 My beloved brothers and sisters, Insha'Allah, I'm going to be speaking about the third shubha, the third doubts, the enemies of al-Islam, the orientalists, the missionaries, the non-Muslims in general have bought regarding the preservation of the Quran, the preservation of the Quran. In this episode, I want to speak about the doubt in which they have said, or the doubt that they brought forward saying that the Quran or the Qiraat, there is contradiction in it. There is contradiction between some of the Qiraat. They are saying that these two Qiraat are polar opposites. They cannot be reconciled. There's no way to bring them together. There is no possible way to reconcile between these two meanings. That's their argument. We Muslims, we believe there is variation and differences in the Qiraat and the meanings are different. Muslims are not denying it, but what they're saying is there's no contradiction. Maybe one verse is given an extra meaning to what this verse isn't, but to say they're contradicting each other, that one is affirming something and the other one is negating it. There is nothing like that in the Qiraat. So they said, yes, there is. Let us give you an example. An example they gave is They said, this Qiraat that you just read of the Rahman is a recitation, a Qiraat which is Mutawater, mass transmission, the seven Quraat already like that. But they said there's another Qiraat, read by Ali and other companions, which says And the two Qiraat that we have, are contradicting one another. How are they contradicting one another? They're contradicting one another. The first Qiraat, which you've recited, says The Romans, the Basantin Empire has been defeated. In the nearest land, and after they defeat the Roman or the Basantin Empire will then defeat its enemy. That's what you recited. That's your recitation, Abdulrahman, that you recited, which is the Qiraat of the Quraat of the seven Quraat. But the Qiraat that we also have from Ali and other noble companions says The Roman or the Basantin Empire defeated its enemy And in the nearest land, they will surely be defeated. Opposite to what you just said. In the first verse, it's suggesting that the Romans will be defeated and then the Romans will then defeat. The one we gave you, or the Qiraat that we're telling you now, it's saying that the Romans, they defeated. And after a period of time, the Romans will then be defeated. Or the Basantin Empire will be defeated. The Romans are an empire that existed at the time of the Prophet, A.S. Their main capital was in Constantinople, modern-day Istanbul, Turkey. That was the capital for them. Islam destroyed and annihilated the empire. And as you can see today, Turkey is a Muslim country. What's the response to this? What is the response to this Shubha? The response is in the following way. Arraddo min wujoo. Number one, the Qiraat that we recited, which is This is the Qiraat which is It's an accepted recitation. As for the recitation that they brought forward is a recitation which is Because it's a recitation which is It's a recitation which is So there can't be a contradiction between a Qiraat Or there should not be a contention There should not be a conflict between a Qiraat which is A Qiraat which is accepted and one that's rejected. That's the first response. The second response is we are able to reconcile between the two. There isn't actually even a conflict in terms of meaning. There is not. The first Qiraat, of course, the one we recited Ghulibat-e-Rub and then Sayyag-e-Libul This Qiraat, of course, it's talking about The Romans will win and defeat the Persians In a short period of time, okay In a very short period of time Ghulibat-e-Rub, the Romans will be defeated before And now the Romans will then defeat the Persians Empire in a short period of time That's what the first recitation says And that's what happened Also, the time that the Romans beat the Persians Correlated to the time that the Muslims beat the Kufar-e-Quraish And as you know, the Romans, they were Christians So they were holding onto a book And the Persians were Zoroastrians They didn't have a scripture or a book The Muslims, on the other hand, have a religion From Allah Azza wa Jalla Which is Haq and there's no other religion which is Haq other than Islam Whereas Kufar-e-Quraish had no scripture They were not holding onto a scripture They were idol worshippers So it resembled one another from that perspective That's what the first Qiraat is talking about The second Qiraat is talking about when it says Ghulibat-e-Rub and then Sayyag-e-Libul Is referring to that the Romans Ghulibat-e-Rum here means the Romans beat Saud-e-Sham The people of Sham The people of Lavant Which historically happened And it was then given the believers Sayyag-e-Libul and the Romans will then be defeated It was telling the believers that you guys are going to beat the Romans And you guys are going to defeat the Romans And if you look at the Islamic history In the 19th century From the Hijrah The 9th year of the Hijrah The companions, may Allah be pleased with them They defeated some of the Romans Took some of their lands from them So there are two recitations we were able to reconcile Between it And the second answer that we also gave is that One Qiraat is Shad And the other Qiraat is Mutawater One Qiraat is accepted And another recitation is rejected And the scholars They mentioned that the differences in the Quran are two types Okay The scholars mentioned The scholars they mentioned That the differences are two types That are generally found The scholars they speak about it Ibn Qutayb mentions it in his works That the The differences are two types The differences are two types The differences are two types There are variations But there are ways to bring them together They complement one another The Quran's differences are The differences are two types The Quran does not have in it The Qiraat is not Which is recitations That cannot be brought together That contradict one another It's not Shaykh al-Islam ibn Teyma He said There is no difference amongst the scholars There is no difference amongst the Muslims And the seven dialects And seven modes of recitation Which the Quran was sent down on It doesn't have any contradiction in meaning And those recitations do not contradict one another Sometimes the wordings are actually the same Like They're the same And sometimes there may be slight differences In the meaning But they are close in meaning Both meanings are very close Both meanings are very close You're not going to find In the Qiraat of the Quran They don't contradict one another Because they are from Allah If the Quran was to come from other Then it would have contained in it And it would have had in it Contradiction So Alhamdulillah in this episode We have destroyed the doubt and shubha Which they brought forward saying That there is tanakuf Anything which I have said That was wrong but incorrect is from me And Shaytan and Allah and his messenger Are both free from it I'll see you guys in the next episode May Allah be with you for listening And may Allah be with you Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu How can you do a two second action Right now that will give you a share of the reward Of everything we're doing on this YouTube channel Simple Like this video and click subscribe Why?
