The questioner : Shaykh, in the Qur'an, if something like [Ash-Shuraa 42:53] is mentioned, is this a question form?
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : Is this style a question form or not?
The Shaykh : No, no, “ala” is for attention; it is a tool for opening.
The questioner : Opening.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : And its grammatical parsing, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : Is it just a particle?
The Shaykh : A particle, a particle for attention and opening, yes?
Unquestionably, to Allah do [all] matters evolve.
