What is the way to know the inimitability in Surat al-Ma'un?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : All right, regarding perceiving the inimitability in such as the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Ma'un 107:1] in Surat al-Ma'un, what is the way to know the inimitability in a surah like this?
The Shaykh : This is what we discussed in a previous question.
Khalid: We spoke about the Qur'an in general, when you said that, for example, the scientific discoveries that had not been reached... science reached them in the last of time.
The Shaykh : Yes, but I said before that the inimitability of the Qur'an for the Arabs relates to their language.
The questioner : Yes, I am saying now, for the Arab, how does he perceive the inimitability in this surah?
The Shaykh : If he is an Arab and not an Arab who has become non-Arabic, he perceives it; because this matter is a matter of taste.
The questioner : Meaning, do we suffice, as I said before, with the inability of the Arabs?
The Shaykh : Yes, that is it, regarding understanding the Qur'an in its language. As for this, it does not negate that there may be miracles in which even the Europeans share in understanding.
The questioner : Like the splitting of the moon, for example?
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O our Shaykh.
