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.
