Assalamu alaikum. This ayah in,

00:00:03 --> 00:00:04

chapter 5682,

00:00:05 --> 00:00:08

Surah Waka. When Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala speaks

00:00:08 --> 00:00:09

about his favors

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

to everyone, to believers and disbelievers,

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14

and he talks about the fact that he

00:00:14 --> 00:00:16

created them, he provides for them, and so

00:00:16 --> 00:00:17

on and so forth, and he is the

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

one who is able to do everything.

00:00:20 --> 00:00:21

Then when he says,

00:00:23 --> 00:00:26

He's talking to the deniers of Allah Subhanahu

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

Wa Ta'ala. Those who either don't believe in

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

him or those who don't worship him, he

00:00:30 --> 00:00:33

created them and they worship someone else.

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

And he provides for them and they thank

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

someone else. So Allah

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

is is reproaching them and he's telling them

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

A lot of translators, they misunderstand this verse

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49

and they say, Do you make a living

00:00:49 --> 00:00:50

out of your disbelief?

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

This is not the right way of understanding

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

the verse. The right way is,

00:00:55 --> 00:00:55

do you return,

00:00:57 --> 00:00:58

the favors of Allah

00:00:59 --> 00:01:02

or respond to them by denial, this is

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

not the right way to pay him back

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

for his favors.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

So the actual meaning of the ayah, do

00:01:09 --> 00:01:10

not repay Allah

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13

back for all these favors with denial because

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14

this is ingratitude.

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

This is the right meaning of the verse.
