The Meaning of the Poet's Saying: The Two Worlds Did Not Understand the Word as They *** Understood the Reports and the Qur'an; It Is He Who Seized Control of Clarification, Just as He *** Seized Control of Excellence in Truth
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"The Two Worlds did not understand the word as they *** understood the reports and the Qur'an"
This is correct, meaning that the people, the Two Worlds of jinn and humans, did not understand the word as they understood the Qur'an and the reports, is that clear? This applies to those who understood it correctly and whose language is correct. As for the common person, a common person who is arrogant comes to him and understands more from his speech than he understands from the speech of Allah and His Messenger, because he is a common person who does not know. But the poet's intention is the people to whom Allah granted correct understanding and knowledge of the language. He said:
"It is He who seized control of clarification *** just as He truly seized control of excellence"
Seized control of clarification means explanation, just as He seized control of excellence, meaning eloquence and perfection. Thus, the Qur'an is perfect in its clarification, its eloquence, and its expressiveness.
