21) Quran Study: Surah 9:52, Surah 56:75

Study From Behrouz 1121, Sura 9:52 By Rashad, The Hypocrites, Apology To Parivash, Sura 56:75 by Lisa

Speaker 2 (0:05) In God, the believer shall trust. (0:07) In other words, if you're a believer, you must trust that God will take care of you. (0:11) God guarantees it for you. (0:14) And if something appears to be bad, you must know there's some good reason for it. (0:22) 52. (0:23) Say, you can only expect for us one of two good things in war, victory or martyrdom. (0:33) Why do we expect for you condemnation from God and retribution from Him at our hands or at our hands? (0:40) Therefore, wait, and we will wait along with you. (0:44) 53. (0:45) Say, spend willingly or unwillingly. (0:47) Nothing will be accepted from you, for you are evil people. (0:53) Rejectors of God's Messenger observed the Salat prayers. (0:58) What prevented the acceptance of their spending is that they disbelieved in God and His Messenger, and when they observed the contact prayers, Salat, they observed them lazily. (1:11) And when they gave to charity, they did so grudgingly. (1:15) This is an important verse you should remember, it's 954, remember it, when the people tell you that they think that life began with Muhammad. (1:24) They think there was no Salat before the Prophet Muhammad. (1:28) You should be reminded of this verse. (1:30) These are people who rejected the Prophet, they disbelieved in God, but they were doing their five contact prayers. (1:36) The word Salat is very specific, because Salat existed before the Prophet. (1:41) Just at the time, it had been, they had been corrupted by idol worship. (1:52) Same thing today. (1:55) 954. (1:56) This is another proof that the contact prayers did not exist before the Prophet. (2:18) Yes, this is a good point, because this verse was revealed probably less than a year before the Prophet's death. (2:30) And this is my chance to give the television public a polished surah, because I misunderstood a question yesterday. (2:38) She was saying that the verses at the end of surah 15, about people who accept the Quran partially, could not possibly be applicable to the time of the Prophet, because the Quran itself was being revealed, it was not in existence really. (2:56) Even when the Prophet died, they left the Quran in the chronological sequence, with instructions on the side, it was not organized at all into a Quran. (3:08) Now we have the Quran. (3:09) This is the Quran, the format that God wants. (3:12) And it did not exist until 20 years after the Prophet's death. (3:18) He tried to put it together. Speaker 5 (3:19) I thought it is only one verse, it is very, very strong. (3:25) Who claims the messenger? (3:30) They both claim that I am the messenger, and after that, before? (3:38) Just one verse is enough to know that after Muhammad, there is a messenger coming. Speaker 2 (3:56) 196, at the top, 55 says, Do not be impressed by their money or their children. (4:02) God turns these into means of retribution for them in this life, and their souls depart while they are disbelievers. (4:11) This is a common thing that you may come across. (4:13) Look at those people, they are not believers, but they are happy and rich, and this and that. (4:18) But they are not happy, you have to take that word out. (4:20) Because God says he would cause the money and the children to be the source of misery for them. (4:32) Then after all this misery, they leave the world as disbelievers. (4:38) 56, they swear by God that they belong with you while they do not belong with you. (4:45) They are divisive people, they will create division, they will create confusion. (4:51) Because the stephens will come out with their mouths, and they are disbelievers. (4:59) If they could find any refuge or caves or a hiding place, they will go to it rushing. (5:04) Some of them criticize your distribution of your charities. (5:09) If they are given therefrom, they become satisfied. (5:14) But if they are not given therefrom, they become objectified. (5:18) They should be satisfied with what God and his messengers have given them. (5:23) They should have said, God suffices us. (5:26) God will provide for us from his bounties through his messengers. (5:30) We are seeking only God. (5:34) And here is the distribution system for charities other than zakat. (5:38) It also applies to the cat. (5:42) Charities shall go to the poor. (5:45) So in zakat, it says your parents first. (5:49) You have to be poor. (5:51) If you are not poor, then you go to the next line, which is relative, cousins, aunts, nephews, nieces. (6:04) Until 60, charities shall go to the poor, the needy, the workers who collect them, the new converts, to free the slaves. (6:14) To those who go just by sovereign expenses, in the cause of God, and to the traveling aliens, such as God's commandments, God's omniscience most wise. (6:30) Some of them hurt the Prophet by saying he is all ears. (6:33) Say, it is better for you that he listens to you. (6:37) He believes in God and trusts the believers. (6:40) He is a mercy for those among you who believe. (6:43) Those who hurt God's messengers have incurred the painful retribution. (6:48) 62. (6:50) They swear by God to you, to please you, when God and his messengers are more worthy of pleasing if they are really believers. (7:01) Retribution for opposing God and his messengers. (7:03) 63. (7:04) Did they not know that anyone who opposes God and his messengers has incurred the fire of hell forever? (7:11) This is the worst humiliation. (7:14) 64. (7:15) The hypocrites worry that the surah may be revealed, exposing what is inside their hearts. (7:20) Say, go ahead and mock. (7:22) God will bring out what you are worried about. (7:27) If you ask them, they would say, we were only joking and playing. (7:31) Say, do you realize that you are mocking God and his revelations and his messengers? (7:37) Do not apologize. (7:39) You have disbelieved after having believed. (7:41) If you pardon some of you, they will punish others among you as a consequence of their transgressions. (7:49) 65. (7:49) The hypocrite men and the hypocrite women belong with each other. (7:52) They advocate evil and prohibit righteousness, and they are stingy. (7:57) They forgot God, so he forgot them. (8:00) The hypocrites are truly wicked. (8:02) God promises the hypocrite men and the hypocrite women, as well as the disbelievers, the fire of hell. (8:09) They abide therein forever. (8:11) It suffices them. (8:13) God has condemned them. (8:15) He has incurred an unending retribution. (8:17) So here we read four pages, most of them about the hypocrites, because they sit with us, and we look at them as believers, and then they talk to some of us, and people listen to them. (8:32) And what comes out, we call doubt in the hearts of the believers. (8:40) But God reserves the lowest pit of hell for them, because of this. (8:45) They look like believers, act like believers, so we have to be aware as we grow. (8:54) Just because we are all here in the same room, doesn't mean you have to be careful to what you listen. (9:00) This is a test for all of us. Speaker 5 (9:03) Because they are more dangerous than us. Speaker 2 (9:05) Exactly. (9:07) It could be very, very loving, friendly people, and they are with us, and then they stab you. (9:22) Yes, in fact we have many examples of this. (9:25) The people who were with us, very strong, who became very close and very friendly, but now we know they are not believers. (9:33) Because things are happening progressively, and there is a dropout point for some people. (9:39) So even though they believe, when the messengership of Pharaoh came, for example, they couldn't take it. (9:47) But they continue to come with us, and come to meet us. (9:52) You know a few of those, right? (10:11) Okay, we have five minutes of discussion. (10:24) No, charity is something that's almost fun. (10:28) That's what comes in Detroit, San Francisco, and the people in the street are hungry. (10:33) You don't even know the names, you hear them. (10:39) Right. (10:41) Of course, it's limited by your means, and by not being too eccentric. (10:46) Go ahead. Speaker 6 (10:57) Mary, this believing, arrogance of orphans. (11:06) Believing, and you still give the Zakat to your relatives? Speaker 2 (11:13) Yes, give the Zakat to the relatives. (11:16) Unless he's fighting you. (11:19) He's just disbelieving, he hasn't made a decision, he doesn't know. (11:23) But he's not fighting you actively. (11:25) Then you have to give the Zakat to the relatives. (11:29) So God says, yeah. (11:32) Because your cousin, who is not fighting you, maybe next week you read the Quran, discover God, and become better than you and me. (11:39) Right? (11:40) And maybe when you help him, this will cause him to believe. (11:45) Say, wow, this is a good system. (11:47) Those believers are charitable. (11:50) So God tells us to consider them potential believers. Speaker 4 (11:56) Shaykh, can you hear me now? Speaker 2 (11:57) Yes, Shaykh. Speaker 4 (12:02) Can you hear me? (12:04) The people who, like, I think everybody is going to get a message. (12:11) Yes, Shaykh. (12:14) But where is our duty? (12:17) Because if we, like, if we know the person gets a message and we receive it, and that we didn't give it to him, like, you know, he gets it from somebody else, is it still our duty to go against, or to not to go? Speaker 2 (12:39) He gets the message from another source? Speaker 4 (12:41) Yes, from another believer. (12:43) But they refuse. Speaker 2 (12:45) Oh, I see. (12:47) When did the circumstances come up where we're supposed to give the message anyway? (12:52) When did the circumstances come up? (12:56) God will create the circumstances for us to deliver the message. (13:00) But we must strive. (13:02) We need to strive. (13:04) We need to do something. (13:09) You know, as it is, the majority of people believe in God alone, worship the Quran alone, worship God alone, and that's it. (13:18) They're believers, and they're good. (13:21) They're going to heaven. (13:22) But they are not the same as people who strive for just a flame. (13:29) Hey, look who's here. (13:31) The filmers are here. (13:34) Come on in, come on in. (13:38) Masha'Allah. (13:51) You left the ummiya home? (13:56) Another? (14:01) She's asleep here in Tucson? (14:02) Oh, okay. (14:04) I don't help her. (14:19) No. Speaker 5 (14:28) Written down? Speaker 2 (14:32) If in your mind you don't care if she keeps the money and you never get it back, then it's okay. (14:40) But if you want it to be repaid, God tells us to write it down so you don't forget how much you gave her, and she doesn't forget how much you borrowed. (14:49) But if you don't care, if she ever pays it, then it's okay. (14:56) You write it down if you expect it to be paid back. (15:00) Because I'm telling you, you'll forget. (15:03) You may give her $500, and then after a month, you'll be absolutely positive that you gave her $1000. (15:11) Sometimes Satan will see to it. (15:20) But the person who's giving the loan is in control. (15:26) But the person who's taking the loan is the one who dictates the terms. (15:30) Write down. (15:33) Write down the receipt. (15:37) I received $500 from Rakhshana, and I promised to pay it at $50 a month starting in February. (15:46) And finish the payment the next day. (15:49) God gives us the details of what to write. (15:55) Because it will be written in the hand of the borrower. (15:58) And then you have two witnesses. (16:00) This way, there'll be no confusion about it. (16:03) SubhanAllah. (16:04) When this was skinned down, there were no accountants. Speaker 4 (16:13) These 96 days, some of them criticized your distribution of charity. (16:21) But when they received the charity, they became very satisfied. (16:25) At least we have seen three different people who object to the taxes. (16:31) They try to get out as much as possible from the family's taxes. (16:37) So the taxes just go up and up. Speaker 2 (16:39) Yeah, this is true in all countries it seems. (16:42) Here also. (16:43) But this is a specific situation talking about the community of believers. (16:49) And we've seen it also within the community of believers. (16:58) We are living the Quran. (17:03) So what's your first question, Na'im? Speaker 6 (17:09) As much as you can. Speaker 2 (17:17) We're talking about believers who believe in God. (17:20) The Hereafter. (17:21) Follow the Quran alone. (17:22) Worship God alone. (17:23) But that's the extent of it. (17:25) They're good people. (17:26) They're going to heaven. (17:27) But they're not at the same rank as far as God is concerned. (17:30) Like the people who strive. Speaker 6 (17:33) Why would you be angry? (17:36) It's not true. (17:39) Yeah, right. Speaker 2 (17:40) You have to see your own circumstances and how it is working. (17:45) But God says, God raises the drivers. (18:02) I don't push a little. (18:04) This comes from the people themselves. (18:19) Yeah, you want to see too that the message is delivered in the best possible and the most effective manner. (18:26) This all depends on the circumstances. (18:29) Again, Invite to the task of God with wisdom and great diplomacy. (18:37) You want to do it so you don't chase them away? (18:41) Keep the door open. (18:42) If they are not going to believe now, you keep the door open for them. (18:48) So you're right. (18:53) Was it good? (18:55) Yes. (18:56) Alhamdulillah. Speaker 4 (19:08) He's always fighting. (19:18) Forget it. (19:24) Yeah. (19:33) He fights. Speaker 2 (19:34) Yeah. Speaker 4 (19:39) Nope. Speaker 2 (19:41) Forget it. (19:44) Yeah. (19:44) But there is a point where God asks us to give up. (19:49) And then, there's a question in Sura 13. (19:54) Is it not time for the believers to give up and the disbelievers to realize that God guides whomever He wills? (20:03) Usually they catch it like that, Rajul, don't they? (20:06) If somebody is going to believe this, they catch it. (20:09) They see it. (20:11) You can tell if they are blind and deaf or if there is this concrete wall around them, or if they are wide open to the message. (20:22) I don't know. (20:23) I think it's been rare to see somebody who is completely blocked and then all of a sudden you could see. (20:30) Well, Lisa and Susan, go to work. (20:33) You can go through this door. (20:36) I think Karibas finished cooking, so you can have some breakfast. (20:42) Do you want to go with them? (20:46) Susan wants to have breakfast with somebody. (20:51) Do you want to bring the cake now? Speaker 7 (20:55) I'm not. Speaker 2 (20:56) I know. (20:57) When? (20:58) Now? (20:59) Yeah? (20:59) It's fine. Speaker 7 (21:01) Okay. (21:02) Wait. Speaker 2 (21:02) Stay where you are. (21:04) Stay. (21:04) Just one minute. (21:06) Lisa and Susan have to go to work soon. (21:09) Just wait a minute. (21:14) Hurry up, hurry up. (21:19) Is that the same tape? Speaker 4 (21:21) Yeah, yeah. (21:21) Is it going over and over? (21:22) No, no. (21:23) I know. Speaker 1 (21:26) I look at the light and then I say, Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim. (21:54) As Rishabh said, we're starting with verse 75 in Surah The Honorable Quran. (22:13) An awesome oath, if you only knew. (22:27) Because we could talk about that all night, 1400 years ago. (22:39) How awesome an oath. (22:43) 1400 years ago, they could see the stars and us having the knowledge that we have. (23:02) I'd like to read just a little bit of talking about how big our galaxy and universe really is. (23:16) I don't want to go too far with it, but just to give us a little bit of a feel again of how awesome an oath is truly is. (23:24) Because it is a more awesome oath than we can really comprehend, even though intellectually we can try. (23:37) Our sun is only one of perhaps a million stars within our galaxy, the Milky Way. (23:43) The size of the Milky Way is awesome. (23:45) It would take us 100,000 years of the speed of light to cross it from one end to the other. (23:54) Bearing in mind that the sun's light travels 93,000,000 miles in four minutes, we can appreciate the vastness of the Milky Way. (24:09) It's 100,000 light years across. (24:13) From the outer limit of our galaxy, how significant is the planet Earth? (24:21) Our next door neighbor galaxy, the closest galaxy to our Milky Way, is 2,000,000 light years away. (24:32) These are all established scientific facts that a civilized and highly educated generation is fortunate to know. (24:39) If we go to the center of our neighbor galaxy, can we visualize the planet Earth of the Milky Way galaxy? (24:47) How significant is it that by moving away from our galaxy to the nearest galaxy close to us, we are already talking about incredible distances, millions of light years, yet our universe contains a great number of galaxies? (25:04) Back in the 1950s, Shane and Wharton drew the first map of the universe and its galaxies. (25:12) 1,000 galaxies were surveyed then. (25:15) And since then, scientists have discovered one billion galaxies, more than a million times what was known 30 years ago. (25:27) Can you imagine the vastness of our universe with its billion galaxies and billion trillion stars? (25:32) We are now talking about billions of light years within our universe alone. (25:40) Have you lost track of our planet Earth? (25:45) How significant is our planet Earth? (26:02) It is very important to keep this size and our significance, or perspective, in order to appreciate the significance or insignificance of teeny creatures who inhabited this planet for a brief period of time. (26:18) And then we have one of the psalms. (26:21) This is from Psalm 8. (26:24) When I behold your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and stars which you set in place, what is man that you should be mindful of him, or the son of man that you should care for him? (26:41) And yet we get up in the morning and we think, we're so important. (26:50) This is truly an awesome oath. (26:52) And God is swearing, I swear by the position of the stars. (26:57) And it is an awesome oath if you only knew. (27:01) This is an honorable Quran in a perfectly preserved book. (27:07) None can touch it except the righteous. (27:09) It is a revelation from the Lord of the Universe. (27:14) We have in our hand the only thing that we need. (27:20) God has blessed us with this incredible blessing. (27:23) This is our road map. (27:25) And we know that it is an honorable Quran. (27:33) And it has been perfectly preserved. (27:35) We in this mosque know that better than any people on earth. (27:40) We've been incredibly blessed. (27:43) The miracles continue to come. (27:51) Flooding us. (27:52) Absolutely flooding us. (27:55) Showing in no uncertain terms that this book is perfectly preserved. (28:02) And that not only is it perfectly preserved, but it is so incredibly coded that there is no way that any human being could have even approached to the slightest degree approached writing even once in a while. (28:18) It's beyond awesome, truly. (28:22) And we know now also that none can touch it except the righteous. (28:27) What does that mean? (28:28) I mean that doesn't mean physically touch it. (28:30) But it means that no one can get from this Quran unless they are righteous. (28:36) Unless they are truly seeking God. (28:38) And beyond that, and more importantly for us at this point, we know that no one could discover this miracle without being righteous. (28:47) There is no way. (28:48) This miracle is as awesome as anything we can imagine. (28:53) God has already sworn by the position of the stars that this is enough. (28:58) This Quran is honorable and it is perfectly preserved. (29:02) And that is, it's overwhelming. (29:06) It's absolutely overwhelming. (29:08) So we know, first of all, we know that this Quran has been preserved, but we also are given the strongest of proofs. (29:19) The discoverer of this Quran is indeed righteous. (29:24) Of course, we all hear it. (29:33) But we know very clearly that this miracle and the revelation itself had to have come from God. (29:46) There is no way we could have made it up or could have been tricked from God that anyone could have tricked God to discover the miracle any more than they could have tricked God to be the prophet. (30:08) Verse 81. (30:10) Are you then evading this message? (30:12) Do you make it your share that you reject it? (30:16) Your soul will reach your throat someday. (30:19) Then you will look around. (30:21) We are closer to it, your throat, than you are. (30:26) But you cannot see. (30:27) If you do have any power, you should reclaim your soul if you are truthful. (30:35) Look at how many people are fighting this miracle. (30:40) These verses to me are specifically directed to them as well as obviously to those who reject the Quran. (30:49) Are you evading this message? (30:52) God has already said that the Quran is perfectly preserved, that none can touch it except the righteous, and yet there are those who say that they are Muslim, who say that they have studied the Quran, and yet they reject the miracle Quran. (31:08) And they do it out of ego because they don't like what it leads to, which is worshiping God alone, and removing all of the tradition, all of the falsehood, all of the garbage, and coming back to the very simple truth. (31:22) It is very simple. (31:24) It's not easy until you make it easy, until you allow it to be easy. (31:31) It's very simple, and it's very straightforward and clear cut. (31:38) Those who are evading this message, and that's truly what it is, I mean, anyone who reads this, reads this Quran, have to evade it or follow it. (31:48) If you follow it, there's no way you can follow the Hadith and Sunnah, there's no way you can accept all of the other garbage if you are following the Quran. (31:56) So if you're reading it, and you're still following the Hadith and Sunnah, you are evading the Quran. (32:08) Do you make it your share that you reject it? (32:10) Well, it takes a lot of work, I think, on some level, not to accept the truth. (32:18) You have to work at rejecting the truth, and I think that when you tend to do that, or when you do that, then you become fanatic about it. (32:28) Personally, I think that's a lot of what we're seeing. (32:35) And it's very clear from the next verse that none of us control our lives, none of us can stop death when it comes. (32:45) God is closer to us than our jugular vein. (32:49) He stands between us and our hearts. (32:54) We know that God is in control of the minutest detail in the universe. (33:00) He controls every atom, every subatomic particle within our body, within the rest of the universe. (33:09) That power is so awesome and so incomprehensible to us that it's probably easier for most people to ignore it because it's too scary to realize that there is a power that is that great. (33:21) We're here to come because we did not remember that so beautifully expressed. (33:46) We're given a second chance. (33:54) Can I stop here? (33:56) Are there any questions or comments? (34:12) I'm sorry, I don't know when we are, because it doesn't mean that we should. Speaker 3 (34:15) Oh, let's just play the book. Speaker 1 (34:18) I'm sorry, thank you. (34:20) Excuse me. (34:23) The footnotes. (34:24) The Quran is by no means a regular book. (34:27) Only the sincere seekers of the truth will be allowed to understand it. (34:31) See 41-44. (34:33) The insincere will be prevented from acquiring any knowledge from the Quran. (34:38) In fact, those who are prevented by God from learning the Quran claim that this verse means that no one can physically touch the Quran unless he satisfies certain evolutionary requirements. (34:49) Obviously, this distortion is a clever satanic plot to prevent people from studying God's message to them. (34:55) Our salvation is in reading, studying, and heeding the Quran. Speaker 3 (35:02) It's not really touch. (35:04) The Arabic word does not mean touch. (35:07) We have to find another word that says that, which means that no one can derive anything else from the Quran unless they are sincere. (35:24) In Arabic, the word is elmas. (35:29) Elmas is the physical term. (35:37) Derive, understand, anything. (35:41) You teach that as God. (35:42) When you read this book, you're directly being taught. (35:52) That's why you read it over and over a thousand times, and you still find new things every time. (35:58) Unlike a novel, you read a novel, and that's it. (36:00) You throw it away, you don't want to read it again. (36:05) The Book of God gives you new information. (36:09) In verse 77, the Quran in Arabic is described as kareem. (36:14) In other places, it's called Quran azim, described as Quran majid, glorious. (36:23) To describe the Quran with the same names of God. (36:49) Hopefully, you're reading it every day, at least one verse every day. (37:01) Not contemplative except the righteous. (37:04) And we have an observation to prove that the Quran ranges from the very simple to the very complex. (37:25) Yet, nobody was allowed to make any disconnect with the Quran. (37:34) Believers, only believers, who believe like we do. (37:37) We believe in worshipping God and upholding the word of God alone. (37:43) Just look at the people who made discoveries. (37:45) I want to pass this around. (37:46) Let's do it very fast. (37:50) This is a summary of the miracle in one page. (37:55) In other texts of America, we see that the first verse is 19 letters. (38:01) The number of suras is 114, 19 times 6. (38:04) Is this simple enough? (38:07) The first verse is 19 letters. (38:09) The number of suras is a multiple of 19. (38:12) The first revelation was 19 words. (38:14) The last revelation, 19 words. (38:17) These are famous first revelations and famous last revelations. (38:21) And they are very simple. (38:23) They don't require a computer. (38:24) But not a single person outside the fold of believers was allowed to touch it. (38:33) It's a monopoly. (38:37) You look at the people who made the major discoveries. (38:40) Abdullah, Mahmoud, Ihsan, Lisa, many others. (38:45) Firuz, Ma'id. (38:52) They're all people who firmly believe like we do. (38:57) For a long time, I was surprised. (38:59) Why doesn't anybody else find these things? (39:01) Because I needed some support. (39:05) It's very simple. (39:10) From the missing bismillah to the erection of bismillah 19 suras. (39:13) Is this difficult? (39:15) I mean, the consistency and repetition of the number 19 is so simple. (39:21) Yet, nobody, a billion Muslims in the world, but none of them was allowed to find these very simple facts unless they have heard the Quran alone. (39:35) They believed in hadith and sunnah, and they mentioned other names in their prayers. (39:43) They are not verse 77. (39:50) By the way, in the Quran, you see a very complex miracle. (39:54) In the circle, this was no longer the biggest number in the world because this is already obsolete. (40:04) Abdullah, on his birthday yesterday, made it obsolete. (40:08) In this circle, the number begins with the first verse in the Quran. (40:12) So if you look on the left, there is an asterisk on the left side of the circle. (40:18) And you see, we start by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. (40:21) These are the verses of the first surah. (40:24) Seven verses. (40:26) Followed by the total number of verses in the surah, which is seven. (40:30) Then you move on to the next surah, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, all the way to 286, the number of verses in surah 2. (40:36) Then you put the total number of verses in surah 2, 286. (40:39) And you do this all the way to the end of the Quran. (40:42) When you get to the end of the Quran, if you look on the right side, you see this big arrow that says total number of verses in the Quran. (40:48) You put that. (40:49) Now you have a very long number. (40:51) I like it in the metric system. (40:53) It is one kilometer long. (40:56) And it consists of 12,696 digits. (41:00) And it is a multiple of 19. (41:03) If you go on, if you see now, if you look on the right side of the circle, in the middle of it, with the big arrow that says total number of verses in the Quran, after the asterisk comes the total number of verses in the first surah, which is seven. (41:18) And next to it the seven verses, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. (41:22) Then you put the total number of verses in surah number 2, and so on. (41:27) So what we are doing in the lower half is we are reversing the position of the total number of verses, instead of putting it at the end of every surah, we are putting it at the beginning of every surah. (41:37) And brothers and sisters, the number is divisible when we go to the end. (41:41) So now, this is a circle. (41:43) When you connect the two numbers, you have what was, until yesterday, the day before yesterday, the longest number in the world, 25,388 digits. (41:54) And that is a multiple of 19. (41:56) Now, what Abdullah did to make this number obsolete, he added the number of every surah. (42:03) Okay, let's go now to the asterisk on the left side of the circle. (42:08) It begins with the numbers of the verses of the first surah, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, followed by the total number of verses in this surah, which is seven. (42:17) Now, between the two sevens there, he put the number of the surah, one. (42:21) And he did this with every surah, and you guessed it, the number is still divisible. (42:29) And there is more. (42:31) He put the number of the surah at the beginning, or at the end, or in the middle. (42:36) It's still divisible. (42:39) So this would be, in the Ramadan issue, the Muslim perspective is going to get more and more detailed. (42:47) So now, I don't know how many digits there are from the first surah to the last surah. (43:09) 174, you add that. (43:26) This is a by the way miracle. (43:28) 1, 2, 3, 4. (43:30) What's going to the end of the Quran? (43:35) 474 digits, and it's a multiple of 19. (43:38) So you put that, you add this to this number, which is 25,696. (43:44) You add 474. (43:46) Now you have the biggest number in the world. (43:49) It is out of this, 2, 4, 25, 3, 8. (44:01) And that is divisible. (44:07) In the middle, meaning between the last verse and the total number of verses. (44:10) If you look on the left side of the circle, you see the asterisk. (44:15) And above it, you see the number of verses in surah al-Fatiha number 1. (44:18) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. (44:21) Followed by the total number of verses in the surah, which is another 7. (44:25) So if you put the one between the two 7s that you see there, that's the number of the surah. (44:30) And you do this in all the surahs, it's divisible. (44:32) If you move the number of the surah and put it at the beginning, so you have 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7. (44:38) That's divisible. (44:39) And if you put the total number of verses at the beginning, so you have 1, 7. (44:43) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. (44:44) You still have a divisible number. (44:47) So it sounds like almost a physical impossibility, but it locks. (44:54) It locks every verse. (44:56) Somebody called today and said, how do you know it's only the two verses in surah 9? (45:01) You notice that surah 9 is mentioned here. (45:04) If you look at the upper right corner of the circle, it says total number of verses in surah 9. (45:08) You have to use 127. (45:11) This fellow was coming from Louisville, Kentucky, and he said, how do you know it's only the two verses in surah 9 that violate the code? (45:19) So I told him, because every single verse, what we see here, every single verse in the Quran is authenticated as divine from God. (45:31) So it is fitting to mention why God swears by the position of the stars that this is a Quran Karim. (45:44) By the way, Al-Quran Al-Karim has a numerical value that's 684 out of 90. (45:50) The numerical value of this, the official name of Al-Quran Al-Karim. (45:57) Just to change the subject and make it a little bit light. (46:00) You know how they count the stars? (46:03) I'm sure some of you do. (46:04) But anyway, they go out in the night and take a picture of the sky. (46:07) They put it in a computer, and the computer will count the number of stars in that area in that picture. (46:16) And there's a formula that tells you what the circumference from the inside of the circle is. (46:22) And then you can tell from this picture how many are in the whole circumference of the whole sky. (46:31) And you do this a hundred times, and then you take the average of the hundred times, and you have almost exactly the number of stars. (46:38) A billion trillion of them. (46:42) And these are the ones that we see. (46:44) Because if our sun is in the next galaxy, we will not be able to see it. (46:50) Because it is one of the dim stars. (46:53) What we see are only the bright stars. (46:58) We have to be confident, I swear, by the positions of the stars. (47:04) Because they are in perfect positioning, perfect orbits. (47:08) They don't crash into one another. (47:18) There was something else also. (47:53) Yeah, we have two halves that are divisible by 19. (47:57) So what I'm doing here is just taking them into a circle. (48:00) Well, the upper half is a multiple of 19. (48:03) And you have the total number of verses at the end of each surah. (48:07) The lower half is a multiple of 19, and the connecting one has nothing to do with anything. (48:13) But in the lower half, you have the number of verses at the beginning of every surah. (48:18) If you look on the right side of the circle, look at the big arrow that says total number of verses in the Quran. (48:26) Below that, you see surah al-Fatiha with the total number of verses, which is 7, at the beginning, not at the end. (48:32) So you have 7, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. (48:35) And instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7. (48:40) Both of them are independently divisible by 19. (48:42) And I just put them next to each other. (48:49) And it's because the upper half was a discovery by Firoz Karmani in Canada. (48:55) And he ended up putting the total number of verses in the Quran at the end of the number. (49:02) The lower half is Abdullah's discovery, and the total number of verses comes ahead of the surah. (49:10) So the total number of verses in the Quran fits right there ahead of the whole Quran. (49:17) So I put it in a circle. (49:20) This circle is now obsolete. (49:21) Great, but obsolete. (49:23) We have better circles now. (49:30) Any other questions? (49:33) Okay, back to Lisa and verse number... Speaker 1 (49:41) Thereafter, if he is one close to me, then happiness, flowers, and gardens of bliss. (49:47) And if he belongs with those on the right, then peace to you from those on the right. (49:53) But if he is one of the rejecters, the strayers, then the abode of retribution and burning hell. (50:00) This is the inevitable truth. (50:03) You shall glorify the name of your Lord, the Great. (50:10) Verse 88 and 89, actually all of these verses refer back to the beginning verses of this Quran, of this surah, where it talks about the high heaven, the lower heaven, and hell. (50:24) And we see again in verse 88 how beautiful the highest heaven is. (50:29) We know, of course, that these are all allegorical descriptions, that God uses allegory because there is no way that we in our present states can even begin to understand really what is in store for us. (50:42) But we know from the allegory of the highest heaven that it is truly bliss, and that it is wonderful beyond our dreams. (50:53) God says that anything we wish for, anything those who are in the highest heaven, anything they wish for, and even more. (51:04) So God's grace is even greater than anything we can comprehend or desire. (51:14) And then those on the right, those in the lower heaven, for them also, it's incredibly beautiful. (51:23) And it's peace, peace to you from those on the right. (51:30) An incredible, incredible triumph to be among those on the right. (51:35) But if he is one of the rejecters, the strayers, then the retribution and burning hell. (51:46) We know, again, that we can't comprehend really the awfulness of hell. (51:54) We have a slight idea because we are as far from God as anything in the universe at this point. (52:02) And we know how hellish this world is and how awful it is, particularly when you step out of God's kingdom. (52:08) We're incredibly blessed to be in God's kingdom, inshallah. (52:13) But as soon as you step out, you know what an incredible hell that is. (52:18) And that is nothing compared to the ultimate hell. (52:22) This is the inevitable truth. (52:28) You shall glorify the name of your Lord. (52:34) Inshallah.
