Who Is The Quran Addressing?
So for example when it says that prayer is fard on the believers. It’s talking about THOSE believers in the 7th century. Who is to say that it is fard upon us?
Because it is different when Allah says a fact vs when he gives a command. If Allah says ‘God does not love the transgressors’, that is different to ‘oh you who believe, establish the prayer’ The fact is that God doesn’t love the transgressors. The command is that the believers have to pray. And it’s for the believers that he’s talking to- it’s not a universal fact
When Allah says he is one it is a fact. It is not a command. For something like prayer nowhere does it say if you don’t pray you’re going to hell.
