 ومرحمة الله وبركاته بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله رب العالمين الحمد لله حمدني وافي نعمه ويكافي أمازيده يا ربنا لك الحمد كما ينبغي بجلان وجيك وعظيم السلطان سبحانك لا نحصيثنا أن عليك أن تكما اضليت على نفسك نستغفروك ونتوهرك وابدروا الصلاة وقتم تسليمها على سيد الأولين والآخرين وقائل الغول المحجدين وعلم السابقين وشفيع المذبين وسيد والدي آدم أجمعين الله صلى وسلم وبادك عليه وعلى آله الغول الميامين وأصحابه نجوم الدين ومن تبعهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين وعن معهم رحماتك يا رحم الرحمن الله ملا سهلا إلا ما جعلته سهلا وأن تتجعل الحزنة إذا شئت سهلا الله منفعنا ورفعنا بالقرآن العظيم الله ما جعله لنا نورا وإماما ورحما الله أضلهمنا بشتنة وعيدنا بشروعية فرسينا أما بعد بأمين ومأخي أردت أن أتحدث with you about one of the dearest subject that I have but to be honest with you whenever I speak about this subject or the subject of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم even though I love to speak a lot about them in the meanwhile I feel myself frightened of speaking about them because here I'm not here to prove that the Qur'an is the word of Allah I'm here to scale myself according to these matters so if I'm successful that means I have good grade in the relation to the Qur'an when I'm not successful that means my word and my position is not that good with the Holy Qur'an so this is the way I look at myself and I would like all of you if you hear from me something that convinced you that's it otherwise just search again because the Qur'an is a very great matter the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم a very great matter you know and we shouldn't spend even if we spend all of our life searching and building up our knowledge about these matters because these are parts of our religion and our religion doesn't mean a lot without them that's why I'm going to share certain points with you regarding what I look at the Qur'an the first point which I think is very important and many people they look at it in the opposite way of my look I look at the Qur'an as a phenomenon or a reality in my life I don't prove the Qur'an through the history of the Qur'an I would rather say I prove the history of the Qur'an by the Qur'an in another word that I'm trying to say you have this book you know I'm going to say whether you know from where did it come or not you feel that you are facing a phenomenon in your life and that this is extraordinary and you should know how to deal with it to be honest with you most of our life is not going to be built about the resource or the history of these matters now I'm present to you you have this reality in front of you you may not know my background you may not know my issue but you should judge me and know me according to what I'm speaking about even the famous people in our time usually they look at them they are going to be from their presence and their reality much more than their history and background and I would ... so that's why from this point I look as I said before I'm going to prove the history of the Qur'an through the Qur'an and not the opposite I have something here in my life called Al-Qur'an Al-Karim I have this matter which I look at it as an extraordinary matter and this by itself it's enough evidence for me even though I'm going to speak with you about how the Qur'an was transmitted and you name it and I would like to look at the Prophet in the same way I don't judge the Prophet or look at him through his Seerah no I'm going to look to the Seerah of the Prophet through himself you got my point why do I say so because I'm still there in Syria we used to have many of those Muslim students they come to seek Islamic knowledge you know and I observed that many of them they seek to know the history of the Qur'an to prove the Qur'an which in my case or in my view it's not a good idea okay here you have something in your life you try to explain and that's what most of the scientific matters and theories and experiment took place when they found that they had this disease and they were going to try to find out what's the reason of it what's the history of this disease how did it come and you name it okay and in another way they tried to build many of the letters that they give they give to us upon the presence of this matter and this is the look should be in the Qur'an and whenever anyone look at the Qur'an from this way it's going to be really impressed by the Qur'an and then it's a good idea to try to ask himself how did it come how was it transmitted and you name it this is the first point that I would like to highlight the second point that I would like to highlight the way and the right or science which relate or depend completely on transmission and others on experiment we should look at our seminar mixed up with each other if I am wrong the western people they tend to look at everything from the experiment this is maybe right for medicine for computer sciences for this or that but for religion it's not good at all I would rather say it's very bad one why? because the religion in my definition it's the relation between الله سبحانه وتعالى and his slaves and here you have dominant portion and wherever you have as such the other one should just be dictated you know and instructed from the first one if I am not going to accept anything of Islam unless I am going to have a trial about it or experiment or this we are going to be in very bad shape why? because I am limited I have some skills or whatever but regardless of my skills or whatever it's not going to prove everything for me and this what has been mentioned first if I am الله سبحانه وتعالى what did Allah سبحانه وتعالى say in the verse number 65 in Surat Al-Nisa فلا ربك لا يؤمنون حتى يحكيموا كفي ماشجة ربينهم سملا يجدوا في أنفسهم حاول جميع مقبطة وسلي متستيب that swear by the law of the prophet they are not believers until they seek your judgment for any dispute among themselves and they are not going to find even any negative feeling against it in their heart and come with full submission and this is the way I understand the religion by when I want to subject all of these commands in the Quran to my experience let's assume which is almost impossible I am in 99% successful and convinced by this command or prohibition and in 1% I am inaccurate am I right or wrong I am completely wrong why? because I am judging Allah سبحانه وتعالى I am judging the message of Allah سبحانه وتعالى truth and the things given to me by Allah سبحانه وتعالى and by very simple way you know anything or anyone done by someone else the other one has the dominance no way that the computer is going to govern the man who firstly made it no way the car is going to drive the driver and here whenever we try to use it in the opposite way even though which is impossible I said we are 99% we are completely wrong can any scholar, can any scientist nowadays say that we gain let's say 60% of the knowledge of the humanity in physics, chemistry, medicine and space and whatever no he cannot say so because as you see the development of the humanity all the time you have something new you have some improvement and you name it so how I am going to judge the Quran according to that to the setting that I have nowadays and I know it's deficiency I am a medical physician and medicine you have very great areas which will be really bad after 100 years or whatever and nowadays we have very bad areas that medicine is completely non-developed in these fields and this is not only for medicine it's for all human experimental sciences and to subject the Quran to these matters you know it's too simple the Quran is way above this but the covers of these two points that I mentioned I am going to tell you how great was the transmission of the Quran according to our given way of thoughts according to our experiments or whatever I would like to highlight two points about the Quran which in my imagination the western people they don't understand one way and many of the Muslims they don't understand that point also the Quran has been transmitted by two ways first way verbally from a person to another second way by writing and I look at the second way as secondary is not the most and main one the first one is the most important and in my feeling correct me if I am wrong the western people they will feel opposite they feel that the Quran has been transmitted because of the written document the scripture that we have and that's why you hear one year ago about Birmingham script that they have and a year before about Berlin script that they have and you name it but perhaps this because they don't have experience in it you know most of their science they are going to be transmitted according to the book but let me speak about myself I am not going to speak about others I memorized the whole Quran to be honest with you I don't know which copy I memorized the Quran from it I did not keep it you know if you ask me which copy did you use to memorize the Quran I am sorry to tell you I don't know but if you ask me who was the person who gave you the Quran I am quite confident and sure about mentioning that person you got my point I think anyone who memorized the Quran in this life he made it and kept that copy you know with him back at home but again when he come to a person like me I am going to ask him on whom you have recited the Quran I don't care about his copy a lot even though I know that his copy is a precise one I have no doubt about the copy but I care much more about the teacher who gave him this Quran but I am trying to say in my view the Quran has been transmitted from the first day of the Prophet ﷺ up till now up till our days even though we have millions and millions of these copies has been transmitted verbally by Sheikh and student and in my view from our generation to the coming generation is going to be transmitted as such and this is don't misunderstand me I am not here to put the copies of the Quran down they are the greatest scripture ever you have and I am going to tell you about the history of them shortly but here just to highlight for myself and the others the transmission of the Quran the main resource to have this transmission of the Quran they are the verbal transmission which we call it Mutawatil what's the meaning of Mutawatil if you ask now the most expert in transmission and in the Islamic knowledge which has been transmitted please bring me the evidence that the prayer is for Raka'as that person who went to the computer and brought you this large lot of documents all of them they are narrations the door is for Raka'as how do you feel about it do you think that this person give you the proof that door is for Raka'as I say no and the door has been for Raka'as not because of those documentation and when I started praying door for Raka'as I did not know about all of them or perhaps 95% of them how did we know that door is for Raka'as because in that time of the Prophet we have thousands of people they used to pray door for Raka'as and they delivered this habit to much more thousands and perhaps 10 thousands or more of people and these 10 thousands they transmitted to 100 thousands and more and now a days to millions and we don't know to what end so here you are speaking about 1 billion chain or so of the transmission that the door is for Raka'as you are not speaking about 500 or 6000 or whatever this is according up till now to the human ability it's beyond the can it's beyond the count it's much more than this in the same way I look at the Quran the Quran has been transmitted in the same pattern and when I seek the proof of the Quran it's going to be exactly similar to this pattern of transmission that door is for Raka'as and not 3 or 2 or 5 and by the same way it's the Quran and this is regarding this way and regarding the Quran you have it from that active side and the passive side when you look at it from the passive side it's going to duplicate many many times I give you example of it in Syria and teacher of Quran if I taught my people to say الحمد لله رب العالم what's going to happen I'm going to have massive objection about those teacher of the Quran in my city what does this mean for me when I teach people to say الحمد لله رب العالم even though actively they did not accept this the other scholars you know back in my city but passively they accepted because whenever I have it in a wrong way they are going to object you got my point in another way what I'm trying to say the one who learned Quran in my class he did not learn Quran from so and so he learned Quran from the whole city of Damascus and this is much more broad look to the massive transmission that I'm speaking about I think I hope that this point is quite clear and it's very important for it and this matter that we are speaking about just imagine nowadays when we travel to US or China if you find a Muslim there you are going to find the same way of reciting the Quran and if we ask the one who did not sound that religious person you are not pronouncing this way this is what is written in your copy please adjust the pronounces this way I think this is better what response you will receive for it he is going completely to reject it let's say you have stolen his copy you know and you physically wrote down this instead of الحمد لله شكرا لله what is that verses going to do nowadays we are speaking about our time we try quickly to get rid of this copy and find for himself in another copy of the Quran am I right or wrong when we have such behavior nowadays all over the globe what is our expectation about the companion and the successor and here if we are after those long days and these far distance we have this attitude toward the Quran when we study how they used to be how respectful they used to be to the Quran and how precise they if you don't believe me let's go by the narration you read in Bukhari عثمان عفا says this is the one who has a significant role in the Quran he said لا يوهاج المصحف اليوم no one has the authority to put or take away anything from the mصحف this is debated in Bukhari that this is the look the statement of عثمان ابن عفا I would rather if you collect that as you know even the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم who is the person who should listen to him and learn Quran from him in many occasions he used to show us that he has nothing to do with the Quran the full authority is from Allah SWT how did I know this you have some people they came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم with some difference in style inside the Quran and what did the Prophet say did he say I permit him to recite in this way no this is not this wasn't the expression of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم what did he say he said حكز اونزيلة what the meaning of حكز اونزيلة as if the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was full and high respect and we should listen to him whatever he instructed us even if he told us to recite this Surah in this way or that way he tells us that this did not come from his side it descended this the way it was descended which means from where from Allah SWT okay all those looks I would like to understand them very well before touching certain points you know of the history of the transmission of the Quran how the Quran was transmitted or should I should ask everyone you are speaking about the hidden chain or the manifested chain you have to yes we have to we have the hidden chain namely from Allah SWT till the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم if I am left alone I am not going to do I know anything about it but Allah SWT in some verses in the Quran gave us some idea about it firstly how it is manifested you know the tablet then how it descended all the way either to the other tablets or according to the house of honor in the first heaven and how it took all the way down to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and the cave of Hira and this by Allah SWT description it took how many years 1,000 years and how many creation you have them involved in it some of us may feel or think that it is only jibreel no you have a lot massive amount of angel you know they come themselves you know involved in it when the Surat Al-An'am was revealed the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم جاءنا 8 70,000 of the angels then let's speak for sure I am not good one you know to speak about the spiritual or non-physical chain of the Quran anyone who is interested you know in the non-physical order that chain I encourage him to go and read carefully Al-Hawameem start by Haameem تنزيل كتابن الله العزر عليم حتى ترى حتى أخذ حمد 7 سورة you know in the Quran they tell you about the hidden chain how did it how was it initiated from Allah through the angels through the messenger till the nation and this tells you about the hidden or not seeing chain and to my surprise most of the generation they said these Haameem they are put in the Quran in the same order that they were feed by and you have this chain in the same order it was revealed and it was put in the Holy Quran but I am going to concentrate much more about the physical chain that we have the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم from day one was interested you know you have in the Quran memorize and written down you have in some narration that even the first revelation which was in the say Najib Reel when he had this revelation he brought it in a cloth of natural silk and it was written there this is the setting of Allah most of the Arab areas you know Arab Peninsula they don't know how to write whereas in Makkah Makkah was the first in the Arab Peninsula to have the Arabic writing introduced to it it was done by Harb Ibn Umayyah Harb Ibn Umayyah passed away roughly 20 years or more for the revelation what I am trying to say is that these people of that particular city which is going to receive the first revelation from Allah many of these people there they are familiar with the Arabic writing and they know how to write and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم has a plenty of writers you know in Makkah portions of the Quran which was revealed the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم would say for someone you know to have it written the document if some of you they are familiar with how Omar Al-Khattab became Muslim which was quite early and this is perhaps after 5 years of the start of the revelation how did he become Muslim he has a copy of Surat Taha in the house not in the house of the Prophet not in the house of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq not in the house of Rasma Ibn Al-Fan not in the house of Abu Uba Ibn Al-Jara'ah not in the house of his sister who is at that time at least for us you know may come in the importance you know number 20 or 25 which means that you have a plenty of copies of Surat Taha and by this way صلى الله عليه وسلم when he read that script and the whole Quran was as such when the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم the people of Madinah quite few of them they know how to write majority of them they don't know and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم wrote this smart idea to get over this problem when they have the world president you know of the Meccan people doing better he made the condition to free some of them to teach 10 of the boys of Madinah and by this smart idea the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم had the ability to spread all over the Madinah the way of writing and one of these boys who had the chance to learn how to write eventually he was the neighbor of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in Asia very smart person free not married no children and he is the neighbor of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and whenever the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم has revelation he is going to call him writer this is the same result and that's why in the Madinah time you have an expert in that in writing how many writers the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم has I can bring to you 45 names of his writers and some of you they get surprised and I get surprised because in these all days perhaps the kings like Caesar and Kistra and the others they may have 4 or 5 books around their area or palace or whatever whereas the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم we can name we don't know about those who are not named we can name for him 45 writers which for me it's a huge number it's impossible number yet even though the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم that's a huge number of writers it became a specialty of Zaid bin Salih and he was not alone because as narrated in Timothy he said while we are writing the Quran in the presence of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and this is to mention the Hadith about Sham or about Syria so what's the point here that he was with a group of people writing the Quran in the house of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in the presence of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم besides all of these matters say Najibri used to come to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم on yearly basis just to go over the whole Quran which was revealed up till that time during the month of Ramadan and in the last Ramadan of the holy life of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم say Najibri came twice you know and get over the Quran twice and say in Zaid Emin Thabit the person that we spoke about him a moment ago he attended the last Arabic we call it when the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to recite on say Najibri Zaid Emin Thabit attended the last recitation of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم by this toward the end of the life of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم we know that many scripts they were written again we know the name of 22 companions who used to memorize the whole Quran this of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم but let's assume we don't have even one memorizer of the whole Quran at that point does this take away the meaning of Tawatu no why because for Tawatu we need for each portion or each section of the Quran to be narrated as such and it's not necessary if someone narrated Surat Al-Baqala to narrate Ali Amran or if he narrate Ali Amran to narrate Surat Misa or whatever yet besides those narrators who I think they count hundreds or thousands of people I'm going to mention to you shortly why they count that number who have in our time nowadays we may bring a name of 22 or 23 persons who memorize the whole Quran the expectation to have much more why because the way you would study the Syrah of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم you find out how eager was the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to convey the verses of the Holy Quran from his side and then encouraging everyone you know to tell the authors you know about it from his side in the Mecca and setting in many occasion you will get hurt صلى الله عليه وسلم and you will be having some negative reaction from some of those people in Mecca yet the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم keep doing it till the extent the companion who were quite few and not that strong they felt sorry about it and they decided among themselves let's one of us take this task and the weakest one physically in our scale he said I'm going to take it you know who was not well recognized he's not looked at among the Mecca community from no way family or whatever he said I'm going to take over and he started reciting the Quran what you read in Bukhari say the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in the Majlis of the Quraishi people are surrounding him many Majalis he start reciting when Najmi in the Hawa and he keep reciting it till he reach the end of it and when he reach the end of it where is a command of prostration he perform prostration صلى الله عليه وسلم and everyone believer and believer and human kind they perform prostration I'm not here to tell you about this story I'm here to feel that such a story given to me it means that this was the ordinary habit of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to recite to convey to have the massive transmission of anything from the Quran and that's why you read in معراج what do you read in معراج on the morning of that night the first one to to meet with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was Abu Jahal what did he ask him be careful about these points what did he ask him he said anything new came last night what does this mean that means every morning that Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is going to tell the mankind people Muslim or non-Muslim about what has been revealed last night and that's why Abu Jahal initiated this question to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم for sure this is good reason when we explain that the whole Quran was written during the time the life of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم but it was not collected in one place because as you may know you may have addition you may have abrogation or you name it and here it's going to be much more harmful when you have a fixed copy and a person is going to take it you know when you have something added after it and this copy is not going to be good copy nowadays if anyone buy a copy of the Mus'hafi Sharif or you have missed pages or one page you are going to feel the deficiency of that and this is for me explain and it's very reasonable explanation why the Quran was not collected completely in the time of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم because of this factor whereas as we know now that we have massive transition verbally of the Quran a massive transmission writing of the Quran when the collection of the Quran start year 12 the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم passed away in year 11 in year 12 he initiated the collection of the Quran but he put a condition what is the condition it's not only to bring your script you know you should bring two witnesses with you that this was written in the presence of the Prophet and here when we relate our Quran by our chain or we call in Arabic to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم we are not going to relate it only verbally for sure I said the verbal one is the most important one we are going to relate it verbally and writing wise so he put this condition I'm not going to accept any of those collection of the written document or the script unless you have two witnesses that this was written in the presence of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and this is narrated in the Quran and by this Sayyidina Abu Bakr collected this copy and the one who was in charge of this who was the one in charge who was Sayyidina Zaidab who was Sayyidina Zaidab one of our parent not one the most expert you know in writing Quran and the one who attended the last adult we mentioned you know about Quran done by the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to Sayyidina Zaidab in the time of Sayyidina أسوان أعفان for sure there's a gap and in this time as we read in the time of Sayyidina Abu Bakr Sayyidina أعوامر you know of Sayyidina أسوان أعفان you have many of those copies you know they are taken from this original copy and that's what we read but Sayyidina أسوان أعفان on year 25 of Hezrah he made it official you know and he wrote we have some controversy between 5 or 8 copies of that collected copy and he send it to all major cities you know in Islam namely Mecca Damascus Koufa Basra Medina and we have in some region Yemen Bahreed and he kept one for himself called Abus Hafeleem and the people all of them they start copying according to this أسوان أعفان assigned a recital of the Qur'an to go with the copy see the combination between recitation and script never stop even Sayyidina أعفان when he send these copies which is copy he send or assign a person to be in charge of teaching that copy you want the names we have the names for the Medina copy for the Mecca copy for the Shami copy and Abishia for the Masri copy for the Koufi copy and Abdulrahman As-Sulam we have the names of those recites of all the Qur'an we send you know with these copies of Sayyidina أعفان and by this how do you feel about it I feel about it here you have very physically as a mountain you have a mountain of transmission the way I describe for you how the door is they are for rak'as or whatever you have many in your Islamic practice nowadays that we practice it we may not know how different and how confidential it was transmitted but really it was possibly transmitted in a way that when you look at your life you hardly find anything similar to it you know and your life practice have these chains you know of the Qur'an they were kept all the time or getting more and more one of the latest scholars who passed away in year 832 Abdul-Jazari in his book he wrote down 1.000 chains if you have it written in one book you know 1.000 chains what do we expect how many chains do you have for sure he made a lot of اختصار because it's almost impossible to come let's put it in very simple way all of those 1.000 chains they are shoes of Abdul-Jazari how many persons in the time of Abdul-Jazari in 132 they used to memorize the Qur'an give me number if we said 1.000 they made me much more you got this point if you have a person who wrote down 1.000 chains even though it's highly educated in the Qur'an you expect to have 1.000 of these chains which was not written so again what I'm trying to say is that we see of Qur'an they are only a simple they are an example of it they don't tell you about the Qur'an how it was transmitted because as I restricted for the Zohar prayer for Raka'as and in this way we should look at the Qur'an shall we stop here or 5 more minutes 5 more minutes what was the second question let me see what was the question try to answer them the relevance of the Qur'an until this generation right now citing specific examples okay I look at the Qur'an as I think number 3 question but I answer it already so we are left with 2 questions you know the relevance you know between the Qur'an I think we are real need of the Qur'an nowadays why as a Muslim firstly we should receive your instructions from Allah SWT as we said at the beginning whenever you speak about anything religious religion is a matter of transmissions not a matter of experiment the second point which is too important nowadays I feel most of people even many Muslims you know they became too materialistic they don't have the relation with the spiritual matter and the Qur'an is a very good way of relating themselves to the spiritual matter which I look at it as real need of our humanity nowadays so the relation between the coming generation and the Qur'an if we as it used to be you know in the old days by all aspects what do I mean by them firstly we should have a plenty of recitation of the Qur'an to be honest with you out of my experience we are not that good in it even the other even the Arabic speaker the one who is non-Arabic speaker you feel that the Arabs they are reciting the Qur'an I'm sorry to tell you the Arabs they have the same problem of reciting the Qur'an here the problem I look at it as if most of us we don't have the relation that we should have with the Qur'an I'm going to bring you the story you know I don't know how accurate is it or what I used to visit UK Britain many times a Pakistani person non-Arabic speaker British person he asked me I want word from you I told him you should recite the Qur'an I said I cannot I told him I don't care you should recite the Qur'an no other word no that said Qur'an you should recite Qur'an he called me 4 months later telling me that he finished this amazed me a lot not for that particular person it amazed me a lot because many of us Arab and non-Arab we feel ourselves you know incapable of having and it's a matter of cry you may have some mistakes you may have some difficulties you may have some bad time you may have this or that but when you try to make it you know once after another you are going to find yourself you have better relation with the Qur'an in my view correct me but I'm wrong you never ever have the Qur'an available for everyone as you have in the Middle East I have seen many programs you know computer programs you may hear the recitation which me like about the famous reciter of the Qur'an you may have it in different way you may have different interpretation different tafsir different translation in another way what I'm trying to say I don't think this was available 50 years ago also but the quality of the Qur'an nowadays in my view is much much higher than any time before this even the one who is completely illiterate about Qur'an when hear the reciter of the Qur'an and how to recite the Qur'an it's going to be much better than many of those skillful you know reciting the Qur'an okay you got my message what I'm trying to say we should get ourselves used to have some recitation of the Qur'an I'm sorry to tell you and this is not for the people here in the US this for most of the people you know even in the Muslim countries and perhaps including myself and myself I have the habit of reading many things I'm sorry to tell you perhaps I give my interest you know and my skill of reading to read many many books you know beside the Qur'an which is completely wrong okay I should give most of this skill to read the Qur'an how did I know you look at the non-Muslim people they read this story they read this book they read this they read that they try to get some piece information from here or there in the university or elsewhere again they are going to have the same attitude in Islam we have something decided which is what you have this Qur'an it's not a matter of looking in your eye to the Qur'an and understand the meaning this is one of the good way building relation with the Qur'an but beside this you should have the recitation out of experience with some people you know when you have the voice coming it's going to affect you and it was brought to my attention recently you know which amazed me a lot this is I think this is in the internet they showed me it from the internet that a sheikh speaking it was in a comedy most of the people in the comedy they were not Muslim and they have certain way of measuring the flow of the tone and they use it for what? for songs I don't know anyone of you familiar with this I'm not familiar with it I'm sorry okay and out of their fun they ask that sheikh you have something that you can measure he said yes I have something and he brought them you know a recording of the result what was the result the best song it took 80% of success how much the recording of it took it took 100% for sure I know that it's painful you know perhaps I may not get this you know but beside this you have the choice of this wording the way they are put in the Quran it has a very effective way you know to penetrate to affect your heart soul to affect many of the well known and not well known you know portion of your body الله سبحانه وتعالى تبشعنه منه جلود الذين يخشونه ثم تدينه جلودهم وقلوبهم وقلوبهم وقلوبهم which means in another way that you have a way of recitation this has nothing to do with reading a book with understanding the meaning of the book السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله أمبي العالمين الذين حمداً ووافين عماً ويكافئوا مزيداً يا ربناك الحمد كما ينبغي جلار مجيك وعظيم سلطانك سبحانك لا نفسي سنان عليك أنت كما أثنيت على نفسك استغفروا كول هتوموا لك وقلوا الصلاة وتم تسليم على سيد الأولين والآخذين وعلم السابقين وقائد الغر المحجرين ومع ذلك أذى آدم أجمعين واما صلى السلام عليكم وعلى آله قر الميامين وصحابين جودين وما سبح قر منتبع بإحسان وعم معه برحمة يا رحم الرحمن واما لا سهلة إلا ما جعلته وانت تجعب الحزن إذا شيت سهلة واما الحمدنا رشدنا وعيدنا مشروعي أنفسنا واما فعنا ورفعنا بالخرآن العظيم هذا هو السبب الرئيسي الذي يأتي ل to have a relationship with the Quran is to start reciting the Quran. وراتلناه ترتيلا. This is the way we should handle it by. And this is what has been practiced by the Prophet ﷺ and by his companion. The Prophet ﷺ attracted many persons by only reciting the Quran without anything beyond this point. Even some of the non-believers they used to spend the whole night listening to the Prophet ﷺ. Then they had a problem with the Prophet ﷺ because against the Prophet ﷺ he used to have a very nice citation of the Holy Quran and the women and the children of the non-believers, they would go and just listen to the Quran and they were fearful or afraid that they may be affected by the recitation of the Prophet ﷺ. And when the people of Yemen they came to Medina as narrated wherever or whenever they hear the Quran they start crying and said we used to be as such in the past. And this is all of these matters tells us that it's initiated by reciting the Quran. Reciting the Quran is going to build your relation with the Holy Quran. I would rather say it became many non-Muslim Muslims in the time of the Prophet ﷺ even in our time I went to the southern region of Spain and a Muslim person there he told me that I asked him how did you become Muslim. He said I traveled to Morocco and there I hear the Quran and this was the beginning of his story to become a Muslim. And this matter personally myself we tend to forget them. We don't feel the importance of them the way they should be felt. That's why this idea came to me yesterday. I don't know how practical it's going to be in this mosque. In Egypt you have some good reciter of the Quran. He may give recitation for half hour or more or less. And I think this is a good idea for those who are firstly listening to Quran to have it done in this mosque and have some people share this. Even I look for you to have it in all countries back in my country that not all people they will be going through the tough task of learning Tajweed especially the way I teach people. But I look for you to have people break their barrier between them and the Quran by at least having them reading some verses of the Quran. And I look at these steps as the first initiation to improve our relation with the Holy Quran. Beside this there is another important practice or point that should be taken which we tend to forget a lot or out of our conditions nowadays we are not that good in practicing which is what? Night prayer. Night prayer is one very good way of fixing your relation and finding your relation with the Holy Quran. One of the companion while he was reciting overnight the Quran as directed in Mokhari and elsewhere he started seeing candles coming down from the heaven to note or from the sky towards himself you know and this has been mentioned in a very varied way and the Prophet ﷺ said if you came reciting till the morning they will they are going to stay there you know and have every one of them. And this is by itself for sure I don't have this experience you know but it sounded like a unique experience of building your relation with the Holy Quran. To try to enjoy your times for sure for such a person it was enjoyable you know moments you know when you have these extraordinary matters taking place you know around you and I'm sorry to tell you nowadays because of the power you know we spent significant portion of the night waking up you know speaking with each other and we miss this great prayer you know I'm sorry I look at the power you know as the main factor you know of having all of us you know almost of us missing the night prayer I'm sorry to tell you when I went to Virginia a sheikh there he said he interpreted this hadith that the shaitans going to have his death to know in the ear about special prayer this is never the case okay special prayer is obligation you have no choice you know of anything rather than doing it in its time you know but the Prophet ﷺ what he meant you know why this hadith was the night prayer and not special prayer okay and this is very important I just why didn't I tell you about this story to tell myself and the other how far we got from the night prayer okay to the extent that in many occasions we tried to explain many of these hadith or the others you know by special prayer special prayer it's out of negotiation you don't have anything to discuss about it after that I tried to help myself to implement by what has been mentioned by the Prophet ﷺ in one hadith in one hadith the Prophet ﷺ divided in the Qur'an to seven different subjects these subjects of the Qur'an they are not put in order that you have the first portion of this and the second one they are in my view at least looked at as the subject mix all together you know in the whole Qur'an and you by yourself you know or by the help of the other we should recognize and separate this from the other one and try to give each one what it deserves what do I mean by this the Prophet ﷺ in this hadith he divided the Qur'an to seven different subjects the first subject is the second one is the third one is the third one is the fourth one is the fourth one is the fifth one the fifth one is examples and sad the sixth one is the seventh one moreover a domination or preaching in some narration of this hadith the Prophet ﷺ instructed us how we should react according to what we decide he said follow the steps of the commands ونقوم بإمكانك إعجابة ما يفعله إعجابه ممتعه أصدقائه في مدينة المشاركة المشاركة المشاركة أو المساعدة المشاركة لا يمكنك أن تعرفه لن يجب أن تكون في المشاركة إعتبئي ربي أم سالي أن تعتذر سوراً عن أجباتك يتحدث عن أحد من these 7 سبجيك. وفي كل سبجيك ليس مجرد من تعرفه. It's a matter of practicing it. And the Prophet ﷺ guided us how to practice these 7 different subjects. And this is a way of understanding the Qur'an. A way of building your relation of Qur'an. After you start reciting the Qur'an. I think the second step is going to memorize the Qur'an. And the third one to act upon what you know. Okay? Respond to the Qur'an. Okay? They said, أطير الله. This is mentioned many verses in the Qur'an. You have the ability to obey Allah ﷻ and directly know. You have it in indirect way by obeying what has been instructed to you or shown to you by the Qur'an. Sayyidina Abu Bakr ﷺ in one statement when he spoke to Sayyidina Abu al-Khattab. He highlighted differently. As may I understand and show the others. Here we have different look to the Qur'an. And the best among us. Those who have different views about the Qur'an. And they try to practice all of them. And they try to apply them to their life. So here we have this look which has been mentioned by the Prophet ﷺ about 7 different time. We have this look from Sayyidina Abu Bakr ﷺ when he subdivided the verses of the Qur'an to Jalali and Jamali. Majestic and beautiful one you know. And he said Allah ﷻ join them together in most areas of the Qur'an. Just to make the servant of Allah ﷻ and the full desire in Allah ﷻ and being fearful of Allah ﷻ. This one way of dealing with the Qur'an. Okay? We should try to practice the Qur'an through having these large great hopes, wishes in Allah ﷻ and through being fearful of Allah ﷻ. And some of us they may hate or not hate. Let's say not hate. They may dislike or they don't get along with certain verses of the Qur'an. I did meet with some people you know they had this matter. Here if they don't like those verses you know speaking about the Hellfire or whatever. When they are mentioned the Qur'an that means your need. This is a human need of the Qur'an. And you should not only build your relations with Allah ﷻ build your relations with the Qur'an only through the wishes you know and the hope that you have full desire to practice. Also you should build it through the warning pattern of the Qur'an. And this is one part of the names of the Prophet ﷺ. Bashiran-Nadirah. In Arsanaq-Ishahi. Bashiran-Nadirah to bring the good news and to bring the warning news or these news that we don't like to hear you. As a matter of fact we read in Seerah when the Prophet ﷺ started to uncover his دعوة his invitation to everyone after three years of the hidden invitation he climbed the mountain of Safa and he gave an example about something related to the warning sign not to good news you know. He said if by assumption you have a person came telling you that you have an army waiting against Makkah you know behind that mountain. If I told you about this the Prophet ﷺ related to himself are you going to believe in me? He said yes because we have we never tried any lie from your side. He said then I am the Nadeer. I am the warner for you from Allah ﷺ. This was the first word to be mentioned. And this is derived from the Qur'an. وَاَنْذِبْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الْأَقْرَبِ It's derived from this. So here what I tried. Don't be deviated. Okay. I'm not telling you to just collect all of those warning verses in all the Qur'an. No. We should collect both of them. The good news and the warning news from the Qur'an and you should work according to them you know in your life. And you need them. And as Sayyidina Abu Bakr ﷺ عمر الله سبحانه وتعالى join them together to have all of his servants you know. They have the most practices you know in all of their life. And this is one way of implementing the Qur'an to your life. Okay. Here I look at it as a balanced way between what we call in Arabic رجاء and خوف your hope and your fear from الله سبحانه وتعالى. And any of us who is deviated let's say in his hope he is deviated extremely to the hope. This means that he is secure. He feel himself secure of what we call Makrallah or anything done from Allah سبحانه وتعالى. And this is what is counted as an enormity. لا يأمنوا مكر الله إلا القوم الخاصي. Those who are losers. And this is really in Qur'an. If he is in the other way deviated toward the warning verses you know he may get to the region that is called despair. He is despair of the mercy of Allah. And this is another enormity. As you may see as we are modest most of our practices in Islam in your relation with Allah سبحانه وتعالى you should be modest. You should have the balanced way between رجاء and خوف or between wishes and fear and the best way of handling these two matters is to recite the Qur'an. This is going to bring your relation with Allah سبحانه وتعالى by reciting the Qur'an you are going to find yourself how you are going to take them in the well balanced way. When we speak about what we have spoken about yesterday when the Prophet ﷺ divide the Qur'an in another hadith to four different sections and he said the first section is the substitute of the Torah or the Old Testament. The second section is substitute of the Gospel. The third section is substitute of the Psalm or the Book of Sayyidina Dawul and the last one is special for this nation. Again, when you understand the common meaning of this previous book you should understand the message given to you from Allah سبحانه وتعالى this different section. I expect in the first section to see rules, see regulations, see commands, see prohibitions because these are the main instructions given in the Old Testament and for sure the Qur'an contains a lot of them and I'm going to expect most of them not all of them, most of them in the first section. When you look at the second section for sure your expectations should be about the spiritual matter because the Gospel and the nature of Sayyidina Ais and Marim speak deeply and in a specialized way about the spiritual matter and you look forward to have them in this section. When you look at the third one for sure you are going to look at some warning, some verses to praise Allah سبحانه وتعالى to have them in the thicker form to have them in this or that. I look at it as a common relation of practice your relation with Allah with the Holy Qur'an. Then some people they say Alif Lam mean it's a reflection of the materialistic matter. Islam one of its greatness you know that it deals with the materialistic the physical objects that you deal with and the spiritual one and whenever we are deviated toward one against the other this against Islam. And this is I think the most they have this problem nowadays even in the US you have many people they feel their need for the spiritual matter they don't become Muslim they go to Buddhism or something else. Why? This is because your people as Muslims they are quite deficient in this matter if they feel that their needs of the spiritual matters they are met in your Islam they will not search for the Buddhism or other religion What I'm trying to say that the Muslim practice not only in the US all over the world in my view has been deviated to the materialism much more and this is not the origin of Islam the origin of Islam to have the balanced way for sure that Islam did not instruct you to be in bad shape and just take care of your heart and your soul or spirit or whatever he wants you to take care of all matters you know related to your body and related to your spirit or to your soul and by this way you are going to fulfill the all needs of yourself you know as a humankind when you say humankind in my view I'm speaking about two component the physical component and the non-physical component how come most of Muslims nowadays they deny the other one they don't speak about it I hardly hear anyone you know speaking about it and we have a lot of speaking about how to have a world of truth how to raise up money how to make fund raising how we see we hear a lot of these activities you know but we don't need a lot about the other spiritual matters and this is completely opposite to the way the Prophet ﷺ you used to have for sure you should look at the Qur'an as zikr okay Qur'an is looked at as one of the best zikr that we have even some of those fairness you what did he say whenever you want to say let's say لا إله إلا الله rather than saying لا إله إلا الله from all sides you try to look at this observation you try to recite it as a part of the Qur'an that's why you hear it you know in many occasion they say فعلم أنه لا إله إلا الله why they started by فعلم أنه لا إله إلا الله because this is part of the verses you know mentioned لا إله إلا الله and by this you got my point and even when you make zikr we have been instructed by the prophet to have 33 times of subhan Allah 33 times of 33 times of Allah Akbar after each break rather than saying from my side I'm going to say from Allah subhan Allah on the side from the Holy Qur'an I'll get even if I want to be materialistic there I'm going to take 10 hasana for each letter there when I try to recite the Qur'an beside that we are reciting the Qur'an الله سبحانه وتعالى said in one hadith قد سي انا جريسو من ذكب I'm going to sit with the one making zikr of me and I think the best setting you know to have this to have the Holy Qur'an to sit down and recite Qur'an and build your relation with Allah subhan Allah in my view I may be too poor you know but I know for sure whenever anyone practice this way of sitting with Allah subhan Allah is going to gain much more relation with Allah subhan Allah just I take it by the exam that we have it nowadays okay when you have one of your boys or girls you know sit down a lot and get a friendship you know with another boy or another bear you know of his age you are going to find gradually that he is affected by that person he has some of his attitude some of his behavior some of his character some of his character you know has been changed okay by this I would like to have mind changed you know according to Allah subhan Allah according to humankind and this is how do I get it by sitting with Allah subhan Allah how do I sit by Allah by remembering Allah subhan Allah and that's why you have few surahs or few verses in the Qur'an has been highlighted by the Prophet's Allah to make zikr of them example of it surah Tiasin the Prophet's Allah to encourage us a lot you know to recite surah Tiasin encourage us a lot to recite surah to all of Allah encourage us a lot to recite all of the Lord all of the Lord of the people and we have many other many congratulations to the leader of the world for each night okay I will curse you for those who did not know about it you know in one hadith anyone who recite ayatul kursi after each prayer there's nothing to prohibit him of entering the heaven except this okay he doesn't have any barrier between himself and the heaven except this and this lead us to the question written there what's about surat Al-Kahf they said that first 10 verses of it you know if I'm right you know in some narration we have the first 10 verses and another narration we have the 5 last verses you know of it but in one narration mentioned by Abu Ya'ala whenever you recite surat Al-Kahf on Friday you are going to be protected of all fita for me to be honest with you it sounded great for me why because I see our time you know as time of fita and I would like for myself I would like for my family I would like for my friends and I would like for everyone to have this these ways you know of protection given to him you know by what by reciting surat Al-Kahf what's the relation between surat Al-Kahf and be protected of these matters you have many many factors there one of them you started by saying Alhamdulillah to be honest with you most of our fita nowadays because of something given to us you know and we have been abusive to it either we abuse the food consumption or we abuse the computer which Allah SWT made available to us or whatever so here when you say Alhamdulillah you try to descend the blessings from Allah SWT for these items when I look really you know in our days I would like I see I see that the humanity in our days they are drowned in the favorites of Allah SWT which never happened to anyone in the past I came to you you know within few hours you know I want to use the all vehicle it's going to take me months to reach this area or much more we got my point yeah I in the way I moved here it was much more sophisticated than the ways of the kings the old kings okay when you have the air condition when you have the heating when you have all these types you know of food you have all these vehicle the cars you know parking outside you have this car you have different type of clothes different type of colors different type of fruit and you name it you know all of these items we feel that I am not sure and it's the way you know it should be but when you read in the books this was not the way for our parents you know or grandparents and here when you start by saying and what's included in it to highlight many of those major favorites given to you namely the the story of اصحاب الكهب because they have long life okay اصحاب الصحب الجنتين the one who has two gardens you know and this may resemble many of our luxurious life nowadays then speaking about the knowledge many of us you know they are proud of their knowledge or their education or whatever but the story of say their khadr one of his significance was his knowledge you know when he meet with say then you have the kingdom you know you have that famous king دول قرنين and I am not going to speak about sword cat in many I will speak but just I highlight that this sura speak about many of those major and minor favors you know given to you from Allah سبحانه وتعالى and most of us they look at it as an ordinary way to have it you know they don't look at the greatness from Allah سبحانه وتعالى to have them available to us okay and when we keep thanking Allah سبحانه وتعالى we are going to have the unique protection you know of going to fitna we have the unique protection of having this item taken away from us is it a possibility is very strong possibility Allah سبحانه وتعالى the Quran ذلك بأن الله كم غير النعمة انعمى على قوم حتى يغيرونا I am not going to change any favor given to any group of people till they start changing do you see that change yes I do see that change you know among ourselves we don't appreciate these favors from Allah سبحانه وتعالى many occasion in other occasion we may abuse them in the sinful action and you name it you know one of these practices that we have they may lead us to have these favors you know gone away you know from our hand another way of finding your relation with the Quran is by inspecting those areas sometimes Allah سبحانه وتعالى these are real signals you know or I add to those who think in such a verse you should use your thought think about it the other one intellectual use your intellect third one أول العلباء those who have a core inside okay and here not all of us we have a core some of us they have core and the other they don't have and here what Allah سبحانه وتعالى إن في ذلك يذكر علي من كامل أو قلبه أو قلق السمع اذا كانوا إليفان و this heart is going to lead you to understand that verse or that chapter in the Quran or if you don't have a heart this not the end of the story you should search and find a person who has a heart and you will be good listener to that person إذن you have a heart or you listen to the one who have a heart and this what mentioned إمان كان قلق الجميع أو قلق السمعه ان شاء الله I look I'm sorry حتى now I haven't done it you know perfectly the way it should be done but I feel many of those verses in the Holy Quran they are going to direct you you know to use your different skills في قومان يبصرون we should use your eye, your sight, قومان يسمعون we should use your hearing and you name it as human kind among the creation perhaps we have the best skills given to us by Allah SWT and the best way of using our skills is to use it the way it has been designated in the Quran if I abuse them how do I abuse them if I use my intellect you know to judge my religion or to judge Allah SWT I have been abusive and I misuse my skill which was given to me from Allah SWT because I should limit it to the areas that has been mentioned in the Quran and there is a very important quotation you have in the Quran about certain description that Allah SWT loves a lot or certain description that Allah SWT has and in the Quran you love the truthful, Allah loves the righteous, Allah loves the righteous, Allah loves the righteous these are the six items you know that has been initiated by the love of Allah SWT if you are interested in gaining the love of Allah SWT you should search for these points in the Holy Quran and try to practice according to them to be truthful, to be patient, to be purified, to practice repentance most of the time to be محسن or perfect according to the different meaning of إحسان and you name it and again in the same pattern you look at those who are hated by Allah SWT and try to keep yourself away from these patterns because the Quran is not a story, the Quran is not a theology, the Quran is something to be practiced some may say does it fit our time? Allah SWT revealed this Quran to fit all times and this is one of the meaning of لا يأتي الباطل من بيلي يديه ولا من خلفي you are not going to have anything you know fake about Quran before or after and that's what the Prophet SWT described لا يخلقوا على كسرة الرد ولا تنقضي عجايا you feel it? yes I feel it why because now I'm around 60 years how many times did I repeat Fatiha to be honest with you up till now when I recite the Fatiha I don't feel bored of it you know but if you are going to give me any word you know in the whole word you know any statement or any text similar to Fatiha after repeating it a few times I'm going to get fit up why? because this is the wording of Allah SWT and that's one of the meaning لا يخلقوا على كسرة you are not going to feel yourself you know get fit up or feel of the Quran the goddess of how many times you recite it ولا تنقضي عجايا the way and it was put according to our standard in very excellent and smart way you see that the Quran which was revealed in the 7th century the Gorean century was not objected by anyone in that time of those who make sense or they have some education or some scientific look and you find that nowadays you have the same thing the Quran nowadays doesn't contradict with any of the scientific facts that we have nowadays even though many of those facts or many of these books has been changed over the years but the Quran put it in such a way to fit the understanding of the previous people and our understanding and by the same path is going to fit the understanding of the coming generations this as one of the Americans of the Prophet what is it that it does not give tafsir of the Quran I look at it as one of the Americans of the Prophet why it does not give tafsir of the Quran because if that tafsir is going to be according to the 7th century you are going to freeze the whole Quran and the Quran doesn't fit by this way to all times and all places if you give tafsir let's say of our time this will be like crazy for those people and they may not imagine it or not so here I look at this behavior from the Prophet as a great miracle of his the Prophet the most and the best person you know to handle and take care of the Quran I should ask myself why it does not give tafsir of the whole Quran starting from the beginning till the end because if he did so we are going to have one of these problems that I have spoken about at least we are going to freeze the Quran and the Quran by this two minutes mentioned by the Prophet it's going to be flexible for all times and all communities how can you know about with you about the positive point how to implement Quran let's speak about a negative point you had many factors in your life take you away from the Holy Quran I'm sorry I did not play bare myself you know but I would like everyone you know to go back and be carefully what's called Salat Hafzal Quran because in one of my lectures I found that each item mentioned there in the dua I mean Salat Hafzal Quran for those who are not familiar with it you pray for like us with certain verses and certain chapters of the Quran then you make dua to Allah SWT I found this dua really each item or each sentence of it tell you about certain practice that is going to block you of getting the middle relation with the Quran as we spoke positively about our relation with the Quran we should look after those negative point that may prohibit us from having this relation with the Quran what mention that dua first Allah مرحبني بيترك المعاسي أبدا ما قيت this one of the main barrier between you and the Quran whenever you commit sin you know or you are sinful person this is going to create a significant barrier between you and the Quran another one I'm sorry I may not remember all of them that's why I encourage everyone to go back to them أتكلا فما لا يعني one of the main wastage of time we have when we get ourselves you know important matters that it's not of our interest you know I should hear the news are you going to be a president you know or you are going to have you know some competition you know to go to the senate or here or there no I just want to hear the news okay hear the news hear this news you know given to you by Allah so here I'm not telling you you shouldn't hear the news you know but I just give example okay here when you look at your life on day to day basis you are going to find many activities you to do per day that they are wastage of time they are not beneficial for this life and for sure I guarantee for you they are not beneficial for the hereafter and another one and that dua bring the motivation to my heart to love the Quran we should ask Allah Subhan Allah and we should work hard to have the motivation to work I'm sorry as I told you at the beginning I don't memorize all of these sentences you know mentioned by this hadith but for me it sounded very great you know just to see the practical point I give this you know as one of the practical point you know as I said yesterday the availability of the Quran nowadays never happened in the past I have many people you know I look at them they have the whole Quran in their iPhone okay let's assume that you went to the doctor you have an appointment with the doctor and they told you sorry before 10 minutes you cannot get in okay why you didn't take these 10 minutes you know to open that iPhone and have few verses you know recited okay in my view all of us we have busy life if I'm going to wait till I have the free time which is half hour or one hour I may stay for days and days before achieving this you know to have the free time so in my attitude I would like to steal few minutes from here and few other minutes from there you know and try to build my relation with the Holy Quran by this way there's other spiritual matters you know I mean don't have the time you know to go over them you know you have the spiritual matter knowledge in Allah love of Allah confidence in Allah all of these spiritual matters they are going to drive you to learn the Quran more and more I have been instructed to give the last 10 minutes you know for any question if anyone has any question you know I'm sorry perhaps I did not cover the subject the way it should be covered you know but I leave the last 10 minutes you know for question if any of you have questions we will take like isha is 8 o'clock so we will stop before isha if anybody has questions please and sisters also please go the source of Salat حبز القرآن it's mentioned in Sunan Al-Tirmidhi and Al-Mustadra this is the book of Al-Haqib and among your people the one who has this small book you know called مستجاب written by شيخ أحمد عبد الجوان you have Salat حبز القرآن if you want to be official it's originally in Sunan Al-Tirmidhi and Mustadrak Al-Haqib I don't know perhaps we should have someone here you know to in the UK I have a person you know who printed Salat حبز القرآن for anyone who is interested let's have it in this community if someone you know he said he is going to do it you know to to print you know Salat حبز القرآن anyone who is interested in it you know let him go back to Sayidi Tariq to know about it and I encourage all of you you know to practice it I know about a person who was memorizer of the Qur'an when he heard about this hadith he practiced this prayer after his حبز القرآن and this prayer originally to make the person love the Qur'an he was already have this Qur'an he prayed that prayer when he heard it from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم our question I am saying Muhammad Ali here Sayidi I have a problem in reciting the Qur'an that usually the ayat that have the ahkam when I am reciting them I just go over them quickly like ayat المواريث and so on I do not know how to relay 12 to these ayat and just consider them as instructions that I should know quickly and then go on The question is that there is some ayat speaks about certain rule or regulations and he feel himself that he go over them you know quickly without understanding the rules there Is this the question? No even Sayidi with understanding the rules but for example the ayat that have a story or relate to for example I tend to think more about them fonder more on them ayat الأحكام I just go I think if I fully understand the question this question has been asked and answered by Imam Noah in his book he said in that book you have the controversy about should I read the Quran frequently or slowly and try to understand the meaning of it and the answer was by Imam Noah when you feel yourself that you are not that skillful understanding the Quran read more frequently when you have the skills slow down and try to understand these verses this answer given by Imam Noah can you mention about the Quran divided into 7 parts is there any way we can find which one is which as I said for the 7 it's almost impossible because they are the subjects of the Quran you may have two of them in one verse when Allah give you a command and go appreciate in one verse but when we speak about the four divisions yes we have we know them the first one start from Surat Baqara to Surat Al-Tawbah the second one start from Surat Yunus to Surat Al-Furqan the third one start from Surat Al-Shu'ara to Surat Al-Hujiran and the last one start from Surat Al-Kastur and as I understand there are certain divisions in the Quran you may take it by portions in the Quran but there are other divisions that you will not be able to do as such other questions ok, Insha' Allah make everyone ready prepare for Isha prayer وصلى الله عليه وسلم أحمد أحمد صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم شكرا صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم الحمد لله الحمد للوافي نعمة والكافر مجيدة ربنا لك الحمد كما يمضي دي جلال يوجيك وعظيم سلطانك سبحانك لا نحصيثنا ام عليك انت كما اثنين تعالى نفسك استغفروك انا تجوليك وابدر الصلاة وتم تسلم على سيدنا محمد الصادق الأمين المبروث رحمة للعالمين وعلى آله صحبه اجمعين اللهم اسمعنا خيرا واطلعنا خيرا ورزقنا الله العافية وداما علينا اجمع الله قلوبا على التقوى فقنا لما يحبوا إرضاه ربنا لا تؤخذنا إن نسينا واخطاءنا ربنا ولا تحمل علينا إسران كما حملت وعلى الذين من قبلنا ربنا ولا تحملنا ما با طاقت لنا به وعفو عمنا ووفب لنا ورحمي انت مولانا فوصرنا عليك ومن كافري اللهم انا عبيلك بن وعبيدك وبنو إماك وانزلتنا بيدك ماضن فينا حقنك عدن فينا قباء اسألوك بكل اسم من ولك سميت به نرسك وانزلته في كتابك وعلمت واحد من خلقك واستاثرت به في عين الآيب عدة انت جعل من قرآن العظيم ربيع قلوبا ونورة صدورنا وجلاء أحوزنا ودهاب همنا وغمنا اللهم اذكرنا منو ما نمسينا وعلمنا منو ما جهلنا ورزقنا تلاوتا وآنا الليد واطراف النهار على النحو الذي وغيك عنه اللهم اجعله خجة لنا ولا تجعله خجة علينا اللهم اجعلنا منو من أقام حروفه ورسمه وحدوده ومعالية ولا تجعلنا منو من أضاع حروفه ورسمه وحدوده ومعالية اللهم نومر بكتابك أبصارنا وأطلق به انسنتنا واشرح به صدورنا وستعمل بها اجتادنا بحولك وقواتك فإنه لا حملة وقوة ولقوة إلا بك يا محمد راحب وافر لا أم لنا ولوالدين ولمشايخنا ولملا وحقا علينا ورسائد مستمين أجمعين ربنا تقبل مننا بجاء النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم سبحانه وتعالى
