Transcript
0:04 ALLAH-O AKBAR, LA ILAHA ILLA ALLAH.
0:31 I'm gonna get you going on time, In Sha Allah.
1:07 ALHAMDU LILLAH. WA ASHHADU AN LA ILAHA ILLA ALLAH, WAHDAHU LA SHAREEKA LAH.
1:15 The idea of mathematical composition of literature is an original idea. It's a new idea
1:23 and it is monopolized by God Alone.
1:26 This is mathematical composition of literary works.
1:29 If you go to the library and look at millions of books, you will not find one
1:35 that is mathematically composed. The idea is not known in human-made books.
1:41 And the Quran is the only book in the world
1:44 that is mathematically composed and is intact.
1:49 There have been fragments of mathematically composed materials
1:56 like liturgies and small pieces of the original scripture,
2:01 but the Quran is the only book in the world that's mathematically composed.
2:05 And the idea of mathematical composition is that everything is calculated, the words, the letters, the verses, the chapters.
2:14 I can ask you to write a book where chapter 2 contains 500 S's, for example.
2:21 This is a mathematical composition because you'll get to chapter 2 and you will write and count the S's and keep track of them.
2:28 So, you'll end up with 500 S's in chapter 2.
2:33 So, this is the simplest form of mathematical composition.
2:38 This can be made difficult by adding more specifications: chapter two has 500 S's
2:43 and chapter 6 has 300 H's and 200 R's, for example. Then it becomes more difficult.
2:50 You'll have to keep track of more things as you write.
2:53 And as you write, you'll have to make up sentences that make sense and serve a purpose.
3:03 It's not just calculations. It's two important things. So, the Quran is the only book
3:08 in the world today that is mathematically composed
3:13 and this is why I'm kind of monopolizing the KHUTBA these days.
3:17 You may have to bear with me one more time.
3:20 But I'm giving this KHUTBA on behalf of sister Ihsan Ramadan.
3:25 She made some significant discoveries that you have in front of you
3:31 and they're really profound.
3:32 What is happening these days is a concentration on
3:36 the parameter of the numbers assigned to the verses in the Quran.
3:43 Are these haphazard? Were they made by men?
3:46 Was it just somebody said "let us give this number 6 and this number 7 and they divided the verses haphazardly?
3:53 And the loud the message that's coming loud and clear is NO.
3:57 These numbers are assigned by God.
4:00 So, let me, the first new... I reported some new findings to you last week.
4:07 The thing that Ihsan found this morning. Was it this morning or last year? I'm losing track of time.
4:14 I think it is this morning
4:17 It's been, it's been very exciting in the office here.
4:22 And you can see that I am... my breath is taken away.
4:25 It is breath-taking.
4:27 One of the most important worships in Islam is SALAT.
4:32 SALAT, Connection between the creature and the Creator,
4:36 something that we practice.
4:39 And this seems to be the most important thing for any human being.
4:44 The Jews and the Christians, we know from Quran, lost it.
4:48 In Sura 19, by the way, the verse says that "Generations came after Moses and Jesus that lost the Contact Prayer"
4:59 which means they lost the combination. This is Ihsan's own words.
5:04 They lost the combination to the safe, so they couldn't make contact.
5:08 And the consequences given in the same verse: "therefore, they will suffer immensely"
5:15 because they lost the contact.
5:17 Imagine being in this sizzling pan called the world
5:21 and these contact prayers are the ropes that keep you out of this sizzling pan.
5:27 If you don't make this contact, you are burning in this sizzling... you are suffering the pains and problems.
5:37 Ok. The word "SALAT" in Quran, "contact prayer", this signifies it's importance.
5:48 If you look in the small sheet here, what we did was add the SURAs and the verses where the word "SALAT" occurs in the whole Quran
6:00 and the total is circled in red: 4674. It's a very big number.
6:09 It's a very big number which means if there was one verse
6:15 that came to us 32 instead of 31, for example, from God,
6:21 in other words, God assigned the number 31 and somebody in 1400 years changed it to 32, we would not have this,
6:29 will not be divisible because this is a multiple of 19. 19 x 246.
6:40 These are the numbers of the SURAs and the numbers of the verses
6:45 and any discrepancy with... this is the ultimate and scientific proof, mathematics,
6:51 is very sensitive.
6:53 76, for example, is a multiple of 19, but not 77, and not 75.
7:00 And the larger the number, the more huge the odds that this is haphazard.
7:08 So, you understand this one here.
7:10 Now, the word "Quran," you take the word "Quran"; it's a very important word.
7:18 And at the top of the page, what you see are the numbers of verses throughout Quran where the word "Quran" occurs.
7:28 And you take those verses, the numbers of the verses, and add them, as you see here.
7:33 If you look at the top of the page, it says ready and then the number 10. It's the number of the line. A equals. 185 is the first verse where the word "Quran" happens.
7:42 It's in Sura 2, verse 185, plus 82, 82 is the second verse where the word Quran happens, and this is in Sura, probably, Sura 4
7:55 and so on. So, we added up all the verses where the word Quran takes place
8:04 and the total is 2660 = 19 x 140.
8:15 Now, listen to this. The word "Quran" happens in the Quran 58 times.
8:30 58 is not a multiple of 19
8:33 but one of them, one of these is in Sura 10, where God says:
8:41 "every time you show the Quran to the disbelievers, they say, give us a quran other than this."
8:48 So, it is not this Quran. So, the word "Quran", "This Quran" of God happens 57 times
8:58 which is 19 times 3 and this total does not include that verse that says "a quran other than this."
9:08 So, you can see the accuracy and the intricacy of this. This is not human-made.
9:18 Now, the word "Quran", of course, it happens a number of times in certain SURAs. How many SURAs?
9:27 The word "Quran" in every shape, form, or grammatical shape is found in 38 SURAs, 19 times 2.
9:38 If you add the number of SURAs where the word "Quran" happens and the number of verses,
9:45 the total of the verses where the "Quran" takes place, the total is 2698, 19 times 142.
9:57 Does this number ring a bell?
10:01 Anybody? Gatut.
10:04 Exactly. This is the... the word "Allah" occurs in the Quran this total: 2698.
10:13 The evidence is piling up and, at this rate the world will end tomorrow.
10:20 I mean something, something is happening at this rate of the evidence piling and showing that we have a book from God
10:33 TUBU ILLA ALLAH. Repent.
10:44 ALHAMDU LILLAH. WA ASHHADU AN LA ILAHA ILLA ALLAH, WAHDAHU LA SHAREEKA LAH.
10:57 Like I said, I'm giving this KHUTBA on behalf of Ihsan. She mentioned some ideas today.
11:02 She said "if you're driving and the traffic light is turning from green to yellow to red
11:09 and you're driving very fast and you're contemplating, you know, "shall I cross or stop?"
11:15 And then, very quickly you notice a police car standing there at the intersection,
11:22 what will you do?"
11:24 You're going to stop. You know, this finishes contemplation.
11:27 It's done. You're gonna stop.
11:30 So, Ihsan made an invention, a terrible invention. That's a terrible invention.
11:35 She invented a machine that will electronically ticket you whether the police is there or not.
11:41 If you cross at the wrong time, there's an electronic machine there that will give you a ticket.
11:47 Now, what will you do?
11:49 You will stop. you see.
11:53 And the people who believe in God, know that God is with them, closer to them than their jugular vein.
11:58 and therefore, they know that every time they make a mistake, there's an electronic machine that will give them a ticket.
12:06 Now, are the people... do they believe in the police, or do they believe in God?
12:16 You know, they will believe that God is with them and they will know that any time they make a mistake, they'll get a ticket
12:23 and there will be the time to pay those tickets.
12:30 OK. That's another idea.
12:32 The other thing that I want to mention...
12:34 Ahmad, do you want to man the camera?
12:46 We're gonna edit this KHTUBA for you, so if you want a copy of it, we'll give you a copy.
12:56 There is a verse in Sura 68 that says
13:02 "on the day of judgement, every human being will be required, will be invited, because it's a privilege,
13:11 will be invited to fall prostrate before God when He comes to this world,
13:17 but the people who did not make SUJUD here, in this world,
13:23 will not be able to make SUJUD over there.
13:28 And the Quran says "they were invited to make SUJUD when they were able to."
13:36 So, this adds to the importance of the SALAT.
13:42 For if you make SUJUD here, you'll be able to make SUJUD there.
13:49 Finally, there's a a Psalms that I would like to read for you.
14:03 I had the KHUTBA marking it.
14:04 Psalm 62 says "Trust in God Alone"
14:11 "Only in God is my soul at rest. From Him comes my salvation.
14:19 He only is my rock and my salvation
14:24 my stronghold. I shall not be disturbed at all.
14:30 How long will you set upon a man and all together beat him down as though he were a sagging fence, a battered wall?"
14:45 If you put trust in men, in humans, instead of God.
14:51 "...though he were a sagging fence on a battered wall.
14:54 Truly from my place on high, they plan to dislodge me.
14:59 They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but inwardly, they curse.
15:07 Only in God, be at rest, my soul.
15:11 For from Him, comes my hope. He only is my rock and my salvation.
15:16 My stronghold. I shall not be disturbed. With God is my safety and my glory.
15:22 He is the rock of my strength. My refuge is in God.
15:27 Trust in Him at all times, o my people.
15:31 Pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge."
15:35 AQEM AL-SALAT.
