The Miracles...

Assalamualaikum wbt..

I was listening to Nouman Ali Khan recent speech in Malaysia, interestingly he talked about the miracles of Al-Quran. So what occur to your mind when someone brings this subject up? 
I used to say, Al-Quran has lots of miracles, but I never really knew what they were, except of course it heals and soothes my soul in a way I could never explain... 
But, I was never aware of these other miracles, that is the linguistic miracles.... 
Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan said;
"The miracles of the Al-Quran lies in its Arabic language.."
How can it be? 
Interestingly, he said the word used to describe Al-Quran is actually not 'miracle' in Arabic, but "I'Jaz Al-Quran" instead...
 And the meaning of "I'Jaz" is something like, to bring someone to his knees... 
So how relevant is this?

It means that, no matter how someone tries to find faults or weaknesses in Al-Quran, or to counter it, or to deny it, they will only eventually retreat and give in and fall to their knees, for they will only find truth and revelation in it...

And one of the best part about his speech was when he shared his own experiences about this, about his own studies of the linguistic miracles of Al-Quran...
 He said, there were times when he had to stop, and go to a corner and just sit there, and cry and cry and cry.... 
For what he had discovered was too overwhelming for him, and of course for us too if we're willing to bring ourselves to discover it...

Ok, let me just share one of these miracles, this video is also a lecture from Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan, shared by my friend during Tadarus session. This one is one of my favorites, it's amazing....
SubahanAllah!!!!




In above video, he'd asked us to look at this ayah:

Surah Yaseen, 40;



It is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming.


Focus on this in above ayah:

  ……كل في فلك……. 

Its meaning is : Orbitting, rotating....

Look at its arrangement carefully;

                                           ك   ل   ف   ي   ف   ل   ك

The 1st, the last, the 2nd and 2nd last, the third and the third last, notice it? 
And amazingly they seemed like as if they are 'rotating' aroud ي and the word كل في فلك itself means 'rotating'...
Wow...... 
I found this utterly amazing, how Allah has arranged every single letter, word, so beautifully, and they were perfect!

So, this is just one example of the linguistic miracles of the Al-Quran, there are many many more, feel free to listen to Nouman Ali Khan's lectures, they are all over You Tube. And you know what, the more I discover these miracles, the more my knees wobbled, these were words from Allah SWT and when we really try to understand each messages in the Quran deeply, we'll feel the connection with our Creator, and yesss, there were times when all I wanna do is just to get down on my knees and cry...
SubhanAllah.....
