The Shaykh’s remarks on the meaning of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “And We revealed to you the Reminder so that you may make clear to the people what was revealed to them.”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : I am merely circling around this noble verse, in which, as you heard, is the saying of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) [An-Nahl 16:44] In this, in this noble verse, there is explicit text that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was revealed the Qur'an and was tasked with the duty of clarifying this Qur'an. This clarification mentioned in this noble verse is the pure Sunnah. This means that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) did not leave the matter of understanding the Qur'an to people, even if they were pure Arabs. How much more so if they became Arabized non-Arabs? How much more so if they were non-Arabs who became Arabized? They are in need of, and cannot do without, the clarification of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), because this clarification is the second revelation that Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) revealed to the heart of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). However, the wisdom of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) necessitated that there be a recited revelation, for which worship is performed by its recitation, namely the Noble Qur'an, and a revelation that is not recited like the Qur'an, but which must be preserved, because there is no way to understand the clarified matter, namely the Qur'an, except through the clarifier, or the clarification with which he (peace and blessings be upon him) was tasked.
