00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			You know, I attend a lot of, you
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:04
			know, gatherings, interfaith gatherings, whatnot.
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			A lot of times Muslims
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			will get up on stage and
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			give their own kind of personal
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13
			tafsir of the Quran. Right? It's very common,
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			for example, with verse
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			number 62.
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			Right?
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32
			So whoever whoever believes, those who believe, those
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			who are Jews and Christians,
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			those who are Sabians,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			anyone who believes in Allah the last day
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			will have the reward. They shall not grieve
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			nor shall they fear.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			So this verse is quoted a lot, like
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			interfaith audiences.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			And people get the wrong idea that,
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			you know, we're a perennialist type of religion
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			that you can believe whatever you want and
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			you you have to go to Jenna. It
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			doesn't matter.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			It's just a wrong understanding of the ayah,
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:03
			because
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			Allah says,
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			This is in the past tense.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			Whoever had already believed and became Muslim. That's
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			one way of looking at it. Or is
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:13
			a
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			conditional statement,
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			whoever should become Muslim in the future.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			Right? So there's nuances in Arabic
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			that people need to study,
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			and they should tap into what the actual
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			Mufasaileen actually say about the Quran. So this
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			is why the Sahaba and Tabi'in were actually
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			very cautious
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			about this type of tafsir.
