:I seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan the rejected and cursed

In the Name of Allah the Most Beneficent (Mercy for all mankind) the Most Merciful (the Mercy that is special for the Believers):

And We have fastened every man his fate to his neck, and on the Day of Resurrection, We shall bring out for him a book which he will find wide open.

(It will be said to him): Read your book. You yourself are sufficient as a reckoning  produce against you this Day.


 

A: Yes in these verses  Allah Glorified is He the Most High, that He fastened to every man from the children of Adam his fate. Which is his deeds which he did from the good and the evil.

“And We have fastened every man his fate to his neck”

The fate that is decree for him, and its a must that be upon him in his life from the good or evil.

Then so he acts with a positive fate that is decree upon him, with the permission of Allah Glorified is He the Most High. So he acts with his choice not by his force decree of fate (fixed). Allah gave him the choice (to do right or wrong ,  good or evil). Allah gave him hearing and seeing, and understanding, and its explained to him what is harmful, from what is beneficial  and he is an intelligent  person that is aware (which means he understand between what is right and wrong).

So he chooses for his self, either he acts upon righteousness by his choice, either he acts upon  bad deeds by his choose from his own will. This is the meaning: “And We have fastened every man his fate to his neck” what was decree for him from good and evil.

and on the Day of Resurrection, We shall bring out…..

When the day of Judgement is establish, raised from the graves to the Gathering and Resurrection, for meeting Allah Glorified is Allah free from all imperfection and the Most High, it will be places between his hand his reckoning and his results (outcomes either go to Paradise or go to the Hell fire).

We shall bring out for him a book which he will find wide open

The book which it’s full from his life his good and evil deeds,which he did these deeds that was done in this world, all of it recorded at hands preserved (no disposal at hands). Written for those so they will be fasten to the book. That which took place in his life, so it is recording for them all that they do from good to evil (deeds), in a book that is preserved (which they can not dispute about). These pages will be brought out open for him on the day of Resurrection.

 shall bring out for him a book which he will find wide open

Wide open for him to view and see it.

Then it would be said to him:

Read your book

And he will read it just as if he was in the world reading and writing (seeking all his actions was recorded in it). If he can not read and write, all mankind (that day) be able to read his book of deeds. Extended your book which is filled about the worldly affairs the good and the evil (of your actions).

Read your book. You yourself are sufficient as a reckoning produce against you this Day

On the day of reckoning ‘sufficient as a reckoning against you this Day’, so you will accept the deeds that you did in this worldly life. Which was record on you, so you will meet with this book on the day of Judgement.

 Produce against you this Day

Publication produce, all he will read in his book of deeds, that speaks about the worldly deeds (of his good or bad) and written down.  For he who can not read or write , all of them (mankind in general) will read in their books of deeds.

Read your book. You yourself are sufficient as a reckoning produce against you this Day

Which is a Reckoning! And that Allah the Majestic and the Most High will not oppress you (that day).  Related to you, but the deed which you establish for or against your self. This deed you choose (to do good or bad) or your obedience and what you intended to do, and what you was able to do.

sufficient as a reckoning produce against you this Day

So if there any thing in the book of deeds from what’s evil, it came from your self.

تفسير الآية الكريمة (وَكُلَّ إِنسَانٍ أَلْزَمْنَاهُ طَائِرَهُ فِي عُنُقِهِ وَنُخْرِجُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كِتَاباً يَلْقَاهُ مَنشُوراً* اقْرَأْ كِتَابَكَ كَفَى بِنَفْسِكَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكَ حَسِيباً).

السؤال:
مقدَّم الحلقة: بِسْمِ اللهِ الَّرَحْمَنِ الَّرَحِيم الحَمدُ للهِ رَبِ الْعَالمِين والَّصَلَاة والَّسَلَام عَلَى قَائِد الغُرِّ المُحَجَّلِين نَبينَا مُحَمدٍ وعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبهِ أجْمَعين. اللهُم عَلِمْنَا مَا يَنْفَعَنَا وانْفَعْنَا بِمَا عَلَمْتَنَا وَزِدْنَا عِلْمًا يَا كَرِيم، نُرحب بالإخوة والأخوات أجمل الترحيب مع هذا اللقاء الطيب المُبارك الذي يجمعنا بفضيلة الشيخ العلامة صالح بن فوزان الفوزان عضو هيئة كبار العلماء وعضو اللجنة الدائمة للإفتاء أهلًا ومرحبًا بالشيخ صالح مع الإخوةِ والأخوات . الشيخ: حياكم الله وبارك فيكم السؤال: نستفسرعن الآية الكريمة في قوله الحق -تَبارك وتَعالى-: أعُوذُ بِاللَهِ مِنْ الَّشَيْطَان الَّرَجيِم بِسْمِ اللهِ الَّرَحْمَنِ الَّرَحِيم: (وَكُلَّ إِنسَانٍ أَلْزَمْنَاهُ طَائِرَهُ فِي عُنُقِهِ وَنُخْرِجُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كِتَاباً يَلْقَاهُ مَنشُوراً* اقْرَأْ كِتَابَكَ كَفَى بِنَفْسِكَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكَ حَسِيباً).

الجواب: نعم في هذه الآيات يذكر اللهُ -سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالى- أنه ألزم كل إنسان من بني آدم طائره؛ أي عمله الذي عمله من خيرٍ أو شرٍ، (أَلْزَمْنَاهُ طَائِرَهُ فِي عُنُقِهِ) المُقدَّر له لابد أن يجري عليه في حياته من خيرٍ أو شر، ثم فهو يعمل بموجب المُقدَّرعليه، بإذن الله -سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالى- فهو يعمل بإختياره ليس مُجبرًا، أعطاه الله الأختيار، أعطاه اللهُ السَّمع والبصر والعقل، وبيَّن له الضَّار من النافع وهو إنسانٌ عاقلٌ مدرك، فهو يختار لنفسه، إمَّا أن يعمل صالحًا بأختياره وإمَّا أن يعمل عملًا سيئًا بإختياره وإرادته، هذا معنى (أَلْزَمْنَاهُ طَائِرَهُ فِي عُنُقِهِ) يعني ما قُدَّر له من خيرٍ أو شر.

(وَنُخْرِجُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ)، إذا بُعث يوم القيامة، القيامة من القبورإلى الحشر والنشور، ولقاء الله -سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالى- والوقوف بين يديه للمحاسبة والجزاء.

(وَنُخْرِجُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كِتَاباً)، الكتاب الذي أملاه في حياته من الحسنات والسيئات التي عملها في الدنيا كلها مسجلة بأيدي الحفظة والكتبة الذين يلازمونه في حياته، فيسجلون عليه كل ما يعمل من خيرٍ أو شر، في صحائف مع الحفظة، هذه الصحائف تُخرج له يوم القيامة.

(وَنُخْرِجُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كِتَاباً يَلْقَاهُ مَنشُوراً)، مفتوحًا يقرأه ويراه ويُبصره.

ثم يُقال له: (اقْرَأْ كِتَابَكَ)، فيقرأه سواءً كان في الدنيا يقرأ ويكتب أو كان لا يقرأ ولا يكتب، كل إنسان يقرأ كتابه، أقرأ كتابك الذي أمليته في الدنيا، من خير أو شر.

(اقْرَأْ كِتَابَكَ كَفَى بِنَفْسِكَ الْيَوْمَ)، في يوم القيامة؛ (كَفَى بِنَفْسِكَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكَ حَسِيباً)، فأنت إنما تقابل عملًا عملته في الدنيا، وسُجل عليك وتلقاه يوم القيامة، (مَنشُوراً)، كلٌ يقرأ كتابه؛ الذي يقرأ في الدنيا ويُكتب والذي لا يقرأ ولا يكتب، كلهم يقرأون كتابهم.

(اقْرَأْ كِتَابَكَ كَفَى بِنَفْسِكَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكَ حَسِيباً)، أي مُحَاسِبًأ وأن الله –جَلَّ وَعَلَا- لم يظلمك، وإنما أنت الذي قدَّمت لنفسك هذا العمل بإختيارك وطوعك، وإرادتك وقدرتك.

(كَفَى بِنَفْسِكَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكَ حَسِيباً)، فإذا كان فيه ما يسوؤك فلا تلومن إلا نفسك.



 و معني  طائر: الطائرُ الحظُّ من الخير والشِّر ، وبه فُسِّرَ قولُه تعالى في التنزيل العزيز : الإسراء آية 13 وَكُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ أَلْزَمْنَاهُ طَائِرَهُ فِي عُنُقِهِ ) ) .
