00:00:00.530 --> 00:00:03.730
Verse and interpretation

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:07.549
God Almighty said

00:00:07.549 --> 00:00:13.710
But God bears witness to what was revealed to you

00:00:13.710 --> 00:00:20.940
He sent it down with His knowledge and the angels bear witness

00:00:20.940 --> 00:00:26.910
God is sufficient as a witness

00:00:26.910 --> 00:00:29.510
With us, He revealed it with His knowledge

00:00:29.510 --> 00:00:33.310
That is, this book is the Qur’an

00:00:33.310 --> 00:00:38.109
It contains the knowledge of God, which He wanted to introduce into worship

00:00:38.109 --> 00:00:41.909
In it are clear proofs, guidance, and the Criterion

00:00:41.909 --> 00:00:45.310
It contains what God loves and is pleased with

00:00:45.310 --> 00:00:47.939
What he hates and rejects

00:00:47.939 --> 00:00:52.340
It contains knowledge of the unseen from the past and the future

00:00:52.340 --> 00:00:55.939
It contains mention of God's holy attributes

00:00:55.939 --> 00:01:00.740
What neither a sent prophet nor a close angel knows

00:01:00.740 --> 00:01:03.740
Unless God knows it

00:01:03.740 --> 00:01:05.939
As God Almighty said

00:01:05.939 --> 00:01:11.939
They do not comprehend any of His knowledge except what He wills

00:01:11.939 --> 00:01:13.340
And he said

00:01:13.340 --> 00:01:16.569
They do not take note of it

00:01:16.569 --> 00:01:19.370
On the authority of Ata’ bin Al-Sa’ib, he said:

00:01:19.370 --> 00:01:23.370
Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami taught me the Qur’an

00:01:23.569 --> 00:01:28.569
Whenever one of us recited the Qur’an to him, Abu Abd al-Rahman used to recite the Qur’an to him

00:01:28.569 --> 00:01:29.969
He told him

00:01:29.969 --> 00:01:32.569
You have received God's knowledge

00:01:32.569 --> 00:01:36.799
No one is better than you except by work

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:38.459
Then he reads

00:01:38.459 --> 00:01:42.859
But God bears witness to what was revealed to you

00:01:42.859 --> 00:01:47.859
He sent it down with His knowledge and the angels bear witness

00:01:47.859 --> 00:01:50.989
God is sufficient as a witness

00:01:50.989 --> 00:01:52.590
And the meaning

00:01:52.590 --> 00:01:55.590
The memorizer of the Qur’an is the one who knows it

00:01:55.590 --> 00:01:58.189
I know the best people

00:01:58.189 --> 00:02:00.189
No one is better than him

00:02:00.189 --> 00:02:03.189
Except for those who combine this knowledge

00:02:03.189 --> 00:02:05.189
Hard work

00:02:05.189 --> 00:02:07.189
Whoever increases the work

00:02:07.189 --> 00:02:09.189
Increased in credit

00:02:09.189 --> 00:02:12.449
We ask God for His grace

00:02:12.449 --> 00:02:14.449
