do you w to know what makes knowled grow
then everybody watch Dean show
alhamdulillah peace be unto you welcome
to another episode of the dean show
we're here trying to help you understand
Islam and Muslims and today we have a
very very important topic we're going to
be talking about the verbatim word of
God Almighty Allah the Quran we know
that every messenger that God Almighty
sent he sent with Revelation he sent
with scripture just to name a few Moses
he came with the
Torah Abraham he came with the scripture
Jesus peace be upon him he came with
theel the gospel not the gospels and the
last and final messenger sent to mankind
of prophet Muhammad peace be upon him he
came with the Quran this is the verbatim
word of God but how do we know because
the previous scriptures they were
changed altered edited by man how do we
know that this book we have
is indeed unchanged unaltered unedited
that it is indeed the verbatim word of
God we're going to be talking about the
compilation how it came did it just fall
down from the heavens how was it
revealed over a span of 23 years and my
next guest Dr Muhammad MDU who is the
former Professor from the John Hopkins
University he's going to help us tackle
this topic when we come back on the dean
show we'll be right back
there's only one God and muham is his
messenger
Allah
Allah there's only one Jesus was his
messenger I don't know why I did that
maybe maybe it's just to break the
ice peace be unto you do
how are you doing F alhamdulillah thank
God thank God you're good I'm good we're
all good alhamdulillah I'm very happy
here very happy as well it seems like
we're the I mean look I I don't need to
boast or anything but it seems like the
Muslims are the most happiest people
they're always like thank God you ask
the Muslim how you doing alhamdulillah
he just says thank God thank God thank
God we do that that's amazing another
side nothing is better than thanking God
that's it another side of the many we're
just wanting to be Godly people and you
know what this book this Quran we're
talking about today yeah we want to know
how it was compiled because this is an
instruction manual okay that is for the
whole of mankind so many people our
non-muslim audience you know they've
heard this word there's a lot of
misconceptions so how can we give them
this assurance that this is indeed
Revelation from the one who created us
talk a little bit about this book the
Quran the beginning stages and we'll go
from there I'm going to pick your brain
I'm just so excited talk to us sh thank
you little bit is very little so
yeah elaborate on this issue because
it's an important issue and we need
every human being on the earth to know
how this Quran came to us well protected
well preserved nothing changed in it and
when you look at it from many
perspective one perspective if you look
at it and if you trust God's words when
he said that in the Quran itself indeed
I sent down the whole Quran and indeed I
will keep it
unchanged this is first of all if we if
a person believes that this is the word
of God and he would fly in this word so
it
absolutely would believe that it is
that's a stamp that's a stamp I this is
I guarantee it it's certified God is
certified absolutely mam no one Muhammad
is the receiver of yeah that's it just
like Jesus Moses they were all receivers
all all of them are receivers and here
with with really I'd like to and the
other one is that I will prove it
exactly as it happened I'll explain the
steps and I leave everybody to think of
how authentic this issue is we Muslims
believe that step by step there is
nothing that you can find any Gap that
any person on the earth that can prove
that there is a change that happened and
in fact Almighty Allah himself in the
Quran said that had it been from any
other source except Almighty Allah
people would have plenty of
discrepancies and contradictions in it
and this is not the case there's not a
single contradiction and I'm quite sure
that if any single contradiction had
been proved Muslims would quit the Quran
be finished
finished absolutely absolutely
absolutely every child every old man or
old woman every young person everyone
believes that this is from God not only
that still the Quran itself made a
challenge to people and it's not blind
we're not blind we have evidence the
Quran itself says that if you can do
something similar to it go ahead and
show us so talk to us talk to us now
because when we say the Quran was
revealed that it just fall out of this
Heavens or how did this work of course
no tell us it didn't fall it didn't fall
from Heaven at all the story is first of
all the first step I want you I will
tell you the name of the steps first of
all the Quran was with Almighty Allah in
a something called the preserved tablets
this is a
tablet a
as Allah said in the
Quran indeed it is a glorious Quran that
it is preserved in the preserved tablet
what is this preserved tablet I give
just very quick H it's a tablet that has
all the history of
humanity everything in this universe
that happened or will happen it's
already there everything is there since
the creation of the pen when Allah
created it and commanded it to write and
it t everything that will happen in this
universe until the day of judgment this
is called the preserved
tablet the Quran was there and it was in
a place
called B the house of power or the place
of power this is how accurate the
Muslims would know even when it was with
Almighty Allah subhana wa tala so they
preserved tablets in a place called
yeah then it was sent
down to yes the lower Heaven mhm yeah as
a whole yeah the Quran that which tells
you a message here that Almighty Allah
KN very well everything that will happen
to the universe so it came down to the
lowest level of of of Heaven which is
called yes B this place is B so
from preserved to
B the house of power and it remained
there until yeah and and the verse that
says
this this process or this step took
place in the night of power which is
usually the 27th of the month of Ramadan
the Quran came as a whole mhm to the
lowest heaven to the lowest sky and it
remained there and from there when
Muhammad peace be upon Him became a
messenger of Allah jiel used to whenever
jiel commanded by Almighty Allah to take
this verse by memorization so jbel would
memorize the verse and would teach this
verse to Prophet Muhammad sallallahu
alhi wasallam so the Quran came in
installments across 23 years whenever an
event incident something happens the
Allah subhana T commands jel to come up
with the verse or the verses that
address this issue and it was sent to
Muhammad peace be upon him by the same
Angel is the same
angel angel absolutely the same Angel
who gave the message to Moses the same
Angel who gave the message to Abraham
the same message the same messenger or
the same Angel Gabriel who gave the
message to Jesus okay uh he is the same
one same
and here's one one thing that a person
may think of jel may
have perhaps made a mistake and this is
when you know
the whole religion when you know that
Allah created angels who do not make
mistakes the default of an Angel he
doesn't make mistake not like humans we
are humans we make mistakes but angels
Don't do mistakes angels Don't Make
Mistakes we're going to take a break and
we'll be back on a de show we'll be
right back no speech is better than to
do that to call people to Allah and to
do the work no speech is better no
nothing is better than that is it true
that if one person on the Allah giving
you the ability to guide someone with
Allah's permission the Creator's
permission that is better than
everything in this world better than the
whole world and everything that's in it
in in another narration it's better than
the best of wealth but if we really felt
that Eddie Would we not be out giving da
and this is something that we encourage
all the msas all the da organizations
the mids to get this we want to print
more we give these to the non-muslims
for free for free for free we want our
brothers in
[Music]
humanity we're back we left off where
the Archangel jabriel Gabriel he is the
one who is sending giving the the
instructions the Revelation to the
prophet Muhammad peace absolutely and
yes you as I said that this process took
23
years perhaps an the angel would come to
Muhammad Sall alhi wasallam this day and
would give would teach him some verses
two or three or five lines according to
the situation and perhaps after 3 months
or after 3 days or after 20 days or
after a day or so would come with
another Revelation and so on so now so
we guaranteed it is guaranteed that it
is from Almighty Allah the message came
to jabel 100% correct and from jabel to
Muhammad peace be upon him it's 100%
correct and from Muhammad peace be upon
him to human beings to the Companions
and to the other people 100%
correct now we are talking about those
human beings the companions of the
prophets and the followers and us how
did they keep the Quran without change
now as I said that jiel would come to
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
and teach him one or two or three or
four verses from the Quran mhm and the
way he taught him like anyone who
teaches any human being he would say the
verse Muhammad would repeat the verse
and he would review it one two three
times until yeah Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wasallam
would learn these verses by listening by
listening like exactly how children
learn nowadays they listen to a song
they listen to a poem and they memorize
it yes because of the repetition yeah uh
so this process continued with the
prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wasallam until somewhere in the middle
of the message Almighty Allah
subh has said in the Quran he Muhammad s
alhi wasallam
Allah is saying in this verse that he
Muhammad don't bother we are going to
guarantee that to ensure that once you
listen to the verse you are going to
memorize divine intervention divine
intervention first of all it was human
effort and the wisdom behind that it
shows us how to learn the Quran how to
teach it to others and how to memorize
it by yourself yeah so it's a human act
to tell us how to teach each other the
Quran and this is how all the people who
teach the Quran they use the same
methodology that had been used by
jabriel with Muhammad peace be upon him
now there's a divine intervention
guaranteeing that every word Muhammad s
alaihi wasallam would hear he would
memorize it it's not a human effort it's
a Divine effort yeah what happens when
Muhammad peace be upon him receive
few aat few verses few lines from the
Quran after he memorizes them he would
immediately teach them to the Companions
and this process was continuing in the
life of the Prophet sallallah whenever
he receives a message he would memorize
it and he would teach it to people and
people used to do two things to
memorize by repetition by listening from
the prophet sallallah Ali wasallam and
the prophet am used to review this and
he would ask them go ahead and say it
and he would correct them until they
memorize it many of the Companions and
he selected four people they are called
four scribes the people who the writers
of the Revelation during his time while
he's during his time while he's alive in
his house not 100 years later 200 this
is in his house while he was alive and
in his house because why I'm saying I'm
stressing in his house because there are
many other people outside they used to
write the Quran by themselves yeah yeah
but this process is taking place in the
house of the prophet sallam and he
himself was checking the authenticity of
their writing yeah of course here is an
issue if the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam didn't know how to read or
write and we know that Muslims know that
the prophet sallam confirmed uniter un
confirmed Allah said in the Quran yes
non-bias historians also confirmed this
so this is oh yeah okay absolutely yeah
yeah if if he knows how to write he
would attribute the Quran to himself you
never do that yeah anyway here so the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam would
after he teaches those four people and
they start writing and those four people
every Muslim almost know them by
heart it's
Z and this is a very big name famous
that he is from those
the the cousin of the Prophet sallu alai
wasallam
and those are the four people who used
to write the Quran in the house of the
Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
whenever the Revelation com through the
prophet sallallah alaihi wasallam he
learns it and he sends for them he calls
them they come and he asks them to write
now four people are writing not one copy
each one of them is writing his
own copy yeah so now now this Z is
writing and then alali is writing and
then
uh is writing and then is writing the
four of them are writing at the same
time then when they finish writing the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam would
recite again and would ask them to
review what they have written because
the prophet Sall didn't know how to read
so he would ask them to review what they
have written and he would recite again
and according to his recit
they guarantee they ensure that this
matches what the prophet Sall so now you
should understand that there are two
processes are parallel to each other one
is the oral repetition from which a lot
of people memorize the Quran and the
other time the other thing is that the
writing of the Quran I'd like to
elaborate to tell people here the
audience and the viewers that of course
the writing at that time it did it's not
it's not similar to the writing that we
have have now uh and if a person knows
Arabic yeah he would know what I mean
for example the most of the writing of
Arabic language in all the newspapers in
all other countries you will find that
it's not written with the vowel system
this is the nature of Arabic language
you can write the L the word with the
vowel or without the vowel you know let
me give you an example in English if I
apply this to English yes uh we write
the word please and the short hand of it
is plz nowadays plz so is you're
dropping the vowels from there just
keeping the consonants this is an
embedded quality of Arabic language or
like bed yeah right absolutely BD yeah
yeah exactly there are many examples of
that so yeah so they would understand
what this is absolutely so the Quran the
first form of it was written like that
without vows yes and even without do
mhm I will elaborate on this later on so
the writing process was going on and on
and from time to time jabriel would come
and review with the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam the amount of the Quran
that had been revealed during this
period of time whether it's six months
or one year right jbel would review with
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasall his
memorization to check that everything is
correct and to tell us also another
message that we need to review this from
time to time you can memorize the whole
Quran but after some time you will
forget so you need all the time to
review and review so this is this now
the Quran is written how was it written
it was written on pieces of
leather Leathers of animal it was
written on some bones of animals like
the shoulder because it's big and you
can see many examples in the book of
Islamic books of these
and also it was written on some pieces
of wood whatever material that they
could write on it yes they wrote on it
and of course this was saved in the
house of the Prophet particularly in the
house of AA the Lost wife of the Prophet
sallallahu alai the the the youngest
wife of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam this was kept there you can
imagine year after year year after year
it's growing and it took very
big what was going on outside the house
this was going on inside the house of
the Prophet outside of the Prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam everyone
would hear some verses would memorize it
and would teach it to his family members
or to his friends and the prophet
sallallah Al wasallam himself used to
encourage Muslims to learn the Quran he
said that the best amongst you is the
one who learns the Quran who memorizes
the Quran and he teaches it to others so
it was always in the hands of the people
absolutely as soon as it came down is
being taught so yeah absolutely so
people would teach it to each other they
memorize it because the reason is they
need it in their prayer because in our
prayer when we pray our daily prayer
five daily prayers we need to recite
something from the Quran so they need
some material some stuff to recite while
they are doing their performing their
prayer so this process was going on and
on and on and some people some of the
companions outside the house of the
Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam also
used to write the Quran they memorize it
and those of them that who were not
illiterate who could read and write so
they used to write people are excited
they're just writing anyone who has
absolutely treasure something coming
from Almighty Allah there this was going
on outside outside the house of the
Prophet just like probably right now
someone's listening to you wrri notes
from that's what we do lectures people
say they take notes and they were taking
notes yeah the people who were educated
who could write could write and the
people didn't they used to memorize and
this
after 23 years the Quran was completed
and it was in the house of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam and for
Virgin of the of the Quran was written
and the prophet Salli wasallam reviewed
all of them you said virsion just to
elaborate is that someone might think
also you got four different variations
of the Quan it's the one that I wrote
the one that was written by alali and
the one that was written WR
by and the one was written
by the same Quran the same teacher in
the same place and all of them kept
together mhm In The House of the Prophet
sallallah alhi wasallam this was the
case when the house of the Prophet the
approximate number of the people who
memorized the Quran at the time of the
Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam when
he died the approximate number figure
was 200 memorizers and few others this
was the known one because some people
who might have memorized the Quran
outside but we didn't know them the
history did not record but but even
those names the 200 names can be
mentioned to you yes when you uh dig in
the history of Islam and you find the
authentic books of Islam you will find
the names of all those ones who memorize
the Quran and so 200 memorizers and four
copies written and kept in the house of
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
uh written on leather written on Bones
written on pieces of wood and written
were kept in the house of the Prophet
particularly in the room or in the house
of the main thing now it's being it's
memorized memorized byor now we're
having the written form put down so in
two ways now memorized yes by Route
memory by heart and at the same time
it's written on paper written on
documents written on leather and other
things that were used at that time we're
going to have to cut to a break and
we're going to continue on here on the
dean show talking about the verbatim
word of God the Quran how it was
compiled here with Dr Muhammad M we'll
be right back here on the D show I from
a science major when you look at the
Bible and it says the the Earth has four
corners that's wrong
if any Christian can point out a single
unequal statement a single unambiguous
statement where Jesus Christ peace be
upon himself say that I am God always
say worship me I'm ready to accept
[Music]
Christianity welcome back to the dean
show we are here talking about the
compilation of the verbatim word of God
Almighty in Arabic we say Allah here
with Dr Mandu please continue on telling
us okay uh this now here is the
situation
I'd like to review it with everybody so
everybody would be sure of what was
going
exactly but let me tell you that thing
that by the every Muslim say that we
know that the four people who were
writing the Quran by name and by history
and by biography you would find in any
ration that they were five people or six
people every Muslim knows that they were
four people I mentioned their names many
time and here is the situation the Quran
came from Almighty
Allah excuse
me from the preserved tablet to the
lowest heaven in as a whole and then it
was an
installments according to the events and
the incidents that took place at the
time of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam and let me elaborate on things
though some of the verses of the Quran
were not just addressing what happens in
the house of the Prophet Sall wasallam
what happens in Medina what happens in
mecah it was add in something Global
even something for example some battles
between the Romans and the Persian the
Quran address them the Quran was
addressing a lot of things not only
things that were happening in the place
of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam is it true if I can interject
that there was also uh the Creator
correcting the prophet peace be upon him
in the Quran they where the Creator is
correcting the prophet peace be upon him
he would say something and say like when
he
was discipline disciplining him he was
teaching him the good morals for example
even in the Quran itself if the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam would do an
act that does not befit yeah his status
Allah subhana Wa tala Would correct him
for example if he ignored somebody Allah
subhana Wa tala Would send him a verse
telling him to do this and that and and
if if he does anything that it does not
beit him for example a very famous story
and this is very interesting for people
to know what the context of the word
inshallah you find a lot of Muslims
almost every Muslim uses this word in
every day perhaps 20 or 30 times
inshallah which means God God
willing it happened that the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam was every
time what the people would come to him
the Jews and Christians and Muslims
would ask him questions and the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam if he knew he
would answer them if he doesn't know he
would say I don't know so in one case
the companions used uh one person came
to him and asked him a question and the
prophet sallallah alaihi wasallam tell
told him that I'm going to tell you
tomorrow forgetting using the word
inshallah God willing so what happened
is that Allah subhah wa ta'ala to teach
him a lesson that he should all the time
use inshallah so he kept the Revelation
he did not send jbel to him
and waited one day two days and one week
after two weeks and after a long time
jabel came to him and taught him this
inshallah to say in this is in the Quran
it is in the Quran inah so if he's
writing it now he's correcting himself
doesn't make sense does doesn't make
sense at all so so here Almighty Allah
the Creator is correcting and teaching
the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wasallam what to say in his things and
this is documented in the Quran MH that
the prophet sallallah alai wasallam
didn't do this they didn't say inshallah
and Allah is teaching him disciplining
him and disciplining every
Muslim because there's nothing that
happens without the will of Almighty
Allah it's a very important lesson
that's why you find all Muslims are
using this now to say that inshallah
inallah so this is a brief scenario of
what was happening 200 people memorizing
the Quran and four writers wrote four
copies copies I would say copies of the
Quran each one of them was diff was his
own handwriting and all these were
reviewed whether the memorizer of the
Quran the prophet sallallah Al wasallam
used to uh review their recitation and
to correct it and at the same time the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam uh
used to review what the companions the
four companions or the four scribes
wrote and he would ask asked them to
review for each other and he would
recite and each one of them would review
what the other uh had written and this
was guaranteed this was at the time of
the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
four copies of the Quran and at least
200 memorizers of the Quran all around
Mecca and Medina this was the situation
until the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam died and these four copies were
left in the house
of and still until the number of the
memorizer increases days after days
until the time of Abu Bakr sik AB Bakr
sik the first Calif
came and I hope in the next episode I
will uh go on to continue explaining
this in very simple language so
everybody would understand exactly how
the Quran was preserved God willing and
that means I mean what you just said
that inshallah we're going to do a part
two we're not part absolutely we're not
done thank you very much so we look
forward for part two and we hope that
God willing you're going to come back
remember Dr Muhammad Mandu is going to
have his own section at the Deen
show.com so you can click you can read
his biography and all the shows that
we're doing with him so this is part one
inshallah God willing we're going to be
doing part two soon so tune in next week
or go online to see this exciting
episode of the Quran the verbatim word
of God until next time peace be unto
[Music]
you peace alhamdulillah Alum peace be
unto you in the studio Dr Muhammad MDU
former Professor from the John's Hopkins
University we are covering the
compilation of the verbatim word of not
Muhammad of not a man but the verbatim
word of God Almighty in Arabic we say
Allah this is part two you can go to the
Deen show.com if you didn't see part
one Dr Mandu has his own section there
and you can watch part one we are
continuing talking with the shik and we
left
off at the time when the prophet peace
be upon him
had passed and
now we're going to continue from here
talk to us sham
Alum thank you for being with us here
again inviting me for we're talking
about the verba and word of God the
Quran we said it didn't fall from the
sky it was revealed over 23 years and we
came all the way to the point where
the recap talk to us recap a little bit
from episode one then we'll go from
there yes we said that at the death of
the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
this was the situation at least there
were 200 people 200 companions men and
women they memorized the Quran by heart
and they used to use it in every day in
their prayers MH uh at the same time
there were four copies written copies by
four well-known Companions and this
process took place in the house of the
Prophet peace be upon him uh they were
as we mentioned Z and
ALB
and
and sufyan there's four people whenever
the prophet sallallah used to get a
revelation from Allah subhana wa tala
via jiel peace be upon him what happened
is that the prophet sallallah Al
wasallam would call those people and
would ask them to write what was
revealed to Prophet Muhammad sallallahu
alai wasallam and we said that Allah
subhana wa ta'ala guaranteed that
whatever Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wasallam said in the Quran that it was
guaranteed 100% that there's no mistake
in it so this was the situation until
the proph sallallahu alaihi wasallam
died so in other words there was not
there was no one compilation of the
whole Quran in in a form of a
book it was four copies as I said that
written on Lether of animal written on
pieces of wood and by the way there are
some of these up until now they are
living and perhaps you can see this in
the uh screen yeah uh some examples of
of the written on Woods some examples of
like what we're seeing right now that we
were seeing right now yeah so you can
see this by yourself so the Quran was
not compiled in one book but as I said
that four
versions of the same thing written by
four different people and reviewed by
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
and even the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam jiel peace be upon Him reviewed
the Quran with him twice in the last
year before the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam died and even some of
the companions when they knew that jiel
reviewed the Quran two times which is
not the custom of jbel because he used
to review the Quran with Muhammad once a
year but in the last so the companions
understood that Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wasallam is going to die because
of
this uh revision that was made by jiel
in the last year of the life of the
Prophet
s when Abu Bakr sik the first kff came
after just few weeks mhm uh the some of
the people refused to pay zakat to pay
the charity that they used to pay that's
one of the pillars of Islam oh yes
absolutely and what happened is that
this led those the Abu Bakr sik he said
that I'm going to launch a war against
those he advised them first he made many
negotiations with them but they insisted
on their understanding so there was a
fight which is very famous fight in the
history of Islam is called the Battle of
yamama uhuh yeah during these this
battle approximately around 70
memorizers uh passed away MH
died it was a very big problem yes
although they had at that time more than
200 people but 70 is a big loss so here
was the
situation Abu Bak sik was sitting and
Omar was sitting and many companions
were sitting and the News came that 70
memorizer died in the Battle of
yamama it was a very tragic
situation and then Omar peace be upon
him the second C M came up with this
idea he said that hey Abu Bakr why
shouldn't we compile the Quran in one
book in one mus the word mus in Arabic
language which
is what does that mean it translated in
English literally speaking mus means the
place of pages or the place of papers in
other words a book yeah so the Quran was
not compiled into one thing at that time
soar suggested this to Abu
bakik the natural response of the Calif
he rejected the idea and
Omar started talking to him asking him
why Abu Bakr sik you reject this idea
why do you reject this idea he said
simply I cannot do anything that the
prophet peace be upon him did didn't
do you see how how those people were so
smart they were afraid to do
anything that may take them out of the
way of the Prophet Sall Al said no he
said no he
refused then the omab started explaining
the concept to many
companions they were
convinced and then
when almost all the companions there was
a consensus among the companions of the
Prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam agreed on this
issue that it should be compiled in one
at that time then and only then Abu Bakr
sik the accepted and by the way here is
the one thing that in Islam if the
companions if there is a consensus among
the companions to do something it
becomes part of the religion so
companions these were when we say his
friends people that were living during
at the time saw ate they knew his
life they were recording everything even
if the prophet Sall wasallam would
unbutton his shirt they would unbutton
their shirt they just want to imitate
the prophet sallallah Ali wasallam uhuh
even if sitting putting one leg on
another L they would do the same thing
even if he's using his right hand like
this they would use the right hand it
would imitating emulating the prophet
sallallah alaihi wasallam in everything
that he did even in things that they are
not related to the religion and now not
making this into one compiled book
during the life of the Prophet upon him
was it because he was living at that
time reation not only that there were
four copies and now the matter is left
in the hands of the people okay so this
was the idea now what happened is that
Abu Bakr sik called Z remember when they
talked Z haris one of the four people
who the scribes who used to write the
Quran at the time of the Prophet yeah so
he asked him to do that you know that
he's the leader of the nation asking one
of the people in the nation and he
refused he said I'm sorry I cannot do
that yeah the reason is that this was
not done at the time of the Prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam you see how
cautious the companions were they just
wanted to stick to the way of the
prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam and what happened after that
when all the compan Ians explained this
to him that there is a consensus and he
said that
W had they asked me to remove the
mountain of this is the very famous
mountain in close to Medina have they
asked me have the companions asked me to
remove the mountain of from its place to
another place it would have been an
easier task for me than to do this
compilation hold it right there we got
to take a break don't use your play
Shake we'll be right back on the D
show all of the prophets would have been
labeled Muslims because this essential
message was the same submission to the
will of
God this is God talking to you directly
how can I stand behind the pulpit on
Sunday morning and preach a sermon that
I knew was it variant with the actual
Tap Root of
Christianity we're back here on the dean
show with Dr Muhammad mahu it would have
been easier you said to move the
mountain of uh of uh than to compile the
Quran to do an act that that was not
done at the prophet sallallah alhi
wasallam and this tells us how smart the
companions of the Prophet sallallahu
alhi wasallam were how smart the
Disciples of the Prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam were they wanted to keep
everything as it was in the time of the
Prophet s
but there was a
need that to compile it in one book and
what happened at that time when he
started compiling it the way I'd like to
elaborate on this now we have four
copies as we said four different
handwritings because each one companion
has his own different font or different
handwriting my handwriting is different
from your handwriting from your
handwriting each one has his unique same
qu nothing different there of course
it's the same still the four version
name so what happened is that he started
picking yes the good version that was
not affected by the element of time you
know that by the element of time
sometimes there was wearing out
sometimes there leakage of the ink
sometimes there are many other factors
that affect the time after 23 years now
it's we were talking about 24 years so
there so he started selecting for
example the first page he would take it
from the copy of Z the second page would
be taken uh from the copy
of and from these four copies he
compiled one version and they compiled
it together and it came in a form of a
book absolutely it was not like
that simply because it was not written
on papers it was written as we said
leather and something you can imagine
how huge
that booket I'm quite sure that it may
extend from this wall to this wall but
they were compiled
together and what happened after that so
all the lift
papers from the four copies they were
gathered together and they were born uh
burned they were burned so let's just uh
make this clear you're saying that
during the time of the pro peace be upon
these were these were the copies that
were made with the Tre the chief scribe
who was there at the time now again he's
there again
checking and these four they're brought
together they're not different versions
like this missing here there's no
writing just
compilation together in one book you can
imagine that this book is and this is
the wisdom of the creator of the heavens
and earth making all these steps happen
with the consensus of the all the
consensus there's no fight disputing
like he this shouldn't be here
there's
no a lot of discussion very academic and
scientific and deep discussion among
them to see the Russ these are all
God-fearing people absolutely they're
not trying to make a mistake here
absolutely there's no not a single
percent 1% an error here an error Factor
so the Quran was compiled in the house
of Abu Bakr sadik and was left of course
and this was in the house of now you
said burning because there are a lot of
people who Maybe
of IGN or intentionally unintentionally
they say that look they were different
versions and this is because
nowan on this this is a very good
question Absolut first of all how can
they should be four different versions
if they are reviewed by the prophet
Allah see they were these four copies
were written at the time of the prophet
and he used to review them from time to
time and he used to ask each one of
those scripes to review the other cop
that was written so all of them as a
group of four people they are
responsible for these four copies yeah
and this alhamdulillah the wisdom of
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam it
might have been an inspiration to him by
Allah but this is the wisdom he made
four people not just one copy or two
copies why because the effect of time
might have made some changes when you
write a paper and you leave it for some
time yeah when you come after some years
you see the effect of the time on it
yeah absolutely so the prophet Sall was
so wise so then now four copies from
these four copies only one copy was made
and was connected together compiled
together to make the first mus and this
mus which means book yes this mus was
known to be called the mus of abak mus
of the reason is it was made at the time
of Abu Bakr and you will see later on
when we talk when explain this at the
time of man yeah it was called because
it was done at the time ofman it was not
written byman it was not written by Abu
Bakr sik even Abu Bakr sik himself was
not one of the writers of the Quran yeah
yes so now we're at the time of Abu Bakr
now at the time of Abu Bakr sik who
lived almost for two years and then he
died and after the time of Abu Bakr sik
came the second this was a situation
there is only one copy and there many
memorizers of the Quran every everyday
passes a lot of people memorize the
Quran why because they need it in their
daily prayers they use it five times a
day and and some of them were imams
leading the prayers so they needed that
and continuously whenever somebody makes
a mistake he will be corrected by the
followers who pray behind them and this
is again one of the wisdoms of the
congregational prayer of the
Muslims and that's why we are all
encouraged as Muslims to pray in
congregation and to see that if if an
Imam makes a mistake everyone who is a
follower of him will correct him during
the prayer yeah so now we have abubakr
sik and it's compiled there but he
passes away he passed away situation was
now this book was there abak sik
came came after that what happened is
that the book was moved from the house
of to the house of H these are the
prophet prophet's wives they're still
alive it's still alive yeah mhm yeah
what happened is that at the time
of I don't want to go into details but
anyway uh nothing
happened uh Omar used to send people
especially the memorizers to the new
countries that became Islamic countries
because the Muslims opened many
countries and Islam spread in many
countries so used to send some
memorizers to teach people the new
converts or the new reverts to Islam
this this the Quran so Quran now is
going Beyond Mecca and Beyond Medina to
the new lands that had been added to the
Islamic
countries so this was the situation at
the time of Omar then om passed away
nothing happened still have there's one
mus still at the prophet exactly his
house H still there same one that
compiled during the time of Abu Bak s
okay exactly the same one that was taken
from the four cop is that one how many
years later is this now uh now you're
talking
about lived
approximately uh 12 years so 12 and two
we years still the same cop in mhm and
what happens now that is Islamic nation
is increasing is expanding in every
direction there all the memorizer used
to spread out and and and to teach other
people how to memorize the Quran so the
number of the memorizers is increasing
day after day men and women old and
young every Arabs and non-arabs yeah at
the time ofman the third
kif there was a big
expansion so what happened is
that when the people recite the
Quran when I recite the Quran especially
as let me go back to the time of the
Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam the
people who memorized the Quran were from
from different
tribes and these tribes of course they
have their own dialect M for example you
can see that in English there's a
difference between the New York dialect
and and New York dialect and the Texas
dialect and Chicago people in their
places they have different they read the
same word but with a dialect yeah yeah
with an accent or a dialect this is
exactly what was happening in the time
of the the the the tribes were spreading
here and there was long distances
between them there's not close
communication there was no media in them
so the prophet Sall wasallam did not
change their dialect but they used to
pronounce their uh the words according
to their dialect for example let me tell
you some people would say schedule and
some people would say schedule yeah and
this something common in every language
so and the prophet sallallah Ali
wasallam endorsed these writing mhm and
of course he accepted the these
pronunciation give us one more I like
that what you said you said schedule and
and sched and schule and it will'll be
another example so we can hit home with
the same the same word mother or or mom
mama mom or mama or something yeah
something like this so people can
understand this is this is just what it
is it's a way of pronounce it yeah
that's it pronouncing the word yes
that's it uh uh and there are many
examples in many languages like that so
now those people when they spread over
the world MH teaching the people so if I
say that I pronounce it this way and you
pronounce it this way so they need it to
match this with a written copy oh now
it's coming home a judgment yeah okay so
now okay we need a written copy so this
there was a need at the time ofman for
having copy mhm so what happened is that
just you try to imagine can you take out
this and make a copy from the bone or
from no of course it was impossible so
what happened is he brought uh Z the
first one again he's still alive he was
still alive he's still there still and
this is the wisdom of
Allah and he brought other companions
with him to help him and he wrote one
copy by his handwriting he copied from
those this mus of Abu Bakr he wrote it
by hand now you can imagine that on
paper and it shrank down to this side
and perhaps the video would show the
people that's this an example of it huge
yeah it was so huge but all of it on
paper and they made he made with the
collaboration of three other
companions he made seven copies so now
there are seven copies take written by
the same
person where copied from those this
compilation of the Quran and these seven
copies were sent to seven places one
meca one Medina one Basra one kufa one
bahin one to Yen and one to a sham Syria
and
Lebanon seven copies were sented and by
the way some of these copies until now
there exist one of them is in Turkey in
one of the museums there one of them is
in Egypt some of these original I'm
talking about these seven copies that
were written almost 1300 years ago or
1400 years ago they are still there and
in addition to the number of the
memorizer that is increasing not only
among the Arabs among all the other
countries this was the situation at the
time ofman and that's why this version
that we have nowadays it's
called because this was just done during
time this was done at the time
nothing different from when time
absolutely prophet's time everything
absolutely even it was still without
vows without dots it was in the same
format but seven copies of it and the
memorizers of the Quran used to take it
as a reference if there a mistake in
their memorization happens we said that
in the at the time of the third khif
afan the situation was like this there
were seven copies handwritten by the
same Chiefs cribe MH whose name is z and
these copies were sent to these
countries when as mentioned these seven
places one of them to Yemen one of them
is to Sham Syria and Lebanon and the
another one was sent to Basra another
one was sent to kufa one was sent to
bahin and two remained in the area one
in Mecca and the other one was in Medina
seven copies written by the same person
they were done at the time ofman and
that's why they are called oani right
and that's why many of the versions of
the Quran that we have nowadays they
call it o manic uh uh mus referring to
that they were done at the time ofman
the third C elaborate when you say
because when we we know we have multiple
versions of the Bible when you say
version because people think now this is
a different Quran and something's taken
out from this one what do you mean yeah
it I said that seven copies were made so
it's the from it's the same by the same
person he cop it from each one of them
he is the same person yeah who did the
same thing so that's why I'm saying that
so uh the the seven of them they were
spread here and there now we call this I
don't know we call it virgin or Edition
or yeah yeah but so we call itman
because the font here this was the same
font that was taken from the time that
the Quran was copied at the time ofman
that's why they call itman gotcha talk
to us now about the you can continue on
but just a side note when was it during
this time that the Quran some of the
people that were making shorthand they
were taking notes that it was taken so
there would be confusion and they were
burned absolutely the time of he
recommended that you know that there are
many Muslims everywhere in the world
especially in the Arabia yeah they were
writing for their own they memorize the
Quran they want to write so some of them
might have written yes the whole Quran
some of them might have written part of
it so the time ofman when these copies
were made he asked all the people who
have some parts of the Quran or even
other copies of the Quran they would be
collected and burnt that's it this is
was there was there much resistance from
the people oh no of course they would
know that this is this was like a you
know by force like knocking on door
breaking doors Tak this doesn't work at
all because the the the companions were
on the same level
of some of them where yes even had
greater impact uh on Islam and even in
understanding of the Quran than
than so anyway the all these part pieces
and parts were gathered together and
when burned and still have the seven
copies and one as I said you can imagine
the long distance between these places
that the Quran were sent to at the time
of alibali the fourth K nothing happened
there's no change and and this continued
on and on at the time of ABD Malik Maran
the concept of dotting putting the dots
on there this was not
there uh and and and that's why you
would find that uh some words yes needed
to have yes in the alphabet this is
change in the writing system of the
Arabic so they added the dots to
differentiate between when was this now
this was at the time of ABD Malik Maran
uh how far is this
after say not after after Al Talib this
would be immediately after just few
years after yes just few years and this
was for the purpose of what for the
purpose of I said this is a change in
the writing system mhm yes nothing Chang
it was done by a absolutely it's the
writing system for example I will tell
people now look at the word color in the
British writing and the word color is
written in the American writing you
would see that this U is written and in
the American system they drop the U
right look at the word
night n i g HT and now the people write
it n i t e right yeah so it's still the
same pronunciation the same word the
same meaning does not change anything
but it is the change in the writing
system and this happens in all the world
right so this uh dotting system was
introduced at the time of ABD Malik
Maran and this was a per my by a person
called
AB we know the person my name and we
know that this was well documented
there's nothing to uh to to hide or to
conceal here and at the same time the
Quran was continuing to be memorized
more and more and more people now are
writing copies different copies from the
seven copies that were writing you love
it or you get a copy and you try to make
a copy of the original one until
printing was introduced and hundreds and
thousands and millions of copies were
made at the same time the number of
memorizers is increasing until recently
in the last few years in the 20th
century uh there was a statistic about
the memorizers of the Quran they are
approximately
9.3 million memorizers of the Quran they
covered from cover to cover they
memorize it Heart By Heart from cover to
cover and they are almost every
everywhere in the world and 50% of them
at least in the subcontinent of India
and Pakistan and Afghanistan let's leave
off there and I think that this opens up
if you're willing to come back God
willing where we can talk about more
about the Quran and this was just how it
was compiled but you know many of the
different solutions to a lot of the
problems we're having here it being a
guidance for the mankind describing who
our creator is who he is in the
wonderful Awards of paradise and all the
beautiful things that if a person lives
how the creater wants him to live all
the Delights and the Beautiful things
about seeing their lord in paradise and
all these wonderful things that we can
talk about scientific Miracles look I
can just go on and on inshallah next
episode part three absolutely okay and
that's it we're here with Dr Mandu he
agreed so if he agreed I'm sure now he's
going to find a time you can find a time
and come back here here at the Deans
show again Dr Mandu he has his own
section at the Deans show.com check it
out to see one part one two this one if
you didn't see all of it and then
inshallah God willing we're going to
continue on talking about the verbatim
word of God the Quran see you next time
Salam I came from a science major when
you look at the Bible and it says the
the Earth has four
corners that's
wrong if any Christian can point out a
single unequal statement a single
unambiguous treatment where Jesus Christ
peace be upon himself says that I am God
always say worship me I'm ready to
accept Christianity
[Music]
o it's cold it's
lame everybody
sleeping I
arise and ask a lot to forgive me oh you
see oh you know
