The questioner : His EminenceThe Shaykh : In Surat al-Sajdah, the statement of Allah the Exalted is: [As-Sajdah 32:5]
The Shaykh : Then
The questioner :[As-Sajdah 32:5] And in Surat al-Ma'arij, the statement of Allah the Exalted is: [Al-Ma'arij 70:4] So what is the reconciliation between the two verses?
The Shaykh : As for the verse in al-Sajdah, Allah says:[As-Sajdah 32:5] This is in this world [As-Sajdah 32:5] and that is because it has come in the hadith: .
So on this basis, it becomes five hundred and five hundred thousand.
As for al-Ma'arij, in Surat al-Ma'arij, that is in the Hereafter. For this reason, it appears to me that the statement of Blessed and Exalted is He:[Al-Ma'arij 70:4] is connected to His statement: [Al-Ma'arij 70:1-2] [Al-Ma'arij 70:4] Rather, the angels and the Spirit ascend to Him, meaning in this world, according to what came in the chapter: al-Sajdah. This is what appears to me. The difference is clear.
The questioner : Your Eminence, the Shaykh
The Shaykh : No, no, my son, from the oath, we give the Indonesian as he said.
He arranges [each] matter from the heaven to the earth; then it will ascend to Him in a Day, the extent of which
يُدَبِّرُ الْأَمْرَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُThe Shaykh : Then
The questioner :
then it will ascend to Him in a Day, the extent of which is a thousand years
ثم يَعْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍThe angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years.
تَعْرُجُ الْمَلائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍThe Shaykh : As for the verse in al-Sajdah, Allah says:
He arranges [each] matter from the heaven to the earth; then it will ascend to Him
يُدَبِّرُ الْأَمْرَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ إِلَيْهِin a Day, the extent of which is a thousand years
فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍthat between the earth and the lowest heaven is five hundred years, and the thickness of the heaven is five hundred years
أن بين الأرض والسماء الدنيا خمسمائة سنة، وأن كثف السماء خمسمائة سنةSo on this basis, it becomes five hundred and five hundred thousand.
As for al-Ma'arij, in Surat al-Ma'arij, that is in the Hereafter. For this reason, it appears to me that the statement of Blessed and Exalted is He:
during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years.
فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍfor a punishment bound to happen (2) To the disbelievers
بِعَذَابٍ وَاقِعٍ * لِلْكَافِرِينَThe angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him
تَعْرُجُ الْمَلائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ إِلَيْهHas not the revelation been sent down?
