 وَإِنَّ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ أَوْثَقُ شَافِيعٍ وَأَغْنَ غْنَاءٍ وَاهِبًا مُتَفَرْضِيْلاً وَخَيْرُ جَلِيْسِ اللَّهِ يُمَلُّ حَدِيْثُهُ وَتَرْدَدُهُ يَزْدَادُ فِيهِ تَجَمْمُولاً صلى الله عليه وعليه وعلى آله وأصحابه، والتابعين لهم بحزان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد إن شاء الله تعالى I'm going to be starting a new series and in this series إن شاء الله تعالى I'm going to be إذن الله الكريم prove the preservation of the Qur'an but in order for me to do that I must have a couple of points clarified prior to إن شاء الله تعالى fulfilling that aim and objective in today's segment إن شاء الله تعالى or in this segment I hope to be in إذن الله الكريم discuss and tackle five points be in إذن الله الكريم I want to clarify these five points إن شاء الله تعالى each point is necessary for the viewers and those who are listening to pay attention to it because when we come to the last and final segment among the last and final episode in which we will be speaking about the doubts that have been brought forward to claim that the Qur'an is not preserved if you haven't understood these points it's going to be very hard for you to understand the answers that are given against the Orientalists against the non-believers in general إن شاء الله تعالى في هذا سكام I will talk about five things the first vindenته is that I will define the Qur'an I am also going to define the Qiraat I am going to mention the difference between the two in the first part I will talk about the definition of Qur'an and Qiraat and the difference between the two in the second إن شاء الله I will talk about about how علم القراءات came about, how did it evolve, how did it become the science that we see today, إن شاء الله تعالى the historical development of علم القراءات I will speak about it إن شاء الله تعالى. Number three, the importance of علم القراءات and the benefits of learning it and the virtues that you get if you study and you learn it will be the third part إن شاء الله تعالى. The fourth is the books, the treaties that have been authored in the science, the books and the the books and the treaties that have been written regarding علم القراءات إن شاء الله تعالى. The fifth إن شاء الله تعالى is what does the حديث مين أنزل القرآن على سبعة أحروف إن. That the Quran has been sent down in seven أحروف. What does that mean? Those are the five إن شاء الله تعالى points I'm going to discuss and talk and explain إن شاء الله تعالى in this segment بإذن الله الكريم. Let me start with the first one إن شاء الله تعالى which is قرآن what does it mean? قراءات what does it mean? And what are the difference between the two of them? What is the difference between the two? Let me define قرآن لنوستيقل. In the lexical meaning. The scholars they have five views regarding what the قرآن means in the Arabic language or what is it? What is it rooted from? What was it extracted from? The word قرآن. There are five views in the Arabic language. The first view is إنه مزدر. It's a verbal noun from the word قرآن. The word قرآن has been derived from the verbal noun قرآن. It's taken up from مزدر قرآن which means recited. Like the word رجحان and the word وفران is. And then that verbal noun has been then used as that مزدر has then become used as a noun for the قرآن the speech of الله has been used a noun for the book of الله سبحانه وتعالى. The word of الله that has come from him to our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم And the grammarians they call this باب تسمية المفعولي بالمزدر. The scholars they call this naming the object the verbal noun. The scholars they call that. And they used two evidences for that. This is what it's meant that it came from the مزدر the verbal noun قرآن and it means the واتلا like رجحان وفران. They used two evidences. The first evidence that they used is قوله تعالى the statement of الله فإذا قرآنه فتبع قرآنه. فإذا قرآنه فتبع قرآنه. He Allah تعالى. He said فإذا قرآنه when we recite it محمد فتبع قرآنه. It means a قرآن follow its recitation. That's one evidence. The second evidence is the statement of حسان ابن وثابت a noble companion when he was praising اثمار ابن عفان for his excessive prayer and his excessive recitation of the قرآن. He said about him يقطع الليلة تسبيحا وقرآنه. That he spends his whole entire night exalting الله سبحانه وتعالى وقرآنه. And here means the recitation of the قرآن. So according to the first view the word قرآن comes from the verbو نعون قرآن and it means تلا. That's what you need to know. The second view is انه وسفل. It's an adjective. The word قرآن is an adjective in the فوم فعلان مشتق but it's taken from not the word قرآن but it's taken from يُنسى من العربي، قرء، قرء يُنسى من العربي، قرء which means according to the Arabs الجمعُ to gather something to bring things together. Okay. That's what the Arabs mean by the word قرء. They say قَارَةُ الماء في الحوضي، يعني جمعتُه. أخذت موطة في حودة ، موطة أو موطة ، العرم يقول ذلك ثم إستخداموا لبكة الله ، القرآن إستخداموا لها ، هذا ما يقولون لماذا؟ لأنهم قالون أن القرآن يخذ فيه لأنه يجمعوا الصور والآيات لأنه يجمعوا الآيات والصور لأنه يخذ فيه ويجمعون فيه وضعه ويجمعون أنهم يستخدمون أنه يتكلم عن عمره المكالثوم الموطة ، الموطة الإسلامية الذي قال هجانو اللوني لم تقرأ جنينا ويجمعون لها لأنها لم تقرأ فيها السمك أي أبا لأنها لم تقرأ لأنها لم تقرأ لأنها لم تجمع لأنها لم تقرأ فيها السمك لأنها لم تقرأ فيها السمك أي أبا لذلك لذلك حقًا لأول قرآن لأنه يخذ من قرآن مزدر قراءة يعني تلان أول قرآن أعلم أنه يخذ إنه عجب في قرآن قرآن فعلان مشتق من مادة قرآ ويخذ من قرآ يخذ من قرآ يعني ألجمع لتقرأ شيء حسنا ومشتقون هذه أول أول أول ومشتقون أول حمزة هي أصل لذا قارع يوجد حمزة قرآ يوجد حمزة أول أول أول حمزة يوجد حمزة أصل لذلك ابن القيم رحمه الله يقول لفضل قرآني على هادين القوليني الحمزة في أصلية قرآ قرآي ابن القيم يقول حمزة فيهم يوجد حمزة أول أول أول أول أول أول هو أن قرآن ليس مزدر قرآ المزدر قرآ وليس مزدر قرآ قرآ مزدر قرآ يعني إنه مشتقب من قرآن تو الشيء بالشيءwhen you combine between things but there is a difference and I'll mention what the difference is يعني إنه مشتقب من قرآن تو الشيء عب شيء إذا ضممته oppos пока ش Divaa قرنت فيه فهذا القرانة قرنت تقريباً لكامباين هذا ما يعني سبب لقرانة جامعة نظام السؤال الثاني فقط الثالث المنظمة هنا هي أصل وإن المتخيل الأول المتخيل الأول المنظمة هي أصل الثالث الثالث هو that the word مشتق من القرائن it was taken from the word القرائن قراءين يعني إيقائية أو إيقائية قراءين يعني شيء that indicate something show something indicate something لأنهم يقولون أن القرآن إيقائيات شيء يعني يقول أنها أفضل قراءين وإيقائية is an evidence it is a proof for the truthfulness of the prophet Muhammad أو بعضهم يقولوا لا what it is is that القراءين يعني أن يصدق بعضها بعضهم the Quran strengthens one another if one statement comes there is another statement that backs it up الأشباه والنظائر resembling one another according to the last two views which is قرانت الشيء أب الشيء أما القراءين those two second views the second and the third view the moon is the ascent ولي ذلك من القييم يقول ولفض القرآن على هادين القوليني أن نونه فيه أصليا the moon is the ascent the last and final view is a view held by Imam al-Shafiq Imam al-Shafiq's opinion was أن نفضل القرآن إسمون علم that the word قرآن is إسمه علم what does it mean it is a term that was found in this form and it is not على علم غير منقول it is a name that is for the quran and it has not been taken from something it is not taken from the مصدر قراءة it is not taken from the wasp of القرآن it has not been taken قرانت الشيء أب الشيء it is not taken from القراءين نهن ذا ابن شافعي say no this word القرآن هكذا it is a place for the quran like the word توراة وننجيل Imam al-Shafiq said it is a name for the توراة and injil is a name for injil and it has not been taken from anything then the quran has not been taken from anything that is the fifth and final view شافعي هل ذا أفنين علي رحمة الله and Imam al-Shafiq is as he said is a حجة in the Arabic language he is a proof whatever the case may be whatever the case may be the overwhelming majority of scholars are of the opinion that the quran comes from مزدر ذا بنون قراءة يعني بمعنةنا and then the second place the the other view which is it means it comes from the word القرئي which means الجمع and the quran both of those it is what it is according to the majority of scholars now insha'Allah we are now going to go into the definition of quran technically what is quran technically mean? it means هو الكلام المعجز المنزل على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم المكتوب في المصاحف المنقول بالتواتر المتعبد بالتلاوة the word quran is the speech of Allah this is the technical definition according to the علماء the word quran it is الكلام is the speech of Allah كلام الله المعجز it's a miracle and the previous prophets they came with miracles for their people to believe in them نبي الله محمد's miracle in which he came with for his people to believe in him is the quran it's a معجزة and الله تبارك وتعالى تحدي العرب it was a challenge that we put to the Arabs the most eloquent of people وان كنتم في ريبي بما نزلنا على عبدينهم فأتوا بصورة من مثله ودعوا شهاداكم من دوني الله ان كنتم صادقين if you are truthful in your doubts and in your speculation and you think that you are right and Muhammad is wrong then present something like his book they were saying it was his book then present something like what he came with I mean the quran is not the book of the prophet it's from Allah عز و جل but produce something like it if you are truthful what you are saying so they couldn't so it's a معجزة المنزلي it's been sent down on the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم المكتوب في المصاحف it's written in the مصاحف المصاحف that we have المنقول بالتواتوري it was transmitted to us by multitude narration المتعبد بالتلاواتي we worship Allah on these letters and wordings يعني the quran every single letter we worship Allah we get closer to Allah by it that's what it means technically what is قراءات من لنوستيكلي and what does قراءات mean technically the word قراءات the word قراءات is a plural it's a feminine plural it's called جمع المؤنة السالم in the Arabic language there are three types of plural there's جمع المدقر السالم جمع المؤنة السالم جمع التكسير those are the three types of plural in the Arabic language one of those plural are called جمع المؤنة السالم feminine plural القراءات is feminine plural how do we know what it is? it is because it finishes with the elef and تا at the ending originally يعني the singular word that it comes from is القراءة it comes from the singular word القراءة so the word القراءات is a plural it's a feminine plural and it's taken from the singular القراءة and the word القراءة is the word القراءة is originally taken from the root word of قراءة so let me say that slowly القراءات is plural what's the singular? the singular is القراءة القراءة is the singular so what is القراءة rooted from in the Arabic language? what original word was it taken from? if I want to look it up in the dictionary what word do I have to look it up? because in the dictionary they always mention the original the أصل the the the root word they mention so the root word is قراءة قراءة so قراءة was what for us before we spoke about it it's a verb noun for the verb it's a verb noun for the verb قراءة يقراء القرآن and this has two words two usages it has two usages القراءة في عالة it's been used for two the first one is الجمع والضمو which we already mentioned it's to gather and to combine something and the second one is التلاوة وهي نطق بالكلمات المكتوبة and the Arabs they say قراءة الكتاب اي تلوه that's what it means linguistically so according to scholars the word القراءة from the five views that we mentioned for القرآن remember? was the first one the first view that we mentioned for القرآن was what that the Quran is taken from the word is taken from the word قراءة right and the word القراءة is taken from the word is taken from the word قراءة so from there they are the same okay and this is important that you understand it because it's going to help us later when we speak about the concept of is قراءة and the Quran one and the other technically what is the word قراءة mean القراءات what does it technically mean there are many definitions given regarding it we are going to take the definition placed by Imam Ulfan the Imam of this field he died a year 833 هجريا رحمه الله and Imam Uljizri he said قراءات is what it is علم بكيفية أداء كلمات القرآن واختلافها معزول لناقله he said it's a science where a person learns the way and the manner to articulate and to pronounce the warnings of the Quran and it's also a science where you learn the differences the variations of these recitations معزول لناقله attributing each of those recitation to the person who read it in that way that's علم القراءات nothing more nothing less when they are at some times some people they mention about علم القراءات when they define it issues which are known as علم القراءات or توجيه القراءات this is different to what القراءات is and Imam Uljizri's definition is very good and we'll stick to that in sha Allah so my beloved brothers and sisters we've now learned what Quran means linguistically and technically we've also learned what القراءات means linguistically and technically we're now going to move on to the differences between the Quran and the قراءات the differences between the Quran and the قراءات according to the scholars they have three views regarding is the Quran and the قراءات one and the other there are three views the first view is the Quran and the قراءات are two different things they're two different things the Quran is one thing and the قراءات is another thing this view the reason why they held their opinion is because they said that the Quran is الوحي المنزل على محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم للبيان والإجاز and the Quran is a revelation set from Allah سبحانه وتعالى onto نبي الله محمد and it was sent down to clarify matters for people and it was also sent down to show the people that they can't come with anything like this as for القراءات they said it is اختلافوا الفاضل وحي it's the differences and the variations that are present in the Quran so they said these two different things this view is held by ألمام مزاركش شهابوا الدينة القصطلاني ألمام شهابوا الدينة التمياطي ألمام بدردينة الزرقشي ودأت يان 794 ألمام شهابوا الدينة القصطلاني ودأت يان 923 هجرية ألمام شهابوا الدينة التمياطي ودأت 1117 هجرية those three imams they said that القراءات and the Quran are two different things and that was their argument the second opinion is that the قراءات and the Quran are one and the other they're both the same and the argument that they use is two things the first argument that they use is that the قراءات is originally taken from the مزدرات قراءة right يعني القراءات the singular is قراءة صح القراءة and the word القراءة comes from the مزدر of قراءة and we just said that the word مزدر قراءة is the same one that the Quran was taken from which meant a tele-recitation so they said look illinguistically it's the same that's the first argument that they brought forward the second argument that they brought forward is they said the حديث الأحروف السبعة that we're going to mention later إن شاء الله و تعالى they said that حديث الأحروف السبعة are clearly and categorically show and indicate that there is no difference between القراءة and القراءات and that's our evidence we have a revelation to support this matter that when we looked at the حديث that speak about الأحروف السبعة and we're going to speak about that إن شاء الله و تعالى they said it shows and it indicates that the Quran and the القراءات are one and the other okay the third and final view is تفصيل تفصيل means what the Quran and the قراءات are not one and the other and they are also not different to one another so what does that mean it means we need to explain it the قراءات are two types the قراءات are two types there is a قراءة which is known as قراءة مقبولة the accepted قراءة and the accepted قراء is what it is the قراء which is متواتر it has been transmitted to us through a multitude narration there is it also second thing that the قراءة مقبولة the accepted قراءة has is it agrees with the Arabic language ولو احتمالا it agrees with the Arabic language it's in accordance to the Arabic language and the third condition that it meets the قراءة which is مقبولة is توافق الرسمة احد المصاحف العثمانية ولو احتمالا it's in line with one of the مصاحف of عثمان رضي الله as we're going to see later عثمان sent many مصاحف it's in line with one of those مصاحف ولو احتمالا that type of قراءة which is مقبولة it is obligated upon every Muslim to believe this to be قراءة and it is upon every single person to recite this in their prayer to worship الله سبحانه وتعالى based on it and it is this type of قراءة if you reject a letter of it you're considered a disbeliever this type of قراءة which is known as قراءة which is مقبولة the قراءة which is مقبولة the قراءة which is مقبولة is a synonym of القراءة the قراءة which is مقبولة the قراءة which is مقبولة and the قراءة are the same لكن the قراءة which is مردودة rejected one which is also known as قراءة which is شادة it's rejected as a قراءة so it's not the same as a قراءة it's not the same as a قراءة because it lacks one of the three conditions we mentioned it's either not متواتر or it's not in line with the Arabic language ولو احتمال it's also not in line with رصم احد المصاحف العثماني ولو احتمال this one we don't believe it to be a quran we also don't worship Allah in prayer with this and if you do you get discipline and this is the one الامام ابن جزري رحم الله يساد وكان للرصم احتمال يحوي وصحع اثناد هو القرآن فهذه ثلاثة الأركان وحيث ما يقتل لكم الاثبتي شدوده لو أنه في سبعة يساد رحم الله فكل ما وافق احتمال احتمال احتمال احتمال احتمال ثم he said وصحع اثناد هو القرآن وره مؤ Large احتمال عدهم it and he؟ Isighs which انه يقوم بصحة الإسناد ، أنه يجب أن يكون أثندي في الفرصة وشهرة أنها مفيدة حسناً، فإنه يخطأوا هؤلاء أمينا لكن في منجد المقرئينه كتب كتب سحة الإسناد مع التواطر، كتبه كيف تقوم برصة الفرصة من فضلك؟ سأتحدث عنها بصحة الإسناد هناك مجرد ، هناك طريقة لتحدث عنها بصحة الإسناد سأتكلم عن هذه المشاهدة عندما أتكلم عن الأركان أو أكسبت الأركان في أشخاص أكثر أتكلم عن هذا فالنها هذه الأشخاص أن تكون متواترة أن تكون أن توافق اللغة العربية ولا احتمالا أن توافق رسم أحد المصاحف الأثماني ولا احتمالا هو قراءة مقبولة حيث نقل رقنة أثبيتي شوديوه لو أنه في سبعاته وإن شخص أحد of those three conditions are missing this is called قراءة مردودة إن شاء الله يتعالى answer the question which is is the Quran and the قراءات the same we say if you are saying the قراءات which are مقبولة the قراءات which are مقبولة those قراءات are is a Quran the قراءات which are مردودة the قراءات which are مردودة we do not consider that to be a Quran and إن شاء الله يتعالى I am now going to go into the second point of our segment السلام
