Question:
Honorable Shaykh Salih, and this is Dr. 'Amad Muhammad. He says: In the words of Allah the Exalted,
Indeed, those who inject deviation into Our verses are not concealed from Usإِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِي آيَاتِنَا لَا يَخْفَوْنَ عَلَيْنَا
[Fussilat 41:40]
he asks, may Allah bless you, what is the concept of ilhad, and what is the reason for this word here in this verse?

Answer:
Ilhad in the language means deviation; it is deviation from the straight path. This is ilhad.
Indeed, those who inject deviation into Our versesإِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِي آيَاتِنَا
[Fussilat 41:40]
meaning they interpret them other than their true interpretation
And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them. And leave [the company of] those who practice deviation concerning Hisوَلِلَّهِ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَىٰ فَادْعُوهُ بِهَا وَذَرُوا الَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِي أَسْمَائِهِ
[Al-A'raf 7:180]
meaning they interpret them other than their true interpretation because they deviated with their interpretation from the truth, so Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, rebuked them. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you and may He bless you,
