YT210 Why was Satan in Paradise with Adam and Eve ? (Qur’an 2:36) (YouTube Video Transcript)

(00:00:00) Your YouTube transcript will appear here (00:00:09) Alhamdulillah. (00:00:16) I'm glad to be back with you. (00:00:18) Alhamdulillah. This is segment YT210. (00:00:21) I apologize. Last week, we were in the (00:00:23) middle of the broadcast and my local uh (00:00:27) internet provider decided to disconnect (00:00:30) um the network to do some repairs out of (00:00:34) the blue without notifying anyone. I'm (00:00:37) really sorry. I apologize and inshallah (00:00:39) we'll make it up this week. Uh, (00:00:42) alhamdulillah, this week we are going to (00:00:44) talk about um a topic that's we've (00:00:48) addressed a little bit in the past, but (00:00:50) we didn't really dive into it in full (00:00:52) detail. Actually, we addressed it a long (00:00:55) time ago in segment YT2 uh YT70, (00:00:59) YT70, YT70, (00:01:02) uh the definition of ala, which is an (00:01:05) introduction to the story of Adam, and (00:01:07) then YT71 and then YT72. And we've (00:01:11) talked about the concept of Adam and (00:01:13) Alba for dozens of segments on our (00:01:17) channel. Uh I highly recommend that you (00:01:19) start with segment YT70 Alba where you (00:01:23) get a background a little bit about the (00:01:25) context of um the the issue from ayah (00:01:30) 236 (00:01:33) ayah 236 which talks about uh shaitan (00:01:36) being in Jenna and this is the title of (00:01:39) today's segment what was shan Satan (00:01:43) doing in paradise in Jenna what was he (00:01:46) doing in Jenna is therean in Jenna. Is (00:01:48) that what our scholars taught us? Check (00:01:51) with all of your (00:01:53) respected scholars, the internet (00:01:55) superstars, and all of those who claim (00:01:58) to understand the Quran. What was (00:01:59) Shaitan doing in Jenna according to ayah (00:02:02) 236? And by the way, it's also repeated (00:02:05) in surah, surah 7, ayah 20, as we will (00:02:09) discuss these two paragraphs today. So, (00:02:11) alhamdulillah, today we're going to dive (00:02:13) into uh these two paragraphs and uh (00:02:19) provide a very rational, very (00:02:21) understandable, very simple (00:02:25) interpretation (00:02:26) of um uh of of these two paragraphs that (00:02:31) eliminate all doubts, eliminate all (00:02:33) concerns and eliminate all appearances (00:02:37) of contradictions in the Quran. Uh, of (00:02:40) course there are contradictions between (00:02:41) what the Quran says and what the (00:02:44) scholars taught us and what the (00:02:46) superstars teach and continue to teach. (00:02:49) Uh, without explaining why is Shaitan is (00:02:53) um is in Jenna. Uh, before we proceed (00:02:56) any further, if I may, please those of (00:02:59) you who are on the chat give me a thumbs (00:03:01) up uh indicating that we're uh good for (00:03:04) um, you know, for all the audio and the (00:03:06) video transmission and so on. That would (00:03:08) be great. (00:03:11) Uh, alhamdulillah. So, um, we get going (00:03:14) on, um, uh, on the interpretation of the (00:03:18) two paragraphs that I promise you. We'll (00:03:20) get started, uh, with few reminders, (00:03:23) starting point before we proceed too (00:03:25) far, just to make sure that people who (00:03:27) are with us uh, are given a chance to (00:03:30) catch up on uh, some of the concepts and (00:03:33) some of the conversations that we've (00:03:35) already presented. (00:03:37) Um it's really sad that most people who (00:03:40) watch this channel don't understand you (00:03:43) know they they come into this channel (00:03:44) expecting to pick up uh you know six (00:03:48) years worth of knowledge in one segment (00:03:49) and it's impossible. This channel from (00:03:52) the beginning has endeavored to bring (00:03:55) new ideas new understanding based on a (00:03:58) solid methodology that was presented or (00:04:01) captured or learned or acquired from the (00:04:05) Quran itself. So first you have to (00:04:07) understand the concept of what a (00:04:08) methodology is. Unfortunately, most of (00:04:10) the people who criticize this channel, (00:04:13) don't understand this word. What does a (00:04:15) methodology mean? Well, if you don't (00:04:17) know what the word methodology, don't (00:04:19) criticize the channel. Don't critique (00:04:22) something you don't understand it. It's (00:04:24) embarrassing because you're speaking as (00:04:27) so-called quotequote scholar and you (00:04:29) really have no relationship whatsoever (00:04:31) to scholarship. Uh most true scholars (00:04:36) when they talk about methodology (00:04:39) if they accept a methodology or at least (00:04:42) they recognize that a certain person is (00:04:44) using a methodology. Once you follow the (00:04:47) methodology, do you reach the (00:04:48) conclusions that are legitimate (00:04:50) according to that methodology? If the (00:04:53) answer is yes, you reach the conclusions (00:04:55) that are legitimate according to that (00:04:58) methodology, you have no business (00:05:00) criticizing the conclusions. Either the (00:05:03) conclusions follow the methodology or (00:05:05) they did not follow the methodology. If (00:05:08) you don't like the methodology, that's a (00:05:09) different story. Come up with your own (00:05:11) methodology. But if you see and (00:05:14) recognize that a certain person you're (00:05:17) criticizing is following a methodology, (00:05:19) the only opinion you may give is did (00:05:22) this conclusion that this person reached (00:05:25) follow from using the methodology. (00:05:28) That's a yes or no answer. That's it. (00:05:30) You don't you don't have room as a (00:05:32) scholar to criticize, oh, I don't like (00:05:34) the conclusion. Well, you don't like the (00:05:36) conclusion because you don't understand (00:05:38) the basics that once you follow the (00:05:41) methodology using evidence from the (00:05:44) Quran in accordance with the principles (00:05:46) and the terminology and all of these (00:05:47) things that are included in the (00:05:49) methodology. (00:05:51) There's no room for you to say I like it (00:05:53) or I don't like it. It's just a yes or (00:05:56) no. Did you follow the methodology? And (00:05:58) if you don't even know what the (00:06:01) methodology is and you claim to know (00:06:02) what the methodology is, that's even (00:06:04) worse. So unfortunately most of the (00:06:07) critics are so subpar to be honest with (00:06:10) you. It's embarrassing that they present (00:06:12) themselves as muty this or she this or (00:06:15) and they pretend to speak about Islam as (00:06:19) as if Allah has appointed them to be (00:06:21) gatekeepers of his dean. Allah protects (00:06:24) his dean, not you. you don't have you (00:06:26) don't have any business claiming that um (00:06:31) that you know what uh what the Quran is (00:06:36) exclusively. So when we present our (00:06:39) methodology, we've been following this (00:06:41) methodology for 6 years. I wish my (00:06:44) brothers and sisters would take the (00:06:45) time. I mean, there's this critic who (00:06:48) appointed himself and he's been (00:06:50) publishing videos against our channel (00:06:53) and he confesses he he confesses that he (00:06:56) watched 8 hours of our material out of (00:07:01) over 400 hours that are on the public (00:07:03) domain on YouTube and more than another (00:07:08) 400 hours on the private channel uh (00:07:12) where we offer advanced lessons for (00:07:14) advanced students. So that's about 800, (00:07:16) but let's say 400 in the public domain. (00:07:19) He watched 8 hours and he feels (00:07:20) qualified to criticize. I mean, that's (00:07:23) the level of scholarship that we're (00:07:25) talking about when we discuss or when we (00:07:28) consider uh people who criticized our (00:07:31) channel. Alhamdulillah, true scholars, (00:07:34) true scholars, they understand what (00:07:37) we're doing. And that's why you don't (00:07:38) find true scholars criticizing or (00:07:41) critiquing or even engaging in a (00:07:44) dialogue against us. Alhamdulillah. So (00:07:47) we leave it up to Allah to be the judge. (00:07:49) Um they call us whatever they want to (00:07:52) call us, you know, they call us kafir, (00:07:54) they call us inventing a new religion. (00:07:56) It's between them and Allah. They will (00:07:58) have to defend those accusations in (00:08:01) front of Allah inshallah. All right. So (00:08:04) what we say is (00:08:06) we have several um uh several segments (00:08:10) that are relevant to what we're (00:08:11) discussing today. This is segment YT210 (00:08:15) and we have dozens of segments where we (00:08:17) talked about similar issues. I'm going (00:08:18) to capture in this uh partial you know (00:08:23) uh five points uh a few a few items that (00:08:28) are relevant to understand uh that are (00:08:30) relevant to understand (00:08:32) what we're going to discuss for the rest (00:08:34) of this presentation. Number one when we (00:08:37) study the story of Adam as we will deal (00:08:39) with the concept of Adam because (00:08:41) remember that the title is what was (00:08:43) Shayan doing in paradise? What was (00:08:46) Shayan doing in Jenna? (00:08:48) and and in in paragraph uh you know from (00:08:52) surah al bakar that starts in in in (00:08:54) paragraph 2 uh ayah 30 (00:08:59) tells us clearly that shaitan caused (00:09:01) them Adam and his zo to slip out of (00:09:06) Jenna. What is that all about? Are we at (00:09:09) risk of losing our position in Jenna (00:09:12) after we get there? Is that is that how (00:09:15) how uh temporary the final paradise is? (00:09:21) Uh do we have do we have uh threats and (00:09:25) risks? Are we at at risk of being (00:09:29) confronted by shaitan and losing to (00:09:31) shaitan while in Jenna in paradise? I (00:09:35) mean those are the big questions. The (00:09:36) the these are not just simple (00:09:39) intellectual curiosity type questions. (00:09:42) their major theological questions. They (00:09:46) go to the heart of whether or not what (00:09:49) the scholars taught us in their (00:09:51) traditional books and what the (00:09:54) superstars parrot (00:09:57) are these people really telling us based (00:10:00) on true knowledge or are they just (00:10:02) making it up fluff. (00:10:05) So the story of Adam that starts in uh (00:10:09) ayah 230 surah al bakar 30 (00:10:14) uh we are told in ayah 36 that shaitan (00:10:18) caused Adam and his counterpart his zoo (00:10:23) to slip out of Jenna and Allah punished (00:10:26) them by bringing them out of of of Jenna (00:10:30) out of Jenna (00:10:32) and etc etc. we're going to see the (00:10:33) details. Does that make sense? Is this (00:10:36) how we should approach the Quran? Or or (00:10:40) are we missing something major that (00:10:44) caused this seemingly contradiction in (00:10:47) theology to appear? Why do I say (00:10:50) seemingly contradicting part of (00:10:53) theology? Because that's what the (00:10:54) scholars presented. It's not necessarily (00:10:56) what the Quran is talking about. And (00:10:58) that's what we're going to discuss today (00:11:00) inshallah. All right. So [clears throat] (00:11:04) when we discuss and study the story of (00:11:06) Adam from a new perspective using (00:11:08) terminology based on the Quranic (00:11:10) analysis of the terminology, we are (00:11:13) under no obligation whatsoever to ensure (00:11:16) that our analysis, our understanding of (00:11:20) the stories of the Quran conform to what (00:11:23) the Torah, the corrupted Torah claimed (00:11:26) about Adam. So, the corrupted Torah, as (00:11:31) we know, as we historically have (00:11:33) evidence for, and as the Quran confirms (00:11:36) again and again, was written by the (00:11:38) hands of some of the followers after (00:11:40) it's been lost, lost, totally lost for (00:11:43) hundreds of years. Anyone who studies (00:11:46) the history of Torah knows this. And yet (00:11:50) some of our (00:11:52) critics insist that the Torah is valid (00:11:56) as a source of knowledge (00:11:59) uh for understanding of the Quran. (00:12:01) [clears throat] The Quran teaches us (00:12:03) against that. Muhammad sallallahu alaihi (00:12:04) wasallam was very upset with Omar when (00:12:07) he tried to acquire some knowledge from (00:12:09) the Jews. Muhammad sallallahu alaihi (00:12:11) wasallam was very upset with Omar Omar (00:12:13) Omar the second caiff. (00:12:17) And yet we have scholars still defending (00:12:19) the concept that we can go to the Torah (00:12:21) and the followers of the Torah to learn (00:12:23) from them. (00:12:25) I I don't know what world they're and (00:12:27) they accuse us of inventing a new (00:12:29) religion. It it's really it's really (00:12:31) asinine. It's really childish. It's (00:12:33) really sorry but stupid. (00:12:37) So alhamdulillah the Quran is very (00:12:39) clear. It teaches us that they wrote the (00:12:42) book with their own hand and then they (00:12:43) claimed it's from Allah. (00:12:50) Quran is very clear. Muhammad sallallahu (00:12:52) alaihi wasallam in in a clear narration (00:12:54) in reliable sources was very upset with (00:12:59) when he brought some manuscripts (00:13:02) captured from the Jews and he started (00:13:05) studying them and he thought he was (00:13:07) doing something good and Muhammad (00:13:08) sallallahu alaihi wasallam was very (00:13:10) upset (00:13:11) and he accused Muhammad of doubting. (00:13:15) Sorry. Muhammad accused Omar of doubting (00:13:17) what Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam (00:13:19) brought. He says (00:13:23) and he called him what is considered to (00:13:26) Arabs a a an ugly name son of Alab. He (00:13:31) didn't call him Omar which he normally (00:13:34) would refer to Omar. (00:13:38) So those who accuse us of bringing a new (00:13:41) religion really are the ones who are (00:13:43) defending a fake (00:13:47) ill-based (00:13:49) knowledge and claiming that is Islam. (00:13:53) Number two, the Quran stands independent (00:13:55) of any other human products. Why? We've (00:13:58) said this before and we repeat it again. (00:14:00) The Quran is unique. There's nothing (00:14:02) like it and therefore it cannot be (00:14:04) interpreted using the methodology for (00:14:07) interpreting the the the the (00:14:10) poetry for example cannot be interpreted (00:14:13) based on what the Jews or the Christians (00:14:17) claim to be their knowledge. We have to (00:14:20) start with an with the integrity of (00:14:24) ascribing to Allah his due reverence in (00:14:26) the Quran exclusively. The corrupted (00:14:28) Torah that is available to people today (00:14:30) and even was available during the time (00:14:32) of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam (00:14:34) is a human product. The Quran is divine (00:14:38) is divine in nature is divine sourced. (00:14:41) So we have to be really careful what we (00:14:45) use as the epistemology the foundation (00:14:48) of knowledge that we uh build on when we (00:14:51) try to understand the Quran. Number (00:14:54) three, the story of Adam in the Quran is (00:14:56) just a story. Yeah, it's foundational (00:14:58) and you'll see it's talking about the (00:15:00) role of the Quran itself, but at the end (00:15:04) of the day, it's not what do I mean? (00:15:06) That means if you if you truly believe (00:15:09) in the in the unity of Allah subhana wa (00:15:11) ta'ala and the exclusivity of Allah as (00:15:14) the creator and the source of (00:15:16) everything, you're fine. You're safe. (00:15:18) And Allah told us in the Quran in many (00:15:20) different ayat. (00:15:24) So so we're not talking about something (00:15:27) that makes or breaks your belief. It is (00:15:31) a supporting story. It's sort of a a a (00:15:34) story that encourages us to understand (00:15:37) the context of what Allahh is expecting (00:15:40) of us. So when we say Adam was not the (00:15:43) first human being uh that Allah created (00:15:47) as many other scholars have done that (00:15:50) there's no reason to call us kafir or (00:15:52) dal or ell or deviant those who are (00:15:56) doing this are just exposing their own (00:15:58) ignorance in their own uh (00:16:00) close-mindedness. (00:16:02) In fact, there are so many Islamic (00:16:04) scholars during our whole 1400year (00:16:07) tradition who question the biblical (00:16:10) version of the story of Adam. So what (00:16:13) their those critics are defending and (00:16:16) what all the books of taps are defending (00:16:19) are the biblical story of Adam not the (00:16:21) Quranic story of Adam. The Quranic story (00:16:24) of Adam has been in question for (00:16:26) hundreds of years by famous very big (00:16:30) name scholars such as Alam Jaffar (00:16:34) accepted by both Sunni and Shia. (00:16:37) He questioned whether or not Adam that (00:16:39) the Quran talks about (00:16:42) is really the first human being ever (00:16:43) created. In fact, there is a narration (00:16:47) some people claim it's not as reliable (00:16:49) as you know other narrations. uh that (00:16:52) narration says before Adam there were a (00:16:54) thousand Adams and another version a (00:16:56) thousand thousand Adams meaning a (00:16:58) million Adams. So if you accept this (00:17:01) type of narration even narrations tell (00:17:04) us that Muhammad sallallahu alaihi (00:17:05) wasallam told us Adam of the Quran is (00:17:08) not the very first human being because (00:17:10) before him there were a thousand Adams. (00:17:12) So if you don't accept that narration (00:17:15) then go back to the Quran and you'll see (00:17:17) we're going to talk more in detail the (00:17:19) concept of Adam the stories multiple (00:17:23) stories there are about half a dozen (00:17:24) different stories related to Adam in the (00:17:27) Quran and anyone who studies these (00:17:30) stories very diligently very much paying (00:17:33) attention to detail with real scientific (00:17:37) observational (00:17:38) skills will easily recognize there are (00:17:42) quote unquote conflicting details. In (00:17:44) one story, he did this. In another (00:17:46) story, there was something else that (00:17:48) happened. (00:17:50) As if the narrator of the Quran could (00:17:53) not keep the story straight. Of course (00:17:55) not. That's not the story. It's not the (00:17:57) reality. The reality is the word Adam in (00:18:01) the Quran does not refer to what the (00:18:04) Bible the handwritten manual you know (00:18:07) concocted Bible claim which is Adam (00:18:10) being the very first human being on (00:18:12) earth. The Quran does not make that (00:18:15) claim. Nowhere does it make that claim. (00:18:18) Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam (00:18:19) never made that claim. Muhammad never (00:18:21) explicitly claimed that um uh you know (00:18:26) either in the rel reliable hadith or (00:18:28) even tangential that Adam was the very (00:18:31) first man ever created by Allah. (00:18:33) Muhammad never made that claim. Where (00:18:36) did that claim come from? It came into (00:18:38) the books of taps. The books of tapier (00:18:41) were brought to us hundreds of years (00:18:44) after Muhammad sallallahu alaihi (00:18:45) wasallam by human beings. opinions (00:18:49) opinions based on what? Well, partly on (00:18:51) their context the context in Damascus (00:18:54) for example after where which was the (00:18:56) capital the capital of the since the (00:18:59) year approximately 40 Hij ever since uh (00:19:03) after afterbal (00:19:06) was assassinated the fourth gaiff the (00:19:08) kilafa transferred to Damascus from (00:19:10) Medina and Damascus remained majority (00:19:14) Christian for 300 years. What does that (00:19:17) mean? That means the head of the Islamic (00:19:20) State was located in a city, Damascus, (00:19:24) that was majority Christian. Now imagine (00:19:27) where do the scholars get, you know, by (00:19:30) osmosis most of their knowledge? Well, (00:19:32) from their neighbors, from their other, (00:19:34) you know, knowledgeable people in the (00:19:37) city in the environment where they were (00:19:39) Christians and partly Jews. What do they (00:19:42) believe? They believe that Adam was the (00:19:44) first human being. So that transferred (00:19:46) that sort of erroneous knowledge (00:19:48) transferred into our books of taps as (00:19:51) did hundreds of other erroneous (00:19:54) concepts. (00:19:56) So over the 60 70 years that the Umayad (00:20:01) stayed and ruled the capital of Islam (00:20:05) from Damascus, hundreds of concepts (00:20:09) leaked into the Muslims understanding of (00:20:12) Islam. They created a different religion (00:20:15) than what Muhammad and the early (00:20:17) companions understood. I hope you (00:20:20) understand. Those who didn't study the (00:20:22) history don't know this and they accuse (00:20:24) us of creating something new. No, we're (00:20:27) bringing back the original that does not (00:20:30) contradict with the Quran. (00:20:34) So when we question when we question the (00:20:38) story of Adam and this is all (00:20:40) introduction we haven't even started in (00:20:42) the topic yet when we question the story (00:20:44) of Adam as we did in segment YT70 YT71 (00:20:49) YT72 (00:20:50) we are on solid ground scholarly solid (00:20:54) solid ground and we are in good company (00:20:56) such as the company of Imam Jaffar Sodic (00:20:59) Imm Razi Imm Arabi Abdul (00:21:05) Shaheen, etc., etc. If you don't know (00:21:08) this, I feel sorry for you, but don't go (00:21:11) about blabbering your mouth, attacking (00:21:13) our our work, uh, and exposing how (00:21:17) ignorant you are. All right. Um, few (00:21:22) reminders. The word Adam, and usually we (00:21:24) spell it with a small a because it's a (00:21:27) variable. And we said Adam in the Quran (00:21:30) is very much like um someone who studies (00:21:34) math. You pick up a book of mathematics, (00:21:37) let's say middle school algebra, (00:21:40) and you have the variable x. And the (00:21:43) variable x in chapter one refers to um (00:21:48) refers to a variable. Every everyone who (00:21:50) studied mathematics knows what a (00:21:52) variable is. Okay. A variable um (00:21:57) uh a variable is is is a symbolic (00:22:01) representative of something. Adam is a (00:22:03) symbolic representative of someone. So (00:22:06) what is that someone? That someone is (00:22:09) what we refer to as a selected familiar (00:22:14) proxy. What does that mean? Allah (00:22:16) selects certain individuals who deliver (00:22:18) certain messages. a as a proxy as a (00:22:21) proxy to deliver a certain message (00:22:23) horizontal communicate communication (00:22:26) with other peers other human beings (00:22:28) during the time of that person that's an (00:22:31) atom it's a variable so back to the (00:22:34) example of the mathematics book (00:22:36) x in chapter 1 is a variable that (00:22:39) represents certain membership in some (00:22:41) set mathematical set you go to chapter 4 (00:22:46) x may also be used but it does not mean (00:22:49) the same thing as Acts in chapter one. (00:22:51) It's a different set, different (00:22:53) membership set. So this is what Adam is. (00:22:57) Well, if it's a human concept and humans (00:23:00) can understand this at the level of a (00:23:01) middle school mathematics book, don't (00:23:04) you think it should be legitimate for us (00:23:06) to make that claim about the Quran? Of (00:23:08) course it is. Of course, it's (00:23:10) legitimate. You think Allah is less than (00:23:13) a middle school math student? (00:23:17) Of course not. So is it possible that (00:23:20) the Quran is using the same technique? (00:23:22) Yeah. As a matter of fact, the Quran (00:23:24) uses the same technique in many other (00:23:26) words and linguistically linguistically (00:23:29) in Arabic in any language. You have many (00:23:32) terms that are referred to as indexical. (00:23:35) What is an indexical? It's pointing to (00:23:37) something. And that indexical may mean (00:23:40) something in one case may mean something (00:23:42) totally different in another case such (00:23:45) as the word (00:23:48) this thing. What thing? Whatever you're (00:23:52) pointing to or this man which man well (00:23:56) the one you pointing to in that context (00:24:00) in a different context. Rajul that man (00:24:03) or this man. Maybe somebody totally (00:24:05) different. That's fine. That's an (00:24:07) indexical. So people who don't have this (00:24:12) mental ability to to to sort of be aware (00:24:15) of these things accuse us of making (00:24:17) things up. But it's really just belying (00:24:20) or betraying betraying their own (00:24:22) ignorance, their own lack of knowledge. (00:24:24) And it's embarrassing that they're (00:24:25) speaking in the name of Islam. It really (00:24:27) is. (00:24:30) The second term is baud. (00:24:33) And linguistically, anyone who knows (00:24:35) Arabic knows that this form (00:24:39) is a plural form. Yes, in Arabic, some (00:24:42) of the Arabs refer to as the mosquito, (00:24:46) but it does not mean the Quran is (00:24:47) adopting that same meaning. We go back (00:24:50) to the original form (00:24:54) is a plural for an active participle. (00:24:57) What that means is a group of people in (00:25:00) the case of the Quran in the case of uh (00:25:02) the the the paragraph that we're going (00:25:04) to talk about refers to a group of bani (00:25:07) is a group among many Israel who are uh (00:25:12) who are uh (00:25:16) uh who take very frequently to create (00:25:19) divisions in societies to create enmity (00:25:23) to uh uh put in poisonous ideas in (00:25:27) societies to create all sorts of (00:25:30) problems and dis discord uh among (00:25:33) society (00:25:35) from or which is to create segmentation (00:25:38) or fragmentation. (00:25:40) So, it's a well understood uh root and (00:25:44) it's used in the Quran exactly as I (00:25:46) described. And when it comes to the (00:25:48) active participle plural form, (00:25:53) which is equivalent to for the root, (00:25:58) they decided to ignore all of this (00:26:00) linguistic basis for the analysis of the (00:26:04) word and assign some random meaning (00:26:07) mosquito. Look at all of the books of (00:26:10) translation. Look at all the books of (00:26:12) taps. You find that they stopped (00:26:15) thinking in terms of pure linguistics of (00:26:19) Arabic when it came to that word and (00:26:21) they chose a different meaning. (00:26:24) Mosquito, where did you get this from? (00:26:28) Go back to the linguistics and you find (00:26:30) it's a very easy interpretation, very (00:26:32) easy justification for what we're (00:26:34) saying. So baud is a group of anemical (00:26:37) enemical group of people from B is the (00:26:41) Quran is warning us about and it (00:26:44) describes them in another term (00:26:47) the argumentative group they create (00:26:49) arguments they they they bring discord (00:26:52) that's what I'm saying so the Quran is (00:26:55) talking about that yeah read the first (00:26:57) few pages of surah al bakar it's talking (00:27:00) about many is specifically a group among (00:27:02) them who are bringing all of these (00:27:05) argumentation against what Muhammad (00:27:07) sallallahu alaihi wasallam was bringing (00:27:08) and the Quran is warning us don't go (00:27:11) near that shajara that group of (00:27:13) argumentative people what did our (00:27:15) scholars over the last 1400 years do (00:27:19) they went to their books their sources (00:27:21) and brought all of their claims (00:27:23) erroneous claims and they put it in the (00:27:26) books of taps claiming that this is what (00:27:29) the Quran is talking about the exact (00:27:31) opposite 180°ree opposite of what the (00:27:34) Quran was instructing us to do. (00:27:38) Don't shoot the messenger. I'm telling (00:27:40) you the evidence is there. Review the (00:27:43) channel videos and you'll see the (00:27:45) evidence. It's very clear. Starting at (00:27:47) uh segment YT70. (00:27:51) The word z is another term that we will (00:27:54) refer to in the Quran. [clears throat] (00:27:57) If you study all of the ayat that use (00:27:59) this root z or zoo, it refers to simply (00:28:03) a counterpart. So you have a pair of (00:28:06) things. You have a pair of things. (00:28:07) Whatever the definition of that pair is (00:28:10) could be two people. It could be, you (00:28:13) know, a male and female. It could be a (00:28:17) flower that's male versus a flower (00:28:20) that's female, which is an example used (00:28:21) in the Quran. It could be many different (00:28:24) type of pairing any kind of pairing. If (00:28:27) you if you consider one that's the (00:28:30) original member of that pair the other (00:28:34) one is the counterpart. It's defer (00:28:36) defined as zou. (00:28:38) So it's a counterpart another another (00:28:41) one that is a pair or part of a pair. (00:28:46) The word zo sometimes is referred to the (00:28:48) refers to the pair itself. (00:28:51) That's basic Arabic. I'm not I'm not (00:28:53) going to defend why we choose these (00:28:56) meanings because they are basic Arabic. (00:28:59) If you want to restrict the basic Arabic (00:29:01) to understand the word Z as his wife and (00:29:05) give that wife a name of (00:29:08) or Eid as those who wrote the books of (00:29:11) Taps did. Well, that's their problem. (00:29:15) And if you follow them, that's your (00:29:16) problem. But the original meaning of the (00:29:19) word zo is either a pair or the other (00:29:22) the other member of a pair. (00:29:27) I don't have to defend this. This is (00:29:29) basic Arabic. We're not creating a new (00:29:31) religion when we say this. We're just (00:29:34) going back to the original understanding (00:29:36) of the terminology. And this is what the (00:29:38) Quran encourages us to to do. So those (00:29:41) of you who question what I'm saying, (00:29:42) please go back to segment YT93. YT93 (00:29:47) where we discuss all of these details um (00:29:50) and and explain why the Arabs refuse to (00:29:53) follow these basic instructions and they (00:29:56) claim their spoken Arabic. The people of (00:29:59) Quraysh claim that their spoken Arabic (00:30:02) is the basis for understanding the (00:30:04) Quran. No, it's not. Sorry. And the (00:30:07) Quran scandalizes (00:30:10) the people of Quraysh and scandalizes (00:30:12) what's called (00:30:14) those who claim to know Arabic. (00:30:17) All right, we dive into uh surah al (00:30:21) Bakar the segment or the paragraphs that (00:30:23) I wanted to talk about. Uh before we do (00:30:25) this, let me check that uh everything is (00:30:27) on the on the chat is going well. (00:30:30) Alhamdulillah, please give me some (00:30:32) thumbs up. And by the way, if you have (00:30:34) some questions, don't hesitate. (00:30:37) um put um put uh your questions between (00:30:42) uh four question marks. So question mark (00:30:44) four times at the beginning, question (00:30:46) mark four times at the end so I can (00:30:48) easily find them as I scroll through uh (00:30:52) through the questions on the chat and (00:30:54) inshallah if we have uh enough time (00:30:57) we'll take a few questions before the (00:30:58) end. Excellent. Alhamdulillah. All (00:31:00) right. Uh let's focus on on uh the (00:31:04) paragraph from surah al bakar starting (00:31:06) ayah 23. So I'm going to go very fast (00:31:09) because we've covered a lot of these (00:31:11) ayat um in in prior segments starting (00:31:15) like I said in yt70. (00:31:17) And by the way, if you're interested in (00:31:19) the notes, the notes file, which is, you (00:31:22) know, 13 pages uh approximately 13 pages (00:31:26) of of translated uh two big paragraphs (00:31:29) from surah albakar and surah al surah 7.

(00:32:53) So this paragraph starts from ayah 23. (00:33:06) There's a lot of terminology in here. (00:33:08) Again, we've talked about them uh a lot (00:33:12) in so many different segments before. I (00:33:15) hope that you uh that you (00:33:17) [clears throat] are familiar with the (00:33:18) sermonology, but if you're not, please (00:33:20) don't criticize without knowledge. ask (00:33:22) us or ask anyone on the on the community (00:33:26) forum on the website uh to guide you to (00:33:29) which segments may uh have addressed (00:33:32) some of these topics and they will help (00:33:33) you. Alhamdulillah we have hundreds of (00:33:35) people in the community who are very (00:33:37) qualified to help and to uh point you to (00:33:42) which segments may refer to this topic (00:33:44) or that topic. Let me read the (00:33:46) translations and we'll go faster. If you (00:33:48) were in doubt about what justified (00:33:51) understanding we have made available (00:33:53) upon our wafer abdina abdina it does not (00:33:56) mean necessarily one specific person (00:33:59) that's another variable (00:34:02) our a wafer which wayfitter are you (00:34:06) talking about well it depends on the (00:34:07) context it's an indexical (00:34:10) it's a variable it's like Adam it's a (00:34:13) variable it's not a proper noun (00:34:16) so who is Abdina Well, it's up to you to (00:34:19) understand which context this is (00:34:21) referring to. Of course, in Albak, it's (00:34:24) Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam and (00:34:27) provide the justified understanding. (00:34:30) Well, is it Abdina Muhammad uh who who (00:34:33) brought the Quran? No, that's so who is (00:34:37) Abdina? Abdina is someone who receives (00:34:40) the understanding with the (00:34:42) justification. In other segments we (00:34:44) talked about uh someone u referred to as (00:34:48) the future rasool. Future rasool small r (00:34:51) in the sense that he will bring new (00:34:54) understanding new knowledge. And the (00:34:56) Quran talked about this. Muhammad (00:34:57) sallallahu alaihi wasallam talked about (00:34:58) this using different names and so on. (00:35:00) We've talked about this extensively on (00:35:03) the advanced sessions uh on MQ live uh (00:35:07) which is on zoom like I said for those (00:35:09) who are subscribed uh to the website. (00:35:12) All right. So if you are in doubt about (00:35:15) what we provide in terms of the (00:35:17) justified understanding meaning (00:35:19) understanding with evidence with (00:35:21) evidence-based knowledge then u bring (00:35:24) forth a surah from the likes of him if (00:35:28) you have someone better bring forth a (00:35:31) surah the understanding of such surah (00:35:34) and then call upon your witnesses whom (00:35:36) you took as intermediaries to Allah (00:35:39) that's what the meaning of this word (00:35:41) means (00:35:43) And we've been talking about this for (00:35:44) over six years. So if you don't (00:35:46) understand does not mean other than (00:35:49) Allah. It means intermediary to Allah. (00:35:51) So if you have if you have concersh (00:35:56) imi (00:35:58) uh mai you know anyone you consider your (00:36:02) intermediary to Allah meaning connecting (00:36:05) you or through him or through her you (00:36:08) connect to Allah then you're committing (00:36:10) this form of shik mun (00:36:14) and the challenge in this ayah is bring (00:36:16) your witnesses let's see if they can (00:36:18) bring the correct understanding (00:36:20) And the next ayah gives us the clear (00:36:23) reputation. (00:36:25) If you did not do that, if you don't do (00:36:27) so and you will never succeed in doing (00:36:30) so, then be disciplined in avoiding. (00:36:36) Be disciplined in avoiding. What's the (00:36:38) concept of again? (00:36:41) We've discussed this for a long time, (00:36:44) five years now on this channel. The word (00:36:46) anar and that's defined in ayah 17 of (00:36:50) surah al bakar that's for it the base of (00:36:53) understanding this concept the word anar (00:36:57) does not mean the hellfire that the (00:37:00) Christian model of the afterlife (00:37:02) promises us the word anar in the Quran (00:37:06) is referring to something man-made what (00:37:09) is that well in the middle of a dark (00:37:11) night if you're sitting in the middle of (00:37:12) a desert and you want to see your way or (00:37:15) you want to warm up or you want to, you (00:37:17) know, see that no [clears throat] one is (00:37:20) coming to attack you, you build a small (00:37:22) campfire, some sort of a fire. You build (00:37:25) a fire, man-made, and it gives you a (00:37:27) little bit of illumination, dimly lit (00:37:31) illumination in the middle of the vast (00:37:33) darkness of that dark night. That's the (00:37:35) concept of Anar. So, how do we present (00:37:39) this from an an Abrahamic lution point (00:37:42) of view? That's the concept of someone (00:37:46) making up a little bit of illumination (00:37:48) in the middle of the darkness instead of (00:37:51) seeking divine guidance, divine (00:37:54) illumination that brightens up the whole (00:37:58) uh night sky. That's usually referred to (00:38:01) as sun. So when Allah subhana t sent us (00:38:04) a scripture and he sends us uh a (00:38:07) messenger with a scripture that's (00:38:11) the concept of hashem's an illumination (00:38:16) the source of radiance those are the big (00:38:19) concepts that we have to understand (00:38:20) about the terminology of the Quran so (00:38:22) when the Quran is talking about (00:38:25) Allah subhana t is warning them your (00:38:28) man-made your man-made illumination (00:38:32) is not enough is not enough to make (00:38:35) claims about what Allah subhana wa (00:38:38) ta'ala sent. So what about this nar the (00:38:41) fuel for such nar are people and those (00:38:45) who shall be in the quarantine in the (00:38:47) afterlife. Again we've talked about the (00:38:49) concept of quarantine which is (00:38:53) and we've talked about this in several (00:38:54) segments. (00:38:56) This is not the place to give you uh a (00:38:59) full recap of the meaning, but I I would (00:39:01) encourage you again if you subscribe to (00:39:03) our website www.marvelscquran.org, (00:39:07) you can simply ask questions and our (00:39:10) wonderful uh community members will (00:39:13) guide you to refer to this segment or (00:39:16) that segment when you need to understand (00:39:17) a certain terminology. (00:39:19) Anyway, uh this anar is prepared for (00:39:23) those who are rejectors. (00:39:26) What does that mean? Those who reject (00:39:28) direct guidance from Allah. Because the (00:39:30) prior ayah, prior ayah is talking about (00:39:33) a challenge to connect to your witnesses (00:39:36) who are intermediaries to Allah. So if (00:39:38) you want to go through the (00:39:39) intermediaries, you're not going to (00:39:40) connect directly to Allah. (00:39:43) That's the challenge of the Quran. (00:39:45) That's the threat of those who reject (00:39:48) the Quran. The Quran is bringing direct (00:39:50) guidance. You don't want direct (00:39:51) guidance. You're going to be bound. (00:39:53) you're going to be condemned to go (00:39:55) through human beings who only give you (00:39:58) access to nar nar this man-made (00:40:03) uh humanly divinely uh sorry dimly lit (00:40:07) illumination meaning not the correct (00:40:10) divine guidance. (00:40:12) So the next ayah and give the glad (00:40:14) tidings to those who believed (00:40:17) please pay attention all translations (00:40:20) all translations of these words (00:40:23) unfortunately are wrong it's like they (00:40:25) can't even read Arabic is past tense (00:40:28) past tense so according to the Quran (00:40:31) there's a group of people called those (00:40:34) who believed in the past before the (00:40:36) Quran (00:40:38) versus (00:40:40) those who are persistently believing (00:40:43) with the time of the Quran or during the (00:40:46) time of the Quran and going forward (00:40:49) two different groups. (00:40:52) Unfortunately, the books of Tapsier (00:40:54) confuse the two perhaps [clears throat] (00:40:56) on purpose to mix in the Christians and (00:40:59) Jews into the followers of the Quran. (00:41:03) and all books of translation (00:41:05) unfortunately followed the same (00:41:08) footsteps of the books of defier (00:41:13) don't blame me for this I'm just I (00:41:15) highlighting that this is a major (00:41:17) mistake in their translation and a (00:41:20) priori in their understanding (00:41:23) are we to blame for this no we're just (00:41:26) highlighting this fact read it (00:41:29) past tense it's not (00:41:34) is used differently. So for example when (00:41:36) Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam is (00:41:37) described in surah um in surah surah 8 (00:41:49) it's talking about the battle of a scene (00:41:52) when Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam (00:41:53) was arranging the believers in (00:41:56) preparation for the battle the Quran (00:41:58) refers to the believers around Muhammad (00:42:00) as al- (00:42:06) Do you think it makes a difference? (00:42:07) Absolutely. (00:42:09) If the books of Tapsier and the (00:42:11) translations did not pay attention to (00:42:12) this, that's their problem, their fault. (00:42:15) Don't fall into their faults, into their (00:42:18) traps. (00:42:20) This is what this channel is all about. (00:42:22) Paying attention to the details so we (00:42:24) can learn with our eyes wide open. (00:42:28) So the glad tidings are for those who um (00:42:33) believed. Yeah. Glad tidings if you (00:42:35) follow the Quran. What what else you (00:42:37) have to do? You have to toil on the (00:42:39) Quran in accordance with the divine (00:42:41) lexicon (00:42:44) that to them belong concealed abodess of (00:42:48) understanding. Jat concealed abodess of (00:42:50) of understanding. So the term Jenna (00:42:53) right away now we're introduced to this (00:42:55) concept that those from prior (00:42:58) communities of faith am in the past and (00:43:01) come forth and start studying the Quran (00:43:03) and toil according to the terminology (00:43:06) salhat (00:43:08) by the way is not just a generic good (00:43:09) deeds. No, according to the Quran, it's (00:43:12) related to the root salah and in (00:43:15) traditional Arabic, we use the word. Any (00:43:18) Arabic speaker knows this, which means (00:43:20) terminology or specialized term, agreed (00:43:24) upon term. What is that? That's the (00:43:27) terminology of the Quran in this case. (00:43:29) The Quran refers to them as salhat. (00:43:33) So they toil on these terminology spec (00:43:37) specific terms and specialized terms (00:43:40) that are deposited within the Quran and (00:43:42) based on which the Quran is composed. If (00:43:45) you toil on these terms and you (00:43:47) understand them and even if you are from (00:43:50) a prior community of faith then what do (00:43:54) you receive? Allah is promising the (00:43:56) following. You receive concealed abodess (00:43:58) of understanding beneath which rivers (00:44:02) flow. Rivers of what? Rivers of (00:44:04) knowledge, rivers, rivers of guidance, (00:44:06) rivers of clarity, rivers of water from (00:44:10) which you can drink, sustain your faith, (00:44:12) sustain your connection to Allah. All (00:44:14) beautiful imagery. This is what the (00:44:16) Quran is is based on. If you're missing (00:44:19) this pleasure of engaging the Quran, I (00:44:22) really feel sorry for you. I really do. (00:44:25) Don't go criticizing what we're doing. (00:44:27) study it, learn it, and join us in this (00:44:30) tremendous pleasure of truly (00:44:33) appreciating the words of Allah and the (00:44:36) and the book of Allah, the book chosen (00:44:38) by Allah. And then they say, watch every (00:44:41) time they are provided sustenance in it (00:44:44) in in the janet. What does that mean? (00:44:46) They provided sustenance. They learn (00:44:48) something new. They understand something (00:44:50) new. Sustenance risk. They said uh this (00:44:54) is this is like the sustenance that (00:44:56) we've been provided before. Of course, (00:44:59) because their community of path, you (00:45:01) know, their their previous communities (00:45:03) of faith and in the past, this is what (00:45:06) the ayah is talking about. This is (00:45:07) evidence right in front of you. If you (00:45:09) understand it this way, then it makes (00:45:12) perfect sense. And they the doubters (00:45:15) mentioned in ayah 23 and 24. Remember (00:45:18) those people who who are doubting are (00:45:20) mentioned in these two ayat. They were (00:45:24) were uh beaten meaning outdone deluded (00:45:27) by the similarity of its appearance. (00:45:29) What does that mean? In the Quran there (00:45:31) are ayat that appear similar to what (00:45:34) they had in their corrupted scriptures. (00:45:37) And they said ah Muhammad is copying (00:45:39) from those corrupted scriptures from our (00:45:42) scriptures. So this ayah is saying this (00:45:45) similarity is a way to delude them to (00:45:48) confuse them to cause them to go into (00:45:51) that false accusation. (00:45:54) Um okay what about the people who (00:45:58) believed prior communities of faith who (00:46:00) actually work on the terminology of the (00:46:03) Quran? This ayah is telling us take (00:46:06) serious heed to the concept of the (00:46:09) terminology of the Quran. the exclusive (00:46:11) terminology used within the Quran and (00:46:13) the definitions for them is within the (00:46:15) Quran. Okay. What happens to those (00:46:18) people? Those people (00:46:20) uh to them in the concealed abodess of (00:46:22) privilege understanding janat (00:46:26) uh to them are available pristine pairs (00:46:29) as now we're introducing this concept of (00:46:31) zo plural of z is as what are the the (00:46:36) pairs in this case divine lexicon terms (00:46:39) and their indications that's one way to (00:46:41) understand it so the word jah means this (00:46:44) the word n means this the word Adam (00:46:47) means means this pairs. Pairs based on (00:46:50) what? Divine source, the Quran. (00:46:55) What else? Well, also counterparts (00:46:57) meaning those who come from the Malaya (00:47:00) to help you and guide you and teach you (00:47:02) and correct you and trim your vel and (00:47:03) showing your outlook on on understanding (00:47:06) the Quran and so on so forth. That's (00:47:08) another way to understand as (00:47:14) the word is a new term that the Quran (00:47:18) introduced that unfortunately was (00:47:20) misunderstood by the books of what does (00:47:23) oral (00:47:26) mean? It refers to a period that we (00:47:29) refer to on this channel as the days. (00:47:31) The days that's the period between full (00:47:34) sleep and consciousness. In other words, (00:47:37) when you lay your head on the pillow and (00:47:40) you go into this temporary (00:47:42) sort of semilucid (00:47:46) uh partly conscious but not really fully (00:47:48) conscious that's that's referred to as (00:47:51) the days the Quran talks about that. (00:47:53) Yeah. It's the period of time when you (00:47:55) get you get to download or or Allah (00:47:59) download all sorts of new knowledge to (00:48:01) those who follow the conditions of this (00:48:03) ayah the ayah in here. (00:48:07) So this ayah is giving you (00:48:08) methodological instructions. It's (00:48:11) defining those who receive the correct (00:48:14) understanding. Correct understanding (00:48:16) represented by the description of (00:48:20) gardens janet concealed abodess of (00:48:24) privileged understanding. Why is it (00:48:25) privileged? Because it's not available (00:48:27) to everyone. There are conditions for (00:48:30) it. And they're described as if below (00:48:34) them there are rivers gushing rivers of (00:48:37) knowledge that's gushing. You build (00:48:40) these concealed abodess upon other (00:48:43) knowledge you've received before. Okay. (00:48:46) So what else you receive updates to (00:48:50) these under to this understanding to (00:48:51) these privileged abodess of (00:48:53) understanding while you are in the days. (00:48:55) In other words, every night or every (00:48:57) time you go to sleep, right before you (00:48:59) sleep, these few seconds that you spend (00:49:02) half conscious, half awake, (00:49:06) that's very special time. (00:49:08) And the Quran is talking about this. (00:49:10) Yes, it's talking about this. For those (00:49:12) of you who have watched the segment on (00:49:15) uh surah 76, I believe segment YT 142, (00:49:19) somebody will correct me if I'm wrong on (00:49:21) the chat. Um we talked about this this (00:49:25) concept what you receive during the days (00:49:28) and what you receive is among other (00:49:31) things flashes of uh you know bright (00:49:35) lights that indicate you are currently (00:49:37) receiving directly from Allah or through (00:49:40) the (00:49:42) anyway you don't believe me I understand (00:49:44) some of you may not believe but those of (00:49:46) you who experienced this know that what (00:49:48) I'm saying is correct (00:49:52) This is the famous ayah now ayah 26 that (00:49:55) talk about that talks about and this is (00:49:58) the only mention of in the Quran (00:50:01) unfortunately the books of saf (00:50:02) translated it as mosquito as I said in (00:50:06) the opening let's read it in here Allah (00:50:09) does not seek to create hardship in life (00:50:11) by singling out any parable (00:50:15) for groups among bi is who incite (00:50:18) disagreement these These these groups of (00:50:20) people who incite discord discord in (00:50:23) societies, discord in in their (00:50:27) argumentation in the way they refuse to (00:50:30) adhere to the truth. They refuse to (00:50:33) adhere to the guidance from Allah and (00:50:35) they give themselves excessive (00:50:38) uh superiority as a race as an ethnic (00:50:41) group. This group of people have been (00:50:44) highlighted by the Quran in this term ba (00:50:48) and it's a it's a dimminitive word in (00:50:50) the sense that it's referring to them as (00:50:52) insects. They suck the blood of (00:50:54) societies. They suck the blood of their (00:50:57) target groups and they create divisions (00:51:00) and in some cases as you all know you (00:51:04) you end up smacking yourself (00:51:06) uh due to what this so-called insect is (00:51:11) doing. blood sucking insects. So Allah (00:51:13) is presenting the example of this of (00:51:17) these groups uh to be like insects (00:51:20) sucking the blood out of healthy (00:51:23) individuals and living as parasites (00:51:28) for to them they accept nothing above (00:51:31) them. Of course there they they claim (00:51:33) superiority. (00:51:35) This group arrogantly rejected those (00:51:37) that Allah elevated above them. Who are (00:51:40) the the others who whom Allah elevated (00:51:43) about above them the followers of the (00:51:45) Quran. So this group of people (00:51:49) [snorts] (00:51:49) those who create discord those who (00:51:52) create enmity in society and divisions (00:51:54) and and fragmentation in society. They (00:51:58) believe themselves superior and they (00:51:59) refuse to yield. They refuse to yield to (00:52:04) the decision by Allah that their (00:52:06) scripture has been superseded by the (00:52:08) Quran. So what do they do? They combat (00:52:12) they combat the commands from Allah for (00:52:15) all mankind to follow the Quran. (00:52:18) And we see it. Those of you who are (00:52:20) aware of what's happening in the news in (00:52:23) the last few years, in the last few (00:52:25) decades, are very familiar with what's (00:52:28) going on. (00:52:29) And thus as for those who believed (00:52:34) again past tense it's not talking about (00:52:38) the [clears throat] followers of the (00:52:39) Quran those of the prior communities of (00:52:43) faith who come into into the (00:52:46) understanding and the proper toiling on (00:52:48) the Quran. They know that the Quran is (00:52:52) they know that the Quran is the truth (00:52:55) from their Lord (00:52:58) the same source (00:53:00) who those who believed and understand (00:53:03) the Quran and toil on the Quran as we (00:53:05) saw in the prior ayah. [clears throat] (00:53:07) Now as to those who rejected who are (00:53:10) they described in this ayah they say (00:53:13) what did Allah want to convey with this (00:53:15) parable? (00:53:17) What is what do you mean by (00:53:20) what does that mean? What what kind of (00:53:21) an example are you bringing us? Now, (00:53:25) what's funny is that if you study the (00:53:27) books of Tapsier, they all fell into (00:53:29) this trap and they all said pretty much (00:53:32) the same thing to the point where we (00:53:34) have now people who finally say, "Hey, (00:53:36) hey, hey, wait. Above the mosquito on (00:53:40) the on the top of the you know the back (00:53:43) of the mosquito there are some bacteria (00:53:45) that really grow and very small etc etc. (00:53:49) Now we're able to see them with a (00:53:50) microscope." Ah, that must be what Allah (00:53:52) is talking about. still insisting that (00:53:54) Allah is talking about a mosquito. (00:53:59) So, okay, before the microscope, no one (00:54:02) could have seen this and Muhammad (00:54:04) sallallahu alaihi wasallam could not (00:54:05) have seen this and the believers around (00:54:07) Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam (00:54:08) could not have understood this. Is that (00:54:10) what you're saying? (00:54:12) Unfortunately, that's what they're (00:54:13) claiming. So (00:54:16) Allah uses it to misguide many people (00:54:19) and he uses it to guide many but he uses (00:54:22) it to misguide only the deviants. Who (00:54:24) are the deviants in this case? Alba (00:54:27) and the rejectors those who reject the (00:54:29) Quran in this case they're one and the (00:54:30) same. So you understand this is the (00:54:33) setup. Now when we come later there's a (00:54:37) bunch of ayat and I will let you read (00:54:38) them. I will scroll slowly so you can (00:54:41) read them even if you don't get access (00:54:43) to the to the notes file. But I (00:54:45) sincerely hope that you go to the (00:54:47) website and get access to this to the um (00:54:50) notes file. (00:54:52) This is the setup. We have we have a (00:54:54) paragraph that's talking about the Now (00:54:58) we go down to ayah 230. Ayah 230 starts (00:55:03) telling us about a scene where Allah (00:55:06) subhana wa ta'ala (00:55:08) um uh is is announcing that there shall (00:55:12) be successors a steward of a new (00:55:16) scripture of a new scripture that is (00:55:19) given to mankind. (00:55:22) This is the setup. So the bauda are (00:55:24) rejecting and the Quran told us about (00:55:27) this group of people who are rejecting. (00:55:29) Now read this ayah with that concept in (00:55:31) mind. You'll find it makes perfect (00:55:33) sense. It's not the speaking questioning (00:55:37) Allah. It is the bah who are proclaiming (00:55:40) their superiority. Read it. (00:55:44) The area says (00:55:47) when your lord said to the angels. What (00:55:49) does that mean? Lord said to the angels (00:55:51) either in prior scriptures or in the (00:55:53) Quran meaning in scriptures. (00:55:55) I always establish a successor steward (00:55:58) in the scripture Phil. Now you're going (00:56:00) to say Dr. Hannie, you're making things (00:56:02) up. Al does not mean scripture. Yes, it (00:56:04) does. It occurs 444 times approximately (00:56:08) in the Quran. If you study all of the (00:56:10) cases, the concept of which (00:56:12) linguistically is a very solid (00:56:15) interpretation of that term from the (00:56:17) from the uh insect al which is an Arabic (00:56:21) term for an insect that eats wood or (00:56:24) wood pulp or paper in general and leaves (00:56:27) these kind of squiggly marks that look (00:56:29) like someone is writing. Look it up. (00:56:32) It's in the dictionary. I'm not making (00:56:34) it up. So when you look up in the (00:56:36) dictionaries especially the old (00:56:38) dictionaries such as (00:56:41) or by mand or you know jin or any of the (00:56:46) dictionaries you'll find that these are (00:56:48) terms the Arabs understood. So the (00:56:51) concept of is something that that insect (00:56:54) eats. We call it termite that insect we (00:56:56) call it termite today but termites come (00:56:58) in all sorts of sizes. So linguistically (00:57:01) it's correct. We're not making things (00:57:03) up. So does the Quran talk about this (00:57:07) metaphorical image of what what the (00:57:11) paper or the the the sheets or leaves (00:57:16) upon which text appears like the the (00:57:19) eaten squiggly marks eaten by by (00:57:22) termites. Yeah, that's that's part of (00:57:25) the metaphorical representation of um uh (00:57:29) of the Quran used by the Abrahamic (00:57:31) location in the Abrahamic location (00:57:33) terminology of the Quran. So Allah (00:57:36) subhana t is instructing get ready (00:57:39) because there's going to be a new (00:57:40) scripture and new successors after ban (00:57:42) is after the book of MS expired. (00:57:48) They said this is all this ayah says. (00:57:51) They said well who is they? Who is the (00:57:54) subject of this verbal? (00:57:57) All the books of said well these are the (00:58:00) objecting. (00:58:02) If the malik are objecting you have a (00:58:04) theological problem because the Quran (00:58:07) clearly tells us no one objects to the (00:58:09) commands of Allah. (00:58:13) He is never to be questioned about what (00:58:15) he does (00:58:17) and they are to be questioned. (00:58:19) What do we do with that ayah? If you (00:58:21) interpret the subject of to mean the (00:58:26) also the we are told in the Quran they (00:58:30) do what they're commanded (00:58:33) and they never disobey. (00:58:37) So how do you reconcile these two facts (00:58:40) from the Quran? If you say as all the (00:58:43) books of taps did that the subject of is (00:58:49) how do you reconcile these these (00:58:51) seemingly conflicting pieces of (00:58:53) knowledge from the Quran? You can't. So (00:58:56) what do you do? You question whether or (00:58:59) not you're interpreting the subject of (00:59:01) the verbal. (00:59:04) you question whether your interpretation (00:59:05) of the subject of this verb is correct. (00:59:08) So what do you do? Well, in Arabic, if (00:59:11) you give me a sentence like this and you (00:59:14) give me a verbal, they said, I have the (00:59:17) right to say, okay, the subject could be (00:59:19) nearby or could be from the paragraph (00:59:23) that I'm dealing with, which is in this (00:59:25) case. (00:59:28) Remember, they're rejectors. So they're (00:59:30) objecting to what Allah is commanding (00:59:33) the Malikah. What is Allah commanding (00:59:35) the Malika to do? To bring the new (00:59:37) scripture to a new group of successors. (00:59:40) Wonderful Khalifa. (00:59:43) They objected. Who? The ones who stand (00:59:46) to lose their prior status as the prior (00:59:50) stewards of the prior scripture. (00:59:53) Remember they had lost it and they (00:59:55) rewrote it from with their own hands (00:59:59) claiming from memory and the Quran (01:00:01) confirms it's all lies. (01:00:04) Do they stand to lose? Of course that's (01:00:06) the Bah. (01:00:08) So they said they said the Bahuda says (01:00:11) are you going to make or put in it (01:00:14) someone who corrupt (01:00:17) it and who would cause bloodshed? How (01:00:20) would they know? They were the ones who (01:00:22) did this to their own scriptures. (01:00:24) So when you read when you read in so (01:00:28) many different videos, so many different (01:00:30) books, how did the Maha know? Well, (01:00:33) they're assuming this is the very first (01:00:35) creation by the way, which is the wrong (01:00:37) assumption because it doesn't say that. (01:00:39) Never says that because they their (01:00:41) problem is they interpreted the word ar (01:00:43) to mean earth. Does not. It means the (01:00:46) text of the scripture. So if you (01:00:49) understand it this way, this ayah (01:00:51) illuminates, it lights up. It makes it (01:00:53) so brilliantly easy to understand. So (01:00:56) this ayah fits in the context of this (01:00:59) paragraph. What did the books of tap do? (01:01:02) What did the books of translations do? (01:01:05) They took this ayah totally out of its (01:01:07) context and tried to interpret it. And (01:01:10) even worse, they brought the wrong (01:01:12) understanding of the word. They brought (01:01:14) the wrong subject to the verbal. (01:01:17) They created all sorts of confusing (01:01:20) assumptions (01:01:22) that led them nowhere. And 99.99% (01:01:27) of the Muslims don't understand this (01:01:29) ayah correctly because of the mistakes (01:01:32) of the books of tapsier and the books of (01:01:33) translation. (01:01:35) Are we to blame for this? No. We're (01:01:37) bringing a solution. You don't accept (01:01:40) this gift. Don't be. You lose. I'm (01:01:43) sorry. We're not going to look back. (01:01:46) We're going forward and we're happy that (01:01:48) Allah subhana wa ta'ala allowed us to (01:01:50) understand this ayah with new light, (01:01:52) with new illumination, with new radiance (01:01:55) coming directly from him. (01:01:57) [clears throat] If that makes you angry, (01:01:59) that's your jealousy speaking. If that (01:02:02) makes you happy, join us. This is what (01:02:04) we're doing on this channel for six (01:02:06) years. Alhamdulillah. (01:02:08) So they questioned Allah. Yeah, they're (01:02:10) rejectors. They're they question Allah. (01:02:13) The M can never question Allah. That by (01:02:17) itself, by the way, should cause you to (01:02:19) put a huge blinking neon sign question (01:02:22) mark on all the books of taps and all (01:02:25) the books of translation. This one (01:02:27) issue, (01:02:31) their answer, by the way, is screaming (01:02:33) with supremacy, we are better. How dare (01:02:37) you do this to us? To whom are they (01:02:39) talking? To Allah. (01:02:43) I feel sad. I really feel sad for our (01:02:46) children who read the books of taps and (01:02:48) think that this is what this ayah is (01:02:50) talking about. (01:02:53) Allah respond, I know that which you do (01:02:56) not know. In other words, your knowledge (01:02:58) was not perfect and we're bringing new (01:03:01) knowledge with the new scripture. What (01:03:02) is the new scripture? The Quran. Does (01:03:05) this belong in the opening part of surah (01:03:08) al bakar which is right up front in the (01:03:10) beginning of the Quran? Absolutely. It (01:03:13) fits. It makes perfect sense. So now we (01:03:16) understand the context. Okay. There's (01:03:18) another alternate translation in here. I (01:03:19) will let you read it. Please pause and (01:03:21) read it carefully because you have to (01:03:23) understand. And I refer you back to (01:03:25) segment YT70. (01:03:27) It has beautiful gems and gifts and (01:03:31) amazing knowledge that has been (01:03:33) presented before. I'm only giving you a (01:03:35) summary despite the fact that we've (01:03:36) taken almost an hour so far uh on these (01:03:39) few. This is only a summary of what we (01:03:41) presented before. I highly encourage you (01:03:44) and urge you to not waste the (01:03:47) opportunity of of learning from this (01:03:49) from our channel, but go through the (01:03:52) series of videos as if they're a course. (01:03:55) You know, you go to university, you (01:03:57) take, you know, algebra 101 and then you (01:04:00) take algebra 102 and then you take (01:04:02) algebra 2011 and then you take algebra (01:04:05) 202, etc. You don't jump to algebra, you (01:04:08) know, 306, (01:04:10) assuming you're going to understand (01:04:13) after you have skipped over all the (01:04:15) prior segments. (01:04:17) I hope you understand this is how our (01:04:19) channel is uh structured. (01:04:25) Now the next the next ayah talks about (01:04:30) how in this case Muhammad because we're (01:04:32) talking about the Quran. So who is Adam (01:04:34) in this case? Muhammad (01:04:39) Allah taught Adam all the labels. What (01:04:43) is we said on this channel we've been (01:04:45) saying this for over five six years. The (01:04:48) word as in the Quran means the (01:04:50) vocabulary terms. We refer to them (01:04:52) linguistically as the labels. So you see (01:04:55) an animal with four legs and you know (01:04:58) fluffy ears and and a bark and you know (01:05:01) some canine and it looks like a dog and (01:05:04) you give it the name dog. The word dog d (01:05:07) is a label vocabulary term. That's (01:05:09) something you assigned to that animal. (01:05:12) Okay. A cow looks similar but different. (01:05:16) That's given a different label. (01:05:19) The labels used in the Quran, their (01:05:21) definitions belong to Allah. The word (01:05:24) for that terminology is hum. (01:05:27) [clears throat] The determination, the (01:05:28) linguistic discernment. (01:05:30) For the terminology of the Quran does (01:05:32) not belong to human beings, does not (01:05:34) belong to Qur does not belong to the (01:05:36) Arabs, does not belong to the poets of (01:05:39) the seventh century. (01:05:41) The terminology belongs to Allah who (01:05:43) used this terminology in his final (01:05:46) scripture, the Quran. Refer back to the (01:05:49) Quran to understand such terminology. (01:05:51) Don't make it up. (01:05:54) So Allah taught Adam all of these terms (01:05:59) and vocabulary terms and then (01:06:04) what? Well, again, if you do the study (01:06:07) and the research, you understand this (01:06:09) concept. (01:06:11) subjected them the Budah as well as the (01:06:14) news stewards, the followers of the (01:06:15) Quran, those who received the Quran and (01:06:18) were tasked with with presenting it uh (01:06:20) to to the other nations and sort of (01:06:23) preserving it, memorizing it. (01:06:25) Alhamdulillah, the Muslims have done a (01:06:28) phenomenal job at that part, preserving (01:06:31) the Quran, wonderful with the help and (01:06:34) support and command of Allah. (01:06:36) Alhamdulillah, they are the new (01:06:37) stewards. But the bauda also were (01:06:40) subjected to the uh to the angels. What (01:06:43) does that mean? They're subjected to the (01:06:45) terminology and subjected to the (01:06:47) discernment and the judgment in the (01:06:50) Quran regarding those two groups, the (01:06:53) and the new stewards. Does the Quran (01:06:56) give judgments about those who believed (01:06:58) and rejected? And yes, of course, the (01:07:03) Quran is all about that. So (01:07:08) is a an expression in the Quran that (01:07:10) means they're subjected they're (01:07:13) subjected to what Allah determined and (01:07:16) judge them according to the Quran. Again (01:07:19) refer back to segment YT707172. (01:07:23) You'll understand where where we bring (01:07:25) these these uh interpretations from. (01:07:28) They're not they're not my opinion. (01:07:30) They're they're based on solid heavyduty (01:07:33) timeconsuming diligent research. (01:07:38) And thus Adam, the ayah continues, "And (01:07:41) thus Adam, he Adam Muhammad said to them (01:07:45) in the Quran, prophesy to to me the (01:07:48) labels and give me the labels if you are (01:07:51) so smart." Remember, they're they're (01:07:53) questioning Allah, meaning they reject (01:07:57) to this day. They reject. By the way, (01:07:59) they reject that Allah brought a brand (01:08:02) new scripture that has superior (01:08:04) knowledge to what they had. (01:08:06) Whom are we talking about? You all know (01:08:08) what I'm talking about. The followers of (01:08:10) the Bible. They reject the Quran. And (01:08:13) they hold on to their old knowledge, the (01:08:15) incomplete provisional knowledge Allah (01:08:18) gave them temporarily. (01:08:21) They believe that was the final. No, the (01:08:24) Quran is the final. And this paragraph (01:08:27) is teaching us this whole concept that (01:08:30) there is a group of people from the (01:08:31) prior communities of faith who reject (01:08:34) and they're holding on arrogantly to (01:08:38) their supremacy to their claims of (01:08:40) supremacy (01:08:42) and they're saying what we were given is (01:08:44) correct. The new scripture is wrong. We (01:08:48) reject it. And in fact this paragraph is (01:08:51) teaching us they questioned Allah. (01:08:55) Why? Why is this a new religion? (01:08:58) This is exactly what the Quran is all (01:09:00) about. That's what all the scholars (01:09:02) teach us. But when you go to read the (01:09:04) books of Taps, you find that their (01:09:06) writings contradict with what they teach (01:09:08) us. The Quran is clear. It's teaching us (01:09:12) exactly the correct sequence of events. (01:09:15) Let's go to the next um part now. Ayah (01:09:19) 33. I'm going to skip over this one, but (01:09:21) you can read it. (01:09:23) Um (01:09:26) he said to Adam and Bum, "Oh Adam, (01:09:29) prophesy to them using their previously (01:09:32) guarded secret labels. (01:09:43) understood the asat of the prior (01:09:45) scripture. Why? As we explained, he was (01:09:50) a nabi for them, for Benny is he was a (01:09:54) rasool for all future generations (01:09:57) following the Quran. Rasool, messenger. (01:09:59) Two different roles, two different jobs, (01:10:02) offices if you want. So in his (01:10:06) prior job which is nebi for beni is (01:10:10) because only beni is received the nebun (01:10:14) not ambia (01:10:16) before mus butun is for the period of (01:10:20) mus until the last one being Muhammad (01:10:24) they are nebun for beni is (01:10:28) Dr. You're saying Muhammad was an Abi (01:10:30) for Bi is yeah look at the research that (01:10:33) we produced segment YT134 YT135 and (01:10:37) study it carefully you'll see the Quran (01:10:39) is screaming with evidence about this (01:10:43) well why did they not teach us this in (01:10:45) the last 1400 years go ask them I'm (01:10:48) showing you the evidence from the Quran (01:10:50) okay so in this area Muhammad Danabi (01:10:53) understood their old terminology their (01:10:56) expired scripture terminology ology (01:11:00) and he spoke to them using their (01:11:03) terminology. (01:11:04) By the way, do we have narrations that (01:11:06) confirm this? Yes, we do. If you're not (01:11:09) aware of this, that's your weakness, (01:11:12) your problem, your lack of diligence. (01:11:15) We have narrations, historical reports (01:11:18) that say certain rabbis came to Muhammad (01:11:20) to challenge him and he spoke to them in (01:11:22) their terminology. He explained to them (01:11:25) certain terminology correctly and some (01:11:28) of them became followers of Muhammad (01:11:30) because they yielded they submitted. (01:11:32) Yeah, you must have received this (01:11:34) knowledge from Allah because we did not (01:11:36) teach you this. The secret group of of (01:11:38) of leaders of Bi is did not teach (01:11:41) Muhammad this. So where did he learn it? (01:11:43) From Allah and they became followers of (01:11:46) Muhammad. (01:11:48) If you don't believe me, look up a (01:11:50) famous narration called (01:11:56) Alfoon. Just type on Google Hadith (01:11:59) Talban (01:12:01) and you'll see an exact narration (01:12:04) reported in Bkari and Muslim etc etc (01:12:07) where Muhammad sallallahu alaihi (01:12:08) wasallam spoke their secret code secret (01:12:11) location (01:12:12) sorry (01:12:19) [clears throat] (01:12:21) but we don't need that narration the (01:12:23) ayah is explicitly telling us Muhammad (01:12:26) spoke their secret ution. (01:12:30) Then Allah subhana wa ta'ala told them, (01:12:33) "Did I not tell you? Did I not tell you (01:12:35) that I know the undisclosed of the (01:12:38) layers of understanding in the scripture (01:12:40) and I know what you declare and what you (01:12:43) decide what you used to hide." In other (01:12:45) words, this group of people hid some of (01:12:47) their knowledge, hid their secret code (01:12:51) from their man-made written scripture. (01:12:55) Muhammad understood it by direct (01:12:57) knowledge from Allah. This ayah is (01:12:59) teaching us. That was the challenge to (01:13:01) them. Why is this ayah telling us all of (01:13:04) this stuff? Because Allah is again (01:13:06) giving us a history of what happened (01:13:09) before the Quran was revealed and why (01:13:11) the Quran is the final scripture. And (01:13:14) who are the rejectors? The And we're (01:13:17) going to see they're referred to as a (01:13:21) the argumentative people. (01:13:24) So, does this paragraph make so much (01:13:26) sense now? Yes, it does. It fits (01:13:29) beautifully in everything that the rest (01:13:31) of the Quran talks about. (01:13:33) So, do we have cause to reject what was (01:13:37) written in the books of Tapsier about (01:13:39) this paragraph? 100%. No, a thousand%. (01:13:44) And I say this with full confidence (01:13:46) because before their interpretations did (01:13:49) not make sense. We're going to see ayah (01:13:51) 36. Okay. So Isaiah 34 (01:13:56) we said now we by the way the angels (01:13:59) again we've discussed this in so many (01:14:00) different segments before you don't (01:14:02) understand why we're saying we is the (01:14:05) angels speaking because you haven't seen (01:14:08) the prior segments. So I advise you to (01:14:11) see the prior segments we where we've (01:14:13) discussed this in full detail and we (01:14:16) provided evidence. Now, (01:14:20) you're going to say we is the royal we. (01:14:22) No, it's not. And we've given evidence (01:14:25) for this. Please refer back to earlier (01:14:27) segments before you criticize and make a (01:14:29) fool of yourself. I'm sorry to say this, (01:14:31) but that's basically what you're doing (01:14:33) when you criticize without knowledge. (01:14:35) Watching 8 hours out of over 4 500 hours (01:14:39) uh of material that we have on our (01:14:40) channel makes you look like a fool, like (01:14:43) a stupid idiot claiming to be a muy or a (01:14:45) scholar. (01:14:47) All right. So, we said to the angels, (01:14:50) what do you mean the angels said to the (01:14:51) angels? Yeah, a group of angels said to (01:14:52) the rest of the angels. It's not a big (01:14:54) deal. We I said to my family, I am part (01:14:57) of that family. Yeah, I said to my (01:14:59) family. It's used all the time. There's (01:15:01) nothing wrong with that. Prostrate in (01:15:04) submission to Adam. Notice Adam with a (01:15:07) small A. What does that mean? Prostrate (01:15:08) in submission? Help him. Support him. (01:15:11) Provide him the help he needs in (01:15:13) understanding the Quran. Understanding (01:15:15) the Quran. Because remember we're (01:15:16) talking about toiling on the Quran. (01:15:18) That's what the whole beginning of the (01:15:21) paragraph started with. So is Adam and (01:15:25) they all prostrated except except welll (01:15:31) is part of the No, that's not what the (01:15:33) sentence is saying. It's saying that (01:15:36) everyone prostrated exceptl did not (01:15:38) prostrate. That's it. That's all it (01:15:40) means. What isl? We defined EL in (01:15:43) segment YT74. (01:15:45) YT74. Please refer back to the (01:15:48) definition of El and we expanded upon (01:15:51) that definition with segment YT75, (01:15:54) YT76. (01:15:56) We talked about shaitan and the (01:15:58) definition of the psychological model (01:16:00) from the Quran. Beautiful, beautiful (01:16:03) amount of knowledge in all of these (01:16:05) segments that we're talking about. So (01:16:07) who isl? Kl is a part of you, a (01:16:10) counterpart to your rational faculty. (01:16:12) Think about it this way. Allah gave you (01:16:15) the ability to learn independently. (01:16:17) Right? That's how Allah dignified (01:16:20) mankind. (01:16:22) So, can you think independently? (01:16:25) Uh whereas an elephant or a chimp or a (01:16:29) rat uh or a you know a lion cannot think (01:16:32) rationally independently. The answer is (01:16:34) yes. You all know this. All right. (01:16:37) What's the proof? Well, in millions of (01:16:40) years that elephants have existed on (01:16:42) this earth, not a single one of them (01:16:45) have learned to pick up a pen and write (01:16:48) with a pen or even, you know, let alone (01:16:51) manufacture a pen. Well, what does that (01:16:53) prove? That proved we have superior (01:16:55) learning abilities. Okay, good. I hope I (01:16:57) convinced you. There's a lot more if you (01:17:00) go back to those segments I mentioned. (01:17:01) YT74, YT75, YT76. (01:17:05) What else? Well, part of the (01:17:08) independence of learning comes you know (01:17:11) with that comes a necessary but risky (01:17:16) situation which is you may learn the (01:17:18) wrong things and you may fall subject to (01:17:21) your biases and predilictions. (01:17:23) Huh? That's called (01:17:26) according to the Quran. Again, we proved (01:17:29) it. We gave you the evidence. That's (01:17:31) referred to asl. El is not an external, (01:17:35) you know, entity that comes to scare you (01:17:37) in the middle of the night that's hiding (01:17:38) behind, you know, dark rooms, uh, closed (01:17:41) doors or bathrooms or all of this (01:17:44) mythology they teach to the poor Muslim (01:17:47) children. Unfortunately, (01:17:49) no. Ell is part of your rational (01:17:52) faculty. It's the risk of learning the (01:17:54) wrong things and insisting, grabbing, (01:17:58) attaching yourself to those wrong (01:18:00) things. So it's a side effect of (01:18:03) rational faculty. (01:18:05) Allah is warning us. Yes, you can use (01:18:07) irrational faculty, but there isl be (01:18:10) careful. Ell will not yield, will not (01:18:12) come to your help. That's what it means. (01:18:15) El will not (01:18:18) uh prostrate in submission. would not (01:18:21) yield. (01:18:22) Sol was among the rejectors. So that (01:18:26) brings you to reject things because you (01:18:29) think you're using your rational (01:18:30) faculty. (01:18:32) Very simple, very beautiful, very (01:18:34) elegant, very philosophical, very (01:18:37) advanced knowledge for those who (01:18:39) reflect. It is not useful knowledge for (01:18:42) those who read the superficial, who skim (01:18:45) the surface layers of the Quran and (01:18:48) insist that the Quran is for fourth (01:18:50) graders. Yeah, it's annoying to them (01:18:53) because the text of the Quran is for (01:18:55) advanced readers, is for all times and (01:18:58) all levels of cognition, (01:19:01) all level levels of intellectual (01:19:04) attitude. (01:19:06) So those who are attacking us because (01:19:08) we're going deeper, (01:19:10) you understand what levels of aptitude (01:19:12) they suffer from. Unfortunately, they (01:19:16) represent themselves as the gatekeepers (01:19:17) of Islam and they accuse us of inventing (01:19:20) a new religion. It's sad. (01:19:23) Okay. So the next ayah is where the crux (01:19:27) of the matter starts. (01:19:32) And we said, "Oh, Adam again, who's we?" (01:19:34) The what does that mean? We told Adam or (01:19:37) we said to Adam, you know, uh find your (01:19:40) source of tranquility. You along with (01:19:42) your counterpart (01:19:45) in Jenna. What does that mean? Malik are (01:19:47) telling Adam that they're telling Adam, (01:19:49) Adam here, remember a selected familiar (01:19:52) proxy, someone who understands and who (01:19:54) can deliver such messages, who who (01:19:57) brings them out to those around him, who (01:19:59) speaks and teaches and and understands (01:20:03) properly using the terminology. Very (01:20:05) good. So, who's the counterpart? The (01:20:08) thel that I talked about a little (01:20:10) earlier mentioned in in the prior area. (01:20:14) Notwah, not Eve. This is not talking (01:20:17) about the first man and woman. (01:20:19) Absolutely not. There's no mention of (01:20:20) any of them. (01:20:22) Where did our scholars bring this? From (01:20:24) the Bible. (01:20:26) Why did they do this? Go ask them. (01:20:30) It does not mean that they're correct. (01:20:34) Where's the name or Eve mentioned (01:20:36) anywhere in the Quran? And yet if you (01:20:39) tell someone there is no Eve, there's no (01:20:42) they accuse you of being a kafir. (01:20:45) Where did they get this knowledge from? (01:20:47) From the Bible. So the books of Tapsier, (01:20:50) especially those who parrot knowledge (01:20:53) blindly from the books of taps and the (01:20:56) books of translation unfortunately (01:20:59) are teaching us biblical Islam, not (01:21:03) Quranic Islam. They are the ones who are (01:21:06) who have brought us a false religion (01:21:09) under the name of Islam and now they're (01:21:12) attacking us because we're going back to (01:21:14) the original source, the Quran. (01:21:18) You have evidence, bring it. You want to (01:21:20) throw labels, it belies what you're (01:21:24) doing. It it sort of betrays your true (01:21:26) intentions. (01:21:30) Aya 35 says the Malika commanded Adam in (01:21:35) this case anyone who's seeking to to (01:21:37) learn to understand the Quran to toil (01:21:40) and the will help as we've explained in (01:21:43) many different segments before find (01:21:46) tranquility source of tranquility (01:21:53) in the concealed abode of privileged (01:21:55) understanding. Beautiful. (01:21:58) So the Mah are saying, "We're going to (01:22:00) give you this special place where you (01:22:02) toil on the Quran, you understand, you (01:22:05) develop new knowledge, and you find this (01:22:07) tranquility and pleasure unlike anything (01:22:10) else of this world." Those of you who (01:22:12) have gotten there, (01:22:15) um, understand this pleasure and (01:22:16) understand how (01:22:18) they're so committed to protect it. They (01:22:21) don't want to lose it because they know (01:22:23) this is their connection to the divine. (01:22:25) So the Mik are saying stay there. Find (01:22:28) your tranquility there. Don't leave it (01:22:31) and consume (01:22:34) consume from it in abundance. (01:22:39) Pay attention. Is a dual form of the (01:22:42) imperative verb. (01:22:44) Eat, consume. What does that mean? (01:22:47) Consume. Consume by studying. Consume (01:22:49) the new knowledge. Consume this source (01:22:52) of happiness. this this material (01:22:54) sustenance uh immaterial if you want (01:22:56) sustenance that gives you pleasure that (01:22:59) gives you good understanding of the (01:23:01) words in the book of Allah consume do so (01:23:06) the ayah the ayah here the are speaking (01:23:09) to two (01:23:15) you and your counterpart two dual (01:23:19) both of you (01:23:22) wherever you want (01:23:24) whatever you will (01:23:27) and don't go near duel again dual (01:23:32) don't go near this shara (01:23:37) does not mean tree that's the biblical (01:23:39) understanding of the word (01:23:42) if you if you trace the root (01:23:46) and (01:23:51) it refers to a plural of those who are (01:23:55) argumentative in excess. (01:23:58) So excessively argumentative group of (01:24:00) people. Who are they? The same as the (01:24:03) same as rejectors. The same as those who (01:24:05) questioned why Allah would bring a new (01:24:07) scripture. (01:24:09) It's so obvious. It's so it's screaming (01:24:11) clarity. And yet they want to diffuse (01:24:14) this clarity by bringing confusing (01:24:17) understanding of these terms. (01:24:20) So in the biblical model in the biblical (01:24:22) image there is a tree apple tree or (01:24:25) whatever and Allah forbade them to eat (01:24:27) from that tree. No the terminology of (01:24:30) the Quran is much more elegant much more (01:24:33) beautiful much more insightful for those (01:24:35) who reflect. (01:24:38) What happens if you go near that group (01:24:40) of argumentative people? What did they (01:24:43) argue by the way? They're arguing with (01:24:44) Allah himself. They're questioning why (01:24:47) Allah is bringing a new scripture and (01:24:51) superseding them with a new group of (01:24:53) successors. They're losing their status. (01:24:57) They're argumentative, of course. (01:25:01) So, what happens if you do this? Then (01:25:03) you will be among the transgressors like (01:25:05) them. (01:25:07) Very clear. Now, (01:25:10) ayah 36. This is the the the heart of (01:25:13) this whole segment. (01:25:18) Now Ashaitan is introduced a new (01:25:20) character in the story. Ashaitan well we (01:25:23) refer to him as Satan if you want. (01:25:24) That's the traditional interpretation or (01:25:27) translation. But it's not the Christian (01:25:29) Satan. It is not this this character (01:25:32) that's outside of us who is divorced (01:25:35) from anything we do and is only there to (01:25:39) cause us to slip and fall. (01:25:42) It's not the Quranic shaitan. The (01:25:44) Quranic shaitan, again we defined it in (01:25:46) segment YT74, YT75, YT76. (01:25:51) The Quranic shaitan is anyone who causes (01:25:53) you to be detached from divine guidance (01:25:57) from Allah. (01:25:59) So if you move in a direction where you (01:26:02) lose that connection with Allah, with (01:26:04) your creator, you've just taken on the (01:26:08) characteristics of a shaitan, a satan (01:26:12) disconnected from Allah. That's the (01:26:15) definition of the term shaitan according (01:26:17) to the Quran. Not this monster dressed (01:26:20) in red with horns and a tail and you (01:26:24) know carrying a pitch and guarding the (01:26:26) fire, the hellfire. That's all Christian (01:26:28) model. Christian crap. Garbage not part (01:26:32) of the Quran. (01:26:34) Shaitan is directly a result of your (01:26:38) choosing to be disconnected from Allah. (01:26:40) You've become a shaitan. And can you (01:26:43) influence others? If you choose that (01:26:45) route, the answer is yes. (01:26:48) So shaitan (01:26:50) set both of them out of it. Meaning out (01:26:54) of Jenna. What does that mean? If they (01:26:57) are in paradise as they told us al Jenna (01:27:00) means that means shaitan was with them (01:27:03) in Jenna or shaitan was at least (01:27:05) influencing them. How did he talk to (01:27:07) them? You know what some scholars said? (01:27:10) Most books of taps actually dealt with (01:27:12) this issue. They recognized we have a (01:27:14) problem. What are we going to do with (01:27:16) this? You know what they said? They (01:27:18) said, some of them said (01:27:21) Shaitan was yelling from outside the (01:27:23) door of Jenna and Adam and his wife Eve (01:27:27) heard Shan. (01:27:29) I swear to you, this is what's written (01:27:31) in the books of Tapsi. In other books of (01:27:33) taps, they said, well, he was whispering (01:27:36) through their intellectual, you know, (01:27:38) mental voices. (01:27:42) Well, does Shayan have access to us in (01:27:44) the paradise, in the afterlife? (01:27:48) answer me. (01:27:50) Others said, "Oh, Shayan got into a (01:27:52) snake and the snake slipped in, (01:27:57) slivered through the gateways of Jenna (01:28:00) and got close to Adam where it could (01:28:04) talk to Adam and his wife." (01:28:08) Biblical. (01:28:10) Does the Quran talk about this? No. (01:28:12) Where did they bring this stuff? They (01:28:14) made it up. So this this (01:28:17) brother, I feel sorry for him. He's (01:28:20) attacking me and defending the books of (01:28:22) Tapsi by saying (01:28:25) the books of Tapsier never brought (01:28:27) anything new. They just explained what's (01:28:28) there. That's a lie. It's either a lie (01:28:31) or pure ignorance because he that means (01:28:34) he's never read any books of taps. (01:28:38) The books of taps bring us the concept (01:28:40) of Adam and Eve. Where did they bring (01:28:43) that from? Not from the Quran. Quran (01:28:45) doesn't talk about Eve. Where did they (01:28:48) bring this concept from? Biblical (01:28:50) sources. Books of Tapsier. Yeah, I told (01:28:52) you they're presenting (01:28:55) biblical Islam, not Quranic Islam. (01:28:58) You want to follow them, be my guest, (01:29:00) Tom. Too bad for you. I feel I feel sad. (01:29:04) But we are witnesses against you because (01:29:06) we are presenting the evidence from the (01:29:08) Quran with a legitimate, plausible, (01:29:12) reliable interpretation that ascribes to (01:29:15) Allah his due reverence. You want to (01:29:17) refuse this, your judgment belongs to (01:29:20) Allah, not to me. I'm not going to hold (01:29:21) you in judgment. Allah will. (01:29:24) You want to understand what we're trying (01:29:26) to do with earnest sincerity and with (01:29:30) due diligence. And yes, it's it takes (01:29:32) time, but you can do this. And we're (01:29:35) presenting it in relatively short (01:29:38) segment, one to two hours that you can (01:29:40) handle. You can handle one per week. So (01:29:43) over the course of 2 years, you can you (01:29:45) can actually watch everything on the (01:29:47) channel and you can learn this and you (01:29:50) have access to direct connection with (01:29:52) Allah. You want to reject this? It's up (01:29:55) to you. You want to attack us and (01:29:58) prevent others from learning what we're (01:30:00) teaching, it's also up to you. But your (01:30:03) judgment belongs to Allah. (01:30:07) So what is the interpretation here? (01:30:09) Jenna is this privileged understanding (01:30:13) in this life. Allah gives you this (01:30:16) understanding of the Quran. Gives you (01:30:18) the understanding of reality as Allah (01:30:20) created it and gives you this pleasure. (01:30:23) It makes you feel you have a direct (01:30:24) connection with Allah and you have all (01:30:26) of these fruits within your garden with (01:30:28) an access to you. That's the image. (01:30:32) Okay. Can shaitan come and threaten you (01:30:36) in this life? The answer is yes. Now (01:30:38) this ayah makes sense. (01:30:42) So when shaitan convinces you to follow (01:30:45) the ways of the biblical interpreters of (01:30:48) Quran (01:30:50) who followed a shaj who disobeyed the (01:30:53) command in ayah 35 (01:30:57) don't go near the argumentative people (01:31:02) what happens to to to those who follow (01:31:05) the biblical interpreters the books of (01:31:07) taps they become shaitan (01:31:10) they become influenced by shaitan and (01:31:13) then they're brought out of the (01:31:16) privileged understanding the abodess of (01:31:18) privileged understanding the ja that we (01:31:21) saw earlier. (01:31:24) That means you no longer have access to (01:31:26) direct connection with Allah. Why? (01:31:29) Because you chose to associate with (01:31:32) Allah another source of knowledge. What (01:31:34) is that source of knowledge? (01:31:37) the rejectors, a the argumentative (01:31:40) people, the people who saw discord, (01:31:43) etc., etc. (01:31:46) So, it's the it's the exact opposite of (01:31:48) what they taught us. (01:31:50) It's the exact opposite of what they (01:31:52) taught us, but the interpretation is so (01:31:55) simple and so elegant and so clear and (01:31:57) no contradictions whatsoever. Now, (01:32:03) said descend from it. Now notice this is (01:32:06) plural no longer dual. (01:32:09) Pay attention. Why have I talked about (01:32:12) dual dual dual dual? (01:32:15) Because so far the paragraph is talking (01:32:17) about two two characters Adam and his (01:32:19) counterpart. No, it's not Eve (01:32:22) counterpart el the rational faculty that (01:32:24) could mislead you. Okay, very good. Now (01:32:28) in this ayah (01:32:31) the speech changes to plural not dual (01:32:34) meaning possibly three (01:32:39) not (01:32:41) two of you descend (01:32:43) plural. So who else? Who else? Well, (01:32:49) who else? Those who follow a (01:32:53) Adam. his counterpart meaning the the (01:32:56) mental faculty of Adam descend from this (01:32:59) state of direct connection to Allah. (01:33:02) Why? Because now some of you become (01:33:04) enemies one to another. And this is (01:33:07) exactly what happened to the Muslims. (01:33:10) Study the history. We've been in enmity (01:33:13) against each other ever since year 40. (01:33:17) Ever since the omayad of Quraysh brought (01:33:20) us out of the pure understanding of the (01:33:22) early companions of Muhammad sallallahu (01:33:23) alaihi wasallam to the understanding (01:33:25) based on and (01:33:29) this is the history of Islam. (01:33:33) What is the solution (01:33:36) in al meaning in the scripture in the (01:33:39) scriptural text only there (01:33:43) you have a domain for seeking insights (01:33:46) to catch up back on the true (01:33:49) understanding of the Quran and the true (01:33:51) understanding of the commands of Allah (01:33:55) and a respit a delay a provisional (01:33:58) incomplete understanding towards a (01:34:00) specific later time what is that saying (01:34:02) that's saying you're not going to (01:34:04) understand anything or everything. (01:34:06) Sorry. You're not going to understand (01:34:07) everything. You're going to have some (01:34:08) provisional understanding, but later on (01:34:12) later on there is a specific later time (01:34:15) when you really understand much more. Is (01:34:19) that is that last part (01:34:22) possibly understanding or indicating (01:34:25) this time in which we're living right (01:34:27) now and what we're talking and what (01:34:29) we're saying right now? understanding (01:34:31) this paragraph which has never been (01:34:33) understood as I explained it. The answer (01:34:35) is yes. If you don't see this, I'm (01:34:38) sorry, you're blind or you're arrogant (01:34:40) or you're just among the rejectors. (01:34:43) You're defending the you're defending (01:34:46) those who argued against Allah and his (01:34:48) commands. You want to do this, be my (01:34:51) guest. Your judgment is with Allah, not (01:34:53) with me. I don't have to defend myself. (01:34:58) Now, it makes sense. What was Saitan (01:34:59) doing in Jenna? Yeah, Jenna of this (01:35:01) earth, the correct understanding is (01:35:04) subject to to lo to be lost. You know, (01:35:06) we're subject to lose such understanding (01:35:09) when if we fall into the trap of going (01:35:14) back to the biblical interpretations of (01:35:16) the Quran. (01:35:19) Makes perfect sense. Makes perfect (01:35:21) sense. And you cannot deny that. Now, (01:35:24) aya 37 (01:35:29) Adam, remember who's Adam in this case? (01:35:31) Muhammad, received from his Lord some (01:35:34) key expressions, dua, expressions, ways (01:35:37) to sort of make up (01:35:40) [snorts] (01:35:41) and thus he granted him assessation from (01:35:44) his earlier mistakes. Dr. Hy, you're (01:35:46) saying Muhammad had mistakes? Yeah. (01:35:49) Yeah. (01:35:53) in (01:35:56) you know the opening ayah says Muhammad (01:35:59) had prior them sins (01:36:03) and later sins I'm not saying that the (01:36:06) Quran says this you're refusing to (01:36:09) accept this that's your problem we go (01:36:12) with what the Quran teaches us so (01:36:15) Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam (01:36:16) received terminology to help him (01:36:19) uh to help him recover from some of the (01:36:22) mistakes. Yeah, of course. (01:36:25) Indeed, he Allah is the granter of (01:36:28) sessation from sins, the merciful. Is (01:36:31) this a lesson just for Muhammad? No. (01:36:33) It's a lesson for all of us. You can (01:36:35) make mistakes, (01:36:37) but Allah is always willing to welcome (01:36:39) you with open arms. You can come back (01:36:42) anytime you want. You can be that Adam. (01:36:45) That's why YT71, by the way, YT71, if (01:36:49) I'm not mistaken, or 72, the title is I (01:36:52) am Adam. Are you too? You can be an (01:36:56) Adam. Yeah, you can be a teacher. Yeah, (01:36:59) you're going to make mistakes, of (01:37:01) course. But Allah will welcome you back (01:37:04) anytime you make the dua and you (01:37:06) reconnect with him sincerely. Sincerely. (01:37:10) After issuing and abandoning any (01:37:14) erroneous knowledge we learned (01:37:17) erroneously learned from the bud and the (01:37:22) are you willing to do this Allah will (01:37:23) receive you he is the merciful one (01:37:28) I hope it's really clear the paragraph (01:37:30) is shining beautifully and giving us all (01:37:33) of these concepts and understanding that (01:37:37) there's no doubt is part of (01:37:42) what gives to Allah his due reverence. (01:37:45) So the last couple of ayat in here I'll (01:37:48) leave you to read it but to confirm that (01:37:50) everything I've said is correct. The (01:37:53) ayah itself is addressing beni is oh (01:37:56) beni is remember the favors upon you and (01:38:01) fulfill my (01:38:03) uh fulfill my um covenant. What is the (01:38:08) covenant to ban Israel? That what I gave (01:38:11) you in the scripture of Musa is not the (01:38:13) last one. There's going to be another (01:38:16) rasool after MS who brings a new (01:38:19) scripture and then you have to switch (01:38:21) over. That is the covenant with them. (01:38:24) Read ayah 381. (01:38:28) I shall fulfill your covenant which is (01:38:30) what? I will bring you out of the (01:38:31) darkness into the new scripture. I will (01:38:34) not leave you behind. I will not waste (01:38:37) your past belief. Well, what about those (01:38:40) who died? We've talked about this. Allah (01:38:42) subhana wa ta'ala will give them ways to (01:38:45) learn from the living earthlings. (01:38:49) Anyway, there are a bunch of warnings in (01:38:51) here, but now it makes sense. The image (01:38:53) is really clear. What they taught us in (01:38:55) the books of Tapsier is wrong clearly, (01:38:58) demonstrabably because it creates (01:39:01) theological disasters. (01:39:04) But this interpretation allows us to (01:39:06) bring out the majesty of the book of (01:39:08) Allah into light by by understanding the (01:39:11) history and it puts us in a driver's (01:39:14) seat so to speak to take to take control (01:39:17) to take charge of our own individual (01:39:19) destiny. (01:39:22) our own individual destiny that's what (01:39:24) matters because no one will we will will (01:39:26) will want or will be with you (01:39:31) when Allah is giving a judgment against (01:39:33) you no one will want to defend you it's (01:39:35) an individual (01:39:38) so if you want to win at that time it's (01:39:41) your decision don't follow the masses (01:39:44) because the masses will often mislead (01:39:47) you (01:39:50) all right (01:39:51) Uh this is this paragraph again. I (01:39:53) encourage you to read it. I encourage (01:39:55) you to get the notes. Let me check on (01:39:57) how we're doing um on YouTube and make (01:40:01) sure that we're all u we're all still uh (01:40:05) uh we're all still uh coming along. Of (01:40:08) course, there are some some people who (01:40:10) are um you know throwing labels at me, (01:40:13) calling me El. That's fine. After all of (01:40:15) the stuff that that I've said, you want (01:40:18) to keep doing this, be my guest. (01:40:22) Um, alhamdulillah, if um I I hope we're (01:40:26) still connected. Can you give me some (01:40:28) sort of indication that we're still (01:40:29) connected, please? There are some (01:40:31) questions in here. Um, (01:40:36) let's see. Shajara, entanglement, (01:40:38) dispute, um, a group of argumentative (01:40:41) people. It's actually a plural form and (01:40:44) it's used in the Quran, (01:40:48) etc., etc. (01:40:52) Uh, I don't want to use Christian crap (01:40:54) because I don't want to uh be offensive (01:40:56) to anyone, but Christian um, you know, (01:40:59) what what what they stuffed in the books (01:41:01) of Tapsier is unfortunately the worst (01:41:05) part of what they learned from the (01:41:07) Christian uh, tradition. (01:41:11) Um, let's see. There's a question in (01:41:14) here. Where and when did this dialogue (01:41:17) among Allah and Adam happen? It's all (01:41:20) theatrical. It's not real. It's not like (01:41:22) Allah had a court and he brought this (01:41:24) group and that group and had a (01:41:26) discussion with them. Not at all. Not at (01:41:28) all. It's all theatrical. And the Quran (01:41:30) does this all over the place. So for (01:41:32) example, the the Malika have have (01:41:35) there's a scene where the Malika are (01:41:36) conversing with Jannam. Does Jannam (01:41:39) speak? Did the Mallaya invite it invite (01:41:41) Jahannam to a (01:41:45) meeting room where they had this (01:41:46) conversation? Of course not. (01:41:50) Anyway, uh here's another question. They (01:41:53) will abide in (01:41:55) but it doesn't stay abaded forever. Does (01:41:59) it mean they will be in the future they (01:42:01) will exit from? (01:42:03) The answer is yes. This has been a (01:42:05) contentious question in our history. (01:42:10) uh among all the scholars by the way and (01:42:12) uh unfortunately they never resolved it (01:42:15) but the answer from the Quran is very (01:42:17) clear (01:42:19) uh sorry anar is only temporary there (01:42:22) will come a time where all mankind will (01:42:24) understand all mankind will understand (01:42:27) when I don't know Allah Allah knows (01:42:30) inshallah we have a small part in (01:42:32) bringing about this sea of change this (01:42:34) what we call the new era of human (01:42:37) understanding inshall we'll go in that (01:42:39) direction and inshallah with your help (01:42:42) with your support for our channel and (01:42:45) for our website we can do a lot more (01:42:48) inshallah. All right, let's go back to (01:42:51) um the notes file and I want to I want (01:42:54) to scan very quickly (01:42:57) the other paragraph I promised you from (01:42:59) surah. Uh I'm almost losing my voice. I (01:43:02) apologize. So I'm going to go very (01:43:04) quick. (01:43:06) So here we have a very similar scene (01:43:09) again. This is uh creating a problem for (01:43:13) a theological problem for many of the (01:43:15) books of Tessier. What was Shaitan doing (01:43:19) in Jenna? So here there's a whole bunch (01:43:22) of um you know dialogue between uh (01:43:26) between various groups and the (01:43:28) paragraphs I'll let you read it but in (01:43:32) in um (01:43:34) in uh ayah 7:13 (01:43:38) Allah addresses (01:43:40) el he said uh descend from it meaning (01:43:44) from the fire from the fire again read (01:43:47) the prior pages and you'll understand (01:43:50) and we've talked about this in YT76 (01:43:53) I think [clears throat] 75 and 76 (01:43:57) and then El said grant me a stay until (01:44:00) the the day they are revivified what (01:44:02) does that mean grant me a stay allow me (01:44:04) to influence them in the wrong direction (01:44:07) remember el is your is your innate (01:44:10) ability to learn the wrong things or to (01:44:13) hold on to the wrong things or to follow (01:44:16) the wrong things okay so el is asking (01:44:19) Allah allow me to stay and Allah granted (01:44:22) him his wish. What does that mean? That (01:44:25) means as long as you as a human being (01:44:27) earthling you're learning you have the (01:44:30) risk of falling prey to yourl your (01:44:35) ownl which comes along with your ability (01:44:38) to learn independently makes perfect (01:44:41) sense. (01:44:43) So Allah granted him that wish. Yeah. (01:44:47) You're going to stay with them until the (01:44:50) time of revivification. What does that (01:44:52) mean, revivification? That means you (01:44:55) regain your connection to Allah. And (01:44:57) we've talked about this, the balance (01:44:59) between rational thinking and divine (01:45:01) guidance. And the Quran refers to this (01:45:03) term asa. (01:45:06) And again, please refer back to the (01:45:07) prior segments where we've talked about (01:45:10) um how Ibraim went through this process. (01:45:13) There's a segment with a funny thumbnail (01:45:15) that says, "I wish that Ibrahim learned (01:45:18) how to ride a bicycle." If you watch (01:45:19) that segment, I can't remember the (01:45:21) number now, but if you watch that (01:45:24) segment, you'll understand exactly what (01:45:26) that balance needs to be between (01:45:28) rational faculty, which really doesn't (01:45:31) lead us to the full truth and the divine (01:45:34) guidance from Allah, which is available (01:45:36) to us if we toil correctly and if we (01:45:38) submit exclusively to Allah. exclusively (01:45:42) to Allah. Not to narrations, not to (01:45:44) reports, not to the tradition. We submit (01:45:48) exclusively to Allah. Allah alone. (01:45:52) So Allah gave him that and then he um he (01:45:56) articulated the strategy and again we (01:45:59) explained all of this in YT747576 (01:46:03) and then Allah subhana wa ta brought him (01:46:05) out of brought him out of um uh the (01:46:10) above vigilance strategy when meaning (01:46:14) those tactics that Elered (01:46:17) shall fail when when despised and (01:46:20) banished Meaning when you start engaging (01:46:23) yourself and being self-critical (01:46:27) and being self uh observing and (01:46:30) self-reflecting and you understand ah I (01:46:34) was attached to something wrong. I was (01:46:37) attached and taught something that's not (01:46:40) correct. In other words, what we call on (01:46:42) this channel, you start emptying your (01:46:43) cup. When you start emptying your cup to (01:46:47) receive fresh divine guidance, fresh (01:46:50) water ma from Allah alone, Allah will (01:46:53) help you andl will have no longer any (01:46:56) influence on you. (01:46:58) It's beautiful, theatrical, (01:47:00) philosophical, (01:47:01) if you want poetic, I don't know, but (01:47:04) it's it's beautiful. (01:47:07) Now, the part that matters to this (01:47:09) segment, the same thing. (01:47:13) Oh Adam, find the source of tranquility. (01:47:16) You along with your counterpart in the (01:47:18) concealed abode of privileges, (01:47:19) understanding and consume you two, both (01:47:22) of you. Again, the dual form of the (01:47:26) imperative verb. (01:47:29) Consume from wherever you will and do (01:47:33) not go neither of you, both of you to (01:47:37) near this argumentative group. Ashara, (01:47:39) who is a again? Benny is who is (01:47:42) attacking us? Those who want to stick to (01:47:45) the understanding from Benny is (01:47:49) they're defending the traditional books (01:47:52) of that are clearly erroneous and that (01:47:56) have yielded major theological (01:47:58) conflicts. (01:48:01) We have people attacking us who want to (01:48:03) defend these books and you saw them on (01:48:05) the chat right now calling me El. (01:48:07) [laughter] (01:48:08) He doesn't he doesn't even understand (01:48:10) the word El. It's really funny. I mean, (01:48:12) they use terms that that they don't even (01:48:14) understand. Anyway, (01:48:17) the ayah that we care about in here (01:48:23) intimated, you know, whispered to them. (01:48:26) What was doing in Jenna? Again, the same (01:48:29) question. So, what I'm trying to show (01:48:31) you is that this is not just a fluke in (01:48:35) one ayah, in one paragraph of surah al (01:48:37) bakar. It is repeated again in surah. In (01:48:42) other words, this this proves two (01:48:44) things. It's not Muhammad who made it (01:48:47) up. It was not a mistake. It is (01:48:49) intentional. Allah subhana wa ta'ala is (01:48:52) trying to draw our attention. Think, (01:48:55) reflect. What is shaitan doing in (01:48:58) paradise? If you define al Jenna as this (01:49:02) paradise after the day of judgment, the (01:49:05) Christian day of judgment, then what is (01:49:07) shaitan doing there? (01:49:10) Intimating and whispering and misguiding (01:49:12) and deluding and tricking and trapping (01:49:16) you in Jenna. What is shaitan doing (01:49:18) there? You know what they said? By the (01:49:20) way, I I gave you several (01:49:22) interpretation. They said, "Oh, oh, no, (01:49:24) wait, wait, wait. The word Jenna here (01:49:26) means just simply a a garden like a you (01:49:28) know a field [clears throat] a backyard (01:49:30) if you want you have behind your house (01:49:32) where you plant a few trees here and (01:49:34) there and you're just sitting in that (01:49:35) backyard. So So Adam was in his (01:49:38) backyard. (01:49:41) This is how little I'm sorry but this is (01:49:43) how small they think. They think the (01:49:45) Quran is talking about somebody's (01:49:47) backyard (01:49:49) where you plant through trees, where you (01:49:50) have, you know, maybe a a a a ravine (01:49:53) running, you know, a brook running (01:49:55) through your backyard, gurgling water, (01:49:58) and you're happy. And that's your Jenna. (01:50:01) Okay. Where do you get this from? Just (01:50:04) made it up. (01:50:06) Why? Because they wanted to get (01:50:08) themselves out of this theological (01:50:11) disaster they created for us. (01:50:14) Why did they create that theological (01:50:16) disaster? Because they want to hold on (01:50:18) to their biblical Islam. (01:50:22) They attack us because we (01:50:26) we take off their clothes. We show we (01:50:28) show their nakedness. We show their (01:50:31) erroneousness. Now you understand (01:50:33) another image, the nakedness of Adam. (01:50:38) All of these imagery, all of these (01:50:40) images are part of the beauty of the (01:50:43) eloquence of the Quran. And they (01:50:45) deprived us of this beauty for over 1400 (01:50:48) years. In the interest of time, I'm (01:50:50) going to let you read this. (01:50:52) But here's a clear clear indication that (01:50:54) they did not understand. By the way, (01:50:58) I that he shared with them and he he (01:51:01) sort of partition as if you're you're (01:51:03) sitting around a a meal and you divide (01:51:05) the dish in half. That's the word, (01:51:08) you know, they they (01:51:10) shaitan and the two meaning Adam and his (01:51:13) counterpart his uh were together and he (01:51:17) shared with them in a way that both win (01:51:20) so to speak. So who are the two groups (01:51:24) who win in our case in our (01:51:26) understanding? (01:51:27) In our understanding, this is a warning (01:51:30) against the followers of Muhammad (01:51:33) sallallahu alaihi wasallam who reneged (01:51:36) and accepted the Christian (01:51:38) interpretation. (01:51:40) Who won? The Umayad won because they (01:51:44) earned the loyalty of the Christians in (01:51:46) Damascus. And who else? The Christians (01:51:49) won because they found in the new Islam (01:51:53) that they preached and they encouraged (01:51:55) through the Umayad, (01:51:57) they found support for their own their (01:52:00) own erroneous theology. (01:52:04) In other words, they defeated the pure (01:52:06) Islam that Muhammad sallallahu alaihi (01:52:07) wasallam and his early companions (01:52:09) understood. (01:52:11) This is what this ayah is teaching us. (01:52:14) History. Yeah, the Quran is giving us (01:52:17) history. Absolutely. But the Quran was (01:52:20) revealed before all of these events (01:52:22) happened. Yeah. The Quran warned the (01:52:24) followers or the the the rejectors of (01:52:27) Muhammad that we shall expose your news, (01:52:30) your information, (01:52:33) we shall expose the news about you. You (01:52:37) mean the Quran was telling us ahead of (01:52:39) time what was going to happen? Yeah, (01:52:41) absolutely. In many different places. (01:52:44) Did Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam (01:52:45) say this? Absolutely. You all know (01:52:48) narrations where Muhammad sallallahu (01:52:49) alaihi wasallam was sitting with his (01:52:51) companions and he looked at his own (01:52:53) companions and he says, (01:52:57) "You shall follow the same ways of those (01:53:00) before you (01:53:04) etc. until if they enter into the lizard (01:53:07) hole, you will follow them into that (01:53:09) hole." And they asked him, the (01:53:12) companions of Muhammad asked him, "Are (01:53:14) you this is [clears throat] very severe, (01:53:16) are you talking about Christians and (01:53:17) Jews?" Muhammad sallallahu alaihi (01:53:19) wasallam answered, "Who else?" (01:53:22) So Muhammad told, "You all know this (01:53:24) narration." Even if some of the super (01:53:26) superstars and the internet preachers (01:53:29) and imam and mufti and you know those (01:53:32) who wear funny hats (01:53:35) don't want to share this news with you (01:53:37) or this information with you. You all (01:53:38) know these narrations exist. Muhammad (01:53:41) warned his followers, don't follow the (01:53:43) Christians and the Jews. (01:53:46) This is what this ayah is saying. (01:53:48) There's going to be an alliance, unholy (01:53:50) alliance between the Umayad from Qur who (01:53:54) were the opponents of Muhammad until the (01:53:56) last two years of his life. So for 21 (01:53:59) years, they were his opponents. I mean (01:54:01) like deadly opponents. They fought with (01:54:03) him. They killed his companions and they (01:54:06) threatened his life. They kicked him out (01:54:08) of his own own home. (01:54:10) Same group took over Islam in the year (01:54:13) 40 Hri and they allied themselves with (01:54:16) the Christians of Damascus. If you don't (01:54:18) know this history, it's your problem. Go (01:54:21) learn. Don't criticize. Don't accuse me (01:54:24) of bringing false information. It's part (01:54:28) of common knowledge. All the schol true (01:54:30) scholars know this. (01:54:33) So anyway, the rest of the (01:54:35) interpretation explain exactly what (01:54:37) Shaitan did. (01:54:39) And again, the only interpretation that (01:54:42) works for this paragraph is to (01:54:44) understand Jenna. The concept of Jenna (01:54:47) is the secret abode of privileged (01:54:49) understanding. Meaning it allows you to (01:54:52) understand better and to connect with (01:54:54) Allah in a beautiful privileged manner. (01:54:57) Yes. Are you at risk in this life to (01:55:00) lose that state of Jenna? The answer is (01:55:03) yes. So are you at risk of falling prey (01:55:06) to shaitan if you misbehave? If you (01:55:09) follow the ways of shaitan that cuts you (01:55:12) off from the divine guidance. This (01:55:15) paragraph makes perfect sense. (01:55:18) Again, I'll let you read it. I put it (01:55:20) there for completion for for making sure (01:55:23) that you understand. We do full (01:55:25) research, full due diligence. We don't (01:55:28) leave things up to guesswork. It's not a (01:55:31) personal opinion. Alhamdulillah. It (01:55:33) makes perfect sense and it fits (01:55:35) beautifully and it ascribes to Allah his (01:55:38) due reverence. (01:55:40) Now this is the warning here Adam. Oh (01:55:44) followers of Adam. Remember who is Adam (01:55:46) in this case? Again Muhammad as I (01:55:49) explained sallallahu alaihi wasallam. (01:55:51) Muhammad is talked about in this ayat. (01:55:55) Let not shaitan afflict you in the same (01:55:57) way as he caused your two forefathers to (01:56:00) come out of Jenna. Who are the two (01:56:02) forefathers? Well, Adam (01:56:05) or other prior prior predecessors in (01:56:09) general (01:56:11) and their counter their counterparts (01:56:14) their counterparts meaning the the thel (01:56:17) for each one of them. Okay. When he (01:56:19) succeeded in removing from their garbs, (01:56:23) he he (01:56:25) denuded them. He caused them to appear (01:56:28) without clothes. Basically, basically he (01:56:31) he removed any protection (01:56:34) that would keep them in Jenna. (01:56:38) So, Shaitan does that to you even if you (01:56:40) have received direct guidance from (01:56:42) Allah. Absolutely. So, in closing, what (01:56:44) is the main lesson that we are left (01:56:47) with? The main lesson that we're left (01:56:49) with is don't take Allah for granted. (01:56:52) You may get to a point where you connect (01:56:54) with Allah. Alhamdulillah. (01:56:57) Make sure you understand that this is a (01:56:58) gift from Allah. This is a favor from (01:57:00) Allah. But don't take it for granted. (01:57:04) You're not going to be there forever. (01:57:06) There's no guarantee. So Jenna, as we (01:57:09) learned from this segment, and this is (01:57:11) probably the most important takeaway, (01:57:14) don't think that you're always going to (01:57:17) remain there. Guaranteed no one no one (01:57:19) is going to give you cart blanch. You (01:57:21) have to toil. You have to keep working. (01:57:23) You have to keep studying. You have to (01:57:25) keep questioning whether or not you're (01:57:27) falling prey to shaitan. (01:57:30) What do we learn from this? How do we (01:57:32) apply this? Well, you have to learn (01:57:34) whether or not some of what you learned, (01:57:37) sorry, you have to question whether or (01:57:39) not some of what you learned may be (01:57:41) erroneous. (01:57:43) So to my brothers and sisters who are (01:57:45) watching this segment, (01:57:47) make it a habit to always ask question. (01:57:50) How do we know what they taught us is (01:57:53) correct? (01:57:54) How can we ensure that we're not (01:57:57) attached? We're not taking as a (01:57:59) counterpart as a zo something erroneous. (01:58:03) How do we make sure thatl is not (01:58:06) deluding us into thinking we are upon (01:58:09) the right path? You don't ask these (01:58:12) questions, you're taking Allah for (01:58:14) granted. (01:58:16) You may become subject to shaitan as we (01:58:19) saw in these paragraphs. (01:58:22) Is this the lesson of these two (01:58:24) paragraphs? This is a major lesson. In (01:58:26) addition to the historical facts that we (01:58:29) saw in addition to the history of of the (01:58:32) prior scripture, in addition to the (01:58:34) warning about Ashara and Alah, all of (01:58:37) these lessons are part of these two (01:58:39) paragraphs. Very very rich short (01:58:42) paragraphs, but very rich and full of (01:58:45) divine guidance from Allah subhana wa (01:58:47) ta'ala. This is how the Quran is to be (01:58:50) engaged. If this segment left you with (01:58:54) this sweetness in your heart, please (01:58:56) write to me. I would like to hear from (01:58:58) you. I'd like to know that these (01:59:00) segments are connecting with you. That (01:59:03) this knowledge is actually helping you (01:59:06) come close or get closer to the words of (01:59:09) Allah and to the Quran. (01:59:11) I hope the answer is yes. Please write (01:59:14) to us in the comment. We'd like to hear (01:59:15) from you. At a minimum, tell us where (01:59:18) you're watching from and help us with (01:59:20) the algorithm because the comments uh (01:59:23) help the algorithm promote the segment (01:59:25) to many many other people. (01:59:27) Alhamdulillah, we have covered quite a (01:59:29) bit and we have um (01:59:33) inshallah delivered a good value for (01:59:35) you. I will leave you with a dua that we (01:59:37) always make. (01:59:42) Alhamdulillah. (01:59:50) Thank you so much for watching.
