Explanation of the author's statement and his saying: (And when We replace a verse with another, and Allah knows best what He sends down, they say, "You are only inventing lies. But most of them do not know") - (Say,

The Shaykh : And He, Mighty and Majestic, said: meaning We made a verse in place of a verse, and this is a reference to abrogation If Allah abrogates a verse and makes another verse in its place, whether He abrogates it in wording or abrogates it
The student: in ruling

The Shaykh : in ruling, he said: This parenthetical phrase is among the most beautiful things in this position, meaning that our replacing a verse with another is not foolishness or idle play, but rather it proceeds from knowledge of what is best for creation, so we replace a verse with another because of our knowledge that that is what?
The student: better

The Shaykh : better for creation and more beneficial for them, and for this reason he said: In it is also another benefit, that this replacement is not from the work of the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, yes, but rather it is from Allah, who sent it down with His knowledge and replaced a verse with another with His knowledge, not from you, O Messenger. What is the answer?
The student: Say, "It is not for me to replace it

The Shaykh : Did he answer part of their speech and leave part? And he did not say, "Nor will I bring a Qur'an other than it." Why? Because he may bring a verse in place of a verse, but replacement from me is not possible, yes. Well, the important point is that the One who replaces a verse with another, whether its wording or its ruling, is Allah. To whom is the address?
The student: To Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him

The Shaykh : To Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. Meaning a liar, a liar, meaning you bring us a verse today and you bring us a verse tomorrow, this is lying, this indicates that you are lying, yesterday you tell us this and today you tell us this, this is lying. But this statement they make in response to his bringing a verse in place of a verse is a statement of foolishness, and if they had looked deeply, they would have known with certainty that the One who brings a verse in place of a verse, that indicates his truthfulness, because a liar fears with the utmost fear to bring speech that contradicts his first speech, fearing that he will be exposed for
The student: his lie

The Shaykh : for his lie, so if he were a liar as they claim, and this is a sign of lying, he would not bring something that contradicts the first, because if he brought something that contradicts the first, in their opinion, it would reveal
The student: his lie

The Shaykh : it would reveal his lie, rather, his bringing what contradicts the first is evidence of
The student: his truthfulness

The Shaykh : What is it for him? For his truthfulness, without a doubt. And for this reason he said here: Is this a refutation and negation, or a transition?
The student: Refutation

The Shaykh : Yes. Meaning, rather, I am not a fabricator, but most of them do not know. And if they had been among those with knowledge, they would have known that if a verse is replaced with another, then that is evidence of what?
The student: truthfulness

The Shaykh : Yes, of the truthfulness of the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him. Do you not know, O group, that replacing a verse with another is evidence of truthfulness and not of lying?
The student: truthfulness

The Shaykh : Of truthfulness, because a liar fears with the utmost fear to bring what contradicts his first speech. Is that clear? Allah the Exalted said: Allah is the Greatest. From whom?
The student: From Allah.

The Shaykh : From Allah, from your Lord, and the Holy Spirit is Jibril, and He described him with that because of his purity from betrayal, peace and blessings be upon him. And for this reason, in another verse He said: Here He said: meaning purity from betrayal. Yes, He says: And He did not say as a reference to the specific lordship, the lordship of Allah for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, the most specific of the specific lordships, or not?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : Well, for what reason did He say: in truth? Either it is a description of the one who sent it down or of what was sent down. Do you know the difference? Either it is a description of the one who sent it down or of what was sent down. For the one who sent it down, it means that its sending down is truth and not a lie. For what was sent down, it means that what he brought is
The student: Truth.

The Shaykh : truth. Which of the two meanings?
The student: Both.

The Shaykh : Both. It is truth from Allah, and it was sent down in truth. Allah the Exalted said: Yes. With what? O Allah, make us among them.
The student: Amen.

The Shaykh : This is an explanation and a great fruit: it makes firm those who believe in it, it enables them to the truth and strengthens them upon it. Good news, how? Because it contains good news for the believers. Good news, because whoever acts upon it and submits to it, that is evidence that he is among the people of goodness. Allah the Exalted said: And for this reason, a person should be glad when he sees goodness in himself and steadfastness upon it and turning toward it. He should be glad, because this is good news for him. When the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, informed his companions, he said: What did the Companions say? قالوا: أفلا ندع العمل ونتكل قال : لا اعملوا فكل ميسر لما خُلق له ثم قرأ فأما من أعطى وأتقى وصدق بالحسنى فسنيسره لليسرى وأما من بخل واستغنى وكذب بالحسنى فسنيسره للعسرى They said: "Shall we then abandon our deeds and rely [on fate]?" He said: "No, work, for everyone is facilitated for that for which he was created." Then he recited: "So as for he who gives and fears Allah and believes in the good, We will make easy for him the easy. And as for he who withholds and considers himself self-sufficient, and denies the good, We will make easy for him the difficult" So if you see in yourself that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has bestowed upon you guidance, success, righteous deeds, and love of goodness and the people of goodness, then rejoice, for this is evidence of what? Yes, that you are among the people of the left hand, for whom happiness has been written. And for this reason He said: Yes. He did not say "We have known," He said because their saying is renewed, so expressing it in the present tense was better than expressing it
The student: in the past tense

The Shaykh : in the past tense. If He had said "We have known," it would occur to the minds of some people that We knew that they said that. But that they say, as He, the Exalted, said: The constriction of the chest of the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, was it previous or did it not cease?
The student: It did not cease

The Shaykh : It did not cease. Yes, meaning
The student: in the future

The Shaykh : in the future, meaning that they will turn away in the future, so Allah knows them. Quraysh said that this Qur'an which Muhammad brings, one of them knows it, he knows the Qur'an, he relates to him from the stories of the former peoples, as they claim. And he comes and says that this is from Allah - I seek refuge in Allah - they claimed that it is the speech of humans, and the strange thing is that they claim that it is the speech of a human and it is said and are they able?
The student: No.

The Shaykh : They are not able. Well, you are humans, you are the princes of eloquence and eloquent princes, why do you not bring something like it? They are not able. They say that Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him - they do not say peace and blessings be upon him, yes - they say that Muhammad receives the Qur'an from this human. The human is a blacksmith, the Messenger used to sit with him in Makkah, he used to sit with him in an ordinary sitting, and he teaches him, and he comes and tells us this Qur'an. Yes, what is the answer? He said: And for this reason we stop at the word You must stop, because if you connect the meaning is not clarified, so stop. The response to them: They incline, meaning they lean, because their statement is a lean away from the correct, far from the correct. The scholars said that the foreigner (al-'ajami) is the one who does not speak with clarity, and the foreigner (al-'ajami) without the hamza is the one who does not speak Arabic. Did you understand the difference?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : Foreigner (ajami) means he does not speak Arabic, foreigner (ajami) does not speak with clarity, whether Arab or non-Arab. The tongue of the one to whom they incline is foreign, he does not speak with clarity, he does not speak with clear Arabic. He said: Allah is the Greatest, Arabic. Clear, or eloquent and clear? It is all clear in itself, clear to others, Arabic speech, the most eloquent speech. How does it come from this foreign speech, from this foreign man whose tongue is foreign and who does not speak with clarity?
Yes, and some scholars said that the foreigner (ajami) is the one who speaks foreign languages, even if the person is not a foreigner (ajami). Yes, but the first is the known among most of the eloquent, the people of language.
Well, what is the point of these verses? His saying: For it is in clear, eloquent Arabic letters, but the author left the verse after it because there is no point in it, but it is beneficial. So those who do not believe in the verses of Allah, Allah does not guide them - I seek refuge in Allah - guidance is blocked for them, and in this is a reference to what was mentioned earlier, which is that you believe so that you may be guided, or you believe and you find guidance. Did you understand? Well.
This reality has a benefit in many things, meaning people have started to ask about it regarding the attributes of Allah, for example, how does He descend to the lowest heaven while He is in the height? What do we say to him? If you believe, you will be guided. If you believe that He descends in reality, you will know that this is not impossible, because in one aspect of
The student: Allah

The Shaykh : In the case of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), nothing is like Him. For example, the verse mentioned a moment ago, , says, "How does he want it? He wants to demolish the wall." We should say, "Believe, and you will be guided." Believe in Allah? Say, "Yes." The wall is there to make it clear to you that this is not strange. This is a principle that should be fundamental for you: believe, and you will be guided. And the Qur'an remains for them as blindness, may Allah protect us from that, and they are unable to be guided by it. We ask Allah for guidance for us and for you.

The questioner : Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Look, there is no question now, and not after the prayer either.
And blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. We have previously mentioned the verses cited by the author (may Allah have mercy on him) to explain the belief of the people of the Sunnah and the community regarding the speech of Allah, the Qur'an. Their belief in this is that the Qur'an is the speech of their Lord, revealed, not created, from which it began and to which it returns. Among these is His saying, the Exalted: to the end. So what is the benefit of this parenthetical phrase? Abdullah Zidan.
The student: Establishing that the Qur'an has been revealed. This is the first point.

The Shaykh : The benefit of the parenthetical phrase
The student: Establishing abrogation... for a wisdom.

The Shaykh : Yes, establishing that the change comes from knowledge of what is more beneficial and better for the servants. Allah does not replace one verse with another just like that, in foolishness, but rather with complete knowledge for the benefit of the servants.
What is meant by the Holy Spirit? Alian.
The student: Jibril

The Shaykh : And why was it described as the Holy Spirit? It is a title. Why was it titled the Holy Spirit?
The student: Because of its purity from betrayal.

The Shaykh : Yes, His saying Muhammad, and what does mean?
The student: That it is truly true in its revelation and true in what was revealed through it.

The Shaykh : Yes, that is right. It is true in its revelation and in what was revealed through it. Now, what is the evidence?
The student: The evidence is His saying, the Exalted:

The Shaykh : Yes
The student: ....
