Is the statement of Allah the Exalted: “Have We not expanded for you your chest?” general for everyone who has guided himself to Islam?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, we divided the address in the statement of Allah the Exalted: [Ali 'Imran 3:12] into three categories. Then we said it is a specific address to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and we cited as an example the statement of Allah the Exalted: [Ash-Sharh 94:1] “Have We not expanded for you your chest?” Is this general for everyone, such that if he is guided, his chest is expanded for Islam?
The Shaykh : No, no, no, because Islam here is for confirmation.[Ash-Sharh 94:2] [Ash-Sharh 94:4] This is specific to the Messenger.
Say to those who disbelieve
قل للذين كفرواDid We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?
ألم نشرح لك صدركThe Shaykh : No, no, no, because Islam here is for confirmation.
