illAllah Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, I
begin my hotbar by asking Allah Who subhanaw taala first and
foremost, to send blessings and prayers to our beloved prophet
muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Allahumma salli wa salim
won a more radical and a BA in our Habib anna Muhammad in wala le or
Saburo send them with your brothers and sisters in Islam. As
Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
I wanted to share with you in sha Allah Tala in this hotbar a story
of someone who reverted to Islam. His name is Luis is a Latino
brother. And brother Luis had a very unique story on how he became
Muslim his journey and how he became a Muslim.
So I've known rather Luis for several years. And he was, you
know, born and raised as Christian. All of his relatives
are Christian, his friends, he grew up in a church.
And then at some point, he wasn't satisfied with himself. He was
struggling with, with his faith,
he could not find comfort,
his heart was not at rest. He had this internal conflict, the whole
thing with Trinity did not make sense to him.
And he was struggling with this. He's a very intellectual brother.
He's a big reader. He actually reads one book a week, about 55
books every year. And he's constantly trying to find the
truth.
And so at some point,
he left Christianity and he became an atheist.
And he thought that by doing this, all of his problems and his
internal, you know, conflict will go away.
By In fact, his problems increased even more.
Until one day, that was his turning point of his life
when he went to a deli,
to get some groceries for his family and, and found two
brothers, who were praying at the deli, and then he definitely
wasn't familiar with these rituals. And he didn't know
anything about Islam at that time.
So he asked these two brothers what you guys are doing.
And then they told him, we're Muslims. And he started to speak
briefly about Islam. And then he started to ask actually ask them
tremendous questions about the Islamic tradition. But these two
brothers weren't really, you know, knowledgeable about the deen. But
they gave him a very sincere advice.
They told him go and read the Quran.
Go through the Quran, and you will find your answers there. We're not
very knowledgeable to give you you know, an answer that satisfies
you.
But you have our, our manual, our guide the Quran, just go through
it. And you will find in sha Allah to Allah, what pleases you.
And so
brother Luis decided to read the Quran.
And he said, I was thinking about reading it, but my reading is
gonna be different than just reciting it. You know, rushing
through it. He said, I need to take my time.
I really need to take my time in order for me to grasp the truth,
the Islamic tradition through the book of God. So he said
Subhanallah there are things that hit his heart, and things that hit
his mind while he's reciting the Quran.
And then he said
from the beginning of the Quran from the first chapter of the
Quran
he said I decided Bismillah R Rahman Rahim in the Name of Allah,
the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate.
Alhamdulillah Hara Bill Allah mean all praises due to Allah. Rob Lila
ME IN THE LORD OF THE WORLD. Ar Rahman Rahim, the Most Merciful,
the Most Compassionate.
He said that was very unique. Because this is how Allah is
introducing himself to us. He said, This is as if Allah is
introducing himself to me, when we usually meet someone, salaam
alaikum. My name is Fulani, Fulani, and briefing about you
that basically summarizes who you are the first few words that you
say to introduce yourself.
And here Allah subhanaw taala is introducing himself to us. And he
said, what's unique is that Allah is emphasizing the fact that He is
the Most Merciful,
that he has this Rama, that he is a real man.
And then he said, I stopped there. And then I was trying to find
through the Islamic books. What is this all Rama about? And
subhanAllah he came across Hadith. It's actually not very famous
Hadith. Like many of us, we don't even know this hadith, but Allah
will for this brother to be guided Subhanallah he read this hadith
where Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam said, the Allah has divided
his Rama into into 100 parts. And he sent down one part of His
mercy. So all the mercy that we have towards each other, or the
mercy that the mothers have towards their newborn babies, or
the mercy that even the animals have towards towards each other,
is just one part of Allah's mercy. And Allah is keeping 99 parts of
his mercy for us and that they have judgments. And then he said,
this is this is fascinating. How Allah subhanaw taala How would
this God is so merciful, because God wasn't introduced to us this
way. He was not. That was his first time to see that Rama that
Allah subhanaw taala in campuses.
Now he said, the second thing that hits my heart, and then sha Allah,
Allah, we're going to be talking about what his his mind. But he
said the second thing that hit my heart, was the fact that every
time Allah says in the Quran, when Allah who you read, is always
something beautiful comes after Allah who you read in English
language, in English language means Allah wants. So what comes
after it. He said, Every time I read it, it's something beautiful,
because I was wondering what God wants from us. And then I found my
answers in the Quran. When Allah says Wallah who you really do, and
yet to ballet, Allah wants to forgive you.
And then one more time Wallah who you need to become a US. Allah
wants ease for you, while you read to become a loss. And Allah
doesn't want you to struggle. Wala who you read when you have fever
ankle, another beautiful eye. Allah wants, you have to be such a
beautiful word, you have faith when when you are carrying
something heavy, and someone comes up to you and left this this
heaviness from you. So you feel lighter.
So here Allah subhanaw taala saying that Allah wants to relieve
this burden from our shoulders. And then he said Subhanallah I was
struggling a lot with depression and and this internal conflict
that I was never at rest. And then I found Allah telling me that he
wants ease for me. He said that was mind boggling.
Now, he said that was about my heart. But what really got me is
how the Quran is our authentic and every single word Allah subhanaw
taala put it in its place. And Allah's words are very precise. He
said there are two things that for me what I was amazed with it. He
said number one,
when Allah says in Allah,
and the who l Musa
and I want you to focus on this
pay attention to to to the explanation of this idea because
Wallah, it's very
Amazing.
When Allah says, in Allah hang the huella Musa, Allah holds the
knowledge of the day of judgments. He's the only one. He's alone has
this knowledge of the day of judgments? No, no one shares this
knowledge with him, none of us
and then he said, Why you net zero life? And he seemed down the rain.
And then he said, Why are Allah mu Mathilde or Han Solo Turkmen? Why
Allah mu method or Han? And he also has knowledge about the
wombs, about the babies and how the babies forms and the gender of
the babies and all of this knowledge.
Now, you might ask what is unique about this area? Well, in the
world Musa we understand he's the only one who holds the knowledge
of the Day of Judgment, sin down the rain, okay,
Yala method or ham.
If Allah subhanaw taala says, and I am the only one who has all the
knowledge about the wombs, that will be contradicting
because with science now we know some of the knowledge of the wombs
the gender of the baby with ultrasound, we can actually know
the age of the baby, how the baby forms the shape of the baby, you
know, the gender of the baby through this, this blood tests, we
actually have sort of knowledge about this, but Subhanallah back
in that back in the day, they didn't have that knowledge.
I mean, we're not talking about long time ago,
they did not have this knowledge. And if Allah wouldn't be precise
with the words, the Quran will be contradicting the science,
contradicting science.
And this is this is amazing. So he said, wow.
One word can prove the Quran wrong. But Allah put every single
word in its place. Then he said the second thing
and that was about history. Well, it was it is interesting, his his
his story is interesting, because we go through the Quran.
But we're not we're not very, you know, many of us, we rushed
through it specially in the month of Ramadan. We don't give
ourselves time to reflect really on these words. And it doesn't
even require, you know, Arabic language because we still have
this, this this translation that we can, we can read.
But even the translation is not enough. Because there's difference
between translation and FCF is when you have to double in the
words and you stop, and you reflect on the words and you see
what the Allamanda scholars say, and you and you have this
different experience with reciting the Quran. But that's a different
topic. Now what was the second thing that hit his mind?
He was reciting Surah Yusuf.
And there is something unique about Salut Yusuf
Prophet Yusuf alayhi, salam, a prophet Musa alayhis, salam, they
were in Egypt.
And they were living in Egypt, they were at the Palace of, of, of
the king of Egypt fell down.
So both of them have very similarity in terms of the places
in terms of even not just the land, but that the time period is
different, but a lot of similarity in terms of the circumstances.
Now,
there was something unique in the Quranic narration, when Allah
describes the ruler of Egypt, the title of the ruler of Egypt's,
when Allah spoke about Prophet Musa, he said, For around, he gave
the title of the ruler of Egypt as Pharaoh, because Egyptians at that
time used to call the ruler, frown.
Now, and that, by the way, goes along with the narration of the
Bible and the Torah and all other you know, books. It goes along
with it, the have the same narration.
But when it comes to Prophet Yusuf Alayhi Salam.
Allah did not call the ruler of Egypt at the time of Prophet Yusuf
frown, even though in the other books were named for now.
But in the Quran wasn't Allah called the ruler of Egypt. At the
time of Prophet Yusuf al Malik, will call al Maliki to Nabi al
Malik the king
Now history historians proved that the only time that Egyptians back
in the day did not call the ruler of Egypt frown was at the time of
Prophet Yusuf Alayhi Salam.
And that goes exactly along with the narration of the Quran and
contradicts other other books of faith. So he said, these two
things, along with how Allah is describing himself to me, made me
feel at ease and comfort. And they felt that these words cannot be
words of a man. These words are coming directly from Allah
subhanaw taala that is a divine speech. This is a divine speech
coming from Allah subhanho wa Taala Lai Sufi Harry wotja There
are no flaws no mistakes, very precise, very powerful. This is
brothers and sisters the book that we carry, this is the book that we
recite in the in this month and in the in the in the rest of the year
in sha Allah Tala.
One takeaway of this story is that we really need to have a unique
experience with reciting the Quran in this month, in the last 15
months in the last 15 days,
we should have a different experience reciting the words of
Allah subhanaw taala
and it is about your experience and my experience, your experience
is going to be different than mine. The way the lens you have
reciting the words of ALLAH is different than mine. Try and
that's an advice for you and for myself. Try to have a different
relationship with the Quran this month a different connection with
the Quran this month. If brother Luis found this this magnificent
miracles in the Quran by himself
wish should really grasp something that can help us in sha Allah to
Allah be more attached to our deen Akula Cody had stopped for Allah
