The questioner : What are the emphatic elements in the word "wa-laqad" in the saying of the Exalted: [Al-Ma'idah 5:70] We said there are three emphatic elements?
The Shaykh : Yes! The lam, the qad, and the oath, because the implied meaning of the statement is: "By Allah, indeed..."
The Shaykh : What is the necessary control, what is without necessity? If this Shari'ah is from Allah (Mighty and Majestic), then He is All-Knowing, as we said that these legislations are not something humans can produce.
We had already taken the covenant of the Children of Israel
