00:02:14--> 00:02:26

I want to remind you of what we started with whistle that will help. If you recall, some of you may remember the story, or what Tom wrote the law one. This was reported by Imam Muhammad and his Muslim.

00:02:27--> 00:03:09

It was mentioned that he stated that before he embraced Islam, one of the most important events in his life took place. He said one day I came out of my house with the intention to cause trouble to the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, but the Prophet alayhi salatu salam had entered Masjid Al haram before the Allah. He said when I arrived I found that he was reciting Surah to will help calm in the prayer. I stood behind him and I listened. As he recited the Quran I wondered at its literary charm and its beauty. And suddenly this thought crossed my mind. Maybe he's a poet, as the people of Croatia are alleging is this basically the explanation? And just as that thought

00:03:09--> 00:03:21

crossed my mind, he heard the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam recite the words in now Hola. Hola Rasool in Karim wama, who are being cold Asia or funny.

00:03:22--> 00:03:46

To me, no, this is the word conveyed by an honorable messenger. It is not the word of a Shah, a poet. So he said, I said to myself, maybe if he is not a poet, perhaps what if he is a magician as they claimed? And then Allah subhanaw taala said and the Prophet slicin continued with the RE citation while being called Lika in Pali, Elam matter that karoun

00:03:47--> 00:04:25

The mural will be lon I mean, there upon he recited the word Slowloris and nor is this the word of a soothsayer, a magician literal, it is that you reflect me if you had common sense, you would not think that rather, you would see what is obvious, which is mentioned in the next day 10 Zero Mirabella. And I mean it is a revelation from Allah subhanaw taala, Lord of the words. So he said on hearing this Islam entered deep into my heart, some of the scholars say this was one of the most impactful moments on Omar wrote the Allah Han before he officially embraced Islam before he officially became a Muslim. And it's mentioned in many other places some of the events that took

00:04:25--> 00:04:59

place whether or not broadly Allah one. And I want us to think about the transformation that took place in his life, a strong opponent to Islam and he became one of the greatest servants of Islam, one of the greatest servants of Allah, a strong opposition and a strong enmity towards Islam and towards the launch towards the messenger SallAllahu wasallam. And Omar Ali allong became one of the most crucial figures in all of history. Now, we look at this and we say what are the factors that were in place that allow a human being to to make such a significant transformation?

00:05:00--> 00:05:32

In his or her life during the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he used to listen and reflect. He used to listen and reflect maybe he is this now that's not possible. Maybe it's this that's not possible, or moderately alone was known as unfurl the one who distinguish between truth and falsehood. He would speak the truth, he was very strong upon the truth, he will not shy away he will not sugarcoat the truth. So honorable the Lohana was, was considered the one who distinguished between truth and falsehood when he spoke to the people and he inclined towards certain things. And oftentimes, Omar on the long run would incline towards something. Remember, the revelation came down

00:05:32--> 00:06:06

for 23 years, oftentimes, he would incline towards something or suggest something, or if some scenario would happen, and then a verse would come down later affirming the same thing that are more broadly Allah Han inclined towards, and this happened with some other companions as well. But this shows us the transformation of our modern hotbar. But on the alohar on May, Allah subhanaw taala was to benefit from his life and from the lives of all of the companions, the great men and women who followed the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and stucked stuck to the message very closely to the point where their lives before and after were completely different. May Allah subhanaw taala

00:06:06--> 00:06:41

allow us to be transformed through what we study of the Quran as well. Now, we mentioned in the last passage, if you recall, Surah to help, we have verses about paradise and versus about hellfire, specifically, not Jannah as a description or Hellfire as a deep description, but what we focused on more was the introduction to that moment which was receiving your book either in one's right hand or in one's left hand. May Allah Subhana Allah make us of us familiar mean that people receive their books in the right hands Allama me now Allah subhanaw taala turns our attention and the attention of those who are listening in one of the earliest sought to the one of the most important questions the

00:06:41--> 00:07:20

foundational question of the Quran as the speech of Allah subhanaw taala now, this is a question that is still being discussed today. Because obviously there are still non Muslims today people who reject the Quran and the authorship of the Quran being attributed to Allah subhanaw taala. So, this is something we do need to understand and this is what we will cover in sha Allah with the last part of the surah the finale of Surah will have Inshallah, so verse 3839, and 40 Here we have Allah subhanaw taala swearing, for that awkward scene will be monitored soon I swear by what you can see one natural stone and what you cannot see Allah subhanaw taala swearing by everything, this is a

00:07:20--> 00:07:54

powerful have previously if you remember Allah Subhana Allah would swear by something and then we would basically see something else or he would give us an oath and then another oath and then a response. Remember with every oath we would find what some response, some job some emphasis something being highlighted. So what is the highlight here? What is the most important parts of the surah here in terms of this finale, Allah swearing by everything that you can see in everything you cannot see. Therefore, there are many things you cannot see there are many things that are beyond the realm of the empirical the visual that we believe in, that are metaphysical as well. Allah

00:07:54--> 00:08:32

subhanaw taala says in the whole of oh no Rasool in carry, indeed this Quran is the citation of a Noble Messenger. Now you might remember those of you who are with us for tafsir ages I'm Allah subhanaw. Taala refers in another sort of 2g breed it Salam as soon as well in the hula hula neurosurgeon Creme de La Quwata in the Laotian McKean mocha I mean, Allah subhanaw taala says Verily, this is the word meaning this is this Quran is brought by whom who is it recited by Jean Baudrillard, a cinema most honorable messenger is an owner of power, he has a higher rank with Allah subhanaw taala, Lord of the Throne, and he is obeyed and he is trustworthy. So he's basically a

00:08:32--> 00:09:14

higher ranking angel. So the word Rasool don't misunderstand it in this verse or in Jews ama as well. Here it is referring to Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam that this is his re citation. He is a Rasul who brought about the RE citation from a Rasool mentioned as well in the Quran Gibreel Ali salaam from Allah subhanaw taala in the hood of holy Rasool in Karim, and then Allah subhanaw taala says, one man who will be called Isha or Polly Elam, to me No, this is not the word of a poet as you some of you, of course would claim you hardly have any faith. Now what this means in the Arabic language called Isla magic, we know that literal it is that you believe this can mean

00:09:14--> 00:09:54

basically that you do not believe at all you are rejecting the truth with its entirety, you are not accepting even a part of it. Another meaning can be that hearing the Quran, your heart sometimes itself will react or cry out or say or feel this cannot be the speech of a human being the speech of Prophet Muhammad sighs and the speech of any other human being and yet you are people of color are responding to it and you're behaving stubbornly. You are being very rebellious and you're refusing to believe in it. Those amongst them as we mentioned before, many times who knew poetry remember that this was something you had to study for many years. This is a small city you had to study with

00:09:54--> 00:10:00

a teacher the teachers were known the types of poetry and the styles of poetry and we're all known to people who

00:10:00--> 00:10:32

To study to understood it, this was something they had not heard before. Where is this coming from this other worldly speech? So I'm going to stop thought what if their accusation not? Maybe it's not poetry? What if this is magic? What if this is something evil? What if this is something else? But he in a matter that karoun how little you reflect where is your common sense? Meaning what you know, as and when he didn't relate, I said, and others have said, you know the words of people of evil, you know the words of people of sorcery, you know, the words of the people of poetry. This is not something like anything you've ever heard before. In fact, this is the clearest proof to you, or

00:10:32--> 00:11:07

people of poetry or people of eloquence, that this is from Allah subhanaw taala because it's something you yourself cannot accomplish. And this was a challenge to them. There are many verses in the Quran challenging the people of courage to try to come up with even one thing like the Quran. And this obviously comes with many criteria, what is it? What is jazz in terms of what what can they not really replicate and imitate? In the Quran? Is it just a literary miracle? Or are there many other things as well, and this is something we'll cover shortly inshallah. So to dispel any kind of doubt whatsoever in the minds of those who are listening of polish, and of course people today,

00:11:07--> 00:11:42

Allah says, 10 zero mineral behind me, this Quran is a revelation from the Lord of all worlds, Allah subhanaw taala. So Allah is swearing by everything you see, and everything you cannot see. This is the response to the oath now, that the Quran is not the word of any human being, whether it's poetry, soothsayer, or anybody else. But it is a revelation from Allah subhanaw taala the Creed, Lord of All the Worlds and this is being presented through a messenger Gibreel he said, I'm through a messenger amongst the human beings chosen from amongst you, because He is honest, because he is righteous because he is pious, he is noble and he is gentle. Let us now consider in what sense the

00:11:42--> 00:12:20

oath has been sworn that which was visible to the people we're going to list inshallah eight things and then I want to emphasize a little more about the origins of the Quran. So try to keep going try try to basically pitch it pay attention to these eight points, in terms of the context, what is happening during the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Number one, this speech was being presented by a person who was noble FROM AMONGST THEM and gentle and was not hidden from anybody in society in Makkah, he was known to them so it's not a stranger, right? This is someone they know and they knew their entire lives. In fact, in one of the places in one of the strategies

00:12:20--> 00:12:55

in the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala commands the Prophet sallallahu Sallam to remind them forgot Lubbock tofi Qumran, Maura, amicably, I felt attacked alone. I lived amongst you for a lifetime before revelation came to me. Do you not use your common sense? Are you not people of common sense meaning Don't you see that clearly, this is not for me, I'm forced to recite ALLAH SubhanA commanded me to recite Allah sent me as a messenger to all of you. Now everyone knew. The Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam was the best man amongst them in their nation state in the region in their tribe in their village. The Prophet Muhammad Slauson was the best in character. Nobody is given the

00:12:55--> 00:13:33

nickname of Saudi Amin, the truthful, the honest, the trustworthy unless he was known for it as a deep part of who he was, you are identified with certain things. And so the Prophet sallallahu sallam was a truthful person. I had a conversation once on this topic with an atheist who later became Muslim. And this is something that we lead them towards in conversations where once you establish belief in God, and you ask them, what would it take for you to believe in God and you start talking about a message from God? And then you ask the question, well, what kinds of things do you expect to see in this message? And what kind of person do you think would be chosen to deliver

00:13:33--> 00:14:03

this message? So they would say, Oh, he should be known that he's somebody who tells the truth. So one of them wouldn't have said, for example, one of the atheists he's like, Well, it can't be somebody who's a pathological liar. Like, you know, the guy who's always on Twitter who can't have somebody like that, who's chosen by God, that doesn't make any sense to me. So well, okay, this is a great point. So the person should be known in society for their integrity for their honesty. Who else other than Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi, Salam of Saudi for me, known to people for his honesty, to the point where he asked them, Do you think I would lie to you? They said, No. Do you

00:14:03--> 00:14:37

think if I told you that there's an army coming from behind this hill that I would be lying to? They said, No, of course not. You have never lied to us. None of us can ever remember a time you lied to us is always telling the truth. So Allah subhanaw taala. Of course, the All Wise chose amongst the human beings, the most honest person of great character, to be sent with the speech so that people realize when they think with their common sense and their intellect, will clearly this is a person who has never lied before, always telling the truth. Prophet Muhammad SAW Islam is known for this attribute his entire life, he would not lie about something. This major, I think, is Salatu was

00:14:37--> 00:15:00

Salam. Number two, they also saw very clearly, the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam had no selfish motives, no agenda, nothing of this world that he wanted, as he presented the word of Allah subhanaw taala. In fact, some of you know this, when you study the Sierra, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam sacrificed all of his worldly and personal interest in dedication to the

00:15:00--> 00:15:33

This message. So the Prophet sallallaahu Salam in terms of his livelihood, his business where he had lived, kicked out of his homeland, the Sahaba were kicked out, abandoned all forms of ease and comfort, abandoned worldly things. He was being cursed by people. He was being abused by people who used to show him the highest levels of respect, veneration and esteem in society. By the way, it's not only him that's being insulted, some people can handle being insulted. And it's very difficult when you're someone who has a lot of emotional intelligence and you're very empathetic, and you feel the Prophet sallallahu Sallam saw his own family being abused and assaulted his own companions,

00:15:33--> 00:16:07

brothers and sisters being hurt, some of them were killed. Any person who is doing this for worldly motives would have given up in the very beginning, would have accepted one of the primaries, they offered him all of their wealth so that he could stop spreading Islam. They offered him the highest position, they said, We will make you a king, when they don't even have a king, we will make you a king, if that's what you're really after he refused, we will offer you all the wealth that we have, he refused. The Prophet saw us and gave up all worldly things in dedication for this message. And he said if you gave me the sun and the moon, basically you offer them to me, I would not start

00:16:07--> 00:16:42

proclaiming this message. Why? Because it is the truth, because it is from Allah subhanho wa Taala and he cannot start proclaiming what he knows to be true. So clearly, you see what when someone is honest, and they are a person of integrity, and their and their character is known to be amongst the exalted moral character in their society. And now they are being presented with a message from God convey it to your people, and this person is convenient to their people and losing all worldly things and being abused, harassed, killed, in so many ways, boycotted kicked out of their homeland, Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam never give up. And he he avoided every kind of worldly interest

00:16:42--> 00:17:12

that any other human being a false messenger would have accepted. And people in the past this is exactly what they were after. They would take worldly things and you would see very clearly they are false messengers and false prophets, and they would have no message, nothing of content, they will basically regurgitate what they would hear before, or they would come up with their own silly nonsense. Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam came with something, they know that they cannot replicate, he had never studied with anyone before poetry or language. This is something that came through a person who was known for his honesty, and his salatu salam, and he was willing to face

00:17:12--> 00:17:56

every worldly discomfort, every attack in order to spread the message of God. Number four, they were also not unaware of the language of poetry as well as the words and phrases of people of magic. May Allah protect us all. So apart from the stubborn disbelievers no one could say that the language of the Quran was the language of poetry or sorcery. So anybody who studies Arabic poetry knows that this is clearly not Arabic poetry. And so this is something that they knew and they admitted, and this is found in many other stories that we've mentioned before. Number five, this also was before their eyes, meaning they observed very clearly that nobody in the entirety of all of Arabia, was so

00:17:56--> 00:18:32

eloquent in their speech, that His word could be brought to even slightly tried to match the Quran, not to speak of equaling it's not even the greatest poets eloquence, none of them whatsoever from that time till this day, could even approach anywhere close to the heart. And they knew this and they tried and they failed. So what did they do? They started attacking physically. When they tried all nonviolent methods to stop the spread of Islam and nothing worked. They couldn't meet the challenge of the Quran. They started attacking physically, they started harassing, they started kicking out, they started killing May Allah subhanaw taala, reward the Companions who were patient

00:18:32--> 00:19:11

and accept those amongst them who are martyrs, as well as everyone after that point to this day, number six, it was not hidden from them, that the language used by the prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself was very different in its literary beauty and its merit its own standing basically from the language of the Quran. No Arabic speaking person could even till this day, after hearing the words of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the Quran claim that both emanated from the same person. So you study for example, the stylo metric analysis of the Quran, compared to the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, what do you find in one of these

00:19:11--> 00:19:51

interesting studies? I'll send you the link. Now Inshallah, to the article I wrote on this topic, one of the most important findings in this study, basically stylometric analysis, you're doing something called author discrimination, where you are attributing some text to an author or not to an author. So there was a study comparing to the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam so humble fighter, in particular, approximately 7000 Hadith to the ayat of the Quran 6236 verses. And one of the important findings was that 62% of the words from the Hadith in Bukhari are not found in the Quran. And 83% of the words of the Quran are not found in the hadith of body. So these are called

00:19:51--> 00:19:59

discriminant words found in one text and not the other. The, the researcher concluded that you cannot attribute the Quran to

00:20:00--> 00:20:37

To the person who spoke these words of Hadith to the author of the Quran, the voice of the Quran meaning Allah subhanaw taala. So he said, these are two very different authors. And it's very clear when you do even an objective study with regards to that. Now, these people as they were rejecting the truth would see sign after sign of truth and still reject it. And we see this today in the 21st century, people arguing over religion over a politics which is yes, grounded in a religious or moral worldview, people arguing over subjective matters, people arguing over you know, economics, that there are countless things people have different types of debates and discussions about the Prophet

00:20:37--> 00:21:15

Muhammad, slow ISON and came with all that they needed all the signs, all the evidences all the proofs to accept the truth. And yet some of them still do not accept it. It's not due to a lack of proofs. It's not due to a lack of evidences, it's due to arrogance and pride, egoism, personal agendas, politics, there are many other things that prevent people from accepting the truth. And we see this today, there are people today who are so blinded by their hatred of a group or a party, or they are so in love with a person or a party or a nation state that they are willing to accept what is wrong and reject what is very obviously true. We see this all the time, where people are

00:21:15--> 00:21:52

rejecting the reality, for example, that the earth is not flat. Why because for them, there are many other things that come with this, you will see the reality of some people who reject, for example, that there's corruption in politics, or that certain types of political basically movements or legal policies that are passed, are actually bad for society are filled with corruption. They're ignoring all the evidences. And so the reality is what the reality is that when we look and observe within our lives as individuals seeking knowledge and almost pleasure and society at large, we have to remind ourselves that it's not always about a lack of a sign or proof. It's due to a lack of

00:21:52--> 00:22:30

sincerity, and a corruption of the heart that prevents a person from accepting the truth. May Allah Subhana Allah protect us all. And our brothers and sisters, I don't want you to think that this is basically directed at only non Muslims because we are talking about Kodesh. The reminder here is for us as well, that when your brother and your sister when anybody advises you, when you see something that is true, in general, make sure that you are not preventing yourself from accessing that clear proof that clear sign of Allah subhanaw taala that clear evidence that would perhaps transform your life here they prevented themselves from accessing an evidence that was crystal clear, and they lost

00:22:30--> 00:22:42

out on the hereafter on an eternal life in Jannah. And so we have to be cautious with regards to who we are in terms of our development as well. They Allah subhanaw taala accept from all of us and forgive us for shortcomings along with me.

00:22:43--> 00:23:22

Now, the seventh point is that the people of Mecca had never heard, even until the day right before Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam made the claim to prophethood until that very first day, they never heard anything relating to the themes that the Quran consisted of, nor did they know about any means whatsoever of where this knowledge and information is coming from. knowledge from above, obviously, knowledge that is transcending anything of this world, obviously, knowledge about the future knowledge about the past correcting, those who change the original message of profit reside Islam, Jesus and Musa alayhis salam Moses, changing those religions, the Quran corrected what

00:23:22--> 00:23:56

human beings have corrupted, changed and lost as well. The Quran clarified certain things that were not known the Quran came with stories, Allah told the prophets I send them and the people at the time of the Prophet alayhi salatu salam have stories of certain people of the past in detail stories that they had hints about or orally were passed on, but had been lost in terms of the correctness of the story, the accuracy of the story, for example, the people of the cave, for example, the story of Musa and other, for example, many other stories when ALLAH SubhanA describes them in detail the story of use of Allah His Salaam in detail as one of the most profound stories to study in MRI in

00:23:56--> 00:24:34

general in the world, you find that Allah subhanaw taala gave the Prophet SAW Isola this knowledge and information from above, for him to convey to people and they would know these people that this is not something anyone could possibly have access to. This is aside from the fact that the language itself is otherworldly and they cannot match the language. So even if the opponents of Islam tried to claim that the Quran that prophesize and found this information somewhere else, people in Mecca were not willing to believe that why? Because they knew that these were not things people knew about Allah subhanaw taala elucidating His names and attributes in such detail descriptions of a rule and

00:24:34--> 00:24:59

the grave elbows of life after death, where we are headed details in terms of the laws and the rulings that came down the universal moral laws, the objective morality for all of mankind. The Quran is timeless for all people all places all times. They knew that he could not come up with something like this. They could not claim that this came from a human being or from the profit slice and them except that they realized as soon as they started the claim that this was ridiculous.

00:25:00--> 00:25:32

and they will be refuted by people rejected for their foolishness, and then they will try to jump to a new claim. So every time a claim is mentioned in the Quran, for example, that they would mention it, they would jump to a new claim. So they claim maybe he's crazy. Maybe he's sorcerer, maybe he's a poet. Maybe somebody else wrote it. Maybe he wrote it. So they really couldn't figure out the truth. Why? Because they were ignoring the obvious truth, the same way that some people today, when they talk about the origins of the universe, they're saying, Well, I don't they're saying they don't want to accept what is obvious that God created us and created this world and the physical laws of

00:25:32--> 00:26:09

this world. So what are they doing instead, they are coming up with far fetched speculative lifestyles, and when we say speculative, we are saying they are believing blindly, and things that have no basis and cannot be proven, and they are not observable as well. And this is the reality of many people today in terms of how they are trying to evade the truth. What are we doing spiritually as Muslims when it comes to accepting what we are doing, accepting responsibility for our sins, and repenting and moving on, changing who we are by recognizing that something needs to be changed, not making ourselves out to be victims by blaming everyone else for the reason that basically that we

00:26:09--> 00:26:45

are not progressing? I am not a better Muslim because of parents society, about friend about this or ban that, you know, you take responsibility for your actions and accept who you are in terms of what you've done, so that you can make progress. Now moving forward, who you are, is not defined by one sin. But if you continue to stick to that sin and starts to define what you will become and where you end up in the next life, may Allah protect us all. So we have a handler, so many opportunities, so many blessings, and we need to support one another in growing and overcoming these challenges. Every single person in this room everyone has a struggle, everyone has a hardship. Everyone who is

00:26:45--> 00:27:22

attending this class right now is going through some kind of struggle, whether it is something of a sinfulness or May Allah protect us all or it might be something that is a shortcoming when it comes to a bear that or it may be even dealing with a hardship that someone is trying to overcome as well. So as we are observing our lifestyles and realizing that we have struggles, we look to other people and we are sympathetic, we are empathetic, we are gentle, wise kind strategic in how we help them to overcome their shortcoming, but we don't make excuses when it comes to falsehood. We don't care we don't make excuses or sugarcoat the truth. May Allah subhanaw taala protect us. May Allah subhana

00:27:22--> 00:28:02

make us people who advise one another honestly, sincerely for his sake in the best manner possible along with me. And the last point here number eight, these people of Kadesh, they could see very clearly the beautiful otherworldly workshop of existence from the earth to the heavens, which was functioning before their eyes, everything around them, and they could see very clearly a supreme wise law, and all pervading order and system at work. In it, they could see for example, no sign, no sign whatsoever of any type of polytheism any type of denial of the author, which some of the Arabs had adopted as their athlete as their creed. But rather, there were signs and proofs of the

00:28:02--> 00:28:39

existence of one God the Creator Subhana wa Tada and of the truth of the afterlife, which the Quran was presenting to them the afterlife, beginning with what's in the Surah and have mental health on a document help so they could see what was very obvious and other people could not see it. Allah subhanaw taala alone is the Creator. Allah Subhana Allah the maintainer, Allah subhanaw taala is the master Allah subhanho Is the sustainer and all others are his creation and his creatures. There is no deity true deity worthy of worship except Allah alone. And they realized and see very clearly resurrection inevitably has to take place. departure from this world is inevitable, we will all

00:28:39--> 00:29:15

depart let us insha Allah agreed to meet in a better place. Let us inshallah look forward to meeting in a greater place. Let us look forward to reuniting with Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam the highest levels of agenda they could see very clearly the Prophet Muhammad Ali salatu salam was the prophet chosen, the final messenger chosen amongst mankind to deliver the message of Allah subhanahu wa Tada. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to allow us to see the truth as truth and to follow it and to see the falsehood as falsehood and to stay away from it alone. I mean, I want to share with you a link here in the chat. I do urge you to read this if you have not yet. This is about Joseph Quran.

00:29:15--> 00:29:48

There are two parts right now you can read both of them in sha Allah, it's important for us to have a foundation here and this is relevant to what we just discussed at the end of Surah would happen. Now there are many things that are mentioned that you will see when you read the article in sha Allah. The first I mentioned before the differences between the words of the Prophet sallallaahu Salam and the speech of the Quran, the speech of Allah subhanaw taala number two, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had no control over revelation. I want you to imagine a scenario in which for example, a non Muslim asks you whether you're at work or school or online or a family

00:29:48--> 00:29:59

member they asked you for they ask you a question about Islam. And you say, Tomorrow I'll get you the response inshallah and everybody else is waiting to see your response. Imagine hundreds of people just wait

00:30:00--> 00:30:29

Reading, what will you respond with tomorrow? So a non Muslim asks you, for example, how do you know Prophet Muhammad Seisen was the final prophet. And you're gonna go online, you're gonna read the article proofs of Prophethood the series, and you're going to respond. I want you to imagine as everyone is waiting for you the next day, that you come the next day and you say, I don't have a response. And they say, that's weird. And the next day you have no response. And the day after that, no response the day after that no response, and you start to feel anxious. Well, where's the article? Someone told me they're going to email me the article. I don't have the article yet. This

00:30:29--> 00:31:03

is a small analogy. The Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was asked some questions to prove he was from God, a messenger of God. So the Jews had mentioned to the people of courage to ask some questions as well. These were questions that later were revealed in sort of recap. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Tomorrow I will give you the answer. And he did not say insha Allah. And Allah subhanaw taala did not give him the revelation right away, to remind him to say insha Allah to remind us to say insha Allah and to show the non Muslims as well of coloration today that the Quran was not in, basically controlled by the Prophet SAW Selim. No, he was being

00:31:03--> 00:31:35

controlled by what Allah subhanaw taala dictated meaning what you are not in control of this revelation. And this is a reminder that he is conveying the Quran, that he is not the author of the Quran, he's the conveyor of the Quran, so that those who are adults no longer had doubts. And in fact, this is the interesting paradox that he was not giving them a response, he was not able to, and he felt very anxious, when is it going to be revealed? When is it going to be revealed? These people are waiting for a response, how am I going to look in front of the people, we might think this is such an awkward position to be in a difficult position rather to be in. And yet this was a

00:31:35--> 00:31:55

reminder for the Prophet sallallahu Sallam for us and for the non Muslims then and today as well. He was not in control of Revelation. So eventually later on the revelation came down while at Akula, Nany che in Neva and on the Nico hada do not say I'm going to do such and such tomorrow without also saying what in a

00:31:56--> 00:32:30

law except that you also say insha Allah by Allah as well. I'm going to do so tomorrow in sha Allah if Allah was for more permitted me to do so. And if you forget what Quran Becca adenosine, then remember Allah Subhana Allah mentioned it later as well if you forgot, so there is a reminder here that the prophets why Selim does not control the revelation. This is not from any human being. Number three, there's a separation between the emotional experience of Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam and the speech of the Quran. The voices are very distinct. Think about all that he went through adding his salon to a setup the hardships his wife Khadija passing away his uncle passing

00:32:30--> 00:33:04

away his family members passing away his followers being abused the incident outpour if the boycott of the Prophet size in the Sahaba be kicking out to the banishment from his own homeland, the immigration to Medina everything that they experience, you will read the Quran you see as though these are two distinct things happening at the same time. The voice of the Quran meaning Allah subhanaw taala speech and then you see the emotional experiences of the human being Prophet Muhammad Ali sloth was salam. Number four you see the Quran rebuking Prophet Muhammad wa salam Allah's rebuking him. What does this mean? Sometimes he is correcting the Prophet alayhi salatu salam, for

00:33:04--> 00:33:41

example, Abba Tawana, and Arma the story of the blind man who came to the Prophet sallahu wa salam you can read more about this in the article number five, there are limited references to Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam in Lachlan, his name is mentioned Ali slotless Anam five times one of which is met four times Muhammad So otherwise, whereas other prophets like Musashi, Sam mentioned 136 times that he saw this, dozens of times many other prophets as well. And the integrity of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is that he conveyed even when it was something condemning him even when it was something that put him in a difficult position. But most importantly, brothers and

00:33:41--> 00:34:13

sisters, what you need to know with this topic, when a non Muslim asks Why do you believe in Islam? How do you know the Quran is from Allah subhanaw taala. It's not only about the process of elimination, showing very clearly, very obviously to anyone who's humble, sincere, anyone with reason that when you see the life of the prophet slice, and I'm the one who is convenient, you know that it cannot be from any human being. And if somebody claims that it's from a human being, that's very problematic, because it contradicts what you know about the character of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, even some non Muslim academics have stated, you cannot claim that He's an

00:34:13--> 00:34:49

imposter. This is a person of utmost integrity. And you read this in the article in JAMA. But it's not only about the process of elimination. So when people are asking how do you know the Quran is from God, sometimes atheist or Christians or others, sometimes it seems as though they think that Muslims have only blind faith in the Quran that we didn't actually see very clearly why the Quran is the speech of God. And this is not true. And in fact, this is why we encourage you all to study to at least read this one article to read the article that came before inshallah why. So we can have a foundation as well so that our foundation is so strong, that all the other secondary matters, if a

00:34:49--> 00:35:00

doubt ever comes up, it's easy to take care of, but when the foundation is not there, it becomes very risky. So when we look at Joseph Quran, we don't need to do a process of elimination as well that it cannot come

00:35:00--> 00:35:35

From a human being, because the prophets bison was a and b, and c, and d, and all of this, these are all true, these are very positive arguments as well. But most importantly, as you'll see in the article, as well, most importantly is that the Quran is miraculous and proves itself, or Jazel. Quran clearly proves this cannot be from any human beings. What does that mean? When you look at the miraculous facets of the Quran, you look at its literary miracle, it's in imitable you cannot imitate it, nobody has met the challenge or can meet the challenge that speaks volumes on its own. So you do not need to go through human being say which which one do we eliminate? And why you have a

00:35:35--> 00:36:07

very positive argument here? And also what's the undiscovered knowledge that was found of the natural world in the Quran, for example, the detailed description of the development of the embryo This is mentioned the Quran, or the predictions in the Quran, the prophecy is knowledge of the future, no human being could have done that. So you don't need to start eliminating human beings and saying, who was it? And how do you prove that it's not the Prophet Mohammed Salah. So clearly, it cannot be a human being if the knowledge was of the future, the prediction about the Romans are gonna have the conquest of Mecca, or that people would all enter into Islam and Nasir, for example,

00:36:07--> 00:36:42

the spread of Islam, the preservation of the Quran, all of this from the early revelation fulfilled in 23 years. Also what you have lost knowledge of the past, correcting the Old Testament correcting the New Testament correcting the people who used to follow Prophet recites, and the original Muslims that basically were overtaken by Christianity, the religion of Paul and others, and they lost the original messages of God, the original message from Allah subhanaw taala, They corrupted these messages. So there's truth mixed with falsehood, and now you cannot distinguish them, but they were not meant to be preserved. The Quran was meant to be preserved by a lot for all of mankind until the

00:36:42--> 00:37:17

end of times, you have also what the sleepers of the cave the correct historical usage of Pharaoh and Pharaoh versus Melek King, you have other corrections, you have universal morality, maxims in the Quran that cannot change timeless Quran in terms of what time and place, you look all around the world, the 2 billion Muslims that we have, there's only one Quran. We're not talking here about translations. There's only one Quran. You look at the Bible and those of you who know and you've studied this, there is not one Bible, there are many Bibles. And there are many changes that were made from the second century and before that, as well, of course, with the abrogation of

00:37:17--> 00:37:54

Christianity, the abrogation of the Old Testament by Paul and others. Clearly, this is not a religion that is established upon the speech of God. And this is something many Christian academics have admitted and many have left Christianity towards Islam. Upon studying and comparing the two texts, the Quran, the miraculous facets, can all be considered every single category to prove Joseph Quran. And it's not necessary for anyone on this during this lecture, or anybody who studies the topic, it's not necessary to see 10 or 15 proofs to see one proof suffices. If you're a reasonable person, you only really takes when you're sincere, to see that one of these claims of virgins speaks

00:37:54--> 00:38:33

for itself and stands for itself does not require us really to investigate 10 or 15, although they are all available, and a justified rational belief does not necessitate again, that everything needs to be examined or argued or debated for any number of proofs would suffice. And we had Subhanallah one time, a young man who basically had had familiarity with the Quran, he mentioned that he struggled with faith and that he left and we asked why and it turned out to be because of a relationship. And he was finally willing to talk. And so I open up the topic of the original Quran. Why because in particular, this person had experienced with the Quran had memorized much of it, if

00:38:33--> 00:39:04

not all of it, so he could understand what we were referring to when we referenced the Quran. When I mentioned him a few categories, suddenly, suddenly, like we stopped, and he was asked like, Listen, do you really need to hear the rest of the list? So one of the other machete bases and you really need to hear everything else? Like isn't it enough for you to realize that three or four of these since you agree that there's no way a human being could have come up with this? Are these not enough for you? And the rest of them you might not fully understand now? Or maybe you'll study them later. But in terms of your methodology, your reasoning, is this not enough for you? Do you need more

00:39:04--> 00:39:38

proofs from Allah you already read the Quran many times, and the next day he really embraced Islam Subhanallah he ended up going to start to finish it for the first time in three years. The Quran in terms of its jazz, cannot be imitated by human beings cannot be copied by people. And this is something many, even non Muslim academics have stated when they would study the Quran and say, This is not something that anything else in the Arabic language can be compared with nothing else can come close to it. So the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam when you look at his life, 23 years the Quran is coming down brothers and sisters in so many places in front of audiences

00:39:38--> 00:39:59

immediate revelations at times from God nearly send them to the Prophet size. And then when they would ask him a question, why is Luna Kahan when they asked you about coal respond with the following? So he cannot, for example, filter it out? I want you to imagine right now, as I give this example many times before, if one of you right now were to unmute yourselves, and to begin basically presenting to us

00:40:00--> 00:40:39

For a one minute lecture reminder about a topic you did not know about in advance, right? For example, if I asked one of you right now, can you give us a one minute or two minute powerful breakdown of the field of inheritance, right, or the fear of death, or when it comes to Islam and belief in preserving the environment, in one or two minutes, what you present, it might be good, it might be strong for that one minute for the two minutes for not having any preparation at all. And in fact, that's what we say sometimes. Wow. For someone who had no time to prepare, that was great. That's what we say sometimes. Now, what happens if you compare that to what a research essay that

00:40:39--> 00:41:13

you have one month to prepare? You're going to research and if you know what you're doing, you're going to research properly. Accuracy is going to be the efficiency, the methodology, the persuasiveness the logic, you're going to worry your claims, you're going to cite things what else you're going to edit. You're going to proofread, you want to revise, you can ask as many people as you want to revise it as well. The Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam was given the Quran at times in a way in which he had to respond to them. So debri Aslan would respond with the idea with the knowledge that they were asking about, so there is no opportunity to proofread to Edit to

00:41:13--> 00:41:49

change. This is an immediate revelation at times in front of the companions in front of non Muslims in many different places and times in Mecca and Medina and in between. So the point is what the point and in between meaning like in different places. The point is that there is no option here in terms of everything we know of human experiences and the literary masterpieces that humans have at their levels. There is no opportunity here to proofread to revise. And this is coming from someone who had no knowledge of Bulava. No, no knowledge of poetry or rhetoric whatsoever. And the Quran is coming down and it's not coming down. Chronologically meaning from Surah Fatiha to suit in us, I add

00:41:49--> 00:42:22

are coming down in different sewer and the Prophet is being told where to place an eye on and then you read surah baqarah. Today, what do you find it flows, the sound flows the meanings flow, the stories flow, and there's a there's a Tafseer and a study for the link between the previous passage and the next passage. Why this is here and why this is there. And yet think about this. This came down over the course of 23 years Surah Al Baqarah took a long time more than a decade to be revealed. In fact, the last idea that was revealed was from certain baccarat seven nights one opinion Nine Nights before the Prophet sallallahu Sallam passed away. And yet when you recite it

00:42:22--> 00:42:57

today, it fits right in. Nobody can plan this in advance. Nobody can plan where this is going to happen and immediately recite it upon the people when they ask these questions. And anybody who's rational or reasonable does not claim that this is coming from any human being cannot claim that it's not. It's not even basic reason, basic intellect and that's why the people of true intellect follow the religion of Islam. May Allah subhanaw taala open our hearts to the truth and allow us to understand the basics of the origins of Quran so we can explain it and articulate it to others so they can be strong in their foundation as well. Furthermore, we realize Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu

00:42:57--> 00:43:33

Sallam lived amongst them for 63 years his entire life 40 years before Prophet 23 years after he has never studied with a teacher, he's never studied poetry, never studied anything that they themselves had studied those amongst the more like the elites and those amongst them who had the opportunities to study and nor was he ever seen shadowing or learning from somebody anything at all that resembles any kind of speech from the Quran. This is not something that was ever found or seen anywhere in Arabia or anywhere in the world. It just literally it came out of nowhere. It came out of nowhere 10 Zero Mirabella I mean, so this is why many of them ended up embracing Islam and realizing the truth,

00:43:33--> 00:44:07

when they would look for ways to try to ignore the truth and excuses and they've tried to validate them eventually almost patho would respond to them or they themselves would realize this is not something we can lie about or evade. So they would embrace system may Allah subhanaw taala allow us to follow in the footsteps of them great companions and may Allah subhanaw taala accept from all of us, Aloma Amin, verse 44. Inshallah, what else have a wall arena about one of our we this is a reminder that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is a messenger, Allah says, had the messenger made up something in our name and the name of Allah had the messenger made up verses of the Quran, a

00:44:07--> 00:44:41

husband, I mean, who really I mean, we would have certainly seen him by his right hand meaning in the Arabic language, we would have taken him with a very strong taking sumela Katana minuet, in this is one of the most explicit threats in the Quran against the Prophet sallallahu Sallam meaning against the prophets if he had done this, but he of course would never do this. And watin Even IBISWorld the Allah one who said he said it refers to the artery of the heart. He mentioned the vein that is attached to the heart. So some of the scholars translated this as then severe his aorta. So the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, as we mentioned before, does not have control over revelation

00:44:41--> 00:44:59

has to convey the Quran exactly as it's revealed when he is told to convey it, and also cannot change the revelation or hide the revelation. This is a reminder to the people who have courage those who are still rejecting the truth. When they heard this they were shocked that if the Prophet sallallahu Sallam made up something or changed any

00:45:00--> 00:45:30

saying that Allah subhanaw taala threatened that he would punish the Prophet sighs and but of course, he chose the Prophet alayhi salatu salam because he would never do that. This is to remind people and the point is what the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam has no authority is not in a position to make any change when it comes to Revelation. Otherwise he would be punished. And there's a reminder here that the one who basically forges the one who lies the one who deceives there is a punishment for them as well. So Allah subhanaw taala said firmer mean common hygiene and hygiene. None of you could have shielded him from us or shielded. Basically, the Prophet SAW Selim if we

00:45:30--> 00:46:07

wanted to punish him. If Allah wanted to punish any human being, they would be punished. We're in a whole letter, the Kyoto little motel clean indeed, this Quran is a reminder to people who are mindful of God, who are people are mindful of God, are they the people who in the 21st century, want the benefits of worshiping God only by saying, We believe in a higher power, we believe in a spiritual being, we believe in something greater, but we don't want to follow the rules of the Creator. These are people who want the spiritual benefits but don't want to be religious. And this is a movement today. And the very sad thing about it is that it is not a logical, rational movement.

00:46:07--> 00:46:44

It's self contradicting, what is it that you believe in? Where is this power coming from? What is your purpose in this world, in fact, it's very arbitrary. And there's a of course a level of arrogance behind it. So the one who is truly mindful of God, they will realize that the Quran is a nourishment for the heart, the Quran helps you to grow and develop. So there is no such thing as complete self development for the Islamic perspective as a human being without the Quran. Again, there is no complete notion of self development or personal development without taking into consideration the Quran. As a part of that, as a central part of that we're in now who letters

00:46:44--> 00:47:25

cannot ultimately attend the Koran. They are demolishment The reminder is one of the memes of the Quran, one of the many names of the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala says notice these three Ayat by the way, are all similar 48 And then you have Aya 4950 51. Very similar in the the rhythm, right? What you know, Haller has solid tonal theory in it will surely be a source of regret for those who disbelieve for those who reject the truth, it meaning what their rejection of the truth, and the Quran will be a regret for them. Even God will be alone. And we said, and rarely, this rejection will be anguish for the disbelievers on the Day of Judgment, meaning what they will have regret for

00:47:25--> 00:48:05

not accepting the truth in this life. When we see something that is very obvious, and we ignore it, and then we run into the consequences. We have regrets. It's very straightforward. We're in hula Hopko, Lea clean. And indeed, this Quran is the Absolute Truth. The reality is what we have all the evidences we need to showcase to people and to know internally, that the Quran is the truth. This is something some of us have studied for many years. And I'll tell you, one of my favorite areas of interest in general in research has always been adjusted Quran. And I initially went to intuit years and years ago to basically understand it better to critique these claims. So we hear a lot of claims

00:48:05--> 00:48:41

the Quran does this, or does opponent does that. So I wanted to critique, not criticize, critique, like to study the evidence is very strong. And I went through many different categories of our jazz ended up Alhamdulillah, doing my first master's thesis on this topic, there's almost 200 pages, and it took a long time. And this was in Jordan. And basically, when I came to the conclusion of the thesis of Panama, every single thing in there was screaming of evidence and proof. And this is something that we can all study and learn and understand. But most importantly, there is no doubt regarding it, there's no suspicion or confusion, it's crystal clear. And Allah subhanaw taala that

00:48:41--> 00:49:16

just the merciful give us a message that is clear. So that the one who says well, how do I know which message is the message of God, study the Quran, Quran you will see very obviously, but if you don't want to accept a proof or a sign of God, then nothing will suffice. May Allah subhanaw taala allow us to understand and see the truth and to follow it to the people of the Quran, people of his speech along with me, and then Allah subhanaw taala says what Allah Subhanallah says for said mere Miss Miron vehicle the So glorify the Name of your Lord the Almighty, meaning Allah subhanaw taala the one who sent down this Quran have polyalkylene the truth, the Absolute Truth of certainty that

00:49:16--> 00:49:51

you will experience in this world, then glorify the Name of Allah subhanaw taala and then we say what Subhan Allah will be allowing, just as when you recite the beginning of slaughter, Allah said the highest amount of detail Allah you recite, Subhan Allah, Allah right, and we say this in the Salah, and we see this in many different times of the day and night. glorify Allah subhanaw taala frequently for some beer, this mural we can all live in the Name of your Lord, the Almighty the exalted the Most High subhanahu wa taala. The Quran is a source of guidance the Quran is a light for every darkness the Quran is a cure for every illness opponent is a psychological tool to overcome

00:49:51--> 00:49:59

every hardship in this world as the Quran gives us all that we need to understand why we are here and where we are headed so that we have no regrets tomorrow the Quran gives us tranquil

00:50:00--> 00:50:34

A tea and peace when many people around us don't have that and many people are seeking that. May Allah subhanaw taala make us from amongst the people in the Quran Hello Quran hometel Allahu wa salatu May Allah Subhana Allah make us consistent upon it. Take it upon yourself to embed the Quran into your life plan into your vision into everything you see in your home into different places of your home ayat of the Quran or calligraphy or something to remind you to recite the AI to remind you of a certain lesson, the Quran in terms of your wallpaper, the potentials of the audio, you listen to the Quran in terms of what you post on social media, the Quran in terms of how you think about

00:50:34--> 00:51:08

the world, reference the Quran, reference it to people reference it internally reference it with politics reference in general, this is the way of life and this is the truth of certainty. So many people are lost today because they see many options. And they are ignoring the pursuit of truth and a loss of heart and I wants us to know that when you experience the Quran and you're sincere, you will come to a point where you find certainty ATHLEAN and you realize this is the truth, Absolute Truth. And Allah subhana gives us all that we need so that we seek him out in this life and are rewarded for it in the next life as well. May Allah subhana wa reward us forgive us and accept from

00:51:08--> 00:51:46

all of us. Aloma, Amin, and this concludes the ending of Surah Al hardcourt in terms of the Tafseer what we say here what there's a link between the beginning and the end of the surah and also a reminder about the three swords that we covered in this 10 week series. So as for the links between the beginning of sorrows with Hong Kong, and the end of sort of the haka, facade, Mr. Miyagi caladium glorify the Name of Allah subhanaw taala, the one who decreed and have called the inevitable the Day of Resurrection, the One who created life and death, in order to test you to see what's best in their conduct, the one who gave you all that you need so that you're prepared on the

00:51:46--> 00:52:25

day of and half of the inevitable occurrence on the or during the event of Anwar Clea when it occurs as Allah mentions in the Surah as well, or so that you are protected during an aria right all of these are names of the Day of Judgment, glorify the Name of Allah, and you will be protected on the Day of Resurrection. Number two, the belief in an acceptance of the Quran will save you when the inevitable occurs, the inevitable is two types, right? There's the general inevitable the Day of Judgment, right? The resurrection when all people are resurrected. And then there's your afterlife meaning what the inevitable and the ugly meaning when you depart from this world, the Quran will

00:52:25--> 00:53:01

save you when the inevitable occurs when you depart today, tomorrow, next year, in 10 years, 20 years, 50 years, when you depart from this world, your practice of the Quran, your acceptance of the Quran, how much you connected to it will determine what ends up happening after that. May Allah subhanaw taala make us consistent in connecting with the Quran, Allah Allah ma. And the last point here is that the belief in the Quran will lead to celebration whereas rejecting it will lead to hassle of regret. May Allah subhana make us people of celebration people of the Quran, people who understand it, people who study it, people who practice it and teach it to others and enlighten the

00:53:01--> 00:53:03

world through the speech of Allah subhanho wa Taala

00:53:04--> 00:53:40

I want to remind you, as well in sha Allah, the three slaughter that we covered Surah Al Malik Surah Al phylum and salt will help on some of the general reminders that kind of give us the final thread year. So let's we'll make something that sort of that we should recite every night right or everyday at least once swore automatic. May Allah Subhana Allah make us all consistent. Please, if you take anything from our series, I know that there were many lessons we cover and many discussions we had many people mentioned in the chat, their insights, their their answers to questions, but if there's a habit you're going to take moving forward in terms of a surah and it's a habitual. Make sure you

00:53:40--> 00:54:15

do not abandon the recitation of Surah turn workwith contemplation, recite it every day or every night. It is a protection for one's faith. It is a protection in the grave.
