The benefits of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “No falsehood comes to it from before it or from after it; a revelation from the Wise, the Praiseworthy.”

Among the benefits of this noble verse is that the Noble Qur'an is truth, and falsehood is removed from it in every respect, as He said: . Is this attribute of the Qur'an one of the attributes of negation or one of the attributes of affirmation?
The students: Negation.

The Shaykh : Yes, it is negation. So what affirmation does it contain? We say: If falsehood is removed from it in every respect, from before it and from after it, then it necessarily follows that it is truth in every respect. Yes.
Among the benefits of this noble verse is that the Qur'an is the speech of Allah. This is taken from His saying: . The way it is the speech of Allah is that the Qur'an is an attribute, not an independent, separate entity. If it is an attribute and Allah mentioned that it was revealed from Him, then it must be His speech. However, if the thing that Allah mentioned He revealed were a specific entity separate from Allah, that would not indicate that it is one of the attributes of Allah. Is this water created or is it one of the attributes of Allah? It is created. It is created, because it is a thing separate from Allah. It is created. But if the revelation or sending down is regarding a matter that is an attribute, it cannot be a created thing separate from Allah; rather, it is one of the attributes of Allah.
Among the benefits of this noble verse is the affirmation of the exaltation of Allah. The evidence for this is that He said: . And if it is a revelation from Him, then it must be above Him, Mighty and Majestic, and so it is. We have mentioned often, and others have also mentioned, that the exaltation of Allah the Exalted is established by all the evidence, namely: the Book, the Sunnah, scholarly consensus, reason, and the innate natural disposition. All of them agree on the exaltation of Allah.
Among the benefits of this noble verse is the affirmation of these two names for Allah, Mighty and Majestic: al-Hakim (the Wise) and al-Hamid (the Praiseworthy), and the affirmation of the meanings and attributes they contain. It contains two great attributes, brother? The one behind you, come on, you? It contains two great attributes, which are? Come on, brother? This one behind you, pay attention... come on, what does he say? Come on, Amin, the body is present but the heart is absent, Amin.
The student: Me?

The Shaykh : Yes, you... al-Hakim contains two great attributes from the attributes of Allah. What are they?
The student: ... Wise, Ruler.

The Shaykh : That is, Wise in terms of wisdom and Wise in terms of ruling, so He is a Ruler possessing wisdom. We mentioned in the exegesis that among people there is one who is wise but not a ruler, and among people there is one who is a ruler but not wise, and among people there is one who is neither a ruler nor wise, and among people there is one who is a wise ruler. So the categories are four.
Now, among the benefits of this noble verse is also that it is not permissible for anyone to legislate a law from his own opinion. Come on, Fawad, where do you take this from?
The student: ......

The Shaykh : Error.
The student: Wise, Praiseworthy?
The Shaykh: No, you see, the whole verse is not suitable.
The student: By His saying:

The Shaykh : With which of the two meanings, Ruler or Wisdom?
The student: From Ruler.

The Shaykh : From Ruler, well done. Because from ruling is the judgment between people. Judgment is either a ruling concerning people or a ruling between people. So it is not permissible for anyone to judge between people except with what Allah has revealed, because judgment belongs to Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Is that clear? But as for judgment belonging to Allah, is it permissible for us to exceed the limit of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, in judging someone as an open sinner, an innovator, a disbeliever, a believer, or having sound creed, except with evidence from the Shari'ah? It is not permissible for us except with evidence from the Shari'ah. That means we cannot say: this is a disbeliever, this is an open sinner, this is an innovator, this is a believer, this has sound creed, unless we present what he is upon to the Book and the Sunnah. Otherwise, if they followed their desires instead of the truth, the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them would have been corrupted.
Among the benefits of this noble verse is that Allah the Exalted is Praiseworthy. Praiseworthy based on what?
The student: ... This is an active participle.

The Shaykh : Wrong, ... a slip of the tongue. Now, so it is based on the fact that is a passive participle. Good.
