The benefits of the saying of Allah the Exalted: ((And the Day when the enemies of Allah will be gathered to the Fire, and they will be driven in groups. * Until, when they come to it, their hearing, their sight, and their skins will testify against them of what they used to do. * And they will say to their skins, "Why have you testified against us?" They will say, "Allah has made us speak, Who has made everything speak. And He created you the first time, and to Him you will be returned.))

In these verses there are benefits: First, the affirmation of the reality of the Fire, based on His saying:
And [mention, O Muhammad], the Day when the enemies of Allah will be gathered to the Fire ويوم يحشر أعداء الله إلى النار
[Fussilat 41:19]
.
Among the benefits of these verses is the affirmation of enemies of Allah, just as He has close friends of Allah. The enemy of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, is the one who is a disbeliever and a wicked sinner.
Among the benefits of these noble verses is that the people of the Fire are driven to the Fire in groups, meaning scattered as nations, based on His saying:
and they will be driven in groups فهم يوزعون
.
Among the benefits of the verse that follows is the affirmation of the reality of the Fire and that these people will reach it in reality, based on His saying:
Until, when they come to it حتى إذا ما جاءوها
.
Among its benefits is the inclusion of emphasis in the speech of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, based on His saying:
Until, when they come to it حتى إذا ما جاءوها
. Because we said:
notما
is an extra word, but it is for emphasis. If someone asks: The speech of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, is emphasized without a tool of emphasis, so what is the benefit of Allah the Exalted frequently using tools of emphasis in His speech? The answer is: The Qur'an is undoubtedly emphatic, and its reports do not need emphasis. But the Qur'an was revealed in a clear Arabic tongue, and the Arabic tongue requires that important speech be emphasized by various types of emphasis. Is that clear? So, the emphasis of what is emphasized in the Qur'an is proof of the Qur'an's eloquence in its highest meanings, in that it follows what? It follows the rules of formal Arabic grammar.
Among the benefits of this noble verse is the affirmation of speech for the hearing, the sight, and the skins, based on His saying:
testified against them شهِدَ عليهم
. Testimony is done by speech, and it may be done by other than speech, but originally it is by speech. Therefore, they said to their skins, "Why did you testify against us?" They said, "Allah has made us speak."
Among the benefits of this noble verse is that the limbs of a person will be his adversaries on the Day of Resurrection. The reason for this is that these people denied that their hearing, sight, and skins testified against them. What do you think, O brother, of limbs that will be adversaries to you on the Day of Resurrection? So, the obligatory thing for you, meaning this branches out into a benefit, is that it is obligatory for a person to care for these limbs with the right care and not to involve them in what will make them adversaries to him on the Day of Resurrection.
Among the benefits of this noble verse is that the limbs, individually, know their Lord, Mighty and Majestic, based on their saying:
We were made to speak by Allah, who has made everything speak أنطقنا الله الذي أنطقَ كلَّ شيء
[Fussilat 41:21]
.
Among its benefits is the generality of the power of Allah the Exalted, based on His saying:
who has made everything speak أنطق كل شيء
[Fussilat 41:21]
.
Among its benefits is that the beginning of creation is from Allah. No one has associated the Lord of the worlds in creation, neither a mother nor a father, nor a ruler, nor a president, nor a minister. The One who is alone in creation is Allah, Mighty and Majestic.
Among the benefits of the noble verse is the use of rational evidence in the Qur'an, and that reasoning {Ayub, do you want to straighten me out, my brother? I see you are confusing me
The student: I am not revealing

The Shaykh : No, you are not in the meaning I know. The person who is present from the person... a person who combs his beard and is heedless, is it said: this is one who is present in heart? This does not happen. It is narrated from 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he saw a man fiddling with his beard in his prayer, so he said: If the heart of this man had been humble, his limbs would have been humble. So, either you seek another place other than this, or you are, meaning, a true student. } So we say: In this is proof of the permissibility of using rational evidence. From where is it taken? From the reasoning of Allah the Exalted from the beginning to the end, for this is a rational proof. If someone asks: Do you prioritize rational evidence over transmitted evidence? The answer is: No, because the intellect may err, and a person may think that this is intellect when it is not intellect. As for the established transmitted evidence from Allah and His Messenger, this does not err. For this reason, those who used the intellect and prioritized it over hearing and transmission in matters concerning Allah and the Last Day erred, and they judged with their limited intellects on matters of the unseen as impossibility, obligation, or permissibility, and they turned away from the texts of the Book and the Sunnah. Among these are all the theologians, the Asha'irah, the Mu'tazilah, the Jahmiyyah, and others, who made the reception of matters concerning the names and attributes of Allah based on reliance on the intellect.
Among the benefits of the noble verse is the affirmation of returning to Allah, Mighty and Majestic. So prepare for this return and know that you will meet your Lord. But rejoice if you are a believer. Allah the Exalted said:
And fear Allah and know that you will meet Him. And give good tidings to the believers. واتقوا الله واعلموا أنكم ملاقوه وبشِّر المؤمنين
[Al-Baqarah 2:223]
meaning the believer should not fear this meeting, but he has glad tidings in this world before the Hereafter. But the reality of this glad tidings is specific to the believer. And the rest of the speech on the benefits will come, if Allah wills. Yes.
