alhamd we start in the name of Allah the
compassion of merciful all praise is due
to Allah the almighty and May the peace
and blessings of Allah be upon his
Prophet Muhammad his family his
companions and his followers all until
the day of Resurrection I welcome you to
this second um lesson of the series
an in Zed academy and of course uh we're
very happy to be with you and we already
explained in the previous lesson the
meaning of tap and how tap is being
taken from uh certain uh sources and of
course we explained all that in detail
now how would we uh let's address to
today the uh development of T how tap
started in
history from the time when it started at
the time uh the first revelation upon
the prophet sallallahu alaihi Al
wasallam until the um authorization uh
authoring all these books on T that we
find today which is mashallah um big
number of of books of tap with all the
differences among the various uh books
of tap let me explain that and we're
going to cover how this is uh this is
developed first uh the Glorious Quran
itself U explained some of the terms of
part of it uh sometimes it comes in in
in the same Surah or in different Surah
it sometimes the the word itself is
being explained or particular terms as I
explained in the previous lesson we
talked about for
example and then immediately the
Glorious Quran
says
so that is that is the first one uh to
to start with and then it explains in in
the following ayas the meaning of the uh
term so that
is so explaining Quran via the Glorious
Quran secondly and I'm talking now about
General let me not not explain the whole
thing but give you the uh the um first
How uh
developed then the T of the Prophet
sallallah alai wasallam he would explain
to the companions the meaning of this
particular Ayah either uh he himself
would explain or uh in answering some of
their questions regarding some
particular AAS or a companion would
understand um would not understand the
meaning and then the prophet would
correct that understanding by giving the
right explanation
and then the or the
companions they would give you the
meaning as well of what a particular
Ayah would mean and then we talk about
after the generation of the sahab or the
companions of the Prophet peace be upon
Him of course we come to the uh
of the second generation the following
generations of the uh
and then we talk about the T of the
scholars of uh of alquran Scholars of T
themselves who actually uh wrote uh
books sometimes short or long uh
regarding the meaning of the Glorious
Quran based on their own understanding
their own knowledge their own uh
understanding of language and so on let
me uh explain first the uh these five
stages first uh the uh T based on the
Glorious Quran itself so Quran itself uh
uh explains what Quran what qur what
some of the verses are in in the
Glorious Quran or either in a different
uh Surah for example um I explained I
gave you the example in the previous
lesson uh
regarding so Allah explains about the
Striking Calamity that
is and he
said what do you know about and then
it's when people
spread um like uh these uh uh uh uh
butterflies who are uh you know
scattered just just like to give you an
explanation of what that is one of the
names of uh the days of Al so that is
that is one our also gave you the
example
of Man was created so
anxious so when he's being touched by U
uh evil he is uh unhappy um and
he is you know very fearful of what H
what happened to him and if he's been
touched by good then he would uh he
would be uh with withholding whatever
Allah has given him so that is that is
how the Quran itself explains what Quran
is secondly we talk about
the of the Prophet
s now of course there are some general
statements or general ayas that were uh
revealed in the Glorious Quran and then
the
prophet would address specifically the
meaning of a general aah or um when
there's a a very wide term he would
specify exactly what it means um let me
explain to you because sometimes we get
this understanding when when people say
well it's not explained in the in in the
Sunnah what is the meaning of
uh establish Salah and give uh out zakah
how would we do that well it's not
explained in the Quran how we exactly
move from one position to another what
we say inside
each Salah it is not explained in the
Glorious Quran however it is explained
in the Sunnah so the prophet Alat made
made sure that he explained in
details uh what a person uh says and
does in his or her Salah so that is that
is how uh the the these General uh
statements have been made uh so uh clear
and um and how could we put them into
into practice it is by the of the
prophet and the prophet Alat for example
explained uh the word Z meaning the
extra thing that is being added Allah
says in the Glorious Quran in
Surah for those who did well they are
giving
Al and extra something beyond that what
is what is the extra besides alna when
Allah rewards uh the the believing men
and women with uh with Paradise with
Jenna Allah and then they would be given
an extra and that extra is to gaze at
the countenance of Allah subhanahu wa
taala which is to look at the face of
Allah subhah
waala as was reported by IM Muslim in
his Hadith so that is what is what is
meaning what the meaning of Z in in this
respect so that is that is important and
uh in this uh respect um you would be
asked for example what is uh the meaning
ofran Quran and Quran how would you how
how would you you know give me give me
examples of how would the Quran explains
itself look through the Glorious Quran
and find examples also find examples how
in the Hadith of the Prophet peace be
upon him you can go back to some of the
books of
Hadith and look for some explanations of
the go Quran some some authors in in in
the books of Hadith have given like um
explaining uh the glorious Quran you'd
find that in the books of Hadith find
out uh these and um and and take the
examples secondly uh the people of
knowledge talked about uh the uh gazing
at the countenance of Allah subhana T
looking at the face of Allah subh of
course on the day of judgment who's
going to be able to do that can you can
you go a go ahead and and find the um
various opinions regarding um looking at
Allah subhana T of course no one is able
to see Allah in um in in this life
however uh the believing men will will
see him and of course you you'll come
across some of the ayas uh like
uh so beautiful shining uh faces will be
looking at uh Allah to to um their Lords
that is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala so I
need you to mention some of that so
these are the things uh that we are
addressing uh and it's very very
important to first Depend and look at
the explanation and interpretation of
the Glorious Quran from the Quran itself
that's why one has to be knowledgeable
of the Glorious Quran itself and then
you go into the Hadith of the Prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam because what
was what would come in general would be
specified and explained in details by
the
prophet and then also some other uh uh
opinions which which all come inshallah
in the coming episode regarding the uh
uh three uh other ways of how T
developed through history and how it
depended first on the explanation of the
Quran by the Glorious Quran and the
explanation of the Quran by the Sunnah
and Hadi of the prophet
sallam and I'm very happy and glad to be
with you and inshallah in the coming
episode we'll cover the other ways and
how this developed through uh history
until we have today all these uh books
uh huge books of Tere that have been
developed and are easy and and
accessible uh to all the students of
knowledge until I see you inshallah in
the coming uh lesson I leave you with
