Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
[Al-Jathiyah 45:14] Whoever does good [Al-Jathiyah 45:15] Abu Thamer asks: What is the wisdom behind this blessed verse in Surat al-Jathiyah?
The Shaykh:
Yes, that is in it, yes?
The questioner:
[Al-Jathiyah 45:14] For whom.
The Shaykh:
[Al-Jathiyah 45:14].
The questioner:
To those who.
The Shaykh:
[Al-Jathiyah 45:14]. Yes. [Al-Jathiyah 45:14-15] [Qaf 50:29]. It contains the fact that Allah commanded His Messenger not to hasten the punishment of the disbelievers, or not to delay the punishment of Allah for the disbelievers; for Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, is Wise and All-Knowing.
The questioner:
Glorified and Exalted is He.
The Shaykh:
This is not their portion, but rather it is an increase in their torment, because they persist in injustice, so the torment is increased upon them. We ask Allah for safety. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you and reward you.
Say, [O Muhammad], to those who have believed that they [should] forgive those who expect not the days of Allah so that He may recompense a people for what they used to earn.
قُل لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَغْفِرُوا لِلَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ أَيَّامَ اللَّهِ لِيَجْزِيَ قَوْمًا بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَWhoever does a good deed - it is for himself; and whoever does evil - it is against the self. Then to your Lord you will be returned.
مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلِنَفْسِهِ وَمَنْ أَسَاءَ فَعَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُونَThe Shaykh:
Yes, that is in it, yes?
The questioner:
Say, [O Muhammad], to those who have believed that they [should] forgive
قُل لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَغْفِرُواThe Shaykh:
to those who have believed that they [should] forgive
لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَغْفِرُواThe questioner:
To those who.
The Shaykh:
Say, [O Muhammad], to those who have believed that they [should] forgive those who expect not the days of Allah
قُل لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَغْفِرُوا لِلَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ أَيَّامَ اللَّهِso that He may recompense a people for what they used to earn. (15) Whoever does a good deed - it is for himself; and whoever does evil - it is against the self
لِيَجْزِيَ قَوْمًا بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلِنَفْسِهِ وَمَنْ أَسَاءَ فَعَلَيْهَاand never will I be unjust to the servants."
وَمَا أَنَا بِظَلَّامٍ لِّلْعَبِيدِThe questioner:
Glorified and Exalted is He.
The Shaykh:
This is not their portion, but rather it is an increase in their torment, because they persist in injustice, so the torment is increased upon them. We ask Allah for safety. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you and reward you.
