Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "A revelation from the Lord of the worlds."
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said: [Al-Waqi'ah 56:80] He owns the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and He manages the affairs of the heavens and the earth. The term "worlds" here refers to everything other than Allah, for it is a world. The word is pluralized because of its various types, as it is said: the world of humans, the world of jinn, the world of animals, and so on.
[Al-Waqi'ah 56:80] Its attribution to the Lord of the worlds necessitates two things:
The first: that we believe that Allah spoke it truly.
The second: that we believe in it as legislation and as truth. So whatever news comes in the Qur'an, what is obligatory for us? What? To believe in it, because it is the speech of Allah. And whatever comes as a command or a prohibition, we must comply with it: if it is a command to do something, we do it; if it is a prohibition, we stay away from it.
[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
