inshallah today’s uh I’m dedicating to a
small portion of the life of Isa
alaihissalam and something that is not
as well known about his life and the
Miracles that were given to him
um inshallah the the place I’d like to
start is something Allah tells us about
him in
there Allah mentions the Miracles that
were given to ISA Islam and the first of
the Miracles that he mentioned that is
not even referenced in the Bible it’s
not even known among the Christian
Community is
that he will speak to people even when
he’s a baby and even an older age and
he’s from righteous people
there’s an ishara in the word that I’d
like to indicate Allah didn’t just say
that he’s going to be among the prophets
good people
comes from someone who does good things
like you know we make we say the phrase
often
so Allah is actually highlighting the
actions and the Deeds of Islam in the
word this is also important because
um as we will see many many
denominations of Christians just like
Muslims can have different schools of
thought Christians also had many
different schools of thought right but
one of the common ideas they developed
among their schools of thought very
common ideas was that because of Jesus
because
the Son of God Jesus is the son of God
and he died for our sins
so we don’t have to obey the laws given
to Musa the torad we don’t have to obey
that because you had to obey the law of
Allah in order to be pure
but now that Jesus died for our sins
we’re already pure
so we don’t need the law to make us pure
right so you know any Even in our
religion in Islam Allah tells us
Good Deeds get rid of bad Deeds so every
day you and I make some mistakes we make
you know we we see something we
shouldn’t have seen or we said something
we shouldn’t have said or our Salah
wasn’t good enough small mistakes happen
but the prayers that we do and the good
that we do and the charity that we do
Allah is telling us that starts that
keeps cleansing and detoxing our sins on
a daily basis so we have this idea of
our actions actually being a way of
purifying ourselves uh you know
purifying our Deeds for us okay even in
Allah even mentioned is that giving
sadaqa can be can be more pure for you
it can be a way of purifying you right
so we have that concept but the
Christians developed A New Concept the
Christians developed a concept that
because Jesus died for our sins we no
longer have the burden of sins on us he
took all that burden so now we’re free
from sins and now what Allah says in the
Quran here very it’s very subtle he says
he’s from those who does Good Deeds
right so if you want to follow the
example of Islam you’d be concerned with
being also you should be concerned about
Deeds also but anyway let’s move forward
she you know after the you know she the
Angels were telling um about what kind
of child she’s going to have
Allah tells her or the Angels tell her
uh well
you’re going to have a child who not
only will he speak when he’s a baby
Allah will teach him the book
Allah will teach him wisdom
Allah will teach him and Allah will
teach him indeed so there’s four things
mentioned the book the wisdom torat and
indeed it’s you can think of it like
this the book and the wisdom comma
meaning the torat and the injeet so the
the book is actually talking about the
Torah and the wisdom is talking about
the inji actually among Christians they
used to refer to the Bible often as
wisdom that’s one of the names they used
for it and even in the Quran Allah says
came with all of his proofs he said I
have come to you with wisdom
for the injil is actually the summary of
the Angel is wisdom
and the summary of the Torah is laws and
the word in Arabic for laws is also
so Allah says in this Ayah he the angels
are telling Maryam then when Jesus is
born Allah Allah’s plan for him is that
Allah will teach him the book and the
wisdom Torah and in Jin so Islam will
not only know the injeel he will also
know the Torah he’s going to know both
of them now why is that important
because the angel has hikmah and in many
Christian communities the religion
itself just became about wisdom it has
nothing to do with the laws the laws
were before Jesus sacrificed himself the
laws were before God gave up his son you
don’t need the laws anymore and Allah is
saying that Jesus even before he was
born the plan was already declared that
he is going to be living by the law and
the wisdom both of them together right
now
he then describes he Allah jumps right
into the life of Islam so he’s born he’s
become older he’s giving dawa to the
bani Israel those were the Muslims of
that time okay and he’s giving them uh
uh dawah and he’s telling them the proof
why should they believe in him as
Allah’s messenger he’s he says
I am coming to you with a miracle from
your master and a sign from your master
so I have proof of why you should think
of me as a messenger foreign
I am going to create for you from mud
from wet soil I’m going to make the
shape of a bird
and then I’m going to blow into that
shape and it will become a living bird
by the permission of Allah
so the shape of a bird will turn into a
living bird that’s the first thing okay
then he says
and I will heal
the one that is diseased the the leper
you know the people that have very
severe you can even say terminal
diseases right viral diseases that they
could they were quarantined they
couldn’t live with the rest of society
they were separated those kinds of
people I will be able to cure them and
even the blind one
okay so I will be able to heal them okay
now
and I’ll be able to bring
the dead Back to Life by Allah’s
permission and he keeps saying by
Allah’s permission by Allah’s permission
by Allah’s permission so it’s not Jesus
brought the dead back to life Jesus
brought the dead bike to Life by Allah’s
permission he keeps adding this
qualification every time right
then he says and this is not enough so
so far we have three we’ve got that he’s
going to take the shape of a bird from
from dirt and he’s going to become a
living bird then the second was he’s
going to heal people that are in a state
of disease and weakness and the disease
was going to be gone by the permission
of Allah then he mentions the dead will
come back to life he will bring the dead
Back to Life by Allah’s permission then
he says
I’m going to tell you what you eat
meaning people come and meet with him
and he knows already what they’re going
to be eating at home
this is what you’re cooking at home it’s
different if you already ate and you
come and you could smell the chicken
like you had Biryani like that’s
different they haven’t eaten yet and he
can tell this is what you’re going to go
home and eat and um
people back in the day in the old times
they didn’t have Banks
and people didn’t have cash people had
gold they had silver they had valuable
items like that you know and they they
didn’t have a place to store it so they
used to have secret places either in
their home or in their back or somewhere
in the mountain somewhere where they can
dig and they can hide the items they can
bury the items in their home he says
the things that you’re storing in your
home and you’re keeping them secret I
will tell you what you have stored
this is one of his miracles right so
I’ll tell you what you’re going to eat
and then the items that you’re storing
and saving in your homes these are the
Miracles
listed in
and at the end of it all he says
just like he began he said in all of
that there’s a very powerful miracle for
you
if in fact you’re going to believe
but then he says he adds something more
and we’ll come we’ll come back to these
miracles in a second he said
this is really important now he says and
I’ve come to confirm whatever came
before me from the Torah
one of my jobs my first job is to make
sure I teach you what the torat actually
says the Torah actually says because
you’ve changed what it says and you’ve
changed this interpretation and I’m
going to and some parts of it are true
some of your tapseed is correct some of
your tafsir is incorrect
and I’m going to correct what you should
be believing about torat I’ll fix your
understanding of the Torah so at the
time the Sadducees the people that used
to or the Pharisees that used to teach
the Torah in in Jerusalem at the time
Israel
they were the people that studied many
years they studied the Torah and here
there’s someone who from being a baby he
never went to their madrasa he never
went to there he never graduated and
he’s telling them I am going to tell you
what Torah says
I’m gonna fix it for you you don’t
understand it correctly
I’ve come to tell you what it really
means so he and if you study the New
Testament you have the life of Jesus in
the New Testament and he’s constantly
questioning the the teachers of the
Israelites the muftis of the why do you
say why did you make up this fatwa why
did you get this from that’s not what
Allah said that’s not what he means you
people play games with Allah’s book and
he’s challenging them all the time
and those the you know their sheikhs of
back in the day the imma
they didn’t like it well he’s making us
look bad
you know we have the Friday they had
their Saturday they had their Sabbath
they had their sermons they had their
teachings and publicly he’s questioning
them and saying what are you talking
about that’s not what Allah said this is
not what Allah said so they started
developing a real hatred towards him
because he’s making us look bad he’s
ruining our reputation and then on top
of that he has all of these Miracles too
now even though this is not my subject I
will tell you that eventually they
accused him of being a magician and you
find this in the Bible and Allah even
also says that in the Quran right
when he brought them all the clear
proofs the ones I talked to you about
they said oh this is Magic then they
said oh Magic is Haram magic is Haram we
should be wajah we should kill him he’s
laser kafir we should kill him
you see this this is the fatwa they
issued after that and this fatwa is
still found in the talmud it’s still
found in Jewish literature that they
claim that they’re the ones who issued
this fatwa that he shouldn’t be killed
because he was a he was doing magic and
because of magic he’s outside of the
fold of Islam
right so that’s or which was a slab of
that time right now
what I wanted to share with you is a
little bit of background
in Jewish history in Jewish history a
couple of centuries before the coming of
Jesus the before the coming of Islam
they developed a lot of literature where
they talked about wisdom
this is a couple of hundred years before
Jesus now I already told you Quran says
Allah gave Rizal Islam the Declaration
he told his people I have come to you
with hikmah but we’re not talking about
Risa now we’re talking years more or
so more before Islam and in the Jewish
Community among their scholarship and
their literature they developed this
idea of hikman they had a really
interesting idea about what hikvah means
what does wisdom mean
and one of the ideas they developed is
hikmah means some very special people
among us they have knowledge of the
judge of Judgment Day
they know the details of Judgment Day
and how it’s going to happen but this is
not public knowledge this is not for
everyone you have to have a very special
status with Allah to be able to have
that knowledge and people who have that
secret knowledge is not accessible to
the public those people have what Hema
so they developed this idea of hikmah
being secret knowledge of Judgment Day
and in a sense they developed the idea
that knowledge of Judgment Day is not
meant for the public
the public is not they can’t handle it
in a sense it’s it’s actually for the
very very special people that have this
hikmah okay so they developed this idea
okay
now what’s also really interesting is
there were different but I have there
were different schools of Israelites
they all didn’t believe in the same way
they have different groups among them
and one of their groups even at the time
of Isa Ali salaam apparently the
knowledge of the akhara was so secret
they actually believed there is Noah
they were they believed in Torah they
believed in Musa
and they said we believe in Musa but we
don’t believe in anything that came
after Musa we don’t believe in we don’t
believe in the you know the zabur and
all of that we just believe in the Torah
we don’t look at any other Daniel and we
don’t find any in the Torah we don’t
find any judgment in the Torah and
therefore we don’t believe in the akhara
we don’t even have him and if you study
the Bible you’ll find then used to
debate with them from the Torah and
prove to them that the akhirah is also
in the Torah
that’s what he used to do anyway but the
thing I want you to note down is he used
to be giving he he used to they they
used to believe that wisdom means secret
knowledge of Judgment Day now what does
Allah do in the Quran
one thing Allah tells us is Allah gave
him wisdom
another interesting Allah says about him
Isa
he is knowledge of Judgment Day Jesus is
knowledge of Judgment Day
the question is how is he knowledge of
Judgment Day
how is he knowledge of Judgment Day
let’s go back and contemplate a little
bit of what happened in the Miracles
that were given to
the first miracle that was given to him
he told after you know speaking as a
child by the way even speaking as a
child I think is interesting because you
don’t expect a child to speak
right how can someone who has not been
given the ability to speak speak and if
you if you look at the Quran and you try
to find is there any place in the Quran
where something speaks that isn’t so you
don’t expect it to speak but it’s
speaking okay in this case there’s a
baby in speaking
one of the one of the things you find in
the Quran is on Judgment Day my hands
are going to be speaking my feet are
going to be speaking my eyes are going
to be speaking right and when when
there’s when they start speaking on
Judgment Day they start testifying
against me they start proving Ya Allah I
mean he you gave him control over me I
didn’t want to do it he did it
he touched what he shouldn’t have
touched he hit what he shouldn’t have
hit
he looked at what he the eyes testified
the feed testified I didn’t want to go
there but you gave him control so I they
he made me go there
and then the person who lost control
over their own body is going to testify
and say he’s going to complain says why
are you testifying against us
and then these body parts are going to
respond
the one who gave everything the power to
speak has given us today the power to
speak
right so even in Jesus speaking as a
baby there might be a subtle hint that
when Allah wants someone something to
speak it will it will testify it will
speak
but anyway if you go if you leave that
Miracle aside
what he was told what Maryam was told
actually about her baby What miracles
he’s going to have once he grows up and
then the Miracles that he spoke about
himself the first miracle was he takes
clay he takes mud
and he blows into it and it becomes a
living bird by the permission of Allah
which is actually something similar to
something we find in the Quran Allah
created the human being from
clay and then he blew into the human
being his Rule and then human beings
came to life
this is this demonstration by Isa Adai
Islam is something Allah did a long time
ago to remind human beings how they were
created
how they were this miracle the bird
Miracle is a reminder of how human
beings were created you could see the
connection now this is also important
because the when we were created when
Allah created us Allah actually told us
something
when we were created and then the whole
story transpired right
and then before even we came down to
this earth we were already told you’re
going to come back here
you’re going to end in for example as
one example of this Allah talked to all
of us when we were created before we
came to this earth and he asked us am I
not sure
and we all said of course you are
but he said
you better not say on the day of
standing on the day of Resurrection we
had no idea right now we were at that
time we were standing in front of Allah
we were talking to Allah what’s going to
happen again
we’re gonna stand in front of Allah
again that’s not the first time
that’s the second time right
I have created you and I brought you
back the same way I brought you the
first time
that’s the first and then Allah says
you already know the first time I raised
you
the the is the second time he’s gonna
raise us but he raised us already a
first time
so when this creation Story the the bird
turning into a living bird when that’s
mentioned it’s not just reminding us of
the beginning it’s also reminding us of
the end the next miracle that Risa
alaihissalam was given after that he
said he’s going to heal the people that
are sick the blind the leper you know
the people terminally ill Etc which is
what it’s going from weakness
to strength isn’t it
and human beings throughout their life
what happens with them they go from
weakness
to strength we go from being a child
that’s powerless to a stronger and
stronger and stronger we go from one
difficulty and Allah brings us out of a
difficulty we go from one impossible
situation we say how is how is there
going to be a way out and Allah brings
us out of that situation
so Allah constantly our life is full of
many difficulties and then many times
it’s also filled with relief that comes
from Allah
he makes a way out for them
with difficulty comes
you know and that that’s the story of
our life
but then right after that okay so we’re
born we’re created our life has
difficulties and Allah solves our
difficulties and then by the end of it
we die
and when we die there’s going to be a
judgment day and what’s the next Miracle
of he says I will I will give life to
someone who’s dead by Allah’s permission
this is very directly a reminder of what
judgmentation remember the Ayah he is
knowledge of Judgment Day
all of his miracles are tying together
this discussion about judgment in itself
and then on top of all of that the final
Miracle he mentioned is I’m gonna tell
you what you’re gonna do or what you
have at home and what you’re hiding
after we are raised on Judgment Day
what’s Allah gonna do he’s gonna show us
what we’ve been hiding
he’s gonna show us what we’ve been
eating
he’s gonna show us what we did isn’t it
those Miracles each one of them is
basically the story of human creation
one to the other to the other to the
other to the other
this is knowledge of the hour
the Israelites develop this notion that
wisdom is knowledge of the hour that’s
Secret
secret and Allah
and he exposes the knowledge of the hour
and he makes it so visible and so clear
but that’s on the Christian side there’s
something else that happened on the
Jewish side what happened that was on
the Jewish side something else happened
on the Christian side on the Christian
side I started in the beginning telling
you they started believing that because
of Jesus
there’s no more need for doing good
deeds
you don’t have to worry about any Haram
everything became Halal because for
example Allah made it haram for them to
engage in any business on the day of
Saturday right Allah talks about that in
Surat
but after you know Jesus has been
sacrificed we don’t have to observe the
Sabbath
we can have a normal day on Saturday in
fact the Ritual Day of you know the
Christian worship is Sunday it’s not
Saturday Saturday is a normal day now so
we don’t have to the Sabbath is done
we don’t have to worry about it right
the kosher kosher is like our halal food
what was given to them was the Kosher
diet that was their halal food which is
almost exactly the same as what Allah
gave to Muhammad
but the Christian Community said no no
we don’t need to worry about that
anymore
everything’s hello because the blood of
Jesus made everything halal
what did Allah say in the next
Allah is now telling us through Arizona
I came to confirm everything that has
already been officially given in the
Torah I’m here to say that is legitimate
that is for that’s what Allah wants
that’s what Allah actually says
and I have come to make certain things
Halal for you that used to were made
Haram for you in other words you
complicated the religion some of you
might be familiar with
the Israelites asked Musa asked them to
slaughter a cow
and they asked too many questions and
things became harder and harder and
harder right and that was a story that
represents something that happened in
their history they made rules the rules
were simple from Allah
the rules were simple though the rule
would be oh don’t you know for example
fast
what exact second should I begin fasting
what exact thing should happen
afterwards and then you want to have
questions about fasting and you want to
complicate it as much as possible uh
Allah Allah just made something simple
and you like you love making it what
complicated and then the more you the
more you complicated there are some
things some rules in uh the the the
Bible for example
there were five or six things or eight
five things that you’re not supposed to
do on Sabbath
or five things you’re not supposed to do
and eventually they turned them into
about things
with their fatawa
so they made they made life way more
difficult way way more they overly
legalized their religion right and the
Christian said let’s get rid of the
religion altogether let’s get rid of all
of that we don’t need any of it and
Allah is now through I’m bringing things
back to balance and he’s saying some
things you created that were Haram that
weren’t actually Haram
so I’m going to this is not making the
religion liberal this is going back to
the book If Allah has made something
Halal you shouldn’t be making it haram
there’s only a couple of minutes left I
just want to share with you one last
thing about these ayats inshallah
and that is that because
on the Jewish side the concept became
that wisdom is about secret knowledge of
the hour and that problem is being
solved
and the Jewish side another problem was
too many things were made Haram and
Islam said no no you made that up the
book actually says this you don’t have
to add to the list of Quran what do we
learn from that from the from the Jewish
side of the argument what do we learn
from it what we learn from it is Allah
knows better how to protect you and me
from evil
so if Allah made certain things Haram is
because he knows
like filthy things he made them Haram
right but when somebody comes along and
says I know that’s Haram but there are
some there are eight nine other things
Allah didn’t actually make them Haram
but I don’t like them
so we should be careful about these
things also so let’s add to the list of
Haram and keep expanding the list let’s
just to be careful I just want to be
careful
I just want to be protective
so to be careful you make more things
Haram in life than Allah actually made
the problem with that is no one cares
about protecting you more than Allah
himself
you coming up with rules and making up
more protections is as if Allah is not
enough
is Allah not enough for his servant
you know and this and people think
they’re doing this as an act of taqwa if
you’re more religious you’ll make more
things Haram
that that will be your logic now the
problem with that is
Allah says who dares to make something
Haram that the beauty that Allah made
Halal who dares to take something
beautiful that Allah made and makes it
haram that he pulled made out for his
slaves in other words there’s two
different crimes one crime is you take
something Haram and you make it that’s
what the Christians did
what did the Christians do they took
something Haram and they made it halal
and there’s another crime you take
something Halal and you make it that’s
what the Jews did
these are two different crimes and both
of these are crimes against Allah you do
not get to add to the law of Allah and
you do not get to take away from the law
of Allah and both of those extremes got
covered in these few ayats
in just these few ayats we learned
something remarkable about what happened
in the life of Islam and finally in this
last minute I’ll share with you why is
this important for us as Muslims this is
what what we learn about what they how
they were corrected
Allah told us that Islam was given
foreign
and this was the next Messenger to come
the final Messenger to come right after
Elizabeth is going to be Muhammad
rasulullah
okay yesterday I was explaining in the
hikmah talks that one group became
obsessed with al-kitab and the other
became obsessed with al-hikmah and Allah
finally sent his final Messengers
with the Quran
he will use and in this book Allah put
together
one of the things that hikmah does now
what what does the wisdom do the wisdom
keeps you from adding to the kitab and
the wisdom also keeps you from taking
away from the GitHub
you stay right balance you don’t get to
add and you don’t get to subtract it
stays right where it’s supposed to be
and that’s the perfect book the final
episode of Revelation that Allah gave to
Muhammad rasulullah it is as if the
story of Jesus in the Quran is preparing
us for the actual purpose of Muhammad
rasulullah
you know this is actually what’s
happening it’s you know like there’s the
preview and then there’s the main event
it’s like Islam’s mission is the preview
to the main event of the coming of
Muhammad rasulullah which is why you
find him especially telling people I
have come with a couple of missions this
is one of his missions what’s the other
mission that Islam has he says
and I have another mission I am I’ve
come to give you good news of a
messenger that’s coming after me his
name is Ahmed meaning he himself is
telling the people that my mission is to
actually prepare you for the coming of
Muhammad rasulullah and this is how
beautifully the Quran takes thousands of
years of Jewish history and centuries of
centuries of Christian history before it
and merges all of them together and then
invites them to this final episode of
Allah’s Revelation may Allah guide all
of us and guide our Christian and Jewish
brothers and sisters to the The Hulk of
this final Revelation and open their
eyes to this invitation that Allah has
extended to all of humanity
