Is it permissible to interpret the Qur'an in every age according to what suits it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Another questioner : Regarding the Book of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), does its interpretation in every age differ from the age before it?
The Shaykh : Never. That is clear misguidance. It is not permissible to play with the interpretation of the Qur'an. The Qur'an, as Allah the Exalted said in the Qur'an:[An-Nahl 16:44]. So the Messenger clarified the Qur'an. Therefore, what the Messenger (peace be upon him) clarified in the Sunnah, it is not permissible for people to say, "I understand the Qur'an in such a way." Stick to the established matter.
The questioner : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : Stick to the established matter.
The questioner : What is the difference between the message (risalah) and prophethood (nubuwwah)?
The Shaykh : This is a matter related to the principles of jurisprudence. I will give the answer after a while, when I explain it.
The questioner : Send blessings upon the Prophet.
The Shaykh : Me, or you?
The Shaykh : Never. That is clear misguidance. It is not permissible to play with the interpretation of the Qur'an. The Qur'an, as Allah the Exalted said in the Qur'an:
And We revealed to you the message that you may make clear to the people what was sent down to them
وأنزلنا إليك الذكر لتبين للناس ما نزل إليهمThe questioner : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : Stick to the established matter.
The questioner : What is the difference between the message (risalah) and prophethood (nubuwwah)?
The Shaykh : This is a matter related to the principles of jurisprudence. I will give the answer after a while, when I explain it.
The questioner : Send blessings upon the Prophet.
The Shaykh : Me, or you?
