Shadee Elmasry – The Two Types of Quran Verses Explained – Muhkam and Mutashabih

The source of all the rulings are the ayat that are called muaz and

muaykum refers to something that is decisive. It's literally

telling you something. It's decisive. What Oh Haru Allah is

telling us. Other Ayat are mutashabi hat, mutashebi. It's we

don't know what it means. We may never know what it means. And

that's Allah showing us his power over us. He doesn't have to we

don't have to understand everything he says. And we may be

of a level of Iman and intellect and understanding of Arabic that

is low, and it went over our heads. It's very possible there

are some Ayat will never, ever have a certainty of knowledge of

what it is. And those are the haruflam mean. So we know that

they're letters. But why are they there? What do they mean? Is

there? What is the benefit of reciting elephant mean? Could

there possibly be a spiritual benefit to that. Allah knows best,

because we know that words have have impacts on life. The words

that we utter has just like you take a pill, your body feels

better. You can take a set of pills. Could transform a family.

If there's a dad who's a little bit mentally off, he takes some

mental health pills, or whatever. Psychiatrist gives him some pills,

he's better.

The whole family improves, right? So we know that about little

pieces of pills. So words, we know have impacts.

If you learn the right words, you can be a great salesman.

If you learn the right words, you could be a be a great husband. So

words have a lot of now, imagine when the word comes from Allah. So

we know for sure there's a benefit to it, but we just don't know what

the benefit is, and we don't know exactly what the meaning is. Many

scholars and tabain have speculated as to the meaning the

ayat and mutasha Behat, we know for sure means much as much as

shabby nobody should devote excess amounts of time to it, or much

amount of time to it, because, at the end of the day, Allah Alam,

and definitely, for sure, in this era that we're living in, there

should be no division amongst the Ummah over muta shabihat.

I mean, look at what's actually happening in life. And there is a

group of people in every generation who have their

priorities off, and they go deep into these mushavi hat and they

establish their Aqeedah based on muta shabihat. Don't be amongst

them. The Prophet sallallahu, alayhi wasallam said Hadith Sahih

Muslim call at Tella Rasulullah sallallahu, alaihi wasallam LA who

Allah, the angel, Kitab, familia kullub, him Zayed. As for those

people who have in their heart some crookedness, there's

something wrong with his art. He has a spiritual problem. The

Prophet didn't say he's ignorant. The Prophet didn't say he made a

mistake. The Prophet bought the root of the matter to his heart.

Now, there could be a scholar, a righteous person, who makes a

mistake about them with the shabby hat, but it would be something

that he gave a small amount of his attention to, and he made a

mistake. No problem there. But what the Prophet, what the aah

says here. These people have crookedness in their heart. What

do they do? Faith to be on a matter Shaba Haman, they're always

talking about the mutashevi. Why are you always talking about

something that's unclear to us all, because of a sickness in the

heart. If it's not, they like division. They like to divide up

the ummah. They like fitna. Fit in here means division, and fitnah

means confusion. Fitzni can have a lot of words. Could mean killing,

could mean division. Could be confusion. Web tira at will, and

they really want to know, and they're not satisfied. Just say,

Allah knows best. Allah,

even the Mullin, the people who make tatwill and say, well, it

seemed ya Dula, ima, Jama generally, it means Allah is with

the group. The blessing of God is with the group. The Hand of Allah

is with the Jamaat. They say, blessing of Allah is with the

group. Maybe it says, Bunny, this is ijtihad. Could be. But in

general, there is a general agreement that that general verse

refers to that last third of the night Allah comes down to lowest

heavens in general. We all know what it means, Allah, you're very

close to Allah in the last third of the night. You don't need to

ask and decipher into how does Allah come down? What is the

nature of his coming down?

And in our Aqeedah, you have to negate, what is the mockham versus

what the established verses? You have to negate that all of what

I'm saying and all of what I said about the bidah all has the same

theme is that Muslims have to unify on what is muaqam

and recognize where there's differences and recognize what

we'll never know. Everyone who says anything about them with the

Shabbat must set Allah knows best. We really don't know exactly what

the truth is.

We may know exactly what the truth is not. We

definitely know what it is not based on the makam. The makam is

the decisive so the vague or the unclear is interpreted vis a vis

What's clear, not the other way around, wamaya, Alam, wa tawilah,

only Allah knows it's Tawil. It's true meaning. So what do we mean

by that? Only Allah knows with the absolute knowledge. Allah's

knowledge is absolute, but scholars can know it, but

recognizing that is speculative, right? Like I know

ulama may say that, yeah, this is what it means, yes, but he even

that. He'll tell you with van, with ich jihad, right? With an

effort to understand that could possibly be wrong, right? But we

may feel like it's 99% true, correct? We go with it, but

recognizing that it's by van,

what Rasi Huna Phil and those with certain knowledge, they say it's

all from our Lord, and we believe in it, whatever Allah meant by it,

is what we believe. That's what Imam, as she says about such

matters. So when we as Muslims have to elevate our discourse to

realize that there are shaitan tries to divide us up and divide

up religious people and pious people by muta shabby hat

decisive verses and unknown verses. How could Allah send us a

book and has things that are unknown? It's unknown because

you're ignorant. That's why you're the one speaking to you. Has such

so much more knowledge than you,

and there is a wisdom why he kept it hidden. The wisdom why he kept

it hidden is because it exposes those who have a sickness in their

hearts. They keep plucking away at it. So it's a litmus test. The

mutasheba is a litmus test. That's why Allah put them there. He put

things there that we don't know and we cannot ever fully

absolutely know. We may have a theory about it, a Lundy ijtihadi

speculation about it, but we'll never fully know.

The reason is, by putting those verses there, Allah tells us the

peep, you will know the people who have certain knowledge, who have

found strong foundation knowledge, and those whose hearts are

crooked, the Markham. It goes back to two meanings. Number one, that

which the meaning is crystal clear. There's no discussion about

it, right? Like, for example, let's just take this as a visual.

This mic here is crystal clear. In front of your eyes. The contents

of this cup is not now, the contents of this cup is up for

theory, speculation. You know, it's not going to be like hi C. Is

that company still in business? Just sugar water and color? You

know, it's, it's chance, chances are 1% that is. No one's walk

around with a coffee mug with high C in it, right?

Chances are it's going to be coffee or tea, right? It's not

going to be water. No one drinks water out of a mug like this. But

nonetheless, you can speculate all you want, but you cannot know

absolutely, because you haven't seen it. You don't know it. So

that's what he means here. The opposite of that is that which is

crystal clear. There is no discussion that this is a mic.

Can't have a discussion on if you have a discussion on it, you're

playing dumb. You part from this. If anyone here says this is not a

mic. He's playing dumb. You're being stupid, and we're not

talking to you anymore. You're out of the discussion. You're playing

dumb. We call this in theology, as we have plenty of that in our

world today. I said it many times. Transgenderism is the number one

of these. Like a guy is right in front of you. You know he's a guy.

You cannot tell me he's not a guy, right? You are playing dumb.

You're, you're, you're being you're you're doing whatever you

are, or you're ill. If you genuinely believe He's not a guy,

you're ill.

And mutasha be is that which could have different possibilities. So

in that, it's the muta, he's he's tucked in there Vani texts vanity,

which could have multiple possible meanings. We just, we have to

speculate as to which is which. And then there's the other branch

of that is we definitely don't know what it is like a lame

the mutasha be is a word that actually has two different

meanings, like the qur in Arabic language, can mean the blood of

menstruation or the period of purity.

Though, what can let the bied, the one in whose hand is the knot of

marriage.

Is it we're talking about the husband? We're talking about the

Wali, or talking about the woman herself? Could be different

opinions on that. These words could have multiple meanings. And

another example is the attributes of Allah, which would which would

indicate that he's like his creation in having limits and

having a direction and having a location. We know Allah created

all locations, so we and he didn't change before after creation. So

we cannot be in Would not it would be irrationally impossible for.

Allah to be the creator and not change and yet be in a location

it's inconceivable.

Do the rasikhina Bilal? Do they know the meaning of these mutasha

or not?

And is where Rasi Huna, Phil altifa amla says here, umay ala

mutawila, who illallah, WA Rasi Huna Phil so is no one knows its

true meaning except Allah. And the people who are, who have are

firmly grounded in knowledge, or no one knows its meaning except

Allah period. And this is well listed enough. Well listed enough

means the well that begins a new sentence. Now this is something

you can learn when you see, well in the Quran. Firstly, I have 19

possibilities. I'll just give you three of the most common ones.

Number one, cousin, an oath Wallahi. Number two, out adding a

list

no one knows its meaning except Allah and those who have firm

foundations of knowledge, or is Tina means literally, instead of a

period, they just put well in front of the next sentence. In

Arabic, they didn't have periods, they put well in front of the next

sentence. So lay Alamut. Wala ala illallah, walay Alala, no one

knows its meaning except Allah. Period. What Ross

new sentence, the those who are firmly founded in knowledge,

firmly grounded in knowledge, they they say it's all from our Lord.

We believe in it. So that's so here, it's unknown. It's up to

both possibilities. Are there? Okay, Tamil manain, it could be

wawath and wawalist, enough.

Okay, well, kulwah, nobody should get emotionally attached to an

interpretation ever. And that's the the from the chicks of shaytan

and jahal.

You get emotionally attached to an interpretation to what point you

can love it as much as you can. We love armadahi. We love rash. But

you don't

have discord division or you separate the brothers accordingly.

That would be a trick of Iblis. The whole point of today's session

Markham with a yesterday on bida the other day, is to show where

there is room. And you can love an opinion all you want, but you

cannot separate from your brothers. You should definitely

cannot have Tasha and should not have argumentation. It should no

trick of Iblis is to get you on. What is motel fee? What is
