00:00:00--> 00:00:02

Do you want to know what

00:00:05--> 00:00:08

everybody wants to show?

00:00:10--> 00:00:35

You welcome to another episode of the deed show. We're here trying to help you understand Islam and Muslims. And today, we have a very, very important topic. We're going to be talking about the verbatim Word of God Almighty Allah. And we know that every messenger, that God Almighty sent, he sent with revelation, he sent with Scripture, just to name a few. Moses, he came with the Torah.

00:00:37--> 00:01:17

Abraham, he came with the Scripture, Jesus peace be upon him, he came with the NGO, the gospel, not the Gospels, and the last and final messengers sent to mankind the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. He came with the Qur'an, this is the verbatim Word of God. But how do we know? Because the previous scriptures, they were changed, altered, edited by men? How do we know that this book we have is indeed unchanged, on altered on edited? That is, indeed, the verbatim Word of God? We're going to be talking about the compilation how it came to, to just fall down from the heavens? How was it revealed over a span of 23 years and my next guest, Dr. Mohammed mamdouh, who is the former

00:01:17--> 00:01:25

professor from the john hopkins university. He's going to help us tackle this topic. And we come back on the show we'll be right back.

00:01:31--> 00:01:31

There's only one

00:01:33--> 00:01:35

is His Messenger.

00:01:45--> 00:01:48

Jesus was his messenger.

00:01:53--> 00:02:31

Why did that maybe, maybe it's just to break the ice. Ah, Salaam Alaikum. Peace be unto you. Dr. Salama. How are you doing? Fine. Thank God, thank God, you're good. I'm good. We're all good. I'm good. I'm very happy to hear as well. It seems like we're the I mean, look, I don't need to boast or anything. But it seems like the Muslims are the most happiest people. They're always like, Thank you asked the most How you doing? He just says, Thank God, thank God, thank God, we do that. Oh, that's amazing. Design is better than thanking God. That's it another side of the many, which is one of the godly people. And you know what, this book this area we're talking about today? Yeah, we want to

00:02:31--> 00:02:59

know how it was compiled, because this is an instruction manual, okay. That is for the whole of mankind. So many people are non Muslim audience, you know, they've heard this word. There's a lot of misconceptions. So how can we give them this assurance that this is indeed revelation, from the one who created us talk a little bit about this book, took her at the beginning stages, and we'll go from them and pick your brain. I'm just so excited Talk to us a little bit. It's very little

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

elaborate on this, because it's an important issue. And we need every human being on the earth, to know how this could all came to us, well protected, well preserved, nothing changed in it. And when you look at it, from many perspectives, one perspective, if you look at it, and if you trust God's words, when he said that in the Quran itself, indeed, I sent down the whole Quran. And indeed, I will keep it on changed. This is first of all, if we, if a person believes that this is the word of God, and he would find this word, so it absolutely would believe that it is that's a stamp. I get this is it it's certified. God is certified Absolutely. No, no, no, no brainer. Muhammad is the

00:03:46--> 00:03:49

receiver of That's it? Yeah, that's just like Jesus, Moses.

00:03:51--> 00:04:36

All of them are receivers. Gotcha. And here would really I'd like to. The other one is that I will prove it exactly as it happened. I'll explain the steps and I leave everybody to think of how authentic this issue is. We Muslims believe that step by step, there is nothing that you can find any gap that any person on earth that can prove that there is a change that happened. And in fact, Almighty Allah himself in the Quran said that, had it been from any other source except Almighty Allah, people would have plenty of discrepancies and contradictions in it. And this is not the case. There is not a single contradiction. And I'm quite sure that if any single contradiction had been

00:04:36--> 00:04:40

proved, Muslims would quit the Quran be finished.

00:04:43--> 00:04:59

Absolutely. every child, every old man or woman, every young person, everyone believes that this is from God. Not only that, still, the Quran itself made a challenge to people and it's not black, we're not blind. We have evidence the Quran itself says

00:05:00--> 00:05:23

If you can do something similar to it, go ahead and choose. So talk to us talk to us now because when we say the Quran was revealed that it just fall out of this Heaven, of course, how did this work? Of course no, tell us it didn't. It didn't fall from heaven at all. The story is, first of all, the first step I want to, I will tell you the name of the steps. First of all the Quran was with Almighty Allah in

00:05:24--> 00:05:28

something called the preserved tablets. This is a tablet,

00:05:29--> 00:06:18

a local muffle as Allah, Allah said in the Quran, belleau occur on Majeed de lo him my fourth. Indeed, it is a Glorious Quran that it is preserved in the preserved tablet, what is this preserve a tablet they give just very quick, and it's a tablet that has all the history of humanity, everything in this universe, the tablet, or will happen, it's already there. Everything's there since the creation of the pet when Allah created it, and commanded it to right, and it taught everything that will happen in this universe, until the date this is called the preservative tablet, the local buffer of the Quran was there. And it was in a place called bait Eliza bait Eliza the house of power

00:06:18--> 00:06:34

or the place of power. This is how accurate the Muslims would know, even when it was with Almighty Allah subhanaw taala. So the preserver tablets in a place called bait Eliza now that it was sent down

00:06:35--> 00:06:35

to

00:06:37--> 00:06:38

the lower heaven.

00:06:39--> 00:07:26

Yeah, as a whole. Yeah, the Quran that which tells you a message here that Almighty Allah knew very well, everything that will happen to the universe. So it came down to the lowest level of heaven, which is called as bait Eliza, this place is vitalizer. So from a low held by fools, preserved, to bait Eliza, the house of power and remain there until, yeah, and the verse that says this inner and zelner, who feel a little cut this process or this step took place in the night of power, which is actually the 27th of the month of Ramadan. The Quran came as a whole,

00:07:27--> 00:08:13

to the lowest heaven to the lowest sky, and it remained there and from there, when Muhammad peace be upon him became a messenger of Allah gibreel used to whenever gibreel commanded by Almighty Allah to take this verse, by memorization, so your brain would memorize the verse and would teach this verse to Prophet Mohammed Salah Salah. So the Quran came in installments across 23 years. Whenever an event an incident something happens. The Allah subhanaw taala commands jabril to come up with the verse or the verses that address this issue. And it was sent to Mohammed peace be upon her by the same angel is the same as

00:08:16--> 00:08:36

the same Angel and he gave the message to Moses, the same answer who gives the message to Abraham, the same message the same messenger with the same Angel Gabriel will give the message to Jesus la Salaam, okay, he is the same one same is different. And here's one one thing that a person may think of gibreel may have

00:08:37--> 00:08:44

perhaps, made a mistake. And this is when you know, the

00:08:45--> 00:09:27

whole religion. When you know that Allah created angels, who do not make mistakes, the default of an angel, he doesn't make mistakes, not like humans. We are humans we make mistakes, but angels don't do mistake. Angels don't make mistakes. We're gonna take a break, and we'll be back on the show. We'll be right back. No speech is better than to do that we'll call people to Allah enter do the word no speeches better No, nothing is better than that. Is it true that if one person and the Allah giving you the ability to guide someone, the last permission the creator's permission that is better than everything in this world, but in the whole world and everything that's in it in another

00:09:27--> 00:09:46

generation, it's better than the best of world but if we really felt that that he would, we would not be giving out giving out and this is something that we encourage all the MSA all the dowel organizations, the machines to get this we want to print more we give these to the non misses for free for free for free Warner Brothers in humanity.

00:09:50--> 00:09:59

We're back. We left off where the ark Angel Gabriel Gabriel, he is the one who is sending giving the the

00:10:00--> 00:10:29

instructions, the revelation to the Prophet Muhammad peace. Yes, absolutely. And yes, as I said that this process took 23 years, perhaps an angel would come to Mohammed Salah Salem, this day and would give would teach him some verses two or three or five lines, according to the situation, and perhaps after three months or after three days or after 20 days or after a day or so, would come with another revelation and so on. And

00:10:31--> 00:10:35

so, we guaranteed it is guaranteed that it is from Almighty Allah,

00:10:36--> 00:10:55

the message came to Djibril 100% correct. And from jabril to Muhammad peace be upon him, it's 100% correct. And from Muhammad peace be upon him, to human beings to the companions, and to the other people. 100% correct.

00:10:57--> 00:11:45

Now we are talking about those human beings, the companions of the prophets and the followers and us, how did they keep the Quran without change? Now, as I said that gibreel would come to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and teach him one or two or three or four verses from the Quran. And the way he taught him like anyone who teaches any human being, he would say the verse, Muhammad would repeat the verse, and he would review it 123 times until Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam would learn these verses. By listening by listening. Like exactly how children learn nowadays, they listen to a song they listen to a poem and they memorize it, yes, because of the repetition. So this process

00:11:46--> 00:11:58

continued with the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, until some were in the middle of the message Almighty Allah subhanho wa Taala and sit in the Quran and Mohamed Salah, Salah in

00:12:00--> 00:12:04

Gemma Hawk or an either Coronel Fatah Khurana

00:12:05--> 00:12:49

Allah He began by las panatela, saying this verse that he said, Hey, Mohammed, don't bother, we are going to guarantee that to ensure that once you listen to the verse, you are going to remember divine intervention, divine intervention. First of all, it was human effort, and the wisdom behind that it shows us how to learn the Quran, how to teach it to others, and how to memorize it by yourself. Yeah, so it's a human act to tell us how to teach each other the Quran. And this is how all the people who teach the Quran they use the same methodology that had been used by JBL with Muhammad peace be upon him. Now there's a divine intervention guaranteeing that every word Mohamed

00:12:49--> 00:12:55

Salah Selim would hear he would memorize it, it's not a human effort. It's a divine effort. Yeah.

00:12:56--> 00:12:59

What happens when Muhammad peace be upon him receives

00:13:00--> 00:13:08

few, as few verses for your lines from the Quran after he memorizes them, he would immediately

00:13:09--> 00:13:47

teach them to the companion. And this process was continuing in the life of the prophets law. So whenever he received a message, he would memorize it, and he would teach it to people and people used to do two things to memorize, by repetition by listening from the Prophet Swaziland, and the prophets Allah Salaam used to review this. And he would ask them go ahead and say it and he would correct them until they memorize it, many of the companions and he selected four people, they are called for scribes, the people who get a better way, the writers of the revelation during his time

00:13:49--> 00:13:51

in his house, not 100 years later.

00:13:53--> 00:14:15

So while he was alive, and in his house, because why I'm saying I'm stressing in his house, because there are many other people outside the US to write the Quran by themselves. Yeah, yeah, but this process is taking place. In the house of the prophets, Allah salat, and he himself was checking the authenticity of their writing. Yeah, of course, he reads an issue.

00:14:16--> 00:14:49

If the Prophet sallallahu Sallam didn't know how to read or write, can we know that Muslims know that? The prophet SAW Selim? That's confirmed undiluted? I confirm it. The last part Allah said in the Quran. Yeah. Non bias historians also confirmed it. So this is Oh, yeah, okay. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. If he knows how to write, he would attribute the Quran to himself. Yeah, never do that. Yeah, anyway, here. So the Prophet sallallahu Sallam would after he teaches those four people, and they start writing and those four people, every Muslim almost nailed them by heart.

00:14:51--> 00:14:53

It's Zaid, Edna Harris.

00:14:54--> 00:14:59

And this is a very big name famous that is from those characters. Holly

00:15:00--> 00:15:07

We call it the castle the cousin of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, ob applica and agreement in Abuja.

00:15:08--> 00:15:26

Those are the four people who used to write the Quran in the house of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, whenever their religion come through the prophets Allah Salaam he learns it. And he sends for them he calls them they come and he asked them to write. Now for people are writing not one copy, each one of them is writing his own

00:15:27--> 00:15:35

copy. Yeah. So now this, that as a dip in the heart is writing. And then Alec now Vitaly was writing, and then

00:15:38--> 00:16:17

equity magneri gel is writing. And then obably, cabbies writing, the four of them are writing at the center. Then when they finished writing the Prophet sallallahu Sallam would recite again, and we asked them to review what they have written, because the professor doesn't know how to read. So he would ask them to review what they have written. And he would recite again. And according to his recitation, they guarantee you they ensured that this matches what the profits or losses. So now you should understand that there are two processes are parallel to each other. One is the oral repetition from which a lot of people memorize the Quran. And the other time The other thing is that

00:16:17--> 00:16:18

the writing of the

00:16:19--> 00:16:29

I'd like to elaborate to tell people here the audience and the viewers that of course, the writing at that time it did it's not it's not similar to the writing that we have left.

00:16:31--> 00:16:57

And if a person knows Arabic, yeah, he would know what do you mean for example, the most of the writing of Arabic language in all the newspapers in all other countries, you will find that it's not written with the vowel system, this is the nature of Arabic Lang, you can write the word without or without develop. You know, let me give you an example. In English, if I apply this to English, yes,

00:16:58--> 00:17:45

we drop the word please. And the short time No, it is PLC. Nowadays, PLC says you're dropping the vowels. From there just keeping the consonants. This is an embedded quality of Arabic language or like bed. Yeah, absolutely. Really. Yeah, yeah, exactly. There are many examples of that. So yeah, they would understand what this is. Absolutely. So the Quran the first form of it was written like that, without vowels, yes. And even without dots, I will elaborate on this later. So the writing process was going on and on. And from time to time, Gabriel would come and review with the Prophet sallallahu sallam, the amount of the Quran that had been revealed during this period of time,

00:17:45--> 00:18:16

whether it's six months or one year, right jabril would review with the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is memorization to check that everything is correct. And to tell us also another message that we need to review this from time to time, you can memorize the whole Quran, but after some time, you will forget. So you need all the time to review and review. So this is this. Now the Quran is written, how was it written? It was written on pieces of leather,

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

leather of animal, it was written on some bones of animals like the shoulder because it speaks. And you can see many examples in the book of Islamic books of these. And also it was written on some pieces of wood, whatever material that they could write on it. Yes, they wrote on it. And of course, this was saved in the house of the Prophet, particularly in the house of Arusha, the last wife of the Prophet sallallahu, he was the the youngest wife of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam. This was kept there. You can imagine year after year, year after year, it's going to very big.

00:18:58--> 00:19:09

What was going on outside the house, this was going on inside the house of the prophets, outside the Prophet sallallahu sallam, every one would hear some verses would memorize it,

00:19:10--> 00:19:47

and would teach it to his family members or to his friends, and the profits or loss. Elon himself used to encourage Muslims to learn the Quran he said that the best among us too is the one who learns the Quran who memorizes the Quran and he teaches it to others. So it was always in the hands of the people similar to soon as it came down. It's being taught so yeah, absolutely. So people will teach it to each other. They memorize it because the reason is, they need it in their prayer. Because in our prayer, when we pray Our daily prayer, five daily prayers, we need to recite something from the clock. So they need some material, some stuff to recite, while they are doing

00:19:47--> 00:19:59

they're performing their prayers. So this process was going on and on and on. And some people some of the companions outside the house of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam also used to write the Quran.

00:20:00--> 00:20:08

they memorize it and those of them that who were not illiterate, who could read and write so they used to write before excited to just write

00:20:10--> 00:20:18

something coming from Almighty Allah. Yeah, this was going on outside. outside the house of the police, like probably right now someone's listening to rap.

00:20:19--> 00:20:20

Taking

00:20:21--> 00:21:04

lectures, people say they take notes that they were taking notes. Yeah, the people who were educated, who could write, could write and the people who didn't they used to memorize, and this after 23 years, the Quran was completed and it was in the house of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and for Virgin of the of the Quran was written. And the prophet SAW Selim reviewed all of them, you said version, just to elaborate is that some of them I think, also, you got through four different variants. No, it's the one that I wrote the one that was written by Elena Vitali, and the one that was written by obeah mcap. And the one was written by them the same, the same Quran, the same

00:21:04--> 00:21:07

teacher than the same place, and all of them kept together

00:21:08--> 00:21:57

in the house of the prophets, Allah. So this was the case when the house of the prophets on the approximate number of the people who memorized the Quran, at the time of the prophet SAW Selim, when he died, the approximate number figure was 200, memorizers, and few others. This was the known one because some people who might have memorize the Quran outside, but we didn't know them. The history did not record but but even those names, the 200 names can be mentioned to you. Yes, when you dig in the history of Islam and you find the authentic books of Islam, you will find the names of all those ones who memorize the Quran, Tinto, 200, memorizers. And four copies written and kept in the house

00:21:57--> 00:22:45

of the prophets, Allah Salah, written on leather, written on bones, written on pieces of wood and rich were kept in the house of the Prophet special, particularly in the room or in the house of Arusha of the law on the main thing now it's being it's memorized and memorized by. Yeah, we're having the written form put down so in two ways now memorized. Yes, by route memory by heart, and at the same time it's written on paper or written on documents written on leather, and other things that were used at that time. We're going to have to cut to a break and we're going to continue on here on the deen show talking about the verbatim Word of God the Quran how it was compiled here with

00:22:46--> 00:22:54

Dr. Mohammed module. We'll be right back here on today's show. From a science major, when you look at the Bible says the earth has four corners.

00:22:56--> 00:23:09

There's wrong the heavens if any Christian can point out a single unequivocal statement. A single unambiguous statement with Jesus qsp is based on who says say that I am God always worship me. I'm ready for Christianity.

00:23:13--> 00:23:25

Welcome back to the deen show. We are here talking about the compilation of the verbatim Word of God Almighty Arabic we say Allah here with Dr. Mandoo. Please continue on telling us okay,

00:23:27--> 00:23:52

this now here is the situation. I would like to review it with everybody. So everybody would be sure of what was going exactly. But let me tell you that thing that by the way, every Muslim say that we know that the four people who were writing there, by name and by history and by by biography, you would find in any variation that they were five people or six people, every Muslim knows that they were four people.

00:23:53--> 00:23:58

I mentioned their name many time and here is the situation. The Quran came from Almighty Allah,

00:24:00--> 00:24:00

excuse me,

00:24:02--> 00:24:45

from the preserved tablet, to the lowest heaven in beta lies as a whole. And then it was an installment according to the events and the incidents that took place at the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi Salat and let me elaborate and things that some of the verses of the Quran were not just addressing what happens in the house of the prophets Allah seller, what happens in Medina what happens in Mecca, it was addressing something global even something for example, some battles between the Romans and the Persian the Quran addressed them. The Quran was addressing a lot of things not only things that were happening in the place of the Prophet sallallahu certainly is a

00:24:45--> 00:25:00

true if I can interject that there was also the Creator, correcting the Prophet peace be upon them in the Quran. They were the craters correcting the Prophet peace be upon him. He would say something and say like when all turned around, he was disappointed

00:25:00--> 00:25:42

Blame disciplining him. Yeah, he was teaching him the good morals all the for example, even the Quran itself if the prophet SAW Selim would do an act that does not affect his status, Allah subhanaw taala would correct. For example, if he ignored somebody, Allah subhanaw taala would send him a verse telling him to do this. And if he does anything, that it does not benefit him, for example, a very famous story. And this is very interesting for people to know what the context of the word insha Allah, you will find a lot of Muslims, almost every Muslim uses this word in every day, perhaps 20 or 30 times in sha Allah, which means God God willing, God willing, yeah.

00:25:43--> 00:26:11

It happened that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam was every time what the people would come to him the Jews and Christians and Muslims would ask him questions, and the Prophet sallallahu Sallam if he knew he would answer them, if he doesn't know he would say, I don't know. So in one case, the companions use one person came to him and asked him a question. And the prophet SAW Selim told him that I'm going to tell you tomorrow

00:26:12--> 00:26:41

for getting you using the word inshallah, God willing. So what happened is that Allah subhanho wa Taala to teach him a lesson that he should all the time use, inshallah, so he kept the revelation he did not send gibreel time and waited one day, two days and one week after two weeks and after a long time jabril came to him and taught him this

00:26:42--> 00:27:22

insha Allah to say, inshallah, this is in the Quran in the Quran in surah. Okay, so if he's writing and now he's correcting himself doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense at all. So, so here almost a lot the Creator is correcting and teaching the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Salah what to say in his things, and this is documented in the Quran, that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam didn't do this, they didn't say insha Allah and Allah is teaching him disciplining him and discipline every Muslim for me, yes, you because there's nothing that happens without the will of Almighty Allah. So it's a very important lesson. That's why you find all Muslims are using this now to say that inshallah

00:27:22--> 00:28:08

inshallah. So, this is a brief scenario of what was happening 200 people memorizing the Quran, and four writers wrote four copies, copies, I would say copies of the Quran, each one of them was different with his own handwriting. And all these were reviewed whether the memorization of the Quran the prophet SAW, Selim used to review their recitation and to correct it. And at the same time, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam used to review what the companions the four companions are, the four scribes wrote, and he would ask them to review for each other, he would recite, and each one of them would review what the other had written. And this was guaranteed This was at the time of the

00:28:08--> 00:28:39

Prophet sallallahu sallam, four copies of the Quran, and at least 200 memorizes of the Quran, all around Mecca and Medina. This was the situation until the Prophet sallallahu Sallam died. And these four copies were left in the house of Asia out of the LA Juana. And still, the number of the memorizer increases days after days, until the time of Abu Bakr Siddiq, what was the first Caliph came

00:28:40--> 00:29:22

and I hope in the next episode, I will go on to continue explaining this in very simple language so everybody would understand exactly how the arm was preserved. God willing, that means I mean, what you just said that inshallah we're going to do a part two inshallah? Because we're not not absolutely we're not done. Thank you very much. Okay, thank you. We look forward for part two, and we hope that God will and you're going to come back remember Dr. Muhammad Mundo is going to have his own section at the deen show calm so you can click you can read his biography and all the shows that we're doing with him. So this is part one, inshallah. God willing, we're going to be doing part tune

at the time when the Prophet peace be upon him had passed. And now

00:30:22--> 00:30:39

we're going to continue from here. Talk to a Shaykh salaam aleikum, WA Salaam, thank you for being with us here yet inviting me to talking about the verbatim Word of God that we said it didn't fall from the sky It was revealed over 23 years. And we came all the way to the point where the

00:30:40--> 00:31:01

recap talk to us recap a little bit from Episode One and we'll go from there. We said that the death of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam this was the situation, please there were 200 people 200 companions, men and women. they memorize the Quran by heart, and they use to use it in every day in their prayer.

00:31:02--> 00:31:50

At the same time, there were four copies, written copies by four well known companions. And this process took place in the house of the Prophet peace be upon it. They were, as we mentioned, zeytinburnu Harris and Alibaba vitalant and obey of niqab and I crema nabee, Sophia, this for people, when whenever the prophets Allah selling us to get a revelation from Allah subhanaw taala gala via jabril peace be upon it. What happened is that the Prophet wassalam would call those people and would ask them to write what was revealed to Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi Salat and we said that Allah subhanaw taala guaranteed that whatever Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam said in the

00:31:50--> 00:32:09

Quran, that it was guaranteed 100% that there is no mistake in it. So this was the situation until the prophet SAW Selim died. So in other words, there was not there was no one compile ation of the world in a form of a book.

00:32:11--> 00:32:56

It was four copies, as I said, that was written on litters of animal written on pieces of wood. And by the way, there are some of these up till now they are living, and perhaps you can see this in the screen. Yeah. Some examples of the written on woods, some examples of like what we're seeing right now that what we're seeing right now, yeah. So you can see this by yourself. So the combine Corrado is not compiled in one book, but as I said that four versions of the same thing written by four different people, and reviewed by the prophet sallallahu himself, and even the Prophet sallallahu Sallam gibreel peace be upon him reviewed the Quran with him twice in the last year before the

00:32:56--> 00:33:17

prophets of Allah celandine. And even some of the companions when they knew that gibreel reviewed the Quran two times, which is not the custom of jabril because he used to review the Quran with Mohammed once a year. But in the last show, the companions understood that Muhammad Salah Salem is going to die because of this

00:33:18--> 00:33:23

revision that was made by gibreel in the last year of the life of the Prophet saws.

00:33:24--> 00:33:27

When abubaker said this, the first Calif came

00:33:30--> 00:33:30

after

00:33:32--> 00:33:34

just a few weeks

00:33:36--> 00:34:17

they some of the people refuse to pay zakat to pay the charity that they used to pay is one of the pillars of Islam. Oh, yes, absolutely. And what happened is that this LED those that are working, so they said that I'm going to launch a war against those who advised them first. He meant many negotiations with them, but they insisted on the understanding that there was a fight, which is very famous fight in the history of Islam is called the Battle of vijnana. Yeah, during these this battle, approximately around 70 memorizers.

00:34:18--> 00:34:21

passed away. Died

00:34:23--> 00:34:34

was a very big problem. Yes, although they had at that time more than 200 people, but 70 is a big loss. So he was the situation

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

abubaker said it was sitting and Ahmadinejad was sitting and many companions were sitting and the news came that 70 memorizer died in the Battle of your man.

00:34:50--> 00:34:54

It was a very tragic situation. And then Amaro

00:34:55--> 00:34:59

peace be upon him. The second Caliph came up with this

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

idea.

00:35:02--> 00:35:12

He said that, hey, Abu Bakr, why shouldn't we compile the Quran in one book in one must have the word must have in Arabic language just

00:35:14--> 00:35:15

what does that mean?

00:35:16--> 00:35:32

Literally speaking must have means that place of pages or the place of papers. In other words a book. Yeah. So the Quran was not compiled into one thing at that time so on top suggested this to Abu Bakr

00:35:34--> 00:35:40

the natural response of the Caliph, he rejected the idea

00:35:41--> 00:35:46

and how marble hubbub, started talking to him, asking him, why

00:35:47--> 00:35:58

do you reject this idea? Why do you reject this idea? He said, simply, I cannot do anything, that the Prophet peace be upon him didn't do.

00:35:59--> 00:36:09

See how how those people were so smart, they were afraid to do anything that may take them out of the way of the prophets

00:36:10--> 00:36:12

said no, he said no, he refused.

00:36:13--> 00:36:18

Then the Amr mahtab started explaining the concept to many companions.

00:36:19--> 00:36:20

They were convinced

00:36:21--> 00:36:23

and then when

00:36:24--> 00:36:30

almost all the companions there was a consensus among the companions of the Prophet sallallahu seller

00:36:31--> 00:36:33

agreed on this issue

00:36:34--> 00:37:00

that it should be compiled in one at that time. Then and only then abubaker So basically, Calif, accepted that and by the way, here is the one thing in Islam. If the competitive there is a consensus among the companions to do something, it becomes part of the religion. So companions these were when we say his friends, people that were living, living at the time saw have a problem. They knew how

00:37:02--> 00:37:41

everything went according everything. Even if the prophet SAW Selim would unbutton his shirt, they would unbutton their chair, they will just want to imitate the prophets, Allah Salah. Even if sitting putting one leg on another leg, they would do the same thing. Even if he's using his right hand like this, they would use the right hand they would imitating emulating the profits are selling in everything that you need, even in things that they are not related to the religion, and now not making this into one compile book during the life of the press upon them. Was it because he was living at the time he was living? that there were four copies? Yeah, and now the matter is left in

00:37:41--> 00:38:09

the hands of the people. Okay, so this was there. Now, what happened is that Abu Bakr Siddiq called Zaida, blowhards, remember, when they talk they did perhaps one of the four people who the scribes who used to read the Quran at the time? Yeah, so he asked him to do that, you know that he's the leader of the nation, asking one of the people, the nation, and he refused. He said, I'm sorry, I cannot do that.

00:38:10--> 00:38:23

The reason is that this was not done at the time of the Prophet selasa. See how cautious the companions were. They just wanted to stick to the way of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam.

00:38:24--> 00:39:00

And what happened after that, when all the companions explained this to him, that there is a consensus. And he said that what law he had they asked me to remove the mountain of art. This is the very famous mountain and close to Medina. Have they asked me have the companions asked me to remove the mountain of a hood from its place to another place? It would have been an easier task for me than to do this compilation. Hold it right there. We got to take a break. Don't use your place shake. We'll be right back on the dean show.

00:39:07--> 00:39:13

All of the profits would have been labeled useless, because this essential message was the

00:39:14--> 00:39:15

son of God.

00:39:18--> 00:39:31

This is God talking to you. How can I stand behind the pulpit on Sunday morning and preach a sermon that I knew was at variance with the actual tap root of Christianity.

00:39:32--> 00:39:57

We're back here on The Daily Show with Dr. Mohammed mountain do it would have been easier you said to move the mountain ahead ahead than to compile the Quran to do an act that that was not done at the prophets, Allah Salah. And this tells us how smart the companions of the profits while celebrating how smart the disciples of the profits while I sent him where they wanted to keep everything as it was in the time of the profits.

00:39:58--> 00:39:59

But there was a need

00:40:00--> 00:40:44

The to compile it in one book. And what happened at that time when he started compiling it. The way I'd like to elaborate on this now we have four copies, as we said, four different handwriting's because each one companion has his own different font or different handwriting, my handwriting is different from your handwriting. From your handwriting, each one has his unique, same, nothing different that of course, it's the same color still the four virgins name. So what's happened is that he started picking, yes, the good version that was not affected by the element of time, you know that by the element of time, sometimes, there was wearing out, sometimes the leakage of the

00:40:44--> 00:41:05

ink. Sometimes there are many other factors that affect the time, after 23 years. Now, it's we're talking about 24 years. So there so he started selecting, for example, the first page, you would take it from the copy of Zaid, the second page would be taken from the copy of

00:41:06--> 00:41:18

the cab. And from these four copies, he compiled one version, and they compiled it together. And it came in the form of a book. Absolutely, it was not like that.

00:41:19--> 00:41:27

Simply because it was not written on paper. It was written as we said, leather. And so you can imagine how huge

00:41:28--> 00:41:35

that book is, I'm quite sure that it may extend from this world to this one. But they were compiled together.

00:41:36--> 00:42:05

And what happened after that. So all the lift papers, from the four copies, they were gathered together, and they were bought, burnt, they will spread. So let's just make this clear. You're saying that during the time of the Prophet peace be upon these work, there were four copies that were made with the tree, the chief scribe who was there at the time, now again, he's there again, the same check he made.

00:42:06--> 00:42:10

And these four, they're brought together, they're not different versions

00:42:12--> 00:42:41

of this completely. Bring it together in one book. Yeah, you can imagine that this book and this is the wisdom of the Creator of the heavens on Earth, making all these steps, the consensus of the oil well, the consensus, there's no fight this noting like, hey, this shouldn't be here. What are you doing? There's no fighting. They all agree, a lot of discussion, very academic and scientific and deep discussion among them to see that actually, they're all God fearing people. Absolutely. They're not trying to make a mistake here. Absolutely. There's no not a single

00:42:42--> 00:43:24

percent an error here factor. So the Quran was compiled, and they have abubakr subdeacon was left. Of course, this was the house of eyeshadow the line now you said Bernie, because there are a lot of people here who may be just out of ignorance absolute or intentionally, unintentionally, they say that, look, they were different versions. Okay, this is because now Can they burn in first grade on this? This is very good question. So first of all, how can they should be four different versions, if they are reviewed by the prophet Allah? Say, there were these four copies were written at the time of the Prophet. And he used to review them from time to time. Yeah. And he used to ask each one

00:43:24--> 00:44:04

of those scribes to review the other copy that was written. So all of them as a group of four people, they are responsible for these four copies. Yeah. And this hamdulillah the wisdom of haematologic, lolly, Selim, it might have been an inspiration to him by Allah. But this is the wisdom he made for people, not just one copy or two copies. Why? Because the effect of time might have made some changes when you write a paper and you leave it for some time. Yeah. When you come after seven years, you see the effect of the time on it. Yeah, absolutely. So the prophets lesson was so wise. So there are now four copies from these four copies, only one copy was made and was

00:44:04--> 00:44:42

connected together compiled together to make the first must have and this must have, which means book. Yes. This must have was known to be called the most half of a b back. Half of the reason is, it was made at the time of a book. And you will see later on when we talk when explain this at the time of asthma. Yeah, it was called asthma. And because it was done at the time of US law. It was not written by us, man. It was not written by Abacus, even though because the consent was not one of the writers. Yeah, yeah. So now we're at the time of aboubaker

00:44:43--> 00:44:59

Sadiq who lived almost for two years and then he died. And after the time of workers came the second this was a situation there is only one copy and that many memorizers of the Quran every day passes a lot of people memorize the Quran. Why?

00:45:00--> 00:45:43

Because they need it in their daily prayers, they use it five times a day. And some of them were imams leading the prayers. So they needed that and continuously, whenever somebody makes a mistake, he will be corrected by the followers who pray behind them. And this is again, one of the wisdoms of the congregational prayer of the Muslims, then that's why we are all encouraged as Muslims to pray in congregation. And to see that if a man makes a mistake, everyone who is a follower of him will correct him during the prayer. Yeah, so now we have a Rebecca did, and it's compiled there, but he passes away. They passed away what the situation was now this book, it was there. abubaker so that

00:45:43--> 00:46:00

came up that came after that. What happened is that the book was moved from the house of Ayesha to the house of house. These are the propagandists. It was his wife. Yes, you're still alive. It's still alive. Yeah. Yeah. What happened is that at the time of horrible

00:46:02--> 00:46:04

I don't want to go into details. But anyway,

00:46:05--> 00:46:06

nothing happened.

00:46:09--> 00:46:55

Omar Macaca used to send people especially the memorizers to the new countries that became Islamic countries. Because the Muslims open many countries and Islam spread in many countries. So how Muslim Khattab used to send some memorizers to teach people the new Converse or the new reverts to Islam. There's this the Quran, so for now is going beyond Mecca and beyond Medina to the new lands that had been added to the Islamic countries. So this was the situation at the time of Omar then Omar passed away nothing happened I still have this one most half most hostile at the Prophet Exactly. fossa have still they're still same one that compiled during the

00:46:56--> 00:47:12

Baba Casa de Okay, exactly the same one that was taken from the fork off. Is that one, how many years later? is this? No, no, you're talking about a homeowner who lived approximately 12 years. So 12 to 1214 years still the same copy and.

00:47:14--> 00:47:37

And what happens now that is the Islamic nation is increasing, is expanding in every direction, though, all the memories that are used to spread out and to teach other people how to memorize the Quran. So the number of the memorizers is increasing day after date men and women, all the new young, every Arabs and non Arabs, at the time of us men, the third Caliph

00:47:38--> 00:47:40

there was a big expansion.

00:47:42--> 00:47:44

So what happened is that

00:47:45--> 00:47:47

when the people recite the Quran,

00:47:48--> 00:48:32

when I recite the Quran, especially as let me go back to the time of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, the people who memorize the Quran were from different tribes. And these tribes, of course, they have their own dialect. For example, you can see that in English, there is a difference between the New York dialect and New York dialect and the Texas dialect and Chicago people in their places they have different like they read the same word, but with the dialect. Yeah, yeah, with an accent, or dialect. And this is exactly what was happening in the time that the tribes were spreading here. And there was long distance between them is not close communication. There was no media. And so the

00:48:32--> 00:48:49

prophet SAW Selim did not change the dialect, but they use the pronouns, they're the words according to their diet. For example, let me tell you, some people would say schedule, and some people would say, cheerio. And this is something common in every language. So the prophet SAW Selim endorsed these right.

00:48:51--> 00:49:08

And, of course, he accepted the these pronunciation. Give us one more like that, which you said, you say scheduling, and shedule. Schedule and schedule, it will be another example. So we can hit home with the same the same word mother or Mom, Mom, mom, or mom or something like yeah, so

00:49:10--> 00:49:15

this is just what it is. It's a way of pronouncing it. Yeah, that's the word. Yes. That's it.

00:49:18--> 00:49:49

And there are many examples in many languages. Yeah. So now, those people when they spread over the world, teaching the people, so if I say that I pronounce it this way, and you pronounce it this way, so they needed to match this with a written copy? Oh, no, it's coming home to judgment. Okay. So now, okay, we need a written copy. So this, there was a need at the time of Northland for having coffee.

00:49:50--> 00:49:59

So what happened is that just you try to imagine, can you take out this and make a copy from the bone or from now of course,

00:50:00--> 00:50:03

It was impossible. So what happened is, he brought

00:50:04--> 00:50:11

zaidan, the highest of the first one again, he's still alive, he was still he still there. And this is the wisdom of Allah.

00:50:12--> 00:50:53

And he brought other companions with him to help him. And he wrote one copy by his hand writing, he copied from those, this most half of the book, he wrote it by hand. Now, you can imagine that on paper, and it shrank down to the side, and perhaps the video, which are the people. That's this, an example of a huge, it was so huge of all of it on paper, and the mail he made with the collaboration of three other companions. He made seven copies. So now there are seven copies take written by the same person

00:50:55--> 00:51:47

were copied from there was this compilation of the Quran, and these seven copies were sent to seven places, one, Mecca, one Medina, one Basra, one, a Kufa, one Bahrain, one, two, Yemen, and one, two, a sharp, Syria and Lebanon. Seven copies were centered. And by the way, some of these copies until now there exists one of them is in Turkey. And one of the museum's there, one of them is in Egypt, the some of these original I'm talking about these seven copies that were written almost 1300 years ago, or 1400 years ago, they are still there, and addition to the number of the wiser, that is increasing not only among the Arabs, among all the other countries. This was the situation at the

00:51:47--> 00:52:00

time of asthma. And that's why this virgin that we have nowadays, it's called osmani. Because this was just done during as this was done at the time, nothing different from one time absolutely profits time.

00:52:01--> 00:52:50

Even if it was stim without vowels, without dots, it was in the same format, but seven copies of it. And the verses of the Quran used to take it as a reference. If there's a mistake in the memorization happens. We said that in the time of the third Calif, mathematic, not fun, just tuition was like this, there were seven copies, handwritten by the same chiefs Cripe, whose name is at the heart. And these copies were sent to these countries when as mentioned that these seven places one of them to Yemen. One of them is to Sham Syria in Lebanon, and then another one was sent to Basra. Another one was sent to Kufa one was sent to Bahrain and to remain in the area, one in Mecca and the other one

00:52:50--> 00:53:04

was in Medina, seven copies written by the same person, they were done at the time of our sermon, and that's why they are called Othmani. Right. And that's why many of the versions of the Quran that we have nowadays they call it automatic

00:53:06--> 00:53:45

must have referring to that they were done at the time of our sermon. The third can elaborate when you say because when we know we have multiple versions of the Bible, when you say version, because people think now this is a different course. And there's something in this one. What do you mean? Yeah, it is said that seven copies with me. So it's the front, it's the same by the same person. You copied from each one of them. He is the same person. Yeah, who did the same thing. So that's why I'm saying that. So the seven of them, they were spread here and there. Now we call this I don't know, we call it virgin or addition or? Yeah, yeah. But we call it as many because the font here, this was

00:53:45--> 00:54:24

the same font that was taken from the time that the Quran was copied at the time of Islam. That's why they call it as learning. Gotcha. Talk to us now about you can continue on but just a side note, when was a during this time that the Quran some of the people that were making shorthand, they were taking notes that it was taken, so there would be confusion and they would earn? Absolutely, yeah, the time of our spend, he recommended that, you know that there are many Muslims everywhere in the world, especially in the Arabia. Yeah, they were writing for their own they memorize the Quran they want to write so some of them might have written Yes, the whole plan, some of them might have

00:54:24--> 00:54:48

written part of it. So at the time of our sermon when these copies were made, he asked all the people who have some parts of the Koran or even other copies of the Quran, they would be collected and burned that's it this is this is it was there much resistance from the people on no no of course they would know that this is this isn't like a you know by force like knocking on doors breaking doors this fake

00:54:51--> 00:54:59

it because the the companions were on the same level of Arsenal or the lion and some of them were yes even had greater impact.

00:55:00--> 00:55:36

And then Islam and then even in understanding the Quran, then that are not found on the line. So anyway, the all these pieces and parts were gathered together and wouldn't burn it and we still have the seven copies. And when as I said that you can imagine the long distance between these places that the Quran were sent to the time of Alabama, Vitaly, the fourth Caliph, nothing happened, there is no change. And this continued on and on at the time of Abdul Malik of number one, the concept of dotting putting the dots on the way this was not there.

00:55:38--> 00:56:24

And that's why you would find that some words Yes. needed to have yes in the alphabet, this has changed in the writing system of the Arabic so the added the dots to differentiate between what was this now this was at the time of Abdul Malik Abdul Marwan How far is this after? Say not after as well after Allah? tala, this would be immediately after just few years? Yeah, just a few years. And this was for the purpose of what for the purpose of the said this is a change in the writing system? Yes, nothing change was done by? Absolutely. It's the writing system. For example, I will tell people now look at the word color in the British writing. And the word color is written in the

00:56:24--> 00:56:33

American writing, you would see that this u is written and in the American system, they dropped the you, right? Look at the word night.

00:56:34--> 00:57:21

And I ght and now the people write it in i t Right. Yeah. So it's still the same pronunciation the same word the same meaning does not change anything, but it is the change in the writing system. And this happens in all the world. Right? So this dotting system was introduced at the time of Upton medical marijuana. And this was a per mile by a person called will. So what do we know the person that an ame and we know that this was well documented, there is nothing to hide or to conceal here. And at the same time, the Quran was continuing to be memorized more and more and more people now are writing copies different copies from the seven copies that were rushed, you love it. So you'll get a

00:57:21--> 00:58:09

copy, and you try to make a copy of the original work until printing was introduced. And hundreds and 1000s and millions of copies were made. At the same time, the number of memorizers is increasing. Until recently, in the last few years, in the 20th century, there was a statistic about the memorizers of the Quran, they are approximately 9.3 million memorizers of the Quran the covered from cover to cover. they memorize the tar by heart from cover to cover, and they are almost everywhere in the world. And 50% of them, at least in the subcontinent of India and Pakistan and advanced. Let's leave off there and I think that this opens up if you're willing to come back God

00:58:09--> 00:58:46

willing, where we can talk about more about the Quran and this was just how it was compiled. But you know many of the different solutions to a lot of the problems we're having here it being a guidance for the man absolutely describing who our Creator is, who he is and the wonderful words of Paradise and all the beautiful things that of a person lives how the creator wants them to live all the delights and the beautiful things about seeing their Lord in Paradise and Mashallah all these wonderful things that we can talk about scientific miracles literature does go on and on a lot next episode part three. Absolutely. Okay. And that's it. We're here with Dr. Mundo. He agreed. So if he

00:58:46--> 00:59:04

agreed, I'm sure now he's gonna find a time you could find a time and come back here here at the deen show again Dr. Mundo he has his own section of the deen show comm check it out to see one parts one two, this one if you didn't see all of it, and then inshallah God willing, we're going to continue on talking about the verbatim Word of God the Quran. See you next time sound like

00:59:06--> 00:59:10

a science major. When you look at the Bible, it says the earth has four corners.

00:59:12--> 00:59:25

Is this wrong? The heavens if any Christian can point out a single unequivocal statement, a single unambiguous statement where Jesus Christ peace be upon him says say that I am God or we should worship me. I'm ready to accept Christianity.

00:59:32--> 00:59:52

aids comb aids lay everybody sleeping. I arise and ask a lot of thinking me Oh law you see, oh law you know
