The Meaning of the Poet's Saying: "Did you think, O deluded one, that the seller of it *** would accept coin struck by Genghis Khan?"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"Did you think, O deluded one, that the seller of it *** would accept coin struck by Genghis Khan?"
This is one of the Mongol kings who had a coinage struck with his name on it. He accepted this currency and rejected the sound, valid currency. The intended meaning, as I mentioned, is also the empty talk of the people of Kalam (theologians) that he accepted for himself and rejected the sound, valid currency.
"Your soul has deceived you, and by Allah, the impossible, if *** you coveted this and were deceived by Satan"
He spoke the truth, may Allah have mercy on him. The one who is incapable is the one who follows his soul's desires and hopes for Allah's promises. The person who is deluded by the outward appearance of his state, does not turn to the Book and the Sunnah, and claims that he is the one who practices tawhid (the oneness of Allah), has been deluded by his soul and by Satan.
The student: O Shaykh
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner :"Your soul has deceived you, and by Allah, the impossible, if" and not "if you coveted."
The Shaykh : If you coveted
The questioner : And it does not become "if"?
The Shaykh : It is correct to say "if," but "if you coveted" is correct, yes.
