In this pure Quran, all the sciences are present which were bestowed upon all the prophets before the Messenger of Allah. What is the essence of the Quran? In this pure Quran, it is said concerning Moses (peace be upon him) that Allah gave him the Book. Concerning Moses (peace be upon him), Allah the Almighty says in the Quran. Concerning Solomon (peace be upon him), Allah the Almighty says in the Quran that his courtiers brought it. In the blink of an eye, it was knowledge. Allama Iqbal said that when one establishes a connection with the Messenger of Allah, those secrets begin to be revealed to him which are the secrets of the Book of Knowledge, and this pure Quran is its detail. In the case of Moses (peace be upon him) and Solomon (peace be upon him), there are more indications that when Moses (peace be upon him) says to the Prophet of Allah that I want to travel with you. Concerning Solomon (peace be upon him), the pure Quran also testifies that the wind used to move at your command, and the wind would start moving. You used to understand the language of birds and animals. The entire incident of the birds is written in the Quran, that the birds spoke and Solomon was listening, and you heard the secret. Making the wind move at your command. Today's modern people say that many cartoon characters start talking in your hand, wood. Even today, in the Prophet's Mosque, that piece of wood is buried near the blessed pulpit, on which the Messenger of Allah used to lean and deliver sermons, and the entire mosque heard its voice, and thousands of people, especially the incident of the Ascension. You were taken from here to the Middle East, to the Haram, to the Al-Aqsa, and this journey happened at night. All these incidents could not have happened if Solomon's courtiers, who had the knowledge of the Book of Knowledge, had brought the throne from Yemen to Solomon in the blink of an eye, then in today's language, this is called teleportation. [Music] Allah calls this Quran "Noor" (light). Allah calls this Quran "Furqan" (distinguisher). Allah calls this Quran "Hidayah" (guidance). You have to distinguish between what is forbidden and what is permissible. You have to distinguish between truth and falsehood. You have to distinguish between monotheism and doubt. So this Quran will tell you. You have to differentiate what is right and what is wrong. You have to differentiate who is the creator and what is the creation. And who are the servants of Allah and who are the assembly of Allah? So for that, Furqan is also this Quran. And if you want to know all the secrets of the universe that were given to the earlier prophets and which Allah mentions in the Quran, then for that too, this is the same Noor, which is this Quran, which will guide you. This Noor comes from the Quran, and there is no other means to obtain this Noor. You get the Messenger of Allah when you establish a connection with the Messenger of Allah. Many people read this Quran but cannot attain these sciences. Many people are misguided by this Quran, many find guidance. This comes from Allah through the heart, which we made with Allah and then forgot it. When the entire universe was not created, when you and I, all the humans of the world, were not created, when our bodies were not created, then the reality of all humans, the reality of humanity, every human, in their own place, Allah had written them standing, and all of humanity had testified before Allah. This is also written in the Quran. The Quran narrates the entire incident. When the universe was not created, the sun, moon, stars, galaxies, it was given to remember. In the Arabic, this is a reminder, a remembrance, a reminder of this covenant that we made with Allah. There is no beloved, no purpose, no meaning, no beloved except Allah. There is no existent except Allah. [Music] So obviously, the person who forgot "La ilaha illallah," who said "La ilaha illallah" with certainty, but then breaks that relationship, cuts off that relationship, does not connect with that relationship, which they were commanded to connect. And what is that relationship after "La ilaha illallah" that must be connected to take guidance from the Quran? Here your statement is complete. Here you are confirming the statement "La ilaha illallah Muhammad Rasulullah" and you are connecting yourself with that relationship with which you were commanded to connect. And if you want to gain Noor from this Quran, then you must establish a connection with the Messenger of Allah. If there is no such connection, love, and affection, then the third condition is that they spread corruption in the land. Then the statement whose connection is not there, who will not establish that connection and love, will be misguided and will spread misguidance. This is what the Quran says. This condition is essential for taking guidance from the Quran, O companions of the Messenger of Allah. [Music] If you claim to love Allah, then follow and obey me with true love. Allah will love you. The difference between obedience and submission is that obedience is to follow a command. The soldier was ordered by the general, and he did it. The soldier was ordered by some junior, and he did it. Submission happens when Allah's favor descends upon you. Allah's favor begins to descend upon those who said, "Our Lord is Allah," and remained firm on it. What is that favor? That favor is Noor. In today's language, it is a positive spiritual force field of Allah the Almighty that begins to descend upon a person. It starts increasing the energy of your entire being, your Noor. How famous is that divine Noor? "O Allah, make my hands Noor, make my eyes Noor." My front, my back, is a light that has connected you with this entire universe. And when you become connected with this universe, its secrets begin to open to you. You start seeing with the insight of Noor, which is said to be seeing with Noor. Allah's entire universe is under the control of that servant. He reaches such a station that before every destiny, when the destinies of others are being written, Allah asks him, "Tell me, what is your pleasure?" It is a sign of Allah that when Allah takes an oath on something, Allah's creation does not tolerate breaking the oath. Iqbal said about this that the destiny of men changes with those eyes because those eyes are seeing with Allah's Noor. His gaze is a prayer for you. His gaze is changing your destiny. And all this is given to him because he has a relationship and connection with the Messenger of Allah. Today, because he has broken that relationship which he was commanded to connect, because when he says "Bismillah," then he embraces the Messenger of Allah so tightly that the relationship is never broken again. In matters of respect for the Messenger of Allah, they became even more so. You must have heard that famous incident when the Turks built the mosque, they gathered the best craftsmen from the entire Muslim world, brought them to Medina, settled them outside Medina, and told them to bring their children, teach them their knowledge. And after that, a craftsman was prepared who was a Hafiz of the Quran, a craftsman, and knew her skill. Then the construction of the Prophet's Mosque was done with such respect that leather was wrapped around hammers so that there would be no noise there, so that the Messenger of Allah would not be troubled. The command of the Quran is: "Do not raise your voices in the presence of the Prophet, lest your deeds be nullified and you do not even realize it." This respect is maintained today. When mentioning our friends and companions, our elders say that in the courts of great kings, we did not see that respect and awe which we saw in the gathering of the Messenger of Allah. When you used to speak, there was such respect and silence. The companions would not let the water of your ablution fall on the ground. You would speak, and the companions would not let the water fall on the ground; they would take it to their chests. On which they would sacrifice their children, their mothers, their lives, everything. It was a matter of respect. Imam Malik wrote his book. He remained the Imam of Medina his entire life. He never wore shoes in Medina, thinking, "The Messenger of Allah must have walked on this ground; how can I walk on it wearing these shoes?" Our elders, who were great scholars and Imams, knew what was forbidden and permissible in Sharia, but in matters of respect, this is not a matter of choice. They could not inflict pain, but they wanted to do it. Today, we wear shoes. They did that respect, that was their station, but the matter is of the heart. There should always be a presence that in matters of the Messenger of Allah, a person remains needy, lest disrespect occurs. Today, people dismiss the hadiths of the Messenger of Allah by saying, "The hadith is wrong; we do not accept it." Like Saif al-Dawlah, how much knowledge do you have? You have no wisdom, no insight, nor do you know the religion and hadith. You have no connection. These ignorant, disrespectful people then spread corruption in the land, as the Quran says. They are far from it. Their work is spreading corruption. This Quran has described the ranks of both disbelievers and Muslims. There are people of Paradise among them. It is a beautiful abode. But those who were given the clear knowledge of the Quran will be fortunate. One will get Paradise, and one will get something else. Simply going to Paradise is not perfection. There is a difference between ordinary Muslims and those who are rewarded. An ordinary Muslim cannot even comprehend the deeds and favors of those who are rewarded. How can an ordinary Muslim, who follows the prayer, fasting, zakat, and mistakes, know the station of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq and others? How can he know the station of Saudah and Salim? His flight is not there. That is why Iqbal said that there is flight in the same Fajr, but the flight of a vulture is different, and the flight of a falcon is different. To achieve that, the Messenger of Allah said to Moses (peace be upon him) through the favor of Aslam, "O Allah, on what matters will you have patience?" You do not know those matters. This is being taught to the Prophet, whom I have bestowed favors. Moses (peace be upon him) asks, "Do you have all this?" That same matter. If a person is drowned in his own ego, if a person recognizes himself, and his self is separated from his Lord, the saying of the elders is: "He who recognized his self, recognized his Lord." They forgot Allah, so Allah made them forget who they themselves were. Today, this is the case with our humanity. Humanity has forgotten who it itself is. The status of humans has become so diminished. He whom Allah created has become the most excellent of those who take the best form. Therefore, he has broken that relationship which he was commanded to connect. Where are these sciences written in the Quran? Why did we not see them? Why are they not in any other book? Elevate yourselves, include yourselves in those ranks where these sciences are. Those who have them keep them in their language; they do not speak. Did Solomon distribute them by writing them in books? No, those for whom they were meant received them. In today's era, it was bestowed that the wind used to move at your command, and you could control the system of the universe. You used to hear the voices of birds and animals. That knowledge of the Messenger of Allah has no restriction. You can become like that from here. If you are in Saudah, you can also be there. That is why you pray to Allah every day for a straight path, for the path of those whom You have favored. If the prayer is accepted, you will become like them. If you go here, then today, the second secret of this Quran has been given to you. How to take guidance from it? How to obtain its secrets? The method itself is explained in the Quran: "Uphold the covenant that Allah took from you." Start with "La ilaha illallah." If you fulfill these three conditions, this Quran will begin to open its secrets to you. Establish a connection with Allah. Increase your devotion to the Messenger of Allah, the noble Prophet. For the sake of Allah, may mercy descend. Then, when you read this Quran, it will open its secrets to you.
