If there is noisseurut or Sanat but desert, I will all perish in truly intrinsic and so it is for him to say, both the Prophet and all the gooderas, maybe from which the administration decides to turn around towards him it’s insidious difference. point number six is to use Quranic terminology. The recite Quran then translate. Learn to recite well according to the truth as we, the rules of the truth and don’t make mistakes. [PAUSE] And this is very important. What I find a lot of people doing is that instead of reciting Quran, [PAUSE] they simply mentioned the meaning and they say Allah said this and Allah said that first of all that is not true. Allah did not say that because Allah did not speak in English. Allah did not speak in Urdu. Allah Subhanahu ta’ala said what he said in the Arabic language. So first of all, let us not say Allah said this and then say something else. So very important for us to [PAUSE] recite the Quran al-Karim, actual words of Allah. There is a power in it, there is higher in it, there is barakah in it and then by all means translate because people who are reciting to may not know Arabic so translate. Second thing is there is power in the word of Allah itself. The Quran in its original form is power. So don’t lose that out. Don’t lose out on that power because this is a humbillah. Something that Allah has given us. So recite Quran, recite it well, don’t make mistakes. Second thing is don’t say God instead of Allah and don’t say Lord instead of Allah. Again this is done with the good intention because you feel that if I say Allah then you know maybe they don’t understand or maybe they have some negative feeling towards that and so you say God and you say Lord because you feel that if I say you say Ram they don’t understand what is Ram. They are not understanding is a benefit. When you use the Arabic word it will encourage them to ask for the meaning which opens the door for you to present Islam. They will say what is up? We serve Allah. I mean what is the Allah? Who is the Allah? I mean that opens the door for you to present Islam. If you use God or Lord they will understand it in their own way and not in the way that you want them to understand. They want understand God as Allah Subhanah O Thay Allah and they won’t understand Lord as Arabul al-Alami, Arabul al-Shizkari. So therefore use the Arabic word. I will tell you something that happened with me. Many years ago and I am not advocating that you do this but this was a you know it was a mistake I made but Allah Subhanah O Thay Allah taught me a lesson. Many even years ago I was in Madhina in the Haram Sharif much is an Abu Bakh Sharif and I sent a message saying I am here in message an Abu Bakh Sharif and I’m making go for you and I send this message to several friends of mine. Obviously Muslim friends of mine. Now by mistake I sent it to a whole bunch of Muslims but by mistake one of them, one of the people I sent it to was a Hindu guy. He was also a good friend of mine, Hindu guy. Interestingly the only one who responded was that Hindu guy. Our Muslims are so fed up. So he responded immediately and he said thank you very much, our way for making dua. Please make an offering to Lord Allah for me. Please make an offering to Lord Allah for me. Now I felt quite you know it’s it’s out of it jarred. Lord Allah sounded very harsh. But I was thinking to myself what will he do? I mean he has this person he doesn’t understand. He doesn’t know so he’s being as pious and as respectful as he can. He’s saying please make an offering to Lord Allah for me because this is what they do when they go to the temples and they make offerings to the idols that they worship there. So I told him we don’t make an offering to Allah. We don’t come here to give. We come here to take Allah thought like gives. He doesn’t take. So it kind of opened the door to give some the avatar of Islam. But the point I’m thinking is saying is that he understood it in his own way. So when you say Lord they may understand Lord as whatever they understand Lord you know Lord Shiva Krishna and so on and so forth. So it will be respectful because it’s there you know really getting respectful. But the point is that use the Quran. This is a this is a strength that we have. This is a resource we have. So don’t lose the load, don’t lose the benefit of that. Use the Quran in terminology. Because there is a power in the language of the Quran that is specific to it. It does not translate to any other language. This was a sonar of Rasulullah Sur-Sala. He used to recite Quran when people asked him about Islam. Right? When somebody asked him about Islam, he said the Sahab said the Sahab, the Huba, the Sahab, the Huba and the Sahab Fibhu and the recited Quran. And this is what converted people to Islam. Ah, Hassan Milsab with Rabiyalan who famous Sahab, was a great linguist and a poet and very very famous all over Arabia. When he came to Makkah, Abulah had the uncle of Rasulullah Salam was against him. He said to him, don’t listen to my nephew. If you listen to him, [PAUSE] he changes your mind. He changes your heart. He decides something. He says something which so don’t listen, which which will do that so don’t listen to him. So Hassan Milsab is Rasulullah. He says, why he thought to myself, you know, what? So he said first of all, he made Abulah and he literally plugged his ears with cotton. Then later on he saw Rasulullah standing in front of the Kaaba, he was praying, he was making Salah. And Hassan Milsab, and he was deciding, Quran. Hassan Milsab said, I thought to myself, what is it that he can say that will means me because I am a linguist, I am an expert of the language. So what is he going to say, which will change my mind? So let me just listen to what he has to say. And he said, he put he removed the cotton from his ears and he listened to Rasulullah, Salam, deciding Quran. I imagine the power and the glory and the majesty of the, this is the Kaaba of Allah’s Mahanul Talai. Being recited by the Rasulullah, Allah’s Mahanul Talai, on whom this Kaaba was revealed. And obviously it had the power and the, and the power to change the heart and mind of Hassan Milsab of the Allah, and he came to Islam. So use the Quranal curry. And for this reason it is very important to be connected with the Quranal curry. What I recommend always, is make this into your routine, wake up for the Hajjul, pray to Hajjul, read one just of Quran every day, let no matter where you are traveling or you are at home or not, read one just of Quran every day and then pray Salat for just. So, and preferably, preferably by Jama’at. So this is make this into a routine in Shala and see how your day is illuminated by the power of the Quran and curry. Because your day is beginning, so beautifully, with the Quran and curry. Read one just, as I said again, repeat myself, learn to recite it well. There is nothing, which is easier than learning, the Sahajaer, rules of the Sahajaer is very easy, but you need to make some effort, make the learn the rules of the Sahajaer, and then recite Quran in a beautiful way. Allah’s Mahanul Talai gave this to Rasulullah Salas allam. Serea, you are Muslim, you are Muslim, you are in Laila illa, Khalilah. This Sahajaer revealed this in Surah, the Muslim, which is one of the first Surah, to be revealed. And he said, no, to be Shalat, over the one wrapped in garments, in the wrapped in and then sleeping, he said, stand up in the right to worship Allah’s Mahanul Talai and recite Quran in a beautiful way. So this is the reciting of the rising up in the right to hajjud and reciting Quran. This is power of Allah’s Mahanul Talai. This is a resource from Allah’s Mahanul Talai. This is where you plug in yourself to Allah’s Mahanul Talai, to the power of Allah’s Mahanul Talai, to recharge yourself every day, and then you go out into the world and you do the work that Allah has decreed for you. We ask Allah’s Mahanul Talai to accept the eyes, we ask Allah’s Mahanul Talai to accept the eyes, to accept the eyes and to connect ourselves to Him and to keep us connected and to take us in that state. We are connected.
