0:00 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
0:03 Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
0:12 A Summary of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).
0:17 The Magnificent Qur'an is the greatest of all miracles.
0:26 Allah the Exalted says, recounting the words of the polytheists:
0:30 “And they say: Why are not portents sent down upon him from his Lord? Say: Portents are with Allah only, and I am but a plain warner.” (29:50)
0:36 “And they say: Why are not portents sent down upon him from his Lord? Say: Portents are with Allah only, and I am but a plain warner.” (29:50)
0:44 “Is it not enough for them that We have sent down unto thee the Scripture which is read unto them? Lo! herein verily is mercy, and a reminder for folk who believe.” (29:51)
0:51 “Is it not enough for them that We have sent down unto thee the Scripture which is read unto them? Lo! herein verily is mercy, and a reminder for folk who believe.” (29:51)
0:57 "Say, 'Sufficient is Allah as a Witness between me and you.'"
1:02 He knows what is in the heavens and the earth.
1:05 “Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Allah sufficeth for witness between me and you. He knoweth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those who believe in vanity and disbelieve in Allah, they it is who are the losers.” (29:52)
1:15 The Hafiz Ibn Kathir said:
1:17 He, the Exalted, speaks of the polytheists and their stubbornness,
1:21 and their demand for signs to prove to them that Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the Messenger of Allah,
1:28 just as Salih brought forth his she-camel.
1:31 The Exalted said: "Say, O Muhammad, 'The signs are only with Allah.'"
1:38 Meaning, the matter rests solely with Allah.
1:41 For had He known that you would be guided, He would have answered your request,
1:46 as that is easy and simple for Him.
1:50 But He knows that your intention is merely stubbornness and testing,
1:56 so He does not grant your request.
1:58 Then the Exalted says, highlighting their profound ignorance and the absurdity of their reasoning,
2:04 in that they demanded signs to prove the truthfulness of Muhammad, peace be upon him, in what he brought them,
2:11 even though he had already brought them the Mighty Book,
2:14 which falsehood cannot approach from before it or from behind it.
2:19 “Falsehood cannot come at it from before it or from behind it. (It is) a revelation from the Wise, the Owner of Praise.” (41:42)
2:22 It is greater than any other miracle,
2:25 for the most eloquent and articulate masters of language were unable to challenge it,
2:29 or even to challenge ten surahs like it,
2:33 or even to challenge a single surah from it.
2:36 Imam Ibn al-Qayyim said:
2:38 The Magnificent Qur'an,
2:40 contains that which is not found in anything else.
2:44 It is the call and the argument,
2:47 it is the proof and the thing proven,
2:49 it is the witness and the thing testified to,
2:52 it is the judgment and the evidence,
2:54 it is the claim and the proof.
2:57 Allah the Exalted says:
2:59 "Is he who is upon a clear evidence from his Lord,"
3:03 "and a witness from Him recites it?"
3:06 Meaning, from his Lord,
3:07 and it is the Qur'an.
3:09 And He, the Exalted, said to those who demanded a sign to prove the truthfulness of His Messenger, peace be upon him:
3:16 “Is it not enough for them that We have sent down unto thee the Scripture which is read unto them? Lo! herein verily is mercy, and a reminder for folk who believe.” (29:51)
3:23 “Is it not enough for them that We have sent down unto thee the Scripture which is read unto them? Lo! herein verily is mercy, and a reminder for folk who believe.” (29:51)
3:29 “Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Allah sufficeth for witness between me and you. He knoweth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those who believe in vanity and disbelieve in Allah, they it is who are the losers.” (29:52)
3:34 "He knows what is in the heavens and the earth."
3:37 “Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Allah sufficeth for witness between me and you. He knoweth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those who believe in vanity and disbelieve in Allah, they it is who are the losers.” (29:52)
3:42 "It is they who are the losers."
3:47 Thus, He, the Glorified, informed us that the Book He revealed
3:50 is sufficient as a sign above all others.
3:53 For it contains the argument and the proof that it is from Allah, the Glorified,
3:57 who sent His Messenger with it.
3:59 It contains the explanation of what ensures happiness for those who follow it,
4:03 and saves them from the punishment.
