00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,000
Assalamualaikum, warahmatullahi 
wabarakatuh. 

2
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,600
Start with a personal experience
and then explain to you exactly 

3
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,200
the structure of this brief 
lecture inshallah when I started

4
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,000
learning about religion and got 
interested in Islam in my 

5
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,700
college days, there were many 
Avenues. 

6
00:01:13,900 --> 00:01:15,100
To take there. 
Were mean, you could have 

7
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:18,400
studied some any number of ways 
and depending on which way you 

8
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,300
start learning your entire view 
of Islam, gets shaped by your, 

9
00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:24,700
in a sense. 
Your first impression and New 

10
00:01:24,700 --> 00:01:27,000
York where I started learning 
about Islam was a pretty crazy 

11
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,200
Place depending on which mustard
you go, you get a different 

12
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,300
brand of Islam, pretty much, 
right? 

13
00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:34,900
And so I was and I was really 
eager to just acquire everything

14
00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:38,200
that I could from anywhere that 
I could and I just have this 

15
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,600
habit when I get into it. 
I just really, really entirely 

16
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,600
give myself to one thing and I 
did that I did Did I studied 

17
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,500
some with one group that 
another, then another, then 

18
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:48,700
another one scholar than 
another, then another just 

19
00:01:48,700 --> 00:01:51,200
completely giving myself truly, 
trying to understand the point 

20
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,100
of view until I stumbled upon 
one thing that and when I 

21
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:57,300
experienced it, I knew that 
something inside me, it 

22
00:01:57,300 --> 00:02:00,300
completely changed. 
It happened in a Ramadan, early 

23
00:02:00,300 --> 00:02:03,300
on, in my journey, when I didn't
even know much about the Arabic 

24
00:02:03,300 --> 00:02:06,200
language at all. 
And I attended a program where 

25
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,199
my teacher who happens to be my 
Arabic teacher, my Quran, my 

26
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:12,400
first coat on teacher, dr. 
Of the Sameer was covering the 

27
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,000
entire Quran. 
In Translation. 

28
00:02:15,700 --> 00:02:18,400
And when he was covering it in 
Translation and giving a brief 

29
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,200
synopsis of every I are 
presenting it as a conversation,

30
00:02:21,500 --> 00:02:24,400
it was the first time that I 
actually felt that I can connect

31
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,500
with the Quran as a book. 
That personally speaks to me up.

32
00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:30,800
Until then I Tried reading the 
Quran in Translation, I found 

33
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,100
myself disengaged with it very 
easily. 

34
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:35,300
I found myself confused about 
many things that it had to say 

35
00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:37,200
very easily. 
If you want to study a 

36
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,300
particular topic and Islam fine,
you can go ask a scholar read an

37
00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:43,300
article, maybe get a book but if
you wanted to get a good grasp 

38
00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:45,900
of what is Is this Surah about 
or what is this Ayah talking 

39
00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:47,200
about? 
Or what is, you know, what are 

40
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,000
these passages about Etc? 
It seemed like you have to go a 

41
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,000
lot farther than translation to 
really get it and the materials 

42
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,200
that are available Beyond 
translation, what we call 

43
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,500
Tiff's, it easily seem pretty 
complicated. 

44
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,400
It's not something that you can 
easily just study and grasp. 

45
00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:04,900
So I felt like there's a 
disconnect connect between 

46
00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:08,000
myself and the Quran even though
it's the primary text of Islam. 

47
00:03:08,300 --> 00:03:10,800
But in this Ramadan experience, 
it was the first time that I 

48
00:03:10,808 --> 00:03:13,600
truly truly felt connected with 
the word of Allah. 

49
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,600
Sessions would be like, I don't 
know, two, three hours long and 

50
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,300
half an hour in 20 minutes in. 
Even I'd lose sight of the fact 

51
00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:23,400
that I'm in a lecture. 
I'd feel like, Allah is talking 

52
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,300
to me, you know, and it just, it
was so powerful and experienced 

53
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,900
that at the end of that series, 
I went to my to him, he didn't 

54
00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:33,700
know who I was when up to him 
and I literally asked him, I 

55
00:03:33,708 --> 00:03:36,700
just, I really want to do what 
you do and I meant two things by

56
00:03:36,700 --> 00:03:38,500
that. 
I want to teach what you teach, 

57
00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:41,800
because it's so meaningful, what
you've taught and I want to be 

58
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,000
able to contribute in that way. 
But more importantly, Lee. 

59
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:46,600
I want to be able to take from 
the Wellspring that you take I 

60
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,300
want to be able to learn like 
you've learned, you know. 

61
00:03:49,300 --> 00:03:52,200
And he's the one who then 
inspired me to become a student 

62
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,700
of the Quran and of the Arabic 
language and that Journey then 

63
00:03:54,700 --> 00:03:57,500
continued that snowballed into 
things. 

64
00:03:57,500 --> 00:03:59,900
I didn't expect I was just a kid
trying to learn more about the 

65
00:03:59,900 --> 00:04:03,900
Quran and somehow some of the 
few things I taught friends and 

66
00:04:03,900 --> 00:04:05,400
family. 
Maybe give a hug by here and 

67
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,700
there it snowballed into, you 
know, podcast that started 

68
00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:11,700
getting downloaded in the 
millions and speaking requests 

69
00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:15,700
all over the world and my 
Phenomenal opportunity to meet 

70
00:04:15,700 --> 00:04:18,500
remarkable Scholars from 
everywhere to learn from, and 

71
00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:21,399
now, you know, being institute's
been around, nearly a decade or 

72
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:24,100
actually more than a decade now.
So alhamdulillah things 

73
00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:27,800
transpired from there, but it 
all began with that kind of 

74
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,600
Ramadan Quran experience. 
And that brings me to what this 

75
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,400
webinar is about. 
This is a webinar about the 

76
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,600
beginning of the 60 second 
Surah. 

77
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,100
So, Total Drama. 
And these ayaat in the, in the 

78
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:42,700
course of my study, when I study
these particular ayat, they 

79
00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:45,300
resonated with me. 
In a very special way because I 

80
00:04:45,308 --> 00:04:49,500
felt like they summarize my own 
journey into the Quran and in a 

81
00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:53,800
sense into Islam itself like how
I felt transformed from within 

82
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,700
and how my outlook on life 
changed was a process and that 

83
00:04:57,700 --> 00:05:01,700
process of change was actually 
very beautifully articulated in 

84
00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:03,900
these opening ayat of Surah, 
Juma. 

85
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,300
And that's my intention today to
share with you. 

86
00:05:06,500 --> 00:05:09,700
And so, I'll get right into now 
just some things about the 

87
00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:11,400
discussion. 
I'm going to have with you and 

88
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,500
hopefully insha Allah, you'll be
able to stick with me. 

89
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,500
And go through it in a 
systematic way and I hope to 

90
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:18,600
keep things organized, so that 
you can keep things in your 

91
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,000
mind, I'm interested. 
Not just in giving a lecture, 

92
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,500
but in Sharing something with 
you that that you internalize 

93
00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:26,700
so, well you can share it in 
your own words with somebody 

94
00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:28,600
else in sha Allah. 
The first thing I'm going to try

95
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,300
to do is share, give you an 
introduction to sort of jummah 

96
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,000
the 60 second Surah of the 
Quran. 

97
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Just say a few introductory 
comments about it. 

98
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,000
The second thing I hope to do is
to cover for names of Allah. 

99
00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:43,400
The first Ayah of this Surah 
describes Allah with four of his

100
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,200
name. 
She's very beautiful profound 

101
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,800
names in a certain special 
order. 

102
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,900
So we're going to talk about 
those four names a little bit 

103
00:05:48,900 --> 00:05:51,800
and that order and what it 
signifies, then we're going to 

104
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,000
talk in the second Ayah about 
the task given to the prophet 

105
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,900
salallahu alayhi wasalam, our 
messenger was given the greatest

106
00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:02,300
Mission ever given to a human 
being and that entire Mission 

107
00:06:02,500 --> 00:06:05,700
has been summarized in the 
second Ayah by four tasks. 

108
00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:08,300
These are the four things, the 
prophet had to do some the 

109
00:06:08,300 --> 00:06:11,300
Lahore, alehsalaam to bring 
about the kind of transformation

110
00:06:11,300 --> 00:06:12,900
that he did. 
And at the end of this 

111
00:06:12,900 --> 00:06:15,600
discussion, the No discussion, 
I'll have with you is, what does

112
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,900
all of that mean for my and your
own self transformation? 

113
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:22,000
These for guided steps in the 
Quran, for self transformation. 

114
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,900
That's What I Call this webinar.
That's what they're about at the

115
00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:26,100
end. 
We learn these lessons from the 

116
00:06:26,108 --> 00:06:28,600
Quran and then extract from them
at the end. 

117
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,200
What applies to ourselves. 
So, let's begin with that 

118
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,300
introduction. 
The first discussion and a brief

119
00:06:33,300 --> 00:06:36,200
introduction to suitable, Juma. 
It belongs to a group of 

120
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,500
students called the mastaba Hat.
What's a big Arabic word? 

121
00:06:39,500 --> 00:06:42,000
You may not know what it means 
to let me tell you, briefly must

122
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,900
have be hot actually means those
Those that declare Allah has 

123
00:06:44,900 --> 00:06:47,100
Perfection. 
What these students have in 

124
00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:50,200
common is all of them. 
Begin with either Subhan Allah 

125
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,500
Hafiz sumati waffle on or you 
shall be holy lady. 

126
00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:56,800
Massimo moratti weld. 
Everything has been declaring a 

127
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,700
lot Perfection. 
Perfection everything in the 

128
00:06:58,700 --> 00:07:02,000
skies and the Earth has been 
declaring a less Perfection and 

129
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,100
will continue to declare a less 
Perfection. 

130
00:07:04,300 --> 00:07:06,100
And is already declaring a lot 
of perfection. 

131
00:07:06,100 --> 00:07:09,200
These are the Declarations at 
the beginning of this group of 

132
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,600
Metheny sutras within which this
Surah belongs to Jim about. 

133
00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:16,100
Thanks. 
But the other thing that this 

134
00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:18,100
was have in common that should 
be noted. 

135
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,500
Is that all of them first begin 
with the heavens and the Earth 

136
00:07:21,500 --> 00:07:24,100
declare, a lot of perfection. 
And then they compared the 

137
00:07:24,100 --> 00:07:27,100
heavens and the Earth to the 
Believers living in Medina, 

138
00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:30,200
after the prophet had migrated, 
and the new community of Muslims

139
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,900
was formed in Medina. 
It compares the state of the 

140
00:07:32,900 --> 00:07:36,200
Muslims to the heavens and the 
Earth, essentially saying the 

141
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,500
skies, and the Earth do what 
they're told, Allah created them

142
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,200
and they submit before, Allah 
and declare his Perfection. 

143
00:07:42,500 --> 00:07:45,600
Why do you have Have levels of 
Faith, some of you very 

144
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,200
committed, some of you not 
committed at all, some of you 

145
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,500
even hypocritical, some of you 
very weak in their conviction, 

146
00:07:51,700 --> 00:07:54,500
there's this variation and so 
Allah is actually raising the 

147
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:58,500
level of faith and hoping to 
transform everybody through the 

148
00:07:58,500 --> 00:08:01,400
messages in the sutras in these 
must be hot. 

149
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,500
Now, part of that group, once 
again, is sort of drama, but 

150
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:08,300
subtle humour even within this 
small group of students in the 

151
00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:11,000
Quran stands in a unique Place. 
Why? 

152
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,500
Because there's two reasons, one
first. 

153
00:08:13,700 --> 00:08:17,700
Most is because in every other 
Surah Allah would describe the 

154
00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:19,200
skies and the Earth and what 
they do. 

155
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,300
And they're supposed to you 
said, behold Lila Hema for Samoa

156
00:08:22,300 --> 00:08:26,000
Theophylline and since the skies
and the Earth do what they're 

157
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,000
supposed to do, the Believers of
then criticized, why don't you 

158
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,299
do what you're supposed to do? 
Limit Hakuna, Matata found out. 

159
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,000
Why don't you do what, you know,
why do you say what you don't 

160
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,100
do? 
Well, as the halacha come from 

161
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:40,400
income kaffir woman commitment, 
he's the one who made you, the 

162
00:08:40,408 --> 00:08:42,200
among you. 
There are those who disbelieve 

163
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:42,799
among you. 
There. 

164
00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:45,300
Are those who believe Why is 
there a discrepancy among human 

165
00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:47,700
beings and among the believing 
Community when there's no 

166
00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:51,200
discrepancy in the skies? 
But this Surah is unique as soon

167
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,200
as Allah describes the skies and
the Earth and they do what 

168
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,700
they're supposed to. 
He comes to the prophet 

169
00:08:56,700 --> 00:08:59,400
salallahu. 
So instead of criticizing us, he

170
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,000
comes to the prophets. 
Elijah them and describes that 

171
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,600
he does what he's supposed to 
like just as the heavens, follow

172
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,700
the order. 
Heavenly order of Allah, the 

173
00:09:08,700 --> 00:09:11,800
prophet himself salaam salaam 
executed. 

174
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,000
The Heavenly order of Allah, 
there's a Harmony To, in the 

175
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,000
skies and the Earth and what the
what our Prophet himself did 

176
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,500
salallahu alaihe Salam that 
which is a beautiful unique 

177
00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:23,000
quality of the syrup. 
In addition to the fact that it 

178
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,800
instead of mentioning to of 
Allah's names inventions for of 

179
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,400
his name's but we'll get to that
in the second discussion. 

180
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:32,300
Now before we get into the topic
of the first Ayah and the four 

181
00:09:32,300 --> 00:09:34,500
names of Allah, that I was going
to talk to you about, I want to 

182
00:09:34,508 --> 00:09:37,400
talk to you about the overall 
message of not just this webinar

183
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,600
but this entire Surah it's 
message is essentially change 

184
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,500
and to understand that you have 
to To understand a parable and 

185
00:09:45,500 --> 00:09:50,000
analogy that is very common. 
In the Quran, Quran Compares 

186
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,100
itself on a number of occasions 
to water raining from the sky. 

187
00:09:55,500 --> 00:09:58,100
That's the comparison that's 
made, and that's an important 

188
00:09:58,100 --> 00:10:00,800
comparison to understand water. 
Comes from the sky. 

189
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:03,800
The Quran came from the sky 
water is pure. 

190
00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:07,300
The Quran is pure water, gives 
life to the Earth. 

191
00:10:07,300 --> 00:10:10,400
That was previously dead. 
It had the potential for Life. 

192
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,100
What? 
It was, previously dead, the 

193
00:10:12,100 --> 00:10:14,900
same way, the Quran gives Life 
to the hearts that were 

194
00:10:14,900 --> 00:10:17,200
previously dead. 
They had potential in them, but 

195
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,400
that potential hadn't been 
activated yet inside or they had

196
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,200
the seed inside of goodness, but
it hadn't been given an 

197
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,400
opportunity to Blossom and to 
bloom, right? 

198
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:30,100
So that the the water and Quran 
analogy is a very powerful one 

199
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,100
because it's actually an analogy
of transformation itself. 

200
00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:36,900
We are in a sense being compared
to the earth, just like the 

201
00:10:36,900 --> 00:10:38,500
Earth can be transformed by 
water. 

202
00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:41,200
You won't recognize the land 
after the greenery. 

203
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,500
Comes after the rain has done 
its effect. 

204
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,800
T', and before, it looks like 
two different places. 

205
00:10:45,900 --> 00:10:47,800
The same is true of human 
beings. 

206
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,300
When the effect of Revelation 
takes place this. 

207
00:10:50,300 --> 00:10:52,300
Let's so let's talk about that 
transformation. 

208
00:10:52,500 --> 00:10:55,000
That how did human beings 
transform like the Earth 

209
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,100
transforms? 
How did human beings transform? 

210
00:10:57,100 --> 00:10:58,800
What was that? 
Change that the Quran brought 

211
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,600
about? 
Just looking at it from a 

212
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,500
historical point of view, the 
revelation of the Quran starts, 

213
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:07,700
when the prophet is at the age 
of 40 and a discontinues when 

214
00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:11,400
he's at the age of 63. 
So that's a 23-year, very brief 

215
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,400
period, and in this period. 
An incredible Revolution took 

216
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,200
place in this unknown part of 
the of the world map in the 

217
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,500
middle of that desert where 
there was no massive Empire and 

218
00:11:22,500 --> 00:11:26,300
no no Grand historians and 
Scholars, and things like that. 

219
00:11:26,300 --> 00:11:30,100
In the middle of that completely
unknown place, a revolution took

220
00:11:30,100 --> 00:11:33,500
place a revolution that changed 
individuals from from within 

221
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,600
everything about them changed. 
How they looked at life, how 

222
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,600
they thought about happiness and
sadness. 

223
00:11:38,900 --> 00:11:42,000
What their priorities were 
practically, every everything 

224
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,400
changed about the way they eat. 
The way they sleep, how they get

225
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,600
married, who they get married to
how they get divorced, what they

226
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,800
think about life and death, how 
they clean themselves, how they 

227
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,300
spend their time, what should 
their priorities in a day and in

228
00:11:54,300 --> 00:11:57,000
their year and their life? 
Be, you know, how, what should 

229
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,500
they love and what should they 
hate? 

230
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,100
Everything about them 
emotionally practically in their

231
00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:05,000
daily habits transformed. 
It's an incredible individual 

232
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,100
transformation but it's not just
an individual transformation. 

233
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,200
It was also a societal 
transformation. 

234
00:12:10,500 --> 00:12:12,600
The way business is conducted 
changed forever. 

235
00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:15,900
The way the economy Economy's 
organized changed the way people

236
00:12:15,900 --> 00:12:18,600
deal with each other, what are 
the rights of men and women? 

237
00:12:18,700 --> 00:12:21,400
And how should they interact 
with one another in society, you

238
00:12:21,408 --> 00:12:24,600
know, what should be the, how do
people have different economic 

239
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,400
classes deal with each other? 
How do how we're governments 

240
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,500
deal with people and people deal
with governments? 

241
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,700
What are the norms and values 
that govern the behavior of a 

242
00:12:32,708 --> 00:12:35,000
society? 
What are even the ethics of War?

243
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,600
How is even were conducted 
meaning, even at a societal 

244
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,900
level, the value system was 
completely revolutionized Within

245
00:12:42,900 --> 00:12:45,300
These Three years. 
It's actually from a historical 

246
00:12:45,300 --> 00:12:48,700
point of view and unprecedented 
kind of change within one group 

247
00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:51,100
of people within one Society add
to that. 

248
00:12:51,100 --> 00:12:54,400
If you think about the fact that
these people had a culture and a

249
00:12:54,408 --> 00:12:58,000
tradition that was thousands of 
years old, and when people 

250
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,900
follow a tradition that 
centuries-old, then they're very

251
00:13:00,900 --> 00:13:03,400
set in their ways, it's not easy
to change them. 

252
00:13:03,500 --> 00:13:06,500
But this something happened in 
this time that changed them in a

253
00:13:06,508 --> 00:13:10,400
way that no other change in 
human history even compares and 

254
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,700
that's not enough. 
Not only that little small 

255
00:13:12,700 --> 00:13:16,400
portion of the Map changed. 
But as a result of it in just a 

256
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,200
few years until to this day, the
map of the world itself has 

257
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,900
changed forever. 
You know? 

258
00:13:21,900 --> 00:13:24,700
You and I many of us are Muslim 
today because of what happened 

259
00:13:24,700 --> 00:13:27,600
in those 23 years. 
It's an incredible, incredible 

260
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,000
change that continues to 
transform the world as we speak 

261
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,200
today and it started then and 
the effect still continues. 

262
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,400
But if you look at it from the 
qur'an's point of view, yes, 

263
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,100
this is from a historical point 
of view. 

264
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,700
And political scientists point 
of view, you know, from a 

265
00:13:41,708 --> 00:13:44,800
sociologist point of view from 
an Thomas point of view, you 

266
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,700
know the you know they can see 
and measure these changes and 

267
00:13:47,700 --> 00:13:50,700
look at how the map changed and 
how politics changed, how Islam 

268
00:13:50,700 --> 00:13:53,500
spread and all of it. 
But if you look at it from the 

269
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:56,000
korans point of view, the most 
incredible change that happened 

270
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,900
was one change. 
It was change inside people's 

271
00:13:57,900 --> 00:14:01,700
hearts, something inside people 
transformed you know you could 

272
00:14:01,700 --> 00:14:04,000
talk about how green the Earth 
is on the outside. 

273
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,500
The Quran is saying it's that 
seed within that transformed 

274
00:14:07,700 --> 00:14:10,600
that's that's the root of all of
that change and that's what 

275
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,400
we're going to try to get at. 
In today's webinar these were my

276
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,100
Comments about the introduction 
to the Surah and the subject 

277
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:17,500
matter that we're going to be 
dealing with. 

278
00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:20,100
Now, I have three more 
discussions to share with you 

279
00:14:20,100 --> 00:14:22,700
just briefly outlining. 
The once again, the first thing 

280
00:14:22,700 --> 00:14:24,600
I'm going to talk to you about 
now is going to be the four 

281
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,800
names of Allah from the first. 
Ayah then I'll talk to you about

282
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,400
the four tasks given to the 
prophet salallahu alaihe, Salam 

283
00:14:30,500 --> 00:14:32,800
in the second Ayah and then 
thirdly we'll tie it all 

284
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,400
together and try to understand 
something about transforming 

285
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,200
ourselves self transformation. 
So let's begin with the first 

286
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,100
Ayah Bismillah ar-rahman 
ar-rahim you said, behold Allah 

287
00:14:41,100 --> 00:14:43,400
Hafiz summer W. 
Ey my fellow Delma. 

288
00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:47,000
Michael Cote du Ciel Aziza like 
him, I'll briefly translate this

289
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,500
for you. 
Everything in the skies and in 

290
00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:53,100
the earth, declares Allah as 
Perfection and will continue to 

291
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:56,100
do. 
So, the king, the pure, The 

292
00:14:56,100 --> 00:14:59,600
Authority, the wise, this is a 
simplified translation in which 

293
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,800
I'm going to emphasize the four 
names of Allah that have been 

294
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,300
mentioned. 
And then we'll dig a little bit 

295
00:15:05,300 --> 00:15:07,000
deeper once again in brief 
translation. 

296
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,500
Everything in the skies and 
everything in the earth 

297
00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:12,600
continues to declare and will 
continue to declare the 

298
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,000
Perfection of Allah. 
Who is the king, the pure, The 

299
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,400
Authority, the wise in that 
order, the king, the pure, The 

300
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,400
Authority, the wise, okay? 
So, let's now talk about each 

301
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,200
one of these names a little bit 
and I what I want to start with 

302
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,900
is actually an observation of 
Imam Pasadena, Rahim Allah, who 

303
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,700
pondered over these four names 
of Allah in this package 

304
00:15:33,700 --> 00:15:36,900
together. 
And the thing that he felt ties 

305
00:15:36,900 --> 00:15:39,900
them all together is the fact 
that all each one of these names

306
00:15:39,900 --> 00:15:44,500
in its own way, draws you closer
to Allah, Each one of these 

307
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:48,300
names attracts you to a lot and 
keeps you in close company of 

308
00:15:48,300 --> 00:15:50,300
Allah and he wanted to describe 
that. 

309
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,000
And so I'm taking some excerpts 
from from his commentary. 

310
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,100
I'll start with his commentary 
on the name, the king and the 

311
00:15:56,100 --> 00:15:58,600
laulima lion. 
Sorry for I'm ugly, Seaman Kana 

312
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,000
and the hula and entire body 
module, is he? 

313
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,300
I will even even salafi him. 
When you're in the company of 

314
00:16:04,300 --> 00:16:07,800
someone great, in this case, in 
the company of the king, it's 

315
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,500
improper protocol for you to 
just walk away. 

316
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,500
You can't just, you know, you've
been given the the honor of 

317
00:16:15,500 --> 00:16:18,500
being in the company of royalty 
being invited to the castle 

318
00:16:18,500 --> 00:16:20,600
being invited to the inner 
quarters of a king. 

319
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,600
You, it's, you're not sitting in
a restaurant, you're not sitting

320
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,900
at a train station or in a movie
theater or something, you just 

321
00:16:25,900 --> 00:16:28,800
get up and walk away. 
There's a, there's an actual, 

322
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,000
you know, proper etiquette 
respect and protocol that has to

323
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,900
be observed because you are in 
the presence of royalty. 

324
00:16:34,900 --> 00:16:37,200
I actually have experience with 
this to an extent in the human 

325
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,400
sense. 
I've had the opportunity to meet

326
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,400
with presidents and you know, 
Some cases Royal members of 

327
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,300
royal families in different 
countries and Etc. 

328
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,300
And before you meet them, 
there's always a protocol team 

329
00:16:46,300 --> 00:16:48,600
that tells you here's how you're
going to meet the president. 

330
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,000
Here's how you greet the king, 
here's where you're going to sit

331
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,900
here is how you're going to you.
Let him eat first. 

332
00:16:52,900 --> 00:16:54,900
Then you eat this, that the 
other you know there's there's 

333
00:16:54,900 --> 00:16:56,500
all this stuff you can't just 
like in the middle of the 

334
00:16:56,500 --> 00:16:57,900
conversation. 
Pick up the phone and say hey 

335
00:16:58,100 --> 00:17:00,400
excuse me king, I gotta take a 
phone call. 

336
00:17:00,500 --> 00:17:03,600
That's not going to happen. 
What he's trying to get at is 

337
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,000
when you get introduced to 
Allah, you are in awe of the 

338
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,099
fact that you're in the presence
of royalty and you're going to 

339
00:17:09,099 --> 00:17:10,800
feel ashamed. 
Embarrassed walking. 

340
00:17:10,900 --> 00:17:13,200
Away from that present, that 
grand presence your. 

341
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,900
So honored that you got to be 
there. 

342
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,599
Why would you want to to leave 
that presence? 

343
00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:20,000
You'll be, you'll be reluctant 
to leave that presence. 

344
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,000
So this first name of Allah 
draws you in and keeps you there

345
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,300
out of reverence, for Allah, the
second name of a lot of Kudos 

346
00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:30,800
which I simply translated. 
As the pure he says about it, 

347
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,600
I'll Moon has a who and an ox. 
Well, who are your Hub of he had

348
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,100
retired? 
He is someone who is free from 

349
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,300
flaws and because they're free 
from flaws there refined You're 

350
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,800
pure individuals, such a person 
and such an entity is their 

351
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,500
company is desired. 
Let me put that, in simple words

352
00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:51,300
for you people, like refined 
company. 

353
00:17:51,300 --> 00:17:54,300
We like people that that are 
pure in their speech and their 

354
00:17:54,300 --> 00:17:57,600
mannerisms, and their behavior, 
their kindness is pure, their 

355
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,100
advice is pure. 
The sincerity is pure your 

356
00:18:00,100 --> 00:18:02,500
gravitating towards those kinds 
of people truthful. 

357
00:18:02,500 --> 00:18:05,300
People honest people, people 
that are genuine with you. 

358
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,400
Those are the kinds of people 
that you want to be around. 

359
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,800
So human beings naturally are 
drawn towards truth. 

360
00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:15,700
Fulness and cleanliness and, and
pure kinds of company. 

361
00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:19,000
But even in the physical sense, 
if you live in a polluted area 

362
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,600
where there's smoke and Smog and
dust. 

363
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,300
And all of that human beings 
want to move away from that 

364
00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:27,200
towards, what a natural 
environment, a pure environment,

365
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,900
where they can breathe fresh 
air, where they can drink, pure 

366
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:33,800
water Purity, is something that 
attracts people in the personal 

367
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,400
emotional sense. 
But even physically, we are 

368
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,300
drawn towards Purity and 
cleanliness. 

369
00:18:38,300 --> 00:18:41,000
We want to get away from filth 
and dirtiness, you know, No, 

370
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,900
that's that's a human 
inclination Allah. 

371
00:18:42,900 --> 00:18:45,000
Put inside of us. 
So in a sense when you get 

372
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,300
introduced to Allah as the 
ultimately pure being in his 

373
00:18:48,300 --> 00:18:52,300
company starts, purifying you 
and thus you feel, and a change 

374
00:18:52,300 --> 00:18:55,000
inside of you and you don't want
to leave that company, that's 

375
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,200
attractive in and of itself the 
third. 

376
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,100
So two names of Allah so far, so
good. 

377
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,800
The quick recap would be the 
king. 

378
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,600
That's the first name, the pure 
that would be the second name. 

379
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,400
The third name of Allah is the 
authority al-aziz. 

380
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,400
He says about it. 
Yeah, it does. 

381
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,400
All multiphone how low for Mo 
Farah to home, her daughter, who

382
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:18,400
the freaking Villa Rosa, that 
those who are around the 

383
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,100
authority. 
And by the way, let me translate

384
00:19:20,100 --> 00:19:22,100
that a little better, I'm 
keeping it simple. 

385
00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:25,200
So you remember the words, the 
king, the purely Authority, the 

386
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,400
wise now we're on Authority, the
third one, but let me just give 

387
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,900
you a little bit more about the 
word, Allah Aziz from the Arabic

388
00:19:30,900 --> 00:19:32,800
language. 
It actually combines two 

389
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,700
meanings. 
It combines the meaning of 

390
00:19:34,700 --> 00:19:38,000
authority, which I've already 
translated, but it also So 

391
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,400
includes the meaning of honor 
and dignity and respect. 

392
00:19:41,700 --> 00:19:44,100
And if you combine those two, 
the notion that comes from, 

393
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:47,100
Allah Aziz is an authority that 
commands respect. 

394
00:19:47,700 --> 00:19:50,900
That's an important distinction 
because there are people and 

395
00:19:50,900 --> 00:19:53,700
there are entities that have 
authority but they don't have 

396
00:19:53,700 --> 00:19:55,500
any respect. 
There are neighborhoods in which

397
00:19:55,500 --> 00:19:57,600
the police have a lot of 
authority but the community 

398
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,900
doesn't respect them, that 
happens. 

399
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,900
There may be an institution. 
There may be people that people 

400
00:20:02,900 --> 00:20:06,400
respect like a teacher, may be 
respected but he has no 

401
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,900
Authority, that might happen. 
But as easy as someone who has 

402
00:20:10,900 --> 00:20:14,100
Authority, and that the 
authority is also respected. 

403
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,000
And so he says, then why is this
name attractive? 

404
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,200
Because Tim, I'm Rosie. 
All these names are attractive 

405
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,100
in some way right there. 
Drawing you in closer to Allah. 

406
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,000
He says it's similar to The King
and Authority. 

407
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,700
A noble respected Authority has 
invited. 

408
00:20:28,700 --> 00:20:32,000
You your in their company, you 
walking away from that company 

409
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,300
is not degrading them. 
It's degrading you, you missed 

410
00:20:34,300 --> 00:20:36,600
out on an honor. 
You got invited by somebody 

411
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,800
Noble, you got invited by By The
Authority. 

412
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:43,000
So you showing your loyalty you 
showing you, you coming up and 

413
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,300
showing up and staying there is 
actually being is a means of 

414
00:20:46,300 --> 00:20:49,000
dignifying yourself. 
So one actually becomes 

415
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,100
dignified in the company of 
al-aziz, they get a result 

416
00:20:52,100 --> 00:20:54,500
because they're in the company 
of Allah Aziz. 

417
00:20:54,900 --> 00:20:57,400
And finally, I quickly get to 
the, the final name in this 

418
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,400
list, Al malikul, quddus 
al-aziz. 

419
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,000
And finally, al-hakim the the 
king, the pure the authority. 

420
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,800
And finally, the wise al-hakim 
either Farrakhan, I hadn't have 

421
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,800
lotta who fighter who fix The 
and in shape, 1 Min Al hikmah. 

422
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,200
Beautifully said when you're in 
the company of someone wise 

423
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,800
every moment you miss out on 
getting wisdom from them is a 

424
00:21:16,808 --> 00:21:19,600
loss for you. 
Every moment you want to take 

425
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,400
the most of it. 
I mean I have personal 

426
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,200
experience with this and you 
might do there are people very 

427
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,300
few people in our life are a 
source of real wisdom and if you

428
00:21:28,300 --> 00:21:30,800
have those kinds of people, you 
know, that they're very sought 

429
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,500
after company. 
So you getting their undivided. 

430
00:21:33,500 --> 00:21:36,400
Attention is not easy, and if 
you do get it, you want to 

431
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,400
cherish every moment that you 
possibly Chablis can to capture 

432
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,100
whatever wisdom they have to 
offer you. 

433
00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:43,200
There are some teachers in 
different parts of the world 

434
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,100
that I look up to. 
I'll travel and not to go and 

435
00:21:47,100 --> 00:21:49,600
give a talk or a speech. 
I'll just travel to go see them 

436
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,900
and ask them questions and if 
they can give me an hour of 

437
00:21:51,900 --> 00:21:55,700
their time, 20 minutes of their 
time, I'll be grateful because 

438
00:21:55,700 --> 00:21:58,800
those 20 minutes or more 
valuable to me than 56 hours of 

439
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,600
studying on my own that wisdom 
to me is priceless that 

440
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,400
companies Priceless. 
So with the wise every moment is

441
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,100
precious and it's a close 
intimate relationship with 

442
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,500
Teacher a mentor and Elder 
someone who cares and loves for 

443
00:22:11,500 --> 00:22:13,400
you and therefore gives you 
wisdom. 

444
00:22:13,500 --> 00:22:16,400
Okay, so these are the four 
names of Allah that are 

445
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,900
described inside of this Ayah, 
the king of the pure, the 

446
00:22:18,900 --> 00:22:21,700
authority and the wise. 
This was some things about Imam 

447
00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:24,300
razi and how he framed these 
names together. 

448
00:22:24,500 --> 00:22:27,900
I want to add some of my own 
observations to that observation

449
00:22:28,500 --> 00:22:30,600
and I'd like to share with you 
that these four names of Allah 

450
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,800
can be further paired up there, 
four of them, you can divide 

451
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,400
them into two pairs and those 
two pairs would be the first and

452
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,900
the third name. 
Mmmmmm are similar and the 

453
00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:43,100
second and the fourth name have 
something in common, so 1 in 32.

454
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,200
And for now let me put words to 
that that would mean that the 

455
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,000
king and the authority have 
something in common and the pure

456
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,900
and the Y's have something in 
common. 

457
00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:55,400
So let's talk about that. 
On the one hand, what if it 

458
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:56,800
should be obvious to many of 
you? 

459
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,900
What are the king and the 
authority have in common? 

460
00:22:58,900 --> 00:23:01,400
A king is an authority and a 
king. 

461
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,800
Ideally is also a respected 
Authority, they have a lot in 

462
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,200
common and they both demand 
loyalty they are You know, their

463
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,300
authorities that have to be 
respected, they have to be 

464
00:23:11,300 --> 00:23:12,800
obeyed. 
You have to, you have to 

465
00:23:12,808 --> 00:23:15,700
recognize that they're up here 
and you're down here you know 

466
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,900
and Authority is superior. 
A king is superior the Royal and

467
00:23:18,900 --> 00:23:22,300
you're a subject you're down 
here these names of Allah. 

468
00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:24,100
What are they what effect do 
they have? 

469
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,800
The effect they have is they 
make me loyal to Allah obedient 

470
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,700
to Allah. 
Humble before Allah they make me

471
00:23:30,700 --> 00:23:33,200
afraid of Allah. 
They may even be intimidating to

472
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,900
me. 
They're overwhelming to me about

473
00:23:34,900 --> 00:23:38,000
the power and the Grandeur of 
Allah and my insignificance. 

474
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:41,000
And that's what these names 
highlight, what two names, and 

475
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,700
Malik and al-aziz. 
They are about the greatness of 

476
00:23:43,700 --> 00:23:46,900
Allah and therefore how 
minuscule an insignificant, I 

477
00:23:46,900 --> 00:23:51,200
become a how'd, you know, I 
become humbled before these two 

478
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,300
names. 
But if you look at the other two

479
00:23:53,300 --> 00:23:57,800
names, I'll put those and 
al-hakim the pure and the wise. 

480
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:02,600
Well Purity refinement, cannot 
be experienced from a distance 

481
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,500
like those first two names, 
Purity, and refinement is when 

482
00:24:05,500 --> 00:24:08,800
you get close to someone and you
see their mannerisms and Wisdom 

483
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,000
is something that when someone 
puts their hand over your 

484
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,600
shoulder and gives you advice 
and understands your situation 

485
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,400
and then gives you exactly 
relevant Council pertaining to 

486
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,800
your situation. 
I'm reminded particularly in the

487
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,900
matter of al-hakim of the story 
of lachman in the Quran. 

488
00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:25,700
Look, man lovingly gives advice 
to his son and Allah says, well,

489
00:24:25,700 --> 00:24:27,500
akkad Athena. 
Luqman al-hikmah. 

490
00:24:27,500 --> 00:24:30,800
We gave look man wisdom. 
And then he imparts that wisdom 

491
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,500
on to his son that that that 
intimate close loving 

492
00:24:34,500 --> 00:24:37,300
relationship, part of that is 
imparting, wisdom. 

493
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,300
You can't just Get wisdom from a
distance. 

494
00:24:39,300 --> 00:24:41,400
You have to develop a 
relationship with somebody for 

495
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,700
them to impart wisdom relevant 
to your life to you. 

496
00:24:44,100 --> 00:24:47,400
The other song on the first 
side, I'll put those refined 

497
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,900
company. 
Pure company company, whose 

498
00:24:49,900 --> 00:24:52,400
presence makes you feel better 
about yourself, brings you 

499
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,600
peace. 
In a sense, you can think of it.

500
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,600
Like, I like to think about 
produce and al-hakim paired. 

501
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,300
Also, in a sense that when 
you're in the company of someone

502
00:25:00,300 --> 00:25:03,500
pure your heart starts getting 
purified. 

503
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,800
And when you're in the company 
of someone wise, your mind 

504
00:25:06,900 --> 00:25:09,400
starts getting purified. 
Their wisdom, right? 

505
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,500
So it's hearts and Minds that 
are being refined by the quddus 

506
00:25:13,500 --> 00:25:15,500
and the Hakeem, the pure and the
Y's. 

507
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:20,700
So two names are distant, Royal 
Grand, even intimidating and two

508
00:25:20,700 --> 00:25:25,100
names are close and friendly. 
And they bring you near that 

509
00:25:25,100 --> 00:25:29,400
kind of makes it seem like these
four names are near or rather 

510
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,400
far the near than far the near. 
There's a push and a pull going 

511
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,400
on. 
As far as how I'm to react to 

512
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,200
these names between myself and 
Allah that That dichotomy and 

513
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,400
that tension is actually 
something beautifully 

514
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,300
articulated in the Quran. 
And they're both necessary 

515
00:25:44,300 --> 00:25:46,900
components of my relationship 
with Allah that distance and 

516
00:25:46,900 --> 00:25:49,300
that closeness with Allah. 
First, I want to give you an 

517
00:25:49,300 --> 00:25:51,400
example of it. 
And the example, my favorite 

518
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,900
example of it among many is the 
example of Musa, alayhis salaam 

519
00:25:56,100 --> 00:25:57,900
Moses. 
When he saw the fire, he was 

520
00:25:57,900 --> 00:26:01,100
with his family and he saw fire 
up top the mountain and he told 

521
00:26:01,100 --> 00:26:03,100
his family, you stay here. 
I see a fire. 

522
00:26:03,100 --> 00:26:05,000
Maybe I'll get some directions 
there little. 

523
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,200
Did he know he's going to be 
meeting with Allah when he goes 

524
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,000
up there. 
When Gets their what's the first

525
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,100
experience he has Allah says ya 
Musa. 

526
00:26:12,100 --> 00:26:16,400
Any another book for like Musa? 
There is no doubt. 

527
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,500
I am your master. 
Take your shoes off, then in a 

528
00:26:19,500 --> 00:26:23,000
couple Waddell muqaddas Etowah, 
you are no doubt in the sacred 

529
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,200
value of 2. 
He's intimidated. 

530
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,000
Allah has established his 
Mastery. 

531
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,500
Over him, he's just a slave. 
Take your shoes off. 

532
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,800
Show proper etiquette. 
This is a intimidating 

533
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,600
relationship and immediately 
following that. 

534
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,000
What does Allah say? 
Well, I know Donald took a first

535
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,900
time we met you And I'm the one 
that has chosen. 

536
00:26:39,900 --> 00:26:42,700
You, I have selected. 
You listen carefully to the 

537
00:26:42,700 --> 00:26:45,000
inspiration. 
Being given like a lie saying, I

538
00:26:45,008 --> 00:26:47,100
see good in you. 
That's why this Choice has been 

539
00:26:47,100 --> 00:26:48,300
made. 
He's making him feel 

540
00:26:48,300 --> 00:26:49,700
comfortable. 
Now all of a sudden its 

541
00:26:49,700 --> 00:26:52,800
closeness with him and 
immediately following that in 

542
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,000
any on Allah La ilaha illa, Ana 
moodini. 

543
00:26:56,700 --> 00:26:58,400
I am no doubt. 
Allah know what is to be 

544
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,500
worshiped and obeyed besides me,
be my slave, enslave yourself to

545
00:27:02,500 --> 00:27:04,900
me, worship me. 
That's again, Mastery and 

546
00:27:04,900 --> 00:27:08,300
slavery and intimidating, a 
powerful relationship and Lee 

547
00:27:08,300 --> 00:27:10,100
following that a close 
relationship? 

548
00:27:10,100 --> 00:27:13,100
Welcome Miss litella decree, 
establish the prayer. 

549
00:27:13,100 --> 00:27:15,500
So you can remember me a 
remembrance of Allah, of course,

550
00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:18,300
is a matter of the heart and a 
matter of closeness with Allah 

551
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,600
following that. 
Again, he scares him and says 

552
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,700
the hour is coming in the Satya.
Tony, Accardo. 

553
00:27:23,700 --> 00:27:32,800
Officially touches are cool. 
Enough symbol is coming and keep

554
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,000
me keeping it almost entirely 
hidden. 

555
00:27:35,100 --> 00:27:38,500
So every person gets paid gets 
compensated in a or danced with 

556
00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:41,100
the efforts they made. 
Don't let anybody distract you. 

557
00:27:41,100 --> 00:27:43,900
Especially the one who doesn't 
believe in it distract you from 

558
00:27:43,900 --> 00:27:46,700
it and they follow their own way
and fall off a cliff. 

559
00:27:46,700 --> 00:27:49,100
Literally he says Fatale because
he's standing on a cliff. 

560
00:27:49,300 --> 00:27:51,200
So he says they fall off a cliff
figuratively. 

561
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,300
You might fall literally as 
Moosa is terrified of Judgement 

562
00:27:54,300 --> 00:27:56,000
Day. 
He says, one material can be a 

563
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,300
meanie Kya Musa. 
What is in your right hand there

564
00:27:59,300 --> 00:28:00,600
Musa. 
What's their? 

565
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,300
What's that in your right hand? 
Like a casual conversation. 

566
00:28:04,500 --> 00:28:06,900
Bringing him close again. 
I wanted to highlight this 

567
00:28:06,900 --> 00:28:08,700
because this happens all over. 
Over the Quran. 

568
00:28:08,700 --> 00:28:10,800
But now it's important to 
understand why. 

569
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,600
Why does that happen? 
Why are some names? 

570
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,800
Intimidating us scaring us 
establishing a lot of authority 

571
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,400
and other names, making him a 
friend and a close Ally, you 

572
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,300
know, even someone we love, and 
who loves us? 

573
00:28:23,700 --> 00:28:25,800
Those two things. 
Don't go hand in hand. 

574
00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:27,800
How are they always there 
together? 

575
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,400
You see, if you only have a 
relationship with Allah about 

576
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,600
Authority, Then you're going to 
be so scared of Allah and so 

577
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,400
terrified of Allah that you will
lose all hope. 

578
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,200
If you have a relationship with 
Allah, that's all friendship and

579
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,900
love, Allah loves me. 
He knows what I'm going through,

580
00:28:46,100 --> 00:28:48,500
I love him. 
He's my best friend, etc, etc. 

581
00:28:48,700 --> 00:28:50,600
You know what happens with 
friends friends don't have 

582
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,800
authority over each other. 
Friends start saying yeah I 

583
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,600
crossed the line but so what 
he's my friend, he loves me too 

584
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:01,000
much. 
If we became entirely connected 

585
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,100
to Allah through his authority, 
we would become hopeless and 

586
00:29:04,100 --> 00:29:06,900
fearful only it would be a very 
depressing outlook on our 

587
00:29:06,908 --> 00:29:09,700
relationship with Allah. 
If our relationship with Allah 

588
00:29:09,700 --> 00:29:12,900
was only about closeness only 
about friendship and intimacy. 

589
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,300
We would end up taking advantage
of that relationship and 

590
00:29:15,300 --> 00:29:17,800
disobeying him and not regarding
his guidelines. 

591
00:29:18,500 --> 00:29:21,000
A lob keeps that balance between
those two things. 

592
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,700
Just like he does between hope 
and fear. 

593
00:29:22,900 --> 00:29:25,500
It's between Authority and 
closeness that he maintains that

594
00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:27,400
balance and that balance is so 
beautifully. 

595
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,700
Nick It together, in the First 
Eye of the Surah, Al Malik, Al 

596
00:29:30,700 --> 00:29:35,600
CODIS, Allah Aziz, Al Hakim, the
king, the pure, The Authority, 

597
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,200
the wise, they're close and far 
close in far over and over again

598
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:40,900
subhanallah. 
So now we're ready. 

599
00:29:40,900 --> 00:29:44,000
Now, that I've given you a recap
of these four names, the king, 

600
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,100
the pure, the authority, and the
wise. 

601
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,500
Now I'd like to talk to you 
about my second discussion which

602
00:29:49,500 --> 00:29:52,700
is about the prophet salallahu 
alayhi wasalam and the four 

603
00:29:52,700 --> 00:29:55,700
tasks, Allah gave him. 
I want to share first of all the

604
00:29:55,700 --> 00:29:59,000
idea with you and then we'll 
Discuss it in some detail and 

605
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,000
I'll briefly translate it for 
you to who led by NASA 

606
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,000
Philomena. 
Rasoolum in home yet Louella him

607
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,200
ayat. 
He was a key him where you are 

608

Well encounter woman Camille. 
The field wall a lima bean. 

610
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,000
He is the one who appointed 
among the unlettered, a 

611
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,100
messenger from within them mean 
home yet Louella homogeneity,

Revelations were Miracles, you

key him and he purifies them 

615
00:30:30,500 --> 00:30:32,000
where you are living room, we'll
get up. 

616
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,500
And he teaches them. 
It says the book, but you can 

617
00:30:34,500 --> 00:30:37,100
understand that as the law, the 
term kitab, in the Quran, many 

618
00:30:37,100 --> 00:30:40,000
places is used for the law. 
So he teaches them the law. 

619
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,300
Well, hikmah and the wisdom, 
once again, I'm summarizing the 

620
00:30:44,300 --> 00:30:47,400
translation and our concluded. 
He is the one who appointed 

621
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,200
among the unlettered, a 
messenger, among them, who does 

622
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,800
four things. 
Here's what they are. 

623
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,300
He teaches them, he recites the 
ayaat on to them, he, he 

624
00:30:55,300 --> 00:30:57,500
narrates onto them or introduces
them to the Miracles. 

625
00:30:58,300 --> 00:31:02,100
He purifies them, he teaches 
them, the law and the wisdom. 

626
00:31:02,100 --> 00:31:04,100
That's the fourth thing. 
Where in carloon Cobb Lou, 

627
00:31:04,100 --> 00:31:07,300
Lafitte La Lima Bean, even 
though for much before they had 

628
00:31:07,300 --> 00:31:10,200
been immersed in obvious, 
misguidance these people were 

629
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,000
lost for many many centuries, 
many many generations obviously 

630
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,000
lost worshipping all kinds of 
false gods and Pagan Idols, 

631
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,100
right? 
So that's the commentary made in

632
00:31:19,100 --> 00:31:22,100
this Ayah the here. 
Once again for tasks have been 

633
00:31:22,100 --> 00:31:25,900
highlighted reciting, the ayaat 
purification the messenger 

634
00:31:25,900 --> 00:31:28,100
purifies when you are leaving, 
home and kitab, He teaches them 

635
00:31:28,100 --> 00:31:29,800
the law and it teaches them 
wisdom. 

636
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,100
In order to understand these 
four tasks, the first thing I 

637
00:31:33,100 --> 00:31:35,400
want to share with you is the 
fact that the prophet of Allah 

638
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,600
sallallahu aleyhi Salam among 
all of the other prophets 

639
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,200
carries, a unique burden, being 
the last messenger, isn't just 

640
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,900
the fact that you're last on the
list, it means you have the 

641
00:31:44,900 --> 00:31:47,200
heaviest load that has ever been
given. 

642
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,100
No, other Prophet is coming to 
guide Humanity. 

643
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,800
So what he has been given and 
what he must deliver in those 23

644
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,400
years isn't just Nest. 
It's not isn't just necessary 

645
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,400
that Transforms his immediate 
audience, he has to be given 

646
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,700
something that is going to 
continue to transform Humanity 

647
00:32:04,900 --> 00:32:08,200
until the day of judgment the 
way prophets used to transform 

648
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,800
people. 
The job that was done previously

649
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,600
by profits must now be done by 
this one profit for every 

650
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:19,200
nation, every ethnicity, every 
generation, every society to 

651
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,900
come until Judgment Day, that's 
the burden on our messenger 

652
00:32:22,900 --> 00:32:26,000
salallahu alayhe wassallam. 
And on top of all of that, you 

653
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:30,700
know, Messengers used to be 
given In the this, this this 

654
00:32:31,300 --> 00:32:34,900
miracles in grand miracles to be
able to bring about their 

655
00:32:34,900 --> 00:32:37,700
changes to be able to convince 
people like Musa and the staff. 

656
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,600
He's only going to be given the 
Quran. 

657
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,400
He's not going to be given 
anything else, but in order to 

658
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,700
understand the beauty of these 
and the flow of these four tasks

659
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,900
and depth. 
I'd like to start this 

660
00:32:47,900 --> 00:32:52,500
discussion with an analogy and I
think it ties in some of the key

661
00:32:52,500 --> 00:32:55,600
Concepts that are being 
communicated here in these ayaat

662
00:32:57,100 --> 00:32:59,400
Imagine that there's a town 
that's kind of backwards is a 

663
00:32:59,408 --> 00:33:02,900
village, not very civilized 
people live there, they kind of 

664
00:33:02,900 --> 00:33:04,700
live. 
They they don't have much in the

665
00:33:04,708 --> 00:33:08,200
way of law or infrastructure 
refinement and one day they see 

666
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,200
an Entourage of horses. 
You know, back in the day horses

667
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:16,100
decked-out soldiers in uniforms 
and an ambassador coming with 

668
00:33:16,100 --> 00:33:18,500
them and the ambassador's just 
in clothes, they've never seen 

669
00:33:18,500 --> 00:33:20,900
before. 
Clearly these people are not 

670
00:33:20,900 --> 00:33:24,900
from around here and he opens up
this Grand, scroll and starts 

671
00:33:24,900 --> 00:33:26,700
reading them a message from a 
king. 

672
00:33:26,900 --> 00:33:28,600
Who would like to, uh, next 
their Village. 

673
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,000
He like to take over their 
Village and offer them the 

674
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,400
benefits of being part of their 
Kingdom. 

675
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,500
And, you know, starts, giving 
them all of this this message 

676
00:33:36,500 --> 00:33:38,400
from this King. 
And these people look at them 

677
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,900
and say, first of all, it's 
obvious, you're not from here, 

678
00:33:42,700 --> 00:33:44,800
but how do we know you're 
actually here from a king? 

679
00:33:45,700 --> 00:33:50,000
What proof do you have? 
So he shows them, you know, 

680
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,400
coins. 
He shows them Treasures. 

681
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,900
That can only possibly belong to
a King, he gives them some kind 

682
00:33:55,900 --> 00:33:59,100
of indication. 
That he represents royalty if 

683
00:33:59,100 --> 00:34:01,800
they're convinced. 
They say, you know what, we'll 

684
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,800
hear about, will want to hear 
what this King has to say. 

685
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,100
You know, we're kind of 
impressed with the Entourage and

686
00:34:06,100 --> 00:34:09,699
everything he brought and the 
proofs of his Grand royalty. 

687
00:34:10,300 --> 00:34:13,000
We're going to give him a shot. 
If you're going to go to that 

688
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,100
company of that King, you're 
going to go meet him, then 

689
00:34:15,100 --> 00:34:16,800
you're going to have to address 
your best. 

690
00:34:17,100 --> 00:34:19,900
You're going to have to dress 
for the occasion and observe 

691
00:34:19,900 --> 00:34:21,600
proper protocol. 
You're gonna have to refine 

692
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,500
yourself, you're gonna have to 
purify yourself. 

693
00:34:23,500 --> 00:34:25,699
Keep in track. 
Keep keep in mind what we're 

694
00:34:25,699 --> 00:34:28,400
talking about in the ayaat You 
are the mighty what user came. 

695
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,600
You go meet this king and the 
King says if you want to be part

696
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,400
of my kingdom here laws, you 
have to follow here. 

697
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,300
The regulations you must. 
Now adopt, this will become your

698
00:34:37,300 --> 00:34:41,100
Constitution and he overtime 
develops, these people and they 

699
00:34:41,100 --> 00:34:44,100
Implement more and more of the 
laws of the Kingdom, until they 

700
00:34:44,100 --> 00:34:45,800
themselves. 
Become a very refined 

701
00:34:45,900 --> 00:34:48,400
well-developed, well 
well-established sophisticated 

702
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,100
society, and only as they 
develop and grow, do they start 

703
00:34:52,100 --> 00:34:54,900
learning the advantages of 
becoming a more sophisticated 

704
00:34:54,900 --> 00:34:56,199
Nation. 
They didn't see the wisdom in 

705
00:34:56,199 --> 00:34:57,400
some of that. 
Ah before. 

706
00:34:57,500 --> 00:34:59,100
But now they start seeing that 
wisdom. 

707
00:34:59,100 --> 00:35:02,100
They went through this process 
of refinement. 

708
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,500
I wanted to give you that 
analogy because it's kind of 

709
00:35:04,500 --> 00:35:06,300
like what the messenger did 
select show them. 

710
00:35:06,300 --> 00:35:10,300
But there are some differences 
and the commonality however is 

711
00:35:10,300 --> 00:35:12,600
that those people that the 
prophet came to have not had a 

712
00:35:12,607 --> 00:35:15,000
message from their King for 
many. 

713
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,500
Many generations, were encounter
Mill, Kabal, Lafitte La Lima 

714
00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:20,000
Bean. 
The first thing, what did the 

715
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,600
messenger? 
Do he recited? 

716
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,400
Allah Allah's ayats yet. 
LOL. 

717
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:28,000
Hey, Maya, T people? 
Read the message of the Quran 

718
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,600
and he's claiming that this is 
from God. 

719
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,300
It's from Allah. 
They said, how do you know it's 

720
00:35:31,300 --> 00:35:34,000
from Allah? 
How do we know what proof? 

721
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,700
Do you have that? 
This is from Allah, the words of

722
00:35:36,700 --> 00:35:42,200
Allah, or so powerful or so, 
Grand were so inimitable, you 

723
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:43,900
couldn't produce something like 
them. 

724
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,400
You were so overwhelmed by them 
that the audience that would 

725
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,100
hear it would know immediately 
that those words don't belong to

726
00:35:51,100 --> 00:35:53,500
a human being. 
They were experiencing the 

727
00:35:53,500 --> 00:35:57,900
miracle of Allah has words 
directly and That alone was 

728
00:35:57,900 --> 00:36:00,300
humbling them. 
They were instances where people

729
00:36:00,300 --> 00:36:03,400
came to debate with the prophet 
salallahu alayhi wasalam, and he

730
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,000
would recite ayat and he would 
get to an eyewear Allah 

731
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,500
commands, everyone fall into 
sajda disbelievers. 

732
00:36:09,500 --> 00:36:12,200
The entire Congregation of them 
would fall in prostration. 

733
00:36:12,900 --> 00:36:15,900
That happened. 
The Quran commands words, 

734
00:36:15,900 --> 00:36:18,000
overpowered them, and that's the
first thing. 

735
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,700
The prophet did introduce people
to the miraculous power of the 

736
00:36:21,700 --> 00:36:24,500
Quran yet. 
Luo La he myAT&T he's 

737
00:36:24,500 --> 00:36:27,000
introducing them and while he's 
introducing Them. 

738
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,500
They are in awe that this this 
does not belong to this human 

739
00:36:30,500 --> 00:36:32,500
being. 
This is coming from a much more 

740
00:36:32,500 --> 00:36:36,300
Grand, much more Royal, much 
more powerful Source then some 

741
00:36:36,300 --> 00:36:38,900
people were in so much. 
All of that word that they 

742
00:36:38,900 --> 00:36:41,700
wanted to accept that word and 
recognize that they want to. 

743
00:36:41,707 --> 00:36:44,400
Now become purified. 
These were the people that then 

744
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,200
come accompanied the prophet 
sallallahu alehiwassallaam, they

745
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,100
became they came all around him,
they hovered around him. 

746
00:36:50,100 --> 00:36:53,500
They formed a society around him
and he would give them constant 

747
00:36:53,500 --> 00:36:55,500
reminder for the kid enough 
Attitude Era. 

748
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,700
Remind if the reminder, ER, has 
any benefit for enough that they

749
00:36:58,700 --> 00:37:01,400
caught on fire and we need 
continuous reminder is going to 

750
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,400
benefit Believers. 
The prophets are selling would 

751
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,600
continuously, give them a 
reminder through the word of 

752
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,200
Allah. 
And through that, reminder, two 

753
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,500
things happened, their hearts 
start being purified of greed of

754
00:37:10,500 --> 00:37:15,100
jealousy of materialism of want 
and worry about worldly things 

755
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:16,900
there. 
Their heart start becoming more 

756
00:37:16,900 --> 00:37:19,100
and more connected to Allah, and
less and less connected to 

757
00:37:19,100 --> 00:37:21,600
material things. 
They start seeing things in a 

758
00:37:21,607 --> 00:37:24,800
more refined and beautiful way, 
but their minds start getting 

759
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,600
refined to their thought 
process. 

760
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,900
It's changing, they start 
criticizing things, they 

761
00:37:28,900 --> 00:37:31,500
previously didn't criticize, 
they start appreciating things, 

762
00:37:31,500 --> 00:37:34,600
previously didn't appreciate a 
purification is happening 

763
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,200
because of their constant 
exposure to Revelation. 

764
00:37:37,300 --> 00:37:40,000
This Quran is transforming them 
with this regular exposure. 

765
00:37:40,100 --> 00:37:42,500
This is what, use a key him, his
purifying them. 

766
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,200
And when they, they reach the 
point of purification, their 

767
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,600
hearts and Minds were completely
submitted before. 

768
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,500
Allah after they were in all 
Velez Miracles already, these 

769
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:55,000
became the strongest of people 
people that were willing to 

770
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,600
leave everything behind, and 
when Allah gives, Of them laws. 

771
00:37:57,700 --> 00:37:59,800
Finally, with a less started 
giving them laws. 

772
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,600
When he started telling them 
that certain foods that you've 

773
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,900
been eating your whole life, you
can no longer eat certain drinks

774
00:38:05,900 --> 00:38:08,100
that are addictive in nature, 
wine, and alcohol. 

775
00:38:08,100 --> 00:38:11,500
Addictive in nature that you've 
been enjoying your entire life, 

776
00:38:11,500 --> 00:38:13,100
today is the day you stop 
drinking. 

777
00:38:13,100 --> 00:38:16,000
That's it. 
Certain clothing. 

778
00:38:16,300 --> 00:38:18,600
Are, you know, women that loved 
beautifying themselves in 

779
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,000
dressing up and going out in 
Social, Gatherings and doing all

780
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,500
of that. 
And then Quran comes and says 

781
00:38:22,500 --> 00:38:25,300
no, from today on you're going 
to dress like this and gave them

782
00:38:25,300 --> 00:38:28,100
laws. 
When Allah gave those laws, 

783
00:38:28,100 --> 00:38:31,300
these people were immediately 
ready to implement those laws. 

784
00:38:31,300 --> 00:38:33,500
Why did that happen? 
Because two things had already 

785
00:38:33,500 --> 00:38:36,000
happened over a long period of 
time yet Luella. 

786
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,700
Hey, Maya teehee, they were a 
novel has Miracle. 

787
00:38:39,100 --> 00:38:42,200
They were humbled by Allah's 
words and they were constantly 

788
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,900
being purified by reminder. 
And then finally, they were 

789
00:38:44,900 --> 00:38:47,400
ready to learn the law. 
I'm reminded I always repeat it 

790
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,100
because it's such epic words by 
eyeshadow the Allahu Kana. 

791
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,800
Now, a well, a man has a lab in 
Al qarani Latasha bull Hammer, 

792
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,500
Lacuna, wallahi London, through 
Cal camera Abaddon. 

793
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,200
She says if the first thing ever
revealed in the Quran was don't 

794
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,500
drink alcohol. 
We would have said well la he 

795
00:39:02,500 --> 00:39:04,800
will never stop the consumption 
of alcohol ever. 

796
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,500
We will never give it up because
we weren't purified yet. 

797
00:39:08,500 --> 00:39:10,000
That's the point that she's 
making you know. 

798
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,000
So here we are at Louella him 
ayat. 

799
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,800
He is a very powerful actually 
what your Ali Mohammed kitab 

800
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:17,900
teaches them. 
The book is a very, very 

801
00:39:17,900 --> 00:39:22,200
powerful reminder that we have 
to internalize that laws. 

802
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,100
That the regulations of Islam 
aren't just taught just like 

803
00:39:25,100 --> 00:39:26,200
that. 
Do this, don't do this. 

804
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,700
This is what we do with our Our 
children nowadays, this is hot 

805
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:30,000
on, this is hot on. 
This is hot on. 

806
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,200
If you really want them to 
transform, then they have to go 

807
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,100
through the same process that 
the Quran identified here, you 

808
00:39:36,100 --> 00:39:39,800
know. 
Now finally is the endless 

809
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:44,000
Journey while hikmah and he 
teaches them the wisdom, why do 

810
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,100
I call that the endless Journey.
See laws are a finite set of 

811
00:39:48,100 --> 00:39:50,600
regulations. 
It's a number of rules. 

812
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:52,700
This is prohibited. 
This is prohibited. 

813
00:39:52,700 --> 00:39:55,800
This is prohibited. 
This is a mandatory requirement.

814
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,900
This is what you must. 
You must Five times a day, if 

815
00:39:57,900 --> 00:39:59,300
you can afford to, you must go 
to Hajj. 

816
00:39:59,300 --> 00:40:02,900
You must fast in the month of 
Ramadan laws are finite and 

817
00:40:02,900 --> 00:40:05,400
regular regulated. 
There's not an infinite number 

818
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:10,200
of laws in Islam, but wisdom is 
an entirely different entity. 

819
00:40:10,700 --> 00:40:13,500
Wisdom is an endless lifelong 
Pursuit. 

820
00:40:13,500 --> 00:40:15,700
The Quran didn't just come here 
to give us laws. 

821
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:20,300
The Quran came to give us 
endless lifelong wisdom. 

822
00:40:20,300 --> 00:40:23,800
My entire life will be spent 
exploring the wisdom of the 

823
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,400
Quran, and I will leave this 
world having only captured a few

824
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,800
drops, that's the nature of 
wisdom. 

825
00:40:30,300 --> 00:40:31,800
And so, Allah will judge says 
that. 

826
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,100
Finally, he teaches them the 
wisdom, he teaches them a way to

827
00:40:35,100 --> 00:40:37,500
engage with this book and draw 
more and more, and more 

828
00:40:37,500 --> 00:40:40,000
Treasures from it. 
And this is done by means of 

829
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,600
reflection and contemplation of 
a leotard up Brunel Quran, don't

830
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,900
they pondered deeply upon the 
Quran, you know, this is the 

831
00:40:46,900 --> 00:40:49,200
process that was given. 
By the way, one more thing about

832
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,400
about wisdom is that wisdom also
starts, teaching you the wisdom 

833
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,300
behind the laws. 
It starts actually showing you 

834
00:40:55,300 --> 00:40:57,200
that Islam isn't just a bunch of
regulations. 

835
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,000
It's actually a moral code, it's
a spiritual code. 

836
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,900
These laws have a spiritual 
benefit, a moral benefit. 

837
00:41:03,100 --> 00:41:05,500
You know, that's wisdom behind 
the laws. 

838
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,400
That starts becoming manifest as
you study. 

839
00:41:08,700 --> 00:41:11,400
These are the four steps of 
transformation that the prophet 

840
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,800
slice along was given. 
Now I get to one of my favorite 

841
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:19,000
Parts in this presentation, and 
that is how these four parts 

842
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,900
that I just shared with. 
You were able to transform that 

843
00:41:22,900 --> 00:41:26,400
Society. 
That had been lost for many, 

844
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:30,000
many many generations. 
Allah is telling us that the 

845
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:35,000
Quran cannot be underestimated. 
The Quran cannot be, it's not 

846
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,800
just a book that you read. 
The Quran is a book that you use

847
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:42,600
to be completely transformed. 
These four tasks of the Prophet.

848
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,000
I remind you again. 
He recites the ayaat, he 

849
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,400
purifies them, he teaches them 
the law. 

850
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,500
He teaches them. 
The wisdom are actually 

851
00:41:50,500 --> 00:41:54,200
perfectly super imposed on the 
four names of Allah that I 

852
00:41:54,207 --> 00:41:57,000
started this discussion with 
this is one of my favorite parts

853
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:01,400
of this presentation. 
You know Allah azzawajal will 

854
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:06,600
say but I remind you of those 
four names, the king, the pure, 

855
00:42:07,100 --> 00:42:09,700
The Authority, the wise go back 
to the king. 

856
00:42:10,700 --> 00:42:13,700
The king is known by one people 
came and saw this Ambassador. 

857
00:42:13,700 --> 00:42:15,800
They were skeptical or you 
really from a king, what did he 

858
00:42:15,808 --> 00:42:19,100
have to show them proof? 
What are the ayaats? 

859
00:42:19,900 --> 00:42:23,300
When the messenger recites, the 
ayaat on to the people when he 

860
00:42:23,300 --> 00:42:26,100
shows them the Miracles? 
What is he actually doing? 

861
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,700
He's now showing them the the 
The proof that this can only be 

862
00:42:30,700 --> 00:42:33,600
from Allah through the ayaat 
they get to know their King. 

863
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,900
Notice also, even in the 
introduction, to the Quran, one 

864
00:42:36,900 --> 00:42:39,500
of the first introductions to 
Allah Al hamdu, lillahi, rabbil 

865
00:42:39,500 --> 00:42:42,100
al-amin r-rahmani, r-rahim 
Malachy, omuty. 

866
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,800
Not the this closeness and 
ar-rahman ar-rahim, and then 

867
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,300
there's this Grandeur, the king,
the kingdom of Allah, the 

868
00:42:48,300 --> 00:42:50,700
kingdom of God or the king of 
the day of judgment, the master 

869
00:42:50,700 --> 00:42:54,800
and the owner of the day of 
judgement now The king is known 

870
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,100
by his signs. 
So you had literally, he Maya T.

871
00:42:57,300 --> 00:42:59,900
That's how people will be in all
of Allah when they're introduced

872
00:42:59,900 --> 00:43:03,400
to the miracle of the Quran. 
The second name of Allah was a 

873
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,100
good dose. 
Alko du musst means what the 

874
00:43:06,100 --> 00:43:09,000
pure think about. 
What is the second task of the 

875
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:10,700
prophet? 
Salallahu alayhi wasalam in the 

876
00:43:10,700 --> 00:43:14,500
second Ayah, where user key him 
and he purifies them. 

877
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:19,200
The pure is the name of Allah 
and inspired by that name. 

878
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,600
This is what your messenger 
does, he purifies people by 

879
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:26,000
bringing them closer. 
Sir, to the pure this name. 

880
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,000
And this task of the prophets, 
life seldom are corresponding to

881
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,600
each other. 
This is what the prophet is 

882
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,600
doing. 
He's bringing these four names 

883
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:36,200
of Allah into people's hearts. 
He's in his instilling them into

884
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,600
people's hearts. 
If you look at the third name or

885
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,800
the third name of Allah was I 
like as he's the ultimate 

886
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,100
Authority, The Authority that 
should be respected. 

887
00:43:43,100 --> 00:43:45,500
And what is it for D? 
If not, the lawgiver and 

888
00:43:45,500 --> 00:43:48,800
Authority is the lawgiver, The 
Messengers, I saw them. 

889
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,600
Then teaches the law, the law on
behalf of who, on behalf of the 

890
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,600
authority. 
Whose authority should be 

891
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:58,000
respected until you develop an 
honor and respect for that 

892
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,400
Authority. 
Until you don't realize that 

893
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,400
everything that Authority does 
is there to purify you, you will

894
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:04,900
not be able to implement that 
law. 

895
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,200
You will not be able to live by 
that law that you're supposed 

896
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,200
the way you're supposed to. 
So, because he's allies, he's 

897
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:14,500
the messenger fulfills that has 
of Allah by teaching the people,

898
00:44:14,500 --> 00:44:18,100
the law of Allah Aziz, the 
constitution of that Authority. 

899
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:22,600
Then finally, a Las last name in
the first Iowa's, al-hakim the 

900
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,300
wise And what is the name of 
Allah that al-hakim 

901
00:44:26,300 --> 00:44:28,800
corresponding to in the activity
of the prophet's voice from the 

902
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,700
task of the prophesy Saddam? 
He says, subhanahu wa'ta'ala, 

903
00:44:32,100 --> 00:44:35,400
were you Ali Mohammed kotoba? 
Well, heck my he teaches them 

904
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,500
wisdom, it is a lot of the 
ultimately wise, who will now 

905
00:44:38,500 --> 00:44:42,300
teach his Messenger to inspire 
wisdom, into his followers, into

906
00:44:42,300 --> 00:44:45,400
his into the subjects, those who
will accept this call and accept

907
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,200
this Faith. 
Subhan, Allah for names of Allah

908
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,300
directly superimposed on the for
tasks. 

909
00:44:51,300 --> 00:44:55,400
Given to the messenger of Allah 
salallahu alaihe This is the 

910
00:44:55,800 --> 00:45:00,000
incredible incredible journey of
the Quran that people went 

911
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,500
through to instill. 
Those names that the heavens and

912
00:45:02,500 --> 00:45:05,000
the Earth recognize when they 
declare his Perfection, what a 

913
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,600
life saying is, if you can 
internalize these names, you 

914
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,500
will be in harmony with the 
heavens and the Earth. 

915
00:45:09,500 --> 00:45:12,000
That's what the prophet came to 
do, is to bring to you. 

916
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,900
The order that is already all 
around you, you know, Allah will

917
00:45:14,900 --> 00:45:18,000
say, for example, a shumsa, 
welcome, Ruby husband, when 

918
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,500
najma was arrested on the star 
and the 3DO sajda. 

919
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:23,500
Why is he telling us the truth, 
the start? 

920
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:27,400
The tree do sajda or the birds 
do test be Allah says the birds.

921
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,900
Do test be, you know what it 
means, shayin illa, yusabbihu, 

922
00:45:30,900 --> 00:45:33,900
bihamdihi Robbie, you know. 
Well, a key lot of kahuna 

923
00:45:33,900 --> 00:45:37,000
tasbeha mistletoe is so is there
anything that doesn't declare 

924
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:38,000
its Perfection? 
How can we? 

925
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,600
But you can't understand it. 
Now we're going to be in harmony

926
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,400
with the rest of creation around
us, you know, having said, all 

927
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,500
of that. 
Now, I get to the juicy part. 

928
00:45:46,500 --> 00:45:49,900
How do we think about 
self-transformation, the 

929
00:45:49,900 --> 00:45:52,200
prophet's alaihi Salam? 
Was given a? 

930
00:45:52,700 --> 00:45:54,300
It's an interesting question 
before I get to the province. 

931
00:45:54,300 --> 00:45:57,800
Like the time, you know, we, we 
think of this amazing 

932
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,200
transformation that happened and
since I was little, maybe you've

933
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,000
heard this too. 
If you've been attending could 

934
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,000
buzz and sermons your whole 
life, how great those companions

935
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:08,300
were, how amazing their change 
was what incredible 

936
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,200
transformation they went through
and what amazing submission to 

937
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,300
Allah the demonstrated. 
And you keep hearing about that 

938
00:46:13,300 --> 00:46:15,300
and you keep asking yourself. 
Yeah, that was them. 

939
00:46:15,300 --> 00:46:17,900
What about me? 
I mean they were awesome. 

940
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:22,800
I get it I'm clearly not. 
Hi, my capable of that kind of 

941
00:46:22,808 --> 00:46:25,500
transformation is the Quran only
talking to me about an 

942
00:46:25,500 --> 00:46:28,500
incredible historical 
transformation, or is it telling

943
00:46:28,500 --> 00:46:32,200
me something I myself am capable
of look at the third idea. 

944
00:46:32,700 --> 00:46:36,800
Look at what Allah says well 
Ocarina mean Homeland Mi hakuba 

945
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:42,100
him Wahoo Allah Aziz Al Hakim 
there are other than them those 

946
00:46:42,100 --> 00:46:44,900
who are not from the Arabs and 
others and them could also mean 

947
00:46:44,900 --> 00:46:48,100
other Generations that haven't 
yet joined them. 

948
00:46:48,100 --> 00:46:50,600
This is the third eye. 
There are other than the other 

949
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,700
than them. 
Ourselves, who haven't yet 

950
00:46:52,700 --> 00:46:56,700
joined them and what Lam yahkum 
Bima, who Allah Aziz Al Hakim 

951
00:46:56,700 --> 00:47:00,500
and he's the ultimate Authority.
Always, Allah is already saying 

952
00:47:00,500 --> 00:47:06,600
this incredible spiritual moral.
Ethical Revolution is not 

953
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:10,500
limited to these few people in 
the company of the prophets of 

954
00:47:10,500 --> 00:47:12,700
Allah who seldom. 
This is something that is meant 

955
00:47:12,700 --> 00:47:15,400
to continue because he is the 
final messenger, others. 

956
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,700
Haven't, yet joined them, they 
will never have met their 

957
00:47:17,700 --> 00:47:19,200
Prophet, but they'll meet the 
Quran. 

958
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,200
They'll never have bet the 
companions, but they'll meet the

959
00:47:22,207 --> 00:47:24,900
same transformation. 
They're coming, they're on the 

960
00:47:24,900 --> 00:47:28,000
way by saying that even the 
companions of the Prophet or 

961
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,900
somewhere, like others, who are 
these others? 

962
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,800
Manhattan, Willa, we were 
sitting in the company of the 

963
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:35,800
Prophet. 
They say gonna loosen and the 

964
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,300
Nabi Saleh Ali Salim. 
We were sitting in the company 

965
00:47:38,300 --> 00:47:40,800
of the prophets are Salam. 
When you know, Nazareth, 

966
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,500
alehissalaam are the sort of 
humor. 

967
00:47:42,500 --> 00:47:45,100
I came down the suit. 
I came down and when he started 

968
00:47:45,100 --> 00:47:47,700
reciting, he resided. 
Others haven't yet, joined them?

969
00:47:47,900 --> 00:47:49,600
Well Ocarina. 
Minimal have Kobe. 

970
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,700
You haven't joined them yet and 
when they heard this, are there 

971
00:47:52,700 --> 00:47:54,300
like man. 
How would I also love? 

972
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,800
Who are these people? 
And the prophets are sort of 

973
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:02,400
looks at Salman al-farsi, he 
looks at someone Farsi. 

974
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,600
And now, before I tell you what 
happens, next you to know 

975
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:05,900
something about someone else VAR
C. 

976
00:48:06,100 --> 00:48:07,700
If you don't know, it gives them
as you. 

977
00:48:07,700 --> 00:48:09,900
For those of you don't know, his
name is Salman, the Persian 

978
00:48:10,700 --> 00:48:12,800
tells you where he's from is 
from Persia. 

979
00:48:13,100 --> 00:48:16,200
He was born and raised in a 
zoroastrian fire worshipping 

980
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,900
Priestly family, his family was 
part of the religious clergy of 

981
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,900
Fire worship, he denounced his 
religion, couldn't take, it 

982
00:48:23,100 --> 00:48:26,400
didn't make sense to him. 
He sought the one true God, and 

983
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:30,500
he was, you know, persecuted 
imprisoned tortured because of 

984
00:48:30,500 --> 00:48:32,900
his belief, he was an 
embarrassment to his family. 

985
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:37,600
He escapes prison runs off 
seeking truth and ends up in the

986
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,000
mentorship of a Christian monk 
who teaches them previous 

987
00:48:40,100 --> 00:48:42,600
teachers in previous scripture, 
you know, the Old Testament, the

988
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:44,900
Hebrew Bible and he teaches 
them, the message of recently. 

989
00:48:44,900 --> 00:48:48,400
Some Jesus also teaches them the
signs of a final coming profit 

990
00:48:48,500 --> 00:48:52,400
who's going to come in the land 
of So, Salman al-farsi says, I 

991
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,500
need to go there if there's a 
sign, any hope that a final 

992
00:48:55,500 --> 00:48:58,400
Prophet is coming. 
I want to go and see, so he 

993
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,700
goes, and actually gets caught 
up, gets enslaved, ends up in 

994
00:49:01,700 --> 00:49:04,900
Medina as a slave and remains 
there, waiting in anticipation 

995
00:49:04,900 --> 00:49:07,700
for the prophets is on them. 
And when the prophesy Sun 

996
00:49:07,700 --> 00:49:09,900
finally came to Medina, he 
presented himself and said, this

997
00:49:09,900 --> 00:49:13,900
is how I've come. 
I came seeking you, you know, I 

998
00:49:13,900 --> 00:49:16,500
come back to the story. 
This is a Persian who was in an 

999
00:49:16,500 --> 00:49:20,100
environment that had nothing to 
do with Islam had no message Age

1000
00:49:20,100 --> 00:49:22,900
no preaching to him, he sought 
the truth himself and ended up 

1001
00:49:22,900 --> 00:49:25,300
in the company and at the 
footsteps of the prophets like 

1002
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:27,600
Saddam. 
This is the Man People asked the

1003
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:29,500
prophet when this idea came 
others. 

1004
00:49:29,500 --> 00:49:31,700
Haven't yet joined, who are 
they? 

1005
00:49:32,100 --> 00:49:36,900
He pointed at Salomon and 5c. 
And said, you know, local Amanda

1006
00:49:36,900 --> 00:49:40,800
Surya if Faith were so far. 
It was on planet. 

1007
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:45,700
Jupiter the Nile Ahuja, Lumen 
hula men like him, people like 

1008
00:49:45,700 --> 00:49:48,900
him would have reached it. 
There are people that are going 

1009
00:49:48,900 --> 00:49:51,700
to be on a quest, no matter 
where they are in the world. 

1010
00:49:51,900 --> 00:49:55,400
How far away from Islam, they 
are how they have no idea what 

1011
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,900
La is. 
They have no big knowledge of 

1012
00:49:57,908 --> 00:50:01,000
the Arabic language or of Muslim
Society or nothing. 

1013
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,500
They don't know what Quran is a 
little Revelation is nothing, 

1014
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:04,600
they have no clue. 
What? 

1015
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,300
Ever and those people are going 
to find Allah. 

1016
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,900
And he says these are the people
that Lush talking about in this 

1017
00:50:10,900 --> 00:50:14,800
journey, in other words that 
that transformation did not stop

1018
00:50:15,100 --> 00:50:18,300
with that generation, it 
continues by pointing at Salman 

1019
00:50:18,300 --> 00:50:21,800
al-farsi the prophet of Allah 
sallallahu alayhe wassallam was 

1020
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:25,100
in fact pointing at all of us. 
He was telling us the 

1021
00:50:25,100 --> 00:50:27,500
transformation that you would 
you and I are capable of. 

1022
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:31,400
And so we need to understand 
what it means to engage in that 

1023
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:33,900
journey of transformation. 
This is what I want to share 

1024
00:50:33,900 --> 00:50:36,100
with you. 
Now, towards the conclusion, I 

1025
00:50:36,100 --> 00:50:38,900
don't want you to just 
experience or Just hear this 

1026
00:50:38,900 --> 00:50:41,900
theory of transformation, I want
to let you know that I've turned

1027
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,000
that sort of into a mission of 
my own. 

1028
00:50:44,700 --> 00:50:48,200
How can I help myself and others
engage in that journey of self 

1029
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:51,000
transformation? 
We feel that we have a solution 

1030
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,700
to implement the lessons that 
I've talked to you today in this

1031
00:50:53,700 --> 00:50:56,300
Ayah through something we call 
the unit TV. 

1032
00:50:56,300 --> 00:50:58,600
Some of you are familiar with it
but I'd like to introduce to you

1033
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,500
how but, you know, TV operates 
and what we're hoping to 

1034
00:51:01,500 --> 00:51:04,000
accomplish for yourselves. 
And it is, it is at the end of 

1035
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,700
the day, my life mission 
everything I try to do is to 

1036
00:51:06,700 --> 00:51:09,900
create this resource, so Can 
experience the transformation. 

1037
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:13,300
Then I myself, am so inspired by
and I hope that you'll expect 

1038
00:51:13,300 --> 00:51:16,600
except this journey from me. 
What I told you about the tasks 

1039
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:18,300
of the prophets lesson. 
Let's go back to that. 

1040
00:51:18,900 --> 00:51:21,000
Actually, before that, let me 
tell you what being a TV is 

1041
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:23,000
about. 
It's about you going on a 

1042
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:27,700
journey through the entire Quran
in a way that is that brings 

1043
00:51:27,700 --> 00:51:29,900
light into your life. 
In a, in a way that you can 

1044
00:51:29,900 --> 00:51:32,200
manage, I know people are busy. 
Some of you are moms. 

1045
00:51:32,300 --> 00:51:34,300
Some people working 
professionals college students, 

1046
00:51:34,300 --> 00:51:35,800
you have different engagements 
in life. 

1047
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,900
Were always going to be busy. 
We need I have an engagement 

1048
00:51:38,900 --> 00:51:41,800
with the Quran, for those who 
cannot drop everything and just 

1049
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,300
to leave the Quran full time. 
We need an engagement with the 

1050
00:51:44,300 --> 00:51:47,800
Quran that we can systematically
continuously and seriously make 

1051
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,100
progress with the Quran on our 
own schedule. 

1052
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,200
So here's our plan for you. 
The first plan for you is to 

1053
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,500
study just the Fatiha number 
one. 

1054
00:51:55,700 --> 00:51:57,000
That's all. 
I'd like you to do is study the 

1055
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,000
fatty how we put a recording of 
the fact that had together. 

1056
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:05,000
I delivered it some years ago 
and the purpose of this Fatiha 

1057
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:06,600
isn't just introduce you to the 
Quran. 

1058
00:52:06,700 --> 00:52:10,000
Of course, the best introduction
to Lot and to the Quran itself 

1059
00:52:10,300 --> 00:52:13,000
is Allah has own introduction. 
Which is the first Surah the 

1060
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,600
Fatiha. 
But the way I presented this to 

1061
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:18,800
highlight, how is it actually? 
So beautiful? 

1062
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:22,700
It can only be divine. 
Like I'm not just translating it

1063
00:52:22,700 --> 00:52:25,000
and teaching you some of the 
lessons inside the Fatiha. 

1064
00:52:25,100 --> 00:52:27,700
I'm trying to highlight as 
miraculous miraculous Beauty and

1065
00:52:27,700 --> 00:52:29,500
power. 
That's what I'm trying to do. 

1066
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,800
I really love this stuff's 
particularly have a special bond

1067
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:36,100
with it because I've met people 
who used to be pastors and 

1068
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,100
people who followed other faiths
who came to Islam because they 

1069
00:52:39,100 --> 00:52:40,600
heard this. 
Does they heard this explanation

1070
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:42,800
of the Fatiha? 
So I feel that that's an 

1071
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,300
important start and an important
part of our contribution for 

1072
00:52:45,300 --> 00:52:48,200
you. 
The study of the Fatiha once 

1073
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:50,300
you're done with the study of 
the fact, how my hope is that 

1074
00:52:50,300 --> 00:52:52,300
you're now curious about the 
rest of the Quran. 

1075
00:52:52,300 --> 00:52:54,800
If party has so unique, so 
beautiful. 

1076
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,500
So remarkable. 
What else have I been missing 

1077
00:52:57,500 --> 00:53:00,600
out in the Quran. 
What else does it have to offer?

1078
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,600
And that's where I'd like you to
take you to Divine speech. 

1079
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,000
Divine speech is a program. 
I put together many years ago. 

1080
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,100
I traveled many parts of the 
world. 

1081
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:10,300
I'm teaching the seminar and 
it's been recorded now, 

1082
00:53:10,300 --> 00:53:12,300
alhamdulillah available, on 
being a TV. 

1083
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,000
I'll tell you simply the purpose
of divine speech and the way I 

1084
00:53:15,008 --> 00:53:17,300
like to define the purpose of 
device features, what happens at

1085
00:53:17,300 --> 00:53:20,800
the end of divine speech, when 
you're done with Divine speech, 

1086
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:24,100
you're supposed to be able to 
come out and say, wow, this is 

1087
00:53:24,100 --> 00:53:27,600
definitely from Allah. 
This is not the word of a human 

1088
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:29,100
being. 
That's all. 

1089
00:53:29,300 --> 00:53:30,600
I'm not even trying to convince 
you. 

1090
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:32,400
I'm just trying to show you what
makes the Quran. 

1091
00:53:32,700 --> 00:53:36,100
Remarkably Annex inexplicably, 
beautiful. 

1092
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,000
Inexplicably, just humbling 
overpowering. 

1093
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,800
That's all I'm trying to do. 
I travel with it and I talked to

1094
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:44,500
seminars sometimes even 
universities and other places 

1095
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:48,000
and non-muslims attended and to 
my account at least in front of 

1096
00:53:48,008 --> 00:53:52,000
me 15 people that I know of took
shahada at this program, they 

1097
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:53,700
were transformed just I didn't 
do this. 

1098
00:53:53,700 --> 00:53:55,800
It's just I'm just explaining 
what I've come to understand. 

1099
00:53:55,900 --> 00:53:58,700
And about the power and beauty 
of the Quran through the Second 

1100
00:53:58,700 --> 00:54:03,300
Step called Divine speech here. 
Now that you've done, you know, 

1101
00:54:03,300 --> 00:54:04,900
you're being you're in awe of 
the Quran. 

1102
00:54:04,900 --> 00:54:08,100
Now you want to take that next 
step, then third step is going 

1103
00:54:08,100 --> 00:54:11,500
to be to get a picture of what 
the message of the Quran is all 

1104
00:54:11,500 --> 00:54:16,800
about an overview. 
You know, our an overview of 

1105
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,800
thematic overview of the Quran, 
the major subject matters in the

1106
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:21,600
Quran. 
The way that this course was put

1107
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:25,700
together is I took passages from
the Quran that represent some of

1108
00:54:25,700 --> 00:54:27,100
the most In Concepts in the 
quraían. 

1109
00:54:27,100 --> 00:54:29,700
If you visualize the Quran as a 
building, these are the pillars 

1110
00:54:29,700 --> 00:54:32,600
holding it together. 
So if you study, these few 

1111
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,900
passages, you have a pretty good
idea of the subject matter of 

1112
00:54:35,900 --> 00:54:37,400
the Quran. 
So, no matter where in the 

1113
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:40,500
Quran, you're studying, you can 
tie it to one of these passages,

1114
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,200
right? 
That's the notion behind it. 

1115
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:45,700
So before you study the entire 
Quran, you get kind of a bird's 

1116
00:54:45,700 --> 00:54:49,400
eye view and a pretty decent 
notion of the major subject 

1117
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:52,000
matter within it. 
That's the, you know, the 

1118
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,400
overview of the Quran, a 
thematic overview of the Quran 

1119
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,200
from there. 
Now, now, you're actually ready 

1120
00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:01,200
to embark on a step-by-step 
journey into the entire Quran, 

1121
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:02,900
but I don't want you to do that 
too. 

1122
00:55:02,900 --> 00:55:05,900
In depth yet, I want you to have
a good view of the entire good 

1123
00:55:05,900 --> 00:55:10,100
read, a guided read of the 
entire book and that's why I put

1124
00:55:10,100 --> 00:55:12,700
together a concise commentary on
the Quran. 

1125
00:55:12,700 --> 00:55:16,500
This video series is just you 
listen to 15, 20 minutes of 

1126
00:55:16,500 --> 00:55:19,300
Quran every day little by little
by little. 

1127
00:55:19,300 --> 00:55:22,700
And as you keep going and making
progress in your new reading of 

1128
00:55:22,700 --> 00:55:24,600
the Quran. 
It doesn't matter if it takes 

1129
00:55:24,607 --> 00:55:26,900
you two years or five years 
years at end, it doesn't even 

1130
00:55:26,900 --> 00:55:30,600
matter, but you're getting drops
of the Quran in Translation with

1131
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:32,900
brief explanation. 
Especially the parts that are 

1132
00:55:32,900 --> 00:55:35,700
hard to understand that are 
commonly misquoted or 

1133
00:55:35,700 --> 00:55:38,600
mistranslated parts that are 
particularly confusing. 

1134
00:55:38,700 --> 00:55:40,000
I'll highlight in simple 
language. 

1135
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:41,800
Hey, this is what it actually 
means or here some of the 

1136
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,700
lessons that come from this but 
not too in-depth, it's not 

1137
00:55:44,700 --> 00:55:47,400
overwhelming. 
The point of it is you're 

1138
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,200
getting your daily dose of Quran
now. 

1139
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,100
And you're going through the 
entire Quran, this way, this is 

1140
00:55:52,100 --> 00:55:56,800
the Quran, a concise commentary 
and then comes the final step to

1141
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:59,000
me, my favorite step, actually. 
And you don't want to jump the 

1142
00:55:59,008 --> 00:56:01,200
gun and get their first. 
I'd like you to go through this 

1143
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,100
process and take your time with 
it. 

1144
00:56:03,900 --> 00:56:05,800
The final step is what we call a
deeper look. 

1145
00:56:06,500 --> 00:56:09,600
And deeper look is what I 
decided to do myself and you'll 

1146
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:11,600
experience this to. 
Once you go through the Quran, 

1147
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:14,100
one end to the other, you'll 
realize, there's so much more I 

1148
00:56:14,107 --> 00:56:17,000
want to learn. 
I passed It's like I touch the 

1149
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,600
surface of the ocean. 
There's so much going on deeper.

1150
00:56:19,900 --> 00:56:22,600
I want to go back and experience
it again and again and again and

1151
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:24,800
again. 
And so what I decided to do a 

1152
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:29,400
few years ago is I restarted my 
study of the entire Quran, I'm 

1153
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:32,900
studying it like I'm assuming 
I've never studied it before and

1154
00:56:32,900 --> 00:56:35,800
I try to study it in more depth 
than I've ever tried to study it

1155
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:37,600
before. 
I've actually even put together 

1156
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:39,000
and being out hundred, I'm very 
grateful. 

1157
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,800
We have a research team put 
together that helps me study the

1158
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,700
Quran in depth before the 
in-depth lectures are given so 

1159
00:56:44,700 --> 00:56:47,900
that I can we can make our 
Effort in trying to offer you a 

1160
00:56:47,908 --> 00:56:51,700
deeper meaning and I have a more
profound understanding of the 

1161
00:56:51,700 --> 00:56:53,500
word of Allah to the best of our
ability. 

1162
00:56:53,700 --> 00:56:55,700
That's a deeper look, that's 
something I'm going to be 

1163
00:56:55,700 --> 00:56:57,500
engaged in for the foreseeable 
future. 

1164
00:56:57,500 --> 00:56:59,900
I see years and years ahead of 
me where I'm going to be doing a

1165
00:56:59,908 --> 00:57:01,500
deeper look. 
And that's what I want for. 

1166
00:57:01,500 --> 00:57:05,500
You is to be engaged in this 
journey to go along its I'm not 

1167
00:57:05,500 --> 00:57:06,900
interested in, you finishing the
journey. 

1168
00:57:07,100 --> 00:57:10,100
I'm just interested in you 
taking a step in that journey 

1169
00:57:10,300 --> 00:57:12,800
and that's what brings me to the
conclusion of this webinar. 

1170
00:57:13,100 --> 00:57:15,500
These five items that I 
mentioned to you. 

1171
00:57:15,500 --> 00:57:19,300
Starting With the Fatiha doing 
Divine speech, doing the the 

1172
00:57:19,300 --> 00:57:21,900
overview of thematic, overview 
of the Quran, the concise 

1173
00:57:21,900 --> 00:57:24,200
commentary and the deeper look, 
these five steps you know what 

1174
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:27,200
they're inspired by their 
inspired by those four tasks 

1175
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,000
given to the prophets Allah who 
are using them. 

1176
00:57:29,100 --> 00:57:31,800
That's what I want to show you. 
The first task of the Prophet 

1177
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:33,800
slicer them was yet. 
Louella homogeneity. 

1178
00:57:33,900 --> 00:57:38,100
He introduces people to the 
Miracles introduces people to 

1179
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:41,200
the Grand or you know the 
Amazing Word of Allah that 

1180
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:44,300
humbles them before their King 
that is actually the thought 

1181
00:57:44,300 --> 00:57:47,400
behind putting the fatty house. 
He's and the Divine speech 

1182
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:50,900
series together you go through 
those two steps because that's 

1183
00:57:50,900 --> 00:57:53,400
our way of giving you some Taste
of yet, LOL. 

1184
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,700
Hey Marty, that's that first 
task of the prophets lights on 

1185
00:57:55,707 --> 00:57:57,600
them. 
The second task of the 

1186
00:57:57,600 --> 00:57:59,500
Prophecies of them was were user
key him. 

1187
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:02,100
He cleanses them, he purifies 
them. 

1188
00:58:02,100 --> 00:58:05,000
How did he purify them? 
Continuous consistent. 

1189
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,800
Reminder, the Thematic overview,
and then the concise, commentary

1190
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:10,100
of the Quran. 
What are we? 

1191
00:58:10,100 --> 00:58:13,600
Hoping it is for you. 
Continuous consistent, reminder,

1192
00:58:13,900 --> 00:58:17,500
it's a means by which were 
hoping your hearts are purified.

1193
00:58:17,500 --> 00:58:20,800
Your your minds are purified. 
You're listening to 15 20 

1194
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:23,500
minutes a day on your commute 
and you're finding advice that 

1195
00:58:23,500 --> 00:58:26,100
will guide your day. 
You're going to find relevance 

1196
00:58:26,100 --> 00:58:28,400
more and more and more of the 
Quran in your life because 

1197
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:31,000
you're getting a daily dose has 
dosage constantly. 

1198
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,000
I don't actually expect you to 
sit with a pen and paper and do 

1199
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:35,700
this, I just need you to get 
exposed. 

1200
00:58:35,700 --> 00:58:39,700
That's all that in itself has a 
cleansing effect but so if you 

1201
00:58:39,707 --> 00:58:41,800
go back to the tasks of the 
Prophet it was yet Louella 

1202
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:45,000
Himalaya T which is here Divine 
speech and Al Fatiha and divine 

1203
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,100
speech. 
What you Him purifies them, 

1204
00:58:47,100 --> 00:58:49,800
purifies them were hoping 
through the constant, reminder 

1205
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:52,800
of, you know, the Thematic 
overview and the concise 

1206
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:54,700
commentary. 
But then, the prophet Isaiah was

1207
00:58:54,700 --> 00:58:57,900
given that latter task, which 
was, he teaches them, the law 

1208
00:58:57,900 --> 00:59:00,500
and the wisdom and teaching, 
obviously, is when you become a 

1209
00:59:00,500 --> 00:59:03,100
student and you have a teacher, 
it's more in-depth, it's 

1210
00:59:03,100 --> 00:59:05,400
engaging. 
Now, you have to put pen and 

1211
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:07,800
paper together and that's where 
we put the deeper. 

1212
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:10,900
Look together, the deeper look 
study is looking at the Quran in

1213
00:59:10,900 --> 00:59:13,700
depth, so we can learn the law 
and learn some of the wisdom of 

1214
00:59:13,700 --> 00:59:15,400
the Quran to the best of our 
ability. 

1215
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:17,900
That's the journey. 
I'm recommending all of you 

1216
00:59:17,900 --> 00:59:21,800
take, I genuinely Jeff. 
You were sitting, I'm talking to

1217
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:24,800
you through Facebook live where 
there may be thousands of miles 

1218
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:27,300
between us, but please think of 
me as someone sitting in your 

1219
00:59:27,300 --> 00:59:29,800
living room right now, I 
genuinely mean well for you. 

1220
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,600
If you came to me personally, I 
met you at an airport at a 

1221
00:59:32,607 --> 00:59:34,500
restaurant somewhere and said, 
we'll start. 

1222
00:59:34,500 --> 00:59:36,900
How do I study the Quran? 
This is the advice I give you. 

1223
00:59:37,300 --> 00:59:38,700
This is my personal advice to 
you. 

1224
00:59:38,700 --> 00:59:41,900
I can't tell with no strings 
attached. 

1225
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:43,800
I just like you to be part of 
this journey. 

1226
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:46,500
Don't delay. 
Don't procrastinate it. 

1227
00:59:46,500 --> 00:59:49,500
Don't spend hundreds and, you 
know, hundreds of hours doing 

1228
00:59:49,500 --> 00:59:50,600
this immediately. 
No. 

1229
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:54,200
All I need is little by little, 
by little high little Moody 

1230
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:55,300
Eduardo. 
How ankle? 

1231
00:59:55,300 --> 00:59:58,000
Our Prophet says, the best. 
Deeds are the ones that are the 

1232
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:01,300
most consistent, even if they're
a little, that's all that were 

1233
01:00:01,300 --> 01:00:05,700
asked, we just need to be if I 
can die in this journey through 

1234
01:00:05,700 --> 01:00:07,100
the Quran. 
I have succeeded. 

1235
01:00:07,500 --> 01:00:09,700
That's all I care about.

dosage, just a little bit, just

1251

1268

01:02:02,900 --> 01:02:05,600
better way for them to learn 
about Islam and the Quran itself
