00:00:01 --> 00:00:04 
			This is a a stylistic issue when people
00:00:04 --> 00:00:05 
			translate the Quran.
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07 
			When we use the word
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08 
			in our daily,
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10 
			speech. If I say for example,
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12 
			and Azuraka.
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13 
			Perhaps,
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14 
			maybe,
00:00:15 --> 00:00:15 
			possibly,
00:00:16 --> 00:00:16 
			probably,
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19 
			I would come and visit you.
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21 
			Because I don't know. Maybe my car will
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24 
			break down. Maybe I will die. Maybe something
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26 
			will happen. Maybe you will travel. You know?
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29 
			So there's always a chance that I'm not
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30 
			able to do it and this is why
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33 
			when we use or we use the word
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36 
			perhaps or maybe. But when we speak about
00:00:36 --> 00:00:36 
			Allah
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38 
			or Allah
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41 
			says something about himself and he says,
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47 
			in Surah 9, at Tawba, aya 109.
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49 
			Aya 102.
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51 
			Surah 9102.
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53 
			When Allah
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54 
			speaks about,
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57 
			this group of people in in Surah Ta'ba
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00 
			chapter 9, they did something wrong, they repented,
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02 
			and they asked Allah for forgiveness, and Allah
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03 
			subhanahu wa ta'ala says, When
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09 
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says that,
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12 
			I will forgive this person,
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14 
			so we shouldn't use the word perhaps
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17 
			because what is suitable for Allah
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19 
			when he says perhaps I will do this
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20 
			to you
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22 
			or I will give you this reward, it's
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24 
			a fact, 100%,
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26 
			you will get it. There's no chances here.
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29 
			So if Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says we
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32 
			shouldn't use the word perhaps or maybe
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34 
			we should use the word,
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37 
			it is right to hope that Allah will
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38 
			forgive them. I think this is a better
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41 
			translation because now we know for sure that
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43 
			Allah will forgive them. If Allah promises someone
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46 
			to do something, He will do it because
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48 
			nothing can stop him. So, this is why
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49 
			we should use,
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51 
			it is right to hope that Allah will
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53 
			forgive them and we shouldn't use the word
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56 
			perhaps or maybe because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58 
			you know, nothing is impossible for him. Thank
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59 
			you.
