Have tawa of Allah and Allah will teach
you,
will give you knowledge.
So this means the tawa which is faith in
Allah helps you to learn more from the
world darkness was
gone with
salvation rising with
[Music]
dawn. All praise is due to Allah. I
welcome you all to tonight's lecture
will be faith and knowledge and shik
jaffer will be giving the lecture on
this topic. So before I take much of
your time inshallah I will request Dr.
Jaffer Shikis to deliver the speech.
Brothers and sisters, what is the
relationship between knowledge and
faith? The relationship is what is
called the
reciprocal. First you know, then you
believe and have faith. When you have
faith, that faith in its turn helps you
to learn more and so on. The learning
leads to belief. Belief helps you to
learn. That is the gist of my talk. Now
we go into some details. Faith iman is
not mere belief in the existence of
something. For example, as a Muslim, you
believe in the existence of the shaitan.
But you don't
say I have iman in the shanan because
faith is not just the belief in the
existence of something. It is belief
plus trust. You trust what you believe
in. You believe that something good that
it is good for you to have this kind of
belief and so on. So these are facts. If
you say that I trust this person or
trust, you must base your belief on some
knowledge. If you don't have knowledge,
then you don't have real belief. Many
people say, "I don't know what I
believe." If you don't know, don't
believe because the belief must be based
on knowledge. Now, what kind of
knowledge is faith in Allah based on? I
looked into so many verses of the Quran
and came to you up with many examples of
this. You must have some knowledge that
is relevant to the attributes of Allah
or to the message that Allah subhana ta
sent or to the prophet whom he sent and
so on. That knowledge leads you to
believe and have faith in Allah subhana
wa tala. What is the first example? The
most important knowledge that every
human being starts with is what is
called in Islam
fra comes from a word which means the
beginning the first thing. So sometimes
people translate fra as human nature but
it doesn't mean human nature as it is
understood in the English language. FRA
is the original good human nature with
which Allah subhana wa ta'ala endowed
human beings. So you can say in English
it is in the nature of human beings to
lie or to steal or but you can't say in
Arabic it is in the fra of human beings
to lie or to steal. No human beings
according to the Quran are born good.
All these deviations come after there
are deviations from the fra and uh the
fra is good because the prophet sallall
alaihi wasallam
said every newborn child is born in
accordance with this original good and
that is why some of the I think one of
them was Im Ahmed used to say that all
children are Muslims.
All children are Muslims because they
are still on the fra. So if some kafir
die and they leave behind their children
and they come to the Muslim world, we
consider them Muslims. We don't ask them
to
sayahillah. So it is with this that
people start at least everyone in the
world knows that the world has a
creator. That's why you find more than
90% of people in the world believing in
the existence of the creator. When
prophets come, they build on this. In
fact, some people know by their own fra
even they know that if there is only one
creator, then it is that creator alone
who should be worshiped. So if you have
this fra then a prophet comes with a
message and you see that this message
says something to you which you like
which you already have in your heart and
therefore you accept it. The second kind
of knowledge is knowledge about the
world. We'll say inshallah give more
examples of this. Allah subhana wa
ta'ala you find evidence for the truth
of a prophetic message in something
which you know in the world you know
something and that knowledge leads you
to believe that what that prophet said
is true. examples of these people before
the prophet came there were Jews and and
Christian and Allah subhana wa ta'ala
told them in their books about Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wasallam so they had
this knowledge when Muhammad sallall
alaihi wasallam came and they saw that
what their books say about him
corresponds to the person whom they saw
they believed that's why Allahh said the
reward will be doubled
because they believed in Jesus or Moses
and now they believed in Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Allahh
said so that those who have been given
knowledge will believe in it. This verse
is very clear that faith is based on
knowledge.
So that those who have been giving
knowledge know that it is the truth from
your lord then they believe in it. Some
people for example the Arabs to whom the
prophet wasallam was sent they knew
about the prophet himself. So when he
came and said that he is prophet they
said we know this man he doesn't tell
lies so he must be telling the truth. We
know that Allah subhana wa ta'ala has
sent many prophets uh before him. So it
is not strange for a person to be a
messenger of Allah subhana wa tala and
this man is very truthful, very honest
and now he is claiming that he is the
prophet of Allah. That knowledge what
they knew about the prophet wasallam led
them to believe in him. In fact when uh
Abu Sufyan you know you remember the
story of Abu Sufyan uh before he became
Muslim he went and visit
Heracletus and that man was a very wise
man it is unfortunate that he didn't
become Muslim and he asked them very
significant questions at that time Abu
Sufyan was not a Muslim he said did you
accuse him of telling lies before he
said he is a prophet He said no. Then
that man said he wouldn't have abstained
from telling lies about human beings and
then tell a lie about Allah subhana wa
ta'ala. You wouldn't be truthful for 40
years and then suddenly tell the biggest
lie in the world. No human being would
do this. So their knowledge about the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam also
Allahh said to them you know that this
man never read a book he never wrote a
book so this Quran couldn't have been
from his own invention now this
knowledge led them to believe in prophet
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam also
their knowledge of the Arabic language
these people were masters of literary
style. They could easily see whether the
Quran is the work of a human being or
not. And this knowledge their knowledge
unfortunately those of us now who call
themselves Arabic Arabs and who read
Arabic language we don't have this
ability but they had it. anyone any even
the cafes among them used whenever they
heard the Quran used to have the highest
respect for it. So this knowledge led
them to believe that the Quran is the
word of Allah subhana wa ta'ala. And you
have the example of the
sorcerers. You know those people uh
whose story Allah subhana wa ta'ala
repeats in so many verses in the Quran
at the time of
Moses. Why did they believe? Why did
they have that strong belief and
suddenly why? Because they know what
sorcery is. They knew what magic is. And
they could see very clearly that what
Moses did was not like what they do.
This is a miracle and this person must
be a messenger from Allah subhana wa
ta'ala. So their knowledge of magic of
sorcery led them to believe in
Musam. Some people have knowledge of
human psychology. one Jewish person, he
was a pious person. Once he saw the
prophet, he accepted him as a prophet.
And and when he was asked why, he said,
"When I looked at his face, I could see
that that was not the face of a
liar." Just that just by looking at his
face. And he became among the best
companions of the prophet. In fact, um
he is one of the people whom Allah
subhana ta gave the good tidings that he
would be um in paradise.
Abdaham from the
world darkness was gone.

Some someone
knows uh a bit of scientific knowledge
either about human beings or animals or
nature or so. and he sees that this
corresponds to what the Quran says and I
know the story of someone but that man
said I saw him he said uh that kind of
knowledge was not available to people at
the time of prophet Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wasallam and that kind of
knowledge is nowhere to be found in any
book before the Quran or after the
Quran. This is something that we
discovered in modern times and we
discovered it because we had the
instruments by which we could discover
it. At the time of prophet Muhammad such
instrument instruments were not
available. So no human being could have
known this. So he said that I said to
myself then where did Muhammad get this
knowledge from? He must have gotten it
from someone who doesn't use these human
instruments and that one must be Allah
subhana wa ta'ala. So he believed in
prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wasallam. If someone also has knowledge
of rational principles he studies a book
and he can see that there is a
contradiction here, there is a
contradiction there. uh this is his
training and he reads a book of Allah
subhana wa ta'ala and he finds no
contradiction and he says to himself
this couldn't have been written by a
human being because no human being can
write a book the size of the Quran of
the or of the Torat or or and not
contradict himself only the creator has
this ability and Allah Allah subhana wa
ta'ala tells us in the Quran about
this had this been from other than Allah
subhana wa t'ala you would have found
many contradictions therein mean the
fact that there are no contradictions is
itself a proof that this is from Allah
subhana wa ta'ala also someone who like
someone in fact did this um Someone
makes careful study of the Quran as far
as as its compatibility with natural
scientific facts and he finds no false
statement. He says to himself this can't
be this couldn't have been written by
human being because there is no book in
the world even scientific books from the
time of the Greeks until now even if a
book is written just 100 years ago you
are bound to find in it something which
has now been discovered to be false. So
no human being can have nothing in his
book except scientific facts but this is
what he found in the Quran and therefore
he said to himself this couldn't be from
a human being and so on you can multiply
the the examples now the other way
around you have now believed in Allah
subhana wa ta'ala now this belief in its
turn helps you to understand more, to
learn more. There are also many verses
in the Quran which uh show
this have ta of Allah and Allah will
teach you will give you knowledge. So
this means the tawa which is faith in
Allahh helps you to to learn more.
And there is a verse in the Quran which
tells us that Allah subhana wa ta'ala
gives the meaning the better the im the
more the foran. You know what is foran?
Foran is the ability to distinguish
between truth and falsehood. And they
say not only between truth and and
falsehood even between shades of
falsehood. Shades of truth. And this is
something very important for you want to
make decision. You know there is a
rational uh principle which is also an
Islamic principle that you do the lesser
of two evils. Now how do you know that
this evil is lesser than that one? The
more knowledge of Allah and faith in
Allah you
have the more you will have this kind of
ability. Remember this
word comes from
word means to separate to distinguish.
So a person who has faith in Allah is
never confused. He can see that this is
the truth this is falsehood. If someone
doesn't have um faith or he denies the
truth then he will lose this kind of
ability. Allah subhana wa ta'ala says
about I'm just giving you examples. Um
you can multiply them. You can read the
Quran now and
find you can add to these examples that
I I gave
you and we made understand it. So this
means that this understanding came to as
a reward from Allah subhana wa ta'ala.
It was not just by his own his own uh
thinking his own pondering. No, it was a
reward from Allah subhana tala. Allahh
says about
MS when he became mature and strong
Allah subhana wa ta says he gave him
knowledge. Allah gave him knowledge and
then he
said it is in this way that we reward
those who do good. So if you do good you
can be sure that Allah subhana wa ta'ala
will reward you by giving you uh
knowledge. Also Allah said about
Ibraim you know you remember the the
argument that he had with the king who
claimed to be the creator and so on and
uh Ibraim had a strong argument against
him and he was dumbfounded. So Allah
subhana wa ta'ala tells us that this is
a bounty. This is a that Allah subhana
wa ta'ala gave to Ibraim. And this
argument itself is a blessing from Allah
subhana wa ta'ala. And this happened to
many good Muslims in the history of
Islam. It was not because just they were
intelligent or that they just because
they were thoughtful but because also
they had tawa. They had faith in Allah
subhana wa ta'ala. And therefore Allah
um strengthens them, helps them by
giving them good arguments against their
opponents or enemies. Faith in Allah
subhana wa ta'ala also helps you to
think because Allah subhana ta said that
he sent this Quran not just for us to
recite it. Many people now do this just
recite the Quran mean whether they speak
Arabic or not they recite it without
understanding it. This was not the
purpose of the Quran. But he said that
Abdullah Omar told some of his
companions that he told them you are now
living in an at an age where there
are
few you
know someone who learned the Quran few
have as we say it few have and
many people who understand and there
will come a time when there will be many
hies
and
few
faukah. And it is better the time at
which there are more fauxa and less hers
is better than the time at which there
are many hies but few faukah. And it is
said also that the hist that the Quran
were members of Omar's
Shur. And I
tell people this were not Quran in the
modern sense. Huh? In in our because if
they just knew the Quran by heart, they
wouldn't have helped him because he
wants people to tell him don't do this
because Allah says so and so. do this
because Allah says so and so. People who
know the Quran by heart, yes, but who
understand the Quran and who can quote
uh the verses of the Quran easily and
therefore help the Khalifa. Now if a
person has this faith in Allah subhana
tala, if you have tawa, this helps you
also to think to to do what Allahh told
you to do. Allah said said that we must
ponder over the verses of the Quran.
Compare this verse with that verse.
Compare this verse with the hadith of
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
Think always about what you you read. So
if you have faith in Allah subhana tala
your heart becomes uh pure. You will not
be distracted. you will concentrate and
this will help you to ponder over the
verses of the Quran and come up with new
information and use the Quran to solve
the problems that your people face. This
is the purpose of the Quran. The Quran
is a cure. So if there are so many
problems in your society and you don't
understand the Quran mean you can't use
the Quran to cure those ills, those
problem. So tawa helps you to do this
inshallah. Now I uh conclude
by uh something that is just the
opposite of this that uh a
person who has no faith in Allah and by
the way I would like to clarify
something there's a difference between a
kafir and
non-Muslim be careful not every
non-Muslim is kafir every kafir is
non-Muslim but not every non-Muslim is
kafir. What is kafir? A kafir is someone
who denies the truth. So for someone to
be a kafir, he has to know the truth. If
he doesn't know the truth, then you
can't call him kafir.

This is your brother Jaffer Idris

A friendly message by Dr.
Zak the most profitable business. Would
you like to know the business in which
you earn the maximum profit? The secret
is given in the glorious Quran in surah
al bakra chapter number two verse number
261. The example of those who spend
their wealth in the way of Allah is like
a seed of grain which grows seven
spikes. In each spike is 100 grains and
Allah multiplies his reward to whom he
wills. If you spend your wealth in the
way of Allah you'll get a return of 700
times. In business terminology, you'll
get a profit of
70,000%. Is there any business you know
of in which you'll get a better return?
Invest today in the way of Allah.
Beast TV, the solution for humanity.
Allah subhana wa ta'ala gives
the the better the im the more thean.
You know what is foran? Foran is the
ability to distinguish between truth and
falsehood. And they say not only between
truth and and falsehood, even between
shades of falsehoods, shades of truth.
And this is something very important for
you want to make decision. You know
there is a

this evil is lesser than that one? The
more knowledge of Allah and faith in
Allah you
have the more you will have this kind of
ability. Remember this
word comes from

So a person who has faith in Allah is
never confused. He can see that this is
the truth this is falsehood. If someone
doesn't have um faith or he denies the
truth then he will lose this kind of
ability. Allah subhana wa ta'ala says
about I'm just giving you examples. Um
you can multiply them. You can read the
Quran now and
find you can add to these examples that
I I gave

means that this understanding came to as
a reward from Allah subhana wa ta'ala.
It was not just by his own his own uh
thinking his own pondering. No, it was a
reward from Allah subhana tala. Allahh
says about
m when he became mature and strong Allah
subhana wa ta says he gave him
knowledge. Allah gave him knowledge and
then he
said it is in this way that we reward
those who do good. So if you do good you
can be sure that Allah subhana wa ta'ala
will reward you by giving you uh
knowledge. Also Allah said about
Ibraim, you know, you remember the the
argument that he had with the king who
claimed to be the creator and so on and
uh Ibraim had a strong argument against
his team and he was dumbfounded. So
Allah subhanaa tala tells us that this
is a bounty. This is a that Allah
subhana wa ta'ala gave to Ibraim. And
this argument itself is a blessing from
Allah subhana wa ta'ala. And this
happened to many good Muslims in the
history of Islam. It was not because
just they were intelligent or just
because they were thoughtful but because
also they had tawa. They had faith in
Allah subhana wa ta'ala. And therefore
Allah um strengthens them, helps them by
giving them good arguments against their
opponents or enemies. Faith in Allah
subhana wa ta'ala also helps you to
think cuz
Allahh said that he sent this Quran not
just for us to recite it. Many people
now do this just recite the Quran mean
whether they speak Arabic or not they
recite it without understanding it. This
was not the purpose of the Quran. It is
said that Abdullah Omar told some of his
companions that he told them you are now
living in an at an age where there
are
few you

few
fukahar. And it is better the time at
which there are more faukah and less
hers is better than the time at which
there are many histies but few faukah.
And it is said also that the hist that
the Quran were members of Omar's Shur.
And I tell people this were not Quran in
the modern sense. Huh? In in our because
if they just knew the Quran by heart,
they wouldn't have helped him because he
wants people to tell him don't do this
because Allah says so and so. Do this
because Allah says so and so. people who
know the Quran by heart, yes, but who
understand the Quran and who can quote
uh the verses of the Quran easily and
therefore help the Khalifa. Now, if a
person has this faith in Allah subhana
tala, if you have tawa, this helps you
also to think to do what Allah subhana
ta told you to do. Allah said that we
must ponder over the verses of the
Quran. Compare this verse with that
verse. Compare this verse with the
hadith of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam. Think always about what you
you read. So if you have faith in Allah

pure. You will not be distracted. you
will concentrate and this will help you
to ponder over the verses of the Quran
and come up with new information and use
the Quran to solve the problems that
your people face. This is the purpose of
the Quran. The Quran is a cure. So if
there are so many problems in your
society and you don't understand the
Quran mean you can't use the Quran to
cure those ills, those problem. So tawa
helps you to do this inshallah. Now I
conclude by
uh something that is just the opposite
of this that uh a person who has no
faith in Allah and by the way I would
like to clarify something. There's a
difference between a kafir a non-Muslim.
Be careful. Not every non-Muslim is
kafir. Every kafir is non-Muslim but not
every non-Muslim is kafir. What is
kafir? A kafir is someone who denies the
truth. So for someone to be a kafir, he
has to know the truth. If he doesn't
know the truth, then you can't call him
kafir. Kafir of what? And Allah subhana
wa
ta'ala uh punishes only those people who
knew the truth but who denied it. It
doesn't punish people who didn't know
the truth. This applies also to Muslims.
If you are a good Muslim and you are
living in a society where there is
little knowledge and you denied
something that is in the Quran or the
Sunnah because he didn't
know, will Allah punish you? No.
or someone denied a hadith of the
prophet because he didn't know that this
was a hadith or because someone told him
or her that this hadith is weak. So he
denied it. He didn't deny it as a hadith
of the prophet. He thought that this was
something statement made by someone and
he denied it. So Allah subhana wa ta'ala
he will not punish anyone for something
that he did not do intentionally. And
also if someone had distorted knowledge
of Islam, someone like what they write
about Islam now in the world. If all
that someone knew about Islam is that
these people are terrorists, uh once you
are told that Ysef Estas is a Muslim,
you be careful. He might be carrying a
gun and he doesn't care to kill
children, women, weak people, innocent
people. He can just throw a bomb at and
he doesn't care. So is this a kind of
religion in which a person would
believe? No. If I am told that this is
Islam and I will not believe in because
what I denied would not be the message
that was sent to Prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wasallam, I denied
what I was told is Islam. Now we come
to the real prophets.
A person who knew the truth but who
denied it. You know how Allah subhana wa
ta'ala punishes them even in this world.
One kind of
punishment is by making them blind to
the truth. At first he saw the truth. He
denied then Allah punishes him by
sealing his
heart. After that he cannot even see the
truth. This is a punishment. Allah
subhana t gave us an example of the town
of plot. Allahh
said they passed by the city the town on
which Allah sent harmful rail and then
Allah
says they see it they see the village
but they don't get the lesson and this
happens to many people the problem is
not just to see the external facts the
problem is to draw the right lesson from
what they you see. So if a person denies
the truth then Allah subhana wa ta'ala
deprivives him or her of this kind of
knowledge. Allahh
says we seal their heart. We put their
hearts in something that hides them so
that the truth doesn't enter doesn't
come to them. And Allah doesn't create
any person in this way. Creates every
person with an open heart with the
ability to know the truth. But if they
deny the truth after they have known it,
then Allah punishes them by making it
impossible for them or difficult for
them to understand the truth. Allah
subhana t said
also what is the matter with these
people? Are their hearts locked? And by
the way, when Allah subhana wa ta'ala
talks about hearts, we are not talking
just about the physical heart.
uh because uh we know we understand we
judge we love and so on not by our body
but by our soul. So when the Quran talks
about the heart, he's referring to the
soul behind the
heart from the
world. Darkness was gone.
The best time for a person who's fasting
to make dua is while breaking his
fasting. There is nothing that draws you
closer to Allah better than obligatory
acts. I want to to fast every single day
of the year. This is not acceptable. In
Ramadan, there
[Music]
is the night of destiny. So, one night
is equivalent to 1,000 months. Whatever
you do in that
night issues.

From the
world
darkness. Now we have a Q&A session. Uh
anyone interested in asking questions,
they can line up to ask the questions
inshallah.
My question is what about the ayat
called mutabi that contradicts with the
common sense?
There are no verses in the Quran which
contradict people's common sense. But
some people find difficulty. Allah
subhana w t'ala would not say something
which he knows cannot be understood by
anyone and which will cause difficulty
for people. That's why some of the said
that the shabi is something relative.
What is mutab to you may not be mutab to
me. One thing secondly it depends also
on what you mean by mutes.
means something that on the face of it
uh attributes to Allah subhana wa ta'ala
something which can be attributed to
human beings only. So here means it
looks like but that is not what is meant
when Allah subhana wa ta'ala describes
himself as having hands or eyes or that
even in the hadith of the prophet
sallallaihi wasallam that he smiles and
so on some must call these mutes because
they might give some people the
impression that now we are likening
Allah to human beings and that's why if
Allah
says there's no
problem there's nothing like him so if
he says nothing is like
him then if he says he has eyes then you
interpret this in the light of that one.
Allah said he has eyes but he said that
there is nothing like him. So this means
that the eyes he has are not like human
eyes. How do they look like? We don't
know because we don't know how Allah
himself look like. There is nothing in
our world to compare Allah subhana wa
ta'ala with. We don't know how he looks
like. We only know his attributes. And
now we have come to know that he has
this attribute of I hearing so but that
these are not like those of human beings
and as one said and this sometimes
applies even to create things if you say
the eye of the
needle I can not it's not like professor
Aas eye the eye of the needle is
something different from his eye so if
someone says the eye of the needle, you
don't say, "Oh, this my man is how can a
needle have an eye uh like this?" Or if
you say something has legs, it can be a
table in Arabic at least, I don't know
in English, but the legs of the table
are not like uh my own legs. So the
attribute depends on the thing to which
you are ascribing that if you talk about
Allah subhana tala then you know that
his attributes are different from the
attributes of human beings. This is
regarding science and Islam. We are a
team of three or four people working
on potential energy and electricity
while standing in salah in line. Whether
we should touch our shoulders or whether
should touch our toes or whether if
there is a gap in between the potential
energy the continuity of the electricity
goes off. But we have a small doubt
within ourselves like uh it is always
whenever there is a new invention in
science amas keep criticizing on it.
They recline on their chairs and say it
is not to be used like a small invention
like a TV. I wanted to ask you whether
these amas will give us a chance to
distinguish to ourselves for the latest
inventions on science. Everything that
science can do you accept? No people say
that not even Muslims. There are many
people in the west now who are against
cloning scientists can't do that but
they ask is this ethical and I'm sure
that the who talk about the television
they don't mean just this
instrument they don't mean the hardware
they are talking about what you see in
it and they have you can't say they are
wrong all the time a lot of damage has
come as as a result of television. So if
someone says I don't want to have
television in my home and I know some
people who are non-Muslims in the United
States who don't have TV. So when he
talks about science he's not saying that
everything that science can invent you
use otherwise you use hydrogen bomb.
I have a doubt about free will and
predestination.
They seem to contradict each other. So
could you tell me which is it? From my
experience, I prefer to answer these
questions to the person who asks because
every person has his own problem about
this. So I prefer if the sister tells me
what exactly is her problem and
generally speaking there is no
contradiction because predestination is
according to there are two things which
are
predestined. One on which you have no
control and and Allah will not ask you
about that. He will not ask you why are
you born in India or why is your color
like this or why is your language this
because why did you die at that? So
these are things which he decided and
you will not be asked about this. So
there is no problem. There are things
which you do
voluntarily. You will be asked about
those. Now what is predestination here?
Registration here only means that Allah
subhana wa ta'ala after giving you the
freedom to choose he knew how can you
not know he knew what you are going to
do according to one companion of the
prophets Allah subhana wa ta'ala knew
what we would do and he told his
knowledge to be a
book so they're predestined in this
manner it doesn't mean predestination
doesn't mean that Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala even before he creates us and
even before um he knows uh what our
choice will be he will just say these
people will go to hellfire whatever they
do and these people will go to paradise
whatever they do this is not how Allah
subhana t Allah is wise Allah is
merciful so predestination
here is related to the human will. So
there is no no contradiction between the
two. Some Muslims weighs the hadith with
common sense and sometime rejects the
hadith if it does not fit into their own
sense. This which contradicts common
sense. But um if someone judges a hadith
like this, tell them to judge everything
like this. He reads um something about
black holes and he says doesn't make
sense to me. I reject I don't think that
there are black holes. Um he reads
something else in science that there can
be cloning. How can there be cloning? It
doesn't make sense. I don't believe in
it. So there's a difference
between just having your own opinion and
prejudice and basing your judgment on
ignorance and basing it on real common
sense. When you say that this doesn't
make sense, it means either that it is
contradictory. There's a contradiction
in it. If something is contradictory, it
doesn't make sense. You can't say Ysef
is from Texas but he's from the Sudan. I
mean it doesn't mean that's the
contradiction. If there is a falsehood
in it that doesn't make sense. If it
contradicts something which the prophet
himself already said or the Quran said
that doesn't make sense. So it depends
on what you mean when you say that
something doesn't make sense. And I said
to many people, why don't you say the
same thing about the Quran? But I am
sure that there are verses in the Quran
which if they were in a hadith, someone
would have said, this doesn't make
sense. How can an aunt tell other aunts
go to your homes because the army of
coming? Someone would have said, "Ah,
that doesn't make sense. How can an ant
talk? An infinite infinity talked. How
can man hear an ant talking? What is how
loud can the voice of an ant be? We can
hardly see an ant. So how can we hear
the voice of an ant? How can a bird talk
and talk
about like
the it talks about so and it takes a
message from how can
someone bring a whole throne in one
moment bring it from Yemen to where was
Jerusalem or by Maki or how can you
do
Ooh.
Ah.
Ooh.
Ooh. Ooh.
