00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			Alhamdulillah wa salatu wa salam wa ala rasulillah.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			Last night we completed Surat al-Hajj.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			I'm just going to talk about a few
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			verses in the middle of Surat al-Hajj
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:40
			which are associated with a controversial story which
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:45
			has been used to spread negative slander against
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48
			Islam and the spread of Islam and against
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			So it's important to hear the whole story
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:56
			before leaving so that you don't go with
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			a misunderstanding.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			Also, it's on video, so the people who
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			are watching this video, they are also requested
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			to listen to the whole story so that
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			they get a better understanding of what that
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:08
			story is about.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			It's mentioned in a riwayah that the Prophet
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:16
			ﷺ, once he was reciting some verses from
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:16
			Surat al-Najm.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:20
			And in Surat al-Najm, Allah ﷻ says,
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:29
			أَفَرَأِيْتُمُ اللَّاتَ وَالْعُزَّ وَمَنَاتَ الثَّالِثَةَ الْأُخْرَى And after
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:34
			that, as he was reciting, he inserted, and
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			again this is a riwayah, which you'll hear
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			the validity of afterwards.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:43
			He recited, تِلْكَ الْغَرَانِي قُلْ عُلَىٰ وَإِنَّ شَفَاعَتَهُنَّ
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:48
			لَتُرْتَجَى So this, the verses, أَفَرَأِيْتُمُ اللَّاتَ وَالْعُزَّ
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			did you see اللَّاتَ وَالْعُزَّ which were two
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			statues of the Quraysh.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:56
			And وَمَنَاتَ is another statue of Quraysh.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			This is the third one that was mentioned.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:05
			اللَّات وَالْعُزَّ وَمَنَاتَ So after that, Allah ﷻ
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			says, the real verse is, it talks about
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:12
			male and female and so on, that the
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			Quraysh used to say that Allah ﷻ has
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:19
			daughters and the daughters are the angels and
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:19
			so on.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			So to denounce that Allah ﷻ mentioned some
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			verses.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:29
			But after these verses about اللَّات وَالْعُزَّ the
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:33
			Prophet ﷺ said, تِلْكَ الْغَرَانِي قُلْ عُلَىٰ وَإِنَّ
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			شَفَاعَتَهُنَّ لَتُرْتَجَى which is not part of the
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:36
			Qur'an.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:41
			And they mean, these verses mean that these
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:47
			glorious statues or these glorious idols, indeed their
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			shafa'ah or intercession can be hoped for.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:51
			Subhanallah.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:57
			So the idols which Islam is completely against,
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:01
			shirk associating with Allah ﷻ, Islam is completely
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:01
			against.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:05
			And then according to this riwayah, the Prophet
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:08
			ﷺ is praising the idols and he is
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			saying, not only is he saying that they
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:14
			are glorious, rather he is saying, on top
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			of that he is saying that their intercession
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			can be hoped for.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			So this story continues.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			I am going to finish the story and
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			then the verse associated with it and then
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			the reality behind the story.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			So when the, and then the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:33
			continued until the end of Surah an-Najm,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			at the end of Surah an-Najm there
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			is a sajdah, he prostrated and also all
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:41
			of the kuffar of Quraysh, they prostrated alongside
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:41
			with him.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			Two of the kuffar of Quraysh that were
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:46
			old, they could not do so, so they
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			even took up some soil from the ground
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			and put it to their head to indicate
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			that they were prostrating.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			And then they went home very happy that
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58
			today Muhammad has said something that was very
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01
			pleasing to us and if he continues to
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			say things like this, then we are going
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			to go along with him because he is
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			praising our idols.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:09
			So after this, Jibreel ﷺ came down to
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			the Prophet ﷺ and said, Ya Rasulullah, how
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			come you said something today that I never
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:14
			brought for you?
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			I never revealed these verses that you said,
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			how come you said that?
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21
			And the Prophet ﷺ became very upset and
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:26
			he became very despondent at what had happened
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			and then Allah ﷻ revealed the verses which
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			are in Surah Al-Hajj, which I am
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:31
			going to recite now.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			There has never been a Prophet before you,
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			no Rasul or Nabi before you and we
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			heard the difference between Rasul and Nabi from
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			Mufti Said last night.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			He mentioned what is the difference between them.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:00
			So there has never been any Rasul or
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			any Nabi before you except whenever he made
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:07
			a Tamannah and here Tamannah refers to reciting.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:12
			Whenever he recited, the Shaytan, he inserted things
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:13
			inside that recitation.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:17
			The Shaytan inserted things inside that recitation.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:24
			So Allah ﷻ, he deleted or omitted what
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			the Shaytan had put.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:29
			Then he made strong his own verses.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:34
			Indeed Allah ﷻ is all-knowing and all
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:34
			-wise.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:39
			So what is the reality behind this story?
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			And what does it actually mean?
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44
			And if it is true, then actually the
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:48
			whole Quran can come under scrutiny that how
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			many of those verses did the Shaytan influence
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:56
			and try to change or distort.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			Is that a possibility?
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			So this Riwayah is used by the non
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:05
			-Muslims nowadays to actually put doubt into the
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:08
			minds of the Muslims and to show that
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:12
			the Shaytan had an influence on the Prophet
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			ﷺ.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			So what is the reality behind this story?
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:19
			The scholars have come to the conclusion that
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			this story, there is a lot of weakness
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:24
			behind it and some scholars even go as
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			far as to say that it is a
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:30
			fabricated story, there is no source behind it
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			and there is no validity to this actual
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:33
			story.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			However, others have said that there is some
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:39
			validity to the story and what actually happened
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40
			was this.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			The thing that actually happened was that the
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			Prophet ﷺ, he is reciting and he was
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			reciting according to the command of Allah SWT
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:48
			with Tarteel.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			Tarteel means to recite slowly.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55
			So he used to recite slowly and he
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:58
			used to put gaps between the verses and
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:02
			while he was reciting these verses, in the
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:06
			middle, the Shaytan intervened and imitating the sound
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			of the Prophet ﷺ, he said those verses.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:14
			وَإِنَّ الشَّفَاعَةَ هُمَّ لَتُرْتَجَ And because he imitated
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			the Prophet ﷺ so well, everybody thought it
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:19
			was the Prophet ﷺ that said it and
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			even the Kuffar of Quraysh, they thought that
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:24
			he said it and they fell into prostration
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27
			at the end of Surah An-Najm.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:31
			So according to the real understanding of what
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:35
			this verse means, this verse or the story
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:39
			means, this verse actually, we can understand it
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:39
			another way.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43
			But, وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ مِن رَسُولٍ وَلَا
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:46
			نَبِيٍ Whenever there was a Prophet, Rasul or
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			Nabi that came before you, or Prophet of
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:51
			Allah, there was, whenever he used to recite,
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:55
			أَلْقَى الشَّيْطَانُ فِي أُمْنِيَتِهِ The Shaytan used to
		
00:07:55 --> 00:08:02
			intervene within the recitation and try to fool
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05
			people as the story suggests that I've just
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:06
			mentioned.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:10
			So Allah SWT فَيَنْسَفُ اللَّهُ مَا يُلْقِي الشَّيْطَانُ
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:13
			ثُمَّ يَحْكِمُ اللَّهُ آيَاتِهِ Allah SWT would cancel
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:16
			out whatever the Shaytan had put and he
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			would make his own verses stronger.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:22
			وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ Allah is indeed all-knowing
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			and all-wise.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			So if you come across this story, if
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:30
			you come across this story, remember that it
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:33
			did not happen according to what people are
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:36
			trying to portray that actually the Prophet SAW
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:40
			recited these verses which were incorrect or said
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			statements which were completely against the spirit of
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:45
			Islam which contained shirk.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:48
			It is impossible for us to believe that
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:51
			otherwise again the whole Quran's validity comes into
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			question.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:56
			The whole Wahi and the Prophet SAW's Prophethood
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			and the whole message comes into question.
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			What actually happened was that as the Prophet
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:05
			SAW recited the Shaytan imitated him, said some
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			words and people thought that it was the
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:11
			Prophet SAW reciting and to console the Prophet
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:14
			at the end Allah SWT revealed these verses
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			to tell him that this has happened with
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:18
			Prophets before.
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			The Shaytan has tried this with the Prophets
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21
			SAW before.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			You are not the first one.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			So if it happened to you and the
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:28
			Shaytan imitated you and made this sound come
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			as if it was coming from you this
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			is not something new.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33
			So O Prophet of Allah do not be
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:36
			upset and do not take it to heart.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:39
			This is something that has happened before to
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40
			other Prophets SAW too.
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:44
			So we also need to understand the validity
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			of the story and we need to understand
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:49
			what is the reality of the story before
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:52
			we, when we hear this any negativity about
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:55
			it we should have a response and understand
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:58
			the true nature of what happened so that
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			we can have a good response ready so
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			that the person who is trying to accuse
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:06
			Islam he will realize that he is in
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:09
			the wrong and Islam is still valid, the
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			Quran is valid and nothing the Shaytan has
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:14
			never influenced or changed or tampered with the
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:15
			Quran.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			It is in its intact and original state
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19
			as it was revealed to us from the
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22
			Prophet SAW from Jibrail AS and from Allah
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23
			SWT.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			I pray that Allah SWT gives us Tawfiq
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			to understand and practice what is being said
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:27
			and heard.
