Pratique du Shadowing: Islam Is Easy (Stop Feeling Guilty) | Surah Al-Muzzammil | Nouman Ali Khan - Apprendre l'anglais à l'oral avec la vidéo

Allah made this religion travel almost every culture on earth.

Every culture on earth.

And it's incredible that wherever Islam traveled, the Quran traveled with it.

The French read the French translation of the Bible.

The British read the King James translations of the Bible.

Right?

The Italians have an Italian translation of the Bible.

The Spanish have a Spanish translation of the Bible.

The Indonesian Muslims, the Bangladeshi Muslims, the Senegalese Muslims, the Moroccan Muslims,

the Chinese Muslims, the Australian Muslims.

What are they reading?

The Turkish Muslims, the Albanian Muslims.

What are they reading?

The Arabic Quran.

The history of Islam is proof that Allah made this Quran easy in a way

that every culture on earth was able to not only learn but teach their children to this day. To this day.

It's one of the most amazing qualities of the Quran.

That it can be learned by anybody.

Anybody.

And at any age.

You're watching just a short clip from our longer deeper look of Surah Al Muzzammil.

This full series is now being released exclusively on Bayina TV, featuring a very deep dive into the Surah's key themes,

verse by verse breakdowns and lessons, which you can now watch on demand via your mobile or on the web,

or even cast to your living room TV now and watch with your family.

We're done with the technical part.

Now we get to the juicy part.

Oof.

وَاللَّهُ يُقَدِّرُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارُ And Allah decrees and calculates the night and the day.

قَدْر also means to set a limit.

قَدْر comes from قِدْر, which is a giant cauldron or a pot that contains something.

Allah creates the containings of the night and the day.

Allah creates the calculations of the nights and the days.

Allah puts limits on the nights and the days.

قَدْرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ He put limits on his rizq.

He put limits on his rizq.

So Allah puts a limit on the night and the day Beautiful phrase Why?

Because now Allah is saying Some nights are long and some nights are short Is that true?

Winter nights, very long Summer nights, very short And in Europe, there are places that don't even have a night

I'm getting really short

Short circuit But there's something else going on here

The night of the Prophet And the night of the believer Are they the same?

No The day of the Prophet And the day of the believer Are they the same?

Allah mentioned Taifatun min al-lazeena ma'ak A group Each member of the group Has a different day

And a different night Yes or no?

That is also In a very holistic way Allah didn't just say

That he has made calculation Of the night and the day And decreed the night and the day

He's also decreed everything That goes on With each individual in the night And with each individual in The day

And so some people are able to pray more sometimes

And less sometimes Or not pray at all

And that's part of the decree of Allah Some people have

a night shift at a hospital They're a nurse in the emergency

And they have a night They can't pray at the hajjad They're stopping somebody from bleeding to death They can't pray

There's somebody that's busy

There's somebody that's studying for an exam Until 3am Because they have an exam at 7am

They're not going to pray at the hajjad Or maybe that's the only time they'll pray at the hajjad

But the ayah is actually now It's talking about Allah

But by talking about Allah It's actually talking about How much variation Allah has created In the lives of people

And how different their days and their nights are

How different their burdens are How different their capabilities are How different their opportunities are

Some people have more free time Some people have no free

time Some people are busy Some people are not Some people

have a job Some people are unemployed Some people are healthy Some people are sick Variety

But all of that is included Kind of packaged in In Allah decrees the night

and the day And that's why you see a logical progression from here

Allah said something even more beautiful After introducing us to this concept Allah then says

عَلِمَ أَلَّنْ تُحْصُوهُ And Allah knew That you are not going to be able to count it exactly Ya Allah,

you told us Half, a third, two thirds Little less, little more And at the end of all of

that you said I already knew That you do not know how to count this

Exactly The word تحسوه comes from إحساء إحساء comes from حسات

حسات are pebbles When the Arabs had a hard time counting something

Then they used pebbles And they put them in a jar Okay, one, two, three, four So now it's an exact count

The modern version of a mihsat Or a counter Is if you see

People don't use cash anymore And if you're in the cash business Then you're shady But anyway

When you go to the bank And you're depositing a huge mound of cash They have that cash machine Right?

That's the mihsat now That's the tool that counts exactly

Allah says By using the word أَلَّن تُحْصُهُ You're not going to be able to count the times exactly.

Also Allah is saying you're not going to be, Ibn Ashur takes another route in this.

He says this is actually isti'ara, meaning the amount of sajda, the amount of tasbih, the amount of dua.

You're never going to be able to keep track of how much you did and how much you didn't do.

Not just the duration of night, but how much zikr you did and how much is it worth.

You can't calculate any of that.

That's beyond your ability.

But then ihsa also got used in the meaning of something else.

It started getting used in the meaning of ability.

Which is even more interesting.

Allah is now talking to the rest of the Muslims.

Look at this beauty.

Allah started with the Prophet and a special group that is with him.

Ta'ifatun minal-lazeena ma'ak.

But now he's talking to everybody else.

So there's a special group that gets up for qiyam

and they once or twice they miss it or maybe half the time they're there, something.

But then there's the rest of the larger Muslim population that isn't exactly...

I mean, they're struggling with Fajr.

They're struggling with Asr.

Right?

Now Allah turns to them and says, I knew that the rest of you weren't going to be able to keep up with this.

You weren't going to be...

You're not capable of doing all of this.

100

عَلِمَا مَأَلَّن تُحْصُهُ And after all this emphasis on this ibadah, there's kind of a guilt that settles in, Ya Allah, you emphasize qiyamun layl so much,

101

and I've lived so much of my life, and I've only done qiyamun nahar.

102

Right?

103

I haven't done anything.

104

I've done niyamun layl, not qiyamun layl.

105

Right?

106

I've been sleeping at night I don't do qiyamun layl I feel really guilty Allah says I knew

107

Most of you can't do it فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ

108

So he accepted He turned back to you lovingly Now tawbah usually means repentance

109

But tawbah means something else too When Allah turns back to you with mercy

110

So here actually it means When Allah turns back to you with mercy Like Allah knew you couldn't do it

111

So Allah turned to you Mercifully And made things easier for you

112

So the tawbah here is Allah turns to Now Allah is turning to the one Who is not as good

113

At worshipping him

114

Because Allah already mentioned people

115

that are very good At worshipping him in the middle of the night They give up their sleep

116

and they get up

117

and they pray Now Allah is talking to people Starting with I know you're not very good at this A'li ma'lantuhsoohu

118

And they're already The moment Allah says I knew you're not capable We're like I'm a loser

119

Allah says fataba alaykum but he turned towards you.

120

He mercifully turned towards you.

121

He accepts your shortcoming.

122

It's okay.

123

You don't have to be guilty about it.

124

فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ And then he says, فَقْرَؤُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ Just read whatever's easy for you from the Qur'an.

125

Whatever's easy from the Qur'an.

126

Now one interpretation of that, according to some of us, this is for the day five prayers.

127

That the five prayers are I will disagree with that interpretation

128

Because that's coming later on in the ayah If they're coming together They mean two different things

129

But I will tell you what this is suggesting It's suggesting those of you

130

that You're like half the night A third of the night Two thirds of the night I can't even imagine

131

Allah says okay I know you couldn't do it But I encourage you to start somewhere

132

And he's still It's already clear that it's not mandatory

133

So the ayah has already made With the words طائفة من الذين معك It's already clear

134

That none of this is mandatory

135

But now Allah is giving spiritual encouragement Remember the previous ayah said فَمَنْ شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا

136

And when you take a journey You have to take one step

137

So Allah says Okay here Let me help you take one step What's that one step?

138

Just recite مَا تَيَسَّرَ Whatever comes easy From the Qur'an من القرآن

139

I don't know Allah I know That's it Okay Just recite that That's easy for you You can do that Okay

140

Then just recite that

141

And so Allah has now Opened the door For people

142

that are Spiritually way behind

143

And first he started By telling them Look I know you're behind And right now You couldn't get to those numbers

144

You know You can't get to a half, a third, two thirds you're not there

145

but that's okay I accept your tawbah I'm turning to you anyway lovingly

146

but I encourage you to read and then instead of setting a number what's the standard? whatever is?

147

easy

148

but now we have to spend a little bit of time

149

talking about ease I'm going to use the exercise analogy again

150

okay I want you to run as long as it's easy for you

151

How do you know How much you have to run

152

The moment you start running out of

153

Breath Okay so everyday I just want you to run As long as it's easy

154

Isn't it guaranteed That after a week You're going to run longer Isn't it So it became easier to run longer

155

Because the standard was Do so much that is

156

Easy The only way you will know what is easy Is the moment you hit hard

157

That's the only way to know

158

Right So by saying do whatever is easy for you

159

It's as if Allah said Yes he's going easy on you

160

But he also wants you to grow So he said put yourself through it

161

And the moment you start having difficulty The moment you start yawning

162

Or your legs start giving And you just feel tired

163

Okay just get back and finish the raqa Finish the prayer It's okay

164

That's not for you Or you got too sleepy Or you just thought Okay

165

Next day Next day Next day What's gonna happen naturally?

166

It's gonna increase naturally Like Allah has given us A development program In the words مَا تَيَسَّرَ

167

And your stamina will build naturally And the thing is Not everybody's stamina Builds the same way Right?

168

And not everybody has the same capacity And now you're like

169

You know I prayed yesterday Let me give you the workout analogy again

170

Sometimes you're doing exercise And you have to leave

171

Like you got a call from work

172

Or you got a call You were 70% done with your exercise And you had to leave What do you feel?

173

You feel like Oh I needed to finish that Forget even psychologically Even physically your body feels like something's missing Why?

174

Because you didn't get to your limit You didn't go at the edge of what's easy Right?

175

If you're used to running for 30 minutes on a treadmill

176

And you got a work call And you have to get off the treadmill in 20 minutes Something's off

177

Something feels off So what's going to happen when you get in the habit of praying?

178

And then you used to do shorter

179

And you started doing a little longer Then a little longer Then a little longer Now it's like

180

I've been praying قُلْهُوا اللَّهُ وَحَدٍ وَالْعَصَرٍ For like two weeks now

181

I feel Something's missing I need to do more I think

182

I need to Memorize some more surahs I need to go from Like You know Surah Al-Asr To maybe

183

If I had to do I had to do

184

And after a couple of days Maybe I need to go

185

Maybe I should push myself Let me try I don't know Maybe I can do Surah Al-Mulk

186

Maybe from Mulk Maybe I'll end up in I don't know Dukhan Yasin Yasin Can I do Yasin Let's see.

187

Yasin to Kahf.

188

Kahf to Baqarah.

189

I mean, if you think about Baqarah right now, you're crazy.

190

Right now it's just Ikhlas and Asr.

191

But, Allah didn't say get to Baqarah.

192

Allah just said, Faqra'u Ma'tayasara bin al-Qur'an.

193

It's so amazing.

194

Just take a little step.

195

Take a little step.

196

But then there's a new problem.

197

Ya Allah, okay fine, start from somewhere.

198

There's a new problem.

199

The new problem is, Ya Allah, I have a night job.

200

Ya Allah, I have such an exhausting job during the day that by the time I get home

201

and I even look at the pillow, I go into a coma.

202

I barely wake up for fajr.

203

Even this faqra'u ma tayassara min al-Qur'an is too much for me.

204

I can't do it.

205

Even this is too much.

206

Right?

207

Even the act of getting up at 3am or 2am Even that's too much for me.

208

I have too many responsibilities through the day and too much going on that physically I'm just not able to get up.

209

What do I do?

210

Right?

211

Allah says So Allah says, now let me just show you.

212

So, فَقْرَءُ مَاتَ يَسْرَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنَ Fine.

213

He knew that some of you are going to be sick

214

Some of you are going to be physically incapable

215

Some of you are not strong enough to even wake up

216

Some of you are on medication That's drowsy medication

217

And knocks you out for 8 hours And you have to take the medication Does that happen?

218

There are people that have to take medication There are people that have to take medication That lowers their blood pressure

219

There are people that have to take medication That just completely knocks them out

220

There are people that need A certain amount of sleep medically They can't do it

221

There are people that have a physical disability They can't get up

222

They can't pray They have severe back injury They have something or the other

223

Allah knew that there are some people Who can't even do what I just said

224

So amazing Now they're supposed to feel bad, right?

225

Because first we were feeling bad that we didn't make it to the half or two thirds or one third.

226

Allah said, no, no, don't feel bad.

227

Just do whatever you can.

228

So long as it's easy for you.

229

Then a group among us starts feeling even worse.

230

I can't even do that because I'm sick.

231

But he's going to mention three groups.

232

عَلِمَ أَنْسَ يَكُونُ مِنْكُ مَرْضًا

233

وَآخَرُونَ يَضْرِبُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَبْتَغُونَ مِنْ فَضِّ اللَّهِ There's another group that is going around traveling all over the place.

234

يَضْرِبُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ means striking in the land meaning instead of saying yusafirun

235

or yarhalun yadribuna fil ard is isti'ara it's for darb darb actually means to strike

236

so meaning they walk so far their feet feel like

237

like they're yadribuna fil ard

238

they go long distances exhaust themselves to make the to do

239

the work to work on the farm to work in the

240

well to work wherever you know they have long commutes they're stuck in traffic all day they're These people.

241

And they're pursuing the favor of Allah.

242

يَبْتَغُونَ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ And what does يَبْتَغُونَ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ mean?

243

They pursue the favor of Allah.

244

What is the favor of Allah?

245

The immediate meaning is رِزْق.

246

The immediate meaning is رِزْق.

247

They're trying to make a living.

248

There's somebody driving an Uber all night and then working in a store all day.

249

There are people like that, aren't there?

250

How are they going to ever...

251

They barely get any sleep.

252

There are people that have two jobs three jobs they can't they can't survive

253

if they don't do that they barely get any sleep

254

they don't have the luxury of going to sleep

255

and then waking up in the middle of the night

256

and then they can't do it there are people

257

that have such exhausting jobs 16 hour jobs 18 you know 17 hour jobs

258

or they have their their drive to work is two hours

259

and then the job

260

and the drive back is two hours they physically can't do

261

it they're not able to do it that's a lot of people isn't it

262

that's a lot of people now Allah is describing all the people who unfortunately couldn't do Qiyamun Layl

263

let me add a little bit to the

264

so you understand something beautiful about the fadl of Allah I said means rizq like Allah says it in Surah Al-Jum'ah

265

وَابْتَغُوا مِن فَضْدِ اللَّهِ وَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِرًا But the fadl of Allah has another dimension When a believer does business, makes a living

266

Then the believer is an honest believer

267

The believer is an honest salesperson The believer is an honest

268

doctor The believer is an honest construction engineer The believer is an honest government employee

269

So there's one less corrupt person in the industry There's one less corrupt business person There's one less corrupt sales person

270

And because you're doing things You're not acting in a way that's corrupt The business itself has Allah's blessing in it

271

Has the fadal of Allah in it

272

And that blessing isn't just limited to you It actually spreads You're creating a ripple effect by you doing right

273

Within Allah's pleasure in your workplace

274

You're actually generating more good

275

Just by being at work Because you are not part of the corruption You're part of the purification of the economy

276

Just by your existence in the economy This is also the fadl of Allah

277

And by you doing right You have actually now created Maybe you're a business owner

278

I particularly like the example of business owners

279

Because if they're doing something right They're doing the halal way of running a business

280

Then they have employees And they're doing right by their employees

281

And now they've created an opportunity For several families To earn a halal living

282

And all of that fadl Goes back to the one who created the business

283

So even them working all day At the restaurant And laboring and all of that

284

They're actually also getting the fadl of Allah Not just in the dunya sense

285

But also spiritually Allah has actually made this a spiritual exercise too

286

So the one who was sick lying in a hospital bed all day, can't even get up.

287

Feels like I can't do anything.

288

And the one who's working hard says, I'm just pursuing dunya.

289

I have no spiritual outlet because I'm always lost in the material.

290

I'm incapable.

291

And then Allah mentions the third group.

292

وَآخَرُونَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ And there are people who are at war.

293

They're fighting in the path of Allah.

294

They're at war.

295

And if they're at war, then maybe they're sustaining injuries.

296

Maybe they're standing guard duty all night.

297

Because somebody has to guard the camp.

298

Right?

299

Maybe they're fighting all day So they need as much rest as possible

300

Because they need their energy to recuperate For the battle the next day Maybe that's the case

301

So they can't pray So these are three different scenarios What does Allah say about all three of these scenarios?

302

He says You also read whatever is easy From it It's so beautiful That Allah did not restrict that To qiyam

303

The ayats before were about Qiyamun Layl.

304

Now Allah is saying, it can include Qiyam, but you know what?

305

While you're lying sick in bed, فقرأوا مات يسر من القرآن While you're traveling on your camel all the way in the desert,

306

going to this business meeting, فقرأوا مات يسر من القرآن When you're driving the Uber, فقرأوا مات يسر من القرآن When you're sitting in the store,

307

فقرأوا مات يسر من القرآن When you're walking from one class to another on campus,

308

فقرأوا مات يسر من القرآن When you're taking a lunch break between surgeries Faqra'u ma tayasra min al-Quran The Quran,

309

the spiritual engagement You're fighting in battle You're just taking a break And what do you do?

310

Faqra'u ma tayasra min al-Quran Allah says Because the point Remember the point wasn't the numbers?

311

Remember that?

312

And now what's the actual point?

313

Remembrance Remembrance

314

And so Allah made it even more easy At least do this

315

And even then not too much Whatever is easy for you

316

You'll also be walking from one class to another Saying قُلْ

317

هُوَ اللَّهُ وَحَدْ اللَّهُ الصَّبَدْ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُلْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدْ

318

Man I should probably learn more Quran Because this was a 20 minute walk

319

I mean I could keep repeating it But I also want to learn some more

320

You know what You're tayassar Remember I told you the ease will get

321

bigger and bigger and bigger

322

right so you'll just keep فَقْرَؤُمَةَ يَسَّرَ فَقْرَؤُمَةَ يَسَّرَ and so the Quran became a natural part of the believer's spirituality

323

whether they are capable of standing in the middle of the night or not

324

Allah mentioned groups that feel that they can't and Allah acknowledged them notice the opening of this ayah إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعْلَمُ

325

your Rabb knows your Rabb knows you're sick

326

Your Rabb knows you're a full time student

327

Your Rabb knows you have a night shift Your Rabb knows you have two jobs

328

Your Rabb knows you're taking care of four kids You barely get any sleep

329

Your Rabb knows you're taking care of a baby You can't pray Your Rabb knows, your Rabb knows, your Rabb knows And then to all of you he says

330

فَقْرَأُ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ Just read whatever you can Have Quran in your life Just have Quran in your life

331

This ayah is This ayah actually raises another question But I don't even know how to read the Quran What about me?

332

I'm French I don't know how to read the Quran I'm German I don't know how to read the Quran

333

My parents never taught me I just became Muslim two weeks ago I don't know how to read the Quran

334

So could you make it even easier for me?

335

Can I just like read a translation In French or German?

336

Could that be My personal response to that Allahu A'lam Is that Allah made this religion Travel

337

Almost every culture on earth Every culture on earth And it's incredible That wherever Islam traveled The Quran traveled with it

338

The French read The French translation of the Bible the British read the King James translations of the Bible right?

339

the Italians have an Italian translation of the Bible the Spanish have a Spanish translation of the Bible the Indonesian Muslims,

340

the Bangladeshi Muslims the Senegalese Muslims, the Moroccan Muslims the Chinese Muslims the Australian Muslims what are they reading?

341

the Turkish Muslims, the Albanian Muslims What are they reading?

342

They have the Quran

343

فَقْرَأُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ

344

The history of Islam is proof That Allah made this Quran easy In a way

345

that every culture on earth Was able to not only learn But teach their children to this day To this day

346

is one of the most amazing qualities of the Quran

347

that it can be learned by anybody anybody and at any age

348

do you know when Islam first spread

349

and as it was spreading to non-Arab regions all the new Muslims were all adults

350

majority were adults and they were all learning what?

351

Quran You're not the first new Muslim To learn the Quran

352

New Muslims learning the Quran That have no background in Arabic Has been going on

353

For centuries and centuries and centuries This is not a new problem This is an old thing But you know what?

354

The Muslims understood something

355

If Allah is saying Read whatever is easy from the Quran Then we better make sure

356

That we make it easy for our children to learn it

357

We make it easy for an adult Who didn't know to learn it We need to make education of the Quran

358

the reciting of the Quran, the memorizing of the Quran, the understanding of the Quran, easy.

359

And Muslims have been doing that since the birth of Islam.

360

But now, after all of that time, we have the audacity and the laziness to say, it's too hard for me.

361

Really, in the age where you have more learning tools than ever in human history, you have more resources than ever in human history,

362

people would not people would how long would they travel to

363

even get a copy of a book a copy of a book right

364

Resource and it didn't work for you But does that mean you've exhausted every possible resource and every possible avenue.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
