Qur'an by Sheikh Gabriel Keresztes No. 16

 Today I learned about the Qur'an:                                               (I missed some classes):

But when the truth came to them from Us, they said, "Why was he not given like that which was given to Moses?" Did they not disbelieve in that which was given to Moses before? They said, "[They are but] two works of magic supporting each other, and indeed we are, in both, disbelievers."

When people are faced with the truth then they will make up excuses, prophet Musa and prophet Muhammad are similar, they were born from parents, they had revelations, they were both leaders.

Say, "Then bring a scripture from Allah which is more guiding than either of them that I may follow it, if you should be truthful."

Is there nothing better than teh Qur'an.

But if they do not respond to you - then know that they only follow their [own] desires. And who is more astray than one who follows his desire without guidance from Allah? Indeed, Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

When Prophet said "Wear a Hijab," then the people will wear something different than a Hijab.

And We have [repeatedly] conveyed to them the Qur'an that they might be reminded.

Allah has shown people the right path, and they ignore it.

Those to whom We gave the Scripture before it - they are believers in it.

Many submit to Allah when they listen to the Qur'an, even before you believe in Islam it, you submit to Allah.

Those will be given their reward twice for what they patiently endured and [because] they avert evil through good, and from what We have provided them they spend.

People who give money for the sake of Allah, we need to do Dakwa.

And when they hear ill speech, they turn away from it and say, "For us are our deeds, and for you are your deeds. Peace will be upon you; we seek not the ignorant."

For people who talk bad, Muslims turn their backs agent them.

Indeed, [O Muhammad], you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills. And He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.

Allah knows what is in our hearts, our promise is to spread the truth.

And they say, "If we were to follow the guidance with you, we would be swept from our land." Have we not established for them a safe sanctuary to which are brought the fruits of all things as provision from Us? But most of them do not know.

How can you be losers when you stand with Allah.

And how many a city have We destroyed that was insolent in its [way of] living, and those are their dwellings which have not been inhabited after them except briefly. And it is We who were the inheritors.

Humans are insolent in our ways of living.

And never would your Lord have destroyed the cities until He had sent to their mother a messenger reciting to them Our verses. And We would not destroy the cities except while their people were wrongdoers.

Allah does not destroy some-place without a warning.

And whatever thing you [people] have been given - it is [only for] the enjoyment of worldly life and its adornment. And what is with Allah is better and more lasting; so will you not use reason?

This dunya is Heaven for non-muslims, and prison for a Muslim, but if we switch it around, it means that Muslims have Jannah, and the non-muslims have Jahannah, in this dunya is beautiful, now imagine Jannah, are you taking this Dunya, or are you waiting for Jannah.

Then is he whom We have promised a good promise which he will obtain like he for whom We provided enjoyment of worldly life [but] then he is, on the Day of Resurrection, among those presented [for punishment in Hell]?

Allah will let some-people injoy life, if this dunya is good, then Jannah will be more beautiful than this dunya.

And it will be said, "Invoke your 'partners' " and they will invoke them; but they will not respond to them, and they will see the punishment. If only they had followed guidance!

And [mention] the Day He will call them and say, "What did you answer the messengers?"

Those who gave you the message of Allah, what did you do.

But the information will be unapparent to them that Day, so they will not [be able to] ask one another.

We will not be perfect, the most emportent thing to do is repent.

And your Lord creates what He wills and chooses; not for them was the choice. Exalted is Allah and high above what they associate with Him.

You don't know what he wants, you can't play a guessing game about Allah, Allah knows your thoughts.

And He is Allah ; there is no deity except Him. To Him is [due all] praise in the first [life] and the Hereafter. And His is the [final] decision, and to Him you will be returned.

Allah is to be worshiped, we will praise Allah for putting us in Jannah.

Say, "Have you considered: if Allah should make for you the night continuous until the Day of Resurrection, what deity other than Allah could bring you light? Then will you not hear?"

Say, "Have you considered: if Allah should make for you the day continuous until the Day of Resurrection, what deity other than Allah could bring you a night in which you may rest? Then will you not see?"

And [warn of] the Day He will call them and say, "Where are my 'partners' which you used to claim?"

At night you sleep, there is a chemical that will actavate when you are in the dark, there is a clock in your brain (not a REAL clock), that shows how Allah made us, it did not just happen.

                                                                                                                                                                                                     

Qur'an by Sheikh Gabriel Keresztes No. 25

 Today I learned about the Qur'an:

And the heart of Moses' mother became empty [of all else]. She was about to disclose [the matter concerning] him had We not bound fast her heart that she would be of the believers.

Allah restored Musa to his mother, Allah controls your life, his mother trusted Allah with her son.

And when he attained his full strength and was [mentally] mature, We bestowed upon him judgement and knowledge. And thus do We reward the doers of good.

And he entered the city at a time of inattention by its people and found therein two men fighting: one from his faction and one from among his enemy. And the one from his faction called for help to him against the one from his enemy, so Moses struck him and [unintentionally] killed him. [Moses] said, "This is from the work of Satan. Indeed, he is a manifest, misleading enemy."

These guys are fighting, and he punched the egyptian and killed him, ONE punch, killed him, Musa was so strong that he killed the man.

And when he wanted to strike the one who was an enemy to both of them, he said, "O Moses, do you intend to kill me as you killed someone yesterday? You only want to be a tyrant in the land and do not want to be of the amenders."

And a man came from the farthest end of the city, running. He said, "O Moses, indeed the eminent ones are conferring over you [intending] to kill you, so leave [the city]; indeed, I am to you of the sincere advisors."

This person told Musa that people wanted to kill him, so he left, he was fearful, he is praying to Allah for protection from the people who want to kill him.

So he left it, fearful and anticipating [apprehension]. He said, "My Lord, save me from the wrongdoing people."

And when he came to the well of Madyan, he found there a crowd of people watering [their flocks], and he found aside from them two women driving back [their flocks]. He said, "What is your circumstance?" They said, "We do not water until the shepherds dispatch [their flocks]; and our father is an old man."

So he watered [their flocks] for them; then he went back to the shade and said, "My Lord, indeed I am, for whatever good You would send down to me, in need."

Then one of the two women came to him walking with shyness. She said, "Indeed, my father invites you that he may reward you for having watered for us." So when he came to him and related to him the story, he said, "Fear not. You have escaped from the wrongdoing people."

She was shy.

One of the women said, "O my father, hire him. Indeed, the best one you can hire is the strong and the trustworthy."

He said, "Indeed, I wish to wed you one of these, my two daughters, on [the condition] that you serve me for eight years; but if you complete ten, it will be [as a favor] from you. And I do not wish to put you in difficulty. You will find me, if Allah wills, from among the righteous."

For 8 years he worked for the man.

[Moses] said, "That is [established] between me and you. Whichever of the two terms I complete - there is no injustice to me, and Allah, over what we say, is Witness."

From one Ayat to the other it is a decade (10 years).

And when Moses had completed the term and was traveling with his family, he perceived from the direction of the mount a fire. He said to his family, "Stay here; indeed, I have perceived a fire. Perhaps I will bring you from there [some] information or burning wood from the fire that you may warm yourselves."

It was cold and Musa saw a burning bush, Musa checks it out.

But when he came to it, he was called from the right side of the valley in a blessed spot - from the tree, "O Moses, indeed I am Allah, Lord of the worlds."

Allah is speaking to Musa from a burning bush.

And [he was told], "Throw down your staff." But when he saw it writhing as if it was a snake, he turned in flight and did not return. [ Allah said], "O Moses, approach and fear not. Indeed, you are of the secure.

Allah was training Musa, Musa was scared for he was a prophet, Musa was going though signs that show a prophet.

Insert your hand into the opening of your garment; it will come out white, without disease. And draw in your arm close to you [as prevention] from fear, for those are two proofs from your Lord to Pharaoh and his establishment. Indeed, they have been a people defiantly disobedient."

Allah tells him to go to Firaun but Musa was still afraid.

He said, "My Lord, indeed, I killed from among them someone, and I fear they will kill me.

[ Allah ] said, "We will strengthen your arm through your brother and grant you both supremacy so they will not reach you. [It will be] through Our signs; you and those who follow you will be the predominant."

But when Moses came to them with Our signs as clear evidences, they said, "This is not except invented magic, and we have not heard of this [religion] among our forefathers."

The Qur'an skips everything that is in between.

And Moses said, "My Lord is more knowing [than we or you] of who has come with guidance from Him and to whom will be succession in the home. Indeed, wrongdoers do not succeed."

And Pharaoh said, "O eminent ones, I have not known you to have a god other than me. Then ignite for me, O Haman, [a fire] upon the clay and make for me a tower that I may look at the God of Moses. And indeed, I do think he is among the liars."

This is so ARROGANT.

And he was arrogant, he and his soldiers, in the land, without right, and they thought that they would not be returned to Us.

So We took him and his soldiers and threw them into the sea. So see how was the end of the wrongdoers.

Moses Drowned the wrongdoers.

And We made them leaders inviting to the Fire, and on the Day of Resurrection they will not be helped.

And We caused to overtake them in this world a curse, and on the Day of Resurrection they will be of the despised.

And you, [O Muhammad], were not on the western side [of the mount] when We revealed to Moses the command, and you were not among the witnesses [to that].

 Christianity is not following Allah.

But We produced [many] generations [after Moses], and prolonged was their duration. And you were not a resident among the people of Madyan, reciting to them Our verses, but We were senders [of this message].
