[Music]

names of the suitors primarily they come

from the Sahaba and Tibetan and a few of

them a very few of them

our prophet sallallaahu I said I'm named

the majority of the suitors he did not

name actually and rather the Sahaba

named it as a marker they named it as oh

this is that surah and that surah and

therefore the names of the suitors are

not divinely revealed the names of the

surah are a matter of HT had that our

early scholars they thought about and

they gave and that's why it is very

common to have multiple names for the

suitors of the Quran if you look up any

book of classical tarsier you look up

top adi for example or even a bin

katheer and subtle buckle he will say

has 17 names so that everyone has so

many names and he'll mention one name

after another the fact that these sewers

have so many names it indicates what did

the Sahaba think about these sewers and

what did the early scholars understand

from these sewers now if somebody were

to say ok if Allah did not reveal these

names and later scholars derived them

why can't I derive a name for a surah

why would what would be wrong if I were

to look a surah across and rename it

something else and we say to this person

look you don't reinvent the wheel

technically it's not her arm if you were

to name the surah something in your mind

but the minute you name those who are

something else somebody will say which

surah is that you will say oh it's surah

a class so what's the purpose of doing

it then right so technically it's not

from Allah so into the names of the

suitors but once it's been done and the

Sahaba and tap your own did it and now

we have this legacy and everybody knows

surah Baqarah ayah surah baqara surah

yaseen a surah yaseen there are other

names found in the classical tradition

what's the point of is just for

knowledge sake that we know there's no

point in reinventing if you like the

wheel and let it be so so that it a

class we understand the oneness of allah

surah 2 towhead we also understand what

is though hate so the Talmud we also

understand and that is the only time the

word of summit occurs in the Quran this

surah is an early maki surah and it was

revealed because of one or two small

questions or incidents that occurred

in early makkah and this is called the

suburban news well as you know of these

incidents is that one of the Quraysh

said that who is this lord of yours that

you're asking us to worship give us his

lineage who is he the father of who is

he the the the the child of because as

you know the Quraysh assigned a lot to

be able to build out the villa the

father of the Angels right you know this

right that they considered the Angels to

be the Banat or the daughters of Allah

and they said okay so the the bubala

this is their version of theology and

they had their own lineage it is also

said one of the Chieftains of Nejd came

and when he heard that the Prophet

system has a new religion he said who is

this lord of yours is he made from

Hashem from food is he made from new

house from copper tell us so that I know

because the idols I worship I know what

I make them from I make them from copper

I make them from would I make them from

iron who is this Lord of yours tell us

what is he about so when these two

incidents occurred Allah subhana WA

Ta'ala revealed to suit the necklace to

answer these questions about who is

Allah Subhanahu WA Ta'ala and by the way

is very interesting a are one of our

scholars remarks that if you look at the

sutras of the Quran Allah Azza WA JAL

has clearly placed the love of two

particular suitors in the hearts of

every single Muslim that they recite

these two sutras almost in every single

Salah and that is so little a class and

surah tell kotha write much all the

Tabarrok Allah of course the reasons

that they recite them we know why they

recite them right but even in this there

is wisdom that out of the whole Quran

the average Muslim who is just

struggling to pray what not which surah

they typically choose in a technical

culture of Allahu Ahad

and each one of them deals with one of

the fundamental pillars of our faith

surat al-ikhlas deals with la ilaha

illaallah so little kotha deals with

mohammed ur rasoolallah and each one of

them is its own perfection in surat

al-ikhlas

they said Allah has a child and Ilana

gated it in sooth alcoa

they said the processor cannot have a

child and allah subhanho wa taala negate

and said that no he is the best of all

creation in national Kahoot and up there

in each one of them they tried to make

tannic post they tried to make to

denigrate the status of Allah and the

status of the prophets awesome via the

issue of a child they ascribe a child to

Allah Allah said no that is not Allah

Azza WA JAL they denied a child to the

profitsystem and Allah said your maqam

is better than just being a father in

the chaka who a laptop so these two

letters are in fact complimentary in

their theme and their motifs and their

size all of these and it is one of the

reasons why some of our scholars

mentioned that allah azzawajal has given

a special kabul for these two suitors

now the surah of course was also very

blessed surah in sahib Oh Hadi we

learned that famous narration that a

particular Sahabi would always recite

certain a class in every single raka and

after he recited fatiha he would then

recite a class and then move on to the

longer surah and I joke here that

unfortunately we stopped at if laws were

never move on to the longer surah we

also recite a class in every single raka

but we stop at a loss as for this Sahabi

he would recite a class between fatiha

and the longer surah and the people got

irritated and they said why are you

doing this and he didn't want to tell

them they complained to the prophet

sallallaahu either you said him he said

go back and ask him why is he doing this

I tell him that I want to know so the

man said leonatus a forum on wha-hey

born across a fighter who because this

surah

it describes a Rahman and I love to read

the descriptions of a Rahman so the

prophet saw some when he heard he said

go back and tell him his hope of this

surah has caused him to enter jannah and

another version his hope of this surah

has called a lot to love him so he loved

surat al-ikhlas and because of that he

entered Jenna now again I sent my joke

here we also a love surah that a class

but not for the right same reasons as he

did our love for certain classes because

it is so small his love for the class

was because of his profound meanings and

that's why we need to understand the

meanings of surat al-ikhlas also we have

in the famous narration also sahiba Hari

that a man heard his neighbor reciting

surah today class

many times at night so he went and he

informed the Prophet sallallahu aleyhi

we sellem

as if he was an owner to call her as if

he was saying my god my neighbor only

recites history class and he wanted him

to recite baccarat or something's like

you know he only recited a class and the

prophet sallallaahu I said him said

wallahi in Ladino through the Quran I

swear by allah surat al-ikhlas is

equivalent to one third of the quran

it's not a trivial matter that you think

he did something small he kept on

reciting because he loved the surah and

it is equivalent to one third of the

Quran in the hadith and saw a Muslim

that the profitsystem asked the Sahaba

who amongst you can recite one third of

the Quran at night they said you had a

suit Allah who amongst us ten Jews and I

how every night who can do this so he

said let me tell you of a surah in

helitack I did you through the Quran it

is equivalent to it is equivalent to our

scholars we'll talk about what they

anyway just mention it here what does it

mean equivalent to obviously equivalent

does not mean that one-third of the

Quran is exactly a clause because if he

recited last three times you don't get

the full Quran it doesn't mean that

equivalent here is that the whole

one-third you cut and paste no

equivalent either in barakah equivalent

either in the meanings because the whole

Quran is about tawheed andrás Allah and

the prophets and they are here so - he

is one-third of the Quran so equivalent

in Baraka or equivalent in profundity or

equivalent in benefit but not equivalent

means the whole Quran one-third equals a

class know because fatiha is its own

ayatul kursi is its own but the point is

to emphasize small surah yet so much

blessing so in this we learn at least

two blessings of certain applause number

one loving surah that a class causes

Allah to love you

causes you to enter Jannah number two

surat al-ikhlas is equivalent to one

third of the Quran in his Baraka and its

blessings that is why our prophet

sallallaahu and he was seldom would

throughout his day have specific times

that he would make it soon to recite a

little a class for example in the Torah

cos a federal he will always recite a

class in Katherine and in the two

Sooners of mullah rib as well he would

do the same and in the two Sundays

to go off as well this would be the same

and in the raca of witted as well he

would typically recite through it in a

class so saluted a class was recited by

him in many different Salah what

throughout the day and that is also

something that we should take up the two

rakahs before fragile the two rakahs

after Maghrib doing Tawaf and the

whitter these are times that our

professor Sam recited surat al-ikhlas

Jade with that long intro that's jump

into the surah and very briefly again as

always time is against us and as I

always give the disclaimer that these

are always quick lectures and if time

permits we can give a much more detailed

than nuanced and and go into a lot of

detail about each word and each you know

grammatical position and maybe for a

later lecture but for now we only have a

short time only we already mentioned in

when we came to if surat al fell off and

so it's not that all here is the

mechanism of emphasis as well especially

because they said who is your Lord so

they wanted a response so Allah saying

this is the response so Cole is always

to emphasize that whatever is going to

follow bold it italicize didn't pay

attention to it well who Allah who I had

the who are here again is a little bit

advanced and what what is the meaning of

who are here because you could have said

who Allah who are hacked and you could

have said all Allahu Ahad is also

permissible to say and linguistically

but you have both the whole and Ahuja

and technically just to be simplistic

both of them are mechanisms to emphasize

what is going to happen and again this

is something that English speakers we

struggle with when you look at the

arabic quran because we have lost the

mechanism to emphasize we don't use

emphasis words anymore if we want to

emphasize we change the tone or if we're

typing the text we put it in bold or

italics or these days with the iphone

you have the fireworks going off when

you type something that's emphasis right

in classical arabic there were a dozen

mechanisms of how to emphasize to make

something heard and to pay attention to

and all these mechanisms in the quran is

one of them of course is in and can and

of them as well is this huwa which is

the technical term is the minutia and

which is basically an emphasis it

doesn't technically linguistically need

to be there but the who are here it

makes you pay attention it makes you say

what what is going on here

well who Allah

indeed he is Allah the one who is ahead

so both of these are emphases another

interpretation the who are here is a

response when they said who is your Lord

so then Allah saying this is what the

Lord is who are here is the response to

their question who is your Lord so then

the who is the response that my lord is

so-and-so

so Oh wha Allahu Ahad now of course the

name of Allah we have of course it is

the most given electric right here about

the name of Allah and it is of course

the primary name of Allah our Creator

and it occurs over three thousand times

in the Quran and there are at least 10

opinions about the HTF arc or the the

root word of this and the majority one

which is by far and also been Abbas

himself said this that the name Allah

comes from aleena the one who is worthy

to be worshiped so the meaning of this

name is the one who has worthiness to be

worshipped and it is the most

comprehensive name of Allah because only

the one who has all perfect attributes

is worthy of worship so when you say the

name Allah you automatically imply he is

a Samia al Bashir al Cahuilla allah aziz

al Jabar he is the one who is a Rahman

al Raheem and medical produce because he

is Allah so he is a lot this means all

of the attributes belong to him that is

why he is Allah ie worthy of worship so

Allah who is Allah he is a head and a

head is of course we all know what the

meaning of a head is even the non Arabs

that understand when Villa was being

tortured what did he say

I don't I had I don't I had a head of

course means one but what is I had

verses wide because why there's also of

the names of Allah and the Quran

mentions who al wha-ha-ha he is the

warhead and he is the ahad what is the

difference between the two again lot of

interpretations the simple one that will

mention for today Alois head is the one

who is one in his essence and sorry one

in his that one in his being and a head

is the one who is unique in his

attributes and his names so the warhead

he is one in being the head he is one in

who he is in his attributes so wha hey

then

they have similar meanings even though a

head is more specific than Wyatt Wyatt

is broader as well for the atoms in the

audience

Alois hidden field is but well a Hadoop

in Nephi RIE to WA hidden lamb ara

a Hayden so one head is for the if bat

and the a head is for the Nephi and as

the people who know Arabic language know

that Nephi is a blonde woman and if but

when it comes to praising so on who

Allahu Ahad

say he is Allah and that's why a lot of

English translations translate ahead as

unique which is a semi valid translation

ahead means there is none like unto Him

he is one and there is none like unto

Him below Allahu Ahad Allah who else

Ahmad Allah is a summit and again the

the fact that the name of Allah reoccurs

because you could have said all who

Allahu Ahad and a summit like many names

occur twice in the horn on is Samir and

Bosnian as easily a game but to

emphasize these two names the name of

Allah is mentioned before each of them

and this brings about an emphasis and

this is the only time in the whole Quran

that the name ahead and the name summit

occurs and so each one of them occurs

after the name of Allah the law flagella

Allah is added and Allah is summit and

if Allah had wanted to he could have

just said I had no summit as he did in

so many other names and that would be

legitimate but the emphasis is not given

the same way when you have Allah is the

add and Allah is the summit even in the

English translation we understand these

two names are being emphasized over here

what is the meaning of summit you have

three or four opinions some of them they

sound a bit bizarre to our ears but

linguistically they make sense of the

classical opinions of a summit and if

you look at for example kitada he said

this in a body a summit he said the

being that has no inner vacuum there is

nothing inside of this being and this

the reason why a summit is used is one

that chieftain of Nejd came and he said

is your Lord made out of copper is your

Lord made out of wood what is this Idol

so a summit no there is nothing inside

there is nothing there is no entity

there is no creation that you are

worshipping that's one interpretation

another interpretation a summit is the

one who does not eat

drink another interpretation a summit is

the one who has perfected all aspects of

leadership and the final and really the

correct interpretation although these

are valid but there's a stronger one and

that it a summit is the one whom the

hearts turned to yes model on whom the

hearts turn to at times of distress and

this is the the precise meaning of a

summit the summit is the one one you're

worried when you are in a severe

situation when you see death or drowning

or sickness when your loved ones are

about to die what happens

even the Kaffir discovers Allah at that

time even the Atheist the mullah Aid at

that point in time says Oh God saved me

this is the summit the summit the one

you turn to when all avenues are cut off

your heart automatically turns to Allah

now the one whom you turn to is all

perfect so he will not eat your drink

there is no internal organs that's

that's what Qatada said no internal

organs this is correct because the one

you turn to is not Mahal

he is harlot so the technical meaning of

a summit the one whom the hearts turned

to at times of distress now ahead and

summit I gave a lecture many months ago

actually before I came when I was still

an e coming back and forth from Memphis

if you remember those of you that

attended we talked very briefly about

the names of Allah and the categories of

the names inshallah maybe one day I'll

give a longer lecture but of the

categories of the names of Allah is a

genre of names where each of the two

names

it occurs together in the Quran and each

one indicates a perfection the first of

them the internal perfection of Allah

the second the perfection of Allah

between him and the Mahalo heart so the

relationship of Allah and the Mahalo is

a second name and a lot in himself is

the first name for example and hey Elka

you me is the most common example and

hey goes back to Allah his life is

perfect Alki um-- a Las relationship

with Amaro he sustains the Mahalo pot

another example is al Hani al Karim

Allah is a honey he needs no one Allah

is al-quran every

needs him you understand did you

understand this point that there are

many examples in the Quran of two names

of Allah that occurred together the

first of these two names it goes back to

the perfection of Allah directly the

second of these two names it goes back

to the perfection of the relationship

between a law with the maha Luke and

there are as we said many examples the

most famous one is a hail poem and also

allah al karim this is another example i

had a summit ahead

allah is perfect in his own that allah

is unique in his own safe at a summit

the whole mahalik art have to go back to

Allah that's the creator the

relationship of the McGrew with the

harlot that is a summit so when who

Allah who I had Allah who summit let me

I did

well amulet now some of the Kara art

they have Lamia lead and then a verse

and an amulet another verse so we have

sue written across to be for for ayat

pululahua Allah who summit let me I did

when a muted well a Michael O'Keefe one

I had right in the carrot of some of the

other scholars of kuratas all of you

should know there are 10 Matata Kara at

that are recited to this day in the

advanced students study them and in once

upon a time they were even more just

like the madda and once upon a time

each region has its own Cara are just

like the mother him each region has its

own and these claret are now only

studied in advanced universities now and

sometimes you have you have the boss

that right sometimes you go into this

carrot and something sounds different

these are the kira ad and they are

interesting for advanced students and

for tafseer and the carrot have many

differences they go back obviously to

early Islam and they also have different

I act endings as well and this is a more

advanced topic word the ayat endings

come from

once again the Sahaba they would listen

to the prophet salallahu alayhi wa

sallam wherever he stopped they would

make an ayah but sometimes as you know

even the kadhi when he's reciting

sometimes to ayat are done and sometimes

the stop is done in the middle so

sometimes we have the same eye of the

Quran in one Thera it is one ayah and

another corrado goes into two ayat so in

the Quran of the people of Makkah and of

the people of Syria in fact we have

hollow Allahu Ahad I

Allah who summit aya Lamia lead aya what

amulet aya

well a miracle Okafor had a Leah right

so that's five and an hour halves an

awesome our Kara by the way is Kufa it's

from Kufa our eyes from the kufan once

upon a time it was with the people of

Kufa recited and Allah willed that this

kufan Kira become the global kara that

90% of the world recites so an our

characters forges she's just FYI for

information sake

so hold on summit let me read one am

unit this is of course a negation of the

questions that the Horus and other said

who is this Lord that you are worshiping

in simple and I give him give us his

nessam who are his ancestors who are his

children

so Allah negates Lamia lead while am

unit and we all understand this let me

lead he does not have any children Allah

says in the Quran and Acuna hawala done

well I'm taco loco saheba how can he

have a child when there is no companion

that he can have Allah Azza WA JAL is

unique in order to have a child you need

to there is no second of Allah there is

no companion of Allah an akuna know who

what when I'm talking the whole sahiba

you're talking about a child there's not

even a second there's not even a

companion it doesn't exist because he is

i had lamb yet it and of course we know

in the quran da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

laka datum shay and EDA taqaddas samovar

- yes a fat porn I mean who attend

Chapel Auto what a huge evil who had

under our Romani what-a-wha my umbrella

Romani and yet ajita wallah they said

Allah has a Rahman has a child they have

brought forth a monstrosity EDA it is a

blatant lie that should cause our blood

to curl it does is the most blatant and

the most insulting life they have

brought forth this monstrosity the

heavens themselves are about to crumble

the mountains are going to collapse

how dare they ascribe a child to Allah

that they have said that allah azza

wajal has a child 1 IM melina Rahman it

is not befitting the journal of Allah

that he have a child

and in Kundu Memphis elevator or the

latter many up there everyone in the

heavens and earth they come to allah

azza maha Luke as a created object that

worships Allah Allah is ahead let me

relate he does not have a child what

amulet and neither was he born of

another he is the old one and the our

here he is the one that has no beginning

latest a cobbler who che and no ending

Lisa bado sure he is the first and the

last

let me read one am unit while am yaqula

lahu coupon ahead and once again again

we all intercede you know you always

have to bring in Arabic because Arabic

grammar and what because obviously the

language of the Quran is Arabic so all

we always sometimes we have to say

things that indicate a little bit of

what is called Bulava and not how and

solve all of these things because that's

how you interpret the Quran so well I'm

yaqula lahu coupon ahead technically

speaking here voilá mia cowan ah ha dong

roof and Lihue this is how a normal

sentence would occur in most other texts

if you were just have a text like this

the standard way voila mia cowan ahead

goof allahu and there is no one that is

similar unto him but in the quran the

word order is reversed reversed and

anytime there is a change in order in

the norm it's for a reason obviously

right is for a reason of eloquence and

of course the reason here so you

understand obviously well Emil Kolar who

go for an ahead that I had here is

actually the subject and Allah puts the

subject at the end and the cool one

ahead is of course the what should come

at the end and he puts it in the front

why because what is being emphasized is

not the subject here but rather that

there is none like the subject so the

emphasis Kufa one ahead is being put in

the beginning what a miracle oh cool one

ahead right so the the fact that there

is none that is similar to Allah there

is none similar unto him so what is

being negated is put at the beginning

because that's the point of the verse

there is none goof is to be equivalent

to goof is to be similar to and so Allah

is saying there is none that is even

similar unto him and of course negation

implies as you know when you negate

this is the height of perfection when it

comes to negating any evil or whatnot in

the Arabic language you have its battle

Nephi and when you have Nephi when you

have the negation this implies the

perfection of the opposite when you say

there is none similar unto him this goes

back to the name of Allah and he is

unique and perfect so the name ahead and

Lamia California had are exact opposites

but they're saying the same thing

the first is affirmation ahead and the

second is negation

there is nothing similar to him and the

affirmation in negation when they come

together that is the perfection like in

our Colima la ilaha ill allah we are

negating Allah then we are affirming

Allah the negation and affirmation come

together is perfection so that an eClass

demonstrates this well am i cool ah hoo

hoo for an ahead and this is our short

of seed of soda to floss and the

takeaway point this surah explains to us

who is Allah subhana WA Ta'ala it will

cause us to understand a Las names

I had a las names a summit the eternal

nature of Allah subhana WA Ta'ala it

will cause us to appreciate Allah and

then to worship Allah because the

meaning of a summit the one whom we turn

to for our needs and it is a surah that

is blessed so much so that it is

equivalent to one third of the Quran in

blessing may Allah subhana WA Ta'ala

cause us to love the surah so that our

love for this order can cause us to

enter Jannah and will continue tomorrow
