00:00Why was the Qur'an revealed in Arabic? What is so special about it?
00:04We know that the Qur'an was revealed through the tongue of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
00:08So he was speaking the Qur'an. How can we distinguish the difference between his own speech and the Qur'an?
00:14Why does Allah use?
00:16Sounds like Alif Lam Mim like ABC in the English language or Ta Ta Ha La Furuf Muqata'a in the beginnings of some surahs
00:23What do they mean?
00:25And then I said, okay, then the Qur'an could have been revealed in Hebrew and then I found that
00:32Because they saw that the Qur'an is different
00:35It's like a different language using the same letter set and same words of their language, but it's like a different language
00:42They don't know so it's a different formula different construction of the language
00:48Allah said
00:49كتاب أنزلناه إليك مبارك ليتدبروا آياته
00:53A blessed book that I have sent down to you, O Muhammad, so that they may ponder its signs
01:05As-salamu alaykum Sheikh, Father Suleiman
01:07Thank you for accepting us and inviting to your house even in London
01:10And we are very honored to be interviewing with you
01:13I want to start with who is Father Suleiman?
01:15And can you tell us briefly about yourself?
01:17As-salamu alaykum, thank you very much
01:20Father Suleiman is a Muslim from Egypt
01:24I live in London in the UK
01:27I'm a game developer
01:29I have four games
01:30I am a Qur'an translator
01:32I'm the director of Bridges Foundation
01:34Of course, this is not the gas station I work for
01:36This is an organization that introduces Islam to non-Muslims and to Muslims as well
01:42And also trains Muslim public speakers and presenters
01:45I'm an electronics engineer
01:47A survivor of 9-11
01:49Many things
01:50So, why was the Qur'an revealed in Arabic?
01:52What is so special about it?
01:54Okay, well, that's an amazing question
01:56That I did not find the answer for except when I studied the qiraat
02:01The qiraat are the ten modes of recitation of the Qur'an
02:05And in my opinion, it is the main miracle of the Qur'an
02:11One of the miracles of the Qur'an is the different modes of recitation
02:15And only the Arabic language
02:18Because of the diacritic marks
02:21Which is the fatha, dhamma, and so on
02:23Only the Arabic language can accept the qiraat
02:27Recently, I took a Hebrew course
02:29And I found that in Hebrew, there is also diacritic marks
02:33Like dagash and stuff like that
02:34And then I said, okay, then the Qur'an could have been revealed in Hebrew
02:39And then I found that diacritic marks were recently added to the Hebrew language
02:43By Maimonides, Moshe Ibn Maimon
02:46At the time of Salahuddin Al-Ayubi
02:48So, it's only the Arabic language that can embrace the main miracle of the Qur'an
02:56Which is the modes of recitation, the qiraat
02:59There are two main types of variations between the modes of recitation
03:04Like 70% of the variations, they are just performance
03:08They do not affect the meaning
03:10Like for example, saying al-ard or l-ard or al-ard
03:16Okay, this is just performance
03:18At the end, it just means al-ard
03:21At the end, it just means the earth
03:23But there is also some variations that affect the meaning
03:29Like for example
03:30فَتَلَقَّ آدَمُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ كَلِمَاتٍ فَتَابَعْ عَلَيْهِ
03:35فَتَلَقَّ آدَمُ
03:36Adam here is the subject
03:39But there is another qiraat
03:41Qiraat Ibn Kathir Al-Makki
03:44Imam Ibn Kathir Al-Makki
03:45It says
03:46فَتَلَقَّ آدَمَ مِنْ رَبِّهِ كَلِمَاتٌ فَتَابَعْ عَلَيْهِ
03:50The first qiraat which we usually read means
03:54Then Adam received words from his Lord and repented
03:58The second qiraat makes Adam the object
04:02And the words of the Lord the subject
04:04It means Adam was received by the words of his Lord and repented
04:10What does that mean?
04:11How can words receive a human being?
04:13It's very artistic
04:14And at the same time it affects your tarbiyah
04:17How you upbring yourself and your heart
04:20How you purify your heart and mind
04:23The first one
04:24You know Adam is our representative in the Qur'an
04:26Tells you that it is the duty of the human being
04:29To use the words of God and repent
04:31It is your duty to repent
04:33But even if you repent
04:34The second qiraat tells you
04:35Even if you repent
04:37It's not you who did it
04:38It's the words of God that received you to repent
04:41You see mind-blowing
04:43So different meanings
04:44But they do not contradict
04:46And the whole meaning is the combination of the layers of the meanings
04:52This is mind-blowing
04:53And that's what we did when we pondered the Qur'an
04:56Live during the pandemic
04:58Actually we pondered the differences of the qiraat
05:01So couldn't this be done before the Qur'an in the Arabic language?
05:05This many layers of meanings in poetry for example
05:08Well it was never done
05:10But if you want to speak about what happened before the Qur'an
05:13Before the Qur'an there was no Qur'an
05:14There was only poetry and prose
05:16And this is the main miracle of the Qur'an
05:18Before the Qur'an there were two types of Arabic language
05:21Poetry and prose
05:23Prose it's normal text
05:25When you write an article this is prose
05:28You can write
05:29Some people write like Shakespeare
05:30He wrote very eloquently
05:32Yeah
05:33But this is not poetry
05:35It's prose
05:36So either poetry or prose
05:38In any language
05:39The Qur'an was added as a different type
05:43It is neither poetry nor prose
05:44That's why in our translation of the Qur'an
05:47You will find that the unit of text is not called verse
05:51Ayah is sign
05:53Verse is the unit of text in poetry
05:55Sentence is the unit of text in prose
05:58The Qur'an is neither poetry nor prose
06:00It's a different type
06:01So what happened is when God challenged the Arabs
06:05To bring a Qur'an like it
06:07They couldn't
06:08So he gave them a discount
06:09Okay bring ten surahs
06:10They couldn't
06:11He said more discount
06:12One surah
06:13One of the surahs of the Qur'an is only ten words
06:16Surah al-Gawthar
06:17They still couldn't
06:19Actually it's not they couldn't
06:20They did not try
06:22So they did not even try
06:24They did not dare to do it
06:25Though many of them were great poets
06:28Why didn't they dare to do that?
06:30Because they saw that the Qur'an is different
06:33It's like a different language
06:34Using the same letter set and same words of their language
06:38But it's like a different language
06:40They don't know how to do that
06:42So it's a different formula
06:44Different construction of the language
06:47So you said that Allah challenged the Kuffar
06:50And also of course it's in the Qur'an
06:52And even with these new technologies
06:54Artificial intelligence
06:55No one can meet this challenge
06:57So how can this happen really?
06:59AI
07:00Artificial intelligence
07:01Does what?
07:02It uses the existing information
07:05To come up with the best solution
07:07Let's assume that
07:08Which is true to an extent
07:10So if AI existed at the time of the revelation of the Qur'an
07:15It would challenge with the existing types of Arabic language
07:21Which is poetry and prose
07:22It would have never also met the challenge by challenging the Qur'an
07:26Because the Qur'an didn't exist before
07:28You understand?
07:29So that's actually
07:30The poets of the Arabs
07:32They are like artificial intelligence
07:35Or even more intelligent when it comes to Arabic language
07:37And they did not even try to challenge
07:40It's a different language
07:41But with the same words and the same letter set
07:44So artificial intelligence cannot even meet that
07:46Okay, it's not about rhyming
07:48It's about the new
07:50Renewing formula in the language
07:53Renewing constructions
07:56Show me how can you renew something
07:58But don't quote me and tell me that you're challenging me
08:01Let someone do that
08:02No one did that
08:03Even those who tried to do something
08:05They just used the formula of the Qur'an
08:08No, the Qur'an renewed formulas
08:11Made new construction formulas
08:14Show me how can you do that
08:15You have the language
08:16Show me
08:17Why does Allah use sounds like
08:20Alif Lam Mim
08:21Like ABC
08:22In the English language
08:23Or Ta Ha La Furuf Muqatta'a
08:25In the beginnings of some surahs
08:26What do they mean?
08:27Well
08:28These separate letters
08:30That come in the beginning of 29 surahs in the Qur'an
08:36There are many opinions about it
08:39And because the Prophet s.a.w. did not tell us what it means
08:44No one can say for sure what it means
08:46But there are nice opinions that I'm going to tell you
08:49Is that it has to do with the challenge about the Qur'an
08:52Allah challenged the Arab poets
08:55And masters of the Arabic language
08:58To come up with a Qur'an like this
08:59Or ten surahs
09:00Or even one surah
09:01And they couldn't
09:02So Allah is challenging them in those surahs
09:05By starting with the same letters
09:08That they are using in their poetry
09:10And then what actually strengthens this opinion
09:15Is that nearly in many of these surahs
09:18Actually exactly 26 out of 29
09:21Allah speaks about the book
09:23About his ayat
09:24After he mentions these letters
09:27Alif La Mim
09:28Dhalika Al-Kitab Wa La Rayba Fi
09:30And so on
09:31But there are three surahs
09:32That Allah does not mention in the book
09:34Like Surat Ar-Rum
09:35Surat Al-Ankabut
09:37Surat Maryam
09:38But if you look
09:39Allah speaks about miracles
09:41Directly after the letters
09:43So the letters
09:44Not necessarily about the miracle of the Qur'an
09:47But they are about the miracles
09:49So for example
09:50In Surat Ar-Rum
09:51Alif La Mim
09:52Ghulibat Ar-Rum
09:53Ghulibat Ar-Rum
09:54Fi Adna Al-Ardi Wa Hum Min Ba'di Ghalabihim
09:57Sa Yaghlimuna Fi Bid'i Sineen
09:59It means
10:00The Romans were defeated
10:01But after their defeat
10:03They will be victorious
10:04Within
10:05Bid'i Sineen
10:06Means that less than ten years
10:08Exactly
10:09Yeah about nine years
10:10Let's say nine years
10:11Bid'i Sineen
10:12Why are you putting this
10:14Restriction
10:15If the Prophet is authoring the Qur'an
10:17Don't put that limit
10:18It's a miracle that Allah
10:20Number one
10:21Foretold a future event
10:23At a time that no one could have said that
10:25And the Prophet was just
10:27Making this Qur'an himself
10:29Or authoring the Qur'an
10:30He should have avoided saying this
10:32And if he says it
10:33He should not say within few years
10:35Because like that
10:36What if it didn't happen
10:37Actually the Qur'an says
10:38Within less than ten years
10:40The Romans were collapsing everywhere
10:42And the Persians were taking over
10:44They took over Egypt itself
10:45They took over everything
10:46From the Roman Byzantines
10:48So it's like saying
10:49At the time when the USSR is vanishing
10:52That the USSR is going to be back
10:54Within less than ten years
10:56Oh
10:57That's a big responsibility
10:59And you are risking
11:00Your
11:01Actually credibility like that
11:03Alif Lam Mim here
11:04Had to do with the
11:06This miracle
11:07Kaf Ha Ya'in Saad
11:09What comes after it?
11:11Dhikru Rabbika
11:12Dhikru Rahmati Rabbika Abidahu Zakariya
11:14It speaks about
11:15The miracle of Prophet Zakariya
11:17Having a baby
11:19While he
11:20His wife was barren
11:21And he was like
11:22A hundred years old or something
11:23Oh come on
11:24That's a miracle too
11:25And the last one is
11:26Surat Al-Ankabut
11:27Ahasiman Nasu
11:28Ayyutraku Ayyakulu Amanna
11:30Wuhum La Yuftanun
11:31Walaqad Fatanna Ladeena Min Qablihim
11:33Fala Amanna Allahu Ladeena Sadaqu
11:34Wala Amanna Kathibeen
11:35Allah speaks about
11:36The resurrection
11:38Of all human beings
11:40To be tested
11:41Actually that's a miracle
11:42This shows the might of Allah
11:43How can billions of people
11:45After death be resurrected
11:46All together at the same moment
11:48To be tested at the same moment
11:50This speaks about the mighty
11:51Might of Allah
11:53So again
11:54The 29 surahs
11:56Spoke about miracles
11:57And about the might of Allah
11:5926 of them
12:00About the Quranic miracle
12:013 of them
12:02Just about miracles
12:03For 1400 years
12:05Thousands of tafseers have been written
12:07Some of them are 80 volumes
12:09What gives this depth to the Quran?
12:11Couldn't Allah have sent us
12:13His tafseer by wahi?
12:15So for example
12:17Surah Al-Baqarah could have been like that
12:19286 ayah
12:21Descended with Jibreel
12:23And then the meaning of the difficult words
12:25By wahi also from Jibreel
12:27And then
12:29We could also have
12:31Lessons from the surah
12:33By wahi from Allah through Jibreel
12:35We can also have some exercises
12:36Fill in the blanks
12:37Also by wahi with Jibreel
12:39Don't you think the Quran could have been
12:41Much more clear?
12:43Definitely
12:44It could have been 1 million times clearer than that
12:46But
12:47There's only one problem
12:48We will read it once
12:50And read the explanation by Allah once
12:52And fill in the blanks
12:54Finish the exercises
12:55Give me something else to read
12:57But this style of the Quran
12:59Is sent by Allah
13:01To people who are different
13:03In the way they think
13:04Because our minds differ
13:06And everyone of us can jump
13:08And dive
13:10And come up with some pearls
13:12And you jump
13:14And you come up with something else
13:16And it keeps talking to our hearts
13:18I'll tell you something
13:20Any book in the world
13:21Is suitable for a certain level of education
13:23For a certain age
13:25The Quran is the only book that is suitable
13:27For all ages
13:29And for all level of education
13:31A very uneducated person
13:33Or we can say
13:35Even an illiterate person
13:37Who just hears it
13:39Benefits from it
13:40And likes it
13:41And someone who holds 5 PhDs
13:43Also read it
13:45And benefit from it
13:46Any other book, no
13:47So we know that
13:49The Quran was revealed through the tongue
13:51Of the Prophet Muhammad
13:53So he was speaking the Quran
13:55So how can we distinguish the difference
13:57Between his own speech
13:59And the Quran
14:01What are the differences between them
14:03Actually, one of the ways
14:05Of proving that the Quran
14:07Is not the word of Prophet Muhammad
14:09Is that
14:11You know what
14:13If I find a book that doesn't have a cover
14:15And the cover is lost
14:17If I know the author of this book
14:19By reading the style of how the book is written
14:21I can tell you, listen
14:23This is the style of Shakespeare
14:25This is probably written by Shakespeare
14:27Prophet Muhammad, his style is known
14:29It is the Sunnah
14:31It is the thousands of hadith
14:33That are narrated
14:35This is his style
14:37He learned things
14:39Wisdom, and he gave it to us
14:41Verbally, this is his style
14:43But the Quran is a completely different style
14:45Any child, any Arab child
14:47Can tell you the difference
14:49Or any child who knows Arabic, to be accurate
14:51Can tell you the difference between the Quran
14:53And the Sunnah
14:55They are completely different styles
14:57No one can talk in a completely different style like that
14:59So the style of Prophet Muhammad
15:01Is expressed in the Sunnah
15:03And the Quran is only by Allah
15:05And the Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sallam
15:07Was so truthful
15:09To the extent that when Allah told him
15:11To tell us something, he said
15:13Tell them
15:15Say
15:17He is Allah, the uniquely one
15:19He didn't say, he is Allah, the uniquely one
15:21No, he said, say
15:23Even the imperative verb
15:25The command of Allah
15:27Was given to us by him
15:29Because he was so truthful
15:31He doesn't have the right
15:33To omit one word
15:35And there are things in the Quran
15:37That could have been
15:39Actually omitted
15:41If it is his own handiwork
15:43I am right now, by the way, preparing
15:45A reply to an Australian bishop
15:47That attacked Prophet Muhammad recently
15:49And he said that
15:51It's about Jesus that says he is
15:53Ruhullah wa Kalimatullah
15:55You know, the spirit of Allah and the word of Allah
15:57He is actually copied from John
15:59From the Gospel of John
16:01And I'm telling him
16:03Thank you so much for giving me another proof
16:05Because if it's
16:07Prophet Muhammad's decision
16:09What to put in the Quran, what not
16:11Why would he actually
16:13Copy from the Gospel something
16:15That sounds exactly the opposite
16:17Of his teachings, that Jesus is not
16:19God and he's not the son of God
16:21He should have stayed away
16:23From something that may sound like that
16:25And that's why we keep explaining
16:27What the word of God means
16:29And there are several words of God
16:31Like for example
16:33The word of God means miracle
16:35So Adam was considered a word of God
16:37And Jesus was considered a word of God
16:39So it's not only one word
16:41Actually there are words of God
16:43That are infinite
16:45God said that had the ocean been ink
16:47It could have exhausted
16:49Even seven oceans with it
16:51Before the words of God
16:53Run out
16:55So there are words of God, not only Jesus
16:57But Prophet Muhammad could have
16:59Stayed away from this
17:01That would create some issues
17:03So that's the issue
17:05Prophet Muhammad did not have any role
17:07In choosing what to say
17:09And what not
17:11And many ayahs were actually
17:13Doing tarbiyah for Prophet Muhammad
17:15Actually this ayah is a message to us
17:17He is telling us
17:19Because Allah is telling him
17:29So Allah is actually
17:31Blaming Prophet Muhammad
17:33For giving more attention
17:35To the leaders of the kuffar
17:37Over a blind believer
17:39If you think about it
17:41What the Prophet did is very logical
17:43Because it's a very important meeting
17:45Had the Prophet Muhammad
17:47Succeed in convincing the leaders
17:49Of the kuffar
17:51There could have been no badr or uhud
17:53Or no one dying
17:55It's very logical what he did
17:57But Allah is telling him
17:59The weakest companion is dearer to Allah
18:01And more important for Allah
18:03Than all those disbelievers
18:05So give more attention
18:07It's like Allah is sending us a love message
18:09I love you and I am telling your Prophet
18:11More than he cares about
18:13Convincing non-believers, amazing
18:15It's like messages of love
18:17So how does
18:19Why does Allah use we
18:21For himself in the Quran
18:23It's the royal we, one of the names of Allah
18:25Is Al Malik, the king
18:27When the king speaks he says
18:29We the king of England
18:31Are opening the museum
18:33Allah is the king, the real king
18:35So it's called the royal we
18:37In English the royal we, it exists in every language by the way
18:39So it doesn't mean that Allah is more than one
18:41It's only one definitely
18:43But he is Al Malik
18:45And he can speak in this form also
18:47Allah shifts to ana
18:49To I
18:51When he speaks about
18:53Himself
18:55As that
18:57And speaks about Tawheed
18:59But he goes to
19:01Nahnu, khalaqnakum
19:03Speak with the royal we
19:05When he speaks about his might
19:07His mightiness
19:09His ability to do things
19:11Inni ana rabbuka
19:13Inni ana Allah
19:15When he speaks about himself, about Tawheed
19:17Meaning that there is no lord, no god except him
19:19Because there cannot be two gods
19:21There cannot
19:23But the issue is why not
19:25Because if there is more than one god
19:27Then this means that either both of them
19:29Cannot do everything
19:31And like that none of them is god
19:33Or one of them is not needed
19:35And this makes him not god
19:37How can a book that was revealed 1400 years ago
19:39In Arabia appeal to this day and age
19:41Do you believe that the Quran
19:43Is universal and timeless
19:45Well that's the miracle of the Quran
19:47I told you that
19:49Every book has
19:51A certain level
19:53That it is suitable for
19:55So even you know children books
19:57It says this is 3+, this is 7+, this is 12+,
19:59So a 3 year old will not benefit
20:01From a book for a 12 year old
20:03Of course a PhD holder
20:05Will not benefit from a 3 year old book
20:07The Quran is the only book
20:09That is suitable for all ages
20:11And for all levels of education
20:13And that's the miracle of it
20:15But the problem is when we don't use it properly
20:17The Quran is a medication
20:19Allah said
20:21وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
20:23And we descend from the Quran
20:25What is a shifa
20:27What is a cure for the believer
20:29So it's a medication
20:31We know people who memorize the whole Quran
20:33And it did not help them
20:35They have the grudges
20:37They have hasad, they have envy
20:39They have hatred
20:41Some of them even supported
20:43You know treason
20:45Supported inqilabat and so on
20:47Ok why did this happen
20:49Because they were using it like this guy the wrong way
20:51Allah said
20:53كِتَابٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَارَكٌ لِيَتْدَبَّرُوا آيَتِهُ
20:55A blessed book that I have sent down to you
20:57O Muhammad
20:59So that they may ponder
21:01Its signs
21:03If you don't ponder the Quran
21:05It's not going to help you
21:07Go memorize it all it's not going to help you
21:09I actually
21:11Do counseling for atheists
21:13Nearly half of the
21:15Cases I have
21:17Are memorizers of the whole Quran
21:19Yeah it didn't help them why
21:21It's just memorizing not understanding
21:23Which ayah of the Quran has impressed you the most
21:25In terms of balagha eloquence
21:27The whole of the Quran
21:29Is eloquent and is amazing
21:31But again it comes back to the qiraat
21:33When I find
21:35That the difference of the qiraat
21:37Can give you four
21:39Different meanings in one ayah
21:41And you put them as layers of the meaning
21:43And it gives you a big meaning
21:45That could have not been expressed
21:47Except if you add
21:49A whole page to the Quran
21:51Listen to this
21:53This ayah has four different ways
21:55Quran was speaking
21:57To the al-mala
21:59To his assistants
22:01And he's telling them
22:03Allow me to kill Moses
22:09I'm afraid
22:11That he may change your religion
22:13Or he may
22:15Make corruption appear on earth
22:17In the land not earth land
22:19Because here al-ard is the country
22:21It has four different ways
22:23It can be
22:29I'm afraid that he may change
22:31Your religion or
22:33Corruption would appear
22:35But this one doesn't say that
22:37Moses will make it appear
22:43And corruption will appear
22:45And there is
22:49I'm afraid that he will do this
22:51Not or
22:53What does that mean?
22:55And why didn't he kill him?
22:57Nothing tells you in the Quran except the qiraat
22:59If you understand those four meanings
23:01And you put them as layers over each other
23:03They mean what?
23:05They mean that the meeting started by
23:07Allow me to kill this guy
23:09And then they said
23:11Let's brainstorm together
23:13And in a long meeting
23:15They have put every single possibility
23:17That can happen
23:19I'm afraid that
23:21No, he should not be killed
23:23He should be challenged and embarrassed
23:25Send and bring
23:27Whatever
23:29Sorcerers, magicians
23:31You can never understand this
23:33Except if the Quran added
23:35One whole page
23:37Telling you
23:39They found this option and this option
23:41This possibility and this possibility
23:43Four possibilities could have happened
23:45And then they found that this is omitted
23:47And you will not understand it
23:49Except if you understand the qiraat
23:51I'm telling you the day I went to understand the qiraat
23:53I had good understanding of the Quran
23:55So my sheikh told me
23:57Listen, forget all
23:59What you have is only one face
24:01One dimension
24:03Now you came to read
24:05But of course here some people say
24:07Doesn't this make the Quran difficult?
24:09Yeah, why do you want the word of Allah
24:11To be very simple?
24:13Every book was written in this world
24:15For the world to read it
24:17But this book descended upon the world
24:19From outside the world
24:21For the world to read it
24:23It's not simple
24:25It's not a normal book
24:27Can you name one ayah from the Quran
24:29That made you 100% convinced
24:31That this cannot be a word of a human being
24:33The one that mesmerizes you the most
24:35I'll tell you something that affected me a lot
24:37And an incident that happened to me
24:39That proved to me
24:41That the Quran is not
24:43Ink on paper
24:45Is a living being
24:47So which one do you want to start with?
24:49I'll start with this incident
24:51Before coming to this house
24:53I lived in the 36th floor
24:55In a building in East London
24:57That oversees
24:59The Olympic Village
25:01And it sees all of London
25:03It's very panoramic
25:05There isn't one brick in this building
25:07It's all glass from everywhere
25:09So I want you to imagine
25:11The moment on the 31st of December
25:13With all the fireworks
25:15Of the new year
25:17It looks amazing from everywhere
25:19It's amazing
25:21I attended that like 3 times
25:23I lived there for 4 years
25:25And the 4th year
25:27I had an idea that
25:29Ok well you have seen that before
25:313 times
25:33It's beautiful but you have seen it
25:35You took even videos
25:37Why don't you do something different this year
25:39It's very few
25:41Most people are watching the fireworks
25:43And some people are dancing and clubbing and drunk
25:45Why don't you become one of the few people
25:47Who will be worshipping at this moment
25:49Ok that's a good idea
25:51I put down all the shades
25:53I darkened
25:55I turned off all the lights
25:57And I turned on the Quran app on iPad
25:59And I put it in front of me
26:01And I started doing Qiyamul Layl
26:03Beautiful at 11.30
26:0510 minutes before 12
26:07Reciting the Quran
26:09And then the explosions
26:11Of the fireworks were so loud
26:13And still there are some colors
26:15Coming from between the shades
26:17Yellow, blue
26:19It became very tempting for me
26:21That I'm losing a lot
26:23I'm missing a lot
26:25So I said to myself
26:27It's not haram
26:29At the end of this ayah
26:31Just say Allahu Akbar
26:33And go watch
26:35And come back and pray until Fajr
26:37You'll do both
26:39I said ok let me finish this ayah
26:41And say Allahu Akbar
26:43You know how the ayah finished
26:45The ayah ended like that
26:47Say Allah
26:49And leave them
26:51In whatever they are
26:53Busy playing
26:55I'm sorry
26:57This is not a coincidence
26:59Out of 6234 ayahs
27:01This is not a coincidence
27:03This is a living being
27:05That talks to you
27:07And it's just you need to
27:09Establish a relationship with it
27:11It's going to talk to you
27:13It's about the Quran dealing with your
27:15With your feelings
27:17I'll tell you another ayah
27:19That affected me a lot
27:21And it's an ayah that I love so much
27:23And I recite nearly
27:25In every prayer
27:27It is an ayah in Surah Al-Imran
27:29You give the kingdom to whoever you want
27:31And you take the kingdom from whoever you want
27:33And you honor whoever you want
27:35And you humiliate whoever you want
27:37With your good hand you are capable of everything
27:41At a certain night
27:43It was the night when
27:45Actually someone
27:47That I don't like
27:49Became a ruler
27:51In a country
27:53And I think that he took
27:55The rule there
27:57And unjustly
27:59After an inqilab and stuff like that
28:01I really wasn't feeling good that night
28:03And I went to pray in the mosque
28:05And the imam didn't come
28:07So they pushed me to lead the prayer
28:09So reciting this ayah
28:11I felt like I'm reciting it for the first time in my life
28:13I never noticed this
28:15Listen
28:17Say O Allah
28:19The owner of the authority or the dominion
28:21The owner of authority
28:23You give authority to whoever you will
28:25And you take authority from whoever you will
28:27And you honor whoever you will
28:29And you humiliate whoever you will
28:31Excuse me
28:33Why four times whoever you will
28:35The Quran should be more concise
28:37The Quran is concise
28:39Why didn't Allah say it like that
28:41Say O Allah
28:43Owner of authority
28:45You give authority and honor whoever you will
28:47And you take authority
28:49And humiliate whoever you will
28:51We could have saved two whoever you wills
28:53But he didn't say so
28:55Why? He didn't link authority
28:57With honor
28:59Or humiliation
29:01So Allah can give authority to someone
29:03And humiliate him when he is in authority
29:05And Allah can take authority from someone
29:07And then honor him after authority was taken from him
29:09You see the beauty here
29:11It's mind blowing
29:13And you know what I read it like 10,000 times before
29:15And I never understood it like that
29:17Except when I was in a certain psychological status
29:19And I understood it
29:21This is mind blowing
