Exegesis of a verse from Surat al-Mujadilah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment.
To proceed: This is the two hundred and thirty-fifth session of the sessions known as the Open Door, which take place every Thursday of every week, and this Thursday is the seventh of Safar in the year 1421 AH.
We begin this session with the exegesis of verses from the speech of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) that He opens up for us, and let it be known that the Qur'an is the speech of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), by which He truly spoke and cast it down to Jibril, then Jibril brought it down upon the heart of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and he understood and memorized it. He would hasten to Jibril's recitation out of longing for the Qur'an and eagerness for it.So Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Qiyamah: 16-18] meaning: when Jibril recites it, follow his recitation [Al-Qiyamah: 19].
The Qur'an is the best of speech in its reports, rulings, effects, and impact. For this reason, I urge every person to memorize the Qur'an, reflect on its meanings, and act upon it; because Allah the Exalted elevated this nation when it struggled with the Qur'an and for the Qur'an, and Allah elevated it. When it turned away and abandoned it, it suffered the humiliation that you know now. If it returns to the Qur'an and the Sunnah as the predecessors were upon it, its honor and dignity will return to it.
I urge my brothers to learn the Qur'an and its exegesis,And let him take the exegesis from two ways: first: from the scholars who are trustworthy in their knowledge, trustworthy in their integrity and creed.
The second: the books of exegesis, but it is obligatory to avoid the exegeses that include distortion of the Qur'an regarding the attributes and names of Allah the Exalted, so let us beware of them.

(16) Move not your tongue with it, [O Muhammad], to hasten with recitation of the Qur'an. (17) Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation. (18) So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation.
لا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِ * إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ * فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُThen upon Us is its clarification [to you].
