 وأقول في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزاله وأقول قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي ولا أتأوله الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وأشد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له وأشد أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد وإن شرح في الكتاب أخلاقه وحملت القرآن رتن باي The Great Imam أبو بكر محمد بن الحسين الأجرير رحمه الله We are up with the oath رحمه الله said وإذا سمع من غيرهم أحسن استمعه إذا سمع من غيرهم القرآن They perfect and they are good in their listening ثم وعدهم على ذلك التواب الجزيل فله الحمد And Allah سبحانه وتعالى has promised them a great reward if they do so and praises to him سبحانه وتعالى Listening to the Qur'an as I mentioned in our previous episode or our previous lesson is one of the ways in which you can benefit from the Qur'an And it's one of the three methods or the three approaches in how the Qur'an can affect your life and change your life وذلك الشيخ الإسلامي بن مطيميا he said فاستمعوا آيات الله Listening to the verse of Allah سبحانه وتعالى Listening to it واتزكي بها I'm purifying yourself with it أمر واجب على كل أحد is an obligatory thing on everybody فإنه لا بد لكل عبد من سماع رسالة Because it is necessary for every slave Every individual on this earth He will listen to من سماع رسالة سيدي If a message was to come to him from his master اللتي أرسل بها رسوله إليه Every single person He must listen to The message that has come to him from his master الله سبحانه وتعالى And everybody will do that If a king was to send you a letter today And you didn't understand what was written in it You would take it to someone who can translate it to you And when that translator explains it to you You will listen to it attentively Because this letter came from a leader A king Someone high Then what do you think about الله سبحانه وتعالى The Quran came from him In it Is the good of this world And they hear after for you And you don't want to understand it That's a clay cart contradiction ثم أعلم خلقه أن من تل القرآن واراد به متاجرة مولاه الكريم فإنه يربحه الربح الذي لا بعده ربح ويعرف بركة المتاجرة في الدنيا والآخرة The author then says ثم أعلم خلقه الله informed his creation أن من تل القرآن The one who recites the Quran واراد به متاجرة مولاه الكريم And once from the Quran For it to be a means to trade with الله سبحانه وتعالى The person who wants to do متاجرة To trade with الله سبحانه وتعالى فإنه يربحه الربح الذي لا بعده ربح That person will succeed in that trade with Allah A success There is no success after it ويعرفه بركة المتاجرة في الدنيا والآخرة And Allah will allow you to understand And to know the blessing of that trading That you have done in this world and in hereafter قال أبو بكر يعني محمد بن الحسين الأجر You said جميع ما ذكرته Everything I just mentioned وما سأذكره And everything I'm going to mention in the future إن شاء الله the author says بيانه في كتاب الله تعالى All of it The evidences for it are in the Quran في كتاب الله تعالى وفي سنة رسوله And it's also found in the prophet ومن قول صحابتي And in the statement of the companions رضي الله تعالى عنهم وسائر العلماء And also the remaining other scholars يعني وقال إمام الأدوريو Is trying to say here is that Everything he's going to say And everything he's going to put out forward He's taking it from the Quran He's taking it from the sunnah And he's taking it from the companions And the rightly guided righteous people The noble علماء He's taking it from their statement And I've mentioned this in the introduction That the author, رحم الله His book That's how it is The Quran Sunnah صحابة تابعين تابعين العلماء He quotes them a lot وانا أذكروا منه ما حضرني ذكروا And the author then says I'm going to mention Whatever comes to my mind إن شاء الله This book is filled with evidences As we're going to see It's filled with what? Evidences From the Quran From the sunnah And from the early noble scholars Now brothers and sisters These teachers are a very important lesson Which is our religion Our being It's not taken from Our rational mind How we think and how we feel And it just feels good I like this So it must be right No What is right And what is wrong in the religion Is not determined by the rational mind And it's not determined By our desires And what we feel is good Nor is it based upon The desires and the whims of other people What is right And what is wrong in the religion Is taken from the two main sources The Quran And the sunnah And the Quran and the sunnah My beloved brothers and sisters It requires understanding It needs comprehension Right? It needs to read the Quran And it needs to understand it The sunnah needs understanding So whose understanding do we take From the Quran and the sunnah Whose comprehension do we take We take the understanding of the Sahabahs And the students of the Sahabahs And the students of the students of the Sahabahs That's the That's where we take our understanding from And Imam Al-Adjuru He's doing nothing but Showing you that Your religion should be like that Whatever you say Show us the evidence from the Quran Whatever you say Show it to us from the sunnah Whatever you say Show it to us from the companions Or show it to us From the remaining scholars The author then says والله الموفق في دالك Allah is the one who is able to give me the ability So may he give me the ability to do this The author now brings the evidences For all of the things that he mentioned Everything he said That we were talking about The author now He goes through all of the evidences for it He says Now he's going to bring evidence For the last statement that he said Which is Anyone who reads the Quran And when he reads the Quran He's aim and objective In reading the Quran Is that he wants to trade with Allah This is for him This recitation Is a mutajara He's trading with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala And He wants that That that trading is going to be successful And prosperous So the author He wants to prove That if you trade with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala In this Quran that you're reciting And that's your intent and objective That you don't need to worry That this trading is going to be a successful trading Prosperous trading Now he's going to bring the evidence for that He says قال الله عز و جل الله تبارك وتعالى He said إن الذين are the ones يتلون كتاب الله Now he's going to bring the evidence The ones Who recite the book of Allah By the way This verse Is called And it's referred to As آية القرار آية آية القرار The ayah of the Qur'an If someone asks you What is the ayah of the Qur'an You say إن الذين يتلون كتاب الله This verse is called آية القرار It is for the Qur'an People who recite the Qur'an How does it speak to them We'll see insha'Allah إن الذين are very leader ones يتلون who recite Brothers and sisters The reciting of the Qur'an Is in two ways There is the recitation Of its wordings And there is also the تلاوة of implementing it This is important You understand this إن الذين يتلون يتلون that تلاوة is two ways تلاوة to al-fadi It is to read And recite the wordings And there is also the تلاوة which is The implementation And the meaning of these verses You take it in and you implement it The ayah is referring to both The ones who recite the Qur'an By making sure that They pronounce it correctly They read it right They don't do mistakes When they are reading the verse They don't Because some of the mistakes That can be done While reading the Qur'an It can change and alter the meaning There are mistakes In the Qur'an Which are very heavy mistakes And these mistakes Which are heavy They alter the meaning They change the meaning They make it something different Like some people When they read They can't say it And so they say And that changes the meaning You see And if that changes The meaning Then your Salah is incorrect Because فاتحة is a pillar Of the Salah And you just recited فاتحة incorrectly And there are mistakes That some people do When they recite سورة الفاتحة Those mistakes are not jelly They're not heavy mistakes So since it's not heavy mistakes It doesn't change the meaning Nor does it alter the meaning Then it is And the Salah is still correct But why would you pray a Salah Which your فاتحة is Even wrong So إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ They are people Who when they recite the Qur'an They recite it correctly Also إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَتْلُونَ also means They act according To what is in the Qur'an They implemented So you don't become يحفظون حروفة You're memorizing the wordings You're memorizing the letters Not one letter drops لكن ويضيع حدودة But then you forsake The boundaries that were set by it The حروف is intact But the حدود is forsaken The boundaries that the Qur'an has set for you Here you are Smoking Lying Cheating Nothing From the Qur'an is implementing on you You're reciting May Allah's curse be upon the oppressors And the wrongdoers And you are from the oppressors You've repressed so many people You've slundered so many people You've backbited so many people And you are here reciting But you're reading it perfectly You're pronouncing it perfectly Your utterance And your articulation of the letters And where it comes from It's so perfect But the meaning You're not implementing it So that's what it means إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَتْلُونَ كِتابَ اللَّهِ The ones who recite the book of Allah They read its wordings And they act upon it Is what it's meant by They read the wordings And they act upon it وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاتَا And they establish the prayer So the first thing is They recite the Qur'an إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أَاتَيْنَهُمُ الْكِتابَا يَتْلُونَهُ حَقَّةِ لَاوَتِهِ The ones that we have given them the book They recite the Qur'an The way it deserves to be recited وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاتَا And they establish the prayer This shows that the Qur'an And the Salah Are very close The bond between the two is close Okay وَلِدَارِكَ شَيْخُوا الْسَامِينَ تَيْمِسَنِنِ إِنَّ الْكِتابَ الْعُبُودِينَ فَالْتِباعُ الْكِتابِ يَتَنَاوَلُ الصَّلَاتِ وَغَيْرِهَا Following the book يعني the Qur'an It means that you establish the prayer And you come with the prayer That's what it means وَلَكِنْ خَصَّهَا بِذِكْرِي لِمَزِيَتِهَا But it's not just only the Salah But every other act that is obedience But the reason why the Salah was mentioned specifically here I'm not fasting I'm not Zakat I'm not Hajj The reason is because Salah has that extra thing Over the rest of them شكراً سامتي وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاتَا The word وَأَقَامُوا is different وَأَدَاءُوا أداء and إقامة are two different things أداء and إقامة The difference between is أداء is when you just do it You do an act That's it إقامة is when you do it in a perfect manner You do it correctly You do it the way that it was needed for you That's what Allah says وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاتَا They establish the prayer وَأَنفَقُوا and they give مِمَّا رَزَقْنَا هُمْ سِرًّا وَعَلَانِيًا They give privately and they give it publicly Pay attention here What we take from here is They are giving privately and they are giving publicly This shows us that the people who love the Quran The Qur'an The people who study the Qur'an They should be at the forefront when it comes to giving Salah Some people understand that the Qarihi Every money should only be given to them For example our culture Back home in Somalia The people who are on the religion Always are on the receiving end They are only given And they are not giving Or this characteristic of giving They are like no, no, I don't give No The ayah is teaching us that the Qur'an The people know the Qur'an Have studied the Qur'an Memorized the Qur'an Who are living by what the Qur'an said They give مِمَّا رَزَقْنَا هُمْ سِرًّا وَعَلَانِيًا They give privately and publicly Allah then says You are doing what they hope تِجَارَةَ الَّنْتَبُورِ These people are in a trading with Allah And the trading that they are with They are with Allah And the trading that they are doing With Allah is successful تِجَارَةُ الَّنْتَبُورِ This trading never will be bankrupt How will it be bankrupt The one they are doing it with is Allah Allah then says لِيُوَفِّيَهُمْ أُجُورَهُمْ وَيَزِيدَهُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ إنَّهُ غَفُورٌ شَقُورِ لِيُوَفِّيَهُمْ So Allah can give them reward And we pay them back For their good They established a Salah They gave from their wealth privately and publicly Okay They are living by the Quran They are establishing its wordings They are establishing its implementation They are righteous people These people Allah tells us two things That He is going to give them Pay attention here Many people haven't pointed over this point Allah says لِيُوَفِّيَهُمْ أُجُورَهُمْ وَيَوَفِّيَهُمْ أُجُورَهُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ Every act that we do There are ten rewards in it الحسنة بعشر أمتارها Every act that we do There are ten rewards in it Okay One reward Is equivalent to the good that you did And that is what it's meant by لِيُوَفِّيَهُمْ أُجُورَهُمْ You recited the Quran correctly You implemented a verse You prayed the Salah You gave Sadaqah You, your act One reward is given to you وَيَزِيدَهُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِهِنَ مِنْ Nine extra is added out for you Are we all together? And some of the rewayat mentioned That the reward can actually be multiplied Up to 700 إلى 700 Up to 700 Then that means الله تعالى The good that you did One reward is equivalent to it Even though it's never equivalent to it One reward And then the 699 is وَيَزِيدَهُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِهِنْ It's extra bonus That shows you how kind and generous الله تعالى is إنه الله تعالى is what غفورون when that forgives Why did Allah use these two characteristics إنه غفورون and شقور The reason why he forgives is And the reason why he is شقور is غفورون means When you come with that act Read in the Quran Pray in the Salah Or give it from your wealth Generally humans don't come with it Properly There is always a deficiency here or there Allah says I forgive that And شقورون means what شقورون means الله سبحانه وتعالى He increases And he multiplies for you The act that you did Not only does he forgive you For the shortcomings that you've come with When you came with it But he multiplies it for you Up to 700 سبحانه وتعالى The author of the إنه هذا القرآن يهدي للتي هي أقومه ويبشر المؤمنين الذين يعملون الصالحات أن لهم أجرا كبيرة وأن الذين لا يؤمنون بالآخرة عتدنا لهم عذاباً أليما إنه هذا القرآن يهدي This Quran guides And what does it guide us To my beloved brothers and sisters للتي هي أقومه To the best of affairs ويبشر And the Quran gives glad tidings To who المؤمنين are the believers Which believers الذين يعملون الصالحات The ones that are doing righteous actions It's a glad tidings for them What is the glad tidings That they are going to get أن لهم أجرا كبيرة That for them Is a great reward A great reward وأن الذين أصد القرآن What does it tell us وأن الذين لا يؤمنون بالآخرة And the ones who don't believe In the hereafter And they don't believe That they are going to meet Allah The day of judgment أعتدنا لهم The Quran informs us That Allah has prepared for them وعتدنا لهم We have prepared for them عذاباً A punishment أليماً Which is severe يعني إذا ألي Means يؤلموا That's severe That hurts them This ayah as I mentioned The great Mufassir The great scholar العلمة محمد الأمين وشانقيطي Has written a real Detailed discussion regarding I've already mentioned this He has written سبحان الله So much around this disverse محمد الأمين وشانقيطي And rather If you go to the books of Tafsir You will not find Anyone Who has spoken about this disverse The way that العلمة محمد الأمين وشانقيطي He proves that this ayah Is so valid And it's correct Insane that the Quran Guides us to the best of affairs In all of our issues And he went in So I encourage you all To go to the Kitab أبواء البيان في إضاح القرآن بالقرآن And this verse By itself brothers and sisters Can refute a lot Of the arguments that come From the non-Muslims And the orientalists And this verse Will debunk their arguments And refute their claims You see There's another great scholar Another great scholar الشيخ عبد العزيز سليمان He has written A Kitab called البرحان المحكم بأن القرآن يهدي للتي هي أقوى يعني The same verse إن هذا القرآن يهدي للتي هي أقوى ويبشروا المؤمنين الذين يعملون الصالحة حتى أن لهم أجرا كبيرة That verse by itself He has written a book on it as well What he did was He brought 2000 And 800 Ways at the Quran Guides us to the best of affairs In a book that is 588 pages So if you read that book Which is also called الأنوار الصاطعات لآيات الجامعات Same book Just called these two names If you read that book And the Kitab written by العلمة محمد الأمين شانقيطيو Many of the questions that Non-Muslims bring forward Such as بلجمي in Islam And men are better than women And inheritance And slavery Okay And how the Quran is complete And it hasn't been changed And distorted And the good and the bad That is in the Quran What not The author العلمة محمد الأمين شانقيطيو And the author of the Kitab المحكم في أن القرآن يهدي ليلة هي أقوى If you read those two books A lot of the arguments Will be settled for you You would find Your lost property there وقال الله عز و جل The author then brings the other statement of Allah Which is وننزل من القرآن We have sent down from the Quran And we sent down the Quran Sorry We have sent down the Quran ما هو شفاء And cure from the Quran ورحمة And a Masih للمؤمنين For the believers ولا يزيدوا الظالمين That the Quran does not increase to your presses And the wrongdoers إلا خسارة This Quran is a cure وننزل من القرآن I told you this before That the word من القرآن هي لا تبعضية It's not a cure That some of the Quran is a cure And the rest is not a cure No, that's not what it means This is بيانو للجنس And علامة محمد علامة ابن القيم Mentioned in this Kitab That was the one You can find it there And also the ayimah Of the language So this Quran is a cure The Quran is a what? It's a cure But what is it a cure For my beloved brothers and sisters? It is a cure For the illnesses of The heart As we're going to see in the next ayah يَا يَا يَا نَاسُوا قَدِ جَاءَتْكُمَ أُعِذَتُمِ الْرَبِّقُمْ وَشِيْفَأُولِي مَا فِسْتُدُورَ The Quran is a cure For the illnesses of the heart And what are the illnesses Of the heart that we see? مَا رَضُوا شُبُوا هَاتَ وَمَا رَضُوا شَهَوَاتَ The illnesses Which bring about doubts And the illnesses Which bring about desires The Quran, what does it do? It kills those two illnesses مَرَضُوا شُبُوا هَاتَ مَرَضُوا شُبُوا هَاتَ Which is the illnesses That bring about doubts Brings doubts to what? To the aqeed of the person If you read the Quran The Quran will solve that problem And you will not have aqeed related problems And you will not start believing Does God even actually exist? Or if God did exist Then who created God? And these questions that people generally ask The Quran has the answers there If you look at the Quran The Quran answers that for you Also مَرَضُوا شَهَوَاتَ The desires that's burning inside us The Quran has the cures for it And how to overcome that The Quran is a cure for that The author then wrote the ayah And also, sorry The ayah وَنُنَزِلُ مِنَ الْقُرْانِ مَا هُوَا شِفَاءٌ وَنُنَنَزِلُ مِنَ الْقُرْانِ مَا هُوَا شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةُ لِلْمُؤِنِينَ وَلَا يَزِيدُوا ظالِمِينَ إِلَّا خَسَارًا The Quran only increases for the disbelievers And the misguidance And destruction Because they don't want to listen to the Quran And the more that they try to avoid listening to the Quran The more the punishment is increased for them And the more they are lost So the Quran increases for them What? خَسَارًا The author then brings the ayah يا أيها الناس To all people قد جاءتكم معظة A reminder has come to you What does a معظة mean? معظة means بيان الحكومي مقرونا بالتغيب والتغيب A معظة is when you want to tell a ruling to a person But the way that you do it Is by telling them Things that will encourage them And also telling them Things that will place fear in their hearts If they don't do so That's what a معظة is What it is when you want to bring a ruling to a person But you say it In a manner of placing hope And fear in the person Okay, that's how you do it That's called وعب So معظة وعب, that's what it means So the Quran is a معظة It gives وعب and reminders وشفاءون وان it's a cure لما في السدوري For whatever is in the hearts وهودن And the Quran is a guidance And I mentioned this before The Quran guides to beneficial knowledge And righteous action ورحمة And the Quran is a mercy يعني once you come with a beneficial knowledge And the righteous actions The Quran will what? It tells you that The mercy that's for you Okay, the mercy that's for you The day of judgment The author رحمة الله He mentions قوله تعالى The statement of Allah يا أيها الناس Oh people قد جاءكم برحان من ربكم It has come to you A light from your Lord من ربكم So the word برحان Here means ضياء I'm a ضياء Light has come to you from your Lord Why is it referred to as light? Because When the people are in darknesses In this world The Quran shows you everything ولي ذلك The disbelievers And the wrongdoers And the criminals الله تعالى Tell us that they are in darknesses They can't see Whereas the believer can see everything That's why he's saying to the non-Muslim Can you not see this? They can't see anything What you are saying to them Makes no sense to them They are like a cup That's upside down And somebody is trying to pour water into it They can't hear They are blind They are dumb And they are deaf They can't hear They can't see And they don't understand I will stop there بارك الله و فيكم For listening Anything which I have said That was wrong or incorrect Is from me and Shaytan And Allah and his messenger Are free from it سبحانك الله و بحمدك أشهد والله إلهي لله أستغفرواك وأتوبوا لي
