00:00Assalamu alaikum. I am Maamun from Habi Ganj, Bangladesh and I am a student of intermediate.
00:08Why are the Quran and its verses not organized like worldly books?
00:13As usually our books have different topics on different pages and each discussion is on its own topic.
00:20But Quran is different. Sometime it is seen that in the middle of one topic,
00:25another topic suddenly appears without any context.
00:30It seems to be a collection of disorganized and scattered statements.
00:34Please clarify. Yes, I do agree with you that Quran is not like a normal book written by human beings.
00:43If you read most of the books written by human beings or even the scriptures that came before the Quran,
00:57whether it be Bible, etc. It talks like a story book. In the beginning Hansel and Gretel or in the beginning there was light and God created light and God created this.
01:10So it is a story format. In the beginning it was so and so and then they went out and then they have a happy ending.
01:17So Quran is unlike the other worldly books which are written by human beings and unlike the other scriptures which are written by human beings.
01:25So that is the beauty of the Quran. I do agree with you that while the Quran is talking suddenly a new topic comes up without context.
01:34The same thing is not mentioned together. It is mentioned in different parts. For example, if you want to know about the story of Iblis and Allah subhanahu ta'ala,
01:43how you disobeyed Allah, it's not in one paragraph or one page or two pages. It's in seven different surahs and different pages.
01:50That is the beauty of the Quran. So coming to your question, that why is Quran like that?
01:55Because Quran is not the word of a human being. All the other human beings, all the other books, they are the work of human beings.
02:02Even the so called scripture, whether it be Ramayana, whether it be Mahabharata, whether it be the Quran, sorry, whether it be the Bible,
02:09all of them have the same fashion like a story book. Like a human being, right? A beginning, the body and then there is the end.
02:16Quran is different because the mind, the human mind keeps on wondering. So the Quran, the beauty of the Quran is,
02:23it is convincing the people. If it was like in a story fashion, it wouldn't have convinced the people.
02:30And what does the Quran say? Quran says in Surah Isra, chapter 17, verse number 18, that this is the Quran,
02:39that if all the human beings and all the jinn, if they gather together to create a book like the Quran, they will not be able to do it.
02:49Quran is giving a challenge. Then the Quran gives a challenge in Surah Toor, chapter number 52.
02:59verse number 34, that try and produce a recital like the Quran. Allah is giving a challenge.
03:09That if you want, if you say that the Quran is forged, try and produce a recital like the Quran.
03:17Allah makes the challenge easier in Surah Yunus, chapter number 10, verse number 38.
03:22If Allah says, do you say that the Quran has been forged, then try and produce 10 Surah like the Quran.
03:30Allah makes the challenge easier in Surah Hud, chapter number 11, verse number 13, that do you say it is forged, then produce one Surah like the Quran if you are truthful.
03:43And some of the Surah are only three verses, only ten words.
03:48Now comes the main challenge.
03:53Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala makes the challenge easier.
03:57Allah says in Surah Baqra, chapter number 2, verse number 23 and 24, Allah says,
04:02Misli, not Misli.
04:03The earlier challenge was,
04:07Misli, not Misli, the earlier challenge was produce a Surah like the Quran.
04:34Here Allah makes the challenge more easier.
04:36Try and produce a Surah somewhat similar to the Quran.
04:41You will not be able to do it and of a surety you cannot do it.
04:44And the verse continues.
04:46And call forth your helpers, if you have anyone besides Allah, if your doubts are true.
04:58And you cannot, and of a surety you cannot, then fear the fire whose fuel shall be man and stone.
05:11Ya Allah is giving a challenge.
05:13You will not be able to produce a like of the Quran.
05:15You can't even produce 10 Surah.
05:17You can't even produce one Surah.
05:18Allah makes the challenge more easier.
05:20Either you can't even produce a Surah somewhat similar to the Quran.
05:27Even if you get the jinns and the mankind, you will not be able to produce a Surah somewhat similar to the Quran.
05:35So here, Allah subhanahu ta'ala is talking about the beauty of the Quran.
05:49And coming to your question, that why is Quran like the, unlike other books?
05:54Because the other books are written by human beings.
05:57It doesn't have the beauty of the Quran, the language of the Quran, the supremacy of the Quran.
06:03The Quran, the Arabic language is fantastic.
06:06Ya Allah is giving a challenge, try and produce one Surah which is only three verses.
06:10Only ten words, then you cannot do it.
06:13That is the beauty of the Quran.
06:15And Quran has got various scientific facts which the other books don't have.
06:21At a time when sciences and advanced Quran mentions about biology, about botany, about oceanology, about zoology.
06:31That is the beauty of the Quran.
06:33And furthermore Quran is also mathematically coded.
06:37For example, Allah says in the Quran in Surah Imran chapter 3 verse number 59.
06:42Allah says,
06:44The similitude of Jesus in front of Adam.
06:57The similitude of Jesus in front of Allah is the same as Adam.
07:01Allah said to Jesus, be and it was.
07:04So those people who said that Jesus is God because he had no father.
07:08So Allah says that if Jesus becomes God because he had no father,
07:14then Adam peace be upon him has to be a bigger God.
07:19He had no father and mother also.
07:21So here we realize that there is no concept that a person who doesn't have a father becomes God.
07:27So here by language if you understand that the language is very clear.
07:32That the similitude of Jesus in front of Adam, in front of Allah is the same as Adam.
07:38That means meaning wise we know that Adam just because he had no father,
07:46he doesn't become God.
07:52Similarly, if a person.
07:57So Allah says the similitude of Jesus in front of Allah is the Adam.
08:02He was created from dust and said be it was.
08:05So this is the beauty.
08:08Now, besides the matter being correct, if you analyze it,
08:13Issa alayhis salaam by name is mentioned in the Quran 25 times.
08:18Adam alayhis salaam by name is also mentioned 25 times.
08:21So besides the meaning being correct,
08:23even the mentioning of the word Issa alayhis salaam in the Quran is 25 times.
08:28Adam peace be upon him in the Quran 25 times.
08:32So this is the miracle of the Quran.
08:34So if you change the order, it will not be the same.
08:37And not only is the timing, not only the counting is correct.
08:42If you read the verse of the Quran in Surah Imran chapter 3 verse 59.
08:47It says,
08:48Inna misala Issa indallahi ka misala adam.
08:52The similitude of Issa alayhis salaam in front of Allah is the same as Adam.
08:58Allah said be and it was.
09:01So here we come to know that besides the meaning being correct,
09:07even if you count the total number of time mentioned in the Quran,
09:11both Adam and Issa alayhis salaam 25 times,
09:14besides that if you count from Surah Fatiha chapter number 1 verse number 1
09:18to Surah Qahf chapter number 18,
09:22Surah Imran chapter 3 verse 59,
09:26Isa alayhis salaam is mentioned seven times and even Adam alayhis salaam is mentioned seven times.
09:32Imagine.
09:33Out of the 25 times from the starting of the Quran
09:37till Surah Al-Imran chapter 3 verse number 59,
09:42Adam alayhis salaam is mentioned seven times
09:45and Isa alayhis salaam is also mentioned seven times.
09:48It's a miracle.
09:49So if we, not only the matter,
09:51it's not in the book format,
09:53even if you change the order,
09:55if you put from words from Surah Bakhra to give it in,
09:59in, in any other Surah,
10:01or Surah Alak, et cetera,
10:02this code will be broken.
10:04So there is a mathematical code
10:06of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
10:08that even after we,
10:12if we analyze,
10:15that if we check,
10:18this is the beauty of the Quran.
10:20the beauty of the Quran.
10:21The beauty of the Quran is that,
10:29is that it caters to the mind of the human being.
10:32How does it function?
10:34How does the flow go?
10:35How does the mind keeps on jumping?
10:37So this is the beauty which makes it unique
10:40as the word of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
10:43unlike other books which are more of story format,
10:45which are written by the human beings.
10:47Hope that says the question.
10:49As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
