Parsing (Blessed are You, our Lord, and Exalted)

The questioner : "Blessed are You, our Lord, and Exalted." There is a difficulty here that Allah's guidance will resolve for us. "Blessed are You, our Lord"—how did he say "our Lord"? It is known that the doer (fā'il) is in the nominative case. This is a joke, and I have a friend.

The Shaykh : Where is the doer? "Tibāraka" is a verb. "Tibāraka"?

The questioner : And the sentence, all of it, belongs to it.

The Shaykh : Yes, but the doer of "Jabbar" (the Compeller).

The questioner : "Tibāraka" is agreed upon.

The Shaykh : It came, that is all. "Blessed are You, our Lord"—the implied meaning is "Blessed are You, O our Lord." The meaning of "tubāraka" (blessed) in Allah, Mighty and Majestic, is that He, Glorified and Exalted is He, is the bestower of blessing, and that blessing is attained through His remembrance and through His name. Therefore, we find that if a man says "In the name of Allah" over a slaughtered animal, it becomes lawful. If he does not say "In the name of Allah," it becomes forbidden. If he says "In the name of Allah" over his ablution, it becomes valid. If he does not say "In the name of Allah," it is not valid according to many scholars, even though the correct view is that it is not a condition and the mention of the name is not obligatory in ablution. However, according to the view that it is obligatory, if he intentionally omits it, the ablution is invalid; the ablution does not become valid. All right.
