What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenThe guest denies abrogation, reading 2:106 as about miracles replaced over time, since ayah in the singular never means a verse. Mufti Abu Layth says he is not against abrogation in principle but that 2:106 does not prove it and that no verse was ever lifted from the Quran.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth asks whether the Quran allows abrogation, naskh, on which the guest is vocal. The guest calls it one of the major fabrications against the Quran: the Quran says in 4:82 that a book from other than God would be full of contradictions, yet the hadith followers say there are many and resolve them by claiming one verse abrogates another, even holding that a sahih hadith can abrogate the Quran; he says al-Shafi'i, the first promoter of this, was an enemy of the Quran, whereas Abu Hanifa followed the Quran alone and was accused of heresy. Turning to 2:106, Mufti explains the traditional reading, that Allah does not abrogate or cause a verse to be forgotten without bringing a better one, and says that while he is not personally against abrogation he finds this verse does not prove it and completely disagrees with the belief that verses were lifted from the Quran. The guest says the singular ayah occurs eighty-four times and never means a verse but a sign or miracle, as all translators render it elsewhere, while only the plural refers to the Quran's verses; a single verse cannot be a sign because the shortest chapter has three verses, the minimum for the divine mathematical copyright, so 2:106 says that when a miracle such as Moses' parting of the sea is forgotten God brings another, and the Quran's mathematical structure is that miracle. Mufti asks whether, with no abrogation, slavery is today abrogated as he himself argues through trajectory hermeneutics.

description of the king or the government of that place Hadees they made it comes in Yemen in Basra true fair Mecca correct and sharm Damascus in all these places because those fabricated during the time by people who lived in that in those area okay I was going to say you know you mentioned something there just a little while back about NASA this whole concept of mass and this is once again an area of great interest for you that there was no such thing as NASA because we're just looking
at the Quran from your perspective which is focusing on the Quran does the Quran allow a concept of abrogation does it allow it to abrogate itself for example you're very vocal on this position you fear that this is not this is absolutely made of this concept yeah I'm taking some notes I don't want to because I see okay yes of course it is one of the major fabrication conspiracy and hostility against the Quran the Quran
now may be the most read book about lease understood and the most betrayed book and they have by distorting the meaning of some verses and they created the idea of NASA by this way they claim there are contradictions in the Quran why the Quran chapter 4 verse ad to see says when can I mean I be a relay the wager to feel fear 11 kathira yeah if it was from other than God they would find many contradictions in the book they say yes there are many contradictions of
course they say and here it is this verse is contradicting this one therefore this came after this one swabbing rule is another way of distorting the Quran and I said and they used the worst man and Tuchman ayat in omens are not evil and they say therefore this world after one this contradicts that one therefore his men so first of all they don't understand the verse of the Quran because they say the Quran is difficult the Quran they don't believe God's words therefore they between them and the Quran during the hijab and the Quran
says they a master ll ma Haroon only clean people their mind clean they understand if they're called mind promoted with lies with Hadees with zan with dogmas of course you will not be understanding the Quran and therefore they don't understand the verses of the Quran they say well this contradict the other because they don't understand and they say well one of them is making the other abrogate and the other not only that they went even further they say hadith sahih hadith it contradicts the verses of the Quran sahih hadith nesic do abrogate means nullify the verses of
the Quran you know that this is inanimate they do yeah yeah the Hanafi make a distinction and say they say no but the rest of them do accept it much more saying as soon as a whole Quran as Chev writes that it does Shafi was the enemy of Quran he was the first promoter of course he was the enemy of Quran yeah he was the enemy of ever honey honey it was a movie he believed in Quran alone he didn't follow Hadees therefore during his time abu hanifa it was accused of if his son did
he used to be done and then Shafi in fact sheffy early Shafi they were not trained after Hannifin people who followed his ideas were supporters of him Muhammad did not really establish the sect of Hanafy it was after him because he was a popular person he was a hero of moral things under his name they hijacked his name they created a fake Messiah I mess up after him but let's come back to Nasser the one of the verses is used is this one man and Seminary eighteen Avenue see her
negatively failing min hair Oh Mickey had this is chapter 2 verse 106 correct yep I believe it's surah bakra yes it's - yeah yeah how is traditionally this is translated or kept sealed on yes so traditionally and I and I personally do also find issues with some of the traditional kind of translations for this not translation but the interpretation of it they tend to say that man and surfman ayat in own uncia that they the claim is that a lie saying
that we do not abrogate an answer from the terminus of a a verse all caused people to forget it now i have said because that even traditionally even though i'm not personally against abrogation but i've said that this verse doesn't really prove that and it comes in the context as well speaking about bani israeel and all these things so but that's how people traditionally understood it that they're trying to say saying we don't make people forget a verse and from here they built a belief or they use this to justify the belief that some verses of the Koran were
lifted which once again I completely disagree with but people feel this there's things which are more for at Halawa so they used to be they were like Andrew fat Allah lifted the verses yep so okay here it is the word are yet this is singular form ayah the Quran is very interesting book and it makes so much extra meaning at once sometimes between plural and singular form the usage of the Quran we need to pay attention when I look at the word ayat
in singular form it is mentioned in the Quran 84 times the word ayah the word are yet I don't remember how many times but perhaps it is more it is mentioned in the Quran ayat is the plural of Aria I am inside evidence proof are yet means evidences signs proofs plural now in this verse it is said are yet when you look at the Quran throughout the Quran the word IH it means miracle signs not the verses of the Quran never ever in this one let's say we don't know eggs maybe
another verse you may have questioned but in all other you will see all the translation they understand they translated as miracle yeah just to clarify to the viewers that what that the term ayah on its own no if you read a science has a timer boot at the end or the plural are yet but ayah which comes 84 times in the Quran putting this one time aside because that's what we're discussing but the remaining 83 it's always speaking about a sign it's never speaking about a verse of the Quran which we also call today an ayah maybe when it comes in the plural form it is
referring to the ayat of the Quran but not in the singular form in mashallah now the world our yard it all sorry to miracles signs and also verses of the Quran the plural in fact implicitly these Kalos one verse of the Quran is not enough to be an alia a sign because it doesn't have the copyright like there is a verse of the quran says fayette as abu where are you going and this is not by itself you cannot say this is a miraculous word of god because it's not sufficient it must be minimum three verses in order to have a
copyright this divine mathematical structure is embedded in it of course you may a problem with mathematics some of you will hear mathematics oh my god God is above mathematics and not no mathematics God is a great literary person poetry great but mathematics oh my gosh is Haram cannot that's an interesting take by the way about the three verses of the hence the challenges for the three absolutely I never I've never come across that before that's the minimum chapter illegally it says three verse not true therefore up to therefore in traverse
there will be such a sign in it miraculous sign that it will be he say this cannot be made by human but one or two verse will be able to do by human or randomly people can come up with it you can find many short verses in the Quran goodness sake even mo Jade was talking those words you cannot say this word of god by alone therefore it needs to be minimum until be copyrighted by God now therefore when you go back to that verse it is about miracles for example Moses miracle part of the Red Sea for us it is
not miracle it is a narration of Morocco it's not an all extraordinary event that we are witnessing therefore it is not a sign what is only required is Sun therefore why should I believe why should I believe therefore Moses the dope people in that time they watch it and later it is forgotten or it disappeared became NASA and God says if some mirror that is forgotten or the time passed it was time limited God will bring another miracle sign extraordinary evidence to prove that this is his word and the
