Part 2: Dr. Khaled Abou El Fadl continues his original Quranic commentaries on Surah 25, Al Furqan, "The Criterion." As part of the Project Illumine: The Light of the Quran series, this presentation of the chapter-by-chapter meaning of the Quran is the fruit of a lifelong dedication to the study of every tafsir of the Islamic tradition coupled with intense dhikr to open the deeper meanings of the surahs. This is the eleventh surah that has been covered in this unique approach to covering the Quran, driven by the desire to understand the message that ignited the passion of the early Muslims during the time of the Prophet Muhammad. Q&A is included. Presented at The Usuli Institute (www.usuli.org) on 6 February 2021. For a list of all previous classes, visit: https://www.usuli.org/project-illumin...

Lyrics:

I testify
By heart and eye
By the tears I cry
I no longer deny

The blessings in my life that are too numerous to count
My heart I thought was lost but in your mercy it was found
So from this moment onward, ya Hadi be my guide
Till even my darkest darkness is just a shadow of your light

Ashaddu an la ilaha illa Allah, la ilaha illa Allah,
La ilaha illa Allah, la ilaha illa Allah
La ilaha illa Allah, la ilaha illa Allah
La ilaha illa Allah, wa ashaddu anna Muhammadan Rasul Ullah

I witness
I see you are the sight beyond my eyes
I witness
Truth has become apparent beyond lies
I witness
The many different names have become one
I witness
Returning back to where we had begun

Ashaddu an la ilaha illa Allah, la ilaha illa Allah,
La ilaha illa Allah, la ilaha illa Allah
La ilaha illa Allah, la ilaha illa Allah
La ilaha illa Allah, wa ashaddu anna Muhammadan Rasul Ullah
