00:00:09,089 --> 00:00:12,089
The Last Day and the Great News

3
00:00:12,089 --> 00:00:19,269
The phrase "the Great News" appears twice in the Noble Qur'an.

4
00:00:19,269 --> 00:00:24,269
One instance is with the definite article "al-" and the other is without it.

5
00:00:24,269 --> 00:00:32,270
Allah the Almighty says: "About what are they asking one another? About the Great News" (Qur'an 78:1-2).

6
00:00:32,270 --> 00:00:38,270
And Allah the Almighty says: "Say, 'It is great news that you are turning away from'" (Qur'an 38:67).

7
00:00:38,270 --> 00:00:45,270
"Al-Naba'" (the News) is a truthful report that imparts knowledge and carries immense benefit.

8
00:00:45,270 --> 00:00:50,460
It has been narrated from the salaf that "the Great News" refers to the Day of Resurrection.

9
00:00:50,460 --> 00:00:55,460
It has also been narrated that it refers to the Noble Qur'an, and both interpretations are plausible.

10
00:00:55,460 --> 00:01:01,460
The report of the Last Day is great due to the terrors and momentous events it contains.

11
00:01:01,460 --> 00:01:05,500
And the Noble Qur'an, its report is great in all that it encompasses.

12
00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:10,500
And due to what it includes of refuting polytheism and establishing monotheism.

13
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:15,500
And establishing resurrection on the Day of Resurrection and the astonishing horrors therein.

14
00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:22,750
The Day of Resurrection has been described as a Great Day in several verses of the Noble Qur'an.

15
00:01:22,750 --> 00:01:29,750
Allah the Almighty says: "So woe to the disbelievers from the witnessing of a Great Day" (Qur'an 38:64).

16
00:01:29,750 --> 00:01:38,750
And Allah the Almighty says: "Do those not think that they will be resurrected for a Great Day?" (Qur'an 83:4).
