The Meaning of the Poet's Statement: "And they committed every crime against Islam, for they unleashed the enemies through aggression, arming them with the weapons of the impossible, and that weapon betrayed them, so..."

The Shaykh : Then he mentioned that they committed every crime against Islam, because they unleashed the enemies. How? The enemies became such that every person would speak about what he had, and say to his opponent, "This that you said is impossible." So the people of ta'til (denial of the divine attributes) and tashbih (likening Allah to creation), who deny the resurrection, would say, "This is impossible: Who can give life to bones when they are crumbled?" And every false person would say to his opponent who affirms what he denies, "This is impossible." For this reason, he says:
"They armed them with the weapons of the impossible, and that weapon betrayed them, so they did not gain satisfaction through their attacks" It did not benefit them, but rather harmed them, where they say that what they desire is possible, and what they do not desire is impossible, even if Allah and His Messenger affirmed it.
