[20:18]foreign foreign foreign [Music] foreign is so [Music] foreign is foreign foreign

[25:24]foreign foreign [Applause] [Music] oh so [Music] okay shape underneath this is

[27:13]one of my favorite segments especially for cartoons before we start will

[27:19]be ever present i'll be too far away can you try that

[27:50]so a couple months ago i offered to do a talk on

[27:56]a certain topic and it's something that we do probably about 120

[28:01]or 200 times during my talk we do 720 times an hour

[28:05]17 000 times during the day and 6 million 300 000 times

[28:11]during the year does anybody have an idea what we're going to

[28:14]do what we do breathe exactly that breathing so my talk today

[28:23]is about the lost article so with breathing it's not just about

[28:33]so when we breathe we take in billions of molecules of air

[28:37]every time we take a breath it goes into our body by

[28:41]our lungs into the lung into the bloodstream and carried along by

[28:45]these hemoglobin or red blood cell corpuscles into our bodies where it

[28:49]finally meets the actual engine in which the oxygen is used to

[28:52]create energy but breathing isn't just about creating energy yeah it covers

[28:59]so much more it does so much more to our bodies and

[29:04]it affects every single organ that we have within us it affects

[29:07]our our cardiovascular system where it regulates our heart rhythm our heart

[29:12]rate our blood pressure it can affect our brain in terms of

[29:18]memories uh it causes various chemical releases which can affect our mood

[29:22]and can affect our mental health too it affects our digestion our

[29:26]nervous system and our immune system such that it helps with regard

[29:31]to fighting infections and also warding off autoimmune diseases or dealing with

[29:37]human diseases so the other thing with breathing has been shown through

[29:46]various stories various uh articles and uh other research that it has

[29:53]a role to play in aging and uh there was a gentleman

[29:59]back in the 1900s who was in his 60s and he was

[30:03]a colonel within the british military and had spent time out of

[30:07]india and when he returned to england he spent most of his

[30:11]days being more or less redundant in his time and he aged

[30:14]he became uh immobile he became he became under the influence of

[30:19]various diseases and was getting old and he was looking for this

[30:24]wonderful fuel and he ended up going back to india to look

[30:26]at his fuel when he returned back to four years later he

[30:29]was a bald man when he left he came back with a

[30:32]full head of hair he was upright standing upright and walking along

[30:35]unaided and was looking 20 years younger when he was asked about

[30:41]how that how he had managed this he put it down to

[30:45]posture stretching and breathing he essentially had managed to reverse the aging

[30:54]process and managed to get himself fitter and more agile and able

[30:58]to fight off disease this gentleman here on the stream this guy

[31:05]called carl stout now back in the 1960s again he was an

[31:08]ex-military man he was a doctor and he was sort of known

[31:12]as the godfather of breathing he was in a hospital where he

[31:20]had many end stage uh epicenters uh patients those people suffering from

[31:23]end-stage emphysema these eyes were bed-bound they were on supplemental oxygen and

[31:29]he had made an observation that's when they breathed they didn't breathe

[31:32]properly they had lost the ability to breathe so through various exercises

[31:38]and various uh demonstrations he was actually managed to get them to

[31:44]use their diaphragm and he's the king so the godfather of diaphragmatic

[31:47]breathing uh and managed to increase their lung capacity by twice twice

[31:50]the size of what it was before so much so that these

[31:54]guys were bed bound were now able to walk and walk upstairs

[31:56]they were able to get off their supplemental oxygen and begin living

[32:02]a reasonable life again so what that basically taught us so what

[32:11]it tells us is that through breathing we can retrain ourselves we

[32:14]can re-learn how to breathe properly and have lost art and this

[32:17]person on the left believe it or not he's 50 years old

[32:21]and he's a guy called herbert lynch and as you can i

[32:22]don't know if you can read people the bottom caption says that's

[32:28]40 world records for free diving this is the chase man who

[32:31]holds the record for free diving down to 250 meters and during

[32:36]that world record attempt or success he was able to hold his

[32:39]breath by over nine and a half minutes when he was asked

[32:42]how he was able to achieve that he said it was through

[32:46]training breathing and mindset the ladies next to him are ammo so

[32:53]japanese uh women from so they're called and these ladies have and

[33:00]their ancestors for over three thousand years have been diving searching for

[33:04]pearls oysters in the deep sea and again when you ask them

[33:08]how they manage this is thought through mindset and breathing techniques which

[33:11]can all be learned and it doesn't matter what you what the

[33:15]age the uh japanese divers are now sort of dying breed and

[33:18]there's only a few of them left and they age between 50

[33:20]and 80 years old and still to this day they still died

[33:24]even at the age at those ages down to find those oysters

[33:26]and curls so in history there's been many occasions where people have

[33:38]described breathing techniques or meditation techniques uh or even prayer in which

[33:43]they're able to control and regulate their breathing so well one example

[33:47]of them are the for this monks and the buddhist monks have

[33:51]been able to demonstrate that through prayer meditation and breathing regulation they're

[33:55]able to regulate their temperature they're able to control their immune system

[33:59]such they can fight off infection they're able to treat diseases within

[34:03]themselves and they're able to actually slow the rate in which they

[34:09]age as well physiologically i mentioned temperature regulation is a buddhist monk

[34:13]who's able to actually meditate and breathe in the snow so and

[34:17]they're able to regulate their temperatures such that they can have an

[34:19]almost 16 degree difference compared to us normal people with regards to

[34:25]regulating our temperature i don't know if anybody's been watching the tv

[34:33]recently but there's a program on at the moment called free to

[34:37]fear and this is the main character a guy called wim hof

[34:39]this is a gentleman when during his thirties his wife had passed

[34:44]away and hit him quite hard and he had turned to uh

[34:47]the buddhist monks uh for strategies on dealing with this and coping

[34:52]with this and what he'd learned was their secrets of being able

[34:57]to harness these techniques that they they had in order to be

[35:01]able to combat the freeze and be able to do all sorts

[35:05]of amazing things this is a gentleman that was able to run

[35:06]a half marathon in the arctic circle with nothing but a pair

[35:10]of shorts on no shoes bare feet he was able to run

[35:14]a full marathon in the namibian desert without a drop of water

[35:16]and he was able to do this and control this via various

[35:20]breathing techniques and when you ask him how he's managed to do

[35:22]this he says it's through three things breathing freezing and mindset he's

[35:31]philosophy has gone worldwide and he's fully available on the internet and

[35:36]you can read about it you can see various youtube tips about

[35:40]it as well one of his um followers there's a guy called

[35:45]um chuck mcgee and he's a 33 year old who was dying

[35:50]uh diagnosed with diabetes along with diabetes he was found to be

[35:52]hypertensive high blood pressure he had anxiety depression he had chronic uh

[35:58]pain with regard to his back pain and he suffered with also

[36:04]other autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis he then became a follower of

[36:08]qualities techniques followed his uh methods and he was able to come

[36:15]off with his blood pressure medication he was able to come off

[36:18]of his benzodiazepines that he was on and he's able to reduce

[36:21]his insulin by over 80 percent oh and this is a picture

[36:29]of chuck mcgee here so like i said throughout history there have

[36:34]been demonstrations there's been literature about how people have been able to

[36:39]use breathing and harness their bodies in order to fight disease and

[36:45]during the 80s they took wim hof and various other buddhist monks

[36:49]and carried out various experiments on them such as they looked at

[36:56]how they managed to regulate their body temperatures they put them in

[36:59]extreme cold extreme heat and they were able to control that just

[37:01]like through their breathing techniques itself they were able to so one

[37:06]experiment they did which i found quite amazing was they injected these

[37:08]volunteers and went off with e coli and in us normal people

[37:14]that would have caused a fever diarrhea vomiting you know we'd be

[37:18]very very unwell but in these people they were able to regulate

[37:21]their immune system regulate their energy and were able to fight off

[37:25]this infection within a million minutes it basically didn't even affect them

[37:30]you know and when the researchers looked at this they found it

[37:34]wasn't just due to breathing techniques it was about an internal energy

[37:38]that these guys possess that they will make able to harness and

[37:43]use to extend that they were able to control it whereas normal

[37:46]people have not developed that technique so one of those um one

[37:51]of the descriptions of this energy that we have between us between

[37:55]the molecules that we can harness is from india called prana planet

[37:58]stands life force and pranayama means life sports expands so through breathing

[38:04]and people who follow kanyama are able to through uh various breathing

[38:12]techniques through acupuncture postures and even spicy food are able to control

[38:17]this energy such that they can calm their mind relieve stress and

[38:21]heal their bodies in china they call the same energy that flows

[38:28]through everybody chi and over there is our tai chi instructor who

[38:32]comes and teaches us every thursday who's able to harness this chi

[38:38]through a method called qigong and qigong stands for breath working and

[38:42]they're able to through this breathing aim to harness this energy and

[38:45]focus it and be able to get the benefits of this energy

[38:49]uh through healing uh through mindset and able to heal themselves within

[38:56]as well as control their anxieties and depression and various medical illnesses

[39:00]that they have but one word warning is that the breathing techniques

[39:10]aren't as straightforward to do as in you can just go to

[39:12]the internet and read about it and do it by all means

[39:15]you could do it but my advice would be if you are

[39:18]going to go down the street and look at these breeding techniques

[39:20]you do need an instructor you do need to be in a

[39:24]safe environment because these can have quite extremely extreme uh events that

[39:29]can uh that can cause you to faint lose consciousness to hallucinate

[39:33]if not done correctly so my advice is if you are gonna

[39:36]uh learn some reading techniques stick to these simple straightforward ones and

[39:41]stuff like the united structure you need to be guided how to

[39:47]do this but as a doctor this energy this healing process that

[39:53]comes with the wheel and i see it all the time as

[39:56]a doctor we help people we cut things out we give them

[40:01]medication but the true healer is from within i see people heal

[40:04]by themselves the energy that comes through through them we just support

[40:08]them in allowing the body to actually heal itself and that's why

[40:14]i'm just going to end with this hadith by any mummy that

[40:19]i think encompasses quite a lot of what i've talked about it's

[40:23]about mindsets about well-being and the first step in mindset and well-being

[40:27]is i believe through breathing thank you [Music] announcement on behalf of

[45:38]once again this evening you can please request all the welcome chairs

[45:42]with the loudest of those islands we're early mohammed [Applause] [Music] [Music]

[46:02]uh [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign oh did the prophet split the

[47:51]moon in two this is the question that we'll examine this evening

[47:55]and we'll approach this whole topic in three stages first of all

[48:00]we'll look at what the quran and tradition say about this whole

[48:08]incident then we'll go on to mention some of the arguments put

[48:11]forward by those who say the prophet did not split the moon

[48:20]in two and it was not any such miracle then we'll look

[48:22]at the responses to these arguments after that we will end by

[48:29]just looking at what spiritual lessons we can gain from this whole

[48:44]stage what does the quran and the traditions say about this event

[48:51]well it is widely reported in both sunni and shiite sources from

[48:56]the traditional perspective but from the quranic perspective we have the verses

[49:06]mentioned in which is chapter number 54 of the quran and the

[49:11]very first one is the one that i recited a few moments

[49:15]ago where allah what does this mean first of all the first

[49:31]part the hour has drawn near the hour here refers to the

[49:37]day of resurrection why has the hour drawn near well it is

[49:43]because when the holy prophet was sent to mankind this is actually

[49:57]a sign in the traditions as to the nearness of the day

[49:59]of resurrection so for example we have a very famous tradition where

[50:05]he says holding up his fingers like that he says that i

[50:14]have been sent and in relation to the hour again the day

[50:19]of resurrection it is like these two meaning that my coming to

[50:26]you to mankind being sent to guide mankind and the day of

[50:30]resurrection are very very close it's like these two fingers together so

[50:36]the coming of the holy prophet in relation to what has transpired

[50:44]in the whole lifespan of the earth is regarded relatively speaking as

[50:48]being near to the day of resurrection so all the previous history

[50:52]of the earth then you have this point where the prophet comes

[50:56]to mankind in relation to this point to the day of resurrection

[51:02]it is relatively near right relatively speaking so this is the first

[51:06]part as to what is meant by this first what about the

[51:11]second part one that the moon is split into what does this

[51:18]mean and how can we explain it well like i said there

[51:24]are so many traditions about this event narrated by both sunni and

[51:30]shiite sources but essentially when we put them all together they are

[51:34]reported in various different ways but we put them all together we

[51:37]gleaned the following sort of like a story and incident that took

[51:42]place with regards to the splitting of the moon the policies of

[51:46]mecca so it first of all happened in mecca before hijra just

[51:51]to give some context to the incident the politics of mecca demanded

[51:56]from the prophet that he produ he split the moon in order

[52:01]to prove that he is the rightful prophet so rasulullah he prays

[52:10]to allah to make this happen splits the moon in two then

[52:17]the prophet calls to the people that also and so also and

[52:23]so bear witness then allah puts the moon back together now in

[52:31]one report we are told that one of the disbelievers actually said

[52:37]that well he has bewitched us but he won't be able to

[52:39]bewitch the people of the whole world so let's do one thing

[52:46]let's wait until some travelers come from a far away land to

[52:49]mecca when they arrive here we'll ask them that did you see

[52:55]this event take place and then we'll be able to ascertain will

[53:01]we only be reached here in this locality or did it actually

[53:04]take place in other places as well did other people see it

[53:06]this is how we'll be able to ascertain the truth this is

[53:11]what they do a little later some travelers begin to come every

[53:14]time a traveler enters mecca they ask that traveller that did you

[53:19]see the moon being split like this and then being put back

[53:22]together and they confirmed that they did so in fact this is

[53:28]really the mainstream opinion both sunni and shiite scholars agree on this

[53:33]generally speaking the vast majority of commentators and scholars of the quran

[53:39]say that this verse actually points to the moon splitting into and

[53:43]it was a miracle that happened now let's have a look at

[53:49]some of the arguments in stage two of this whole discussion put

[53:53]forward by those who reject this having taken place what arguments do

[53:58]they present well first of all we have to bear in mind

[54:03]that these rejecters of this account are very few and far between

[54:10]very very few of them actually say it was a miracle did

[54:12]not take place but let's have a look at the arguments and

[54:16]then we'll see the counter arguments as well one of the few

[54:23]commentators who says it wasn't a miracle is that person who we

[54:27]introduced yesterday muhammad assad you recall yesterday that he was this jewish

[54:33]convert who embraced islam and he translated the whole of the quran

[54:41]it was published in 1980 okay so he's austrian by origin changes

[54:48]his name and becomes a muslim now in this translation of the

[54:55]quran i mentioned yesterday that he has thousands and thousands of footnotes

[54:58]when we look at his translation and then his footnotes he tells

[55:04]us the following he says that and you recall that he had

[55:08]this very particular approach to interpreting in particular those supernatural things that

[55:14]are mentioned in the quran he took a very rationalist approach to

[55:18]explaining those supernatural phenomena that are mentioned in the quran and therefore

[55:24]he had a very uncomfortable position with regard to miracles we saw

[55:30]that yesterday with the miracles of isa where he tries to explain

[55:38]them in a metaphorical way and using language that really explains it

[55:43]either in an allegorical way metaphorical way or scientific way always when

[55:47]it comes to miracles this is his approach because of his rationalistic

[55:51]tendency so when it comes to this incident he says that it's

[55:55]possible that what had actually happened what the people had actually seen

[56:03]was a partial lunar eclipse right that it is possible they saw

[56:10]a partial lunar eclipse and this in turn produced in their minds

[56:15]an optical illusion right this is his explanation of this incident of

[56:21]the splitting of the moon partial lunar eclipse causes them to have

[56:27]an optical illusion what are his proofs and evidence for this opinion

[56:34]he mentions and he says that well look at the verse the

[56:42]word is actually past tense in arabic is past tense so it

[56:47]literally means this the the moon was split he says that in

[56:53]the quran we have many instances where allah uses the past tense

[56:59]verb to refer to something in the future why does allah do

[57:04]this this is a particular style of the quran and is there

[57:06]in the arabic language that when an event is is definitely going

[57:13]to happen it's certain to happen the past tense is used this

[57:19]is a little bit strange for us when we look at things

[57:22]in english but this is the arabic language and certainly the quran

[57:25]has this so for example in verse number 50 we are told

[57:34]that as that the people of the hellfire they actually call out

[57:46]to the people of paradise they call out now all i should

[57:53]translate it as they will call out notice future tense right when

[57:57]we look at it in english they will call out because that's

[58:01]obviously going to happen in the future isn't it but in arabic

[58:03]nada is used it's past tense it means literally called out to

[58:12]them but it just it's an example to show that when something

[58:14]definitely is going to happen certainly will happen allah uses the past

[58:20]hands okay so this muhammad assad uses this as his proof that

[58:24]the past tense is used in this verse is a past tense

[58:32]verb and it refers to the future so what future he says

[58:36]it refers to what will happen as a sign for the coming

[58:42]of the day of resurrection we know that when the day of

[58:46]resurrection will come in the whole created order as we know it

[58:51]will be destroyed everything will come to an end and a new

[58:55]order will be created so he's saying that this will happen in

[59:01]the future just like everything else will be destroyed so too will

[59:05]the moon be destroyed it will split asunder and therefore when allah

[59:13]says he's talking about a future event a sign that the akhirah

[59:17]is about to come into existence so this is his proof and

[59:23]he takes this and he says that there are authorities that support

[59:28]this etc now when we look at this this is the first

[59:32]argument put forward by those who reject that it was a miracle

[59:38]a second argument is that look if this truly happened then why

[59:45]didn't many many people see it why didn't many many people report

[59:51]it that's the second argument so the first argument is based on

[59:55]the actual wording of the verse past tense means future and it's

[59:58]something that refers to the coming of the day of resurrection second

[60:01]argument is that why didn't many people see it and report it

[60:04]third argument is that why didn't it cause cataclysmic natural disasters on

[60:14]the earth the earth obviously has a very close relationship with the

[60:20]moon [Music] and if the moon is split into two definitely that

[60:25]should have a massive cataclysmic catastrophic impact on the earth how come

[60:32]nothing like that has been reported good arguments or not let's have

[60:38]a look are there responses to these arguments was it really a

[60:44]miracle or is it referring to something that was an optical illusion

[60:47]or was referring to the day of resurrection let's examine the responses

[60:53]beginning with the response to the first objection that look at the

[61:05]wording of the quran is that yes look at the wording of

[61:11]the quran the apparent meaning of the verse is that the moon

[61:15]was split we cannot just bypass the apparent meaning and say that

[61:20]yes past tense refers to a definite thing that will happen in

[61:23]the future etc well past tense primarily means past tense you only

[61:30]make it sound like it refers to something in the future if

[61:35]there are very specific reasons for example if you were to say

[61:40]that it relates to the past tense it wouldn't make much sense

[61:43]it wouldn't really fit the context there wouldn't be a good reason

[61:49]to translate it as past tense then you say that when here

[61:51]past tense means future tense otherwise you don't go down that route

[61:54]in the first place you don't say past tense means future tense

[62:00]if a plausible explanation can be given for it to be translated

[62:03]as past tense and there is a plausible explanation here because of

[62:08]the traditions that we have and the apparent meaning of the verse

[62:15]that means the moon was split into so this is the first

[62:21]thing secondly one of the best proofs is the actual passage of

[62:27]the quran itself whenever you come across verses look what comes before

[62:31]look what comes after it the siak as it's known the literal

[62:36]context of the verse well when we look at that we have

[62:40]perhaps the best proof that it was a miracle and that is

[62:45]because the very next verse explains certain things to us what does

[62:49]the next verse say verse number two of circle says [Music] what

[63:02]that means is that when they see a sign aya sign but

[63:08]ayah in the quran when we talk about miracles the word is

[63:13]not used right miracles in the quran is referred to as ayah

[63:19]so it means when they see an ayah when they see a

[63:24]miracle they turn away and they say it's an incessant it's a

[63:31]continual magic it's a continual magic this is their claim they see

[63:33]it but they say it's all magic and the prophet you know

[63:38]they're saying that he does this continuously magic after magic after magic

[63:42]so here is a very good counter argument that why would they

[63:48]say this is a magic surely they have seen something extraordinary isn't

[63:55]it if you think you are being bewitched or a magic trick

[63:58]has been played on you is because you have seen something something

[64:02]has happened which is extraordinary it's not normal so the argument is

[64:07]why would the policies accuse the prophet of doing magic if it

[64:14]didn't take place if it was referring to something in the future

[64:17]a sign of the day of resurrection it means they saw something

[64:21]extraordinary i.e the moon splitting that's why they accused the prophet of

[64:27]doing another magic so that's one argument then we said that those

[64:37]who reject this miracle say that why wasn't it widely reported and

[64:43]widely seen well what's the answer to this the answer to this

[64:48]is that it was widely seen and reported you will recall in

[64:54]that incident that i really i i recounted earlier that not only

[64:59]had the policies at the time seen it but they said that

[65:02]let's wait for travelers to come isn't it from fire of lands

[65:07]and if we'll ask them did you see that as well or

[65:10]is it just us were being bewitched if they said yes we

[65:13]saw it then we will know that it actually did happen so

[65:17]we have the policies at the time that crowd that was there

[65:21]they certainly sorry then we have the travelers coming in when they

[65:25]were asked did you see the moon being split when you were

[65:28]away far away from mecca they said yes we saw it being

[65:34]split also when we when they say that why isn't it widely

[65:37]reported you know what this incident is regarded as being tawatur kawakur

[65:42]is the highest level of a tradition it means wide scale transmission

[65:50]motorwater traditions are those that have been reported by so many reporters

[65:57]in all these stages of its transmission generation after generation that we

[66:04]attain certainty as to its authenticity we have no doubt about him

[66:09]this incident is regarded as being tawatur wise transmitted in a wide

[66:19]scale to the extent that we have certainty the highest level of

[66:23]status given to any report so who says it's not widely reported

[66:29]who says it wasn't seen by many people on top of that

[66:32]we can say that all right let's say you don't accept all

[66:36]of that and you want even more people to have seen it

[66:39]right you want even more people to have reported what possible reasons

[66:45]could there be if we take your argument and we go down

[66:48]this route what possible other reasons could there have been that it

[66:52]wasn't seen more widely and reported more prominently look at the reasons

[67:02]that can be given for this first of all when it's night

[67:04]in one place it's daytime in the other right half the world

[67:09]is in darkness the other half is in daytime so immediately half

[67:12]the world could have seen it anyway right that's half the world

[67:15]sorted just like that secondly let's have a look at the half

[67:18]that there was night time they could have been well we know

[67:25]that it was late so people would have been at home or

[67:28]asleep so they might not seen it it could have been cloudy

[67:33]at that time it could have been such that the miracle did

[67:39]not make any sound at all it did not diminish the level

[67:44]of light that was there so something's happening in the sky it's

[67:47]not making any sound let's say and if the light levels are

[67:52]not diminishing let's say then you wouldn't notice it you would only

[67:57]notice it if you happen to be looking at the sky at

[68:02]that time so is it any wonder that not everyone saw it

[68:06]also let's say that this event was not reported so much because

[68:17]in those days these type of events were not reported like they

[68:21]are today you know they say that even if you get you

[68:26]know a moderately famous person sneezing the whole world knows right the

[68:30]way social media is these days everything is reported the person is

[68:34]not even that famous moderately famous person sneezes everybody knows about it

[68:37]in those days it wasn't like that not everything was reported and

[68:42]another argument is that how long did this event take place for

[68:47]did it last and lasted last that someone's bound to have looked

[68:52]up at the sky and then seen it no it was a

[68:53]relatively short incident it happened and that was it allah put the

[68:59]wound back together so can you see why even if we don't

[69:03]accept the tomato argument and the travelers and the policies and widely

[69:09]reported and all of that it's not such a big thing to

[69:15]say that when it was not that type of event the circumstances

[69:20]was not that type of thing that millions and millions of people

[69:22]could have seen it so now the third argument was that if

[69:30]it happened then why don't we know of those cataclysmic natural disasters

[69:38]that will go bound to happen on the earth isn't it when

[69:42]the moon splits then surely because of the close relationship between the

[69:46]moon and the earth we would have had many many natural disasters

[69:50]right well the answer is very very simple who made the miracle

[69:57]happen in the first place he made it happen simply by willing

[70:06]it the prophet prayed to him allah made it happen and very

[70:08]easily he made the two hearts come together again allah can destroy

[70:15]every single thing just by willing it doesn't we're not even talking

[70:22]fractions of seconds here we're just talking about simply willing in kun

[70:25]for your everything is destroyed for your code everything is created if

[70:32]allah can split the moon so easily and do all these amazing

[70:36]things so easily just by simply willing it then can he not

[70:44]also miraculously prevent any cataclysmic natural disaster from happening of course he

[70:48]can it's not even you know a thing for him to that

[70:55]it would be difficult and for us to debate why wasn't there

[70:57]a tidal wave here and this volcano then this landslide here and

[71:03]etc etc in the same way that he proved for his prophet

[71:07]his prophethood to those who were demanding some proof he can also

[71:13]put it back together without disturbing the natural order without harming anyone

[71:16]without killing anyone and this is a very good response to that

[71:24]third objection so then finally let's have a look at what points

[71:34]of spiritual development we can get from this incident because it's fine

[71:41]looking at the quran understanding it and learning a bit more about

[71:48]allah's words even it reflects on our theology because obviously miracles are

[71:51]a big part of our theology and we get to learn about

[71:56]what others are saying about our holy book but it's also very

[71:58]good especially in this holy month to see what spiritual lessons can

[72:03]we derive for our personal and spiritual development well for this we

[72:09]can look at the very next verse now we're on verse number

[72:13]three of suratul allah tells us why those prophesies not accept and

[72:20]said that it's all just magic why they rejected this amazing sign

[72:33]allah tells us that they rejected it they denied it why because

[72:42]they followed their they followed their desires their palestine preferences what they

[72:50]wanted to believe that's what they followed they followed their carnal whims

[72:57]and desires so what is the lesson for us my dear brothers

[72:59]and sisters the lesson for us is that the signs of allah

[73:05]are clear they are always there allah constantly is proving his existence

[73:13]and all of his teachings to us that we need for our

[73:16]guidance for the architect to get close to him they are clear

[73:21]but they become foggy they become unclear they become clouded when we

[73:31]follow our personal desires when we want to believe what our nuts

[73:38]our low-level nurse is telling us to believe when we start following

[73:42]our whims this is exactly why those politics did not believe as

[73:46]his first elsas they denied it and they followed which is plural

[73:55]of they follow their personal desires everything is recorded good and bad

[74:02]so my dear brothers and sisters sometimes we come across certain things

[74:08]in the quran in traditions that are a little bit difficult to

[74:14]fathom right like the splitting of the moon etc parting of the

[74:19]seas extraordinary acts that prophets have done all the r have done

[74:23]but should we just reject them take a purely rationalist perspective say

[74:29]this does not make sense and let's look for metaphorical explanations letters

[74:35]for scientific explanations let's look for rational explanations purely based on intellect

[74:40]our internet is limited it cannot explain certain supernatural things our knowledge

[74:48]is limited our sources and abilities are limited it does not mean

[74:53]they are fake it does not mean we reject them we have

[74:58]to remain open we have to remain objective impartial and not say

[75:03]all of this is some type of you know some type of

[75:08]extravagance or exaggeration or volume or this type of really really harmful

[75:17]projections onto our religion and how we must understand it even though

[75:23]some things are a little bit difficult to fathom we should not

[75:28]reject them because of our personal inclinations and desires and whims this

[75:31]is the lesson that we get from this whole incident to help

[75:36]us in our spiritual development so as a summary and a conclusion

[75:40]this incident when we look at what the quran and traditions tell

[75:47]us it is quite clear that they tell us it was a

[75:50]miracle that the holy prophet did in order to prove his prophethood

[75:57]there have been objections there have been arguments against it but as

[76:04]we saw each one of these objections does have its counter argument

[76:07]and has a very plausible response and [Music] also we saw and

[76:14]we conclude that from this incident we learn that even though certain

[76:19]events certain things certain reports might be difficult for us to fathom

[76:25]and understand like miracles it does not mean that they are necessarily

[76:30]false or fake and they can happen we are limited in our

[76:36]internet in our sources in our abilities and there are certain supernatural

[76:41]things that we can only gain by examining the true teachings of

[76:48]the quran and instead of following our carnal desires and dreams let's

[76:54]pray to allah that he hastens and protects our holy imam o

[77:00]enable us to correctly understand your words o allah accept all of

[77:08]our acts of servitude in this holy month or allah forgive us

[77:13]and our forefathers for our sins o allah bring relief to all

[77:16]those facing difficulties around the world and all allah enable us to

[77:20]live and die according to the teachings of the to ask for

[77:32]quran if you go on youtube and you put national international american

[77:38]space against nasa there is a scientist called karna and karna is

[77:48]the chief scientist who studied the lunar history and the lunar geology

[77:54]and he found there is a kit in the morning and the

[78:01]video i had it actually in my pocket karna said there is

[78:09]no explanation whatsoever to have this land in the moons in this

[78:13]one with different geology and different analysis of the stones composed in

[78:22]this slit apart from historical events could have happened to the moon

[78:30]that it is split and distinct has become muslim all right right
