00:00My name is Shahid and I am a student of Computer and Accounts.
00:07Recently, I have turned towards the Qur'an and I am trying to understand it.
00:16But a strange thing is that there is so much matter to understand the Qur'an
00:26that I am not able to understand its fundamental principles.
00:30How should I understand it? How should I understand it stepwise?
00:35Should I look at it? Should I understand it from the Ahadith? Or how?
00:41Because even if we pick up the Ahadith and read them,
00:45some scholars say that some of the Ahadith are weak or beautiful.
00:51Or it was meant for a specific time.
00:55So, a strange thing happens in the mind that what should a person do?
01:01How should he try to understand it?
01:05So that he comes to a straight path,
01:07so that he can walk on the fundamental teachings of the Qur'an
01:11and attain less but perfect knowledge.
01:14You have turned towards the Qur'an.
01:16You have paid attention to it.
01:18Consider it to be a great blessing from Allah.
01:21And when it is a blessing from Allah,
01:23then you should be thankful to Allah.
01:27I am telling you a strange thing.
01:30Maybe you will find it very new.
01:34Read the Qur'an as Baddu used to read it.
01:39Baddu was neither a philosopher, nor a theologian, nor a scientist,
01:46nor did he have Ahadith.
01:50Nor did he have Fiqh.
01:53What was it?
01:55The Arabic language.
01:57It was his own language.
01:59So, to understand the Qur'an,
02:03it is necessary to know the Arabic language.
02:07Then, understand the Qur'anic text as the real thing.
02:11However, this is the first stage of contemplation on the Qur'an,
02:15of thinking on the Qur'an, of thinking on the Qur'an.
02:18After this, we will come to the next stages.
02:21From this Qur'an, the laws will be derived.
02:24There are some incidents in the Qur'an,
02:27which have a historical status.
02:29Now, if there is any disagreement in the details of that incident,
02:32then there is no solution.
02:34Now, I will give an example,
02:36that I will say a few sentences here in front of you.
02:39And then, after 10 minutes,
02:41if you are asked,
02:43then every person will say it.
02:45The answer that I will give will be different.
02:47In that, his own words will also be included.
02:49And even while listening to me,
02:51his subjective mind will be present at that time.
02:55He will get some result from that,
02:57in reference to his subjective mind.
02:59He will state.
03:01So, in these things, if there is any disagreement in the Ahadith,
03:04then there is no need to worry about it.
03:06Now, in our Friday meetings,
03:08the Hadith of Gabriel,
03:10which is called the Ummah of Sunnah,
03:12like Surah Al-Fatiha is the Ummah of the Qur'an,
03:14such is the Hadith of Gabriel,
03:16which is the Ummah of Sunnah.
03:18The root of Sunnah and Ummah.
03:20Now, the narrations that have come in it,
03:22there is a difference in different words.
03:24The essence is the same, the meaning is the same.
03:26There is a big difference in the words,
03:28there is a difference in the details.
03:30So, in this regard, there is no need to worry about it.
03:32Then, there is a difference in the jurisprudential matters,
03:34which is also natural and non-natural.
03:36You know that there is only one case.
03:38Eight judges are sitting on a bench.
03:40The decision of five is one,
03:42the decision of three is one.
03:44Now, there can be more divisions.
03:46The law is the same,
03:48and I am talking about the Supreme Court or the High Court.
03:50The obvious thing there is that
03:52no new statements are taken.
03:54Whatever file is there,
03:56it has already been prepared,
03:58there is only debate on it.
04:00That is why it is refuted.
04:02The meaning is the same,
04:04there can be no change in it.
04:06There is no new testimony at that time.
04:08So, in this regard,
04:10there is no need to worry about these things.
04:12I have already told you that
04:14you should look at all these additional things temporarily.
04:20First, read the Qur'an as Bandhu used to read.
04:24And the same thing is that
04:26the way Bandhu has been motivated,
04:28Bandhu means,
04:30I am generally referring to the Companions,
04:32this is not an insult to them.
04:36I am saying that
04:38those people were not philosophers.
04:40They were not educated people.
04:42In fact, this is the name of the Ummah.
04:44The uneducated people.
04:46The unlettered ones.
04:48This is the glory of the Prophet.
04:50They are uneducated.
04:52So, the way they have understood the Qur'an,
04:54that is the best way to understand the Qur'an.
04:58And that is the real motivation
05:00that they put their body,
05:02mind, money, everything for the religion of Allah,
05:04and won the religion of Allah.
05:06After reading the debates,
05:08and after reading the details,
05:10and after removing the skin of the hair,
05:12and after analyzing the logic,
05:14and after reading the interpretations of the hadiths,
05:18there will be an increase in knowledge.
05:20But that inspiration and motivation
05:22will not remain in it.
