When something incredible, something mind-boggling, something out of the ordinary is being described, and the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam's attention is being drop- brought to something.
Like even at, at the end when you see wa ra'aitan nasa yadkhuluna fi dinillahi afwaja.
Even then, you have this idea, shockingly, you're gonna see huge numbers of people entering the religion.
And this is being told to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam at a time where there's no expectation of something like that happening, right? Even, even the few that are there are on the verge of being killed or persecuted, and he's being told huge multitudes are gonna enter the religion, right? So this, this, this phrase has a shock value.
And with that in mind, Allah says, "Ara'aita man ittakhaża ilahahu hawahu?" Have you seen the one...
But actually, in the sequence of ittikhaż, they're mafru- muta'addi ila maf'oolain, the thing you turn it into is actually second.
On Judgment Day, Allah will ask Isa Alaihi Assalam, you know, "Did I tell you? Did you tell people that you should take me and my mother as gods?" So take me and my mother and turn them into what? Gods.
They, there's a, there's a transformation that's happened in which in their mind they actually think they're still worshiping Allah, but they're not anymore.
The word hawa for desire, there's multiple words in Arabic for desire, has to do with an empty space.
This is already strange because in the Quran, in other places, Allah tells us people who follow their desires.
