00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.

00:01:14 --> 00:01:18

I wanted to share with you in sha Allah Tala in this hotbar a story

00:01:18 --> 00:01:25

of someone who reverted to Islam. His name is Luis is a Latino

00:01:25 --> 00:01:33

brother. And brother Luis had a very unique story on how he became

00:01:33 --> 00:01:37

Muslim his journey and how he became a Muslim.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:44

So I've known rather Luis for several years. And he was, you

00:01:44 --> 00:01:48

know, born and raised as Christian. All of his relatives

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51

are Christian, his friends, he grew up in a church.

00:01:53 --> 00:01:59

And then at some point, he wasn't satisfied with himself. He was

00:01:59 --> 00:02:02

struggling with, with his faith,

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

he could not find comfort,

00:02:07 --> 00:02:14

his heart was not at rest. He had this internal conflict, the whole

00:02:14 --> 00:02:16

thing with Trinity did not make sense to him.

00:02:17 --> 00:02:21

And he was struggling with this. He's a very intellectual brother.

00:02:21 --> 00:02:29

He's a big reader. He actually reads one book a week, about 55

00:02:29 --> 00:02:34

books every year. And he's constantly trying to find the

00:02:34 --> 00:02:35

truth.

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

And so at some point,

00:02:39 --> 00:02:42

he left Christianity and he became an atheist.

00:02:44 --> 00:02:47

And he thought that by doing this, all of his problems and his

00:02:47 --> 00:02:50

internal, you know, conflict will go away.

00:02:51 --> 00:02:56

By In fact, his problems increased even more.

00:02:58 --> 00:03:03

Until one day, that was his turning point of his life

00:03:05 --> 00:03:08

when he went to a deli,

00:03:09 --> 00:03:12

to get some groceries for his family and, and found two

00:03:12 --> 00:03:17

brothers, who were praying at the deli, and then he definitely

00:03:17 --> 00:03:21

wasn't familiar with these rituals. And he didn't know

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

anything about Islam at that time.

00:03:24 --> 00:03:27

So he asked these two brothers what you guys are doing.

00:03:28 --> 00:03:31

And then they told him, we're Muslims. And he started to speak

00:03:31 --> 00:03:35

briefly about Islam. And then he started to ask actually ask them

00:03:36 --> 00:03:41

tremendous questions about the Islamic tradition. But these two

00:03:41 --> 00:03:45

brothers weren't really, you know, knowledgeable about the deen. But

00:03:45 --> 00:03:48

they gave him a very sincere advice.

00:03:50 --> 00:03:53

They told him go and read the Quran.

00:03:54 --> 00:04:00

Go through the Quran, and you will find your answers there. We're not

00:04:00 --> 00:04:04

very knowledgeable to give you you know, an answer that satisfies

00:04:04 --> 00:04:04

you.

00:04:05 --> 00:04:12

But you have our, our manual, our guide the Quran, just go through

00:04:12 --> 00:04:16

it. And you will find in sha Allah to Allah, what pleases you.

00:04:17 --> 00:04:18

And so

00:04:19 --> 00:04:23

brother Luis decided to read the Quran.

00:04:24 --> 00:04:30

And he said, I was thinking about reading it, but my reading is

00:04:30 --> 00:04:34

gonna be different than just reciting it. You know, rushing

00:04:34 --> 00:04:36

through it. He said, I need to take my time.

00:04:37 --> 00:04:42

I really need to take my time in order for me to grasp the truth,

00:04:42 --> 00:04:47

the Islamic tradition through the book of God. So he said

00:04:47 --> 00:04:54

Subhanallah there are things that hit his heart, and things that hit

00:04:55 --> 00:04:58

his mind while he's reciting the Quran.

00:05:00 --> 00:05:01

And then he said

00:05:03 --> 00:05:06

from the beginning of the Quran from the first chapter of the

00:05:06 --> 00:05:06

Quran

00:05:08 --> 00:05:13

he said I decided Bismillah R Rahman Rahim in the Name of Allah,

00:05:13 --> 00:05:16

the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate.

00:05:17 --> 00:05:22

Alhamdulillah Hara Bill Allah mean all praises due to Allah. Rob Lila

00:05:22 --> 00:05:27

ME IN THE LORD OF THE WORLD. Ar Rahman Rahim, the Most Merciful,

00:05:27 --> 00:05:28

the Most Compassionate.

00:05:30 --> 00:05:34

He said that was very unique. Because this is how Allah is

00:05:34 --> 00:05:39

introducing himself to us. He said, This is as if Allah is

00:05:39 --> 00:05:44

introducing himself to me, when we usually meet someone, salaam

00:05:44 --> 00:05:47

alaikum. My name is Fulani, Fulani, and briefing about you

00:05:48 --> 00:05:51

that basically summarizes who you are the first few words that you

00:05:51 --> 00:05:53

say to introduce yourself.

00:05:54 --> 00:05:58

And here Allah subhanaw taala is introducing himself to us. And he

00:05:58 --> 00:06:03

said, what's unique is that Allah is emphasizing the fact that He is

00:06:03 --> 00:06:04

the Most Merciful,

00:06:06 --> 00:06:10

that he has this Rama, that he is a real man.

00:06:11 --> 00:06:15

And then he said, I stopped there. And then I was trying to find

00:06:15 --> 00:06:20

through the Islamic books. What is this all Rama about? And

00:06:20 --> 00:06:25

subhanAllah he came across Hadith. It's actually not very famous

00:06:25 --> 00:06:29

Hadith. Like many of us, we don't even know this hadith, but Allah

00:06:29 --> 00:06:34

will for this brother to be guided Subhanallah he read this hadith

00:06:34 --> 00:06:38

where Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam said, the Allah has divided

00:06:38 --> 00:06:44

his Rama into into 100 parts. And he sent down one part of His

00:06:44 --> 00:06:50

mercy. So all the mercy that we have towards each other, or the

00:06:50 --> 00:06:55

mercy that the mothers have towards their newborn babies, or

00:06:55 --> 00:06:58

the mercy that even the animals have towards towards each other,

00:06:58 --> 00:07:04

is just one part of Allah's mercy. And Allah is keeping 99 parts of

00:07:04 --> 00:07:07

his mercy for us and that they have judgments. And then he said,

00:07:07 --> 00:07:12

this is this is fascinating. How Allah subhanaw taala How would

00:07:12 --> 00:07:19

this God is so merciful, because God wasn't introduced to us this

00:07:19 --> 00:07:25

way. He was not. That was his first time to see that Rama that

00:07:25 --> 00:07:27

Allah subhanaw taala in campuses.

00:07:28 --> 00:07:35

Now he said, the second thing that hits my heart, and then sha Allah,

00:07:35 --> 00:07:39

Allah, we're going to be talking about what his his mind. But he

00:07:39 --> 00:07:44

said the second thing that hit my heart, was the fact that every

00:07:44 --> 00:07:50

time Allah says in the Quran, when Allah who you read, is always

00:07:50 --> 00:07:53

something beautiful comes after Allah who you read in English

00:07:53 --> 00:07:58

language, in English language means Allah wants. So what comes

00:07:58 --> 00:08:02

after it. He said, Every time I read it, it's something beautiful,

00:08:02 --> 00:08:07

because I was wondering what God wants from us. And then I found my

00:08:07 --> 00:08:12

answers in the Quran. When Allah says Wallah who you really do, and

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

yet to ballet, Allah wants to forgive you.

00:08:16 --> 00:08:20

And then one more time Wallah who you need to become a US. Allah

00:08:20 --> 00:08:25

wants ease for you, while you read to become a loss. And Allah

00:08:25 --> 00:08:30

doesn't want you to struggle. Wala who you read when you have fever

00:08:30 --> 00:08:35

ankle, another beautiful eye. Allah wants, you have to be such a

00:08:35 --> 00:08:39

beautiful word, you have faith when when you are carrying

00:08:39 --> 00:08:44

something heavy, and someone comes up to you and left this this

00:08:44 --> 00:08:48

heaviness from you. So you feel lighter.

00:08:49 --> 00:08:53

So here Allah subhanaw taala saying that Allah wants to relieve

00:08:53 --> 00:08:58

this burden from our shoulders. And then he said Subhanallah I was

00:08:58 --> 00:09:02

struggling a lot with depression and and this internal conflict

00:09:02 --> 00:09:08

that I was never at rest. And then I found Allah telling me that he

00:09:08 --> 00:09:11

wants ease for me. He said that was mind boggling.

00:09:14 --> 00:09:22

Now, he said that was about my heart. But what really got me is

00:09:23 --> 00:09:29

how the Quran is our authentic and every single word Allah subhanaw

00:09:29 --> 00:09:35

taala put it in its place. And Allah's words are very precise. He

00:09:35 --> 00:09:41

said there are two things that for me what I was amazed with it. He

00:09:41 --> 00:09:42

said number one,

00:09:44 --> 00:09:47

when Allah says in Allah,

00:09:48 --> 00:09:50

and the who l Musa

00:09:51 --> 00:09:53

and I want you to focus on this

00:09:56 --> 00:09:59

pay attention to to to the explanation of this idea because

00:09:59 --> 00:09:59

Wallah, it's very

00:10:00 --> 00:10:00

Amazing.

00:10:01 --> 00:10:07

When Allah says, in Allah hang the huella Musa, Allah holds the

00:10:07 --> 00:10:14

knowledge of the day of judgments. He's the only one. He's alone has

00:10:14 --> 00:10:18

this knowledge of the day of judgments? No, no one shares this

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20

knowledge with him, none of us

00:10:21 --> 00:10:27

and then he said, Why you net zero life? And he seemed down the rain.

00:10:28 --> 00:10:34

And then he said, Why are Allah mu Mathilde or Han Solo Turkmen? Why

00:10:34 --> 00:10:41

Allah mu method or Han? And he also has knowledge about the

00:10:41 --> 00:10:46

wombs, about the babies and how the babies forms and the gender of

00:10:46 --> 00:10:48

the babies and all of this knowledge.

00:10:49 --> 00:10:55

Now, you might ask what is unique about this area? Well, in the

00:10:55 --> 00:10:58

world Musa we understand he's the only one who holds the knowledge

00:10:58 --> 00:11:01

of the Day of Judgment, sin down the rain, okay,

00:11:02 --> 00:11:03

Yala method or ham.

00:11:05 --> 00:11:11

If Allah subhanaw taala says, and I am the only one who has all the

00:11:11 --> 00:11:15

knowledge about the wombs, that will be contradicting

00:11:17 --> 00:11:21

because with science now we know some of the knowledge of the wombs

00:11:22 --> 00:11:24

the gender of the baby with ultrasound, we can actually know

00:11:24 --> 00:11:29

the age of the baby, how the baby forms the shape of the baby, you

00:11:29 --> 00:11:32

know, the gender of the baby through this, this blood tests, we

00:11:32 --> 00:11:36

actually have sort of knowledge about this, but Subhanallah back

00:11:36 --> 00:11:40

in that back in the day, they didn't have that knowledge.

00:11:41 --> 00:11:44

I mean, we're not talking about long time ago,

00:11:45 --> 00:11:50

they did not have this knowledge. And if Allah wouldn't be precise

00:11:50 --> 00:11:53

with the words, the Quran will be contradicting the science,

00:11:54 --> 00:11:56

contradicting science.

00:11:57 --> 00:12:01

And this is this is amazing. So he said, wow.

00:12:03 --> 00:12:08

One word can prove the Quran wrong. But Allah put every single

00:12:08 --> 00:12:13

word in its place. Then he said the second thing

00:12:14 --> 00:12:18

and that was about history. Well, it was it is interesting, his his

00:12:18 --> 00:12:24

his story is interesting, because we go through the Quran.

00:12:25 --> 00:12:30

But we're not we're not very, you know, many of us, we rushed

00:12:30 --> 00:12:33

through it specially in the month of Ramadan. We don't give

00:12:33 --> 00:12:39

ourselves time to reflect really on these words. And it doesn't

00:12:39 --> 00:12:43

even require, you know, Arabic language because we still have

00:12:43 --> 00:12:46

this, this this translation that we can, we can read.

00:12:48 --> 00:12:51

But even the translation is not enough. Because there's difference

00:12:51 --> 00:12:55

between translation and FCF is when you have to double in the

00:12:55 --> 00:12:58

words and you stop, and you reflect on the words and you see

00:12:58 --> 00:13:01

what the Allamanda scholars say, and you and you have this

00:13:01 --> 00:13:05

different experience with reciting the Quran. But that's a different

00:13:05 --> 00:13:09

topic. Now what was the second thing that hit his mind?

00:13:11 --> 00:13:14

He was reciting Surah Yusuf.

00:13:16 --> 00:13:19

And there is something unique about Salut Yusuf

00:13:21 --> 00:13:25

Prophet Yusuf alayhi, salam, a prophet Musa alayhis, salam, they

00:13:25 --> 00:13:26

were in Egypt.

00:13:27 --> 00:13:32

And they were living in Egypt, they were at the Palace of, of, of

00:13:32 --> 00:13:33

the king of Egypt fell down.

00:13:35 --> 00:13:40

So both of them have very similarity in terms of the places

00:13:40 --> 00:13:46

in terms of even not just the land, but that the time period is

00:13:46 --> 00:13:49

different, but a lot of similarity in terms of the circumstances.

00:13:50 --> 00:13:50

Now,

00:13:52 --> 00:13:58

there was something unique in the Quranic narration, when Allah

00:13:58 --> 00:14:04

describes the ruler of Egypt, the title of the ruler of Egypt's,

00:14:05 --> 00:14:11

when Allah spoke about Prophet Musa, he said, For around, he gave

00:14:11 --> 00:14:15

the title of the ruler of Egypt as Pharaoh, because Egyptians at that

00:14:15 --> 00:14:18

time used to call the ruler, frown.

00:14:20 --> 00:14:24

Now, and that, by the way, goes along with the narration of the

00:14:24 --> 00:14:30

Bible and the Torah and all other you know, books. It goes along

00:14:30 --> 00:14:33

with it, the have the same narration.

00:14:34 --> 00:14:37

But when it comes to Prophet Yusuf Alayhi Salam.

00:14:38 --> 00:14:42

Allah did not call the ruler of Egypt at the time of Prophet Yusuf

00:14:42 --> 00:14:46

frown, even though in the other books were named for now.

00:14:47 --> 00:14:52

But in the Quran wasn't Allah called the ruler of Egypt. At the

00:14:52 --> 00:14:58

time of Prophet Yusuf al Malik, will call al Maliki to Nabi al

00:14:58 --> 00:14:59

Malik the king

00:15:00 --> 00:15:08

Now history historians proved that the only time that Egyptians back

00:15:08 --> 00:15:15

in the day did not call the ruler of Egypt frown was at the time of

00:15:15 --> 00:15:16

Prophet Yusuf Alayhi Salam.

00:15:18 --> 00:15:22

And that goes exactly along with the narration of the Quran and

00:15:22 --> 00:15:27

contradicts other other books of faith. So he said, these two

00:15:27 --> 00:15:34

things, along with how Allah is describing himself to me, made me

00:15:34 --> 00:15:39

feel at ease and comfort. And they felt that these words cannot be

00:15:39 --> 00:15:46

words of a man. These words are coming directly from Allah

00:15:46 --> 00:15:52

subhanaw taala that is a divine speech. This is a divine speech

00:15:53 --> 00:15:56

coming from Allah subhanho wa Taala Lai Sufi Harry wotja There

00:15:56 --> 00:16:03

are no flaws no mistakes, very precise, very powerful. This is

00:16:03 --> 00:16:08

brothers and sisters the book that we carry, this is the book that we

00:16:08 --> 00:16:12

recite in the in this month and in the in the in the rest of the year

00:16:12 --> 00:16:13

in sha Allah Tala.

00:16:15 --> 00:16:21

One takeaway of this story is that we really need to have a unique

00:16:21 --> 00:16:25

experience with reciting the Quran in this month, in the last 15

00:16:25 --> 00:16:27

months in the last 15 days,

00:16:28 --> 00:16:32

we should have a different experience reciting the words of

00:16:32 --> 00:16:33

Allah subhanaw taala

00:16:34 --> 00:16:40

and it is about your experience and my experience, your experience

00:16:40 --> 00:16:43

is going to be different than mine. The way the lens you have

00:16:43 --> 00:16:48

reciting the words of ALLAH is different than mine. Try and

00:16:48 --> 00:16:53

that's an advice for you and for myself. Try to have a different

00:16:54 --> 00:16:58

relationship with the Quran this month a different connection with

00:16:58 --> 00:17:03

the Quran this month. If brother Luis found this this magnificent
