Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner:
Shaykh Salih, may Allah reward you. This questioner says: In his question, regarding what Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nahl 16:1]
The Shaykh:
[Al-Fatihah 1:1-2]. May Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. "The command of Allah has come" means the Hour of Resurrection and the transition from this worldly life to the Hereafter. Thus, the future is expressed using the past tense to indicate the certainty of its occurrence. "The command of Allah has come" is equivalent to "the command of Allah is coming" or "the command of Allah will come, may He be Exalted." So, the future is expressed with a past-tense verb to confirm its occurrence, to emphasize the certainty of preparation for it, and to keep it constantly in mind. Yes.
