The Meaning of the Saying of Allah the Exalted: "Until you visit the graveyards."
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Is "until" here a marker of purpose or a marker of cause? And the question is for whoever has knowledge of grammar? Is it a marker of purpose or a marker of cause? I have no one here. I have faith in Allah. This
The student: It is a marker of purpose.
The Shaykh : Do you say that with knowledge?
The student: It is a marker of purpose.
The Shaykh : Do you say that with knowledge?
The student: If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : Okay, what is the difference?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : And if it were a marker of cause?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : In any case, it is a marker of purpose, a marker of purpose, and the meaning is that the competition in worldly things distracted you until you died, until you passed away, meaning it is equivalent to "to." The marker of cause is the one that means "for the sake of." An example of it is the saying of the hypocrites:[Al-Munafiqun 63:7] What? The meaning is "for the sake of" their dispersing from him, and the meaning is not "until" they disperse from him. If they disperse, then spend. No.
So here, "until" is a marker of cause. Therefore, we understand that "until" in the Arabic language comes, what? For the sake of cause and for the sake of purpose, and this is what mostly circulates in speech. It comes with other meanings, but this is not the place to elaborate on them. We hope to hold onto these two meanings. Okay.
So "until you visit the graveyards" means "until you visited the graveyards." The intended meaning of the visit is not the visit of the living person who goes to the graveyard and greets the people of the graves. The intended meaning of "you visited the graveyards" is that you died and were buried in the graveyards. Pay attention, my brother.
An Arab heard a man reciting this verse: What did he say? He said, "By Allah, the visitor is not a resident, and there must be a purpose beyond the graveyards." By Allah, the Arab was very intelligent, because the visitor comes to the owner of the house to visit him and walk around, and he says, "You are in the graveyards, you are not residents forever and ever. Rather, it is a passing visit. To where? To the Resurrection, to the Resurrection." So the Arab used his understanding of Arabic to infer that the verse indicates the establishment of the Resurrection, and the way he did that is what you heard.
Is the visitor a resident or not a resident? My people, the answer is clear, my people. Or is the visitor a resident or not? Not a resident.
The one who is buried in the graveyard is, therefore, not a resident.
Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you until you visit the graves.
