You must have heard,
a majority of Muslims with a Wahhabi and Ahle Hadith mindset
do not believe the Prophet (s) is omnipresent and all-seeing.
They say the Prophet (s) passed and everything has ended.
Now, God says,
‘inna nahnu nazalna alzikra wa inna lahu lahafizoon'
'Indeed, we have descended the Qur’an and we shall protect it’.
And where has the Qur’an been descended?
Unto the blessed spiritual heart of the Prophet (s).
If the Prophet (s) has passed then it means there is no more Qur’an, so why does it need to be protected now?
How Did God Protect The Qur’an?
‘Inna nahnu nazalna alzikra'
'Indeed we have descended the Qur'an…’
‘wa inna lahu lahafizoon'
'and its protection is also our responsibility’.
This is what this verse means.
Now, where did God send the Qur’an?
Into the spiritual heart of the Prophet (s).
God is talking about the protection of that spiritual heart.
Now, there are a few important points here, if you allow me…
If someone is sane of mind, they will understand this
and if they are not, they simply won't.
You must have heard,
a majority of Muslims with a Wahhabi and Ahle Hadith mindset
do not believe the Prophet (s) is omnipresent and all-seeing.

‘inna nahnu nazalna alzikra wa inna lahu lahafizoon'

And where has the Qur’an been descended?
Unto the blessed spiritual heart of the Prophet (s).
If the Prophet (s) has passed then it means there is no more Qur’an, so why does it need to be protected now?
If the Prophet (s) has left
then the Qur’an would have also left.
Therefore, for the purpose of benefitting from that particular Qur’an,
the spiritual heart of the Prophet (s) shall remain accessible for the Ummah until the Day of Judgement.
Ever since the Qur'an has been printed on paper,
we have been deceived since then
because we thought this is the original Qur’an.
I shall ask you something
and you must make sure that your response is not hypocritical.
Respond to me like a momin
so that this point is cleared for you and others.
God says,
'Inna nahnu nazalna alzikra wa inna lahu lahafizoon'
'I have descended the Qur'an and I shall guard it'.
Should you still be worried about the protection of the Qur'an after this verse?
Should you fret?
The Prophet (s) never commanded for the Qur'an to be compiled as a book.
Eventually, when there was a war,
Umar bin Khattab said to Abu Bakr Siddiq,
'Many hafizs have been martyred.
Let us compile the Qur'an into a book so that we do not lose it’.
Did Umar bin Khattab have faith in this verse of the Qur'an?
Now, there is a second question.
Those who know how to read and write will be able to read the Qur’an, fair enough,
so does that mean the one who has not gone to school and does not know how to read or write shall remain misguided?
Education has only recently become common,
if you were to go 50 or 60 years into the past,
then you will come to find that perhaps in your own family,
your grandfather or your grandmother did not go to a school.
My grandfather didn’t go to a school nor did my grandmother.
What shall happen for them now? Forget the Qur’an, they couldn’t read anything.
This is the question we pose before the clergymen of the religion.
Furthermore, the Qur’an itself was descended upon one who did not know how to read or write.
The one who did not go to any school.
People say great things, that education is light, education is this and education is that.
And if you look at it with the eye of certainty,
you shall come to know that those who were educated have damaged the world so much more
than the illiterate who never went to school.
So which type of knowledge is known as luminance?
Actually, I have read in my places
that those who obtained vast material knowledge,
became great scientists.
The more educated people become,
the more they lost faith in God.
A majority of the greatest scientists of the past
were those that did not believe in God.
Now, the Prophet (s) did not go to a school.
Did he?
The Prophet (s) did not go to a school,
however, the Prophet (s) did say one thing,
'I am the city of knowledge'.
Now, we have schools of knowledge
and we have universities of knowledge,
however, the Prophet (s) did not refer to a school or university,
rather, he said, 'I am the city of knowledge'.
The question is that if the Prophet (s) did not go to any school, yet was the city of knowledge
then is this not a tradition of the Prophet (s)
to possess knowledge despite never going to a school?
This is a Sunnah of the Prophet (s).
Is this not a Sunnah?
Never go to a school and yet…
What damage would have been incurred had the Qur'an not been compiled into a book?
The clergymen believe it would have been devastating,
people would have forgotten the Qur’an.
Now the question is,
if the Qur’an was not compiled
and no one had the Qur’an
and it would have been a great loss
but why are you concerned about it and not God and the Prophet (s)?
If it was such an important task,
why didn’t the Messenger of God immediately command its compilation?
Neither God commanded it to be written nor the Messenger of God (s) commanded for it to be compiled.
So, God said,
'We have descended the Qur'an and we shall guard it'.
How is it being guarded?
The protection comes from the blessed spiritual heart of the Prophet (s)
and the spiritual heart of the Prophet (s) is connected to the spiritual heart of Maula Ali.
And then, this knowledge of the Esoteric Qur’an
is being rendered to all the saints and fakirs through the spiritual heart of Maula Ali.
This is how the Qur’an is protected and dispensed.
Now, hear this.
The Qur’an is available in the form of a book
but despite this, the common Muslim doesn’t read it.
They tie it in a silk cloth and place it in a high place.
They don’t read it.
The special ones
who are seeking the path will actually read the Qur’an
and then when they read the Qur’an,
they become worried because they don’t understand it.
So even if the Qur’an had not been compiled into a book,
the common person wouldn’t have been reading it anyway.
And the special ones
would be searching,
but where would they go in their search?
Then they would go to the saints and the saints would tell them,
‘The one whose lower self is impure is not worthy of reading the Qur’an,
you must first purify your lower self’.
Then his lower self would be purified
and the spiritual guide
would implant the seed of God’s name into his spiritual heart
and the branches of the Qur’an would sprout from the seed of God’s name in your spiritual heart.
Many great things that are a part of the Muslim creed today
are things that qualify to be recognised as sacrilege to Islam and blasphemy against God and the Prophet (s).
For example, God has said in this verse,
'I have descended the Qur'an and I shall guard it',
so once God has said he shall guard it,
why do you not have faith in this divine decree?
And then, it seems to me
that this theory they have fabricated in the ahadith
that they compiled the Qur’an because too many hafizes had been martyred,
this seems like utter nonsense and lies to me.
How so?
We cannot rely on the memory of any hafiz.
Because they forget.
Is there any maulana
who has conducted Taraweeh every year without revision?
So then it’s a lie, isn’t it? It is not humanly possible.
What you have done is cramming,
the Qur’an has not been preserved in your chest, your heart.
This is what it means for the Qur’an to be protected.
The blessed spiritual heart of the Prophet (s)
the Prophet’s esoteric being is present,
and through spirituality and Sufism,
we purify our spiritual heart
and established a spiritual connection with the Prophet (s)
due to which, our spiritual heart is connected to the spiritual heart of the Prophet (s) via a cord of divine light.
Just as there is a cord that connected the mother to the baby which renders the child nourishment,
similarly, there is a divine cord that attaches the ummah to its prophet
when one establishes a spiritual connection with the prophet.
The task of the spiritual guide is
to connect a divine cord between your spiritual heart and the spiritual heart of the Prophet (s).
Following this, your recitation of Darood directly enters the Prophet’s heart from your heart.
For those who do not have this connection, their Darood is carried by the archangels.
But if you have a connection,
whatever is in your heart will enter the Prophet’s heart.
The recitation of Darood goes there directly.
