do you w to know what makes grow then
everybody watch Dean
show alhamdulillah Alum peace be unto
you we are here with Dr Muhammad MDU the
former Professor from the John Hopkins
University and you can read a little bit
more about him at theen show.com he has
his own section there and we're
continuing on talking about the verbatim
word of God now in previous episodes we
talked about the compilation of the
Quran we're going to talk about some of
the Miracles of this Quran the verbatim
word of the one who created us the one
who gave us life who give us death who
we're going to have to return back to
the one who's going to judge us and at
the end if we do everything that he's
told us to do if we live by this Quran
and we have the beautiful reward of
paradise if we don't then you're smart
enough to figure out what is opposite to
that so let's talk when we come back
more about the Quran you don't want to
go
nowhere
I don't know why I did that maybe maybe
it's just to break the
ice how are you alhamdulillah wonderful
how about you alhamdulillah thank you
for being with us again thank you for
husting me thank you listen we we uh we
talked about and we're continue to talk
about something that is a guidance for
the whole of mankind the verbatim word
of the creator of the heavens and earth
Earth in Arabic we say Allah in previous
episodes we talked about the compilation
of the Quran in this episode we want to
talk about some of the Miracles but
before we go on to that can you just
summarize a little bit about what we
discussed in the previous episodes about
the Quran okay uh the the we said that
first of all Allah subhana T confirmed
in the Quran that he will keep the Quran
safe
unchanged and Allah fulfilled his
promise as he always does his promise
and alhamd we have the proof now if you
go everywhere in the world on the
mountains of Suzuki of Japan yeah or in
The Valleys of Jakarta or if you go to
Arizona if you go to any place in the
world if there are people on the moon it
be the same thing of course there are
people there of course there were some
people who were there yeah and you will
find the same copy of the Quran nothing
different nothing different mhm had
there been let me raise this question
for everyone one who would really love
to have reflection upon had there been
two copies at the time of the Prophet
sallallah wasallam or even at the time
of the companions they would have P
these two copies nowadays we don't know
any single copy that's different from
the other it's the same Quran that and
this is an example that you can see in
Mecca when at least half a million
people praying behind the Imam Mecca and
if he makes a mistake everybody
in the mid would respond to correct him
so that's that just for our non-muslim
audience if the Quran is something that
we we recite during the prayer yes
absolutely so if he makes a mistake
somebody from the back is going to
correct him yeah if it is a woman and
that's why if she can make a sign like
that to correct him that means he made a
mistake nobody has Authority on the
Quran nobody has full control on the
Quran in terms of that he can make any
change this among the Muslim and you can
see that there is nowhere in in the
world that you would find somebody is
reading something different mhm this
this is the power as I said that in the
previous time that there are
approximately more than 9 million people
who memorize the Quran from cover to
cover and this number is increasing day
after day and I assume that they are
exceeding more than uh 10 million
nowadays everywhere in the world and
every Muslim and Muslim memorizes part
of the Quran because this is the portion
that we use in our daily prayer but I'm
not talking about those every Muslim
memorizes part of it but I'm talking
about those who memorize it from cover
to cover 604 Pages we have at least 10
million people on the Earth will
memorize it and that's why Muslims are
proud to say that if some invention that
happens in this world that somebody
invented a material to erase all the
writings from the books if we happens
that we open all the books in our life
and we find them blank all the ink all
the printing had been erased Muslim
would say that in just few days in every
village and in every city in the world
the Quran can be Rewritten as it was the
only book that can be Rewritten as it
was is the Quran that's enough right
there to just have someone reflect and
say hold on any someone wants to bring
any arguments this is something that
puts everything to there's no other
scripture right
now no other book and no other
Constitution no other thing like that
nothing absolutely so tell us now what
does the creator of the heavens and
earth yeah in Arabic we say Allah thises
the same God of Jesus mes abrah
everything yeah tell us through this
Quran he says this is a guidance for
mankind absolutely what does this mean
what does he want from us yeah said that
in our life we Face some issues and some
problems and some situations that we
need guidance we don't know what to do
in every sit situation we don't know
what's right and what's wrong what to
drink what to eat what not to drink what
to not to eat how to do how to deal with
your parents what rights do your parents
have upon you what rights your spouse
has upon you what rights do your
children have upon you what rights the
ruler or the governor of your country
has upon you everyone how can you answer
this question and you will find a lot of
people are making some suggestions and
some options with all the investment and
all the investigation and all the
research and they come up with things
and they experiment with that mhm now we
have it already made Divine s to us from
the Quran it it just guides you to the
right thing from the very beginning in
the Quran that you would see that now
let me talk about this little bit how
the Quran is different from other books
in the
world whether they are man-made written
books or some books that are claimed by
the people who believe in them that they
are Divine books you can see the
difference when you see the Quran first
of all the Quran as defined by the
Muslim has is the
summary of the history of humanity mhm
since the creation of the pen that Allah
subh commanded it to write until the end
of the world then the day of judgment
and the resurrection and what will
happen in in the future yes there's no
other book in the whole world that
covers this span of
time no other book just compare it with
any other book with all these details
that's going to happen that are going to
happen on the day of judgment and in
paradise and in Hellfire with all these
details there is nothing is in
comparison with the Quran nothing is
comparable to the Quran so now you find
and and and and this Quran that sums up
the history of
humanity is summed up in the beginning
chapter which is called the opening
which is called Alat the opening the
mother of the book it's called the
mother of the book if you don't mind can
can you we're going to give the
translation but can you just take a and
recite this in the Arabic can you do
that of course go ahead please
[Music]
okay
[Music]
alhamdulillah
[Music]
for
[Music]
beautiful masallah Mah same way it was
recited then it's recited today by your
mouth absolutely by my mouth but every
Muslim would reide this no muslim on the
earth who you go to China if you don't
speak Chinese if you're in prayer you
can know in Arabic and and people saw
how beautiful with the translation we
just gave him this is directing all
worship to the Creator see guidance from
absolutely from the very beginning if I
have the time to elaborate on this and
we can do this in after the break yeah
that's it we're going to take a break
and we'll be right back with Dr Mandu on
The Dean show you have to pray as if
everything depends on Allah and it does
but you must work as if everything
depends on you and it doesn't that's my
point you see what I'm saying and I
don't like that I don't like a c here
what are you waiting for what are we
waiting for right now what are we
waiting for all these people to come to
Islam what are we waiting for what are
we waiting for right now when they going
to come they're going to come going
bring these people Allah subhana put in
our hand the ability to do it now do
your
[Music]
job Salam
alikum back here on the dean show please
continue on talking about the miraculous
Quran yeah let me let me at on this
opening chapter yeah just very limited
number of verses so the beginning of it
it says
alhamdulillah which means all praise is
due to Almighty Allah that's the creator
of the heavens and earth Absol creator
of Jesus Moses Abraham one who created
the Sun and the Moon that's the God now
this is the one yeah you see this verse
four four
words
alhamd lillah for Allah praise is for
Allah the
lord of the
worlds now look at this word four words
you can never ever find any four words
in any language in the world put beside
each other to make this comprehensive
meaning let me elaborate first of all
alhamdu all praise is due to Almighty
Allah person would say that you're
thinking
someone before you know him
mhm this may raise a question in the
minds of many people how do you thank
someone who don't you don't know him and
this is a very legitimate question very
good logical
question and the answer is if you
reflect upon what is around you and
what's in you and you see the heavens
you see the skies and you see the trees
and you see the rivers and you see the
mountains and you see the Milky Way and
you see the planets and you see the
galaxies and you see all
this you immediately say that there is a
creator for them when you look into
yourself the organs in yourself the
hands that move the eyes that see the
ears that listens the heart that moves
the three trillion living cells in your
body you would immediately say there's a
Creator and you need to thank him for
all these blessings for the water you
drink for the oxygen that you inhale for
everything that you have for the eyes
that help you see what's around you and
for everything immediately you realize
that there is a Creator and the first
thing that you need to know you need to
thank him for everything that you have
because without him how can you enjoy
this life not at all how can even you
exist in this life without him so that's
why the first word is alhamdulillah and
you cannot imagine the comfort that
comes to the heart of a human being who
believes in that when he says
alhamdulillah that's why even you find
Muslims when they confront calamities
and disasters and crisis in this world
and when you ask them how are you they
would say
alhamdulillah even he had lost his job
had lost his house his farm was burned
anything any calamity any situation he
would say alhamdulillah and as in some
cultures they say it it could have been
worse yeah they know that so now he
deserves alham and who is he Allah they
said alhamdulillah all praise is due to
Almighty Allah and the word Allah is so
unique it's first it's the proper noun
the proper name of Almighty Allah his
name my name is m muhamad your name is
Eddie his name is Hassan Airi and his
name the Lord the name of the Lord is
Allah and this word
Allah includes all the attributes of
Almighty Allah the 99 names and
beautiful names and attributes of Allah
are embedded in this word mhm so you can
imagine how comprehensive this the
merciful the most merciful the most
compassionate the all knowing the all
hearing the all wise the most wise and
with all these are embedded in the word
Allah you can see how comprehensive the
the meaning is and then what is the
definition of this is now one name of
Allah and the other attribute that's
mentioned here in name
is he is the lord of the world he is the
lord of the Muslims he's the lord of the
Christians he's the lord of the Jews
he's the lord of the Hindus he's the
Lord of All Humans he's the Lord of all
animals he's the Lord of all planets
he's the lord of the oxygen he's the
lord of the rivers he's the lord of the
trees he's the Lord of
everything and now when you say this
that he's the Lord of all the worlds the
world of humans the world of energy the
world of atoms the world of everything
he is the Lord of all
that immediately there's an impact on
your heart immediately you would say
this is the one that I have been looking
for
mhm is not the lord of the Hindus he not
the lord of the Christians he not just
the lord of the Muslims he's the Lord of
all the world MH there is nothing
greater than him and this is become so
beautiful when you hear the word
allahar God is greater and you see from
this linguistic comparative it's called
comparative degree he's greater and the
sentence seems that it's not complete
but it is complete he's greater than
anything else that you can think
anything that you can or imagine he's
greater than all of them he's greater
than all of them that's why Allah is
greater and some people would even
translate it is the greatest but we love
to hear because it's in Arabic it's
comparative it says that Allah is
greater greater than anything that you
may think of so is it out of his love
and mercy that he sent this Quran as a
guidance absolutely and even after the
the the the uh opening of the book the
first chapter defines the book that this
is a book of guidance but before it says
it the book of guidance it has another
statement before this it says that this
book there is no doubt in it there is no
error in it there is no flaw in it there
is no mistake in it there's no
skepticism in it from the very beginning
it tells you before you read yes and by
the way these words in the beginning
says they are five words in Arabic yeah
that this book there's no doubt in
it if you compare it with the books in
the world with the 35 million books and
items that are on the shelves of the
Library of
Congress you would find nothing similar
to this nobody dares to say that his
book has no error in it or no doubt in
it no one usually the author is doing
the opposite forgive me if I made a
mistake here absolutely and they said
that this to the best of my ability and
as authors and as writers know that the
first thing that you fear that once you
finish writing the book and it is
printed you start being showered by
phone calls and by emails and and people
finding some comments and some flows and
some mistakes in your writing you say
that I wish I couldn't have written it's
too late now it's it's too late it's so
even I know of a person himself in the
Virginia area that who became a Muslim
because of these words mhm that this
book has no doubt in
it he said
immediately this book should be the book
of The Creator and his friends asked
asked him it's too quick and too hasty
to make this question to make this
conclusion and he said
no I have read approximately 200 books
some of them are called Divine books and
some of them are man-made books and he
said that I've never found somebody
saying in his book that his book has no
doubt or no scism in it that's profound
that can only be from the Creator H if
somebody he said this is exactly his
words he said if somebody dares to say
that his book has no flaw in it has no
skepticism in it has no doubt in it has
no mistake in it he should be only the
Creator m in this way alhamdulillah he
became a Muslim and this is another sign
that this book is guidance for people
you see the effect of these words just
five
words and what's more more more striking
Allah subhana wa tala himself called
these verses in the Quran called them
aat aat in Arabic means proof and
evidence
that means that every Ayah every
verse every one or two three words
together in the Quran that composes a
verse is a sign is a proof that it is
from God and it's not from someone else
that's what it actually means in the
Arabic exactly Pro evidence proof and
evidence this is the meaning of the word
Ayah that's why Allah called these
verses
proofs that means proofs from Almighty
Allah
and as I told you earlier that Allah
subh T asked people to challenge the
Quran just Allah is not challenging them
but Allah is guiding people is guiding
people to think and reflect upon the
Quran can we make something similar to
it if you can so it's no longer the
Quran we will believe in the book that
you are going to write if you challenge
the Quran and the Arabs willingly
accepted the challenge and they start
started writing thinking and you know
that the ARs were the best speakers the
perfectionist of their language they
could instead of talking PR they can
talk poetry they were masters of the
language we've never ever known any
other nation that perfected the language
like the Arabs there are hundreds and
tens of examples and there not the time
to talk about it they accepted the
challenge and they started making
research and making thinking and writing
something similar to and they start
bringing it to consult each other how do
you see
this and we started laughing each at
each other how do you dare saying that
and the Quran is seeing it in that
perfect way mhm and even to the effect
that some Arabs were were afraid to be
affected by the Quran so some of them
when they visited the prophet sallallah
alaihi wasallam and they wanted to
observe them uh to monitor them they
used to put something in their ears to
to plug their ears to prevent themselves
from listening to the Quran and one of
the leaders said that okay let me test
this I will take this I'm a I'm a leader
of My Tribe why I'm behaving like a
child so he gave himself the opportunity
to listen to the
Quran and immediately the effect
appeared on him when he went back to his
tribe the people saw him from distance
and they said look at him he came with a
different face and this was the effect
of the Quran on him because he
understood the language and he had seen
and tasted how beautiful the language of
the Quran was we're going to cut out and
take a break and we'll be right back
with more of this miraculous book the
Quran I just want to say very simple
message one of the beautiful things
about our religion of Islam is the
emphasis on Direct ritual and prayer to
God directly there is no intermediary
the lights will go on after the party
and the party will end it's very simple
and very clear there are no
superstitious rituals no strange
incantations time is running out we
might not make it till tomorrow and this
is something that we need to think
about Dr Madu can you continue
elaborating on the opening chapter of
the verbatim word of God the Quran okay
and uh I'm going to do that but before
that I just want to go back to the first
verse in the chapter inah Bak that I was
talking about that Allah after
comforting the hearts of the people that
this book has no doubt in it and no
skepticism in it and no no error in it
no flow in it Allah defined the book
what type of book is the Quran Allah
said
that it's
guidance for those who believe in it and
in another verse he said that it's
guidance for mankind and inshallah in
one of the coming episodes I will
elaborate and give examples that how the
Quran is addressing all human beings
it's not just for the Muslims this
important point you just said that it is
a guidance for the people there's a
criteria here of course the criteria
first of all in another verse it says
that it's guidance for all human beings
yeah so if you are if you belong to any
other religion if you belong to any
other ideology and you are seeking
guidance what is the answer for this
problem you go to the Quran and you will
find the answer there and this is how
most of the people by the way became
Muslims most of them they have something
in common they would say that we found
the answer in that book but you have to
want it is that a criteria like if I'm
you're talking about a beautiful car and
I'm not in the market so you have to be
in the market for wanting to be guided
by the one who created you you have to
want it
of course you should first of all you
should be sincere
sincere sincere in looking for the truth
yeah sincere and unbiased and Allah
subhana T said this in the Quran if you
are sincere in looking for the truth we
will def I will definitely guide you
through but if you got too many other
things preoccupying your mind you're not
even thinking about money the dollar
that's all that's on your mind or if you
are just reading the Quran to find some
mistakes and from this perspective you
will not be guided yeah yeah you you you
need to be sincere that you are looking
for the truth and if you have this
condition if you have this state of the
heart in you you will be guided open
mind open heart open minded openhearted
neutral unbiased read think reflect
Ponder and you will find that guidance
is coming to you and that's why most of
the people who were guided to Islam they
would say that when we we read the Quran
we found the answers to many things that
even by the way the people who when they
listen to the Quran and they don't know
that this is the word of Allah subhana
wa tala you would find that they are
affected by this tell us let me
interject because some people have a a
Mis notion they think okay that we're
guided now and some people they feel
like some spirit's going to come in you
and you'll be start talking in some
foreign tongues and that what are we
talking about when we say guided
elaborate this I think a very good
question think when we said that guided
it you're looking for the answer for a
question you don't have the answer what
should I do in this situation what
should I do how would I use the money
how would I use the organs that I have
in my body logical just it's very
logical yeah what is the best way to use
my ears what should I listen to should I
listen to this or this or this what
should I listen how to use my eyes in
the correct way how to use my tongue in
the correct how even to use the money
that I have because a lot of people
think that really this is their money
it's it's something we Muslims believe
that Allah entrusted us with this money
Allah subhana wa tala was the cause that
for this you to be rich yes you did some
part of the work you exerted an effort
but Allah subhana T is the one who
really caused you for example look at
someone who's like Bill Gates for
example yeah one of the richest if not
the richest person in the world yeah had
education been the cause for for him to
be rich he wouldn't have been Rich he
left the university he didn't complete
his uh BSC or his master he was of
course a student learning from all his
professors and after just few
years he hired his professors to work
with him and he did not complete his
education he did not finish his
education his degree and but he's the
richest person in the world is it be is
he the smartest person in the world I
doubt that but it is the will of Allah
subhana that made him and not somebody
else Rich Allah is observing Bill Gates
and observing M and observing Ed and
observing everyone how you are going to
use this money are you going to use it
in in the way that pleases Almighty
Allah the most beneficial way that to
help people in the world or are you
going to misuse it and abuse the money
and use it in in bad things so this the
Quran guides you and when I answering
these questions it opens up your heart
day after day that you're looking for
the truth oh now I KN I know the right
way and we can talk about hundreds of
examples in this uh again and again and
this is my tip and my advice to
everybody to the viewers and to the
listeners just to take your time and
open your heart read the Quran don't
read read all of it I don't advise you
at all just read one chapter just read
the first part of it second and see and
compare it with other books and you see
you would immediately see the difference
once you see the difference you would
know that this is the book The Only book
that was safe kept safe from Almighty
Allah and it is guidance for people if
you are sincere in seeking guance we
look forward God want to have you back
