The benefits of the saying of Allah the Exalted: ((And he had no authority over them except that We might know who believes in the Hereafter and who is in doubt about it. And your Lord is a Guardian over all things))

Among the benefits of this noble verse is the affirmation of the knowledge of Allah, based on His saying: The connection of the knowledge of Allah the Exalted to existing things was previously mentioned by us yesterday as being divided into two categories: its connection to them before their existence, and its connection to them after their existence. The connection after their existence means that His knowledge of them is knowledge of a realized fact, while the first means that His knowledge of them is knowledge of what will occur. This resolves the issue in such a verse, where its apparent meaning suggests the novelty of the knowledge of Allah the Exalted and Exalted. For we know that Allah the Exalted and Exalted encompasses everything with eternal and perpetual knowledge. And whoever thinks that Allah does not know a thing except after its existence has committed disbelief. Yes.
Among the benefits of this noble verse is the affirmation of the Hereafter and the obligation of believing in it. It is taken from... I see this brother, the apparent meaning is clear. From where is it taken?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : And what are you thinking about? Okay, so there is the affirmation of the Hereafter and the obligation of believing in it. Yes.
Among the benefits of this noble verse is that doubt in what requires certainty is disbelief, based on His saying: He did not say "whoever denies it," because you might say that the apparent situation is that when He said "believes," He was saying that the one before it disbelieves in the Hereafter. But He said: So that we might benefit from it, which is that doubt in what requires certainty is like denial, which is disbelief. Yes.
Among the benefits of this noble verse is the generality of the care and surveillance of Allah over everything. It is taken from... O Fahd, from where?
The student :

The Shaykh : Correct.
Among its benefits is that the lordship of Allah the Mighty and Majestic is divided into specific and general, yes, and the specific is divided into more specific and specific, based on His saying: This is a more specific lordship than the specific one, for the lordship of Allah the Mighty and Majestic for His special servants, such as the prophets, is more specific than His lordship for the general believers, yes, and His lordship for the believers is more specific than His lordship for the general people. Look at [Surat al-Naml: 91] Is it specific or general?
The student :

The Shaykh : O brothers, the Lord of this city is specific. How is it general? After that, since the specific lordship here might suggest the exclusivity of His lordship for this city, after this He said: General. Okay.
