The questioner:
With Allah's blessing, we begin this episode, brothers and sisters, with a question that reached the program from one of our brothers, Muhammad from al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, may the best of prayers and the most perfect of peace be upon its resident, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). He asks about the saying of Allah the Mighty and Majestic:[Ash-Shu'ara 26:192-194] [Ash-Shu'ara 26:194] He asks, may Allah bless you, about this verse?
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. This man is asking about the chain of transmission of the Qur'an.
The presenter:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
And the chain of transmission of the Qur'an is from Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), from Jibril, the Trustworthy Spirit, from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
The Shaykh:
Jibril from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, and he conveyed it to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) conveyed it to his Ummah. Yes.
The questioner:
He also completes the verse, saying, of course,[Ash-Shu'ara 26:195-197] He teaches it, He teaches it [Ash-Shu'ara 26:197-198] the non-Arabs, the non-Arabs [Ash-Shu'ara 26:198-199] He asks about the intended meaning of the verse.
The Shaykh:
Yes, the intended meaning of the verse is clear: the Qur'an was revealed by Allah in a clear Arabic language, the most eloquent of the Arabs' languages, the language of Quraysh, the most eloquent of the Arabs' languages, by which the Qur'an was revealed. Some verses may be in the language of others, but generally, it is in the language of Quraysh, which is the language of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) received it from Jibril, the Trustworthy Spirit, and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) conveyed it to his Ummah. It has been received from generation to generation until the Hour stands, and it is preserved from addition, subtraction, and alteration. This is because Allah has undertaken to preserve it[Al-Hijr 15:9] As for the previous books, the Torah and the Gospel, Allah entrusted their scholars with their preservation. They did not preserve them as they should have, and distortion and alteration crept into them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

He asks about the saying of Allah the Mighty and Majestic:
(192) And indeed, the Qur'an is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds. (193) The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down (194) Upon
وَإِنَّهُ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ نَزَلَ بِهِ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ عَلَىٰyour heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners -
قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُنذِرِينَThe Shaykh:

The questioner:
He also completes the verse, saying, of course,
(195) In a clear Arabic language. (196) And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples. (197) And has it not been a sign to them that
بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِيٍّ مُّبِينٍ وَإِنَّهُ لَفِي زُبُرِ الْأَوَّلِينَ أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ آيَةً أَنit is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel? (198) And even if We had revealed it to one
يَعْلَمَهُ عُلَمَاءُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَاهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِthe foreigners (199) And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it.
الْأَعْجَمِينَ فَقَرَأَهُ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا بِهِ مُؤْمِنِينَThe Shaykh:
Yes, the intended meaning of the verse is clear: the Qur'an was revealed by Allah in a clear Arabic language, the most eloquent of the Arabs' languages, the language of Quraysh, the most eloquent of the Arabs' languages, by which the Qur'an was revealed.

Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian.
