Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the saying of the Exalted and Majestic:[Az-Zumar 39:45], does this verse include a Muslim who dislikes attending sermons and lessons and loves gatherings of amusement and play, such that if someone in the gathering mentions Allah, he stands up, leaves, and abandons that gathering? Does he fall under this verse?
Answer:
He falls under this verse, but it may be that he falls under it in a way, may Allah protect us, that equates him to those people? Or that he falls under it to the extent of what he dislikes in his heart of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and the remembrance of Allah the Exalted and Majestic? In any case, he has a share of the verse, whether little or much? Yes.
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the saying of the Exalted and Majestic:
And when Allah is mentioned alone, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter shrink with aversion, but when those [worshipped] other than Him are mentioned, immediately they rejoice.
وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ اشْمَأَزَّتْ قُلُوبُ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ الَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِ إِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَAnswer:
