How to reconcile the verse: “So how will it be when We gather them for a Day of which there is no doubt” with the verse
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The Shaykh said: [Ali 'Imran 3:25] And He said: [Al-Mumtahanah 60:3] How?
The Shaykh : “On the Day of Resurrection We will separate you” means We will judge between you, and then the separation will occur. So the people will first all gather in the gathering place, and then they will be separated, with one group in Paradise and another group in the Blazing Fire.
The questioner : He said:[Al-Mumtahanah 60:3] But a hadith indicates that a child can benefit his father, such as a memorizer of the Qur'an; does he benefit?
The Shaykh : This is addressed to the disbelievers. It is addressed to the believers, meaning: do not show affection to the disbelievers, and do not take them as allies, for that will not benefit them.
So how will it be when We assemble them for a Day about which there is no doubt
فكيف إذا جمعناهم ليوم لاريب فيهNever will your relatives or your children benefit you; the Day of Resurrection He will judge between you
لن تنفعكم أرحامكم ولا أولادكم يوم القيمة يفصل بينكمThe Shaykh : “On the Day of Resurrection We will separate you” means We will judge between you, and then the separation will occur. So the people will first all gather in the gathering place, and then they will be separated, with one group in Paradise and another group in the Blazing Fire.
The questioner : He said:
