Work in progress.
Praise be to God. There is no other God except God. Uh sorry guys for starting a little bit late. Uh the internet disconnected a little bit. I think that was the reason and uh I reconnected now. Um I just want to do some administrative stuff. Um if anyone can check if they can see um if they especially if they can see if they if it’s possible to to to to get the translation immediately like live on you should go somewhere on CC if if if it if it’s there. I don’t know if it’s there. I tried to change something so that we can enable it but probably it didn’t work. Maybe it did work. I don’t know. So if someone can inform me about that. So it’s not finally is saying it’s not available. Okay. Okay. So at least I know uh and Fazal also is confirming that captions are not available. Um okay. Sorry. Um God willing someday we’ll be able to do that. I I think there is a way to do it if I use some other software but I don’t want to learn a new software just for this. U what do I want to talk about today? Oh, by the way, maybe I have a short topic. So, does anyone have anything to share? Maybe you don’t have to. Just just in case Y is is typing. You [snorts] I see quite a few people typing. So, I’m just going to wait a little bit. By the way, there’s probably about 10 second delay because that’s that’s it’s only possible like that uh between the video and the chat. So, uh sometimes it takes time until I read something and then until you hear it. It’s not on purpose the delay like YouTube has it like it’s not possible otherwise. Okay, Trevor is saying about one more month before my wife is due to give birth. Uh congratulations Trevor ahead of time. Let’s uh we we are excited to hear about um I wonder what you’re maybe you should name it uh the baby afterwards or or you maybe you thought of a of a name. Jad is saying uh glory to God. May God make it easy and successful. Trevor is saying that I guess that’s the baby’s name, Elijah. That he’s going to name the baby Elijah. I’m guessing it’s a boy or a girl. Elijah, I think it’s a boy’s name. Yeah. Alhamdulillah. Captain is saying alhamdulillah. Okay. Yeah. So, I I’m I’m happy you guys are using the chat actually more more often. I’ve received some more more messages personally even most of them could have been sent sent here because others can would like to know like what we talk but what me and some some other person talk talk about. Okay. So let me dive into the what I want to talk about today. Um what I want to elaborate on and I’m not going to give a sort of a final answer. I just want to elaborate on it a little bit more is the uh the Quranic initials. uh there are some let’s say some um some doubts or disputes or disagreements among the the different groups of people um whether how we should count the Quranic initials uh how we should write the specific initial or uh things like that and um the recently one of the submitters actually uh I think asked something about the one one of the Quranic initials the N initial um whether whether it should be whether Rashad wrote it as as one N or two Ns and the the plain like the simple answer is it’s it’s not relevant and I I want to sort of dive deeper into why it’s not relevant why it doesn’t matter or why it can be written both ways uh to understand why it doesn’t matter how we how the Quranic initials were written in the Arabic Quran I I think probably the best video to start is the the video which I p published which is titled um u uh explaining Quranic initials predicting the future. There I say I explain and uh it’s not really only my only my opinion it’s probably the opinion of quite a few scholars. Um I’m talking like uh uh scholars of history not religious scholars. um is that we really h so the the idea behind what we have to understand first is and this might sound let’s say um a little bit biased but it’s actually not is that the Arabic language as it is written today not the lang not the spoken language the spoken language is a very pure language it’s it’s I I would say it’s the best language uh the spoken language the best I would say it’s the closest to the perfect language today. But when it comes to the written language or or the written how they write it, it’s just humanmade. It’s just fake. It’s just fake. So it really doesn’t matter. Um what do I mean by fake uh and a lot of other languages are fake fake when it comes to writing? Um what do I mean by that? So basically during the time of Abraham around the time of Abraham not exactly then maybe but around the time of Abraham u the uh there was this group of group of people called the pho pho finish phoeneticians and uh they lived where Lebanon is today uh they discovered what we today call the alphabet. It’s even today it’s called the Phoenician alphabet. And what happened after that and it’s not only my opinion it’s the opinion of the of the scientists is that those phoenicians who traveled from where Lebanon is today in through the Mediterranean and they spread that that alphabet. So they discovered the alphabet and that alphabet had a meaning. What do I mean by a meaning? Like the letter A for example, al if meant ox and it was shaped like a like the head of the ox with two horns. Today we have flipped it upside down and that’s why the A has has that shape. So that’s the original alphabet. Yeah, there were alphabets before that but they had no connection to anything real. The the Q&A form alphabet or the Egyptian hero glyphs. I think they they just were again fake alphabets because they had no connection to anything real. This alphabet had a connection to something real which was let’s say the shape of the ox that’s the name alf that’s the letter. So in that language alf meant ox. So those the am I pronouncing it right? Phoenicians uh they uh they traveled uh uh around the Mediterranean and spread the alphabet and then what happened is eventually they this group of people kind of I wouldn’t say it went extinct because a lot of them probably have today in today’s Lebanon there’s genes from those people um probably today’s Lebanon is half Phoenician half Arabic Lebanese people today are probably half Phoenician half Arabic about that um but they didn’t go fully extend but they sort of they they let’s say became less dominant and they sort of lost it a little bit so that was carried that that was then sort of taken by other by other groups of people specifically the Greeks which are just across the sea they took that alphabet and saved it and preserved it for the most part not 100% but for the most part for the most part and the reason why They didn’t do it on purpose. It’s just that they had literature. They had philosophers who w they had democracy where they those could interact. So it was the and because the a lot of more people wrote than anywhere else on on earth uh it was preserved in Greek. What happened with that alphabet with when it traveled to other regions it got heavily distorted to the point where it doesn’t resemble anything anymore. Like when you go to even the Arabic alphabet comes from that alphabet, but it doesn’t resemble anything. Like the A is not an A anymore. It’s just a line. Or the L is just a is just a line and a and a and a and a partly twisted end at the end. What does it have to do with anything? Why should the letter A be? What does it mean? Does al if mean ox in Arabic? that. So see the these letters don’t have any meaning in uh in in the Arabic language. I’m talking about the the Arabic writing basically basically they distorted them. They lost them to the point where we can just call them fake now because it has nothing no connection like it’s just a totally new shape and pretty much all the letters are like that a totally new shape heavy heavily distorted. Okay. And historians know how they got distorted gradually but they got even that is not very clear because it’s so heavily distorted. So what does this mean? This means and by the way when God revealed the scripture to Moses which which was soon after the Phoenicians had discovered the alphabet. God revealed the the scripture in writing. As we know, God gave the the Moses what? The tablets and they were already written. Moses didn’t have to write it. They were already written. It was a it was a scripture. Re it was revealed as a scripture. Then they read it. And the reason why it was revealed as a scripture is because those letters had still not been changed enough. So it was still within the original authorized let’s call it the author God’s authorized alpha alphabet. Let’s call it like that. So God’s and why would God authorize that? Because it has a meaning. It had it had some reality to it. Probably it had to do something with Abraham. Maybe Abraham was part of the group who discovered it. I don’t I have no idea. But what I’m saying is that’s God’s approd alphabet which is more closer to the English alphabet today. The A is an A, the B is a B. Uh, of course we can choose to write any way we want. It’s fine. However, only one of them is accepted as as let’s say the authorized alphabet just like only one of them is the the closest language to to how God spoke to Moses which is the Arabic of today. I know it was not exactly Arabic. It was proto Arabic proto Hebrew protoer like before Aramaic but those languages were were similar in the past. What I’m saying here is that in writing uh when God revealed the scripture to Moses, he revealed it in writing because it was it made sense to reveal it in writing and not lie and not and not and not admit and not fall prey to the fakeness of anyone. Let me give an example. So let’s say let’s say uh God called Abraham Abraham. If eventually all the languages get distorted to the point where everyone now everyone die decides to call Abraham John. God is still going to call Abraham Abraham. God doesn’t fall to to social pressure. doesn’t it doesn’t bend to social pressure to the point where he switches uh the terms or the words or the writing according to us. No, if we switch it, we lose it. Basically, we lose that connection. So that’s why uh uh after after the uh after Moses, God didn’t reveal scripture when al the alphabet was changed. God didn’t reveal scripture anymore in writing. The reason is that had it revealed it had God revealed it to the Greeks, they wouldn’t have the correct words because Greek is a different language. Had God revealed it to the let’s say Hebrews in writing like the way he revealed it to to to Moses or to the Arabs, if he revealed it in writing, then they didn’t have the correct letters. So either way, it it was not suitable anymore to re re to reveal scripture in writing. And that’s why all the scriptures after Moses were revealed as were revealed as uh through words basically in speech in in oral form then people wrote them. Now that writing is humanmade it’s fine. I’m not saying it they shouldn’t do it but it’s humanmade. Once we recognize that it’s humanmade, then we can see that people could have chosen to write it any way they want if they they chose to use. Basically, what I’m saying is if today I choose to write the the Arabic Quran in another alphabet, let’s say in the English alphabet where each letter represents some c some certain sound, that would be just as valid as what they wrote in Arabic 14 centuries ago. They decided to write it like that. Fine, their decision. I’m not saying they shouldn’t have done it. All I’m saying is it’s humanmade. It’s fake. Humanade. The writing is humanmade. Therefore, I’m a human. They are humans. We both can choose how how we want to write it. So, this means that it’s totally irrelevant how we write certain initials. Whether we write noon with double noon or with one noon both of what matters. What matters because here we are agreeing what ma that what matters is that the the spell the pronunciation the way we say it is correct because that’s how God revealed it to to Gabriel and then to Muhammad. So that’s what matters. If in surah 68 there’s a letter which is which is noon uh and that’s how the Arabs say it. So that is the preserved part by the way the that’s why the Quran says we have revealed this reminder meaning it’s in the mind reminder mind remind we have revealed this reminder and we will preserve it the God never guaranteed that he’s going to preserve the scripture of course there’s an original written scripture in heaven but all the books we have today all the books none of them are directly from God the only Quran which is let’s say has a connection to to the original through Muhammad is through through the minds of the believers and the hearts of course but what I’m saying is God guaranteed that he’s going to preserve the reminder meaning what’s in our mind but he’s never guaranteed that he’s going to preserve the written aspect so you can change it you can go to any Arabic book scripture which represents the Quran it’s a represent it’s a translation of the Quran you that’s why probably the best way to call them is the translation Does it even matter what how you write the translation? The original is still the original. So, and this is really important to understand that the writing doesn’t matter. We can write it in English letters. We can write it now. How would we write noon? So, this is the how we are supposed to say noon. How would we write noon? In English, if I want, I can also write n o n like noon like you know the time of the day. That’s still fine. N O O N that’s how is it written how is it how do you pronounce it noon if I want I can write it I don’t know like some other way in Arabic you both ways are read as noon if you write n whatever u n it’s noon if you just write one n it’s again noon what but someone might want to but let’s decide which which one should we do it we we don’t have to decide it’s all fake It’s all humanmade. It’s a representation of the Quran. Let what do I mean by fake or representation? It’s like a picture of a person. It’s not the real person. Like, so if someone takes a photo of you and switches it, uses filters, does that change you? No, you’re still you. You, the original you is still you. You still haven’t changed. So technically discussing whether noon should be written with two ns or one n is just is the same as discussing whether it right now in my video. This is a the video which you guys are seeing as a is a representation of me. It’s not the real me. if I should increase the maybe the the brightness in the in the in the video or should I uh I don’t know like change a few pixels use some kind of special effects that wouldn’t change anything and that’s only a few pixels. Should should these pixels Okay, where can I point? Maybe I should change these pixels here. Make them a little bit darker. Would that change anything? No, it’s just a photo. It’s a representation human-made representation of the actual thing of the real thing. Now, so the only implication, the only place where this could potentially matter. So, as you can see, it doesn’t matter. You can write it any way you want as long as there is a way to to to tell people that uh uh this is known. If you want, you can completely invent a new alphabet as long as you there’s a way for people to figure out that that that letter there for example in surah 68 is written is um is when you speak it it you say noon. Now the case where it it might matter potentially is when it comes to to the mathematical miracle of the Quran because then depending on how we write we might get a multiple of 19 or not get a multiple of 19. And be before we go into that, let’s uh let’s repent. Praise be to God. There is no other God except God. Okay. So, uh as we agree, it doesn’t matter how we write the Quran. We can even write it with English letters. It doesn’t matter because the Quran was revealed as a recitation. The Quran means recitation. But depending on how we write it um it might have some implications. It might but it might not. It might have implications when it comes to the mathematical miracle of the Quran and what it means. Does it mean that Rashad made a mistake? Does it mean that Rashad did not make make a mistake? So there it might have a implication but it might not. And uh here I want to go it I I just before I go there I first I want to say that a conclusion does not mean automatic implication. Usually studies when people do studies they they will have a methods results conclusions when they write studies they’ll have of course introduction method results conclusions and some studies most of the studies will will just leave it like that with conclusions because everyone knows that that conclusion has a certain implication and it’s it’s fine but some studies will go into discussion or implication what does it mean how does that connect to to the previous knowledge we we had What does it mean for other things? And here all I I want to say is let’s not rush with implications because God willing and I’m going to briefly say something here but let’s not rush with implications because if we write the letter noon with one n it’s not a multiple of 19 like it the letter n in the total surah is not a multiple of 19 but if we write it as double ends then it’s a multiple of 19. However, what I’m saying is let’s not let’s not rush with implications because God willing, I’ll do a video clarification someday where I review the mathematical miracle of the Quran and I show because Rashad never told never told us the method. Rashad told us what he counted, what the results results were, what the implications were of that sort of in the introduction as well, but he never explained the method. He never explained why he counted what he counted. Why count the letter N? Why count the letter? Why count the Bism? Why count the name of God? Why count? They kind of intuitively we know why. But there’s no specific method. He never explained that. And I’ll tell you why he never explained it. But what I’m saying is because he never explained it. God willing, I’ll explain it someday. And when I I explain that then you’ll see that the implic this doesn’t have to have any implications to how we count the letter N. It doesn’t have to have any implications. Basically if it turns out that the letter N is not a multiple of 19 in surah 68 there there is a reason for it. There’s a method for it. If it turns out that the surah letter F should be a multiple of 19 in that surah then again there’s a reason for it. There’s a method for it and to and I don’t want to go into the detail because it’s going to be a specific video just for that. The method of how we count the mathematical things uh regarding the mathematical miracle today. I just want to use an example to show that we shouldn’t rush and um and go into implications just because we have reached some conclusions. Uh and let me take an example and to take this before I take this example let me let me explain something. There’s a misunderstanding among the people generally about how they uh understand the mathematical miracle of the Quran. The mathematical miracle of the Quran is a miracle. It’s not a code. Quite often the people will say, “Oh, the 19 code, the the mathematical code.” No, there’s no code. It’s a miracle. And the difference is that the code has to obey those specific rules and based on that code you can extract the scripture. But here we’re talking about the a miracle which is sort of an exception to what would happen had there had let’s say certain mathematical principles been obeyed statistical principles. So it’s technically an exceptional exception rather than the rule. Um when it comes to to the mathematical miracle and perhaps perhaps the best way to understand it is if I explained it with an example. Okay. So imag no wait a minute before I go to the example again let me just say that the math the the Quran when we study the Quran it should resemble more the studies which people do in medicine and biology and not the studies which people do in physics or in psychology or in sports or so those studies where were where we are dealing with only simple exact sciences. They can they are only exact because they are very simple. Physics, math, chemistry, they are simple. Actually technically they people think they are comp they are hard but they are really simple. They have simple rules. Uh a a square + b²= c². That’s always true. It’s a simple rule. And then in some sciences the rules are really not clear at all. But in biology and medicine there are generally some rules but there are so many complications that sometimes you get what look like exceptions and why why does the does let’s say elaborating on the Quran or studying the Quran uh resemble medicine or or bi b you know medical sciences, biology and things like that uh more than the other exact sciences. The reason for that is because the Quran is the most most complicated thing on earth. The most complicated thing on earth after the Quran is human beings. So technically we’re dealing with systems which are highly complicated, highly intertwined, very complex. The most complex thing besides the ground, the most complex thing on earth is the human being. That’s why it’s really hard to to come up with rules of what what does the blood uh blood pressure do? Does it give a heart attack? Does it not? With some people it does, some people it doesn’t. But there are some rules that doctors know those rules, but not always. No doctor can guarantee you that if you do a heart surgery, you will not have complications or or um that you will not die. No doctor can guarantee you that because for most cases where they which they studied where there other factors are not let’s say affecting that situation. Yeah, they can they they can predict a certain result but not always because there’s other factors affecting it. It’s not that they that there’s no rule to it. there is a rule but there’s so many other rules which affect it so it’s really not it’s it looks like it’s not clear or at least there’s many interactions so what I’m saying is that because the hum the Quran is even more complicated than the the human being even even more complex then studying the Quran should resemble like uh similar should have some resemblance to studying biology ology and in biology they we never have a code. What what’s that code? Yeah, even DNA it’s kind of like it’s it is there a little bit. It’s like we can call it the code of life but is it is it really? Recently people have uh sort of shown lots of scientists that it’s not only the DNA which affects a human being like how you turn out to be. It’s about 50% uh uh genetics 50% uh what they call 50% nurture 50% nature 50% genetics 50% other things the environment. So it’s not only you cannot like pinpoint a specific thing which where you can find the rules to all biology to all life because it’s really complex. In the same way when we are studying the Quran we can notice patterns but once one small breaking of a certain pattern doesn’t mean that the pattern doesn’t exist. Just like in bi biology it doesn’t mean that the pattern doesn’t exist. For example, I can tell people that, oh, if you eat more, you you will gain weight. That’s true. Pretty much true. But it’s not always the case. You you can eat more and train more. In that case, probably you will not gain weight. You can eat more, but maybe you you are younger. You have a faster metabolism. So, in that case, you don’t g you might not gain weight. Or you can eat more, but you’re bigger, like taller. So, you need more energy anyway. or you can eat more and you’re less stressed. I don’t know how that affects the weight or more stressed. I don’t know. So, I mean, we know all of these how they affect the weight a little bit. But what I’m saying is just because there’s a principle that if you eat more, you’ll gain weight, it doesn’t mean that it’s always going to be like that because there’s so many other rules, so many other factors. In the same way uh just because let’s say there’s a principle that certain things which matter should be in multiples of 19 in the Quran it doesn’t mean that it should always be like that. However, if it’s not there’s a reason for it. There’s a method to it and which I’ll explain another time. Um but here I want to sort of just compare sort of represent with an example how Rashad did what he did and and why we shouldn’t rush with what he did and and reach conclusions which he never reached things which he might have rushed with some conclusions but even with some other conclusions which he never let’s say concluded we some people go beyond that let me give it now let me go direct directly in the example. So let’s say where we uh and the example of course has to be some kind some thing biological some something living because otherwise any other example would simplify it too much. So let’s say we we have some of you guys might might know that China but US as well have have created robots recently and some of them actually they’ve created them like lifelike like there’s a rob a robot which looks like a dog a robot which looks like a puppy some of them look like humans but let’s take that the robot which looks like a dog imagine they dress it up with dog fur dog skin and all of So imagine it looks exactly like a dog, but it’s a machine. Let’s imagine it’s it looks on the on the outside it looks exactly like a dog. And then that machine dog, uh, non-living dog, fake dog, let’s call it fake dog. that fake dog, they put it in a cage and then they put a real dog in a cage and then they say it’s too dangerous to go in the cage because the dogs are aggressive. Um, and in that case pe most people uh would think, oh, it’s impossible. It’s impossible to know what the uh which one is the real dog, which one is the fake dog because let’s say they both bark, they both look the same. And Rashad is just like a kid who discovers how to tell the difference. How can we tell that that dog in that cage is the real dog and this dog in the the other cage is a fake dog? How would we tell? How would we know? And imagine Rashad just uh by sort of by accident. It’s not an accident. Took a piece of meat and threw it. And one of the dogs ate it. The other dog didn’t eat it. Oh, wait a minute. That must be the real dog. the one who ate the meat, the one who ate the the food. So there’s some pattern there, some rule. Oh, we established the rule. A real dog eats, a fake dog doesn’t eat. And this is also in the Quran because for example in the Quran there’s um it’s not exactly like this but in the Quran there’s when the angels go to Abraham to tell him about uh some good news. What happens is Abraham notices that they are not human beings when they do not eat. He offers them. He prepares a a calf so that they can eat as guests and they don’t touch the food. They don’t eat. He’s like oh wait a minute they probably are not human beings. Why? because they are not eating. Uh so there’s similarities there. However, what I’m saying is that there’s a way in this case there’s a method through which we could tell which one is the real dog in the cage. We cannot touch them because they’re in the cage and they told us it’s dangerous. Uh so there’s a way to to tell which dog is the real dog and which dog is the fake dog. In the same way, the mathematical miracle can tell us which book is real from God because even the dog is created by God and which other books are fake meaning human humanade. So we can tell the difference between humanmade and let’s say God created the things which God created. In this case, if you you put them in a cage, you’ll what you what you have to do that let’s say the the the test which you would have to do is throw them food and whichever dog eats the food that’s the real dog. Now, how does the n initial relate to all of this? It does because we shouldn’t now rush and say, “Wait a minute, this dog eats the food. The other dog doesn’t eat the food. Let and then say say then we throw a tomato. Oh, this dog ate the tomato. The other dog didn’t eat the tomato. Then we throw a green salad. Will the dog eat the green salad? Probably not. It doesn’t like it. So then wait a minute. Now we now there’s an exception to the rule. There’s some food which the dog will not eat. So our principle which we created doesn’t fully work for certain cases. Why? Because dogs don’t like salad. If it was a monkey, maybe it would. I think a monkey would eat the salad. Maybe. I I guess. I don’t know. I’m not sure. But a dog, will the dog eat the salad? Now, someone might say, “Oh, so now we have a new rule. The dog doesn’t eat the salad.” Wait a minute. Even that rule is rushed because if we mix the salad maybe with some oil, maybe the dog will eat the salad because of the oil. So, it’s complicated because it’s a living system. It’s a bi biological system. And there’s so many principles to it. However, however, just because the dog didn’t eat the salad, it doesn’t mean that we did not prove that this is the real dog and that is the fake dog because we put the meat, we put a tomato, maybe we put an apple, we we threw I don’t know what else we could throw. We maybe we threw a fish and we establish that generally this creature will eat the food and that creature will not eat the food. Now there might be some some exceptions. Maybe this creature doesn’t eat the salad. Maybe the n the noon in the Quran shouldn’t be a multiple of 19. Maybe it’s the salad. It’s that salad. And God willing, I’ll explain just just like with the dog. like with a dog um uh you just because he doesn’t eat the salad you first understand that there’s creatures which eat uh what they call carnivores and meaning that they eat meat. There’s creatures which don’t eat meat. There’s creatures which only eat meat. Dogs kind of mostly eat meat. But what I’m saying is that we would have to explain that there’s different creatures and some of them prefer meat more than other more than other foods and this particular one prefers meat. It doesn’t like salads. So once you explain the method that there’s differences, but in general all creatures have some kind of food. Then you understand that you can tell the difference between a dog and a fake dog. Just like the mathematical miracle can help us uh tell the difference between a fake book and a book which was revealed by God. However, however, just because there’s some tiny tiny details which don’t seem to match, that doesn’t that doesn’t uh change the fact that we have proven that the Quran is from God. Just like with the dog, you throw the salad, it doesn’t mean that it’s not the real dog. It’s just an exception. Dogs don’t eat salad. So that’s the conclusion. Dog dogs don’t eat salad. So the conclusion here, oh, if we write it as one n instead of two ns, it’s not going to be a multiple of 19. But we have to know why. God willing, I’ll explain why. If it’s not or if it is, why why it is it? I’m not even going to go today in that into that whether it should be or not because I’ll explain the method for pretty much uh all all the other things how to count them. However, what I’m saying is we should understand the mathematical miracle as proof that the Quran is from God, but as proof which you would you use for a biological system because the Quran is a complicated system just like living creatures, more complicated than a human being. So in a complicated system, you will always have somewhat look like exceptions. They are they are not really exceptions. What they are is other rules which you didn’t know before other things other other principles which now when you combine they lead to another result when you combine them. So the just remember that it’s like that example. Now until you have the answer why dogs don’t eat a salad it’s a little bit not helpful to bring to to point it out. So let’s say I’m I’m a I’m a I’m a scientist. Let’s say one of you is a scientist and you and you invite your kid to to that presentation. Oh, I have discovered how to tell a real how to distinguish a real dog from a fake dog. And you take your kid with you to that presentation. You’re presenting finally how to how to tell a fake dog from a real dog. So then you go, you’re like, “Okay, I’m going to show h show how that’s done.” So you you that day you have let’s say a chicken salad and you have some fish and some meat and you put it in front of the dog in front of both dogs and one of them eats it eats the chicken eats the sauce eats the whatever and then but leaves some of the salad and imagine your kid says hey daddy daddy it didn’t eat the salad how would that help with anything it would just sort of it would just point to something which doesn’t necessarily disprove your your um your theory, all it’s going to do is cause some confusion or some doubt. Now, if the kid already knew why the dog doesn’t eat the salad, if the kid said, “Oh, daddy, daddy doesn’t eat the salad, but dogs don’t eat salad.” Uh, so it’s fine. If it was a monkey, maybe it would eat the salad. In that case, yeah, it’s it’s let’s say more more um less naive, but it’s a little bit naive to bring these issues unless you have an explanation because the world has not even established yet has not even let’s say most of the people haven’t heard about the mathematical miracle. And to go into those details, it’s really not helpful because it’s like that kid who points out that the dog didn’t eat the salad. Now, some people have doubts. Oh, maybe maybe that’s the fake one because it did not eat the salad. Of course, the dog is not going to eat the salad. I mean, it might eat it if if you mix it with something else. So, that’s what Rashad did. Rashad just threw everything at the dog without any specific method. Okay, I’m going to throw meat. I’m going to throw salad. I’m going to throw this. And sometimes sometimes he might have thrown a salad with some maybe some cheese mixed with some cheese or something and the dog maybe ate the salad. So, Rashad just put it there. just put it in the in the conclusions. But maybe it’s not exactly that. Yeah, with with cheese the dog will eat the salad, but without cheese, it might not eat the salad. So, what I’m saying is Rashad was just like a kid who for the first time discovered that you you have to throw food to the dog so that you can know which one is the real one. However, he didn’t know exactly which food the dogs will eat and which food the dogs will not eat. That that’s my job. But he didn’t know exactly. So he just threw everything at it. He tried any calculation. Oh, let’s check this. Let’s check that. Let’s check if that’s multiple of 19. Let’s check if that’s multiple of 19. Anything he could sort of he could think of, he just counted it. If it was multiple of 19, he presented it. If it was not, he did not. Now this this is doesn’t mean that he was trying to fake it because he discovered the principle. The principle is that the real dog will eat food. The fake dog will not eat food. The principle is still there. There are some intricacies. There’s some details where he might have thrown a salad or maybe that maybe he reached the wrong conclusion for a tiny detail in the sense. So let’s say he threw the salad, the dog didn’t eat it, and he said, “No, I think the dog eats the salad, but today he’s probably sick.” So maybe maybe that’s the case for the an initial. Yeah, the dog will eat the salad, but later maybe because I think he’s it’s sick because so far every food I’ve thrown to the dog, the dog has eaten it. So yeah, what I’m saying is let’s not jump into into implications. What do what do what does it mean? What does it imply whether we write the the the n initial with one n or with two ns? What does it mean? What does it imply? What does it imply for the mathematical miracle? What I’m saying is that the principle is proven. The dog does eat the real dog does eat food. The fake dog doesn’t eat food. The Quran as God’s scripture does have a mathemat mathematical miracle based on code 19 in it and uh the other books do not. However, however, there’s some details there. Some dogs don’t eat salad. Some things that the ground may there but there has to be a reason. Some things of the ground do not have to be multiples of 19. Anyway, so God willing, I’ll explain why some things might why a certain initial might not should not be a multiple of 19 and another initial should be. I’ll explain that, God willing, in the future, but don’t expect it in the near future. I I already know the answer, but I I I don’t think it’s it’s really that important because what’s important uh at this stage is that everyone knows that there’s a principle there and that there’s a mathematical miracle. The details don’t matter as much. Let let me take an another example. Maybe I’m I’m uh I’m uh delaying this Friday sermon too much but um let me take another example just to make sure that we understand. So let’s say that we as a scientists we have established that certain objects let’s say which have the shape of the swords were humanmade and other objects let’s say stones were not humanmade and the scientist presents oh look this is a sword how do we know that human made it because it’s really sharp and it’s shiny and it has it it has a purpose. So let’s say they discover in a in a in in some ancient site they discover that this long object it’s it’s kind of like a it’s a metals are just like purified stones. It’s this sort of stone it’s purified stone. It looks that this looks clearly like a human made it. And and this stone which is sort of looks a little bit like a sword but not exactly. It’s kind of like just a triangle or whatever. It’s probably not humanmade. And let’s say the scientist presents that and then the scientists point out look at look at how let’s say genius the humans were. They even made the sword with two edges. Some swords have two edges. It can cut this way. It can cut the other way as well. And then they point it out. And then that that scientist goes to present that that conclusion that finding and again takes his kid with him and then one of the swords doesn’t have two edges. One of the swords has only one one uh edge and then the scientist presents everything. He’s like this is how we know these are swords. These humans made these and these stones are not humanmade. Presents everything. And then at the end that kid says, “Yeah, daddy, daddy, but this sword has only one edge.” And I heard you say that swords look how these swords have two edges and they had the purpose that doesn’t defeat whatever was concluded. It’s just a a let’s say a fact or whatever a detail which doesn’t matter much for the conclusion because some swords actually do have one edge only. I don’t know why. There’s probably some deep science why some swords have two end two edges and others have one. Like why would some societies build them differently? I don’t know. I can only guess. I’m guessing because they don’t didn’t want to hurt themselves. Like let’s say if it has two edges, if I hit something, it’s going to bounce. It’s going to hit me back. It might cut me. Maybe. Maybe that’s the reason. But maybe other people thought, “Oh, I I I’m really good at it, so I don’t think it’s going to bounce back.” So I I’ll do both both edges uh sharp. What I’m saying is pointing that out in a study where we are trying to distinguish between swords and stones doesn’t help. It helps only after everyone has agreed that swords are swords and now we are studying the details of swords. Yeah, it does help them. But even then it helps when you bring the the conclusion both with the question it does help otherwise it doesn’t help. I’m not saying we shouldn’t discuss this. I I open this for discussion. It’s okay but but they don’t help unless we give the method we give the reason uh because because otherwise implying that they s sort of do not prove the previous conclusion which is about about the mathematical miracle. It It’s wrong. Just like we can establish the difference between swords and stones, swords and stones and the fake dog and the real dog. Uh and we can know it and people recognize the Quran says that people recognize the truth. The believers recogn recognize the Jews like they they recognize their own children and we recognize that based on many many different small factors. We know how their eyes look. Let’s say how would someone recognize their own child? Oh, the eyes are like that. The nose is like that. The whatever the the eyebrows are like that. Now if if someone is naive, have you seen some a lot of you might have seen those videos those videos uh online uh where the dad has shaves the beard for the first time and appears in front of his own baby or or very young child and they usually the children will start to cry because they don’t recognize their dad. So children, all you have to do to children is cut the beard. It’s the still the same human being. Just cut the beard, change it a little bit, and they think you’re a different person. They start to cry because they don’t recognize you. They’re like, “Oh, that’s so different.” Is like they they get confused because they are children. What I’m saying is even in this case we recognize the truth that the Quran is true based on many small details and changing one tin tiny one small detail from it. If someone is spiritually a child he’s going to get confused. Oh wait a minute is it the same? Is it not kind of got but if someone is an adult spiritually if someone is an adult has been a submitter for a long time has grown and has realized what’s important what’s not important just changing the beard in the last Friday sermon I had cut the hair how many of you like if it some of you were too young you might think that oh is it is it Alban is it not but most of you I I think Jad recognized me he’s like oh you look good thank you thanks Jad for saying you that I’m a good um so recognized oh it’s the same Alban he just cut his hair so yeah uh uh what I’m saying is uh spirit it’s just uh acting spiritually like a child when we focus too much on those details unless we we we give the reasons as well then it’s different anyway regardless I it’s good that we we talked about this subject. However, because it’s not as important, God willing, I’ll I’ll I will not just do examples. I will actually give the details and the method of how we do count make the countings regarding the mathematical miracle in a future video. But I don’t think it’s as important. So, I’m going to leave it for the more distant future, God willing. Um, does anyone I I don’t think we should go to questions because it’s almost one hour.
So, for those who have to do the contact prayer, do the contact prayer.
