The Prophet sallahu wa wa-impacted the Day of Judgment with a recitation of the word "The Greatest" and meticulous and powerful recitation of WhatsApp's words "the Greatest." The transcript describes a segment of a Islam book that appears to be a recitation of WhatsApp's words "the fruit of Islam," and emphasizes the importance of learning the Quran and finding the right person to talk about it. The transcript also touches on the power of words in religion and how they can impact one's life, including personal struggles and the importance of language of love and romance in the context of religion.

			As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			Bismillah, alhamdulillah, as-salatu was-salamu ala Rasulullahi
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa min wa
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:08
			ala huwa ba'd.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			It is great to be back to Malaysia
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:14
			and to this beautiful state of yours, a
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			beautiful city.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless this
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			community, bless this country.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			May Allah bless the attendees of this conference
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			and those who organized this conference.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make it
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:32
			a heavy reward in their scales on the
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			Day of Judgment, a light in this life,
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			a light in their graves, a light on
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			the Day of Judgment.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			Allahumma ameen.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			My brothers and sisters, it is an excellent
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:48
			topic to come together to speak about the
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:52
			Al-Qur'an and to speak about Al
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			-Qur'an Al-Kareem from many different aspects,
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			especially as we are approaching Ramadan.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			And Ramadan is the month of the Qur
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:00
			'an.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			Shahrul Ramadan al-ladhi unzila fihi al-Qur
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:04
			'an.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			The month of Ramadan is the month where
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			the Qur'an was revealed.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:12
			It was reported by Imam Ahmad rahimahullah in
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			his Musnad that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			sallam not only told us that Al-Qur
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			'an was only revealed in the Qur'an
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:23
			in Ramadan, but also Suhuf Ibrahim, the scripture
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			of Ibrahim was revealed in the first night
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			of Ramadan, and Al-Tawrah in the 6th,
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			and Al-Injil in the 13th, and Al
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:34
			-Qur'an in the 24th of Ramadan.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			And many of Ahlul Ilm rahimahullah have mentioned
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			this narration from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			sallam.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			But no doubt, Al-Qur'an through history
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			became the focus of Muslims during this month.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			If you ask anyone from any other religion
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			about their prophets, like Christians, Jews, if you
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			ask them about the miracles of Musa, the
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			miracles of Isa alayhi salam, he will tell
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			you what he has done, but none of
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			these miracles are still alive.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			None of these miracles still exist, except the
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			miracle of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:13
			As he himself said, مَا مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ إِلَّا
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:18
			أُعْطِيَ مَا مِثْلَهُ آمَنَ عَلَيْهِ الْبَشَرُ وَإِنَّمَا كَانَ
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:21
			الَّذِي أُوتِيتُهُ وَحْيًا أَوْحَاهُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ That the
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, the miracle
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:27
			that I was given, the eternal miracle is
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			Al-Qur'an.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			It is a live miracle that will continue
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:34
			until the Day of Judgment, after the time
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			That's why it will continue to bring people
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			to Islam.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			And in the hadith the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			wa sallam said, and that's why I hope
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			to be the one who have the most
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			number of followers until the Day of Judgment.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			Because his miracle is eternal, is alive.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			And that's very true.
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			There is a study was made in the
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:59
			United States, and I bet you anything this
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			will be the same in Australia, will be
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			the same in Europe, will be the same
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			in Malaysia, will be the same anywhere in
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:05
			the world.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			That number one reason for people to accept
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			Islam, is someone will say, I read a
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			copy from the Qur'an.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			I read the Qur'an, and that's what
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			brought me to Islam.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			I will never forget.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			In one of the years in my masjid,
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			we were praying taraweeh.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			And all of a sudden somebody opened the
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:24
			masjid.
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:27
			At that time our masjid was just a
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			rental place in a shopping center.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			And somebody walked into the masjid while we
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			were praying.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			And he grabbed a chair.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			Can you imagine, I'm leading the salah, and
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			people lining up behind me.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			And this man bring a chair, and he
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			sat just where I'm standing.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			And looking at me.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			And looking at people who are praying behind
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			me.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			So, after I finished the first two rak
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			'ah, I said, Hi.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			What's going on?
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			He said, I was walking by your place,
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			I heard the recitation from outside, and I
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			came in.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			Because this is so beautiful.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			Please continue.
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			I told the community, just leave him.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			And we prayed the whole entire taraweeh, and
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			after we finished, the first night of Ramadan.
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23
			He said, what you guys are?
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			I said, we're Muslims.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			And he said, what is this that you're
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:26
			reciting?
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			I said, that's the words of Allah.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			And he said, how can I be one
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:31
			of you?
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:37
			I said to say, And he became Muslim
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			in the first night of Ramadan.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			Just by listening to it.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			And that story is not only about me
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			or about masjid.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:52
			That's the story repeated, I heard it, I
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			witnessed it so many times in my life.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			And we know through history.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:00
			When people get exposed to this beautiful, powerful
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:05
			message, book, speech of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:06
			'ala.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			Just by listening to it, it moved their
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:09
			hearts.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			Mut'im said, when I heard the Nabi
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:17
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam reciting surat al-Tur,
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:23
			he said, my heart almost left my chest.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			I was so moved by it.
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			And I'm telling you about people who don't
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			understand Arabic.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			But when they listen to the Quran, they
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			know the power of this word.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			The power of the Quran.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:40
			And I do believe because it is the
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:40
			words of Allah.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:42
			It's the speech of Allah.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			And as you know, we are made of
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			body and soul.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			Our soul recognize Allah.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:54
			Our soul recognize its creator.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			Because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala created the
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			soul before the body.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			Way before the body.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			And Allah has taken covenant from all the
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			souls of humans.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			That they will worship Allah.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			They heard Allah.
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			These souls, they heard the talk of Allah.
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:14
			When He said, I am your Lord.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			They said, yes, you are our Lord.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:20
			So when the souls hear the words of
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, it bring back
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:23
			that what we call fitrah.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			That nature in you.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29
			That's why it will be easy to connect
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			to the words of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			'ala.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:37
			This book, Allah says, وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:42
			الْمَثَانِ وَالْقُرْآنَ الْعَظِيمِ Is the great Quran.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			Quran means something that you recite.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47
			It's a great Quran.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said about
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:54
			this book, وَإِنَّهُ فِي أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ لَدَيْنَ لَعَلِيٌّ
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:57
			حَكِيمٌ It is high.
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			That book is high.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			That book is حكيم, يعني محكم.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			It is absolutely perfect.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			That's how Allah praise His own speech.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			And if you wanna know the virtue of
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			the Quran, it is equal to the virtue
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			of Allah Himself because it's His speech as
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			Abdullah ibn Mas'ud radiyallahu anhu wa arda
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:16
			said.
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			That's why no one can come with anything
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20
			similar to it.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:23
			The miraculous of this Quran beyond any human,
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			beyond any jinn, beyond any creation.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:32
			قُلْ لَئِنِ اجْتَمَعَتِ الْإِنسُ وَالْجِنُ عَلَىٰ يَأْتُوا بِمِثْلِ
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ لَا يَأْتُونَ بِمِثْلِ If the jinn
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:39
			and human come together to produce something like
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			this Quran, they will not be able to
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			do so.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:43
			Why?
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:46
			Because it's a revelation from Allah.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:50
			وَأُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ It was revealed to
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:54
			me, this Quran, to warn you, as Allah
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			subhanahu wa ta'ala said in Surah Al
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:56
			-An'am.
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:01
			My brothers and sisters, the point of the
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:06
			Quran is to understand, in order for you
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			to understand the miraculous nature of the Quran,
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			you need to listen to the Quran and
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:14
			to read the Quran with your heart before
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			your eyes and before hearing it with your
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			ears.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:21
			It is when you reflect, when you contemplate
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:24
			on the verses of the Quran, because that's
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:27
			the whole point of revealing the Quran.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in many
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:39
			different verses, أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنِ وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:51
			عِنْدِ غَيْرِ اللَّهِ لَوَجَدُوا فِيهِ اخْتِلَافًا كَثِيرًا كِتَابٌ
		
00:08:51 --> 00:09:01
			أَنزَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَارَكٌ لِّيَتْدَبَّرُوا آيَاتِهِ أَفَلَا
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:10
			يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ أَمْ عَلَى قُلُوبٍ أَقْفَالُهَا This blessed
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:13
			book, which we have revealed to you, that
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:18
			they might reflect upon its verses, then do
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			they not reflect upon the Quran?
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:24
			That's why it's so common among the early
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27
			generations they would say, I would rather spend
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:31
			the whole night reflecting upon few verses than
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:32
			reading many verses from the Quran.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:39
			And I know, one of the common questions
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:44
			people ask me, okay, that's not my phone.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			I said, oh my God, there's five minutes
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:56
			left for the lecture.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:04
			Thank you.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:09
			One of the common questions, most common question
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			I get, Shaykh, I don't speak Arabic very
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:12
			well.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:13
			My Arabic is not that good.
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			You know, even though...
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			By the way, not all those people I
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			told you in the west and different places
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:23
			of the world who don't speak Arabic, they
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:26
			got into Islam, Al-Quran have power over
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:29
			them, took over their souls, not because they
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:30
			understand Arabic.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:32
			The power of the Quran, not only in
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:35
			the words, but also in the meanings of
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:36
			the Quran.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:39
			The sound of the Quran, it just touch
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:39
			your heart.
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			That's why it's so important in order for
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:43
			you, one of the first thing I want
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			to make my first point today when I
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			talk about the miraculous nature of the Quran,
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:49
			it is you have to look to read
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:52
			it with your heart before your tongue and
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:52
			your eyes.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			You know this Quran, if Allah revealed it
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58
			on a mountain, the mountain will turn to
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			dust.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:04
			لَوْ أَنزَلْنَا هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ عَلَىٰ جَبَلٍ On a
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:08
			mountain, you will see the mountain breaking apart.
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:09
			How about your heart?
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:11
			How about your soul?
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:17
			That's why a Christian person once heard someone
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			reading and he was in tears.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:19
			He said, why are you crying?
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			He said, I'm crying because of the power
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			of these words.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			It just moved my heart.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			As I told you, Jubair ibn Mut'im
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			said, my heart almost left my chest when
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:32
			I heard the Prophet ﷺ reciting surah al
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:32
			-Tur.
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:34
			When Walid ibn al-Mughir, I heard the
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			Prophet ﷺ reciting verses in the Quran.
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			Many different narration about what exactly he heard,
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:43
			but maybe he heard multiple verses, multiple surahs,
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			and he was so moved by it.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:47
			So moved by it.
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:50
			Some of the kuffar even made sujood because
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			of the power of the Quran.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:57
			And somebody said, سَجَبْتُ لِي فَصَاحَةِ There is
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:01
			a brother in England, he used to be
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:04
			a singer, very famous in the 70s especially,
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			Cat Stephen.
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:09
			Changes name to Yusuf, known also as Yusuf
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:09
			Islam.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:14
			He said, have you ever heard his story?
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			He said, I was in the hospital and
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
			somebody gave me a copy from the Quran.
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:20
			When I look at the first verses in
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:22
			the Quran, the second surah, surah al-Baqarah.
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:34
			Alif Lam Mim ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابُنَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ This
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			book, no doubt about it.
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:39
			I said to myself, that's how it starts?
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:41
			This book, no doubt about it?
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			What kind of challenge is that?
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:45
			It's so challenging.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:50
			Who can claim, about any human being can
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:50
			claim that?
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			I said, there is no doubt about this.
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:55
			He said, I knew from that moment that
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:56
			this is from God.
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			One of the most important thing to understand
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			the nature, the miracles of this Quran, because
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			a lot of time when we talk about
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:06
			the miracles of the Quran, we think about
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:09
			how to invite non-Muslim to Islam.
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			But I want you to broaden your horizon.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:15
			It's also about how Quran have a great
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			impact in you as a Muslim to bring
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			you closer to Allah as well.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:22
			And to open your heart to connect with
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:22
			it.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			Subhanallah, Al-Quran is amazing.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:27
			Al-Quran no matter how many times you
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:28
			read it, you never get bored.
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			لَا تَنْقَضِي عَجَائِبُهَا As Ibn Abbas said.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:34
			Every time you read, you discover something new.
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:37
			You see it reflect in something interesting, a
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			perspective you never thought about it before.
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			And Al-Quran is amazing also because everybody
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43
			read the Quran.
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:47
			The scholar, the student of knowledge, the average
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:50
			Muslim, the one who is perfect in Arabic
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			language, and the one who is like, his
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			Arabic language is like, you know, just basic.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			Those who don't need to understand Arabic at
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:00
			all, and all of them connect with the
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:00
			Quran.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			Al-'alim, the scholar, connect with the Quran in
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:06
			a level different than the level of the
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			average Muslim.
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:10
			But all of us connect with the Quran.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12
			All of us benefit from the Quran.
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			All of us needs the Quran.
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			All of us seek guidance from the Quran.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:22
			Men, women, older, younger, subhanAllah, rich, righteous, sinner,
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:24
			good doer, whatever.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:27
			Everybody when they turn the Quran, they find
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:29
			that the Quran connect with them.
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:33
			One of the most important thing is to
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			feel that the Quran is speaking to you.
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:39
			I remember a brother telling me, Sheikh, I
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:43
			was in a school and I just finished
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:44
			my exams.
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:46
			And it was very hard semester.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:50
			So I walk into the masjid, and in
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52
			my intention, what I'm gonna do in the
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:52
			summer.
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:55
			You know, I have a good long break,
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:58
			summer break, and I said, I'm highly motivated
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			to do nothing.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			I just wanna be lazy.
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			I just wanna sleep most of the days.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:08
			I just want, I'm so committed to relax.
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			He said, I walk in Salatul Maghrib, and
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:12
			the Imam was reading.
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:21
			أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ وَوَضَعْنَا عَنْكَ وِزْرَكَ الَّذِي
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:27
			أَنْقَضْ ظَهْرَكَ Until the Imam reach.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:38
			فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانْصَبْ وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَرْغَبْ And
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:41
			I felt as if these verses just now
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:42
			was revealed to me.
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:46
			The verse said, when you're done, when you're
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:50
			done with your affairs, now you should exhaust
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52
			yourself in the worship of Allah.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:56
			I said, when you're done, I'm just done
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			with all my exams, done with my study,
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:01
			now I should focus on my Salat, focus
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:04
			on my Quran, focus on my Deen.
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			Wallahi, I felt as if Allah SWT speaking
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:08
			to me.
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:17
			Another brother, Yusuf Ibn Al-Qayyim rahimahullah said
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			in one of his books, he mentioned in
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:22
			several books actually, one of them Al-Jawab
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:25
			Al-Kafi, Ibn Al-Qayyim said, sometimes when
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:29
			I feel lazy, when somebody feel like he's
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:32
			not off the road a little bit, you
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:33
			know, off the Sirat Al-Mustaqim a little
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:37
			bit, he called himself by remembering the verse
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:46
			in the Quran, يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّ اِرْجِعِي
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:54
			إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَرْضِيَةً Oh Nafsul Mutmainna, come
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:55
			back to your Lord.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:58
			And he said, I go back to Salat,
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:00
			I stay away from the Haram, I go
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:01
			back to the straight path.
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:05
			That's how they feel, they connect to the
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:05
			Quran.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:09
			Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf, رضي الله عنه وارضاه
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:15
			bought some food one day and remarked, Mu
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:18
			'adh or Mus'ab Ibn Umair was murdered
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			and have, was better than me.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:24
			And all what we could found to shroud
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			him with was a single sheet.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			If we cover his head, his feet will
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:29
			be exposed.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			We cover his feet, his head will be
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			exposed.
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			Hamza was murdered and he was better than
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:36
			me.
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
			And all we could find to shroud him
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40
			was single sheet.
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			And now I have all this food, I
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:45
			have all this luxury life.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:51
			I'm afraid that this verse apply to me.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:52
			See the contemplation.
		
00:17:54 --> 00:18:00
			وَيَوْمَ يُعْرَضُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا عَلَىٰ النَّارِ أَذْهَبْتُمْ
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:10
			طَيِّبَاتِكُمْ فِي حَيَاتِكُمُ الدُّنْيَا وَاسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِهَا The people
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:13
			of the Hellfire, they will be told, you
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:17
			exhausted your pleasure during their worldly life and
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			enjoyed them in this worldly life.
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21
			And he was in tears.
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:24
			You need to connect to see, that's the
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			miraculous nature of the Quran.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			Look at the verse, when you speak about
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:29
			Allah, describe Allah.
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:37
			يَوْمَ هُمْ بَارِزُونَ لَا يَخْفَى عَلَىٰ اللَّهِ مِنْهُمْ
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:47
			مِّنْ شَيْءٍ لِمَنِ الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْمَ لِلَّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:51
			Everything belong that day to Allah.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			Then he describe himself by what?
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:56
			The one prevailing.
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:58
			I'm amazed by this description.
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:02
			The one and who is prevailing, overcome everyone,
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:03
			control everyone.
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:06
			So, one and he's so powerful that he
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:10
			control everything, he overcome everyone, he prevail over
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:10
			everything.
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:12
			But he's still one.
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:15
			It make me understand the nature of this
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:18
			God that he doesn't need any help, any
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:19
			support.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			By himself, he can take over the whole
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:22
			world.
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:24
			Subhanallah.
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:29
			And one of my favorite combination of names,
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:31
			Al-Ghafoor Al-Wadud.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			The one who forgives and the one who
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:33
			loves.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36
			Forgiving the affectionate.
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:39
			In surah 85 verse 14.
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:41
			And it's amazing.
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:43
			Just think about how the miraculous of this
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:43
			verse.
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:45
			You know what?
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			Sometimes when somebody do something bad to you
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:49
			and you forgive him.
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:51
			But you know what?
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:52
			I don't wanna see your face again.
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			And I forgive you, but I don't wanna
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:57
			deal with you anymore.
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:00
			I'm very good, I forgive you.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			But you were not friends.
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			No, no, no.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:07
			Allah forgive you after you violate his rights.
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:09
			After you commit crime.
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:11
			After you commit the haram.
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:14
			After all the sins that you have done.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:15
			After all this.
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:18
			Yet Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala willing to
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:18
			forgive you.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:19
			Not only forgive you.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:22
			And he will be so affectionate, so loving,
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:24
			so accepting.
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:26
			La ilaha illallah.
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:30
			You understand that?
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:31
			You'll be amazed.
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:33
			How many times you read the Quran?
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:34
			Al-Aleem al-Hakeem.
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			The most knowledgeable, the most wise.
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:39
			So you know that what Al-Hakeem also
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:42
			means the one who make rules, the one
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:44
			who make judgment, the one who decree things.
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:48
			So you know that whatever he decree, whatever
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:51
			he legislated for us, it comes out of
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:52
			absolute perfect knowledge.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:55
			And whatever he drew for us, it is
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:56
			for a great wisdom.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			Whatever he decreed for us, there is a
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:00
			great wisdom behind it.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:05
			That's why Al-Quran start with Alhamdulillahi Rabbil
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:08
			Alameen.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:12
			It was said there is a king, had
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:12
			a minister.
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:15
			A sultan who have a minister.
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:19
			This minister, everything happen he would say, I
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:20
			want you guys to say with me.
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:25
			Everything, anytime thing happen he would say, Alhamdulillah.
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:26
			What he would say?
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:28
			Come on guys.
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:30
			Good.
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:33
			So they went one day in a trip.
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:36
			So when they went to the trip, you
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:42
			know, the king was cutting an apple and
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:43
			he cut his finger.
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			He cut the tip of his finger.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:47
			And the blood start gushing.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:49
			So what the minister said?
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:51
			Good.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:53
			He said Alhamdulillah.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:54
			The king, the sultan got angry.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			Why did you do that?
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:59
			Now I'm gonna hold my, you know, I'm
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:00
			gonna shoot the arrows.
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			I'm not gonna be able to hunt well.
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:03
			And he was mad at him and he
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			said, put him in jail.
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			He went for the hunting on his horse.
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:11
			He was chasing some of the rabbits, whatever
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:12
			he was after.
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			He got lost and he was captured by
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:15
			his enemy.
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:18
			His enemy took him.
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:21
			And these enemy worship and idols.
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:25
			And he said, you enter this idol's sanctioned
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:25
			area.
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:27
			And you have to be sacrificed.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:29
			You have to be killed for that, for
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:30
			this violation.
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:33
			As a sacrifice for the idol.
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			They laid him down on this marble, big
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:37
			marble, shiny slab.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:38
			Get the knife.
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:42
			And their shaman came and their priest came
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			and they're about to sacrifice him.
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			And he said, stop, stop, stop the process.
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			This guy is a bad luck for our
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:48
			kingdom.
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:49
			Why?
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:52
			He said, there is something missing in his
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:52
			body.
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			The tip of his finger is missing and
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:56
			that's a bad luck.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:58
			Just let him go.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:04
			His whole way back to his kingdom saying
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:04
			what?
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:06
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:09
			He said, where is my dear friend?
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:10
			Where is my minister?
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:13
			He brought him out and he said to
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:16
			him, you know what, you're right, Alhamdulillah.
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			Tell me what happened to you inside jail.
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:19
			He said, what do you mean?
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			He said, must, because when I ordered them
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:26
			to take you to jail, you said, so
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:27
			what happened to you?
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:28
			That's what happened to me.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:29
			God saved me.
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:30
			What happened to you?
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:34
			He said, nothing, but I'm grateful to Allah.
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:36
			He said, tell me what?
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:40
			He said, your highness, I'm the only one
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:41
			have a horse like yours.
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:42
			I never leave your sight.
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:46
			If we were together, I'm not in jail,
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:49
			we're both captured by those people.
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:51
			They will let you go because you're missing
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:53
			your finger and I will be the sacrifice.
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56
			So Alhamdulillah that I was in jail.
		
00:23:58 --> 00:23:59
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:02
			The power of this Quran to start with
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:03
			this.
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:04
			It's miraculous.
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:08
			The way the Quran describe things and it
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:08
			can go.
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:14
			The parables, it's another area of showing the
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:16
			miraculous nature of the Quran.
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			And I'll give you one example.
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:23
			Example Allah give about the wicked, the wicked
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:24
			homes of Kufr.
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:33
			He said, وَإِنَّ أَوْهَنَ الْبُيُوتِ لَبَيْتُ الْعَنْكَبُوتِ لَوْ
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:39
			كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ And indeed the wickest of homes
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			is the home of the spider.
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:43
			In Surah Al-Ankabut.
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:48
			In some species, the spider, the females, kill
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:49
			the male after mating.
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:55
			And after its offsprings reach adulthood, they in
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			turn expel the mother out.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:01
			The wickest of homes.
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:06
			Yet Allah draws parable between this insect and
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			those who worship others beside Allah.
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:13
			This chapter, Surah Al-Ankabut, deal with trials
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:15
			in all its forms.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:20
			So therefore, what's the connection between trials and
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:20
			the spider?
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:22
			The spider web in particular.
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:28
			Numerous trials are like many strands of the
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:28
			spider web.
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:33
			And a person becomes entangled with them and
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:36
			cannot escape except with the help of Allah.
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:39
			What a beautiful example Allah giving us.
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:43
			A miraculous nature of the Qur'an.
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45
			In many parables, because of the time I'm
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			just skipping, but something you reflect upon.
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:51
			Look at Qur'an how it start the
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:52
			surah.
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:54
			There is two surahs in the Qur'an.
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			It start with the word وَيْلُ.
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:58
			Anybody knows what's the first one?
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:04
			وَيْلُ لِلْمُطَفِّفِينَ And the other one, وَيْلُ لِكُلِّ
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:08
			هُمَزَةٍ لُمَزَةٍ It's interesting.
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:13
			In Surah 104 and Surah 83, the first
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:13
			verse.
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:20
			Woe to every scorner and mocker.
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:22
			And woe to those who give less than
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:23
			due.
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:24
			Cheat.
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:27
			The first chapter is in the context of
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:29
			sanctity of people's wealth.
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:32
			And the second one in the context of
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:33
			the sanctity of people's honor.
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
			To show you how much of Qur'an
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:40
			put emphasis in the importance of protecting your
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:41
			wealth and your honor.
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:48
			Sometimes the miraculous comes in the Qur'an
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:50
			when you look at the context of the
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:51
			whole entire examples.
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:53
			Subhanallah.
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:56
			For instance, talk about fasting and in the
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:59
			middle there is mentioning of prayer and supplication.
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:03
			Because the dua while you fast, while you
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:05
			break your fast, while you make suhoor, while
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:08
			you're praying in taraweeh is more likely to
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:08
			be accepted.
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:14
			In Laylatul Qadr, look, tomorrow or after tomorrow
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:16
			I'll talk to you about Surah An-Nur.
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:20
			Allah talk about His light after talking about
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:24
			lowering your gaze and the connection.
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:27
			Talk about charity, then talk about wisdom.
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:30
			Because wise people will invest in the right
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:33
			investment in the akhira before they spend their
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35
			money in something that soon will perish.
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:39
			And so many things like that.
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:41
			It's amazing.
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:43
			When you look at the Qur'an, when
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:47
			Allah says about the story of the people
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:48
			of the trench.
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:50
			And that's the only time in the Qur
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:53
			'an Allah describe and give this description.
		
00:27:53 --> 00:28:02
			إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجِرِي
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:10
			مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ذَلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْكَبِيرُ That is
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:15
			the great winning, success.
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:19
			Do you know that the people of trench
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:20
			were completely wiped out?
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:22
			They're all killed.
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:23
			Where is the winning?
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:28
			Qur'an is miraculous when it comes to
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			the words, the description.
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:31
			What is the winning?
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:32
			What they attain?
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:33
			What great attainment?
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:35
			What the great thing they attain?
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:38
			This is the only time in the Qur
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:42
			'an that success is described in such way.
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:49
			This to show us the true success is
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:55
			in holding into one's principle until last breath.
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:59
			The true success in the akhira, not in
		
00:28:59 --> 00:28:59
			the dunya.
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:04
			And so many examples like this.
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:08
			One time I was thinking, Allah SWT said,
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:17
			إِنَّا عَرَضُنَا الْأَمَانَةَ عَلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالْجِبَالِ The
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:18
			amanah, the trust.
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:22
			We offer to the mountain, to earth, everybody
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:24
			declining, except us human, we carry it.
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:25
			What's amanah?
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:29
			Amanah means the religion, the deen, the sunnah,
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:33
			the Qur'an, the obligations of Islam, many
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:36
			different interpretation, but the most general one is
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:37
			the religion of Islam.
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:43
			So if you are Muslim, if you carry
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:47
			Islam in your heart, and you practice the
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:49
			religion, you are carrying this trust.
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:53
			Isn't that interesting?
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:56
			Amanah, trust.
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:58
			You know why?
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59
			Because if I give you something, and I
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:02
			trust you with something, that means I will
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:03
			ask you about it later.
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:06
			I will take it from you later.
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:10
			And you will be standing before Allah one
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:11
			day to be asked about it.
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:13
			It's a trust.
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:18
			Question, who do you give valuable things?
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:20
			Anybody in the street?
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:23
			Or someone that you trust?
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:24
			Someone trustworthy?
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:27
			Tell me.
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:30
			Trustworthy.
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:34
			If Allah bless you to be a Muslim
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:37
			and Muslimah today, that means you are in
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:39
			Allah's eyes a trustworthy.
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:43
			If Allah wake you up to pray fajr,
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:44
			if Allah guide you to be in the
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:47
			gathering to learn knowledge, if Allah bless you
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:49
			to memorize the Qur'an or some of
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:51
			the Qur'an, to bless you to put
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:53
			hijab, bless you to pray in jama'ah,
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:56
			bless you to hold the sunnah, it means
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:57
			you are in Allah's eyes a trustworthy.
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:05
			That something make you honored, feel privileged, feel,
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:10
			you know, strong, izzah, quwwah, strength.
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:18
			My brothers and sisters, sometimes the miraculous of
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:20
			the Qur'an has to do with the
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:20
			timing.
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:23
			It's amazing.
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:27
			And for example, when the Prophet shallallahu alaihi
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:30
			wasallam about to go to Medina, Allah revealed
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:32
			the verses about al-Mutaffifin.
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:35
			Because any state, in order for it to
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:37
			be strong, to be build in a strong
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:41
			foundation, after iman, after faith, it has to
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:43
			be based on a good economy.
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:46
			Economical principles and moral.
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:50
			That's amazing.
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:52
			How the Qur'an speak about the issue
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:55
			of economy, economic issues which is al-Mutaffifin
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:58
			talk about, to make sure that the economy
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:00
			of the city, new state they can establish,
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:02
			is have a good solid foundation.
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:05
			Because that's important to build the society.
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:09
			One of the first 10 surahs in the
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:12
			Qur'an, عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّةَ If I would say
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:13
			the first 5 surahs in the Qur'an,
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:14
			I'm not wrong.
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:18
			This surah came from the beginning.
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:19
			That's a miracle.
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:22
			That Allah choose this verse to be revealed
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:24
			in the beginning of Islam.
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:28
			Even though it has a reprimandation from the
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:30
			Prophet shallallahu alaihi wasallam, Allah reprimanding the Muhammad
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:33
			shallallahu alaihi wasallam, for the way he dealt
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:34
			with the blind person.
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:37
			But this surah came to tell from the
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:40
			beginning that this religion is about protecting the
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:41
			right of the weak.
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:50
			One of the miracle nature of this Qur
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:53
			'an that it comes to confirm what's in
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:53
			the previous book.
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:59
			All the main stories, all the main legislations,
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:02
			salah, zakah, charity, good manners, being good to
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:05
			parents, something register with the people of the
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:06
			book before us.
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:09
			And the Qur'an came to confirm that
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:10
			and to add more beauty to it.
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:13
			To the nature of God, the day of
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:17
			judgment, al-Qadr, angels, to know about the
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:18
			books and the messengers.
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:21
			All these principles are mentioned in the previous
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:21
			book.
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:23
			And the Qur'an came to confirm it.
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:33
			وَأَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ مُصَدِّقًا لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:42
			مُسَدِّقًا لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَمُهَيْمِنًا عَلَيْهِ
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:46
			To confirm what is the books before you.
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:48
			One of the most I will end with
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:51
			this point which is a little bit important
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:52
			and hopefully in the few minutes I have
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:54
			left to end with it.
		
00:33:55 --> 00:34:21
			Allah says وَأَنزَلْنَا
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:21
			إِلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ مُصَدِّقًا لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مُسَدِّقًا
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:25
			لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مُسَدِّقًا لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ Allah
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:29
			in this verse urge us and people before
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:33
			us and people after us everyone to come
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:36
			in pairs and singles to think and reflect
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:38
			upon the message of Muhammad ﷺ.
		
00:34:39 --> 00:34:41
			Just by thinking about the Qur'an and
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:43
			the message of the Qur'an you will
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:45
			know that this book is the words of
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:46
			Allah.
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:47
			Cannot be a human made.
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:49
			Cannot be made by human.
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:55
			Look, for example, Al-Quran speak about things
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:58
			today in modern days we're so proud of.
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:01
			We just now in modern days last hundred
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:05
			years we start talking about like the rights
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:09
			of minorities, the right of woman, the right
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:12
			of the weak, the right of the less
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:14
			fortunate, their rights.
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:18
			Al-Quran came in a time when Europe
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:23
			debating is our woman human or devil or
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:23
			animals.
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:28
			In France they said women are have the
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:30
			body of a human and a soul of
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:32
			a devil when the process almost 30 years
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:32
			old.
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:36
			That's what Church of France said at that
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:36
			time.
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:40
			The Arab used to bury her alive because
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:41
			they're ashamed of her.
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:48
			Al-Quran came to say Allah start with
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:49
			women before men.
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:52
			He gives whomever he wants females and males.
		
00:35:53 --> 00:35:59
			Al-Quran came to say when the little
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:02
			girl who buried alive will be asked in
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:02
			the Day of Judgment.
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:04
			I reflect upon this a lot.
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:07
			I said to myself when the girl will
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:09
			be asked in the Day of Judgment I
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:12
			thought the Quran will say when the criminal
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:14
			will be asked why did you bury her?
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:17
			But the verse now when the girl will
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:18
			be asked.
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:20
			You know why?
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:24
			Because this man buried her because he's ashamed
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:24
			of her.
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:28
			In the Day of Judgment Allah honor her
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:30
			by speaking to her and not speaking to
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:30
			him.
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:39
			Quran came to say Allah have given example
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:41
			for all the believing men and women.
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:43
			What are the example that we should follow?
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:44
			Two women.
		
00:36:46 --> 00:36:51
			The wife of Fir'aun and Maryam.
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:54
			A surah called Surah Nisa, women.
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:55
			Surah called Maryam.
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:57
			What an honor.
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:01
			Al-Quran came to speak about the right
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:02
			of everybody's religion.
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:06
			Al-Quran says you cannot compose anything to
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:07
			believe in religion.
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:17
			Allah says Allah said be
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:20
			good and kind to those who live with
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:20
			you.
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:23
			Those who do not fight you.
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:25
			Those who have not harmed you.
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:27
			Live in peace and tranquility with you in
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:28
			your society.
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:29
			With a multi-society.
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:40
			Allah said One of the mushrikeen ask for
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:41
			your safety.
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:42
			You grant him safety.
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:44
			You grant him security.
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:48
			Al-Quran came to speak about the right
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:49
			of the orphans.
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:50
			The right of the poor.
		
00:37:52 --> 00:37:55
			Al-Quran talk about how important to feed
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:55
			them.
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:56
			To take care of them.
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:02
			The people of hellfire are people who did
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:03
			not take care of the poor.
		
00:38:11 --> 00:38:15
			These verses are in Makki surahs and Madani
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:15
			surahs.
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:26
			And many many verses.
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:31
			Al-Quran came to establish a society focused
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:34
			not only in the right of the category
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:36
			of people like men and women and children
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:39
			or the weak or the poor or the
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:41
			less fortunate the orphan and so on.
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:42
			No.
		
00:38:42 --> 00:38:44
			But also focus on building the person as
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:45
			an individual.
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:48
			Make that balance.
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:50
			Al-Quran filled with verses.
		
00:38:51 --> 00:38:53
			Talk about how important that we deal with
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:55
			our souls as human.
		
00:38:55 --> 00:38:56
			We have a human nature.
		
00:38:57 --> 00:38:57
			We transgress.
		
00:38:58 --> 00:38:58
			We're ignorant.
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:00
			We can be angry.
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:02
			Al-Quran tell how to control that.
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:03
			How to balance that.
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:04
			We love this life.
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:09
			Al-Quran said, focus on the akhira and
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:11
			don't forget about your share from the dunya.
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:14
			Al-Quran talked to us to understand that
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:16
			we are made of a soul and a
		
00:39:16 --> 00:39:16
			body.
		
00:39:16 --> 00:39:19
			So we don't focus on materialistic things and
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:23
			we don't fulfill our souls, our spiritual needs.
		
00:39:24 --> 00:39:27
			Al-Quran said don't ever forget whatever success
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:28
			you have is from Allah.
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:31
			And also success come because of the effort
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:32
			that you put.
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:38
			Al-Quran recognized that we get angry.
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:44
			Allah does not like someone to speak bad
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:48
			or in a way except when you're abused.
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:52
			That's why Allah allowed you to seek revenge
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:56
			from those who killed someone related to you
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:58
			so they can go to court and be
		
00:39:58 --> 00:39:59
			executed.
		
00:39:59 --> 00:40:02
			Al-Quran talk about the importance of manners
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:08
			like and characteristic traits like sabr, like being
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:15
			grateful, being optimistic, being content, being merciful, being
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:16
			trustworthy.
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:36
			Those who waste, all these character traits, just
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:37
			read Surah Al-Isra.
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:40
			Comes to build a family.
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:45
			A strong tie between husband and wife.
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:48
			Telling that wife has her financial rights.
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:50
			You cannot touch her.
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:51
			You cannot abuse her.
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:53
			You treat her the same way you want
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:54
			to be treated.
		
00:40:57 --> 00:41:01
			Today we talk about language of love and
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:03
			we look to soap operas and you know
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:08
			Korean soap operas or western soap operas to
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:09
			talk about love and romance.
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:11
			Al-Quran talk about love.
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:21
			Al-Quran said that you live with good
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:24
			and if you divorce her and you separate
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:26
			you should be excellent to each other.
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:31
			Quran speak about the family, your parents and
		
00:41:31 --> 00:41:35
			you know the verses, your children, your relatives,
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:36
			your cousins.
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:41
			Al-Quran establishes a society that based on
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:41
			principle.
		
00:41:42 --> 00:41:45
			The best among you in society.
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:47
			Those who have taqwa.
		
00:41:47 --> 00:41:49
			A society that pure.
		
00:41:49 --> 00:41:51
			No indecency.
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:55
			A society that based on the sanctuary of
		
00:41:55 --> 00:41:55
			life.
		
00:41:58 --> 00:42:01
			A society that is based on a good
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:05
			moral ethic when it comes to business, trade.
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:13
			A society that will reconciliate when there is
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:15
			a fight between two groups.
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:20
			A society that based on no one mock
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:24
			other one being racist, being looked down upon
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:27
			them because of the race, color or anything
		
00:42:27 --> 00:42:28
			of that nature.
		
00:42:31 --> 00:42:34
			A society that based on spreading good and
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:35
			stopping evil.
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:45
			A society that based on a structure.
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:46
			That's why Al-Quran speak about how to
		
00:42:46 --> 00:42:47
			establish a state.
		
00:42:48 --> 00:42:50
			Allah says when it comes to establishing a
		
00:42:50 --> 00:42:52
			state, Al-Quran speak in details about things
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:53
			like that.
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:57
			Like for example, there is no dictatorship.
		
00:42:58 --> 00:42:59
			Al-Quran speak.
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:04
			Don't follow desires.
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:08
			Don't follow just whatever you know your desires.
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:10
			Follow what Allah have revealed to you.
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:15
			A state must be based on justice.
		
00:43:22 --> 00:43:25
			Fulfill people's rights and be just with people.
		
00:43:27 --> 00:43:30
			Al-Quran said that in the state, human
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:32
			people must be respected.
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:34
			The citizen must be respected.
		
00:43:37 --> 00:43:39
			We have honored the children of Adam.
		
00:43:40 --> 00:43:43
			Muslim and non-Muslim, young, old, rich, poor,
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:45
			powerful, not powerful.
		
00:43:45 --> 00:43:47
			From a big family, small family, doesn't matter.
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:52
			In a state, the punishment should be according
		
00:43:52 --> 00:43:53
			to the crime.
		
00:43:53 --> 00:43:55
			Not to exceed.
		
00:43:57 --> 00:44:01
			You cannot take someone or punish someone for
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:03
			someone else crime.
		
00:44:08 --> 00:44:18
			Allah says, When they are in power, they
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:19
			establish Salah.
		
00:44:19 --> 00:44:22
			They don't forget about Allah when they are
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:24
			powerful, when they are rich, when Allah open
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:27
			the doors for them to gain power and
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:28
			fame and wealth.
		
00:44:29 --> 00:44:31
			No, they still establish the Salah.
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:32
			They give the zakat.
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:35
			They spread goodness and stop evil.
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:38
			A state that is based on its right
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:40
			to defend itself.
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:47
			Those who seek to protect themselves, to fight
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:48
			back, it's their rights.
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:53
			Quran came to protect these five big principles.
		
00:44:55 --> 00:45:01
			Human rights, religion, honor, wealth, intellect.
		
00:45:02 --> 00:45:05
			And there is a punishment if these violated.
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:06
			Like a zina.
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:23
			My time is up, but
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:33
			many people ask about, what about the scientific
		
00:45:33 --> 00:45:34
			miracles in the Quran?
		
00:45:38 --> 00:45:40
			Let me make this point to you.
		
00:45:40 --> 00:45:42
			The Quran is not a book of science.
		
00:45:43 --> 00:45:44
			It's a book of guidance.
		
00:45:44 --> 00:45:46
			You have to keep that in mind.
		
00:45:46 --> 00:45:50
			But it might have information about nature, about
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:55
			space, about human being, about geography, about history.
		
00:45:57 --> 00:45:59
			Yes, it contains a lot of things like
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:00
			that.
		
00:46:00 --> 00:46:02
			Things that now in modern days we just
		
00:46:02 --> 00:46:02
			discover.
		
00:46:03 --> 00:46:05
			The uniqueness of these verses, the uniqueness of
		
00:46:05 --> 00:46:05
			these meanings.
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:06
			And it's a miracle.
		
00:46:07 --> 00:46:09
			Because the Prophet shall not be able to
		
00:46:09 --> 00:46:10
			know that.
		
00:46:10 --> 00:46:12
			Only when we get, we will be able
		
00:46:12 --> 00:46:14
			to see that when we have microscopes, telescopes
		
00:46:14 --> 00:46:15
			and so forth.
		
00:46:18 --> 00:46:19
			But in the end of the day, the
		
00:46:19 --> 00:46:21
			Quran is not a book when you want
		
00:46:21 --> 00:46:24
			to have medicine, when you look for history,
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:25
			when you look for geology, when you look
		
00:46:25 --> 00:46:31
			to understand geology or like the human bodies.
		
00:46:32 --> 00:46:33
			We don't go to the Quran necessarily.
		
00:46:35 --> 00:46:37
			If Allah tells us something, it's true.
		
00:46:38 --> 00:46:40
			But some people read it as it's a
		
00:46:40 --> 00:46:42
			book of medicine or a book of, you
		
00:46:42 --> 00:46:44
			know, a book of science.
		
00:46:44 --> 00:46:45
			It has science.
		
00:46:45 --> 00:46:46
			It has medicine.
		
00:46:47 --> 00:46:48
			It has history.
		
00:46:48 --> 00:46:50
			But that's not the focus of the Quran.
		
00:46:50 --> 00:46:51
			So keep that in mind.
		
00:46:51 --> 00:46:54
			Two, don't ever mix between theory and fact.
		
00:46:55 --> 00:46:58
			Don't mix a theory, a scientific theory.
		
00:46:58 --> 00:47:01
			Don't base and say the Quran proved this.
		
00:47:01 --> 00:47:03
			Because this theory can change.
		
00:47:03 --> 00:47:04
			Facts are facts.
		
00:47:06 --> 00:47:08
			We can make that connections.
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:12
			Also make sure to understand that whenever somebody
		
00:47:12 --> 00:47:14
			talk about the miracle of the Quran, make
		
00:47:14 --> 00:47:16
			sure that the words that was used to
		
00:47:16 --> 00:47:21
			prove this miracles or scientific discovery, this verse,
		
00:47:22 --> 00:47:24
			the meaning is an Arabic language acceptable.
		
00:47:25 --> 00:47:29
			Not somebody invented a meaning for it, which
		
00:47:29 --> 00:47:32
			doesn't make any sense in Arabic language, just
		
00:47:32 --> 00:47:35
			to make it sounds like goes along with
		
00:47:35 --> 00:47:37
			what the scientific community is saying today.
		
00:47:38 --> 00:47:38
			You can't do that.
		
00:47:41 --> 00:47:42
			I don't know if there are also things
		
00:47:42 --> 00:47:46
			that these days, similar to these principles and
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:49
			guidelines, we understand the concept of numbers in
		
00:47:49 --> 00:47:49
			the Quran.
		
00:47:50 --> 00:47:52
			People come up with these numbers.
		
00:47:52 --> 00:47:53
			First of all, I would like to tell
		
00:47:53 --> 00:47:56
			you, many people came up, three books, very
		
00:47:56 --> 00:47:58
			famous, wrote about the miracle numbers in the
		
00:47:58 --> 00:47:59
			Quran, and others.
		
00:48:00 --> 00:48:04
			They filled with mistakes, filled with wrong, you
		
00:48:04 --> 00:48:06
			know, information.
		
00:48:06 --> 00:48:09
			They tell you the number of time it
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:11
			was mentioned this time, it means that time.
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:13
			And in reality, it's not accurate.
		
00:48:14 --> 00:48:14
			It's not correct.
		
00:48:15 --> 00:48:18
			The number of the time in dunya was
		
00:48:18 --> 00:48:19
			mentioned equal to the akhirah.
		
00:48:20 --> 00:48:21
			That's not solid to be accurate.
		
00:48:21 --> 00:48:23
			And also, so many times these numbers means
		
00:48:23 --> 00:48:25
			nothing, and it doesn't have any miracle in
		
00:48:25 --> 00:48:26
			it.
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:31
			So, al-shayateen was mentioned in the same
		
00:48:31 --> 00:48:32
			number of time al-malaika.
		
00:48:32 --> 00:48:34
			Okay, so what's so miraculous about that?
		
00:48:37 --> 00:48:37
			Okay.
		
00:48:38 --> 00:48:40
			Or for example, the word jahr, out loud,
		
00:48:41 --> 00:48:43
			and the word sir, mentioned 16 times.
		
00:48:43 --> 00:48:44
			Okay.
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:48
			But this non-miraculous nature in it.
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:50
			Iblis was mentioned 11 times.
		
00:48:50 --> 00:48:50
			Okay.
		
00:48:51 --> 00:48:54
			So, also when you talk about a miraculous
		
00:48:54 --> 00:48:56
			number, it has to be really something very
		
00:48:56 --> 00:48:58
			significant, or tell you something that is, it
		
00:48:58 --> 00:49:00
			doesn't require any, it doesn't lead to any
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:01
			actions.
		
00:49:02 --> 00:49:05
			Like, for example, ta' was mentioned 27 times
		
00:49:05 --> 00:49:06
			in the Quran.
		
00:49:10 --> 00:49:12
			Oh, sorry, 27 times ta' was mentioned in
		
00:49:12 --> 00:49:13
			surat an-Naml.
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:15
			Surat an-Naml start with ta' seen.
		
00:49:16 --> 00:49:18
			Okay, so what's, what's the point?
		
00:49:22 --> 00:49:23
			And the surah is number 27.
		
00:49:24 --> 00:49:24
			Okay.
		
00:49:25 --> 00:49:26
			But what that leads to?
		
00:49:26 --> 00:49:26
			Nothing.
		
00:49:27 --> 00:49:29
			So, all these just, you know, lata'if.
		
00:49:29 --> 00:49:31
			You know, it's not a miracle, but it's
		
00:49:31 --> 00:49:34
			like unique things, it's cool things, cool facts,
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:35
			fun facts, you know.
		
00:49:35 --> 00:49:36
			But it's not a miracle.
		
00:49:37 --> 00:49:39
			We're talking about miracles, something that move the
		
00:49:39 --> 00:49:40
			heart to accept.
		
00:49:41 --> 00:49:43
			Show that this is words of Allah.
		
00:49:44 --> 00:49:46
			Thank you very much, looking forward to continue
		
00:49:46 --> 00:49:49
			with you the whole entire weekend, inshallah, with
		
00:49:49 --> 00:49:50
			you guys.
		
00:49:50 --> 00:49:51
			Thank you very much.
