Summary: Auzubillahiminashaitanirajeem.<br> <br> Bismillahirahmanirahim.<br> <br> The last thing that I want to share with you is this is again the Introduction, the last part of my introduction. Is that when we read the Quran, or we try to understand the Quran, there is something that I want you to de-constructed in your mind, de-programmed, get them out of your system. The first of those things is, this, the Book, for knowledgeable people. This is the Book for people that have a lot of knowledge, that are well verse thing in religion that are scholars, or imams, or speakers, or khatibs or you named it, that's who this book is for. I want you to get out of this is from your mind,and when you read the Quran, you are thinking, this book, this book is a very academic kind of exercise or so religious spiritual text. I didn't want you to think what like that first, you know what I want you think about it like?<br> <br> You know when you have real problem, a lot of us have problem, we have family problems, we have marriage problems, we have problems with our in-laws, but you said its normal right.(laughs) Some of you have problems with your kids, some kids have problem with their parents, friends have problems with each other, some of you have problems at work, some of you have problems in business, we have all kinds of problems, and when people have really bad problems, do you know what they do? They go talk to a friend. "Man, can I talk to you? Cause his is really bothering me." You call a friend and you are on the phone with them almost an hour. Talking about your problems, and hopefully people you talk to about your problem are in your family but for most of us, the problems is the family and got to find somebody else (laughs). Right?. So, and this gives birth to a really gigantic scam industry even though there is some very legimate psychology out there, they call you to charge over 350 dollars in an hour and say, "Tell me how you feel..", "Tell me about your problem..", and you talk about your problem for an hour and at the end of it, they will say, "Do you feel better?", (laughs). See? "You need to tell me something","No, my way is getting you to feel better is to talk about your problem". But you know when we talk a lot about our problems, they give a counsel, they give us therapy, they give us advices, that is what the Quran supposed used to be. When you are having problems, and all of us do have problems, The Quran are supposed to be Allah giving you and me very relevant advices for my life and your life. Its personal relationship. Its not an academic relationship. Its not superficial kind of relationship. First and foremost, it is personal relationship. And when Allah giving us instruction, even when He telling stories about the past, even when He is telling the stories of the past, you are not supposed to think about the past. What are you thinking about? Yourself. I give you one example about that and I go on, I give you scary example about that. Not surely Muslim thinking about himself, when he is listening to the Quran, The Quran says, or teaches us, that even the Kafeer, the one who hates the messages of the Quran, the one who disbelieve the message of the Quran, when they listen to the Quran even they should be thinking about the past, they should be thinking about themselves.<br> <br> How would that i get this from? I told you two surahs that mentioned a lot of stories about previous prophet. Which two surahs that I have highlighted it? Hud and Syuaraa? 11 and 26. In Suratul - Hud, it once again, very interesting phenomena, this some brothers this morning, and literally this evening in iftar, Allah decided to destroy the nation of Lut. You know that? Allah decided to destroy the nation of Lut. You know how He decided to destroy them? "Iza ja amru na ja an na a li ya ha a sa fi la ha". "When Our decision came, We decided to make their high points to their low points". You know what that means?
