Kashf al-Ma'aanee of Ibn Jama'aah - Juzz 27
Surah an-Najm
And,
Guessing and conjecture has been mentioned twice in close succession.
The first Aayah blames them for their false beliefs (taking idols and gods besides Allaah). Whereas the second Aayah blames them for their false practices (naming the Angels with female names). Both types of falseness (‘Aqeedah and acts of worship) have been described as “guesswork”.
Surah ar-Rahmaan
إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا أَسْمَاءٌ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَا أَنْتُمْ
وَآبَاؤُكُمْ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ بِهَا مِنْ سُلْطَانٍ ۚ إِنْ يَتَّبِعُونَ
إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهْوَى الْأَنْفُسُ ۖ وَلَقَدْ جَاءَهُمْ مِنْ رَبِّهِمُ
الْهُدَىٰ
“They
follow but a guess and that which they themselves desire” [53:23]And,
وَمَا لَهُمْ بِهِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ۖ إِنْ يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا
الظَّنَّ ۖ وَإِنَّ الظَّنَّ لَا يُغْنِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ شَيْئًا
“They
follow but a guess, and verily, guess is no substitute for the truth” [53:28]Guessing and conjecture has been mentioned twice in close succession.
The first Aayah blames them for their false beliefs (taking idols and gods besides Allaah). Whereas the second Aayah blames them for their false practices (naming the Angels with female names). Both types of falseness (‘Aqeedah and acts of worship) have been described as “guesswork”.
