Team robotica to all of you in sha Allah Tada we are going to
continue on our journey endeavoring to strengthen our
relationship with the Quran. And for this lesson today alone I'm
going to depart slightly from the fer we'll come back to that
tomorrow. And in sha Allah to Allah read more of the remaining
parts of the Kitab adapt elaborated Quran. Today I wanted
to take a go into a little bit more detail
and talk about what was called a TIFF, Cyril II shoddy and elusive
interpretation and in general, that you have
that a tafsir that is based upon transmission
Tafseer been met thought and then you have a tough set of Iraqi
which you could translate as a scholarly interpretation. And then
you have what's called a tiff Ciudad de Shaadi, it's an elusive
interpretation. It's an implied or indirect reference to an inner
meaning or even a more esoteric meaning.
And of course did the aroma have given conditions as we will see
for a valid tiff cod shoddy and, and then on another hand, it's a
type of Tafseer variety in a sense, but it tends to be that
implied or indirect, so it could also be considered in that
category and then inshallah Tada we will get back to you man was
that his treatment of the hadith of our prophesy sent about
manifested by the Quran Bira ye whoever explains the Quran or
interprets the Quran with his opinion and so that the definition
that they that they give the Tafseer Alicia is as follows. Who
would we know I added Quran and Amanda read miles Robinho be
Moqtada Shafia Todd Harley Davidson look, you know, Jim
bainham, I've been a lot and Murat Vennela had and Murad.
So it is to interpret verses of the Quran and Kadeem in a
particular way, that is not restricted to its literal meaning,
by virtue of a subtle ishara indication and illusion, that is,
comes to the heart of the unbabel Sudak. The possessors of pure
hearts who are upon a path of spiritual wayfaring. And that you
can join our union, that between that particular understanding in
between the outward meaning and so that this is not something that is
new, this is something that took place from the time of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And the following story is a story
that takes place with an old woman, a hot dog, and sitting
below him and a bass who was that tells you man, a Quran, the
interpreter of the Quran,
and some of the shoe, some of the elders that fought in the Battle
of better. So in the story and saying, Omar, as we know, used to
be very intelligent, and sometimes he would do certain things for
other reasons that people weren't necessarily aware of. And in this
case, he wanted people to know the great stature of cinema to liven
up bass so that they could take from him and benefit from him. And
so he comes into the presence. And he's with some of the chef of
better some of the elders default in the battle brothers, some of
the great companions. And some of them said, Why did they bring this
young man because of the live bass was still young at the time? Why
did they bring Why did he bring this young man here with us? And
that
it would come clear when cinnamon hottub that he asked, What do you
all say about the verse either journal sort of line will fit what
I ate and nurtured hold on the feed in the light of water.
And sewers and Mossad. When Allah Tada says, When the victory of
Allah and opening comes and you see people entering into the deen
of Allah in hordes to the end of until he finished the sawed off a
subject we haven't got a beaker will still fit and new Kana that
so until the end of the setup, and then that they just said, the word
meaning of the verse which is great. They said we've been
commanded to praise Allah and to seek his forgiveness if we've been
given victory, or if we receive an opening.
And that some of them said Leonard three Oh Loomio called about no
machine, or some of them's either, so we don't know or they didn't
say anything. And then that St. Omar said to him and I'm vas, you
have an abbess academic article is this is Is this what you say?
And then even our best said no. Hard for magical What do you say a
quote? What a judo Rasulullah sallallahu Sana, ie. This verse
indicates the
imminence of the passing of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam
and he says them hola hola hola either Janos Allah will fit that's
Maccha for Zakka Allah Mota Jack, Allah was letting the prophesy Sam
know that when the Fatah of Mecca happens and I eat that these
verses referring to the Fatah Mecca, the opening of Mecca, he
said then this is the sign of your that your appointed term is near
the sub that we have ended up Vika will still fit who? So glorify the
Praises of your Lord in Hokkaido, Baba indeed that he is ever fit,
forgiving. And then Omar says, Madam woman ilimitado I only know
what you know about this is what I know about this verse. And it's
not denying the outward meaning. But what this story teaches us is
that the likes of Ivanov VAs had another understanding. The outward
meaning is there, but he understand something deeper. He
understood that an E Shada, something that was indicated by
the verse that not everyone else would necessarily pick up on. It
would require someone who is adept in interpretation of the Quran.
And of course, could that had a pure heart to receive meanings.
And we should keep in mind that when Allah to Allah says law Yama,
so Eldon molto Harun is that only those who are pure will touch it
outwards, that relates to holding the most half in a state of would
do, and really touching the meanings with your heart,
touching the meanings with your heart, the prerequisite of that is
that you'd be in a state of purity, is that your heartbeat
pure to have access to those meanings. And so this is a type of
tafsir that existed, even in the earlier period. And the bad rap
that the tafseer the shy sometimes has gotten is because of people's
misunderstandings, where people think that when they point to this
meaning, this inner meaning or this elusive interpretation, that
somehow it conflicts with the outward meaning. And as we will
see, this is one of the prerequisites that indeed does not
conflict with the outward meaning. And the group called the volcania.
The bottom knights, the way they went astray, is where they said is
that the outward meaning wasn't intended to begin with. And they
believe the inward meaning was the only meaning and the primary
meaning the primary meaning and the only meaning. And according to
one of the interpretations of the Hadith that we mentioned yesterday
about the Quran having a lot and Ivatan, an outward dimension, an
inward dimension had a limit, and a multilateral or mandala or a
rising point or a vantage point.
According to some interpretations, some of these one of these these,
in some ways could refer to and open up the door for this type of
interpretation of Allah subhanaw taala his book.
And so
the scholars then mention four conditions for the acceptance of a
tiff to a shot. So for an elusive interpretation to be valid, there
must be four conditions. And he says, The first is Elia 10, alpha
male Hartman mountain and northern el Karim. And so there is no
disagreement with the plain meaning of the verse. Okay, so
there's no it doesn't contradict the meaning. Okay, and so that,
for instance, if someone would understand from the words of ALLAH
to Allah, what will Rebekah have yet to actually attain? Okay, that
worship your Lord, until certainty comes to you. So then someone
would say that no, okay, once that hard to hear is the heart of a
liar. Once I attain, attain certainty, I no longer have to
worship, it was the builder, right? That we completely reject
that, because that goes against the sunnah of our problems I said,
that goes against what we believe in the Sharia. And what we are
taught to believe by way of creed is that our Prophet sallallahu
Sallam that followed the shooting until the day he met his Lord, and
this is an obligation upon everyone. It's not a matter of
worshipping until you reach a certain stage and receive an open
and then you can stop but I wouldn't be That's heresy to
believe that we believe you have to worship Allah had to tickle
your pain until certainty comes to you ie death. You have to worship
till death comes to you. So if you would, that describe in an
unexplained search into here as an opening, that would be incorrect.
If you mean by that, that then you stop. Okay. And that of course, we
know that if you do worse
job and you worship sincerely, you might receive an opening, and you
might become from the Olia hat or herba, and become beloved to Allah
Tada. But at that point, it doesn't mean that you leave your
worship, it doesn't mean you leave everything you did to get up that
you have to keep that until you die. So this is an example of an
invalid Tafseer shot, if you mean by that, that you're just
worshiping in order to attain an opening, and then you no longer
have to worship. So the first says is that it not be incongruent with
the outward meaning. And the second condition is Allah, you
know, what I'd want to do, then a lot, you don't claim that the
inner meaning the elusive interpretation, is the only
intended meaning of the verse know, that you recognize is that
verses have a multitude of meanings, they have different ways
of understanding some there's dimensions of meanings, and the
outward has an outward meaning and it has to align with the inward
meaning. And then the inward meaning has an inward meaning,
however, that you don't claim that the inward meaning is the only
meaning. And the third is that Allah ukoln
wheeling by Eden siphon, and so is that, that it not that the meaning
of what it is that you're interpreting is sound in and of
itself. So it can't just be some Farfetch meaning that is not
sound. So for instance,
that when Allah to Allah says and sorts of ankle boots, or when
Allah llama and mercy Nene indeed that Allah is with Lamin Musa
halacha that's on the mat the with those who show sand people of
excellence. And so that if someone tried to make the word lemma I fit
in the MALDI, like lemma means to gleam. So in Allaha Lemma and
merci Nein, that's an invalid interpretation. Because here, that
lemma is a not a word that is transitive, it can't have a method
B, it means just to simply gleam. So that's an incorrect usage. So
at that lamb, there cannot be a verb. That's a part of like lemma,
from the verb, it has to be a particle llama on merci Nein.
Okay, and then the fourth condition condition
is Hola, Yokohama and SHINee. Au Alkalyn. And so there can't be
anything in the Shinya or anything according to that rational
thinking that conflicts with it. So if any interpretation that's
that's associated conflicts with the Sharia, are conflicts with the
AKA, then it can't be a valid interpretation. And I mentioned
that there's four, but then they sometimes went to a fifth, and you
go no Shahad, Cherie, you are you do is that there are that other
that foundations, foundational meanings in the sacred law, that
also point to a similar meaning. And that goes kind of goes hand in
hand with the one that came before it. So, with those conditions,
though, you can have an acceptable interpretation of Allah subhanaw
nos book of a meaning that points have a meaning that is pointed to
have a meaning that is indicated is a Tafseer a shoddy is an
elusive interpretation. And there are from the Tafseer, literature,
certain tafseer that have these types of meanings in them, for
instance, the tafsir to Lucy is one of them. tafsir of a man a
salami is one of them, that Tafseer of Imam a to study is
another one as a Tafseer of Imam and push at this point after the
shout out. So, there are different to fasciae that they mentioned
that contain these meanings. And then we will just mentioned a few
examples here.
No, so for instance, in no luck or our own Kadeem, and that indeed
that it is a noble Quran, one of the righteous said about this is
that what is the meaning of cudham here? So normally we think of it
as the Noble Quran, which is definitely a valid meaning. For a
job this scholar said, Vienna Magna Carta, Makoto ki nang Katha
tema, Yachty minute Allume
mean that the Quran is also kidding, in terms of all of the
different knowledge that it gives when you approach it and you
reflect upon it.
Okay.
And then
As others mentioned, this is from your alma mater Abdullah bin
hydrocele hace in relation to the words of ALLAH Kulu che in
Harlequin Illa wotja Everything is perishing. collusion, Halak,
everything is perishing Illa wotja And the primary meaning is that
except His Countenance subhanho wa Taala everything is perishing. And
then another meaning of the words here is not transit not the
meaning that normally we think of it as the countenance of watchful
law. But watch could also refer to a thing an aspect of the thing. So
he says her into cooler shell haha Jehanne, watch United Hakoda watch
whenever the Hulk everything has a direction, it's directed towards
Allah and directed towards creation. He said that the
direction of that thing that is towards creation is definitely
perishing. Right, he says is that that which is directed towards
Allah remains so when you do a good deed,
and the aspect of that good deed, that stems from your sincerity,
even though that good deed goes, what remains is that sincerity of
that good deed ie the reward that you get for it after because it
was for the sake of Allah to Allah, collusion, haidakhan
Illawarra, other ie the direction of that thing towards Allah
subhanaw taala ie Allah subhanaw taala accepting that from you, and
preserving that for you.
And then another example, that is from in the words of ALLAH to
Allah, with Cora Bucha is in the seat. And you translate as
remember your Lord, when you forget.
And one meaning of that is is the obvious meaning that if you fall
into sin, if you just notice, remember Allah
another meaning of that is a and Nikka II then the seats massive
auto book, the character of bugged Aurora 10 Is the law man mineral
88 will surely Elissa another minute that is is what caught up
Bucha II then a seat and remember your Lord when you have forgotten
so in other words, true remembrance comes when you
forgotten everything else.
And so you're not pulled by the Siwa everything other than Allah
towards it, where your heart is in the state of remembrance of Allah
Tada. So that's a higher meaning what caught up Bucha II then a
seat from your Lord, you're really remembering your Lord, when you
forgotten all else.
And similar is is religion in surah Taha well Kima salata, Lee
decree and establish the prayer for my remembrance.
And so here you could translate that you could refer to leave
Vickery so that you can remember me, Vic Edie, the Kurdish
remembrance Edie my remembrance, but you could also
that
that say, Well Khaimah salata, Lee Dickey D and establish the prayer
for my remembrance, ie my remembrance of you.
So to be mentioned by Allah is higher than being us mentioning
him, and we should still mention him, but that meaning as possible,
and Allah says and in the prophesy centum Yanni narrates in a hadith
glitzy Mundaka if enough Sedaka if enough, see, whoever mentions me
in his self, I will mention him or haka, and there are other examples
that they give. And if an ambassador was known to
also interpret the verse and sort of the shout out to Kaluga, Kathy
saggi Dean, and you're moving about in the loins of those
prostrating, there is an outward meaning dimension to that. But
then, the inner meaning there is that he took it as a proof of the
purity of the prophesy CEMs lineage. The fact that you moved
about in the loins of saggi. Dean, they were prostrate I II, model
theists, who worshiped Allah in the most pure of all lineages,
back to that Adam idea salatu salam. So these are just examples
and there are many more there could be given. But the key is
here is that this is a part of our tradition and there's conditions
and the way that we access the inward in our deen is from the
outward, we access the inward from the outward and this is why some
of them say that the medulla or the product, the rising point
which indicates inspiration or the mandala, which indicates a vantage
point, is from the vantage point of the outward. Do we have access
to the inward
And so anything that contradicts the outward aspects of our deen
has to be rejected. But if we put the outward in its place and
someone strives through worship and reflection and ALLAH inspires
someone within an additional meaning. This is something that
the early might have accepted and with the conditions that were
mentioned, may Allah subhanaw taala give us Tofik and give us
openings in his book your automata Amin and less is to finish Ramadan
strongly in the very best of ways and give us Tofik in all of our
affairs will sell a lot as in Mohammed and iPod so be Salam, Al
Hamdulillah
