thank you
let's
get ready to start
first of all i would like to say to all
of you
ramadan
and ramadan
will bring the karam of allah subhanahu
ta'ala
to us
so it's ramadan kareem it's because it
comes from arab that is kareem you know
so that's why
you know it's a gift from allah and it's
very interesting just to live the
environment
as we speak right now
you have to kind of
feel it in your mind and in your heart
and your soul that all the gates of
jannah
have been
opened one after another the prophet
salallahu salem just wanted to give an
imagination to people that he told them
like from
basically
that the width of one door one gate
and that's just to get you to understand
it's a huge gaze
and the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam said what they will come and
those eight gates will be crowded
you can't even get in
that's insha'allah we are one of these
people that will be
pushing and crowding to intergen
inshallah
so
i start
as usually
the traditional beautiful way in
alhamdulillah
foreign
so what are we going to do today
today we are going to do two things um
we're going to finish this seminar that
we started inshallah we'll try and maybe
we'll continue
after the eight raka if we'll see
but i'll try to wrap things up but also
towards the end we will do
summary so inshallah you can go to the
you know wbma mca my my personal uh you
know facebook and you will find
inshallah the
summary
um uh on every day after madrid you know
after iftar by
um
what time is if not today was 7 35 you
know
you know so 7 35 see around
8 10
you know we do a quick 5 to 10 minutes
the summary so that when you come
to hear the jesus from the imam
you kind of have an idea what the imam
will recite today
so inshallah starting from tomorrow
we'll be going live around 8 10 8 15
just so that all the listeners are clear
today we're starting early obviously and
inshallah tomorrow will be our first day
of fasting insha'allah
so
what we were trying to cover since the
beginning
are four topics
they're all connected to one another so
in the big picture we understand how
ramadan works ramadan is like a matrix a
system
and the same one that designed those
galaxies those
you know stars with and black holes the
same
god that created allah
and the same god who created
is the same god same illah
that sent for us this deen islam so
islam on the surface it looks simple
just like right now you look at
you know the world everything sunrise
sunset it's predictable it's simple but
when scientists went down to the deep of
the atom
then
everything started not making sense and
they started talking about the subatomic
particles and quantum physics to a point
where the most famous saying
of the
physicists who are concerned about the
atom and the smaller atoms they say
if you think you understood
quantum physics that means you did not
understand it
and those are the top-notch people in
the field they say it's just so elusive
how
the the universe functions on a big
level macro level totally different than
it functions on a micro level the same
illah allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala who
designed the universe is the same that
designed islam so let's not over
simplify islam and think it's a simple
simple not all the time it is simple and
you know it seems the voice is coming
back and forth so what are the four
topics first topic we covered
we talked about the month of ramadan and
how the month of ramadan historically
before there was ever fasting in ramadan
it was a special month
the story of islam
your story my story why we are muslims
today
it's because of one night that took
place
in ramadan
we have a there's a western tradition
it's called birthday birthday party
the day you were born
you celebrate
it looks cute when you're younger when
you get older you don't want to do a
birthday party you don't want to invite
anyone you don't want to tell people how
old are you and what is it there to
celebrate you're closer to death by one
year you didn't gain one year you just
lost one year of your entire life so
good luck
we don't do that but
subhanallah when it comes if someone to
ask you by the way what's the birthday
of islam
first of all from the day allah created
adam
allah sent him with al-islam it's the
same simple formula but very
sophisticated remember simple but also
deep
and sophisticated
but for us
muslims the ummah of prophet muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wasallam
the birthday of islam
is
the month of ramadan
the year that the prophet salallahu
sallam was 40 years lunar years which
means 39 solar years the way you and i
count our age he was 39 the lunar years
he was 40.
and it happened most likely around the
year 609 610 611. what year are we in
today 2022.
we're in 2022 in the year 14
43 hijriya
very good so
think with me now you and i are sitting
people thought the end of the world was
morocco anyone from morocco here
mashallah
so do you know what they called morocco
they called it the west not a west
there's no more
there's nothing after that there is
ocean then you fall off the cliff the
after the atlantic one they did not know
that there is people here muslims knew
and muslim came to this land i believe
before and that's why christopher
columbus when he saw them he said those
are morris
the same year muslims lost spain is the
same year christopher columbus landed
here muslims lost spain around february
march
and on august
you know queen isabella and king
fernandez financed
the
italian sailor christopher columbus and
he came here and he thought he landed in
india
so he said they look like indian because
they didn't know there is a continent in
the middle they were just trying to find
a shortcut to china and india so that
they have a shortcut he landed on a
whole other land same year 1492.
so
to think about this we are right now
sitting on the new west where are we
california how far are we from the ocean
half an hour
what is this this is the new al maghrib
that's why some people like to call it
california
california
anyway we are at the newest there's no
more west from here
massive land continent there's more
islands you go to hawaii you go to the
uh
samoan uh you go to the pacific
islanders you reach to the philippines
then to indonesia malaysia there is no
more mass land from here so look at you
and i year 2022
what is 2022
minus 610.
yellow
pull your phones and calculate it
ain't nobody doing math with their head
anymore
so 2 000 minus 600 very easy you don't
know how to do this simplify the amount
that's 1400
610
right so that's 1390 but then you have
22
that's
you know
fourteen
fourteen
uh
twelve so
so you just go back and forth in your
head fourteen twelve one thousand four
hundred and twelve years
what are we doing in the month of the
quran in the month of ramadan
we are back
the same book
the same book and alhamdulillah
you know just another gift so that allah
lift up our spirit
five years ago they released what they
found a hundred years ago almost in a
wall in a masjid in yemen
they took it they found a copy of the
quran took it to birmingham they kept it
there they opened it did god been carbon
dating they found it dates back to the
time of the life of the prophet muhammad
we have a copy from when he was alive
the christians went even christian
scientists they said muslims should be
really excited about this
the oldest bible is the one written by
mark 100 years
after the rise of jesus ali salaam and
nobody sure who wrote the gospel of mark
it says the gospel of mark but did mark
write it nobody knows
the earliest copy of the torah
scientifically historically that is
written was written six to eight hundred
years after musa alaihissalam
historically
i believe it was written at his time it
was early but what we know the earliest
copies written is 600 to 800 years after
musa al-islam we have a copy of the
quran when the prophet sallallahu salaam
was there what are the four topics that
we're talking about the month of ramadan
is the month of the quran
it is the birthday of islam it is the
night in which the prophet sallallahu
alaihi received the first revelation and
the story started again
124
000 prophets how many
124 000 profits
316 messengers how many
316 messengers right
i'm doing some you know repetition the
prophet sallallahu alaihi should it be
the same thing three times and they
found out right now when you read
something three times it sticks in your
head
316 messengers how many prophets
124 000 prophets the final for the last
time jibreel ali salam comes
and
it brings the final book in day one
narration the prophet sallallahu salaam
said allah revealed 105 books
50 of them were for the son of adam
sheikh not mentioned in the quran seth
in in according to the bible
50 of them humanity was new they needed
laws they needed them you know so there
is different but of watch of 105 we know
five
sohaf ibrahim sohafi musa which is a
torah
as zaboor for satan
and finally al-quran this revelation
came to him
in one of the nights of ramadan in the
cave of hera
and it came at night not in the day it
came at night and it made every night in
ramadan blessed
so the first topic we covered is that
ramadan is the month of the quran
let's talk about ramadan so we talked
about ramadan i cannot repeat that
lecture second topic
fasting what is fasting we talked about
seven levels of fasting each level
matches one of your layers as allah
mentioned
in the quran where like seven layers one
layer laying on the top each layer needs
a fasting and each layer has a different
type of fasting from your body to your
nephs emotional heart
mind deep mind rooh and depth seven
layers
and each one and we talked about that in
the first time we covered two topics
then last friday we talked about
a taqwa
because allah told us in the quran
just in case you are confused and you
don't come up with answers from your
head why do we fast so that we can feel
with the poor
no that's not the answer from the quran
we fast so that we can gain taqwa that's
why we fast so we went over the word
taqwa and how allah used it to describe
different things we went over like 30 40
different types of taqwa that allah
mentioned in the quran and that was not
all of them obviously that was still
part of them so one of the things that i
thought maybe i can do a one minute
live streaming every day in ramadan and
just read an ayah and arabic translated
in english and speak about it something
within a minute or two just to give you
a new type of taqwa every day right so
we talked about that
the final piece is
we didn't speak about al-quran
and that's what we want to talk about
first night of ramadan couldn't have
been better planned by allah that we
ended up talking about the quran in the
month of the quran and the first night
of ramadan alhamdulillah
this why these four topics are because
allah simply said i want you to fast so
there's fasting so that you can gain
taqwa so there is taqwa
i want you to fast so that you can gain
taqwa that's the first ayah 183.
then
184 gives you some details 185 allah
says i want you to fast no
the month of ramadan is the month in
which the quran was revealed so
whosoever witnessed the month let them
faster
so allah says i want you to fast
so that you can gain taqwa
specifically in the month of ramadan
because it's the month of the quran
if that is not clear in your head then
ramadan is mushy in your head then
nothing there is no clarity and as we
will find out today one of the names of
al-quran that allah keeps on repeating
in the quran
is mubin
mubin
what does mubin mean it doesn't only
mean that the quran is clear clear
message no no it is clarifying
clarifying if it talks about the topic
it will clarify it for you and that's
very important so
four topics has to be clear in your mind
the quran
allah said i want you to fast in the
month of ramadan because fasting leads
to taqwa
but i want you to fast to gain taqwa in
the month of ramadan why why not any
other month because the month of ramadan
is the month in which the quran was
revealed so now
if ramadan is the month of taqwa rama
ramadan is the month of the quran
and if fasting
leads to taqwa
are you with me
ramadan is the month of the quran and
fasting leads to taqwa then now we want
to find out what
relation we want to close the matrix the
circle what's the relation between taqwa
and the quran
because allah is building a case in your
head you have to know what's going on
when you read the ayat ramadan is the
month of the quran i want you to fast in
ramadan which is the month of the quran
so that you can gain taqwa so now it's
your job to connect between taqwa and
the quran and that's what we will
attempt to do tonight insha allah and
whether before isha or after isha and
inshallah around
855 if you can just do like this for me
so that i can switch to the summary so
[Music]
if you went through this before keep it
to yourself this is the first time hear
me hearing me asking you this question
then enjoy the question
i'm going to ask you a question very
simple question does any one of you
here has the quran with him
do you have the quran with you anyone
here
okay show me
where
you wanna go and get one
you sit down
anyone else you guys don't ah
thank you raise it high
anyone else
where do you have it
you have it time that's on the phone
guys nobody it's on the phone masha
allah we have the type because i'm the
shaykh and the imam and i'm special i am
bigger than you all right
i beat you
look how nice is this i asked here
brother you know saying
to get me the quran where are you
here and he got me this i said
find me a nice
you know quran inside so
you will not
be able to understand
the quran and for it to open for you on
in ramadan until you change this once
and for all in your life
took over and so many wars broke and
people like the idea oh i'm a prophet oh
i get followers oh i get money oh so
they started one after another claiming
that their prophets they started
attacking medina sahaba had to fight
back so many memorizers of the quran
died
so
say say no
the memorizers of the quran are dying
right and left
and people have written the quran in
their homes
while the prophet salallahu is alive
so why don't we put together a committee
collect
the copies that are written
collect from all the memorizers and make
one record one book like you know just
one record
one binder that has the record
what was the answer saying
no way
you want me to make a bidah
what you and i
called the quran
according to abu bakr siddiq
and to the rest of the sahaba it was
called bida
and it was a bidah
so you're confused why is it
because the prophet sallallahu alaihi
by the time he died
full-time
hard writers 30 writers another
part-time another 30 writers total 60
but the the the tough ones 30 writers
even among the 30 writers they were five
strong writers that they always got the
quran when rasulullah received
he will call them they will come he will
recite it they will memorize it and
write it down and go home
but the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam
after he did that he did not tell
in his life hey all of you get all the
copies in your homes
and make it one copy and bring it to me
one copy he never asked that
it stayed where
at home everyone with his copy
this form
this form even with this very nice
binder right
this form
of a key tab
especially with these thin pages is
something new human beings started
writing like this something new the
printing you know the printing just in
germany the first printing thing and you
know it's just a hundred years old
so
people lived and died
at the time of the prophet sallallahu
alaihi
and they haven't seen something like
this especially in arabia
that had
maybe one percent of the population that
knew how to read and write
so
it took abu bakr
one month
of nagging on the head of satan abu bakr
telling him let's do it let's do it
let's do it and say that what said i'm
not doing it i'm not doing it i'm not
doing it
finally allah opened the heart and the
chest of saying
and then he called zayd abner
who was from quraish memorizer of the
quran one of the writers too and was
very very academic subhanallah
we invented the academic method
he said to him and the hadith is known
or omar has come to me and asked me to
write it like this in one collection and
i have refused but after a month allah
opened my heart so
choose people with you to be in a
committee
and go and collect it from everyone that
memorizes everyone that has written put
a method and tell it to me and then go
and execute the job
saydna zaid abnorth habit made an
academic way what's the academic way
i need
for me to write even though i memorize
the whole quran but i'm the head of the
committee and even though the five
people with me they're also memorizers
of the quran but we're not going to go
by what we do
we are going to bring for every ayah
two witnesses
two memorizers at least and two writers
two memorizers and two writers once you
bring me the memorization and the
written then i add it in this one copy
this copy represents all the other what
copies
so what happened
they did nothing
stayed at it
for a year or two until he finished the
job
and came to saydna
and gave him the first copy
the first universal collected agreed
upon copy of al-quran
the sahaba looked at it and they were
fascinated they've never seen anything
like this
just so that you know
99 of the sahaba lived and died and
they've never seen the quran in this
form
99 of muslims
99.9999
like elections in the arab world
like 99 99.99
you understand
of the entire muslim world
of the entire muslim world
converted to islam from morocco to china
xi'an china all the way to morocco and
from north borders of russia
south to south africa
islam spread in 30 to 50 years like
you've never seen before and without
the sword you know the conquering had
nothing to do with the converting
as a matter of fact
there are countries that muslims
conquered and the people did not convert
and there are countries that muslims did
not convert and the people converted
not a single muslim soldier landed in
malaysia indonesia or singapore they all
mostly became muslim
but muslims landed and ruled like kings
for 1 000 years in india
for every one muslim in india and here i
mean india bangladesh pakistan let's put
them back together
in one india and who created india
aurangzeb a muslim king there was no
india before there were small kingdoms
small kingdoms and rajas and khans and
everyone was ruling one or two cities
the one who united all of india in one
kingdom was a muslim king his name is
he used to earn his living from writing
the copies of the quran
and then selling it in the market
he never took a dime from the
budget of the government so this
in india muslims ruled for over a
thousand years for every one muslim in
india there is still two hindus
because we never force people to become
muslims it's a myth we never converted
so where no muslim soldier landed
everyone converted when muslim soldiers
landed
two out of three did not convert
so islam did not spread by the sword but
from morocco
to where
all the way to china and from turkey and
anatolia all the way to where to
southern south africa islam spread and
not a single muslim saw this in their
lifetime
this was never a point of reference to
what the quran is
it's a point of reference to you and i
in my imagination but your great great
great great great grandfather who
converted to islam you've never seen
this
and that's not why they converted islam
because they saw the quran like this
so the sahaba had a task at their hand
they had a problem
what do we call this
what do we call it
so in the arabic language
one
so when we put the soho together in one
binder
then it becomes mushaf
the only people
as far as i know
in the muslim world
that still call this its correct name
are the egyptians
do i have any egyptians in the room
masha'allah
your stocks are going high today
inshallah
and they even when they want to swear
they don't say well quran they say well
by the book of allah i did not lie by
the book of allah i did this where's the
word mushaf comes comes from the word
did the sahabah call this quran
no
and if you want to enjoy quran starting
tonight you need to clear that out of
your mind and heart
this is the mushaf okay so what's the
difference in the mushaf when you open
it
definitely there is the record of
so when does the mushaf that has the
record of the quran
when does it become quran
it needs a human interaction
you need to recite it loud
why because the word quran came from the
word qara
meaning recited loud
and reciting it loud
makes it
quran so when you recite the quran loud
you take
the word of allah from being ink on
paper must have to become in quran
the first word that was revealed is
recite loud that's why
whether it is
[Music]
but never recite the quran in your head
in salah your lips have to always be
moving and some breath is coming out
even in the asar
but they don't teach us that when we are
young and we start reading in our head
that's not called
that's not quran that's in your head
for you to count we need to move your
lips without disturbing the people
around you just move your lips you can
barely hear yourself as long as you're
moving your lips and the breath is
coming out like the sahaba used to see
the beard of the prophet moving from
behind him in salat
in every raka when he's reciting the
quran you should also move your
jaw and lips for this to become the
quran so
then what is the quran
the quran
allah described it with the most
fascinating things
it is
i can barely hear
allah
foreign
receive the quran
always
reciting
rasulullah
is listening
when jibreel comes to the prophet
sallallahu alaihi and he's reciting it
to him
he's coming in one of two formats one in
the unseen and it's the most difficult
on the prophet sallam when jibril used
to descend down on him and rasool is
sitting on his camel even his camel with
big legs cannot sit down he had to set
it down the camel
pressure
and then rasulallah will be sweating in
a cold day
that's one form of the other form which
actually abundantly jibril is in a form
of a human
and the human as a human he sat in front
of the prophet sallallahu and he recited
quran and rasulullah
heard it and it got engraved imprinted
in his heart and he memorized it and
then what
and then he recited it to the people
around him
you understand
so
why in the world
do we to the masjid to pray tarawih in
ramadan
do you know why so that we can
experience the quran in its original
form exactly like rasulullah sallam
experienced it except jibril doesn't
come on us nor he talks to us he already
talked to the prophet salallahu
what is the quran in its original form
the quran in its own original form is a
recitation that you hear understand
internalize
and practice and then it becomes part of
you and recite if you recite it it
becomes the quran if you don't recite it
it's back to the muslif
this has the record of the quran when
islam spread people forgot the word
mushaf and started calling this the
quran
if you go to the sahaba they never call
this the quran they call it
what was the quran so if i walked
here and we had sahabi and sahabas and i
asked him the same question
which one of you has the quran they will
all look at me confused what do you mean
what do you mean i have the quran like
do you mean i memorize it and you don't
like do you mean i know a surah that you
know do you mean you want me to recite
something to you
so what do we do
during 30 nights of ramadan we come to
the masjid and we hear the imam reciting
the book of allah
in the original form recitation and
we're listening exactly like the prophet
salallahu listen to it and it gets in
our heart and that's why we try our best
to come to the masjid every night and
pray tarawih and witness the entire
recitation of the quran other than
reading it ourselves at home
so both
reciting is quran and listening to the
quran what happens when you come to the
masjid and listen to that you become
part of the greatest chain of narrators
a chain of narrator you listening it
from your sheikh from
who learned it from his shaykh who
learned from his shaykh and william from
his sheikh who learned from israel who
learned from the prophet sallallahu
alaihi
who heard it
from jibril alaihissalam who learned it
from allah subhanahu ta'ala there isn't
a greater synod that you can become and
that's what happens when you come to the
masjid and listen to the quran in the
masjid from the imam reciting
you become part of that silla you become
part
grant us the memorization of the entire
quran in one day so that we can carry it
where do we put this
when we're done reading where do we put
it
where do we put this when we're done
reading
on the shelf
the must-have you put it on the shelf
where do you put the quran
in your heart
you need to liberate yourself from
thinking that this is i have the quran
no you don't
i have the quran no you don't
the quran is what is in your heart and
what you understand and what you that's
the quran this is the muslim you have
the copy of the mushaf which holds the
record of the quran no doubt this has
nothing else but the record of the quran
we're not i'm not saying that i'm not
saying oh this is nothing no no this is
great respect but the sahaba you know
when
rafa made seven copies
he used to sit at home because they've
never done and he used to sit down for
hours at end
[Music]
and his wife will say
you memorized this you've been sitting
for hours what's going on he said come
come look at the book of allah in the
written format
look this is this is totally strange to
the sahaba looking at this was like whoa
come look
for us we think this is it
for them
this was very strange experience
so we have to really bring back and
that's why you know this is the most
important point that i wanted to share
with you
tonight and if you look
allah says in this in the record in the
quran is the explanation of everything
you go to google you see how many books
in the library of the congress there is
over 30 million books
how 30 million books
how's the quran have more than 30
million books
because you are thinking the quran is
this
the quran is the word of allah
the quran has more than 30 million books
the same god that created
hundreds of and thousands of billions of
galaxies is the same god who revealed
this book
the prophet sallallahu alaihi when
people are resurrected on the day of
judgment
scholars not scholars when they stand on
the day of judgment and they listen
to how when the quran is recited and
explained the prophet said
as if no one ever read it and no one
ever understood it when allah start
bringing from the quran the treasures
and the gems
so
liberate yourself and start now we're
going to start when you hear the word
quran we're not going to think this
anymore when you hear the word mushaf
this is the muslim
what's in the mushaf the record of the
quran
where is the quran what is the quran
what did allah call the quran
what did allah call the quran
and be careful arabic is very specific
allah didn't call the quran
he called it shifa
muslims started writing the quran
with an ink you know the old ink pens
they write the quran then they take the
paper and they like wash it with water
then they drink the water
allah didn't say it's
he said it's shifa shifa is healing
shifa is on a higher level dawah is on a
physical level shifa goes way beyond the
physics above and beyond what did allah
call the quran
what did allah call the quran
the reminder
what did allah call the quran
by the way another point i need to
clarify for you ya sheikh you said this
is not why did allah call the quran
isn't this kitab
this is the modern
meaning of the word kitab the words
kitab at the time of the prophet
salallahu meant
an important message an important
message it didn't mean a book like this
what's the first surah revealed in in
in makkah it is
that is the book you're reading and
what's going in your head
but when surat al-baqarah was revealed
there was no kitab like this so it's not
saying
what is it saying is not going what's
going in your head you understand
what is the meaning of the word kitab i
really go very quickly here and
already
right
so
you know in this guitar like basically
i just want to show you something
very interesting
this one letter just one letter
is called kitab
this is used to be this is the kitab of
rasulullah
to the king of rome hercules
kisrah the king of persia mukakas the
king of egypt najashi the king of
abyssinian look look you want to look
what kitab
this is four and these are originals
and they're true copies and they're
saved
one if you read
and the arabs at the time the prophet
they had no problem writing half of the
word up half of the word down just like
english you know when you have the word
you put dash and then the last one here
you see the word on the top the king
these are four
how many pages
one
kitab does not mean this this is not
what a kitab meant at the time of the
prophet sallallahu alaihi so liberate
your mind the kitab means important
message
a leader of a tribe can bring someone
whom he trusts he can give him a secret
message send him to another leader of a
tribe and that would still be called
kitab even if there wasn't this
kitab means
important
vital message you understand so
this
probably the first copy of almost
probably it looked like this something
like this no doubts no this probably
they try and that's when they looked at
this there wasn't many like this you
know the arabs the most they got they
would write the poem in like the paper i
showed you before and they will hang it
on they called
this is how and this is how the quran
transferred from one teacher to another
men
teaching men and women women teaching
men and women beautiful masha'allah from
one generation to another so
rasulullah
said to us that you know
every time you recite quran tin hasana
every time you what
recite
and he said i'm not saying alif lam mean
one letter no alif letter lam letter and
meme letter
so am i think a question how many qurans
do we have
one how many surahs we have in the quran
114
how many ayahs do we have
many how many years rasulullah lived
23 years as a prophet from age 40 to 63.
put 23 in the middle put 6 before and 6
after that's the number of the ayat of
the quran 6 2 3 6. got it how many
words are in the quran
7 7 7
9 7
how many
7 7 7 9 7 how many letters in the quran
three hundred and thirty thousand
seven hundred and nine letters
multiply that by ten minimum and in the
month of ramadan is multiply only allah
knows and that's why
you know when you look here in the
beginning subhanallah the first surah
that was revealed in madina
so we'll go quickly over the jesus
summary after surat al-fatiha surat
al-baqarah you know
five ayat about
are you with me did i go too fast
five ayat
about the believers two ayah about the
disbelievers who done and 12 to 14 ayat
talking about who
let's go with 12 talking about the
hypocrites in makkah there was no
hypocrisy the movement of hypocrites
appeared in medina when muslims became
strong subhanallah when you go
immediately
in the third page right first page
second page first five ayat they always
like to decorate it
but there's you know then here
third page fourth page here already
allah issued a challenge to the whole
world
you wanna you wanna you wanna challenge
bring another book like it
no one answered the challenge every time
someone in arabia tried to mimic the
quran everybody made fun of him come on
man we that's not that doesn't sound
like that you understand then you go
here next page immediately allah talks
about the story of the beginning of the
creation story of adam alaihissalam
starts from here allah tells the angels
i'm going to place
an agent a sub cert you know
uh vice gerund a representative on earth
we worship you we're we're perfect we're
good we do whatever you want allah says
i know what you don't know
i'm going to give adam knowledge and i'm
going to give adam
and once i give him the knowledge
and once i give him the rule you make
sujud to him iblis refused
so then allah gave him a chance a police
did not take that chance what ended up
happening
allah ended up
punishing him and casting him out of his
mercy after giving him multiple chances
subhanallah so here we are
in the next page subhanallah then allah
tells the story of adam
so adam ate from the tree allah said why
did you eat from the tree told by allah
i repent i ask for forgiveness allah
forgive him so you have two examples
you're going to either be stubborn and
follow the example of shaytan or you're
going to be
soft-hearted and follow the example of
adam alaihissalam our father when he
in this ayat
is there a blame on
eve that she ate first no
did shaytan come in the form of a
serpent which means a snake and
convinced eve to eat and then
eve after she ate knowing that she
shouldn't eat took the fruit gave it to
adam adam didn't know from which fruit
from which tree this fruit came he ate
so when god asked him why did you eat he
said it's that woman you put with me in
heaven it's because of her
you see
and then after that god subhana ta'ala
decided for the woman to go through the
pain of monthly cycle the pain of
delivery the pain of pregnancy the pain
of this as a punishment to what she did
in the quran the pain of pregnancy and
delivery is the most rewarded and
praised in the quran is called jihad
the story of the quran about adam and
eve fundamentally different than the
story of the bible teach that to your
children then we go and then the story
of the children of israel comes and the
beautiful story of satan
is
the most mentioned prophet in the quran
161 times
the name of muslims in the quran 63
times the next name ibrahim
25 times his mother made him 31 times
how many times rasulallah was mentioned
by name in the quran four times
but
in every other ayah allah speaks to him
directly without mentioning his name
every prophet in the quran allah called
him ibrahim
never allah called prophet by his first
name out of respect
there is no muhammad
the highest level of respect for an
arabic listener they know that
of tafsir understood that the story of
musa was very much detailed in the quran
first jesus second third in general
has the summary of the entire quran
the five pillars of islam mentioned in
surat al-baqarah the six articles of
iman
[Music]
the story of the beginning of the
creation in surat al-baqarah the
financial transactions the longest ayah
in the quran
in surat al-baqarah the greatest ayah in
the quran
the most rewarded ayah in the quran
if you read them in an evening
you've got nothing to worry about
you read them in the evening you have
nothing to worry about rasulullah said
if you recite the last of sultan baqarah
huh it's enough for you if you recite
surat and baqarah within three days at
your home today you start finish first
jerusalem tomorrow second jesus after
tomorrow third jesus imran
shaytan will not enter your house for at
least a month
surat al-baqarah is fully loaded do you
understand
everything in surat al-baqarah one of
the most beautiful ayat in the quran
also
the last ayah revealed in the quran
the last ayah revealed of the entirety
of the quran is in surat al-baqarah the
longest ayah in the quran is in surat
al-baqarah the greatest
people
they come as two clouds they cover you
on the day of judgement from the shade
from the sun heat and
everyone is scared you're sitting under
two clouds
don't let shaytan scare you from
it's the easiest
ask the memorizers of the quran
the easiest surah to memorize
for the memorizers once you get into the
short ones
that's the hard one
subhanallah counter to what you think
it's not what you think so i ask allah
you know this was this very quick
summary jesus summary because it
continues to talk about the stories of
the children of israel and we are about
to go and pray and in the third fourth
page allah says you know probably sixth
page in first year was
and it's too much people don't except
the one who has sure so may allah grant
us
and focus on our salah you don't
understand arabic no problem listen to
the imam enjoy it imagine yourself
sitting with the prophet sallallahu
alaihi
he's reciting the quran you're listening
it doesn't get any better than that and
may allah accept our from tonight
make this ramadan the best ramadan of
our lives not another ramadan the best
ramadan may allah enable us to read the
quran once and more than once may allah
give us the energy to pray tarawih every
night as much as we can may allah make
us give us the energy to make tasbih
this is the month
of allah
there's
