The 'superposition' nature of the Quran | Mufti Abu Layth

problems coming to the other part of this question what rami asked is um the the the structure i feel that what is a miracle honestly of the quran and it's so amazing honestly i i can't state this enough and somebody tried to question they said you know mufti you speak about superpositions of the ayat of the quran which i borrowed the term from quantum physics of superpositions but this really i have to say

to me one of the greatest miracles of the quran is that it was all too easy for the quran if it was from you know people say this is just made up or the prophet was taking it from the assyrian texts and the uh you know the the middle eastern texts and the apocryphal bibles and the uh he was just taking wisdom from here assatea and he was doing this and he was making it up it was all too easy it was way too easy [Music] to make mistakes honestly it was

i find it so phenomenal that the quran nests part of its discourse in a necessary ambiguity and that is i think for the common person they they miss it you see they just can't appreciate it and i think it's such an amazing feature of the quran honestly me and dr mee faisal were speaking about this um about two weeks ago and it's just so it's hard to see people can't appreciate it but

because they only read translations and in fact in the past when i've mentioned certain things um you see the quran nests part of its discourse its ayat in a a a buffer this kind of this superpositional nature to it that it can mean multiple things and it never seems to box some entire i mean maybe some verses obviously are just clear but and you see right it's hard to explain this because

when i say clear they all appear clear they appear clear to what you are reading but you could take an entirely different meaning and it could still be clear to that that is just an amazing feature it's so wonderful but you have to appreciate it and i think one of the things the quran does about that as well is it addresses the the al-kitab of the time with narratives and incidents and stories that that they know but it

leaves it in a way that it works with them and even if it was different it still works you see and um yeah and as let me give you a little example let's say i've spoken previously about the uh how moses may have been akhenaten that akhenaten from the uh egyptians the pharaohs may have been moses now obviously we don't know but it's plausible it's interesting the quran doesn't take a stance on this

and that's that's just so honestly it's so amazing and yet it leaves it like if you read it just from the judeo-chris christian tradition nope if you read it from an egyptologist position it could be as well you see and it still is clear to everyone who's reading it and this is to me the miracle of the quran because it came for all times all places and all minds that you might read it and think wow this actually

you know it doesn't say this or it does say this and and and and it just wow so yeah
