What is the Kitaab un Mubeen?
Mohammad Noor Alam asks:
Please give the esoteric explanation of Koran 5:15
You all must know that when a parcel arrives
like a UPS parcel or DHL parcel arrives
and when you receive it, they ask you to sign
to acknowledge that you have received it.
Don't they?
So you can't claim that the package did not arrive.
They take your signature.
Now, God's system is that once he grants something
he acknowledges it himself
by saying, 'I sent it and it was delivered.'
And when he wants to say this, he uses the word 'qad'.
'Qad Ja'akum -
Verily,
it has reached you.'
'Qad Ja'akum -
Verily!
It has reached you.'
You have received it.
'Min Allahi noor (the divine energy from God)'
You understand?
The next word is 'and'
The word we use in Urdu to join two sentences or words together is 'aur'.
In my hand, I have the chalk 'aur' pen both.
Chalk 'aur' pen.
Two things.
In Arabic, they use the word 'wa' instead of 'aur'.
In English, it's A-N-D
I have a piece of chalk and a pen.
'And'
is used to join two things.
Why am I telling you this?
It is because the Wahhabis and Deobandis say that 'the divine energy from God' is 'the Kitaab un Mubeen'.
Why am I emphasising the 'and' here?
That's why I wrote it out like this, three sentences.
So you can understand what the first sentence means
'Verily! It has reached you...'
'The divine energy from God has been delivered.'
Sealed and signed.
'Divine energy from God
and the Kitaab un Mubeen.'
So what has God sent in the parcel?
Divine energy
and a book.
What has been sent? [Audience repeats].
Where is it?
These two things have been sent but where are they?
The Koran states that the Koran was revealed upon Prophet Mohammad's (PBUH) heart by Gabriel.
The divine energy and book came together
and while the Koran was in the Prophet's heart, where did the divine energy go?
The divine energy also entered the Prophet's heart.
How can someone say Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) is not all divine energy?
They will become disbelievers. What do you think?
Do you agree?
'Verily! It has been delivered, the divine energy from God and the Kitaab un Mubeen.'
Divine energy and the book.
Both.
In the heart of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).
Now, when the Holy Koran was compiled
then the verses of the 'Kitaab un Mubeen' were collected
but where is the divine energy?
Right?
Divine energy was delivered with the book.
Until you have the divine energy along with the book, you will not obtain any benevolence from the book.
'God misguides many and guides many.' - Koran 2:26
It means that God grants guidance to those who read the Koran when they possess divine energy in their hearts and misguides those who don't.
The book is in the Prophet's heart as well as the divine energy.
In order to obtain both these things, you must establish a connection with Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).
It will not happen without it.
'Gain access to Prophet Mohammad for he is the embodiment of the religion. If you fail to do so, all your deeds will go to waste.' - Allama Iqbal
That's the explanation.
What is Kitaab un Mubeen?
This is 'Mubeen'
Alright?
It is the root word for many other words
such as 'bayan' (speech).
Although, it is an Arabic word we use it in Urdu as well: Aap bayan fermayen
'Bayan' also comes from [Mubeen].
'Baiyanat'
'Bayyan'
As we say 'bayyan saboot' (solid evidence).
So what does it actually mean?
There is a hypothetical meaning
and it also has a metaphorical meaning.
You understand?
When this word is explained in literature, it will mean 'lucid'
meaning 'explicit'.
What would it be? [Audience repeats].
Yes.
A simpler translation would be 'easy to understand'
and even better than that would be
'fool-proof easy'.
What? [Audience repeats].
Something incredibly easy to understand.
Now, God said that the entire Koran is Kitaab un Mubeen
in spite of that, the clerics declared some of the Koranic verses to carry many meanings.
It is said that [the Koran] is Kitaab un Mubeen.
So what is the issue?
There are some things
which perhaps one person knows
but another person doesn't know.
Let's take cricket for example.
I play cricket, I know cricket.
You play football so you don't know about cricket.
So now, this is actually between God and his Messenger.
What?
That this is the Kitaab un Mubeen and everything in it is crystal clear.
According to the understanding of Prophet Mohammad and God, everything is crystal clear.
The understanding of human beings is not of that level.
Human beings think that only humans have eyes, a nose, ears, feet, etc. and God does not have such features
and that's where they are wrong.
So the various Koranic verses in which God states things such as, 'This is God's hand'
or whenever God has mentioned any other physical feature
the clerics said that God does not have hands and feet, these are just metaphors God has used.
They say these are not the crystal clear verses
and that it means something else.
But the ill-fated cleric forgets
that it is written in Hadith-e-Qudsi
'I created Adam in my own image.'
Now, God created Adam in his own image
so wouldn't the physical features of Adam match those of God?
His features come from God. Your features are not your own, they are God's.
But people deny this, they believe God is nothing but light; smoky light
and this is why they reject other truths.
Although, since the entire Koran is Kitaab un Mubeen, the entire Koran is clear.
If God says 'this is my hand' then it is God's hand.
You shouldn't think it means anything else.
But what do the clerics do? Wherever there is mention of disbelievers and sects, they say it is about the Christians.
Don't think there aren't any disbelievers [amongst Muslims].
Wherever God has mentioned his hand, they say that it is just a metaphor.
God has even addressed Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in various places and said
'O' Messenger of God, it was not your hand that picked up the sand and threw it, it was mine.' - Koran 8:17
They were betrayed by their assumptions.
The best thing is for your understanding of the Koran to be rectified
and for that, you must gain access to Prophet Mohammad (PBUH)
so that he can elevate your the level of your spiritual intelligence.
Only those are successful in this who reach the Prophet.
