Allah, Almighty, said:
".. while to Him have [Aslama=submitted] [all] those within the heavens and earth, willingly [Wa=And] by compulsion.." 3:83
Excuse me..
How have they submitted.. by compulsion[Karhan]?
On heavens and earth..
No, on earth..
By compulsion.. means; at the times of wars..
Some people enter Islam at that time.
In Hadith: 'Your Lord wondered at people..
they are dragged into Jannah by chains!'
They become war prisoners.. then, they enter Islam after that.
So, they enter Islam by compulsion!
They entered Islam later..
He shared in the war..
then he became a prisoner.. then he entered Islam.
Many people did so. Right.
So, this is by compulsion..
".. those within the heavens.. " who are these?
They said, Those who are within heavens, have entered Islam willingly..
And, those who are on earth, have entered Islam willingly and by compulsion..
In fact, there is a point..
So, the meaning is; [those within the heavens and earth, willingly [Aw=or] by compulsion.. "
Yes, those within the heavens, willingly..
And, those who are on earth; willingly and by compulsion..
Do we find this in Arabic language? Yes.
In fact, there is a point..
Our Lord said:
"And of his signs is.. " 42:29
".. the creation of the heavens and earth and what He has dispersed throughout them of creatures.. "
So, He has dispersed throughout them.. Right.
[Aslama] means; submitted.
So, if there is submission in heavens..
it maybe willingly or by compulsion!
as on earth!
please, repeat it again.
Our Lord said:
"And of his signs is the creation of the heavens and earth.. "
".. and what He has dispersed throughout them of creatures[Dabah].."
Correct.. Isn't it?.. Yes.
And the word; [Aslama] means; submitted.
Right.
The word; Islam means; submission.
Isn't it?.. Yes.
And, we've said that in heavens..
He has dispersed many types of creatures[Dabah].. throughout them..
So, there might be creatures submissive by compulsion!
Correct.
By submission.
willingly or unwillingly.. they have to submit to the command of Allah.
Even Angels?
All of them submit to the command of Allah..
Angels.. willingly..
Do Angels submit by compulsion?
No, they do.. willingly.
I didn't say that..
He said; Creatures[Dabah]..
Angels are not defined as [Dabah]!
What is the meaning of the word; [Dabah].. linguistically?
And how it is used in the Noble Qur'an?
The verb; [Dba].. is to walk on ground.
But, Arabs use the word; [Dabah]..
I mean linguistically..
for other than mankind..
This is how the word is used..
Arabs do not call man; [Dabah].
This is by Arabs.. for respect..
Are there any [Dabah] in heavens?
Our Lord said so.. there are!
He said: ".. He has dispersed throughout them of creatures[Dabah].."
It is strange.. truly..
Right.
The verse indicates that!
Isn't it.. He has dispersed throughout them..
in all of them.. in plural..
in the heavens and earth.
Isn't it.
So, He has dispersed creatures throughout them.
This means; there are things we know nothing about them!
Who knows who are there in Heavens?
We only know about the Angels.
".. And He creates that which you do not know." 16:8
i.e. He didn't tell us about them..
He didn't inform us about them..
He didn't tell us about all His creations..
Isn't it?.. right.
He didn't tell us about all His creations..
Isn't it?.. right.
How can we tell that there are..
If it is..
Islam means.. submission..
to Allah.
So, everyone is subdued to Allah.. even the disbeliever.. by all means,
they are submissive.. to the laws of Allah!
Isn't it?
To His laws..
In this universe, they submit to..
the commands of Allah, and to the laws implemented by Allah..
willingly or unwillingly.
Correct.
True.
This is a reasonable explanation..
However, experts of Tafsir say that it is Islam..
for creations of Heavens, willingly.. and for creations of earth, willingly and by compulsion.
But, the case of.. man entering Islam by compulsion..
and the choice of religion is non obligatory..
No, we are not saying that..
"There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion.. " 2:256
It is not compulsion like this..
First, he was in war..
and he wasn't willing to enter war..
Sometime, battles happen..
Of course they happen..
Does man hate these or does he like them?
Of course, man hates them.
So, fights happens..
then, prisoners will be taken..
Then it happens, he enters Islam..
So, from the beginning, the situation was compulsory..
It was [Karh] from the beginning.
So, there is no contradiction with the verse..
".. There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion.. "
No.. No.. he was not forced to belief..
But, he was forced to enter into war..
Right.
the word.. we pronounce it as;[Karhan] or [Kurhan].. linguistically..
Both ways are correct..
Meaning-wise; [Karh].. is compulsion from outside..
while, [Kurh].. is from inside.. hate!
"Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful[Kurh] to you.. " 2:216
You do not like it!
".. His mother carried him with hardship [Kurhan] and gave birth to him with hardship[Kurhan].. "
i.e. she..
hated it, but she was not compelled.
So, [Karh] is compulsion.. from outside..
While; [Kurh] is from inside..
Beautiful..
[Karh] is from outside and [Kurh] is from inside.
And [Karh] is [Ikrah] i.e. forcing.
[Kurh] is an internal feeling..
So, "There shall be no compulsion[Ikrah] in [acceptance of] the religion.. "
[Ikrah] is from; [Karh] not from [Kurh].
[Kurh] is an inside feeling.. the person hates something..
Right.
