Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah greet you. To begin, Your Excellency the Shaykh (may Allah preserve you), this person is asking about the meaning of the word "al-naba'" (the news) in Allah's saying: "Of what are they asking one another? Of the great news in which they differ. No, they will surely know. Then, no, they will surely know. Did We not make the earth a bed? And the mountains as stakes?"
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Fatihah 1:1] Of what are the polytheists asking one another in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? They are asking about the great news, which is the Day of Resurrection. The word "naba'" originally means "news." It is derived from "nubuwwah," which means elevation, or from "naba'ah," which means prophecy. [An-Naba 78:2-3] Some of them believe in it and affirm it, but they do not act upon it, while others deny this news; they denied the Day of Resurrection, the resurrection, and the rising. Yes.
The presenter:
