The Ruling on Swearing by What Allah Swore By
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
At the beginning of the interpretation of the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Tariq:1] You said: That Allah, Mighty and Majestic, swore by the sky,So when we read, we say: and the sky, so is this considered us swearing by other than Allah?
Reciting the Qur'an is reciting the words that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, spoke.
But if I wanted to swear, I would say: And the sky and the night star, if so-and-so is present, this would be forbidden; but if I recite it, I am informing about what Allah swore by,But if I wanted to swear anew and say: and the sky and the night star, if so-and-so is present, this would be forbidden; because swearing by other than Allah is shirk (associating partners with Allah), but if I recite it, I am informing about what Allah swore by.
And the sky and the night star
