Why Every Word of the Quran Matters

Here we have alhamdulillah and subhan allah. These two words are part of this collection. When we say alhamdulillah it includes the meanings of subhan allah meaning to Allah belongs every perfection and he is free of any imperfection. And if we see subhan Allah mentioned on its own in a sentence in a paragraph then it means that Allah is free of any imperfection and to him belongs every perfection. But when they're mentioned together, subhan Allah negates any imperfection and alhamdulillah affirms every perfection. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala here in this verse in the opening verse he says alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah meaning all perfection belongs to Allah and he is free of any imperfection. Then he mentions the Quran right after well what is the Quran? The Quran is the words of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has clearly mentioned numerous places in the Quran that the Quran is the actual words of Allah verbatim. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala above his creation upon his throne he spoke the words of the Quran to ji and jire learned these words directly from him and he then descended upon Muhammad sallallah alaii wasallam and recited these words to him And he then transmitted these words to his companions. And this is why the Quran cannot be recited by meaning. This is why the wording of the Quran is incredibly critical because they are the literal actual verbatim words of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala word for word, letter for letter. verse for verse every single word of the Quran. Gibl heard that from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and Muhammad heard it from Gabriel. And so being that the Quran is the words of Allah, it is of the attributes of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So when we say that alhamdulillah all perfection belongs to Allah that perfection is reflected where in his book in his words and so Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala introduces the Quran to us as a book that comes from the most perfect in every conceivable way in ways that we know and especially in ways that we don't. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has taught us his names. He has taught us his attributes. He has taught us his actions. However, that is merely a tiny tiny tiny amount of knowledge with respect to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. The prophet sallall.aii wasallam tells us that Allah has 99 names meaning that he has told us of in the Quran in the sunnah that represents a drop of an ocean with respect to the true names of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and the attributes of Allah. Most of the names of Allah and his attributes, we do not know them and we will never know them because we were not built to be able to understand or comprehend that much. We were only taught of Allah's names, of Allah's attributes, what is relevant and conceivable to us on this earth, in this reality with our particular level of intelligence and brain. But the words of Allah are endless. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he says he says you all have not been given of knowledge but a tiny amount. And inkbas narrates that when accompanied and they rode in the boat. When they got onto that boat, the prophet sallall.aii wasallam says a bird landed on the edge of the boat and it put its beak into the water and took a sip of the water. Can you imagine a bird put its beak in the water? How much is a bird going to take in its little beak? Upon seeing this turned to Misam and said, he turned to Misam. First lesson. What was the first lesson? They saw this bird sip from this sea. They're on this boat. He turned to Musam and said, "My knowledge and your knowledge combined with respect to the knowledge of Allah is the amount that this bird just sipped from this seed." How much is that? Inconceivable. We will continue this next week inshallah that will suffice us for today.
