The questioner:
May Allah bless you. This is Sa'id Muhammad from al-Jawf. He sent some questions asking for the exegesis of some of the blessed verses. He says: The exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “Woe to those who pray”
The Shaykh:
Complete the verse, or rather[Al-Ma'un 107:4-5]. Yes, that is right. It means they waste its time, delaying it from its proper time. Also, their hearts are not present in the prayer; they pray while being heedless in their prayer. This is the meaning of [Al-Ma'un 107:5].
The questioner:
The second verse, he says:[Ya-Sin 36:78].
The Shaykh:
That is, the son of Adam gave us an example. He says: Allah, Glorious and Exalted is He,[Ya-Sin 36:78]. So Allah, he forgot His creation, that Allah brought him into existence from nothing. And the One who brought him into existence from nothing is capable of returning him and returning his bones, even if they are scattered in the earth and become dust. He will return them, Glorified and Exalted is He [Ar-Rum 30:27], Glorious and Exalted is He. So, returning is easier than the beginning, and nothing is too difficult for Allah. But this is in the context of convincing people and giving them an example. Yes.
The presenter:
