Comparing the Explanations of the Al-Nuniyyah Poem
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Which is the best of the printed explanations of the Al-Nuniyyah poem, and which is better, Shaykh Muhammad Murad or Shaykh Ahmad Jami'ah?
The Shaykh:
They are all good, and none of them suffices in place of the others. The second one, the commentary by Shaykh 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Sa'id (may Allah have mercy on him), is also good in the sense of being a summary. None of them suffices in place of the others. The truth is that it has not been explained in the way the required explanation and the comprehensive explanation should be; it has not been explained to this day. But these are attempts. And these attempts, and may Allah reward them with good, have performed a great duty; they brought it closer and provided for it, but the appropriate and comprehensive explanation for it has not been written to this day.
The questioner:
O Most Beautiful.
The Shaykh:
An introduction. Shaykh 'Abd al-Latif wrote an introduction; it is not part of the subject matter, it is only an introduction. Yes.
