Yasir Qadhi – The First Revelation of The Quran

			don't want to say no horn is still fiddle. Whenever with a biller, Himanshu Rudy and fusina woman
say Dr. Medina, Mejia de la HuFa la medulla woman you'll then who further ha de la wa shadow Allah
in in LA LA who had their home la sharika what a shadow Anna Mohamed an avid Ooh hoo who are pseudo?
Uh, my bad. Allah subhanahu wa taala reminds us in the Quran to be conscious of him when he says
yeah you hola Dina Amano taco la haka to call to Walter moeten Illa anti Muslim moon, are you who
believe have the Taqwa of Allah be conscious of Allah, the way that Allah azza wa jal is worthy that
you are conscious of him, and do not die except in a state of submission. Dear Muslims, we are all
		

			aware that the first revelations of the Quran in chronological order were Surah, Accra, and then
Sudan with death Hill, and then Surah, Muzammil. This is the chronology that is accepted and found
in all of our source books of Sierra and of tafsir. Let us briefly examine the psychology, the
reality, the impact of these three revelations, and of course, is each of these revelations only the
first few that came down and see what was the plan? What was the methodological output that was
intended by the revelation of these three specific sources? If you look at the first of them, Cora,
and I'm sure you've all studied that of syrup your crop given hookbaits have heard hook buzz about
		

			Cora, it Cora was one of the most amazing and frankly, a typical revelations in a society that was
illiterate, in a society that was 99%, illiterate, in a land in a city where barely a dozen people
could read and write. The first word of the revelation was read Quran
		

			and our Prophet system responded I don't know how to read and ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada Gibreel wants
back to him. I don't mean read meaning from a book. I mean, read something. But what can you read
when you're illiterate is a Nabil or me. How can you read when you don't have a book you don't have
a scroll. So in his case, Allah subhanho wa Taala told him you're reading will not be reading from a
book. Your reading will be a recitation of Quran Bismillah big you shall recite from your Lord
through your Lord by the power of your Lord. You shall recite directly from Allah. You don't need a
book. You don't need scriptures that you read in front of you. Your recitation will be linked
		

			directly to ALLAH SubhanA who had to either your camera will be Bismillah Arabic Your camera will be
through Allah via Allah with ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. It could be some Arabic Allah de cada halacha
insana mean other than eat Quran what a book is a Quran, Allah the eye lemma Bill Kalam two times
Accra is mentioned two times if QRA is mentioned, the first of them is cropped from your Lord
through your Lord. This is the era of the Religious Sciences. This is the era of the knowledge era
of the sacred religion, reciting and reading and contemplating the book that Allah has sent down.
And the second time, a Quran and your Lord is the Most Generous, who taught to men the knowledge of
		

			the pen, and who taught to men what they do not know. This is the knowledge of the secular the
knowledge of the sciences, the knowledge of history, the knowledge that men have done, and Allah has
facilitated that knowledge. Allah taught them what they do not know. And they recorded this
knowledge that they could not have known unless Allah Allah allowed them to do so. So in Accra, we
learn of two types of knowledge. And that sets the stage for the rise of Islam. It sets the stage
for what this religion is about, how does one begin anything, you begin everything through
knowledge, through learning, through acquiring that which you did not know, knowledge is indeed
		

			power whenever you want to do something. And that's why this society that we live in, indeed, it is
obsessed with knowledge, when their ancestors 1000 years ago did not like knowledge, they wanted the
people to be ignorant, but they realized Knowledge is power. And so the Western world has gone a
different trajectory, and they have emphasized the second type of knowledge the knowledge of this
world we are told us Muslims, two types of knowledge go hand in hand, the knowledge of the deen, a
crop misanthropic and the knowledge of this world, a crop or a book or a crumb. So that's why the
religion of Islam began to ascend to power. Within a century, the Arabs controlled the Muslims
		

			controlled all of mankind within a century of coming down. Barely 100 years have had gone by and
Muslim civilization became the dominant civilization of the globe. It ruled all the way from China
to North Africa and Spain.
		

			In, and it began to produce intellectual output in every single field of human knowledge and of
sacred knowledge that impacted the globe. And we're all aware of this. How did it get to that stage?
How could a society that was so backward that neither the Sassanid Empire nor the Byzantine Empire
even cared to conquer it within 100 years, conquer both of those empires and conquer the entire
world? If Cara through the knowledge of Kira the knowledge of both the divine and the knowledge of
that which is secular, so this is the first revelation and in that revelation, Allah azza wa jal
tells the Prophet system and through him, all of us, we began, every journey, anything you want to
		

			do, the first thing you do, you learn about it, you study it, and that's what we do when we go to
university. That's what we do when you gain a new job. We go through training, we go through career
orientation, and we learn and acquire skills that we do not have. And as Muslims, the knowledge we
attain of this dunya will always be in harmony with the knowledge of this religion. There is no
clash between deen and science and both revelations and both montages are from Allah, the One of
them directly, and the other indirectly, what a Bukalapak from a lady I love a bill column I lemon
in Santa Maria, Maria Adam. So both knowledges are from Allah. However, the knowledge of the sacred
		

			is directly from Allah, and the knowledge of the secular it is acquired, and some of it can be
correct and some can be incorrect. So it sets the stage for knowledge. That is the first revelation.
What is the second revelation tell us your whole Buddhist fear? Or you who's wrapped up comfortably,
or you who is wrapped up in the cloak? That's not life? Life is not to remain simply reading and
wrapped up No, there's things you have to do. You have to
		

			stand up get rid of that safety blanket, get rid of that cloak, there must be action that comes from
that knowledge once you know do once you learn act once you acquire disseminate that knowledge and
do something with it. So the second revelation of medicine is all about putting that acquired
knowledge into practice. Yeah, you have more depth here home for under waarop Dhaka for Khabib
praise your Lord inside out what's the Iboga Fatah here make sure you ritually pure what with Yabba
Rouge the factual avoid $1 tree while some don't stack the prefecture o'clock and it goes on and on.
So the second revelation is all about perfecting your actions your Amel and that begins with your
		

			sunnah with your Tahara with your karma of the Sharia with the laws of Islam, and it includes a
HELOC and etiquette What are termed on the stack there it is all about your HELOC and etiquette. Be
noble with people, be generous with people don't be stingy with people. So once you have knowledge
that knowledge must be manifested in your actions in your rituals in your o'clock in your AMA,
that's knowledge that is not manifested in actions becomes an evidence against us we as Muslims do
not acquire knowledge for the sake of knowledge. Knowledge is not the goal. Knowledge is not the end
knowledge is the means knowledge is the conduit and the actual goal is the implementation of that
		

			knowledge and to act upon it to come closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala and then the third
revelation. Johan was Zim mero Coleman Lena Kalina noosphere, who our customers from Cadila Uzi de
la Hayward serial Khurana Tour de la in synuclein, Erica Poland Satilla in Nanashi, attend lady here
shut the water on water como que la in LA caffeine Nihari Saba and taweelah further Cody Smarthub
Baker water but la heater de la these verses were revealed. All of this is about spirituality
tahajjud reading the Quran, and vicar and this shows us the real Samara the real produce of both
knowledge and actions, knowledge and actions put together should lead us to the ultimate product and
		

			what is that raw spirituality? What is that God consciousness being aware of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada.
So the two pillars upon which our religion is based is really an AMA and our scholars mentioned it
is not a coincidence that in an AMA have the same three letter roots I inland me and I name love.
They're meant to be intertwined. They're meant to stand together as two pillars and an AMA should be
acted upon together. If you have him without Amman. That is a problem. It's a type of hypocrisy. If
you have Amel without him. That is a danger and a lot of people who don't have any but they think
they have Amel ended up causing more harm than good. They ended up doing things that are harmful
		

			painful, relieving in the room.
		

			Wrong direction and this goes back to certain Fatiha they did a malubay I named him the man who they
had in but now I'm a what a ball lien the lien they had Amman But nowhere in they had actions but
not based upon knowledge. We are not like them brothers and sisters we are the only button was
certain between those two extreme representations we have your element Amel put together and when it
comes together properly with the right balance and combination, it should produce the results and
what is that results spirituality, God consciousness and it is mostly manifested, primarily
manifested in certain resembles realisation that the ultimate actions of worship are private
		

			tahajjud and doing vicar all the time and reading the Quran, in the privacy of your house, these
types of Lumira this type of fruit is the result when you have combined between the proper education
and the proper acting upon that act your education Dear brothers and sisters, the simple reality of
what our religion is learn and then practice and when you do that, together, it should bring about a
consciousness of Allah subhanho wa Taala this should be our philosophy throughout our lives for all
that we do May Allah subhana wa Tada bless me and you with us through the Quran. And May He make us
of those who is versus they understand and applies halal and haram throughout our lifespan as
		

			scholars forgiveness, He was will ask him for his the food and the ramen.
		

			hamdulillah All praise is due to Allah, the One and the unique. Here it is whom we worship, and it
is his aid that we seek. He is the Lord of the oppressed. And here is the prayer of the week. As to
what follows dear Muslims, every few months, every few years, certain tragedies happen around the
globe that we bring the attention of our congregants to, And subhanAllah every single time the list
might be updated. But there's always a list. And this is the Sunnah of Allah in this creation.
There's always things going on. And today I just wanted to shed a little bit of light about the
realities of the Muslims, especially in India, and what is happening in that land and the rise of
		

			the Hindutva. And the fact that unfortunately, may Allah protect us and then we are seeing the
beginnings of genocide. We're seeing the beginnings of a time and a place in an era where if things
continue as they are, there is the potential of a mass genocide. There is a group here in Washington
called genocide watch, and they have a 10 step program of how genocide occurs. The 10th stage is to
justify and to backtrack, stage nine is actual genocide. Stage nine is actual genocide 10 you
sanitize history, you pretend it didn't happen. You cover it over. And according to this NGO, it's
not a Muslim NGO, it's not a religious one. It's a secular one. places in India have reached stage
		

			eight and the rest of the country is stage seven, seven and eight one step away from all out
genocide, and unfortunately this is not the only place that is happening. We are already seeing what
is happening in the Xinjiang province in Tajikistan, we should call it the Chinese called the
Xinjiang it is actually Easter Cassandra Turkmenistan in this region. Unfortunately, our brothers
and sisters are undergoing not a genocide and ethno side what's the difference? A genocide wants to
kill you as a human being an ethnic site wants to kill your identity as a human being. And
unfortunately, the Chinese government is getting away with it. And over a million people are
		

			systematically being denied deprived, their identities are being wiped away. The government wants to
preserve their bodies and their children's bodies, but it wants to eliminate their Islam. And what
we're seeing here, even according to the UN, it is the worst case of mass incarceration since World
War Two and since the Nazis did what they did in Germany, and other places as well, we can talk
about Kashmir, we can talk about philosophy and for 75 plus years, and the list goes on and on. And
my not mentioning other regions is not because I don't care about them, but because time is limited.
And I want to remind myself and all of you dear Muslims, perhaps we cannot stop the genocide of
		

			India. Perhaps we cannot solve the problems of our Turkish Thani brothers and sisters. But two
simple points. Number one, the least we can do is to have our hearts connected to the Ummah because
it will make us think differently. It will make us see things differently. It will make us
prioritize things differently. Even if we cannot change the realities. Make sure you are aware of
the situation. be connected to your kith and kin. This is your brother and sister. This is our
ummah. These are the same people Subhanallah if Allah at will, we would have been born there and
Allah to these places where the things are going on. Nobody could have imagined 10 years ago this is
		

			happening now.
		

			Nobody could have imagined 20 years ago, this would be the reality and yet it is happening, what is
happening there might happen here or other places as well. So point number one, be connected, have
your heart and have your intellect and have your knowledge connected to those regions. Don't just
gloss over the news. It's awkward. It's embarrassing, it's painful, read it, watch the videos of
what's happening in those places, so that your heart is affected so that you feel connected so that
in the very, very, very least you make dua to Allah to help them even if you can't do anything, at
least make dua to Allah to help them. And this leads me to my second point, brothers and sisters,
		

			will Allah here we are blessing and we are fortunate, Allah has given us so many blessings in this
land where we are brutal reality fact of the matter. The fact that you are sitting here right now,
and I am here right now, we are already in the top 1% of the globe. This is the reality, the fact
that you are here right now, your food, your lifestyle, your standard of living, the food you have
in your pantry, the amenities given to you, every one of us is already in the top 1% whether you
understand it or not 99% of the world would love to be where you are right now. And that is a fact
the least we can do. Therefore, the least we can do is to show Allah we are grateful. The least we
		

			can do is to make sure our lifestyles conform to that blessing, the least we can do is to be extra
generous with our time, our freedoms. Nobody is going to stop you from praying. Do you understand
what's happening to our brothers in China right now when they try to pray when their cousin or
relative goes for umara they are arrested when their grandmother's wearing hijab the granddaughter
is taken into jail how much is happening there and here we have the freedoms to dress as we please
pray as we please do as we please thank Allah for those freedoms and then show Allah that I am
appreciative by doing those things we talked about. Amen, amen. We talked about Ischia. We talked
		

			about spirituality, what is coming between you and Amman, what is coming between you and
spirituality, nothing other than my knifes and your enough's. That's it, you are the impediment to
your own progress. So then take advantage overcome your own soul and ego because most of our
brothers and sisters have much more to worry about than their own souls and egos. Be generous with
your time with your drawers with your money, do what you can raise political awareness and I know
it's a struggle. I know it seems to be an never ending battle, what can I possibly do to help the
Muslims of India or China or Rwanda or Burma or and then the list goes on and on. And the end of the
		

			day, Allah is not going to ask me did I solve the entire problem? But Allah will ask me, Did you do
something something? Did you change one person's perspective? Did you make dua? Did you give to one
charity for the Syrian refugees for the Kashmiri orphans, whatever you could give? Did you do that?
And if we can answer to that, Oh Allah Yes, I tried. Perhaps in that effort is our salvation. And if
we don't have an answer to that, what will we say to Allah subhana wa taala. So brothers and
sisters, be connected to the Ummah be connected to the global Rounders, be aware of what is going on
and allow that awareness to impact you allow that awareness to affect you spiritually and
		

			emotionally allow that awareness to help you prioritize your own life in your own personal schedule.
And perhaps Perhaps in that attempt to rectify ourselves is our salvation in the eyes of Allah
subhana which Allah Allah many died for me know Allahu Allah said I fell in love with him but he
loves oferta Well, ahem Manila forage. What are the needs of Kobita? What am I read on Elektra feta,
