FATHER DUA

FATHER DUA

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

. O my father, the most gracious, the most merciful. 

What is the prayer of the Lord? O my Lord, what is the prayer of the Lord?

 My Lord, on my children, I beg you, O my Lord, O my Lord. I believe in you. 

Thank you, O my Lord, for your mercy. I pray to the Lord, O my Lord, that you don't abandon me. 

When I leave this world, O my Lord, pray for me.

 O my father, the most gracious, the most gracious. I pray to the Lord, O my Lord, that you don't abandon me. O my father, the most gracious, the most gracious. I pray to the Lord, O my Lord, that you don't abandon me. When I leave this world, O my Lord, that you don't abandon me.

In the third of the night, the right house has been built. Because my father was looking for me to stay. 

You, my God, with your beautiful eyes, when you left. And in the end of the road, everything has been forgotten. Some on Saturday, some in the evening. And we have the spirit of the Lord only with faith. When you leave the world, you know what will happen. 

And the birth of the son is in the heaven, I want to see I want to see my father, I want to go to the grave

. And let me go straight to the grave. Oh God, I love you so much. How can I stay? I want to see my father. I want to go to the grave; I want to see my father, I want to go to the grave. And let me go straight to the grave.


 Oh God, I love you so much! How can I stay? I want to see my father, I want to go to the grave.



When you don't give it the right, when you try to do damage, when you try to do a psychological damage, or a physical damage, or an emotional damage, when you try to cry for yourself, when you try to cry for yourself, when you try to jump from a tree, when you try to cry for yourself, when you try to get offended, when you try to cry for yourself, when you try to go out, when you try to do something bad, ask yourself, how do you deal with Allah? What do you allow yourself to do in this case? And what do you do? Today we are going to ask you three questions. In the meantime, the years are passing, while the prayer of happiness is being accepted. The years are passing, and the prayer of happiness is being accepted. Allah Azza wa Jalla does not give up. Lemni has said, 'Lemni, because I am an old sheikh, an old monk,' he has warned me. The prayer of happiness.


How do we deal with Allah when He does something wrong to us, when He does something wrong to us? In the end of this very important question, we have to focus, inshallah, on Allah, and we have to think about this. When someone doesn't accept the right, when someone commits a sin, when someone commits a psychological sin or a physical sin or an emotional sin, when someone cries for you, when someone cries for you, when someone takes a step away from you, when someone insults you, when someone offends you, when someone slanders you, when someone slanders Allah, what are you allowed to do in this case. This happens often. People are often afraid of your ideas, of your thoughts, of your convictions. And when someone does some misdeed, what is the use of you in this current situation.


Vlazni's followers have told us three alternatives that the muslims try to make him or her suffer. There are three possibilities when someone makes you suffer. First, those who have told the followers, and today we are going to talk about the first alternative, because what is allowed for you to suffer? They have said, you know, the first option you have to make is that you have the right to ask Allah to make you suffer against that person, against that person who has made you suffer. Someone has the opportunity now to say, 'No, no, no, stop making me suffer, don't make me suffer against you.' While you say, 'Believe me if I am a believer by death, I am going to make you suffer, but if someone says, 'I will collapse against him or her,' and you are going to run between me and Allah, then you will be tirée.


If you break between me and Allah, it is not for you. There is a story in the Holy Quran by Mu'az's name Guten, which that alcoliculu closes his throat to make him kill him in sinuous, the way he does injustice, because his way has no difference between him and Allah. It is clear, it is clear; it has come in the Hadith, in the Hadith where the Prophet said, 'Do not be afraid of those who do Zulm, even though he is a chaffer, even though he is not a Muslim.' Because he has no loss. He has this right, but it is not the best option; it is not the best alternative. The best will come; they will pass the Hadith; they will explain to the best what they can do.


For you it is better, for your country, for your end. But we do not have the opportunity to be afraid, it is very true, because this is for you. Even those who have disliked us, and the Sahabas, practically, I will give an example. We remember Allah Azza wa Jalla, Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqaz Lazni. Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqaz, I tell you, we talked about him. Yes, Ibn Amir Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. He was one of the first to accept Islam. Look at his face. The one who practically told us that this is not allowed. I tell you, Ibn Amir Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, as a short information about Sa'ad. He said, he wanted, and he told Sa'ad, he said, the Messenger of Allah said to me, 'Allahumme istajib lehu idha de'aq.' The Messenger of Allah said, 'O Allah, I accept this law, Sa'ad, when that law is yours.' So, Sa'ad accepted the law.


In the time of Umair, when Umair was the Caliph, Sa'ad was in Kufa, in Iraq. He was in Kufa as a leader. He was sent to Kufa. For the main purpose. For the main purpose. And now Umair has come to say that Sa'ad does not accept what is needed. He does not accept what is needed. And Umair, may Allah be pleased with him, has called a delegation in Kufa to verify whether this is true or not. And to solve this issue. When the person went to Kufa, there were people of Kufa in the Kufa mosque, the leaders of Kufa. Even Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqas was there. And now, he asks people, are they connected to Sa'ad? Is it true what Sa'ad wants? They say, but they plan that it is normal.


It is good news. Sa'ad was educated by the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. He had the opportunity to change. Only one person is left in Kufa. The mosque was built there. He called a person called Qom. And he said something about Sa'ad. Very strange. Three words. Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqas said. He called Qom and said, 'Sa'ad does not swear by the law.' And he does not justify the case. And he does not go out of the house. He said, 'Sa'ad, is it true? Sa'ad does not give what he wants. And he does not give justice. He is not right. And when he is able to give war, he does not give war. Many strange stories. Strange news. For Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqas, this is very strange.


When someone has the position and the high status in society, this is very strange. How do you keep this important storage space? It is linked up in a monastery or matrix. And where are all the trees? Where's all the water, water? Its water is bound to fight. Water is not sufficient in a resolution. Sa'ad Ibn Abi Waqqas now says. Practically showing us what is allowed to produce. And he uses a weapon. And now he has a very high position with Allah SWT and Sa'ad Ibn Abi Waqqaz Dajani is calling him to the grave and making a trillution. He says, 'Allahumma in kane abduke hadha qama riya'en wa sum'aten.' Look, he says, O my Allah, if this grave of yours is only for people to worship you, for your safety, and to make you worthy of people, he says, now he is making a trillution.


Three houses are facing you with a trillulation. Look what he says, and the grave of your son is facing you with a trillulation. Allahu akbar! He says, O my Allah, put him to peace. O my Allah, put him to life, put him to life. And O my Allah, make him to go to the grave. This is what he said: 'Make him to go to the grave.' Look, Ibn Abi Qasr III, he made a prayer. At that moment, years passed, while Saad's prayer was accepted. Years passed, while Saad's prayer was accepted. Allah Azza wa Jalla does not forgive him. And this person told him that he has lost a lot of life, until he told me that he lost a lot of life, until he himself, the whole world, gave him the right to leave. He was forgiven, and in unbearable pain, he died. In that wonderful moment, he died, after his wife, he died, after the death of his wife, the new one. When they took away his wife, how could he have done? They took away his wife. He died in this wonderful moment, He said, call me, I am a great sheikh, call me Saad. He said, call me, I am a great sheikh, call me Saad.


So here we suspect that you have the right to fight against that person. To fight against that person who makes you angry. Not to mention what aspect of that person has made you angry. Another statement of the sadist. A very sadist statement. It is said about a very good person. This statement was written by Imam Dhehebiyo in his book Aqsa. It was shown for a person who took us on the road, people who had disabilities, but left us on the road with a broken leg, until the end. It was shown for a person who had disabilities, but left us on the road with a broken leg, until the end. Until the end. Until the end. What a strange decision to hold us on the road, on the bazaar!


One of the Muslims goes and says to me, Abdullah, please tell me what happened, what were the dirty works, and this to me essentially? And now he goes off and tells me what happened to me. His personality is quite interesting, and he says to me I have been a criminal and I have worked as a criminal. One day I have been on the street with some soldiers. I have been in a position, I have had high status, I have had the ability. I have had the power. And of course, subhanallah, people who have gained a little power, they become very often, not very often, very often, zealous security. Only Allah can give them the power. They have the ability and they have an opportunity.


One day a scholar said this, there, it is easy to see those Muslims who had had dates. They had had a date there, with that beech tree where has the beech tree has been planted. I said, I had had the date He looked at me and said to me, look, a big fish, and I asked him, is it a fish? He said, I swear to God I can't call it a fish. He said, because this fish, I bought it and used it as a bait and used it for my family, but it was for my family. I don't have anything. And what happened? He said, I took the fish by force. I took it by force, I swear to God, I took the fish by force. He said, look at this.


He said, by the grace of God, this fish, I don't know what it is, but it's a big fish. He said, until he found a fish, only God knows what kind of fish he used. He said, what is the name of the biggest fish? He said, I don't know. And now I can't help but ask the doctors. And the doctors told me, now you have got an infection that you need to go to Gishti with a knife. You need to go to Gishti with a knife, because if you go to Dora, this man has written and written in his book, Elke Beir, Musaroni, he said, he went to Dora, he said, he went to Dora, and he needs to go to Gishti with a knife. He said, fine, I'll go to Gishti.


I didn't know how many days I would have to go, and how many wounds he had to go to Dora. The doctor went, the doctor told me, he said, you have to go to Dora right now, because he is going to Kroja, up there. And you have to go to the Kroja. And he went to Kroja, and after a while, the same story, he said, without any wounds, the doctor said, you have to go to Kroja. Because if you want to go to the top, you have to be able to do it after the cross. This continues, Subhanallah. They put you in this hole, so the doctor says, you have to be able to go to the top, because there is a risk that you will go to the ground and fall into this.


La ilaha illallah, they put you in this hole, they carry you up to here. They put you up to here and carry you up. Now, they put you in the hole, they say, I will meet him. They say, what is the matter with you, you are going to die, you have a body, you are going to die. Day after day, they put you in the hole, they press you, they press you, you have a body, you have a body. What is the matter with you? If you have done something, they say, yes, I have done a waffle, I have done a Zolom, I have taken a fish, I have taken it without a right hand. But you have taken this fish, you poor thing. He says, I have taken the fish in a bowl, and that fish has eaten me. And he says, I have taken it in this bowl. He says, come on, go faster, find that person. Find and ask for halaluk from him. Because he says, wallahi, after asking for halaluk in the beginning, you have not taken any part of the body. Go and find and ask for halaluk from him.


And he says, I started to ask for this person, and I ask, I ask this person all the time. Until, alhamdulillah, until he goes and finds it. When he finds this person, he says, 'La ilaha ilaha ijju', I will take this person. And he says, 'O my wife, O my wife', I am the most beautiful, most beautiful, most halal. Then he says, see what kind of a man this man is. He is Zolomchar, Allah Azza wa Jalla, what a man he is. He says, 'O wife, I am the most beautiful, most beautiful, most halal.' Then he says, 'who are you?! Who are you?!' Tell me! Finally, he said, I am the person who took you rightfully to the grave. He took you rightfully to the grave.


Some time ago, when he knew, subhanallah, and saw the genesis of the murderer, he started to cry. Saying, 'oh Allah', I am carnal. When he saw how humanly and pure God Almighty has created him, he said, 'I am carnal.' I thank God. And the Prophet said to him, 'Get up to Jr. Allah, for he has put you in a trap. Mun Fly to lect it. To get down to Jr. Allah. Did you say anything to me? When I took your hand, did you say anything to me? I said yes. I said yes. I said, 'What did you say?'


I said, 'I said, O Allah, you have shown me the power of this oppressor in his weakness, so give me your power in him.' O Allah, you have shown me the power of this oppressor in his weakness, so give me your power in him. O Allah, You have shown me the strength, the power, the power, the power, Ishqara, 힘, this one, toanga this hard this hard strength, this energetic toanga toanga toanga this crazy ierno that are Uhay that uhay you that all this this this this Beware of the call of the oppressed, for it is not between them and Allah. The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, used to say, I am afraid that I will not be able to defeat the oppressor, because I will never be able to defeat him.


Allah, the Most High, said, Do not be oppressed if you are not able to. The oppressor will return after him to the desolation. The Prophet said, Do not be oppressed if you are not able to, for the oppressor will return after him to the desolation. The Prophet said, Even the oppressor is the same as the oppressor. Even the oppressor is the same as the oppressor. He has no power. The oppressor is the one who is watchful. If I don't realize that what I have become, is wrong. Then that is for sure correct, that is THE correct thing that I have done. Go and learn from the reverse OF your second belief, because when it is wrong it is against the Lord. Because the Lord is right when the difference is not clear.


Therefore, the elders of the Selefa, the elders of the previous generations had a lot of fear and fear that someone would do something against that person in order to reach that position. To do something wrong, it's not good to do something wrong, nor to do something wrong, for if it's better to do something wrong than that, it's not good. And Allah has honored both of them, that Allah has given them who do wrong, or who do wrong. God knows if they are wrong, or if those who are wrong are right. If someone does wrong, If you are in the same position as someone who has committed adultery, know that you have valued Allah, O Lord. You were raised in the same moment as Allah, O Lord. And know that your love does not mean anything.


Is it better to make love? Is it possible to do something better than the love you have for him? Is it better for you? Yes, it is. Even worse for the person who has committed adultery. Yes, it is. And this is what Allah, O Lord, is telling us. We will analyze it next time when we will suggest the second alternative. Because what is better for you to do when someone commits adultery, when someone commits adultery. Until then, I invite you to follow the guidance of Allah, O Lord. May Allah, O Lord, lead us from adultery and that if you do something wrong, you do something wrong. May Allah, O Lord, lead you to the right path. May Allah, O Lord, guide you, and guide you. Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah, and the blessings of Allah. And praise be to Allah, Lord of all the worlds. And peace be upon the Prophet Muhammad, and his family and companions. And peace be upon you, O many of you. And peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah, and the blessings of Allah.

Holy Quran and Islam

Holy Quran and Islam vol 1

Divine Guidance and Revelation

The Significance of Divine Revelation

The importance of divine guidance in holy books cannot be overstated. In Islam, we believe that the Quran is the literal word of God, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel. This divine revelation serves as a guide for all aspects of life, providing believers with a moral compass and a source of wisdom and guidance.

Islam's belief in the recitation of divine verses is central to the faith. Muslims believe that the Quran is a timeless and universal message from God, meant to guide humanity until the end of time. The recitation of Quranic verses is not only a form of worship, but also a way to seek guidance and inspiration from God.

Following Guidance in Islam

Following divine guidance is a fundamental aspect of Islam. The Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad provide Muslims with a clear path to follow in order to live a righteous and fulfilling life. By adhering to the guidance found in the Quran, Muslims seek to strengthen their faith and deepen their connection to God.

The significance of divine revelation in shaping beliefs cannot be underestimated. The Quran serves as a source of moral and ethical guidance, providing believers with a framework for understanding the world and their place in it. By following the teachings of the Quran, Muslims strive to align their actions and beliefs with the will of God.

Studying the Holy Book for Guidance

Studying scripture for divine guidance is an essential practice in the Islamic faith. Muslims believe that the Quran contains the ultimate truth and wisdom, and that by studying its verses, they can gain a deeper understanding of God's will and purpose for their lives. Recitation of Quranic verses is a form of worship and a means of seeking divine guidance and inspiration.

Recitation of verses for belief in revelations and guidance is a central tenet of the Islamic faith. Muslims believe that the Quran is a miraculous and unaltered revelation from God, meant to guide and instruct believers in all aspects of life. By reciting Quranic verses regularly, Muslims strengthen their faith and reaffirm their belief in the divine origin of the Quran.

Applying Scripture to Daily Life

Applying verses to daily decisions strengthens faith and provides believers with a sense of direction and purpose. The Quran offers guidance on a wide range of topics, from personal conduct to social justice, and by applying its teachings to their daily lives, Muslims seek to live in accordance with the will of God. Divine guidance in scripture provides believers with a roadmap for navigating life's challenges and making decisions that are in line with their faith.

The Power of Faith in Divine Verses

Faith in divine verses strengthens belief in scripture and deepens one's connection to God. The Quran is believed to be a source of divine guidance and wisdom, and by placing their trust in its teachings, Muslims seek to strengthen their faith and draw closer to God. Guidance and revelation found through the recitation of the holy book serve as a source of comfort, inspiration, and guidance for believers, helping them navigate life's challenges 

The Teachings of Islam

The Practice of Prayer

Prayer holds a significant place in the teachings of Islam, serving as a fundamental pillar of the faith. It is through prayer that Muslims establish a direct connection with Allah, seeking guidance, forgiveness, and blessings in their daily lives. The importance of prayer in Islam cannot be overstated, as it is seen as a way to maintain spiritual well-being and strengthen one's faith.

In Islam, there are five daily prayers that are obligatory for all practicing Muslims: Fajr (dawn), Dhuhr (midday), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (evening), and Isha (night). Each prayer has its specific time and method of performance, with recitations from the Quran and physical movements such as bowing and prostrating. These prayers serve as a way to remember Allah throughout the day and seek His guidance and mercy.

The methods of prayer in Islam are prescribed in detail, with specific words and actions to be performed in each prayer. This structured approach to prayer helps to cultivate discipline and focus in the worshipper, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the act of devotion. By following the prescribed methods of prayer, Muslims can experience a sense of peace and tranquility, knowing that they are fulfilling their duty to Allah.

The Observance of Ramadan

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and is considered the holiest month for Muslims. During this month, Muslims fast from dawn until sunset, abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs. The fasting of Ramadan serves as a way to promote self-discipline, empathy, and spiritual growth.

Fasting during Ramadan is not just about abstaining from food and drink; it is also a time for reflection, prayer, and acts of charity. By experiencing hunger and thirst, Muslims are reminded of the suffering of those less fortunate and are encouraged to show compassion and generosity towards others. Ramadan emphasizes the importance of charity and community solidarity, as Muslims come together to support one another and help those in need.

The act of fasting during Ramadan is seen as a way to purify the soul and strengthen one's relationship with Allah. By abstaining from worldly pleasures and focusing on spiritual growth, Muslims can experience a sense of renewal and rejuvenation in their faith. Ramadan serves as a time of spiritual reflection and self-improvement, allowing Muslims to deepen their connection with Allah and strive for a more righteous way of living.

The Act of Giving Zakat

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam and is an obligatory form of charity for all practicing Muslims. The importance of giving zakat in Islam cannot be understated, as it is seen as a means of purifying wealth and helping those in need. Zakat is calculated as a percentage of one's wealth and is distributed to the poor and needy in the community.

Giving zakat is a way for Muslims to fulfill their duty to Allah and show gratitude for the blessings they have received. By sharing their wealth with those less fortunate, Muslims can help alleviate poverty and suffering in their community. Zakat is not just a form of charity; it is a way to promote social justice and equality, ensuring that all members of society have their basic needs met.

The act of giving zakat is seen as a way to purify one's wealth and cleanse the soul from greed and selfishness. By giving to those in need, Muslims can experience a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction, knowing that they are making a positive impact in the lives of others. Zakat serves as a reminder of the importance of generosity and compassion in Islam, encouraging Muslims to be mindful of their responsibilities to their fellow human beings.

The Pilgrimage to Mecca

The Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca is one of the five pillars of Islam and is considered a mandatory religious duty for all able-bodied Muslims. The importance of the Hajj pilgrimage in Islam cannot be overstated, as it is a way for Muslims to demonstrate their devotion and submission to Allah. The spiritual significance of visiting the Kaaba in Mecca, the holiest site in Islam, is a profound experience for Muslims, as it symbolizes unity and equality among believers.

The Declaration of Faith

The declaration of faith, known as the Shahada, is a fundamental tenet of Islam and serves as a testimony to the oneness of Allah and the prophethood of Muhammad. The importance of declaring faith in Islam cannot be understated, as it is a way for Muslims to affirm their belief in the teachings of Islam and commit themselves to a life of worship and obedience to Allah.

The significance of the declaration of faith lies in its simplicity and power, as it encapsulates the core beliefs of Islam in just a few words. By reciting the Shahada, Muslims affirm their belief in the unity of Allah and the finality of the prophethood of Muhammad, acknowledging him as the last messenger sent by Allah to guide humanity.

The declaration of faith is a constant reminder for Muslims of their duty to worship Allah and follow the teachings of Islam. By declaring their faith openly and sincerely, Muslims can strengthen their connection to Allah and reaffirm their commitment to living a righteous and pious life. The Shahada serves as a foundation for practicing the teachings of Islam, guiding Muslims in their daily lives and helping them stay true to their beliefs.

Holy Quran and Islam vol 2

The Core of Islam

Islaamic Beliefs

As a Muslim, I adhere to the core beliefs of Islam that shape my worldview and guide my actions. The Five Pillars of Islam serve as the foundation of my faith, encompassing the fundamental practices that every Muslim must uphold. These pillars include the declaration of faith (Shahada), prayer (Salat), fasting during the month of Ramadan (Sawm), giving to charity (Zakat), and pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj). These pillars serve as a constant reminder of my commitment to Allah and my responsibility as a believer.

Central to Islamic beliefs is the concept of Tawhid, which emphasizes the oneness of God in Islam. Tawhid serves as the cornerstone of Islamic belief and practice, highlighting the monotheistic nature of the religion. By recognizing the absolute unity and sovereignty of Allah, I strive to align my thoughts, actions, and intentions with His divine will. Tawhid guides me in my daily life, reminding me of the importance of worshiping and obeying Allah above all else.

Belief in Angels

Angels hold a significant role in Islamic beliefs, serving as messengers of Allah who carry out His divine commands. These celestial beings play a crucial role in the spiritual realm, acting as intermediaries between Allah and humanity. As a Muslim, I believe in the existence of angels and their presence in the unseen world. Their obedience and devotion to Allah inspire me to strengthen my own faith and strive for righteousness in all aspects of my life.

The belief in angels reinforces the interconnectedness of the spiritual and physical realms, reminding me of the divine guidance and protection that surrounds me at all times. By acknowledging the presence of angels in my faith, I am reminded of the boundless mercy and compassion of Allah, who sends His messengers to guide and support me on my spiritual journey.

Day of Judgment

The Day of Judgment is a fundamental belief in Islam that underscores the concept of accountability and justice in the afterlife. As a Muslim, I believe that all individuals will be resurrected on the Day of Judgment to be held accountable for their actions and intentions in this world. This day serves as a reminder of the transient nature of life and the ultimate reckoning that awaits every soul.

The Day of Judgment instills in me a sense of responsibility and moral awareness, prompting me to strive for righteousness and seek forgiveness for my shortcomings. By recognizing the significance of this day, I am motivated to lead a life guided by the teachings of Islam, knowing that my deeds will be weighed on the scales of justice on that fateful day.

Importance of Charity

Charity holds a special place in Islam, reflecting the core values of compassion, generosity, and community support. As a Muslim, I am encouraged to give to those in need and contribute to the well-being of society through acts of charity. By sharing my resources and blessings with others, I strengthen the bonds of brotherhood and solidarity within the Muslim community.

Charity serves as a tangible expression of my faith, embodying the principles of social justice and equality that are central to Islam. By giving to those less fortunate, I fulfill my duty as a servant of Allah and demonstrate my commitment to upholding the values of compassion and empathy. Through acts of charity, I strive to embody the teachings of Islam and make a positive impact on the world around me.

Fear and Reward in Paradise

The concept of fear and hope in Islam

Fear of judgement day in Islam is a fundamental aspect of the faith. As a Muslim, I believe that on the Day of Judgement, every individual will be held accountable for their actions. This fear of facing judgement for our deeds is a powerful motivator to live a righteous life and strive to please Allah.

On the other hand, hope for reward in paradise after resurrection is a central tenet of Islam. The promise of paradise for those who have lived a pious and virtuous life provides comfort and solace to believers. It serves as a source of inspiration to continue doing good deeds and seeking Allah's pleasure.

The promise of reward for the righteous

Judgement day in Islam is a day of accountability, where every individual will be judged based on their deeds. The fear of facing punishment in hell for our sins is a sobering thought that drives us to seek forgiveness and strive for righteousness in our actions.

Belief in paradise as a reward for the righteous is a key motivator for living a virtuous life. The prospect of eternal bliss in the company of Allah and the righteous serves as a powerful incentive to stay on the right path and avoid sin.

The fear of facing punishment in hell

The fear of punishment in hell on Judgement Day is a stark reality that every Muslim is aware of. The thought of enduring the torment of hellfire for eternity is a terrifying prospect that compels us to seek forgiveness for our sins and strive to do good deeds.

Belief in Islam teaches us that those who lead a life of disobedience and sin will face the consequences in the afterlife. This fear of punishment in hell serves as a deterrent to wrongdoing and encourages us to seek Allah's mercy and forgiveness.

The importance of belief in resurrection

Belief in resurrection is crucial for understanding the concept of accountability on Judgement Day. As a Muslim, I firmly believe in the resurrection of the dead and the Day of Judgement, where every individual will be called to account for their actions.

The fear of hell and the promise of paradise in Islam are closely tied to the belief in resurrection. This belief underscores the importance of living a righteous life and seeking Allah's forgiveness in order to attain salvation in the afterlife.

The balance between fear and hope in faith

The day of judgement in Islam instills fear and a sense of accountability in believers. The knowledge that we will be judged for our actions serves as a constant reminder to strive for righteousness and seek forgiveness for our sins.

At the same time, belief in paradise offers hope and reward for those who have lived a life of faith and good deeds. The prospect of eternal bliss in the company of Allah and the righteous serves as a source of inspiration and motivation to continue on the path of righteousness.

In conclusion, the concepts of fear and hope in Islam play a crucial role in shaping the beliefs and actions of believers. The fear of facing punishment in hell and the hope for reward in paradise serve as powerful motivators to live a life of faith, virtue, and obedience to Allah. As a Muslim, I strive to strike a balance between fear and hope in my faith, seeking Allah's mercy and forgiveness while holding onto the promise of eternal reward in paradise.

Heavenly Justice

The promise of justice

The final reckoning for all souls on judgment day is a concept that has been ingrained in religious teachings for centuries. It is believed that on this day, every individual will be held accountable for their actions and will receive either divine punishment or heavenly justice based on their deeds. For those who have led a righteous life, they can expect to be rewarded with eternal bliss in heaven. However, for sinners who have strayed from the path of righteousness, hell awaits as a place of eternal torment.

The concept of heavenly justice serves as a reminder that there is a higher power watching over us, ensuring that justice is served in the end. It is a comforting thought for those who have been wronged or suffered injustices in their lives, knowing that ultimately, divine justice will prevail.

The mercy of God

In the final reckoning, divine mercy plays a crucial role in determining the fate of each soul. It is believed that God's mercy is infinite and that even the most sinful individuals have the opportunity for redemption and forgiveness. Heavenly justice takes into account not only the wrongdoings of individuals but also their capacity for repentance and change.

For those who have strayed from the path of righteousness, there is still hope for salvation through God's mercy. It is a reminder that no matter how far we may have fallen, there is always a chance for redemption and forgiveness in the eyes of a merciful God.

The end of suffering

The final reckoning for all souls in heavenly justice signifies the end of suffering for those who have endured hardships and injustices in their lives. It is believed that on the day of apocalypse, divine punishment will be meted out to wrongdoers, bringing an end to their reign of terror and oppression.

For those who have been victimized or oppressed, the promise of heavenly justice offers solace and comfort, knowing that ultimately, justice will be served. It is a reminder that no one is above the law of God and that those who have caused suffering will be held accountable for their actions.

The day of redemption

The final day of reckoning for all souls is a day of redemption and salvation for those who have lived a righteous life. It is believed that on this day, heavenly justice will be meted out with divine punishment for those who have strayed from the path of righteousness.

Story of Joseph a.s

Story of Joseph a.s

The story of Joseph is from the most wonderful history. This story of Allah's is a very detailed and very charming story. The story of Joseph is very much reflected in his comments. In this story, God has revealed the story of Joseph as he was treated by the people of Zanafil and until the end, the story of all the visions and changes of people. For this story, God has made it clear that for all those who are in the history of Joseph and his disciples, there is a lot of doubt. Joseph, what? At that time, let us think about the reasons that benefit from this great history and by which Allah has supported us. Doubts, doubts, and dispositions that benefit from this story.


This story is considered more beautiful and more clear, because it reflects all the developments by passing through a wall in the center. From one wall to the other, from one wall to the other, from power in the corner, from fear in safety, from power in the slavery of Anas Iltas and after the destruction and destruction of the community and civilization. At the same time, we have the passage from the destruction of Hidrim and Anas Iltas, from the fall in the war of Anas Iltas, from the strength in ease, and until the arrival of an unfulfilled end. Ipat Metav is the one who tells us this story by making it clear to the Lords of the Universe. This story is divided into two parts.


The first part is the basis of the interpretation of Duhur's and the second part is the basis of the interpretation of Duhur's which are two different life styles. At the same time, there are other prophets, since through them people are baptized, as in иск Gall 만 يشكلش and through them sid metres of growth, They were his servants, and it was obvious that the one who would come to the altar would be the one who would serve him, but also the one who would serve him would be the one who would serve him and with a high position. It was said that Joseph would make a man with a high position and serve the father, the mother and the servant, but all of this would not happen without going through some stages that would lead to his death, which we all know.


Work and redemption from Allah the Exalted. Therefore, the verse says, The Lord has redeemed you. Joseph 6 3 For the forgiveness of the sins of two of his servants. For the sins of the one who, after he had broken the oath, interpreted it by insisting on the fact that the one who did this work in many cases was a servant of some other, and the oath was made for some other, and he knew that the servant was a servant of the Lord. The one. Therefore, this interpretation of the verse of the Zanahat, for which it is mentioned, therefore I comment on it by giving it this meaning. While in the case of the one who did this, that which had passed on, like when a sheep is taken out of a bucket which Mengele takes out of a bucket, it is interpreted that was saying that he will be strengthened and Mengele will take out of the bucket which he takes out of a bucket.


While the man who bought the sheep were defeated and became remembered with years of liberty, harm, Hierarchy and Queen. The continuity of this interpretation relates to the fact that with the beginning, the image is linked,那個周 más que conocías, that they take care of the people and judge the interests of theirs why judging him by his trust and his distrust. … For the sake of the Cobook of della se, he Angel felt that he blessed him, and with their pride, they are proud and proud of themselves. In addition, for years, they organize stages of life with their pride or belief, in order to avoid creating problems. While the wolves are good at clearing the ground and clearing their prey, in this case, they follow their prey and pass it on.


Andra, who had had seven wolves at first, then seven other wolves, and seven camels, and seven other bulls, tells us that seven years will come when they will have food, and in those years they will know what they have eaten, by eating only what they have eaten, or they will risk it by consuming all of it. If someone asks about the meaning of the word, then, after that, a full year will come for the people, a year in which they will destroy, destroy, destroy. Yusuf, 29 Why do some interpreters of the Qur'an say that this was a request from Yusuf, alayhi salam, or he was given a warning that he would come? For the sake of justice, this does not matter,


because he has taken this from Andra's body, because the years of the said were only seven, and he tells that after that, a year will come with a great promise, and a lot of his followers that he will go away from the said and the great lie that he had for years, and who cannot go away from a single year, with a promise, but he seeks a promise to be satisfied, and this seems clear and is understood by the numbering. Four of these surahs are clear facts of the prophet Muhammad, because the Lord has shown this story in detail and in detail that it was in conjunction with the reality by realizing the existence of all the signs.


Meanwhile, he had not read the books of the people of the past, and he had not forgotten anyone, and this he knows very well, his people. He himself was illiterate; he did not read nor write, so he says, these are some of the stories and stories that we can share with you, O Muhammad. You do not quarrel with them when you decide on their work and when you decide to treat them. Yusuf 102 In the presence of justice in these points, he gives justice to small and large problems, and Robi is able to overcome those that are in his way. Manxites despise violence, and Robi refuses to quarrel with them. For this reason, the moment when Jacob gave Yusuf his share in his debt and gave him much after him, other children will be afraid of Yusuf's debt, and Österreich will start to fear and blame him in the presence of justice, and profit, and this will increase his 기대e as Arabic Arabic But their action was as if it were coming from the dark.


There is no doubt that this event has to do with what I said, the connection between all the events and the changes that take place. Until then, Yusuf tried to escape, because as soon as he tried to solve this issue, the solution was built on the basis of a strategy and a plan. This and the continuation of the events that this incident had led to was the result of Yusuf's and Jacob's efforts. Therefore, it is easy to take care of a person from the past, especially from those past that have a healing effect. And the same is said for some good wounds. It may be a single wound, but with the healing effect, the goodness of these wounds is combined with other wounds from those who are hurt or from someone else, and this is one of the greatest blessings that Allah gives to a person in his day and work. One of the things that a person should take into consideration is the perfection of the end and not the end and beginning. Subtitles by the Amara.org community Subtitles by the Amara.org community

For those who have been, or have been, or are profiting from his punishment, he does not go away in vain. Yusuf was sent by his vizier with a temporary sentence, but he was sent by some who were passing by, since he was a slave to the viziers of Yusuf who were exiled, then they took him and called him in Egypt, and he was sent back.


After that, he was called by his own lord as a slave, and he was called by his own lord and Yusufitek, he was a slave, but he was imprisoned. He was called by his own lord and he was called by his own lord, as he was called by the viziers, but he was also called by his own lord in Egypt, as he is mentioned a little later. 15. Be careful that you should be told from the vizier with a sword and a sword, especially from those who can stab you or hurt you. Also, be careful from those who can hurt you. The greatest of ministers is that who is hurt by stabbing the vizier with a sword; is the vizier who was with Yusuf, and the greatest of ministers is the one who was for you.


The vizier who is not hurt by stabbing the vizier is the one who is tempted, the one who is hurt by stabbing Yusuf, and who then stabs his vizier for a long time. 16. The desire of Yusuf and his practice for the sake of Allah, as well as for the sake of the faith that Allah had established in his heart, is due to the fact that Yusuf is found in high positions, and that Allah has raised him. The desire is the result of the spirit that always orders us, and the desire comes from the planting of the breath of faith in the path of Allah. 7. The desire is the result of the occurring of the events which heaueens moved out of his mind and he then cheerfully when your needs arise.


When he did not have the first proof of the Lord himself, he left the church and went to the priesthood, because he, in truth, was a sincere believer. Yusuf 24 For the reason that Allah had chosen him and for the sake of the faith and sincerity that he had, he went to the church in Mecca and was convinced by those who were afraid of the mother of the Lord by threatening himself with desires. In addition to this, he will be among the seven categories of people who will fall in love with him on the day when he will not have any love other than his own. Among them, the Prophet Muhammad, may he rest in peace, is a man who is convinced by his position and joy, and he said, 'I am afraid of Allah', 27.


He was convinced at the moment when he was not afraid and continued to be convinced, while Yusuf's desire was frequent, but he left at once after he had no arguments with his Lord. Yusuf 24 Yusuf 24 Andенная I call for the people to be afraid of Allah and to be aware ofaries of them. In front of God. He took me from them. He himself made me afraid , as he said. Lord, I will not watch over them. Don't push me away from them. Do You know what we are? I want to be your people. Why? I can't. I'm afraid of Allah instead. He said this because Allah allowed the departure of Yusuf from this vapor, as it was said, because he, in truth, was made so sincere by God.


Yusuf 24 Yusuf 24 Yusuf 24 Yusuf 24 Yusuf 24 Yusuf 26 Yusuf 26 Yusuf 26 Yusuf 26 and sets up camps in Thes of Evelite vs. Rasit in Gyashem with those who This is not a human being, but rather an angel of God. Yusuf, 31 While his happiness is within him, he faces delirium, despite the fact that there are very strong incidences for evil spirits. With all his faith and courage, with his sincerity and strength, he cannot let go of his values ​​and cannot achieve anti-values together. The minister's wife tells him other important things about the happiness of Yusuf. Yusuf, 31 After a while, the minister's wife, Aziz, says, now I will come to the truth. I am convinced that he is the one who is right.


Yusuf, 51 Yusuf, 21 Yusuf, 22 Yusuf, 23 Yusuf, 24 Yusuf, 25 Yusuf, 26 Yusuf, 27 Yusuf, 28 Yusuf, 29 Yusuf, 31 Yusuf, 28 Yusuf, 31 Yusuf, 33 Yusuf, 31 Yusuf, 34 Yusuf, 34 Yusuf, 35 Yusuf, 39 Yusuf, 40 Yusuf, 43 Zimo, 44 Yusuf, 45 Yusuf, 46 Zimo, 44. This is considered a part of the war that makes a person on the path of God. What is the problem with the aspect of the fact that he beats him and the anger that he has. The one who has the means is the one who feels good even in the midst of trials and shows the way by his actions. This is considered the address of Iman and the sign of the true salvation.


22 Robi must be directed by God and embraced by him at the moment when the people of the kingdom of God meet and distance themselves closely from their own abilities and forces. This is based on the words of Joseph, who said, 'If you do not leave your way, I will take your way and I will make you from those who do not know your laws.' Joseph 33 A successful person is one who seeks the knowledge of God to leave his way and the things that he sees as his way, as well as the things that he sees as his way. The one who is successful is the one who seeks the knowledge of God and the things that he sees as his way.


As far as tochars are concerned, Joseph said, he sorties great business from an adrenal Makeshift business… First, basing themselves on God, and noting there, and thinking, he gives us what God is offering us. Thus, they ask for him. It is a very encouraging commission. When you wish to get married, daughters look; when you know that the children, when they talk about the least lay, he presents to them all of the things that they are grateful for. Whenever they talk of you, don't be afraid of them and have them. Notice this when you are about to move to Christ. Gratitude has given you notes from the saints, among us, not concerning you too much; and do not know the reality of what is to be seen and what is not to be seen.


24 of those people who are shown in the stream of Allah in the case of Gazzim and Bologna must also be shown in the case of Veshtirsish. Yusufi, peace be upon him, continues to sing in the way of God even when he enters the city. He continues to sing as if he had heard what he had heard from the city dwellers, as if he had heard two songs in monotheism, and he was stopped by the idol of Ariya. From the vision and vision that the Lord had given him, it was clear that they were ready to be seen as if they had heard. They needed the interpretation of the angels as he said, We, in truth, see that you are a good man.


Yusufi, 36 He takes advantage of this moment and offers it to Allah before he begins to interpret the angels that he had before, hoping to achieve his fulfillment. He tells him who he was who had led him to this position, and he is an audience of extreme tuition, who makes a fortune out of this. And Hana, he says, now that he has already started her obstacle, in order to calm down and see what affairs that make the world around him do to him would lead him to something that is neutral to him for him does not make any more than a  qis. hut the skill. They must csì. So there will be a possibility, with the advice of the defendants, to tell a story, of quarrels, of opportunities, of our everyday lives, of a couple of albums, of more valuable childhood memories, and of what we have to do.


For something more emergent than your question, in this case you have to answer more carefully before you answer your question. This is a sign that shows that this question is considered as a small one, which tends to orientate and question others. The Muslims, when they asked Yusuf, alayhi salam, about what they had before, made it clear that their need for faith and monotheism was greater and greater than what he had to give to them. Yusuf, 26, said that when a problem arises, there is no problem in seeking help from someone who can help you overcome that problem, whether from a practical point of view or by telling you what you need to do. This is not considered a lack of faith or a failure of faith.


This kind of prayer is normal, and it is common for people to seek help from someone else. Therefore, Yusuf directed you to think about what you need to do. Let's think about what you need to do. Yusuf, 22, said that there is no problem in seeking help from someone who can help you. Let's think about what you need to do. Let's think about what you need to do. Yusuf presented Light, but what do you need to do on your own accord. Don't ask him to do the men who guide you for your own good or to do the men who substitute you for your own good. The Đo postuali, also known as the glories post., supports, directs, manipulates with references and flights, falsifies the listeners from living and nonliving traditions of religion, so that it may lead to your own convenience.


If the person does not have the need to ask Yusuf, they turn to the same person who goes and asks him for help and Yusuf does not answer, he does not understand why he had not told his owner. On the other hand, he answers you completely in all aspects. 28. The one who asks, when he answers, must orient the questioner to the one who is most suitable for him, at that time, as it has to do with his question and to orient him in that direction that will make him feel good and his life. This is a reflection of the whole story, his mind is good and his orientation is good. Yusuf did not agree with the interpretation of Andras Mbret, but he told him and gave him the idea of how he should behave in the next few years in order to improve his health and take care of his health.


29. A person is not sure if he can get rid of the accusations of his own, but this is necessary. As it happened with Yusuf, who did not accept to leave the city before leaving without his own permission, he had his own and decided to leave the city in order to get rid of the accusations of his own. 30. We miss the value of knowledge and particularly the knowledge of legislation and provisions, as well as the knowledge of interpreting Andras, the knowledge of management and education, as well as the knowledge of good governance. Yusuf has reached an high level in this world and in the other world, especially with his own different knowledge. We also miss the knowledge of interpreting Andras for the sake of his own benefit, which he will tell you.


31. The best example of a person's understanding of Andras Mbret is the one who knows how to do it. If you do not allow anyone to speak in front of you in the interpretation of men before you know it, it is as if you do not allow anyone to give the fetva at the disposal without having the right to know it, because Allah has called the interpretation of men fetva and this has been mentioned briefly in this surah. 31. There is no problem that a man speaks to you and tells you about his actions, his behavior or his knowledge, if he has done so, and if he is taken away from the right and the right to know.


This is based on the words of Yusuf when he said, I am not afraid of the depots of the land, because I am the one who knows the best of these works. Yusuf 55 All the same, the mandate of a man does not depend on whether he does what he can in the implementation of the legislation and what he does in the field of duties that others are assigned. A man has no problem in seeking the mandate of a woman if he deserves it and has more preparation than others. What matters is when he seeks it, when he does not have the necessary preparation, or when there are others who are more worthy of it than he is able to deal with it, or when they have not fulfilled the orders of the Lord and when he wants to do so.


It is only the ability and personal interests that matter. 32. Bujariya and the commandment of the Lord against the robbers is very difficult. He gives the robbers from the mercies of the world and of the world. But the mercy of the world is achieved through two ways. One with faith, faith in everything, and the second through verbatim. After the  the commandment of the Lord against the robbers, opening his mouth and holding his mouth closed, Allah gives it instead into theи in this sense, and under these that success is possible. This is based on the words of Yusuf, while the fulfillment of another life is better for those who believe and are afraid of Allah. Yusuf, 57 Yusuf, 33 Yusuf, 34 Yusuf, 34 Yusuf, 35 Yusuf, 36 Yusuf, 37 Yusuf, 38 Yusuf, 39 Yusuf, 40 Yusuf, 41 Yusuf, 42 Yusuf, 43 Yusuf, 44 Yusuf, 42 Yusuf, 52 Yusuf, 52 Yusuf, 53 Yusuf, 54 Joseph, 64.


He also said, It is not easy, but you have learned something. Joseph, 83. In the last case, although he did not show any negligence, it had happened to him that he was afraid that his father would say those words to him and not explain them to him. 37. For the sake of the children who leave their mothers, or other children, it is not necessary to say those words to them. Even though it does not happen without the judgment of Allah and before His judgment, it is necessary to know what is included in the judgment or before the judgment of Allah. This is based on the words of Jacob, who said, 'O my children, do not leave from the same gate of the city, but from different gates.' Joseph, 67.


For the sake of the children who leave their mothers, it is not necessary to say those words to them. This is based on the words of Jacob, who said, 'O my children, do not leave from the same gate of the city, but from different gates.' The way they are called when they leave their mothers is not considered even though he did not say that he was blind, because he used words with a lot of understanding. In parallel with this is his words when he said, Allah has made it clear that we will meet the other in His land whom we have found in our land. Yusuf 79 and did not say, 'The one who has blinded our mountain.' Twenty people must suffer only for those things that they know and He has proven them by the sight or by the sight.


Based on his words, we suffer only for those things that we know. Yusuf 81, as well as His words, except those that suffer by the sight or by the sight. Zuhruf 86, twenty-one must suffer for the great trial with which Allah has tested the Prophet and all of Jacob, peace be upon him, when he was taken away from his servant Yusuf. He was unable to leave him alone for a single hour, and this was the reason why he was so afraid. Since this trial is long, the mercy of God does not leave you alone, so you are free from the fear of God. This is even more so when the trial of his second son comes, and with all that he has done, he is afraid and he is afraid of the problem of Allah, because he is afraid that he will do good deeds.


There is no doubt that he is afraid of what he is afraid of, and this is not to be confused with the words he said, 'I am the one who is afraid of You' and your fear is one of Allah's own. Zuhruf 86, because Allah's mercy does not come with sin, what comes with sin is the punishment of sins. There is no doubt that through these trials Allah has raised him up in a high position and gave him a place to go, which is only achieved through this sin. Twenty-one, whenever the trial is tested, victory is more painful. The moment when the trial is made much more and more painful, and the robe is very heavy on their shoulders, he throws away that which guards the body and hinders the cleansing of the body, those which are contrary to the laws of nature which are in need of Allah.


These are his very koft, mostly God's gifts and ʂu lü yōu dist symptom. Twenty-two, although you are a person who shows talent desire, if to help him or anything else, if this is done, not in the form of what is based on the words of Jacob, when they say, 'Oh minister, we and our family have been given a great privilege.' Joseph, 88, and Joseph accepts them and admires them. 23. Let us remember the value of devotion and love, and that all the goodness of this world and of the other world comes as the fruit of devotion and love. Let us always remember that the end of those who have devotion and love is the best end.


This is based on the word of Allah that says, 'Allah bless us.' Those who walk in the streets and do good deeds, Allah blesses them, because they never miss the work of good deeds. Joseph, 90, and 24. A person, when he receives a blessing after a fact or a practice, must always remember his deeds first, in order to give more of that blessing that has been given and to thank Allah more. Therefore, Joseph said, 'I will give you a blessing when you leave the city, when you leave your home, and before leaving another city for you, you must always remember what you have learned.' If a statement Darius made is true, then this is true; it means you have actively appreciated it.


Then, we must all remember when you told us this, don't you take this as an insult when you are questioning us. Don't you protect us in any way? Pope Paulo would As well as the passage of his life from one generation to another, even these years are more beautiful than the glory of the Lord, so at the end of history he said, Indeed, my Lord is filled with this desire, He is the All-Compassionate and the All-Compassionate. Yusuf, 100 He tells his good deeds as in the spiritual life, but also in his spiritual life by giving him the opportunity to achieve greatness without understanding anything, i.e. Yusuf, alayhi salam. Twenty-six people must always fight for the sake of Allah, so that the Lord may strengthen them in faith and grant them a good end, as well as make the days of the end of life better than those of the past and the best works that fill the life, because Allah is the All-Compassionate, the All-Compassionate, and the All-Compassionate.

Indeed, in that is a lesson for those who see. The love of desires is adorned for men from women. And people's heart is adorned, and everyone who sees Him, and all who respect Allah. I will inform you of a better thing than that. For those who have revered their Lord are gardens beneath which rivers flow, where they will abide eternally, and there will be purified couples and pleasure from Allah. And Allah is All-Seeing of His servants. Those who say, 'Our Lord, indeed we have believed, so forgive us our sins and protect us from harm. Hence the punishment of the Fire.' The patient and the truthful, the persistent and the spenders, and those who ask for forgiveness in sorceries. The patient and the truthful, the persistent and the spenders, asking forgiveness for magic.


Allah has witnessed that there is no god but He and the angels and those of knowledge standing by justice. There is no god but He, the Exalted in Might, the Wise. Indeed, Islam is the religion of Allah. And those who were given the Scripture differed except after the knowledge came to them, in vain. And those who disbelieve in the verses of Allah; indeed, Allah is quick to account. As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. Alhamdulillah wa salatu wa salamu 'ala rasulillah wa 'ala al-'alihi wa sahbihi wa man walah. Welcome to our third episode, where insha'Allah ta'ala my goal is to summarize the essential message of the Quran in thirty verses. And today, insha'Allah ta'ala, we're going to cover Surah Al-Imran.


And Surah Al-Imran was a surah that was revealed in the middle of the Medinan phase; most likely around the fourth year of the Hijrah. So it's a significant time after Surah Al-Baqarah. And much has happened since the revelation of Surah Al-Baqarah. And therefore, the themes of this surah, the topics of this surah are therefore slightly different than those of Surah Al-Baqarah. The battle of Badr has already occurred. It was a momentous victory, a resounding success for the Muslims. Surah Al-Anfal talks about the battle of Badr. We'll get there insha'Allah ta'ala in a few days. And by the way, just a quick note here that the surahs are not arranged the way the timeframe they were revealed in. They're not arranged chronologically. So Surah Al-Baqarah is a madani surah but it occurs right at the beginning of the Qur'an.


It's the arrangement of the surahs, they came from the consensus of the companions. When they decided to make the first official recension of the Qur'an. The first compilation from Fatiha Tunas. So they sat down and they arranged the surahs based upon how they used to hear the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam recite. Some say based upon the template in the heavens above. But most likely there was also an element of the companions deciding. So there is an element of just size factor. Baqarah is the largest and Al-Imran and Nisa, so on and so forth. So sometimes we're going to get to a surah. That was revealed before, sometimes after, such as the nature of the arrangements of the Qur'an. We are more interested in the whole surah rather than the internal arrangements between the surahs.


So in the second year of the Hijrah, the battle of Badr took place. In the third year of the Hijrah, the battle of Uhud took place. And the battle of Uhud was somewhat of a setback. It was demoralizing. The Muslims did not win, neither did they lose. That's a longer story here. But the battle of Uhud was not a clear victory. And of course the uncle of the Prophet had passed away. Over 70% of the Sahaba had been martyred. And so there was an element of feeling down, of demoralized. Therefore, this surah also deals with the issue of the battle of Uhud in particular. As well, there was a delegation that came from the land of Najran, from the province of Najran. And Najran at that time had a large group of Christians.


So the Prophet accepted or received a large delegation. Some say maybe even 70 people came. And this was the largest delegation of Christians. Remember, Christians did not live in Mecca and Medina. There were Jews in Medina. There were no Christians in Mecca and Medina. There was minimal interaction. Of course there was, but there was minimal interaction of the Prophet with Christians. The delegation that came from Najran was the largest delegation of Christians that came. And they stayed in the masjid of the Prophet. They even had some priests or bishops with them as well. And this was the first time where deep theological discussions took place. And therefore, this surah, half of it deals with Christianity. Half of it deals with Jesus and the story of Jesus.


And in fact, the name of the surah, the chapter of the family of Imran. Who is Imran? Imran is the grandfather of Isa. Isa's mother is Maryam. Maryam's father is Imran. So Maryam's mother and Maryam's father. So the family of Adam. Ali Imran. It is the family of Maryam and the son of Maryam. And that is Jesus. Jesus, the son of Mary. The son of Imran. So Imran and his wife. And then they have Maryam. And then Maryam has Isa, the son of Mary. So that is the family of Imran. And around half of the surah. Ali Imran has 200 verses. Around half are really dedicated to the issues of the Ahli Kitab. The people of the book. And especially, especially that of Christianity. Now the surah of Ali Imran.


Already mentioned yesterday or two days ago. That the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam combined Baqarah and Ali Imran together. He said, 'Recite Baqarah and Ali Imran.' And he said these two surahs will come like huge clouds on the day of judgment. And they're going to intercede for those who read them. And also Ibn Abbas tells us that when the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam would wake up in the middle of the night and pray tahajjud. Ibn Abbas said that he woke up, and he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. And he recited the last page or the last section of Surah Ali Imran. That inna fee khalqis samaawati wal ardan... We're going to get to there at the conclusion of today's lecture. That in the creation of the heavens and earth.


In the alternation of the night and day. There is much wisdom or there is much signs for those who reflect. So, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam would recite the ending of Surah Ali Imran. Every night when he woke up for Salat at Tahajjud. And this entire Surah. 200 verses. There seems to be two main themes of the entire Surah. The first half is that the discussion, the theological discussions. The commonalities and the differences between Christianity and Islam. Specifically, and then broader Ahlul Kitab. Ahlul Kitab includes other faith traditions like Judaism. Any faith tradition that had an actual legitimate prophet and a book from Allah. They are called the Ahlul Kitab. And the two main religions of the Ahlul Kitab are Judaism and Christianity. There is a third one. The Sabiun.


And they are a very small group that hardly. There are very few left. They are in English. They are called the Mandaeans. But that's a technical point. And I promise not to go into tangents. So let me go back from that. No tangents InshaAllah. The Ahlul Kitab primarily are the Jews and Christians. And surah Ali Imran. It primarily deals with Christianity. And therefore there is a lot of discussion regarding Allah's Tawheed. The oneness of Allah. Regarding the validity of the Quran. Regarding the validity of the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam. Christians are told that they need to believe in the Quran. They need to believe in the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam. It is one of the most detailed surahs about Mary. The mother of Jesus. And about the family of Imran.


The parents of Mary. In fact, this is the only surah that mentions the mother of Mary. This is the only surah. No other surah mentions the mother of Mary. The grandmother of Jesus. No surah mentions her other than this one. And this Surah also discusses aspects of the children of Israel and Judaism incidentally. It's not a direct discussion as much as Surah Baqarah is. That is around half of the Surah. The other half of the Surah is really about the encouragement of the believers. To be firm in the face of adversity. They're feeling down. They've just suffered from their eyes a loss. Now whether Uhud is a loss or not. That's a longer topic. Technically it's neither a victory nor is it a loss. It was kind of in the middle.


But they definitely wanted a victory. And it wasn't the type of victory that they wanted. So much of the Surah then deals with the issue of the battle of Uhud. And fortifying the believers faith. Increasing their level of optimism. Helping them understand and cope with what happened at Uhud. And therefore this surah also will help us as we grapple with some of the setbacks of our own lives as well. The surah begins by affirming this. By affirming the truth of the Quran. By the fact that Allah has sent down this book. And that it is a continuation of the previous revelations. مصدقا لما بين يدي It is affirming the message of the previous prophets. And the previous books. And in verse number 7. And by the way I'm just going to quickly mention the verse numbers.


Some people said that they want to know the verse numbers when I say them in Arabic, so Insha'Allah throughout from now on every time I quote a verse, I'll quickly just say 'in verse number such and such'. And then you can look it up yourselves. And Alhamdulillah a lot of people are taking good notes. They're tweeting back. By the way also if you want to tweet on Twitter. Use the hashtag YQGems. So that everybody can benefit it Insha'Allah. Myself or one of my admins will retweet as much as we can. So that people can benefit anything that you benefited from this lecture. Just tweet it out Insha'Allah ta'ala. And we can then retweet it for others. So in verse number 7. We learn that Allah himself is categorized.


He is categorizing the Quran into two categories. Huwa alladhi anzal alayka alkitab, He is the one who has sent the book down to you. Minhu ayatum mukhhamat, There are verses that are muhkam, and muhkam means unambiguous, it means crystal clear. And Allah says these form the backbone of the book, this is the essential part of the book. There are other verses that are mutashabih, and mutashabih means that which has unclear meanings or vague meanings. Then Allah warns us. Be careful, because there are some people. They want to read in their own interpretations into the Quran. How do they do that? They do that by ignoring the muhkam. And by taking the vague mutashabih. By taking verses that have multiple meanings. And then reading in what they want to read in.


And what this verse is telling us from the very beginning. Is that those people. alladhina fi qulubihim zaygh They have a disease in their hearts. They're able to misinterpret. They're able to interpret the Quran. They're able to twist the Quran to their own agenda. And Allah Azzawajal says ibtighaa al fitnati wa ibtighaa ta'weelih They want to cause fitna. They want to cause chaos. And they desire to try to unlock the mutashabih in an illegitimate manner. And then Allah says no. I know the meaning of these verses. And the people of knowledge as well know the meaning of these verses. Wa maa ya'lamu ta'weelaw illa allahu warraasikhoona fil ilm The people well versed in knowledge. They can understand the mutashabihat. And this shows us that real knowledge will lead to correct opinions.


Real knowledge will help you unlock the mysteries of the Quran. How so? Well, first and foremost. Allah says in the Quran in the very next verse. Verse number eight. Rabbana la tuzeegh qulubana ba'da idh hadaytana O our Lord, do not cause our hearts to deviate after you have guided us. The number one condition for knowledge is sincerity. You have to be sincere for the truth, for Allah. You cannot be wanting to read in your own positions into the Quran. That's not academic integrity. That's not being humble. No. The first thing that you do when you open up the Quran. You seek refuge in shaitan. You say the name of Allah. You show sincerity. You want the truth. You don't want to have evil.


That's why Rabbana la tuzeegh qulubana ba'da idh hadaytana O our Lord, do not cause our hearts to go astray. Don't cause it to be deviated. We want the truth. We are sincere. So, when we open the book of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, we ask, what does Allah want us to understand from this book? We do not say, what is my opinion? Let me see if I can read it into the Quran. And one of the best ways that also true knowledge is sought is by reading the Quran holistically. Understand the vague verses, the ambiguous verses in light of the clear verses. Both are from Allah. Qullum min indi Allah As is very explicit. Both are from Allah.


So if anything is vague, for example, very common in the English language, even in Arabic, when we read the Quran, we have the plural that we did this and we did that. Nahnu nahnum Inna nahnu nazalna We are the ones who sent the Quran down. Why is it in the plural? Does it, A'udhu Billah, mean that God is the plural? Look at the muhkam verses. When Allah says, Shahidallahu annahu la ilaha illahu Allah is testifying. There is no deity other than Him. La ilaha illahu. Therefore, the plurality, whenever it occurs, it is one of those ambiguous verses. If you had an evil intention, you could say, Astaghfirullah, the Quran is arguing for plurality of gods. But that's wrong. Because the muhkam verses clearly say Allah is one. Wa ilahakum ilahun wahid.


Therefore, the plurality is understood to be another type of plurality in the Arabic language. That is the plurality of majesty, the plurality of respect, and not the plurality of quantity. How did we get to this? We looked at the mutashabih verses in light of the muhkam verses. That is what the Quran is telling us. Therefore, don't be surprised if somebody quotes the Quran to justify a very bizarre or unorthodox opinion. Don't be surprised. Allah is telling you, those that have a heart, a disease in their heart, they can twist the Quran to suit their meanings. This is a very important point to understand. We are also explicitly told of another fundamental issue of understanding the Quran and also of being a Muslim.


Verse number 31: That Allah says, 'Qul in kuntum tuhibboona Allah fattabi'ooni; Yuhbibkumullah.' Say, if you truly love Allah you claim to love God, you claim to love Allah, follow me. The me here is the Prophet and only then Allah will love you and forgive your sins. Verily, Allah is forgiving and merciful. Qul ati'ullaha warrasool. Verse number 32: Tell them they must obey Allah and they must obey the Messenger. But if they turn away, then Allah does not love the faithless, the ungrateful. Therefore, from the Quran, from actually not just Ali Imran, over 70 verses that are explicit in this regard, we learn another thing. If we want to worship Allah, if we want to love Allah, if we want to understand the Quran, we have to turn to the Sunnah.


There is no understanding of Islam that is correct without turning to the Sunnah. Who better to tell us than the Prophet whom Allah sent? We turn to him and we obey him. There is no ultimate obedience to Allah without obedience to the Messenger of Allah. Now, it is true that this verse was revealed primarily to the Christians. The Christians are saying, 'We love God', 'we love God', 'we love God'. And Allah is saying, 'If you truly love God, you have to follow the Prophets of God.' You claim you love God. Okay, that's all good, excellent. But if you really want Allah to love you back, قُلْ إِن كُنْتُمْ تِحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ You have to follow me as the final Prophet. And then and only then will Allah love you back.


Now, of course, the context is that of, you know, Christians saying they're not gonna believe in the Prophet, but that doesn't negate the fact that the verse is applied and can be applied to the Muslims as well. And therefore, anyone who says that we are only gonna follow the Quran, we're not gonna follow the Sunnah, we say the Quran itself negates that type of faith. The Quran itself tells you that is not real faith. Real faith is to obey Allah and obey the Messenger. The Quran and the Sunnah are our primary sources of theology, of law, of ethics, of morality. Our religion is based upon these two sources. قُلْ أَطِيعُ اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُ الرَّسُولُ Obey Allah and obey the Prophet. Obey the Messenger. That is very explicit in multiple verses, including these verses in Surah Al-Imran.


And then in the next verse, verse number 33, Allah begins the stories that are gonna come. Over 80 verses now of stories. And, إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَ آدَمًا وَنُوحًا وَآلَ إِبْرَاهِيمًا وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ عَلَى الْآلَمِينَ Verily, Allah chose and selected. Allah preferred. Allah can choose people. Allah Azzawajal can raise people above ranks. We want to be amongst those who are raised. So we make dua to Allah to be amongst those whom Allah raises up. And Allah has chosen the best of the best. And who are the best of the best? إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَ آدَمًا وَنُوحًا وَآلَ إِبْرَاهِيمًا وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ عَلَى الْآلَمِينَ Four people and families are mentioned. Adam, the first of mankind. Nuh, the first Rasool. The family of Ibrahim. And included in the family of Ibrahim is our Prophet .


And the family of Imran. And the family of Imran. It's of course Maryam and Jesus, and their grandmother. Meaning the mother of Maryam. These are the three or the four people that Allah says, 'I have chosen them above all people.' And then, of course, after this, many beautiful stories here. The story of Maryam. The story of the mother of Maryam. The story of her uncle Zakariya. So Maryam's mother's sister, Maryam's khala, was married to the Prophet Zakariya. So the Prophet Zakariya is her uncle. And Maryam's mother is the sister-in-law of Zakariya. And so the story of Zakariya, Zakarias is mentioned. That he did not have a child. And he was very elderly. And he made du'a to Allah for a child. And so Allah blessed him with Yahya, John the Baptist in English.


So John the Baptist, Yahya and Jesus, they were first cousins. They were the two sons of two sisters. So the two sisters, one of them had Jesus and the other had John. And therefore they are first cousins. So the miracle of the birth of Yahya is mentioned in this section of Surah Al-Imran as well. The stories of Jesus with the children of Israel. The miracles of Jesus. The disciples of Jesus and the help that they gave. And by the way, as you go through these stories, because remember the goal of this lecture is to contextualize and then read the entire Surah, As you go through these stories, notice how simply, how beautifully, how effortlessly effortlessly the stories are combined together. And this shows us as well, the eloquence of the Quran.


When you read these stories in the Old Testament, when you read the story in the New Testament, you know, you really, and I'm not saying this as a way of disrespecting, I'm just saying factually, when you read them, you kind of get bogged down in the details. There's so many names, so much stuff is going on. You lose track of the actual story. If you look at the Quran, not just in Surah Al-Imran, in the entire Quran, there's hardly any names, just the name of the main character. If even that, for example, the wife of Imran, we don't even know her name. You know, the wife of Imran is called there, we don't even know her name. The mother of Maryam, we don't even know her name.


We don't know the name of any of the other characters. No dates, no towns, nothing is there. What is there? The morals of the story. What you need to extract from the story, that is what is there. And this is of the interesting things about the Quranic mechanism of stories. Which is in contrast to almost all other scriptures of other faith traditions, the Quranic narrative is very, very different. Also, one point that we do need to discuss about Isa, that is explicitly mentioned in this Surah, Surah Al-Imran. It is a key verse that we need to understand. Verse number 55, that when Qala Allahu Ya Isa inni mutawaffika warafi'uka ilayya that when Allah said, O Jesus, I will translate this in a while. warafi'uka ilayya and I will raise you up.


Now, mainstream Muslims from the time of the earliest of times, mainstream Muslims have believed that Isa, the son of Mary, Jesus, that Allah saved him from being killed by the children of Israel and that Allah miraculously raised him up alive. And that he is still alive now, and that he will come and return towards the end of times. Now, this is the belief and is the standard belief of mainstream Muslims, alhamdulillah, from the beginning of time. There are some people who go against this theology and they believe that Jesus was killed on the cross or Jesus died in a natural fashion or whatever. And they use this verse of the Quran where Allah says inni mutawaffika and they translate mutawaffika as we will cause you to die because tawaffa does mean to die.


There is the correct interpretation, there is no question about it that one meaning of tawaffa is to die. But, what did I just say 10 minutes ago? When there is a vague verse, the Quran is telling us don't just use this vagueness. Don't just read in your meaning. Look at the entire message. And for evidences beyond the scope of today's brief talk here, but there are verses in the Quran Surah Az-Zumar has it. There are other verses as well. There are many hadith that are very explicit in this regard. That we are going to have to understand mutawaffika over here, not as to cause to die, but another meaning. Because in the Quran Allah says that Allah yatawaffa al-anfusa haina mawtiha wallati lam tamud fee manamiha.


Allah takes the souls of those who are dead and those who have gone to sleep and have not died. So the term tawaffa is also used to go to sleep. So it's not just to die. And from this very verse, we learn that the meaning that is implied is a long sleep. Why? Inn i mutawaffika warafi'uka ilayya I will cause you to tawaffa and raise you up to me. What does this mean, raise you up to me? If Isa had been dead there is no raising up. The body has to be raised up. Isa has to be raised up. The very fact that Isa is being raised up, rather than his body being here, is an indication that he is alive. So this is something we have to be very clear about in our mainstream Muslim understanding and theology.


Another key verse when it comes to the nature of Jesus is also found in Surah Al-Imran and that is verse number 59. It's a very, very interesting and profound verse about the reality of Isa. Inna mathala Isa inda Allahi ka mathali Adam khalaqahu min turabin thumma qala lahu kun fayakoon The similitude, the example in the eyes of Allah of Jesus is the same as that of Adam. He said to him, Kun. He created Adam from dust, dust. And he said Kun. And Adam was. Kun fayakoon Now what is the implication of this verse? You see one of the main dialogues that faithful Christians have with faithful Muslims is the nature of Jesus. This is the fundamental difference between Christianity and Islam. The nature of Jesus Christ.


Obviously we all know that Christians, they ascribe a type of divinity to Jesus Christ. They believe that Jesus was essentially the manifestation of God. That there are three that rule in heaven and those three are not three but one. And that Jesus is in fact God himself and he is God the father etc. etc. And one of the things they always mention is the miraculous birth. That he came from without any father. And Allah is saying, if you think that a child born without a father and that only happened once in all of human history, Isa. If you think that that would bring about divinity what do you say about Adam? Adam came without father and mother.


And so if you think that Jesus is somehow the son of God or somehow God himself because he didn't have a father well then, even more so you should argue that Adam is even more divine. And Allah is saying neither of the two are divine. So Allah is using rational arguments for believing Christians. And this shows us when we want to engage in a dialogue we learn the faith tradition and then we engage in intellectual dialogue. Christians also believe in Adam. Christians believe in the virgin birth like we do. So the Quran is using intellectual arguments to make Christians understand and realize there should be no divinity in the nature of Jesus. Just simply because he did not have a father figure.


Just like Adam came without parents and he was of normal flesh and blood, so too Jesus was born without male intervention and yet he too is of flesh and blood. And by the way, throughout all of these stories of Zakariya and Jesus and the disciples, again Allah is using these stories to prove the truth of the Quran. Verse number 44: All of this is from the knowledge of the unseen that we are inspiring to you. You were not there when they were arguing in their inner chambers about how they would take care of Maryam. You were not there and you were not there when they were debating amongst themselves. And yet Allah is telling us details that frankly even some of the Jewish people did not know. Some of the Christians did not know.


And there are stories in the Quran that are not even found in the Gospels as we know them. And yet they're found in what is called the Apocrypha, what is called the Gospels that are not mainstream. They're found here and there and they're in the Quran because Allah is telling us directly from what happened. And Allah uses this knowledge multiple times including in Surah Al-Imran that our Prophet was a Nabi al-Ummi. He could not read and write. And this knowledge was only available to the advanced scholars who understood Hebrew. The Bible had not been translated into Hebrew. The New Testament had not been translated into Arabic for another few centuries. There is no knowledge available in Arabic, especially in Mecca, especially to an unlettered shepherd who did not go through training, did not go through universities and degrees.


There were no universities back then. Did not train in different religious understandings. And yet the Quran is coming and telling the stories of the Maryam, the stories of the mother of Maryam, the stories of Zakariya, of John the Baptist. The Arabs, the Quraysh had no knowledge of John the Baptist. It's not a part of their culture. They're not discussing Maryam and what happened in the chambers of the temple of Solomon. And Allah is saying, you were not there Ya Rasulallah, you were not there but I am the one inspiring this to you. This is a sign. One of the many miracles of the Quran is its detailed information of the theologies and of the histories of other civilizations that typically a person who's raised in Mecca and who was not known for traveling and for reading and studying would never ever have come across in the 6th, 7th century.


And yet the Quran is full of such stories and details that he could not have found except from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Another major motif of Surah Al-Imran and this is a rather long one and it's also very interesting and I know that all of you will be interested in this as well. Surah Al-Imran, and we're going to return to this motif tomorrow a little bit as well. Surah Al-Imran does deal quite a lot with gender. Maryam and the mother of Maryam, the wife of Imran are the key players of this Surah and the Surah is named after them. Al-Imran here means essentially the mother of Maryam and Maryam, the two women. That's the family of Imran. Actually Imran plays no role. He doesn't have any role in the story itself.


I'm sure I mean obviously we assume him to have been a righteous man, but he's not mentioned. He's not playing an active role here. It is Maryam and the mother of Maryam and then Isa. This is the family of Imran and we see here the very important role of not just the parents but especially the mother in instilling Iman in their children. When the mother of Maryam is pregnant, when she has the child in her womb and she assumes that the child is a baby, is a boy, she thought it would be a baby boy. When she has this child she raises her hands to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala and she says, 'This child I want to dedicate to you and to your worship, O Allah.' Before even the child is born, she is worried and she wants to protect the child's faith, the child's Iman.


She wants to make sure that this child is raised as a righteous Muslimah. She didn't know it would be a Muslimah, she thought it would be a Muslim. And she makes dua to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. How many of us when we were expecting our children, whether fathers or mothers, if your wife was pregnant or if your ladies were pregnant, how many of us, how many of us raised our hands to Allah and made dua when the child is still in the womb, that O Allah protect my child, O Allah make my child righteous, O Allah make my child upon your path. You see, this really shows us when you're concerned about something, when you are really eager to do something, it will manifest from the very beginning.


And so the mother of Maryam from the very beginning, she is making dua to Allah. What do you think then after the child is born, what do you think her dedication would be? And this is how one of the mechanisms that we obtain righteous children. Righteousness in parents, insha'Allah generally, there's always exceptions obviously, but generally speaking, righteous parents, they help with righteous children. You want to have righteous children, you have to begin with yourself. And you have to begin with the dua to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. And she wanted a child, a male child, who would become a rabbi, a dedicated scholar and a worshipper. You see, we go back to the time of the temple of Solomon. The temple of Solomon is there.


And in this time frame, there is a very elite group of scholarly ascetic rabbis in the Jewish tradition. Very elite group that they would be raised in the temple. And they would start training and learning the law and memorizing from the childhood. It was a, call it the elite university prep school. They would go through that school and then become the very highest level of scholarship and ascetics and worshippers. And so Maryam is saying that, oh Allah, sorry not Maryam, the mother of Maryam. The mother of Maryam is saying, oh Allah, I want my, she thinks it's a son, to go into this and dedicate his life to your service. Now, the child is born. And she herself is shocked. And she says, verse number 36, inni wada'atuha untha, my dear Lord, this is a girl.


And Allah says, 'Wallahu a'alamu bima wada'at', Allah knows what you gave birth to. And then Allah says, listen to this carefully, wa laysa dhakaruka al-untha Verse number 36. Memorize this verse. The male is not like the female. wa laysa dhakaruka al-untha SubhanAllah. Such a beautiful, succinct, profound statement. Especially one that our generation needs to hear. The male is not like the female. There are obvious biological, psychological, physiological, emotional differences between the male and the female. They are not the same. Gender, is not a human construct. Gender is a biological reality. It is a fact. It is a fact that is embedded in our DNAs. And Allah is reminding us, wa laysa dhakaruka al-untha. Now, gender roles are slightly different. Yes, some roles, very few, are dictated by the law.


The Jewish law, known as the Halakha, had its laws, and our Sharia as well. They have certain differences as well. We'll talk a little bit about this in Surah An-Nisa. However, the gender roles have nothing to do with status and nobility in the eyes of Allah. And therefore, when the child comes out a girl, she cannot become the type of rabbi that the mother wanted to. Because in the Sharia of the Jews, by the way, in our Sharia, a lady can become an alima, a faqeeha, a mufassira, a qariya of the Quran. And I want to say very clearly, one of my own teachers that I studied the Qira of Warsh An-Nafi' from, she was a lady who had memorized all ten of the Qiraat.


And I would call her up on the phone and recite to her the Qira of Warsh. And most of our scholars of Islamic history have always had teachers that are women. True, the imam in a mixed congregation in our Sharia cannot be a female. But Islamic scholarship is open to both genders in our religion. There's never been an impediment for a Shaykha, an Alima, a Faqeeha, a Muhaditha. And there have been plenty in Islamic history. Now in their law, it was slightly different. So she couldn't become the type of Rabbi that Maryam's mother wanted her to do. Still though, still, when Maryam wanted her daughter to do something righteous and her daughter, Maryam's mother, and her daughter agreed to this, so she did dedicate her life to the worship of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.


And therefore, her gender did not stop her from pursuing excellence in the eyes of Allah. Gender means nothing when it comes to the path to Jannah. It doesn't matter whether you're male or female. The paths to Jannah are equal and the doors of Jannah are equally open. And that, my dear brothers and sisters, is the ultimate gender equality that the Sharia guarantees. Genders are real. Gender roles have some religious basis and some cultural basis. And therefore, the laws of the Sharia have some differences. Nonetheless, gender means nothing when it comes to piety, when it comes to Iman, when it comes to subservience to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And therefore, Allah says in the Quran that when her uncle Zakariya would bring the food to Maryam, Maryam is his niece, right?


When her uncle Zakariya, and she's in the temple, and she's worshipping Allah in her own chamber, she's constantly studying and doing dhikr and praying to Allah. Every time Zakariya comes in, kullama dhaqa alayha zakariya almihraaba wajada indaha rizqa He found there's already food, heavenly food over there. And Zakariya is like, who came here? I have the key. You're not supposed to go outside. I'm bringing your food. I'm taking care of you. Where'd this food come from? And she said, qalat huwa min indi Allah. This food is from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And therefore, Zakariya was inspired by the piety of Maryam. Hunâlika da'a Zakariyâ Rabbahu, When he saw how pious Maryam was, the old man, the prophet of Allah. Zakariyâ is a prophet of Allah. And he sees the piety of his niece Maryam.


And he feels inspired. He feels moved. And he makes dua to Allah. Oh Allah, you gave a miracle to my niece. Give me a miracle too. Give me a miracle to give me my son Yahya. Even though I'm elderly, I'm above the age of 90. My wife is now no longer capable of bearing a child. But oh Allah, look at this young lady. And she has been gifted with what she has been gifted. Then I can also be gifted with the miracle of Yahya. And so Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gifted him Yahya as well. And Maryam, despite her gender, verse number 42, what does Allah say? Ya Maryamu inna Allaha astafaaki wa tahharaki wa astafaaki ala nisa'il alameen Oh Maryam, Allah has chosen you. Allah has purified you.


And Allah has chosen you above all other ladies of all the world. Her gender did not stop her from being chosen by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Her gender was never an impediment in her closeness and piety to Allah. Now of course, as we said, gender is a real thing. And that is why in the very beginning of the surah, verse number 14, our Qari Hafizab recited it. Allah mentions that the genders are indeed temptations to one another. So we have to be careful about that. Zuyyinilinnasi hubbu al-shahawati min al-nisa'i wal-baneen. Verse number 14, beautified is it to men the desire and the lust that they have for women. And by the way, every time in the Quran or Sunnah, men are told about something about women, the opposite also applies.


That women are a temptation for men and men are a temptation for women. It's a two-way street. So gender is a real thing and we have to be extra careful. That's why we have laws in our Sharia about gender relations. And another verse in this surah about gender relations. And it is perhaps one of my favorite verses when it comes to gender equity. It's a beautiful, beautiful verse in the very end of the surah, verse 195. And to help you understand this surah, we have to turn to the hadith in Sunan al-Tirmidhi and also in the hadith of At-Tabari, our mother Umm Salama. Our mother Umm Salama, she asked the Prophet a question. Now, this question, I guarantee you, in the majority of gatherings of the world of scholars and masajids and what not, if a sister were to ask a similar question, she would be rebuked by not just many of the men present, perhaps even the Shaykh or the teacher.


How dare you ask this question? This is our mother, Umm Salama, asking the question. What was the question? She said, Ya Rasulallah, why does Allah only mention men in the Quran and not women? Even though we too have migrated and we too have been persecuted and we too participate in so many good deeds, why does Allah not mention women in the Quran? Can you imagine if a woman in our times were to stand up and ask this question? Can you imagine the outcry that would happen? How dare you, astaghfirullah? But you see, brothers, brothers, brothers, let me just tell you, man to man, frankly, Subhanallah, why this notion of, just imagine, just imagine, dear brothers in Islam, just imagine if your entire life and career were something that we treat our women the way that we treat our women.


And you had to live in that way. Being told no for this and no for that and everything is double standards. How would you feel? So our sisters do have their role and their rights. And if they're not given their legitimate rights, they're going to ask for illegitimate rights, which is what we are seeing now. Brothers, give our sisters the rights that Allah has given them. If you don't do that, don't be surprised when they demand that which Allah has not given them. It's very simple. So Umm Salama asked the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam that, O messenger of Allah, why doesn't Allah mention women? Notice, the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam didn't say how dare you astaghfirullah? Women know your place. He didn't do that at all. What happened?


Allah revealed Surah Al-Imran verse 195. Read it. Fa-satajabah lahum rabbuhum. Your Lord responded. The answer came down. Anni la udi'u amala a'malin minkum min dhukkirinna wa'untha I shall not cause the good deeds of any of you, male or female, to go to waste. Ba'dukum min ba'd That both of you are from one another. Every male comes from a male or female. Every female comes from a male or female. Each of you needs each other. Each of you comes from the other. You are not aliens to one another. You are not enemies to one another. You are not in opposite teams to one another. You're on the same team. Ba'dukum min ba'd. The both of you are from each other.


And therefore, those who migrated, those who were expelled from their lands, those who were persecuted because of me, those who fought, those who were killed, men or women, I shall forgive their sins and cause them to enter Jannah. And the reward is with Allah and indeed with Allah is the ultimate reward. This verse clearly, explicitly lays out the Islamic notions of gender equity. And by this I mean, and we'll come back to this point in other surahs as well, but this surah is very clear. A man and a woman are equal spiritually in the eyes of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Inni la u'dhiw a'mala a'malin minkum min dhakkirin u'untha. Any good deed that a person does, man or woman, the good deed will not become bigger and greater if a man does it.


Nor will the good deed become lesser if a woman does it. No! Every good deed, man or woman, will be rewarded equally regardless of gender. The paths to Jannah, the opportunity to go to Jannah, they are equal. And that is the ultimate equality. Dear sisters, dear sisters, do not judge your worth by comparing yourself and your roles to other creations of Allah. Other people, I mean here men. Don't judge your value by comparing yourself in any fashion, shape, or form to the roles and responsibilities of men. No! Your worth and your dignity comes from within yourself and your relationship with Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. That is how your value and your dignity is assigned. Not in comparison to anyone else.


When it comes to genders, it is true that the Sharia has responsibilities that are different, that are catered to each gender. Within these responsibilities, there is nothing to do of value and of nobility. Just because the responsibilities are different, it does not mean that the one is preferred over the other. Ba'dukum min ba'd. And we are going to come back to this in Surah An-Nisa as well, Insha'Allah wa ta'ala, tomorrow. I have to go over quite a lot now. We have already done only half the Surah and we are only going to do Al-Imran today. The next half of the Surah, it deals with quite a lot to do with the issues of the battle of Uhud. But before I get there, I really do have to mention one thing about the issue of Christianity.


It is true that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, of course, He talks about some of the righteous of the people of the Book. That Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says they are not all the same. Laysu sawaa. Allah says in the Quran, verse 113, that there are some that are good and there are some that are not so good. So, Allah says in Surah Al-Imran that there are people of the Ahlul Kitab that if you were to give them an entire treasure, verse 75, they would be faithful and return it to you. And if there were others, if you give them a coin, they would deceive and they would hide it from you. So, Allah separates the Ahlul Kitab. There are some good and there are some bad.


And this shows us, dear Muslims, if a person is a non-Muslim, that's definitely not good that they're non-Muslims. But you can have good manners as a non-Muslim. You can be honest as a non-Muslim. You can have a type of piety, not our type of piety, agreed. Not the taqwa related to Allah, but you can be God-conscious in your own way. In Surah Al-Imran, verse 113, Allah explicitly says there's a group of the Ahlul Kitab. They worship Allah. They recite the revelation of Allah. They prostrate themselves in front of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala despite the fact that they are Ahlul Kitab. So, piety can exist in non-Muslims at the same time. We have to be very clear here.


And that is that in Surah Al-Imran, there are some of the most explicit verses in the whole Quran about the reality of Islam being the only religion acceptable to Allah. You see the two are not mutually exclusive. You can have a type of piety and not be a Muslim. And in its own way, that is good. However, if t

Our Story

Join the Club

Hey guys, assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. So chapter 10 continues with Surah Al-Anfal. We started this surah talking about who gets the war treasures. In the past, usually it was finders keepers, but Allah decided that all war treasures are to be given to the Prophet because this wealth belongs to Allah. The Prophet's or the leader is meant to distribute this wealth evenly amongst people. One fifth of it belongs only to the Prophet, the orphans, the needy, and the rest of the money is shared amongst every soldier in battle. The war money must be distributed the way Allah tells us to. Everything belongs to Allah, even the money that we make today. Allah gives us money so that we can share it with others.


So whatever money that is made in this war, it must be used the way Allah wants us to. We talked about the battle of Badr and how the people were not prepared for it. They were scared and wanted to plan the date for a later day. But what did Allah do? Allah pushed them into it. Allah told them that if you had delayed it for another time, you would have lost this battle for sure. Sometimes Allah does the same to us. Sometimes we have something important we need to do, but we overthink it. We keep delaying it. Allah then comes and then just pushes us into this situation because Allah knows what's best for us. So anytime you feel like you've been thrown into a mess or a problem that came out of nowhere, don't freak out.


Just trust Allah. Sometimes Allah forces us into big situations so that we can learn something from it. You might not think you are prepared, but remember, if Allah has put you in this situation, then Allah knows that you are able to handle it. Even the failures from those bad situations is meant to teach you a value. We are told that anytime we are thrown into problems, instead of whining about it to other people, remember Allah instead. Whining won't help you and other people won't be able to help you unless Allah wants it. So turn to Allah first, always turn to Allah first, and then the right people will come to help you. We learn that Shaitan actually came to help the non-Muslims in human form.


Yeah, the devil came in human form to help the non-Muslims during the battle of Badr to encourage and pump up the non-Muslims, telling them, don't worry, I got you, but as soon as the armies saw each other. Shaitan saw the angels who came to help the Muslim side. He said, peace out, you guys are on your own. He said, I can see the punishment you guys are about to face, and I'm not going to be a part of that. So he said, alright, peace out. So you see that Shaitan still has fear of Allah, but does he change? Nope, he continues doing bad. Aren't we the same way too sometimes? We say that we fear Allah, but we still sin. We still smoke and drink and be in haram relationships.


So Allah talks about the hypocrites, how the hypocrites didn't trust Allah, that how can a Muslim army of 300 people trust Allah? How can a Muslim army of 300 go against an army of a thousand people? Yeah, sometimes we are in situations that might seem impossible and might seem super difficult. For example, a person who has many haram businesses is told he must leave all of those businesses behind, leave the haram money behind. But then how will he provide for his family? What will happen to all of his bills? It might seem crazy to leave all of it behind, but this is where trust in Allah comes in. If you truly trust Allah, then you should have no doubt that Allah will help you against all odds.


So next time you are afraid to make a huge decision and people doubt you, trust Allah. If he can send an army of angels to help the Prophet in his battle, of course Allah can help you too. The Quran tells us that Allah is never unfair to his people. When people are punished, they are only punished because of their own deeds. They do this to themselves. Allah will not take a blessing away from you unless you did something wrong. So if a blessing was taken away from you, it means you did something wrong. So reflect on it and try and figure out what you did wrong. In reference to the battle, Allah tells us to always be prepared. Always be ready for difficult situations.


Mentally prepare yourself for the problems you know are coming and the problems you don't know are coming. But also remember, you can prepare all you want. Say for an exam, you can study all you want, but unless you have Allah's help, you won't be 100% prepared. Don't you want to be 100% prepared? As long as you have Allah's help, that is the best help and only help you need. Allah says if you want help, you have to be patient. You have to put in effort. And you have to be patient. The more effort you put in, the more help Allah will give you. Allah actually gives us so much help, but we just don't use it. We don't use the answers and advice Allah gave us.


Yet we still whine and cry that Allah isn't helping us. No, He is helping. You just don't want to do what Allah told you to do. Allah tells us, be ready but avoid war whenever possible. Always seek the peaceful option. And only if the other side refuses to make peace and engages in war, then definitely you are allowed to go to war. But if they give up and ask for peace in the middle of fighting, then stop fighting and make peace. Just as it was very difficult for many of the Muslims to go to war, it will be very difficult for many of us to do the right thing. It will be difficult for some of us to pray or keep our fast. Allah says you should be encouraging to others.


Support them and encourage them. Don't force them, but encourage them. So after the battle, the Muslims had prisoners of war, captors, and they were trying to decide what to do with them. Some wanted to kill them. Others suggested, why don't we just let them go for war? Why don't we go for ransom? For money? Allah was actually upset about this. Why? Allah said, instead of worrying about making money again, your priority should be to defeat the enemy. Don't get distracted by all the ransom money. So Allah said, okay, fine. You can enjoy the ransom money as halal, but next time, don't focus on the money. Focus on defeating your enemy. The rules on war prisoners are that they are either freed without ransom, they're either freed with ransom, or exchanged for another Muslim prisoner, or they are kept as slaves.


Remember we discussed what slaves are? The purpose was to basically get them. To guide them and teach them. The purpose is not to just kill people left and right, because these same guided converts can help spread the word of Islam. Allah tells us there is a great reward for people who practice Islam in a non-Muslim country, because obviously it's difficult to practice when you're surrounded by non-Muslims and people who live such different lives. It is very easy for us to see the fun that other people are having and then just join in their habits. It's a lot harder. Allah tells us we should love others for the sake of Allah. We should help anyone who is trying to do good, and we should definitely help our fellow Muslims.


Be more proactive and do your best to help those other Muslims who are struggling to practice Islam. And we should definitely help those immigrant Muslims who came to a new country seeking a better life. The more we help others, the more Allah will help us. That's the rule. You want Allah to help you? Sometimes the best way to get Allah's help is by helping others. So this is where Surah Al-Anfal ends and Chapter 10 continues with Surah Tawbah. So Surah Tawbah begins as a declaration by Allah, basically a command from Allah and the Messenger that it's time to cancel the treaty the Muslims made with the non-Muslims. So Makkah, the place where the Kaaba is, was still full of non-Muslims, full of idol worshippers and people who would perform naked rituals.


They were still many people who would harass and kill the Muslims and stop them from performing Hajj. The Muslims wanted their place of worship back and they wanted to get rid of those idol worshippers who harassed and attacked the Muslims. The Prophet declared that it is time for us to cancel our agreement with the idol worshippers. And take a look at this. In Islam, you can’t just break an agreement. You have to announce it to the other group. You can’t just surprise attack and stab them in the back. This is how civil Islam is. In fact, it is forbidden for anyone to fight if you have a treaty with them unless you cancel that agreement publicly. So the non-Muslims were told, hey, you guys have four months to decide what you want to do.


If you accept Islam and repent, you’re more than welcome to stay. But if you don’t want to accept, you’re going to have to leave. Now this harsh treatment wasn’t toward all non-believers. No, Muslims were told only break the treaty with the people who are already breaking the treaty. Meaning, those people who were attacking and killing the Muslims. But for those people who did nothing wrong to you, keep your agreement with them until the agreement expires. But eventually, they would also have to leave. Now why is it that all idol worshippers have to leave? Why couldn't some of the nice ones stay? Well because Allah knew that as long as some of the idol worshippers stayed in Mecca, there would always be a problem for the Muslims. Someone will always be conspiring against the Muslims.


The purpose wasn't to forcefully convert them to Islam either. No. It was meant to rid Mecca of idol worshippers and allow the Muslims a safe space to live. It was meant to return to the Kaaba and practice Islam. The idol worshippers were more than welcome to continue worshipping idols, but it would have to be outside of Mecca. And if after the 40-month period, these criminals were still in Mecca, causing chaos, then capture those people and eliminate them, basically kill them. Now this is a very popular verse in Quran that many people take and manipulate, so pay extra attention. The verse goes, 'kill the polytheists', meaning those who worship multiple gods, kill them wherever you find them and capture them. People all around the world who try it.


They argue that Islam is a religion of violence and chaos. They look at this verse and they say, look, it says, find and kill every non-Muslim person in the world. Now you might be thinking, hmm, well that is kind of exactly what the Quran says. No, it's actually not. You cannot take this single line out of context and say, oh, Allah told us to find and kill every non-Muslim person in the world. No. First of all, this command was only given to the Muslims that specific time. Not to us. It's telling the Muslims. It's telling the Muslims at the time of the Prophet, that if those idol worshippers, the criminal ones, not the ones who were nice to you, the violent ones, if they refuse to leave you and try and fight you, you have the right to kill them.


Meaning if they don't leave peacefully and then they try killing you first, then yes, at that time you may kill them. And even in the end of that verse, Allah says, if those criminals decide to leave peacefully or they repent and accept Islam, then let them go. So does everyone understand that now? This verse only applies to the Muslims during that time of the story. And only applied to the idol worshippers of that time. And only the violent idol worshippers who were not leaving without a fight. It did not apply to anyone else and did not mean that Muslims today should go and kill every non-Muslim out there. War must only be used as a last resort. As a self-defense. Good. That took a lot to explain. The next ayah literally says, If.


After those four months, those polytheists, even the criminal ones, tell you, hey, I need more time to think. I don't know much about Islam, but I promise not to fight you anymore. If they say that, then give them your protection. If the enemy wants more time to understand the Quran, then give them that time. Give them that chance to learn. Even in today's world, so many people who hate Islam have never even properly understood it. Of course they will hate Islam if all they see are bad examples on the media. So be patient with them. Don't get offended or angry and give them a chance. Allah tells us, those that repent, start praying and giving Zakat, Allah will forgive them and they will become Muslims. They will have equal rights as any other Muslim.


Because some people wonder, how do you know if those polytheists actually will convert and aren't just lying? Well, it's by their actions. A Muslim is known by his Salah and his Zakat. Allah tells the newly converts, you will be tested like all of the other Muslims and you will have to prove yourselves. Allah tells us later on, make sure you prioritize. Prioritize Islam over everything else. Make sure you follow your responsibility to Allah before your responsibility to your family, friends and your work. Many of us get so busy in life with family and work that we forget to make time to pray. We get so exhausted doing everything else that we put no effort into what we should be doing for Allah. We barely make zikr, we barely read Quran, we don't care to even understand the Quran.


Allah says this is wrong. If you care more about your job and feel too embarrassed to take a break and pray, your priority is way off. We are so worried about Islam. We forget about our other responsibilities that we forget about our responsibility to Allah. Allah is not saying ignore your other responsibilities. Allah is not saying ignore your parents or don't go to school. No. Allah is just saying, your priority should be Allah first. And it doesn't even make any sense. If we actually are super worried about work and family, don't you think Allah will help you in those matters? Duh. Allah can help you if you just ask. If we prioritize Allah and give Allah attention, Allah will help you with all the things you're worried about.


Allah now talks about what we should do. If we take care of our children, if we keep them in the same home, if we take care of even though they were given the original message of Allah, they changed their beliefs. They went too far. The Christians associate Jesus with God and the Jews say Ezra is the son of God, which is all shirk. Allah says for those believers, Jews, Christians, and any faith that believes in one God, they may live in an Islamic ruled country but they should pay a tax called jizya. ?? Muslim countries are only responsible to take care of and protect their own people. That's their priority. If those believers want the Muslims to protect the non-believers, then this tax is basically for that purpose for the Muslims to take responsibility and provide the non-Muslims with resources and protection.


Allah said; how do these people still turn away from the truth? Allah tells us how their rabbis and priests, their religious leaders, take money from them just for themselves. They come up with different schemes to get people to pray for programs and other scams only to become richer. And we definitely see that today, where some priests, even those even from mega churches, have so much money for all the donations that they've taken. Those religious leaders live like kings, and yet they don't give anything back to the people. Yes, Some of our own Muslim imams also live like this, and it's very wrong. Allah says those people who keep their wealth and don't donate any of it on the day of judgment, all of that wealth will be melted, and then stamped on that person's forehead and body.


Allah tells us why he created the lunar calendar with the period of 12 lunar months, and how formerly, those are very sacred reasons. Why the lunar year? Well, think about it when we perform Hajj or fasting for Ramadan, if we follow the Solar calendar, that means Hajj and Ramadan will always be on the same day, same season. Would that be fair for some of the people who always have to fast during the hottest time of the year? Look at the beauty of this, that because Ramadan and Hajj always fall on different days and different times of the season. Every Muslim gets to experience Ramadan and Hajj in a different season. It won't always be in the same conditions Allah asks us again. What is Wrong with you people?


Why don't you put more effort into following Islam? Why don't you give more charity or fight for Islam? Why are you so desperate for this world? It's like a person who's going crazy over wanting a bike when Allah is actually offering them a Rolls Royce. Dip your finger in the ocean, what's left on the finger a little bit of water which is slowly drying up, that drip of water is like this world and the ocean is like Jannah. Wake up people wake up! So this is in reference to Allah telling the Prophet's followers to march forth, And defeat the next army, and people would make up excuses as to why they didn't want to; They wanted to chase the world and relax. Allah says, you know what?


Even if you don't go forward, Islam will continue with or without you. Allah doesn't lose anything. But you do; those who make up excuses as to why they don't pray, or read the Quran, or give charity, or fast. Allah doesn't lose anything, but that person does. There's actually this one hadith where one person even told the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), 'Sorry, I can't go on this journey with you. I heard that city that you're going to has very beautiful women and I'm very weak. So if I go, I might do something bad with them. So this is why I should stay behind.' Are you kidding me? All of us come up with dumb excuses like this It's ridiculous a true believer must believe and trust whatever happens to them good or bad is Allah's decision That even if something bad happens while a person is trying to do good They won't be bitter about it For example,


you go to the masjid and your car gets towed a weak believer would think that man I knew I shouldn't have gone to the masjid a True believer would think this is Allah's plan. I accept it I'm okay That is how we should all act when something bad happens when we are trying to do a good deed Don't get sad and upset Accept it and trust that Allah did this to help you. There were some hypocrites who said, okay, I won't go with you But I'll donate more money No You cannot just throw money to make up for your lack of effort Allah then talks about who the zakat money is for and how


the hypocrites would hate giving up some of their money Allah says beware of those hypocrites They're fake Muslims and they're like cancer so Allah finally told the Muslims that these people have had nine years to change themselves Now you can be more harsh with the hypocrites Don't fight them or kill them but expose them and remove this cancer from the community Allah says don't be jealous of those hypocrites who have tons of wealth They might be enjoying the money on the outside But on the inside they're crying Allah even Told the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam not to pray funeral prayers over those hypocrites. That's how much hypocrites were hated. So, that's where Chapter 10 ends. Let's do a quick recap: We learned about who gets the war treasures and how it must be distributed.


We learned that sometimes we might be afraid to do something and might delay it, and how sometimes Allah will push us into a difficult situation and instead of freaking out, we should just trust Allah that He did this for the best. We learned that no matter how difficult the task may be or how bad the situation might be, just ask Allah for help. He is the best helper. He will help you win, just ask. We learned in Surah Thaubah that the Muslims were required to get rid of all the idol worshippers in Mecca and how if they wished to repent and learn about Islam, we should give them a chance. We learned that we should always prioritize Allah over everything else our family, parents, work, money when we prioritize Allah, Allah helps us with all of those things that we're so worried about.


We learned how the lunar calendar is set up so that every Muslim in every city can experience Ramadan in different seasons. So it's not always hot for everyone in one place. We learned again that we shouldn't chase this dunya. We should focus on Jannah. Lastly, we learned that we shouldn't make excuses not to pray or fast, and how? Hypocrites are hated people. So make sure you're not one of those hypocrites. So this is where chapter 10 ends and Surah Thaubah continues in Chapter 11.

And who is better in speech than he who calls to Allah and acts righteously, and says, Indeed, I am of the Muslims. May the peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you. Praise be to Allah. Praise be to Allah Who sent down on His servant a Book, Wa lam yaj'al lahu 'iwjā. We thank Allah for every blessing He has given us. We praise Him for having revealed the Qur'an to us. We thank Him for having guided us to Islam. We worship Him and we extol Him, because only He is worthy of unconditional praise. And we send salat and salam upon our Prophet Muhammad, the one whom Allah chose to reveal His final Book to, and sent down the best of all angels, the angel Jibreel, to the Prophet.


To reveal to him His chosen speech. And we thank Allah for having gifted us with life, and for having gifted us this month of Ramadan. And during this month, dear brothers and sisters, as has been my habit for the last decade, I'm going to be starting a new series. But this is a series that I am very hesitant even to begin, but I pray to Istikhara and I put my trust in Allah. The goal of this project is very ambitious. It is to summarize the entire message of the Qur'an in 30 lessons. And before we begin, I really do need to very quickly give you a brief methodology about the remaining lectures. Obviously, this series is called the Qur'an in 30 lessons.


It is really meant as an overview, a bird's eye view, a summary, a condensed presentation of the message of the Qur'an. And it is not meant to take the place, not just of the original, nothing can take the place of the original, but even of any tafsir, or of any full translation. Rather, my goal in this series is that this lecture should serve as an introduction and as a motivation for you to then read the Qur'an, firstly in Arabic, the juz' that we're going to do, the section that we're going to do, and then insha'Allah ta'ala read the translation of at least one thirtieth of the Qur'an. So the goal of this introductory lecture is to entice you, insha'Allah, to give you some background knowledge so that insha'Allah you can then read the original Arabic and then read any translation in your language so that you have some ideas and some contextualization.


And of course, since we are summarizing, of course, we're not going to go over verse by verse. We're not going to go over word by word. Rather, we're going to talk about motifs and themes and perhaps one or two verses I will contextualize or point out or maybe correct a common misunderstanding that might exist. And so, do not make this invalid assumption that just because I skip over some verses, somehow they are not as relevant as others. Obviously, the entire Qur'an is equally important. And obviously, we need to read the Qur'an cover to cover. So this lecture is simply meant, especially for those who have never read the Qur'an or perhaps they are not Muslim yet and they're interested in the messages over all of the Qur'an or perhaps our young men and women are teenagers and those that they are wanting some background knowledge.


This is really the purpose of the project that I am undertaking. As well, if anybody is accustomed to listening to my previous lectures, any lectures that I give, you are typically aware that it is my style in other lectures to be pretty exhaustive, to mention various opinions, to go down different tangents. In this series, I will try my best to really skim over and to really give only one opinion. And what that means is that sometimes I'm going to say something and that's what happens at a beginning level and it actually is only one opinion out of five. And I'm just going to say it and move on. So please do not assume that this is the advance towards an exhaustive study. That is for other lectures.


And of course, this is an ambitious project. I ask Allah Azza wa Jal for His help and His blessings. And I say even in Arabic, it has rarely been done where the goal is to just summarize in just half-hour lectures the entire message of the Qur'an. It's a project that has a lot of pros and a lot of cons. And this is a human attempt from me. So it is bound to have some errors, some failings. It is bound to be subjected to some valid criticisms or alternative paradigms. And for that, I ask Allah's forgiveness first and foremost and then the reader's and the listener's indulgence. My goal really, my goal is to introduce a summarized message of the Qur'an to an English-speaking audience, especially to our young men and women who perhaps haven't read the entire Qur'an.


Perhaps they won't be given that opportunity or they're not interested right now. Through these series of lectures, my goal is to entice them. My goal is to make them feel enthused, to go read the entire Qur'an cover to cover. And I ask Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la for His blessings and guidance. And I ask for His forgiveness for any shortcomings and any mistakes. Now, one other point before we get to the recitation. This series is of course in 30 parts. And the division of the Quran into 30 parts, these parts in Arabic are called Juz, the plural is Ajza. And in the Urdu or Hindi-speaking world, it's called Para or Separa. This division of the Quran into 30 parts, it is a very old division.


It originated in Iraq in the second century of the Hijrah, in the time of the Tabataabi'oon. It is not something that the Prophet did or the Sahaba did. It was done in early Islam to facilitate reading the Quran in a month. And so they would divide the Quran into roughly one-thirtieth and they called it a Juz so that every day you can read one and so that in every month you will finish the Quran. And it's useful. However, these divisions are not divine in nature. They are done by committees or groups of people from the past and it just kind of sort of stayed on. Therefore, in my 30 lectures that I'm going to be giving, while we will be going, you know, bit by bit, we are not going to actually be doing specifically one Juz.


It will be around a Juz. Sometimes I'll go a little bit more. Sometimes I'll go a little bit less. Sometimes I'll do the entire Surah. If it's like a Juz and a half, I'll just summarize the entire Surah. The point is that we will be progressing through the Qur'an bit by bit, but not necessarily exactly at the marker of the Juz. Rather, I'm going to try my best to summarize as many Surahs as I can because the Surah or the chapter is what is divine. That is what Allah demarcated. Surah Al-Baqarah, Surah Al-Imran, Surah An-Nisa. That is from Allah. And as for these Juz markings, they're somewhat random and, you know, there's no problem with them, but the meanings are not marked by those 30th. It's just a random point where 1/30th of the Qur'an finishes.


And one of the things I was very eager about in this series as well is that because the Qur'an is the Arabic, eternal, uncreated divine speech of Allah. No translation will ever take the place of the Qur'an. And it's necessary that we get even just a glimpse of the beauty of the original. And therefore, I'm going to try my best, InshaAllah, that every single day we're going to begin our series with at least around 10 minutes of recitation from our Qari Hafiz Sajjad, our Qari here in Dallas. And it's only going to be a 10-minute selection. And InshaAllah, the recitation and the Surah and the verse is going to be on your screen. I strongly encourage and recommend you to follow along that recitation and then to listen to my summary.


And then later on in these nights of Ramadan, when most of us are locked down, this is the lockdown Ramadan. This is going to go down in history as the COVID-19 Ramadan. The Ramadan where we spent more time with our family and more time with the Quran. So the goal is after this lecture that you then read the entire Juz at least and then read a translation so that InshaAllah throughout this whole month of Ramadan, you will not only read the Quran, but you would have had your first, maybe some of you, your first understanding for the entire Juz that we're going to be doing a tafsir of. And with that, I'm going to ask Qari Hafiz Sajjad to recite a selection and I ask you to follow along. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.

In their hearts is a disease, so Allah has increased them in disease, and for them is a painful punishment for what they used to lie. And when it is said to them, 'Do not corrupt in the land,' they will say, 'We are only reformers.' Is it not that they are the corrupt, but do not feel? And when it is said to them, 'Believe as they believe.' As the people believed, they said, 'Do we believe as the hypocrites believed?' No, indeed they are the hypocrites, but they do not know. And when they met those who believed, they said, 'We believe.' And when they turned to their devils, they said, 'We are with you,' but we are only mockers.


Allah mocked them and made them blind in their transgression. . Those are the ones who bought misguidance with guidance, so their trade did not profit and they were not guided. Their example is like an example that was awakened by a fire, but when what was around it was lost, Allah went with their light . And He left them in darkness, not to be seen. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

They walked in it, and when it became dark for them, they stood up. And if Allah had willed, He would have gone with their hearing and their eyes. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent. O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may be righteous. Who made the earth a throne for you and the sky a throne for you. Who made the earth a throne for you and the sky a throne for you. Who made the earth a throne for you and the sky a throne for you. And who sent down water from the sky and brought forth for it a provision for you. And who sent down water from the sky and brought forth for it a provision for you.


And who sent down water from the sky and brought forth for it a provision for you. And who sent down water from the sky and brought forth for it a provision for you. And who sent down water from the sky and brought forth for it a provision for you. And who sent down water from the sky and brought forth for it a provision for you. And who sent down water from the sky and brought forth for it a provision for you. And who sent down water from the sky and brought forth for it a provision for you. And who sent down water from the sky and brought forth for it a provision for you. And who sent down water from the sky and brought forth for it a provision for you.


And you know. And if you are in doubt about what We have revealed to Our Servant, then come to a Surah like it and invite your witnesses to come to Him. And invite your witnesses besides Allah, if you are truthful. So if you do not do, and you do not do, then fear the Fire which is the fuel of the people, and the stones which have been prepared for the disbelievers. And give glad tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds, that they will have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That which they had provided there of fruit and provision; They will say, 'This is what He has provided for us before,' and were given there tôi similar. And in them there will be purified wives.


And in them there will be purified wives mutahharatun wahum feeha khalidoon. Sadaqallahu al-azim. So, this Juz is of course the beginning of the Quran. And we begin with Surah Al-Fatihah, the opening. And what a beautiful Surah it is. Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la describes Surah Al-Fatihah as being the seven oft-repeated verses. As-saba'al mathani. And SubhanAllah, there is nothing in this entire world that is recited anywhere near the amount of times that Surah Al-Fatihah is recited. No prayer, no literature, no piece of any statement of any man that is recited as much as this verse or these verses from Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la. Every practicing Muslim recites Surah Al-Fatihah around two dozen times a day. There are a billion Muslims in the world. Multiply that by 365 days of the year.


Multiply that for the last 14 centuries until the Day of Judgment. There is nothing in all of humanity's history that is recited or has been recited as much as Surah Al-Fatihah. And that is why Allah calls it as-saba'al mathani, the seven oft-repeated verses. And Surah Al-Fatihah summarizes our entire purpose of life. We begin by praising Allah. Unconditional. Alhamdulillah. And He is the Lord, the ultimate Lord of all of the creations. And we are reminded of His most essential characteristics. He is compassionate. He is merciful. We are reminded that there is an ultimate Day of Judgment. That this life is not going to end with our death, but we are going to be resurrected. And that Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la will judge us when He resurrects us.


And then we are told, what is our purpose here? What are we supposed to do? Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasabu. Asta'een. You alone, O Allah, are we going to worship. And you alone are the one whose help we will seek. There is no object in this entire creation that is worthy of our veneration, our worship, our servitude, besides you, O Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la. And no one is there that can help me, that can guide me, that whom I can ask besides you. And that is why we worship Him and we seek His help alone. And what is the most important aspect of help that we want? Ihdinas siratal mustaqeem. We want to be rightly guided. We want the straight path. This world is full of paths.


Allah tells us in the Qur'an, don't follow the wrong paths. There are so many misdirections. There are so many evil ways. We don't want to go down those ways. We want to go down the straight path. The path that will take us to the pleasure of Allah, Subh'ana Hu Wa Ta-A'la. The path of the righteous. The path of the prophets. The path of the martyrs. The path of those who have chosen piety over impiety. That have chosen to worship Allah over living a vicious life. And Allah, Subh'ana Hu Wa Ta-A'la reminds us by telling us how to ask Him, we are given hope. He has spoon-fed us, this is what you ask me. Because the one who will respond when He tells you how to ask, then your trust in Him and your optimism for having your dua answered will be even higher.



So we ask Allah to guide us to the straight path. Ihdinas siratal mustaqeem. Which path is that? Siratal ladheena an'amta alayhim. It is the path of those whom Allah has blessed, whom Allah has favored. Because we don't want the path of those who intentionally go astray. Those who know the truth and then decide to not take that path. Hence they are accursed. Hence Allah's anger is on them. Nor do we want the path of those who might be sincere but they're not doing their research. They're not reflecting enough. They're being a little bit naive and they're just going because other people are going. They might deep down inside have an element of sincerity. But we are not cheap. We don't just go where the people go.


We don't want to go where the people are leading us astray. And that is the path of daaleen. Where even if the intentions might be good, but they haven't done tafakkur and tadabbur. They haven't contemplated and hence they still go astray. And by saying Ameen, the meaning of Ameen is an affirmation of all that has preceded. The meaning of Ameen is to say, O Allah, all that I have heard, I want this O Allah, grant it to me. And so this Surah serves as an introduction to our relationship between us and Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la. Who is Allah and what is our job and our goal in this life? And that is the worship of Allah. And that is constantly wanting to better ourselves by finding the right path.


Of course, Surah Al-Baqarah, which we'll now move on to. Surah Al-Baqarah is of course named after the famous story of Musa telling his people to say, sacrifice a cow. And by the way, the names of the Surahs, they are not necessarily divine. The names of the Surahs, we don't really have to read in symbolic imagery or metaphorical language. No, it's just a marker. Sometimes that marker was given by the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam. And sometimes the companions just decided to name a Surah. So it's the names of the Surahs are for convenience sake simple as that. And of course Surah Al-Baqarah is the longest Surah of the Quran. And it contains the single most blessed verse. The verse of the Quran. And that is Ayatul Kursi.


Allahu la ilaha illa huwal hayyu al qayyum It also has the verses that were given to our Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam when he went on the night journey. And Allah Azawajal gifted him directly from under the treasures of his throne. He gifted him something unique. And that is the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah. The Aamina Rasool section of the last two verses. Also Surah Al-Baqarah has the last verse that was ever revealed. In the entire Quran, the last verse that was ever revealed. And that is Wattaqu yawman turja'una fihi ila Allah; Be conscious of the day you shall return to Allah. That was the prediction that Allah told to our Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam that you will be returning back to your Lord.


Surah Al-Baqarah is, of course, the Surah that was first revealed when the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam migrated from Makkah to Madinah. It is an early Madani revelation. And this is important because the styles of the Quran they vary. From Makkah to Madinah. The content of the Quran varies when it was coming down from Makkah to Madinah. The style of the verses, the languages, even sometimes the metaphors that are employed. So it helps us in understanding the Quran to know where the Quran or which portion of the Quran was revealed where. Also Surah Al-Baqarah has been praised very highly by the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam. Now, does this mean that some sections of the Quran are more blessed than others? Yes, actually that is the case.


Some sections of the Quran are more blessed than others even though the whole Quran as a whole is of course infinitely more blessed than anything that any human can say. The Quran is the speech of Allah and therefore compared to us the superiority of the speech of Allah over our speech is similar to the superiority of Allah over us. However, within the speech of Allah certain sections are more powerful than others. Certain Surahs are more blessed than others even though the whole Quran is powerful and blessed. And Surah Al-Baqarah in particular, there are many blessings about this Surah. Of them is the famous hadith in Bukhari and Muslim that our Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam commanded us to recite the Quran. And then he said, the Quran will come as an intercessor for those who recite it.


And then out of all of the Quran he said, 'Iqra'u al-Baqarah wa aali imran,' Recite Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Aali Imran. Recite Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Aali Imran. And then he called them Zahrawain, the two bright Surahs. So he called Baqarah and Aali Imran lamps, illuminating lights. And he said, on the Day of Judgment these two Surahs in particular, they will come like two massive clouds or two massive flocks of birds in ranks pleading for the one who has recited these two Surahs. So out of the whole Quran he then said, 'Recite Baqarah and Aali Imran.' And then he said, 'Iqra'u al-Baqarah.' Recite Baqarah. So then he emphasized Baqarah over Aali Imran. And then he said, 'Iqra'u al-Baqarah fa inna akhdahu barakah. Taking it is going to be a blessing.


Tarkuhu hasarah. Leaving Baqarah is going to cause you a source of grief and regret. And wa la yastati'uhul batalah. An evil can never overcome or confront Surah Al-Baqarah. So these beautiful phrases of our Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam, holding on to Baqarah will bring barakah. Barakah means Allah's blessings, Allah's favors. And he told us not reciting Baqarah will give us hasrah. And hasrah means grief. We're going to be sad. So when we're sad, reciting Baqarah will eliminate the grief because by not reciting Baqarah, we become sad. Therefore, when we are sad, if we recite Baqarah, we will become cheered up. We'll become happy. And our Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam said, evil can never conquer Surah Al-Baqarah. Surah Al-Baqarah.


Of course, because it is so long and because it came down in the early Madinah phase, because of its length, there's hardly any topic that it does not discuss. You can really say Baqarah summarizes the entire Qur'an. And it begins by discussing the three main categories of mankind. All of mankind can be divided into three simple categories. Those who believe, those who choose not to believe, and these are the kafir, and then those who don't. Those who pretend to believe, and these are the hypocrites. And this is the broad category of mankind. Also, Surah Al-Baqarah mentions every single aspect of our creed, what we believe. Every aspect of theology is mentioned in Surah Al-Baqarah. In particular, so many verses about belief in Allah and the proofs of Allah's existence and the proof of Allah's ultimate dominion and control.


Allah says in Surah Al-Baqarah, that Ya ayyuha annas, O mankind, worship your Lord who created you and those before you, who made this earth a vast land and who made the skies a towering adornment. So do not take partners alongside Allah. Worship Allah alone. Allah says in Surah Al-Baqarah, Wa ilahukum ilahun wahid. Your Lord is one Lord. Your God is one God. La ilaha illahu. There is no God other than Him. He is the Rahman, the Rahim. And then Allah says, Look around you. In the creation of the heavens and the earth. In the creation of the heavens and earth. In the alternation of the night and the day. In the ships that sail in the oceans for the benefit of mankind.


In the rain and the water that Allah sends down from the skies and it revives the earth after it had been dead. And it scatters amongst all types of creatures. In the changing of the winds and the seasons. In the clouds that are moving around between the heavens and the earth. And all of these signs are miracles for people who believe. And all of these signs are miracles for people who reflect. For people who understand. Allah is saying, Do you need any evidence that there is a higher power? Look at this beautiful world around you. There is hardly any aspect of it except that it is screaming the existence of Allah . This Surah also tells us to believe in the angels.


And in particular, out of the whole Qur'an, it is this Surah that mentions the two most powerful angels. That Allah says in Surah Al-Baqarah, من كان عدوم ولجبريل وميكال Whoever is an enemy to Jibreel and Mikaal has taken Allah as an enemy as well. And therefore, Jibreel and Mikaal are mentioned explicitly by name in this Surah. This Surah as well tells us to believe in the previous Prophets and in their revelations. In fact, on the very first page of this Surah, Allah tells us that the believers are those who believe in what has been revealed to you and what has been revealed to those before you. والذين من قبلكم We are told that we are not the first nation. Our Prophet is not the first Prophet.


No, the one who created the first mankind also sent the first Prophet before us. So a part of our theology is that our theology is not unique. It is not new. It goes back to the beginning of time. We are also told in this Surah to believe in the Prophets. So many Prophets are mentioned. We are going to go over some of them in the next few minutes. And so we are told of the histories of previous nations as well. In this Surah as well, we are told about the resurrection and the judgment and the links to the previous life that we had with our next life. Allah says in the Quran كيف تكفرون بالله Surah Al-Baqarah How can you reject Allah? How can you deny the existence of Allah?


How can you not worship God when you didn't exist and He created you and He gave you life? Then He is the one that will cause you to die and then you shall return to Him. So all of the main points of our creed, our belief are very clearly mentioned in this Surah. As well, Surah Al-Baqarah is a unique Surah as well in that it tells us every single one of our rituals by name. It tells us the five pillars of Islam. It tells us of course that the righteous are those who practice these pillars. In fact, that is the very first verse of Surah Al-Baqarah, ذلك الكتاب العرب فيه للمتقين الذين يؤمنون بالغيب. They believe, there has to be belief. وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ.


So that the people, the righteous are those who they are following these rituals after their belief. وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ. And they spend from the money that we have given unto them. So we are told of the rituals, the Salah, the Zakah in this chapter as well. Come the famous verses of fasting. The famous verses we hear every single Ramadan where Allah says O you who believe, fasting has been prescribed for you. This is the month of fasting, it's mentioned in Surah Al-Baqarah. The month of Ramadan is mentioned in Surah Al-Baqarah. Surah Al-Baqarah tells us that fasting is nothing new. Actually, every generation, every nation, every prophet was given some type of fasting as well. His Ummah was also given the commandment to fast.


We are not the first to fast and then Allah tells us the purpose of the fast is a higher goal. That we can be conscious of Allah, the purpose of Taqwa. So the fasting is mentioned here. In Surah Al-Baqarah. In Surah Al-Baqarah as well, we have the command to perform the Hajj. Allah says in Surah Al-Baqarah: Wa atimmu al-hajja wal-umratalillah; Fulfil the commandment to do Hajj and fulfill the commandment to do Umrah for the sake of Allah. So all of these rituals are explicitly mentioned in Surah Al-Baqarah. But rituals is not the only aspect of our faith. Theology is not the only aspect of our faith. This Surah as well, we learn about the prohibitions of alcohol. About the prohibitions of gambling. Allah says in the Quran, alcohol, there might be some benefit.


There is some good, I'm not denying it. Allah is saying yes, there is some pleasure in it that it makes you feel good, yes. But then Allah says, but the evil of it, the filth of it is much more than the benefit that comes. Allah says in the Quran that gambling, as well as Maysir, it's a waste of our money and time. Shaytaan wants to cause division between us. Shaytaan wants to waste our money by gambling. So Allah prohibits for us alcohol and alcoholic drinks and all types of drugs. And Allah forbids us from gambling and other aspects as well. And this shows us that the Quran has to shape our morality as well. Those who believe in this book, it's not good enough to simply have abstract theology, I believe in God.


Rather, the Quran is going to shape your personality. Your personal morality as well. Your ethics as well. It also tells us Surah Al-Baqarah that morality alone is not good enough. No, Islam is more than just theology and rituals and morality. The Quran is coming, Surah Al-Baqarah is coming with very specific personal laws. There are many verses in Surah Al-Baqarah about marriage, about divorce, about living our lives in accordance with very specific guidelines. In fact, in Surah Al-Baqarah, we are even told about how we divorce. If we have to get a divorce, even though it's not encouraged overall. But if a divorce is going to take place, Surah Al-Baqarah is telling us that be gentle, be kind. Bilma'roof. Do it in the best manner.


Surah Al-Baqarah is telling us that even if a divorce must take place, then gift each other. And especially the husband should give a gift to his wife. Wa matti'uhunna. Give them a gift at the parting. And Surah Al-Baqarah is telling us that even after the divorce takes place, how long can the lady wait before she remarries another person. These detailed laws, it's literally explicit. Four months and ten days. It comes as a number. Arba'ata ashwarin wa ashra. It literally informs us therefore that one who believes in Allah, there are laws that need to be followed. And these laws are for our own betterment and our own good as well. The laws don't just deal with our personal lives, our marriage, our divorce. No. Surah Al-Baqarah also lays down the foundations for the concept of Islamic economics.


Multiple verses in Surah Al-Baqarah deal with Islamic financial concepts, which are very different and unique to those found in other traditions and cultures. Allah encourages us to write down contracts. Allah encourages us to be specific. In the Quran, Allah wants there to be witnesses that people know. Don't do things in secret. Have the contract. Let people know. Whenever you're going to agree about a business, about any type of thing, about a loan, then uktubuhu. Allah is encouraging us. Write it down. Don't just let it ambiguous. And if you're able to have witnesses so that everybody knows, because we don't like ambiguity. We don't want problems to come. Deceitfulness. We don't want the opportunity for shaitan to bring any type of acrimonious hatred between two people because of money.


So one of the ways that we get out of this is that we're very clear in our business guidelines. What exactly is each partner going to do? How much profit is going to be given? Allah wants us to be very clear. And then in Surah Al-Baqarah, Allah also lays down one of the biggest sins in our religion and the biggest cardinal sin when it comes to finances and that is interest. Surah Al-Baqarah says that Allah has forbidden interest and Allah has allowed buying and selling. Allah has allowed free market trading generally speaking and Allah has forbidden interest. And then Allah says, whoever legalizes interest, whoever thinks that interest is good and he wants to take it, he might as well be declaring war against Allah Himself.


From all of this we learn that our faith, our religion, the religion of Islam is not just a private matter that between me and Allah; I believe in a God, and I believe It's not even a personal ethical that okay in my own personal life I'm not going to drink and I'm not going to do gambling. It's not even in my interactions with Allah. It's not even with others on a small basis in my marriage and divorce and inheritance. No, it's much more than this. Islam aims for the betterment of human society. Islam wants cultures to flourish. Islam wants its people to live ethical lives and for the civilizations of its peoples to become strong and that will only happen when they have an entire system of life.


Not just in their theology, not just in their rituals, in their ethics, in their norms, in their values, in their interactions with others, in their marriage and divorce, in how they give their property away, in their business transactions and in their personal matters. This is what the entire religion of Islam is. So we are given the crystal clear picture that Islam is not just a personal faith, not at all. Islam is an entire way that is meant to empower us, to improve our souls, to bring about laws that will better society and to cause positive values to be prevalent while minimizing evil, while covering up corruptive factors, greed, gambling, drugs and vice. We don't want to promote that type of stuff. It's not healthy for mankind.


So, the Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah, is coming with this civilizational message that Islam is more than just an abstract series of beliefs. Also, Surah Al-Baqarah is one of the main surahs that mentions so many previous prophets. And SubhanAllah, we can give many lectures just about this issue. Look for example at the story of Adam, which is the first story in the Quran. And of course, it's the most appropriate story to begin with. It is the story of our origin. Where do we come from? Where does this beautiful creation of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala originate from? Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala created us and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala created the original man and his spouse. And from both of them, all of us came.


And in the original story, the Adamic story, we learn so much about them; it's the divine gift, the mystery of language, of intellect. Because when Allah teaches Adam to speak, to teach someone, that person has to have intellect to learn. Also, eloquent speech indicates that the one who is speaking is one of intelligence. And so, by reminding us that Allah gifted man the Allamahu al-Bayana Surah Ar-Rahman, Surah Al-Baqarah. And Allah taught Adam all the Nusuita Al-Baqarah and taught Adam all the Nusuita Al-Baqarah. Allah taught Adam the gift of human speech. Where does speech come from? To this day, you know, linguists and psychoanalysts, they are debating what is the origin of speech? Because it's very, very unique amongst all of the creation of this world. We are the only species whose speech is eloquent.


We can talk about history and physics and metaphysics. We can wonder and pontificate about the meaning of nature. We can pass down our traditions to future generations. We can write that which no other species can do. So we are a unique species. Where did this come from? Allah says in the Quran, وَعَلَّمَ آدَمَ الْأَسْمَاءَ كُلَّهَا So the Adamic story, it tells us the beauty of that gift of language and that gift of intelligence. Also in the Adamic story, we learn that we are not the only creation. There is another creation as well. And that is the Iblis or the Jinn or the Shayateen. They are also here. We are not the only creation. We are not the only creation.


And we learn here one of the main morals and lessons of that story of Adam is that yes, all of us are sinful. Adam was a sinner. Iblis was a sinner. But the sinner that will eventually be coming back into the mercy of Allah, the sinner that will eventually regain the Rahmah of Allah is the sinner who acknowledges his sin. The sinner who says, رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنفُسَانَ O our Lord, I committed the sin. We are sinful. And if you don't forgive me, O Allah, then there is no hope I will be destroyed. The sinner who then becomes arrogant, and that is the sin of Iblis, the sinner who says, it's not my fault, أَبَا وَاسْتَكْبَرَ He became arrogant. That sinner has no chance of repentance.


The essence of our religion is humbling oneself in front of Allah. Allah doesn't care how sinful a person is. Our father Adam was in Jannah. Our father Adam saw every single miracle with his own eyes. He experienced what the rest of us dream about. And he saw it with his eyes. Still, he committed a sin. In Jannah itself, he did something that Allah asked him not to do. And Allah, yes, he was sent down to this earth, but Allah forgave him. فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ Allah forgave him. If Allah can forgive our father, he's our father. It's our flesh and blood. We are his children. All of us are sinners like our father Adam. No sinner should ever feel that I am, it's hopeless. There's no point. Allah will never forgive me.


The sin of Adam. Can you imagine? Allah created Adam with his own hands. Allah breathed the Ru' into Adam. Allah gifted Adam his wife Hawwa. Allah said, you and your wife enter Jannah. Eat whatever you want. And he lived in Jannah for eons and eons, more than we can ever imagine how long he was there. And he still slipped. And that is no problem in Islam. If you repent to Allah, because our Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, all of the children of Adam make mistakes. All of them, like their father Adam did. We too will make mistakes. Let no one ever think that I am too sinful. No, we are the sons and daughters of the first man and the first woman who themselves were sinners and they repented and Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la forgave them.


In the story, in the Surah of Baqarah, we also have the story of Ibrahim as well and the building of the Kaaba. And that shows us, that not only the history of the Kaaba and of Makkah where the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was born and raised, but also that doing something magnificent or great means nothing if Allah does not accept it. Ibrahim built the most magnificent, the most blessed structure that humanity knows. Ibrahim built the first house of worship. There was no church. There was no synagogue. There was no mosque on this earth until Ibrahim built that first structure, the first house that was meant for the worship of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la. And billions of people will come, would come and do tawaf and worship Allah at that house.


Ibrahim did it. And then what did he say? Was he arrogant and strutting and prideful and say, look what I did? Or did he say, as Surah Al-Baqarah says, رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَالِيمُ No matter what you do, dear Muslim, never feel a sense of arrogance and entitlement. No matter what you do, thank Allah and then ask Allah for acceptance and ask Allah for forgiveness. We can never ever allow the sin of Iblis to come into us. The sin of Iblis was arrogance. We can never allow that. In the story of Ya’qub, we learn as well that what should be bothering us, what should be on our minds. Ya’qub is on his deathbed. He barely has a few minutes left and his children are all around him.


A beautiful picture is painted that Ya’qub is on his deathbed and all of his children are around him. And you know at this point in time, you know all of this world and all that is just secondary to you leaves. You want to leave your children with what is most important. You want to leave your children with the most important message possible. What was that message? Ya’qub says to his children, what are you going to worship after me? What will your religion be? What will your way of life be? That's what I'm concerned with. My legacy in you, dear children, it is what your religion and way of life is going to be. I'm not worried about your money, your careers. I'm not worried about anything else. That's all going to come and go.


We're all going to leave this world. What are you going to leave this world with, dear children? And the children said, 'We will worship your God and the God of your ancestors, Ibrahim and Ishaq.' And we will be upon the religion of Islam. And so Ya'qub died a happy man because he imparted his faith to his children. Dear parents, dear parents, of what use is all your wealth and privilege if you're not going to leave the most important and the most precious thing to you, and that is your faith, if you're not going to leave it with your children before you move on. So we learned this in the story of Ya'qub. In the story of David, Dawood, and his fight with Goliath or Jalut, we learned so much as well.


We learned that no matter how small your numbers, no matter how ill-prepared you are in terms of you don't have the logistics or whatnot, if you truly, truly have your faith in Allah and you do your best, we're not saying that you don't do your best. No, Dawood did his best with whatever he had. You know, Goliath of course had his armies. Goliath had his armor. And David, of course he just had a slingshot. That's all he had. He didn't have a sword because he was just a little kid. He didn't have the armor because his armies were different. What did he have? A slingshot. And so, how many are the people that are under-equipped, under-prepared, but they have Allah. And because they have Allah, they have victories.


And this shows us that no matter what our odds might be, if Allah chooses to help us, then doesn't matter who's on the other side. If Allah is on our side, we will be victorious. And that is what we learned from the story of Dawood and Jarood. From the story of Sulaiman as well is mentioned in Surah Al-Baqarah. And we learn here that his relationship with the blessings that Allah gave him and his relationship with the jinnas well. We already mentioned that the Baqarah teaches us that there are other species as well. And a very interesting point here that we learned in the story of Sulaiman is that you know, don't expect when you do something right that everybody is going to praise you. No.


Sulaiman being the prophet of God, he was slandered till his death and after his death. And false accusations were made against him. Even after he died, people said bad things about him. But you see, Sulaiman being that righteous servant of Allah, Allah defended Sulaiman in the Quran. If you have Allah, Allah will defend you. And Allah defended the reputation of Sulaiman. When Sulaiman could not speak anymore, he's in the grave, Allah defended Sulaiman in the Quran. وَمَا كَفَرَ سُلَيْمَانُ وَلَكِنَّ الشَّيْطِينَ كَفْرُوا So we learn here that those who are being harmed, those who are being slandered, those who are being oppressed, you need Allah. All of us need Allah. But especially those because if Allah is on your side, then Alhamdulillah, that is all that you need.


And of course, one of the main constant themes of this surah is the constant repetition of the stories of Musa and the children of Israel. It is one of the main motifs of this surah. And each one of these stories of Moses and the children of Israel, each one of these has so many lessons and wisdoms. We learn from the successes of the past. We learn from the mistakes of the past. Wise indeed is the one who learns from the mistakes of others. A lot of these stories talk about the mistakes of the previous generations. Islam, when this surah was revealed, Islam was not yet a global civilization. Within a hundred years of the revelation of Surah Al-Baqarah, Islam is knocking on the doors of China and Islam is conquering Andalus on the other side.


Islam has become a global force that shall be reckoned with for the next 14 centuries. So Allah is telling this Ummah that is going to rule the world, don't make the mistakes of those before you. Look at what mistakes they made. Look at their personal lives when they began questioning everything. What type of cow? Why do we need to sacrifice a cow? What does Allah want by sacrificing a cow? And Allah Azzawajal says, there was benefit in you by doing this; good came to you, but you kept on questioning and questioning. And arrogance as well, the sin of arrogance. When Allah (Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-'ala) said to them, 'Udkhulu al-baaba wa quru hittatun,' Just say that we repent to Allah, and instead of that, they mocked and they made fun of and that is something that brought about their destruction.


And so in every single story about Moses and about the children of Israel, we learn personal lessons. We learn lessons for the building of Islamic civilization. Also, this entire Surah, one of the primary themes of the Surah is to prove the truth of Islam and to mention the relationship of Islam to other faith traditions. Islam is not coming in a vain. No. You have Judaism, you have Christianity, you have the Sabians, you have the Pagans, you have all of these other civilizations. Each one is saying, we are the correct one. Surah Al-Baqarah tells us, Wa qalu kunu hudan aw nasara tahdadu They said, be a Christian or be a Jew, only then you will be rightly guided. And we are told in the Quran that no, Bal millata ibraheema haneefa Names mean nothing.


We are going to follow the characteristic. We're going to follow the methodology of Ibrahim. The one who turned to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. And by the way, one of the main benefits of Surah Al-Baqarah, interfaith dialogue. The techniques that Allah uses when dealing with other civilizations. How Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala addresses them. Look at so many different techniques. At times, Allah appeals to their rationality and wants them to think. At times, Allah reminds them of the past and their history. Oh children of Israel. Oh children of Israel. Oh children of Israel. Remember the favors bestowed upon you. Remember that I chose you. Remember when the mountain was above you. Remember when Moses did this and that. So Allah is addressing them with their own history.


Telling them something that frankly, an Arabian prophet, who might have been an imposter I'm saying, would never have known. Only an Arabian prophet inspired by the Lord of the children of Israel would know these stories. These are insider narratives. These are insider narratives that an Arabian prophet would never have been exposed to. Because it is something that is only found in the Jewish sources. Only the Jewish folks would know this. And the fact that the Quran is saying it in such an explicit manner and telling them of their own stories. It demonstrates this prophet is not a false prophet. This prophet is coming from the same source that your prophet Moses came with. This is insider information. This surah as well critiques this notion of superiority. This notion of us being better than everybody else.


Wa qalu lan yadkhula aljannata illa man kana hudhan aw nasara, Tilka amaniyuhum. They said, nobody can enter Jannah. Nobody shall enter the kingdom of heaven unless he be following our faith tradition. And Allah says, this is your wishful thinking. This is your desires. No., Tilka amaniyuhum. And then Allah lays down the foundation of Islamic intellectual thought. This is Quranic epistemology. Qul haatu burhanakum, bring your evidences if you are telling the truth. We are not a religion that is based upon whims, that is based upon superstitions, that is based upon desires. Not at all. We are a religion that is based upon proof from Allah. Qul haatu burhanakum, bring your evidence. How do you know who is going to enter heaven and hell? How do you know who is going to be in the chosen kingdom?


Qul haatu burhanakum, in kuntum sadiqeen. Bala man aslama wajahu lillahi wa hu muhsun. Whoever truly turns his face to Allah and he does good, that is the one who shall enter the kingdom of Allah. And names mean nothing. There has to be the ultimate devotion to Allah. A person can call himself Muslim but not act upon Islam. What use is calling yourself Muslim? So Allah is saying, don't praise yourselves. Don't say, you and only you will enter heaven. No. Did you take a covenant with Allah? Ittaqatim indallahi ahdan. Did you take a signed treaty with Allah that Allah will then honor it? Not at all. Do not speak about Allah without knowledge. In the Surah as well, and this is really one of the main points of the Surah, we see that the religion of Islam as a whole is established with every single aspect of Islam being emphasized in the Surah.


It's theology that dates to the very beginnings of time. It's detailed knowledge of history that no one would have known except the one who knows all of history. Its rituals, its laws, even its calendar is mentioned in the Surah Al-Baqarah. We are told that we look at the Ahilla or the crescent for our moon. We are told that Ramadan is one of the months we have a different calendar. The relationship of Islam with all other civilizations and faiths and all of this demonstrates, as I said, that this religion is not to pick and choose. We don't just say, oh I'll believe in God and ignore the rest. No. Surah Al-Baqarah is very explicit. That, oh you who believe, Udkhulu Fis Silmi Kaafa Wa La Tattabi'u Khutuwata Shaytaan; Submit yourselves wholeheartedly to Islam 100% and do not pick and choose and do not follow the ways of Shaytaan.


No. Surah Al-Baqarah tells us Islam is an entire holistic way of life, and in order to really be a Muslim, there must be an attempt. We're never going to be perfect. Adam's story teaches us we're never going to be perfect, but our attitude, our paradigm, our frame of mind; I'm going to submit as much as I can wholeheartedly, and if I make a mistake, I ask for Allah's forgiveness. And in all of this, we are proven over and over again. The Surah proves and explicitly mentions that this book, this book, dhalikal kitabu la rayba fee; it begins by stating this factual statement: Dhalikal kitābu lā raybī fī. This is a book. There is no doubt in it. This is a book that is telling you everything you need to know.


It is a guidance for all of mankind. It is a book from Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-'Ā'lā, and in Surah Al-Baqarah we learn that this Surah; it is so confident that this book is from its Lord. It is so confident that you will have no doubt that this Surah is divine and therefore the Quran is defined that there is a challenge in this Surah and if this challenge were to have been said by a mortal, by any created being, it would have been deemed as arrogance because the Quran says in kuntum fee shakkim mimma anzalna ala abdeena fa'atu bisuratin mimithlihi If you are in any doubt, if you are unsure whether the Quran is from Allah or not, if you are unsure if Surah Al-Baqarah is from Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la or not and this is the final verse by the way of a series of verses called the verses that are challenging people to produce something similar to it.


There are five such verses. The last of them to be revealed is in Surah Al-Baqarah and it is the final and it is the seal of challenges. Why? Because within this challenge, there is a boast, and if this boast had occurred from a created mortal, it would sound arrogant; but when this boast occurs from Al-Aziz Al-Mutakabbir, it is not arrogance, it is the ultimate truth. And what is that boast? Bring one challenge similar to Surah Al-Baqarah or even a smaller Surah. Bring one challenge similar to this with its eloquence, with its beauty, with all of these facets. Bring one challenge and call whoever you want. Get whatever help you want. Bring all of your teams and all of your linguists and all of your scientists, whoever you want.


Come and produce one challenge and don't get the help of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la. And then Allah says فَإِلَّمْ تَفْعَلُوا And if you cannot do it and then the seal that seals this challenge وَلَن تَفْعَلُوا And you shall never be able to do it. Can you imagine if any human says writes a book or builds something and says no one will ever do something better than this. All of us would say even if the project was good we would say what an arrogant person. But you see the Quran says it and it gets away with it. Why? Because it is not the speech of a human. It is not the speech of a bashar. It is the speech of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la. It is the speech of Al-Aziz Al-Mutakabbir.


And Allah Azawajal is not Allah's boast is not a boast that is arrogant for us. It is a boast of truth. And Allah is saying how can you doubt that this book is from other than Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la? How can you doubt it is from other than Allah? How can you have these things? It is clearly from Allah. ذَٰلِكَ الْكُتَابُ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ And this book, it is so evident from Allah that I'm even opening this challenge and I'm predicting and I'm sealing the fate that you shall never ever be able to bring something similar to the Qur'an. And that is why Surah Al-Baqarah is really the response to Surah Al-Fatihah when we say إِهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمُ Guide us to the straight path.


That is why the entire Qur'an then begins with Baqarah because Baqarah summarizes for us the straight path of Islam. And that is why our Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam in one hadith he says everything it has a crown. It has a pinnacle. Everything it has the Kerem Dala Kerem it has that essence or that crown and the crown of the Qur'an or the pinnacle of the Qur'an it is Surah Al-Baqarah. May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala make us of those who recite the Surah, who memorize the Surah, who act upon the Surah. And one final point, dear viewers, is that InshaAllah throughout these 30 days, InshaAllah we'll be doing it at the same time frame. And I ask that if you can write down any points that you benefit or anything and you can put them on social media so that we can InshaAllah benefit each other.


You can put the hashtag #YQGEMS #Y Q G E M S, if you can put that, so that InshaAllah then I will retweet or some of my people on my social media they will retweet as well, so that we can InshaAllah make other people benefit. If there is anything that you like, just write it down and then help other people, as our Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam said, the one who benefits other people will get the reward of the benefits that They have done without diminishing their own personal rewards, so let's benefit others. Let's get the reward of this month of Ramadan and please, please, please remind myself and all of you: don't just restrict yourself to this lecture; nothing substitutes the original.


Read the Arabic, and then try to read some translations, so that Insha'Allah, by the time this month is over, we have read the Quran at least once, if not more; then we have read at least one or two translations of it. Jazakum Allah Khair. I'll see you tomorrow night Insha'Allah Taala. Wassalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh Al Fatiha. The month of Ramadan is which the Qur'an was revealed as a guidance for the people and clear evidence of guidance and the Qur'an So whoever of you has witnessed the month let him fast and whoever of you has not So whoever of you has not   options may decrease چلو اقوم وانبعغ Crispah كيما كيما كيما كيما كيما كيم كيما وإنرا فأبن كيما كيما فایبا وآبا فاااا اللرع go before which إلى وفي where and ارا.

About A S Monaco

PROPHET IBRAHIM

.Blessings of the Guest In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate, and the Merciful-hearted. Allow me to first create a new conclusion. Thank you very much, Lord, our Nahali. In your Greatness, your Beauty, in the goodness of your love and accepting the blessings we receive from you. And at the same time, those not desiring of the Nahali and to give us the greatest and the greatest joy and happiness ever. Today we have to talk about a character, a great figure, a great giant of the Holy Prophet, about the Prophet Ibrahim, peace and great joy, God bless him. When we say we will talk about Ibrahim Ali, in fact, within this great prophet, we have to understand that a big human being is no different than others.


When we are talking about the story of Basht, we talk about theемсяuipaa, wherein we discuss the story of Ibrahim, in which we the Muslims. When we discuss the history of Ibrahim, we think of his Kairolic spiritual path and also in connection with the fellow Muslims. When we discuss the history of Ibrahim, we comment on how of how a Muslim and a Muslim should feel about the violation of the Islamic law. Starting from its normality, from its global nature, starting from its family, gradually, according to the possibilities it has. When we talk about the prophet Ibrahim, we will see a person full of devotion, for the protection of the great God. But, let's be clear, in Ibrahim, peace and blessings of God, we will see a good person, a good person, a person who has always been kind to people, who has always been kind to them, who has always been a good person.


Talking about the prophet Ibrahim, peace and blessings of God, we will see in him a good person, we will see him talking to his father, he will be talking to his father, he will be sharing the great thoughts of the Islamic community with the rest of the world. We will see that devotee who has always been a good person, we will see him in the great prophetic church; He will be doing great things. We will see, that the greatest measure of the peace and blessings of Islam have passed through him, because he was the main creator, he was the father of the prophets. He is the prophet who came after him, when he was raised from between Žmrija and Dubija, Hábku and Ismail.


He was the great God of prosperity, the great rights burden he was carrying out would be something surprising; In the Qur'an of the Prophet Ibrahim, it is mentioned that in this book, in the Qur'an of the Prophet Ibrahim, he had a big title. In the Quran of the Prophet Ibrahim, it is mentioned that in this book, in the Quran of the Prophet Ibrahim, he had a big title. We must be honest. We must be one, like everyone else. There is no need for another person with two masks, with five masks, with ten masks, with ten hats. Muslims and Muslims are honest people. The Prophet Ibrahim was on a higher level. The prophets of the Lord, especially those who were older than him, according to the Quran, their sincerity was very high.


Their desire to be on the path of the greatest saint was extraordinary. But we, modestly, we have to be honest. Anyone, based on the sincerity he has, will receive great rewards. When the Book of Ibrahim begins, he will be in the holy place of the Prophet Ibrahim. Remember, in this Qur'an of the Prophet Ibrahim, he was honest, and he was a prophet. So, his great sincerity, the Lord gave him that title, he was a prophet. As well as other prophets, as well as other prophets think about sincerity. The only thing with the Prophet Ibrahim was that the faith. . Because when Ibrahim was a prophet, he had been little, when Ibrahim was in the most umbilical place he was very strict with his integrity. He protected his Ula when he was a boy.


Hate when he was just a The passage of Nuh says that we have spoken in the previous topic, the prophet of the mountain Nuh, that his passage was Ibrahim, when he preceded the Lord with a mighty sword. We have said and mentioned that the sword must be sincere, the sword must be armed with courage. The sword of a true Muslim is armed with peace. There is no one who wants to leave the wall and the wall. There is no part of a sword of a Muslim. And the prophet of Ibrahim says that he preceded the Lord with a mighty sword and with a holy sword. And this must be respected by every Muslim and every Muslim, and for the sake of the Lord, after the Lord's mercy.


The best time, and I have also mentioned these laws or these conversations, the direction we make on Facebook, and that we post it also on YouTube, I hope that these are a part, a part of our holy service, because by praying for the Lord's mercy, and by taking from the pearls of prophetic life, the sword and the sword are worshipped, the mind is corrected, the vision is made wider, clearer, more beautiful, and people do not become from the vices that destroy us, and make us a burden to make people good, to offer to the great Lord, whom we thank. Ibrahim alayhi salam precedes the great Lord with the revelation of the glory of Islam. People, based on their own mission, based on their own actions, as they should, must do the same for the sake of others.


For the sake of the great Lord, the power and power of the Lord, are 선생ed as the fierce destined winds, as the greatсти of the ends. Where it leads us, is what the Almighty Been said, And Ibrahim said in the movement and the law in this book, which was very sincere andicho ahed by the Prophet, His goodness to the Father , When the father corrected little son, So Prophet Ibrahim did not start prayer with the people, rather he constitute three becomes his family. Go out directly to your mother's, Jimmy swear words, If , those who were refuse to do things in that time. Islam must be heard and recognized in the memory of every Muslim, and every Muslim.


Even if you don't have a family yet, in Islam, remember that as a prophet, you have to teach your family, remember that as an educator in Islam, you have to teach them, teach them in a big way, with sincerity, with sincerity that the great God, the people who have this quality, will truly give them success. Why did this family start? Because your father was not only a believer, not only was he a person who worshiped another god, worshiped another god for the sake of God, but he had a specific, he worshiped himself as a god. And he worshiped himself as a god, and at the same time he saw himself as a god, and he went to other people in Geneva to worship him, and he worshiped himself as a god.


And in the most beautiful form, in the most beautiful way, as I have told you, as a child of a priest, he said, I worship my father. And the form as it is shown in the Qur'an, that he spoke, he spoke in a more beautiful form, and in a form for the sake of the priest. Because people have a nature. Anything that they want a lot, they plan from a person their speech, and not logically, only from the knowledge that they have. But at the same time, Moseharo, anything that people want, as you said, even the most beautiful form, as you said, in all forms of worship, even if they worship it, they don't accept it.


Therefore, don't ever create a barrier between your medicine and your family, because you explain Islam in all dimensions, religious, scientific, psychological, sociological, life, historical, moral, ethical, you don't accept it, because worship makes a barrier, a mountain, a hill, and so on. If you are a person of knowledge, if you see, if you know what it says, it says my father, I said to my mother, why do you worship him? Because he was the leader, he was the head of his family, because they were the most religious. He said, 'Why do you worship him who had an opinion about the first thing? Don't talk about it, the second thing don't think about it, and the third thing don't see it.' Is it possible for a person to worship someone who doesn't think or speak and don't see it?


That which is associated with these dimensions is less than that of a person himself. And a person is taller than something that does not think, does not logic, does not act, does not exist. But the problem is that those who make these kinds of associations must gradually become aware of it, or like today's people who have gone to the Lord for peace, or have gone to the Lord for passion and for the good of the world, or for other things that have no value at all. In this first dimension, what I want to say is that gradually a person will come out of what he believes and believes, or from the passion and the effort he has made as a Lord in his spirit, to come out of this universal belief, this belief of believing in the truth.


My father said, why do you believe in what you do not think? Why do you believe in what you do not see? Why do you believe in what you do not do? Neither good nor bad. There is no life and there is no death, there is no risk and there is no stability in this world, and there is no stability in the whole world. Neither the genetics nor the genes, nor the spirit, when you take a person, so he is a good Lord. He said, because now there is another report that the Prophet always says, do this to me. And Ibrahim, peace be upon him, as he knows this, said, my father, the truth is that I have received information that you have not known about.


Stay on this path, because you will be saved and you will be saved. I am the one who has been given the right to worship the Lord. I am the one who worships God. I am the one who is given the right to live in peace and peace. He said, 'Oh my Father, do not go the way of the cursed Satan, because Satan himself is a luxurious way and has offended the Lord Himself. And by going that way He is offended and He is fighting the Lord of all, and Satan has taken the punishment. This is why my father is afraid that he is going to take this punishment. He said, 'I don't want to worship the devil, but with a lot of light, a lot of light,


with a lot of crystallization' my father said, 'do not follow Satan, because He has overcome Rahab, all of His enemies.' Basically, he is in good terms with you, by knowing when to overcome the great Lord, by overcoming the great Lord, and by going on the path of Shaitan Malkum, as he will be forgiven, he will also be forgiven. And I am afraid that the great Lord will give you a punishment, and one of the punishments, I will tell you, I looked at the memory of Ibrahim, one of the memories that he explained, he said, by forgiving the great Lord, he has a great punishment, that is to remove your mourning from you, and remove your forgiveness from you, and to remove your grace from you, and to remove your kindness from you, and to be forgiven by Shaitan Malkum, who is a friend to a Grandma, and he has totally forgiven you.


This is the great thing that many people experience today. The Great Lord, I pray that You will not look at Your forgiveness, that I will not look at Your mourning, that I will not look at Your grace, that I will not stop to see Your kindness, I will remove Your great loss, and become a part of the cursed Satan. He said, oh my father, I am afraid that You will leave me, my Great Father, You will leave me, my Great Father, and You will become a part of the cursed Satan. My Father, despite the fact that Ibrahim left a few times in the beginning, due to the fact that he heard, but he resisted, until a few times the problem came and he resisted in a very serious way.


From then on, people started to talk about it, which is not a matter of faith, who has come to tell us who is the truth, who has come to tell us about a Lord who says, He is the Lord of the earth and of the earth; we have our Lord, and we begin to tell our father about the death of Ibrahim. And until one day he came home, and he saw Ibrahim who was about to speak, he said, I have come to tell you about the death of Ibrahim, and I will leave you for a long time. I said, I hope you will continue to serve our Lord. Our Lord, what do we know, those who were there, I said.


I hope you will leave our Lord, and in the same time, he said to us, 'We do not believe you.' I will leave you far away from the family, and I will kill you. And Ibrahim, peace be upon him, I felt sorry for him, and with desire, he continued to tell his father. At the same time, based on what he had done to his family, he began to speak to the people, until he spoke to the priests of that country, always with the good desire that the people would know, and the people would go on the great path of the Lord, to enjoy the goodness of this world, and to enjoy the goodness of the other world.


His father, not that he did not accept, he took that mentality for all the people at that time, and Subhanallah, al-Azim, he was a great leader for him, that his son was the beloved of the Lord, the Prophet Ibrahim, and he, in order to take revenge, that his son, the Lord, had this great power, he made him one of the strongest in the world. He called the Lord the Lord of Truth, he challenged the ideal, he made him pressure, and he said to him, I will leave you, and I will promise that you will continue to leave our Lord, as you believe in our Lord, and continue to do good to the people, as you have spoken to a Lord yourself. And he said, God and mother, I beg you, my great Lord, to come to the church.


Ibrahim, peace be upon him, will come out as a great giant. The Lord said, 'O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, this great prophet has not yet passed away.' The Qur'an says, 'O Ibrahim, the leader of Wafaa, and Ibrahim, who has not yet fulfilled his duty to the Great Lord, or more precisely, Ibrahim also says that he always keeps his promises, he always sees their duties, and he is moved by those who have moved the Great Lord to the maximum in him. On the day of judgment, he will lift this crown of the Lord, and the people, as it is transmitted in the true transmission, he said, on the day of judgment, the people will come out of the grave, they will come out of the grave.


So, you can be a billionaire in this world, and you will come out of the grave. Who will come out of the grave? The great Lord said, they will come out of the grave. When the followers of our prophet, Dashwar, heard that the prophet said, they will come out of the grave, he said, I cannot approach detestable people anymore, now everyone has come to hell, but whatever happens to everyone, there will be water shortage and wrong seedlings and pimples. The prophet saw him in the dust, and said, choose the right one, Bačević, ask the prophet and it will soothe you further, choose the right one. The level of the problem on the day of judgment on the big day, and look at billions and billions of angels on seven sides of the angels like moths that are covered and do not speak and are alive among the Lord of all, and He has made this land like that.


There is no time, and He has not looked at the mind, and it does not work physiologically. Look at the females; they are pregnant or not pregnant. And that is the truth; it is very important on the day, and the moths will not look at the females, and the females will not look at the moths. And the first, the great Lord Fushiplot, as it is transmitted, the transmission of truth through respect and through patience and through value, of billions of people says, 'Offer me, offer my prophet Ibrahim.' And the first prophet says that he will come with a robe from the Genesis and he will come in a way that is different from the usual and beautiful. And he will come with a robe from the Genesis and he will come in a way that is different from the usual and beautiful.


With a very great adornment, for the prophet Ibrahim to be. Prophet Muhammad said, 'I am the second one who lives, and the great Lord positions me in the outer arc where the whole world will call me Zilin.' When the whole world says to me in every moment of each, see how much the Prophet Ibrahim shall expand, or how much the Prophet Muhammad is still. That's why, O son, beg of the great Lord and live Ibrahim of the Holy Prophet to be known outside of the day of judgment. And it is clear that on that great day, everyone will be a witness to the great mystery of the whole world. And it is clear that the Prophet Abraham met his father.


Because here we are, that he began to teach the family and he gave them the key to explain Islam, to explain the mystery of the great things and the land, but in the best form, in the best form, and with arguments that do not coincide in their understanding. He met him and said to his father, he said a sentence, my father said to me, I would like to tell you something. The Qur'an describes the Prophet Abraham as a man of wisdom and wisdom. How were the prophets? As it is said about our Prophet Muhammad bin Mu'minin al-Rauf al-Rahim, he said to the believers, that is, a man was wise and he saw the Prophet Muhammad, this was the Prophet Abraham. Very wise, very wise. They were prophets of wisdom.


The prophets of the Lord as a father with children, with the people, imagine, with the family. And the day of judgment, but today is a day, from the perspective of knowledge, as it has been in the world, it will be on that day. The one who has been sincere, the child is sincere. The one who has been a believer, the child is a believer. The one who has been a believer, the child is a believer. The one who has been a good person, the one who has been a good person, how can you have such a great spirit, such a great spirit, Lord Christ? Why do you have such a great spirit on that day? And Jan 더 sava' her It was so vain that he said to my father at the day of judgment, and I go in by myself to tell the prophet as anopes this.


The prophet Abraham looks at the chapter and corrects the whole great twist of the cleansing of Allah. And says to Allah, O tales, I want to tell you something very important, You who have everything in your life, the most beautiful thing you can do, I say, the most beautiful thing you can do, is to let your soul rest in the presence of Allah. Ask yourself what is the Day of Judgment, then ask yourself what is the Day of Judgment. The Day of Judgment is when no one has done anything wrong to anyone and they have nothing to do with each other. All the suffering is for the sake of Allah. And Ibrahim Alisalame knows that in this world, imagine that he is a real leader, straight to the right in the Day of Judgment.


He said, O great Lord, you told me two things, when I asked you not to disappoint me on the day I would come before you, I said, Father, I am looking forward to the Great Lord today. I do not want to be like everyone else, as I say, for the sake of justice, straight to the right, without equivocation, without any kind of penalty, without any kind of punishment. I am a Haram to the people of Al-Kafirin. Ibrahim said, I have set the universal rule, I do not want to fight against anyone who has been a believer. What did your father say? Therefore, young and old, especially those who want to be a leader, must work very hard to make it possible for them to be believers in the Great Lord of all.


The minimum. The maximum is to make it possible for them to do something out of devotion to the great Lord of all. Someone sent me a message; he said, 'I had a mother; I was born three years ago,' and I looked under her, and he said, 'I was raised in the world,' and with all my heart I was telling him as if I had given a good example. But not like now. But I had told him to raise a big flag that I went to Panama. I said, 'Vlad, dear, I have raised a big flag in the world that I am in Panama.' And I told him, the person who always speaks, I told him, but from a different point of view; thank you very much for everything you have done for me.


I will never forget it. Belat Mordek is the one who did it. So I will never forget it. I will talk to him about the belief, don't make me believe that it is racist, or that we have come from Kaffsha, or something like that, I will never forget it. And the code that people say today, whether it is made as a trend, I am an atheist, or I am a believer, the code, without understanding it, I have never analyzed it, but I know that it is creating a trend. Because many people, apart from others, are believers. And based on that, the first winner, whether it is Shaytan or Malcolm, or the prince, or Vlahi, or Mothra, or any of our brothers and sisters, becomes a believer; then you, with a great education, with a great tact, but first of all, if you talk about them, you have realized that a good Islam itself


makes them proud, and tells them to make a promise, to thank them, to thank them, and to make some promises, and to remind them of the great God, and to bring some good news, that they will have the greatest testimony when they go before the great God of all. And we hope that with these promises, and with these laws, and with these conversations, brought up in Ramadan, we can tell them to come to a testimony of the great God, to come to a testimony of a great, good, humble, and beautiful God, and we will not be deceived in the day of judgment. Because we will receive the Lord's blessing, and we will accept him as a good prophet, And this is what we are going to see as a sad, sad and good thing that God Almighty and we have in front of us as a good example, as a reminder to fulfill the needs of the people.


Ibrahim, peace be upon him, this was the relationship with the family and especially with God Almighty and his Father. Then what happened? He went to those cults back then and saw that people worshiped these idols, but not like these stupids that the father made himself, but they were big. He was a leader there, and then he came from his mother and came a lot from his father. And he spoke to the people; he spoke to them. They did not see him; they went, they looked at him; they did not see him; they did not look at him; they did not think of him; they did not kiss him; they did not kiss him. He came. He left. They did not see him. His father was in a bad mood and he said that he would go too.


There was a party going on there. And he would go with us. We would go out of the city. And we would worship our Lord. We would pray; we would do all the things that they had. And Ibrahim was in a bad mood. He was very sad because he was about to die and he had to show his body. He was still young. And on that day he said to me, 'I am sad.' He said, 'Father, today I am very sad.' Because my father told me to look. And he said, 'I am sad.' And he turned away. All the people went out of that city to make their traditional party. When the prophet thought that Ibrahim had another vision. He had a plan. A positive plan.


He went to the place of worship that they had. And he started to take a holy offering. And all those poor people who were waiting for him to come back. And he made them cry. He was waiting for them to come back. And he took them all. But with great difficulty, what did he do? He killed that big one. He didn't come back. He left them. He continued and went to his house. When the people came back. And the father came back to his house. And they came back to their houses. Especially the first ones who were in the cult. They all came back to their houses. The prophet Ibrahim, the father of the whole house. When they went to that cult. Those who cared for him. They were watching a big drama.


But it was a big drama. All of their brothers were angry. They were angry. Especially the big ones. The people who cared for him. The first of this cult. The people who had information. The people who took their thoughts. What happened? Who did what? How did it happen? And someone said, the only thing that can be done. It is the ideal of the kingdom that Ibrahim wants. He didn't want to do it all the time. He always told us, don't go to visit him. Because those are not masters. They are really bad. And he has to do it. He said, get out of here urgently. And he threw the knife in the middle of all the people who were angry. Because they took only the people who were called masters.


And they threw one after the other. And made a big crowd. Ibrahim Ali Selam knows this. When they came in their midst. They told him, oh Ibrahim, you did this to our masters. Because we received information from your father. That when we came out of the city, you were the one who was in the house, and you were the one who came out and said it. Ibrahim Ali Selam, His own plan, to tell them, from the people who believed. What did he do? He had said it all. And he said, 'I'm telling you the biggest thing.' He said, 'I don't understand anything about you.' He said, 'Ibrahim is your people.' Those who were present. And the first of the cult. He said, 'I look at the great masters.' He said, 'He said.' Those who believed in you.


He said, 'You are not worth my faith.' But I asked him, 'Did I tell him or not?' Because the Lord is the one who believes in you. First of all, the Lord will tell you. And secondly, He will tell you. Who told Him. What do you think is the Lord? Ask. What do you think is the Lord? He must tell you. What do you think is the Lord? Why do you believe in Him? What do you think He is the Lord? And He doesn't believe in Him. His colleagues, that you give to Him. What kind of things does He do? Why is He doing it? Why is He doing such a thing? We will see. What I believe that is the Lord. And those who support you, those who support you, they don't care about you anymore.


They care about you, who believe in all these things. It was a perfect plan. Illogical. And Vlada Modr, may he rest in peace, from what we hear today, is that our believers are like people who have studied. Today, Muslims and Muslims are like people who are strange. Look, a Muslim says, 'What is a strange person? No logic, no understanding, no study, no education, no mentality, no vision, no morality.' I don't know, from what I heard today, some of them are very good, but some of them are strange. They don't have a plan, they don't have a vision, they don't have a mentality. They don’t know how to explain a word to a Muslim, they don’t know how to speak to a Muslim, they don’t know how to speak to a prophet, they don’t know their form, they don’t know the plans they made for the good of humanity, to give them understanding.


I want to have a big God, because if I don’t believe in other gods, I don’t have a God. Because if there is a God, ask someone who is a thief and I will protect the work, I will punish those who are thieves. And they will be saved. I ask those who are good and I say, we; after we were poor, after we were poor, after we were poor, after we were poor, because if this was God, this great God, who is always a thief, I don’t want to forgive those who are thieves. I don’t want to forgive those who are good, but those who were good, those who are good until today, they are their own.


How can I forgive God that we are a thief, that a person who is a thief is a thief and a person who is a thief is a thief? Why could those Behasians be as ambitious as us? But these people, they would start at first, well get rich, and then they would become authorities and they would become Ministry officials. I tell you this when you hear it. But you know that you can’t commit like this. This person has a sense of freedom, that during this year 


he has been given the election we clay sending out the blood that he has seized until today, we already have all the privileges and it is not possible to break the law. This is a very big crime that has been committed against our Lord.


If we believe that this is our job, who is going to break it this year? In the beginning, they were honest and said that they were right, because we, after a long time, did not have any value, as a form of understanding. The Lord whom we allow to break the law is not our Lord. But the wicked ones, the profiteers, the abusers, as they sometimes think, whether they were true or not, they were profiteers. And the destruction of this work is always done by those who are profiteers. Those who have profiteers and have sent the spirit of Satan to the world, they are the ones who destroy this world. And, in agreement with the authority and authority that they had,


speaking to their leader, they said, 'we, these young people, have to accept a crime that has never happened before.' That we, after this example, do not go to the mind of a man, not to mock him or to blame him, but not to speak a single word about it, because it seems to me that we are very tolerant. We destroy this thing, we execute it, we remove the crime from this place, we make an example before the people, and that's the end of the story. We have to build it back, and people have to continue to build it back. And, after consulting, they decided that the punishment of the Prophet Ibrahim was to put him in prison, but not a normal prison, but a very large prison.


And when they made the plan to make him in a very large prison, the problem was how to get him out of prison. When he was released, he was released from prison and they said, 'We are going to put him in a catapult.' We are going to arrest him, and we are going to arrest him. For this arrest that he is doing, God Almighty is going to arrest him on the first day of the trial. And the prophet Ibrahim is coming, the day of execution, he is going to put him in a catapult, and he is going to arrest him. Imagine, he was the same God, the God who took care of him. He is the same in Leviticus, he is the same in all the phenomena, he is the same in the mountains, in the hills, in the fields, that God has set laws for the mountains, for the hills, for the hills, but there are also those who took care of him, plus for the first phenomena of the whole universe.


He who takes with him in the fields, and of course the Garden of life, and the garden of the bigger God, so that they can see either He said, I need it, not for you, but for the Lord, yes, I support him, I have done all the work for him. I protect him and take care of him; I only ask for him. And all of this was not possible until now. And the people, as the prophet Abraham offered the infinite brotherhood, from the church that is being executed, the new one, the one that is being built, to say the word, to accept the concept, to renovate the church, and to understand that the Lord God is great; only He who creates the earth and the earth creates man, not the one who creates everything.


The prophet Abraham wants to tell you that you are the greatest creation of the earth, created by the brothers and sisters of yours in a regular way, as an argument from the church of the church. Get out of yourselves and have all the powers to be there on earth in a better, more beautiful, more precise form, and have the earth as a door for a new one. He has created all the great powers of the Lord. Live with this Lord, live with the faith that He has, and you will find your salvation in this world and in the world to come. He says, no, we will save you. And as long as you are offered to be saved, you must be saved, and as long as you love the Lord, you must be saved.


This is where we find ourselves, as the greatest of all, Allah, the Most High, the Most Glorious. The Qur'an says, 'Who are we?' We are the powerful and free people addressed to Abraham and Herod, and those who were entered under Herod approach those who are not aware to Abraham and Herod. And they saw that it is the hour of judgment. I said to the great Lord, and I said to him, 'Zjari', make peace for your prophet Ibrahim. First he made peace, then he did not make peace, but we made peace that he made peace; he did not harm you, not even for a second he did not make peace in the previous Zjari. The Zjari freshens, and the freshness does not make you, not even for a second, but you made peace, and he did not harm you either.


Then the great Lord said to him, and he said to the great Lord, 'Every step you take after you have the step that will be a cross, but even when you cross, the great Lord will cross you and heal you. No matter how long it takes, a day will come and change your life; you do not care about every step you take, every problem you have, every problem you have, every weakness you have, everything you can do - do not care about it because the great Lord has the power to do it. He will direct you, do it sincerely. Here is the great Lord; live with Him as much as you can, He will give you His guidance, and you will find the way, which is easier for you than for us, with children.' This was the great prophet, Ibrahim.


Do not forget, dear brothers and sisters, to remember the great Lord that people have plans, but at the end of the day, what happens is what has been planned, and what the great leader of the whole world desires. And we say that he was born in Zjari, and the leader of the whole world explains to us in the Qur'an and says, 'Ya naru kuni berdan wa selaman ala Ibrahim, wa eradu bihi kejdan fej'alna humun akhsarin.' And we say to him, Zjari, do this and do that for Ibrahim, they should be intrigued and do it for us, and we do that for them. And Ibrahim, peace be upon him, is struggling with these great trials, and we say that we start with the death of your father and the death of your father-in-law, then the death of the people and the great part of them, they do not care, then he goes, and the death of himself, in the middle of that time, in the grave.


In the grave, he wishes to challenge the prophet Ibrahim, to challenge him in a logical debate, to challenge him with the power that he had, with the legacy that he had, and by challenging himself, this dictator, this dictator at that time, he challenges himself to God, because the people had betrayed him, and the people had destroyed him, and he thought that he was at the level that he could reach until the people would see him as God. And when he meets Ibrahim, peace and blessings of Allah, we all saw this great prophet, who preceded Allah with mercy, to bless and to follow, as it is written in the Quran, the Prophet of Allah, Allah says in the Quran, O Ibrahim, the light of the world, and the Prophet Ibrahim, who always leads the way towards Allah, the Greatest, the One who, when the Prophet says to him,


in his miracle, in the seventh heaven, that is, the great Prophet Ibrahim, who is mentioned many times in the Quran, every Muslim, every Muslim, must have a great gift, to know his story, must have a great gift, to be from his descendants, must have a great gift, to be in contact with him. And in return, he says, who is Allah, O Ibrahim? So this Allah, who lives in this world, who is this? And the Prophet Ibrahim gives a clear argument, he says, he gives life and he gives death. So the understanding that the Prophet Ibrahim had to explain was that Allah is the One who gave us life, that we are existent, Allah is the One who gave us death and we go to the other world.


He gave such a logical argument, that is clear, that is understandable, but at the same time, the power of God, to protect the great God, that is essential, because I believe that the great God would not have desired it. So, that we live together in this world, God was good, everyone of us has a day when he came to this world, who has been before him? He has not existed. The great God desires with the divine order that everyone of us who are in this world today has been the desire of the Creator that we are and we live. And the prophet Ibrahim gave this clear argument, which is essentially logical, for all. He said, he who gives life and he who gives death.


So, the one who gave life and the one who gave death, the one who gave death when he desires, so he has all our life to give. Because the beginning is life and the end is death. In the end, he was a dictator and a tyrant of a very high level and he could not accept arguments, because with all people he was in a different way, some he was beaten with a sword, some with the power of power and he did not accept, he did not accept a person who would tell him to accept the wrong arguments, understandable and tell him to go and enjoy it, and to pass away. And by the end when the Lord


will be given an ending, and on top of this, a certain time, when God will begin to act in the bones of the flesh, there is the last day at which is the day the final day, the day in which the Judgment of the Resurrection takes place, and after that the daily holy fall of the whole earth would be rested upon the day and the day followed by the clubs. He said to another one, he had taken off his clothes and let him live, he said, this is life. The first thing that the commentators of the Quran, but also the logic of it, is understandable is that the prophet Abraham did not have the word 'a single person' or a single person.


This was the most difficult understanding that the visionary message that the type of prophet Abraham wanted to understand. His idea that the great prophet Abraham, peace be upon him, was to give life in a mysterious way, that a person from non-existence comes into existence. Every person, as when you have only a little logic, only a little culture, and you think that as a person is created on the 9th of September, the 9th month, in a mysterious way, stage after stage, phase after phase, from a point after 9 months, the Lord of the Universe has created a person in this world, and when he comes in the life of this world, everything is created by him as a person. And we make the earth as a body for a person.


So the body is what makes the small child to be as safe as possible. The earth is all a body for a person to be safe in the earth. And this was the understanding of the one who is the body. And the understanding is that the visionary was not saying that he needs a person or not. The idea is that he wants to kill someone else, he wants to kill someone else, he wants to kill someone else, because whoever is the last to die is the visionary, and he wants to go to another world. The visionary does not understand the human aspect, who is not the founder of the universe, he is the Lord of the Universe.


When the dictator, Nemrut, gave this argument, Ibrahim Ali directly asked me for the small level of logic and understanding, because, as we mentioned once, what we lack today as Muslims is justice, what we lack today as Muslims and Muslims is honesty, what we lack today as Muslims and Muslims is vision, is understanding, is the plan that a man has to have for the other and for the world, on earth and on the other. Whenever Ibrahim, Isaac, Jacob, and El-Edi, or Lapsar, spoke to me, I said to them, how did you, the Lord of all Prophets, remember this Qur'an? Said Ibrahim, Isaac, and Jacob. They were the people of great vision, and they were the people of great faith. We saw them with a special, special virtue.


Who was the special quality that they had for remembering the other world? That is to say, when the great prophet, the prophet of all Prophets, described him as a visionary, that he had a clear plan to live in this world, a clear plan to conquer the other world, to go to heaven. So their vision was not only this world, it was also the other world. Their plan was to do good deeds, to fulfill the commandment of the great Lord, to connect with the great prophet, to do his duty, his mission, to walk the right path, to walk the right path, to walk the right path, to serve the great prophet, and so today, the great prophet comes to see that Muslims have no vision, or that God has given them logic everywhere, they have not used that for vision, or they are not aware, or not on the level they are asked.


So, in this dimension, the prophet Ibrahim is strange. What does this person say? In fact, in the end, he has power, he must have a certain culture. Or if we say that the one who created 7 billion people and the billions that have passed and the billions that will come will not be able to earn that much, except for all the other giants with billions that exist, but only the one who wants to legislate right, starts to think about it, meditates on it and says that the current 7 billion people who live on earth do not have the opportunity to earn that much. And there is no possibility that after a relatively long time, these 7 billion will be lost.


So life and death is a big phenomenon for those who want to understand, for those who want the Lord of all to believe. And the prophet Abraham was surprised and moved away from this argument, because no one can ever enter into a dialogue with an argument and then go there and continue, unless a person who has a problem does not understand an argument in relation to the great Lord. Give me another argument. What argument? The prophet Abraham said. The prophet Abraham gave an argument that has nothing to do with you. So he gave an argument, because the first one had the opportunity to kill a man and said, give me the sword and the other one the sword and said, give me life.


The prophet Abraham, with the great wisdom that he had given to the great leader of all, had to give an argument that had nothing to do with you. I don't know what was in front of him. It was a shocking argument, it was a challenging argument. And the prophet Abraham said, the Lord of all, when he wrote a letter to him, he said, Get out of here, Ibrahim. I swear to God, I will kill you. You see, if you don't press this live, if you don't write, I swear to God, I have to noise the grave. When he wrote this, he didn't speak clearly. He spoke clearly of himself, but he said, 'Ramallah, no way in God's power shall ever agree not upon you.' Thank you. I know.


When he took the scroll of lamp letters, he said, 'Try to come to peace with the crow and read this.' He said it in the holy, holy word. Now, please, no more slips that you are a lord like him, and do what you do to me, and that you should challenge me, that I am strong and strong, that you give me the power to speak, and that you make me strong, and that you make me strong, and that you make me strong, and that you make me strong. Right! And the Lord of all explains and says, The son of Ledhi, the kinsman, said, He was deceived by the argument of the last one. When the prophet told him that he was thinking, he said, It is good that the man was wrong, and he tried to give a challenge to this young man, Ibrahim.


How do you deal with the devil? All who challenge the devil. What is the devil? The devil is in the middle of the day, and he does not have time to look at you. He can't look at you for a long time. He wants you. But imagine what a fool I am, because I think that I am the one who will leave the devil, and I will make him go away from me, and I will make him go away from me, as if it were a fact, that people believe in the great Lord; he goes away every day in a strange way, and he goes away in a strange way. One of the most beautiful things is, when he looks at the devil, and he goes away, and people are disgusted.


He was deceived by an uncontestable argument, that the son of Ledhi, the kinsman, was deceived; he was deceived, he was challenged, by the one who says he is deceived, because the devil is the Lord, the devil is the Lord of all the arguments of the universe. How long have you been deceiving the Lord of the whole universe, with arguments? How long have you been saying, no, but what is the Lord, the universe goes away, and the universe is very big. Therefore, the fact that the Lord believes is a great reward for this work, because you have to, with billions, with billions, create bigger, extraordinary, and then you have to give explanation, because who created it? The power of one, of two, of ten, of twenty, of one million, of two million, but the power cannot continue without work.


The son of Ledhi, the kinsman, says, he who wants to be deceived by Allah, let him go away from the people, he says, the Lord has not deceived a person, who has taken the path with the conscience of the devil, of the father. Now, the dictator in the middle does not understand, no, no, but he likes the devil; there are a lot of people who understand, that the right path is to go, the path of the Lord is to go, like Len Zedumi, the passion of architecture continues here; the Lord tells me to give an argument, to give one hundred, to give two hundred, to give one million, ten billion, endless arguments with his life, his existence is a great reward to give and to give and to give for the sake of you that you are deceived and therefore you are deceived but to give and to believe


that is you are deceived and to believe that is to synchronize the thought with the speech whether it is valuable or that is the belief in the time That we are talking, and we are saying, and we are telling, the words of the Qur'an, to the prophet, I, who is speaking, you, who are telling us, that millions of processes happen in our body, and we are talking freely. These words I tell you: We should not listen to

JESUS IS BORN

We are talking now about what the Quran has to offer, when some people are afraid of the great Lord very much, because they think about the Quran in detail. One of them is Mary. The Lord said to the Quran, 'No matter when the book of Mary begins, and He gives it to you, and you believe in it, it will be in your heart.' Remember in this book, in this famous Quran, Mary, who was taken to a place in Galilee, and she said to the Lord there, 'What happened?' The great Lord gave her a woman, a human form, with a bow, with a right hand. And Mary said, 'What happened?' The Lord gave her a woman, with a right hand, and a bow, and a right hand.' And she said to the Lord, The Qur'an is great.


And she said to him, I ask you to pray for me, for the sake of the great Lord, and he said to her, What are you looking for? I am looking for a woman, a human form, with a right hand, with a bow, and with a right hand, and I will bury her without end. But she said, Mary came from the great judgment, and she said that I am a spirit, I am the one who is my Lord. Because she was alone. She said, I ask you to protect me from the great Lord, for I am from the people who are afraid of him. I ask you to protect me from all such evil ones, for you are afraid of him. Imagine, He was Gjibrail Amini.


And Gabriel Amini said to her, you are afraid of the Lord, leave him, I will bring you to the Holy Spirit. He said, don't worry Meriem, I am a servant of our Lord so that you will be a woman who will be a good wife to your children. Meriem was very angry, very morally angry, so he immediately thought about this and said, how can I have a child if I am not married, if I am not a good wife? And he said to Gabriel Emine, that we should not be angry because he thinks about all life. He said, it is not his problem, the Lord has a way to solve it, this is easy. And one of the reasons why we are giving this form is to show people that from now on, the idea is created that as soon as you are married, you will have a wife, that you will be married and you will be married to another, and you will not have a child.


The message of Jesus, peace be upon him, from the beginning is also this, that the Lord created him as a child, created him without a father, without a mother, without a father, and created him without a father. He said, 'do not be angry because the Lord has a way to solve it.' And he said, 'this will be a matter of our own, and an argument for the future of the people.' And this is the matter that Meriem has come to the end. So it does not matter whether you are married or not. You are going to go to the state and Jesus is going to come. He has his own mission, he has his own message for you. And the message that was given to him after the death of that woman, Miriam, was how to explain it to his people.


And that we remove from this part, because it is not what he wanted to say, after the death of his wife, peace be upon him, as he explained it to the family Quran, but also to the Bible, that Christians have today. Think about some parts of this, but understand that the Quran is stronger, stronger and more powerful. It goes like this: That the one who is proud of his wife, Miriam, does not find that inferiority. He goes and says, and when he goes to the people, those oppressors, who judge, judge without knowing the arguments, without listening to those words, they say, what is this child of Meriem's, that his father was a good man in those days, he was not good.


The great Lord, when Meriem was in trouble, and he was asked to know how the great Lord will justify it to him, and how to get rid of the people, he said, Jebrail, do not be afraid, you will go, and I ask you to be there. I told him that I don't want to fight with a woman, but I want to see the child. That's my problem. And he said to me, I'm not a man. I said, you're too tall. And I said, you're too tall. And I made him see the child. The child was pregnant; it was just a few minutes before he died. He didn't have the time to watch the movie, Hedi Sabia. He said, how do you know the child is pregnant?


And I said, the child is pregnant, so it's the first time. And he said to me, why are you treating the child like that, when your wife is pregnant? And he said to me, I don't want to see the child; I want to see a big piece of the Quran, the one that reads the verses, and I find it original – it's unimaginable how it is written, and the form of the words, and the words, and the words. And he said to me, 'I'm Abdullah, and you're reading the Book of the Prophet. The first thing he said to me was, 'I'm Abdullah.' There were people there, and he said, 'I'm the servant of the Lord.' And he said to me, 'and the commentators of the Quran, the first thing he said was, 'I'm the servant of the Lord', and he said, 'the commentators of the Quran said, I'm the servant of the Lord', just for a fact,


because he knew that the servant of the Lord is the one who makes people to believe in him, like the Lord or the other Lord. He said to me, 'I'm Abdullah,' and he's reading the book, and I'm the servant of the Prophet.' And he said to me, 'I'm Abdullah'. There they were, and I explained what I was reading, which means that I heard it all, and that was the represented by the dormir. He said it again, the prayer was spreading. And they say in the Quranic commentaries that there is a sect that comes out in Islam that says there is no problem, the first one comes out in devilishness. You don't have to thank me. There is something that comes out, and this is what they say in Udhporsht.


Because Jesus, peace be upon him, has said thank you until you die. There is something that says, the first one comes out in the higher reality, you don't have to thank me more, because you are now in the presence of the Lord God. These are false promises, because Jesus, peace be upon him, says, 'Who came during the Literature class to say thank you until the last hour.' The prophet, may his soul rest in peace, until he was very young he was thankful, and he fulfilled the main obligations of the Lord. He was ready to go very young and if he was late he would say, 'You should ask, you should ask, you should also ask, you should ask, you should also ask.' Thank you, thank you, thank you.


Don't be angry with the Lord, and those who have taken care of you, also those who have taken care of you. So it is SVP that met and entered the programmes of the great revolution and Islam. Because it is, believe me, God with sincerity must see in your people. Muslims from now on are free from this. Thank you God. Thank you for giving me the right to speak my own language. Thank you for giving me the right to speak my own language. Thank you for giving me the right to speak my own language. I am speaking my own language. Thank you God. When Islam from the beginning to the end says that two thirds of Islam are contributions for humanity, contributions for people, peace with people, peace with people, goodness with people.


God bless you, God bless the people. God bless you, God bless the people. God bless you, God bless the people. Because the Muslims have understood the part very well. Subhanallah al-Adhim. Jesus, peace be upon him, spoke in front of him and said, then he said, 'I ask you, O Lord, to be respectful and honest with me, no matter when you come to me. And peace with me on the day when you come.' Because one of the most difficult times is when someone comes to you, tell him to do something else. The day when he will die, the day when he will be buried in front of my Lord. And then he raised him, peace be upon him, and told him, 'O Malikum, I will make you a great prophetic figure, out of all that is unimaginable.' And yesterday he was in the mountain, when he was praying to Allah, and the angel of light was there, and the Satan Malkoum went there.


He said, O Isa, do you believe that the Lord is all-powerful? He said, no discussion. Isa, peace be upon him, is great. He said, did you say that he is powerful, and that he has the ability to judge everything? He said, no discussion. He said, come to me in front of you. He said, what do you want from me, Malkoum? He said, I am the mountain above you, and you say that you see me in front of all of your Lord, but these are the words that you say. He said, O Malkoum, it is said that the Lord is great, in the books of the scriptures, that the Lord will judge us. Are we not able to judge the Lord, or are we taken from the mountain when we are born, or not?


He said, Isa, with great faith, when the Satan Malkoum saw what a great figure, what a great prophet he was, how much the Lord was pleased with him, with great grace, all the time, he began to make a vow, and he said, O Isa, you have no faith, you have gone without a father. You are the Lord of all, O Lord. And Isa, peace be upon him, said to him, O great God, as if he was asking for forgiveness, as if he was saying, leave this Malkoum, and he knew the sin, and he was making so many mistakes, and he knew, as if he was saying, you are the Lord, you are great, you have made the Lord, not like other people, and you are great, great God, but with great pride, the Lord of the angels, the Lord of the angels, until he took the Gjibril of mine, and he killed the devil in the field.


After he had taken the oath of allegiance, he went to Isa, and he said, leave this Malkoum, and he said, the devil of Malkoum, and he said, when he took the oath of allegiance, the Lord of the angels, took the Gjibril of mine, and he saw that it was a man, behind him, behind him, he was, and he saw the other devil, he saw the devil of Malkoum, and he said, leave this, from the prophet, from Isa, and he said to him, right away, leave this, leave this, leave this, and he went away from the land, and he said, the other devils, they are going to destroy the land, the people, because this is the Lord of the angels, the Lord of the angels. Ya Hayum, Ya Hayum, Ya dhel Jelali, Ulikram, this is what is happening.


He was convinced with Isa, he didn't reach it, Isa, the prophet, and he said, the other devils, he said, it's impossible, this is not going to happen, but he said, those who are coming, they will be overwhelmed, by a great part, that this is the Lord of the angels, and Isa, continues, he said, Allah, the protector of the shift of one verb, he said, with the blessing of the Lord, he came to look in the land, but they say, the Quran, that he made a speech, for those who were lost, that they were lost, that they didn't look, he said, with the blessing of the Lord, they came to look in the land, those who were lost, in the land, and he said, the words that were spoken, at that time, were totally broken, with the speech, he said, I say, with the blessing of the Lord, I say, in the land, but, how did it happen?

In a random way, he went once after some people, many all were prophets. They were in the corner of the prophet, in the corner of the devil, and the prophet, peace be upon him, he had those the big ones they were big figures, they were with sincerity, they were like that, and the prophet, peace be upon him, and he said to them but why did you say that? He said but you have faith, and you believe how did you start with that? They were shocked, they were shocked, they didn't say anything, he said why? Because, he said, they were three, he said, they love each other a lot, and he went there, he went there, and he went there, he said, who is bigger for you, from those two,


he said, those flowers, he said, for me, they are one, ah, take them, take them, these three, and he continued, with sincere shock, and he left these three, and he left the flowers, all of them, when he came, he found two, and he said, I swear, dear Lord, he told us, why did he find two, and he found two, because, he said, these, were wicked, these people, could not believe, these two, and they didn't think about how, this world was bigger, somehow, no one believed in Christ for sure, they must be with the big opposites, Lord, firmly saw, giving the point, and saw, the greatest prophet, with eyes closed, at all of them, at those who couldn't even see, and he said, they added, few flowers Few money, few euros, few dollars, few little things, few your portions, few beauty, little lit atiez, little things to say, so that's what they used.


I told him that there are three of them, every one of them has a flower. Let's take it and put it together. They found him and told him to go to Bleu Ushim, and let's go. Then I told him that we were leaving at night and we were leaving. He went to Bleu Ushim; he was more shy than this. He went there, in front of Bleu Helm Ushim. He left with two bags, with Helm. He said, when we get there, let's go, let's take the bags with Helm and take the three of them. That was the plan. Today we come, today we go, we wait, we take them, we take them. They all went, all of them, they all went, all of them went two meters away.


When they came, they took the Ushim, they all went to the village. They took the Ushim, the village and the bag. They put the bags in the bag, they put the bags in the ground and the village. This is what happens to the people of Vejjil who do not understand. Because Jesus, peace be upon him, continued with good words and came with the law of God, all of Leshan, with good words. He prepared the Great Lord; he encouraged the Great Lord; he raised the Great Lord, this prophet, until he said, 'I will be with you, I will be with you,' until he said, 'the prophet, the Quran is long. The Quran is long.' Until the prophet, 'I will be with you, I will be with you,' and I will raise the Great Lord from the ground.


This is what the Lord said in the Quran. He himself said in his voice, for the sake of the Lord, he said to him, 'I will be with you, I will be with you,' and I will raise the Great Lord. And Vajza, who is the first one to come, asked him a very important question. He said, 'I will come, I will come' and I will tell you. He said, 'I know that I will tell the Lord.' He said, 'There is no Great Lord in the world.' He said, 'They come and they tell the truth.' He said, no, there is no great Lord yet. And he went. The people went to Bastis. He went to the village of the village of the great Lord. The great Lord said, for you there is no way out of the river.


The great Lord, Vajza, must continue to live. And he went inside. He said, listen, and he listened. He took him by the hand and he took him outside. A great because the people there were certain that he did not have more than the prophet himself. As Ibrahim, peace be upon him, did not want the whole world. As Musa, peace be upon him, did not want the whole world. As the prophet, peace be upon him, did not want the whole world. And the prophet, peace be upon him, did not want the whole world. These were people who were not in the world from the physical aspect. And the great Lord, worshiping you, I pray, and praising, I thank you. And you do not go out of time, He said.


You nobody, you nobody, you somebody. And he said, not even you, Teacher, Neither did I. He told me what did you do? My Lord, I am thirsty, so I drank water. He said, not because he was took, the one who went out to eat. He said. I said to him, what do you want? He said, I want to go to Nuhut. He had a good time there. He knew that there would be an accident. He was the one who was angry. He said, Nuhut, don't fight with me. He said, there is no problem. I am drunk and there is no water for me to drink today. He came when the flood came. He was drunk. He didn't want to fight with me. He went to Nuhut. He knew his story.


He said, let's go there with me. I immediately drove erything away from him. I say, what do both of you want to do? The 2 words happened. A huge event. Two seeped in, and we both thank God. If God see's him more or less OK, repaid. In закон Qarida. That is theayer of the Prophet's words. This is the realizar of the prophet. Who wants to listen? The first Imam of Our Lord. And it really is him we listen to. We listen. And called him the son of Noah, when he saw Jesus, by the grace of God who called him, he called him as Plak. This is a lie. That is the truth. People, those who doubted. Because the believers had lost their jobs, the believers who honestly lost their jobs quickly.


Look at all this universe, look at three scientific documentaries, and every three days is the true belief that history has lost. The doubters who have made a false belief a false belief, a false belief a false belief, a false belief a false belief, they don't know when, they need a lot. May God bless all of you. But the prophet Isa, peace be upon him, made the same mistake. He said, O you who believe in the great prophet, why did you go to Plak? Why did you come here? And he said, O the servant of God, O Isa, peace be upon him, when he said the first time, the second time, the third time, he thought that he would make the day of judgment.


Out of fear, because he had believed in the Lord twice, he made the day of judgment and made it as Plak. Allah says in the Qur'an, How do you not be afraid when you meet your Lord on the day when your children are born? Because of the great fear of that day, because of the great fear of that day, because of the great greatness of that day, the Lord says, For I will show you the way of Jesus with my mouth, because of the righteousness that has been chosen by Me, because I will lift your sword with my hand on every mountain, the light I have set free, the nascent, the rise of mountain, as the path of the Lord has been opened to you.


And I thank you for your kindness and for your kindness to this world, because the good things are going to be brought to this world, but I pray for all of you to come to the past, may God make you all in the world, and I pray for the Friday of the Holy Friday, I say to the Prophet, peace be upon him, from the Friday, the Friday, thank you all, the small and the big, thank you, my Lord, for everything. Amen, Lord of the worlds. I ask you to forgive me, I ask you to forgive me, I ask you to forgive me, I ask you to forgive me, I ask you to forgive me, and all other Muslims.

Aside from our Holy Quran serving as a moral and spiritual guide with advice, commands, stories, and lessons, it also consists of historical and scientific discoveries. Such information was sent down from Allah and compiled into the Quran way before it was even discovered and confirmed to be a fact through scientific research. Such miracles of the Quran serve as evidence of God, His knowledge of all things, and proof of His divine word. We know that the Quran was brought down to us through the narration of the angel Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, piece by piece, until it was compiled after the Prophet's passing in the 7th century. Despite it appearing in a time when science had little value, one can find several scientific facts in the Quran. Number 1.


The Big Bang Theory in the Quran: The theory of the origin of the universe is one of the most noteworthy scientific things mentioned in the Quran. Until 100 years ago, it was believed that the universe had no creator and has always existed. But Albert Einstein, during his field equation study, challenged this belief when he was presented with the theory that the universe is an expanding force that's growing like a balloon. Later, a mathematician and Belgian priest proposed that this expansion must have begun from an initial and dense point. The holy book of the Quran, which came into existence centuries before the uncovering of the Big Bang Theory, details this idea. The text states that, 'Do not the disbeliever see that the heavens and the earth were a closed-up mass?'...


Then we opened them out...' (Quran 21-31). The word 'Ratkin', used in the text, hints at darkness and closed-up mass. This is exactly how the universe must have looked before the Big Bang happened. Number 2. The Big Crunch Theory in Quran, The Big Crunch Theory that predicts how the universe will end is yet another scientific thing the Quran details. ... The idea, based on Einstein's theory of the universe, is that the universe will end as a consequence. The Quran's General Relativity Theory talks about how the universe that began with the Big Bang will be eventually destroyed as a consequence. The holy Quran mentions this incident in passage 21-105 where it reads, 'Remember the day when we shall roll up the heavens like the rolling up of written scrolls by a scribe.' Number 3.


Embryology in Quran, Embryology is a branch of biology concerned with the study of fertilization and embryo development. The central religious text, at one point, talks about embryology and states a significant scientific fact in the Quran. It says, We created man from an extract of clay. Then we made him as a drop in a place of settlement, firmly fixed. Then we made the drop into an alaka, blood clot. Then we made the alaka into a mudgha. Quran, 23, 12-14 Here, the word alaka can be defined as a leech, blood clot, or something suspended in the air. According to science, a fetus gets nutrients and oxygen from the mother. Number 4. Oceanic Division Mentions The meeting of two oceans is called conflux. When two seas meet, their waters retain individual properties like temperature, color, and density.


At a point of conflux, one can see two different bodies of water running side by side. Even though this discovery is recent, the Holy Quran informs the readers about this phenomenon in its 55:19-20 passage. The scientific fact in Quran is stated as, 'He released the two seas meeting side by side.' Between them is a barrier, so neither of them transgresses. The Holy Quran is said to be a barrier to the human body. Number 5. Pain Receptors in the Quran: For a long time, it was believed that the sense of feeling and pain is because of the brain. But a scientific study recently discovered that our skin features pain receptors, due to which we feel pain and agony. Surprisingly, the holy text of the Quran hinted at this occurrence a long time ago.


It states, 'We shall send those who reject our revelations to the hellfire.' The Holy Quran states, 'We shall send those who reject our revelations to the hellfire.' When their skins have been burned away, we shall replace them with new ones so they may continue to feel the pain. This passage clearly suggests that we feel pain because of our skin. Number 6. Internal Waves in the Ocean: Oceanographers, while studying water bodies, discover that the belief that waves only occur in the ocean's surface is wrong. In reality, the waves are present internally, underneath the surface of the water, and are created when the lower part of the oceanic body faces an obstacle. This barrier creates a disturbance in the water body and leads to oscillation.


The Central Religious Text of Islam, which details several secrets and facts about the depths of the oceans, also talks about this phenomenon. One of the nine scientific facts in the Quran talks about the internal waves of the ocean and says that: 'It is covered by waves, above which are waves, above which are clouds.' How could Prophet Muhammad have possibly known all this 1400 years ago, when scientists have only recently discovered this using advanced equipment and powerful microscopes which did not exist at that time? The only answer is that the Quran is the word of God Almighty.

The Unbelievable Origins of Islam: From Stone-Preaching-Poly

The Unbelievable Origins of Islam: From Stone-Preaching-Polytheism to Allah

The Unbelievable Origins of Islam: From Stone-Preaching-Polytheism to Allah |


There once was a time in which all imaginable religions were being practiced in Arabia. From animism to polytheism, from Zoroastrianism to Judaism and Christianity, Arabia was a land of diversity, fragmented into hundreds of tribes, mostly at peace among each other. Religious diversity was so intertwined and chaotic, though, that at one point, the Kaaba, today the most important pilgrimage site in Islam, was said to have been surrounded by hundreds of idols and images of polytheistic deities. Inside the Kaaba, on its walls, a pair of ram's horns and paintings of Mary holding Jesus, of Abraham, of angels, and of polytheistic tribal deities from all over Arabia could be found. When Muhammad returned to Mecca from Medina with his army of Muslim followers, he defeated the ruling tribe of Mecca, the Quraysh.


He demolished the idols of the deities that surrounded the Kaaba, and in some accounts, it is said that he spared the paintings of Abraham, Jesus, and Mary for a while, as a sign of respect, but later removed them to not confuse the focus of Muslims on any other than Allah. Years later, the Muslim armies would continue in Muhammad's intents, spreading Islam from Mecca and Medina to the furthest corners of the Arabian Peninsula. Temples of pagan deities were destroyed, sacred trees were cut, sacred rocks were smashed, and the books mentioning them burned. Entire civilizations, histories, and cultures were forgotten in the span of a decade. Animism and polytheism were eradicated. Many were forced to convert. Many others willfully chose to do so, with some even happy to let the past go.


Monotheism had prevailed. The Jahiliyyah, or Age of Ignorance The Jahiliyyah, or Age of Ignorance, The Jahiliyyah, or Age of Ignorance, are the early Muslim authors' books. They would later write in their books to refer to this period, a period in which humans willingly chose to pray to statues, rather than to the only God, Allah, had come to an end. Muhammad achieved to do what nobody else achieved before, the union of Arabia, with Islam as its glue. Islam became the dominant religion of Arabia, and in the span of a few centuries, would be destined to spread tenfold to the remotest areas of our planet. Fast forward to today, the followers of Islam amount to almost two billion and growing. Though, while writing the script for this documentary, I couldn't help but notice in amazement that while Muhammad united so many people under one belief, so little at the same time has Islam actually changed from that period of supposed darkness and chaos.


The year is 500 AD, a century before Islam would begin its fiery expansion across the world. The most powerful entity in the region, the Roman Empire, has split, and the western part of it has fallen, creating a power vacuum that numerous entities are now eager to fill. The eastern Roman Empire is desperately striving to recover what has been lost. However, its continuous conflicts with the Sassanid Empire, which have been dragging on for the past centuries, have depleted the emperor's treasury, leading to a general sense of panic. In this conflict, both sides, the Romans and the Sassanids, tried to drag their Arab allies into the conflict. On one side, the Romans, supported by the Hassanids, an Arab Christian state. On the other side, the Zoroastrian Sassanids, supported by the Arab polytheistic kingdom of the Lysans.


Since the Romans converted to Christianity, many missionaries have been sent far and wide to spread Christianity, and to bring in new allies; one of the main targets being the tribes of Arabia, a useful buffer region that, if converted, would have proved decisive in the fight against the Sassanids. The concerted efforts of Roman Christian missionaries led entire regions of northern and central Arabia to adopt Christianity, including many cities of the Hejaz and the Sassanids until as far south as Yemen. As if that was not enough, since the Romans defeated the Jews in the Battle of Bar Kokhba and destroyed their temples, persecuting them and leading them out of Judea, Jews have started to escape in all directions, seeking refuge predominantly in Arabia, as Arabia was known to be a region highly tolerant of all religions.


The city of Yathrib, modern-day Medina, was said to have a substantial Jewish population, and so was the Jewish presence considerable in many towns of the Hejaz and in Mecca. But what is more curious is that the Himyarite kingdom, the kingdom which was controlling modern-day Yemen, the strongest and wealthiest of the Arabian Peninsula, had fully converted to Judaism exactly one century prior. This is very important, because, according to the Atlas of World Population History, by demographers Colin McEvity and Richard Jones, if the population of the Arabian Peninsula was truly between three to four million, of which half in Yemen alone, Judaism may have been, at one point, the predominant religion of the Arabian Peninsula at large, while Arab polytheism, Christianity, and Zoroastrianism, the prevailing religions of what is modern-day Saudi Arabia. In summary, Arabia was a melting pot of different religions, in which there were Arab Christians due to Roman and Christian missionaries' influence, a Zoroastrian minority of Arabs due to Sassanid influence, and Jewish Arabs due to the Jewish influence of Jews settling in the region to escape Roman persecution. But what about the Arab polytheists and their original beliefs?


Pre-Islamic Arabs led an extremely different lifestyle compared to other civilizations of the same time period. While most civilizations around the world consisted of farmers working from sunrise to sunset, the Arabs, faced with scarce arable land, were compelled towards a nomadic lifestyle from the earliest times. Consequently, they mostly engaged in transporting goods between empires, typically traveling from sunset to sunrise under the guidance of the moon to avoid the daytime heat of the desert. To clarify, in the south of Arabia, cargo from India and East Africa was collected in Yemen, placed on caravans, and then transported through the mountains and deserts of the Hejaz to the Levant. Upon arrival, the ports of Gaza, Tyre, Sidon, and those in Egypt would forward these goods to their final buyers in Europe.


Simultaneously, in the north of the Arabian Peninsula, Arabs were facilitating trade from China, India, and Central Asia, bound for Europe via the Silk Road through the Syrian Desert. The strategic position of the Arabian Peninsula, situated amidst the mightiest civilizations of the period, on one side, the Romans, and on the other, the Indians and the Chinese, combined with the lack of agricultural land, which did not allow Arabs to create large urban settlements, enabled Arabs to capitalize on their nomadic lifestyle and to become exceptionally wealthy traders. The fact that the ancient Arab tribes were entrusted with the transport of goods across the Arabian Peninsula suggests a level of organization, reliability, and security that was highly recognized to Arabs by such foreign civilizations.


In fact, although divided by numerous faiths and ethnicities, the ancient Arabs were surprisingly very pragmatic, going far and beyond to tolerate whatever the other tribes did. The Arabian Peninsula was a place where Arabs and their tribes, including foreigners, might have believed in, as long as the trading routes were kept safe. However, how did they encourage tolerance to safeguard the trade routes? Throughout the millennia, Arab nomads established numerous temples along the trading routes. These temples, known as harems, were built almost exclusively near water sources and encompassed vast areas of greenery, such as water springs, wells, oases, and giant trees, and mangroves. These areas were declared Hima, inviolable spaces where humans could not pick any fruits, hunt any animals, or commit any evil acts, lest they incur the wrath of the deities.


Such temples provided merchants with places to rest, to gather, to discuss business, to refill their water supplies, and to pray to luck and protective deities for a prosperous journey. Most importantly, as each tribe brought their own deities in the form of stone idols along the journey and placed them in such temples, these temples could have housed dozens or even hundreds of deities at once. This arrangement ensured that no tribe wanted to initiate aggression as they were deterred by the prospect of disappointing their own gods enshrined within such temples. The best example of this is the Temple of the Kaaba in Mecca. Located at the center of the Mecca, the Kaaba is a temple of the Kaaba of the Kaaba of the Kaaba of the Kaaba of the Kaaba, and the center of the incense trade route from Yemen to the Levant.


During this period, it was managed by a tribe known as the Quraysh. According to Sirat Rasulallah, the biography of Prophet Muhammad by Ibn Ishaq, as edited by Ibn Hisham, in Al-Sirah al-Nabawiya, we read: Allah sent his apostle when he was sixty years old, and Mecca, at that time, was a sanctuary to which the Arabs made pilgrimage, and in which they placed their idols, which they venerated and to which they sacrificed. And they had 360 deities which they worshipped. Then, in the same text, we read that on the day Mecca was conquered, the apostle was standing by the idols with a stick in his hand, saying, 'The truth has come, and falsehood has passed away.' Then he pointed at them with his stick, and the idols collapsed on their backs one after the other.


In the same text, we also read, 'The Quraysh had an idol by a well in the middle of the Kaaba called Hubal. Hubal was an image in the middle of the Kaaba, indeed the greatest of their images.' If anyone wanted to circumcise a boy, or arrange a marriage, or bury a body, or doubted someone's genealogy, or needed to make an important decision, or had a legal argument to clarify, they would go to Hubal. With a hundred dirhams, and a camel for sacrifice. They were then given to the priest in charge of an istiksam, to ascertain the answer from the god of Hubal, for instance, in the case of a dispute between merchants over a payment. The arrows were seven, and marked with yes, no, me, you, and the other three void.


The priest would mix them in the quiver, and pick randomly, or throw them at the statue of Hubal. And the contestants had to accept the lot as Hubal's impartial divine decision. Whenever a significant decision needed to be made, after a hefty sacrifice, disputes were settled in front of its statue. It is said that once, the Quraysh tribe offered 100 camels to Hubal, before participating in the Battle of Badra against the Muslims. Legend has it that the blood of the sacrificed animals, and the treasures obtained from such disputes, were thrown into a well, at the center of the Kaaba, called Al-Asaf. As stated previously, temples were built either on top of, or nearby natural water sources, so it should not come as a surprise that the Kaaba too, was built on a well, the Al-Asaf, which later dried up, and was used only for ritual sacrifices.


The Unbelievable Origins of Islam: From Stone-Preaching-Polytheism to Allah

At the time of Muhammad, the Kaaba was described as a squat, roofless building made of unmortared stones, situated in a valley of sand. But who built it, and when? We don't know yet, and unfortunately, we may never know, but we do have a clue. According to the Iranian scholar, Al-Tabari, who documented the migrations of Arabs in the Arabian Peninsula, in his book History of the Prophets and Kings, there have been recurring waves of migrants from Yemen, settling in the Hejaz, throughout the millennia. As stated earlier, Yemen was the most advanced and populous region of the Arabian Peninsula. Within this geographical area, several highly advanced The Kingdom of Ma'ayim, the Kingdom of Saba, the Kingdom of Kataban, the Kingdom of Hadhramaut. These kingdoms were gradually absorbed by the Himyarite kingdom, which converted to Judaism.


What is fascinating is that these kingdoms practiced agriculture and had advanced architectural techniques. In fact, in the 8th century BC, the Sabaeans built the Ma'arib Dam, enabling the kingdom to support an incredible population of 50,000 people. Unfortunately, after nearly 1,000 years of operation, the dam collapsed in 540 AD, killing thousands and displacing the Sabaean population northward into the Hejaz. Moreover, several years earlier, between 400 and 500 AD, the volcano Herah of Erhab near Sana'a in Yemen erupted, displacing thousands more into the Hejaz. As if this was not enough, once the Himyarite kingdom had assimilated these kingdoms, it began persecuting the Christian community of Najran, leading to a response from the Ethiopian kingdom of Aksum, which conquered Himyar in 525 AD, causing even more migrants to flee north.


Islamic historical sources recount that these migrants, particularly the Jorhum tribe, may have arrived in what is now Mecca and expelled the local inhabitants, known as Al-Amalika, likely Bedouins. The Jorhumites positioned their principal deity, Zuhal, at the forefront of the Kaaba, which apparently already existed before their arrival. Zuhal, linked to agriculture and Saturn, embodies healthy growth, a symbolism derived from Saturn's slow orbit. Notably, the name Zuhal translates to 'slow' in Old South Arabian. Later, another tribe from Yemen, the Kuza'a, settled in the area, assimilated the Jorhum tribe, and established the deity Manaf, a mountain god, at the head of the Kaaba, whose name means 'highest'. The tribe of Kuza'a is said to have controlled Mecca for over 400 years.


Lastly, before being assimilated by the Quraysh in the 5th century, it is said that the tribe of Kuza'a introduced the deity Hubal to the head of the Kaaba, a god from the Roman province of Syria/Palestine, suggesting Hubal to be of Syrian origin. Already watched our documentary, God's Insane Historical Evolution, from Mesopotamia to modern times, you've likely noticed that Hubal, or Baal, was by far the most prevalent deity across the Middle East. Originally known amongst the Mesopotamians as Bel, meaning lord, symbolized by a bull in thunder, which bestowed upon him the attribute of warrior, Baal Hadad was the preeminent deity of rainfall and war in the Middle East. This deity was referred to as Baal by the Canaanites. And the Ugaritians, and as bull in Syria.


Moreover, the North Arabians called him Al-Hadad, and to the South Arabians as Hadam and Baal. His Mesopotamian epithet, Ramanu, literally thunderer, was recognized among the Arameans of Syria as Raman, Raman to the Sabaeans, and Raman or Ramanan to the South Arabians, translating to the merciful, for bringing water to their fields. The earliest recorded use of Raman dates back to the 8th century BCE, an Akkadian inscription dedicated to Baal Hadad. In the kingdom of Himyar, it was common for Jews, Christians, and pagan Arabs alike to refer to Jesus as the son of Ramanan, also found in Hebrew as Harahaman. This title later became one of the most common epithets for Allah, Ar-Raman, the merciful. The Kaaba also housed another deity associated with water, Al-Ba'ali, known for its connection to plants growing in inhospitable terrains, because nourished by underground water sources.


Interestingly, the term Ba'ali persists in modern Arabic to describe rainfall agriculture, which remains the predominant agricultural method in Arabia today, due to water being sourced from underground aquifers. Furthermore, also Hubal may be translated as water spring or vapor. Karen Armstrong, a renowned British author and expert in comparative religions, postulates that the 360 deities contained in the Kaaba likely represented the days of the lunar calendar year. Moreover, it is thought that the Quraysh tribe may have added the idols of Abraham, Jesus, and Mary to the Kaaba to acknowledge Christianity and Judaism and to attract Christian and Jewish traders to Mecca. According to the Book of Idols by Hisham ibn Al-Kahbi, there were at least four other Kaaba's around Arabia, left only one Kaaba. The other three Kaaba were the Kaaba of Jumping Fore.


The a Kaaba in Mecca, which housed the black stone. The Kaaba of Najran, owned by the tribe of Al-Harith, the author, however, mentions, I also heard that it was a hall for the poets. The Kaaba of Sindat, owned by the tribe of Elid in Mesopotamia. The author clarifies, I have, however, heard that this house was not a place of worship. Rather, it was a celebrated edifice. The Kaaba of Gaiman, where locals venerated a red stone. And the Kaaba of Dulhalasa, also known as Al-Abalat, or Kaaba of Yemen, located in the modern-day city of Tabala, which contained a white stone. The Kaaba of Yemen, Dulhalasa, was particularly hated by Prophet Muhammad, and thus, in Sahih al-Bukhari 4:355 we read, 'In the pre-Islamic period of ignorance, there was a lot of hatred,' and there was a lot of hatred, and there was a lot of hatred.


There was a house called Dulhalasa, or Al-Kaaba al-Yamaniya. The Prophet said to me, 'Won't you relieve me from Dulhalasa?' So I set out with 150 horsemen, and we demolished it, and killed whoever was present there. Then I came to the Prophet and informed him, and he invoked good upon us and on my tribe. The Kaaba of Dulhalasa was very similar, if not identical to the Kaaba of Mecca. In fact, arrow divination was there too, was practiced, and when Jarir arrived, he threatened the local priest, thus saying, 'Break them, and testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, or else I will chop off your neck.' So the man broke the arrows and testified that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah.


Cube-shaped temples may have been very common in the Middle East, before idolatry was eradicated. In fact, in Iran, there is the Kaaba of Zoroaster, which is the Kaaba of Zoroaster, which is the Kaaba of Zoroaster, which is the Kaaba of Zoroaster, which is the Kaaba of Zoroaster, which is the Kaaba of Zoroaster, which is the Kaaba of Zoroaster, shaped and had a similar function, dating back to 500 BCE. A common ritual among Arab polytheists was the practice of Tawaf, which involves circumambulating an object several times, as we read here. We used to worship stones. When we found a stone superior to the first, we would discard the original in favor of the new one. If no stones were available, we would gather soil, milk a sheep over it, mix the two, and then perform Tawaf originally.


If there was no stone available, we would gather soil, milk a sheep over it, mix the two, and then perform Tawaf originally. The practice of Tawaf was most significant during pilgrimages to the temples, particularly during the Hajja pilgrimage. During this ritual, ancient polytheist Arabs would shave their heads, mix the hair with wheat to make bread to offer to the deity, and perform Tawaf, circumambulating seven times around the Kaaba, without clothes, or with ritual clothes called Iramh. This act likely emulated the movements of stars and planets in the sky, as we will see in a moment. In Chapter 2, and was probably intended to ask the gods for rain. The Tawaf was not performed solely around the Kaaba. Whenever a baby was born, the leader among the Bedouins would take the child in his arms, hold him high, and walk seven times around the tent.


This was done while praying to the gods that the female devil, known as Umasubian, notorious for causing infants to die and women to miscarry, would not harm the baby. A similar practice to Tawaf was performed during the Hinduism, known as Pradakshina, where worshippers walk around the temples several times, offer their hair, and wear ritual attire. This practice is mirrored in Buddhism, referred to as Kora, symbolizing harmony with the motion of the sun across the sky, and symbolically the spread of the teachings of the Buddha throughout the universe. A comparable tradition was also observed in Zoroastrianism, where circumambulation was performed around temples, such as the Kaaba of Zoroaster. With the establishment of Islam, we find a reference in Sahih al-Bukhari 18:365, narrated by Abu Huraira. No pagan is allowed to perform Hajj after this year, and no naked person is allowed to perform the Tawaf around the Kaaba. At that time, the following verse was added to the Quran.


Once the Hajj concluded, it was typically followed by poetry competitions and fairs, where merchants could engage in trade. Another ritual practiced by Arapalethius was that of Ramadan. To prevent droughts, Arapalethius may have believed that by refraining from consuming the environment's resources, and thus the resources of the gods, the gods might have grown more respectful towards humans, rewarding them with water. This belief was not limited to humans alone. Since gazelles reproduce very quickly, even in such environments, tribes often circumambulated around mountains and ritually hunted gazelles to reduce their numbers, and as such, the consumption of water, believing it actively promoted rainfall. Philip Jenkins, professor of historical studies of religion at Pennsylvania State University, suggests that the observance of Ramadan might have been influenced by the Syrian churches, which were known for their rigorous observance of Lent.


This involved eating only one meal after sunset for the forty days leading up to Easter. Furthermore, according to the Book of Idols by Hisham ibn al-Kalbi, it is noted that the tribe of Ta'i abstained from drinking and eating as a symbol of respect towards the deity Al-Ya'abub. Having reached this point, you may wonder, why did Arabs worship stones as their gods? Archaeologist Uzi Avner from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem notes in his research that the worship of sacred stones was prevalent among Semitic-speaking peoples in general, not just among pagan Arabs. This worship was mostly directed towards unworked stone blocks with uncommon shapes, a practice technically known as fetishism, which involves attributing supernatural powers to inanimate objects.


Among the most commonly worshipped stones were tall monoliths, known as ansab, which literally means 'to be a stone.' The stone is known as the stone of the earth, which is known as the stone of the earth. The stone is also known as the stone of the earth, which Smaller stones used for prayer in the North Arabian kingdom of Nabatea, termed masjidah, and duwar, stones around which Semitic people performed tawaf. These deities were often represented by freestanding slabs, on which faces, especially in Nabatea, and astral symbols, particularly in South Arabia, were drawn. Kingdoms under the influence of Greeks and Romans, such as the kingdom of Nabatea, also developed statues in human shape, like the famous statue of the Nabataean main god, Dualshara.


The Unbelievable Origins of Islam: From Stone-Preaching-Polytheism to Allah


Any oddly shaped stones, uncaught blocks, rock formations, or meteorites, were believed to be inhabited by a spirit or deity. In Jewish tradition, standing stones are known by the terms matzeva and maaseba. These maaseba were placed on graves to mark the location of the dead and to eternalize the memory of the deceased, or to entrap their souls in such stones. In Arabic, these objects were known as byt'u'ala, meaning house of the deity. Worship was not directed at the physical object itself, but at the god or spirit believed to inhabit it. The Semites referred to these objects as bethel and introduced them to the Greeks and Romans as bytilis. This is also why the Kaaba in Mecca is called the Kaaba. This is called Kaaba Baytullah.


According to Abdul Muntir in Sirat Rasulallah, every household in the city of Mecca in pre-Islamic times had its own household deity in the form of a betel. Before setting out on a journey, the family member would touch the betel to ensure a safe journey. Upon returning, he or she would kiss or touch the betel as a thank you for the safe return. Furthermore, at the Kaaba in pre-Islamic Mecca, a group of women known as the Sayyidah were responsible for weaving and renewing the clothes that adorned the idols and beteels of the Kaaba. Uzi Avner also writes that, whenever a traveler stopped at a place or station to rest and spend the night, he would select four stones, choose the finest among these as his god, and use the other three to support his cooking pot.


In the Book of Idols, Ibn al-Kahf, Ibn al-Kahfi describes the rituals of pre-Islamic Arabs surrounding such sacred stones, including performing animal sacrifices. To attract the attention of the deities, the blood of the animals was spilled on the sacred stone and the circumambulations were performed around it. Uzi Avner's research also notes that beteels come in different sizes and groups. Wider and shorter beteels are linked to goddesses, while thin and tall beteels are linked to gods. Moreover, the size and grouping of the beteels may indicate not only their gender but also their role of authority and importance. Furthermore, Avner observes an important detail about the stones, dedicated to prayer through prostration, known as masjidah. While Nabataean standing stones have no specific orientation, in North Arabia, standing stones tend to either point east, where the sun rises, or have their back to a mountain.


Thus, when a believer kneels to pray in front of a masjid, the stones tend to be placed in the middle and some sides are perfect for them, while at the top of the temple, the stones are fixed. Thus, the most important aspect is the position of the its kind before were thou Undertaker or protector. In my steps to the actual scientific hearings, do as I have shown.

These stones are oriented with their backs to Gunung Agung, the tallest and most sacred mountain on the island, even when the mountain is not directly visible. Others face with their backs to the second tallest mountain, Batu Karu. This orientation is referred to as Kaja, meaning to the highest. Similar shrines are also found in Hindu villages in Java, he writes. Now that you're familiar with the basics of pre-Islamic polytheism, let me introduce you to the three most important gods, the famous three daughters of Allah, and to the remaining deities of Arabia, before diving into the origins of Allah himself.


Ask them, O Prophet, if your lord has daughters, while the pagans prefer to have sons. Have you considered the goddesses Alat and Aluzah, and the third one Manat as well? You prefer to have sons, while you attribute to him daughters. This is truly an unfair distribution. These goddesses are nothing but names that you and your forefathers have made up, a practice Allah has never authorized. They follow no reason, but inherited assumptions in whatever their souls desire, although true guidance has already come to them from their lord. Early Muslims questioned the pagans' logic with severe disdain. Pagans prized having many sons and felt shameful for having many daughters. Yet, ironically, they attributed only daughters to Allah. How could they think this was the right thing to do? While Hubal was the chief deity of the Kaaba in Mecca, it was not the most important deity among air polytheists outside of Mecca. In fact, its worship was limited to the Quraysh tribe, who were governing the Kaaba at that time. Air polytheists outside of Mecca believed in many deities, but none were more iconic to them than the triad of the three goddesses, Alat, Aluzah, and Manat.


To the North Arabians, she was known as Azumal-Aliha, Mother of the Gods, and Ar-Rabat, the Lady. The Himyarites called her Atiratan and Elat, while in Syria, she was known as Alat. In Canaan, she was referred to as Asherah, and to the Phoenicians as Ar-Atsaya. In Syria, she embodied Ard and Aretz, representing the earth itself. Alat was a widely revered deity across the Middle East, associated with the fertility of the soil, breathing life into the otherwise inhospitable desert. Her temple, located in the city of Taif, not far from Mecca, was represented by a square block of stone, known as the Garden of Hejaz. Her temple was celebrated for its beautiful flora and fauna, thought to be a blessing bestowed by the deity.


Within her garden, humans were forbidden from picking, eating any fruits, hunting animals, or committing evil acts, lest they incur the wrath of the goddess. Her temple was a pilgrimage site, thereby fostering trade. Her name most likely means 'the goddess'. One particular note is that goddesses similar to her tended to be not just the most important goddesses but almost always also the wives of the most important gods, called the highest gods in the Semitic tradition. For instance, Alat is the wife of El in the Ugaritic tradition. Asherah is the wife of El Elyon in the Canaanite tradition. Asherah-tum is the wife of Amaru in the Amorite tradition. This prompted academics to theorize that if Alat was the wife of El, then Alat, rather than being his daughter, must have been the wife of Allah, the highest god in pre-Islamic times, from whom all the Arab deities were born. Another curiosity is that the Carthaginians also knew her as Alatu, and the Hurrians in the Anatolian peninsula as Alani. Her temple was destroyed under the orders of Prophet Muhammad, who prohibited trade within the city of Taif, until the local tribe agreed to demolish her idol, and to convert to Islam.


Symbolized by three acacia trees, in the ancient city of Nahallah, Aluza was the pagan goddess of protection associated with the planet Venus, encompassing aspects from war and health recovery to love within marriage. Worshippers sought the deity's favor in various ways, some sacrificed animals, pouring their blood onto stone slabs as offerings for assistance in warfare, while others brought small golden images, appealing to the deity's compassion for their ailing children. 3. The dual nature of Aluza. The dual nature of Aluza is not only the immemorial beauty of the goddess, encompasses both the warrior's strength and the nurturing care of a mother, illustrating a unique blend of two contrasting aspects. Her origins are likely influenced by Mesopotamian deities, particularly the goddess Ishtar, who was notably prevalent in the Middle East.


As the goddess of love, fertility, and sexuality, Ishtar was associated with nature's generative forces. Simultaneously, as the goddess of war and combat, she embodied chaotic and destructive forces, symbolizing the unity of opposites in which matter is simultaneously created and destroyed. The dual nature of Aluza and Ishtar likely stemmed from the movements of Venus in the sky. Venus appears in the morning sky for a few months before disappearing, either because it is behind or too close to the sun, and then reappears in the evening sky for several months. This movement, resembling a dance from one horizon to the other, symbolized the transformation in her mood. Consequently, it was also believed that she was both male and female, or that she had a son named Athtar to represent the opposite part of her personality.


In Central Arabia, where Mesopotamian religious influences were most pronounced, Allat and Aluza were regarded as the same deity. Allat symbolized the creative side, while Aluza embodied the destructive aspect. After the establishment of Islam, the Prophet Muhammad named Khalid ibn al-Walid to go to Nahala and slay the pre-Islamic Arabian goddess Aluza, believed to dwell within one of the three trees. Legend has it that Khalid destroyed the first tree and reported back to Muhammad, who inquired if anything unusual had occurred, to which Khalid denied. The same happened after the second tree was cut down. Upon attempting to fell the last tree, an enraged woman appeared, identified by the temple's custodian as Aluza. Khalid struck her with his sword, decapitating her. He then killed the custodian and cut down the third tree, leading Muhammad to proclaim the end of her worship.


Manat is the eldest among the three sisters, an old, fragile, skinny lady who practices magic and shamanism, second in age only to Allah himself. As an old lady, wise from her life experiences, she determines the fate of the living and writes the destiny of how they will die, as implied by her name in old Arabic, mana, which means the one who determines. It was believed that an oath made in her name was the most solemn, because lying in her name would inevitably lead to the end of one's life. Once someone died, Manat, along with her sisters, Kaisa and Taraha, would oversee the graves of the dead to ensure that nobody could return to the living, prevent grave robbing, and cast curses on anyone who stole and sold the contents of such graves.


Her main idol was housed in a temple called Al-Mushalal, located halfway between Mecca and Yathrib. The local tribes would perform hajjah to honor her, shave their heads, and mix the hair with wheat to make bread for the deity. This act symbolized a change in their lives. They would also perform tawaf, unclothed to clean, and they would also perform tawaf, unclothed to clean. To Arab pagans, Manat represented the antithesis of Dahar, also known as Zaman. While Manat symbolized decisions made through time, Zaman personified time itself, moving aimlessly without purpose or goal, embodying the certainty of death where no decisions are made. This stagnant entity was viewed negatively by pagan Arabs, which was not worshipped but feared as a relentless force towards the decay of matter.


The trio of sisters, Alat, who creates, Aluzah, who both destroys and protects, and Manat, who decides and determines life's end, mirrors the concept of the Greek Moirai and the Roman Parce. In the ancient Greek framework, the Moirai consisted of Clotho, who spun the thread of life akin to Alat, enabling life to emerge, Lachesis, who measured the thread of life, paralleling Aluzah's role, and Aluzah, who spun the thread of life akin to Manat, who safeguarded it for a determined duration, and Atropos, who cut the thread of life, determining death, similar to how Manat marks the end of things in time and ensures that no one escapes from their grave. Curiously, the husband of Manat, worshipped in Musdalifah, Kuzah was a god of thunderstorms and clouds. Kuzah was imagined as a giant archer residing in the clouds who, with his bow, would launch hailstones at the demonic spirits.


The people of Mecca believed the rainbow, appearing after a thunderstorm, to be a ladder to the heavens. Even today, the term Kaz-Kuzah, meaning Bow of Kuzah, is used in modern Arabic to refer to a rainbow. Kuzah is thought to have originated from Kos, the thunderstorm deity of the Edomites. Among the Nabataeans, Kuzah is the most famous of the two. Kuzah is the most famous of the two. Kos was portrayed flanked by bulls and brandishing a thunderbolt. During Ramadan, the Quraysh tribe was known to celebrate a feast called Ifadah in Musdalifah as part of the rain-making rituals known as Istikha. Lastly, in the same month that Khalid ibn Walid was sent to destroy the Three Acacia Tree Temple of Al-Uzzah, an ex-pagan by the name of Sad bin Zaid was commanded to go to Al-Mushallal to eliminate Manat. According to the Al-Mushallal, the Al-Mushallal was the most famous of the three acacia tree temples. A black woman appeared before him, unclothed, with disheveled hair, wailing and beating her chest. Sad immediately killed her, destroyed the idol, and broke the casket, then returned to his tribe.


Apart from Hubal, the principal deity of the Kaaba in Mecca and the three goddesses, Alat, Aluza, and Manat, who were central to the pagan faith across hundreds of miles around Mecca. In the north, south, and east of Arabia, three types of very practical deities associated with astronomical objects were worshipped. Venusian deities, solar deities, and lunar deities. The worship of these astronomical objects may have had origins in the Mesopotamian tradition, which influenced Arabia for thousands of years up to that point. In fact, the most common name for the sun deity in Arabia was Shams, while Shamash was the Mesopotamian equivalent. The most common name for the moon goddess was Syene in Arabia, with Syn being the Mesopotamian equivalent. The planet Venus, associated with Ishtar in Mesopotamia, held similar importance to the sun deity.


The sun deity was also associated with the moon goddess, however, the Arabs mainly focused on her sun or male personality, Aftar, thought to bring rain. In fact, since Mesopotamian times, the sun, moon, and Venus have been meticulously observed due to their size and brightness in the sky. The sun, large and bright, illuminates the day, while the moon, to our eyes similarly large, lights up the night. Venus, on the contrary, was often mistaken for the brightest star, receiving the nicknames, morning star, and evening star. Furthermore, the movements of the sun, moon, and Venus were so predictable that our ancestors, by measuring these movements, not only designed calendars around them to identify the most optimal periods for sowing and harvesting, but also created religious celebrations to remind farmers of such crucial dates.


The sun and the moon seem to alternate in the sky, marking the passage of day and night. The moon undergoes a cycle of phases, new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter, which last nearly 30 days. The ancients observed that after 12 moons, our planet was almost back in the same position, marking one year. Furthermore, the orbit of Venus in the sky, which takes 19 moons, as mentioned previously in the paragraph about Aluza, of Aftar in the position of morning star, most often marked the arrival of the rainy season. Other civilizations, such as the Aftar, are also known as the Aftar of the sky, which is the most common position of the sun, moon, and moon, as the Aztecs and Mayans, among others, made similar calculations, and similarly perceived Venus as both a warrior deity and a fertility deity, determining the months left before the arrival of rainfall.


But this is not all. When the Arabs observed the goddess Athuraya in the sky, namely the cluster of the Pleiades, rising on the horizon, they would ascend mountains to pray, as the appearance of the Pleiades most likely signified the arrival of the rain. Moreover, the tribes of Mesam and Tamim believed that the star Aldabaran, which they called Aldabaran, was the lover and follower of Athuraya, the goddess of the Pleiades. If Aldabaran in the Taurus constellation had a heliacal rising unaccompanied by rain, it was, unfortunately, considered an omen of drought. Most importantly, by far, is the star of Sirius. Its heliacal rising in ancient Egypt is the star of Sirius, which is the star of Sirius, which is the star of Sirius, on the 19th of July, marks the onset of the Nile's flooding, heralding the arrival of water.


Similarly, in the same period in Yemen, the monsoons bring rain. Sirius being the brightest star, known as Ash-Shira to the Arabs, was also crucial for navigating the deserts at night. Its complete disappearance indicated that the clouds were so thick that rain was almost guaranteed. Sirius was worshipped to such a degree by Arab pagans that it was later stated in the Koran that it was the star of Sirius. And he alone is the lord of Sirius. On the contrary, the star Algol, which the Arabs called Al-Ul, translated as the demon, is a bright star in the constellation of Perseus and one of the first non-nova variable stars to be discovered. This peculiar characteristic of being very bright, then fading and twinkling, even disappearing during a clear night sky, was a cause for concern.


When Algol faded in the sky, it was believed that the star of Sirius was the lord of Sirius. The demon descended to the earth, attacking the graves of the beloved dead ones in the cemeteries, devouring their corpses, and preying upon children and lone travelers in the deserts. Arabs would never go into battle if the light of Algol was weak. Moreover, as deities were thought to reside on the planets, Mercury, being the fastest orbiting planet, was associated with a messenger delivering messages between planets. In Mesopotamian mythology, he was known as Nabu. He was the son of the high deity Marduk, and his name meant the announcer, or the authorized one. He was a god of prophecies, wisdom, writing, and law.


In the Semitic tradition, such among Israelites, Aramaeans, and Arabs, the god Nabu, son of Marduk, became the most common word to refer to prophets, calling them Nabi, like Nabi Muhammad. Mars, due to its red color, was commonly associated with blood and war. Jupiter Jupiter, being the largest planet visible to our naked eyes, was seen as a patron deity. Its slow orbit was believed to guarantee slow and healthy growth of one's luck and riches. While Saturn, the slowest orbiting visible planet, was associated with healthy agricultural growth and fertility, but also with the underworld below, where the dead resided. Lastly, although the sun was respected, it was not revered due to its constant presence in the sky, which mostly caused discomfort.


By far, the Sacrificial mascot closest to humans was the Moon, known as Saigin, and also referred to as Heel Grandma, Camar, Orac,, and Wad, in different regions of Arabia. The moon provided relief from the daily heat, guided merchants and shepherds at night, reflected light to reveal distant oases, and was believed to cause orchards to bloom in the desert. In Mesopotamian traditions, the moon and god Nana, known to the Akkadians as Sin, was a pastoral deity. He was also called Abkar, meaning the shining cow, and Ablulu, the one who makes cows abundant. Imagined in the sky as a herdsman, with the stars poetically described as his herd. As you may have understood, our ancestors were truly pragmatic, and modern astrology bears almost no resemblance to its ancient counterpart.


The main aim of ancient astrology was to determine, through the movements of astronomical objects, the arrival of rain, and to identify the most optimal periods for sowing and harvesting. You have surely heard that our ancestors observed the movements of birds in the sky to predict the future, a practice known as orthomancy. But what kind of future exactly? Once again, the primary focus was on predicting the rainy season. The movement of the birds determines the changing of seasons, and the incoming thunderstorm that frightens them. Trees were also held sacred in pre-Islamic Arabia, not only for indicating where water could be found underground, since where there are trees, there is water, but also for many ecosystems that support insects and animals to thrive.


Arab polytheists revered small thorny trees about the height of a man called Zaur, upon which they hung strips of cloth. They worshipped such trees to bring rain and sacrificed animals in front of them to cure a sick family member. Other trees, known as manahil, were believed to be places where angels descended to rest, and in which spirits dwelt. It was thought that while angels rested on their branches, they would inadvertently drop bits of divine messages intended for the deities. Consequently, anyone resting below such trees could receive a prophetic dream. Pagans also paid homage to Tahatu Anwad, a Meccan tree goddess, symbolized by a large lotus idol located halfway between Mecca and Yathrib, by hanging their swords and jewelry on the branches of her trees. Moreover, in the later Islamic theology, there are the Shajarat al-Hayat, the tree of life, and the Sidrat al-Muntaha, believed to mark the boundary of the seventh heaven beyond which no creation can pass, alongside the tuba tree in heaven, which is believed to bear all worldly fruits.


While the worship of Hubba, of the three daughters of Allah, and of astronomical objects can be traced back to Semitic and Mesopotamian influences, the most ancient deities native to Arabia are the jinns. The jinns are believed to originate from a legendary mountain situated at the earth's edge, known as Mount Kaf. This mountain is said to have been ruled by Jan ibn Jan, the most ancient of the jinn, and the progenitor of all jinns. Jinns are personifications of natural and inanimate forces, such as a rock moving by itself or a river flowing, believed not to possess souls. They are said to be made of smokeless fire, and their voices to be the wind in the deserts. Jinns are neither inherently good nor bad, but they possess free will, similar to humans, and are subject to judgment by the gods at the end of time.


Jinns coexist with us in this world but on a metaphysical plane that prevents us from seeing them. They inhabit oases, water springs, and rocks, and on rare occasions may possess animals and humans, allegedly bestowing upon them artistic qualities such as poetry and prophetic revelations. To avoid being attacked by them, it is said that Arabs, who believed that jinn resided in bushes, would throw a stone into a bush to scare the jinn and ensure it remained inside. Animals, especially snakes, were held deeply sacred by the jinn. If a man killed a snake, he would need to seek forgiveness by preparing a statue of a camel, filling it with barley and dates, and placing it on a mountain. The jinn would forgive him only if the food was gone by the next morning.


Should the jinn not accept the offering, he would it would afflict the man and his family with a long-lasting illness. The concept of jinn likely originates from the Bedouins, who have roamed the deserts of Arabia for millennia. It represents the most ancient religious concept, dating back to Arabia's animistic period, and is considerably older than the Arab polytheistic tradition, which was later incorporated into standard Islam. Examples of jinn include the Karin, pair of jinn, one benevolent, whispering to us to perform good actions in one ear, and one malevolent, tempting us to behave badly in the other ear. Hatif, an invisible jinn that warns you of impending danger. Sayir, a jinn appearing as a very old man with only one eye, a beard reaching his knees, very long teeth and toenails covered in iron, haunting desolate places.



Waswas, jinns that inhabit the air and are responsible for the sound of the wind. Several jinns also govern the days of the week and the production of metals within the earth's crust. Among the most powerful jinns are the Marids, the most rebellious and cunning among the jinns. The Marids practice magic and live in open seas. They often attempt to intercept messages from the angels in the sky to predict the future. When they get too close to the heavens, the earth, gods strike them with shooting stars, as if stars were missiles. Another group of people are known as the Marids. One of the most powerful jinnis is the Afarit, winged titans bursting in flames, prone to anger and hostility, except when offerings are made to them, which they may reward.


Sorcerers, known as Sayir, were said to control jinni's and Afarit through poetry and animistic magic, either to keep them at bay or to use them against the enemies, thus supporting generals and tribal leaders. The Sayir were also believed to perform exorcisms, treat medical conditions, and inflict illnesses on the enemies. The Sayir were also believed to perform exorcisms, treat medical conditions, and inflict illnesses on the enemies with black magic by partially tying a knot, uttering a curse, and pulling the knot tight. Such curses could only be reversed if the knot was found and untied. The practice of sorcery was later banned in Islam, as it was believed to lead to the sin of shirk, associating partners with Allah, and it was punished with death.


Other curious entities, possibly influenced by the Jewish and Mesopotamian tradition, are the giants known as Jabirun, Uj-e-Purim, and Uj-e-Purim. Like Nanak, for example, is a giant of such immense size that he could catch whales with his bare hands while being knee-deep in the ocean. Demons such as Dulhath, man-like entities riding ostriches, believed to inhabit the Arabian coasts. These demons were feared for their use of black magic, and they were thought to be responsible for summoning storms at sea, causing ships to sink with the intention of devouring the corpses of sailors once washed ashore. Similarly, the areas surrounding villages and towns were said to be haunted by flesh-eating ogresses known as Ad-Dami, which preyed on wandering merchants and children left unattended under the cover of night.


Devils, referred to as shayatin, were believed to be formed from the blood of murdered people. These malevolent spirits were thought to instigate evil thoughts in the minds of men. According to ancient Arabian tradition, possession by shayatin was considered to be the cause of evil. Shayatin was common, and mostly linked to mental illnesses, or cited as the cause of people doing morally questionable things. Notable examples include Soot, the devil who pushes men to gossip and lie, Dasim, who sows discord between spouses, Zalambur, the instigator of fraud, and Awar, who tempts partners with the pleasure of infidelity. The Shayatin were rumored to gather in circles in the cemeteries, particularly around the graves of the most wicked people in the world. In defense against these devils, Arabs would sometimes name their children after powerful animals, craft clay bowls inscribed with magic incantations, and place them in the corners of their homes to catch such malevolent entities. Last but not least are the Deevs, demons of Persian origin believed to be demonizations of the Hindu Devas, and Peris, fairies of Persian origin, akin to angels, mostly benevolent towards humans. They were also said to protect forests from those who attempted to damage or litter in them.


Arabia is a land of extremes, oscillating between excessive dryness and sudden torrential rains. Particularly in Mecca, when rain does occur, it often takes the form of violent thunderstorms, accompanied by hailstones. The sheer volume of water can lead to the death of thousands of people. For instance, in 600 AD, during the era of Muhammad, the Kaaba was damaged by a flash flood and subsequently rebuilt. Similarly, in 1627, re-walls of the Kaaba collapsed due to flash floods and had to be reconstructed. Tribal conflicts, though rare, could erupt suddenly with dramatic consequences. For instance, the Kaaba endured a fire in 683 AD. The Kaaba was bombed by catapults in 692 AD and ultimately suffered damage at the hands of the Karmatians who stole the black stone from the Kaaba and secreted it away in the oasis of Al-Asa in eastern Arabia.


The Karmatians eventually demanded a hefty ransom for its return before selling it back to the Meccans. The lack of trust in both the environment and humans may have led Arabs to believe that by appeasing the deities with gifts and substantial sacrifices, such deities would not be able to save the Kaaba. In fact, sacrifices in temples like the Kaaba were highly transactional. If the priests did not achieve the desired result, it often resulted in the petitioner's anger. The concept of Ramadan was transactional too, with the underlying intent being, 'I will not consume your resources, O deity, so you will grant me more of this later.' Meanwhile, the Tawaf, performed by ancient Arabs around the Kaaba seven times, was a ritual aimed to emulate the movement of the seven major astronomical objects visible in the sky: the sun, moon, Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.


This act, in essence, was either an attempt to unite with the universe or to expedite the seasons to get rain, rendering the Tawaf a rainmaking ritual not very far from other rain dances found across Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas during the same period. The Tawaf was also a ritual aimed to emulate the movement of the seven major astronomical objects. The recurrence of the number seven, not only in pre-Islamic Arabia but also in Judaism and other Semitic religions, likely originates from Mesopotamian culture, where it symbolized wholeness, completeness, and totality. For example, the Sumerian word for seven, imin, was translated by the Akkadians as kishatum, with the meaning of world and universe. Similarly, Babylonian mythology describes the universe as composed of seven pieces, seven earths and seven heavens with most of their traditions and rituals incorporating the number seven in them.


Psychologist George A. Miller, in his research, 'The Magical Number Seven Plus or Minus Two: Some Limits on Our Capacity for Processing Information', writes that the average number of objects a human can hold in short-term memory is seven plus or minus two. This means that most humans can focus on five to nine objects at a time, highlighting the number seven as a limit of our brain's capacity. The concept of submission upon final analysis may arise as a reaction to the harshness of nature and consequently to the Deities in pursuit of better living conditions, this principle is fundamental to Islam where the very name Islam means submission to the will of God. This ideology likely evolved as a pragmatic strategy to ensure the survival of individuals in an environment where living conditions are otherwise extremely challenging.


The idols that they invoke besides Him have no power to intercede, except for those who bear witness to the truth knowingly. If you ask them, O Prophet, who created them, they will certainly say, Allah. If you ask them, O Prophet, who created the heavens and the earth and subjected the sun and the moon to His will, they will certainly say, Allah. How, then, can they be so deluded and stray from the truth? Allah is aware of the Prophet's lament. O my Lord, indeed, these are a people who persist in disbelief. Early Muslims questioned the logic of pagans with severe disdain. While pagans attributed to Allah daughters and acknowledged Allah as their sole creator and as the creator of the heavens and the earth, a point affirmed by the Quran, for some inexplicably, among the hundreds of deities pagans worshipped, they specifically refused to worship Allah, the God most important among them.


Yet, pre-Islamic sources, scarce due to the pagan Arabs' preference for oral tradition and the subsequent erasure of such sources within the expansion of Islam, suggest that pagans rarely mentioned Allah as a concept. Instead, the most worshipped deities were Venusian deities like Attar and thunderstorm deities like Baal, who brought rain, moon deities that guided merchants at night, and the three supposed daughters of Allah associated with creation, decision-making, protection, and destruction. This raises critical questions. Who or what was Allah precisely? What are his origins? Was he a deity already present in pre-Islamic Arabia, or did Muhammad introduce a new concept with the foundation of Islam? The earliest mentions of the word Allah date back to the 5th century AD, two centuries before the expansion of Islam in the kingdom of Liham.


This kingdom either bordered Mecca to the south or exerted some influence over it. The name Allah appeared as a theophoric element in the names of some Lihamite inhabitants, such as Abdullah, which means servant or slave of Allah, among the theophoric elements of other deities, including Abd al-Uzza and Abd al-Munaf. Notably, the name of Prophet Muhammad's father was Abdullah ibn Abd al-Mutalib, indicating that from the 5th century onwards, some people began to incorporate the name Allah into their personal names. However, the name Allah was not unique to the kingdom of Liham. In fact, it found cognates in many nearby civilizations, dating much earlier than the 5th century AD. While in the kingdom of Liham, he was known as Allah, in Syriac Christian texts, from four centuries earlier, he was known as Allaha.


To the Arameans, 15 centuries prior, he was known as Allahah. To the Israelites, Phoenicians and Ugaritians, 19 centuries prior, he was known as El and Elowa. And to the Mesopotamians, 36 centuries prior, he was known as Elume. 1. TANMAT 2. ALAM 3. ALAM 3. ALAM 5. ALAM 6. ALAM 7. ALAM 7. ALAM 8. ALOM 8. ALAM 7. ALAM 7. ALAM 7. ALAM 8. ALAM 9. ALAM 7. ALAM. A significant cultural exchange among these civilizations, with the names Ila and Il found as far south as Yemen, similarly to how widespread the thunderstorm deity Baal was across the Middle East in the previous chapter. Therefore, the names Ala, Alaha, Elaha, El, and Eloah, Ila, and Ilum distinctly highlight that for thousands of years, these civilizations shared a similar concept of supreme deity, precisely that of the high god or highest god.


Such high gods, like El or Eloah to the Israelites, and later Allah to the Arabs, was believed to have created the heavens and the earth, and to have given birth to sons and daughters who would later become gods, ruling over the natural world they created. In addition, they were thought to have created the angels, the spirits, the jinn's, and the demons, to oversee the minor events of nature. Once their creation was complete, though, they would retreat into the farthest point of the universe they had created, into Aliyin for the Arabs, and El for the Israelites, never to reveal themselves to their creation once more, except in the most desperate of times. In Latin, this concept is known as deus otiosos, the inactive God.


Such high gods were said to be so powerful compared to the sons and daughters they had created, that they could not be represented in the world. They were called Deus Otiosos, the inactive God. They were called Deus Otiosos, in any way, shape, or form, nor could they be called by their personal names to avoid disturbing them. This was because such a disturbance could immediately incur their wrath, causing havoc for humanity. This may explain why, if the pre-Islamic Arabs truly believed in Allah, why they never worshipped him or mentioned him within their temples. A common hypothesis attempting to explain why pre-Islamic Arabs might have shared a common belief in Allah suggests that the name Allah formed from the combination of Al, the article meaning 'the', and Ila, meaning deity, to form Al-Ila, which simply means 'the god'.



This implies that, among all deities, Allah was considered the god, and therefore the most important. This has led scholars to speculate that each pre-Islamic Arab tribe might have referred to its most important god as Allah. For example, the Allah worshipped by the Prophet Muhammad, who was worshipped by the Prophet Muhammad, the Quraysh tribe, might have been Hubal, whereas the Allah of the Sabaeans might have been Athar, and of the Himyarites before Judaism, Al-Makkah, highlighting the possibility that each tribe might have shared a common name, Allah, and a common concept of highness, to identify the respective most important gods. This indicates that during the time of Muhammad, the Allah of Mecca might have been identified with Hubal.


Shaikh notes, in Sirat Rasulullah, when Muhammad confronted the Quraysh at the battle of Uhud, he invoked Allah, whereas the Quraysh called upon Hubal, which reduces the likelihood that they were referring to the same god. Lastly, the later spread of the word Allah in the kingdom of Lihyan in the 5th century AD, compared to its existence for thousands of years among the Syrians, Arameans, Israelites, and Mesopotamians, suggests that these civilizations may have influenced the northern Arabs to develop the concept of Allah over time indeed. .... With Judaism and Christianity spreading down throughout the Arabian Peninsula, Arab Jews and Arab Christians likely referred to their God as Allah, meaning, The God, to underscore their monotheistic beliefs in contrast to the many al-Ihah's that the Arab Politheists were worshipping.


This, in turn, could have influenced the pagan Arabs to consider the belief in an atomic world. This is ultimately attributed to the website lengthwise link I've given you. all-powerful god, the god Allah, over the many lesser deities they were worshipping at the time. What's more, while in the kingdom of Israel, the Israelites gradually abandoned polytheism and consequently the worship of the high god El-Elyon to embrace monotheism by choosing one of his 70 sons, the god of the Old Testament Yahweh, as their supreme god. Muhammad, in his move towards monotheism, decided on a markedly different path. He took the high god Allah, discarded all the deities supposedly created by Allah according to pagan Arab beliefs, and gathered the powers of all such deities within Allah.


Therefore, technically, Allah shares more similarities with El-Elyon than with Yahweh. This technically is of crucial importance and contrasts with the fundamental thesis of the Quran, which states that Allah is the same god of the world. Allah is the same god of the world. Allah is the same god of the world. The Jews and Christians, being Yahweh, the god of Abraham. In the Quran, in fact, we read, Say, we believe in Allah, and what has been sent down to us, and what was sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the tribes, and in what was given to Moses in Jesus, and to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims submitting to him.


And do not argue with the people of the scripture, except in a way that is best, except for those who commit injustice among them, and say, we believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you. And our god and your god is one, and we are Muslims in submission to him. To further complicate matters, in addition to Allah being closer to El-Elyon than to Yahweh, Allah uses the plural form we when speaking in the Quran, such as in, do not those who disbelieve see that the heavens and the earth were a joint entity, and we separated them, and made from water every living thing. This is similar to how the god of the Israelites is referred to in the Tanakh in the plural form as Elohim, which means gods, making Allah closer to Yahweh than to El-Elyon.


But, despite Allah having 99 names, Yahweh, the personal name of God in Judaism is not among them. Or is it? While the name Yahweh is never explicitly mentioned in the Quran as the official and personal name of Allah, with Islam's adoption of the Jewish tradition, all the Jewish prophets can be found in the Quran. One prophet in particular, Elijah, or Ilyas in Islam, whose name can be divided into Eli, meaning my god, and Jah, or Yah, meaning Yahweh, literally translates to my god is Yahweh. This nuance further reduces the likelihood that the Islamic God Allah, Ilya Vltouru, is the same as Yahweh, the God preached by the Jewish prophets. So, this raises even more questions. Is Allah truly the sameator god of Jewish or Christians, God of Abraham as well? Before diving into whether Islam stands in equal footing with Judaism and Christianity as Abrahamic religions, and before we discover how Muhammad revolutionized pre-Islamic Arabia, marking the end of this documentary, let's first briefly outline how Allah's creation of the world is distributed across the QURAN. Depicted in the Quran,


Allah first created the pen and with it wrote the story of creation from the beginning to the end of time. Allah first created seven earths, which He laid out flat like carpets, stacking them one upon the other. Then He placed the earths on the back of Nun, a giant whale. But because the whale's movements made the earth shake too much, he placed mountains like pegs on top of the earth to stabilize them and to reduce their motion. Next, Allah turned his attention to the sky. He gathered water from the oceans below to form the seven heavens above, each separated by a distance of 500 years' walk, one from the next. He supported the weight of the closest sky, which is a canopy, with invisible pillars extending to the ground.


Before this, his throne, in fact, had been upon water, and the earths and the heavens were a joined entity, and from water, Allah created all living things. In the first heaven, the sky closest to us, He placed lamps, known as stars for decoration. Devils often attempt to steal information traveling through the sky to Allah, so Allah repels them by striking them with shooting stars to keep them bound to the earth. Allah created a shiny lamp called the sun, which rises in the east and when it rises in the west, and runs in the sky towards a stopping point, and the moon, which too is a light, and the sun and moon follow each other in the sky, but they are not allowed to overtake each other.


Night falls when Allah covers the sky with a veil, turning it black to remind his creatures to rest. He makes the sun rise in the east and to set it in the west, purportedly making it end in a muddy spring. There, Allah waits for the sun to prostrate before him, and for the sun to seek permission to rise again before him. Allah waits for the sun to prostrate before him, and for the sun to seek permission to rise again before him. The next day, Allah drives the clouds and brings them together to bring the rain, and to send the wind. Rain water is pure water, and a proof of his mercy. Allah sends rain down from the sky. He blesses with rain whom he wills, and punishes with thunderbolts and hailstones whom he wills.


To separate drinking water from undrinkable water, he placed an invisible barrier between rivers, ending in oceans, that prevents them from mixing. Allah made the sky perfect and without any cracks. However, he can make pieces of sky fall on those who disbelieve in him. Allah is also capable of folding the sky as if it was a scroll, and to cover it with a veil to bring the night, because the sun and moon do not directly cause day and night. Allah also creates the shadows, and can extend them how he wills. He could have chosen to keep shadows remain still, but he chose the sun to be their guide. Allah also holds the birds up in the sky, without His will they could not fly, and He is the One who steers the ships through the sea.


But if Allah one day, when the sun reaches His resting point, does not allow the sun to rise again, and commands the sun to rise from the west instead, this will be a sign of the Day of Apocalypse. He will cover the sky with smoke, and he will cause the sky to split apart, and he will make the stars fall from the sky down on the earth, and he will cause the sun to fold up, seas to overflow, and the mountains to vanish, and the moon to split in two, and the earthquakes to destroy the grounds, and to make the moon rise from the east and the sun to rise from the west to make them collide, and Jesus, son of Mary, to descend once more, to break the cross, to kill all pigs, and to abolish the jizyah attacks, causing the people to be gathered for judgment, because the trumpet will sound, decreeing the end of time.


Both in pre-Islamic times and shortly after the expansion of Islam, the world was envisioned as resting on the back of a colossal whale or an immensely large fish named Bahamut. This fish served as the foundation supporting our world above the waters of the Tihamat, the ocean of chaos. Atop this fish, it was said, there resided a bull named Kuyuta, on whose back there was a ruby, and on this ruby, in turn, stood an angel so immense in size and power, that he could bear on his shoulders the seven earths and the seven heavens Allah created. Beneath Bahamat, residing in the depths of the ocean of chaos, in the Tihamat, there resided Falak, a great dragon or sea serpent in the realm of fire, whose power and anger were said to be so devastating, that Allah himself was said to keep such a creature in check, to not cause chaos over his creation.


Scholars see in Bahamat the behemoth of the Israelites, while in Falak, the Leviathan, both creatures thought to have been created by the most high deities El Elyon, Yahweh, and Allah, at the beginning of creation in the Semitic tradition at large. Finally, it can be observed that Allah, similar to how Marduk created the world in Babylonian mythology, by separating fresh water from salt water, and organizing the world into seven heavens and seven earths, also performs a very similar action by structuring the world in the same manner, and by creating everything starting from water. Therefore, all things considered, the story of how Allah created the world, although largely original, compared to the other myths of the surrounding civilizations, is fundamentally similar in structure, or a mix of the trend of Mesopotamian and Semitic mythologies at large. Despite this idea being maintained until the 18th century, as proven by past Islamic exegesis regarding the verse 68-1 of the Quran, with the arrival of new scientific discoveries, the belief that Allah created the world and placed it on the back of a whale has become unpopular. Now, instead of the whale, interpretations only mention noon without explaining what it is.


Abraham, the prophet at the core of Judaism, and subsequently of Christianity and Islam, is one of the most mysterious and enigmatic figures history has ever conceived. Born around the year 2000 BCE in the Mesopotamian city of Ur, Abraham's father, Terah, was a craftsman who made wooden and stone idols of the Mesopotamian deities for a living. Since his childhood, Abraham was curious and questioned, 'What purpose do these idols serve, Father? They do not move, they cannot see or hear, nor can they harm or benefit us. Why do people pray to them, offer them the best food, and cry before them in temples?' To which his father would reply, 'Abraham, stop insulting our traditions and ancestors.' Sometimes, unbeknownst to his father, Abraham would take the idols his father had crafted and tried to drown them in the nearby river to see if the idols would display any form of struggle or resistance.


Noticing that nothing would happen, Abraham questioned, 'How can these idols be my gods? Where is my god?' he wondered. Terah despised his son Abraham for his rebellious behavior, which he viewed as blasphemous, since Abraham insulted the gods and the traditions of his ancestors. Nonetheless, he had no option but to task Abraham with selling such idols in the local market to make a living. In the market, Abraham would shout, 'Who wants to buy these idols? They can neither harm nor benefit you.' Then he began to insult them in front of everyone, to which the people in the market would reply, Abraham, stop insulting our traditions and ancestors. Abraham then ascended a nearby mountain during the night to ponder, Can my god be this star? It cannot be, for the star disappears by day.


Can my god be the moon? No, for it too vanishes with the arrival of the day. Can my god be the sun? No, for it also disappears with the arrival of the night. Abraham came to realize that God could be none other than the creator of the heavens and the earth, and of everything that surrounded him. That was God. Upon this realization, God appeared to Abraham, thus saying, 'O Abraham, prostrate yourself to me.' And Abraham did so until nightfall. Abraham's rebellious behavior did not go unnoticed for very long, though. His behavior, perceived as blasphemous, caught the attention of the local temple priests and of the Babylonian King Nimrod. To punish the young man, King Nimrod ordered that Abraham's hands be tied, and that he be catapulted into the world's largest fire, so immense that even birds flying overhead would burn.


However, as soon as Abraham was about to be thrown into the fire, God made the fire cool and pleasant to the touch. When Abraham emerged without any injury, the people understood that the God of Abraham was indeed the true God. Nimrod, the Babylonian king who believed himself to be a god, fearful of losing his throne, attempted to debate Abraham by asking, 'What can your god do that I cannot?' Abraham replied, 'My god gives life and death.' Nimrod retorted, 'I too can give life and death. I can take a person from the street and sentence them to death. Or I can take a person condemned to death and grant them mercy, saving their life.' Abraham then said, 'My god makes the sun rise from the east.


Can you, Nimrod, make it rise from the west?' Confused, Nimrod felt defeated, and young Abraham won the debate. Abraham then left the city of Ur, wandering through the deserts to the east in search of the land promised by God. In Canaan, God blessed Abraham with offspring, and together with Sarah, he became the father of Isaac, a son who would give rise to the tribes of Israel. With a concubine named Hagar, Abraham also had Ishmael, a son whose descendants would give rise to the tribes of the Ishmaelites, and hence the Arabs. In the Islamic tradition, Abraham, along with Ishmael, traveled south of Israel, crossing the deserts to Mecca. Here, they are said to have rebuilt the Kaaba, a structure that had existed since the time of Abraham, and that had been destroyed by the great flood.


In summary, Abraham fathered two sons, Isaac and Ishmael, who would give rise to the Israelites and to the Arabs respectively. The name Abraham itself says it all, meaning 'father of nations', underscoring his role as a common ancestor from whom various civilizations believed they came from. Another example similar to Abraham's role as a creator of nations is the prophet Shem, son of Noah, who, after the great flood, had many sons, including Aram, Ashur, Elam, Lud, among others. The names of his sons are not coincidental. In fact, they are the initials of the civilizations they would found, such as the Arameans, Assyrians, Elamites, and Lydians. Thus, Shem is considered the common ancestor of the Semitic peoples at large. Similarly, another prophet called Hem had sons named Cush, Mizraim, and Canaan, giving rise to the Cushite civilization, the ancient Egyptians, and the Canaanite civilization respectively.


It appears that before the concept of nationhood as we understand it today existed, people living in tribes and clans traced their origins to their ancestors, building their identity on top of theirs. Our ancestors recognized that, while both friends and enemies are human, and therefore descendants of Adam, different prophets led to the creation of different lands, of which lands they became the founding heroes. The historical existence of Abraham, as primarily depicted in biblical and Quranic sources, rather than historical records, remains uncertain. Scholars often view the story of Abraham as a mythological story, created to describe the origins of the Israelites and the Arabs rather than a historical event. Most importantly, Abraham's encounter with a person in the tastes of slavery and pain had imperialism intertwined his life and body.

Ants Canal furthermore notes that in the northern part of Arabia, the Shumu'ilu tribes were known as Shama'il, and in West Semitic, the name is rendered as Yishma'el, dating back to the 3rd millennium BCE.


One of Ishmael's sons, according to the Bible and the Quran, is Kedar, who gave rise to the Kedarite tribes, specifically the Arabs with whom the Israelites interacted the most. The Kedarites in the Bible are generally described as a semi-nomadic group known for their skills in archery and camel breeding. They are often depicted as living in tents, indicative of a pastoral nomadic lifestyle, and were engaged in trade, especially in the incense trade routes that connected the Arabian Peninsula with the Mediterranean Sea. The most important deities of the Kedarites were Athtar and Allat. They maintained a mostly positive relationship with the Israelites and were largely bilingual, with their second language being Aramaic for trade purposes, making them culturally close to the Israelites.


Coming back to the story of Abraham, although we lack historical evidence to verify his existence, Abraham may represent a profound reality of his era. Indeed, by 2000 BCE, after thousands of years of glory, the Sumerian civilization was in decline, with the city of Ur standing as the last vestige of its ancient splendor. The Sumerians, overwhelmed by the invasion of the Amorites from the East, found themselves assimilated by these invaders. Once in power, the Amorites established the Babylonian Empire, absorbing the Sumerian identity into itself once and for all. The Sumerians, who had managed this land in freedom for so many millennia, now accused their deities of not having protected them, or even of being false, because if their gods had been true, they would not have been overwhelmed by the Amorites.


Thus, the Sumerians had lost their land, and the only way to rebuild everything would be to do so somewhere else, wherever a new, true god would allow it and protect them. And this god could not be the thousands of weak deities like the idols that Terah was crafting, but had to be only one omnipotent god, always present, and always there to protect them, near to his worshippers. Therefore, the story of Abraham might reflect a reality that had existed for millennia in the Middle East, a signal of the loss of faith in the traditional polytheistic deities, a phenomenon that occurred whenever a civilization was on the brink of collapse. Whenever a civilization would collapse, the people lost the trust in their gods, leading to the search for an increasingly more powerful god who could protect them and unify them.


This situation occurred with the Philistines, a group likely of Greek origin, who settled alongside the Israelites in the land of Canaan during the Bronze Age collapse. Initially worshipping Greek gods, the Philistines, forced to flee their homeland, ended up losing faith in their deities. Consequently, the Philistines, feeling abandoned by their native deities, adopted the gods common to the other peoples of Canaan, the land that offered them refuge. The story of Abraham accurately reflects the condition of the Philistines. In the Middle East, the Philistines were the most powerful and most powerful of the Philistines. During that era, Arabia had been in a prolonged phase of disorder and anarchy that compromised the security of trade routes. The interference of foreign powers such as the Romans and Sassanids, together with the arrival of the Jewish refugees, gave rise to deep religious and political divisions.


These circumstances forced the Arab tribes to choose sides and allies to support. Jewish influence was dominant in southern Arabia, while Christian missionaries were converting the rest of the Arabian Peninsula. On the eve of Islam, traditional Arab polytheism was in rapid decline, swiftly being replaced by the growing adherence to foreign monotheistic faiths such as Judaism and Christianity. The scarcity of pagan temples in major cities like Mecca and Medina demonstrates how much polytheism had lost its social influence, now confined to the private sphere. Just as Abraham's search for God was stimulated by the collapse of his civilization following the arrival of the Amorites. Arabs, too, began to reject idolatry, influenced by the increasing presence of Judaism and Christianity in the Arabian Peninsula. Arabs started to view Abraham as a hero to admire and emulate, identifying with him.


This shift occurred because the Arab polytheistic deities, similar to the Mesopotamian ones in the story of Abraham, were perceived as incapable of protecting the Arabs from the increasing influence of foreign powers. The Arab-Israeli Conflict Among the Arabs most eager for change was the group known as Hanif, monotheistic Arabs, among whom Muhammad stood out. Rather than opposing the spread of Judaism and Christianity in the Arabian Peninsula, the Hanifs chose to embrace both faiths. They began to align with Jews and Christians against the polytheists, incorporating the principles of these two religions into the emerging monotheistic religion of Islam, while still retaining a distinct Arab identity.

The hills of Safa and Marwa near the Kaaba, where pagans performed tawaf in honor of the deities Esaf and Nailah, were reinterpreted.


This new practice for Muslims was connected to the Abrahamic story of Hagar's desperate search for water in the desert for her son Ishmael. The concept of submission underwent a fundamental change in orientation, from obedience in nature and its deities to the obedience to the soul deity Allah. Ramadan, originally celebrated to show respect for nature to obtain more water and food, was now dedicated solely to the worship of Allah. The tawaf, whose circular movement aimed to synchronize the believers with the movement of the planets and stars to influence the seasons and bring rain, was reinterpreted. The tawaf, whose circular movement aimed to synchronize as a reminder to center one's life on the obedience to Allah. Consequently, the pilgrimage of Hajj took on a new meaning.


It became a rite of purification from sins, performed exclusively around the house of Allah. From the Christian tradition, Islam adopted numerous concepts, except for the crucifixion of Jesus. During the time of Muhammad, many Arab Christians, criticized by the Jews who believed it was impossible for their god to die on a cross, thus denying Jesus' divinity, ended up embracing docetism. This theological stance argues that Jesus did not truly die or suffer on the cross, but only appeared to do so, as an allusion to the believers. Numerous Islamic concepts originate from the Jewish tradition, including mythical beings such as the Leviathan and the Behemoth, as well as prophets and daily rituals. Initially, Muhammad directed his followers to pray towards the city of Jerusalem.


However, after moving from Mecca to Medina, and being mocked for the first time by Jews for his interpretation of the Torah, he decided to change the Qibla, the direction of prayer, from Jerusalem to Mecca. The concept of Jumu'ah, the Islamic day of rest and congregation, similar to the Jewish Sabbath, likely stems from the Jewish merchants in Arabia who held the market on Friday, enabling them to observe the Sabbath on Saturday. Therefore, the day chosen for Jumu'ah in Islam aligns with the pre-Islamic Jewish market day, a day of gathering at the market, already familiar to the local population. Finally, it would be a mistake to assume that the desire for such radical change in Arabia was exclusive to Muhammad. The history of pre-Islamic Arabia is filled with prophets.


During Muhammad's time, in fact, there was another prophet named Masai Lema, who, similarly, attempted to carry significant reforms to Arabia. Masai Lema proposed reducing the daily prayers to three, and the daily prayers were reduced to three. The Prophet Muhammad, on the other hand, said that the Prophet Muhammad was the most powerful, instead of the five dictated by Muhammad; he criticized polygamy while tolerating extramarital sex, and advocated for abandoning supernatural interpretations in favor of rational explanations for the unknown. Of course, Prophet Masai Lema was killed by the followers of Prophet Muhammad, and his reforms never took hold, but perhaps this is precisely how we should view prophets, as the founding fathers of their nation's identities. 2. The Prophets Kings, much like prophets, declared themselves to be be chosen by God.


The distinction between prophets and kings, however, lies that, while the latter claimed divine origins to dominate their subjects, prophets were ordinary men who, with compelling ideas, captivated vast numbers of common people like themselves. They were so persuasive of their beliefs that they provided these masses of common people with a figure to identify with, themselves. Simply put, a prophet is chosen, a king is not. This explains why Islam expanded across all corners of Arabia within just a decade, although it appeared very different on the surface. To the Arabs, it somehow felt very familiar at the same time.

8 Stunning Linguistic Miracles of The Holy Quran

8 Stunning Linguistic Miracles of The Holy Quran


How to Start a New Sentence Allah says in Surah Al-Muddathir, وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ The wow in the beginning is like the English capital letter. Like when you start a new sentence, you begin with capital letter. In Arabic, wow can be used for many things, over 21 things. One of them is, to start a new sentence. So you can think of the wow in the beginning as a new sentence. The rest of the ayah says, رَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ Now listen to this carefully. What's the first letter you hear when I say رَبَّكَ? What's the first letter of the Arabic alphabet that you hear? Everybody heard the ر? رَبَّكَ Now listen for the last letter. رَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ What's the last letter you heard? Okay. Now listen carefully for the second letter. رَبَّكَ رَبَّكَ What's the second letter?


رَبَّكَ رَبَّكَ بَ Listen for the second last letter. رَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ What's the second last letter? بَ رَبَّكَ What's the third letter? كَفْ رَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ What's the third last letter? You notice something? It's spelled backwards and forwards the same way. It's spelled backwards and forwards the same way. In English literature we call this a palindrome. Something that spells backwards and forwards the same way. Like Bob or race car. Race car is an interesting palindrome in English. Allah gave our Messenger words that he didn't write down. وَمَا تَخُطُّهُ بِيَمِينِكَ Allah tells him. You didn't write anything down with your hand. You don't know how to write. So this is entirely an oral exercise for the Messenger. صلى الله عليه وسلم And once he says something, he doesn't edit it. He doesn't correct it.


That's it. Allah revealed it and that's it. There's no, I didn't mean to say that. Let me change the way I said it, etc. etc. Right? It's exactly the way Allah instructed him to recite. The challenge for mankind is, you see, the ayah, the simple translation of the ayah would be, Declare the greatness only of your Lord. That would be a simple translation of, وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّر Try to say, Declare the greatness only of your Lord, in English, or French, or German, or Japanese, or Chinese, or Italian, or Russian, or Urdu, or Farsi. You pick the language. Say it so that it spells backwards and forwards the same way. And say it so you only have one attempt orally. No writing down, no looking up in dictionaries. How possible is that? Subhanallah. I can translate the ayah, but could I translate the miracle in English? If you tell me, Declare the greatness only of your Lord, you get some of the message, but do you get the miracle? You don't get the miracle. The miracle of Quran is in the Arabic language. And this is just one small example. The Quran, every ayah has its own miracle.


In one place in Surah Al-Ahzab, in Surah number 33, this is easy to appreciate. He says, 'I'll recite the Arabic first,' مَا جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ قَلْبَيْنِ فِي جَوْفِهِ Allah, the one to be worshipped and obeyed, did not place two hearts inside of any man. I'll say that again, Allah did not place two hearts inside of any, what did I say? Man. So obviously, who's being excluded here? Women are. Now if he said, he didn't place two hearts inside of any human being, now that would have been inclusive, wouldn't it been? But he used the word رَجُل, which is exclusive of women, it's specifically referring to men. And what's even more peculiar is the rest of the passage deals with women. It's very interesting.


The rest of it deals with spouses and all of that, but the first part of it is particularly assigned to men. The other thing that's also peculiar, and I want you to remember, is that when hearts are mentioned, now where are hearts located? In the chest. And this is actually a figure of speech used in the Qur'an all the time. الْقُلُوبُ الَّتِي فِي الصُّدُورِ Hearts that are in the chests. In other words, the Qur'an commonly mentions that the hearts are placed inside the chest. But in this particular ayah, I'm not going to say verse, ayah, instead of saying he didn't put two hearts inside the chest of any man, he used the word جَوْف, which refers to the entire body. It's not a restrictive term to the chest, he said anywhere inside of him, he did not place two hearts. Now this is the two peculiarities I wanted to bring to your attention. And this is kind of obvious. Because a woman can get pregnant. And if she does, she can have two or more hearts. But when she has those two hearts, they're not in her chest. But they are inside of her. So جَوْف is more appropriate. Subtlety in language.


I'm going to talk to you about the biggest surah of the Qur'an. That's what I'm going to talk to you about first, the biggest surah of the Qur'an. Now what is it folks? Yeah, this is surah number two. Surah number two. This surah, this biggest surah, number two, is made up of how many ayahs? 286. 286 ayahs. Somewhere in this surah, the ayah occurs. I'll recite the Arabic first and roughly translate after. وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا Thus we made you a middle nation. One of the utterances in this Surah that's found in here is thus we made you a middle nation. Now what's the Arabic word for middle? Wasat. The Arabic word is wasat. You don't have to know that. But know that this statement, this declaration occurs in this.


This Surah, was it written or was it delivered in the form of speech? Speech. And also, as a historical comment, it wasn't delivered at once. It took almost ten years to be revealed. So this one Surah was coming piecemeal. And while it was coming down, pieces of other Surahs were also being revealed. And the messenger would instruct his companions, these Ayahs belong to this Surah and those Ayahs belong to that Surah. But when the whole thing is said and done, Baqarah, the second Surah, is made up of two hundred and eighty-six, and in Ayah number, listen to this carefully now, in Ayah number one forty-three, in Ayah number one forty-three, the Lord says, we made you a middle nation. How many Ayahs in this Surah again? Two eighty-six.


And where does he call us a middle nation? In the middle. In the middle. Now how do you, I understand if you're going to do this in writing. I understand if you're going to do this in writing. How do you do this in speech? And by the way, at the time, there was no concept of Ayah number. Like I told you, Ayahs, there are two hundred and eighty-six Ayahs, and there's a hundred and forty-three Ayahs. At the time, they never said, haven't you read Ayah twelve? Of chapter thirty-five? They didn't talk like that. They just recited the Ayah, they didn't have this number scheme. When did this number scheme become part of the Qur'an? When the Qur'an was finally put into book form. But the generation were talking about it. Doesn’t have a book before them. They don’t have that before them. They’re memorizing this, and it's completely and entirely an oral tradition. So that’s one small example.


The nobility given to Jesus in the Quran. I'll give you one remarkable example of it. Which nation was Moses sent to? The Israelites. Everybody knows that? The Israelites. Who's the original audience of Jesus? The same nation or no? The Israelites also? Yes. Okay. Now, surah number 61, Asaf. There's one ayah dedicated to Moses addressing his nation. And the next ayah is dedicated to Jesus addressing his nation. Keeping in mind that both of them, even though there's a big time gap between them, essentially are addressing which nation? The Israelites. They're the same nation. Okay. Now listen carefully. And when Moses said to his nation, 'When Moses said to his nation, begin quote, My nation! Addressing them with what words? What was the first words used to address them? My nation.


يَا قَوْمِهِ My nation. Okay. Let's come to what Jesus said. وَإِذْ قَالَ عِيسَىٰ بْنُ مَرْيَمَ When Jesus, the son of Mary, said, يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلِ Sons of Israel. Sons of Israel. Now what did he not say? What did Moses say that Jesus didn't say? Okay, so Moses says my nation, but Jesus says, Sons of Israel. Now, sons of Israel is another term used for the Israelites, isn't it? Or the children of Israel. You know what we learned from that? In Semitic tradition, and in Arab tradition, as was carried originally by Abraham also, identity was given by the father. The nation itself is named after who? Not the mother, but the father. Israel, himself. And actually, in the Quran, all of humanity are called children of, not Eve, but Adam.


Because identity, nation, is defined by the father. And this is natural in most societies, the last name is given through the father. The father's name is acquired, even though there are exceptions. Now, what I'm trying to get at is, to be from a nation, your father should be from that nation. Isn't that obvious? To be from a nation, it's only expected that your father should be from that nation. So when Moses says, 'my nation', what's he actually saying? That my father is from among you. But Jesus, never in the Quran do we find him say, 'my nation'. Never. Every time he addresses them, what does he say? Sons of Israel. Now, why would he never say, 'my nation'? Because he doesn't have a father. He's a miraculous birth of the Virgin Mary. The Quran refuses to accept a human father for Jesus, saying, sons of Israel. Subhanallah.


Shuaib Alayhis Salaam Shuaib Alayhis Salaam, you know he's a messenger, right? Okay? Now as a messenger, Alayhis Salaam, he is mentioned numerous times in the Qur'an. Allah Azza wa Jal says to us, وَإِلَىٰ مَدْيَنَ أَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًا To Madian, we sent their brother, Shuaib. We sent their brother, Shuaib. Now, what I want to tell you is, what is the name of the nation to which he belonged? Madian. Now Madian is the name of two things at the same time. You got to remember this, okay? Madian is two things. Madian is the name of a place, and it's the name of a people. The people are called Madian, and the place is also called Madian. And Allah says to Madian, we sent their brother, Shuaib.


In Surah Al-Shu'ara, Surah number 26, Allah Azza wa Jal gives us, the stories of different prophets. He says, إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ لُوطٌ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ صَالِحٌ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ حُودٌ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ نُوحٌ When their brother Nuh said to them, when their brother Nuh said to them, said to his nation. The next story goes to another prophet. When their brother Salih said to them, to his own nation. Then it goes to Hud. When their brother Hud, said to them. Then when their brother Salih, Nuh, Hud, and Lut, four of them. Their brother, their brother, their brother, their brother. The fifth one mentioned is Shu'ayb. Allah says when Shu'ayb said to them. He just says, 'If qala lahum Shu'aybun', when Shu'ayb says to them.


With all the other prophets in that very surah, what did he say? Their brother Nuh, their brother Salih, their brother Lut, their brother Hud. But when it came to Shu'ayb he said, 'Shu'ayb, no brother.' What's really interesting is other places in the Quran Allah says, 'wa ila madiyana', like I told you, 'wa ila madiyana akhaahum Shu'ayba.' To Madian especially we sent their brother Shu'ayb. In the surah in which everybody was declared the brother of their nation, you would expect that when Shu'ayb's turn comes. What are you going to see? Their brother. But the word brother is taken out. It's the only one that's been taken out. Everybody else retained. And what we find that's really interesting is right before, remember the nation to which he was sent, what was their name?


Our Activities

يَا قَوْمِهِ My nation. Okay. Let's come to what Jesus said. وَإِذْ قَالَ عِيسَىٰ بْنُ مَرْيَمَ When Jesus, the son of Mary, said, يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلِ Sons of Israel. Sons of Israel. Now what did he not say? What did Moses say that Jesus didn't say? Okay, so Moses says my nation, but Jesus says, Sons of Israel. Now, sons of Israel is another term used for the Israelites, isn't it? Or the children of Israel. You know what we learned from that? In Semitic tradition, and in Arab tradition, as was carried originally by Abraham also, identity was given by the father. The nation itself is named after who? Not the mother, but the father. Israel, himself. And actually, in the Quran, all of humanity are called children of, not Eve, but Adam.


Because identity, nation, is defined by the father. And this is natural in most societies, the last name is given through the father. The father's name is acquired, even though there are exceptions. Now, what I'm trying to get at is, to be from a nation, your father should be from that nation. Isn't that obvious? To be from a nation, it's only expected that your father should be from that nation. So when Moses says, 'my nation', what's he actually saying? That my father is from among you. But Jesus, never in the Quran do we find him say, 'my nation'. Never. Every time he addresses them, what does he say? Sons of Israel. Now, why would he never say, 'my nation'? Because he doesn't have a father. He's a miraculous birth of the Virgin Mary. The Quran refuses to accept a human father for Jesus, saying, sons of Israel. Subhanallah.


Shuaib Alayhis Salaam Shuaib Alayhis Salaam, you know he's a messenger, right? Okay? Now as a messenger, Alayhis Salaam, he is mentioned numerous times in the Qur'an. Allah Azza wa Jal says to us, وَإِلَىٰ مَدْيَنَ أَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًا To Madian, we sent their brother, Shuaib. We sent their brother, Shuaib. Now, what I want to tell you is, what is the name of the nation to which he belonged? Madian. Now Madian is the name of two things at the same time. You got to remember this, okay? Madian is two things. Madian is the name of a place, and it's the name of a people. The people are called Madian, and the place is also called Madian. And Allah says to Madian, we sent their brother, Shuaib.


In Surah Al-Shu'ara, Surah number 26, Allah Azza wa Jal gives us, the stories of different prophets. He says, إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ لُوطٌ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ صَالِحٌ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ حُودٌ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ نُوحٌ When their brother Nuh said to them, when their brother Nuh said to them, said to his nation. The next story goes to another prophet. When their brother Salih said to them, to his own nation. Then it goes to Hud. When their brother Hud, said to them. Then when their brother Salih, Nuh, Hud, and Lut, four of them. Their brother, their brother, their brother, their brother. The fifth one mentioned is Shu'ayb. Allah says when Shu'ayb said to them. He just says, 'If qala lahum Shu'aybun', when Shu'ayb says to them.


With all the other prophets in that very surah, what did he say? Their brother Nuh, their brother Salih, their brother Lut, their brother Hud. But when it came to Shu'ayb he said, 'Shu'ayb, no brother.' What's really interesting is other places in the Quran Allah says, 'wa ila madiyana', like I told you, 'wa ila madiyana akhaahum Shu'ayba.' To Madian especially we sent their brother Shu'ayb. In the surah in which everybody was declared the brother of their nation, you would expect that when Shu'ayb's turn comes. What are you going to see? Their brother. But the word brother is taken out. It's the only one that's been taken out. Everybody else retained. And what we find that's really interesting is right before, remember the nation to which he was sent, what was their name?


Madian. They have another name called Ashabul Ayka. It's a longer name. Ashabul Ayka means the people of Al-Ayka. Ayka was a giant tree that they used to worship. The name of that tree was Ayka. So they were known by their religious name too. Their religious identity was the people of Al-Ayka. The fact that he was born in Madian, that he belonged to the city of Madian, that his race was a Midian race, right? One of the Arabs. Because of that, by race and by region, he is their brother. So Allah says to Madian we sent their brother Shu'ayb. But when it comes, when Allah mentions them not as the people of Madian but the people of Al-Ayka, that tree. Allah is speaking to them that they are the people of Madian.


And when it comes to their religion, is he their brother? No. So when Allah mentions their religion, he says when Shu'ayb said to them no brother. By removing the brother from that context in particular, what has been highlighted? What's been highlighted is there is no brotherhood when it comes to conflict in deen. That goes away. It's very profound, precise usage. Because what we are told to expect is that there is no brotherhood. In fact, case after case after case in Surah Al-Shu'ara is akhaahum, akhoohum, akhoohum, akhoohum, akhoohum, and all of a sudden the omission of akhoohum. Precision. And you could see why that precision took place.


You know that both the names you see on the screen Yathrib and Medina Are they names of the same city? Sure, The Quran speaks about the city of Medina with the word Medina many times. But it only uses Yathrib once, and that's in Surah Al-Ahzab. That's it; there's no other place where Yathrib is used in the Quran. By the way, both are names of Medina. So you could argue from the devil's advocate point of view: Hey, they mean the same thing, right? So why don't I just change Yathrib to what? Medina? Or why don't I change Medina to Yathrib? You guys keep talking about Quran is perfect; intricate word choice. You guys know too that Yathrib and Medina is the same thing. So why not put one in the other's place?


What's the big deal? What difference does it make? This is a study more so of history: Before the Prophet arrived, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, in Medina what was its name? Yathrib. After he came to the city, He was unanimously declared The leader of that city And the city was coined Medinaatun Nabi, The city of The Prophet For short, the city Medina is short for what? The city of The Prophet. Because literally Medina means what? The city. So Medina's nickname is Medina. Actually that's the nickname. The actual name is Yathrib. Or you can think of it like this: Before the Prophet came, It was Yathrib. After he came, it is Medina. But what's interesting is Surah Al-Ahzab, Surah number 33. Actually uses Medina And uses Yathrib. Same surah.


And what's interesting on top of that is Surah Al-Ahzab is a Medini surah. What do you know about Medini surahs? What was the name of the surah? What was the name of the Prophet in Medini surahs? He was in Medina so already the city should have been called what? Medina But we see the word Yathrib You see the riddle here, right? Now, here's the thing: Medina was short for Medinatun Nabi City of the Prophet. When Medina was surrounded by enemy forces, some Jewish tribes got together. They came and they convinced the Quraysh to come back and rally. After the loss of Uhud, after the loss of Uhud, they went around and made alliances with smaller tribes. And turned it into a massive army that surrounded the entire city of Medina.


The city of Medina was being held hostage for weeks on end. This scary situation was even worsened because people on the inside – there were people on the inside that were Muslims. But some of them were only Muslim by name, and actually, there wasn't really Iman in their hearts. What's that group called? The Munafiqun, the hypocrites, right? Now, some of these hypocrites before the Prophet came, they were the leaders of what city? They were the leaders of Yathrib. When the Prophet came, they had to give up their positions. They had to give up their leadership. Because now who's the leader by default? Muhammad, When they were surrounded, They saw it as an opportunity To rally the forces and say, 'Look what his leadership got us into, Right?' So they say,


They said, 'Oh people of Yathrib, There's no place left for you. Let's go back. Go back to what? Let's go back to making it Yathrib again. Let's go back to the way things were Before the Prophet had leadership.' By using the word Yathrib You know what they exposed? Their true allegiance. Because if they acknowledge the messenger of Allah As their leader, What word would they have used? Medina. So just by using that word Allah caught their word Exposed it in the Quran. And what we learn from that is Their allegiances, their aspirations were Oh one day it'll be back to Yathrib again It won't be Medina anymore. This becomes even more evident More clear, clearer When we go to other places Surah Munafiqun, the surah dedicated to who? The hypocrites.


Now the surah dedicated to the hypocrites is interesting, it begins with The hypocrites going out of their way to show allegiance to the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. They go out of their way to show allegiance to Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. When the hypocrites come to you, whenever they come to you, they say, 'Oh, we bear witness! No doubt you are certainly The Messenger of Allah.' Now, the Muslim doesn't have to say that to the Messenger every time; only when he converts, right? When he accepts it, then he says it. Otherwise, he knows he's the Messenger of Allah. But if you're trying to compensate for something you're feeling on the inside – like a child who says 'I didn't do it' by the way – and you say, 'What did you not do?' Right?


It's the guilty conscience that speaks. It's the guilty conscience that makes them say 'We really believe you're the messenger of Allah.' And in that surah, to show their allegiance. On the outside, they said 'La irraja'na ilal medina La yukhrijanna al a'azm Amin hal adhan.' They said 'when we return to Madinah.' Because they were trying to show their allegiance. But when it came to desperate times in Surah Al-Ahzab The wrong word came out of their mouth And their true allegiances were exposed. Al-Fatihah Look at this ayah لَلشَّمْسُ يَنْبَغِي لَهَا أَدْدُرِكَ الْقَمَرُ وَلَلَّيْلُ سَابِقُ النَّهَارُ وَكُلٌّ فِي فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ. Allah speaks of all heavenly bodies Each of them in their own assigned space They are floating, swimming, rotating What's He speaking about? Bodies in space, planets, stars, galaxies. He's speaking about all of them doing what?


Rotating Spell out the first words كُلٌّ فِي فَلَكٍ What's the first letter in كُلٌّ فِي فَلَكٍ? What's the last letter? What's the first letter? What's the second, last and second? What's the third, last and third? You notice something? What are they rotating around? What letter are they rotating around? The word He used for rotating يَسْبَحُونَ SubhanAllah How do you do that? How do human beings come up with that? Allah speaks and this is not written form This is not written word This is spoken word Allah gave this Quran to the Messenger So he would recite it unto the people So he would recite it as a word We are baffled even the way it's spelled Even the way it's written But it was baffling Mind-boggling Stunning Really stunning In its perfected form


Allah says, when my slave asks you about me, I am near, no doubt about it. Now listen to the rough, coarse English translation. When my slave asks you about me, then I am certainly near. Who's you? Slave asks you about me, then I am near. Who's the word you referring to? The Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Okay, so who's asking who? Who's asking who? Think about it. Allah's slave, a believer, is asking the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So who's gonna answer if the Prophet is asked? Who should answer? The Prophet should answer. So if the slave asks the Prophet about Allah, the Prophet should say, Allah is near, yes? He should say, Allah is near. Look at this.


The ayah, the expected language of the ayah was, إِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَقُلْ لَهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَرِيبٌ When my slave asks you about me, then say to him that Allah is near. Or say to him that I am near. What happens in the ayah in fact is, when my slave asks you about me, he asks you about me, I'll talk to him directly. I am near. Allah didn't even give the answer through the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. The question came through the Prophet. The answer, Allah says, I am so near to you, I'll talk to you directly. إِنِّي قَرِيبٌ No doubt about it, I'm near. I'm so near, I can just talk to you. Subhanallah.


ASK ALLAH THE IMPOSSIBLE ! POWERFUL.m4a

call out to Him for your needs. In fact, call out to Him for that which you are able to do. You know He's given you the capacity to do you are almost certain that you're going to do it before you actually do it? Call out to Allah, oh Allah, make it easy for me. Let me do it. Let me achieve it. Let me do this. Let me do that. You know when we enter the motor vehicle in the morning another example of cars you want to go to work, you want to drop the kids off at school, you want to go and do whatever you have to in terms of errands. What do you do? Don't as a believer believe you should supplicate to Allah?

Oh Allah, I'm leaving my home, I'm leaving It's fully trusting in You, Oh Allah, Oh Allah. I'm on this ride; I ask You to protect me. Why do You do that when You know You have the capacity and ability and You're going to drive carefully and so on? Because a believer knows that Allah is in control, Allah is in control. That's why even if I know that it's easy to achieve that, I will call out to Allah and leave it in His hands. Then, if something happens, it becomes a blessing from Allah. For example, I read my dua, entered the motor vehicle, and I went or I read my dua as I left the home, Bismillah. Something happened a thief might have come, or I may have made an accident.

Take it in Your stride, You. Made your du'a, you trusted in Allah. This was the plan of Allah for what Wallahi liyan! That's all. Just look at how... What are you going to do? We made sure it happened. What are you going to do? Are you going to thank Him that you didn't break bones and are you going to thank Him that you're still alive? Or are you going to be from among those who comes out of your vehicle and swears at everyone, and pretends like you are the big boss of Earth? Then who won and who lost? Calm down, O son of Adam. You are only just a son of Adam. Remember, calm down, chill! As we would say, relax. May Allah grant us humbleness and rationality so that we can understand what makes.

allah difficult when we look for the right result so when the most important person is this position then you act to the core of allah when we act in allah specially we say allah what's in my heart needs making a decision is ig look at your behavior but mana of god he滿 ALLAH your research part casa allah has never copyrighted to any body ever been elevated by allah subhanahu wata'ala mix pride up with that which is enjoying the favor of Allah within the limit of Allah so they say oh messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam we have our conveyances our homes and so on in our life today we would say I got a nice car nice house you know A luxurious place, what about all of that?

I got beautiful perfume maybe whatever it might be upon him) says that's it's not pride to have ownership, pride is when you despise people, you look down and belittle. I got they don't come on you sound like a fool, man, don't say that! Enjoy what Allah has blessed you with, Alhamdulillah, humble, come for Salah, greet people, talk to people, Mashallah, smile with them, interact with them to the best of your ability. I know as time is passing the quality of person seems to be deteriorating, it's a sign of Kiyamah, you may want to interact With less people, no problem. But remember when you do interact with anyone, make sure it's a pleasant interaction. They see you; you interact with him. Alhamdulillah, the pride that the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam spoke about.

He says, 'When you deny the truth when you deny, when you are really a person whom the verses of Allah are recited to you, the instruction of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is in front of you; you just deny it. Blank, I it's I disagree that's pride or the truth comes to you in any matter and you deny it, knowing that this is the truth. I am denied that is pride, that is what pride is. And secondly, To despise people when you utter bad words to anyone, pride that's what it is. Be careful. Strengthen us now if we call out to Allah for our needs. I spoke about that which you may think might never happen. If you have true hope and you know your Lord, Wallahi, He can do it for you.

I know people terminally ill, they were told, 'You have a few days remaining.' True story. Something happened, and I went to see this person, and I actually started giving them what is called, you know, end-of-life advice, some few words to say: don't worry, in Allah we will meet Allah; we all will have good hope. Allah looks at these the repentance good words that you've uttered. Allah will always judge you by your repentance, not by the deeds. We've all made mistakes and errors, and we need to have hope; we need to continue to do good. That's what we tell people, and we're telling everyone the same thing: don't be despondent. If you're going to go, go with a smile. You were prepared, didn't you? You sought the forgiveness of Allah, didn't you?

Then have good hope in Allah. Have a good hope; my Lord is forgiving, my Lord is merciful, my Lord is kind, and my Lord is amazing. I go back to Him, alhamdulillah. I have hope; I've got a few good deeds, and I know He will forgive my shortcomings. A few days later, the tumors that were in this youngster's body started diminishing the doctors had already sent him home a little while later when I visited a few months later he was healthy and walking what happened wallahi they told him you're not going to live dua changes things someone introduced him to a certain medication illegal in some countries but the THC of the cannabis in a way that it was needed in that particular case with a fully alkaline diet to treat these little tumors that were cancerous and subhanallah remember I'm not encouraging or discouraging anything I'm mentioning it it's needed to talk about but the point I'm raising is how something Came about, that started dealing with it.

They couldn't really tell the doctors what's happening because the doctors were saying, 'Wow, look at the miracle! It was a miracle! The guy is living to this day. It's been more than six years, subhanallah.' And they told him, 'Six days, few days, you're gone,' subhanallah. The point I'm raising is: when you call out to Allah, something can happen; anything can happen; someone can introduce you to some medication that will kick in last minute. You know what? You were healthy, mashallah! Everything happened, thank Allah. Call out to Allah. Another point: Allah wants you to call out to Him, he creates an obstacle in your life. Cry to him. You know what's happening to our brothers and sisters in Rafa today, and what's happening to them in different parts of Palestine today.

They are being butchered. Why would Allah, the most merciful, do that to them? We are here; we feel their pain. We cannot sleep; we have to talk about it. My brothers and sisters, Allah wants them and us to do our best to be able to protect them and save them. That we can do. Make dua. Cry to Allah; He is able, He is capable. You are helpless, I am helpless to a degree, but Allah knows. Allah says, 'What is the worst they can do to you?' I want to tell you something. The worst they could do is kill you. What happens to you? You go to Paradise. You either are victorious on the battlefield, so you've won, or if they kill you, you are victorious with martyrdom, so you've won.

A believer has been a believer; nothing evil can happen to a believer in terms of your ultimate, your ultimate ending, because you either get victory on Earth or victory in the hereafter or you have both. Allahu Akbar! So when Allah wants to take a quota of martyrs on Earth, he's written their names in advance. People are fortunate that they're martyred at times, because Allah has their rank in mind. Allah says the prophets, in Jannah and on the day of judgment, and the truthful ones, and the pious ones, in the middle Allah says, 'and the martyrs.' We put them together, so if they are martyred, they're higher than you and I. Allah chose them for challenges but in the interim, the dua, the supplication: may Allah grant them victory; may Allah grant them protection by His power, by His mercy; may the tables turn; may they be victorious and achieve what they need to achieve.

I mean, call out to Allah; don't lose hope; don't let someone convince you that 'if Allah's merciful, why is this happening?' What's the ultimate end? The ultimate end is death. Where do I go after death? Wallahi. If I die here and now today, it's a mercy of Allah if He gives me Jannah and Paradise. Same applies to you. Don't worry about what's going to be left on Earth, because that worry will be there even if you're 90 years old; it's not going to go away. If Allah takes me now, I'm prepared to go, on condition that Insha'Allah He gives me Paradise. Now that's a tough one, because I don't know for certain, but I have hope in Allah, and my hope is certain. There we are, having hope.

So, what if I have to go? What about oh my lovely people all around me? It's okay; everyone has lovely people. May Allah Almighty bless us. We don't have much time otherwise. I would have gone into deeper examples, but my point here today is simple: we are about to commence the days that are the most blessed days, the best of the days of the year, the 10 days of Dhul Hijjah. Declare the praise of Allah; praise Him a lot. Read more Quran; seek the forgiveness from Allah. Don't forget call out to Allah, supplicate, ask Him for things you know you can do, and things you know you cannot do. Ask Him for the impossible, having hope my Lord can do it, and Allah will bless you through that hope.

Allah will give you Paradise, your status is raised; and you know what? When you're calling out to Allah, when you're calling out to Allah when you're calling out to Allah How can you be a person who doesn't say 'how' can you be a person who is transgressing clearly voluntarily against the same Lord you're asking a favor from? What that would mean is, he's tapping you to say, just change your ways, change your habits, change your way. You need something right. We created the need; we can meet it. Change your ways it's a tapping. Don't you agree? In our lives, sometimes negative things have happened. What did we do? We became initially we might have thought, 'I can sort it out'; I can do this.

When we couldn't do anything about it, and time passed, we came to the masjid; we started crying to Allah. Our life changed; we started praying what was that that was a favor of Allah my beloved brothers and sisters be happy for others don't be envious and jealous and speak nicely to people no matter what and respect all types of people don't just be biased and just honor and give salam to the rich ones and neglect the poor ones no be neutral be nice be kind to everyone Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala loves the person who is well-mannered so have best character and conduct and prepare for Jannah work towards Jannah that is our ultimate destination and for that you can do it. Supplicate to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

Allah loves when you make dua to Allah, when you cry to Allah, when you beg to Allah, when you ask Allah says, 'Udu'ooni astajib lakum.' Call me, I'll respond to your call. So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is waiting for you to turn towards Him and ask Allah. You can do the impossible things that might seem impossible to you. there is nothing for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is so simple thing for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala it's impossible thing are the ones that you should ask and all these impossible things that you think impossible are all possible for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and ask Allah from your shoelace to your biggest of dreams whatever you can do ask that also to ask Allah to help you in that and ask for the impossible too. Because Allah says be and it is. Remember when Allah gives you don't become arrogant and don't utilize the wealth of Allah to displease him. Make him happy with the wealth that he has given you. A person with mustard seed amount of arrogance will not enter Jannah. So be very careful about being arrogant and haughty and proud person. Be a humble person. Be a respectful person with the best character and conduct.
