Zakir Naik – We Say Innaa Lillaahi Wa Innaa Ilayhi Rajioon because of a Polytheists Death

The sister has posed a question that is

allowed that, can we when

you hear the news of death of a

person. And people normally think that only when

you hear the news of death, do you

have to recite this? It's supposed to be

Quran.

It doesn't say that only when you hear

the news of death, you have to recite.

Anything which you feel

which you feel is not right. For example,

if someone falls on also, you can say

that doesn't mean that I'm thinking that he's

dead. Some people think when you decide this,

oh, he has only fallen on the earth

and died.

So many Muslims think that you can only

recite this when a person dies. It's a

misconception.

Any mishap that happens, any misgiving, you can

say,

Regarding the question,

can you say that

to a person when you hear the news

of a non Muslim lying? What is the

meaning of that? The meaning of this recitation

of the Quran is from him we come

and to him we return. Even the non

Muslim has come from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

He has not been evolved from somewhere. Allah

is creator. Allah is his rub. Allah is

his saliq.

And he will go back to Allah only

even if he's a mushrik.

So there's no harm in reciting this.

Yes, you may not go there and pray

for him because if a person dies at

the mushrik,

you cannot pray for him. That's the was

in the Quran. If a person dies at

the mushrik,

after he dies, you cannot say, oh,

Allah give him

How can you so that? Allah says clearly

in chapter 4 was 48 and chapter 4

was 116

that if a person died, there's a mushrik.

If a person is a mushrik, Allah will

never forgive the sin of shirk. If before

dying, if the mushrik repents, Allah will forgive

him. But if a person died at the

mushrik, he shall never go to Jannah. So

you cannot pray for him for Jannah.

You can very well say that from Allah

has come and to Allah has returned, there's

no problem at all. Hope that answers the

question.
