Changing the form of the Qur'anic supplication from singular to plural
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: Is it permissible to take a supplication from the Qur'an in the singular form and make it plural, such as “Indeed, I was among the wrongdoers,” and saying “Indeed, we were among the wrongdoers”?
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with that. If he supplicates for himself, he uses the singular pronoun. If he supplicates for himself and the Muslims, he uses the plural pronoun. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. We will postpone the remaining questions until after the second session.
The Shaykh:
Yes, and Allah the Exalted knows best. May Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
