In the hope that Allah has a continuation in the previous night where we started to talk about the Holy Qur'an and the true manifestations of the Holy Qur'an In which we discussed that we can't have the Qur'an by itself without people to translate it for us عشان الأوعي went took examples from history In previous years in the years in which our imams until the eleventh Imam lived And we took examples of how religion And how Quran has been misinterpreted But let's look at it on 21st Century In Sha Allah that's what we want to start off tonight how in the 21st century there is a misinterpretations of the Quran كيف يجب أن تصميم هذه المساعدة؟ وإن شاء الله من then we want to move on to how we can take into our lives as discussed yesterday how we can take the manifestations of the Holy Qur'an the people that actually understand and have the knowledge and the depth in the Qur'an and apply it to our lives I want to look at a very simple example it's very detailed, very simple but it's very profound because we may look into ourselves and we can be one of the people that I will be mentioning إن شاء الله tonight so pay close attention within the limited time that we have for tonight and tomorrow إن شاء الله will be the concluding night that I have been blessed to be on this pulpit إن شاء الله serving the Ahlul Bayt so please help me in starting tonight's topic by reciting all our salawat yesterday we discussed how the Khulafa of old taking to perspective particular verses from the Holy Qur'an and how in many occasions it could not derive the correct meanings from the Holy Qur'an now in that being said someone came forth and may ask that how is it that someone may come and say that this may apply in the 21st century but we have so much sciences nowadays we have so much knowledge nowadays we have so much advances nowadays 1400 years ago maybe the Khulafa didn't have these advancements maybe they didn't have these knowledge I want to give you an example of one particular person in an aspect that you might think to yourself or overlook that it's such an obvious thing but people nowadays in other schools of thought they call themselves Muslim in other schools of thought taking the perspective we all unanimously whether it be in a scientific level or a religious level we all come to a conclusion that the earth is round can anyone here say that the earth is not round no one comes forth and says the earth is not round now in history people have said amongst many timelines that the earth was originally flat but now it comes to our attention and throughout history it became clearer and clearer as the advancement happened that the earth is actually round that the earth is not the center of the universe however until nowadays a person that died only a couple of years ago I honestly don't want to even mention his name because his pulpit is sacred in itself so I don't want to mention his name from the pulpit but everyone knows him very well he says anyone that doesn't believe he says whoever doesn't believe the earth is flat is a kafir excuse me he says yes anyone that doesn't believe the earth is flat is a kafir how did you come to that conclusion he says the Quran nowadays even after that person passed away the person now he says our great scholars our great scholars believe that the earth was flat and still is and anyone says otherwise we shouldn't even take their perspective and they're an infidel that's what happens when you don't have the correct translation of the Quran that's what you have when people come forth and deliver and think whatever they think about the Quran this person look at because they say don't attack us without knowledge we have our knowledge let's look at their knowledge look at what they say how they try to back up their arguments from the Quran one of the backing they say they say we believe the earth is flat why he says well you can imagine we fly and he was in Saudi Arabia he says if we fly from here go towards China he says if the earth is flat it's easy we can go up we can go we can land in China he says but everyone says that the earth is rotating he says if we go towards China and the earth is rotating we'll never reach China and you think to yourself how on earth did these people come into a particular position of power how did they even like you tell a child nowadays a 5 year old child to tell them this particular perspective and they say no well obviously this makes more sense what else what else it says in the holy Quran he says that if Allah wants to bring down his punishment from the 7th sky it will fall on the Ka'ba and this is the delil from the Quran this is how we have the Quran as being misinterpreted by these people it says Allah says in the Quran if the punishment will fall it will fall on the Ka'ba what was this person's argument he says if the earth wasn't flat and it's rotating if the punishment falls it will fall on the sea or fall somewhere else within the mainland it won't fall on the Ka'ba these are actual arguments that they bring forth this is what happens when people don't know how to translate the holy Quran this is what happens when people don't hold on to the tree manifestation of the Quran which is Muhammad and Ali Muhammad the problem is they have such certainty such certainty what did we say in the first nights in Ramadan the only difference and one of the main differences between the school of Ahl al-Bayt and the خارجي in schools of thought the schools of thought that say don't question anything whereas the school of Islam the school of Ahl al-Bayt the Jafari school of thought what does it say it says make sure you know that knowledge that you gain where it's coming from make sure you know that knowledge who said that particular line that quote where is it originating it from isn't it originating from the school of thought of Ahl al-Bayt is this manifestation of knowledge coming from the Ahl al-Bayt or is it coming from their enemies
