Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Listen to the answer of the people of figurative interpretation. So the people of figurative interpretation said to them: "We know with certainty that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) came with the affirmation of the resurrection, and we have known the invalidity of the doubt that prevents it, so it is necessary to affirm its existence". End of quote.
Look, the answer is composed of an affirmation and a negation.
"We know with certainty". What does "with certainty" mean? It means that our knowledge of it is necessary, certain knowledge; there is no doubt in our minds that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came with the affirmation of the resurrection in the Book and in the Sunnah, and the evidence and proofs have been established for its affirmation.
"And we have known the invalidity of the doubt that prevents it". What is the doubt? The doubt is what their leader said:[Ya-Sin 36:78] This doubt, is this doubt invalid or not invalid? Huh? It is invalid, because we say [Ya-Sin 36:79] So the doubt that currently prevents saying it is a reality is invalid, so it is obligatory for us to say that it is a reality, right or not? Is this answer correct or not correct?
He says: "And this is a correct answer and a decisive argument that includes defending them in their not interpreting the texts of the resurrection figuratively, and compelling the people of imagination to affirm the resurrection and apply its texts to their realities, because when the evidence is established and the obstacle is removed, the affirmation of the indicated meaning is obligatory", and Allah knows best. Huh? How?

The Shaykh : And compelling?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, the texts of the resurrection and compelling the people of figurative interpretation.

Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?"
من يحيي العظام وهي رميمSay, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing."
يحييها الذي أنشأها أول مرة وهو بكل خلق عليمHe says: "And this is a correct answer and a decisive argument that includes defending them in their not interpreting the texts of the resurrection figuratively, and compelling the people of imagination to affirm the resurrection and apply its texts to their realities, because when the evidence is established and the obstacle is removed, the affirmation of the indicated meaning is obligatory", and Allah knows best.
