Mufti says verse 80, 'you cannot make the dead hear', speaks about those in the grave, and verse 81 says that only Allah guides those blinded by misguidance. Verse 82 says that when the word has come to pass Allah will bring out a creature from the earth that will speak to them because they did not believe in His signs. He says verses 83 and 84, on the day each group of deniers is gathered and asked whether they denied Allah's signs, clearly speak of the Day of Judgment, so the passage runs from the grave to the judgment and its outcome. ## Sources and names cited - Quran 27:80-84: https://quran.com/27/80-84 - Quran 27:82 (we will bring out for them a creature from the earth): https://quran.com/27/82 ## Transcript (machine tier, 3:55–7:05) [3:15] misquoting is wrong that that's that to say attribute miss quotations to you is wrong you're not misquoting so I mean I I appreciate that and this kind of it's a shame we can't have this civil discussion with people you know there was Mawlana a niece of Lester who had a similar discussion with me he felt I was miss quoting him now shoot we took out the tough seed we ready ready together at the end he said the same thing you're not misquoting he said okay maybe he'd still like to disagree he said that you know give me this point that point but you know you definitely not misquoting and I and I appreciate I don't want them [3:54] necessarily to agree with me but that civil respect if only we can return to more and more of this and Mel I say right so may Allah bless these all amount and their efforts I mean right so but because I was asked I will kind of read the the actual translation because people said I missed out part which I didn't but I'll read it to you right so this by the way before I read this we've got to understand that these verses of the Quran in surah number that are what are they speaking about they begin with [4:33] verse 80 where Allah says in the collectors mail motor well that was me Asuma do either one long would be mean that you do not make the dead here so he's speaking about the people who are dead and those who are misguided and he says well my aunt Abby had ill only unbel Allah to him in touch me allow me to be a attina for Muslim moon you can simply only you can't guide those who are kind of blinded by their miss guidance only those whom Allah wills they are Muslim so that's the verse then so the first verse verse 80 is speaking about the grave okay and he speaks about [5:11] you can't make them you can't benefit them you can't make them be guided neither those who are misguided then first 82 is this verse why they walk I'll follow Ali him original home table a terminal or they took a limo and the NASA can will be ayat inna my opinion verse 82 so 8180 about the grave 81 is talking about even if they were misguided only Allah guides them 82 is when the matter has been established and we will take out for them a creature that will address them [5:47] that they used to deny our verses they didn't believe in offices okay then 83 what so a t28 is 82 apparently what I had said was talking about the day of judgment the grave the day of judgment and then 83 and 84 say were Yaman a shadow mean couldn't Leo muttonfudge am in May you cut the movie ayat enough a who used our own and on the day when we've taken each group of people who disbelieved and they spread apart hot dogger opala occurred up to me iit well-known to hate to be her ailment and mother kuntum damn alone and allah says [6:25] did you deny my verses and what was it that you you know we're doing so 83 and 84 are clearly speaking about the day of judgment so the grave the the judgment and then the afterlife about about what there is what the result and so on about these groups so the other thing to ask people is you ask them well okay let's put this all aside for a moment i want you to tell me what do you want us to believe in about this beast so they say we want you to believe that at the end [7:04] of times there will be a beast so he said well first of all what do you mean by end of times do you mean when the time has ended or do you mean it hasn't ended there's still plenty of time to come yet like when this let's say an antichrist and people are still running around doing their thing with daily business do you mean then and what is the purpose of this beast so because this beast is not a fitness not a trial for people it's from the usher artists from the signs of the hour so most people will say we don't know they will say well once the beast appears then a man can't be accepted from anyone ## Cite Mufti Abu Layth Archive, segment EoQ_mXafx5o/s/2. https://muftiabulayth.org/r/eoq_mxafx5o/s/2/ Not a fatwa: these answers were given to specific people at specific times.
