Yahya Rhodus – Reflections on Surah Ya Sin #1 of 19
AI: Summary ©
The Quran is a title that focuses on understanding the meaning of "monster" in the title of the book. There is a focus on the holy Bible, central teachings, and wild versions of the Bible. The transcript discusses various themes related to the Bible, including the importance of the holy Bible, central teachings, and the wild and wildest versions. The importance of memorizing specific portions of the Quran is emphasized, and the use of words like "come on" and "has not" in Arabic language is discussed. The importance of understanding the Prophet Muhammad's teachings and the need for faith in reality is emphasized. The use of multiple symbols in Arabic language is seen as a reference to the Prophet's weight and seriousness, and the need for clarity and understanding in light of the current crisis.

knows that all the different sciences, it probably takes the
longest to prepare, because there's so many different
components that go into it, especially that if you're speaking
in English, because you have the additional that factor of
translation, and that sometimes you have to look at several
translations to get the wording that you want, you also have to
look then at the basic meanings of the word, you have to look at the
grammar. And then you have to go in look at what the various
scholars have said about Allah subhanaw taala his book. So this
is our attempt to just to provide some brief reflections upon this,
this great surah and in hopes of and they've listened month of
Ramadan, it will be means of us to connect to the revelation that was
sent to our Prophet Muhammad. So I set him to connect to Allah
subhanaw taala his book, and there's no better time to do so.
And one of the great draws that our Prophet made about the Quran
is that he asked Allah to make it, the spring of our hearts. And so
Insha Allah, Allah to Allah will attach our hearts, that to his
book, verses to be able to read it bless us to be able to strive to
understand it, and bless us to be able to put it into practice
beauty lie to Allah. So, Surah Yaseen, this is the 36th chapter
of the Quran. And the scholars first begin by when they speak
about any chapter of the Quran determining whether it is that a
surah that is makiya or Madonia. And that distinction is one
of whether it was revealed that after the Hijra or the before the
hijra, so the migration of the Prophet slicin, which was done in
the 13th year of the hijra, that sort of that is makiya was
revealed that before the Hijra and a surah, that is Melania was
revealed, after the hijra, and sometimes that you have a chapter
in the Quran that will have verses that are met Junya in verses that
are art makiya. And generally speaking to scholars or agreements
that sort of the scene is a sutra that is makiya.
And the only exception that they potentially make to that is the
12th verse in the national Nipa. In motel one octavo, Malka demo at
our home, or coalition as I know via email will be some of them say
that that particular verse is Madani because it relates to Benny
Salima and that we will talk about this when we get to this verse,
but they were a tribe of the unsought
a clan of the unsolved that lived quite far from the Prophets
masjid, and they wanted to abandon their homes and move closer to the
masjid and the prophet that told them to remain where they were,
because that they were getting immense reward for all of the
steps that they took in order to that get to the masjid. But other
than that, that the scholars in agreement that it is a that sort
of that is Nicaea. And there are clear themes in the Meccan surah
is just as there's clear themes in the Medina and sorrows. And when
you get into the more advanced books of Alumina Quran is that you
can start to find signs that if you find that particular sign,
it's a sign that it is a Meccan Surah or it is a Medina surah. And
that generally speaking, similar to our scene is along the lines of
the scenes of the Meccan surah is it speaks a lot about the power of
Allah, it speaks about Tauheed it speaks about Elijah legito, it
speaks about prophethood it speaks about the hereafter, all of which
are common themes of the early soldiers that were revealed to the
Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, so that he has seen has
a total of 83 verses. As for its name, that it takes his name
simply from the very first verse, which is he has seen and we will
get into that more about what that means. And we actually get to the
Tafseer part. So it takes its name from the very first verse, which
are these two letters in the Arabic language, the Yeah, in the
scene and then combined, yes, seeing and then when it comes to
touch we there's two different ways to scholars mentioned that
that can be recited.
As for the various narrations of the Prophet Muhammad
Sallallahu Sallam
about this blessed chapter, there are many, and some of them
aerations there's weakness in them, other narrations are
stronger. But we know collectively because there is so many
narrations as it is a sign that this is a chapter that has great
merit. And there's no doubt about that. And we'll look at a few of
them. When you get into some of the later works that compile that
all of the early narrations there's actually that quite a few.
And so the first one is a Hadith narrated by Imam a dummy
kinda prophesy. centum has said in nearly equally shaitan Alba in the
everything has
As a heart well in color we look or earn yes seeing in indeed the
heart of the court earn is yes seeing and this hadith finishes by
saying, Man, Cara, aha, forgotten Cara or Khorana, Ashura, Murat,
whoever recites this chapter is as if that they have completed the
Quran 10 times in terms of its reward. So focus it upon this idea
and there's multiple narrations, even about this idea of the Quran.
Yeah, seeing being the hub of the Quran, the heart of the Quran,
generally speaking to scholars say is because you're seeing addresses
the central themes of the quantum and central teachings of the
Quran, which is that Allah prophethood in the Hereafter, when
we get into a more drawn out understanding of the themes of the
Quran, that proposed by him, and you say, he adds a few more
categories, he says that there are seven overarching themes of the
Quran is that the first is the ulu here that which pertains to Allah,
the verses that pertain to Allah, and including his essence, His
attributes and His actions, the verses that pertain to Naboo wa
prophethood. And then the verses that pertain to them, which is the
hereafter, literally the return to Allah subhana wa Tada. And then he
adds a few more categories as well. He talks about the wild in
the wild Eid, and the cam in the fossils, that the verses verses
where in which there are some form of promise, whether that's a
promise in this one on the next verse, in which there are some
type of warning, whether again, that is in this world on the next,
and then the verses of the outcome of the legal rulings. And then the
final category is cause us is the stories. And so according to you,
when you say that all of the different verses in the Quran will
fit into one of these categories. And again, that is a
topic in and of itself that you could go into great detail.
But if you were to present the meanings of the Quran, to a Muslim
who doesn't really no, or someone who wants to learn more about our
faith, this is one of the greatest ways to do it, is that you speak
about the themes of the Quran. And once you speak about these
overarching themes really helps then, for people to understand
that what the book of Allah Tada is really all about. And I've done
this in an interfaith gathering, or actually, it wasn't really an
interfaith gathering, there was a group of people that came to
attend a hotbar. And I spoke about the seven themes. And the response
was, was great not because of me, but because of the ingenuity of
that even Jay and his classification of the themes. It
was for the first time those that listen to it, that they said that
they felt that they could understand what the quarter and
was really all about, by talking about its themes. But here when we
talk about Yes, seeing being the heart of the Quran,
generally speaking, the scholars say as was mentioned, is because
that it addresses the central teachings.
And that there are the clusters of verses in this chapter, that deal
with that Allah prophethood in the Hereafter, and other topics as
well. And there are others who offered a more mystical if you
will, explanation of it. And that they say that if your scene is the
pulp of the Quran, if you are seen as the heart of the Quran, what
then is the color of your scene? What then is the heart of your
scene? They say it's the verse SONAMOO colon and Robin Rahim,
that peace, a word from a merciful Lord Sanoma Poland and Robin
Rahim. And that this is mentioned in the Tafseer of event A Jeeva.
He says that this is an indication of what he calls the secret
quarterback, the secret of proximity to Allah, which is what
the Quran calls to Wiley Hema daughter and this is the whole
purpose of it was ultimately for us to draw nearer to him. And we
should remind ourselves of this every time that we read the Quran
every time that we study the Quran every time we learn the Quran, the
whole purpose of the Quran is for you and I to come to know our
Lord. And the Quran is there to teach us exactly how to do that.
Everything that we need, were we to be alone on an island and only
have the book of Allah in the Sunnah of the messenger SallAllahu
sallam, that would be 100% sufficient for us to have
everything that is that we need to draw near to our Lord Subhan who
went to Allah. So if you're seeing is the heart of the Quran, that
this verse phenomenal quote him and Robin Rahim is the heart of
your scene. And you can only imagine that when the believers
that receive this because is that a lot of other gods will address
them on Yom Okayama and that once he addresses them
And that as the verse states that I'm calling them and robbing Rahim
is that the overwhelming bliss that comes to their heart as a
result of receiving the divine address is really what this whole
affair is about in this meeting of Walker Oh Ha. Alamo taco
this idea comes as well
in a in a solitary form in the collection of Abu Dawood. What's
it called? Oh yeah. Seen animo talcum recite yeah seen upon your
deceased. And then we have another Hadith in a dat me that says, Men
Cara, yes seen the sub, they're in a hurry called yet however,
whoever recites he has seen in the beginning of the day, all of his
needs will be taken care of. So in the school that I studied in every
single day, you are seen as recited as part of your morning
invocations. This is a part of this is a staple part of the day,
that ye seen as recited. And then as we will see here,
when we look into some of these narration, some of them that we
won't have time to mention, but there are those that realize the
merit of your scene and wanted to recite it even more than once a
day. You remember her dad used to recite Yeah, seen in every record,
every cycle of prayer of the force in order cause before sought the
Lord. So he'd recite it four times. I remember visiting some of
the shoe in, in Morocco. And when you visited them they recited Yes,
seen several times during the day, I don't even know how many times
is that whenever they would start their invocations, they would
start by reciting Yeah. Seen. So it was recited several times. And
so it's good to recite yeah seen as a daily invocation. And in
addition to other parts of the Quran that you recite, just as
it's good to recite Yes, even for something specific. And this is in
a another narration that
in a moment now, we mentioned in his favorite hadir, he says, What
about how al Hadith even a few summer few months, not a lot of
fun, that whoever recites so that you have seen whoo hoo ha ha, if
any is fearful, that will be granted, security will have a
subpoena and he's sick is that he will be cured. Oh, he's jacked, if
he's hungry, is that he will be satiated until that he mentioned a
number of other different traits.
And so whether we are fearful, whether we are hungry, whether we
are thirsty, that whatever it might be, and that in other
narrations that they go on to mention, if we don't have clothes,
that will be given clothes, if we are in prison that we will be
freed is if we are unmarried, that we will then get married, and so
forth and so on. If you're traveling that you will be
assisted if you've lost something that you will find it so for all
of these different states. So just as you can recite yeah seen on a
daily basis, you can also recite it for something specific. And
this is why even Kathir mentions in his tafsir is that some of the
scholars have said that min Hassan is he how the surah from the
special properties of this chapter is is that an Hala Tokara and the
Umbra and Ser and Allah Yes, sir. Hola. It will never be recited
when you go through some type of difficult matter, except that
ALLAH will facilitate that matter.
So in other words, that why are we learning this, we're learning the
merit of your scene so we can make it a part of our life. And this is
why the Hadith and bizarre states that our Prophet said lowered it
to an academy Quilly in Santa Ana community, that I wish that it was
in the heart of every person from my alma.
So this is a chapter we should all strive to memorize. We should all
strive to memorize even if we've only memorized some of the short
photos that we use for prayer. Yes, seen as one of those photos
is if we can want to strive to memorize a chapter in the Quran,
beyond what we need for prayer. This is one of the great chapters
that we should that memorize.
So that relates to its merit. And then the scholars mentioned in
some of the Tafseer, that what is called the Manasa Lima Kabbalah,
what is the relation of this chapter? So again, 36 Yes, seem to
the chapter that comes before chapter 35 sort of falter. And
they find that all of the chapters in the Quran that are related one
to another, not only are all of the chapters that put in a perfect
place, one in relation to another is that every verse is put in a
perfect place inside of every chapter. Every word is put in a
perfect place inside of every verse of every chapter, and every
single letter is put in that a perfect place in relation to that
every single verse
inside of every single chapter, and that this ultimately is all of
knowledge.
The Quran is all of knowledge. And this is why monana Rumi took any
chakra from the Quran beginning with a bat, this may not have been
an ending, managing unity oneness with a scene. He said all of
knowledge this is just complete mess that scene and everything
that is in between is all of knowledge. This is everything that
you need is ultimately in Allah subhanho wa Taala his book, The
key is how can you and I extract what we need? Remember her dad
used to say, is it a Marine, someone who is seeking closest to
Allah is not really considered to be a Marine, unless he finds in
the Quran everything Who are you read everything he wants. And so
learning to find in the Quran, which is that we need, learning
that to the benefit that from the meanings in the various chapters
of the Quran, or for going through a specific situation is that not
just I'm talking about just opening up randomly, I'm talking
about reading with reflection, and trying to find what it is that we
need. And one of the greatest
blessing of the Quran
is that it eliminates deception.
It eliminates deception.
So if you are that you have a skewed way of thinking you're
deceived by something, your passions have overtaken you, you
have a strong desire for something but it's a desire and you could
actually go straight through that particular thing. If you read the
Quran carefully,
and you open up your heart to absorb its meanings, even through
translation of its of its of the Arabic means is that one of the
greatest fruits is that you will be given clarity
you will that be able to get out of that state of illusion or
deception. And you'll be protected because the Quran is it's these
are realities that are in the Quran.
And that when you open your heart to them is that the desires are
about things here in this world. And that when all of a sudden that
you wake up and you realize what was I thinking?
That it comes from that having listened to the Buddha and
reflecting well upon the meanings in a lot to others book. So one of
the several relations that the scholars point out of sort of DSC
into sort of falter is the following. Is that after Allah to
Allah mentioned and assaulted for his or his words, which are a
common Ilir a warner has come to you and then a lot to add. It
says, well, UK some of Elijah had a man in India whom the Euro local
noon them and if that phenom Jaya Omen, Joe Nazir, Allah speaks of a
warner coming to them. And what is meant by the Warner in these
verses is the Prophet Muhammad SAW Allah Salam. But then you have
people that denied his Prophet hood. And that turned against him.
So now you send them. And so this is why that this chapter begins
with yes seen and again, we'll talk about those meanings. Some
say refers to the prophets I sent him and then that Allah to Allah
says right after that, that he swears an oath by the Koran and
hiking But indeed, that the Prophet said ally Saddam is from
the messengers. Okay. As for what this, the details of what this
sort of contains
the first 12 verses that begin with an address of the Prophet
salaallah idea, this idea sudden, and it speaks of his Prophetic
Mission, it speaks of the him being a prophet, it talks about
Revelation. And then we have that in verses 13 to 30, where there is
more details about those who reject the prophets, and that what
happens to them the way that we can understand that in verses 31
to 44, that Allah to Allah speaks of the resurrection, and that
gives us signs of it in the world that we live in now. In verses 45
to 52. Allah Allah treats the various responses to those that
have denied that prophecy, and that what are the consequences of
the positions that they've taken? And then in verses 53 to 68, we
find that Allah to add a juxtaposes the ends of the
believers to the ends of the disbelievers what happens to both
groups that respond in a diametrically opposed fashion to
the prophets.
And then in 69, and 70, Allah Tada, this speaks again in these
two verses about the prophethood of Satan and Muhammad Sallallahu
Sallam in in verses 71 to 81 that Allah
discusses the signs in his creation that indicate to us that
his, that omnipotent soprano went to Allah and His the ability to
resurrect just as he first gave life to everything that is that in
creation, and that was one of them said the whole Lhasa, the essence
of this whole matter is and the surah to Kula ear called on
shiddhi. Dune is that this chapter that is a means to wake us up in a
very intense matter.
So that we can that recognize that life is serious. And it is opening
up our hearts to what we really need to know in order to be safe
from the human predicament that we're all in collectively. And
that relates to having faith in the Oneness of Allah Tabata Katana
following the guidance of the prophets in preparing for the
hereafter, and this is why that ye seeing is that the heart of the
Koran. So having said that, inshallah Tada. We will now start
with the first part
of your scene which begins with that yes scene.
Yeah, scene is one of the 29 chapters in the Quran that begins
with what are called the hurdles and Locata you could say the
unconnected letters, the separated letters. And just as the second
that chapter in the Quran sorted vaca also begins with these
letters, but here they're different letters and that there's
three out of mean
and you're seeing we have Yeah, and we have seen
and that the separated letters there, vast majority of scholars
say is it the knowledge of them we leave to Allah Tada, Allah Island,
Murat, Allah only knows what they truly mean.
So someone might ask why then what Allah Tabata Cortana the include
that these hurdles and woke up ah, the separate or unconnected
letters in his book.
One of the wisdoms and there are many
is that, first and foremost, the Quran to prove is authenticity is
a challenge to the Arabs of the time, who knew the Arabic
language, it had reached its pinnacle at this particular
juncture in human history. And so they all knew what these letters
were. But they didn't know exactly what was meant by them, because
this was not something that was customer to the Arabs, to have
this letters out of lamb mean. And this is why one of the wisdoms the
scholars mentioned immediately after sola till Fatiha, we have a
lot of land meme and salted vaquera it's so that if you're
going to come to the Quran, is that you have to be very careful
to come into the Quran with preconceived notions. And so that
you can put aside your preconceived notions, and you have
to come to the court and with humility. And to understand is
that there's a lot that you can understand from the Quran. But at
first, that there are things that you might not be able to
understand, like these letters that are right at the beginning of
the chapters, in some meanings might be opened up to the hearts
of the righteous about what they actually mean. But at first
glance, you might not know that what they mean. And so just as
that this is a lesson to the author of the time of the Prophet
sallallahu sallam, after it is a lesson for all of us, is that when
we come to the book of Allah, tada, we have to come with utter
humility.
And unfortunately, people that come with free conceived notions,
and they come with arrogance, or haughtiness or pride in they come
with this state of a heart that is stained with all different types
of diseases they might have what confirm for them what it is that
they're looking for.
Unfortunately,
this is the way things are. And it's no different than the book of
creation. So you have the book of Revelation you have the book of
creation, is the people that look out in creation, with preconceived
notions looking for something that they've already come to believe is
the case, they oftentimes will have confirmed for them exactly
what it is that they were looking for.
And this is the way things are. So what it really is, is it it gets
back to your own self. If you really think about it. How could
there ever be an individual that didn't believe in the Prophet
Mohammed Salah center, your thought about that? Like there
were actually people that saw the Messenger of Allah right before
their eyes.
Eyes, some of them might have even witnessed miracles instilled in
belief or took a long time to believe. How could that even
happen? It's actually a proof of Allah. It's actually a proof of
Allah. But when we understand it from the standpoint of the means,
we understand that this relates to the human condition. And this is
the way that the inheritors of the prophets are as well. Yes, their
mercy, yes, they're there to help you. But you have to want their
help. You have to do your part, you can't rely upon them only, if
you embrace your part, and you do what is that you can, they will,
of course help you and they will pollinate your soul. And they
will, that put a seed in your soul, and they will help you along
the way as you till the earth of your heart and that you strive and
cultivate the meanings of this Deen so that it grows into a very
strong and beautiful fruit giving treat. But it takes time, right
you have to be involved in the process. And so in other words,
they are a type of mere, for you, and to let you know where you
really are. So those that deny them, or those that reject them or
speak ill of them, whether we're referring to a prophet, and those
that live in the time of Prophet are those that are referring to
the inheritors of the that live in the time of the inheritance of the
Prophet, so that ultimately you they will have you will have
confirmed for your own self where you're at.
And so this is the way with the human representatives, this is the
way with the Quran. And this is the way with Allah subhanaw taala
this creation
whereas that if you strive that there's no one that strive to
accept that Allah Tada opens up a door for them. So this is a very
deep meaning, a very deep meaning learning to come to the Quran with
humility. And this is why I believe I heard Sheikh North
Keller say, and this is a good piece of advice you should all
take. Every time that you go to read the Quran, the very first
thing that you should do is make is to far as the forgiveness of a
lot before you open up the most half that close your eyes and ask
Allah to forgive you of all of your sins, so that you wipe your
slate clean.
When you then open up the book of Allah to Allah to Allah, but
coming to the Quran, with humility, coming to the Quran,
with an intention to seek guidance coming in with the Quran, with an
intention of wanting your heart to be colored with the meanings of
Revelation, and all of the other intentions that you can make.
These are the people that are going to benefit from the book of
Allah to go to court. Tada. So there are 29 sources that begin
with the separated letters. And that, generally speaking, the
scholars say Allahu Allah only knows what they truly mean. And
having said that, some of them some of the scholars still do
offer meanings of that they've been inspired with it, they could
potentially mean
and so that when it comes to Yassine, although there are
multiple opinions that a few are one saying is that yes, seeing
here is the short for that two words. Yeah, which is the vocative
saying, oh, calling upon someone, and then that the word insan in
the diminutive form that is IE a tussle here. And so that the if
you take incense, as you say, for instance, that illogical you have
already jail, a man or a little man, are you say that, that you
have like cattle or KoolAid, a dog or a little dog or something of
that nature. You there's a form of turning into that the diminutive
morphological form that you use, and then there's rhetorical
purposes of them. So you could say ebony, my son, but you could also
say Bonet, which is the diminutive of ebony. And that's a one of the
meanings of the diminutive is
not speaking to someone using as a term of endearment.
So Insan is a little bit more complicated because there is an
extra LF, so when you put that into the diminutive, its own a
scene in a scene. And so some of the scholars say is that the scene
it represents this word in a scene which is the diminutive of that
man which here which means that our human being the little human
being
and that they say this is a term of endearment Oh, little human
being. And that primarily that they say that this will refer to
the Prophet Muhammad Salah ly, they send him so little in this
sense. Normally you think that that would be rude to say
something like that, but not in this case. Of course, this has a
lot to add, addressing his profit, and that others say something
similar
The the opinion of Abu Bakr out of Iraq was it means yes. So you
didn't bash on that, oh, preeminent among creation. And
that, yeah, referring to the Yeah, which is the Oh, and then the s
here referring to seed. And so there's difference of opinions
there. But that there are those that say that this refers to the
Prophet slicin, and thus has become one of His Names.
And this is why it's found in a hadith narrated by Satan, I don't
even know he told him that he says that I heard the prophesy Sensei,
that indeed, that Allah to Allah, that gave me seven names in the
Quran. Muhammad, Ahmed Baja yessing, animism, Mel al Madatha,
were Abdullah. So you find people that are named yesI. And that this
is one of the names that in that the various Salawat that we have
in praise of the prophets, I send them like those of images Udi is
that you will find this is one of the names that has mentioned that
both Ha ha, and ye seen. Baja is also a chapter in the Quran. So
some of them say that this refers to the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi. Salam, and that there are a number of other opinions as
well, that are mentioned in the various Tafseer some of them that
assign a more eschatological meaning to it is that they say
it's a reference to the Yeoman mythos which is the day of the
covenant. And that this indicates that the that secret of what takes
place between the lover and the beloved, that on that this very
special day, anyhow, whatever the meaning really is, is that, that
we know that there is a reason that why Allah subhanaw taala a
deep wisdom why he began that the his, his this chapter with
yessing, either with some of the wisdoms that we'd already
mentioned, or is that now that it's going to that set up to that
speak about the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi, salam, witch,
those that say it's potentially one of the prophets names that
indicate because if you look at verse three was says in Nikola
lemon and we're setting that truly you are one of the messengers in
the second person in NECA. Truly, you are one of the messengers.
This would seem to indicate that this first yes scene is a
reference to the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu. The under Saturday,
Sunday, so yeah, seeing and then, well, Quran ill hacking
by the wise Quran. And this is amazing when you get into the
depths of the Arabic language is that you find that one letter can
have multiple meanings, while can have multiple meanings in Arabic
language, it can be used in its most basic form as a conjunction.
Jazz are you doing? Well, I'm Ron, that Zaid and armor came. It's
just a simple conjunction. And we differentiate it differentiate it,
that using that wow, as opposed to a fat or a thumb, for instance.
But there wow can also be a custom. It can also be a way of
swearing an oath. So like what we would say, in English, like by
Allah, or by God.
Something is that, that wow, has strong rhetorical value.
Because when you swear by something, there is a degree of
seriousness about what is it you're swearing? So if someone is
pressing you, on a particular matter, did you do this? It seems
to me that you actually did this. What happened? This is something
I'm very upset about. And this person realizes the situation is
serious. And they know they can't just say no, I didn't do it is
that they have to emphasize to that person will lie. I did not do
that. biller did not do that. swearing off by Allah. Now you
have to be very careful in swearing off by law, some people
just say that all the time. Well, well, well, you really should not
do that. Because the name of Allah right is special. And you should
only swear an oath by Allah if needed, if you must emphasize, but
this is one of the greatest ways of emphasis is to swear an oath.
And then that all of the US in the Quran, Allah Tada, swears by the
greatest things of all,
and that Allah to Allah because he is the Harlock can swear by
whatever it is that he wants to swear by, when it comes to human
being, is that we are only permitted to swear by Allah. Or
you could use some type of that combination like Rob Bell Kaaba,
the Lord of the Kaaba, but we only swear by Allah or using the dopher
construct, but Allah to other swears by what he
Will, where he will Subhanallah data, but here when the Quran Al
Hakim
he's swearing an oath, by the Quran. And then he is describing
no Quran as an hacking and hacking. And this is something
that we all know. But the Quran is the epitome of wisdom. Everything
in the Quran is filled with wisdom. Every act that happens in
creation, which ultimately is an act of Allah, is filled with
wisdom. And even though we do not understand what that wisdom is, it
is upon us to do two things to submit at first and then that
explore what the wisdom actually might be. And this is why that if
you trust and Allah Tada, as you go through life, there'll be
certain things that happen to you at one juncture of your life, you
don't understand why that happened to me. And you think that maybe,
that, you know, I did something wrong, maybe this is some form of
punishment, I don't know it, maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But as life
progresses, you start to realize the wisdom of why certain things
happen to you.
And then what made you feel at first a little bit bitter such
that you had to fight yourself in the beginning to submit to the
Divine decree in relation to what happened over time when you
realized that it was something necessary for you. And there's
something great blessings that you actually receive from it, you have
a very different perspective. And that comes from understanding the
wisdom in that particular thing. But the Quran is hacking.
And it is that why is caught on now that this is one of two
meanings that this could actually mean. The other say is that Al
Hakim could mean and mark him. And here you would translate this as
like determined or perfected in so that the Quran is Al Hakim, yes,
in terms of the wisdom that it gives creation, but it is also
look him, it is also perfected, as a lot of other data says that of
Rocky tablin or Kima. To who from a Facility Manager and Hakeem and
career. This is a scripture, a book whose verses are perfected.
The Quran is perfect. It's exactly as it's supposed to be. That
again, every letter, every word, every idea, every chapter, the
entire Quran collectively in relation to which is perfect. The
Quran is perfect. And that even academics speak about this idea of
the internal coherence of the Quran. No, we don't need them to
do this for us. But this is the something very interesting to note
is that despite their attempt in there to critique the Koran, than
to poke holes, in that Allah to add his book is that this is
something that they pretty much agree upon, is that this idea that
there is the internal coherence in the Quran, that indicates that one
speaker
and this is not the case, and what remains from the other scriptures
that we still have here with us. And this is something even comes
across in the translation of the meanings. When you that read what
is being said, and I've spoken to people that have converted that
this is what they said, is that when they read the Quran, it's
like human beings don't speak like that. Human beings don't speak
like that. That's not how we speak.
And that there's a majesty, there is a grand juror that comes across
even in the translation of its means, say human beings simply do
not speak like that.
And then there's all these things that are really amazing.
That why the Prophet Moses is Anam is mentioned more than the Prophet
Muhammad many more times in the Prophet Muhammad, so nice and over
the problem was calling to himself. Do you really think that
he would mention Moses more than his own self? Right if the
prophets I sent him was really calling to himself? Do you think
that he would mention the verses were outwardly that Allah Tala is
rebuking him? Of course, we have other than say, the rebuke of the
lover of his beloved because he's the hubby of Allah. Right? So what
TOA? Right, but point is, is that that do you think that prophet is
going to mention something or outwardly he's been rebuked, that
no one would do that, that you would put it in a way that you
wanted to make sure that people that had belief in you and
whatever it is that you're trying to pull on others? Anyhow, the
Quran is both wise and
then it is Mark come it is perfected.
And again that What is Allah Allah he's swearing by the Quran and
Hakeem for a particular purpose in Nikka naman and more saline in
verse three. Truly, you are one of the messengers in Nikka lemon and
we're sending in so Allah to add a further emphasizes this point not
only by swearing an oath by the Quran, but also using in in NECA
which means truly and then we have another lamb, lemon and Morsani
Allah Tada is emphasizing this, in other words, is that for those who
do not believe in you, oh Muhammad, is that those that said
like we find in that that sort of verse 43 or sorts of odd with they
said Lester Morrison is that you have not been sent as a messenger
Allah to Allah is saying in the canon Mona Rossini.
And this is why if you look very carefully at the hip hop of the
Quran, as it is a photog from the standpoint of certainty, Allah
stating the reality of things.
It's really interesting to look at the Quran in that sense. One of
the great verses that I'm reminded of when I think of that particular
point
is when Allah to Allah says that is there any doubt if Allah He
Schuck Is there any doubt about Allah falter similar to the
originator of that heavens in the earth?
In other words, is that normally when someone is not certain about
something is that they go around and a worm about type of way to
explain something to someone in a very distant type fashion. But
when you have absolutely absolute certainty about something
that you're going to explain that thing and they're very clear as to
ways you're not gonna go some roundabout when, yesterday I was
outside and I was just in the right spot. And so I finally
reached the point where the sun is shining. No, no one doubts that
there's sun will not today. But in general, when it's actually
shining. You just simply say the sun is shining. And you declare in
a very simple, that direct manner.
And that when it comes to the Quran, it clarifies to us what
reality is in Nikka, lemon and Morsani. And just think about the
shutoff and the honor that is involved in that Allah Jalla
Jalla. Allah was saying this about that scene in a Muhammad he is
being addressed in Nikka, ya rasool Allah, you can imagine that
the Prophet,
what is taking place in his heart, when he receives revelation in The
Lord of the heavens, and the earth, is addressing him, and by
extension, that others but first and foremost, in NECA, Allah is
dressing addressing the prophet that directly in Nikka, LAMINAM
are sitting truly, you are one of the messengers. Think about that,
the magnitude of that in the way that the prophesy centum embraced
it. And if we speak about earlier reaching a point where that they
don't have a thought other than the remembrance of Allah come to
your heart, what about Satan and Muhammad? What about the Imam of
the NBA and then we're sitting
and that the Subhan Allah, what was the state of art when Allah to
add a is addressing him like this, and then also
the responsibility that is on the shoulders, because he has been
sent, and he's been sent for that a specific purpose. And this is
why that's the same word for that Rasul comes from Marcel the one
who has been sent in the rissalah is the message and all of these
other meanings, they get back to this idea of Allah to Virgo to
others sending the prophets with a message right to his creation. And
this is why it absolutely must be emphasized and affirmed that this
is a reality in Nikka, laminar more saline and to do this a lot
how to swears by the Quran attacking, and inshallah Tada, we
will just take that for today, and continue on with the light and
tomorrow. Now let that open up our heart to the meanings of
revelation open up our heart to the means of sovereignty, as seen
specifically, and maybe a means for us to connect to our load and
conduct connect to say no Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam, and we
asked Allah to give us an opening in his book, and to give us
further understanding of his book. And as we read and study these
meanings, we ask You Allah, solely from your bounty and your
generosity from the blessing of this blessed month of Ramadan is
that these meanings are absorbed at the very depths of our being,
and that this Quran impacts us and it brings our heart to life and
it's a means for the
lifting of the veil and it means for that our that souls to become
unshackled that from that our lower selves and they learned how
to bless us and all of our different states except our
fasting except that everything that is that we're doing in this
first month solely for her sake was a little lower. So you know
her mother and wife early was a heavy insulin handler here
