Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “... He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills, and Allah is over all things competent.”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says: [Al-Baqarah 2:284]. This is excepted from shirk (associating partners with Allah), for if a person harbors shirk against Allah and relies upon it, He will not forgive him, as Allah the Exalted said: Read the verse. Read it. Stand up, stand up, man.
The student:[An-Nisa 4:48] .
The Shaykh : Well done. May Allah bless you.[An-Nisa 4:48] Every thing. So Allah the Exalted is capable of it; if it exists, He is capable of annihilating it, and if it does not exist, He is capable of creating it, and He has not excepted anything from this.
Then He will forgive whom He wills and punish whom He wills, and Allah is over all things competent.

Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills
إن الله لا يغفر لا يغفر أن يشرك به ويغفر ما دون ذلك لمن يشاءThe Shaykh : Well done. May Allah bless you.
