Living The Quran Through The Living Quran

In this Ramadan series of lectures, Shaykh Saleem reviews Surah al-Fath (48) - The Chapter of the Victory.

In part 7, he goes over the tenth verse: "Those of the Bedouins, the dwellers of the desert, who did not respond to your call to participate in the Minor Pilgrimage Campaign and stayed behind will say to you by way of excuse: “Our possessions and families kept us busy and so we could not join you, so ask Allāh for our forgiveness.” They speak with their tongues that which is not in their hearts. Say to them O Muhammad: “Who is there that can intervene on your behalf with Allāh if He wills harm for you or if He wills a benefit for you? Whatever excuse you offer, bear in mind that Allāh is fully aware of all that you do.”"
