What is the meaning of (( MUTAWAFFIKA )) in His saying - the Exalted -

The questioner: A verse - O Shaykh - from Surat al-Imran ; what is the meaning of "mutawaffika" here?

The Shaykh: This verse is confusing to some people, and the reason is that it has become dominant in their understanding that "wafat" means death, and they do not return to the root of the word "wafat" due to their distance from the Arabic language and its literature. The root of the word "wafat" in the language is taking a thing in its complete state. So a person says, for example: "I have collected my debt." What does "I have collected my debt" mean? It means I took my debt in full and complete. So the root of "wafat" in the language is like this. In the verse, when people assume that the meaning of "wafat" is killing, they may interpret it as death. But here the intended meaning is taking Jesus as he is, as you are; that is: taking you with your body and your soul. The rest of the verse confirms this meaning: , "raising you" is addressed to whom?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh: To Jesus with the soul and the body together. This is exactly similar to His saying - the Exalted - : the verse. They differed, both in the past and the present, ; was the Isra with his body - peace be upon him - and his soul, or with his soul without his body? There are two well-known opinions, but the correct opinion, in which there is no doubt or ambiguity, is that his Isra - peace be upon him - and his Mi'raj were with the soul and the body together. This verse indicates this meaning; because He said: , so His servant Muhammad - peace and blessings be upon him - about whom this verse informed is with the soul and the body; therefore He took Muhammad by his body and his soul; likewise the previous verse: ; that is: taking you as you are and raising you as you are; therefore the correct opinion is that Jesus - peace and blessings be upon him - Allah - Mighty and Majestic - raised him to the sky with his body and his soul.
Then this was confirmed by the authentic, indeed the mass-transmitted hadith; where he - peace and blessings be upon him - said: . So this one whom Allah raised to Himself with his body and his soul will also be brought down - likewise - with his body and his soul to judge between all people, the Muslims, the Christians, and the Jews, by the law of Allah, Islam. This is a prophetic miracle from beginning to end; He raised him as he is, and then He will bring him down as he is to judge by what he - peace and blessings be upon him - brought from the Book and the Sunnah.
Yes.
