Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "And We have built above you seven, firmly set," to His saying: "And the mountains were removed, and they became a mirage."

The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and I send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment.
As for what follows:
We are in this twenty-sixth Thursday of the month of Rabi' al-Akhir, 1413, or the twenty-fifth. Ah, we are concluding the gatherings of this month because this is the fourth one, although there was an absence at the beginning of the month for an excuse. We ask Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, to make these gatherings regular and to bless them for us and our brothers, and to grant us all beneficial knowledge and righteous deeds. Indeed, He is Generous and Bountiful. Now, we complete what we began with, which is a concise exegesis of the last parts of the Noble Qur'an. Yes, and what is in it? I did not understand.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Now, the last parts of the Noble Qur'an, which is the Part of 'Am, and that is because this part is frequently heard from the imams in their prayers. For this reason, after your choice, we chose to speak about it briefly.
The last verse, so the last verse we spoke about last week is the saying of Allah the Exalted: to the end of the surah. If it is facilitated, we will speak about it today.
Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: meaning: strong and firm. These are the seven heavens. The mention of the heavens has come restricted to seven in the Noble Qur'an in the saying of Allah the Exalted: .
As for the earths, they came restricted to this number in the Sunnah, such as the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): .
They also came in the Noble Qur'an restricted to this number by way of indication in the saying of Allah the Exalted: . So His saying: , only similarity in number is possible in it, because similarity in quality is impossible, since there is a difference between the heavens and the earth in quality, attribute, expanse, and strength. So it is established that the intended meaning is in number.
Then He, the Exalted, said: , and that is this sun. For it is the lamp of the earth, and a blazing light of intense heat. The proof of this is that we feel its heat, and between us and it is this great distance, especially in the days of summer, when it is close to our heads, vertical above us.
It is not hidden from the people of knowledge of the natures of plants, seas, and deserts what great benefit there is in this heat for the entities and the attributes. For this reason, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, emphasized that by His saying: meaning: it blazes. : The "Mu'ṣirāt" are the clouds, and they are called "Mu'ṣirāt" because they are in the position of one who wrings water from a cloth. For this water penetrates this cloud and comes out of it, just as water comes out of a wrung cloth.
Allah the Exalted said:
And His saying: meaning: much pouring down, meaning the downpour, and that is due to its abundance and strength, until it waters the earth. Allah the Exalted said: . The grain and the plants are the crops, and they are the plants that do not have a stalk.
are the trees that have a stalk. So from this pouring water come the crops, the date palms, the grapes, and others, whether they come out of it directly or come out of it by means of extracting water from the earth, because the water in the earth is from the rain.
As He, the Exalted, said: . And He, the Exalted, said in another verse: . And His saying: meaning: folded one over the other, until they cover those who are in them due to their abundance and their folding one over the other.
Then He, the Exalted, said: , and that is the Day of Resurrection. It is called the Day of Judgment because Allah judges therein between the servants regarding what has grown between them and what they differed in. He judges between the people of truth and the people of falsehood, the people of disbelief and the people of faith, the people of aggression and the people of moderation. And He also judges therein between the people of Paradise and the people of the Fire .
And means: appointed for a counted time, as He, the Exalted, said: . And what is your opinion of a thing that has a counted term, and you see how the term goes quickly, day after day, until the person reaches the last stage? So likewise, the entire world moves day after day until it reaches the last stage.
For this reason, He, the Exalted, said: . And everything is counted, so it ends. . And the one who blows in it is Israfil, who is in charge of it, and he blows in it two blasts:
The first: people are terrified, then they are struck with a stunning blow and die. The second: they are resurrected from their graves, and their souls return to them. For this reason, he said here: . And in the verse, as is not hidden, there is brevity by omission, meaning: so you live, and you come in groups, a group with a group, or one group following another. And these groups, and Allah knows best, are according to the nations. Every nation is called to its book to be reckoned upon it. So the people come in groups in this great standing place where the earth is leveled, and Allah, Mighty and Majestic, leaves it . And on this day, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: . They opened and split, so they become doors that people see, after they were a preserved ceiling. On that day, they become open doors. And in this is a proof of the perfection of the power of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, that He makes these seven, firmly set, on the Day of Resurrection as if they had not been, becoming doors .
meaning: the great, solid mountains are crushed, so they become like sand, then they become like a mirage, moving .
Then He, the Exalted, said: . And we leave that for the coming week, if Allah wills. And praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his companions. There are specific questions. Good, yes, allow us.
