And it is derived from the noble verse the establishment of the message and prophethood of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), due to His saying:
The student: [Al-Ahzab: 2]
The Shaykh : Due to His saying: [Al-Ahzab: 2] And from the first verse: Yes.
And it is derived from the noble verse that Allah the Exalted has a specific lordship regarding the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), due to His saying: And it has passed us by many times that lordship is of two types and servitude is of two types: general lordship and specific lordship. So an example of general lordship is [Maryam: 65]. Is this general or specific? General. And an example of the specific is like this verse: And the two types came together in the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-A'raf: 121-122]. And likewise, servitude is general and specific. So the general is like the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Ghafir: 44], which is general, and the specific is [Al-Isra: 1], where the intended meaning is the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
And it is derived from the noble verse that the knowledge of Allah the Exalted encompasses the hidden matters, due to His saying: [Al-Ahzab: 2]. And it is derived from it a warning to the person against disobedience.
The student: ...?
The Shaykh : We do not say a warning to the person against disobedience.
The student: ...?
The Shaykh : Because this necessitates that we do not disobey Allah as long as we know that He is Acquainted with what we do. So it is not possible for us to disobey Allah the Mighty and Majestic. It is clear, like if I said, for example, "Go, and I know what you are doing." What is the intent of this? It is a threat and a warning against disobedience. So every text in which Allah clarifies that He knows what we do is a warning to us against disobeying Him. It comes here because there is no one.
