Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (Then you will see it with the eye of certainty, and then you will be asked on that Day about the blessings)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :
Then you will see it ثم لترونها
He affirmed
Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty. ثم لترونها عين اليقين
[At-Takathur 102:7]
Look, Glorified is Allah, the Qur'an in persuasion has nothing like it. First, He informed with a confirmed report that we will see it. Then He said:
Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty. ثم لترونها عين اليقين
[At-Takathur 102:7]
. And this is witnessing. Witnessing is stronger than a report, and for this reason Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said to Allah (Mighty and Majestic):
My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead رب أرني كيف تحيي الموتى
[Al-Baqarah 2:260]
Allah said to him:
Have you not believed?" He said, "Yes, but [I ask] only that my heart may be satisfied. أولم تؤمن قال بلى ولكن ليطمئن قلبي
[Al-Baqarah 2:260]
. And when the angels gave Zakariyya good news of a son,
He said, "My Lord, make for me a sign." قال رب اجعل لي آية
[Ali 'Imran 3:41]
a sign so that I would be more reassured
He said, "Your sign is that you will not speak to the people for three nights, [being] sound." قال آيتك أن لا تكلم الناس ثلاث ليال سويا
[Maryam 19:10]
.
(7) Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty. (8) Then you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure. ثم لترونها عين اليقين ثم لتسألن يومئذ عن النعيم
[At-Takathur 102:7-8]
which you used to boast about. You will be asked about this blessing.
First: Where did it come from? And how did it come to you?
Second: How did you spend it? Did you spend it in the pleasure of Allah, or in disobedience to Allah, or in vain with no benefit?
We must be asked, O people.
Indeed, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed as a guest with some of the Ansar (may Allah be pleased with them), and they brought him fresh dates on a bunch, with dates, water, and they were under the shade. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) ate and drank and said: Cold water, cold dates, and cold shade. You will be asked on that Day about the blessings إن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم نزل ضيفا على بعض الأنصار رضي الله عنهم وأتاهم برطب عذق فيه رطب تمر وماء. وهم تحت الظل. فأكل النبي صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم وشرب وقال : ماء بارد ورطب بارد وظل بارد لتسألن يومئذ عن النعيم
. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon him. Dates, water, and the shade of a tree. He informed that he would be asked about this. So what about you today, O people? The blessings we are in, everything is available. The wall, the wall, you open the tap and water comes down on you. Is the water hot or cold? Hot or cold? Whatever you want. Hot, cold, or moderate, whatever you want. Where will this be? Types of food that you cannot count are present, and praise be to Allah. Security and prosperity. By Allah, we will be asked about this. By Allah, we will be asked about this. Then these blessings we are in are feared, O brothers, they are feared, because blessings are a trial and afflictions are a trial. Allah the Exalted said:
And We test you with evil and with good as trial ولنبلونكم بالشر والخير فتنة
[Al-Anbya 21:35]
.
A trial from people: some, when Allah blesses them with a blessing, become arrogant, transgress, disobey, become haughty, and use it to aid in sin. And we know that this blessing, in his case, is what? It is an affliction, a luring. And some people, when Allah blesses them with a blessing, use it in obedience to Allah. And if they use it in what is permissible, they use it in a way that is neither wasteful nor stingy, and they give charity from it and spend in the way of Allah, and so on. This is also a blessing.
- Be careful, O man, be careful, be careful -
What will you answer Allah on the Day of Resurrection if He asks you about this blessing? Be careful of this.
