The benefits of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “Say: Our Lord will gather us together, then He will judge between us with the truth, and He is the Opener, the All-Knowing”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Then Allah the Exalted said:
Say, "Our Lord will bring us together; then He will judge between us in truth. And He is the Knowing Judge." قُلْ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَنَا رَبُّنَا ثُمَّ يَفْتَحُ بَيْنَنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَهُوَ الْفَتَّاحُ الْعَلِيمُ
[Saba 34:26]
In this verse is the affirmation of the Resurrection and the gathering, due to His saying:
Say, "Our Lord will bring us together; then He will judge between us قُلْ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَنَا رَبُّنَا ثُمَّ يَفْتَحُ بَيْنَنَا
[Saba 34:26]
Now, this gathering is affirmed by the saying of Allah the Exalted:
The Day He will assemble you for the Day of Assembly - that is the Day of Deprivation يَوْمَ يَجْمَعُكُمْ لِيَوْمِ الْجَمْعِ ذَلِكَ يَوْمُ التَّغَابُنِ
[Al-Taghābun: 9]. It also includes the gathering in this world and fighting, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted:
in that which We sent down to Our Servant on the day of criterion - the day when the two armies met وَمَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى عَبْدِنَا يَوْمَ الْفُرْقَانِ يَوْمَ الْتَقَى الْجَمْعَانِ
[Al-Anfāl: 41]. Yes, indeed.
And among the benefits of the noble verse is the refutation of the Qadariyyah, due to His saying:
Our Lord will bring us together يجمع بيننا ربنا
[Saba 34:26]
It is known that our gathering is from our action, so Allah attributed it to Himself because He is the One who manages it, the One who decrees it, Glorified and Exalted is He.
The student: .......

The Shaykh : According to the second opinion, it is in this world, yes.
And among the benefits of the noble verse is that the ruling of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, is entirely truth and justice, due to His saying:
then He will judge between us in truth ثم يفتح بيننا بالحق
[Saba 34:26]
meaning with justice in which there is no oppression or injustice.
And among the benefits of the noble verse is the affirmation of what the people of the Sunnah and the community have established, which is that if the name of Allah is transitive, faith in it is not complete except by believing in it as a name, and in the attribute it contains, and in the effect and ruling it contains, due to His saying:
He will judge between us يفتح بيننا
Then He said after that:
and He is the Opener وهو الفتاح
So this indicates that the transitive names of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, contain the rulings and effects that follow from them.
And among the benefits of the noble verse is the affirmation of two of the names of Allah, which are
the Opener, the All-Knowing الفتاح العليم
And as mentioned previously in the explanation, al-Fattah (the Opener) includes many meanings: opening by victory, by knowledge, by understanding, by good intention, and by others, meaning that it is a comprehensive name.
And among its benefits is the affirmation of knowledge for Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, due to His saying:
the Knowing العليم
And that it is an attribute of His established and necessary attributes, because He is described with it eternally and forever in the Book in which my Lord does not err and does not forget.
And among the benefits of the noble verse is the warning of the disputants with the certain recompense, due to His saying:
Say قل
...
Say, "Our Lord will bring us together; then He will judge between us قل يجمع بيننا ربنا ثم يفتح بيننا
[Saba 34:26]
Because this includes a warning, because we know that if Allah opens between them, the truth will be with whom? With the Muslims. Now, by this we know the ambiguity in His saying:
And indeed, we or you are either upon guidance وإنا أو إياكم لعلى هدى
[Saba 34:24]
Who are those who are on guidance? They are the Muslims, and those are on misguidance. Because if someone said the verse contains ambiguity,
And indeed, we or you are either upon guidance وإنا أو إياكم لعلى هدى
[Saba 34:24]
Now we do not know what is on guidance, we say those who are on guidance are those whom Allah opens for and grants victory over their enemies with the truth.
