Zia Sheikh – Consequence for Not Beleiving

But the second meaning is what is meant

here.

That what is called is Isaal illal Matloob.

Meaning that what is Matloob, the guidance that

is Matloob, the people do not reach that.

Meaning to actually get guidance, to attain guidance,

to achieve guidance, that is also known as

Hidayah.

So one Hidayah is Allah guiding somebody, showing

him the way, and the second step of

that guidance is actually achieving that guidance.

So La Yahdihimullah means that Allah SWT does

not let them achieve the guidance because they

don't want the guidance.

They don't want the guidance in the first

place, so therefore Allah SWT does not guide

them.

Walahum Adhabun Alim, and for them, specifically for

them, there is a very painful punishment.

The next verse, What is the consequence of

a person who does not believe in the

Ayat of Allah SWT?

Another consequence is that he will make false

accusations, false assumptions, false claims about Allah SWT.

And this is what the next verse says.

Innama Yaftali Al-Kathiba Al-Ladhina La Yuminuna

Bi Ayati Allah Indeed, those people that do

not have Iman in the Ayat of Allah

SWT, they make false accusations against Allah SWT.

So you will find many misguided groups, people

that want to follow their own whims and

desires and call it Islam, but in reality

they don't really want to follow what Allah

SWT says.

They are basically making accusations against Allah SWT.

So that actually indirectly means that they don't

have Iman in the Ayat of Allah SWT

in the first place.

They don't have Iman, therefore they make these

false accusations and false assumptions about Allah SWT.

And these people are liars.

So the word liars has been used here,

and it really should be Kafiroon, disbelievers.

But Allah SWT wants to show the gravity

of the sin of lying that he is

actually equating it with Kufr.

He is equating it with disbelief.

So those people that don't have Iman in

the Ayat of Allah SWT, they are disbelievers,

right?

Those people that make false accusations against Allah

SWT, they are disbelievers.

They are.

The word Kafir should be used.

But instead Allah SWT used the word liar

to show that lying is such a huge

and such a grave sin.

The Prophet SAW was asked that does a

believer steal?

So the Prophet SAW recited a verse in

the Quran, The man or the woman who

steal cut their hands.

So it means that a person who believes

can in a lapse of judgment or by

making a mistake or by slipping up and

by forgetting the command of Allah SWT, he

can steal.

So he will steal.

And then after that, the person asked the

Prophet SAW, Can a believer actually commit Zina?

So the Prophet SAW said, quoting a verse

from the Quran, That the Zani

man and the Zani woman, meaning adulterous or

fornicating man and woman, give them the prescribed

punishment.

So he said, Yes, this shows that a

believing man, when he again, when he slips

up, believing woman, when she slips up and

forgets about Allah SWT, they can also fall

into this trap of the Shaitan and commit

adultery and fornication.

And then the Prophet SAW was asked, does

a believer actually lie?

So the Prophet SAW said, No.

A believer, one who believes in Allah SWT,

he cannot lie.

He cannot lie.

So this again, this verse, it shows us

the gravity of the sin of lying, so

much so that Allah SWT has equated liars

with disbelievers.

So this is again something to point out.
