The questioner:
the verse, O Shaykh.

for the ship.
The questioner:
[Al-A'raf 7:40].
The Shaykh:
Yes, the camel is the ship’s rope, and it is known that a ship’s rope does not enter the eye of a needle. This is a matter of impossibility. So the disbelievers[Al-A'raf 7:40] This is an expression of impossibility: the impossibility of disbelievers entering Paradise. Yes.
