Explanation of the author's statement and his saying: (If We had sent down this Qur'an upon a mountain, you would have seen it humbled and broken to pieces from fear of Allah)

The Shaykh : Allah Mighty and Majestic says:
This is the beginning of today's lesson.
The student: O Shaykh, we did not mention ... the speech ...

The Shaykh : We only mentioned it previously when we spoke about the attribute of speech, that speech is an attribute of action in terms of its consideration.
The student: Its singular form.

The Shaykh : Its singular form is an attribute of essence in terms of its origin. Did we not mention this, O people?
The student: Yes, we mentioned it.

The Shaykh : We said He speaks however He wills, whenever He wills, with whatever He wills. Yes, that is correct.
He said: Allah is the Greatest. The mountain is among the hardest things, and the stones from which mountains are formed are the paragon of hardness. Allah the Exalted said: If this Qur'an were to descend upon a mountain, you would see it, meaning you would see this mountain, humbled and broken to pieces from fear of Allah. Humbled and submissive, and from the intensity of its fear of Allah, it would be broken, split, and cracked from fear of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. And it is being revealed to our hearts, and our hearts, unless Allah wills, become hidden, they become hidden, they harden, they do not open up. Those who believe, when the verses are revealed to them, it increases them
The student: In faith.

The Shaykh : In faith. And those in whose hearts is disease, it increases them
The student: In disease.

The Shaykh : In filth upon their filth, and I seek refuge in Allah from that. The meaning of that is that their hearts become more rigid and harder, and they increase in filth upon their filth. We seek refuge in Allah from that. This Qur'an, if it were to descend upon a mountain, the mountain would break and be humbled from the greatness of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, because the speech of Allah descended upon it. And in this is evidence that the mountain has a sensation. The mountain has a sensation because
The student: It breaks.

The Shaykh : Yes, it is humbled and it breaks, and the matter is such that mountains have a sensation. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding Uhud: And with this hadith we know the refutation of those who affirm metaphor in the Qur'an, and those who always raise their knowledge with this verse: They say, why? How does the wall want? Does the wall have a will?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : He says, O, glorified is Allah! The Lord of the creatures says: And you say it does not want. What is this speech? Is this reasonable? You do not say how it wants. Say, Allah is the Greatest. How great is the power of Allah. A wall has a will, yes, because our Lord says
The student: It wants to collapse.

The Shaykh : What? How do we say it does not want? Yes, have we been given knowledge of everything? No, we have not been given of the knowledge
The student: Except a little.

The Shaykh : Except a little. And He told us who knows the unseen and the witnessed, He said: So how is it permissible for us to say there is no will for the wall, and it does not want to collapse? You have understood. And this is among the harms of metaphor, among the harms of saying metaphor, that such verses are denied and it is said, how does it want? Well, does not Allah say: Yes, He says so?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : Well, do they glorify without a will?
The student: No.

The Shaykh : He says: The lam is for specification, so it is sincere. And is sincerity conceivable without a will?
The student: No.

The Shaykh : So it wants. Everything wants. Everything wants, because Allah says: And I think it is not hidden from us all that this is among the forms of generality. In is a negator. A thing is an indefinite noun in the context of negation. The important point: I say that the noble verse: indicates that the mountain has
The student: Will.

The Shaykh : A sensation, and that if the great Qur'an were to descend upon it, it would be humbled and broken to pieces from fear of Allah. It appeared, it became manifest. And some scholars said that only a very small, very slight part of it became manifest when its Lord appeared to the mountain, without speaking, Glorified and Exalted is He. What happened?
The student: He made it crumble.

The Shaykh : He made it crumbled. This great mountain was crumbled, the stone, the rock, was crumbled, it became dust. When Musa saw what he saw, he was unable to remain in his nature. Because he saw a matter, a matter, he was unable to bear remaining in his state because of what he saw. I say, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: So, O my Muslim brother, if you see that your heart is not affected by the Qur'an, then examine yourself, because Allah says this Qur'an, if it were to descend upon a mountain, it would break, and your heart is being recited the Qur'an. And I ask Allah to help me and you. Our hearts, the Qur'an descends upon them and they do not break, but rather they may increase in hardness, they become rigid. And all of that is from our negligence on one hand, and from our deficiency on the other hand. From our negligence, because we do not try to contemplate the Qur'an or reflect upon it. And from our deficiency, because we do not know what is in this Qur'an of great eloquence, warning, and admonitions that affect everyone who reads it with contemplation. And I ask Allah to protect me and you, and to make our actions a confirmation of our words.
Yes, He, Glorified and Exalted is He, says: Well, the point of this hadith is His saying: which indicates that the Qur'an is revealed.
