And this is another stop in my series of random

stops that I'm making across New York and New Jersey before I head back to Texas.

There's a little bit of context for this lecture so you're not entirely lost in

what I'm doing. I'm engaged in conducting a series of lectures on trying to

understand Surat al-Qaaf in better depth. And I've been doing that I left the

Surah, the study of that Surah a few years ago. I got up to IAS maybe 67, 68,

something like that. And then I got involved with work in some other Surahs and

now I've come back to the Surah. Thank you so much. I never drink during a lecture.

Have you ever seen me drink during a lecture? It's never happened. I can't do it.

If I drank I forget everything I was going to say completely. Okay but anyway so

like I just forgot everything I was saying. Where am I? Anyway so I'm working

on I was working on some other Surahs for a few years and then I've

finally had the chance to come back to work on Surat al-Qaaf. And in my work on

this Surah I actually only came to New York for a short meeting, met with a

friend and one thing led to another I ended up getting a good bye at 96th Street

and giving some Bruce there and I just kept hopping from Mashaht to Mashaht. And

before I left it would be I would feel incomplete if I didn't make a stop at

the place where I learned what I'm to begin with the most in center of New York.

So I'm really glad to be here again. It feels home every time.

So I'm going to talk to you about Ayah's number 80 and 81 of Surat al-Qaaf today.

These Ayahs are in towards the end of the story of Musa al-Ahi Salam and al-Khadir.
