Does the true dawn extend from north to south, or the reverse?

The questioner : " 'Aid " : This is new to me. Do you mean that the light of the true dawn extends from north to south, or the reverse, filling this area and reaching to where?

The Shaykh: What do you mean by the reverse? What is the reverse?

The questioner : " 'Aid " : I mean from north to south, or from south to north?

The Shaykh: Ah, okay; let it be.

The questioner : " 'Aid " : Take your ease, my Shaykh.

The Shaykh: All right.

The questioner : " 'Aid " : So I mean - my Shaykh - right now, I am sure it is on this side. Does the extension, if we imagine this is the north and this is the south, does the light extend from here, or is it just the process of extension?

The Shaykh: This is impossible if you mean...

The questioner : " 'Aid " : It is.

The Shaykh: This is not possible.

The questioner: ... but if you look - my Shaykh - did he understand this as I understood it?

The Shaykh: Here, one of the brothers present here misunderstood, do you hear me?

The questioner: Yes, yes, I hear you.

The Shaykh: Ah, how long is the horizon, for example?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: Its length, for example, is fifty kilometers. He misunderstood my words to mean that you need to see the light extending from north to south for fifty kilometers.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: So he wanted, in order to establish the correct opinion, to say that this is not what is intended; what is intended is the extension.

The questioner: Partial.

The Shaykh : Yes?

The questioner: Partial.

The Shaykh: The extension is what is valid, that it extends to the right and to the left, as I said earlier.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: Or to the south and to the north. It is not intended that the horizon, for example, be in a place where the horizon is very limited, and it may be in another place where the horizon is very, very extended. So it is not intended that the entire horizon be filled with whiteness, but rather it is valid for this whiteness to extend to the right and to the left, not being in a specific place such that it appears as a pyramid rising to the sky, not extending to the right and to the left. This is what is intended in the precaution.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: And in any case, if Allah wills, there was some benefit.

The questioner : If Allah wills.

The Shaykh: From the lecture.

The questioner : If Allah wills.
