then it is said, What in quantum theory women Zelner, Allah ADINA, and if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant. Now, why is this being mentioned over here? You see, the Quran is supposed to be the Book of guidance, right? In the Quran, we are being told worship your maker right worship the One who created you. While How do we know the Quran is true? And when it comes to worshiping Allah subhanaw taala. Who do we follow? We follow the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he is a perfect example for us. Well, how do we know that he was truthful? So that is mentioned in the following verses that if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our
Servant, you're unsure you're not confident about the Quran, about the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, then you have to remove this doubt, right? How are you going to remove it? That is mentioned later on in the ayah. But one thing I want you to appreciate is that the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam is described as God of Allah, and who is OGD is a slave. Right? But we don't just belong to Allah we are being invited to worship Allah. Right? So there is the rudia, of being a slave to Allah because yes, Allah owns you, whether you acknowledge that or not, you belong to Allah in Melilla, he will inoculate you, Roger, and we're going to return to Allah. Right? But then the other is that we
actively choose to serve Allah to worship Allah, we accept that he is our master. And so we dedicate ourselves to Him, we adore him, and we show that love and that respect that service by worshipping Allah subhanaw taala. And the perfect example for us in that is Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So it is said if you are in any doubt about the Quran, then what should you do? Then forget to be Surah Timmy Methley he then bring just one surah like the Quran, not the entire Quran, not 114 Surah is just one surah. Because if you doubt the Quran, then what you're saying is that this is not the word of God, this is the word of a human being. So if one human being can do it, and certainly
another human being can do it, right? Because, you know, look back at how different people invent different things. They were not the only inventors actually, you know, for example, when it comes to the invention of paper, it is said that the Wilson's inventors said that no, no, it's the Chinese way before the Muslims had invented it. And others said that no, no, it was invented in India. Any it's possible that it was actually invented in three places. The why? Because great ideas, they're not unique to just one individual, great works are not unique to you know, just some individuals. If one person can do a great thing, certainly other people can also do it because if it's possible for
one human, it should be possible for another as well. So if you doubt the truthfulness of this Quran, then you're saying that this is the word of a human being. So if one person can do it, why don't you give it a try as well? To be Surah timidly bring one sort of like the Quran, and it should be similar to the Quran. You know, it should match the Quran in its eloquence in its fine arrangement, in its coherence in its style, in its effectiveness in its truthfulness. Now, to be sold out immediately. And it's going to be hard for you to do that on your own. So what the rule Shuhada a common dunlea Call upon your witnesses besides Allah, meeting those who will oversee what
you're doing, support you and guide you in this process, meaning to ask for anyone's help anyone's help. You know, the best speakers the best people who are excellent in expression, in language, in poetry in their knowledge, you know, everyone get together and try to produce something like the Quran in quantum cytopenia if you are truthful, in entertaining doubt about the truthfulness of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam or the Quran. Now we learn in Surah Surah number 88. Allah subhanaw taala says, hola in Egypt, turmeric will ensue will Jin nu? Say that if the human beings and the jinn all gathered together are Allah yet to be mislead by the Quran that they should produce
something like the Quran? Meaning if all of the jinn all of the people were to gather together to produce something like the Quran, like tuna be mately they would not be able to produce anything like it. Well Oh, can I borrow the Hulu Baldon Mahira even if they all assisted each other they would not be able to do that. Why? Because this is
is not the word of a human, this is the word of Allah azza wa jal so in a sudden the next idea for a lambda for you, so if you are not able to do it, and the fact is that will enter for you, you will never be able to do it, you know, the Arabs who were the first recipients of the Quran, the only thing they really had to express themselves was language. Okay, it was through poetry through verbal expression. That is the only art and science that they had. All right. Why it was the art, it was their science, it was their math, it was their architecture, it was their everything. Why? Because in the desert, tell me, what other form of art can you have? What can you build with the sand?
Right? Anything that you do is going to be destroyed by another sandstorm, life is so unstable in the desert. Now, people by nature are creative. They have to express themselves in one way or another. So what the Arabs had, as their art and their science and their math and their architecture was their verbal expression. Which is why when it comes to poetry, really Arabic poetry from the time of the Prophet salallahu, alayhi, wasallam. Amazing. If you analyze it, you can see how literally, it's almost like, there's formulas over there. It's so structured, right? It's so rhythmic. And it is so expressive. So basically, at the time of the Prophet sallallahu, alayhi
wasallam, the Arabs had reached, you know, the height of their, the peak of their eloquence and verbal expression was also their most prized art. It's what they valued the most. It's what they competed in that which tribe can produce the most skilled, the most eloquent artist, right, the most skilled the most eloquent poet, and they had annual fairs in addition to hudge, other annual fairs and competitions as well, in which they would have, you know, people from different tribes come and you know, present their poetry. And the best poets would get the best rewards. They would be, you know, some of the richest people over there. And the best poetry was also written in gold. The Arabs
in general were poor, but they would write it in gold and they would hang it in the Kaaba. All right, and these are known as the more Allah caught those works of poetry or expressions of poetry that were written and hung in the Kaaba. So, you know, one of such poets, his name was libido, libido, Monrovia, and he was from Clive and his poetry had actually been hung in the car. But when he heard through through co author, how many verses is sort of ricotta, three verses, right, short verses very short in our planar calcofluor. For Sol, Lily, Rob Baker, one house in a Shani, Erica, who will be tough. That's it, when he heard it, he gave up poetry, he retired. Okay, he basically
said that I have been destroyed over here, there is nothing that I can produce that can match the beauty and the eloquence of these verses. All right, and he was 90 years old at the time and he accepted Islam.
Okay, 90 years old, and he actually lived a very long life later on at a set that one of the rulers, you know, invited him and said that, you know, please recite your poetry to us, and he just started reciting Surah Al Baqarah. All right, he said, This is what has replaced my poetry. Alright, Chateau de la marinha, had actually memorized 1000 lines of the poetry of libido, libido, Ibn Robbia. Okay. She had memorized 1000 lines of his poetry. So his poetry was not just, you know, random, or, you know, just average quality, it was well known. We also learn about Walid Ibn Mahira. He never accepted Islam, but, you know, he was also a very highly esteemed poet. And when he heard the Quran,
you know, he said that, I swear by Allah, there is none amongst you who knows poetry as well as I do. Nor can anyone compete with me. Yet the speech of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam is not similar to anything that I know. It's unlike anything that I know. It's beyond our ability. Right? So there were people who were masters of language and expression. And even some of them who did not believe in the Quran, they knew that they could never match the expression, the quality, the beauty of the Quran, and people who try to do this, okay. Like, for example, we learn about musei lemma. And we'll say lemma Kozub he tried to produce something like the Quran and he, you know, basically
try
To imitate the, you know, some of the sutras, okay? Like for example, he tried to copy sutra ideas, okay. And he also tried to copy some other sutras, again in the same style. Okay. But it came across as so absurd, like really so absurd. He made a surah about the frog. Okay? That all frog, the daughter of two frogs, you live in the water and also in land, you don't make the water cloudy and things like that any? What's the point? What are you trying to say? It may sound nice, but what's the objective over here? Right? What message are you conveying? And if the message is good, and you don't in recent years, there have been people like I was listening to a lecture and they quoted this
Christian man from Egypt who said that he will produce something like Surah Fatiha and he tried to produce something like super fighter and yes, you need the message was nice. All right. But it sounded so bland. Okay. The thing about the Quran is even if you don't know the meaning, and you just listen to the Quran, Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen and especially the recitation. All right, especially the recitation. When you hear it, it impacts your heart you know that this is not the word of a human being. So Allah subhanaw taala tells us in Surah Al Asad, verse 88, that layer tune every myth li people and Jin together cannot produce something that is like the Quran, even if they
were to help one another. So this challenge that the Quran gives, all right, that produce something like the Quran, this is mentioned in many places in the Quran, you know, in one place that is said, produce 10 sutras, or one surah here it is said something like it. But people did not even try to do that. And those who tried failed miserably, any they only humiliated themselves. So remember that the Quran is not just message, it is also a miracle. All right. And a miracle of a prophet is supposed to be such that people cannot produce anything like it. Like remember funeral when he saw the miracle of Masada, salaam, the stick turning into a snake. He got his magicians together, and
they also threw their sticks and their ropes and they turned into snakes. But what happened? The miracle of masala SNAM consumed, you know that snake ate up all of the magic that the magicians have produced. So what did the magician say over there that we believe they knew that their magic was defeated because they had produced the best that they could. And what Musa alayhis salam showed to them was far greater. So they knew that this is not within the capacity of a human being the source is something greater. And just like that the people of this language knew that the Quran cannot be the word of a human being. So it is not over here, that if you're not going to be able to do it, and
the fact is that you will never be able to do it. Then you fear the Fire for dako now, which fire allottee Wako NASA well haidara The one whose fuel are people and stones, Allahu Akbar, the fuel of this fire people and stones, what does fuel do as long as the fuel is there, the fire is going to keep burning. So if these people are in the fire forever, Allahu Akbar, this fire is going to keep burning. While he Java and stones, what stones are these incidental Ambia 98 We learn in a comb warmer tar bounnam in Dune, Allah He helps Abu Jahannam that you and that which you worship besides Allah, meaning your idols that you have crafted with your own hands that you have carved out, you
will be the fuel of Jahannam staford Allah so the ruler may say that the hedgehog or the stones which are the fuel of * are the idols that people made idols that people worship. So for Taco neuron, let me walk you through how NASA will hijacker and this fire has already been prepared or it that you see or read that your dad is to fully prepare something from before the word or that is from the same root or this you know, to count to number. So for example, if you have 10 guests coming over, you will make sure that you put up 10 plates, you put out 10 forks and spoons, 10 cups, right you have the right number of servings. So already that fully prepared little caffeine for
those who deny
what about those who believe then, this is the beauty of the Quran, the balance that where a warning is given good news is also given. So it is said Well, best she did. Let me know man
Oh, why AMILO slowly hard and give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds. Allah subhanaw taala himself is giving good news over here, but he's telling his messenger Salallahu Alaihe Salam, that you give good news to people. Okay, well, but should you give good news? Because the thing is that when we hear something like this from another human being in an intimate conversation, or someone gives us good news that uplifts us, right? Like Khadija Ile de la noir and her, you know, and the Prophet sallallahu lucidum came so distressed and frightened, basically after the first revelation, how Khadija at Longhorn had gave him good news and uplifted him, right she
said, lay your Zika Allahu Allah, Allah will never humiliate you. Right. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam also when he would visit his companions who were unwell by for example, once he visited omal Allah, she was unwell. He said of shooty of shitty, be glad, rejoice, omo ALLAH because ALLAH removes the sins of a Muslim for his illness, meaning when a Muslim is ill, their sins are removed. So the Prophet sallallahu Arneson would give good news. So rubbish she didn't Lavina Amma No, give good news to who, to those people who believe and do righteous deeds. This good news is not for everyone. There's a condition Eman and Amel Salia. They believe in their hearts, and they
perform righteous deeds with their limps, what are righteous deeds righteous deeds are deeds which are righteous in the sight of Allah, they're good and proper and correct in the sight of Allah. So give them good news. What good news that Anila hon Jannette integrity mentality and heart that they will have gardens, which are such that rivers flow beneath them. What does it mean by this, that rivers flow beneath the gardens, this is understood in a number of ways. The first interpretation is that literally rivers flow beneath the gardens, in the sense that, you know, the homes, the palaces, there will be rivers flowing beneath them, you know, like Suleiman or the salam his palace was such
that it was more like Bill Cohen, it was, you know, made with glass. And the Queen of Sheba, you know, when she came, she thought that there was water, so she lifted up her dress, so that it would not get wet. So it is said that, you know, literally the floor was made of glass, and under the glass was water, and there were fish and things like that. So literally, that Jim and Kathy hull and how there will be rivers like this in paradise, some say that what is meant by under it is any under the control of its people. And this is something that's mentioned elsewhere in the Quran as well, especially in pseudo insan that you fudgy Runa had that JIRA that they will cause the rivers to gush
forth wherever they want. So the rivers of Jannah will be under the control of the people of paradise, Allahu Akbar. So wherever they will want, you know, they will cause a river to gush forth and these rivers are not just of water. We learned in sort of Mohamed if 15 That, you know, these rivers are off milk and honey and wine and water. So these rivers are, of course, rivers of Jannah. So very different from the rivers of the world. But what does this show, you know, first of all gardens, and by the way, Jana is a garden that is hidden. Okay, why is it hidden? Of course, it's hidden from us right now. But also it is called Jana, because a garden is called Jana, when it is
lush, it is dense, it is full, because the ground is covered, right or there is some level of privacy. So the fact that they're in Jannette, in a garden, and then it's luscious. You know, there's that privacy, and then there's rivers, not just one but multiple, under the control of the people of paradise. This is freedom upon freedom upon luxury upon luxury, countrymen tactical and hard. This is the space and then call Mr. Hoosier Coleman Hammond, similar to this, look at the food that they're being given agenda. Every time that they are provided with the provision of fruit they're from, meaning every time they're given food in Jannah fruit in Jannah. What will they say?
They will say how the lady rose economic blue. This is what we were given before. Before when before as an in the world. Any this is something familiar. We've had something like this in the world. This means that the food of Jannah resembled the food of the world. Okay, well, a person might say what fun is that? The thing is more than fun. It's come from
works when you are offered food that looks different, completely different that any you wonder, is it even food, it makes you more anxious. And some of us are very hesitant in trying new foods. So the food of Jannah Yes, it's a different place that the food will be familiar. Okay, the food will be familiar, it will look familiar. But when they will eat it, it will be completely different at a different level of deliciousness and amazingness. Okay, so they will say, this is what we were given before. Another interpretation of this is that they will say, this is what we were given before, meaning in Jannah. Okay, that we've had something like it in Jannah already, which basically is
telling us is that no enjoyment of Jannah is repeated, every enjoyment of Jannah is a completely new experience. You understand? Like, for example, if you have something that's lemony, okay, and then next time you have something that is, you know, yes, it's tangy, but it's not lemon flavored, maybe it's tamarind flavored. So there is some resemblance. But you know that this flavor is new, this flavor is different. So what's the point over here, we are being told is that every experience in Ghana is a unique new experience, which will only increase in the enjoyment that the people of Ghana will have. Because, you know, there's this misconception that people have about Janna, aren't we
going to get bored? No, there is no boredom agenda. Because when do you get bored you get bored when you've tried everything when you've explored everything you get bored of eating at a restaurant when you've eaten everything on the menu many many times right? But Jenna is not like that could limit was you comin home in some neurotic this calm calm, you had a lady Rosa calm and calm blue, this is different, we had something like before but this is different, this is even more delicious. This is even better, what will to begin with a Shabbiha and it is given to them in likeness. What does it mean by that this has been interpreted in different ways that the food in Jannah will be given to
them in a form that is familiar to them, yet different. So similar in name, but different in flavor, or similar in color, but different in name, all right, or similar in appearance, but different in deliciousness in flavor, what will to begin with a Shabbiha. Again, this is so that they don't feel any hesitation and trying new foods. But at the same time the level of enjoyment will not reduce what to whom fee has larger Mahara and they will have in it as well remove the hara, spouses that are completely purified, purified, in what sense? purified and body and also purified and conduct. And both of these are important. You see, a lot of people, they have complaints about their spouses
that new and they don't shower regularly, they don't clean themselves regularly their clothes smell. And this is something that really bothers people. So in Jana, as Weijun, with the hara, any bodies completely purified, so no bad smell, no body odors, no nasty things. Some have said that this means that, of course, we learned that people in general will not even have to use the bathroom. There is no phlegm there is no spirit, there is no need to clear your throat constantly. You know, there's no need to blow the nose, nothing like that. So the body is completely clean. And then manners are also clean. And this is so important. Because somebody can be beautiful in their physical appearance. But
if you feel threatened in their presence, you feel that they're judging you. You feel like they're criticizing you. You feel like they're not happy with you. It takes joy away. So what own FIA is watching with the hara, what safety what contentment even that word am I have said that as well as remove the huddle of course, if people are not going to use the bathroom, that means women will not menstruate, right so physically, completely clean, and also in their manners in their heart in their tongues completely clean. Well homefree her Holly dune and they will abide there eternally. They will never die. There is no old age, there is no hunger, there is no illness, there is no
discomfort. There is no pain, there is no distress, Allahu Akbar, will home feed her Holly don't we learn in a hadith that death will be brought in the form of a ram in the form of an animal and it will be slaughtered. So basically, death will die. And so people of Ghana will remain in Jannah forever and people of * will remain in * forever. Allahu majorna mean us how
have an agenda. Mean May Allah make us among the people agenda. Inshallah we will conclude over here for today. Don't forget to do your homework. Even if you struggle in your Arabic writing. Let this be your chance to begin writing in Arabic and Insha Allah, you will notice that it will get easier Subhan Allah Houma will be handy.
