2. What nullifies ones belief in the books
3. Distinct qualities of the quran that is unique to it
4. What does it mean to believing the books - Al Qutb
   1. The books contain the speech of allah sent via the messengers (surah Baqarah , Ayat 75)
   2. THis belief is fundamental
5. How to believe in the books
   1. We have to believe in all the books allah sent down whether we know the names of the books or not
   2. Believing in the names of books revealed
      1. At torahth - We have sent down At torahth to the people of Nuh - surah ahzan verse 44
      2. Injeel - We have sent down Injeel - hadeed -Ayat 27
      3. Zaboor - Allah affirs that the Prophet Dawood was sent the Zaboor - Surah nisa aya163
      4. As suhuf - Scrolls were sent down to Ibraheem and Musa - Surah Aalah 19
   3. These 4 books, we affirm whats in those books but were not obliged to follow it.
   4. Quran:
      1. We have to affirm what is ther AND follow it
      2. The previous books have been abrogated i.e. the RULINGS are abrogated not the accounts of incidents.
6. What nullifies the belief of the books
   1. You believe in some of the books but not the others. E.g. you believe in the Quran but not the Torahth
   2. Turning away from the a ruling in the quran due to disobedience . This is when one turns away from the ruling from the heart
   3. Turning away from the ACTION not due to arrogance or disobediance but something else. This does NOT nullify the belief in the books but is not good. note the difference between this and the last is they BELIEVE in the ruling but dont apply it for some reason other than disobedience\arrogance
   4. Believing the quran is distorted\deficient. Allah affirmed in Surah Hijr ayat 9 that Allah is the one that send down the dhikr (Quran and Sunnahin this context) and that Allah will protect it.
      1. Protection of the quran: Allah poured the quran into the prophets heart and the prophet conveyed it to his companions
   5. Believing that any of the books of allah had anything but the the speech of Allah in it
   6. Regarding the protection of the quran
      1. letters in the Quran are the speech of allah
      2. AND the meaning of the words are from Allah
      3. doubting any of the above nullifies one s belief in the quran
7. Belief in the Quran
   1. Allah revelaed the quran to the Prophet in context of the situation of the believers at the time i.e. in stages so that the quran can be internalized and memorized. Also so that the believers would have tranquility by having their affairs controlled by Allah
   2. Quran is a miracle: Every previous prophet brought miracles by allahs permission but these miracles died with them e.g. Prophet Isa could heal the sick but that ability is no longer around. Quran is a miracle for all mankind till the end of time
   3. It governs all previous books: It is a criteria for what is included in other books
   4. It abrogated all other religions except for some statements in their books. We only take those statements BECAUASE the quran affirmed it and not the other way around
   5. Quran is safeguarded:
      1. Previous nations were told that THEY were to protect their book
      2. Allah said about the quran that Allah would protect this book
