ALLAH WAKBELL

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh

Alhamdulillah wa salatu wa salamu ala Rasulillah wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa men wa la amabal

The theme of this year's ikna convention is a timeless theme. It is a theme that should always be a constant theme in our lives.

It is a theme that deals with the book of ALLAH, the final revelation, the Qur'an il Kareem and the Qur'an il Majid.

And my talk today will concentrate on one aspect of this beautiful book.

We've all heard that the Qur'an is the living miracle of Rasulillah wa salatu wa salam.

We always say that the evidence of our religion is the Qur'an. The Qur'an is the only miracle or the major miracle or the primary miracle.

But not too many of us can qualify. How is the Qur'an a miracle? What is it about the Qur'an that is so miraculous?

And in today's short lecture, my goal is to answer this question in a manner that insha'Allah wa ta'ala we can use to strengthen our own iman and to prove the validity of Islam to other people.

And before I begin, a prelude about the concept of miracles.

We believe as Muslims that every prophet was given miracles.

We believe that one of the signs of a prophet is to be given miracles.

And we also believe that every prophet was given miracles in accordance with the culture and custom of the people of his times.

So for example, the prophet Saleh was sent to Thamud and the people of Thamud, what did they pride themselves on?

They prided themselves on building palaces and castles carved into stone.

To this day, their palaces and castles are objects of amazement and wonder.

To this day, we can visit their houses and we wonder, we still do not know how did they carve these houses into the mountains.

We still do not know, there are theories.

And they prided themselves on this art and the skill.

So what did Allah SWT do?
