The Shaykh:
Repeat the question.
The questioner:
He says regarding the noble verse[Al-Hashr 59:21], are there characteristics to the impact of the Qur'an on others?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the Qur'an is, without doubt, the speech of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). If Allah had addressed the mountains with it, they would have crumbled out of fear of Allah. This indicates that the heart of the servant should be harder, harder than stones[Al-Baqarah 2:74]. If Allah had addressed the mountain with the Qur'an, it would have crumbled out of fear of Allah, because of the greatness of the Qur'an and the greatness of the Speaker. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

If We had sent down this Qur'an upon a mountain, you would have seen it humbled and coming apart from fear of Allah.
لَوْ أَنزَلْنَا هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنَ عَلَىٰ جَبَلٍ لَّرَأَيْتَهُ خَاشِعًا مُّتَصَدِّعًا مِّنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِThe Shaykh:
