Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the interpretation of the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He:[Az-Zumar 39:67]
Answer:
Yes, the meaning of the verse is that they did not know the greatness of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. That these people did not know the greatness of Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He. “And the earth all is in His hand” indicates the greatness.[Az-Zumar 39:67] This indicates the greatness of Allah, which minds and understandings cannot encompass. And because they did not estimate Allah according to what is worthy of Him, they described Him with deficiency and flaws, and they worshipped other than Allah. This is proof that they did not know the worth of Allah and the greatness of Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He.
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the interpretation of the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He:
They have not appraised Allah with true appraisal, while the earth entirely will be [within] His grip on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens will be folded in His right hand. Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him.
وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ وَالْأَرْضُ جَمِيعًا قَبْضَتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَالسَّمَاوَاتُ مَطْوِيَّاتٌ بِيَمِينِهِ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَAnswer:
