Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: I heard someone speaking about the saying of Allah the Exalted,[Al-Haqqah 69:36], and he said, "The bathers are Pepsi, the people of the Fire." He asks: Is this mockery?
Answer:
This is mockery. It is not permissible to speak in this way. It is not permissible to interpret the words of Allah as Pepsi. He interpreted Ghislīn as Pepsi. This is like, or close to, what Abu Jahl said when he heard of the tree of Zaqqum; he brought foam and dates and said, “This is the Zaqqum. Eat.” Yes. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said:[Ad-Dukhan 44:43-44]. [Ad-Dukhan 44:45-46], not as Abu Jahl says that it is foam and dates. That is mockery. Yes.
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: I heard someone speaking about the saying of Allah the Exalted,
Nor any food except from the discharge of wounds;
وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِينٍAnswer:
This is mockery. It is not permissible to speak in this way. It is not permissible to interpret the words of Allah as Pepsi. He interpreted Ghislīn as Pepsi. This is like, or close to, what Abu Jahl said when he heard of the tree of Zaqqum; he brought foam and dates and said, “This is the Zaqqum. Eat.” Yes. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said:
(43) Indeed, the tree of zaqqum (44) Is food for the sinful.
إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ الزَّقُّومِ طَعَامُ الْأَثِيمِ(45) Like murky oil, it boils within bellies (46) Like the boiling of scalding water.
كَالْمُهْلِ يَغْلِي فِي الْبُطُونِ كَغَلْيِ الْحَمِيمِ
