Is the reciter of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "And the sky and the star that comes down" considered to have sworn by what Allah swore by?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. At the beginning of the tafsir of the saying of Allah the Exalted: Indeed, Allah the Mighty and Majestic swore by the sky, so when we recite, we say: "And the sky." Is this considered an oath?
The Shaykh : Do you say?
The questioner : During the recitation, we say: "And the sky" in the saying of Allah the Exalted, that Allah the Mighty and Majestic swore Yes.
The Shaykh : Swore by the sky?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : He said:.
The questioner : So when we recite, we say: What is this considered? Is it an oath, and what is the criterion in this?
The Shaykh : Recitation of the Qur'an.
The questioner : Recitation.
The Shaykh : Yes, this is recitation of the speech that the Mighty and Majestic spoke. If I wanted to swear now, to swear by the sky and the star that comes down, I would say: "By the sky and the star that comes down, so-and-so is present," for example. That would be forbidden. But if I recite it, I am informing about what Allah swore by.
The questioner : Yes, is it considered a report?
The Shaykh : Do you understand? It is a report, there is nothing wrong with it. But if I wanted to swear by it now, anew, I would say: "By the sky and the star that comes down, so-and-so is certainly present." That would be forbidden, because swearing by other than Allah is shirk (associating partners with Allah).
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
