[Mansur] You want to become a Muslim?
[Man] Yes!
[Mansur] Are you convinced that there is only one God?
[Man] I believe.
[Mansur] And you believe that only one God is worthy of worship
[Mansur] and no one else is worthy of worship?
[Man] Yes, I believe.
[Curious gentleman] Sorry, I just want to understand.
[Curious gentleman] I'm being selfish right now
[Curious gentleman] cause I'm trying to understand.
[Mansur] Yeah, go ahead.
[Curious gentleman] Okay, so why would the Qur'ān now jump from the fluids
[Curious gentleman] and then jump to the supposed backbone and ribs,
[Curious gentleman] which is where the womb is supposed to be?
[Curious gentleman] Why is it saying what he was created from
[Curious gentleman] rather than where he was created?
[Curious gentleman] Because your second statement is basically saying
[Curious gentleman] it's saying where he was created from
[Curious gentleman] rather than what he was created from.
[Mansur] The answer is given in the first verse,
[Curious gentleman] It says here,
[Mansur] Yeah.
[Curious gentleman] And it says,
[Mansur] That's the answer given, full stop.
[Curious gentleman] But now it's got into where, so—
[Mansur] No, no! This isn't—
[Mansur] It's a different thing.
[Mansur] The question first,
[Mansur] The answer is given in the next āyah immediately.
[Mansur]
[Mansur] That's it.
[Curious gentleman] A fluid that is self emitting?
[Mansur] Yeah.
[Mansur] Now, what's so interesting about it?
[Mansur] Because we know for sure—
[Muslim] This one wants to take shahada, brother.
[Mansur] Come.
[Mansur] You want to become a Muslim?
[Man] Yes!
[Mansur] Are you convinced that there is only one God?
[Man] I believe.
[Mansur] And you believe that only one God is worthy of worship
[Mansur] and no one else is worthy of worship?
[Man] Yes, I believe.
[Mansur] And you believe in Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), the Prophet
[Mansur] he's the prophet and messenger of God?
[Man] Yes, I believe.
[Mansur] You believe—what were you previous belief?
[Mansur] Did you believe in anything?
[Man] I was an atheist, but I'm seeking a pathway
[Man] that will lead, in my words, to the Creator.
[Mansur] So you want to testify—
[Man] Yes.
[Mansur] —that there is no God worthy of worship
[Mansur] except the one and only God, Allah.
[Mansur] And you want to testify that
[Mansur] Prophet Muhammad is his messenger?
[Man] Yes!
[Mansur] Right, so please repeat with him.
[Mansur] He will tell you.
[Muslim in background] Yeah, you do it, inshā'Allāh.
[Mansur] Okay.
[Mansur] So what you're going to say is exactly what you said.
[Mansur] You're going to say this in Arabic, but first in English.
[Man] Okay.
[Together] That I testify that there is no one worthy of worship except Allah alone.
[Together] And I also bear and testify that Muhammad
[Together] is His servant and His Messenger.
[Together] أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأشهد أن محمدا عبده ورسوله
[Mansur] Alhamdulillāh.
[Crowd] Allāhu Akbar!!
[Muslim] Go down on your face and pray as Moses, as Muhammad, as Jesus,
[Muslim] and say, “May Allāh please continue guiding me.”
[New Muslim] Yes!
[Mansur] Take to one side brother and then
[Mansur] we will talk later inshā'Allāh, okay?
[Mansur] All the best.
[Mansur] So let's return to your question, yeah?
[Mansur] When Allah address,
[Mansur] The answer was given immediately.
[Mansur]
[Mansur] What's so interesting is this:
[Mansur] Normally the way things are described, it should be
[Mansur] مَّآءًمَدْفُقٌ
[Mansur] The water that is, you know, emitted.
[Mansur] But here it is using an active participant,
[Mansur] which is a form called fa'il: دَافِقٍۢ
[Mansur] People didn't understand or know this before
[Mansur] that the water is self emitting, self propel.
[Mansur] We know this today.
[Mansur] So Allāh is drawing our attention to this phenomenon,
[Mansur] where He's creating from, that's all.
