 Salatu wa salamu ala Muhammadin wa ala hi al-tayyibin al-taherin. Dear viewers, As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. It's an honor to be amongst you and amongst the teachings of Quran and I'll wait a while for them to say, insha'Allah together we can take as much as possible and as we can asking Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to widen our perspective and to widen our hearts and open our hearts to the knowledge of Quran and Ahlul Bayt, alayhum salam. In the previous episode, we reached to the point of when was the Holy Quran compiled based on the names of the Surat al-Hamd, which one was Fatiha tul Kitab. As we discussed, despite what is well known and it's a rumor that has been passed around that Quran was compiled during the time of Uthman and he was the one who compiled the Holy Quran. It's not true. According to the teachings of Ahlul Bayt, alayhum salam, that has reached us again, it was during the time of the Holy Prophet, where Rasulullah Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi taught and told Amir al-Mu'minin, the commander of the faithful, where should each chapter be? Where should each verse be? And it was as a book, it came as a book during the time of Rasulullah, where we see when Eid al Ghadir, Eid al Ghadir happened, Rasulullah states, Al-Ni Tarekun Fikum Uthakalain, Uthakalain, Kitab Allah Wa Atrati Ahlul Bayt. If it wasn't a book, Rasulullah won't say Kitab. Kitab, as we mentioned within the previous episode, Kitab means something that has two covers and has pages in the middle. This is called Kitab. If it was a leaflet, if it was skins written and pages here and there, it wouldn't be called Kitab. And this chapter wouldn't be called by Ahlul Bayt, alayhum salam, by Rasulullah as Fatahatul Kitab or Umul Kitab, the mother of the book or the one Fatahatul Kitab that is the beginning of the book. Also, how can it be that Rasulullah Ashraf ul-Makhluqat, the best creation of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, which he thought and he thought and paid attention to every small little detail, every small little detail that is within his lifespan that he mentioned and he discussed it. Will he leave this important task, the task of bringing the Quran together? Of course not. This is part of our belief as the Shi'a of Ahlul Bayt, alayhum salam, that the book was compiled during the time of the Prophet because, always, and through a couple of Ahadith where Rasulullah said, I want to make sure this book comes together as one book, these pages of Quran, and he ordered Amir Mu'mineen to put it together and he was on top of Amir Mu'mineen teaching him where to put the verses of Quran and it captures, it captures. He says, because I don't want what happens to the Torah and injeel, to other books. And I want people to be misguided to say, oh, this was part of the Quran or this was not part of the Quran. We believe that the Quran that we have amongst us, us as the 12 words, according to the narrations of Ahlul Bayt, alayhum salam, is the same Quran and the same sequence and order that was put together at the time of the commander of the faithful, Amir Mu'mineen, Ali ibn Abi Talab, alayh salam. So one might ask, then why the rumor is so out that it was compiled during the time of Uthman or Mu'awiyah and so on and so forth because they tried to bring virtues and fadile for those people. Not having any virtues themselves. They tried to bring them as a virtue that, okay, he was the one who put the Quran together. This is a very high virtue. So we summarize it and there's a discussion, a lot of discussion that can be get into about the timing and what happened and so on and so forth, but I'm giving you, based on our time, the general ideas to your hand. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. We start after the previous episode, Bismillahirrahmanirrahim to be the first, the first verse of the Holy Quran. And it is part of the Surah, but it is separate verse. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Alhamdulillah, Malika yawm al-Din. Iyaka na'budu wa iyaka nasta'een. Ehdena sarata al-mustaqeen. Sarata la dina an'amta alayhim wa la dina. Seven verses. Seven verses, if you remember, we read, wa laqad a'ataynaka, seven verses. So for Bismillah, to be the first verse of the Holy Quran and every chapter, except Surah Al-Bara'a, begins with the first verse to be Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. So that becomes to 113, Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala replaced that Bismillah, which is not at the beginning of Surah al-Bara'a in the other verse where the letter that Prophet Sulaiman wrote for the Queen of Saba, he wrote in it, Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. So that's another verse within the Holy Quran. To make it 114 times, this verse has been repeated within the Holy Quran. Very important, let's get a little bit more practical. Every nation would start their endeavor, their most important task by the name of someone, by the name of something, and they dedicate that most important task or affair or endeavor to someone. During the time of Jahlia, for example, they would dedicate and they would remember and they would bring the names Gubal, Uzad, two, three different most important idols that existed in Ka'bah. Within the religion of Islam, we have Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. The Rahul Bayt, have emphasized so much and there are numerous narrations where they said, everything that you want to start, make sure you start with Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Why? You know, living in the west, these examples are very obvious to you. Every company has a slogan, every company has a branding logo and has a theme. It has this theme and logo and branding. Everything comes under this logo, under this theme, under this motto, under this slogan, everything comes under this. By bringing Bismillahirrahmanirrahim to our lives, we are making everything that we do to have the color, to have the brand, to have the title and the slogan of Divine Name of Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, by the Name of Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, in the Name of Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, the beneficent, the merciful, I start every task. Every task, that brings us to an action plan. Everything that we do, everything, I mean everything, the action plan will be for us to start slowly, slowly, get to use, get the habit of saying Bismillahirrahmanirrahim and start it. What is the benefit? What is the benefit if we starts with Bismillahirrahmanirrahim? Who reads it? He says, Bismillahirrahmanirrahim Allah has written to him in every letter four thousand letters. When we read Bismillahirrahmanirrahim for every words, every alphabet, which is nineteen alphabets, which is Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, Allah will write us four thousand letters. And he will remove and delete four thousand sins with every word within Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. And Allah will elevate us four thousand levels for every word within Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. What other blessings do we need? He says, another Hadith, that Hadith was in Tafsir al-Burhan. Another Hadith, and also in Tafsir al-Burhan. What Imam says, If the servant wants to read or do a work, a servant of Allah, when he wants to read something, or do something, he says, Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, I start this work, I start this recitation, I start this reading, with Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. If we start everything that we do, every task that we undertake, every action, everything that we do, we start by the name of Allah will be blessed. This act will be a blessed. This task will be blessed. This reading will be blessed. We wake up in the morning as soon as we wake up. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, I want to go to the bathroom Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, take a shower, Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, set for breakfast Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, everywhere, leaving work, eating lunch, eating dinner Everything we mean everything that we do if we want the blessing of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to be in this action We should start Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem. Narration says When I say Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem, I am getting a Characteristic and actually with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. What? What would be the idea? Miss a lot of love I am worshiping I am becoming good servant of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala But I'll fuck all of them ma ma assima Call it a lot of my branding. It's becoming divine I am doing everything based on the teachings of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Rasulallah alaykum as-salam Respect respect me Everything that I do I start with Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem Everything that I do it will be Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem. This is very very very important action plan that we have to keep in mind very important Why so what is the benefit again as if you remember if we discussed about Awadab Allah minna shaytan ar-rajim Awadab Allah minna shaytan ar-rajim not only saying it verbally no believing that we need to seek protection of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. We should feel the danger of shaytan that he's trying to deviate us any way possible Saying Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem. Number one we're bringing the blessing of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to our task Removing shaytan from this task. We bring the name of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala There's no more space for shaytan when we mentioned the name of Allah Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem. Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem in everything that we do So when Allah is there I Need to think of it. I Brought Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala into my task by mentioning his name Not that Allah is not there if I mention it I don't mean it when Allah is not there when I say Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem Allah comes to my task No, I'm blessing my task by remembering Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and thinking that Allah this task that I'm doing Insha Allah getting it's it's getting me closer to you So when I say Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem I have to make sure the task and the job that I'm taking. I won't I Won't take it Silly I Won't pay attention to it. I will just do some sloppy job and I just try to finish it I say Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem I'll give you an example anything that we do. We must do our best in it. We must perfect whatever we do I'll give you shawla story and I will conclude one day Rasulullah Muhammad sallallahu alaihu ala He he was burying someone within the grave He himself went to the grave and he buried a believer and then they gave him these stones One after one after one. There are like square a rectangle Piece of blocks they give and they put it on top of the grave and then they Cover it with the soil and a dirt Rasulullah placed all these blocks and after these blocks comes the dirt Rasulullah was you know when you put the blocks the blocks didn't come exactly next to one another Edge to edge there were places that were empty and they were holes Rasulullah with his own index finger. He was Completely going around the corner and make sure all the holes and all the missing edges are filled with the rest with the dust and Clay so it's make sure it's completely covered An individual told Rasulullah Rasulullah you're putting these blocks you're paying attention to this job And you're doing a very perfect job. Don't worry about it We're gonna put dirt on it, and it's gonna be covered with dirt. Nobody be able. Nobody will see it Rasulullah says me Allah's mercy be upon the person who does the job who does the job and who does his best in it and he perfects this job Him Allah Emra and amala amalan fa'atqanah May Allah bless the one who does something and he Perfects that task that has been given So much importance into this statement Us as a Muslim everything that we do as a believer of Rasulullah Quran al-bayta aneyum as-salam. We will say inshallah as our action plan everything we do we say Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim So we get into habit of saying Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim before every task and then we will keep in mind while we are Throughout while we are through the process of this task this job this endeavor We make sure do our best if we want rewards from it even physical reward If we're even materialistic reward If we do good in it and we have brought Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim both will give hand in hand together Blessing and mercy from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and we doing our best in it. These two will give hand in hand together And inshallah we will get the benefit and the reward from this task that I'm putting But if I say okay Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim, and I won't do my best at the job, of course not gonna work We need dua we need Allah in our daily lives By saying Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim and we should do our share both of this Together we can see how much we start when we start a business when we go to school when we are cooking at house When we are cleaning we see blessings. We see something different because we started everything with Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim inshallah we will conclude this episode by Asking Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala the most important dua and that will be to hasten the opinions of our beloved ma'ma Mahdi Ajr Allah ta'ala Fawj Al-Sharif, Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim Allahumma kulli waliyyika al-Hujjat ibn al-Hasan Salawatu ka alayhi wa ala aba'ih Fihadah al-sa'at wa bi kulli sa'a wa liyan wa hafidah wa qa'idah wa nasirah wa dalilah wa aina Hatta atuskinahu wa ardaka taw'a wa tumatta'ahu fiha tawwila Rahmatika ya ar-Rahman ar-Rahmeen
