welcome to JD Liu and do not argue meaning do not do dial and dial is argument basically dial is from juggler to fight and this is referring to a verbal argument. So, do not argue a halal Kitabi with the people of the book and of course with the people of the book Why would there be an argument this is any interfaith debate you could say basically about the religion. So, do not argue with the people of the Book INLA except Ben Lottie with that which meaning in the manner which is here it is sun best, meaning in the best manner, your method should be best, the arguments that you use should also be strongest best. Do not let go of your o'clock when you are discussing religion with them,
how should you discuss with them with tolerance in a civil way, with well wishing in law except a Latina, Latina woman home, those who commit injustice among them, meaning those who do learn when they're discussing when they are arguing with you when they are having a debate with you over any religious matter. And if they start doing lawn, then what should you do at that point, do not continue the doodle, do not continue the discussion at that time to stop the discussion. Because we're either heartbroken we'll jump on a call Salama,
because sometimes an argument or discussion or debate, it can be very helpful, it can be very productive. But there are other times when both parties become stubborn. Or, for instance, the debate itself is not balanced. It's not fair. There's bias over there. Right. So in this situation, what should you do? Should you continue on? No, don't continue to stop there is no need to, you know, keep arguing over there because they're going to keep bombarding you with something or the other. And they're not willing to listen. So when they're not willing to listen, you don't have to put yourself in a situation where you are being abused, or your religion is being abused. So in that
situation, stop. Likewise, if the other party becomes very rude in the manner that they're speaking, they become very inappropriate. Then just stop over there. No need to argue there. What Atha delusional Kitabi lability here is an L Alladhina. Bala mu. Minho. Also this means another interpretation of L Alladhina. Lola woman whom is that if the dialogue turns into LOL, if the discussion turns into little meaning, the other party, the unknown Kitab they're becoming violent in their response, then you're not going to say oh, okay, you hit me on my one cheek. Go ahead. Hit me on the other cheek also? No, then you're not going to say I have to hold on to allottee here accent,
I have to be very tolerant over here. I have to be very nice over here. No, then you respond with the like, meaning given the situation that you're in? Right? Whatever is necessary, then you do that respond to them in the same way.
You understand? This is like there is an argument or discussion and then people become violent than at that time. You're not going to talk everybody sit down, stay calm. You know, we're having a discussion over here. No, it's not going to be a discussion. You're going to lose your life. Perhaps think about the time of the Prophet sallallahu sallam. Some people when they came to him, they had a very proper discussion with him and others, they became very violent. So where there's violence, then you have to leave. Right? So in Alladhina, wala mu Minho.
And many times it happens that, you know, there is a discussion and there's a panel discussion, for example, and it's supposed to be well balanced. But then you see there is a Muslim, and then there is an atheist who wasn't Muslim. And then there's a Jewish person and a Christian person and another atheist. And then okay, you could argue that fine, could all these people are in the panel discussion. But then every question that has been raised is about Muslims, Islam, that is not balanced. It's not balanced. It's biased. So this is literal on their part. So in this situation, if a person says, No, I don't want to take part in this panel discussion. Are they doing something
wrong over there? No, they're not doing anything wrong over there.
We'll call you and say amen. Now. We believe Ben Liddy in that which on Zillow, Elena, has been revealed to us we're on Zita la calm and that which has been revealed to you, meaning we believe in the Quran we believe in the Torah Allah revealed, we believe in the Injeel that Allah has revealed
what Isla Hoonah and our gardening the one whom we worship where Allah will come and your God, the God that you worship is why one, we believe in the same God when a hula hoop Muslim moon, and we are Muslims to him, meaning we have submitted to him so there is no need to argue
Now, this idea, what is this teaching us? religious debates, religious discussions, do they happen? Do they happen inside the house?
In the living room here, where one person is saying, I want to wear the hijab and the other saying, No, you shouldn't wear their hijab,
where one person is saying, I have to wear their hijab, in this gathering that I'm going to, and the other is saying that no, you should not wear the hijab in the gathering that you're going to
do these arguments happen at home.
It starts with a very small discussion, and then it turns into a battle seriously,
doesn't it?
It's so sad, anytime religious issues come up in a conversation, that conversation doesn't remain a conversation anymore, it turns into a debate it turns into an argument. So sad. So, Allah subhanaw taala is giving us a very, very important instruction over here that whether this debate discussion is in the family or it is with coworkers, it is with Muslims or it is with non Muslims. These are guidelines that you must follow what are the guidelines first of all bility here ACEN in a good manner.
Good manner, don't let go of your clock. Even when you are discussing religious matters, because for some reason when the matter of niqab a job, you know, Quran salah, this dad comes, we get so emotional.
And when I got this is my jihad, you know, got so emotional over there angry. You don't need to be angry over there, chill, relax, calm down, have a proper discussion, explain your viewpoint, explain your, you know, standing, whatever it is that you believe in your reasoning for doing what you're doing. Explain
bility arson.
And remember that bility accent, it doesn't just refer to the manner and the style in which you speak. But even the content, the content should be accent, the words that you're using
to address your family members in this debate should be proper, the arguments that you're using should also be solid.
They should be solid, convincing bility here isin.
Secondly, another very important guideline that we're given over here is carry on with the discussion as long as it is productive.
Right? If it is not productive, if people are turning to learn that the daughter is yelling at the mother and the mother is yelling at the daughter, and then the father gets involved in the brother gets involved, and then there's literally division in the family. This is not a healthy atmosphere in the house. As soon as people become hostile. What do you have to do? Stop the discussion. Just say, I don't think we should continue with this discussion right now. Let's come back to it later. I'm sorry, I still need some time to think about it.
Do something to end the argument. Because that argument that discussion is not going to let you go anywhere. Seriously, tell me.
Can you recall any such argument that you had in your family in your living room recently? Perhaps many? What happened when you let the argument continue? Who won?
Nobody.
Nobody won, you didn't win. The other person didn't win, who was hurt.
Everyone was hurt, who got involved in it? Even your grandmother sitting in Pakistan?
Seriously, everybody gets involved in it. It's a waste of time.
It's a distraction. So stop the argument.
Thirdly, another very important guideline we're given over here is speak on common grounds
that will call to mn Nebula, the unzila Elayna. We're on Zillow la cama ilaha illa, who Kumar has won a hello Muslims don't go back to Common Ground stock on common grounds. Because the thing is that in such discussions many times what happens is that we you know, team up against each other like, I am against you, you are against me know,
discuss the issue as if it's, you know, everyone's issue. Right. And then mentioned the talk about the things that are common amongst everybody.
And also, when I don't know who Muslim Oh, don't tell the other person that what you're doing you're doing because of who? Allah subhanaw taala you know, for example, many times families are not supportive of girls for instance, wearing hijab
Okay, whether it is certain type of hijab or bigger hijab or
monitor hijab wear hijab, all it sometimes it happens and in families it gets difficult.
Maybe not on an everyday thing, but for a certain occasion, maybe there's a wedding coming up and everybody's like, you don't wear that hijab, right? You better not wear hijab like that. So instead of getting upset over there getting angry over there, what do you do? You explain your viewpoint to them? Why is it that you will still wear hijab at the wedding? Why?
Tell them in a very cool way, in a very calm way. What happens is that when we get angry, then our family gets angrier.
Really, they got angrier. So stop the argument there. What can I Lika and thus unzila a Laker we have revealed to you al Kitab. Other work, we have revealed the Quran to you for Lavina. So those who attain our homeworld, Kitab, we gave them the book, you know gonna be they believe in it. Those who have been given the Book meaning the hood, and then Asara the idol kitab. And amongst them who were truly those who were given the book, meaning that truly received the book, they internalize the book, they follow the book properly. Then what happened when they saw the Quran when they came to know of the Quran, when they heard the Quran, you may know in a B, they believe in it, woman Hala E.
And amongst these are my you mean OB or those who believe in it? Meaning these remember how would I say that which is closer to you? Right? It's SHA Karim. Allah ICA is those those who are far how likely these who are near now which people were near to the Prophet sallallahu wasallam the people of Makkah. So Allah says that even for amongst these Arabs, there are those who have believed in the Quran. So basically, amongst the Al Kitab are those who believe in the Quran? And amongst the Arabs? Also, there are people who have believed in the Quran. I know Kitab Jews and Christians, People of the Book, the Arabs, who were the pagans, they were mostly Keen was there a difference between the
Kitab and the Michigan huge difference, not just religious, but cultural language in every way, so many differences between them.
But what was common among some of them, it didn't matter what their background was. When they learned the Quran, they recognized it, they believed in it.
When I had to be i attina Ill calf Iran, and none reject our verses except the disbelievers. So basically, what is being said in this ayah is that from both of these groups, that are so different, there are people who believe in the Quran, and there are many who don't believe. So all people are not the same. From the same group of people, you will come across some who are really nice, and then you will come across some who are otherwise.
Right, because generally we hold stereotypes. Well, this person from this school, from this city, from this country, this ethnicity, this religious background, oh, they're very like this, they're very like that, no, they're not all the same.
They're not all the same, you will come across some who will believe and you will come across some who will be very different. So what is the Prophet sallallahu Sallam being taught in this ayah at keep conveying the message, keep conveying the message, regardless of who those people are, what their background is, don't care about that.
And this is the beauty of Islam that you will find, you know, for example, in Medina, it was such a diverse community, really, such a diverse community. There were Sahaba who were from Makkah, there was a haba who are from Yemen, there was a hobble who were from Persia, right? Different backgrounds, what was common in them, what was common in them, their Islam, right.
Because sometimes what happens is that when you are doing some Dawa work you you get this module like this community, no hope.
This locality, no hope no, there is always hope. Even if one person will believe even if one person will accept even if one person can find the Quran. It is worth it.
It is worth it. Wilma, Kunta and you were not that loo you will recite Min cobbly He from before it min keytab. In any book, you did not recite before it any scripture. Meaning before this Quran came to you. Well, Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, you didn't receive any scripture? Did he recite the Torah the injeel? No, he didn't. The prophets on a lot of sound was unlettered.
He was not well read at all, while at the hotel who nor did you inscribe it via Munich with your right hand, the hot glue from haka hopper. And Hopper literally means to, to draw lines to put marks
to draw, and then from this hot is also used for writing. Because when you're writing, what are you doing?
What are you doing? Essentially?
You're putting marks doesn't mean you're drawing lines,
which is why many times you'll find children, you know, they've got a pen or something, and they're scribbling. What are you doing? I'm writing.
Right? See my name, and it's just a bunch of scribbles. So, this is what writing is about. So while the whole to be a meaning, nor did you write with your right hand,
does this mean that writing with the left hand is not possible? It is possible, then why is it said you didn't write with your right hand? What does it mean it this is basically emphasizing, it's like when you say, I saw with my own eyes, what do you ever see with eyes of other people? You don't. It's just emphasizing I really saw. So while at the hotel BIA meaning, meaning you never ever wrote anything. You never expressed yourself in writing. Never. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam never read never wrote
before he received prophethood. And of course, after he received profited also he didn't write. He didn't read. So much so that at the Treaty of her they via, he didn't know where exactly, Rasool was right. And I either below or knew how to point it out to him and then he erased it with his and he couldn't read. He couldn't tell between RA and C. He couldn't. He couldn't identify Ra. He couldn't identify these letters. He couldn't read. He then then Lauterbur meaning if you did ever write read before, then what would happen, Lauterbur? Surely he would have doubted, from raw Yabba right, Al mobile pollun, those who follow battle, the falsifies meaning those who reject you, they would have
doubted meaning they would have doubted that you are really a prophet, they would have said that, oh look, Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam used to read before he used to write before. So he just, you know, made this Quran up. And that is not the case. So basically, what we're being taught in this ayah is that the Quran is truly a miracle. It is truly Allah's word. Because it was given to it was delivered through a prophet
as Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam who was on lettered?
I don't know about you, but when I read this, I feel so empowered. It's so it gives you so much confidence.
Because sometimes what happens is that people look down on you. And I go look at your age, oh, look at your background.
Alright, you don't have that degree or that degree or that degree. You don't even know about this, or this or this. You know what the Quran is for everybody. It's for people who are highly educated, and it's also for people who haven't been to school at all.
It's for people who can read many, many words in a second. And it's also for people who cannot read a single word, the Quran is for
everybody. If Allah chose and unlettered prophet for his book, then why should we ever ever look down on somebody?
Just because they don't have a worldly degree? Who are we to think like that? And you see, Allah subhanaw taala could have chosen
someone to be a prophet, someone who was knowledgeable in worldly terms, someone who was able to read and write. But Why did Allah subhanaw taala choose? A Nabil Omi? What was the reason? Amongst many reasons. One is that he was pure.
He was pure. Because when you are taught when you are trained by anybody that actually affects your thinking, doesn't it? Like for example, so many of us when we keep reading about feminism perspective, and the Marxist perspective and the you know, so and so perspective and what happens everything when you look at it, you're like, Oh, you start analyzing it in that way,
isn't it? It affects your it shapes your thinking.
So the prophets have a lot of Salaam, his mind. What was it pure? It was pure, unaffected by man, you understand? It was unaffected.
And this is why the Prophet salallahu Salem's mind his heart was the most perfect container for the Quran. The most perfect vehicle for
For the delivery of the Quran, either lo Tarble mobile saloon Bal Hua rather it is the Quran is AI atom by Hina it is distinct versus clear versus few so doodle Adina otolaryngol in the chests of those who have been given knowledge, it is Bell Hua it now this is been understood in two ways. One is that bell Hua rather it is, it is referring to the prophets on a lot of time being on me not being able to read not being able to write basically signs of His prophet hood. Okay, these are I had to begin at clear signs that are were few sudo realtyna Otter L in the hearts of those who have been given knowledge amongst To the People of the Book, meaning they're well known, the signs are
well known to the knowledgeable amongst the Al Kitab. And this is why Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran yardie funa, who come at you already funa Obinna home, they recognize him as well as they recognize their own sons. Because they recognize the signs. They just knew it when they saw the prophets on the last time he was not a liar. He was not a false prophet. Then another interpretation of this is that bell Hua rather it is meaning what you have received from Allah this Kitab this Quran, it is I had to begin at distinct verses, clear verses that are preserved few saluted Latina o to the realm within the hearts of those who have been given knowledge. The Quran is preserved in the
hearts of those who have knowledge. It is not preserved in their books, the knowledgeable have the Quran preserved in their hearts, the verses are distinct and clear. In their southern
because they have internalized the ayat of the Quran, they have taken them in so the Quran is settled deeply in their hearts. The Quran has become a part of them, you understand? Meaning it's not just something that they write in the take beautiful notes with and they study it and memorize it and then forgotten No, it's a part of them.
So even if it's not written with them, even if they cannot write this still have the Quran with them. Bell who is torn by Hina check yourself, Am I amongst such a Latina author in this is the sign of a knowledgeable person who is truly knowledgeable near Allah, the One who has Quran here
in his heart,
not just the one who has put it on in his hand.
Even if you have Quran in your hand, it's excellent. But then you're dependent on an external copy of the Quran.
You understand you're dependent on reading and writing the Quran.
The true carrier of the Quran is one who has taken the Quran in his heart, then he doesn't need to read. He doesn't need to write. He doesn't need to have the skills of reading and writing in order to have the Quran as a part of his life.
We think we're so you know, knowledgeable just because we can read. Yeah, I can open the Quran from anywhere and I can read Yeah, that is good. But then you're dependent on a copy of the Quran for recitation.
Bell Hua i atom by Hina tone feel so do realtyna Alto. Go ahead.
Sure, given Damien
when he was in jail, and he wasn't allowed to have paper and pens or whatever, and he made like such amazing discoveries or like so basically he was imprisoned, and in the last imprisonment, even paper was taken away from him.
This is a man who has read and written all his life. And now he was jailed and there was not a single piece of paper or pen nothing with him. You couldn't read anything. He couldn't write anything. So what is it that he spent his time doing? reciting the Quran and it is said that he recited the Quran at times at times and this is not just reciting like Okay, today, right now it's going to be Quran reading marathons I'm just going to recite like five Joe's. No, it was reciting with contemplation,
reading, reviewing, reflecting on the if so then Quran is really a companion. So Bella I attend the unit and feel saluted Ladino to learn. Think about it. Why does Allah subhanaw taala call such
People Alladhina auto oil, people have been given knowledge, because true knowledge is that which is with you, that which you can implement True Knowledge is that which you can recall, which you can apply.
You understand if there is a doctor that you go to, and he's, you know, checking your blood pressure and the needs is like, Okay, I'm not sure if this is good range, let me just check my book.
And he checks his book, would you trust that doctor?
That if you cannot even remember, if you cannot even recall what's a healthy range when it comes to blood pressure, I'm sorry, I cannot trust you.
Who's the real doctor, the one who's got medicine and knowledge related to medicine were
in his iPad
head
in here. So the true carrier of the Quran is one who's got the Quran where in the southern
Salam aleikum, there is sister she ended up in jail. Now she's out. So she there is a scholar, they always call there a Friday. And they told her, you know, the dean and you know, the brain. So 20 woman, they accept Islam, in the jail, and in the jail in jelly. Once she come out, she told me that she cried every single day when she was there. Because she say, I didn't give like time to learn my Deen to explain more, that this woman who accepted Islam, and she think like far to wherever she knows. And the Wonder Friday come the ship. They know that everybody who learned the Fatiha he told it you are responsible to teach others to Fatiha the one who learned like how to make the will do
and how to prepare, like salah. You say you are responsible to teach others. Now she's out from jail. She say I wish I could know more while I was there.
So yeah, because really what you memorize that becomes, you know, a part of you. It's a constant companion, you can recall it. And when you recall it, it gives you hope and gives you motivation. If you have to keep reading a book for motivation, you know, getting to the book and then opening it and then finding the page and then reading it who's going to do all that effort.
For the past week, I had a question at the back of my head. And yesterday on the bus I was I was reading through my moustache, and I found the answer and Surah Toba and just like a random not random I have but I was reading through it and I'm like Subhanallah if I memorize this, it would have the answer would have come to me right away instead of me having to like think about it for a whole entire week.
But also, if you think about it, the fact that you understood the meaning.
Right? The meaning was memorized, right? That's why when you read the idea, it hits you. You got a message from it. So but who is Tom beginner don't feel sudo realtyna Otter each one of us should think about how much Quran do I have in my heart. And I'm not just talking about the actual memorization, not just a memorization memorization, of course, that is understood. But on top of that, beyond that also, what level of understanding do I have of the Quran in my heart when I had to be I Tina Illa volley moon and none reject our verses except the wrongdoers. Now, why is this being mentioned over a year that the Quran is in the hearts of people who have knowledge, this is a proof
that is being given for the truthfulness of the Quran. One proof that was given in the previous is the fact that the Prophet salallahu Salam was unlettered and other proof that is given over here is that the Quran is actually memorized by people who cannot even read and write.
Isn't that a miracle?
You know, there are people who if you open them must have before them and you say read it. I can't recite like that. But if you ask them, Do you know this? Surah Yeah, I know the surah and they can recite it in front of you. they've memorized it, but they can't really read.
There are children who have memorized
you know, there is this lecture vitae Castle called the is Quran, really a book of Allah, something like that recently it came out and in that one of the first things that is mentioned is the fact that the Quran is memorized by so many people. So many different backgrounds. Okay, different ages, men, women, old children, they memorize the Quran cover to cover. This is proof that the Quran is really from Allah.
This is also a proof
will call you and they say, Lola, why not only
I lay he, on Zillow, it was revealed it was sent down I lay on him I add to miracles Mirabai from his Lord. They said, How come miracles were not given to him from his Lord, like the miracle of Musa alayhis salam called say in the malaria to indeed, miracles are in the law. They're with Allah. We're in Nama and indeed only an interview on mobian I am a clear warner. They asked for miracle so that the truthfulness of Quran is proven. The Quran itself is a miracle. I want them yet for him. I want them is what and lamb not yet for him it is sufficient for them meaning is it not enough for them? Another indeed we and Zell now lako kitab. We have revealed on you the book, UTI lay him that
is recited to them is the recitation of the Quran not a miracle. The recitation of the Quran by an unlettered prophet is it not a miracle?
It's a miracle. In Nephi, there Lika indeed in that law, Ramadan, surely a mercy with a claw and a reminder, you call me you will be known for people who believe meeting the Quran, the fact that an unlettered prophet is reading it, and after so many years, there's no changes, there's no revisions and there is no forgetting and nothing like that. It's perfectly preserved. And the Quran has been revealed over a period of 23 years, there is no changing of the content. Because if you think about it, if a person is working on a project for 23 years, you think it's gonna have some change of opinions or change of thinking after some time. Certainly, you know, you meet somebody, and then you
meet them again after like 15 years. There's such a huge change in them. Right 23 years and the message of the Quran is consistent. What does that show? It's truly from Allah subhanho wa taala. And the fact that the Prophet sallallahu sallam was reciting the book, The reciting itself as approved, the recitation of the Quran is proof, because the recitation itself is mercy and reminder.
It's more mercy and reminder.
What does it mean? That the recitation of the Quran is not just reading off words? It's not just content delivery. Do you feel something when you hear the Quran?
Do you feel something when you hear the Quran? Or is it just like hearing sounds?
Do you get goosebumps? As they wake you up? Does it make you cry? Does it make you smile?
Does it make you feel like you're the happiest person in the world? It's,
well, they call and it's not just empty hollow words. No, it's a reminder. You know sometimes when you hear people singing, for instance, and if you see those words written down, what are those words?
useless. Useless words like seriously, it just sounds so beautiful when they're singing, but the actual content is meaningless. Ha hoo. Lots of you know, crying and whatever it is, you know, people laugh when they sing or when they hear music and they cry even when they hear music. But it's not a reminder the Quran has vichara but for who litho me you may known for people who believe so the stronger your Eman the stronger your love your adoration of the book of Allah. The stronger you reflect on it. Let's listen to the recitation
