The Shaykh : Until the Day of Judgment.
As for what follows: We listened to the recitation of our Imam this night, the night of the tenth of Ramadan in the year 1418, to noble verses, and we will speak about some of them as Allah Mighty and Majestic facilitates.

Second: In the verse, or rather in the two verses,[At-Tawbah 9:94] Is it possible for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to see our work now? It is not possible. If so, this is another point of concern. Therefore, we ask our brothers who have written on their shops or on their establishments [At-Tawbah 9:105] to erase it from these shops and establishments. This is considered an interjected phrase and is not the specific purpose of our session today.

And Allah will observe your deeds, and [so will] His Messenger; then you will be taken back to the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, and He will inform you of what you used to do."
يعتذرون إليكم إذا رجعتم إليهم قل لا تعتذروا قد نبأنا الله من أخباركم وسيرى الله عملكم ورسوله ثم تردون إلى عالم الغيب والشهادة فينبئكم بما كنتم تعملونAnd say, "Do [as you will], for Allah will see your deeds, and [so, will] His Messenger
