The Shaykh : And his statement: "And they do not distort the names of Allah or His verses"
"They do not distort" is a present tense verb from the root *al-hada*, which is a quadriliteral root. In the language, *al-ihdad* means deviation or inclination. The letters lam, ha, and dal all revolve around the concept of inclination. Hence, the inclined side of a grave is called *al-lahd*, because it is inclined to one side, whereas the middle part is called *al-shaq*. The *lahd* is better than the *shaq*. Therefore, they do not distort the names of Allah, nor do they distort the verses of Allah. The author (may Allah have mercy on him) has informed us that distortion occurs in two places: in the names and in the verses. Look at the author's words: "In the names of Allah and in His verses". We say, yes, this is what the author's words imply, and the Qur'an has indicated it. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-A'raf 7:180] Thus, Allah affirmed distortion in what? In the names. And He the Exalted said: [Fussilat 41:40] Thus, Allah affirmed distortion in the verses. It is clear. Good.
