Comment on the verse “So Allah will see your deeds” in workplaces
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: It is reported from you that you say regarding this verse[At-Tawbah 9:105] [At-Tawbah 9:94] “your deeds,” that it is permissible to hang it in workplaces. Is this what you said?
Answer:
No, that is a lie. No, no, I did not say that. Because what is meant by “deeds” is not worldly work; the intended meaning is the hereafter’s deeds. People today interpret it as worldly work, but it refers to the hereafter’s deeds: righteous deeds and acts of obedience. Verses are not to be hung. I do not see hanging verses, because this involves degrading the verses and exposing them to degradation. This is something the Salaf did not do; they did not hang signs, verses, or dhikr. They did not do this.
