Reading from the words of the poet: And Allah has described inanimate objects as being (until he says) negated and not part of the category of living beings
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "And Allah has described inanimate objects as being *** dead and deaf, and they have no eyes"
"And likewise He negated from them joy and their speech *** and creation, a negation with clear explanation"
"This is, and they do not have acceptance for the *** "
The Shaykh :"and it is not"
The reader: "This is, and they do not have acceptance for the *** "
The Shaykh :"for them" "for them" "for them"
The reader: "This is, and they do not have acceptance for that which *** is negated, and they are not part of the category of living beings"
"And it is also said, the second of the *** "
The Shaykh : Very well.
"And Allah has described inanimate objects as being *** dead"
[An-Nahl 16:20-21] Even though al-Lat, al-'Uzza, and Manat are inanimate objects, He denied them and described them as dead, even though they are not capable of that. So, a thing is affirmed by what it is not capable of and denied by what it is not capable of, by the explicit text of the Qur'an. So how do you say that if we say that Allah is neither inside nor outside, this is a correct description because He is not capable of being inside or outside? We say to them: Even if He is not capable of it, this is not correct. Then he said
"And likewise He negated from them sensation and their speech *** and creation"
[An-Nahl 16:20] [An-Nahl 16:21]
"This is, and they do not have acceptance for that which *** is negated, and they are not part of the category of living beings"
Clear, meaning these things are inanimate; they are not of the living beings from whom death or sensation is negated, and yet Allah negated them from them. Yes.
"And likewise He negated from them joy and their speech *** and creation, a negation with clear explanation"
"This is, and they do not have acceptance for the *** "
The Shaykh :"and it is not"
The reader: "This is, and they do not have acceptance for the *** "
The Shaykh :"for them" "for them" "for them"
The reader: "This is, and they do not have acceptance for that which *** is negated, and they are not part of the category of living beings"
"And it is also said, the second of the *** "
The Shaykh : Very well.
"And Allah has described inanimate objects as being *** dead"
(20) And those they invoke other than Allah create nothing, and they [themselves] are created. (21) They are, [in fact], dead, not alive
والذين تدعون من دون الله لا يخلقون شيئا وهم يخلقون أموات غير أحياء"And likewise He negated from them sensation and their speech *** and creation"
create nothing, and they [themselves] are created.
لا يخلقون شيئا وهم يخلقونThey are, [in fact], dead, not alive, and they do not perceive when they will be resurrected.
أموات غير أحياء وما يشعرون أيان يبعثون"This is, and they do not have acceptance for that which *** is negated, and they are not part of the category of living beings"
Clear, meaning these things are inanimate; they are not of the living beings from whom death or sensation is negated, and yet Allah negated them from them. Yes.
