00:02:10--> 00:02:11

there are various

00:02:12--> 00:02:34

reasons that people have said Why do these broken letters after several reasons and many books have been written volume there have been some say these are the symbols of Allah subhanaw taala. Some say the abbreviation like noon is for nor that is light. Some say they are signatures of Allah subhanaw taala Some say they use for rhyming.

00:02:35--> 00:03:12

Some say they have got numerical values. Some say they've been used for calling attention attract the attention of the Prophet and profit used it for the other human were his reasons, but the best amongst them, I feel is the view which is also offered Abubakar LLP with him. For example, we know what the body is made up of. Whatever components the body has, the same elements and components are present in the earth, in lesser or greater quantity. We know the constituents of the human be, we can buy from the market. We can put water we can't give life that is a secret. Similarly, Allah subhana wa Taala used these letters

00:03:14--> 00:03:20

and tells to the Arabs, the Arabs at that time, they were proud of the language.

00:03:22--> 00:03:51

And Arabic was at its peak. So Allah says Alif Lam Meem yacine Poff loon, these are your letters with your letters f produce the Quran, he challenges them to produce somewhat similar to the Quran. And this challenge is given in several places. Insert tool, chapter number 52, verse number 34 that produce a book like the Quran. Allah depicts a message insert extra chapter number 17, verse number 88, Allah says, produce a recital like the Quran,

00:03:52--> 00:04:03

then Allah makes the challenge a bit easier. It says in Surah Hood, chapter number 11, verse number 13, that Allah challenges that can you produce 10 surah like the Quran,

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

Allah further simplify the challenge in Surah, you know, step number 10 verse number 38, that produce a single surah like the Quran, Allah makes it simplified. Further, in Surah Baqarah chapter two verse number 2324, Allah says,

00:04:20--> 00:04:59

we're in quantum field a man has done a lab Deena photography surah mystery, that if you are in doubt as what we have revealed to a servant, Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, then produce a surah thumb what's similar to it?

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

Challenge. Allah says to the Arabs who were proud of the language this is your letter Alif Lam Meem ABCD. From your letters, I've created the Quran, he challenges try and produce a surah somewhat similar to the Quran. So this is the closest explanation that I feel is right. It's the challenge Allah is given. And that is the reason movement is broken letters mentioned in the Quran immediately after that there is some

00:05:28--> 00:05:35

attribute of the Koran mentioned after that. So I feel this explanation I feel is the closest to the meaning of the broken letters and Allah Allah
