2. 0:17welcome back to unveiling Islam we are
3. 0:21currently
4. 0:22exploring the Kuran and brother
5. 0:27rashed yes I've
6. 0:30heard I've heard that the Quran always
7. 0:33hear stuff I've heard that the Quran is
8. 0:36a miracle and then looking into
9. 0:40this this is one of the one of the main
10. 0:43arguments if not the main argument that
11. 0:45the Quran gives for its Divine Authority
12. 0:48and inspiration so are you familiar with
13. 0:51this claim of course we I think what
14. 0:55it's one of the first things we are
15. 0:57taught when we are reading about the
16. 0:59Quran the Quran is unique nobody can
17. 1:04produce anything like it it's the
18. 1:08Miracle of
19. 1:10Miracles it's um uh the miracle that
20. 1:15Muhammad had and they always use even at
21. 1:19school they used to use this they say in
22. 1:21the time of Jesus medicine was the most
23. 1:26many powerful thing so that's why
24. 1:29healing was the miracle of Jesus in the
25. 1:32time of Moses it was magic so he the
26. 1:34most powerful magic which is not true
27. 1:36when you go I mean magic was all the
28. 1:38time medicine actually we have the most
29. 1:41powerful medicine today so if Muhammad
30. 1:43was going to do something it should have
31. 1:44been done now with medicine and then
32. 1:49those same people say ah but in the time
33. 1:50of Muhammad poetry was the was the most
34. 1:53amazing thing around and Poets were
35. 1:55everywhere the Greeks had poets yeah and
36. 1:58where they get where are they getting
37. 1:59this from that this is the most amazing
38. 2:00thing of the time when you know if you
39. 2:02read the
40. 2:02sources Muhammad's bringing up these
41. 2:05these chapters and the unbelievers are
42. 2:07are just aren't impressed they come on
43. 2:09any anyone can do this actually actually
44. 2:12Arabs they ridiculed the Quran yeah they
45. 2:16ridicul the Quran and and I can read
46. 2:18later um let let us go through the
47. 2:20challenge first all right what is the
48. 2:22what is the challenge as laid out
49. 2:23because this is important to distinguish
50. 2:25like there are Muslims who will say ah
51. 2:26there are scientific miracles in the
52. 2:28Quran or something but that's not that's
53. 2:30not a claim that the Quran it's not the
54. 2:32Quran saying ha scientific Miracles or
55. 2:33something like that but here this is an
56. 2:35actual argument in the Quran itself they
57. 2:38say uh for example Surah 17 ver 88
58. 2:43is say if Mankind and the Jin gathered
59. 2:47in order to produce the like of this
60. 2:50Quran they could not produce the like of
61. 2:52it even if they were to each other
62. 2:55assistance so us as human beings can't
63. 2:59do it and the Jin they can't do it
64. 3:01either so it's the challenge for
65. 3:04everybody and Muslims believe this is
66. 3:06true until today another one and
67. 3:09actually the it started with the whole
68. 3:11Quran it went down to 10 suras for
69. 3:14example um chapter 11 verse 13 Surah HUD
70. 3:20or do they say he invented it of course
71. 3:23he invented it and the response say then
72. 3:26bring 10 suras like it like 10 chapters
73. 3:29now it's not the whole thing it's just
74. 3:31bring 10 bring 10 and then they say it
75. 3:34came to
76. 3:35one for example uh 10 38 s Unis or they
77. 3:40say about the prophet he invented it say
78. 3:43then bring forth a Sur like it bring one
79. 3:48and you know the shortest one has only
80. 3:50three verses yeah very small so they say
81. 3:52bring just three verses bring something
82. 3:55bring bring something uh something tiny
83. 3:57like that we want to give we want to I
84. 3:59want to give people a couple of examples
85. 4:00of what we're talking about here with
86. 4:02these shorter suras uh so we also have
87. 4:05uh so the Quran repeats this over and
88. 4:07over again it does get down to just the
89. 4:09challenge to one Surah we find the same
90. 4:10thing in Surah 2: 23 to 24 if you are in
91. 4:14doubt so no this is always a challenge
92. 4:16for the unbelievers like this is
93. 4:17supposed to impress us so this isn't
94. 4:20supposed to just impress Muslims it's
95. 4:21supposed to be impressive to us but he
96. 4:22says if you are in doubt concerning what
97. 4:24we have sent down to our servant then
98. 4:26bring a sort of like it and call your
99. 4:28Witnesses apart from God if you are
100. 4:31truthful and if you do not and you will
101. 4:34not then be mindful of the fire whose
102. 4:36fuel is men and Stones which is prepared
103. 4:39for the disbelievers so he's saying uh
104. 4:41if you can't bring a chapter like this
105. 4:42and you will not and you won't then get
106. 4:45ready get ready for hell and this is so
107. 4:47weird because I mean imagine someone
108. 4:50coming up saying hey if you can't write
109. 4:51a symphony like Mozart like assuming
110. 4:53this was so even if this were the
111. 4:54greatest thing we we had ever seen if
112. 4:57someone came up and said hey if you
113. 4:58can't write a symphony like mozar you
114. 5:00have to admit that it's the music of God
115. 5:01I'd be like what that doesn't mean that
116. 5:03at all if if you can't write the like
117. 5:05the crime and punishment for thei then
118. 5:08the St is a prophet then he's a prophet
119. 5:09you have to believe everything he says
120. 5:11very that's absurd that's insane that's
121. 5:14absolutely insane and the problem if I
122. 5:16do something like it they will say you
123. 5:18imitated it yeah and if I do something
124. 5:21different they say it's not like it yeah
125. 5:23so there's there's there's no way and
126. 5:25that's the problem this is supposed to
127. 5:27be a challenge for us but they set
128. 5:28themselves up as the judges of the
129. 5:31contest and so it's wait this is a
130. 5:34challenge for us we're supposed to be
131. 5:35impressed by this let me tell you if
132. 5:38they say the Jin and us all together we
133. 5:40cannot produce something like this there
134. 5:43is a Surah in the Quran called Surah Jin
135. 5:47the Jin are talking actually the Quran
136. 5:49is quoting the first 15 verses he's just
137. 5:52quoting the Jin what they're saying so
138. 5:55here they produce 15
139. 5:57verses so if somebody says no he was
140. 6:00like summarizing or paraphrasing what
141. 6:03they are saying then he's not really
142. 6:05faithful to what they have said since
143. 6:09they talk Arabic and they say these
144. 6:11words they should he should just have
145. 6:13quoted them we have quotes from Pharaoh
146. 6:16we have quotes from Moses we have quotes
147. 6:17from everybody in the so they're quoting
148. 6:20in perfect quranic verses that's what
149. 6:22they're that's how they're talking and
150. 6:23then the Quran records them and they all
151. 6:25talk exactly like the Quran talks
152. 6:28exactly and the other the other thing is
153. 6:31as I said Arabs ridiculed the Quran for
154. 6:36example
155. 6:38668 and when you see those who engage in
156. 6:42offense discourse means they're ridicul
157. 6:45in the Quran concerning our verses then
158. 6:48turn away from them until they enter to
159. 6:50another
160. 6:51conversation so they were not impressed
161. 6:53actually they the and there is another
162. 6:56Surah
163. 6:58Surah for
164. 7:0041
165. 7:01140 it says and it has already come down
166. 7:04to you in the book which means the Quran
167. 7:07that when you hear the verses of Allah
168. 7:09recited and they are denied by them and
169. 7:12ridiculed so do not sit with them until
170. 7:15they enter to another conversation and
171. 7:17this is in Medina so people made fun it
172. 7:20was like a show where people gathered
173. 7:23and start making fun of the Quran and
174. 7:25Muhammad actually sitting with them and
175. 7:27then the Allah has to intervene he said
176. 7:29get up and leave because that's not nice
177. 7:32actually yeah there's also in iban asak
178. 7:35there's that guy al- Nader who used to
179. 7:37follow Muhammad around Muhammad would
180. 7:38get up and recite his Revelation and Al
181. 7:40ner would get up after him and also uh
182. 7:43give read some poetry of his own and
183. 7:45then he would challenge the Muslims and
184. 7:46say show me any way that Muhammad's
185. 7:49verses are superior to mine um I don't
186. 7:53think they did they eventually killed
187. 7:54him they eventually killed him after
188. 7:55they captur so David you are not
189. 7:57impressed by the Quran no let me give
190. 7:58you an example because if people aren't
191. 8:00familiar with the crown you mentioned
192. 8:01that some of these are extremely short
193. 8:03let me give a couple examp I will read a
194. 8:04couple of of complete chapters these are
195. 8:06complete chapters so this is Sur 108
196. 8:09this is the uh study Quran so they
197. 8:11translate Allah as God so Surah 108 in
198. 8:14the name of God the compassionate the
199. 8:16merciful truly we have bestowed abundant
200. 8:19good upon thee so pray to thy Lord and
201. 8:22sacrifice truly thine enemy shall be the
202. 8:24one without posterity right that's an
203. 8:27entire chapter yeah Surah 109 you just
204. 8:29read an entire chap by the way we use as
205. 8:32kids memorize these first so we can I
206. 8:34know that quote all so you use them in
207. 8:37prayers because they're quick it will
208. 8:39not take us a long time so we just say
209. 8:40them and we do our duty and we leave and
210. 8:44so uh notice that the quran's challenge
211. 8:46is hey produce something like that it's
212. 8:47like wait some of these are you know
213. 8:49only a couple verses Sor 109 in the name
214. 8:52of God the compassionate the merciful
215. 8:54say oh disbelievers I worship not what
216. 8:57you worship nor are you worshippers of
217. 8:59what what I worship nor am I a
218. 9:00worshipper of what you worship nor are
219. 9:02you worshippers of what I worship unto
220. 9:05you your religion and un religion like
221. 9:08who worships what no no no no this is
222. 9:11this is this is the most amazing thing
223. 9:12no one can write something like that
224. 9:13I'll read one more just because this is
225. 9:15a famous chapter of the CR s 110 in the
226. 9:17name of God the compassionate the
227. 9:19merciful when God's help and victory
228. 9:21come and you see mankind entering God's
229. 9:24religion in throngs hym the praise of
230. 9:26thy Lord and seek forgiveness from him
231. 9:28truly he is ever relenting uh so Muslims
232. 9:32look at this and and you know they're
233. 9:34impressed by this and I would look at
234. 9:37this and I would say I how how can this
235. 9:41possibly be considered so amazing that
236. 9:43you don't think a human being could put
237. 9:45words in this order a human being can
238. 9:47put words in any order but then I get
239. 9:49the response brother Rasheed it only
240. 9:52works in Arabic so even in Arabic even
241. 9:57in Arabic it doesn't it sound sounds
242. 10:00funny sometimes it sounds ridicule it s
243. 10:04i mean of course sometimes there is
244. 10:06poetry and you get like uh for example
245. 10:09with recited with beautiful voices and
246. 10:11you think wow listen to that but the
247. 10:14meaning is empty there is nothing in it
248. 10:17for example can you can you read this in
249. 10:19English and I I'll tell you in Arabic
250. 10:21what it means
251. 10:22u in verse
252. 10:2760 uh sah which is 24 in verse 60 in
253. 10:32English oh you sure it's not 61
254. 10:34sometimes the numbering is different
255. 10:35because of the uh M the beginning yeah
256. 10:3861 61 I'm sorry yeah yeah uh cuz this is
257. 10:41a this is a an interesting verse so
258. 10:42you're saying this is not impressive no
259. 10:45um so it says in English it is no fault
260. 10:48in the blind nor in the one born lame
261. 10:52nor in one Afflicted with illness nor in
262. 10:56yourselves that you should eat in your
263. 10:58own house
264. 10:59or those of your fathers or your mothers
265. 11:01or your brothers or your sisters or your
266. 11:03father's brothers or your father's
267. 11:05sisters or your mother's brothers or
268. 11:07your mothers sisters or in houses of
269. 11:10which the keys are in your possession or
270. 11:12in the house of a sincere friend of
271. 11:14yours there is no blame on you whether
272. 11:16you uh whether you eat in company or
273. 11:18separately and it it just keeps going on
274. 11:21you know I can summarize all this in one
275. 11:23sentence what's that you can eat in your
276. 11:25homes hey that would have been a pretty
277. 11:26good way to say it cuz that's what it
278. 11:28says and plus the meaning I mean all
279. 11:31human beings they knew this they can eat
280. 11:34in their homes it doesn't need this
281. 11:37wasn't something people were confused
282. 11:39about the the RO the Romans were
283. 11:41confused and the Greek were confused
284. 11:43until the Quran came and it was a huge
285. 11:45Revelation to them they were like all
286. 11:47these years we didn't know that we can
287. 11:49eat in our homes it just and so there
288. 11:52you're put there you're you're actually
289. 11:53pointing out hey he just said it's okay
290. 11:55to eat at someone's house but he he it
291. 11:57says oh and if you're blind and if
292. 11:59you're lame or if it's you and yet you
293. 12:01still can't eat in your home and just
294. 12:04nonsense even in Arabic it's nonsense so
295. 12:07it's not impressive in even Arab not
296. 12:09impressive and actually Muhammad was
297. 12:11challenged by Arabs to bring a sign and
298. 12:14he couldn't provide any and and and plus
299. 12:19plus the Arabs say this is inah 8:31
300. 12:24when our verses are recited to them they
301. 12:27say we have heard if we willed we could
302. 12:30we could say like this this is not but
303. 12:34legends of former people so these are
304. 12:37just they weren't they weren't impressed
305. 12:38so they heard it and they said hey this
306. 12:40is a bunch of uh Legends we've heard all
307. 12:42this stuff before uh and so the thing to
308. 12:45keep in mind is this is the main
309. 12:47argument of the Quran or at least one of
310. 12:49them the Quran is so
311. 12:51amazing that it's it's a miracle in the
312. 12:55Arabic language we read it it makes no
313. 12:57sense and
314. 12:59the response from Muslims is ah but if
315. 13:01you knew Arabic then you would see how
316. 13:03beautiful it is and you're saying it's
317. 13:04not the I know Arabic and I say no all
318. 13:06right ladies and gentlemen will you
319. 13:08heard it here the main argument for the
320. 13:11Quran is a horrible disaster and that's
321. 13:14the best um that's the best the god of
322. 13:16Islam could come up with we'll see if
323. 13:19there are any more problems with any
324. 13:20arguments here in upcoming episodes
325. 13:24[Music]
