The Shaykh : Where did you go? Did you not keep your heart here, or where? Who completes the verse?
The student :[An-Nisa 4:168-169].
The Shaykh : Well done, rest.[An-Nisa 4:169] This is an explicit text. And Allah the Exalted said in Surat al-Ahzab: [Al-Ahzab 33:64-65] And Allah the Exalted said in Surat al-Jinn: [Al-Jinn 72:23] And if Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said that in His Book in three verses from the Book of Allah, then we have absolutely no deviation from that. If someone asks: What is our answer to the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Hud 11:107]?
We said: The answer to this is that His saying:[Hud 11:107] means that their abiding was by the will of Allah, and it is not possible for us to leave this verse which has another possibility and leave the explicit verses regarding eternity.
We return to the exegesis of the verses in Surat al-Zumar:[Az-Zumar 39:73] O Allah, make us among them. O Allah, make us among them. O Allah, make us among them. [Az-Zumar 39:73] to the end of it. The driving here is not like the first driving of the disbelievers. The driving of the disbelievers is a driving of what? Humiliation and repulsion. And the driving of these righteous ones is a driving of honor. And that is indicated by the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Maryam 19:85-86] The righteous. He said: We will gather, We will collect them, they will come to Allah as a delegation. And a delegation is usually honored or humiliated? Honored. So the difference between the two drivings is that the first, which I mean the driving of the disbelievers, is for humiliation and degradation, whereas the driving of the righteous is for honor. [Az-Zumar 39:73]
The student :
(168) Indeed, those who disbelieve and commit wrong [or injustice] - never will Allah forgive them, nor will He guide them to a path. (169) Except the path of Hell; they will abide therein forever. And that, for Allah, is [always] easy.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَظَلَمُوا لَمْ يَكُنِ اللَّهُ لِيَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ وَلا لِيَهْدِيَهُمْ طَرِيقاً إِلَّا طَرِيقَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَداً وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرًاThe Shaykh : Well done, rest.
Except the path of Hell; they will abide therein forever
إِلَّا طَرِيقَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَداً(64) Indeed, Allah has cursed the disbelievers and prepared for them a Blaze. (65) Abiding therein forever, they will not find a protector or a helper.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَعَنَ الْكَافِرِينَ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ سَعِيراً خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَداً لا يَجِدُونَ وَلِيّاً وَلا نَصِيراًAnd whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger - then indeed, for him is the fire of Hell; they will abide therein forever.
وَمَنْ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنَّ لَهُ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَداً[They will be] abiding therein as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except what your Lord should will. Indeed, your Lord is an effecter of what He intends.
خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ رَبُّكَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ فَعَّالٌ لِمَا يُرِيدُWe said: The answer to this is that His saying:
except what your Lord should will
إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ رَبُّكَWe return to the exegesis of the verses in Surat al-Zumar:
