The Meaning of the Saying of Allah the Exalted: "Have you seen the one who denies the religion?"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : Allah the Exalted said:

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Have you seen the one who denies the religion? That is the one who drives away the orphan and does not encourage the feeding of the poor.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم أرأيت الذي يكذب بالدين فذلك الذي يدع اليتيم ولا يحض على طعام المسكين

to the end of it.
The scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) said: When Allah the Exalted says:

Have you seen

أرأيت

, the meaning is "inform me,"

Have you seen the one who denies

أرأيت الذي يكذب

meaning "inform me about the state of this man who denies the religion." To deny the religion means not to believe in it. The intended meaning of "religion" here is the recompense, which is the Day of Resurrection, as Allah the Exalted said:

⁽¹⁷⁾ And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense? ⁽¹⁸⁾ Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?

وما أدراك ما يوم الدين ثم ما أدراك ما يوم الدين

[Al-Infitar 82:17-18]

. And many are those who deny the resurrection, as Allah the Exalted said:

Those who disbelieve have claimed that they will never be resurrected. Say, "Yes, by my Lord, you will surely be resurrected; then you will surely be informed of what you did. And that, for Allah, is easy."

زعم الذين كفروا أن لن يبعثوا قل بلى وربي لتبعثن ثم لتنبؤن بما عملتم وذلك على الله يسير

[At-Taghabun 64:7]

. What is the matter with this one who denies the religion?
