how the pseudo name comes.
Okay, the final surah and Aya revealed the final complete surah
was surah. It's a nurse,
either under sort of law who will fetch
the not certain answer is called the divine aid.
But it's the N word Nasir is also mean victory, because when you get
divine aid, you're guaranteed victory. Right? No one gets divine
aid except is victorious. So the word of divine aid and victorious
are synonymous to one another.
The final revelation was actually a verse from Surah Surah. Number
five, al Qaeda and Amanda means a table spread of food.
Which is referring to what?
The Last Supper, right, the Last Supper, when the disciples of
Jesus asked for a final meal.
As for final confirmation, because they're about to be tested with a
big test. They're about to see their profit going across. But
they're told that it's not going to be him. He'll be replaced. This
is a big test. So what did he say? They said, Oh Allah strengthen our
iman with a food from paradise. Right? A meal from paradise.
And Allah says, I will grant it to you. However, if after I grant
this to you, you lose faith, I will punish you with the
punishment no one else has ever faced. Okay. And so that is the
Last Supper in which we believe happens, right? But of course we
know that they were being prepared for the test of the image of Jesus
being on the cross, but not actually just be on the cross. So
admitted this verse says Elio mu le OMA a committed to lockup,
Deena calm. What's meant to Alquimia Amity? What are the two
la commune Islam Medina today I've completed my favorite towards you
and chose a and completed your religion and gone and completed my
favorite towards you and chosen Islam as your religion. Alright,
so
this is another example of the finality and the requirements of
Islam for salvation. Which someone should not mistake as that anyone
who has not heard of Islam, we know that they have a special case
yes
he was taken with body and soul like it's not a marriage, like the
marriage. But the
one of his enemies his chief enemy, was given the prophesy
seven gave him the face of Asa
prophesy centum said he's given the face of Asa, Ben Medina Quran
says, We gave him the face of acela Marine, but not the fingers.
So that the Sahaba of ACE and his mother who was alive can see that
is not easily muddy. And because that's not his finger, not his
hand, but in the eyes of the people and the governor. They
thought That's right. So they convinced they were convinced that
they crucified him, okay. Now, if someone says, Well, why would I do
this? Right? Well, you have to realize that you cannot ask the
subject Why would God do the whole thing with a seven month born
without a father born? Mary, getting fruits, right, from the
unseen all of these things? Okay. The whole evasive and Madame is a
miracle for a test, but also a reminder of the power of Allah
azza wa jal over cause and effect because we exist in a realm of
cause and effect. We believe in limit and the city tells us what
is our
ruling regarding cause and effect,
like cause and effect, if you want money, get it, you have to go get
a job not going to come from the heavens. Right? If you want
something to happen, you got to do it that's causing effect. So the
ruling and cause and effect in Islam is number one, you must act
on it. Number two, you must not believe in its limitations. Right?
So many people get it messed up, they think, Oh, I rely on Allah. I
don't need to do anything. Is Allah is confer Kuhn, no cause and
effect in Sharia means you need to act upon. But you must not believe
in its limitations. Right? I remember one time shift and ASMs
biography said his shift told him,
okay, and shamanism is recounting his life. And he said, I believe
that I was blessed with Sophia, because I took the word of my
shake, and I applied it. And I didn't think twice. Okay. He said
an example of this was that my shift said, I want you to go and
spend 40 days of Hello, in the mosque of Abdulkadir Oh Jelani in
Iraq, and they were in Damascus. Okay. And I want you to go now.
He said, I got up immediately I walked out the door, I asked the
first person which way is north and I started walking north.
The chicks had gone out means go now. Right?
And then,
shortly thereafter, a man passed by and said you need a ride. I
said, sure. I'll take it. I sat in the back of a pickup truck and
drove until we he left the path I got off, I walked another car
came, picked me up and went. So he's taken the cause and effect,
but he doesn't believe in the limitation of cause and effect,
right? You want to change, you know, change, like this, like the
journey of 1000 miles. Just take the first step and see what
happens. Right? take that first step. If you're someone who says,
well, I need the whole roadmap first. These are the types these
we call a bureaucratic Web. They get caught in a bureaucratic
mindset, that okay, if we want to attain this goal, we need the
whole blueprint. And we to make sure all the risks are gone. No,
this is not how it works. No winner has ever done this before.
You want to achieve that goal, just start going, someone will
come and help you. Right? Just start doing it. Allah azza wa jal
never blesses someone. Okay? Because he wants to do something,
he blesses him when he starts to do it. And all matter and the
prophets, I send them to the Prophet so I sent him was
described as someone when he plans when he plans. He looks like he
appears as a man who doesn't believe in God. But when he acts,
he acts like a man who doesn't plan. This is how we bring both
together. So use your brain to the best of your capability and then
act and then leave it to Allah azza wa jal.
Find certain SUTA names, the main thing of the sort of names you
will find that, for example, at Bacara. But the Bacara is the main
theme of the story. This is actually going to firstly the
prophet named right. Now, why is the Bacara the symbol number one
is striking, right? It's hard to forget. It's big, like the surah
is big. But what does it Bacara symbolizes, it symbolizes an ethic
that we should not do something with negative knowledge, right?
Negative ethics. So what did the Jews the Prophet Musa received the
court case? That so and so killed so and so? Okay, or so and so was
killed. So Prophet Musa alayhis, salam, he asked Allah, what should
I do? There's no witnesses. Allah azza wa jal said, Have the people
the tribe of the victim, slaughter a cow, okay? And then sprinkle the
blood of the cow on that meant that men will wake up and he will
say who killed him? miracle from Allah. Right.
So
Allah Musa alayhis salam gathered the tribe, they said, slaughter a
cow. And and bring it to me. Okay. So what did they say? What size
cow? What age cow, right? Then they went, they said what color
cow and they expanded it. This is like bureaucracy type of people,
right? They expanded it two weeks until all of Bani Israel in the
whole country, the whole tribe, Amin, right, knew that there was a
cow in demand, right? Okay. So, Allah azza wa jal told us this
story, right? To show us what not to do, do not do this. And Allah
subhana wa Tada says, Do not keep asking questions to your prophet.
prophesy centum said, there is no man worse than a man who asks a
question about a matter. And the answer is that it's haram and then
it becomes haram on the whole Ummah because of him. He's the
worst of them. Right? So you come to the Prophet Oh is Prophet is
haram to eat this food and he says yes, now it's time for all of us.
He didn't say anything. If you didn't ask, right? It could be
Hello.
Okay, so prophesy said this is the worst person of the OMA. Right?
Because you've done a disservice. So the Prophet
at the end of Sorensen Bacara is the summary of the theme. What is
the statement of the Sahaba of Allah azza wa jal praising the
Sahaba at the end of sorts of Bukhara Wirkkala semana were Aton.
They said, we hear and we obey. And that is the ethic how we
interact with Revelation, not with people with Revelation, right?
With Revelation we hear and we obey. You may ask questions for
knowledge later, like Prophet Ibrahim, I listen, he asked
questions for knowledge. He asked. So Allah, how do you raise the
dead? Allah said, do you not believe? He said, Of course I
believe, but it will give me more belief if I see it. Right. So the
ethic is questions, the motive of the question must be determined
first. So this is usually what happens on my Facebook page with
certain people. I always ask them, you're asking a question, what is
the motive? Are you really learning? Or are you being a thorn
in my side? Just to be one of those right?
What is the motive? Right of the question, okay. Are you just
trying to be a prick? Or are you actually you're trying to learn
because if you're trying to learn, I'll take day and night with you,
right? But if you're just trying to be annoying, or cast doubt,
there's no need to answer this question. Right?
You need another remedy. You need another medicine. Okay. Prophet
Muhammad Salam, he asked Allah questions such as, Oh Allah, or
prophet Musa. Why do you put people in *? Very important
question. Everyone crosses their mind. Oh, Allah, if you're the
greatest of the great and they're no good, why not just let the good
people go to heaven and let the bad people disappear. Right? Allah
says, I'll answer your question later. So later on, he says, most
Musa, I want you to grow for me wheat. So he grew the wheat. Okay.
And then he said, moose, I want you to bring it for me in the
basket. So he brought it for him in a basket. So he said most of
what is that over there? He said, those were the bad ones, though.
They didn't turn out. They didn't turn out good. He said, and what
do you all use them for? He says we use them to fuel the fire to
keep warm, right? So he said, likewise, that's what people go to
*. Right?
Okay.
So he taught him. So the quest is not about not questioning. Okay.
This is the also another thing, people who have a little bit of
doubt in their hearts, they need to ask questions. They end up
being more knowledgeable than pious people, a pious person,
Allah says, so that's it. Well, that's excellent. But you cannot
transfer that to someone else. Right? You cannot transfer that
someone else. You can't say to your kids, of course, do it. And
that's it. You will actually I believe that you should begin with
that. But you should know the answer in the back of your mind.
Because you should know that when he becomes a teenager, or she hits
a teen years, you should know every question that they're going
to ask, right? There's, and if you want to know, just go onto my
Facebook page, you will know everything youth ask everything
young people are asking, it's been asked on my page, right? So what I
do with the youth class DNA essentials, I stick in the little
vaccines based on the questions that these doubters are asking. So
we should know.
In case people ask, but we have to teach the youth the ethic of when
God speaks kids, children, especially when God speaks and the
discussion when a prophet speaks and have discussion. Now, when
they hit the teen years, and they start naturally asking or they're
exposed to doubters, or shaytaan comes to their head. You should
know all those answers. And in fact, you should have brought up
the question before they bring up the question, right? Like, I want
to come and take the youth and bring ups and sit with them on a
Saturday and go over questions like from Quran all the way down
to signs and anytime. question after question after question. I
will bury them in questions until they said I will never ask a
question about Islam again. Colors I accept. That's it. We bury them
in everything that their counterparts are saying, right?
The questions are getting weirder, but easier, right? Weirder but
easier to answer. Okay, recently, the question was, show me the
proof.
Show me the proof that gender is determined by genitalia
in the Quran, right? Show me the proof for that, I guarantee you,
you will not find it in any of the books of the past. No one asked
that question before, right? But we got to find them, but it's
gonna be easier, right? So that's how it is. That's that's our
balance between asking and learning, but having pie the type
of humble piety, right? Have we listened to obey? And that's the
answer to the question of wise, for example, suited a bucket a
name that because that bucket or that cow symbolizes our ethic.
When God talks and the Prophet talks, no questions asked, go do
it. If you want to learn learn later, do it first prove your
loyalty first, then ask questions later. And your question will be
answered. Right, but prove your loyalty first by acting on it.
Other times you notice that?
I believe that when it's the setup, or the Sahaba, who picked
the suitor names, I think they just took the first noun in the
sentence or verb like suited themselves at ACARA. At MacArthur
it's all the first word if you notice, right, the first word of
the sentence. Okay. And I think the list of sutras that the
Prophet himself named is like Bacara le Emraan Nyssa Eclass
Okay.
Which one?
I don't know if he named those directly if he is mentioned in a
hadith
Oh, yeah, the the prophet named collabora with Philip and as he
named them Anwar, with the team, right, the two suitors in which
you seek refuge. And Chow was is seeking refuge. So that's the
wisdom behind the pseudonyms? Yes.
That's correct.
I don't believe that the suitor names were revealed in the Lauren
buffaloes alone was London's festival was enough.
Yep.
The is about the cow come in
the middle of the first shows it's a bit more. It's a bit more. I
think it's 10. Yes, towards the end of the first job, his look it
up. I think it's up to 1210 or 12.
It's statistically speaking. Now look it up, we're going to take 10
to 12. As statistically speaking, the sorts of Bacara is a set of
stories, all stories. And statistically speaking, it's the
most number of verses per story. So there is actually a look it up
again, I think it's like 10 verses
is it might not be longer, but it's more versus
because I remember looking that up and realizing that there's
actually a
objective reason for being called at Bacara, which is of all the
stories, the story has received the most verses from the
beginning. Right, look from the beginning of the narrative of the
buckler, you'll find tenuto versus
cow.
And Bukhara is one of the words in Arabic that has no root, right? So
words in Arabic are either must, must,
must, must have got or not. So it's either a root word,
root meaning general meaning and derivative words from that
meaning, like Shuddha, the word shujaa, the root Szene G
has the meaning of branching out. So if two people dispute
the route is to shuttle they, they split up, and also a tree. Right.
It's called the shutdown because it branches out. Right. So all
that is but Bakara the word Bukhara does not have an actual
root. It's one of those words is just that's what it is.
Now we go to the muck in the mud.
But what about what about in the number of verses? Eight
corners? Which page?
Yeah, 67 two.
Yeah, so it's, it's almost exactly a page. Almost exactly a bit
right?
Of the other one, but how many as count? Eight. Okay.
So
it's amongst the most gets concentrated.
The Quran was revealed in Mecca and Medina 11 out of 30 in Mecca
19, out of 30. In Medina
Mechi verses and sutras are predominantly about so hate faith
and afterlife.
So heed faith and afterlife. When you want to bring someone into the
religion, you don't you tell them about the root matters, belief in
Allah, and the punishment of the afterlife and the reward of the
afterlife. Fear is the fastest route to action. But it's not long
term. It's fear is like a sprinter. He's the fastest to
quickly get somewhere, but fear cannot last a long time. Right?
Fear cannot last a long time. So
whenever Allah azza wa jal wants people to pay attention to
something quickly.
Allah azza wa jal uses fear. Okay, Abu Lahab actually ended up doing
more of a service for Islam than harm. Because the nature of fear
is that it's not healthy for you. It's not physically healthy to
have fear. So the human being is built to eliminate fear as soon as
possible. If you're fearful, too much, you have a nervous
breakdown. Right? So immediate after a short period of time, the
human being will seek to either eliminate or CO opt the thing he
fears
is the amazing thing about the human being.
If something comes that you fear, you will either seek to eliminate
it, if you cannot eliminate it in time, you have to co opt it.
Right, you have to accept it. Right? You have to make it part of
life.
Now, when Islam came to the Arabs, they had so much fear
of Islam changing their ways, as all people do when something new
comes. But after they could not eliminate it, they had to co opt
they had to accept it. And I believe this is maybe happening a
little bit in the West too. Right? Allah is getting their attention.
One thing that Islam has, that every other religion doesn't have.
Its people's attention, right? It might not be good press. But it's
going to have to change because people don't like fear. Right?
They will have to co opt and come to accept the existence of Muslims
and their beliefs in ways right. Okay, because what else can you do
about they might not like it, but they can no longer fear it too
much. They have to accept it. And you're starting to see in the
business world, acceptance of Islam and Muslims are in business
sense because if they profit from the Muslims a big market, right?
Anyway, that's a side thing. This Medina Medini verses are all about
morals, laws and society.
Morals, laws and society. When someone says to you, Christianity
is all about loving the spirit and true religion. But Islam has all
these laws. And it's a state, right? It's political. It
interferes in my life.
What do we tell them? We say, when you have something precious, like
faith, it must be protected. Right? You must protect it. How do
you protect it with rules? That's all it is. You protecting it with
rules. That's all it is. Now Mickey and Melanie have a real
meaning.
The real meaning of Mickey and Melanie is before Hijra and after
hijra, because after the hedge or the Prophet went back to MCC and
he received verses and he was traveling and he received verses.
So not all of what is called Medini actually was revealed in
Medina. It could have been revealed while he was traveling or
while he was in Mecca,
and mecca for the ombre and then the hatch
question
is actually
like earlier on.
So why why do people say that? It's okay, good question.
The question was, in summary is like this. Why is it there a
debate that sometimes the surah is revealed some people say in Mecca,
some say it's in Medina. There could be another a lot of reasons,
but one of the main reasons is sometimes a surah was revealed
more than once.
Like Senator fatsia is said is revealed two or three times to
show the importance of it.
So it could have been revealed
twice
better better than twice
and Allah knows best about that specific huh? Yes. Yeah
Now we're on page 18 The first public reciter can we have someone
with a strong voice come and sit next to me to read? Ally comes in
Yeah, because he got
the surgery.
Yeah, I don't know what happened to the hitch
they used to have a cage around them. What happened to that thing
you don't need to you don't need to go get it
the first public recital, so the first one to recite the Quran
aloud in Mecca after the rasool Allah Sato Salam was Abdullah bin
Masood, by the law and
the dialects are beloved in the suit. Of course, you know, his
mother was from East Africa. Very poor woman. His father was a very
poor Arab man. He entered Islam very early on.
Because the Prophet chose him.
The Prophet have a bucket of were walking
and episode was hurting some sheep along the side of the highway. So
the prophets I sent him said, Can we have some milk from this from
the sheep? Okay.
And they've almost always said, these are not my sheep, so I
cannot give you their milk until I take permission. So the Prophet
was so impressed with this, that he guided him to Islam by saying
give me a sheep that brings no milk. So he brought him a sheep
that brings no milk. And the province I sent him touched the
utter of that sheep
that and said some words and then filled the cup with milk from
that. And when MMS oats saw this, it didn't say anything. Again
watched how messy it was. He didn't say anything. He didn't
like fall to his feet to his knees, oh miracle. No, he was
reserved. The next day.
He went to Abu Bakr Siddiq
because he was famous Abu Bakr everyone knew him.
He said, Can you explain what that was? What happened there?
Then Abu Bakr said,
this is a prophet, I will take it to him. So he took him to the
province I sent them and the episode met the Prophet then he
took shahada. So, in this small instance, it had been Miss owed
reflected to excellent qualities, three excellent qualities number
one, honesty,
like the owner of the ship is not there. But he showed honesty,
number two,
discipline, right, he had discipline to wait. And number
three,
seeking knowledge, like I want to know the proper avenue to
understand what this phenomenon was. Right? All of these things
endear him to the Prophet size seven so much that even miss owed
became he had another position with the Prophet. And if he must
hold had not a handicap, something similar to a handicap.
And that was his size.
He was extremely skinny and small, such to such a degree that when
the wind blew, someone had to hold him or he had to hold the tree,
or else he would blow in the wind. For these reasons, he was poor.
He's not fully Arab. That means he doesn't have like aunts and
uncles. His mom is from another country.
He is tiny.
But the Prophet SAW virtue, the prophet complemented these
hardships with a reward. And the reward the privilege of mms owed
is he never needs permission to enter the house of the Prophet. So
I said it was him. And it was Sal manifest. He never needed
permission to enter the house of the Prophet sighs. Okay. Unlike
Bilal, Bilal was from Ethiopia, but don't think that Blair was
just a slave. Bilal was the son of a princess. Alright. The last
mother was a princess of her tribe. So he comes from
aristocracy. Bilal is not some nobody. He was made a slave. As
one of the prophets I send him said, someone asked him what kind
of was the best slave to free if I want to free a slave who's the
best slave to free? He said someone who come from aristocracy,
someone who came from a higher rank than was made a slave. It was
It happened right Princess taken as a slave. So her son's a slave,
but she's a princess. So that's what happened to be that so
So people should change their notion of Buddha and realize his
art his dad was the king of the tribe in Ethiopia. Okay.
Yep
I think that's,
that might be a decent analogy that if someone who was on good
and he fell on hard times, it's hurting him more than someone
who's always been on hard times. Right? It hurts more to fall into
poverty than all you know all your life is poverty. So
the dialects
the revelation came down in the dialect of Quraysh. When the
prophets Allah, it was Selim saw that the other Arab tribes had
difficulty with this, he asked for more dialects.
Consider, come sit here.
We can't use the mic because of the other classes. And Allah began
revealing the Quran in multiple Arab dialects. later on during the
time of our men, the differences in dialects pose the problem. The
Muslims were confused and fighting over which was correct. The Senior
Companions thus agreed to return the Quran to only one dialect,
that of Quraysh even with that copy, which is known as a must
have and must have a lot of money, a number of roof dialects are
preserved, okay, very simple concepts. The Arab Peninsula have
many tribes, and they all have many unique features to their
language. Okay. For example, one of the tribes of the Arabs, they
do not have aim, the letter aim. The letter aim is replaced with
noon. Right? So imagine everywhere there's nine, they have a noon.
Right? Very different dialects. Very different. Okay. All Arabic,
but different dialects, different grammar rules, different
vocabulary. So when the Quran came, the these people had
difficulty accepting a recitation that was not from their dialect,
right. So the prophets I send them began asking Djibouti rallys salam
for the revelation to come in different dialects. And he wasn't
getting an answer for a while, then he got an answer one dialect,
second dialect, third dialect, then it opened up into every
dialect of the Arabs. Okay, every dialect of the Arabs. So when the
province I send them went to visit those tribes, he recited the Quran
to them in their own dialect.
And their chiefs to go, okay, okay, sounds like their chiefs
would teach the people the Quran through their dialect. So they
felt comfortable with it, right? They feel comfortable with it.
You can imagine that a guy from Brooklyn, if he was to go to
London, to lecture is not going to be accepted. Right? He won't be
accepted
once maybe for as a vanity thing, but he cannot go be an imam there
for example, you no one's gonna listen to you. Right? Because
people for the long term, they're only listened to one of their own.
For the short term, you can bring anyone but for a long term, Imam.
We want one of our own, someone who understands us. So the Quran
came and all these dialects. So it was a big blessing. And all the
tribes eventually after some 20 years, 30 years, everyone was a
Muslim. Right? All of Arabia was Muslim.
And the one thing the province I said them did not tolerate any
second religion and Arabia, the prophesy. Sam said, there should
be no two religions in the peninsula.
So
when did this become a problem?
When the Arabs now are now conquering other lands, and all
might have been a hot tub and both members often they're calling upon
like Almighty us to call the Bedouin. He used to call them the
reserves. So when Medina is, is lacking men when Mecca is depleted
from men, too many people serving in the army he would go into the
deep into the nomads and said I need your men to go fight. So he's
now calling on men from all different,
all different parts of the peninsula to go off and fight.
So what happens is now you have the Quran being recited by one mm.
But another Muslim boy youth from from birth he was taught the Quran
with different words, different letters.
different pronunciation, different grammar. So he doesn't recognize
the Quran at all.
Right, so what happened
in Azerbaijan during the one of the fights in Azerbaijan,
the sahabi, Khalifa son of UMN,
witnessed that the Muslims from Iraq and the Muslims from Syria
took their swords out.
After Sultan Maghrib
is this we'd never heard this Quran before. And could you
imagine if someone came here and brought us some Quran that we
don't know, right? There's gonna be a fight. Right? You're gonna
get so upset, okay? You're gonna be upset. But how are they fun?
New, that's all valid. Because he's educated. He knew it's all
valid. These are common folk, they don't know any better. So what did
he do? Because he has knowledge. He knew this is a bigger problem
than Azerbaijan. He left Azerbaijan went straight,
immediately, like an emergency, straight to the door of Ottoman he
didn't even go home, straight to the door, have both men knocked on
the door of man, there's a big problem. All of these roof, these
lowfat these dialects are going to cause fights in Oma. So
Ottoman then what did he do? What does a good rule ruler do? It's
not revelation, right? It needs opinion, anything that needs
opinion, you cannot make a unilateral decision. So he
gathered the elders of the sahaba. I live in Avatar. Right, many of
the elders of the sahaba.
And he said to them, okay, what do we do about this? And they were a
good people, too. So what did they say? They say we trust your
judgment. And this is upon Allah, when people are righteous, this is
how they behave. Right? Like, you can have a husband and wife,
they're going to pick the color of the wall, right?
And you can tell a lot by this.
No, it should be this. No, it shouldn't be this or another good
couples are what do you want? Right? Well, you know, she wants
something but she's gonna say whatever you want, you know, she
wants something all right. But she's polite. And you say, well,
whatever you want, right? And they're both being polite back and
forth. Because they're educated, there have to be they have good
emotions, they don't have bad feelings towards each other. So
this is what happened. And author man said, By Allah, I think author
man said,
everything should be eliminated, except
the dialect of chorus that we've been reciting here in Medina.
Right? Because it's the capital.
They agree, they all said we agree. Now author man said, No.
Another question.
What should we do with everyone who has written Quran? Right? From
the old dialect?
So again, he said, What do you say? And they said, We want to
hear what you say.
And he said, my suggestion is to burn them all.
Physically eliminate all the dialects, then the oral dialect
will die off by itself. Right? Every time a father dies, a man
dies, it's slowly going to go away. Right? So they agreed. And
so they wrote the Quran only. They had Zaven Tebbetts come and for
other scribes, and write the Quran only in the dialects of Quraysh.
But because the spelling and the letters and the words was still
very rudimentary, there were no dots, and no vowel marks on the
Quran. Back then, in the Arabic language, that allowed room for
that allowed room for some aspects of some dialects to seep in.
And that was accepted. They accepted that no problem. So
that's why we have something called Kira ads. There's the word
roof
which means dialects also known as low hertz dialects. Okay, and
there's gonna add an arrow or dialects. Akira is a religiously
legally sanctioned recitation. And what are the conditions?
For a aspects of recitation to be sanctions? What's the condition?
Two conditions? Number one,
it must be matching
the original most half of Earth man I meant that utterance must be
possibly to be
It's possible according to that original manuscripts. Okay?
That's condition number one.
Condition number two is that it has to have a chain of
transmission back to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Okay,
so imagine now if you removed all the dots and all the vowel marks
from the Quran, all you're going to have is the spikes, right? The
spikes in some of the letters, so you can replace a lot of things.
That's what a chat with yet, things like that. So that's the
first thing. But on top of that you needed a complete chain of
transmission. Back to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam. So
when we say the seven recitations or the 10, recitations? Do we mean
the word Cara ads, which means the legally religiously sanctioned
recitations? Okay?
And why do we say seven or 10, or 14? It's the same that we say the
format hubs is because that's just what was preserved. Right? The
scholars of Islam of the first few generations, they preserved 10
major ones. And from the 10, there are minor differences, right. It's
just what was preserved like in sort of methodology of Islamic
law.
How many methodologies were there many, but how many were codified
and preserved and passed on for? For methods, we have format. That
was why that's just what the OMA codified and preserved.
Other people had other other opinions. But it wasn't codified
or preserved. So we don't have questions.
When it was what?
That's correct. Yep.
It was in the dialect of how that person heard it from the Prophet
salallahu Alaihe. Salam, then in the time of Abu Bakar
Zaman debit was commanded to collect the whole Quran, not by
rewriting it, but just collecting the scrap the notes from everyone
and putting it all in one room. And that's what he did a big pile
out of order. Different forms of paper,
camel bone, skin, out of order different scripts, okay? And put
in a pile, just for preservation. Just like if I were to say, look,
I'm moving. I want all my books in one pile. So I got my logbooks, my
novels, my religious books, all my personal diary, all in one big
shoebox, right. That's how it was. Then in this time of man, he said,
now we got to straighten this whole thing out and write it cover
to cover. So they did that and they did five copies. Mecca,
Medina, Kufa
measured AXA and
Egypt Yeah.
Sometimes the words synonyms so for example,
Acharya Melka on the document Acharya, yo Mei Hakuna NASA
conversion of truth, what a corner DiBello kazoo filamin Fouche.
The word alien and the word Souf are synonyms.
One tribe did not use the word I had. They use the word Souf.
Or you may call it a nest configuration of truth, which
means people are going to be like, like scattered moths, or like
locusts scattered. What's the corner? Je Batoka suplement
Fouche. Then the mountains will just become like pieces of wool.
Like if you if the mountain became wool, what would happen? It would
just evaporate off and fall away. Right? So the word alien and the
word Souf are synonyms. Right? Sometimes a word was added. Right?
Like in suit. It's in KEF suited to the calf says that there was a
king that used to take every ship.
Right? The king there was seizing every ship. So Heather came and he
broke the ship of those people so that the king month take their
ship. We're doing them as a service right?
Now, in one of the recitations, it says, are one of the arrows it
says we have some of the things preserved, even though we don't
use it in recitation is preserved for the sake of knowledge. It says
and there was a king who used to seize every sound ship.
Right? So it adds to the expression and then Allah subhanaw
taala says and another one
They kill and get killed. And another verse, or in another
dialect, they get killed and kill,
they get killed and killed. Right? Different things. Another one
says, on the day that death comes with truth. So in other words, you
will certainly die. Another one What says when Truth comes with
death, right, which means the truth of life will be apparent to
you only after you die. different meanings but the key is none of
them contradict. This is the only important thing. The only
important thing that matters is to know that Kira adds an act of
never contradict okay.
The English language is spoken in various dialects, British
American, Australian, South African, Irish and excetera.
Even American English has many dialects southern New England
Midwestern etc. Arabic likewise had different dialects known as
Mohawk. Literally languages are literally letters, but meaning
what meaning dialects, they differed in the same exact way as
the English dialects different, they have different, they have
different idioms use different adjectives for different
descriptions, and had different names for different things. To
express that two things are very distinct, we say they are apples
and oranges. In South Africa, they say chalk and cheese.
They relay the same meaning in different words, different letters
can be used to in older English, the past tense was expressed with
a T, as in learnz, whereas today it is with Edie. As in learned,
further pronunciation differs as well. In New York, for example,
the words that end in an A are often pronounced with an R, as in
the name French Francesca, which is often pronounced as Francesca,
Francis, Princess Francis, Francis in
its essence. Yeah. So in new in New York, they're going to add an
art to everything, they can't end with an A. So actually, actually,
they actually need to take classes if they want to really get a job,
right? Because it's not acceptable.
For according to some jobs, like,
you're not going to work in the radio, for example, talking like
that, okay.
In Britain, those who speak the Queen's English will hardly ever
pronounce the R, hardly would be pronounced oddly, and so on and so
forth. Is that right? That's correct. Basically, originally,
the Quran was revealed in the dialect of Quran, Allah sent me to
recite with one dialect how to use a half Muslim. However, the
Prophet sallallaahu, Selim saw that non Qureshi tribes were they
were disinclined from the Quran because the dialect was foreign to
them. He used to lie to Salim first pray to Allah. I ask your
forgiveness, my OMA cannot handle being on only on one how to make
the matter easier on my own money. And then he as Gibreel for more
dialects and Allah subhanho data gave a second, then he asked for a
third, then a fourth and then finally Allah subhanaw taala
commanded the prophets Allah they were setting them to recite with
seven different dialects.
To God, there is doubt as to whether or not the seven is
literal or not. Since seven and Arabic refers to plurality, for
example, if someone says there are 70 ways to get to Mecca, it just
means so many it cannot be counted. One indicator towards
this is understanding that there are numerous stories of companions
within the city of Medina who recited differently. Ahmad once
heard a man reciting in a way he never heard before. You came and
raised in regions that had not been that he was in prayer, I
would have dragged into the messenger so low it was sell them
as the prayer they once the profit so low, it was said them will
confirm both of their recitations. When the Prophet sallallaahu Selim
saw how Omar was perturbed he placed his hand on his chest and
said three or four dialects in in Medina alone
then it is the script on
a way shaytaan thrice excuse me and I symptomatic and I've been
messing with recited in different dialects to if you already have
three or four dialects in Medina alone, then just hard to
understand how the meaning had the remaining three or four could
encompass the rest of the finish. Okay, so the Hadith that says
seven dialects, the seven in the Arabic language means uncountable.
Okay, this is something known when you see seven or 70 in Islamic
literature or Arabic literature, it means an ending number. Okay? A
non countable number. Okay, so if you say, how many cups are there
seven, if you say seven in Arabic
or to idiom, it in the Arabic sense it means some number greater
than that, but not more than like, not in the not in the tense, not
20 3040, something between that. Now if you say 70, it means some
number hovering around 70 to 100, right? Like that. So these are,
that's the meaning of seven and 70. That's why you always see,
you'll get this reward up to 70 times this year up to 700 times
like that, or a murderer will be able to make intercession for 70
of his family, right? So okay, what happens if I have 71
grandkids? One of them has to be left out. No, it means
it means an unending number.
Okay, keep going.
Ultimately, the rule if we're permitted to ease Arabs into the
religion, such that each tribe related to the Quran in the same
way that two people who speak the same language relate they were
they were they were new to the faith and needed this flexibility
the differences were insignificant the prophets Allah it was salam
summarize them as such, oh my God, what an is all correct. So as long
as mercy is not changed into torture and torture into mercy in
some that roof reflect the same meaning with different wordings?
How does it differ? The scholars have discerned a number of
different ways among them the following, okay, so we have eight
different ways
in which the author of different
for four of these ways are retained. Okay, and four are
cancelled out. So remember when we said that the text of the Quran
was so rudimentary, it allowed for some of the hoof aspects to stick
and some to be eliminated? All right, now read.
The first one alteration of words gender or number, and Surah to
meet
more in me No, me No, you recite?
Well Ladino home, Mala Dino li a man next to him, walk them around.
In surah tell me noon. The verse says those who guard their trusts
and contracts, all their trusts, right? Many man nets it means like
anything if I entrust you to save my seat, that's a trust, right? If
I entrust you with money, it's a trust. But when the Quran speaks
about mn one is talking about the big one, which is what Free Will
okay
like for example, we offered the trusts
to the skies the earth and the mountains, but they refuse to
carry it but the human being carried it which is what freewill
Okay, at the end of spiritual Kiama we read Adam Yakko Noto feta
mean many Yumna was not he the human being a clot made of sperm
that grew
another how to recites at American money and thomna which is feminine
refers to the clock not the * in other words was not man a clock
and that clock grew very subtle difference, but it's a difference
nonetheless. Okay. So this is the alteration of a words gender or
number. Okay, now number two page 20 grammatical changes
ma that Bashar on students use of this is not a human okay.
So they considered Matt to be heartfulness and however even
Mestre would recite it in a timimi dialect was considered to be a
neutral particle such the word Bashar did not change my head that
Bashar rune Okay, the pronunciation changes but not the
meaning. Okay, we have an Arabic three types of words, verbs, nouns
particles, particles, can make can be neutral or they can make a word
have a casita or they could work make a word have a flattop or a
dogma or be neutral keep it as a dogma. So they differ on what is
the effect of certain particles, certain prepositions.
And another example is everyone raise your hand if you're
following along just I need to gauge how people are getting this
stuff. Everyone following along,
made you your hand if you're not following along and you need some
clarification.
In another example, we read Fetzer lab, Adam O'Meara rugby he can
imagine Adam received the transmission of words from his
Lord.
Note that Adam here has a dama dama boo. What is it? Xover is is
in order to
zebra
In person who?
Zebra and PESA and press, what is it? dama. Right. Visible, right.
Pash, okay. So there's a patch on that knee right there, making it
the subject. So Adam looked and found words from Allah azza wa jal
and use that to make Toba. Now, another recitation says for tilaka
dama mera be can imagine here. It's the words that came to Adam.
Allah sent words to Adam. This is actually very important. Okay?
Because who is initiating the repentance? Adam are Allah azza wa
jal? And really, these two recitations tell us it's both,
right. It's both. Allah sent him words to repent with, or Adam
sought words to repent with. Okay, so the second one translate says
words from his Lord were transmitted to Adam. So in the
first recitation, Adam is actively seeking forgiveness, and taking
these words, which are about Toba. But in the second, he is passive,
and Allah sends him prayers out of pity for him. Okay, so it's
indicating that the act of Toba goes both ways. We are seeking it
and Allah is seeking us. Right? Or Allah is reaching out to us with
chance to make Toba.
Change in verb forms. This example reflects a change in grammar,
subject object order as well.
Suited sub, which is about the ancient Yemeni kingdom of Sheba
describes how the city state was in opulence and bounty, but was
ruined by its people's excesses. Shiva had a freeway system that
connected between two centers of commerce that Allah tells us that
they said for Karo, robbing a bad bein as fattiness. Our Lord make a
distance between our parts of destination.
It means that they became greedy and sought to profit from their
freeway by taxing the commuters with a tax that was unjustified
and impermissible.
Now, this is what the exegete say. Another recitation says for Kira
buena bad have been spared in transit as our Lord made a
distance between our points of destination in the first
recitation. All right, the word of Ben has a fence which indicates
objects, ie He is the recipient of their supplication. In the second,
you will see the Dhamma on the Buddha making him the subject, the
doer the other underlined word is the verb. Right in the first
recitation, it is bad with a sukoon on his left on his last
letter, meaning that it is the command tense use for supplication
right and the second however, it is a Fattah, which indicates past
tense. So what is the meaning here? They're not different, but
not they're different, but not contradictory. In the first
recitation, they eagerly wanted to add the tax, Oh our Lord make a
distance. Okay, ie give us success in applying his tax. But when the
tax proved harmful to the economy, and it ruined them, they blamed
Allah Our Lord has made it difficult on us, okay, whereas
they should have taken responsibility for their own
actions. Also, it can mean that the citizens who are tax blamed
Allah, instead of blaming their administrators, blaming Allah is
the first sign of ignorance for this is what shaytaan did when he
realized he had done wrong.
Okay, so
that was a bit of hard one, but it's basically about change in
verb forms. Next one different accents. This requires some audio
examples, but we can try to explain it here there is email
which has to do with Elif Matsuura. At the end of the word,
well, Doha the air at the end of eta, like cat Imola is to
pronounce the A as as in cake, what the high, right what do Hey,
versus what Baja okay, what Baja, what the high, right different
different ways of pronouncing it? Okay, long a short a, whatever
they call those. Okay? Now another one has to do with tapete or the
rock. All right. So T it like, for example
let's take example of what word for example, basically era
or Re is a big difference at Telara or at Tilray. Right, Aurora
or so another difference also something called Test heel
a concept called Test heat. Okay, it says heel is okay. When you
don't pronounce the Hamza as in movement versus movement, movement
or movement. So these are three different examples. Imola sort of
create and test him of pronunciation accents. Okay?
Next is change of letters. The difference between letters in two
parts are local and globe local differences are by way of dots.
You see the bet that what's the difference between the letters
only the dots, we call that a local dips a global difference
means the entire form
the entire form is different. Okay? Well caf and thought totally
different. Now the arrows differ in both local and global changes
to their letters. For example, we mentioned the example of Yumna and
thomna.
Okay,
now there are completely different letters. For example, the word a
did a syrup on Musa team goddess to the straight path is also
pronounced in some dialects as a dinner sit up on Mr. Beam, and yet
in others as a dinner, a Ziraat and Mustafi so complete different
pronunciation of letters, a dinner, Surat and dinner Ziraat or
at dinner, a Sirat completely different letters.
Change in word order, so that's a Toba fact Sudoku and they kill in
our kilts other auto in reverse order, they are killed and killed.
Okay.
So in the benefit is that in the second recitation indicates the
order of what is greater in reward. Whereas the second
recitation is an order of what actually happens, right? So is
anyone killed will ever kill unless he's killed? Right? The
order is that you kill someone in the battle and you get kills. So
why is it that Allah gives us the recitation the revelation as they
get killed and kill? What's the logic? That's the order of reward?
It's more rewardable to get killed in battle than to kill someone in
battle. Right. So
there is also a jab at Socrates when most people have the throes
of death come with the truth. The implication is that with death
comes justice, ie the afterlife it can also be translated in truth
the throes of death have come without sacrifice and have given
modes.
Seven complete change of words with a synonym and we give this
example Kalyanaraman fish like puffed up wool because suplement
fish right and and so far both means a war and it's been Malik
recited Sudeten Muslim in an asset and then he said to water on a
swivel T Butina. Whereas, the norm is in a nutshell it's an ad and
said to Aton will acquire Mattila Okay, and he said ACOEM will also
have what are here are all one.
Lastly, adding or subtracting words, what kind of medical
Yehudah philosophy none of us but there was a king trailing them who
captured every ship versus what kind of medical Yakubu cool as a
Phoenix and Sala hatin rasa, and there was a king channeling them
who was capturing every sound on damaged ship. This is important
because in the story, Allah protects the sailors by sending
someone to damage their ship. If we go by the first verse, then it
would apply that the king was seizing all ships sound are
damaged. But the second recitation clarifies saying He only takes the
sound ones, which he could add to his fleet immediately and does not
have to fix
questions on this so far. Yep.
Those dialogue
is
which ones?
These differences?
The question is, is this limited to the small number of verses or
this is all over the place? The answer is this is what we know. We
know very little.
The old dialects have died out, right. They've died out. We don't
know. So they probably were a lot more, but we don't know. Right? So
it doesn't make matter for us now. Because it's not recited anymore.
But
Islam web
is Islam, Islam. way.com used to have a section devoted to
different legally sanctioned recitations that you can listen
to. And they have many unique
things even what is the correct way to start? A surah? After Sudha
you can finish a surah
say Bismillah R Rahman Rahim and say the next surah in the same
breath
right. Or you can stop, say Bismillah R Rahman Rahim and start
the next year. You cannot finish, say Bismillah R Rahman Rahim, then
stop, then start the next surah. You see, this is how we're taught,
right? Well, there's a recitation called caliph and Hamza, which you
can listen to in Islam, where they have a special way of ending a
surah
exact opposite. Namely, you do not end a surah by stopping at the
surah you must recite the first verse of the next Surah to
accentuate the current continuity of the Quran. Right? So if you
want to start the next definitive Surah, you have to recite the
first verse of the next Surah forcing everyone to know the
continuity of service, right? That's the restoration of credit.
Bonhams. also kind of an Hamza has a unique things. You think about
Hamza
that it will you must stop before reciting a Hamza. So for example,
if you recite a Samoa to Earth, in colophon, Hamza, you would have to
recite a Samoa tea well, or you have to fully stop before the
pronunciation of the Hamza. Right.
So a lot of unique things have been kept. And you can go to Islam
way.com. Could you pull it up to see if they still kept it like
that? But there is a section if you hit Quran, audio recitation,
it should give you many recitations that you could listen
to and see the differences okay.
No, the only verse This is actually interesting question. The
only verse that is different upon
in the Quran is Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim.
The first one.
Okay.
According in Medina, according to Malik Bismillah R Rahman Rahim is
not part of Fattah. It's just someone put it there at the
beginning of the book.
Right and to divide the source and Bismillah R Rahman Rahim is only a
verse in the Quran in one area, which is in the middle of Surah to
nominate when says Solomon sent her a letter and began it with
Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim.
Where do we get that we should begin everything with Bismillah
Rahman Rahim. We learn it from the example of Solomon. Allah says in
the Quran, the Hebrew prophets, they were guided use them as
examples. Right? So Allah says in surah number
that Solomon sent the Queen of Sheba a letter and began it with
Bismillah R Rahman Rahim therefore we begin everything we do with
Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim. So some Malik says Know someone put
Bismillah R Rahman Rahim up there
or yeah, not he put it up there but it's the beginning. And it is
the marker between sutras. That's it. It's not part of the Quran.
But Shafi and eccmid said no, it is part of the Quran because
there's a hadith that the prophets I send them said the fatsia is
seven verses and Bismillah R Rahman Rahim is one of them.
Chef and so in the Malik says you're bringing me one Hadith, but
I'm going by what everyone is Medina is doing. The scholars of
Medina are doing
okay
ship
Oh, yeah. What about it? You say
something about noise. Noise. Noise. Right. What should you
know? They have a homeland. That means
that we're
not we're not making noise
Yeah, so that's why he broke it.
Yeah, that's why he broke it.
Yeah.
Well, when he broke the ship, they had to dock it
and fix it. Yeah. It wasn't even at sea. It wasn't that's what
yeah. Now here it is the website, Islam way.com. And you got many
more
Any recitations here, right?
So you could search and you could hear many different types of
narrations of legally sanctioned recitations that the scholars of
Islam still
teach. It will be a goal in life if we can produce a graduate,
right? Who studied the 10? recitations?
Question Yep.
The function of nasal cavity, modality means there are some
times we have something called the Guna. Which requires you to make
almost like a nasalized. Use your nose almost right.
Yeah.
This this, the value of this is the beauty of the sound. Right,
the beauty of the sound so that is not only coming from the throat,
but it's giving it more textures coming from different types of
cells.
Actually, that's a good point. That Ted's wheat rules, right?
Touch weed rules. We have touch weed rules. So weed rules are like
cleanliness, right? She's asking about does some of the aspects of
how we have to recite it has another function, it reflects that
someone studied, like you would never do this on your own. Right?
You would never know what to hold for, for what to keep, what to
not, unless you study. It's just like cleanliness, right?
Like some people are clean, you can tell that means he's trained.
He's like learned he's civil. It differentiates the ignorant from
the learning. So likewise, these Ted's weed rolls, you would never
think to do this on your own. But given Tajweed rules, it separates
from us the learned from the unlearn
Okay, same thing with technical language technical language
separates the learning from the unlearning
a Shafi when he arrived in Iraq, right?
He got up to pray
in the mosque. And some of the scholars there were sitting, and
they looked and they said, he looks different, right? So they
sent a boy to test him with a question and bring back the
answer. And say, and the center boy to say, how do you begin your
prayer?
Okay, and this very simple answer will tell us if he's a scholar or
not. Okay.
So, Chef, he said the boy went up to Shafi after he finished, and he
said, how do you begin your prayer? Right? So Shafi answered
he said, with one father and two sons, right? That's how I begin my
prayer with one father and two sons. So they said only a scholar
talks like that, right? So the father it is standing, right, or
the father just standing. I'm sorry, to forests and once on the
far descending and saying Allahu Akbar, the Sunnah is raising your
hands. Right? So he, you know, give them a signal that he's not a
common man, it's a scholar. That's the value of technical language in
the malloc is the name of the malloc is actually put a lot of
technical language in their books, and made their books abstruse.
Why? Because they didn't they wanted, they did not want anyone
to study from a book. They wanted to force you to take this book to
a scholar.
Right to study with a human being, right? It's very dangerous to just
say, I'm going to do it on my own. Right?
They say that the scholar who learns, right, the scholar who
learns only from a book, right, the first one to applaud him is to
is bliss. And pat him on the back and he will encourage, he'll start
saying to him, it's right there. Why do you need to go to a class
it's right there. Right? So when you learn from a book, you don't
know if you what you understood is correct. You think you understood
but you don't know if you're understood correctly. Number two,
yeah.
Oh, definitely Hadith? Definitely. in Mauritania, they say and they
used to say the honor of setup used to say and Hadith Ramallah.
hadith is a jungle in which you will get lost, right, you will get
lost. So
So they said Hadith can lead to cover, Hadith studied by itself
can lead to Cofer.
It's less harmful, but you still should have recourse to someone.
Why? Why? How could someone say studying Hadith by yourself leads
to cover? Of course, because when you read such a hadith about
the punishments who do it punishments, or you read a hadith
about something that today we consider really bad, right? And
there's no explanation, just the Hadith, you will start having bad
ill feelings towards a profit unless someone is there explaining
it to you. What is the whole picture? Okay, what the whole
picture is, okay. And most of the people who actually do leave
Islam,
one of their attributes, they always study alone, though read
Hadith books by themselves, and go to the chapter of slavery and say,
Oh, how abhorrent this religion is, right? And go to this chapter,
that chapter and say, Oh, how horrible this religion is. No one
is there to give them the context. Right? No one is there to give
them the priorities or the explanation. And they never live
to see what Muslim life is like. Some of these people don't even
know what most of them life is like that. What is the mosque
life? What is the life of seekers? What do they do as friends? They
don't know any of this, right? And yet, they'll just take that one
piece harp on it and shaytaan will do the rest. And then they end up
leaving Islam.
Right so Sheikh Celik used to always say Al Hadith and medulla
Hadith will lead you astray. If you study by yourself, you must
study with the sheikh alerted person, we are bringing
a shaker.
We're bringing it Chica name Rania out, we're just waiting for her to
have her baby inshallah.
And then she's coming to spend the weekend with us. Why? Because I'm
noticing every single time we have something, the brothers we get to
hang out with the sheikh, and have some fun with the sheikh. The
sisters don't write. So we're going to bring her she's going to
teach. She gave a Friday night lecture.
She's going to give a Saturday class, Saturday evening. will be
all private.
Dinner with the sisters. And then Sunday. You know, we haven't
decided to either maybe it'll just be a private thing or half half,
half for everyone and half only for the womenfolk. Why? Because I
noticed that most of the benefit is actually not an election. Many
of the youth don't even know when the chef speaks. What they really
want, is afterwards, when they're having dinner with the sheiks and
talking, that's when you get the real thing going on. So we're
going to do that inshallah. She's the wife of Sheikh Romijn sewer,
who is Ristic Rahman, three is the most accomplished Maliki scholar
in America. Right? Ramen store. He's from Lebanon, half Lebanese.
Originally from Morocco, half Lebanese mom is from like,
Wyoming. American, right from Wyoming or something like that?
After Ramadan, because she has to have her baby first. And then
maybe November. It'll be. So her name is Rania Howard. She's a
psychiatrist as well. So she can she'll probably give a talk
related to but she's a she's a learned scholar that studied in
Syria. Right? She studied in Syria. Okay. And she,
she's also a psychiatrist, MD. So she's going to come and talk about
that bridge between Psych. And, you know, Dini side, right, which
is very hard to bridge. But she's bridging it right. And showing us
how therapy actually has some benefits is not all like, the old
school style. Right? Where if you're seeking therapy, like
you're something crazy, no, sometimes there's benefits, right?
Some people need to work things out. Right? So she's gonna talk
about that. But she's also going to speak about it from a to Sophie
side. And then she'll have plenty of time with the sisters. That's
what we need. Right? So we need and if we could, I mean,
SubhanAllah. We have a summer. You know, if she teaches in an
institute to I don't know, if it's online, though, it might be
online, which is fine, because our sisters could take that too, and
slowly become learned to the point that there are many shakers in the
communities. It's not so difficult to think it's crazy. It's not if
you're devoting four or five hours a week, like two hours, three
hours in the masjid, and two hours at home 1020 minutes a day, but
structured, right, so you know what book you have to cover. Give
it four or five years you're going to be ready to take on a student
right?
It's all about structure there are some people study so much no
structure, right? No structure. This is the first thing you need
to learn a normal Quran you need to know these fundamentals of
Quran right? And then the next thing is Arcada, then FIPPA right,
then we're doing to subwoofer and this is the heart of the matter,
right. So structure.
After this, we have had the after this year, not this term, we have
another term of the soul. Then we have Hadith, all year of Hadith
and we start all over. We start all over,
which has a little bit of Otomo Quran, or lumen Hadith.
Also that FIP. So just as I showed you, how is the Quran compiled?
You got to learn how Hadith was compiled, right? Then also fit.
The format hubs have different why are they different? They have
different methodologies. Right? They, they interpret the word
sunnah to have different meanings. They value different things
differently. That's why you have four methods. We want to study the
azul of all four, so you have an idea. Then eventually, Octavia,
you got to study beliefs, then eventually we're going to go and
study fifth, which is the law. This is the big one. This is the
meat. This is the gravy on top
and off. And this is the sauce. And the fifth is the meat.
How to get married, how to get divorced, how to fast how to make
hedge? Yep.
It's five years total. And then we start back to one. So if you
missed, you came in the middle, we got to start back all over. Now
what are we going to do with the people who finish all five years
you're going to be homeless now?
Okay, we do a good, good reader.
Of course, then we got then we got alcove.
So you got to know Ted's wheat, right? Like there's no such thing
as a learned person who never took a class in says wheat. We got
sisters Tajweed were some of the sisters who take that some of them
aren't here. But some of the sisters are taken to tweet, right?
Which is Tuesday night was it Tuesday, Thursday night,
both for men and women.
Thursday night for men Tuesday night for women. All you need to
take the class one term or one year, you notice read that reads
our heart. And then you at least need to memorize at least two,
three, just to be decent, to three just to be decent. Seven is is
very good. And then anything more is amazing, right? But what we
consider to be a learned Muslim, is that you've taken the this type
of curriculum, you constantly repeat study constant repeat until
it's drilled in your head. a sufficient amount of Arabic says
we sufficient amount of memorizes of Quran give it 567 years. And
the here's the ideal, the ideal would be the ultimate ideal of
Sunday, right would be that all five years are running
simultaneously every Sunday. Right? That would be the ideal.
Right? Your one is in one corner, your tours in another corner, year
three. So everyone who walks in doesn't have to walk in in the
middle walks in from the beginning. Right? That's the
ultimate goal of Sunday's. Then the other goal is that Monday
through Friday
is the seminary nine to five, right? seminary nine to five or 10
to five or something like that. That's the ultimate goal. That's
the vision of and this is just the knowledge part of the community.
Right?
Then you got the whole mbyc which is the actual community, right?
The actual stuff that's going on. Right? This is just the this is
the knowledge part. So that's the goal. And we end one step at a
time.
When you when you study the old soul, we teach comparative fit in
three things will teach you all four methods in three subjects.
Number one is the methodology number two, prayer, purification
and prayer because it's something that happens all the time you
should know all four schools. And number three, marriage and divorce
happens all the time. You should know all four schools. After that
you don't need to know all four schools. You just need to know one
school. So then you're going to be you're going to be told to pick
Hanafy share Shafi or Maliki fic. And if you don't pick we'll pick
for you right
yes
what's LD?
Yeah,
don't know. Don't know
Buddy, nothing about nothing.
Nothing. Well, we do have, we do have a converse class
you talking about?
What's LD, a learning disability? Learning Disability? Like remedial
math basically, right?
Because some, some adults don't like to be sitting down with kids.
With the kids, some kids, some adults would like to have a dose
in their level need to have any learning disabilities they don't
know nothing about nothing new is coming to the news talking about
human knowledge and knowledge and new plant knowledge. But how could
they get knowledge? They don't know how to get the knowledge to
get the knowledge to get to that how should we advertise that?
How do we how do we advertise it?
All right.
You named it
all right. We'll do it.
All right. Well, will you teach it you got to learn a little bit
first.
That's why sometimes you're not listening sometimes you saying
words you don't even understand
you don't even type it in anymore.
Siri
what's the word needed to get back to?
You?
That's a good, very good point.
You're right about you. May you you who wants to teach that? You
will teach that class?
What's my body?
Would you teach this class?
Okay.
Okay.
Any other sisters need to be in this class?
You know, people are you.
All right. So what do we want to call it? It's not for Dummies, or
remedial. 101.
Remedial. He's not going to know your
basis back to basics. All right. Back to it.
All right.
Jonas.
Jonas, your we're gonna get you the book. You're teaching the
class. Forget it. We don't need a book if they're not reading
anyway. Right? You're just you're going to teach the class Okay.
