Allah
Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala
Rasulillah while earlier he was Sotheby woman why hola Bismillah
insha Allah to Allah we will get right into our study of the next
interact of Quranic recitation. According to Imam Al Ghazali at
all the Latina and Han whenever I interviewed him if it during Amin
so the seven etiquette or interactive Quranic recitation is
what he calls a cease
and you need a phrase to translate this Toxis is essentially applying
the Quranic address to oneself.
In other words, whenever you hear Allah subhanaw taala address,
someone his creation in general or certain groups within his creation
specifically, still you apply it to your own self you bring to
heart as if you are the one being addressed. And this will come
clear as we move through this beautiful light data. So he says
about it well and your Khedira and holding Maqsood we clearly fit up
into the Quran. So this is when the one reciting the Quran brings
to mind that he is the one intended by that particular
address in the Quran. Fatah we translate as address, ie that
particular verse, that is we bring to mind that it is speaking to you
as an individual. So then he goes into more detail for in semi Umbra
and oh Nyan so that if you hear a command, or a prohibition, called
the nobleman, he meant more, he brings to mind that he is the one
being told not to do something, or he is the one being commanded to
do something. When sent me out what I don't know why he didn't if
he hears a promise or a warning flick admittedly that he cut.
Likewise, it's the same state, he brings to mind that he is the one
being promised something if he does something, he is the one
being warned from doing something. And this is very important. We
should not think about other people in relation to this. Yes,
that we need to have clarity. And there are certain things that we
see other people doing. So having intellectual clarity that people
are doing right or people are doing wrong such that we want to
avoid it. That's important. But with each verse, each address in
the Quran, each command each prohibition,
each promise, each warning we want to apply to ourselves.
So then he says when see me because I said our lien will NVR
if we hear about the stories that come in the Quran about the people
who came before us, or stories that relate to the prophets, I had
him in a summer of animal food. He said, We know that the purpose of
learning these stories is not just to have casual conversation. Some
of that really is to talk at night. They're not meant to just
be a part of casual conversation where we just speak about the
stories and an abstract sense distant from bringing them into
our lives. This is not what is intended by them. When I'm on
Maqsood, Leah, Tabitha bear, the purpose of Allah to add in giving
us those stories is so that you and I can learn a lesson from
them. Well yeah, how will you hold mentor if he may act as relay and
we learn from those manifold lessons that which we are in need
of phenomena for certain for Quran, Allah will see Aqua Leafa
ad hoc in Salalah. And I just didn't want to, there is no story
in the Quran. Except that in Allah telling us that story, there is a
benefit for the Prophet himself SallAllahu sallam, and by
extension his entire room.
And he says what he's about to call call it out. This is why
Allah to Allah says man with a b2b for ADEQ to make your heart firm
couldn't know Casa Alikum and Russell man who's a b2b for adic
to make your heart firm so you'll cut the robbed and Allah youth a
bit for other we may also Allah him in our wallet and via so we
bring to heart we bring to mind that Allah will make our heart
strong in firm upon this Deen when we hear the stories of those who
came before us, we hear the stories of the NVR and the
prophets, and we hear how they will support him on either how
patient they were, when they were being harmed.
when they're being mistreated, when they're being persecuted how
patient they were, how steadfast They were, how constant they were,
in their belief and in their worship. What's about them to
Dean, how firm they were in their religion, linty rowdiness the
light either waiting for the victory of Allah, waiting for the
victory of Allah, the victory of Allah we'll come. But it's not
going to come when we want it to come. What we should be
preoccupied with is doing what we need to be doing. So the victory
of Allah will come. And in relation to us, we should be
giving victory to Allah and his messenger in our own lives,
specifically, in relation to the state of our hearts, and then
outwardly in relation to the various states that are happening
around us how we control ourselves in our interactions in the way
that we uphold the rights that those that were responsible for
have over us.
So then he goes on to say, Well, okay, follow your calendar hada.
Well, of course, anima and Zara onesie Rasulullah sallallahu
sallam, right and the
only zero, so the law is solid. I sent him later Sula, he Hasa. And
so that how could we not extend these meanings to our own selves?
When we know that the Koran was not only revealed to the prophets,
I send them for the prophesy center? Yes, him first and
foremost, but by extension, his OMA all of those who believe in
Him, but then of course, all of humanity. So he says better Shiva
and will hurt and Ramadan Odin Alameen. No Quran was revealed as
she fat, a healing
and as Hooda guidance as Rama, mercy as Nora and light that allow
me to all the words.
And if people do not see that, then we have to get to the bottom
of why they don't see that in Allah's book. If people are not
experiencing that, when they interact with Muslims, then we
have to see what has gone wrong. If people's opinion of our deen is
anything other than that, then there's a mistake, something's
wrong. And that problem has to be fixed.
When people read the Quran and they're exposed to the book of
Allah to Allah, they're exposed to our deen they're exposed to
Muslims. This is what they should come to. They should see in the
presence of Muslim she fat healing has done guidance with Muslims
there should be Rama, mercy and nor light.
And if there's not, there's something wrong with that
individual and the way they are in relation to the revelation and put
it into practice.
When he that ICA I'm not allowed to honor the CAFA Toby Shockley,
Nick Mittal keytab This is why I love Todd has commended everyone
to show gratitude for the blessing of the book. And he quotes a
number of different verses here for calling it out. Allah says
worth Kudo nettement Allah Alikum proclaim mentioned the blessing of
Allah upon you
know I'm not entirely communicate I would hokhmah and what He has
revealed to you from the book and the Wisdom and Allah Tada says
luck. Enza Alikum keytab and fie the critic whom Allah has sent
down a book to you fie the currycomb and you could translate
that to remind you, just as you could translate it in it is your
glory you're mentioning.
And Allah Tada says one's Enza elago they currently do but you
know Nasima knows Delilah him. We have sent down the vicar, the
reminder in order that you may clarify to people what has been
revealed to them. New Xena la him, this is for the prophesy centum by
extension his own mind for all people that he ended up alone in
SEM Thurlow home This is how Allah shows peeper people their true
state of faith.
It who owns a lake I'm gonna be calm. Follow that which has been
revealed to you from your Lord High Level saw openness this Koran
is a means for insight for people wooden Rama and a source of
guidance in mercy Lea Coleman up noon, for those who have certainty
how to be on an * This is a clarification for people will hold
on and guidance will either turn in with a cane and an admonition
for the people of Taqwa the pious. So this indicates to us that the
Quran was sent as a murse
See as a source of healing to all people,
and he went into that detail so that you and I can then be able to
intellectually understand how it is that we can relate every
command and prohibition in every giving I'm glad tidings in warning
to our own selves. We the Casa de Mille hitop Jaime illness and if
all people through the code IMAK discourse through it the Quranic
address was intended for called Casa de la heard then indeed,
individuals will also be intended if it's intending everyone, then
obviously it's addressing the individual as well for how they'll
warhead I will call it Maqsood from Allah when he sat in a nurse
the one reciting is one of those intended so why is this person so
concerned about all other people feel you will cut the end no
homework soon. We should bring the heart that we are the ones
intended
and so you have a all people yeah you Anas oh people sometimes the
Quran addresses people very generally. Yeah lol kita oh people
of the book. And then yet you Alina Avenue. Oh you who believe
there are different specific addresses in the Quran. But even
when Al Kitab is being addressed, even when all other people are
being addressed, still for believers, we should see ourselves
being addressed tilaka and modern called harlot llama, cassava.
Welcome, Monica subtheme. That OMA those people are gone. They will
have what they earned and you will have what you earned. And we need
to take lessons from the stories of the past. And we learn about
different responses that people have to different circumstances
that they're in. And some of them were pleasing to Allah and some of
them were displeasing. We need to learn the stories, we need to
learn and listen to those addresses very carefully to see if
something is being called out. And a particular individual or
particular people or a particular adherent to a particular religion
of those who came before us. What was that tendency that is being
called out? And is there a parallel? Is there a corollary for
that in relation to our own practice of our own Deen?
That's really what is meant by this. The point is not to just
lambaste the people who came before us, judgment belongs to
Allah subhanho wa taala. We believe in things as associate
believed and but most importantly, when we read, the people who came
before us and the stories of those who are allowed to add or
destroyed or the stories of those that Allah subhanaw taala rebukes
so that you and I don't fall into the same thing.
And so regardless of the address you and I apply it to our own
selves, we are the one intended by that. I II, Allah is addressing us
as individuals,
in think about when we read a lot to read his book, if we really
want that level of awareness and understanding.
We've already talked about before realization of the greatness of
divine speech, exalting the one speaking, maintaining presence of
heart contemplating those meanings, striving to understand
them, avoiding all of the preventatives of understanding,
and then Allah speaking to you,
speaking to you
think about how that would strengthen our relationship in the
Quran. If we could implement this interact,
Allah is speaking to you, he's speaking to me.
And in the end, yes, it is. Sometimes necessary to speak out
against wrong other people are doing in society. But most
importantly, we should be worried about our own selves. Where are we
with our Lord? Where are we with implementing the message of the
Quran?
And we start by recognizing that the Quran is a reminder, it is
guidance, it is mercy, it is healing. So let's open up our
minds and listen to it and learn how that is. And so our minds and
our hearts so that we know that Allah, we start by knowing that
Allah is addressing us individually. It's for you and I
to draw nearer to him. subhanho wa taala.
And there might be certain things we don't understand in the Quran.
There might be certain things by virtue of the way that we live in
the modern world that hmm, you might have a question regarding
ask a qualified scholar and how many law increasing there's more
more people that can give good answers.
Two questions that people might have. You're going to this is
going to be the case we live 1400 plus years after the Prophet
Muhammad Hassan lives and many of us especially those living in
Western countries are trapped in a modern lens and it's hard to see
outside of it and requires an extreme amount of religious
maturity and intellectual maturity and age that will enable us to do
that. Ask questions, but recognize Allah is addressing us individual
and make an intention to put every verse of the Quran into practice
in a way that is pleasing to Allah subhanho wa Taala
so that he quotes a verse quality out of how you lay your head on
the court and on the own little conveyor he woman below and this
Quran has been revealed to you so that was it. I may warn you and
whoever it really whoever it reaches, woman villa, and whoever
it reaches
Khalid Mohammed bin cob and a quarter of the men Bella whole
Quran fuck endemic hello hello as whoever the Quran is reached, it
is as if that Allah has spoken to him.
And even multiple Ray mentioned this statement in his tafsir.
And when we hear the words of ALLAH, it's as if Allah has spoken
to us for Kanima Kelim Hola.
So what do we do with the Quranic message then? And look how
important this inner etiquette is. And he's going to go a little bit
further now. When caught that adapting, so if we bring this to
heart and mind, I eat that Allah is addressing us speaking to us.
Let me attack a deracinated caught on camera. He won't simply just
read about the Koran or study the Quran for the sake of studying the
Quran. There are people that study the Koran for the sake of studying
the Quran, there are people that have academic careers off of
studying the Quran, they might not even be Muslim.
And there are Muslims who studied the Quran for various reasons, but
they oftentimes might be those who just studied the Quran but they
don't read the Quran and recite the Quran with the intention of
putting into practice in being the way that a lot too don't want us
to be.
And this is really what he's saying here. We shouldn't just
study the Quran and that's it. And that make this the only thing that
is that we do Yes. Learn the Quran. Learn the sciences of the
Quran, learn the words of Arabic that are in the Quran, Val yaka,
yaka abd Kedah Mola, who led category later Morocco Yama,
Moqtada, read it, the way that a servant should read the book of
his lord of his master, who wrote this book for him, so that he can
reflect deeply upon it and act, according to it.
This is how the Sahaba were, they read the Quran at night, to
implement it by day. They read the Quran at night to remind
themselves of how it is that they should be before their Lord. And
the of all, of course, our Prophet Muhammad. So listen, first and
foremost,
he implemented the Quranic message in a way that no one after him
ever would sell a lie sinner.
He was a walking Quran Salalah Hadees. And what an amazing
description. This ad she gave us about our Prophet satellites, and
he was a walking Quran. And that's why he's Sierra, his life is a
Tafseer of the Quran, ie how it is that you and I can put the Quran
into practice. It's embodied in the way of our Prophet so I said
what a blessing to have the Quran and to have him and to have his
Hadith and to have his CRO, his statements solid liason into his
life, so that we can find guidance and an end, bring it into our own
lives.
And he says what he that he could call about the Buddha. This is why
some of the scholars said how the Koran rasa ala Tattenham and gooty
Robina Isaiah or Hoda, this Quran or a satin in here it's like a
message that has come to us from our Lord that has it in his
neighborhood covenants. Net that the Buddha said a lot that we
should be reflecting upon in prayers when asked if Allah Hey
Phil Hello Art and we think deeply upon them in states of isolation
alone with no one else around one another have a thought was similar
to that, and that we implement them and acts of obedience through
sunna's that we learned from our Prophet Muhammad Salah laid out is
Have you said no
and someone who recites the Quran in the way that it was that he is
describing. His relationship with the Quran will be intimate with
his relationship with the Quran we won based upon love and longing
and based upon true belief, where we hasten to do what our Lord
tells us to do to avoid what the Lord has of what is to avoid, to
be where our Lord has told us to be to never be where our Lord has
told us not to be. This is the way the circuit and then he says, what
kind of magic even deny your code the great early scholar and that
aesthetic in pious man of a Santa Monica Medina, he used to say
Mazar Quran V. Kuru becoming Al Quran. What has the Quran
cultivated in your hearts, oh people of the Quran, in the Quran,
Ravi and Whitman. The Quran is the spring of the believer come and
elevate, there'll be at all just as rain is the spring of Earth.
Rain comes down to what happens foliage comes out grass, and all
types of herb ridging greenery grow plants grow trees grow,
trees, Blossom, bushes, Blossom, all kinds of things happen. And he
says this is the way that we should be able to Quran. When we
recite it, it cultivates in our hearts, the highest of meanings,
the highest of stations, the highest virtues that are pleasing
to Allah subhanho data. We'll call it Qatada. La mujer is our how to
how to go to la cama Vizio knocks on one of the early great
commentators on the Quran, Allah Tada are the Allahu Anhu. He said,
no one will spend time with the Quran literally sit with the
Quran, except that when he stands, he will leave with either Ziad or
Luxan increase or decrease Carlota and equals the verse Who was she
