Question:
He also says: The verse[Ya-Sin 36:41] has been difficult for me to understand, from the mention of “fully laden” even after reading the tafsir. What is its meaning, and how can it be a sign for them when it is for those who said it?
Answer:
Yes, and what is the sign for them? The sign is for the people. I carried them. The difficulty is not in “for them”; the difficulty is in “their offspring.” The difficulty is that he said, “We carried their offspring.” Are the first ones the offspring of the later ones? No, he is addressing the later ones and saying, “We carried their offspring.” Whose offspring?
The offspring of the later ones. This cannot be the intended meaning. “Their offspring” means the offspring of those who came before them. The offspring of those who came before them. So the pronoun refers to other than the ones being addressed. The pronoun refers to other than the ones being addressed. “Their offspring” means the people of Noah (peace be upon him); Allah carried them in the ship. When the drowning and the flood came, which covered the mountains and destroyed the people of the earth except for those who were in the ship. Yes.
