Summary
Jummah Kutbahaykum: Islam is the one and only truth that can touch every human being's soul, whether you are a believer or a non-believer. If the Qur'an were from another planet, who would be the first person to be touched by it? Is it from God or is it from Satan?

Not only does it encourage you to read, it tells you how many verses you've read,
00:00:03.220
how many pages you've read, how long you've been on it, and best of all, the Hasana counter.
00:00:07.380
Download the Qur'ani app now and have a Ramadan with Allah's book like you've never had before.
00:00:30.000
As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:00:39.980
Do you know what I find really profound, brothers and sisters, which we study in the Seerah,
00:00:43.820
is that there was a specific instance where the Qur'aysh were listening to the Qur'an,
00:00:55.620
They were so overwhelmed by it that they bowed down in sajda.
00:01:00.680
Now, brothers and sisters, the enemies of Islam, people that don't like it,
00:01:05.980
the last thing that they would ever do or want to do is obey any kind of commandment.
00:01:11.440
But they were so overwhelmed and they bowed down.
00:01:14.540
Now, this reminds me of Sam Harris, somebody who has even made statements of nuking the Muslim world.
00:01:20.520
Someone who dehumanizes Muslims on such a level.
00:01:23.580
But he has an atom way of, should I say, not actually sincerity, or, you know,
00:01:29.580
or whatever you want to call it, but he makes a statement.
00:01:32.720
Let's watch for ourselves and see what we can get from this.
00:01:36.540
I mean, you know, for instance, I think the call to prayer,
00:01:39.180
despite what I think about the doctrine of Islam,
00:01:41.860
is one of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard.
00:01:44.460
There's absolutely no mystery to me that a devout Muslim would, you know, weep with ecstasy hearing this sound.
00:01:54.480
I mean, that's just, you know, despite my better judgment, I could shed a tear over that sound.
00:02:00.640
As you guys can see, he's making this bold statement where he's saying that it's one of the most beautiful things he's heard.
00:02:10.200
Now, he's become a spiritual, you know, he's bringing, you know, spirituality to this new atheism movement.
00:02:17.060
And he's, I've heard even has a map, which shows you that they realize that materialism, you know,
00:02:24.340
this view of materialism and everything is that we see is bringing nothing but misery to people and they're not happy.
00:02:30.720
So they have understood that the spiritual side of us human beings is absolutely necessary.
00:02:36.380
And talking about spirituality, for him to be touched by the adhan, to shed a tear,
00:02:41.720
and for him to claim or accept that Muslims, a devout Muslim would feel like when he hears adhan,
00:02:47.480
it's a form of ecstasy, he making those claims, to me shows again, a staunch enemy of Islam,
00:02:56.100
You know, Allah can guide whoever he deems, whoever he wants.
00:02:59.380
But for him to make those bold claims or those statements is very profound
00:03:05.340
and once again shows that if Islam was from, other than God, if it was from shaitan,
00:03:11.200
I don't think he can touch anyone's soul who hates it.
00:03:14.660
You know, I very doubt that somebody can hate it, you know, to that level.
00:03:20.140
And what I mean by that is, if it was from Satan, nobody would want any kind of connection to it.
00:03:24.740
But alhamdulillah, it's very clear that the Quran is from Allah
00:03:27.700
and that even his enemies witness and testify to how it affects and touches their spiritual side,
00:03:37.500
And so much so that there are Christians now who realise the power of Quran recitation
00:03:41.960
that they are even trying to imitate by singing the Song of Psalms in the Bible
00:03:46.620
to imitate the Quran, you know, like, and they claim this is from Satan.
00:03:53.540
Alhamdulillah, the truth is clear and falsehood will always perish.
00:03:57.920
And subhanAllah, we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that he makes a means of these people, inshaAllah, coming to Islam.
00:04:04.180
I want to share that with you guys today, brothers and sisters.
00:04:06.320
And once again, alhamdulillah, it shows that Islam is the one and only truth in every angle.
00:04:12.720
As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhm.
00:04:15.040
IslamNet is raising funds to establish a masjid and community centre in Norway
00:04:21.020
Every person who prays there, every kid that learns about Islam,
00:04:26.580
all of this and so much more can be on your scale of good deeds.
