first the idea of the Quran as the
miracle of Islam Islam is is fascinating
in that we have before us the miracle of
the Prophet sallallahu sanim and like
the miracles that we read about in the
Quran that are taken based on faith such
as the miracle of moosa a.s a time when
he thrust down his staff and it became a
haya a snake and the miracle of the ISA
is to them who brought the living to the
dead or dead to the living or the bird
that he fashioned from clay and then it
was given life by the power of Allah
these are miracles that people
experienced at that time and some people
would contend that they have a type of
what's called tolet or or because
there's such a vast chain of
transmission of these miracles that they
can be accepted on that value but we
would believe in them because they're
mentioned in the Quran but the Quran
itself is the miracle of the Prophet
this is the triumphant miracle that the
prophets alighted some was given one of
the poets put it best when he said a
hookah ISA that a matin for Carmela your
brother isa al salam he called the dead
and they became they answered him and
they stood up one Tov Gaeta
as Yellin mine'll Adam II but you have
brought generations back to life the
prophet sallallaahu Slim's miracle is
that his book is with us to this day
track to thicken and rainy Matta
mastectomy hemolymph illumined by the
abbe de Quito Allah was from the sea I
have left two things with you as long as
you adhere to them cling to them hold to
them you will never go straight The Book
of Allah and
sooner and the sooner is in reality an
explanation of the book of Allah it is
an explanation of the book of Allah the
prophet saww license life is a tough
sear a commentary on the Book of Allah
so beautifully articulated by Aisha when
she was asked how was the character of
before the prophets Eliza me she said
Kenneth Oppel Quran his character was
the Quran were in the katana horican
oven you are on a vast character a vast
ethos the Quran can be really summed up
in one statement that even Jews a says
in his table Sarah says here he says
that it is the call of creation the
invitation of the creation to the
worship of al Haq the truth which is
Allah subhana WA Ta'ala now this
invitation is exactly that it is is an
invitation Dawa in the Islamic tradition
is an invitation we invite people we
have never historically have never
outside of the arabian peninsula have
never forced anyone to become muslim
this is historically documented nowhere
has a Muslim held a sword over
somebody's head outside of the arabian
peninsula and say become a muslim or you
die this is simply falsification of
history other religions have been
notoriously known for doing that the
muslims have never done that and the
reason that they have
then that is because the power-on is an
invitation it's a gala
the Muslims know what that one means it
means literally to invite a druid a
sevillio bigger better hikmah one more
that that has a call invite to the way
of your Lord in the best way with wisdom
and in the best exhaustion the best
exhortation this is the message that
Islam has gone out and spread to people
so if we look at the Quran as a
invitation it is a Dawa we can see there
is a beautiful hadith that articulates
this and gives a different nuance to
this idea the Quran is the medulla of
Allah subhana WA Ta'ala in the creation
in this earth
dooba in the Arabic language means a
place it theirs to rewire two
transmissions one is Madiba and one is
Madiba the medulla is a banquet in which
a king sets forth and invites those
worthy of the invitation to his banquet
and they must have the proper and
requisite Edel in order to enter into
the the tent of the king and this the
Quran is the banquet of Allah subhana WA
Ta'ala in his earth the other area which
is also sound calls it Madiba
if you look at the word matter but it is
what they call ISM I can in the Arabic
language it's the place where one
acquires Adele and EDA is that which
makes us human the prophet sallallaahu
sanam said the best of what a parent
gives to his child or her child is a dub
hassle is good at up this is the best
and highest
thing that a human being can give to his
child is good Adam and the prophets
Eliza and in a hadith that is has some
weakness some people called moon car but
it's by the consensus of the Ummah the
the meaning is sound at debonair rugby
Roxanna DB My Lord has given me a dub
and how excellent he made my adapt the
word Arab in Arabic means courtesy and
it's a deep courtesy it's a spiritual
courtesy and this is what the Quran in
it is a place where we learn the
requisite courtesies in order to be
fully human and those courtesies are
beautifully demo kated by our scholars
in the two sections of sip which are a
bad ads when more amal at the courtesies
between the slave and his lord which is
called badet or the acts of worship and
the courtesies between the slave and
creation which are called more amulet or
the human transactions allah subhanho wa
taala has given guidance in both of
these when we look in the the idea of a
Veda a better has two aspects the first
is al-qaeda and the second is a calm
there are peda can be broken off again
into two branches one of the sicknesses
of the age is an obsession with al-qaeda
which in using Western terminology which
would go into the category of what they
call kerygma or rules of which you learn
the updater is not complicated it's
something that can be learned very fast
the update of America Howie is a
beautiful al Qaeda of which the OMA has
agreed upon it can be learned very
quickly but the RP that must be seen as
three essential aspects and all what we
say we say Allah is one we say Allah has
no likeness we say Allah has not give
birth does not give birth these are
aspects of the RK that which we
articulate and then there
Javad a belief in the heart that
al-qaeda must penetrate the heart it
cannot simply remain at the level of
ratiocination at the level of the
intellect it has to transcend the
intellect and enter into the heart and
directly impact the heart and this is
what manifests human behavior at the
level that a Muslim is demanded to show
and this is where the Rp that then
permeates every cell of the body and the
human beings behavior shows that he is a
Muslim that he is a Muslim lonna madona
welcome America we have our actions and
you have our actions it is actions that
deed that distinguish human beings and
nothing else it is the actions which
distinguish human beings based on their
understanding because actions emanate
from understandings and not vice versa
and this is very clearly understood in
modern social sciences and I would
recommend studying the concept of
cognitive dissonance which is a
beautiful a beautiful insight which the
Quran gave us centuries before I haven't
found really any insights in my own
personal studies of modern Sciences
except that I found already either
explicitly articulated in the Quran and
the Sunnah or implicitly understood by
the scholars of Islam who came later if
you look then at what the Quran is the
Quran is is formulated on this this idea
of al-qaeda the other aspect of the
Quran which is from from the account is
how then do we get human beings how does
how does the human being get from a
stage where he is bereft and without
guidance to a stage where not only does
he understand but he is acting according
to the guidance of Allah so Panna with
Donna and this is done in
and with two very important concepts and
you can see the quran beautifully
following this pattern constantly the
first is called Talib and the second is
called Turkey in Turkey what this means
is that Allah calls us to the Book of
Allah and gives us the sound reasons for
following the Deen of Allah Subhan Allah
Tala and the benefits of following the
Deen of Allah and what will happen with
us if we follow the need of Allah the
next aspect is called Tar Heel which is
out of ah
to inspire awe Bravo the prophets are
listening in the hadith beautiful dua
that he made when he went to sleep alone
as them to an FCE take forward after
what he baked
well Chava hurry like another patent wah
but an awake I have surrendered myself
to you I have faced my home have placed
my back in your security and safety
grandpa tell what a habit an awake out
of desire for you and an out of all of
you and these are the do these are the
two sandals that the human being must
have in his life he has to have the
symbol of Raja and he has to have the
sandal of health and so he moves forward
or she moves forward in her life with
the turkey and the toheeb and this is
the balance even Masood said that the
movement is the one who the turkey
vanatter Hebe history they become equal
with him abu hamid al-ghazali of the
Llano preferred the Raja because he said
Raja engendered love and fear engendered
despair if we then look at the aspects
of the Quran there are seven identified
by even josée what are the law and who
in his test he'll the first one is there
are seven knowledge that the Quran
encompasses the first one is illumiroom
via which is the knowledge of lordship
who is
Lord who is Allah subhanAllah to Anna
who is Allah subhana WA Ta'ala Allah
tells us and declares it in the Quran
know that there is no god but allah
subhana wa ta'ala that there are no now
part of the miracle of the Quran and in
the central aspect of it is the Arabic
language the Arabic language is unique
in terms of certainly European languages
it has a unique aspect and that is that
there is no copulative verb to be in
other words when we say in English there
is no god but Allah we use the verb is
which in Arabic does not exist when we
say there is no god but Allah we say la
ilaha illa Allah there is no god but
Allah but we do not use a copy of verb
to be what this enables us to do in
language is to transcend being in other
words there is no conceptual limitations
of allah subhana wa ta'ala when we speak
about allah subhanho wa taala in the
arabic language which exists in the
english language and that is why it is
impossible to say la ilaha mola in any
other language than the Arabic language
the Quran is an Arabic revelation before
it is anything it is revealed in until
now or on an outer billion line the
Kentucky moon the lalala here is in
order that you are it's not a help like
taraji there's different types of line
that here it is it is in order that you
talking on that you become people of
intellect the Arabic language somebody
asked me why should
learn Arabic I said to increase your IQ
to increase your intellect with the
Arabic language by its nature and all
the Arabs that speak Arabic don't fall
into that because they don't speak
Quranic Arabic which is that is the
language that empowers and will
literally give the human being a much
deeper and broader understanding your
your actual understanding of existence
increases with your increase in the
knowledge of Arabic language why because
it is a true language it is a true
language in other words the language is
not simply a symbolic language in which
people have agreed on certain phrases to
use like in the English language we use
the word cat in Arabic to describe cat
or self to describe self if you look at
the actual evolution of the language
there it's these are arbitrary
distinctions in the Arabic language
there is no arbitrariness there we
believe that the Arabic language is part
of Revelation it is a Tulpa via language
that was revealed it is not a language
of which human beings agreed upon and
this is why as you begin to move into
the Arabic language and the meanings of
the Arabic words you will see
conventional understandings of words
that exist when an Arab says nufs he
understands self but if you begin to
actually go into the language itself it
will articulate for you the reality of
nufs you will understand what enough
says if you make it and I'm even though
the bus Cities won the battle I I like
the crew fee school of the grammarians
you have the bus cities and the crew
fees and they used to if they ever got
together they throw sandals at each
other and and in the good old days all
right now we throw bombs at each other
in those days they just used to throw
sandals when they disagree but the crew
fans believe that words the source words
were roots of the verb and the noun
came after and the bus friends believe
that the noun was actually the source
because Allah says that he taught Adam
the SMAN
physical affair
if you look in Arabic if we look to the
verb itself the Arabic word for nuts has
as to possibly more but two words in the
first form there's six what they call
Bab six forms in the in the Arabic first
form or what they call a fool a fever
the two are not ISA empezó
which is on the bab castro patent and
the nephew say enforcer which is bomb
abandon the the neffe scientist who
means to be miserly the Nephilim who so
means to be precious already Allah is
indicating two types of self the
prophets Eliza ham said in in a
beautiful hadith about one of the
monarch Athene when he was asked who's
your savior and they said sayyiduna
so-and-so and it Lannister killer who
except we consider him miserly the
Prophet said well who naked on a diamond
and Bajal is there a disease more sick
than miser leanness because the kaffir
is a miser in reality because he will
not give thanks to Allah subhana WA
Ta'ala out of thanks is easy to give you
know it's like this London taxi cab
driver that I got and he was complaining
about all these Muslims that had come to
London and I won't say from which
countries but they come during the
summer and they take over a place called
Edgware Road and he was going on her and
he would told me the thing that really
bothered him was they never say thank
you right and and I said well it does
exist in their language which means that
it's just they're bad mannered people
just like you have bad men are people in
any culture any language and I I wanted
to tell what comes around goes around I
mean they stole everything in the the
English right stole the whole world and
they never said thank you to anybody for
all the stuff that they took from it
right the colonialists didn't go and
tell that the Afghan 'yes thank you for
letting us steal your country right but
that's another story the but the the
idea of the Bohemian as one aspect of
humanity the other aspect is
preciousness in a feast the nufs itself
it's
primary nature is precious that is why
whoever kills enough it's as if he
killed all of humankind
this is the phonic worldview the nafs is
precious now if you go into the second
form you have naphtha which means to
help other people to alleviate somebody
suffering which is the cream the
generous the preciousness will do this
but then if you move to another type of
transitive verb it is NASA which means
to literally buy and compete you NASA
civil and this is a sickness that comes
from miser Lina's not wanting other
people to have generosity to have the
blessings that you have and this is why
the Prophet said well attend FSU and
don't buy with one another and if you
must make Tanaka's poor feed addict
affiliate NFS and Mota nephew soon if
people must compete with one another
then let them compete with one another
for akhira but not for this world and
what is very interesting that the
dominant philosophy now is what they
call competitive capitalism which is
literally destroying people as the
prophets Allison and said it would
destroy people when they tenaha sue ha
when they begin to buy over the dunya
but the Velichko home come out a
headache at home and it destroys them
like it destroyed the people before them
so this is again a dise
