Question:
I ask Allah to do you good. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: Is every verse containing the word "qad" (indeed) for the purpose of oath and affirmation, such as His saying, the Exalted:[Al-Balad 90:4] and His saying, "And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance"?
Answer:
There is no doubt that the lam is the lam of swearing, and "qad" in this position is for realization, because "qad" can come for realization, it can come for multiplication, and it can come for diminution. It is used in three ways. For example, "The miser may be generous" — this is for diminution. "The miser may be generous" — they say this is for diminution. Yes.

We have certainly created man into hardship.
